8	In a remote desert setting, two rivals, the titular protagonist and his arch-nemesis Corporal Tyrannis, meet and decide to settle their differences for the last time.
9
10	Despite being only nineteen seconds long, it manages to squeeze in lots of tropes, especially ones belonging to the RuleOfCool department.
11	-----
12	!!This short unleashes the examples of:
13
14	* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: '''The Medallion!?'''
15	* AwesomenessIsVolatile: [[spoiler:Higgins' and Tyrannis' duel is too awesome for their own good, as it causes an explosion which [[BolivianArmyEnding presumably kills them both]]]].

17	* BadassCape: Higgins Von Higgings gains one as he transforms.
18	* BattleOfTheBands: Higgings and Tyrannis engage in an epic rock battle [[spoiler:that ends with both of them caught in a giant explosion]].

22	* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Tyrannis is constantly pointing at Higgins.
23	* InMediasRes: We aren't given any backstory as to who Higgins Von Higgings and Corporal Tyrannis are, or why they're fighting; we start off at their final showdown.

28	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Corporal Tyrannis.[[note]]Or in this case, Names To Rock Out With Really Hard.[[/note]]
