A group of troll warriors rush ahead of the massive troll army and quickly set up a podium outside the front gates of the Chaos Kingdom.

Kaos strides up the steps with his head held high, Glumshanks right behind him holding his robe up so as to not drag across the ground.

He looks up at the golden gates in front of him and growls, "Chaos Kingdom! How did I not think of that name!"

"I don't know, sir." Glumshanks answers, handing him the megaphone.

"Ugh! Fire everyone in charge of the idea committee, they are officially useless!"

"I'll get right on it, sir."

"Good!" Kaos turns his attention to the gates once more. He raises the megaphone to his mouth. "ATTENTION PHONY KING OF CHAOS! YOUR SO CALLED RULE OVER MISCHIEF AND MAYHEM HAS COME TO AN END. YOU WILL CEASE THE USE OF THIS BOGUS TITLE OR FACE THE WRATH OF MY COPYRIGHT! NOW SURRENDER YOUR CROWN AND GO STEAL SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME!"

Kaos lowers the megaphone, waiting expectantly for the Chaos King to emerge. A moment passes and nothing happens.

Kaos spares a glance back at the troll army as they grow a tad restless. He then gives the megaphone a quick shake before raising it to his mouth again. "HELLO? HELLOOO?? IS THIS THING WORKING?" He screams into it directly next to Glumshanks' ear.

The troll butler takes a step, somewhat dazed. "Oh, I think it's working, Master Kaos."

"Then why has he not surrendered yet?!"

"Maybe he doesn't want to," Glumshanks suggests.

Kaos frowns. "Army! Bring out... The Copyright Striker!!!"

A large cannon is rolled out beside the podium. An image of a 'C' within a circle is painted on it. Next to that in bright red letters is DOOMBRINGER for MONSTERS who COPYRIGHT ANTAGONISTS!

"Fire!!!"

The Copyright Striker obliterates the gates. As the smoke clears, Kaos leads his armies towards the castle.

After losing a few trolls in the hedge maze, they arrive at the open doors of the castle. Kaos enters first, finding the King of Chaos lounging comfortably on a great throne of spikes.

"YOU!" Kaos fumes. "HOW DARE YOU NAME YOURSELF THE KING OF ME, YOU FILTHY, FLEA-RIDDEN MUTT!!"

The Chaos King smiles as he continues his rant. "I SERVE NOBODY! DO YOU HEAR THAT? NOBODY! I AM THE KING OF MYSELF AND I DEMAND PENANCE AND YOUR SUBSERVIENCE!!!

The King of Chaos abruptly rises from his throne. Kaos takes a quick step back in fear, before returning to his arrogant stance.

The wolfman smiles. "Okay."

Kaos's eyebrows went up. "Okay? O-Kay?"

"Yes."

Kaos casts a confused look at Glumshanks. He looks back up at the Chaos King. "Okay," he claps his hands together. "Uh... for your penance, you will... erm... give me this castle!"

The King of Chaos nods, slowly striding down the steps leading up to his throne. "The castle's yours, along with anything else you want. The details can be worked out momentarily, but first... I have a pitch you might want to hear out."

Again, Kaos raises his eyebrows.

"You see," the Chaos King continues. "I think we could come to an accord and combine our efforts.  Together, we could do some very chaotic things."

"I am not...opposed to that idea," Kaos admits. "But why should I work with you when you're calling yourself the 'King of Chaos', eh?!"

"Like I said," The Chaos King gestures to his side. "I'm sure we can reach an accord."
