1. Lords and Ladies of the Empire,
welcome!
Copy !req
2. Space,
once an unreachable frontier,
Copy !req
3. is now a dazzling playground
for Earth's children.
Copy !req
4. And so, we gather here,
above the frozen skies of Jupiter...
Copy !req
5. to witness the sacred union
Copy !req
6. of our glorious regent,
Copy !req
7. Lord Chalon of Europa,
Copy !req
8. and the Duchess Saraka of Callisto.
Copy !req
9. Their love must be tempered
with ritual and ceremony,
Copy !req
10. shaped in the crucible of chaos...
Copy !req
11. and sanctified with blood,
Copy !req
12. blood spilled in tribute
on these sands below.
Copy !req
13. Tonight, you will witness
a spectacle like no other.
Copy !req
14. Behold the riders.
Copy !req
15. Are they not
absolutely magnificent?
Copy !req
16. Years of discipline and training
Copy !req
17. have forged them into the perfect warriors
you see before you.
Copy !req
18. Champions honed to a razor's edge,
Copy !req
19. each blessed with the strength
and ferocity of their totem spirit.
Copy !req
20. My sigil
marks me as wild and untamed.
Copy !req
21. It is a secret prayer,
my longing to be free.
Copy !req
22. To those
who are about to die,
Copy !req
23. we salute you.
Copy !req
24. Now let the race begin!
Copy !req
25. Everything
that does not please our overlords
Copy !req
26. has been stripped away.
Copy !req
27. In the darkness above Europa,
they take everything from us.
Copy !req
28. A wolf alone can be outrun,
out-fought, out-maneuvered.
Copy !req
29. But the wolf pack
is an apex predator.
Copy !req
30. Yeah!
Copy !req
31. The aristocracy
mate for money and power.
Copy !req
32. But we who can own nothing...
Copy !req
33. have something real,
something primal, something true.
Copy !req
34. She is magnificent.
Copy !req
35. Whoo! Yeah.
Copy !req
36. Was that not glorious?
Copy !req
37. A contest of heroes
worthy of this celestial union.
Copy !req
38. But for this most special occasion,
Copy !req
39. we have something more,
Copy !req
40. a final challenge to test our champion
Copy !req
41. against nature's most
savagely primal creation.
Copy !req
42. Fuck!
Copy !req
43. Turn! You big bastard!
Copy !req
44. My lords,
this carnage is no end...
Copy !req
45. - It is a beginning.
Copy !req
46. This King of the ancient world
gives us the gift
Copy !req
47. of his matchless vitality.
Copy !req
48. In his veins flows the power primordial...
Copy !req
49. as it will now flow
into those of our sovereigns,
Copy !req
50. so that they may write
our future in blood.
Copy !req
51. The Tyrannosaur
no longer screams.
Copy !req
52. He has had his fill of blood.
Copy !req
53. But you up there...
Copy !req
54. you will never have enough.
Copy !req
55. Come... let us end this our way.
Copy !req
56. - [screams, grunts]
Copy !req
57. In the darkness above Europa...
Copy !req
58. they take everything from us,
Copy !req
59. even our memories.
Copy !req
60. Yet some fragments linger...
Copy !req
61. like the last leaves of autumn.
Copy !req
62. Among the blossoms,
Copy !req
63. I am alone with my wine.
Copy !req
64. Lifting my cup,
I ask the moon to drink with me.
Copy !req
65. Its reflection in the wine,
with mine, just we three.
Copy !req
