[Cobra Commander had planned for this video to be a triumphant announcement of his new alliance with the Fuchsia City Gym. However, since that didn’t happen, any viewers will be greeted by Cobra screaming at the Gear. The background is partially obscured by one of the segments making up his Steelix’s body, but he’s definitely outside.]

I cannot believe thisssss! How dare they! How dare they laugh at me! Is this thing recording? Good! I would like all of you to watch what happens next! Burn thisss into your memory because thisss is what will eventually happen to everyone who dares make a mockery of Cobra Commander! Vilevole! Charge! Ram that building!

[That Steelix is moving, and even though he already announced the target, Cobra turns the camera to show that it’s on a collision course with the Fuchsia City Gym.]

Now! Blow that place to bits! Explosion!

[Once Steelix hits the building, it starts glowing and then…BOOM! The building’s clearly not blown to bits, but Cobra’s still going to consider it a job well done. He’ll just turn the camera back to himself and laugh before ending the feed.]

{OOC: Here’s the Gym attack that was mentioned here! Also for the most part, Cobra will be responding via audio since he doesn’t want anyone to see what direction he’s fleeing in.}

[Congrats, Commander. You have one properly astounded girl on the line.

If nothing else.]

-what was the point of that?

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

What do you mean what was the point of that? Wasn't it obvioussss?

audio

[teablossom]

No, it isn't- Why are you destroying that building? What prompted you?

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

What prompted me? You want to know what prompted me? They dared to make fun of me! That's what prompted me to do sssuch a thing!

audio

[teablossom]

-and how does destroying their building answer that?

Did they belittle your skills in demolition?

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

No! Of course not! But attacking the building shows them that they should refrain from insulting me in the future unlessss they want another attack! Or worse!

audio

[teablossom]

So. You threaten them into silence, and the problem will just go away.

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Exactly! They can sssshut up now, or next time I'll shut them up! Forever!

[And he's starting up with the evil laughter now.]

audio

[teablossom]

[And she just nods - unseen - through the laughter.]

Yes- If it works, they'll stay quiet, and you won't have to face them again.

How relieving.

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

It's not that I'll have to face them. Rather, it's they who will have to contend with me!

audio

[teablossom]

How so? Are you planning to sweep down their building again?

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Perhapsssss. Or perhaps it will be worse next time!

[And he's laughing again.]

audio

[teablossom]

Something tells me they'll be keeping an eye out for it.

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

And something tells me that I don't care!

audio

[teablossom]

So, you care a great deal about how they speak of you, but not about what they'll do to counter this.

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yess, that's right.

[He's not seeing a problem here.]
