“Cpt. Zaphod Beeblebrox, I hereby declare you the Honorary Leader of this castle. Anyone you recruit into the Frackernation will be under your command,” said the Frackernation Leader. “And, being the winner of the Bodükognerschiten, the Frackernation will be expecting a large sum of money to thank us for ending all the crime!” He shook Zaphod’s hand, thanked him sincerely for his help, and directed his last 15 men back to the hideout. He started off in that direction himself, but then turned around and told Zaphod, “After what we’ve done to prove ourselves, we’re kind of responsible for the safety in this town, peace in the country, and we might also have to fight for world peace. So, yeah. Thanks again for your help!”

Zaphod, Mat4ney, JJ, and Private watched the last of the Frackernation leave, and they wondered how the hell they survived a war like that, and how they would survive an even bigger war. But those thoughts are for another day. Zaphod needed to consider recruitment, first to fill in the gaps of the Head Frack created in the war from the loss of Tim, Tom, iFondle, and Kenny. But, first thing’s first, he had to get all these bodies out of here. There were thousands of dead bodies around, and he needed to clean them up. He also needed to take down that stupid Glackfernation sign. He didn’t want everybody knowing where he was.

********************

A week later, a check came in the mail. How it got to the castle, he wasn’t entirely sure, but it got there. Zaphod was starting to think it didn’t matter whether that sign was up there or not until he saw directions to the place on the envelope. 

When he opened the check, he almost passed out. $295 trillion! That’s enough to replace everything that was destroyed, fix all damage done to the castle, hire people to clean out the bodies for him, pay for 10 thousand Frackers for a year, and still have enough to buy 200 tons of cheese, as well as enough refrigerators for all the cheese! And there was even a note inside saying that they will get special funding of $250 thousand every month! 

“Hey Matt,” called Zaphod from across the castle. “You wanna get the cheese company on the phone and order 200 tons of cheese?”

“Do I ever!” said Mat4ney.

“Also,” Zaphod continued, “You’ll need to order about 3000 refrigerators. Make it Maytag. Mmkay?”

“Oh, hell yes!” Mat4ney was obviously excited. 

After cashing that check into the bank, Zaphod went back to the castle. He had a lot to take care of before another situation came up.
