A few days later, as I was passing by the computer room, I heard Naugus cheer. "Yesss! Yesss!" He snapped his fingers, and the King appeared in front of him. "You Majesty," he said. "We are going home."
"Excellent Naugus!" The King had no idea what Naugus really had in store, the trusting fool. "I cannot wait to be reunited with Sally."
"Er, yes" said Naugus slowly. I was about to walk away. "Oh Doctor?" called Naugus.
"Yes Naugus," I replied as I entered the room.
"You are returning with us."
"But-" I began.
"The King has insisted," he replied.
"You must be brought to justice Julian!" King Acorn cried. "I will not allow you to roam freely-"
"Your Majesty," Naugus interrupted. "Calm yourself. Perhaps you should go lay down until we are ready."
"You are night Naugus," said the King. The King shot me a treacherous look as he left the room.
After King Acorn was safely out of sight and earshot, I turned to Naugus.
"What is the real reason for my return?" I asked.
"I have found, that in order to overthrow the freedom fighters, that I will need your services Doctor."
"So Snively won't cut it," I said smirking.
"No," said Naugus in a haunted voice. "But, you will be under my complete control Doctor. You are my lackey."
"Why how dare-"
Suddenly I was an octopus. Naugus snapped his fingers again and I began thrashing and sliding around on the ground. He turned me back.
"Any more protests, Doctor?"
"No," I muttered. Without my microcomputer and rocket boosters, I was no match for Naugus, for his magic could react faster that I could snap his neck with my robotic arm.
