confused but ignores it to get through the gate into the Zeskaya room. He sees Eric target a Zeskaya he recognizes as Rule Breaker who admits the transporting then Eric gets restrained into the chair which Leader sits and eyes Eric who appears to snooze which he puts on his mask then wakes up looking calm and hears Seer mention something about Eric’s family due to needing to admit it which he admits that Dictator is his father and sees Eric is not surprised by it but orders Eric to go home which he watches him leave. He frowns as another Eric appears in a flash of light minus a jacket who says that he was taken out of being a battery by Rakcar who told him to go through the gate and he sensed something like a bomb placed on his back found himself some where else which he yanked off his jacket then found himself here. He listens as Divine One explains that according to files there’s someone called Zerra who’s similar to Terrania’s Merra identified as a mind walker and that if she talks all the Rakcar can hear her and would destroy her if she said anything due to the Rakcar want her to be quiet and not talk at all. He hears Seer cryptically tell him to switch places with Rule Breaker due to seeing something suspicious which he obeys and eyes the gate to see Eric come out with anger on his face that flashes a weapon which he realizes is Dictator his father and sees Rule Breaker get stabbed in the chest followed by the girls and males of Eric capture Dictator to put him in a chair and watches his father appear to fall asleep still radiating of anger. He continues to eye Dictator who dreams of Jon the Humanian who gives a full summary of what happened to the Zeskaya after he was overthrown and mentions having an idea of having a Zeskaya hooked up in a copy of Eric’s place to gain control of the planet’s defense weapons to fire it onto the planet something he was working on but couldn’t access and thinks a Zeskaya will have full access to that. Dictator doesn’t say a word wakes up still angry frees himself and darts through the gate which Leader orders Zeskaya to let him go seeing that Dictator is in a bad mood and not willing to talk. Leader doesn’t wait long as Dictator arrive looking calm that scold him for dumping him in Terrania and doesn’t find it amusing. Leader doesn’t comment but sees Dictator look up as if confused then disappears in a flash of light. He hears Divine One say that it’s Zerra doing it due to that Merra could transport people place to place and that’s a method she used. He doesn’t comment figures its best to keep his mouth shut. Dictator wounds up finding himself in a jail cell with another Zeskaya there and hears from the Zeskaya that their in King Winter’s castle and that the male has Rakcaran eyes and has made it clear to him that he’ll find their meeting spot and will reveal it to others. Dictator doesn’t comment sees King Winter and watches as the male opens the gate by mental power and figures that he’ll have to kill King Winter due to his nosiness and influence of Rakcaran instincts speeds out sword out and cuts King Winter’s arms then cuts off his head which he hears from the Zeskaya that he’ll take the King Winter crown due to that he’ll keep it out of the Rakcar’s hands. Dictator speaks that he better keep it safe and hears a humming sound figures it’s a gate travels to a cave and spots the gate then spots whirling small tornadoes heading towards him runs to the gate throwing himself halfway through it and finds himself in the Zeskaya room demanding them to help as he finds his legs are caught by something keeping him from pulling into the room and finds himself yanked through the gate and sees the whirling tornados along with feeling a prick of pain in his neck passes out unconscious. Leader demands to Seer why they couldn’t help Dictator as requested which Seer says that Dictator would be cut in half if they helped him due to someone caught his legs and that the gate would do the cutting. Leader doesn’t find it amusing as Seer doesn’t say much. Dictator wakes up in a chair in a familiar throne room facing the Rakcar’s pharaoh and sees whirling tornadoes in the room which one turn into a Rakcar and recalls his capture by his sons seeing them appear from whirling tornado forms grabbing him on the arms and hitting him on the head with their weapons and making him woozy enough to not fight back which they hauled him to a gate and threw him in it. He listens as the Pharaoh orders the Rakcar to keep him alive due to recognizing him as an exiled Mesan’s Curse who used to lead the Mesan’s Curse but was tossed out of position and according to records disappeared through a gate by them. He gets freed dismissed by the Pharaoh travels around exploring the palace and city seeing things are different from before and recalls every word of Jon the Humanian’s conversation in his mind. Leader gets warned that he’ll get captured, by Seer ignores the warning to travel out to among the city and finds Dictator, shows his form and gets knocked out unconscious. Dictator removes Leader’s mask and keeps it on his person then convinces the Rakcar appearing around him to hook Leader up as a battery due to that the Mesan’s Curse admitted to taking out a battery and destroying it. Rakcar obey to his suggestion which he tags along and witnesses them doing it which he meets the Samol hanging around after Rakcar hook up Leader which he senses are wearing tech like the Rakcar are wearing due to them appearing as whirling tornadoes and appearing with whining squeal sounds. He doesn’t comment eyes Leader to see his son’s eyes open with some expression of anger forming on the face. Leader comes to finding himself on a dry arid field meets Jon the Humanian who tells him that he’s hooked up as a battery in place of an Eric dubbed Divine One. Leader growls an angry sound as Jon cuts off his talk which he sees as if knowing it the reason why Zerra would transport Zeskaya out who look up while in the room is that because the room is underneath the throne room and Zerra doesn’t want Zeskaya to know of it. He realizes while staring at the ground that he can access the planet’s defense systems and that Jon ordered Dictator to allow a Zeskaya to be captured and put in place as a battery just to gain access to them. Dick falls asleep in the room dreams of Jon and Leader witnesses Jon tell Leader of the hook up and sees Leader look away with some far away expression on his face that changes to anger which Jon appears in his eyes sight telling him to tell the others that Leader is hooked up in place. Dick obeys telling the Zeskaya in carefully worded sentences of the hook up which Zeskaya aren’t happy hearing till Divine One screams out a nonsense sound and yells that when he was hooked up he tried to access the planet’s defense systems but couldn’t and senses that Leader can access them. He hears from Seer speaking that he mentioned having a vision of seeing multiple eaters all over the place in Rakcara and sees the planet’s weapons firing on the planet including taking down warships regardless their a planet killer or not. Dictator goes to the doorway to stare at the sky and continues to stare at it ignoring the Samol asking him why he’s doing it. He doesn’t comment as he goes back inside to Leader and stares at his son still displaying that angry expression on his face. Leader gain control of the planet’s defense weapons fires it at the planet hitting targets he sees through computer are important to the Rakcar and continues to fire the weapons while taking out Rakcaran warships in the process. Dictator in the room hears explosion sounds sounding from outside goes to the doorway with the Samol to spot multiple eaters along with seeing some eater bolts firing from above hitting places in the city which he hears a Samol comment that they better do what it takes to protect that Mesan’s Curse hooked up for he’s responsible for the situation happening at the moment. Dictator senses Samol gone inside continues to stand in the doorway staring at the city watching places explode in eaters and continues to watch eater balls from the sky hitting making eaters in its place at the buildings. He sees whirling tornadoes heading towards him folds his arms and stares at one while seeing it come nearer and nearer which the tornadoes stop along with one appearing to be a Rakcar that speaks that this Mesan’s Curse can see them hidden due to that he was staring at one in the eyes. Dictator decides to lie to the Rakcar speaks a sarcastic comment to the Rakcar that he’s not the only one who can see them and that the Mesan’s Curse is hidden in the room protecting the battery and will do what it takes to keep him hooked up along with destroying the Rakcar in the process if they try to take him out. Dictator sees a whirling tornado come from behind him heading towards
the appeared Rakcar and watches as the Rakcar gives off a comment saying that the Mesan’s Curse is lying about this but cuts off his talk as he is abruptly lifted up and thrown in the air backwards and sees the Rakcar’s head smash into pieces along with body shriveling up to liquid turning into dirt. Dictator speaks eyeing the tornadoes what that Rakcar talking about he just proved it by having a Mesan’s Curse attack him and wants to know what the Rakcar will plan to do about it as he eyes the familiar whirling tornado go to stand next to him hearing a growling sound of a Samol along with other growling sounds of other Samol eyes the whirling tornadoes in front of him he assumes are Rakcar to see some of them dart away while others dart towards him which he yells out commands to the Samol telling them the Rakcar’s locations and watches the Samol take down the Rakcar seeing them all appear after being knocked to the ground and bodies become flatter with liquid pouring out along
