Today I finished chapter 6, which is the second of the four chapters introducing us to the main characters of the book. In this chapter, we meet Ben Merrick, a Jedi Master who is active during the Sith Empire War. He is the son of Jason Merrick, who serves as a replacement of Luke Skywalker during the Imperial Era (though not mentioned in this book, he is part of the lore I made for the Universe this is set in). Ben is tasked by the Jedi Council to find a possible Sith base on the planet Arion. His men can't seem to find anything, until a squad of troopers locates a base. Ben and his men go to this base and Ben notices that the doors seem busted open. Ben looks a little more deeper and finds out that this was recent. He then felt a strange feeling in the force, as if something, or someone, is calling to him. The sounds lead him to a mountain, where he goes looking by himself.
As he's going up the mountain, Ben notices some destroyed Protector Sentries, which he mistakes for droids (robots from Universe F). He then hears noises, and rushes up the hill. Once he gest to the top, he see's Agent N and Agent F fighting each other. Just then, however, Agent N gets the upper hand and stabs Agent F through the chest. Enraged, Ben ignites his green lightsaber, and the two engage each other in a fight. Ben is able to hold his own thanks to his strong connection to the force, and manages to strike a blow to Agent N. Enraged, Agent N traps Ben and uses his abilities to short out a New Republic warship, and pulls it towards Ben. Agent N then leaves, and after breaking free from his trap, Ben uses all his power to stop the ship from crashing on him. He manages to do so, but only for a short time. As he's about to give out, he is teleported. This is where the chapter ends.
Before I end this update, here are a few interesting facts about this chapter:
*Originally, Jason Merrick (Ben Merrick's father) was meant to be the main character for Universe F. However, as the story progressed, I thought it would be better to have the story take place after the Empire, when the Newly built Republic is facing the Sith Empire.
*The reason I chose to have this story take place during the Sith Empire War is because like Universe S, the New Republic's army could be enough to stop Agent N's plans. But with a massive war going on, the New Republic would have to focus solely on that, and wouldn't be able to help the Protectors even if they wanted to.
*The destroyed base in the chapter is actually Agent F's Protector Command Center.
*As mentioned in Chapter 4, Agent F is one of the Protector's who wasn't aware of Agent N turning evil, meaning that she wasn't able to prepare for him or enact her Contingency Protocol.
*Agent F is not mentioned by name in this Chapter
*Being able to stop a falling ship the size of the one Ben stopped would be impossible for any Jedi to do, as it requires someone to be very connected to the force like Ben.

Today I finished Chapter 3, 4, and 5.
In Chapter 3, we see a now corrupted Agent N fight multiple Protectors to get to the dark Stone so that he can unleash his plan. Agent N easily defeats these Protectors and goes to the teleportation room. Once there, he fights Protector Sentries as Agent X manages to teleport the Dark Stone to an unknown destination, then destroys the console so that Agent N can't find out where Agent X teleported it. As Agent N is about to destroy Agent X, Verndari arrives and teleports him and Agent X away from Agent N.
In Chapter 4, we find out where Verndari teleported him and Agent X; the Unknown Sector. Here, Agent N can never find them. Verndari then explains that he managed to teleport the remaining
Protectors back to their Command Centers to prepare to fight Agent N. Verndari also mentions that some Protectors were already at their Command Centers and that he was unable to contact them (since Agent N jammed all communications), so they are unaware that Agent N is coming for them. Verndari then tells Agent X that they need to find the Dark Stone before Agent N does, and that Agent X will need a team to do so. When Agent X asks who, Verndari displays multiple projections of different Universes showing certain people, telling Agent X that these were the people who would help him.
Chapter 5 is the first of the four chapters showing us the members of the main team for the book. In this chapter, we see that Agent N is worried that the Protector's aren't the only ones who can stop his plans, but also the superheroes of Universe S (the Superhuman Universe). To make sure that they don't interfere with his plans, Agent N tasks Universe S Protector Sentries to go there and release all of the super villains to keep the superheroes busy. We then see Barry Allen, a.k.a. the Flash, at his base with the rest of his team when they find out that Iron Heights Prison (the prison that holds all of the Flash's super villains) is releasing all of their prisoners. Barry and his sidekick Wally West (Kid Flash) suit up and run to Iron Heights. Once they get there, they are confronted by the Sentries. They managed to injure the Flash, and after they are defeated by Wally, they begin to self-destruct. The two then try to outrun the explosion, but an injured Barry is almost caught in the massive explosion before being teleported. When Wally escapes, he and the rest of his team think that Barry's dead.
Back at Homeworld, a Sentry informs Agent N about what happened at Iron Heights, and besides that, all the super villains were successfully released. This pleases Agent N, who is about to attack a Protector. This leads into Chapter 6.
For those who don't know, the Flash is DC Comics superhero who can run really fast. The reason why I chose the Flash to be part of the Protectors is because I was always fascinated with the character. Back in the very first drafts of this story, he was still in it (he also wore an exo-suit which gave him his abilities after seeing a picture of an armored Flash). I also chose him out of all of the other superheroes because unlike most heroes, the Flash can time travel, teleport between Universes, phase through objects, and throw lightning, along with many other abilities.
Before I end this update, here are a few notes about the story:
*Spider-man was another candidate for the team. However, he was later scrapped due to him not being able to do much since most of the places the team goes doesn't have anything he can swing on. Also, his power level isn't as high as the Flash's, making him not a good candidate for the team as it's made up of the Multiverse's strongest/greatest heroes.
*In Chapter 3, we meet three new Protectors. Agent W, Agent S, and a third unnamed Protector (this will possibly be changed as the story progresses).
*Agent W and his Universe (the Mystical Universe) was just created in the making of this chapter. I was trying to come up with a new ability and the only I can think of is magic, so Universe W (W meaning "Wizard", the type of person that uses magic. Also Universe M was already taken so I had to come up with a different name).
*The phrase "Contingency Protocol" was mentioned by Verndari in Chapter 4. This will be explored in upcoming chapters.
*Since Team Flash believes that Barry is dead, Wally will take up the mantle of the Flash similar to his comic book counterpart.
*We get our first look at Special Protector Sentries; Sentries designed to have abilities similar to their Protector counterparts. In Chapter 5, we saw Universe S Protector Sentries, who have a vast database of every superhero and villain in Universe S, along with being able to use their abilities similar to Agent S.
In Chapter 3, we see a now corrupted Agent N fight multiple Protectors to get to the dark Stone so that he can unleash his plan. Agent N easily defeats these Protectors and goes to the teleportation room.

Today I made a few edits to the previous chapters and completed chapter 2. I wanted to add a bit more details to the beginning so that the reader can better understand what is going on. Along with this, I have changed the Key Notes part. Originally, there would be a * symbol next to something that had more information, and I would put that at the bottom of the page. However, Doing this took a lot of space and most of the time it wouldn't fit at the bottom of the page. Since I am using Google Docs to write my story, I decided to use a different option; comments. This feature allows me to add keynotes without having them mess up the layout of the pages. Now, all you have to do is click the highlighted word, and a message containing the key note will pop up. I'm not sure if this will work when I publish it, but if it doesn't, I will go back to the original idea. Until then, this is how I will do key notes.
This chapter is not as long as the previous chapters due to it setting up the story's main antagonist along with there being no fight scene. In this chapter, Verndari (the Grand Protector), Agent N and Agent X discuss what will happen now that the Ragnarok (the Great Destroyer) is gone. Agent N doesn't believe that Ragnarok is dead, while Agent X and Verndari believe he is. Verndari then tasks Agent X and Agent N with retrieving the Dark Stone that is being sent back to Homeworld to figure out what to do with it. As they leave, Agent N feels weird, along with his Core turning dark like in the chapter before. He then tells a worried Agent X that he's probably just bruised from fighting Ragnarok, and has Agent X go on as he goes to his quarters. We then find out that ever since the fight with Ragnarok, Agent N has been fighting the Darkness that is trying to corrupt him. but he doesn't think that he can keep fighting. We then see Agent N become corrupted by the Darkness as his Core and white armor turn dark. Now corrupted, Agent N wants to destroy the Protectors and the Light, and he knows how to do it. This is where the chapter ends.
Due to the chapter being short, there wasn't much new information we were given besides Agent N turning evil. We aren't given much information about the other Protectors, but the main idea of this is that Agent N and Agent X are the two best Protectors in the Corps. Before I end this update, here are a few notes about the story:
*Up to this point, Universe X no longer exists. The reason for this is currently unknown.
*Protector Sentries were created by the Watchers to be their main fighting force and security force before the Protectors. The Sentries were used in the Grand Multiverse war and were often led by Protectors who served as generals. Besides fighting, Sentries are also used for security. They are often in charge of guarding the Grand Protector, important rooms, and the Protector Command Centers. These Sentries carry a laser rifle and are extremely intelligent.
*Similar to the Protectors, Protector Sentries are powered by Light Cores, however they aren't as powerful as the Protector's Light Cores.
*The Grand Protector uses Observatory to watch over current events in the Multiverse and informs Protectors of important tasks

Today, I finished chapter 1 of my story. The chapter is set centuries later to the final battle of the Great Multiverse War. The Protectors need to stop Ragnarok, the Great Destroyer, before he fully regains his strength from the events of the last chapter to destroy the Protectors once and for all. We meet two new characters, Agent X (one of the main characters of the story), and Agent N, who are the two best Protectors in the entire corps. Basically, the Protectors and Protector Sentries (the main fighting force of the Protector Army) are tasked with creating a diversion while Agent X and Agent N get to Ragnarok's stronghold and take him out. The plan works, as Ragnarok releases all of his troops to engage the Protector Army. Agent X and Agent N then get to the stronghold and raise the alarm as Agent N destroys the door. The two then engage some enemies and locate Ragnarok. The two then get to Ragnarok, who is at full power, and engage him. After a quick fight, Ragnarok gets to the top of the stronghold to unleash his power on the Protectors. Agent N catches him and they engage in another fight. Ragnarok beats Agent N and prepares to use the power of the Dark Stone. With one last chance, Agent N blasts the Dark Stone and it releases a burst of energy, which knocks Ragnarok out and hits Agent N. For a brief moment, we see Agent N's Light Core turn dark, but goes back to normal after Agent N resists the temptation. Agent X meets back with Agent N who notices that the Dark Stone is about to explode of all the Dark Energy built up, and Agent N calls Verndari (now known as the grand Protector), to teleport them back to the capital ship before the Dark Stone explodes. Verndari manages to do so, and in the neck of time. Verndari then tells Agent L that the battle is won and to have all the forces report back to the capital ship, along with sending a search party to locate the Dark Stone. This is where the chapter ends.
I wanted to explain to you guys what the suits Agent N and Agent X are wearing and what their abilities are. The suits have some similarities to the Iron Man suit from Marvel Comics. The Light Core is on the person's chest and has a different color depending on the Universe it's from. Agent X has a red color and Agent N has a light purple color. Each suit has a unique weapon that suits their Universe's unique ability. Agent X doesn't have one due to Ragnarok being from his Universe so he couldn't implement the Universe's unique ability when forming the Light Cores. Due to this, Agent X uses two swords that are retracted from his back and are extremely deadly as Agent X is a skilled melee fighter. Agent N is able to forge objects due to him having technopathic abilities. Each armor can also shoot energy beams from their hands (similar to the repulsors Iron Man uses), and can also release a massive amount of energy from their Cores (similar to Iron Man's Unibeam). The armors also have the ability of flight and can survive in space. Along with this, each suit as a computer to give them information and the status on the suit's systems.
This marks the end of this update, but first, here are some interesting facts about this chapter:
*Agent N was one of the first characters I ever created. But he originally was named Nano Man (due to him using nano bots to create almost anything), and was originally a villain for a team of superheroes from a different story. I remembered him and thought he would make a good Protector.
*When thinking of a team of heroes from different Universes, Agent X was implemented from past ideas to become the leader of the group. Originally, there was no meaning to his name (Agent X), but since "Agent" usually means your part of an organization, the original team of the Protectors of the Multiverse was created.

Today, I completed my first chapter of my book, the prologue. Along with this, I have also created a guide to the Multiverse, which provides a description of each Universe shown in the story. During the story, you will sometimes see this symbol *, which indicates that there is more to what is being said or more information on the subject. I added this in so that the story can continue while the reader can understand a bit more of what's going on. In this chapter, we learn about the Multiverse was like before it was changed forever. The main characters of this chapter are Ragnarok and Verndari, who are Watchers. These beings are in charge of watching over the Multiverse, and use very powerful weapons known as Light Stones. Ragnarok realizes that there is a powerful being that will destroy the Multiverse, so he tries to convince the other Watchers that the only way to stop him is using the other power source; the Darkness. The Watchers disagree, however, because using the Darkness can corrupt the wielder and isn't worth the risk. Angry, Ragnarok storm off. This is the first time we see Verndari, who will go on to be the Grand Protector. Ragnarok then goes to the planet Terr, home of the Darkness, to use the Darkness himself. While first successful, he loses control and becomes corrupted by the Darkness, causing him to want to destroy the Light. He then goes back to Homeworld and uses his power to spread darkness throughout the Multiverse. Verndari engages Ragnarok but is trapped by him. Only until he sees a Universe be destroyed by Darkenss does Verndari break free and engage Ragnarok. After a battle, Ragnarok escapes back to Terr, where he takes time to regain his strength since the stunt he pulled made him weak from using all his power. Verndari and the other Watchers look at the Multiverse, and see that the unbalance caused by Ragnarok is destroying the Multiverse. To stop this from happening, each Watcher travels to each Universe and use their Light Stone to keep the Universe from being destroyed. But before this, they all use their powers to create new weapons called Light Cores, which find people who are worthy and turn them into the next generation of Protectors. Verndari stays behind to train and watch over the new Protectors of the Multiverse. This is the end of the Prologue. I enjoyed writing it, and I hope people will enjoy reading it. That's all for this update. But first, here are a few interesting facts about this chapter:
*Verndari is Icelandic for "Protector"
*Terr is Albanian for "Darkness"
*Other than being the Leader, the other reason why Verndari did not go to a Universe like the other Watchers was because his Universe was the one destroyed by Ragnarok
*Of all the Universes, Universe X does not have any special ability because it was Ragnarok's Universe, and only he had the connection to that Universe's special ability
*Verndari is Icelandic for "Protector"
*Terr is Albanian for "Darkness"
*Other than being the Leader, the other reason why Verndari did not go to a Universe like the other Watchers was because his Universe was the one destroyed by Ragnarok
*Of all the Universes, Universe X does not have any special ability because it was Ragnarok's Universe, and only he had the connection to that Universe's special ability
Introduction
Hello, my name is Josh Bayer, and I am creating this blog to show you guys my journey to writing my story, the Protectors of the Multiverse.
