Chapter 731: Jack Joins the Enterprise (2/2)
”Hmm… I'll allow that once they're capable.”
Jack continued, ”Also, I'd like Bowzer to join me.”
”Jack… Can I…” The young fox god spoke up, hesitating to speak his mind.
”Bowzer, if you want to travel with your Dad, then go for it. You can always come back and work with us if you'd like. The same goes for my other companions,” Jack stated, looking around the room at Phoro, Dragov, Karronteel, and even Jinbe who had come with Perchet and Raztol via Karronteel's spatial rift.
”If Domnius wouldn't mind, I'd want Karronteel to work with me alongside Phoro, Dragov, Jinbe, and eventually Bowzer as another sub-team able to deploy at a moments notice to hit hard when needed.”
”I'm alright with that, but only once Karronteel finished his proper training,” agreed Dominus.
”Then I want to ask a few others but I'm sorry we haven't discussed this before now…” Jack sighed, turning to the gods. ”I agree that Eedaj, Perchet, and Oosam would be amazing additions, but I also want to ask Sillo if he'd like to join because his plethora of energy types allows for a lot of versatility.”
”I…” Taken aback, Sillo needed a second to respond. ”I'm honored by the thought but--”
”Take out the corpses,” mentioned Daruun with a smile. ”We'll revive them now and let them decide for themselves what they wish to do.”
Jack added, ”And Duorda would be included along with Sybin, should she be willing to join.”
As the corpses of the fallen legendary gods were retrieved and placed at the center of the room, Sillo opened his mouth but failed to say something. Everyone then watched Duorda step forward and use his living miasma to pour life back into the many corpses. One-by-one, the fallen opened their eyes and sat up. Relief washed over them as they noticed the strange grouping of gods around them and the lack of in-fighting.
”Sybin!” Sillo leaped forward to embrace his sister, who struggled to believe the reality she was feeling.
”It's better now, right?” Duorda asked in a matter of fact way.
Sybin nodded. ”Yeah… it is.”
”I know you've all just been revived, but I have a proposition for some of you,” Jack continued. ”Oosam, Sillo, would you two be willing to join Perchet, Eedaj, and Sybin to work for me indefinitely? It would involve getting stronger than your wildest imagination and working for one of the strongest organizations in the entire known universe.”
”Sure! So long as no contract is involved!” laughed Oosam, getting everyone to break out in laughter.
”Same… I'm willing if I can learn more,” Sybin stated, showing a serious face but a startled gaze.
”What about us?”
Jack looked to the side, watching Lyrun rise to his feet and stand with Torian and Grixor. The hero smiled and sighed but followed his gut, glancing at Sterfen in search of a response.
