An ominous growl emanated from the Door to Doom's chambers as Doctor Robotnik brush against it, and shadows seemed to seep through the tiny gap between the doors and pool on the floor. Tiny red orbs glared balefully, silently, after the rotund human as he was pulled away by the strange girl, poised in case anyone else tried to force entry.


Within, the Latverian monarch had at last completed his labours. A small device, barely large enough to fit in the palm of his armoured hand, lay complete on the table; the notable rivets and crude metal of its appearance belied the complex and delicate ciruitry within, an ugly facade concealing something all too modern and deadly.

Doom held the device and appraised it coldly. Crude, perhaps, and certainly not what he would have preferred had his laboratories been available to him; but it would suffice to accomplish what he required.

After tucking the machine into a pouch on his belt, the iron dictator redonned his cloak and turned to leave.

   THERE ARE NEW ARRIVALS OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR, MASTER,    his servants rasped.    YOU SHOULD WAIT WHILE WE ASSESS THIS NEW POTENTIAL THREAT...   

Doom's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Choose your next words carefully, demon," he said, his voice low and filled with implicit threat. "One does not dictate to or demand of Doctor Doom; one requests...or one begs."

A tinge of fear creeped into the tone of the monarch's summoned servants.    YES, OF COURSE, MASTER; WE APPOLOGIZE FOR THIS TRANSGRESSION. AH...MIGHT WE POLITELY SUGGEST THAT YOU WAIT INSIDE WHILE WE ASSESS THIS NEW THREAT?   

"There is no threat," he replied. "Doom has no rivals. Now make way!"

   OF COURSE, MASTER...

β€œDid I ask for your opinion Peon?” Material-D, the Ruler of Darkness asked in her condescending tone. She glanced over and looked the armored behemoth over with eyes that clearly said she was not impressed in the least with him.

Of course, with the ruckus currently erupting nearby, Sigma's ruminations were cut short.

"So, more people have been pulled into the game... you'll have to forgive my companion there. I am Sigma, future king of all Reploidkind."

"You call me, destroyer of worlds and slayer of kings, a mere peon? You shall pay dearly for those words..." growled Huron, although he made no obvious moves towards her.

The inky darkness pooling at the foot of Doom's door flowed up across the door itself and onto the arm of the being knocking on it, seeming to solidify in a grip of iron.

   YOU ARE NOT WANTED,    that awful voice growled.    AWAY!   

With that, the shadowy guardians of Doom's abode flung the knocker away from the door.

β€œAh, finally, someone with some manners!” Material-D responded.

β€œI am Material-D, Ruler of Darkness and Queen of the entire multiverse.” Now, normally that kind of claim would be rather…unrealistic, until you took in Material-D’s expression and realized that she was completely serious. She turned back to the one in the red armor with spikes,

β€œYes, I call you a peon, because quite frankly you’re boring.”

Then the purple bot skidded to a spot at her feet. Glancing down, Material-D raised an eyebrow,

β€œAnd what are you?”

-Zod listened to the noise outside and scowled-

From what I have seen, these 'teammates' shall be more of a hindrance than a help...

-a block of crystal rose out of the ground before him and a screen materialised. Symbols flashed across the screen, indecipherable to all but the general-

"Funny," said Huron, "I do not recall asking you about that. Besides, only the Chaos Gods are the true rulers of the multiverse..."

Sigma had to supress the urge to mock Centum right then and there: this child was seriously meant to be in the same league as the others? Obviously, the being was grasping at straws.

"I see... we have been brought here by a being who calls himself Centum, and apparently this is for entertainment purposes. Whatever entertainment he may hope to derive from me is going to be cut short. As for the claim that you and Huron have made... you both must be sadly mistaken. Nobody has come close to ruling the world except I; and all I need to do is get X to unleash his unlimited potential to bring my plans to fruition."

β€œWe were referring to Sigma, who at least is polite.” Material-D answer in her dismissive tone.

β€œAnd I doubt your…gods have any power, even if they do then we will smite them from existence.” She answered the second part of Huron’s retort. Then she turned to Reflector,

β€œLord Megatron? I’m afraid we know of no such Lord, for we just arrived here.”

— More eyerolls were suppressed at this rampant boasting. —

- Megatron is the Leader of my race, the Decepticons. He wishes to bring up diplomatic ties while he's stuck in this dump. You're metal, right?-

The shadows receded from the door to Doom's chambers as it swung open, revealing the Latverian monarch in all his glory. The gateway closed behind him as soon as he was clear with a deafening clang, and again the Latverian monarch's shadow demons pooled into existence at the foot of the door, ready to bar entry to anyone save their master.

Doom folded his arms over his chest, frowning at the use of "We" coming from this white-haired child. Either she is part of a hive mind of some manner—not an imposibility—or she uses that term of address to denote that she is royalty. If the latter is the case, regardless of whether her rule is legitimate or not, real or imagined, this child certainly has an ego.

The armoured dictator shifted his gaze to the small robot, noting its similarities to the so-called Megatron. "An envoy, no doubt...small construct, where you the one to knock on Doom's door?"

— Reflector froze, fear flooding his processor, before wheeling about to face Doom. —

- Yep... Sir. Still uninterested?-

At the last comment, Huron stiffened. He opened his mouth to say something, but decided against it at the last moment, uttering only a snarl. However, any who were watching him would see him slowly and deliberately reaching for his axe...

The biological door of Kerrigan's room pulsated and spread open as Kerrigan walked out and looked around. She noticed the new arrivals with a disinterested look and sighed, this was going to get more annoying then it needed to be.

"I have not heard what you have to offer," Doom replied, his eyes cold as flint behind his visor slits. "You will explain."

β€œOn the contrary, I am not metal.” Material-D seemed slightly puzzled by the question, but it did not matter. Then she turned as the metal and green clothed figure walked into their little meeting.

Tall, heavily armored, good use of his voice. Obviously competent or completely demented.

Material-D turned her back on the red armored being, ignoring his boring presence in favor of paying attention to this new being and the one who had just emerged.

Seing what Huron was doing, Sigma's eyes imperceptibly narrowed and quietly unhooked his beamsabre.

"Well, at least you haven't resorted to fighting. That's a plus."

— Reflector scraped his servos together to ease his anxiety protocol.—

- Well, uh, isn't a non-aggression pact a nice first step? -

— The Decepticon turned to Material D.—

- What species you from then, ma'am?-

Doom paused, considering even as he still glared coldly at the small construct. After a moment, the dictator nodded almost imperceptably.

"An interesting proposal, errand boy...but Doom does not barter with lackeys. Return to your master and inform him that Doom will negotiate with him in person or not at all."
