Jack and the Scotsman looked at Dexter with sympathy as he finished his tale. Dexter took a deep breath before he continued speaking.

"Mandark has reduced all the peoples of these land to a very primitive state of mind and rules them with an iron fist. They lack the intelligence and bravery to create any form of weaponry or resistance to fight Mandark and his forces. Mandark rules these lands from a massive fortress that serves as his factory that produces his robots as well as robots for Aku's armies. It is impossible to storm with the current resources at hand and Mandark has stolen all of my inventions from my lab and added them to his collection. Ever since I dug myself from the prison Mandark, I've been fighting his forces and trying to help the people as best as I can, but...sometimes I wonder if I'm even making...a difference. This place is still controlled by Mandark and every robot I destroyed his factory just produces more faster then I can destroy them. I...feel like...I'm fighting...a war that's already lost." Said Dexter.

Jack looked at Dexter sadly. He could understand the other man's struggles and relate to them. Jack sometimes felt the same way with his quest to defeat Aku. The samurai then told Dexter his own story and his quest for a way to travel back to the past. Dexter stared at Jack for a few moments before he spoke.

"I...actually built a time machine." Said Dexter.

"Where is it?" Asked Jack with a bit of excitement.

"In Mandark's fortress." Said Dexter.

"Well it appears we share a common goal. We must figure out a way to storm Mandark's fortress, defeat him, and use the time machine." Said Jack as he offered Dexter his hand.

Dexter shook it and an alliance was formed between the samurai and the scientist. The Scotsman grinned and also shook Dexter's hand.
