Enemy Empire Page #7

The West is your only hope.

I have a man from the West coming, sir.

He'll supply you with new goggles.

Put the device on.

I can do this forever.

Ahh, again?

Don't you see how this works?

You need me!

I make this world turn.

(laughs) The world is big!

And you are tiny.

If you don't stop what you're doing,

you're not gonna like where you end up.

And break my promise?

He needs me!

Why?

You look like everybody else.

Sir...

This is your dream.

This is Paradise.

I don't want a revolving kingdom!

This ends now.

We could change the cycle, modify it.

You could live out other fantasies.

Get out of my face.

No, no, not the water!

What have you done?!

My devices will be ruined!

Cleo says you travel a lot.

Is that right?

You wanna go somewhere?

Yeah.

Oraculum sacrum veniet nos

comtua sepientia duchee!

Sepientia ducae.

(growling)

Sepenchia duchee.

Sepientia ducae.

That's what we said!

No, it isn't.

You said this would work.

Shame, looks like we'll

have to kill you after all.

That'll probably make

her visit us right quick.

Try it again!

Oraculum sacrum veniet

nos comtua sepientia ducae.

(sneezes)

Hell with it.

You can do it, you're doing good.

Oraculum sacrum veniet

nos comtua sepientia ducae.

B*tch come here!

Sorry luv, that plan's bollocks.

We'll make this quick.

(yelps)

Sorry.

Ow!

Not exactly going quick, is it?

Hold on.

(sneezes) Useless piece of equipment.

You don't have to take it personally.

Maybe you could just

quickly dehydrate for us.

What are you running

around with Sol for anyway?

It's pointless to fall in love these days.

And if Sol is still alive, he's

probably selling you out somewhere.

No he isn't.

Darling, what's the point?

Hope is the major prerequisite of misery.

It takes days to dehydrate, doesn't it?

There's got to be an easier way

than this to establish disgusting

quantities of wealth and power.

If only there was a way

to do it from a hammock.

You don't strike me as the

take over the world type.

Not take over, rule.

(laughs) There's a big difference.

Taking over takes all the work!

Somebody else does that.

Contractors likely.

We simply rule over a previously

conquered Empire from a quiet den.

Let's walk to The Oracle.

[Oracle] There they are.

[Sol] You're not interested in

letting The Witch Warrior find you?

Just because I haven't died yet

doesn't mean I wanna push my luck.

What's going to happen

to The Empire without me?

Oh, I think we'll survive.

Here, Cleo will love these.

I've got one better.

She loves these flowers.

Take the shoes, trust me.

I'm sorry I took your head off.

How'd you come back?

What good is an Oracle

if she tells her secrets?

You think anyone can do what I do?

Now go.

You kids are a long time away from

happiness and babies, nothing's over yet.

Happiness and what?

Have you heard of The Isle De Roca?

You mean the secret island

of Lemorian survivors.

Home to untold tons of wealth?

We might have.

[Cleo] If I gave you a map to it,

would you forget about

The Oracle and let me go?

[Warrior] So you can go after Sol?

Are you trying to make

more trouble for yourself?

Yes.

Think we could pay someone

to take this bomb off?

Fine, you produce this map, you're

free to get yourself

killed by someone else.

Hmmm, this is better

than ruling The Empire.

We could buy a whole country and retire.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Get going then...

Oh, bugger!

But I had it under control.

I know what I'm doing.

Oh sh...

(groaning)

What's going on?

No one's ever escape The King, ever!

Well he couldn't have escaped unless

he killed The King, right?

Of course right, so you must've killed him.

And killing The King means

you've become The King.

So you are The King now!

You're actually on the right track.

All right.

[Cleo] Really?

Okay, you have to listen to him.

In theory, yes, but, you know,

unless I replace him...

Wealth, power.

You can have it all!

My wonderful kingdom of dirt, take it.

It doesn't work like that.

You see, you have to die,

or someone will find out.

I can keep a secret.

(laughing, coughing)

Fight me.

What...

(action music)

(growling)

Ah, oooh, ah, ah!

[Warrior] To the death!

You will die so we can be King!

In just a minute.

Catch us!

We don't have to.

We will pay every assassin

on Earth to find you.

Everywhere you go, your

names will be known.

Even the West won't take you in

because whoever takes

you in will be murdered.

Their children will be murdered.

Anyone who sees your face and doesn't

try to kill you will be murdered.

There will be no end to your suffering.

So fight me.

Fight me.

Fight me!

(sneezes)

Does he count?

Fight me!

Come on, fight me, fight me!

Fight me!

(buzzing, whirring)

(machine running)

(crunching)

Now look what you've done!

It is extremely uncomfortable.

Cleo, come here.

Get us out and you can have the map back.

We're not going to explode, see?

Right, one last thing, you're dead!

(beep)

Oh...

(coughing)

(machine running)

Oh no, that's terrible inconvenient.

(dramatic music)

(muffled gasp)

(machine whirring, crunching)

(beep)

(beep)

Don't worry about the

gas, sir, it's temporary.

You and The Oracle just had

to get involved, didn't you?

Women, I swear they'll be the death of me.

(zapping)

Here we go, okay, okay.

(fizzes out)

Got it... Gah!

I'll have to reset you at my outpost.

What the...

Oh, ooo, you almost took him away from me.

And you killed my Witch Warrior!

I really liked that one.

You love Sol, don't you?

When the paralysis wears off, I

hope you come find him.

See, I'm resetting his memory.

You'll be a stranger to him.

In fact, he'll probably kill you.

I want you to understand this.

Whatever you and The Oracle think

you've accomplished, I'm undoing it.

Come on, Sol, let's get you back home.

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

(phone ringing)

Hello?

[Oracle] Sweetheart!

(eerie music)

Whoever you are, you

don't belong in that chair!

Get out!

Hello!

Get off there!

Yeah, I'm talking to you.

But I have to sit down.

I hurt my leg, see?

My daddy made that crutch for me.

What are you doing with it?

He tried to take it away too,

but I wanted to dance with it.

He asked me what kind of dancing do I do.

So I showed him, I showed him good.

I danced with Daddy.

Would you like to dance with me?

The Oracle said you would.

Absolutely not!

The King may return at

any moment, so get...

Ooooooh...

You get off there!

Mmmmm, no.

You do as I say!

No.

(gasp)

(yelp)

Disobeying me...

Is the same as disobeying The King himself.

Ah, ahhh!

(giggling)

I got your spine, didn't I?

Ooooo...

We can dance for a long time now.

(harmonic music)

[Cleo] Sol!

Who are you?

How do you know my name?

It's me, Cleo.

You know me.

Lady, I don't know you.

Did he fix your eyes?

Can you see my face with those eyes?

I can see your face.

Look, I'm sure you're a lovely

woman, but I don't have time for you.

Wait, don't you at
