(Book 2 of the Tales of Resors Series)
After escaping the H3 from Oakhill, View Toodle-oo learn to accept life in Spruceside Acres. During a hunt, Clover and Tuskan are captured by Nature Reserveists from SunRock Regional Park, and it is up to Geral...
"How was I to know they had back up from those two?"
"Maybe use those two things on the front of your face? Your eyes."
"Oh sorry, maybe if you had gotten up a lot quicker, we wouldn't have gotten thrown over the falls, gotten wet and carried for 5 minutes downstream."
"Admit it, it was hot out, you needed to cool off."
"Yeah, it was good to cool off."
A voice from the opening of the Lupine's cave made itself known.
"At least you two can swim when the opportunity arises." The grey shape of C41N-9 appeared.
"Who are you?" The brothers said in unison.
"Your worst nightmare" C41N-9 said as his cylon eye glowed red.
"When people ask me of my purpose in this world, I hearken to one directive. Honour my master. Who is my master, you may ask? Sometimes I consider myself my own master, but no. I work for a higher cause. The ever inquisitive of mind Doctor Aloysius Longklaus. He created me, gave me my directive and how have I done so far? Not well. You see, I believe that not a lot of my work to capture the World's Unified Freedom Fighters cannot be done by a single unit such as myself. I wish to give you two a choice. If you join me, you shall be rewarded. But fail me, fail me, and fall victim to your own misdemeanor? And you will pay."
"Gee, you sound like a bad fella. Are you sure you're okay?"
"People ask me that sometimes, what makes someone such as myself bad? Was I brought up that way, yes? But here I am talking to you two right now, and what do you think of me? This guy just broke into our den, and we are just supposed to see him as a threat. If I were you, I would have run in fear. But I am not like you. I am a highly superior Canidae being, formed and structured to take on the world's threats, tasked with the directives of saving the world and honouring my master. I have three directives, Honour My Master, Save the world, Recruit or Kill? So, what do you say gentlemen? Do we have a deal?"
Majoto hesitates before answering.
"Eh, I don't know, it seems like such a big task."
"I know it's a big task and I can see you are specimens of hatred. I noted your blood pressure and your body temperature and could see some irregularities. You are angry, deceived, feel like you have been tricked. I can see why you feel this way. As the highest strain of AI, I am capable of feelings and understanding them. You want vengeance, join me. You want retaliation, join me. You want to say to the one who caused you to feel this way, dig down deep to the source of your anger, harness it with every fibre of your being? Please do it on your own time, but I can help you."
"What are your names?"
"Majoto and Kadota"
"Majoto, too wordy, from now on you will be known as Joto Lupine."
"And you, Kadota, You will be known as Kado Lupine."
"And me, I forgot to introduce myself, so sorry. I am C41N-9. 9th generation and the only successful test of Dr Aloysius LongKlaus' C41N Animaul-Droids Protocol."
"We shall be known as the AniMauls."
