"...Dodoria." Freezer glares at his associate.

"S-Sorry, sir. Just tryin' to be friendly, is all." Dodoria quickly replies.

Freezer gets straight down to business. "Now, Chef, it has come to my attention that you have been utterly decimated by this... Animatronic Kingdom, correct? You can't say otherwise, your face literally paints the picture for me. Anywho, as I have also been discriminated against by these foolish excuses for animatronics, I've realized it would be in my benefit if we were to form an alliance. Be that temporary or permanent, defeating Phobe and reclaiming this land in the name of Animatrading is simply the best thing to do. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Sir, yes sir!" Dodoria salutes Freezer.

"No, not you, Dodoria..."

"Uh, yeah, I knew that."

Meanwhile, back at the AK Castle...

"A week?" Cain mutters, turning back around to exit the podium. "I'm not even sure she'll last that long..."

"Who? What? Where? Why? When?" Henry runs up behind Cain. "Ooooh, I see! You fancy one o' them dancers down at the bar, don'cha?"

"What on- No, Henry." Cain angrilly responds, though he does blush. "I was talking about someone very dear to me, someone you wouldn't know..."

"Lemme guess, your mother?"

"How did you-"

"Aw, how didn't I? Everyone knows about Eve! Before you were born, she was one of the Mask Kingdom's Ninjas in Training! Eventually, she left when she saw how big the Animatronic Kingdom was becoming, and how much better the economy was here. That's when she was pregnant with you, I think." Henry continues to give off his regular smile.

"Why has... Why has she never told me this?" Cain asks himself out loud.

Henry's eyes open wide. "Oh, uh, she hasn't? Maybe it woulda been better if I hadn't told you..."

"Why didn't she?" Cain keeps asking himself over and over, Henry shrugs it off.

"Come on, Cain. We both know your mother's always looking out for you and Abel, ever since your fath-" Henry stops himself. "Not that you'd know anything about that, heh!"

"...Henry, you knew my father?"

"Damn, whole bomb of information coming at you today, huh? I'll tell you some other time, if Eve wanted you to know, she would have told you."

"...Fine." Cain leaves the castle and begins to head home. Henry stays inside for a few more minutes before entering a Karthic church and doing some religious things in there.

As he walks home, a thought comes to mind from Cain. "My mother was a Ninja in Training... She left the Mask Kingdom when she saw this place booming... Does this mean... My father was from the Mask Kingdom...? Am I partly Maskonian?"
