The next thing Warren realized, he was in a library of sorts but one that was bigger than Fort Zimmer had been. Tons of books were strewn on the ground, and throughout the place. There were also numerous magical artifacts of varying designs, and styles throughout the place. Spears, swords, axes, maces and what not filled a good portion of the room. Talismans, potions and many other interesting bits of magic existed. There were even books on how to cast spells properly and improperly. Furthermore cobwebs lined the place, and it was filthy. Whoever had used the place last was not someone who took good care of his property. Hacking a little at the dust as he brushed a bookshelf off, Warren groaned. It was going to be one of those days where he did the work without reward. If he were to be honest with himself, Warren didn't even want magic. The mere fact was he needed something to substitute for his Z-Tech Wrist Blasters which he no longer had. Honestly were he still in possession of all his equipment, Warren knew he wouldn't be doing something like this.Sadly in a situation like this he had little choice. Primes were stripped of all but the minimal amount of their power they could cling to with all of their might. Sure they could rebuild their power over time, but that was the keyword. Time was something that wasn't possessed by Warren in any abundance. As the Quarterback of Chaos he knew it was highly likely that some of the heroic types were going to come after him. Such was the law of the universe.
The heroes always went after the villains of the universe, it was a fact. Laws could be changed, and rules could be amended. Facts however could not be adjusted in any way, because they were concrete evidence. The laws of physics didn't apply here to the degree they did because of the Omnilium. It could be used to warp and restructure items, to create items and to perform many other feats that could only be dreamed of. Even when he had the Anti Core, or the Core Warren had never dreamed he'd possess an opportunity like the one he had that laid before him right now. Here in the Omniverse he didn't have to worry about something not being possible for him to learn from his world. There were tons of abilities he could learn, and lots of weapons he could gain access to. Sure for right now he was limited to a sword and a spear, but that didn't have to be forever. When he was strong enough, Warren knew he could reclaim Fort Zimmer and make it his own. The question though was if reclaiming Fort Zimmer was the right play or not. It was certainly a beneficial play, but did he honestly need a place like that right now? Having a home meant having security and stability. Yet if he didn't possess the strength to protect such a place, what was the good in having it? There was another question that popped into his mind unbidden. As he let his body go on auto pilot cleaning the library, he began to focus on the past and the present. In the past he had made numerous mistakes.
One of those mistakes was one he regretted, even now. It was a mistake he had made on Coruscant, and one he was never going to repeat. He'd underestimated his enemy, and that had cost him dearly. The Imperial Stormtroopers had humiliated him and beaten him severely. They'd also undid his efforts to clean the vehicles he'd been assigned to as punishment. Still he had managed despite their interference to get the vehicles done and cleaned. One of the costs of the cleaning had been that he was incredibly sore, and in a lot of pain. The pain had disappeared but the memory of such was never going to fade. Nor did he want it to, as it served to a reminder to him. Even for all he knew, and could prepare to deal with, Warren was not invincible.
