It was past time to tackle the problems that were in his way. Case in point, the problem that he didn't have more than a sword at his disposal presently. His lack of weapons couldn't be tolerated any longer than it had been previously. As he had been here before, Warren made up his mind. Exiting the warehouse once he had checked about a dozen times to make sure that he could summon his sword to his hand in case he should need it, as he didn't want to be unarmed again, Warren made his way to his next destination. Using the elevator, he'd proceed up to Tier One and the Great Library.
It was clear he didn't know enough about the Omniverse to say the least. As he didn't know enough about the place, and he was sure he was scarcely informed, Warren had a difficult choice to make. Should he stay the path he was on or begin anew? Upon arriving at the library, which took him an hour, and made him wish he had a motorcycle, Warren started going through the books, trying to find anything of use. Finding some maps of the Omniverse, Warren sat down with them and
Upon reading one of the books that mentioned a blade that had special properties, but didn't go into much more detail than that,Warren went to where the reference books within the Library were. Upon doing so, he collected one on "magical blades" and another on "technological weapons" as well. From there, another collection of books were gathered by him. Typically, he wouldn't read this much, but as he had a need for more weapons to add to his bag of tricks; he knew there was too much work to be done. Reading was easy to do, but the work he had was going to be difficult. The Z-Tech Wrist Blasters he had in the past had been a godsend and would have proven more useful than other weapons, but now that he didn't have them, he needed to figure out what he wanted to replace them. It was mandatory at this point that he change that.
For one of the mistakes he had made had been pissing off Storm Troopers. This was why he was in the library and not trying his hand at constructing an energy sword just yet. When one of the books mentioned one, or the designs for one anyway,Warren took a close look at said page, and made a copy of it out of Omnilium. If he was going to do that later he was going to do it right and he would know how to do it this time around. Information was something he didn't have when he had previously been in the Omniverse. But with the knowledge he had, and the aid of the books of the library, he could do more than he had before. Cursing Omni to a fate worse than death, Warren began copying books that held any useful information inside of them.
What was it going to take to ensure his victory here? Last time he was here, he had ended up on the bad side of a "hero" and that was a problem he was going to have to look into. Eliminating such an individual was going to be a difficult challenge, especially when he only had one weapon in his bag of tricks. It was said that desperation could bring about innovation. Well, right now, Warren was desperate. He didn't have any ideas as to what he could build, potentially. Energy swords were probably out, as he wasn't going to run the slightest risk of bringing the ire of the Storm Troopers down on himself. For that reason explosives were also out. Still, he had read a few books on how to make explosives, and some on how to make blaster pistols, as well as many on how other fire-arms worked. It couldn't be that hard to find a suitable theme to his weapons this time around. Last time he had a foot-ball theme to them but he didn't want to be stuck in the past.
"Last time I had blasters that were built into the wrists of my suit. I also had other moves, that included a chaotic energy katana. Last time I had an arsenal, but now I have nothing but a sword. What else could I possibly need?"
There was an excellent question, more than one that Warren didn’t know the answer to. Without his lab, or Fort Zimmer, he didn’t know what he was going to do with himself. Here was a chance to start over, but was he truly stuck in the past? Shaking his head to clear himself from his self doubt, Warren decided on something. Self-pity could be tossed in the garbage can, because there was much that was needed and very little time to do it in. His skills were rusty; he was pathetic right now. It was not something he was going to tolerate.
Memories of what Saint Walker had told him about the power of emotions came to mind. Perhaps he could weaponize one of the emotions for himself in the future? It was as worthy a weapon as any. Analyzing and examining the shelves for any traces of books on the subject of rings that could channel emotions, he found a newspaper related to what Sinestro had done. It didn’t say how the ring worked, only described the ring much to his annoyance. Frustrated that he had found very little on the subject of energy weaponry, as that was what he wanted to create, Warren scowled.
“Damn it. Why can’t I find anything of relative use on weapons in this place? I need weapons, because I don’t have much. A sword is not enough. Explosives won’t fit the bill, because they would only attract attention to me.”
Surrounded by the books of the library that he had stacked into huge piles around him, well any that he had deemed useful anyway Warren admitted to himself that here he didn't feel as annoyed. Of course the library didn't have Stormtroopers whom he desired to disembowel as slowly as he was able to do. The Library smelled clean, like someone had recently cleaned it. It was a vast building, and was going to take a while for Warren to explore. Since he had found what he had been after, Warren smiled to himself. The Library was definitely useful to him, at least for right now anyway.
