"In time," the Teseral grinned in anticipation, "I will realize my ambition, and they will all pay."
Ben looked at what he had just written, and then promptly erased everything after the word, "ambition."
"And they will all pay" didn't seem to fit well with Ben's vision of the character.
Not to mention, it was a very overdone cliché, and he went out of his way to avoid using those.
There had to be something that could give the sentence an end as good as "some dish with Wonder Woman's birthmark," as Kai would say.
Ben had been working on this story of his for quite some time.
He had a pretty lofty vision of the finished product: a grand science fiction/fantasy epic that he hoped would, some day, be as revered as one or both of the two "star" franchises.
He attempted to ensure this by, among other things, "borrowing" elements of those franchises, and changing enough details (usually starting with the names) so he could feel reasonably convinced that he definitely wasn't committing plagiarism.
For example, his story's version of the Galactic Empire from "Star Wars" is "Umbora."
Instead of Stormtroopers, the soldiers serving Umbora are "Bucklers."
And instead of Darth Vader or Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine or whoever, the leader of Umbora (and, by extension, the Bucklers) is "The Teseral."
Also, rather than just being unambiguously evil like the Galactic Empire, the Klingon Empire, or Congress, the depiction of Umbora and its leadership will be more nuanced, like what "Star Trek" would probably have.
For that reason, Ben tried to avoid giving The Teseral what he considered stereotypically villainous behavior in favor of a somewhat different approach.
Thus, he put a lot of effort into making The Teseral a megalomaniac who didn't let trivialities like acceptable social etiquette get in the way of the delusion that he was more powerful and had more control over things than he really did or would've cared to admit.
Even in context, that "in time" quote is essentially The Teseral just acting out a delusion of grandeur.
Additionally, the two highest-ranking Bucklers (collectively known as "The Hemorrhoids") are, respectively, an irritating, overdramatic buzzkill and an individual who, without exaggeration, may have the worst sense of humor ever.
In other words, he made them as annoying and unlikable as possible.
The line remained unfinished for a few seconds before the Jeopardy music in his head was interrupted by music, coming faintly from the other room.
The music could only have one possible source: Kai's MP3 player.
Ben wasn't entirely sure, but he thought the music sounded like the intro of "Station To Station."
That's when a lightbulb went off in his head, and he figured out the rest of the sentence.
"I will realize my ambition, and they will all be brought down beneath my station."
