"But are you sure he'll be able to handle himself?" Paige asked. "I mean he's just a normal person with no powers. Can he really fight meta humans? Hell we don't even attempt it."
"Well I have a feeling Ryker will be fine." Lincoln said. "He did singlehandedly destroy twenty-four Jestorbots. Plus I think he's tougher than he looks."
"He did save my cousin Carlota from a hostage situation at the mall that one time. Those guys had assault rifles and all Ryker had was his revolvers." Ronnie Anne said.
"You got a point there." Lynn said. "And he did save us from those Jestorbots the first time we met him."
"He sure did." Lana said. "Not to mention he fought against those Jestorbots while he was heading downstairs to the ring."
"Guys I think our new friend might a badass." Ronnie Anne said.
"Agreed." Everyone said in unison.
"So this is the Golden Tiger." Johnny comments as Golden Tiger stepped out of the van with Nuke, Phantom and Zoya.
"How's it going?" Tiger says.
"I thought he'd be bigger." Candyman said causing Tiger to growl.
"Tiger is strong fighter able to go toe to toe with the five members of the L-Crew that have super strength and durability." Nuke said. "We thought he'd be a fine addition to our little team."
"Indeed lads, plus we think he could teach Zoya a thing or two about fighting." Phantom added.
"You want me to teach this girl to fight?" Golden Tiger asked.
"Yes, she can coat herself with metal, but only her arms and legs so far." Johnny said. "We need her to learn how to run our operations of something happens to us."
"Hmm, sounds like fun." Tiger said.
"And in return you have a spot at the table." Johnny told him. "A spot in the Terror Crew where we can do whatever we want and take out whoever we want where you'll have money and power at your fingertips."
"I like that." Tiger said. "Alright I'm in."
"Good now let me tell you our current plan." Johnny said before he whispered it into Golden Tiger's ear.
"Oh now I'm definitely in now." Tiger said.
"Good." Nuke said. "So are Squatch and Virus back yet?"
"Not yet." Candyman responded. "They're getting the men ready for phase one."
"Phase one? What's phase one?" Tiger asked.
"Let's just say we're paying an old friend a visit." Johnny said with an evil smile.
In an old lab in town Damian Stuart was monitoring the completion of the Multiverse Portal. Down below, Pike and Xander were pushing a large power generator into place and hooking it up to the portal base. Once attached it activated for a split second before shutting down.
"Good good. It's almost complete." Stuart said.
Smoke: I hope you all enjoy this new chapter. This is also the final chapter featuring Jestor. He's dead, offline, terminated. You get the idea. So you won't be seeing him again. Plus Ryker is now an ally to the L-crew. As for the portal, we'll get to it as soon as we can.
Zachlor16: Hope y'all enjoyed the chapter. So next chapter will be different. Basically it'll be filler but after that chapter we'll be getting to the good stuff. So look forward to that
Smoke: So in the meantime, please read, review and stay safe.
