Misadventures in the Multiverse

Chapter Thirty Six

Marcy shakes as her phone rings. She answers it. It's a call from The Natasha. "How are things going over there Marcy?" She asks her. She holds her hand to the phone looking over at Them, they are chanting while Clyde, Raleigh, and a few members of the squad are having some sort of eating contest. Clyde had already given up laying his head down bloated, but Raleigh, and Jacob still had plenty of room somehow. "Everything is... Fine... Please come back..." She pleads with her. "I'm afraid It's going to be a while they all have their heads up their ass. You're a big girl Marcy I'm sure you can keep everything civil." She says to her hanging up. Marcy lets out a huge sigh very stressed. "Where is all that food going in your tiny little body?" Jacob asks close to his limit. "Trade secret." She giggles seeming to be able to keep going. "I give up." He says passing out onto the table. Raleigh stands on the chair triumphantly lording her victory over them all. "Haha you Union guys think you are so tough, but you haven't beaten me at anything yet." Raleigh brags.

"Well how about one more game. We need some booze to wash down all this food now anyway." Jacob says. "Your on." She grins sitting back down. Clyde knows this will be one battle she isn't going to win. "Um... we aren't allowed to drink on base... remember." Marcy said meekly. "Come on live a little." Lucy said jabbing her sides sitting down with them. "That never stopped us anyway." Marcy looked like she might cry. "I suppose I should introduce you guys to the rest of our team." Jacob said taking the first big chug of his beer that had already been prepared by the man wearing glasses. "This lovely lady is Sara she is our muscle." He said as she smiled flexing. "Now this gentlemen is our resident smart guy. His name is Simon." He pointed to the man in glasses who sat down joining them. "And lastly our little trooper Tyler. He's only nineteen so he will have to drink juice instead." He says making quotation marks as he slid a beer of over to the youngest member of their squad. He has long green hair, you might even mistake him for a girl. "Thanks boss I love juice." He winked. "Oh and hue." Jerks his neck towards a smiling man at the end of the table.

They all started to drink Raleigh quickly started to get buzzed and even a little drunk. Sara giggles. "Wow she's a total light weight that's embarrassing." She laughed harder thinking about it. Tyler followed soon after, but ended up passing out. The drinks piled up till only three remained. Lucy was starting to get woozy. "Damn it... I'm out." She said passing out. All while Marcy panicked in the corner powerless to do anything. It was down to just Jacob, and Clyde. "Well look at you, I didn't expect it to end like this. Well you got another one in you?" Jacob asked. Clyde didn't seem all that phased at all. He had grown quite a tolerance for alcohol over the years despite not partaking too often. "I can do this all day." He said downing another drink in front of him. "Why you two even here it's gotta be something big right?" Jacob asked in a drunken stooper.

"It's not really a secret. We came here to get your help against the empire before they destroy the place." Clyde answers only for Jacob to pass out soon after. Clyde sighs looking over at the only person still awake in the room. "So whats your deal why are you so nervous?" "I have to deal with this everyday with the threat of losing my job. Why wouldn't I be panicking!" She yells. "Well if you ask me that is making it harder." Clyde said not sure what to do now that everyone is out for the count. "Thanks but I didn't ask." She said seeming to be more irritable now. He shrugged waiting for everyone to get back on their feet.

Not far away outside a portal opens in the sky, and five figures emerge, and land on the roof of one of the barracks. It's none other than The Ultra Scouts. They all look a little more jaded than before, wearing cloaks covering their power suits. "We finally made it." Adrian says to them all. Azure looks around a little unsure of everything. "Something seems off." Azure says only for Maya to speak up. "What do you mean?" "Well the signatures did lead us here, but look at those men down there they aren't wearing the same uniforms, as The Empire." He goes on to explain.
