-----
They were weak.
Mandarin stood towering over his siblings, watching them train.
They were slow.
He watched as Otto took a hit for Nova from Sprx.
They were unintelligent.
Gibson tried to execute a plan against Antauri, just to have it backfire.
They were pathetic.
The clock ran down to zero.
Fifteen opponents remained.
They were useless.

"How do you expect to protect the universe if you can not protect yourselves?!" The orange leader shouted. "Watch your backs! Get stronger!"
"We are trying our best, Mandarin," the black monkey tried to reason. "Give us time. We were only just created."
"I don't care!"
"It would be scientifically impossible for us to be at your level in just a few days." Blue.
"We're not giving up!" Yellow.
"Let's work on something else and come back to this…" Red.
"Better yet, let's eat." Green.
"No." Orange. "Back to train. NOW!"

They would not improve.
They are mocking you.
They are still struggling.
They won't win.
They are still weak!
They don't care for you.
They will never learn.
Finally, you understand.
This is why I am the best.
You are the eldest.
The clock hit zero.
No opponents remained.
Finally. Some progress.
