"I've made a lot of enemies in my time, and I mean a lot." Mr. Snake.
Snake wasn't kidding when he said that because one of his old enemies has come back, and want to kill him! Now Wolf and his gang must do what they can to protect Snake from this...
Snake and the others were now relaxing and waiting for Snake to explain.
"Snake, what's going on? Who was that and what did he mean by criminal empire?" Wolf asked.
"Okay, it's time you all knew the true. Back when I was a teenager... I was alone on the streets after I ran away. Until I met this tiger who then became a good friend and a mentor to me. His name was Creyke Tiger or Mr. Tiger." Snake said.

A flashback showed a teen Snake with Creyke robbing a bank, stealing art, and even racing through a dirt track in their armored truck. Them soon forming a team together. Kodi the German Shepherd, Roman the Raccoon, Brian the Bear, Angus the Scottish Bull.
"We had so fun then. He taught me everything I knew about being a criminal and a thief." Snake said.
A flashback showed Snake and Creyke practicing on opening locks. Snake was trying to unlock it but got angry and frustrated.
"Dammit! It won't open!" Snake growled as he threw it. Creyke then picked it up.
"Hey, take it easy with that. Treating it harsh like that won't get it opened." Creyke said as he then works on it.
"Locks are like people. If you treat them harsh and rough, they'll never open to you. But... if you treat them with kindness, patience, and care..."
The lock then opened. Snake was awed by his work.
"... they'll open to you. Unfortunately not everyone is like this, which is why guys like us need to stick together." Creyke said which made Snake smile.
"He was the one who taught you how to pick locks?!" Shark exclaimed.
"Yep. He was... like a father to me. In time, we created a team which soon grew to like an empire as Creyke called it. We were living like kings! Until... that one day that changed everything." Snake said.
A flashback then showed Snake arriving to see Creyke with a suitcase behind him on a table.
"Hey, there you are. I got something to show you." Creyke said. Snake comes to him.
"What is it?" Snake asked.
"Open it." Creyke said. Snake opens the case to see specialized guns.
"What are these?" Snake asked.
"Pulse cannon guns. Not even the military has these yet." Creyke said with a grin.
"Why do you have them?" Snake asked worried.
"We're gonna sell them in the black market." Creyke said.
"But we don't sell weapons. We never have." Snake said.
"Times are changing bud. It's time we change our game. All we do now is just rob banks and museums of money and artifacts like kids stealing candy and toys. It's time for us to go bigger on that." Creyke said.
