“Welcome to earth's favorite talk show! I'm your host Orion Vega and tonight we have to amazing guests coming straight from the depths of time. Please put your hands together fooorrr... Lucy the Australopithecus and Genghis Khan!

The audience cheered.

Two portals opened in front of the couch situated next to the host's desk. The two guests emerged.

“Welcome! It's great having you here.” Orion motioned for them to take a seat. “Please.”

The guests ignored him —choosing to maintain direct eye contact among themselves.

They began circling each other.

Lucy threw a punch, Genghis Khan caught it with the palm of his hand.

“I see your Kung Fu is as weak as ever,” he said.

Lucy grunted.

The Khan smirked.

Orion hid behind his desk.

The battle was on.
