In a quarry, Velvette and Lute wake up to find themselves tied up together on a wooden pole.
Sergeant Tread: (mockingly) Hello, ladies, feeling a bit tied up, I see?
Lute and Velvette look around, seeing a group of grinders and random demons scattered around the area.
Sergeant Tread: (mockingly) Looks like you two got yourselves into quite the predicament. Don't worry, I'll make sure you have a front-row seat to the big show.
Voice: (sternly) Sergeant Tread.
Sergeant Tread turns around to see Professor Cog behind him.
Sergeant Tread: (surprised) Yes, Professor?
Professor Cog: (calmly) I was not aware we were keeping prisoners.

Sergeant Tread: (calmly) Well, considering we're gonna be out here in the cold for the night, I thought we could use some entertainment.
Professor Cog approaches Lute and Velvette, his gaze cold and calculating as he assesses the situation.
Professor Cog: (stoically) And what entertainment do you propose, Sergeant?
Sergeant Tread: (smirking) How about a little game, Professor? I've always been a fan of games.
Professor Cog: (curiously) Go on.
Sergeant Tread gestures to Lute and Velvette, who are bound to the wooden pole, their expressions defiant despite their predicament.
Sergeant Tread: (grinning) We let these two fight for their freedom. If they win, they go free. If they lose, well...
Professor Cog considers the proposal for a moment, his mechanical brain processing the potential outcomes with efficiency.
Professor Cog: (calmly) Intriguing idea. I suppose the Queen won't mind if we use these two for entertainment.

As the two villains talk, Velvette and Lute whisper to each other.
Velvette: (whispering) Did they say the queen? They're not talking about... you know who.
