Bob rides to the monzaic lines , when he reached the gates kept by two giant Mudokon statues. Without paying any attention to the guards, he entered and ride directly to Sam's throne room.

"What's that?" said one of the royal counselers.

"Mother! Mother, we better go away from here right now!" said Bob the big face.

"What's wrong my child?" said the beloved mother.

"I am the big face, and the almighty raisin send me to warn you about the industrialists, all that they want is slave us!"

"But, mister Molluck was so kind."

"No, he's a lier! He've built a dozen of factories across the land."

"That's enough!" said a mudokon standing at the right of the queen. He was dressed with big featers and he had big war paints on his body. "It's not a manner way to talk to your mother."

All the members of the royal counsel were talking about him.

"Maybe you're the big face, but I'm higher than you in the hierarchy, I am the Shrykull."

"The...the Shrykull?" said Bob intimidated by his brother. "You mean, the one that have been chosen to be the guardian of the Mudokon people?"

"Yes. The last big face gave me the power of the Srykull, if he would be here today, he would'nt be against the industrialists. You're not the big face!"

"No! You don't understand! The Glukkons are our ennemies, they'll lead us to the chaos and the end of our people! They just killed all the Mudokons of the city of Necrum!"

"You...you lie!" said the Shrykull. "Why would they do this?"

"They're using the Necrum burial ground to desecrate our ancestors bones to put them in the Soulstorm brew to drunk and slave us!"

"Thi...this can't be..." said the Shrykull confused as the great queen cried in memory of his beloved children. Suddenly, an earthquake started. "What's that means?"

As the Shrykull and Bob leaves the throne room to see what's happening, they saw something they'll never forget. An army of strange creatures in armors, with long arms and fingers, armed with strange weapons that kill without any blade or arrow. They saw all their friends brothers by those demons.

"But... who are they?" said Bob. "They're not Sligs or Glukkons, from where they came from?"

Bob did'nt saw that the Shrykull was helping his brothers to go to a safe place.

"Go to the monzaic sanctum! Hurry!" The monzaic lines was only populated by monks and priest, there was no weapons, including no hunt tools, nothing to defend themselves. It was defenitively an unequal battle. "They're giving me any choice, I'll have to use bird portals."

"What's a bird portal?" said Bob.

"You're supposed to be the Big face, and you did'nt know what's a bird portal?"

"Huh, no."

"Watch this." Then, the Shrykull started to chant, and a circle of birds turns into a strange light vortex where all the Mudokons jumped. "Now, they're into a safe place." While he helped the Mudokons to enter into the monzaic sanctum, the strange creatures enters into the throne room. "Oh no! Mom!"

When Bob and the Srykull entered inside the throne room, they saw all the members of the royal counsel shotted by their strange weapons as the Mudokon queen tried to defend herself by smashing these demons with her massive hands. Becose of his big abdomen, that was pretty though for her. Strangely, they did'nt tried to shot her like if they did'nt want to kill her.

"Hey you! Keep your dirty hands away from our mother!" said the brave warrior. When they tried to shot them they had just the time to hide themselves behind a rock. "Wow, that was close."

Suddenly, the room's ceiling falls upon the floor. That was an enormous U.F.O. standing in the sky.

"What is that thing?" said Bob.

Small flying ships descends from the biggest and tied the queen to raise her up and took her inside. She continued to layed eggs that fell on the ground. That was an horrible show.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! You won't take my MOTHER!!!!!!" said the Shrykull before he turned into an half Scrab and half Paramite creature, shooting thunders everywhere that killed all the invaders. In spite of all his efforts, he couldn't save the queen. As he turned back to normal, he fell on his knees, hitted the ground and started to cry: "That was my duty to protect my queen. (sob) That was my only duty in I failed."

"D...don't worry Shrykull." said Bob. "You've protect the innocents and that's good. Now that you saw that the industrials are bad, we can bring her back if we combine our efforts to save the Mudokon race."

The Shrykull raise up and said: "I...I heard you. I was wrong. You're the big face." When he heard that, Bob was a little touched. "Well, what's you're plan...big face?"

"First of all, we better go back to the Mudokon fortress, where all the villages chiefs are waiting for us. Our priority now is to take down the Glukkons first."

"What do you think that thing was?"

"I don't know, but something is sure, they are ennemies."

Sam, the Mudokon queen, was conducted into a very dark place with strange white light that came from white sticks fixed on the ceiling. When a strange machine started to talk to her.

"Hello your majesty, welcome to your new home."

"W...what do you want from me?" said the recently captive and chained queen.

"Your eggs of course."

"Who...who are you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry but I can't talk to you about my superiors but...you can call me; Shrink."
