[By now everything should be in place. All the bombs should have been planted and the package should be en route to or already in Ecruteak. So with everything ready and zero chance of failure, the Commander begins the video, showing himself sitting in the giant oversized snake throne he received for Christmas.]

Before I begin, I would like to clear up a misssconception from my last attack. That being the idea that I am without allies. What I have done today I could not have done alone. I’ll leave it to you people to figure out who could have helped me with sssssuch a thing.

And what thing is that you ask? It’s sssimple really. I said that if my demands weren’t met, there would be more attacks, and they definitely were not meant. And thissss is no gas attack, no this is something worse. Much worse!

[The Commander gets up and grabs something from off camera, before sitting down again. After taking his seat, he holds it up to the camera. It’s a very ordinary looking remote.]

A ssssingle use of this remote will detonate the bombs my associates have placed in the Game Corner unless my demands are met! Cede Cianwood City to me and place a bag with one million dollars the HM for Fly on the roof of the Department Store within the next 24 hours or your precioussss casino gets reduced to rubble!

[The Commander starts laughing, only to stop after a minute and point his finger towards the camera.]

And to those of you who think you’ll stop me, don’t even try it! Not if you value your lives! As we ssspeak one of you is about to be dealt with! And he doesn't even know it! Sssso stay away from the Game Corner or you’ll be next!

That's...that's utterly despicable! Stop endangering innocent people, you bastard!

Innocents? I don't care about innocents! Give me what I want or I'll blow them all to ssssmithereens!

Why, so you can pull another stunt like this the next time you want something? Appeasement only emboldens the appeased!

That may be true, but if you don't give in, then I'll just attack again! Are you really willing to risk that?

The possibility exists, but if your plans keep on getting foiled, sooner or later you'll either get caught or realize the futility of your actions.

[Realize the futility of his actions? He laughs at the very thought. If he had done that, he would've stopped trying to take over the world years ago.]

If anything failure only encourages me to try harder! And even if I were to somehow get caught, which is impossible, I'd be out sooner than you think! There's no prison on Earth that could hold Cobra Commander!

Then you're nothing more than a mere terrorist. I've beaten enemies who were more than that.

Nothing more? Let's get something straight. I am a terrorist, but I doubt you've ever faced anyone like me!

[The whole mere thing definitely struck a nerve.]

I know of an entire nation back home whose inhabitants possess more talent than you.

[And he's being dead serious.]

Give up your delusions of grandeur. You won't get what you want.

So what? They're not here, and you have no idea how much talent I possess! Or how much my assssociates have!

Conversely, you have no idea what I've had to deal with, or who else from my world is here.

I may not know who else from your world is here, or what you've dealt with in your world, but I do know what you've had to deal with here in Johto!

[Which is sort of half bluffing, half not.]

I've been here a long time, and I've seen how you heroic types react to things like thissss! We both know I have nothing to worry about from the likes of you or from anyone else!

...And yet here I am, still standing. Furthermore, the fact that you're demanding the same thing as last time is just proof that what you've done in the past hasn't worked in your favor.

You're not the only one who has been here a long time. I've been here since before the big flood, and I've stood through every trial that has been thrown my way -- by you or by anybody else. I have no doubt in my mind that your plan isn't going to work this time.

That's because I haven't had a reason to change that! Keep running your mouth and we'll see if you're still standing by the time I'm through with you!

And if it doesn't work this time, then the next plan will!

[He's determined to have the last word here.]

Fine. Then this conversation is over. I hope you've learned some humility by the next time we speak.

[With that, Athrun hangs up. He has work to do.]

The only one who needs to learn some hum-

[Dial tone.

He'll just scream at the Gear for a few minutes before moving on to his next call. How dare someone get the last word on him.]
