The rhinos were sleeping after battling all night. Walking all the way to the quarry was enough to put them to sleep for the majority of the day, however, they didn't get to sleep long.

The royal crocodile tank approached the rhinos with a crocodile bike on each side for protection. The crocodiles made sure to cause as much noise to prevent having to wake the rhinos up. Still, the rhinos didn't even move. Upon arriving close enough to the rhinos, Crominus ordered Crawley and Crug, who were driving the bikes, to come closer to Rogon and wake him up. The two crocodiles did as they were told and Crug approached the rhino after stopping his bike a few centimeters from Rogon. Crug first lightly touched him with his foot, and then after a few tries kicked the rhino. Only then did he wake up. Rogon stared at Crug, and after a few seconds, without a word, walked to his bike and kicked it.

"Why did you do that?" Crug said while trying to get Rogon away from the bike.

"What are you doing here?" Rogon said as he pushed Crug away. He didn't enjoy the crocodiles disturbing him in his sleep. Noticing Crug was just making things worse, Crawley decided to intervene.

"Calm down Rogon. We just wanted to visit you and then we'll be on our way." Crawley said as he pushed Crug away from the rhino.

"Did you have to do that RIGHT NOW!?" Rogon got increasingly more angry and punched the ground. This caused every other rhino to slowly wake up.

"What are you doing Rogon? What are these animals doing here?" Rukus said.

"Hey, are those the crocodiles?" Runk said.

"Calm down friends, we were just here to show you this piece of paper." Crominus climbed out of his tank to save the situation.

"Couldn't you have waited a day or two?" Rogon said as he threw a rock at the crocodile king.

"I definitely regret doing that. But look, this paper says you are supposed to fight with me and not the lions!" Crominus tried sounding surprised even though he planned the entire encounter.

"Is that really what it says? I can't read." Rogon said as he glanced over at the paper. Some of the rhinos began getting interested in the paper as well.

"Sure! It says it's the Pledge of The Crash! It also says you will fight with me against the lions whenever I want, or, whenever you want!" Crominus said while pointing at the pledge of the pack: "And best of all, you signed it just last week!"

"I signed that?" Rogon said as he squinted at the paw print on the paper.

"Sure you did! You remember everything that happened last week, don't you?" Crominus said.

"Uh... sure. Yeah, I guess I did sign that document." Rogon said as he stared at the ground.

"See you later, remember, you fight for us now!" Crominus said as the crocodiles left the quarry.

The rhinos were confused, but they decided going back to sleep was best. A few hours later, a similar sound could be heard coming from the ramp to the quarry. This time, the rhinos were awake and angry.

The rhinos stared right at the three speedorz approaching as Rogon walked up to them. As soon as they stopped, the rhino grabbed the one Leonidas was riding,  took a Chi, and launched it into a cliff with full force. The lions stared at Rogon as they quickly got off their speedorz.

"What do YOU WANT!?" Rogon was furious. He had to fight and walk for hours and he couldn't even have a few hours of sleep.

"Calm down Rogon, we just wanted to check on you after one of the eagles told us the crocodiles came here." Laval said.
