Looking into the Past.

King Zarkon of Planet Doom and the ninth kingdom in the Drule Empire looked at his computer. He was just broswing. He clicked on a clip from the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon and played it: 

Sinvely: Here it is Dr. Robotnik enough memory to duplicate human complexity.

Dr. Robonik: Excellent Sinvley install it.

 

Zarkon laughs.

 

But tonight also he looked back to when Lotor was small. He was five a year after his mother's death. Lotor saw scout ships headed for unknown areas of space. "Father where are they going?". "To a new world far from here it is a newly discovered world and it is ours". "Oh", said Lotor.

 

Zarkon said, "You shall rule that world to when you are king".

 

Both father and son walked back to the thone room together.

 

Zarkon looked at his comptuer and sighed off and went to bed. Anoither day soon would dawn.
