“YOU’RE SENDING ONE OF THE THRACKING MAWLS?!” Lord-Prince Drellix fired like a spear at his elder brother Ventrix, who sat at the head of a long, obsidian-like table in the Conference Room portion of the Decimator.
“I AM,” the Lord-Emperor calmly replied. “Does my choice ‘conflict’ you, Brother Drellix?”
“YOU’RE THRACKING RIGHT IT DOES!!! Why send ONE Mawl to Aeshlara when you could send a hundred? A THRACKING THOUSAND?!?!”
“Because brother… TIS MY WORD. And my word… TRIUMPHS OVER EVERYTHING.”
“Urgh… Tis an unwise move, Ven. We should just mass-jump to Aeshlara… Or ‘Earth’… Or whatever in the THRACK tis called. WHOLE ARMADA AND ALL.”
“Now that would be QUITE unwise, Drellix,” Lord-Prince Axius suddenly uttered from one of the shadow-filled corners of the conference room. “Unwise due to the BLARING FACT that we know absolutely NOTHING about the ‘Humans’ and their unexplored home world.”
Glaring at his older brother with all four of his glowing, blood red eyes, Lord-Prince Drellix snapped, “Speak when you are spoken to, Skogger!”
“DRELLIX, RESTRAIN YOURSELF!!!” Lord-Emperor Vexas yelled at the Lord-Prince, who heeded his word immediately and sat back down in his seat.
Now, with his eyes narrowed, Ventrix continued, “BROTHER AXIUS IS RIGHT, DRELLIX. We know nothing of ‘EARTH’. We know nothing of this world… OR its indigenous population so it would be unwise… No. THRACKING KROONISH of me… THE LORD-EMPEROR to dispatch our empire’s WHOLE ASTRO-NAVAL FLEET to the Saauda Galactic Sector where we could possibly meet an even STRONGER infantry than our own.”
“A STRONGER INFANTRY?!” Drellix blared. “VENTRIX, our army… OUR HORDE is the most powerful militarized force in the whole thracking Known Twenty-Four! NO OTHER RACE CAN MATCH AGAINST OUR UNSTOPPABLE MIGHT!!!”
“Our armies may be the ‘most powerful’ throughout the Known Twenty-Four Galactic Sectors… AND THE WHOLE KNOWN UNIVERSE, brother… BUT AS I JUST SAID: We know nothing about the humans. Going in blind could bring about our own downfall.”
“URGH… TIS MADNESS! AN OUTRAGE!!!”
“No, Drell. Tis logical.”
“Father would never approve of this. If he were alive, you know that he wouldn’t, Ventrix!”
“FATHER IS DEAD!!!” Lord-Emperor Vexas shockingly shouted, causing Lord-Prince Drellix to immediately stop speaking and freeze up in fear.
Smoldering with rage now, Ventrix continued, “His ‘approval’ means THRACKING NOTHING to me.”
Lowering his dual-brow, Drellix harshly claimed, “Well, at least he would’ve had the thracking SCROTE to invade Aeshlara… JUST LIKE HE DID with every other world he invaded during his reign as Lord-Emperor.”
“I AM LORD-EMPEROR!!!” Ventrix blared whilst slamming his fist on the conference tabletop after shooting up from his chair.
Denting the part of the table where his fist had struck, Ventrix kept his four flaring eyes on Drellix, who fearfully ‘shivered’ under his intense gaze.
“Bruh-Brother… Grandest apologies,” Lord-Prince Drellix stammered like a fumbling, SCROTELESS coward. “I… I did not mean to--”
“SILENCE!!! Shut your thracking mouth, Drellix, before I shut it for you! PERMANENTLY!!!”
Sealing his lips, Drellix looked downwards as Ventrix continued, “I am the Lord-Emperor now! ME!!! Not father NOR ANYONE ELSE! SO, when I give an order tis FINAL! Tis shall NOT be changed unless I make it thracking so!!!”
Looking at his younger, mohawked brother once more, Ventrix demanded fiercely, “IS THAT UNDERSTOOD, DRELLIX?!”
“Yuh-Yes, Your Majesty,” Drellix stammered as he still kept his head and eyes lowered.
Narrowing his eyes even more than they already were, the Lord-Emperor continued, “NEXT TIME, if you kroonishly wish to challenge my word again, brother, then I hope you have your Pulsar Sabers wielded and at the ready… BECAUSE YOU SHALL NEED THEM!”
Drellix looked away from his elder brother now once as Lord-Prince Axius smirked.
Angered still, Ventrix let out a scream of rage before picking up his Pulsar Lancer that he had rested at his side and STORMING OUT of the Conference Room.
“Grand work, Drell,” Axius snidely remarked in Ventrix’s wake. “Now you have angered him. Do you know what this means?”
“THRACK OFF!” the Mohawked Vexan Lord-Prince shouted before he too stormed out of the room in frustration, leaving only Axius behind… TO SNICKER.

“HA-HA-HA!!!” Lord-Prince Titanus Vexas cackled as he prodded the imprisoned Guardinian Lord-King Luxor Pronos in the chest with an Electro-Shock Baton.
The bloodied and bruised Guardinian Royal was still restrained in the Extraction Room section of the Decimator.
Literally TAINTED with severe wounds all over his body, the fallen Lord-King was barely clinging onto life as the giant-like, dull-minded Vexan Royal continued to mercilessly prod him as if he were cattle.

“WHAT’S WRONG, PRONOS???” Lord-Prince Titanus asked King Luxor after he shocked him once more for the TENTH time. “Aren’t you having fun yet? BECAUSE I AM! HA-HA!!!”
ZAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!
“AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!” King Luxor cried out as the main doors to the Extraction Room suddenly slid open.
STORMING THROUGH the recently opened doorway was Lord-Emperor Vexas.
“TITANUS… STAND ASIDE!” Ventrix sternly commanded as his simple-minded, youngest brother pulled the Electro-Baton away from King Luxor’s smoldering body.
“BUT WHY, BROTHER?” Lord-Prince Titanus asked in a disheartened tone. “I was just getting started with having fun.”
“DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS! Do as I command, you mindless raxx-brain!”
Lowering his horn-head, Lord-Prince Titanus skulked away sadly as the Lord-Emperor ripped the Electro-Shock Baton out of his massive left hand.
Turning to face the dangling and half-dead Guardinian Lord-King now, Ventrix shouted, “Awaken, Pronos… THRACKING AWAKEN!!!”
Faintly hearing the Lord-Emperor’s barking orders, King Luxor passed out from being electrocuted so many times.
This made Ventrix VERY unsettled with him.
Reactivating the Electro-Shock Baton, Ventrix shouted as its tip crackled and popped with violent electrostatic volts, “AWAKEN!!!!!!!!”
Ventrix then pressed the tip of the baton up against the center of King Luxor’s bare and bruised chest, sending thousands of volts of electricity right through his system.
ZAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!
“AAAAGGGHHHH!!!” a ‘jolted’ awake King Luxor suddenly cried out as the Lord-Emperor glared up at him.
Pulling the Electro-Baton away from the fallen king’s smoking, charred flesh, Lord-Emperor Vexas said, “GRAND. Now that I have your attention, Pronos, I wish to tell you something of a grand importance.”
Looking down at the Vexan Lord-Emperor with his weary, nearly swollen shut eyes, King Luxor breathlessly muttered, “Huff… Huff… If… If you are going to kill me. Huff… Huff… Huff… Just do it already.”
“Oh, Pronos… As much as I would LOVE to put an end to your WORTHLESS THRACKING LIFE-CYCLE I must detest… FOR NOW.”
“I shall… Huff… Huff… Tuh-Tell you… Huff… Huff… Huff… NOTHING.”
“I KNOW, THRACKER… But fret not, because I ALREADY KNOW where the Pyramid currently resides.”
King Luxor’s eyes suddenly shot open in terror as Ventrix sinisterly snickered, “Heh, heh, heh… Tis what I wished to tell you, Pronos. Heh, heh… I FINALLY know of the Unlimited Power Source’s TRUE location. Tis being HARBORED on a planet known as ‘Aeshlara’... EARTH by TWO Guardinian Refugees. SURVIVORS OF THE INVASION AND DECIMATION OF GUARDINAS. They be the Last Guardian Warrior and the LADY-PRINCESS of Guardinas… YOUR DAUGHTER.”
“URGH-GAH! NO!!!” King Luxor painfully cried out as Ventrix started laughing maniacally at him and his plight. “URGH… VEXAS! If you harm my daughter OR the Last Guardian, then I shall… AAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!”
“You are in NO POSITION to make any ‘threats’ towards me, Pronos,” the Lord-Emperor firmly stated after brutally shocking the fallen king in the chest again with the Electro-Baton.
As King Luxor dangled from his restraints above the Lord-Emperor, Drellix and Axius had just entered the room.
They both joined their younger brother Titanus with looks of surprise on their faces as they watched their eldest sibling brutally torture the imprisoned Guardinian Royal.
“Now that my forces and I know where the Pyramid is, we shall stop at NOTHING to reclaim what was stolen from our people so long ago,” Ventrix sternly informed King Luxor.
“Huff… Huff… The Pyramid belongs to no one,” King Luxor stated truthfully in a dead-like tone.
“YOU ARE WRONG, GUARDINIAN-SKOGGER! The Pyramid BELONGS to the Vexan Empire! Tis ALWAYS had until your cursed thracking kind STOLE IT from us!”
“Huff… Huff… Kroonish childling. We did not ‘steal’ the Pyramid of Power. Huff… Huff… FROM ANYONE. Huff… Huff… Huff… ‘Twas the HIGH-ELDERS who STRIPPED IT from your father because he abused its wondrous powers. Huff… Huff… They stripped it from his wicked clutches and bestowed it upon a race who needed it more. Huff… Huff… For the RIGHT reasons. Huff… Huff… Huff… MY RACE.”
“Well, Pronos… The Guardinian scum are NO MORE… For I have wiped your WHOLE THRACKING RACE from existence!!!”
“No… YOU HAVE NOT, VEXAS. Huff… Huff… My daughter still lives… as does her protector: THE BLUE GUARDIAN.”
Lord-Drellix then clenched his prosthetic, mechanical hand upon hearing the cursed warrior’s official title.
Gritting his filed teeth, Ventrix wordlessly prodded King Luxor with the Electro-Shock again for a third time.
“AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!”
Whilst the fallen lord-king’s body writhed with visible bolts of electricity coursing through every square inch of it, Ventrix furiously fumed, “I SHALL DESTROY HIM!!! I SHALL DESTROY HIM AS I DID WITH ALL OF THE THRACKING OTHER GUARDIAN WRETCHES!!!!”
As the three Vexan Lord-Princes watched their eldest brother from behind in shocked silence, the enraged Vexan Lord-Emperor continued, “And after I destroy the Last Guardian, I shall then DESTROY YOUR DAUGHTER! AND THEN, after that, Pronos, I shall DECIMATE the Earth! THEN, once all of the death and destruction has ended, I shall FINALLY use the Pyramid’s UNLIMITED POWER to ascend myself to godhood and RULE THE WHOLE KNOWN THRACKING UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!”
Whilst King Luxor continued to be electrocuted, Ventrix cried out with his brothers watching from behind him still, “AND NO ONE SHALL BE ABLE TO STOP ME!!! NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
