*elsewhere, Vice sits in the middle of a dying star, his skin bathing gently amongst the torrential flames of the celestial body*
Vice: .... not much has changed, here. Pretty boring.
*looks around with scornful eyes*
Every villain this side of the Expanse has been wiped out. Guys just couldn't handle me, I guess..
*suddenly, a purple portal opens, and a man in armor with purple eyes walks out*
King: hmm... this place is rather empty.
Vice: its a System with a dying star, most of everything died eons ago. You're invading my home.
King: oho, is this true?
Vice: Yes. Mierno told Hekrom and I to keep an eye out for you. I dont think he likes you very much. I dont like you much, either.
King: ah, that guy? What a chump.
Vice: Yeah, he's weak, but hes a modest man. He means well. You mean war. As much as I like a good fight, I dont wanna fight you right now. I'd like to just get some rest.
King: you don't have much of a choice. I challenge you for this Territory.
Vice: *my face contorts in anger*
you cold, bastard.
King: You know you don't stand a chance. Forfeit to me now, or I'll drag this out.
Vice: You don't know me.
King: you're right, but I have seen you before, and heard your name. The Codex, what an interesting name. Perhaps you could tell me more about it?
Vice: Not in your dreams, loser.
King: oh, Quite on the contrary. I win every time.
