[The Bay has seen better days than this one, that much is certain, after its newest unwilling arrival blasted his way out of his pod and promptly flew into a rage and left the rest of the place in shambles before emerging into the storm outside.]

[Now he's up on the communicator and the RAGE is just oozing off of him even through the screen. His face remains obscured for the moment by the hood and the sand blowing around him which barely seem to hinder him in the slightest. What are visible are the blazing red eyes deep in the shadows of the hood.]

How DARE you! I will give you one chance and one chance alone, return me to Eternia immediately or you will all pay dearly for this insult!

[No. No that's not helping the rage at all. He's about to go off on this brainless worm who dares talk back when... hmm. Clearly, such a toad isn't in charge of anything, but perhaps he may still be useful.]

Doesn't it? [Those lights fade a little bit, but still burn brightly.] Then enlighten me. How does it work?

That pamphlet that came in the box you woke up with explains it.

[Pause]

Unless you destroyed it in your little fit, in which case, I still have mine and I'll let you borrow it.

[Quite a mouth on this one. He'd like nothing better to do than silence those flippant remarks for good but, sadly, that isn't possible from where he is.]

I saw the the writings!

[He still DESTROYED the worthless thing, but that's beside the point.]

But where I am is of little consequence at the moment. What I am interested in is who and what brought me here!

[Janos turns the screen aside long enough to roll his eyes. Why can't these people be like Shaw? Anyway, after a moment he reappears on the screen.]

We don't know.

That much is quickly becoming clear.

[But as quick as Skeletor's temper is, it's still second to his ability to spot an opportunity and one clawed hand comes up to rub his chin in thought.]

Still, to accomplish something like this would require great power indeed. Power that can be harnessed for other purposes just as easily.

[Oh now Janos looks somewhat interested.]

Well, if you'd like some help, I suppose I could offer.

I mean, however much help someone who can make tornadoes can possibly be...

[A small smirk plays over his face for a moment before he goes completely straightfaced again.]

[Ah, even here there was no shortage of people looking to ally themselves with those who wielded actual power and had the ambition to use it.]

Hmm, most intriguing, and you do appear to have a brain unlike most of my past associates. What is your name?

Re: [Video]

[A pause, almost as if he's debating giving his real name or his code name.]

Just call me Riptide.

[Video]

[the_evil_forces_of_me]

[That codename would be downright ordinary where he comes from.]

Very well, Riptide.

[And now comes the reveal, Skeletor's hood comes back enough for Janos to clearly see the face of the man he's been speaking to, or lack thereof.]

I am Skeletor, lord and master of all evil.
