"Well, today certainly has been hectic," said Jack.
"I know," replied Toroko, "a frenzied Mimiga running amok in Grasstown, and then Humans landing on the island!"
"What's next?" King said wearily.
Just then Jack let out a frightened yelp. The other two followed his gaze and stared in shock at the dead body of Toroko's older brother, Arthur.
"I just had to ask, didn't I?" said King shakily.
Now that The Doctor had taken care of the dead Mimiga, he promptly got down to business. He sealed the door of the house shut, and disconnected the teleporter, lest anyone should find him. Conveniently, there was a patch of earth in the basement where he could begin growing the Red Flowers. His goal was to find the Demon Crown. He knew he had been extremely lucky that it had been so easy for him to get his hands on the Red Flowers, and that finding the Demon Crown would probably not be so easy. He had a plan, though. And once he had found the Demon Crown, the rest would be child's play.
Using the crown's power, he could easily enslave all of the island's inhabitants. He would then force them to grow massive quantities of Red Flowers. Once there were enough flowers, he would force the Mimigas to eat the flowers (after sealing them each in individual chambers from which they couldn't escape, of course). And then, then the real fun would begin. He would maneuver the island so that it was heading quickly toward some huge metropolis. He would then destroy the island's Core, timing it so that the island would land right on the metropolis, like the fist of God descending from above. Finally, he would unleash the frenzied Mimigas upon the Earth, in a day that would mark the beginning of his total world domination! Oh, how glorious it will be!!
But for the time being, he had a lot of work to do. He pulled out his suitcase. Computers were his area of expertise, and his suitcase contained a large quantity of spare computer parts. In a few days, using these parts, as well as some structural materials he cannibalized from various places around the island, he had built an array of 20 armed scout robots. He was quite impressed with himself for having been able to build them so well, considering his short supply of time and resources. He had also made a device which allowed him to communicate with the robots at a distance. He had named all of the robots after punctuation, so that their names could be displayed as a single character on the device (or as two characters, in the case of the four female robots: Parenthese, Angle Bracket, Square Bracket, and Curly Brace).
He then sent the robots off in search of the Demon Crown, giving each of them a Red Flower. He wasn't sure if the Flowers worked on robots, but he had programmed the robots to eat the Flowers if they needed extra strength, just in case they might work. He sent four robots to each of the five locations that the teleporter in the house linked to. To the Egg Corridor, he sent Semicolon, Angle Bracket, Plus, and Backslash. To Grasstown, he sent Parenthese, Asterisk, Equals, and Comma. To the Sand Zone, he sent Hyphen, Slash, Period, and Percent. To the Labyrinth he sent Question Mark, Colon, Exclaimation Point, and Ampersand. And finally, to the Plantation, he sent Apostraphe, Quote, Square Bracket, and Curly Brace.
