They all nodded.
Boss Man opened the portal on his own belt. If anyone remembers the work DoomRater performed at the Carrington Institute, Grimshaw and Foster both helped DoomRater gather enough data on the time traveling device to clone it. And a good thing too, seeing that DoomRater would need the device back if he ever...
Hold on a minute, Boss Man corrected himself. DoomRater wasn't coming back! He had been executed, and no one was to revive him!
No matter to him. The newest member was definitely going to welcome being in the Elite, even if he would have to face many of his wives in other dimensions.
Now the world opened to them as they slipped into... the Zelda world.
Landing outside of Lon Lon Ranch, the group readied their weapons, not knowing that Lon Lon Ranch was a safe haven for Hylians...
The members had no clue where to go. They only knew that Drakketh was living in the Forest Temple at the moment. Without maps, they would end up searching for hours!
Boss Man remembered. There were maps on the belt! He instucted the others to do the same, and the maps were recalled.
"Head south," Boss Man instructed them. "We need to find the Forest Temple in Kokiri Village soon. Those doubles will be likely to find worlds and mess with them in inappropriate ways..."
-------------------
Drakketh stared in disblief. He began to question his own actions. 'What the hell did I just do?!' he wondered.
DoomRater told him the story of his past, his bloody past. All the acts of genocide he commited, and why he was executed.
Drakketh just couldn't believe it. How could someone so good have done something so evil?
He began to hate DoomRater. Anger seethed through his veins as he thought of hurting DoomRater over and over again...
"If you must kill me," DoomRater spoke out loud, "do it now, Drakketh. I want this to be over..."
Drakketh realized an important memory. He knew how much Saria liked DoomRater, and he couldn't stand to see her cry over his death. DoomRater was that important.
But how could he forgive a murderer? How could anyone ever think of trusting a known killer again? How would Saria...
No. Drakketh felt that he must keep this one secret from her. If DoomRater wished to tel her, he could not refuse, but... he would not tell her anything about this.
That was the beginning of his forgiveness...
--------------------
A few questions later, Boss Man and his group were instructed to go to the Lost Woods to find Saria. She'd know where Drakketh was at the moment, as always. Their marriage was no secret to anyone, not even the Skull Kids.
Boss Man knew that. He also knew the fact that Drakketh would do anything to make Saria happy, even...
For the first time, Boss Man realized that DoomRater had a back-up plan. Drakketh would have revived him and kept Saria happy! In no way would he ever let Saria cry over the death of DoomRater, even if it meant sacrificing his own life to do it!
"Chief?" he asked.
"Yeah?"
"I have reason to believe DoomRater's alive..."
--------------------
A few knocks on the door, and Drakketh answered it. "Hallo, and who are you guys?"
"We're the members of the Elite, minus one member."
"Oh yeah, he told me all about why he was slaughtered and stuff..."
Whitney gasped. Never in her wildest dreams did he ever consider bringing him back to life against his wishes! She knew that DoomRater was mad at him for performing such an act...
But more anger was present in Drakketh's eyes. That was clear to everyone.
"Can you believe he was such a maniac?"
"Forgive me for saying," Boss Man told him, "but... we protected him for that length of time. Ever since he's been in the Elite, we have hidden it for him."
Drakketh didn't speak.
"Futhermore... we need a new member. It's quite clear that DoomRater is not fit to lead this army yet. So for the time being, I'm the leader. But enough of that. I'd be honored if you would become a member of the Elite. You magic would be more than valuable to us, and you'd make a great utility man!"
Drakketh thought about it. "But how can I become a member now that I'm married? And why would I want to join a conspiracy?"
"Forget that rule," Boss Man spoke. "I'm going to allow you to join even if you're married! And to save magic, if you become a member, we have a belt designed for you."
Drakketh had to think it over. Would he become part of a conspiracy?
Wait. He already was. He was just as guilty as each person on that team. It happened when he decided to hide it from Saria...
"Alright," Drakketh told him. "Count me in."
