Thragg: Long Live the Empire

I see great things ahead for you, Thragg. Your future is limitless, as long as you put in the work to prove yourself.

Yes, Emperor Argall.

I want to see how you defend yourself.

Thaedus, come and show Thragg what he's capable of.

Yes, Emperor.

You fought well, Thragg. If you ever need help, or guidance, don't hesitate to come to me.

I...

It's okay to ask for assistance. It's for the good of the Empire.

I'm not sure about that.

Your growth has been staggering. You'll face one more challenge: a fight against a group of the toughest of our Viltrumites.

Prove yourself worthy of me and our people.

Yes, Emperor.

Stand, Thragg.

Yes, Emperor.

You are now to stand beside me as my Regent.

Thank you, Emperor Argall. It's my honor.

The Ragnars refuse to submit. Thragg, you and Thaedus go and show them what real power is.

Yes, Emperor.

Why don't we just eradicate all the Ragnars?

That's easier said than done. Plus, I'm not sure how lightly you're suggesting genocide.

If it would be best for the empire, then it should be done.

Thragg, your words and actions have concerned me lately.

And yours have concerned me too, Thaedus.

The mercy you show our enemies is borderline treasonous.

You have always been short sighted and, frankly, childish.

I'll kill you!

Stop this!

Thragg, Thaedus goaded you into this fight.

But, Emperor!

Enough. Go find actual enemies to fight.

Yes, Emperor.

Traveler, you have entered Viltrumite space. Prepare to face the consequences of that.

I'd be happy to just leave. Wouldn't that be easier?

Yes, but much less pleasurable.

You're really enjoying this, aren't you?

Of course.

Hey, Viltrumite, you don't have to pick a fight with every single being in the universe, you know?

I'm not afraid of either of you.

No one said anything about you being afraid…

I will show you no mercy.

Space Racer, quick, we have to escape.

You always run, you cowards. But no-one can ever fully escape the Viltrum Empire!

My top soldiers, you have gotten weak. The Ragnars are gaining territory instead of losing it.

What do you ask of us, Emperor?

Fight. Fight each other to prove to me you're strong enough to protect this empire.

Yes, Emperor.

That'll be enough Viltrumite blood spilled for one day.

You have shown me that you're all still worthy. Especially you, Regent.

For the next battle against the Ragnars, you will lead our people.

An honor. Thank you, Emperor.

These Ragnars are animals and should be treated as such.

Yes, Regent.

Show them no mercy.

You underestimate the Ragnars. They aren't simply mindless beasts.

Compared to us they are.

Raze this planet to nothing and erase the Ragnars from existence!

Arghh!!

For Viltrum!

For the Emperor!

They are defeated.

Not yet. Not while some of them still have breath in their lungs.

You've gone too far, Thragg.

I too wish for a strong Viltrum Empire, but there's a different way to the one Emperor Argall shows you.

You question the Emperor?

You should be questioning everything.

Change will be coming soon, Thragg. I only hope you'll know what to do when it happens.

I will follow my Emperor.
