The guards threw Thor into the cell and shut the door. Thor got up and banged on the door.

"Hey. Take it easy, man. Over here," a rock man named Korg said, making Thor turn toward him and another alien, then he continued, introducing his friend at the end, "The pile of rocks waving at you. Here. Yeah, I'm actually a thing. I'm a being. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Korg. I'm kind of like the leader in here. I'm made of rocks, as you can see. But don't let that intimidate you. You don't need to be afraid unless you're made of scissors. Just a little rock-paper-scissor joke for you. This is my very good friend over here, Miek. He's an insect and has knives for hands."

"You're a Kronan, aren't you?" Thor asked as they started walking.

"That I am," Korg answered.

"How'd you end up in here?" Thor wondered.

"Well, I tried to start a revolution, but didn't print enough pamphlets. So hardly anyone turned up, except for my mum and her boyfriend, who I hate. As punishment, I was forced to be in here and become a gladiator. Bit of a promotional disaster, that one. But I'm actually organizing another revolution. I don't know if you'd be interested in something like that. Do you reckon you'd be interested?" Korg explained.

During his explanation, Thor sprinted ahead, but ended up right behind Korg.

"How did you..." he trailed off, confused.

"Yeah, no. This whole thing is a circle. But not a real circle, more like a freaky circle," Korg answered.

"This doesn't make any sense," Thor commented.

"No, nothing makes sense here, man. The only thing that does make sense is that nothing makes sense," Korg agreed.

"Has anyone here fought the Grandmaster's champion?" Thor wondered.

"Doug has. Doug!" Korg called then remembered, "Our luck, Doug's dead. That's right. Everyone who fights the Grandmaster's champion perishes."

"What about you? You're made of rocks," Thor pointed out.

"Perishable rock. There you go. Another one gone," Korg remarked as bits of rock fell off him, then said, "Yeah, no, I just do the smaller fights, warm up the crowd and whatnot. Wait. You're not gonna face him, are you?"

"Yes, I am. Gonna fight him, win, and get the hell out of this place," Thor answered then walked away.

"That's exactly what Doug used to say. See you later, new Doug," Korg smiled.
