Issue 12: Malicious Alliance

Plegian Castle

BGM-Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 OST-Cutscene: Theme of Towa

During the royal festivities blooming all across Ylisse, a more disturbing meeting is about to commence inside the old throne room that used to belong to King Gangrel. Aversa stands in the middle of the room, happy to see her old associates, Grimadoom and Morlun return after they left the army.

"Hi there, handsome. I knew you couldn't stay away." Aversa flirted with the dark hedgehog, which only serves to annoy him.

"Enough games. Let's get straight to the point." Grimadoom said, crossing his arms to show off his serious demeanor.

"My, my, aren't you in a rush?" Aversa teased.

"With Gangrel out of the picture, your master should now be the new king of Plegia. Where is he, anyways? I don't like waiting." Grimadoom asked. Hearing faint footsteps that soon get louder, the heartless three turn to the shadowy halls where they see the new dark king of Plegia, Validar making his entrance.

"Greetings, Grimadoom the Hedgehog and Morlun. Welcome to my kingdom." Validar greeted the outworldly hedgehog.

"So you're the new big bad king. Validar, leader of the Grimleal, followers of the "name-taker" fell dragon, Grima," Grimadoom said, revealing his knowledge about the Grimleal, "From what I've heard, you suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Ylisseans but was rescued at the last second by your dear master. Is that correct?" He asked.

"Correct. I'm surprised you know so much about me and my master." Validar said.

"And there's a lot you don't know about me. Now tell me, what is it that you want, old man, and how I am so important to your cause? 'Cause I have other things better to do than waste my time with a pathetic cult." Grimadoom impatiently requested.

"What do I want? Hehe. To revive my master and rule over this world. You exist outside this world's fated history. With your help, we can alter fate to our very liking." Validar answered with a grin.

"Typical. Another wannabe super-villain wants to take over the world. But if your goal is to revive your master, who's that hiding in the shadows? You can't hide from me. I know you're there." Grimadoom said, well aware that someone is hiding in the halls, much to the pleasure of Validar.

Walking from out of the shadows is a hooded figure in Plegian robes, dressed in a familiar fashion to another. He takes off his cowl to reveal a face that's near identical to that of Ylisse's tactician, Robin. "You truly are a knowledge fellow. As expected from someone who has taken my name." The mystery man said to Grimadoom.

"Hmm? You look familiar. Should I bother caring?" Grimadoom wondered if he should really ponder over this person's identical identity.

"Oh. Grima. It's been too long." Morlun spoke.

"Ah. Morlun. My old friend. I thought you were dead." Grima said, smiling to see his old ancient ally.

"Same could be said about you." Morlun grinned.

"You two dated each other?" Grimadoom joked.

"I told you, I once visited this world 1000 years ago, to hunt down the primordial "Fell Totem," which so happened to be Grima here, but when we learned we shared a common enemy in the form of the Other, we became allies and tried to destroy him, but I'm sure you've guessed the outcome of that by now." Morlun explained to Grimadoom.

"Give me a few minutes," Grimadoom remarked before turning back to Grima, "So how is it that you're here yet Validummy still wants to bring you back to life?"

"Like you, I am not foreign to this world, or to this time to be exact. I am from the future where my evil is law. A world plunged in total darkness and despair, where the light of hope has been completely extinguished." Grima explained.

"Time travel. Great…So why is it you're here in the past? Did you lie and meant there was a speck of hope still remaining?" The hedgehog Grimadoom asked the name-stealer.

"Someone from my time came back here to alter my future, calling upon that interfering spider to once again ruin me. I followed the little wretch through time to stop her, but during the process I lost quite a bit of my power, losing my special stone as well." Grima explained.

"Special stone?" Grimadoom questioned what he's talking about.

"A white gemstone I found that possessed remarkable power beyond order and chaos. It was nothing I've ever seen. Its power was chaotic. So corrupting, but delicious," Grima creepily licked his lips to show off his meaning, "Now it's somewhere lost in this world."

"From what you've described, it would seem you've found an Exo Stone, something my parents have been whining about for the past few weeks." Grimadoom deduced, confusing the Grimleal what he means.

"An Exo Stone?" Validar questioned, intrigued about these mysterious gemstones of infinite power.

"Come. I'll take you to my world. Doom will be most pleased when he hears about this." Grimadoom said, using Chaos Control to teleport everyone back to his Earth.

Prime Earth, Latveria

BGM-Dragon Ball FighterZ OST-Evil

After arriving at Castle Doom and everyone gets acquainted with each other, Grima and his two henchmen explained everything about their goals and the Exo Stone to the Masters of Evil, all discussing the plan in Dr. Doom's throne room.

"This is most excellent news indeed. You've done a good job reporting this back to me, Grimadoom. I knew sending you was an ingenious idea." Doom commended his greatest creation for a job well done on discovering the existence of another Exo Stone.

"Completely unintentional, but I'll take the thanks nonetheless." Grimadoom said.

Doom turns back to the Grimleal standing before his Latveria might. "So tell me, Grima, what was the power you once possessed?" He asked the human Grima from the future.

"From my understanding, it had the power to bend the fabric of time to one's will, but for some reason, I couldn't access the stone's full potential." Grima responded to the Latverian King.

"That's because you are not native to one of the three linked worlds," Doom said, referring to his Earth, Mobius, and Remnant as the "linked worlds" since its inhabitants were involved in the Inter-Dimensional Goblin War that destroyed then rebuilt the multiverse anew, "Those from beyond realms who find these Exo Stones will have trouble accessing even a "fraction" of their power, usually becoming corrupt or lost in control of their own power, among other things, and at worse, destruction of your entire reality."

"Hmm…Is there any other way to bypass these irritating prerequisites?" Validar asked.

"You'll need our help if you want to use their power." Dr. Eggman answered.

"So you propose an alliance?" Validar said.

"Absolutely. I am quite interested in learning about your world. It sounds fascinating." Salem replied.

"We'll help you revive your past self to rule your world just as long as you help us find this "Genesis Stone" so we can rule our worlds with the power of time at our disposal." Doom said.

"As you wish, Dr. Doom." Grima nodded in agreement.

"Octavius. Can you be certain the Genesis Stone is in their world?" Doom asked the tentacle scientist on his holographic screen.

"Yes. I've managed to pinpoint the stone's energy somewhere in their world. It's already growing unstable without usage, forming time anomalies that's un-synching the time-flow from the rest of our worlds." Octavius responded.

"Oh, is that bad?" Aversa asked.

"Nothing too dangerous, my dear. A second here now, for example, would be like a few hours in your world until we secure the Genesis Stone. I've also been lucky enough to detect ANOTHER Exo Stone in the continent known as Valm, which is currently in the process of being conquered by a man named Walhart." Doc Ock continued.

"Walmart?" Grimadoom misheard.

"WALHART." Ock corrected him.

"Dumb name." Grimadoom said.

Validar laughs when he heard that wonderful news. "Walhart, yes. He is vital to our plans. It has already been written in the future, but I fear the spider and his "Avengers" will be a nuisance to fate." He sinisterly grinned.

"You have nothing to worry about, Validar," Doom said before turning to Eggman and Doc Ock give out his orders, "Dr. Eggman. Dr. Octavius, as well as Aversa. You three are assigned to assist this "would-be conqueror" and retrieve the Exo Stone, as well as that Fire Emblem. Help him distract the Ylisseans and Avengers long enough for the rest of us to find the Genesis Stone unnoticed."

"Affirmative, Doom." Ock smirked.

"Morlun. Continue your hunt of the spider. Make sure to do away with him for good this time." Doom ordered the Totem Hunter.

"I was already planning to." Morlun said.

"Hmhmhm. If all goes according to plan, the future will be ours to command." Doom chuckled.

"Yes. All worlds will soon tremble before the might of the fell dragon, Grima!" Grima said.

"Y'know, I'm still pretty mad you stole my name." Grimadoom said, still ticked off about that.

"You should be honored then. I don't see the problem." Grima chuckled.

Grimadoom simply shrugged. "Whatever. Just don't think just because we share a similar name doesn't mean we have anything in common. Get in my way and I won't hesitate to destroy you." The supreme hedgehog threated the fell dragon.

"Heh. Feeling's mutual." Grima smirked, annoying the clone once more.
