The newly named Hordak paced back and forth in a large area of his ship. Little by little Hordak was coming up with a plan for himself. By some random bit of fate, he had been saved from a battle he would have surly been killed in and had instead gone through a portal that had taken him to Etheria. Most beings would have gone about cursing their fate and would have either killed themselves or fall into despair and give up any form of hope of ever leaving the world they were stranded on. Hordak wasn't like most beings, he had cursed his fate a bit, but then he started to see his situation as a golden opportunity to prove himself to Horde Prime. Hordak planned to use his skills and the equipment he had on hand to start his own version of the Horde and takeover Etheria. In time Hordak believed he could gather the proper resources to create a portal machine to open a portal and send a message to Horde Prime. It would be easy for Prime to open up a portal to Etheria and for the Horde to come to the planet and when they arrived Prime would see the empire Hordak created and would see that Hordak wasn't a failure and invite him back to his side. Hordak took a moment to imagine Prime praising him. The clone vowed that the dream would become a reality.
The sensors outside the ship alerted Hordak of a bunch of movement outside the ship. Hordak turned on one of the screens and saw a large crowd of humanoids and lizard creatures outside the ship with a variety of makeshift weapons. It appeared to be an angry mob. Hordak knew he needed an army in order to conquer Etheria and create an empire. He didn't have the luxury of a cloning machine, so the locals have the Fright Zone would have to do and thanks to the information he got from his interrogation, Hordak had an idea of how to get the locals to rally to his cause. Hordak opened the door and stepped out holding a blaster and a shock stick. The mob took an uneasy step back away Hordak. Hordak looked at the crowd and lowered his weapons to his side and he began to address the crowd.
"People of the Fright Zone, I am Hordak and I have come to help you and lead you into glory and prosperity!"
There was confused whispering from the crowd and Hordak continued speaking.
"I think fate has brought me to you for a reason. You are one of the great kingdoms of Etheria, yet none of the other kingdoms or their rulers treat you with respect. They look down upon you and your rulers have done nothing to prove them wrong. Even now none of the other kingdoms has come to offer your kingdom aid since I crashed here. You are a mighty kingdom with numerous people and with my aid your kingdom can grow and have an army like no one has ever seen. With my help, I can give you powerful weapons and machines that will strike fear into the hearts of the other kingdoms as we invade them and show every last one of them that we are not to be looked down upon. Together we are the Horde and we shall conquer all!"
The crowd were a bit unsure how to respond to this as first. They weren't comfortable with the idea of invading the rest of Etheria, but Hordak had raised some really good points and the people felt a great surge of emotion go through them. The people of the Fright Zone were tired of how the other kingdoms treated them. It was time for a drastic change. The mob began to wildly cheer and clap for Hordak and the future prosperity of the Horde. A small smile appeared on Hordak's face. The first steps of his plan had been taken.
To be continued.
