Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 37 ~vinestraps offer~

“You… you’ve killed.. my son!” The king cried. “Well, twas a deathmatch..” Nash said nervously. “GAURDS KILL HIM.” The king yelled furiously. The two gaurds behind him glanced at eachother and nodded. “What are you doing?! KILL HIM!” The king yelled. “No.” A guard said. “w h a t…” the king said angrily, “fine, you.” He pointed at the other guard, “send this one to the dungeon for treason and then kill that son of a amargasaurus that murdered my son!” The king said. “Actually neither of us will be doing that “your majesty”” the other guard said. “How dare you idiots defy me…” the king said, “fine you.. er.. hunter.” He said forgetting Xu’s name yet again, “get the other guards and do what I ask. You may even get a promotion to guard! We are about to have to open spots..” he said. “Actually, your right, Xu will be getting a promotion. to king.” The first guard said. “WHAT?!” The king yelled. “Xu would be a better king than you ever were, you married a gigantopithicus princess just to get a bigger empire, you then killed her when the truce was made, and to top it all off you were willing to give your monster of a son the throne! Heck you can’t even remember any of our names!!” The second guard said. The guards shoved him to the ground and ripped the crown off his head. the first guard kneeled and presented the crown to Xu. The king was speechless. Xu at first hesitated then said. “I never wanted the throne.. but if it’s the best for the kingdom, I’ll do it.” He took the crown. “ALL HAIL THE KING ALL HAIL THE KING!” The crowd chanted. “I don’t like the sound of king.. how about emperor?” Xu said. “Let it be so.” The first guard said. “Uh.. so am I still to be executed?” Nash asked. “No of course not, we are actually in your debt.” Xu said. “How so?” Nash asked. “We’ve wanted to overthrow that tyrant for years but his freakish son was in the way.” The guard explained. “How dare you say that about your fallen prince!” the (former) king said. “What was that? Uh.. whatever your name is.” Guard two said. This made the (former) king so angry it looked like his forehead was about to explode.

The former king was banished from the kingdom, where they knew he would most likely perish once the amargasaurus’s found out about him being alone, but they couldn’t risk him being left in the dungeon to plot an escape. Xu kindly gave Nash the artifact and told him he’d always be welcome in the dinopithicus empire. And so Nash set off for the cave, before it was too late.

“Those stupid..” the former king said cursing under his breath. “Think they can just overthrow me!” He muttered, “Oh, who am I kidding I’m dead out here..”he wandered through the jungle anticipating a sudden end at any moment, then he saw a green flash, a supply drop slowly started lowering down to the dinopithicus. usually creatures avoided them, but he was desperate and had nothing to lose. The drop was a lime green hue and when it finally landed it displayed a green holographic screen, in the screen Salizar looked at him. He looked different, instead of a mask on his burnt eye there was a cybernetic implant, it had a neon lime eye and his veins were illuminated with a soft green glow all around it. “Hello King vinestrap.” Salizar said slowly. “Who.. Who are you?” Vinestrap asked. “That, is none of your concern. All you need to know is that I can offer you revenge on the little knight that murdered your son and took your throne.” Salizar said cunningly. Vinestrap grinned evilly “What must I do..”
