Story - The Battle of Ages

??? – "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
???? – "He… he's…"

_________________________________________________________________________________________
A being just awoke in a dark room with a bit of light penetrating through a square window with a forcefield generator throughout the borders of said window. It seemed to have ran out of batteries or was shut down a long time ago, as the window border generators were a bit rusty. It probably was shut down, as there are visible solar panels in the generators.

The room was dark, though there was nothing in it. It looked ancient, degradation of the walls could be seen, like a 1940's wall. The setting looked as if it had degraded for over a century, though nothing was known. The being looked at himself. He was fully mechanic. Nothing natural could be seen on his body. It was all mechanic.

He was repowered by an external timer, though his CPU timed out a long time ago due to being shut down for more than 100 years. When this being's CPU timed out, it reset back to its original settings. Whatever happened, he sure didn't know where, when or even what he was. He seemed to have had a nightmare before it, however.

He got up, slowly. He wasn't rusting for some reason, maybe his alloy was strong. All he cared about was to get out. He knew he timed out, he knew he was alive, he just didn't know anything else. It's like being born again. He walked towards the door, which was unlocked. He proceeded to open it. He grabbed a handle at the bottom of the door with his two arms, and pulled it upwards, opening the door, only to be seen by 14 tourists to the site.

A grey, furred, humanoid half-mechanic person greeted the being. He was an Hakonian, and was named 60088A, since Hakonian names have numbers and letters ordered randomly.

60088A – "A fully mechanized Hakonian!"

Suddenly the being recognized himself. He was Hakonian. He greeted 60088A, with an odd greeting in an odd form of the Hakonian Language.

Being – "Kûma Akbû, 60088A."
60088A – "Is that old Hakonian?"
Being – "Old?"
60088A – "Well, today we say Kûakbu. Hey wait! How old are you, sir?"
Being – "I don't renember  my age, my birthday, my serial, my name, I forgot everything, but I seem to have Timed Out…"
60088A – "Ahh Time Out… Well, that means-"

Suddenly, a 4 legged blue short being with an odd rounded mouth and a tail with features on his back and rich clothes made of tin (Since in Terrida, tin is rarer than gold) interrupted him. He was named Hiiko, and was a Terridan.

Hiiko – "What's a Time Out?"
60088A – "A Time Out is when a fully mechanized Hakonian resets himself to his original settings after being shut down for a certain period of time."

Both spoke different languages, one spoke Terridan, the other New Hakonian. And both understood each other. However, the being didn't…

Being – "What language is the Rakel speaking?"
60088A – "Language, you say? And Rakel? The Terridan? Rarridav?"
Being – "Yes, the Rakel."
Hiiko – "A rude racist guy, it seems…"
60088A – "No, he's speaking old Hakonian, he is not related to the Hakonian Independence Coalition."

The HIC was a coalition that is planning to separate the Hakonians from the Terridor Federation once more, the Terridor Federation being the unified empire of the Terridans, Hakonians and the Shargash. They call Terridans Rakels, which in New Hakonian, it's like calling a german a nazi. However, Rakel is an old Hakonian word, thus the being uses it. Hakonians have known of Terridans from long before the Federation was founded.

60088A – "Look, being, let me upload something to you…"

He then pushed a button in his head, and suddenly, something happened in the being's head. He was now fluent in New Hakonian and Terridan, however, 60088A noticed something…

60088A – "All your memories are corrupt files. Millions and Millions of them! What happened?!"
Being – "I have not even a name… As I said, I renember nothing."
60088A – "Well, since I uploaded languages to your brain, and some maps too, you could try to find a hospital. From your timeout, you must be like 150-ish years old, but you could be older. Something you must note, we are no longer independent due to an economic crisis. We spent too much on war and we didn't even have money to put implants on ourselves. Thus we are now part of the Terridor Federation, a union between the Terridans, Hakonians, and a red tough species known as the Shargash."
Being – "Whatever, like I renember my old empire… Goodbye."
60088A – "Goodbye."

The being left, in despair for some renemberance of his past life. He left the site he was trapped in. He noticed it was an old prison, very large with 13 giant buildings, made to lock up the most hideous criminals of the Hakonian Empire, however, he didn't see himself as a criminal. Just a lost man with no home, no job, not even a name.

He left the Prison's hill and into the urban area. Flying Cars are used by Hakonians rather than land vehicles, and the people walk on the ground. He followed his map in his mind, his pseudo-brain. He acted like an intelligent living being, but he was nothing but an AI that was once a naturally born being. Hakonians are proud of having torn apart their bond with nature. This leads to slightly polluted cities whose CO₂ was converted to oxygen and at times, heavy smog which required Hakonians to light up their mechanic eyes using luminous flashlights. But also, it makes them almost an unnatural species. How far Hakonians will go in destroying this bond? Who knows, however, all this didn't affect their daily lives much.

Being – "Everything's so… Kyavu."

Kyavu is Hakonian for "technologically advanced and cool at the same time". It is often used by Modern Hakonians when they take vacations to other more advanced empires.

The being, while walking on the huge walkspace that replaced the sidewalk, noticed a bar, where drinks and electrical charges were sold. Since Hakonians don't drink for pleasure, they are electro-charged instead, which gives them a very pleasurable feeling that lasts for 15 KRE minutes. Something hit his memory when he looked at that bar. He used to be electro-charged there. He went inside, and noticed it changed completely from his faded memories.

The bar's walls were now fully coated with LEDs, the electro-chargers were in another room with a picture of an Hakonian with a glowing blue eye on the door, which was also a pull-up door, and the drinks were served by an AI. The AI noticed the being.

AI – "According to our database you were born today, but in your pseudo-brain you timed out 147 years ago, with a stored birthdate in the Hakonian calendar… converting to KRE… 11/06/121 KRE. Damn, you're old. Since you're fully mechanized you are isent from the age limit of electro-charges."

The Hakonian Calendar, officially the "Taikon Calendar", used to be the main Hakonian Calendar until 401 KRE, when KRE replaced the Taikon Calendar. It is currently the year 2146 in the Taikon calendar, and 1 KRE year is 1.59 Taikon years. Blue is the color for "approval", rather than green for humans, thus a door with a blue glowing eye is signaling Hakonians to enter. But the being was more confused when he was confused for being born today.

Being – "How was I born today?"
AI – "Well, 3090AAK0…"

The being now had a name. He had a new serial, thus a new name, randomized by the Hakonian global network.

AI – "When you timed out, it reset even your old serial. So in the database, it was replaced with a new serial. Thus you were "born" today. At least that's what I'm seeing with wireless connections to your pseudo-brain. Be lucky Electro-charges are free for a first time, because you have no money too. I insist you get your Millions of corrupted memory files checked, your old serial may be there. It will paste itself to the network if it can. So, have a free electro-charge?"

Hakonian AIs connect to other Hakonians through wireless. That is their IDs. An Hakonian's ID number is their serial. Without it, a person is not Hakonian. The other races have to show ID cards though, as they are not Half-Mechanic. Pre-implanted Hakonians also need to do so too. Hakonians's bank accounts are also linked to their serials. Without them, you have no money.

3090AAK0 went into the electro-charge room. While he was entering, an information popup appeared in one part of the LED walls. It said "Dangerous Giant Dragon who threatened the city of HKH1 defeated 250 years ago today".

There, he saw 5 simple pods, white in color, with an opening the size of an Hakonian's body. It was cylindrical shaped, and had electrical equipment inside them. Another AI greeted him.

AI – "The other AI tells me you weren't born today, so proceed with your free electro-charge."

He proceeded to get in the pod. An emerging window quickly closed the door of the pod, and electrical equipment started poking at 3090AAK0. He was then electrocuted, though unlike how a human would react, or anyone non-Hakonian, he felt re-invigorated, strong, and had a nice feeling from the shock. The window opened again, and he was dropped out of the pod.

3090AAK0 – "Damn!!!"
AI – "Come back when you get fixed, 3090AAK0, or whatever your old name was!"
3090AAK0 – "Sure."

He left the bar. He still had that feeling from the shock. It made him giggle a little, then he decided to run to the Hospital, which was 2 Km away, or 390 Kegos. The other people who watched him run just looked at him, and carried on, since they know electro-charged Hakonians tend to do this. 8 minutes later, he arrived to the "HKH1 Pluoî", or the HKH1 recovery center. He was a bit nervous, but went in anyways.

He pulled up the door to open it, revealing 1 corridor that split into 3 halfway through. The left corridor was colored blue, for Terridans, the central corridor was colored grey, for Hakonians, and the right corridor was colored red, for Shargashians. 3090AAK0 went into the central corridor, which led to a door that had the same picture that he saw in the bar he was in.

He opened it, revealing some stairs going down. Upon going into those stairs, he could see hundreds of Hakonians, either suffering from biological diseases or viruses. He went to an empty lobby, where he was answered by an Hakonian female.

3090AAK0 – "I have amnesia, can you help me?"
Clerk 1090JU – "One second."
She scanned his mind, only to find the problems he has.
1090JU – "My, it looks serious, a healer will see you in room 309-ÎK. His serial is 30KÔIA2209-8099WW."

Hakonian names are composed of the 2nd part of a Hakonian's serial. The serial is used to identify Hakonians in the global database.3090AAK0 then proceeded to room 309-ÎK, where his doctor was waiting outside the door.

8099WW – "Is that you? You, amnesiac, come here!"

He went inside. To his surprise, 8099WW's room looked like a botanical garden. Trees and plants in Planet HKH1 were blue and not green, though some were red from being brought here from other planets. A surgery bed could be seen in the center, with the medical equipment, while the garden were on both sides. 3090AAK0 asked:

3090AAK0 – "Why the Apoeqû?" – Apoequ meaning "garden facility".
8099WW – "My lad, we all came from nature. Once we were non-mechanical animals, who didn't seek knowledge and improvement. Your memory is as empty as our brains before sapience. We're here to fix that. Lay on this bed so the surgery can begin."
3090AAK0 laid on the surgery bed. Then, he plugged a cable to his connector in his back, and proceeded to say:
8099WW – "We will shut you down now."

He was shut down. Fully mechanical Hakonians, when being shut down, have their vision suddenly blacked out and they are set unconscious. 8099WW then proceeded to run an error check program, followed by a file repair product. The file repair product, though, could only fix 10% of his memory, enhough for the doctor to see what happened to him. He played what was repaired of his memories.

??? – "Look, scum, you may have put us in danger, but the law will-----"

The screen was very static in this video. He switched to a better one.

???? – "Why would you want to ----roy HKH1?"
3090AAK0 – "Because I want to become a ----------- I need the core!"

He switched 3090AAK0 back on.

8099WW – "Your memories are quite weird, lad. They talk about cores and this planet… What do you renember?"
3090AAK0 – "Nothing."
8099WW – "Well the file repair program is still running. You'll lose your amnesia in about a few days. Come back on… 19 Uninaar, ok?"
3090AAK0 – "Very well."

3090AAK0 Left the building, but not before having flashbacks…

??? – "For you to become more powerful, you need the core. The hyper-active core of this planet will power your Drak-Daakian mechanical body for centuries, then you can proceed with rebuilding him, making him the size of a planet…"
3090AAK0 – "But why do I need the core to rebuild him?"
??? – "Idiot. You won't last 9 Kralions inside that thing with YOUR batteries and generators in space!"  (1 Kralion = 0.6 hours)
3090AAK0 – "Where do I rebuild?"
??? – "The Krolegian Daak rulership will provide a safe place for you to proceed. Renember, 55U0, your allegiance is with the Immortal Daak-Daakian Krolego. You were chosen by him to take his place in the throne, and all you have to do is destroy the Hako Empire. Especially HAKO, their homeworld…"

A Drak-Daakian is like a dragon, only with 6 legs and with far more horns. Apparently, he was chosen by Krolego to take his place in the throne after his ship crashed in a Yotunian planet during a trip to its neighbor empire, the Sskaa Akvii homeworld, and revealing the planet's underground city, allowing the Rulership to bully it and its inhabitants.

The reasons why the Daak-Daakians wanted the murder of all Hakonians is unknown, but it has most likely to do with debt, as Hakonians were poor at the time. Now he renembers his original mission, destroy the Hakonians and take over the Daak-Daakian throne… He knew where to start.

/3090AAK0/55U0/ – "I renember… Under the might of Krolego, I shall take back my Drak-Daakian mechanical creation and take the core of this planet! Hahahaha!!!"

He walked like a normal person to an elevator, which led him to the first floor of the city. In an Hakonian city there are 3 floors, the ground pedestrian floor, the 1st floor for transporation, and the 2nd floor for businesses or wealthy people's housing. The elevators could be found every 43m, and could lead to all 3 floors.

He took the grey elevator with a glass door to the first floor, and once he got out of it, he went to a flying vehicle station and pressed a red button. 1 minute later, a flying vehicle could be seen. Since he had his old serial back, he now had 1.6 Million Hegrodureids, the Hakonian currency. However, due to the Hako Empire getting even poorer throughout their pre-Federation years, he literally only had 12000 Kladeis, or 4000 Kron, the Kraw Galaxy's currency.

As he walked in, he received a personal mental message that was only played in his brain.

Mental Message – "Thank you for travelling with us. Destination?"
55U0 – *Mentally* "City of 9IQ9."
Mental Message – "Price: 8.75 Kron, current balance, 3991.25 KR."
55U0 – *Mentally* "Wait, what? I thought I had way more!"
Mental Message – "The Value of the Hakonian Hegrodureid has diminished sharply since your last deposit, in 149 KRE. Currently you indeed have 3991.25 KR. Sorry for the inconvenience."
55U0 - *Mentally* - "FRAK!"

Angry because he had little money now, he sat in a chair, next to a girl, who exibited sadness, something rare in Hakonian society. She was yelled at to stop with that "suicidal emotion" by other Hakonians, them being yelled at by Terridans, but she never stopped crying. Through mental reading, 55U0 concluded she was 17, and just got into adulthood, having been gifted with her implants 12 hours ago.

Girl - *Cries* "Why, mother? Was I not good enhough for you?"
Hakonian – "Shut up!"
Girl – "What am I supposed to do! I was abandoned! By my own mother!"

55U0 thought of this as a chance to get an ally. He touched her back with his finger, gently.

55U0 – "Hello. Who are you?"
Girl – "My serial name is 8RR4."
55U0 – "Tell me, what happened?"
8RR4 – "Well, if you insist… My mother is part of a more classical Rshvûed, where they always respect manners and denied implants, saying they were against their laws."

A Rshvûed is like a caste, someone is born into it, however, a Hakonian can always change Rshvûeds, 96% of Hakonians choosing the common Rshvûed. However, changing Rshvûeds sometimes has dire consequences. This girl was abandoned because of this.

8RR4 – "When I was 8, I was mocked by others all the time because of my Rshvûed. So I decided to secretly become one with the modern Rshvûed. I kept it hidden from my family until my father died at age 37, because he had no implants. I was 14 then. When I was at his goodbye ceremony, I accidentally revealed my true self. My mom began to limit me so much, always watching wherever I go with a camera. Yesterday, I decided to get implants, because it was a sign of adulthood, and because I could not have such a limited lifespan like my father. Once I got them, my mother called. I was abandoned, my things were destroyed, all I have is 20 Kron!" *Cries*
55U0 – "Your story is sad. If you want, you can stay in my warehouse, provided you serve me and my goal, which I will upload to you now."
8RR4 – "You're giving me a home?" *Cries of happiness* "Thank you, I will do everything for you!"

She then saw his goal to destroy HKH1. She didn't care about morals anymore, since she now had an eternal ally.

8RR4 – *Mentally* "I understand the pain it must have been being trapped for 250 years only to find out 99% of your money vanished… When you get rulership in the Daak Rulership, I want to rule besides you, I want to stay with you forever…"
55U0 – *Mentally* "You're actually submitting? I guess I can care more about you than what I was planning… You're wonderful."
8RR4 – "Thank you! I don't care about anything else, just want a home…"
55U0 – "And I will get you a home, a home in the highest heights of my power."
8RR4 - *Mentally to 55U0* "Thank you! Now that I see it, you are my ancestor… Before you were offered rulership and that Drak-Daakian, you had a child, E0090."
55U0 - *Mentally to 8RR4, while looking at her geneanology* "It's true… you are my descendent… Never thought I'd find one…"

8RR4 hugged him, glad to find a common ancestor, but furthemore, she understood how her  Rshvûed came to be. After 55U0 was arrested and deacivated and had his memories erased, special rules were formed in E0090's family so that incidents like this would never happen again. Thus a new Rshvûed was formed. They landed in the city of 9IQ9, right next to 55U0's warehouse.

55U0 – "My descendant, here is the ultimate heirloom of our family, the Drak-Daakian body!"

He pulled up the very wide door, only for them to hear Hakonian Hard techno music, with many people dancing to a beat harder than any human techno has ever been. The warehouse was covered in LEDs, with their Drak-Daakian being converted into a prop for the "Heûvo Dance Place". 55U0 was angered. He went to the "sound creator" and said:

55U0 – "What have you done to my warehouse???"
SC 0010 – "What?"
55U0 – "This is mine, not yours!"
SC 0010 – "I can't hear you, speak mentally!"
55U0 – *Mentally* "I am 55U0, surrender this Dance Place and hand over my Drak-Daakian!"
SC 0010 – "Nice costume! You really looked like that Tyrant who foolishly wanted to be ruler of the Daaks! Hah!"
55U0 – "Scan me, idiot."
SC 0010 – *After scanning* "Under Hakonian law, this is mine now! Get out, Tyrant!"
8RR4 - *Mentally* "What's more important? Dancing or saving a poor girl's life?"
SC 0010 – "Hmph."

After lots of brawling between these 3 individuals, 8RR4 and 55U0 were thrown out of the warehouse, with the door locked. They proceeded to wait until night time, when everyone began to leave, including 0010. Then, both being hidden, 8RR4 and 55U0 opened the warehouse door lock using infra-red unlockers, and locked all accesses to the outside using code locks, then they proceeded to destroy any signs that there ever was a Dance club in this warehouse, and then they proceeded to re-assemble the Drak-Daakian body then power it with a generator based on fusion technology.

55U0 – "He'll be done soon, in 4 of these KRE "hours" or whatever."
8RR4 – "My clueless ancestor!" *Hugs him*

8RR4 hugged him tight, showing her loyalty to her ancestor. She didn't care about morals, all she wanted was to live happily. 55U0 felt something in her, he had an ally. A valuable one he didn't want to lose. No servant he ever had was as loyal as she was. He waited for the Drak-Daakian mechanical body to power up. 1 hour later, someone knocked on the warehouse door. It was 0010, angry.

0010 – "I knew I shouldn't have left the door unguarded! I'll call the AIs!"

The AIs are the police of Hakonian worlds. They are grey orbs who can shoot powerful lasers and sap the energy out of Hakonian mechanics. They are feared by modern day criminals, however, 55U0 never heard of them.

55U0 – "What are Ais going to do? Torture me? I'll torture them!"
8RR4 – "Ancestor, I think he means the anti-criminal force."
55U0 – "Whatever. When I get my Drak-Daaki-"
8RR4 – "They can foil our plans! They sap energy from us, like they did to you 250 years ago!"

55U0 then approached the warehouse door, with a gun. 8RR4 told him to avoid firing at him, since that triggers an investigation by the AIs. However, his gun was something else, and he told 8RR4 not to worry. He opened the wide garage-like door, and while 0010 was shocked at how his dance club was dealt with, he shot a paralyzer, which caused 0010's biological self to stop moving, so he was struggling to get up. He could not speak either, and he won't be able to for the next 2 HKH1 days.

3 hours have passed and dawn commenced on this cold world. The sun may be shining, but it was still -4º C in the air. Hakonians chose cold planets to colonize so that their mechanical parts would not overheat. However, their biological selves would feel the cold.

8RR4 – "Ancestor? The Machine is done, turn on, ancestor! Password…"

The password she used to activate 55U0 was a series of lights in her palm of her hand. They make up the Hakonian mechanic letters, which have no equivalent to the Hakonian Alphabet. Once she was done, she woke him up once again.

55U0 – "Is it done?"
8RR4 – "Yes. It's ready."

Both then walked towards the Drak-Daakian. It was Black and grey in color, with red lights. 6 legs, many horns in its back, 20m long, 2 pairs of wings, and a bird-beaked mouth which can roar. In its stomach was a door, which 55U0 opened, to reveal 2 seats on the door, which both sat on. Then 55U0 pulled a lever, which pulled the door back to its closing position.

A screen could be seen that covered their surroundings. It was a 360º screen, perfect for spotting all kinds of enemies. Both their minds could control the Drak-Daakian. Perfect because 2 minds are better than 1. 55U0 made the Drak-Daakian go into Humanoid stance, crusing the warehouse and frightening whoever was near, including 0010, who saw his dance club destroyed.

It then started to destroy buildings, some long pyramid shaped, others shaped like human buildings, which were the cheapest. 9IQ9 was about to face a deadly enemy…

In Terrida, capital of the United Terridor Federation and the Federation's most prized posession, 1V407 was in a meeting with the Iteok Khereg's leader, Toragh 9, who was wearing a suit to protect him from diseases, in the Karzemeia skytower's last floor, which was 24 Km tall. From there the roundness of Terrida could be seen.

The building's width and height was 8 times larger than the regular buildings, and was the 2nd tallest building in the Terridor Federation, the first being T3R1's Ano Building, being a 26 Km tall true pyramid building that could be considered its own city. The tower had a lot of powerful lasers designed to defend the tower, as if it fell, it could destroy an entire city and kill tens of Millions.

1V407 and Toragh 9 were speaking about mutual aid since the Ahevox Empire threatened the Iteok Khereg because the Ahevox wanted to become one of the Major 4 races of the Kraw Galaxy. The Ahevox were more powerful and smarter, but had no allies. However, while they were almost agreeing on something, 1V407 got a mental message: A "Vyzu" was destroying 9IQ9, HKH1. 1V407 responded mentally to send the AIs.

At that same instant, the Drak-Daakian was attacked by hundreds of AI orbs, however, with a large EMP blast, these AIs were killed and hundreds of Hakonians died around them. 8RR4 was impressed, though worried, while 55U0 only cared about the core. Thus, the Drak-Daakian started its digging mode. The Drak-Daakian's head and arms shapeshifted mechanically into drillers, and started drilling, while disintegrator lasers did more of the work. Then its thrusters were activated. Now it was travelling at 250 Km/h, and would reach the core within a few hours.

1V407 saw the event in his mind. He realize if the core was tampered with, it could mean the end for 1.9 Billion people living on planet HKH1. He then finished his meeting quickly, then he ran towards the emergency meeting room. In the room were simply 2 famous characters in the Terridor Federation - Diplomat 5HU1U7 and Commander 4TH01, both eager to listen to the emperor.

The emperor prepared a video to transmit to their minds. It told a story…

"253 years ago, a man known as 55U0 made a pact with the Daak-Daakians after crashing on an ice planet and destroying one of its people's underground cities, allowing the Daak-Daakians to bully them. He was given a Drak-Daakian body, and a mission, power it further with the core's energy, so that it can be rebuilt and destroy the Hakonians. All part of Emperor Krolego's plan. You've seen the mechanic Drak-Daakians, but don't mix up with Daak-Daakians, the sapients of that empire. Daak Daakians are snake-like 2 armed beings with some of the oddest spines I ever seen. They are extremely spiky, possibly for sexual display."

4TH01 – "How old was he again?"
1V407 – "283 years old, theoretically 33. He fully mechanized himself 1 year before he was arrested and then shut down and had his memories erased. How stupid were we of closing that prison with the prisioners still there!"
4TH01 – "And how old is Krolego?"
5HU1U7 – "Uhhhh… yeah… he's doing this for nothing."
1V407 – "Why?"
5HU1U7 – "The highest lifespan ever recorded for a Daak-Daakian was Lohýj's lifespan of 216. Krolego should be dead by now!"
4TH01 – "Meaning he doesn't know he's dead, so he is still living his illusion of becoming the leader of the Daak-Daakians… Meaning that one message from the Daak-Daakians to 55U0 will cause him to cease these actions!"
1V407 – "Why not blow him up?"
4TH01 – "And risk the core?"

The team then prepared to go to the Daak-Daakian empire, officially called the Kolzakian Daak Rulership, named after its current emperor, Kol'zaq. (Transliteration into Kraw Universal: Kolzak) They prepared massive forces to keep them out of the core, which arrived at HKH1 shortly. Meanwhile, 55U0 and 8RR4 talked to each other.

55U0 – "Half way there."
8RR4 – "Can't wait. Oh wait, won't we roast in the core?"
55U0 – "The Drak-Daakian deflects heat. If it didn't, we'd be dead by now."
8RR4 – "Oh. That's cool."
55U0 - "Yes, what's cooler is that the throne will be ours soon after we take the core, then rebuild the Drak-Daakian and destroy the Hako Empire."
8RR4 – "I'm not sure… it's our people… but they don't care about me… my feelings or the fact I'm abandoned. So frak them, let's do it."
55U0 – "Nobody cares about you but me. You are my favorite-"

The Drak-Daakian stopped.

55U0 – *Attempting to get it to work* "What the heck? It should be easy to drill at this point!"
8RR4 – "Behind you!"

A green cable made of some kind of superior metal could be seen from behind on their screens. It then started to pull them up, despite the Drak-Daakian's attempts at trying to cut the rope, which failed, as that metal was twice as strong as diamond. The rope was fired almost at 5 times the speed of sound through a large machine by the HKH1 defense force. 30 minutes later, they brought the Drak-Daakian to the surface.

4TH01 – "Surrender or be destroyed."
Officer G4RT – "We have you surrounded."
8RR4 – "What do we do?"
55U0 – "Watch me."

The Drak-Daakian morphed again to its humanoid form. There, it removed the cable with one of his arms. There, many other cables were fired at the Drak-Daakian by the Defense force, but the Drak-Daakian activated an EMP blast which caught everyone by surprise, killing 154 Hakonians and injuring 27 more, including 4TH01 and G4RT. The Drak-Daakian proceeded to roar, and then he started fighting the hordes of 20m tall mechas sent by the defense force. 4TH01 and G4RT laid on the floor, watching everything, while trying to get up.

G4RT – "250 years and he's still strong!"
4TH01 – "Haven't faced someone this strong since my early days as a soldier… 6 months of virtual training, my brother, 5HU1U7, always trying to get me to quit… pawn moments compared to fighting such a strong foe."
G4RT – *Gets up* "I vowed to then emperor Valxarx in 400 KRE that I could beat any foe, and we can do this! Look, there's a weakness right there! A plasma power generator in his rear!"

The generator kept the Drak-Daakian charged up during fights, however, if it was destroyed, the Drak-Daakian would only have less than 6 hours of power left until it shuts down. They took this as an advantage in the fight, and thus 4TH01, now standing again, and G4RT began to run towards the arsenal, which was 440m away.

The Drak-Daakian kept fighting the mechas he encountered, destroying them one by one with its incredible strength. At one point, it was fighting 3 of them at the same time, however, it ripped one apart in 2 with its bare arms and threw the pieces at the heads of the other 2 mechas, destroying their heads… and their pilots.

In the meanwhile, 5HU1U7, with the Terridor Federation's Faster Than Light (FTL) technology, flying on his tri-arrow shaped ship of Shargashian origin, went to planet Ta'ku, capital of the Daak-Daakians. He was contacted immediately by Kol'zaq, emperor of the Daak-Daakians, who also spoke Kraw Universal, the language of the Kraw Galaxy. He was sitting in a red and orange throne in a room of the same colors, and the throne was full of minerals, something Daak-Daakians always loved. Daak-Daakians were short however, being only 1.43m tall average, the emperor being 1.39m tall. He spoke.

Kol'zaq – "State your purpose."
5HU1U7 – "We are from the Terridor Federation. One of your old servants, 55U0 from the Ex-Hako Empire is attacking one of our empire's worlds with a Drak-Daakian!"
Kol'zaq – "I remember no such servant."
5HU1U7 – "He is 283 years old and used to serve Krolego."
Kol'zaq – "My predecessor? Oh yes, he hired several to destroy the empires that annoyed him the most, let me look him up."

Since the Daak-Daakians had no internet nor digital databases, he had to look everything up from scrolls. He found what he wanted.

Kol'zaq – "He was arrested in 155, (KRE) right?"
5HU1U7 – "Yes."
Kol'zaq – "And he still believes Krolego is alive and that he has a place for him in the throne? Pathetic. Krolego was a liar."
5HU1U7 – "A liar?"
Kol'zaq – "Yes. After one did his task he'd obliterate him. I have video proof."
5HU1U7 – "So you have no digital databases nor computers but you have video?"
Kol'zaq – "We banned computers. They were making our citizens lazy. Anyways, Krolego wanted to stay in the throne forever, and wouldn't want to give it to anyone else. So he destroyed the contenders for the throne. We must warn 55U0 of this and destroy the Drak-Daakian. Then, peace will be restored."
5HU1U7 – "Will you come with us?"
Kol'zaq – "Yes, of course."

After 5HU1U7 learned of Krolego's deceits, it was time for both people to enter 5HU1U7's ship and travel to HKH1 as soon as possible, to avoid the destruction of the planet. Meanwhile, 4TH01 and G4RT had a lot of weapons so that they could attempt to weaken the Drak-Daakian.

4TH01 was about to use missiles, but G4RT stopped 4TH01 from firing any, since if the shot failed, the Drak-Daakian would know of the threat. Instead, a plan to overload the generator was prepared. A heat laser was perfect for the job. G4RT ordered his mechas to try and restrain the Drak-Daakian. 5 Mechas suddenly grab his arms and his head. Then, 4TH01 fired his laser at the generator in the Drak-Daakian's rear. It was slowly overheating, the generator getting red instead of blue.

55U0 – "Why the heck are they-"
8RR4 - *Notices 4TH01 and G4RT, nervously* "Master, will we blow up if the generator…"
55U0 – *Looking, with a state of shock* "What the Hahek???" (Hahek = Virus in Old Hakonian)

The generator explodes with red flares. Suddenly the Drak-Daakian roared, and with enormous strength, lifted the 2 mechas holding his left arm and smashed them against the other 3 mechas from left to right. It then proceeded to fire a laser protruding from its back towards the hole the Drak-Daakian dug earlier to the core. The laser dug even further, faster than when the Drak-Daakian was digging, and hit the core, causing a global minor earthquake.

G4RT – "Listen up, you'll kill us all!"
55U0 – "Frak you. I will become emperor of the Daak Rulership!"
4TH01 – "Don't you care about the lives of your own frakking people???"
55U0 – "I couldn't care less."

The Drak-Daakian then jumped towards the hole to the core. But 8RR4 felt something weird. She felt a bit sick, and she found out she was turning transparent.

8RR4 – "What's going on???"
55U0 – "Servant!"
??? – "The misunderstood girl's coming with us."

8RR4 then vanished, without a trace. 55U0 was angered, and 1/3 of the way into the core.

55U0 – "Give her back!"
??? ¬– "Listen to my words first."
55U0 – "No matter, your planet is toast."
??? – "She's the only one who truly cared about you. Would you risk her for some foolish action?"

He then had thoughts. He liked her, though he wanted the throne of the Daak Rulership. He didn't want to kill her, however, that would risk the Drak-Daakian. He made a crazy choice. He pulled the lever next to his chair and ejected himself from the Drak-Daakian. He was now freefalling towards the core at a progressively higher speed. He would rather die than lose the throne or lose his servant. However, he was too teleported the same way as 8RR4 was. He arrived to the surface, close to the hole. A Daak-Daakian greeted him. He was the Emperor, Emperor Kol'zaq. Suddenly another minor earthquake could be heard. The Drak-Daakian met its fate and was destroyed in the core.

55U0 – "My destiny was thwarted again… I'll kill whoever did this!!!"
8RR4 – "Master…  Krolego's dead, this is his sucessor. Krolego died 177 years ago. Also… look at the tower… There's something you'll want to see."

She laser-pointed at the screen in a tower near the hole to the core. It showed Krolego, and the video dated 1 year after 55U0 was captured.

Krolego – "Good, servant… servant Apirezu of the Terridans… Now… you die."

He pointed a poison light crossbow at the Terridan, though it was shaped like a gun.

Apirezu – "This is a joke, right?"
Krolego – "You've been deceived. There is no throne. Now, your life ends."

The Terridan was shot in the head, and dead. 55U0 had no words to describe this. 8RR4 walked slowly to 55U0 and put her hand over his shoulder. She whispered mentally:

8RR4 – "Listen, the bad guys turned you evil, but now we can live regular lives again… Like we used to…"
55U0 – "They'll arrest us…"
4TH01 – "If it wasn't for your past before you met this demon called Krolego, I'd have you deactivated for good for the 2nd time. However, there is good in you. Thus, you'll have a job as a leader, though of a small Asteroid colony. And that's as high as you will ever get for digging a frakking hole to the core we now have to seal up before it forms a volcano! HKH1 was nearly destroyed!"
1V407 – "Small price to pay. Think of this as prison for the innocent criminal. You'll be forced to live in that rock for the rest of your lives, leading some of the most incompetent people in the Federation who were locked up in that asteroid colony."
8RR4 – "I don't care. I still have my leader."
55U0 – "I don't care. At least I have her and something I control."

15 days later, in the asteroid colony of Twyto, a small white round base on the surface of the asteroid with a population of 200 people who are all below the IQ of 86, the two leaders of the colony have assigned basic jobs of survival. Some picked the meat from animals. Some cleaned up the mess the others made. Some do maintenance, all thanks to 55U0's mental "Guide to jobs here" he transferred onto the others's minds using a mind machine, seeing as all 200 people there were either Terridan or Shargashian. He could not mind read them or upload anything into them mentally, however, he had his own ways of dealing with things. After that part was done, it was time to see 8RR4 once again.

55U0 – "The mind machine worked again."
8RR4 – "Cool. Still, I miss my old life, as a cool girl. But anyways, we can always party here with holograms, next best thing!"
55U0 – "May we live together, now and forever, us."

They could handle asteroid life fine. Television was still available to them. And hopefully newer generations of smarter people would appear on the asteroid. In 9IQ9, in planet HKH1, repairs are now finished on the city. A volcano was nearly formed, but the hole covers did their job, and stopped the flow of the lava, however, the city remained a danger zone, something that will stick with this city for the rest of its time. 4TH01 and 5HU1U7 continued discussions with the Iteok Emperor again, after things were interrupted by this battle of ages.

The doctor 8099WW never saw 55U0 on 19 Uninaar, but upon watching the news he understood why, and proceeded to cure more people from amnesia, though he was more careful this time. The sound creator 0010 opened a new dance club in west QAA9, the neighbouring city to 9IQ9. At least it was not been earlier taken by villains this time. He would later become famous in the city.

G4RT returned to his job when a gang of Shargash criminals threatened the small town of CDCA, in T3R1. They were arrested for a long time afterwards. 1V407 and Kol'zaq met in planet Ta'ku, standing in front of Krolego's grave. Kol'zaq was 201 years old, and he knew his grave was about to be dug. The grave was filled with minerals in a red large marble tombstone, though there was no body underneath – The body was burned. Only the monument remains. 1V407 and Kol'zaq talked about the past and the future.

Kol'zaq – "Sorry about what happened. Krolego was our worst emperor yet."
1V407 – "That's ok. No damage was done. Though, is there anyone else Krolego hired and is now in a coma or deactivated?"
Kol'zaq – "I don't know, we seen 169 people he hired, but there are a total of 178 people he hired, and we are yet to know if these 9 people are causing havoc."
1V407 – "You'll find them. Either they're dead or needing capture."
Kol'zaq – "We know there's a fully mechanized Kraw he hired, shall we go there and warn the planet of Iota Aparegia?"
1V407 – "We must. Otherwise he may damage the planet in the name of Krolego."

They both went to planet Iota Aparegia in search of that Kraw who was hired by Krolego.
1V407 thought that getting the last 9 people was hard, though Kol'zaq was confident, even though he was a bicentenarian and was nearly in his death age. He already appointed a sucessor, detective Okre from the suburbs of Taq, in Ta'ku. He thought he had the skills he needed to become emperor, though Okre did not know about him being successor yet. It won't be long until the Kolzakian Daak Rulership became the Okrian Daak Rulership. It is not known whether Okre will resume the quest for the last 9 Krolego servants, as it is not know if Kol'zaq will be alive by the time all 9 are captured. Only one thing Kol'zaq had in his mind. He will succeed in truly ending the age of Krolego.
