Lucan: Viltrumite Makes Right

My fellow Viltrumites, even in death, Emperor Argall shows us there is a sickness in our society. We will cut this cancer out.

I now assume the throne, and this is my first command: Seek out the weakness that allowed this betrayal and purge it from our midsts.

If that is his decree... then so be it.

Do you think you can survive this, Lucan?

I know I can out survive you, Conquest.

Continue to fight. Continue to root out the disease at the heart of this planet.

As you command.

It is done.

Those of you who remain will form the core of the new Viltrumite Empire!

Yes, Grand Regent!

This remaining core of Viltrumites... I must see which of you is strongest.

Fight each other so I may know who is worthy of a position of power in this new era.

This is your command of us, Grand Regent?

Of course.

Are you scared, Lucan?

Of you? Never.

Impressive... For most of you.

Lucan... I worry about your ability to stand with the rest of your fellow Viltrumites.

I will not let you down, Grand Regent.

See that you don't.

Lucan, you must improve. Otherwise, Thragg will not hesitate to eliminate you.

I know, Nolan. I know.

Let us fight. I will help you improve your skills. For the good of Viltrum.

Better. You are improving.

Thank you, Nolan.

Do not thank me. I am doing this for the good of our people, not you. Do not tell anybody of these sessions.

You must find people besides Viltrumites to fight to hone your skills.

Where in the universe will I find a worthy opponent?

Just flying. Flying through space… Flying without a care in the world.

Stop right there, Unopan.

Oh crap.

You fight well, Unopan.

And you're strong as hell… Ow.

I am not finished with you, Unopan.

You're not? I feel finished… But if you insist.

You could not kill the Unopan?

He escaped before I could deliver the final blow.

You still have much to learn.

I have found another non-Viltrumite to really test your skills.

Who is it?

RARGHHHH!!!

Oh. I see.

You did well, Lucan. Few can even survive a fight with Battle Beast.

So, am I improving?

Very much so.

Lucan! Where have you been?

Your weakness makes me sick.

I think you will find I am not as weak as I used to be.

We'll see about that.

Where… Where did you learn to fight like that?

Don't ever threaten me again, Conquest.

Nolan! We have just been alerted that you have been secretly training Lucan.

Yes. So?

Lucan should be forced to fend for himself. He should not be given charity from you.

He should survive on his own merits.

Now he can.

Yes, I can.

Then the two of you can show us all your merits.

Gladly.

Impressive, Lucan. But you still have a long way to go.

You are lucky Nolan here took pity on you.

He unlocked my true potential, so I could continue to serve this great empire.

Nolan! I have just heard you are leaving for Earth.

I wish you well, and I wanted to thank you.

Do not thank me.

Instead, fight me. Show me how far you've come.

You've got it.

You are among the best of us now, Lucan.

I pity anyone that challenges you.

I am ready for anything. And I will do anything for Viltrum.
