It's early in the morning in the Sandopolis Zone.The hot sun shone on 
the sand.The DL weren't happy.In fact,they're irritated.Here they 
are,standing in the sweltering heat wearing dark robes and listening to 
Kragok making a long speech.His speeches might be inspiring but man,can he 
carry on!

In Kragok's tent,Lupe-An,Fifi-Lu and Lien-Da were playing cards.
"How many minutes now?" Fifi-Lu asked Lupe-An.
"He was talking for about...20 minutes!" Lupe-An replied after she 
checked her watch.
"I can't believe what an ego he gets when he makes a speech!" Lien-Da 
fumed,placing a card on the table.
"Well,he IS the leader and leaders must do inspiring speeches..." 
Lupe-An explained.Suddenly,they heard Kragok scream,"BY AMIL'S FORCE!!"
"What on Mobius?" Lien-Da wondered.The trio rushed out of the tent and 
stopped in their tracks when they saw some tall guy wearing 
"pharaoh-styled" clothes.His mask looked like a pharaoh's crown as well.

"Who is that?He even destroyed Dimitri's statue!" Fifi-Lu snarled.
"What is he and Kragok talking about?" Lupe-An and Lien-Da wondered.To 
their surprise,Kragok took the guy's mask off.Fifi-Lu's eyes 
widened.That face and the nose...it's none other than Dimitri,her 
father-in-law.Lien-Da fumed when he claims to be the Dark Legion's new leader.How dare 
he?

Fifi-Lu and the grandmistresses ran(or in Fifi-Lu's case,fly)up to 
Kragok and Dimitri.The three saluted their new leader.The Dark Legion 
chanted."Hail Dimitri"
"My people,we will conquer the world but first,we will begin by 
striking him who dared deny us." Enerjak says.The Dark Legion and Kragok 
raised their fists in the air.In fact,the only one who didn't raise her fist 
was Lien-Da.She just doesn't like this guy.Dimitri looked at his new 
army and said,"My name's not Dimitri anymore,it's now 'Lord Enerjak'.I 
don't want you to wear my name out."

"Lord Enerjak,allow me to show you around the camp and give you the 
passwords for the computers ONLY the grandmaster knows?" Kragok offered 
nervously.Enerjak nodded in agreement.Instead of using the stairs,Kragok 
leaped off the stage.Enerjak simply teleported next to Kragok.
"Follow me,Lord Enerjak." Kragok whispered.He doesn't understand why he 
felt so nervous in his ancestor's presence.Enerjak walked alongside 
Kragok,he doesn't like walking behind someone.

*A few tents later*

"This here is the Med-tent.All the injured,sick and those who are 
expecting to give birth are sent here." Kragok told Enerjak in a cocky 
tone.Enerjak noticed how everyone stopped what they're doing to just salute.
'Are they afraid of Kragok?' he wondered.Kragok was so nervous in his 
presence so can they be afraid of him?

*Much later,Kragok's tent*

Enerjak sat in Kragok's desk while Kragok took his laptop out of the 
drawer.This laptop's a gun blue.It's surprisingly large as well.
"This laptop has everything.Blueprints for any weaponry,profiles of all 
the Dark Legionnaires and most important,the Grandmaster family 
tree.There's only one password you can't crack without my DNA..." Kragok said 
proudly.He stood on the left side of the desk,a bit away from his 
ancestor.
"Why,Kragok?Is it something personal?" Enerjak asked while he switched 
the laptop on.
"Well,NO one should know it.Top secret.",Kragok said mysteriously,"The 
only way you CAN crack the password WITHOUT my DNA would be if you 
download the whole laptop's memory into a computer and then download it 
into a robot.Even then,you can't read that...secret."
"Why don't you show it to me.I promise I won't tell anyone."
"I don't know..." Kragok whispered,biting his lower lip.
"Oh well,I won't force you if you don't want to,Kragok."
"Okay,let me give you all the passwords besides that one..." 
'Hmmm...why doesn't he want anyone to know that password.Is it blocking 
info that no one,not even his relatives should know?' Enerjak wondered.

While Kragok showed Enerjak the passwords,a hum broke the silence.
"What's that?" Enerjak asked Kragok.
"Oh,just the life-supporter tube.It helps Lee-An to breathe while we're 
trying to gain the chaos emeralds...they only thing that can save 
her..."
"Who is 'Lee-An',Kragok?"
"My daughter."
"Your--?" Enerjak exclaimed,He turned around from his sitting 
position.Right behind him is a cryogenic tube.Its glass has a dark green 
tint.Enerjak got up from his seat,quite in awe.He cautiously walked up to the 
life-supporter tube.He squinted his eyes to see the figure 
inside.Kragok looked away in shame.He still has the guilt.

"How old is she?" he asked Kragok.
"She's...4 years old but we tried to save her by making her ten years 
old...as soon as she's able to live without life-support,we'll reverse 
that process." Kragok whispered while fighting the tears.
"Let's make a deal.After we conquer Echidnapolis,I'll revive your 
daughter.Deal?"
"Deal." Kragok agreed.They both shook hands to make the deal geniune.

*Later,while Enerjak captures Archimedes and Deo*

Lupe-An checked if her husband's alone.He is.She playfully crept up 
behind Kragok and covered his eyes.
"Guess who is it." she purred.
"Lupe-An." Kragok smiled.She uncovered his eyes and smiled slyly at her 
husband.
"What is it?" he asked.Her smile just got wider.
"I'm pregnant with quadruplets,Kragok.Two boys and two girls.I'm one 
week pregnant already..."
"Oh my..." was the only thing Kragok could say.This is great 
news.Unable to bottle up his excitement,he punched the air with his robotic hand 
and yelled,"ALL RIGHT!"
"What are you so excited about,Kragok?" a voice asked from outside the 
tent.Kragok and Lupe-An turned around.They sighed with relief when they 
notice it's just Enerjak.
"Oh...I am a..."Kragok muttered sheepishly. 
"...father!" Lupe-An finished Kragok's sentence.
"Really?",Enerjak mused,"and who is the mother?"
"Me.I'm Kragok's wife,Doctor Lady Lupe-An.You can call me 'Loopy','Doc' 
or 'Angel'." Lupe-An replied.Enerjak cleared his throat as soon as he 
recovered from this surprise.He never,ever saw a female with so much 
confidence and yet her husband seems so nervous.

*Later,after Enerjak grabbed Knuckles at the end of Knuckles # 7*

Kragok couldn't believe who he saw walking through the DL 
camp,Julie-Su.He ran up to her.
"So,you finally came back...where's that treacherous Knuckles and Lord 
Enerjak?" he asked the ticked-off Julie-Su.

"Well,Enerjak's torturing that Guardian..." Julie-Su said.She turned 
around and sighed.
'Oh,Knuckles,be alright.' she hoped.

*Meanwhile*

"Knuckles,I'll torture you like you were never tortured before.No one 
should EVER mock me without being killed by me later..." Enerjak snarled 
while he teleports both of them to the Mobian moon...
"Gee,nice to meet you too,Enerjak..." Knuckles muttered.
"Knuckles,I'll make you wish you were never born!"
"Do it already!" Knuckles mocked him.That honked Enerjak off.
"That's it!Let's see how you like being shark bait!" Enerjak snarled 
while he teleported Knuckes to the Mobian sea...
