Jr was pushed through the mysterious portal by the torpedo shot at him and flew across the huge, white, and marble platform of a building

Jr didnt notice the fancy surroundings, he wrestled the torpedo and aimed it down at the ground; Jr braced for impact but it simply hit the ground and made a somewhat anti-climactic clunk as it stopped dancing across the room

Jr stood up and faced 3 people in greek looking uniforms sitting in jury looking seats made of marble and elevated above the ground slightly.  It resembled a modern day court room.  The sky was almost all clouds with some rays of sunshine and sky shinning through

Jr looked at the 2 men sitting at the side, then at the woman in the middle chair, which appeared to be the leader position

"Where am I? What is this?" Jr asked inpatiently.

"Welcome to the Pantheon Jr.  We have been expecting you" the woman in the middle announced.  She wore a greek style outfit with purple robes resembling royalty, Her eyes glowed bright white

"This place seems lovely but I seriously need to get back now" Jr turned around to face the portal only to be met with air.  The portal was gone

"What the..?" Jr turned around to see the woman stretching a hand in his direction

"Did you just make my only way out of here disappear?" Jr said angrily, he didnt have time to waste being here

"You will not be leaving this place until you hear our message.  This is a more important position then a mortal can realize.  Sit down and we will talk." The woman pointed to a chair

The man to the left continued her sentence.  "Dont worry about your friends.  The passage of time is impossible here.  Sit down and listen".  The man wore a similar outfit to the woman, their eyes and clothes glowed white.  The man on the right appeared the same

With seemingly no options, Jr sat down on the chair infront of the 3 godly beings

"My name is Desdemona. We have been watching your conflict with 'Namasu' and we have determined that he is a threat to the pantheon" the middle woman explained

"Hes a threat? How?" Jr asked

"Hes stolen the element 203 samples we instructed the guardian city to protect.  Hutzo and his army have failed us." The man on the right explained

"It truly is a tragedy that Hutzo and the guardian city lost their lives defending our relics, allas they are minor collateral damage in the grand scheme of things" The left man spoke

"They gave life and limb defending you .. and thats all you have to say about them? How can you say that so casually?!" Jr said aggressively

"Do not raise your voice at us mortal!" The right man yelled out

Desdemona shut everyone up by pointing to a bell.  It rung and sounded like it could be heard throughout wherever this place is.

"Jr, I know your grief.  But this is an important matter, and we cannot let emotions get in the way" Desdamona looked down at Jr expecting a reply

Desdemona continued

"We are the gods of energy.  We dictate all that is, isnt, will, and will not happen or exist" Desdemona explained

Jr didnt say anything, just stared up in contemplation with eyebrows forrowed and aloud her to continue talking.

"The universe is more fragile then you think.  All of the energy in a universe cannot be held by one being or construct.. in this case, the construct being the universe" Desdemona continued
