He spots probably the biggest fish that he has ever seen! He catches it with both hands, then carries it back up to the surface. As he comes up, he marvels at the size of the fish, then he hears a voice.
YOUNG SENATOR 1- I think you'd better give us that!
VILUS- Is that a joke?
YOUNG SENATOR 2- We can use that fish at tomorrows banquet to honour Skirom.
YOUNG SENATOR 1- So you'd better give it to us!
VILUS- Bury your head in the sand, idiot.

VILUS- Had enough?
Senator two attacks again, but as he runs in, Vilus puts all of his anger into his next blow. He uses a Ridge-Hand, which sends down senator two, putting him out cold. Senator one goes up to his felled companion then checks his pulse at the wrist.
YOUNG SENATOR 1- You killed him! You will pay for this!
