The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 129
The gang was now in Thebes which was known as the big olive as they were helping Hercules become a true hero
The gang was now in the city of Thebes as they were crossing the street
Stick with me, guys. This city is a dangerous place. Phil said
How dangerous? Punk said
While they were crossing the street a passing carriage was speeding by almost hitting them
Like that. Phil said
Look where you're goin' numbskull! the driver said
Hey, I'm walkin' here! You see what I mean? Phil said
That wasn't so bad. Sophitia said
Not so bad? I'm tellin' you...they're wackos. Phil said
Pita bread, pita bread, get your pita bread here! the bread man said
Some good bread. Punk said
Not the bread. Phil said
Hey, Macks and Dame. the smuggler said
He opens his coat at the gang revealing something
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Phil sad
The smuggler reveals some clocks and watches
You wanna buy a sundial? the smuggler said
They're not interested, all right? Come on, guys. Phil said
Dude he was selling clocks and watches. It's still not that bad. Punk said
Oh really? Well then wait until you see this. Phil said
See what? Batman said
The end is coming! Can't you feel it? the crazy man said
Yes, yes. Thank you for the info. Yes. We'll ponder that for a while. Phil said
Okay that was crazy. Punk said
It was. Batman said
I agree. Sophitia said
Hulk feel freaked out. Hulk said
Just stare at the sidewalk. Come on. Don't make eye contact. People here are nuts. That's because they live in a city of turmoil. Phil said
Very weird. Hercules said
No kidding. Punk said
Why are they nuts? Sophitia said
That's because they live in a city of turmoil. Phil said
Oh. Sophitia said
But...i can still become a true hero here right? Hercules said
Trust me, kid, you're gonna be just what the doctor ordered. Phil said
Okay. Hercules said
At a fountain nearby a group of people are discussing the city's problems
It was tragic! We lost everything in the fire. the woman said
Everything except old Snowball here. the man said
The man was holding a burned cat
Now, were the fires before or after the earthquake? the strong man said
They were after the earthquake, I remember. the thin woman said
But before the flood... the woman said
Don't even get me started on the crime rate. the old man said
Thebes has certainly gone downfall in a hurry. the woman said
Tell me about it. It seems like every time I turn around there's some new monster wreaking havoc and I... the old man said
All we need now is a plague or locusts. the man said
A locust hops in and chirps scaring everybody
That's it! I'm movin' to Sparta! the old man said
Excuse me. Hercules said
The crowd of people turned and saw Hercules and the others
It, uh *ahem*, seems to me that what you folks need is a hero. Hercules said
Yeah, and who are you? the strong man said
Go ahead Hercules. Tell them. Sophitia said
Okay. Hercules said
Hercules approached the crowd of people
I'm Hercules, and, uh, I happen to be...a hero. Hercules said
The crowd of people started to laugh at what Hercules just said
Is that so? the old man said
A hero! the woman said
Have you ever saved a town before? the old man said
Uh, no, uh, not exactly, but i... Hercules said
Have you ever reversed a natural disaster? the strong man said
Well, uh...no. Hercules said
Oh, listen to this. He's just another chariot chaser. This we need. the strong man said
That's a laugh. the woman said
Don't you pea brains get it? Phil said
Hmm? the thin woman said
This kid is a genuine article. Phil said
Hey, isn't that the goat-man who trained Achilles? the man said
Watch it pal! Phil said
Yeah, you're right. Hey, nice job on those heels! Ya' missed a spot! the strong man said
I got your heel right here! Phil said
Phil charges at the strong man and starts beating him up
I'll wipe that stupid grin off your face! You... Phil said
Hey Phil! Phil! Phil! Take it easy, Phil. Hercules said
What are you, crazy? Sheesh. the strong man said
Young man, we need a professional hero. Not an amateur. the woman said
The crowd of people then left
Well, wait. Stop! Hercules said
Hercules tried to stop them but they were already gone
(Signs) Hercules signed
Hercules then sat next to the building
Are you okay Hercules? Sophitia said
I don't know if i am. Hercules said
What are you talking about? Punk said
I mean how am I supposed to prove myself a hero if nobody will give me a chance? Hercules said
You'll get your chance, you just need some kind of catastrophe or disaster. Phil said
How the hell are we supposed to get that? Punk said
I don't know but... Phil said
Meg then appears in the crowd of people
Please! Help! Please! There's been a terrible accident! Meg said
Meg? Hercules said
Meg? the others said
Speaking of disasters. Phil said
Let's go see what she wants. Punk said
The gang then approaches Meg
Meg. Hercules said
Wonderboy! Hercules! Thank goodness! Meg said
Meg approaches the gang
Something wrong Meg? Hercules said
I need your help wonderboy. Meg said
Wha-what's wrong? Hercules said
What happened? Batman said
Outside of town, two little boys, they were playing in the gorge. There was that rock slide, a terrible rock slide. They're trapped! Meg said
Are you sure? Batman said
Yes. Meg said
Kids? Trapped? Guys, this is great! Hercules said
It is? Punk said
Yeah. Hercules said
Oh. Punk said
You are really choked up about this, aren't ya? Meg said
Come on! Hercules said
No, I...you don't under...i have this terrible fear of heights! Meg said
Hercules dragged Meg with him onto Pegasus and flew off into the air
Let's go join them. Sophitia said
Yeah. Punk said
The warriors then went to see what was going on while Phil was catching up
I'm right behind ya, kid! Whoo! I am way behind ya, kid. Phil said
Phil was getting very tired but he had to keep going
I got a fur wedgie. Phil said
A few minutes later
The gang was now in a rocky area with a giant boulder standing in the middle
Is this the place? Punk said
Yeah...this is it. Meg said
What happened to you Meg? Sophitia said
Just a crazy ride is all. Meg said
Are you okay? Hercules said
I'll be fine. Just get me down before I ruin the upholstery. Meg said
Help! I can't breathe! the first boy said
Hurry! the second boy said
Hercules those boys are in trouble. Sophitia said
I'm on it. Hercules said
Hercules then went to try to save the two boys while the others and everyone else were watching
Get us out! the first boy said
We're suffocating! Somebody call IX-I-I. the second boy said
IX-I-I? Is that supposed to be 911 or something? Punk said
Probably. Batman said
Easy fellas, you'll be all right. Hercules said
We can't last much longer! the first boy said
Get us out before we get crushed! the second boy said
Hercules raises a huge boulder and the kids run out from under it the crowd applauses lightly while the others applaud excitedly
How you boys doin'? Hercules said
Hercules has saved the two boys but it looks like something else is about to happen and it isn't good for everyone what could it be stay tuned
