In his lair, Mandark flinched back in his hot tub as Dexter smashed the Mandark-Bot's eye and ended the video feed. Mandark gritted his teeth in frustration as he yanked the helmet off his head and slammed his fist down into the water creating a huge splash that sent water everywhere into the room. Another failure! Mandark had been close in eliminating his enemies, only to have his victory snatched from him and one of his favorite robots destroyed. This day was not going well and it was fixing to get a bit worse. The communicator began to ring and Olga looked at it.
"It's Aku." Said Olga.
Mandark became very pale and nervous. He took a deep breath and waved for Olga to answer it. Aku's face appeared on a computer screen looking very displeased. Mandark smiled nervously at his master and spoke.
"Hello Lord Aku."
"Mandark, I just saw your so called perfect plan get destroyed. You have failed me." Said Aku.
"Master please give me another chance, I still have many more robots and weapons at my disposal! Those fools have no chance against the full force of my army. I swear to you that they shall meet their end at the hands of my forces!" Pleaded Mandark as he cupped his hands together.
"Very well, I shall show you mercy and give you another chance." Said Aku.
"Thank you my lord." Said Mandark.
"Now something else has come to my attention." Said Aku.
"And that would be?" Asked Mandark looking a bit nervous.
"The samurai seeks a way to travel through time and return to the past to destroy me and undo my world. You are one of the smartest minds on the planet, capable of many great engineering feats, so it stands to reason you have a time machine at your disposal and that the samurai intends to use it to return to the past. If you have such a machine, I order you to destroy it." Said Aku.
"My lord, I would not put you and the empire at risk by building such a machine. I...do however have a time machine that was created by an old enemy Dexter in my trophy room, but rest assure, I took steps to make sure it would no longer function. Even if those fools managed to penetrate my defenses it would take them a great deal of time to even get the time machine working again and I would do everything in my power to make sure that won't happen." Said Mandark.
"Very well, I trust you. However I am going to come to your territory myself to make sure you and your forces succeed in destroying the samurai and his friends and I will personally see to the destruction of this time machine of yours. If you fail me Mandark, you will suffer greatly." Said Aku.
"Yes...master." Said Mandark with fear in his eyes.
The call ended and the computer screen went black.
To be continued.
