Frog sat up and opened his eyes to see Kryl, sitting up and staring back at him.
“Kryl! You’re all right!” he cried. “You are all right, right?”
“Frog…” she gasped. “You saved me…”
Frog shrugged.
“Pfff – I saved you, I saved the princess – and just now I sort of saved everybody else,” he said. “You should see all the saving I’ve got planned for next week.”
Kryl flung her arms around Frog and squeezed him so tightly he thought his head might pop. Princess Rainbow, Nigel and Sheriff Explosion were quick to join in, and soon the entire Defeat All Foes Team were embroiled in one enormous hug. Except Man-Lor, who joined in from a distance, wrapping his own arms around himself.
“Man-Lor is happy,” he said. “I am Man-Lor.”
With the Defeat All Foes Team complete once more, Frog set about putting things right. He gathered them together with the bragons and the Kroakans.
“I was thinking about the rarewolf’s prophecy,” he said. “I think maybe I should save the world now.”
“I think that would be a wonderful idea,” smiled Kryl.
“So, for my first order, I command all Kroakans to pack up their traceships and leave Kingdomland!” Frog declared. “Send them all back to Kroakas. And get me some sandwiches! Anything except turnip…”
“At once, Your Majesty,” replied Major Krung, and made her way back into the Farthership.
Frog smiled.“I’m telling you, Kryl, being King is the easiest business ever!” he said.
“It’s a good start, but this is bigger than Kingdomland,” Kryl began. “King Kroak sent a thousand armies to a thousand worlds. Those worlds are being conquered as we speak.”
“But … can’t I just order them to leave, too?” Frog asked.
“It may not be that simple,” Kryl explained. “The sons of King Kroak will not be happy to surrender their worlds. Don’t forget, they have all been trained as merciless conquerors, and you are ordering peace. You may have a rebellion on your hands…”
“Pfff – I’ll bring out their inner champions! You’ll see, I’m going to peace-up the whole universe! I’m going to … going to…” Frog trailed off. He looked around and sighed a long sigh. “I’m going to have to leave, aren’t I?” he said. “I’m going to have to leave Kingdomland.”
