Heed me, people of Earth! Thus have I banished these pretenders to my throne-- Thus have I vanquished your mightiest champion! Send forth your heroes, my people-- If you can! Ne'er has Alexander shrunk from any challenge... Nor shall he now! Understand that I shall rule you in a manner fair and just-- But too will I rain destruction upon those who resist! Surrender now and you shall live in peace and contentment evermore! Resist... And die!
