  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.
