[English]

Here's what I want to know.

[power force sound]

Who are you?

I am

The God of

Thunder! [metal cuff sound]

[electric static]

Wow.

Wow. I didn't hear any thunder.

But out of your fingers, was that like

sparkles?

We've

located your cousin. [electric force sound]

Uh. Oh, good.

Yeah. Come on. I think you're gonna like this. [chair whirring]

There he is.

Hey, cuz.

We almost couldn't couldn't find you. [chair slows to a stop]

Where've you been hiding?

[whispers] Hi.

[whimpering]

Hmm. So.

Please. I'm sorry.

Carlo,

I pardon you.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

You're officially pardoned

from life.

[screaming]

Someone

help me!

Oh my

God.

I'm stepping up. I'm stepping in it. Look.

Wow.

Oh! The smell.

What does it smell like?

Burnt toast.

[chuckles]

What happened to my manners?

Uh, I haven't properly introduced myself.

Come on. Uh.

Follow me.

My name is Grandmaster.

I preside over little harlequinade called

the Contest of Champions.

People come from far and wide to unwillingly

participate in it. And you, my friend, might

just be part of the new cast.

What do you say to that?

We're not friends and I don't give a stitch

about your games. I'm going back to Asgard.

Asgard?

One. Two. Three. Four.

[alien music plays]

♪ There's a wormhole in space and time ♪♪

And in that moment, I let go.

Loki?

Loki! Loki! Over here.

I'm here.

[chuckles] Give me one sec.

Loki.

Shh shh shh shh.

What?

You're alive?

Yes, of course I'm alive.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean, what am I doing?

I'm stuck in this stupid chair.

Where's your chair?

I didn't get a chair.

Get me out of this one.

I can't.

Get me out.

I can't. I made friends with this man. He's called Grandmaster.

Oh. He's crazy.

I've gained his favor.

The Bi-Frost brought me out here weeks ago.

Weeks ago? Yes.

I just got here.

What are you whispering about?

Ah!

Time works real different around these parts? On any other world, I'd be like a

millions of years old here on Sakaar.

In any case, you know, this, uh, this, uh,

you call yourself a Lord of Thunder.

God of Thunder.

Tell him.

I've never met this man in my life.

He's my brother.

Adopted.

Is he any kind of a fighter?

[chuckles] You take this thing out of my neck and I'll show you.

Oh, listen to that. He's threatening me.

Hey, sparkles, here's the deal.

You want to get back to As uh place. Asberg.

Asgard!

Any contender who defeats my champion, their freedom, they shall win.

Fine, then point me in the direction of

whoever's ass I have to kick.

That's what I call contender.

Direction would be

would be this way, Lord. [click]

Ah. Loki! [chair whirring]

[door slam]

[pound]

Hey hey hey, hey, take it easy, man.

Over here. 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. Uh, 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. He he.

Just a little rock, paper, scissors 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?

That I am.

How'd you end up in here?

Oh, 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.

His punishment, I was forced to be in here

and become a gladiator. A 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?

Uh, how did you-

Uh, yeah. Nah. This whole thing is a circle,

but not a real circle.

More like a freaky circle.

This doesn't make any sense.

No, nothing makes sense here, man. The only thing that

does make sense is that nothing makes sense.

Does anyone here for the Grandmaster's champion?

Doug has. Doug!

Oh, right. Doug's dead.

That's right. Everyone who fights the Grandmaster's champion perishes.

What about you? You're made of rocks.

Perishable rock. Oh Okay.

Another one gone. Yeah.

No, I just do the smaller fights, warm up

the crowd and what not.

Wait, wait. You're not going to face him,

are you?

Yes, I am.

I'm gonna fight him, win,

and get the hell out of this place!

That's exactly what Doug used to say.

See you later, new Doug.
