All throughout the Fright Zone everyone was in a panic about the strange object that had crashed in the central of their territory. Some people believed that the object that was some kind of First Ones's tech, while a few others believed it was some kind of part of a punishment from a higher power. Whatever it was a vast majority of the population stayed clear of the object, though curiosity was getting the better of some of the citizens.
Inside the ship H626 was pondering his next move. H626 was completely and utterly alone on this strange planet. He no longer felt a connection to the hive mind and he couldn't get in contact with the Horde with the ship's communication instruments. All H626 had was his armor and the tech in the ship. He had no idea how intelligent the planet's locals were or what kind of threat they posed to him. H626 did some scouring and cobbled up some parts to make a shock stick and a blaster. The clone was considering his next move of action, when the ship's outdoor sensors alerted him of movement directly outside the ship. H626 pulled up some live video footage outside and saw a half dozen humanoids and a couple of lizard people nervously approaching the ship. The clone narrowed his eyes. The group could be trouble, but they could also provide him with important information. H626 readied his shock stick and went to the ship's side door. One of the humanoids was studying the door, when it suddenly opened to reveal H626 glaring down at him. The man only had enough time to scream, before H626 stunned him with the shock stick and dragged him into the ship before the door closed. The rest of the group took off running and screaming, believing that some kind of horrible beast had grabbed their friend.
H626 tied the captured man up and waited for him to come back to his senses. The man groaned and looked around in confusion. His eyes landed on H62 and went wide with fear.
"Who...are you?" Asked the man with fear.
H626 thought about saying his whole name and number, but decided against it. It would mean nothing to his prisoner and it wouldn't strike fear in the hearts of the people of this world.
"My name isn't important. What is important is what you know about this place and this world. If you tell me everything you know and I find it helpful, I shall release you unharmed." Said H626.
Fearing what harm might come to him, the man told H626 everything he knew about the Fright Zone and the other kingdoms on Etheria. H626 was satisfied with the information and set the man free. The man took off running as H626 began to make plans. The first thing H626 needed was a name. Names were powerful and provided a imagine to a person. A name was a useful tool. H626 began to try and come up with a new name for himself. He began to write some names on one of the walls, he got inspiration from Horde Prime. Horde Alpha. Horde Delta. Horde Omega. Horde Theta. Horde Sigma. All these were good names yet they just didn't feel like the right for H626 and the image he was trying to go for. H626 then just wrote the word Horde on the wall and began to mentally combine it with various works and letters. One name H626 kept coming back to was Hordak. H626 kept repeating the name in his mind over and over agin. Hordak. It had a nice ring to it. H626 looked at his reflection in a blank computer monitor and spoke to himself.
"I am Hordak."
The name fit and the clone liked the name. Soon everyone on Etheria would know and fear the name Hordak.
