Kim successfully got Criss, Rachel, Sully, Sandy and I out of Deltar, and into the security of Doktari...where we met up with our family...and was taken to the ruler of the city...which was a very nice and kind old man with his granddaughter helping him...but when I told him of the betrayal and decievement of King Tal...and that he got my husband killed...he welcomed all of us to his city, and said we would be protected by his soldiers...and any Deltarian soldier or Ravager that tried to step forth in his kingdom and take any of us...would have to fight for it...then he asked his granddaughter princess Titanya to take us to our new rooms...within his palace walls.

Deltar may have had more soldiers...but Doktari was a lot bigger and more grand of a city...and all the people were very friendly and extremely close-knit. Criss and I both had a really good feeling about this city, and its inhabitants. Kim was sitting around looking toward Deltar, wondering if and when her brother was going to meet up with her in Doktari...like they planned...for he was two days late already...and still no sign of him...she began to get antsy and wanted to go back to get him...but Tron made her promise that no matter what...once she got me and my entire family out of Deltar...that she was not to go back under any circumstances.

Adam 7k finally made it back to Queen Aphelion but was very restless...and was more determined than ever to go to Deltar...when she asked him why...he said he didn't know exactly...but there was just something about it that hit some recognition with him...and he really wanted to find his wife, and get whatever life he had...he wanted it back...and living like this wasn't going to be good enough for him...because he had an unknown feeling urging him on...and when he was silent and standing still...it drove him insane. The Queen touched his face, and as she smiled at him...she told him to take his dragon and ride to Deltar...to see if he could find whatever it was he was looking for...beens he has been so successful in the defeat of their enemies as of late, they had time for comfort and relaxation. Adam 7k gave her a half bow, as he thanked her...then he hopped on Dragon and headed immediately for Deltar.

Once he got there he told Dragon to wait for him...down there and if something went wrong he'd whistle for him...Dragon lowered his head then laid down. Adam 7k emerged from one of the desert's openings and walked slowly into the city...right when he entered it...he knew exactly where he was...but didn't know why. As he reached the small houses in the town's square...the people he was looking for were no longer there...he slowly looked up toward the castle of the King...and headed straight for it...one way or another he was going to get answers...for he knew deep inside he was in the right place.

King Tal finally got thru with his summons...and was heading for my chambers to harass me some more...but was shocked when he found all of us gone...he now infuriated quickly called Tron to him and asked him how we all managed to sneak out of the palace and the city without him or any of his guards noticing!! Tron looked at him and said how would he know...he was in the room with him during the summons...the entire time. King Tal quickly headed to the vehicle room, and saw two of the newly acquired air vehicles were missing...he quickly ordered Tron to gather up all the soldiers...and to go after them and find them...then to bring me back to him alive...then he added that he could kill the others...along with my kids.

Adam 7k watched in the shadows as Tron gathered up all the soldiers...then looked up with his magnetized vision at King Tal who was standing on the balcony...that used to be his room...it all flooded back into his mind like a waterfall...he and his wife lived up in that very room...and her name was Kc...he was just about to head up to talk to the King...but stopped when he heard him holler down at Tron and told him to remember to kill all of them...but bring Kc back to him alive...for without her family...she wouldn't have a choice but to be with him. Adam 7k quickly added two and two together...and realized that all that has happened to him was because of King Tal!

Adam 7k stormed up toward the castle...but was intermediately stopped by Tron...as he asked him to follow him just out of sight...Adam 7k followed him...and as soon as they got into the back alley he attacked Tron and had him up against the wall ready to kill him for his betrayal. Tron tried to pull him off...until he noticed that he was different...he wasn't human anymore. Tron said pleaded with him to hear him out before killing him...so he would know the truth. Adam 7k slowly set him back down on his feet and told him his reasons better be good. Tron told him of the entire plot...then told him that his real name was Klayton...and that his wife Kc and his entire family was safe with his sister Kim, in the city of Doktari...which was three days travel from Deltar...then Tron touched his shoulder and said that he was a father now as well...and that he had two very beautiful 3-year-old boys...Mickey and Kiefer.

Klayton ran all of his new information thru his memory banks...and suddenly he remembered all of his family...Criss, Rachel, Siera, Ashley, Dani, Andy, Sully, Sandy, and all the kids...he grabbed Tron and pulled him back to the wall and ordered him to take him to this Doktari...but Tron told him he couldn't just yet for he had orders from the king to search for them...but he had a plan...and he had to see it thru...that way Kc would finally be safe from King Tal's twisted mind. Tron told him of the plan...and gave him a wicked grin and said he would help with that...then Tron moved them all out in search of the escapees.
