"It's an insult to common decency to afford honor in battle to one that uses strength only to harm others. To offer a duel to a beast that truly thinks only of it's own station in things, and let such a thing continue to draw breath..that is an affront I do not care to watch any longer."

Chaos was giggling like a schoolchild at the proceedings, taking much enjoyment. 

"Someone give that clown a medal of comedy! That shit's gold..hm, wonder if the lube's flamable. Hey, Venus de milo? Any thoughts in that empty headlocking brain on that? No? What about if I said I was getting bored and..oh, goody. Just enough  wiggle room to twitch my middle fingers and cover this place with a f**k y'all blanket of lava."
