The main reason for their failure is them being unable to convince anyone of their discovery that King Andrias is the BigBad and Marcy as TheDragon who intend to become {{Multiversal Conqueror}}s, thanks to a combination of [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Sasha's constantly betraying their trust]] and Grime's own past villainous actions against the heroes making it impossible for them to get the heroes to listen to them. As such, the heroes help Andrias take the city back ''and'' give him and Marcy access to the Box, unaware until far too late that Sasha and the toads were actually the LesserOfTwoEvils.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Unlike canon, The the Core includes some of Marcy's direct ancestors. It's this change that sets up the whole plot of King Andrias and The Core taking a route in wrapping Marcy around their fingers, by turning her into their [[TheDragon Dragon]] and bringing her in on their EvilPlan instead of merely an UnwittingPawn via 'Proposition'.

** The Core treats Marcy ''much'' better than in canon. [[ZigZaggedTrope However]], The Core is acting as TheCorruptor to Marcy, twisting her so that she wants to join them in their dimensional conquest. At the very least, they consider her smart enough to join them and is a direct descendent of some of the MindHive.
** Instead of grabbing her by the face as in canon, The Core takes her by the waist and cradles her gently into the seat. It went so far as to pet her on the head afterwards.

* TheCorrupter: Not only is The Core responsible for molding Andrias into the person he's become, it '''very''' successfully does this to [[FallenHero Marcy]], encouraging her issues of egomania and delusion, to make her an even worse version of herself, while making her believe they're helping her become a stronger person for the greatness that her ancestors began. It gets to the point of Marcy willingly becoming its host.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Marcy couldn't help but notice that The Core is bitter about the fact that very few people on Amphibia or Earth remember the Wu Clan and what they had done throughout both worlds' histories. Just like in canon, it hates being irrelevant.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even The Core itself seems fond of Marcy, being the great-great-something-something granddaughter of some of the MindHive, acting as a parental figure and teacher to her. Whether this is a sincere case of AffablyEvil or FauxAffablyEvil mixed with PragmaticVillainy to control her has yet to be confirmed. Though, considering that they're allowing to be in control as Darcy, when don't seem to need to, it seems to be more than just manipulation.

To his surprise, Marcy insists on going through with it immediately, trusting their [[EvilGenius master's judgement]]. It works perfectly.

* RoyalFavorite: It's quite clear from their interactions that King Andrias is particularly fond of Marcy, holding her in higher regard than anyone else in his court. He heavily implies to Lady Olivia that he considers her to be the only one he ''can trust'' (sans his master), even going so far as to introduce her directly to The Core and explain their intentions, successfully bringing her in on their EvilPlan. This is due to her being a direct descendant of the original humans that lived in Amphibia and genuinely liking her.
