A.R.K.

## Animal Regulation Kontainers

**Animal Regulation Kontainers**, also known as *Animal Rights Keepers* *(Abbreviated as A.R.K.)* is a villainous organization abiding by the Light's orders. It disguises themselves as an animal care group but secretly intends to kidnap and capture animals from various regions to mutate them with genetics until they are suited to kill the Combination Crew. They do this with their advanced technology, some, they create; the others, they hack and steal. The company seems to be controlled by Mark Motokin, but it is then revealed that Mark is hardly doing anything and leaves the decisions up to the staff. They are the main villains of Season 2 of The Adventures of Combo.

## Motive

With the Light having told Mark Motokin to form A.R.K., the company abides by the fox goddess's orders, intending to kill the Combination Crew and bring her back into power.

They kidnap animals from the environment in order to mutate them with their genes, and combine them to create experimental beasts almost unrecognisable to the human eye, aimed at destroying the Combination Crew.

When this is stopped by Combo's forces, they switch over to war and weapons.

## Group

1. **Mark Motokin** - The idiotic, clumsy CEO of A.R.K. who tries to act smart, but always ends up being very cliché and looking very idiotic. He initially worked as the cleaning manager, but somehow got the position of managing the entire company. He barely contributes to anything and makes the A.R.K. Members do his bidding. The only things he can really do is talk as if he did everything and have his staff shut up while he's doing so. Furthermore, he uses A.R.K.'s contraptions all the time to make him look like the smart one. In the end, though, everything that A.R.K. does backfires on him.
2. **A.R.K. Member Alphah** - One of the first members ever hired in A.R.K.,he just calls every animal he captures by their species. He is quite strict, yet thick-headed.
3. **A.R.K. Member Betah** - He is smarter than Alphah, but is more lenient and laid back. He hates Omega And Icey.
4. **A.R.K. Member Gammah** - An enemy of Baldi. He also thinks that Combo is a knockoff of Mario.
5. **A.R.K. Members**- Most of A.R.K is made up of unnamed units, and they are called A.R.K. Members. These members have A.R.K Rifles and Tasers.
6. **Sylen Anlos** (Formerly **Jayden "Skyl" Davis**) - One of the head inventors of the company who heavily places his beliefs in the Light. He has tan skin and white hair.

## Weapons

This section is about the weapons that A.R.K. created or stole and uses against Combo's crew.

### A.R.K. Taser

The A.R.K. Taser appears as a normal taser, but in truth it has more power behind it thanks to an increase electrical storage and can remove someone's powers and abilities for a long period of time. Also when Combo fires an electro ball, it gets captured by the taser and has the capability of launching it back.

### A.R.K. Rifle

The A.R.K. Rifle is the primary rifle used by A.R.K forces during their occupation of Piggy Island. It uses electricity as ammunition and can fire very accurately.

### A.R.K. Jidōcage 3000

The A.R.K Jidōcage 3000 is a trap that initially looks like a large metal plate, but when anybody walks onto it would deploy an electrical cage that would change in size to match the victim's size. Touching the electrical bars does not cause a shock but instead push back the victim in the equal amount of force they exerted.

The Jidōcage also has sensors to be able to differenciate an object and a living being, though because of this it will deploy its electrical cage regardless on who initially triggered it, even A.R.K Members.

While effective at trapping any target of any size, anyone with the capability of teleportation can easily escape though some Jidōcages may have devices that nulify one's powers and abilities within proximity.

### TriD U Class Weapon

The TriD U Class Weapon (also known as the World's Worst Weapon, abbreviated as W.W.W.) is top secret weapon that Motokin is willing to release on Piggy Island. To activate it, A.R.K will need the Chaos Emeralds. As Reece is the Guardian of the emeralds, they plan to capture him and use him for evil purposes, while getting it

## Vehicles

A.R.K has access to virtually any vehicle possible, from normal vehicles such as vans and trucks to military vehicles such as tanks and helicopters to even spacecraft such as a space shuttle. They also possess drone technology which they use rather extensively.

There are some vehicles however that A.R.K has notably created:

### A.R.K Bird

The A.R.K Bird is an extremely large flying wing drone with the capability of launching smaller drones to either protect itself or to capture animals quickly as each smalller drone has retractable arms. The A.R.K Bird is quite slow and may appear stationary from a distance. It is armed with weapons that fire bolts of lightning and has armor strong enough to withstand even attacks from YAF-ARH's powerful weapons.

### Guardian

The Guardian is a large submarine that can carry a large amount of vehicles and members. It is armed with lightning rail cannons and can dive up to 600 meters. The Guardian is used as A.R.K's main way of transporting their vehicles and members. Being a submarine means it cannot be detected easily when it is submerged.

### Shinfaxi and Hirnfaxi

The Shinfaxi and Hirnfaxi are a pair of large tanks operated by A.R.K Members. The tanks have an electric cannon and hull mounted rifle to stun any target, which the tanks can then capture with two mechanical arms that would put them in a enclosed cage in the back of the tanks. Due to their large sizes, they are rather slow but their electric weapons allows them to close the distance once they manage to stun someone.

## Facilities

A.R.K has a headquarters on a small island off the coast of Piggy Island. Not much information is known about this headquarters currently, though this is not the only facility that A.R.K has.

### Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a large containment facility on a large island some distance away from Piggy Island. It has the capacity to store a large amount of captured animals and is largely protected by a tall tower that can fire a powerful bolt of lightning from a considerable range. There is very little fences or walls surrounding the facility as the water acts as a barrier for anyone attempting to escape or break in.

## Trivia

* A.R.K. is heavily based off PETA, as they both have many similarities.
	+ Upon a donation, it is theorised PETA kills animals. A.R.K. does a similar thing, but since the show is a kids show, this has been modified to capturing them.
	+ A.R.K. has an acronym, just like PETA.
* Motokin is actually Japanese for *principal*, and this was done to relate to the company.
* If A.R.K. is translated to Japanese in its abbreviation, it can translate to 悪(aku), which means "evil".
