The Document showed the Family Tree of King Cez -Arr going back many generations to his Five times Great Grand Father King OX'T - STA. He was the last of the Kings from the STA Clan.  Although the STA Clan would still have family links with the ongoing Royal Families of Farllon, OW'T - STA would be the last STA  to wear the CROWN. Also this was the King who had on his death had defeated and won more battles than any other before.

From his pocket the Doctor took out some cards and one placed them in front of Jack and Phooey.  On each was a picture of the Royal sons of Cez - Arr.... and then the Doctor continued with his story about each of them.


Eldest  brother the Crown Prince CEX - ISST. CEX - ISST was the first born of CEZ -ARR and Lady SADE -ISST.  Farllon tradition would see a child take the 2nd part of his natural mothers name.

CEX - ISST was descried behind his back by many as, The old and fat and foolish Prince. His appetite for battle was only matched his appetite for Wine, Woman and FOOD.  All of which he over indulged in. He had won many battles in his time, but his Father knew that he could have won many more if not for is Drinking.

Prince Cex -Isst

CEX - ISTT  had died in a battle on the Moon of Globbal. He was very much like his father, Shoot first ask questions later.  This was a major part of  his down fall.  He had been sent by The King to destroy a Rebel base that had been set up on Moon of Globbal.  Whilst storming the base,  his Blaster had misfired and  ended up hitting a Plasma Generator by accident. Thus  causing not just the destruction of the enemy base on the moon, but the destruction of himself, his troops and his fleet of attack craft.  When King  CEZ -ARR  announced his son's death, he called him a "Great Hero of The Farllon"  in public, but in private thought his son was a fat fool, and should never have died in such a pathetic way.



Then CEZ - ARR's 2nd son  ZEST - ARR  then became the new Crown Prince.  His Mother was Princess STARR - ARR,  a niece of the  King CEZ -ARR...  He was the Kings favorite, as he most resembled him.   ZEST - ARR had shown great aptitude for warmongering whilst he had commanded the forces on that destroyed the last Ston'apon outpost and strong hold in the  Planet Maxiple Prime.  This is where he picked up the scar on his cheek.

Prince Zest - Arr
   King CEZ - ARR  believed he would be a better King than his older brother. However, ZEST - ARR  was  murdered a few years later . It was suspected this had been organised  by The Kings 3rd son PINN - ARR.... but Zest - Arr had many enemies, any of which could have arranged to have him killed.



King CEZ -ARR encouraged fighting between his sons, but was  much sadden by his favorite son's  death.

3rd Son PINN -ARR became known for being a Mean and Vain. .... He thought he was the most Perfect and Beautiful Person in the Known Universe.  He had a sadist streak that frighten most he met. . He was more worried about his own good looks  and self preservation to ever lead his Men from the front. In battle PINN - ARR would more than likely be seen standing in front of a mirror  in a protected spot  plotting ....  He was good commanding his generals than to fight harder, which they did not because they respected him, they did it in fear of him. CEZ -ARR had made him head of military intelligence. This allowed PINN -ARR to indulged in his love of torture and causing pain to captured enemy, and anyone he disliked.... or anyone he thought was far too good looking.    PINN - ARR hated all his brothers, but hated ZEST - ARR the most. ZEST - ARR's scar made him his imperfect in PINN -ARR's mind.  Pefection was everything to PINN - ARR. He had even once beheaded one of his Generals for  appearing at a meeting with mud on his boots.

Brother ZEST - ARR and he shared the same birth Mother, and PINN - ARR never liked to share anything

Prince Pinn - Arr.... 



 PINN - ARR was later killed by another brother WOO - TAR.  After Poison gas  had placed  in his bath water, causing him to pass out, PINN -ARR was  then strangled and drowned.  WOO - TARR said he had done this to avenge the killing of their brother PINN -ARR.   In fact it was PINN - ARR's distaste of his brothers Artificial Arm that had made these two enemies. Him being a Prince and Imperfect was a step too far for him not to deal with. ..... Unfortunately WOO - TARR dealt with his problem "PINN -ARR" first.


Prince Woo - Tar


Prince WOO - TAR's Mother was  the Grand Duchess MOO - TAR, yet another cousin of the King. WOO -TAR had lost an arm in battle or so he claimed. Had had really lost it in a fight. He had be found out cheating at gambling with members of the Kings body guard. For anyone  other than  a sibling or parent to kill a Royal Prince would mean the execution of not just the perpetrator, but the death off all of his family and clan. This is why the Body Guard had only cut off the Prince's Arm, as to kill him , would have meant the death of his family as a result.  The loss of his arm gave WOO - TAR the advantage, as he had his new bionic arm  fitted with many hidden weapons and devices. On the day he was fitted with his new arm, Woo -Tar tested its weaponry   when he slaughtered all of the Kings body guard, and some of their family members too. He was pleased with how well it performed, so he had improvements made. He found he liked killing, and wondered if he had a little bit of his brother PINN -ARR's sadist streak in him.

It would be later discovered that   WOO - TAR  had  had  ZEST - ARR  killed also, and may have had played a part in the death of CEX -ISST too. As he had given his brother the very Blaster that had misfired.  WOO -TAR only wanted one thing,  the throne and thus became the next Crown Prince.



WOO - TAR decided that his youngest and only remaining brother was not a threat. He was still only a child.... so Crown Prince WOO- TAR the schemer   decided to try to kill his own father CEZ - ARR  as he wanted the Crown and Throne of The Farllon now, and was not going to wait until his father died  of old age or Battle.

After WOO -TAR had killed all of the Royal Body guard many months before, he replaced them with men loyal to him. So he had little issue entering the King's private sleeping quarters a few nights later.  WOO - TAR  decided to assassinate his father by stabbing him whilst The King slept. Misjudging his attack, WOO -TAR  stabbed his father in the  eye.  Although WOO -TAR managed to take his fathers eye, CEZ - ARR fought back and took his sons life. It is said  an enraged CEZ - ARR ripped the of his sons bionic arm and beat him to death with it.



CEZ -ARR  commanded that his last remaining son  be sent back to The Farllon Home World to protect  him.  His youngest son was still a child, but CEZ - ARR could not risk that the boy would not grow up and try to kill him also.  The King CEZ -ARR  would go onto father many more children in his life, but all subsequent children were born female. In Farllon Law only Male offspring could rule. So the Young Crown Prince grew up in safety and seclusion. He used his time to study and learn. He had complete  access to all the books and documents held on the Farllon Home World and through out the Realms conquered by the Farllon.. He arranged to have the best scholars and tutors brought from all around the Empire to help him learn.  Not all were Farllon. These would included many of captured races of the other Great Houses.

Knowledge was everything to the young Prince. He did not want just to be one day a better King than his Father, he wanted to be the Best King EVER to wear the Crown of Farllon.



It was 20 years later that the King finally summoned his son to return to his side.  This was only  a few weeks before the King died. CEZ -ARR wanted  his son by his side, to show him what totally Victory looked like. He was happy he could be with him as the King  planned to destroy the last of the Great Houses.



Moon - Ark had been the first King to take The Farllon into the Great War of the Realms over a estimated Billion Years before.... and Now and now his many times grandson , Cez -Arr would be remembered for being the Farllon King who conquered the whole Galaxy.



That It turned out was  not to be........





Both Jack and Phooey looked in amazement as the Doctor unrolled the Scroll and saw it was now empty.



"What !" Exclaimed Phooey jumping up " What happened next ? "Cried.



"Yes, Doctor.... we need to know more!" added Jack.



"Alright, do not get upset.... the story continues on another Scroll !" said the Doctor re rolling the Red Scroll and walking back to replace it in his hiding place.



Plucking the Light Blue Scroll the Doctor return to where his companions sat.



" Are you ready for the next part ?" said The Doctor










Both Hong Kong Phooey and Samurai Jack both nodded with enthusiasm.



Next Time we will learn the Fate of the Ankar and what The Young King had in store for the Galaxy.





Until then    ENJOY !

Yesterdays Heroes once more part Nineteen The 5 Farllon Princes

Whilst the Tardis was traveling to find the next person on the Doctors list of people  he need to help him battle the Grand Master, he had ended up telling his companions about a story of a great battle that had taken place Billions of years ago. A time before the Time Lords.





The Doctor continued his story..... of the  Royal son's of King CEZ -ARR of Farllon, all  of which should have and  could have ascended to the Royal throne before the young Unknown Prince.... but fate made sure they did not....

Unrolling the scroll some more, they all could see that at some time the scroll had been either damaged or had had part of it removed..... but the Doctor continued the epic tale the best he could. He pointed out that the damaged part had the mark of the high council of Gallifrey. This could mean one of two things. Either the missing part had been either too badly damaged  and it needed to be removed to preserve the rest of the scroll, or was the information contained  inaccurate, misleading or wrong ?..... or  was it that The High Council did not want this information to be seen.... and therefore removed it ?

Was it was a line or many lines  of text that was missing  ? Was it a Picture showing the Face of the Forgotten King or a clue to his name ?

The Doctor believed that the truth was most likely that the High Council wanted to remove this information to preserve the mystery.

There was still something to read, so The Doctor continued.




The Missing Part and the repair 


The next panel showed the first four son's of King CEZ - ARR. The Doctor explained that each of the Royal Princes wore a Crown based on the Princes Crown that they Father once wore when he was a Royal Prince.

The Doctor reminded Jack and Phooey that in the picture they had seen with the King being dead, he worn another Crown. That would have been his own Prince's Crown.  Each Prince would be allowed to enhance his Fathers design  it in any way he wanted. This was his own personal sign or crest.  If this Prince  would go on to be the King of Farllon his Prince's Crown would be used as the design that his son's would model theirs on.

The Late King Buried Wearing his Prince's Crown as was the tradition. 

" I can show this better" said the The Doctor jumping up from when he was sitting rushing  back to the place where he had taken the scroll.  He returned a few seconds later with a dusty old book.  This was one of my old school books the Doctor explained.  I studied the War of The Realms and The Kings of Farllon  when I was very young.  I have something to show you .... he explained, placing the book in front of the edger duo who had stood up in reaction to the Doctor's behavior.


The Doctor's Old School Book

With Great Excitement the Doctor opened the book



Stopping on one of the pages,  the Doctor showed them a drawing he had done of an arm and two markings on it.   The Doctor then continue that to show that a Male Child was born of the King, the King would mark the baby's skin with a copy of his Prince's Crown and that of the Royal Farllon Crown.... So on the Child's naming day he branded  on his shoulder as A Royal Prince of a King.








" I bet that hurt ! " winced Phooey.  "Poor little Baby" he continued.


" Yes" The Doctor agreed.... and went on " We should never Judge another culture by our own standards.  Even People of Planet Earth have done nasty things to their own Male children as part of a religious tradition ! "

"What ? " said Jack


Phooey crossed his legs winced again  and said " I will tell you later !!!! "











Phooey crossed his legs winced again  and said " I will tell you later !!!! "




The Doctor  continued flicking through the pages and stopped. Here is a picture of some of the Royal Prince's and their Father. " I drew this myself"  said the Doctor smiling




"Don't you mean copied it from the Scrolls" whispered Phooey to Jack



Looking at the next page the Doctor smiled. "I  had forgotten about this " he exclaimed



On one page was a Picture of two Prince's Crowns, and on the other page was a piece of blue folded paper.

The Doctor taking the Blue folded document from the Book he closed it.
