The scene is serene, the night sky twinkling with a million stars. 

The warm glow of a campfire illuminates the resting forms of EDWARD's APE FRIENDS and North Korean War Criminal.

The only sound is the gentle crackling of the flames and the soft breathing of the slumbering group.

Suddenly, EDWARD stirs, his eyes wide open. With a determined expression, he rises slowly, glancing at his resting comrades before locking onto the camera with an intense gaze.

He moves closer, towering over the lens, his face lit by the flickering firelight.

"EDWARD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY! THUNDER KNUCKLE... YOU NOT FIT TO LEAD. YOU WEAK. YOU COWARDLY. YOU SELFISH."

He pauses for a moment, his eyes narrowing. "THUNDER KNUCKLE ALWAYS THINK OF HIMSELF. ALWAYS PUT HIMSELF FIRST. HE TAKE EASY PATH. HE PLAY MIND GAMES. HE USE AMBUSH. HE NOT FIGHT WITH HONOR."

EDWARD's face contorts with anger. "AT CORE, THUNDER KNUCKLE JUST MOUTH. MOUTH THAT SPEAK AND SPEAK."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE SPEAK MUCH."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE TALK OF SAVAGE."

"OF BIG SHOW."

"BUT WHAT THUNDER KNUCKLE DO? WHERE THUNDER KNUCKLE BEEN? HIDING? STRONGEST WARRIOR, EDWARD, HERE. EDWARD FIGHT. EDWARD DEFEND ANARCHY SHINY FOR MANY-MANY MOONS."

"EVERY TIME, EDWARD STAND TALL."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE, YOU CALL ANARCHY LESSER?"

"EDWARD REMIND YOU, EDWARD HERE. EDWARD FIGHT."

"EDWARD DEFEND SHINY!"

"DEFEND FRIENDS"

"DEFEND TRIBE FROM BAD MEN LIKE YOU!"

"THAT MORE THAN THUNDER KNUCKLE DO."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE BEEN WHERE? NOT XWF."

EDWARD pauses, taking a deep breath, recalling his harrowing journey through Hell and Tromaville, only to realize both were the same inferno.

"HELL?"

"EDWARD BEEN THERE TOO, NOW!"

"EDWARD LEARN HOW TO DEFEAT UNDEAD GUARD."

"THAT KNOWLEDGE WILL PROVE VALUABLE IN FIGHT."

"EDWARD TRAVEL TO HELL TO LEARN UNDEAD GUARD'S SECRETS."

"WHILE THERE, EDWARD HEAR STORIES, OF HOW THUNDER KNUCKLE BRING NOTHING BUT PAIN AND SUFFERING."

"GOOD THING HIM ONLY HERE A LITTLE."

"SPEND MUCH TIME IN OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING BATTLEGROUND. DO SAME THING ACCUSE EDWARD OF. FIGHT SMALL PREY."

"AND HIDE."

"HIDING UNTIL SEE SHINY?"

"STRONGEST WARRIOR DO NOT HIDE."

"STRONGEST WARRIOR STAND FRONT—STRONGEST WARRIOR FIGHT!"

"EDWARD FIGHT!"

"EDWARD HUNT!"

"EDWARD HUNTING STRONGEST SHINY!"

"THUNDER KNUCKLE HUNT TOO.."

"HUNT LIKE SNAKE."

"WAIT IN SHADOW UNTIL MOMENT JUST RIGHT, THEN STRIKE!"

"THAT HOW HIM ACHIEVE MUCH SPOKEN OF VICTORY OVER ROB-HURT MAIN."

"THAT HOW HE CLAIM BIGGEST SHINY."

"LONG AGO, WHEN SUN YOUNGER, STRONGEST WARRIOR WALK EARTH WITH GIANTS. BEAST WITH SHARP TEETH, TALLER THAN TALLEST TREE, IT HUNT—LIKE THUNDER KNUCKLE."

"IT NAME, SHADOWTOOTH—KING OF SILENT HUNTERS."

"SHADOWTOOTH HIDE IN DARK, WAIT FOR EDWARD. SUN DOWN, MOON UP, IT POUNCE! TRY TO CLAIM EDWARD AS PRIZE."

"BUT STRONGEST WARRIOR NOT FALL EASY. EDWARD FIGHT! EDWARD CONQUER!"

"THUNDER KNUCKLE LURK LIKE SHADOWTOOTH, WANT STRIKE FROM DARK. BUT NOT THIS TIME! EDWARD WIN RADIO BOX RUMBLE! EDWARD BRING CHALLENGE TO THUNDER KNUCKLE. NO SHADOW FOR HIM TO HIDE!"

"EDWARD SURVIVE SHADOWTOOTH. EDWARD WILL SURVIVE THUNDER KNUCKLE!"

"STRONGEST WARRIOR NEVER BACK DOWN. NEVER HIDE. ALWAYS FIGHT, ALWAYS HUNT!"

"THUNDER KNUCKLE WEAK LEADER."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE PROVE NOT EVEN STRONG ENOUGH TO LEAD BOB TRIBE."

"EDWARD WATCH AS BOB FIGHT AND STRUGGLE TO WORK AS POWERFUL COLLECTIVE."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE POWERLESS TO STOP IT."

"HE THINK SWEET FOOD AND THE HUMILIATION OF WEAKEST WARRIOR–FORCED TO PRETEND HE WOMEN FIX TRIBE?"

"EDWARD SURE THUNDER KNUCKLE LEADERSHIP WILL CAUSE MUCH CHAOS IN SMALL TRIBE."

"EDWARD REFUSE TO ALLOW THUNDER KNUCKLE AND HIM KNUCKLE BRAIN DO SAME TO WHOLE TRIBE."

"YES, EDWARD ONCE STAND BEHIND THUNDER KNUCKLE."

"BUT NO MORE."

"EDWARD NOW STAND IN FRONT."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE, YOU HAD YOUR TIME."

"IT ALREADY MORE THAN DESERVED."

"BUT NOW IT COME TO A CLOSE."

"NOW IS TIME OF EDWARD!"

"EDWARD—STRONGEST WARRIOR! AND STRONGEST WARRIOR WILL TAKE STRONGEST SHINY FROM THUNDER KNUCKLE!"

"EDWARD READY."

"EDWARD SHOW THUNDER KNUCKLE WHAT TRUE FIGHT IS."

"EDWARD SHOW WHAT IT MEAN TO BE STRONGEST WARRIOR."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE, BE READY."

"EDWARD COMING."

"AND STRONGEST WARRIOR WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SHINY IS EDWARD'S."

"EDWARD LOOK AT SHINY SKY. STARS SHINE, BURNING BRIGHT—LIKE FIRE IN STRONGEST WARRIOR'S EYES."

"TRIBE GATHER AROUND FIRE, FIND PEACE IN DARK. BUT EDWARD—EDWARD NEVER REST."

"NOT WHEN THERE STILL BATTLE TO FIGHT."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE! YOU WALK PATH OF SHADOW, BUT SHADOW CAN'T HIDE FROM FIRELIGHT."

"YOU TALK BIG. YOU SHOUT LOUD. BUT WHEN IT TIME TO STAND TALL, YOU SHRINK."

"EDWARD STAND WITH ANARCHY, STAND WITH TRIBE. FIGHT FOR SHINY, FOR HONOR."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE? YOU HIDE BEHIND WORDS, BEHIND TRICKS. YOU LURK, WAIT FOR RIGHT TIME TO STRIKE—LIKE COWARDLY BEAST."

"EDWARD SEE THROUGH YOU. SEE PAST LIES, PAST DECEPTION."

"TIME COME FOR FINAL BATTLE. FOR CLASH OF TITANS. EDWARD VERSUS THUNDER KNUCKLE."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE, PREPARE. STRONGEST WARRIOR READY FOR FIGHT."

"THIS NOT ONLY ABOUT SHINY. THIS ABOUT HONOR, ABOUT RESPECT. ABOUT FUTURE OF TRIBE."

"AND EDWARD—STRONGEST WARRIOR—WILL PROVE ONCE AND FOR ALL WHO TRUE LEADER OF TRIBE BE."

"THUNDER KNUCKLE, HEAR EDWARD: STRONGEST WARRIOR COMING FOR YOU. AND ME NOT STOP UNTIL STRONGEST SHINY BELONG TO EDWARD."

With that, EDWARD's fierce eyes soften just for a moment. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, feeling the weight of his words, and the destiny that awaits him.

He turns his gaze to the sky, where the stars seem to sparkle a little brighter, as if acknowledging the strength and determination of the STRONGEST WARRIOR. 

Slowly, EDWARD reaches down and gently touches the sleeping head of one of his APE FRIENDS. 

A small, genuine smile curves his lips, a rare sight for many.

With a final nod towards the campfire, as if sealing a silent pact with the spirits of his ancestors, he returns to his place among his tribe, and begins to sharpen one of his many spears. The fire continues to crackle and pop as the scene fades to black.
