[Participation] Dark Reign: Part one

[Beta Ray Bill]

Waves of electrical energy discharged, wind bellowed and the clapping of thunder followed as Doctor Doom entered the new verse, falling. Landing to his feet, causing ash to kick up into the air, instantly he could feel the heat in the air even in his armor. He took a few steps gazing into the this new land he had entered, acidic wind whisked past him, his cloak flapped in the air in its pass. This land was very different but yet the comparable to the Nexus he had which just came from. This land could be considered a wasteland such as the Nexus, but yet this arid verse could sustain life. Doom could sense it and yet he could also sense a great battle that not long ago had taken place, a battle that still could be felt in the very ground that Doom and most likely others could feel. 

Stepping further with each step of his metal feet crunching into the ash and volcanic rock. He pulled out his hand letting the down poor of ash that floated in the air catch in his palm. His kept his attention on the ash in his palm for a minuets before  clinching his hand into a metal fist. 

A barren waste land  similar to the Nexus, but only this time there is. Life that lives in a lawless land, wear only the strongest survive and the weak parish. The Ashen Steppes requires a true body of government, one that  will give the true and worthy  people who live fear a beacon of hope. A strong leader, one that has no moral value to chain them down, one that will use as much power need no matter the cost. Perhaps Doom shall be that one, but that is for another time. Now is the time to learn of the enemy and to gain knowledge of places unknown. Fore one day the world shall bow down to DOCTOR DOOM! 

Doom sharply turned his hooded head noticing a small path way. Its was paved with some form volcanic rock that was worn down by the harsh environment. Ash had completely taken over the trail making it hard to see the volcanic rock that made up the path. There was no telling how far the road would lean or what it would hold. Only people  with foolishness and bravado in their hearts would traverse these ashen planes without proper persistence and carefulness. Luckily, Doom was neither, the only ones who truly succeed are the ones who are cold and calculating. Always ever looking to the future and planing for what is to come in its wake.

Fate has truly shined its light upon me and soon fate will bring Doom to the power that is required to do what I have longed for. Soon the day will come when Doom is reunited with the power of a god and then from there the world will be made into a perfect image, my perfect image.   


Making his way to the path way, His green cloak sailing in volcanic wind, heat raising up and ash continued falling from the sky looked in cycle for eternity. He pushed ever onward to his distention ready for what ever laid ahead. Let it be the insufferable heroes of his world or something for worse, what ever it may be it will know that there is only one being of power to fear, DOCTOR DOOM.    
       

[Beta Ray Bill]

Blistering hot magma hissed and bubbled in the crevices of the earth, as Doom continued on the road way that lead to wherever his distention may be. Truly this verse could have been mistaken for a plane in hell with the only mere difference being that life could sustain its self under the coat of ash, fire, and magma. If planned tactically and well organized, this plane could become an impenetrable fortress, enemies unable to over throw whoever ruled and isolating the government body in control. Foreign influence unable to poison the people with unorganized and disastrous thoughts. This verse has the potential to become a super power against any faction that may exist in the other realms.

Perhaps if I am to be able to usurp this cosmic being Omni, I will need allies. Strong allies in that, allies that closely or nearly follow the same path that I walk. These allies would need to have the same goals as I do, or the goals that they are set upon should be consistent with mine. 

Victor proceed further on the path before looking up to the dark ash filled sky. Whatever made the sunlight in this verse was slowly fading. Night was coming and with this realms terrain it would be even more difficult to traverse it while in the pitch black dark. Hurrying along the ebony ash filled path way. Doom found  a clearing, that seemed to be safe enough and untouched by hot magma. Circling around the clearing Doom pulled out the glimmer orb he had just learned to use hours ago. Pointing the orb at the clearing and pouring all of his attention into the orb, he focused on creating a camp. Within moments later Doom had created a tent with the basic needs to sustain a night. he was lucky to have found the clearing and created a camp in time before nightfall. Doctor Doom watched the bright sun as it slowly descended out of sight creating total darkness that surrounded the entire verse. Doom walked towared his tent and opened entering he reached for his metal mask removing and  placing it next to his spawned makeshift bed. His face still wore the disfiguring scares and damage  from the incident caused by Reed Richards sabotaging one of his inventions and from over eagerly putting the titanium mask  straight after its creation in Tibet. Slowly Victor drifted into sleep, his mind entering a dreamlike trance. 

-               
The heroes were but no match for the might of Thanos and his near limitless power from the infinity gauntlet. This did not stop Earths mightiest heroes, not even when their friends Namor and She-Hulk were killed, Fore they had hope on their side and hope was better for them to feel then for them to know that their chances of succession was slim. This was not the case for Doctor Doom on the other hand. Doom drive was his greed and arrogance, the infinity gauntlet was to his not Thanos's. 

Before Thanos could deal anymore damage to the heroes, Thor and Doctor Doom flew in to stop him. Thor threw his hammer Mjolnir and successfully managed to knock Thanos back a few feet before crashing back to the ground of the shrine dedicated to Lady Death. Before Thor could lay another strike on Thanos, Doom jumped in the way "Doctor Doom-- Back off you're in the way!" Thor yelled readying for another hit with his hammer. Doom kneeled beside Thanos  "The gauntlet!!" Doom shouted reaching down to pluck  the yellow gauntlet empowered by the infinity stones, off of Thanos. Just before he could take it an intense blast of energy shot out from the gauntlet knocking Doom sever feet away. Doom was lucky that his armor system was strong enough to protect him from such a powerful blast. -

Doom shot up out of his make shift bed. The blast of energy in his dream of the past had instantly awakened him. Not many foes over the years back in his universe were Doom's equal or even as strong as he was. Anyone that were near to Doom's level of power were only Thanos and Odin. The dream or better named a memory was not just some rabble, this memory was an answer to his question of how to steal Omni's power. 

This memory is an act of fate, for Doom dose not only need allies, but the tools to bring power. No matter if there is an infinity gauntlet here or not. I not only need allies, but objects of great power. Ones that will make gods shriek in terror and enemies kneel before me. With those two thing Doom will rule not only this reality, but all the others in the multiverse. 

turning to  his metal mask that he had placed beside him last night. He knelt down picking it up with a tight grip, he then locked it into place and pulled his green cloaks hood over his head. Once more the Doctor Doom's mask became his true face, hiding his damaged face. The metal mask was a sure reminder of what Reed Richards did, sabotaging Doom's machine  that allowed him to enter Mephisto's realm, in result destroying Victors near perfect face and getting him expelled from the collage they attended. Doom opened the flaps that made doors for the tent and exited it. Heavy winds ash blew every where, falling ash already started to collect on Doom's shoulders and hooded head. Doom Analyzed the area around for threats to be sure it was to head on his way and began once more following the ebony trail until he will finally reach a settlement.

[Beta Ray Bill]

Steam flared from the cracks of the earth into the air combining with the light grey clouds that engulfed the sky. Fire burned from the outside of bubbling pits of lava and magma, that would melt anyone who came close them no matter if they were prime or not. A heavy gust of wind blew past Doom causing his green cloak to sail threw the air. Each step his metal boots made kicked ash and dust into the air, if it wasn't for that his armor out of titanium and for that it was woven into a different realm, the armor would have turned to rust and begin to corrode. Stopping the sovereign of Latveria took a good long look at the sky, before he continued his seemingly unending journey in search of a mere village of settlement, but he was beginning to doubt that anything lived in this physical embodiment of Hell. That this trip was a miscalculation in the Doom's ever unending, unchanging plan. 

perhaps my judgment was mistaken, that this world had ever sustained life. My eagerness has cost the  precious time of Doom's. Time that must be spent studying this world and learning what of what can be learned. Doom and whoever lives in this form of realms must learn not to do what this so called godlike being wishes us to do. We must not show or give impressions that we are mere nats, bugs beneath a notices only fit to do the biding of what this master of the cosmoses wishes the mortal below to follow, we must not idolize or worship him it only proves to him that he is the master. No Doom has no master, chains nor strings attached, Doom is his own man a king to my people. The universe nor multiverse is Omni's to control and soon he will learn not to tamper with whats Doctor Doom's! 

Doom stopped in his tracks to have a study of lands lay out. It had been hours sense the black trail Doom had followed had disappeared, mostly whoever created stopped or simply the ash that seemed to be everywhere in this verse had covered it. Doom had passed the ashed plane filled with burning pits of fiery lava and earthly cracks that spilled toxic gas and steam, strong enough to kill a normal man instantly. However the new ashy plane he had entered was probably far worse then the other. Streams of lava poured out in various area flowing like a river, a river of super heated molten earth and with a touch or merely just getting close would result in  Disastrous effects. ash blanketed the areas that had not filled with the rivers of lava. The ash almost could have been mistaken for snow with the only thing giving it away was the lay out of the land and fiery pool of red hot liquid beside it, Doom's metal feet crunching into it even added to its illusion.  

To conclude this new theory of mine, I should continue my trail for at least one more of what is considered Earth time. Furthermore if there is nothing in my travels of the next day then I shall leave to another verse more suitable to Doom. However if I am to find a settlement then I Doom shall indulge in the quest for the knowledge Doom seeks.

Before Doom could move an inch a loud roar bellowed from deep in the sky. Shooting his metal hooded head up Doom searched through the grey sky line of clouds of smoke and the occasional flash of lighting. In a matter of moments dragon like creatures peeled through the clouds roaring to the top of their lungs and circling the heavens as if they were in search for something. 

They don't seem to have seen me, but to be sure it is safe I must leave this area. Truly time and mere speed is of the essence . 

Doom quickly reached out to the mystical forces at his disposal, energy coursing through him, he directed it to his hands creating a small energy blast aimed at a pit of lava beside him. The yellow beam smashed into the molten lava creating a gas cloud of sulfur that engulfed the entire area. The sulfur would have clearly took a toll on Doom if it weren't for his armor providing a steady ventilation  of clean air, but to his advantage the gas cloud provided excellent cover against anything patrolling the sky. Dashing though the smoke of sulfur, Doom began to slow his sprint when he felt it was safe, but to his surprise one of the creatures landed in front of him knocking the smoke away and causing the ground shake in its wake. The beast bellowed a long and loud screech flailing is scaled wings in the air and snorted fire towards Doom.   

"Foul beast! Doom is not food nor prey! Cower away of face the wrath of DOCTOR DOOM!         

      

   

[Koal]

Koal carefully dismounted his wyvern, feeling the beasts' large chest inflate and deflate with each breath. It's eyes were luminescent in the large cloud of ash and sulfur, penetrating the mystery man's gaze. Koal smirked as he felt three similar tremors in the ground, signaling that each of the other riders had arrived. The winged creatures circled, their riders jeering at the Green-cloaked man, who remained still, hands alight with energy.

"Funny, you remind me of a certain ally that I once had. He was a skinny little fucker. Big mouth. Bigger ego." He smiled as Dooms' eyes narrowed in anger. He was shorter than him, so Koal had to slightly look up to meet his gaze. Koals eyes pulses with violent energy. As much as he claimed to hate conflict, it gave him a high unlike anything else. It made him feel as if every cell in his body was vibrating with energy. His mind was no longer clouded when he fought. It was clear, and sharper than the tips of his claws. It brought out his inner demon.

"There is no one alive that compares to DOOM! I am, and will forever be apart from the imperfections of mortals such as you." Dooms voice was deep and slightly metallic, probably due to the material of his mask. It was layered with confidence and arrogance. Which made Koals job easier. Angry targets were easy to goad into bad decisions. His armor would be tough to get around, but Koal was sure he could manage.

"Well then, Doctor, once we get a collar on you... I'll show you just how vulnerable you are."

And with that, Koal and Doom charged one another. Koal punched, and Doom deflected the punch, spinning and shoving Koal in the back, disrupting the demons center of balance. Koal recovered and vaulted over Doom, slashing at his head, claws skimming over the metal, gouging trenches in it. Dooms eyes widened, surprised. Koal stepped back, and signaled for the others to attack.

He had a job to do.

[Beta Ray Bill]

Sulfuric wind circled the men with ash following its path, adding to the still illusion that snow laid to scorched ground. The leader of the groups men drew out their weapons of choice. All of them aside from the one calling out orders looked like barbaric men raised from landfills, they all except the leader seemed to be wearing make shift armor constructed from various objects. The one on Doom's far left was tall, sporting a large scraggly beard and a Mohawk. The large men carried a make shift axe that was ready to make killing blows. The one to Doom's far right had red goatee and the hair style of a Dapper-Dan, he too carried an axe and was fair sized for a human being. The last goon that worked for the their young leader, he was directly behind Doom sporting a makeshift bow. The man was short with long deep dark hair. 

Each man stepped closer to Doom, weapons ready for attack. Doom's sheer sized toppled them, with only the bearded one and their leader to be nearly close to Doom's height. Victor's  green cloak sailed through the air, he analyzed each of the combatants. None of which truly were a match for the all power Doom and even if they were strong enough to handle his power, they were not worthy of even his grace. 

"Doom is impressed, not a lot mere men can lay their hands on Doom and make a mark." 

Doom folded his arms and turned his hooded head towards the two men approaching from his front. He could sense the other behind him through his mystical abilities, he could see picture perfectly what the small man did in his approach. 

"what is your name boy?"                       

"Hm. Koal. Koal Lynch. And I've never been a 'mere man'. Hell, I'm not even human." He smiled and showed his fangs, his eyes glowing red.

Doctor Doom raised his right hand and clinched it into a fist, making a small metal clinking noise. Having his fist raised gave Doom the look of someone asserting dominance, but only the ones looking at him. Truly they didn't know that he was able to foresee what the man behind him was about to do. Trying his best not to look conspicuous Doom was charging himself with enough energy to create shield around him.

Once the pity little man draws his bow and attack this fight won't be about speed nor strength. What will truly win this contest is precision. The perfect strike will bring them all to their knees. These fools have never truly faced one such as Doom and their ignorance will be their downfall.        

"Interesting, but why is it that you associate with beings well below you. If you truly have such power and are not limited by mortal frame, why not assert you absolute dominance?"  

Koal bared the collar on his neck, the red gem glowing with the promise of banishment within. A scowl was present on his face.

"I step outta line. And it's off to hell." Koal covered it back up and drew the larger of his blades, readying a stance. 

"So, I have no choice but to bring you in." 

The energy Doom had conjured was no enough to fully support a shield, he lowered his hand and readied himself. The small man behind Doom fired his his bow. The arrow smashed into Doctor Doom's shield, instantly cracking in two before falling to the ashy ground. The man on Doom's right rushed in flailing his axe in the air in a effort to confuse Doom, this only made it easier for him to lay a hit. Charging energy to his right hand Doom fired an energy blast. The yellow blast of mystical energy instantly disintegrated the man's left hand, crimson blood poured to the ground creating a pool of red on the ash floor. With in seconds the man died rolling around on the ground screaming in pain.

The man to Doom's right soon followed, but before he could lay a hit, Doom picked him into the air and threw him into the small long haired man. Koal's face grew into a sneer and charged for Doom. Koal was fast, to fast for Doom to dodge his attack, his large blade caved a deep cut in Victor's armor, ripping a part of his green cloak off. 

The small man had seemed have been able to get the knocked out bearded man off of him and waited for the opportunity to strike. Quickly Doom took his advantage over Koal using his heavy blade, he charged another energy blast and directed it towards Koal. As fast as he could Koal deflected the blast with his large blade. The blast pushed Koal a few inches from his current position and disarmed him. 

Finding an opportunity the little man rushed for Doom, punching him straight in his metal chest piece, The man's small right fist gave a loud popping noise as it made contact with Doom, griping his right hand he screamed in agony from the pain he had brought to himself. 

Koal stopped in his place gave out a good laugh at the man anguish. Raising armored his left hand  Doom back handed the small man instantly taking him out. Koal's laughing stopped as Doom turned back to him, he growled in anger. Brandishing his demonic claws Koal vaulted  up into the air to pounce and Doom charged for another blast.

[Koal]

Koal was starting to get frustrated with Doom. More specifically, the way the man seemed to know what Koal was going to do before The Demon even initiated his attack. He wasn't fast enough to avoid them outright, but he parried and redirected a great deal of his strikes.

Koal growled and lashed out with his claws splayed, Raking them across the armored chestpiece. The resulting screeching noise almost made him flinch, but he pressed his attack, not wanting to let his opponent have a chance to recuperate. Yet Doom still blasted him in the chest, knocking Koal off balance. They both stood, Koal nursing his burn, Doom still as a statue. The Demon growled and drew boy of his blades, the ebony edges seemingly drawing in darkness. His eyes became luminescent, the blood-red orbs locking onto Doom, his face frozen in a snarl. And in that moment, Koal and Doom stood as equals. And then it was back to battle.

Koal twirled and delivered a quick strike to his left arm, before bringing the heavier blade around, attempting to wedge the blade in Dooms leg. Doom jumped, avoiding the sword heading for his leg, yet getting a large cut on his arm, blood seeping out for one of the first times Doom could remember. The sight of blood made Koal smile maniacally, edging him on to knee Doom in the gut knocking him to the ground.

Doom lay on his hands and knees, breathing hard, his eyes narrowed.

"You may not be weak, but no mortal can stand to my might. I had the powers of God. I have created worlds and destroyed many much more powerful than you." He stood, his metal hands crackling with energy. "If I go down, I will most certainly bring you with me."

Lighting tore through Koals body, blue arcs of electricity burning his flesh. Koal wasn't unfamiliar with the sensation, and it brought back his past. His torture. White rooms and doctors In lab coats. Letting out a demonic screech, he rushed forward, grabbing Doom, throwing him to the Ashen ground. He then began to punch, trying his hardest to drive the horrible memories out of his head by force. When Doom lay unconscious, Koal grabbed a collar of his belt, his chest heaving, and snapped it on the Primes neck.

"N-now... to get him back."

[Beta Ray Bill]

Perpetual Silence swallowed the entire volcanic land. Ash rained from the sky with the only sound filling the void of silence being the rough wiping noise of Koal's and the last of his men's wyvren's wings. Their wings beat together like a heart in a body, pumping blood, it was a pure rhythmatic sound. The ash that poured down on the three men gave them an extra coat of white as they made their way back to their base of operations.

Koal tightened his grip on the reins directing his scaled friend. Doom had been placed behind him, tied up to make sure he would not wake up or cause more damage. There was just one thing Koal couldn't shake though, the electricity. Koal wasn't emotionally prepared for it the electricity brought back memories of his torture at the hands of the Nazis. That feeling of fear and hurt mentally and physically weakened him, but he had to push that aside. Peering over the head of his wyvren and looking through the light mist, Koal could see Cinderstone from his distance. 

-

The room they stood  on this ship they had been placed in was almost as if a white void with a dome as roof that, with the endless reaches of space peering in. The villains of Earth gasped and starring  their selves and each other dumbfounded , asking where they where and that the only thing they remember was walking through some type of portal. Doctor Doom stepped in front of them all folding his metal arms and gave a stare that was as cold and calculating as death itself, giving the look of authority and already taking command. 

"Someone... Or something has spirited us across the universe-- The Asgardian Enchantress... Ultrion... The Absorbing man... The Wrecker and his Wrecking crew Thunderball, Piledriver, and Bulldozer... My future-Earth counterpart, Kang... The planet-devouring Galactus, The Lizard, The Molecule Man and Dr. Octopus.. An intriguing selection of most dangerous individuals... and none more so than I, DOCTOR DOOM! Across the void my built-in sensors detect a second capsule like this one--and in it a band of those who think themselves heroes! interesting... a gathering of forces... As if for War!"  

Before Doom or anyone could do anything the entire galaxy  that laid in front of them was obliterated in front of their own eyes. However as quickly as the galaxy was destroyed a sole planet was created. Doom stood in his position awestruck at what he had just witnessed, his mouth behind his had drooped and his brown eyes widened. 

"Awe-inspiring... Humbling... Feats dwarfing the wildest imaginings of the gods! The power necessary... It's incalculable... Inconceivable! "

  -

Doom's vision was fuzzy as he looked around the room he had just awoken in. Once his vision completely came back to him he noticed that parts of his armor had been removed and placed on a wooden table beside him. The room he had been placed in had the look of a medieval dungeon with cobblestone wall and various chairs, tables, and medical devices placed about everywhere. It also seemed to be that there was only one exit from this room  and that was a wooden door that laid right in front of Doom. Victor had also noticed that his wounds had been taken care of and were neatly wrapped up and stitched. This however was insulating for none shall lay their hands on Doom  without his consent! Doctor Doom tried to move, but he seemed to be restrained onto a metal medical table and collar had been place on his neck. Surely however had captured Doom will soon know that Doom is no prisoner. 

After a few seconds the wooden door in front of Doctor Doom began to slowly creak open until the person who was opening it could be fully seen. Out of all the people it could have been it was the one person Doom had dreadfully cared not to meet again, Koal Lynch. 

"Hello Doctor."

[Koal]

Koal walked forward, his eyes trained in the new captive, his face showing a sort of apprehension. Koal sat down, legs crossed in front of Doom, placing a small board on the ground. Followed by black and white pieces.

"Are you fond of chess, Doctor?" Koal asked, setting up the pieces. His violet eyes held an emotion akin to remembrance, sadness turning the corners of his mouth into a small frown. His fingers brushed the tip of a black pawn, the used ebony wood scratching beneath the thin appendages. Doom seemed rather apprehensive, yet intrigued; dark eyes flashed beneath Ed the dull metal mask. He picked up a piece, a knight, and set it in the board. Koal smiled and continued the game.

As each player took a piece, it would fade into the rainbow substance and flow back into Koal, and Doom found himself intrigued.

"I'm curious, Mr. Lynch, how long have you been here. Here being the omniverse?"

"Hm. Not really sure to be honest. A few months at least. Although time seems to work differently here as well, so I could be wrong." Koal grumbled and moved his room, knocking away one of Dooms pawns. Doom nodded his head slowly, anticipating the move. He moved his knight and took the rook, and so the game continued.

"So you would know a few things about this world. Would be so kind as to share that knowledge with me?" Doom elaborated, his hand brushing the metal plating that covered his chin.

"Well, there's not too much that I know, but I guess I could share." The swordsman coughed and sat up a bit straighter, beginning to speak again. "As far as I know, there are quite a few worlds here, all with factions struggling for sovereign territory. Primes, beings like you and me, are coveted for our powers of destruction and creation , as well as our inability to die.

"These collars we wear are designed to force primes to serve master whether they like it or not. If you don't follow orders... there are worse things than death." Koals tone became dark and grave, his eyes carrying a haunted gloom. He then held out a hand, and omnilium coalesced into a prism of rainbow colors.

"The omnilium that we carry within us can be used to created anything that you put your mind to, provided you have en-"

"Anything, you say? Interesting. I was under the distinct impression that it was useless, except for summoning little trinkets and other such minuscule objects."

"I can teach you how to use it, if you'd like."

"That would be very agreeable, Mr. Lynch. Very agreeable indeed."

[Beta Ray Bill]

Doom stared intensely into Koal's violet eyes, the sovereign  leader of Latveria was studying the demon, for there was clearly something there inside the being that reminded Victor of a all to familiar feeling, ambition. Perhaps what reminded him the most of that feeling that he could see and feel in Koal was his stance and personality. The boy was clearly inquisitive and seen through his reactions that if something was unknown to him he would explore and exploit whatever it may be. This feeling that Koal possessed gave Doctor Doom the advantage, for the boy would willingly accept and learn what Doom had to offer and what Doom had to offer was the knowledge of power to quench the thirst  of ambition. Before the great and all powerful Victor Von Doom could show the demon any of that he would need to learn what the student had to give first and what he had was gift, a small kernel to what would give Doom what he would need to assume power these verses and perhaps deal with pretender Omni.   

The aromored king pushed aside his chair and the table they had been using for their small game of chess. 

"So... Mr. Lynch if you would be as so kind to as to enlighten Doom with the knowledge needed to grasp the power of the Omnilium, so then Doom may fully display power in this realm of existence."  Doom said raising his metal fist to his head giving the a look as if he were giving a speech. 

Koal cocked his right eyebrow and his face turned to a confused look. Given to Koal's reaction it was clear that he still was not use to the way Doctor Doom expresses himself especially the way he speaks in third person and stats everything as if he was being recorded. 

The Demon pulled the Omnilium that was in his possession out from his black of his pockets.

"Yeah sure... I'm willing to help I mean show you how Omnilium works, but why do you speak the way you do? you sound like your being recorded." Koal said griping the multicolored orb in one hand and pointing it towards an empty space in the black cobblestone room. 

Doom folded his metal plated arms, his eyes were transfixed on the orb that laid in Koal's right hand. 

Could this object be one of the keys toward the domination of these groups of realms? Perhaps, Bah, only time and patience shall answer such a question.

"Yes, all that I say must be recorded for I am truly and always will be a ultimate being of the multiverse." Doctor Doom said giving Koal nod to proceed with what he is about to do. 

Still confused the demon just went on with what he was about to do, better not to push such an issue. 

"Right... Anyways Omnilium, it's an extension of yourself here. A physical representation of your will being turned into reality. If you focus hard enough, anything you want can be yours."  As he explained the multicolored sphere begin to hum with life and the object its self began to grow brighter. "Focus on the energy inside of you, and will it to come into our plane of existence. Then, fix in your mind an object." 

Outstanding, this Omnilium may have a use after all.

As the orbs humming intensified and colors grew even brighter the form of some sort of object began morph into existence. With in moments the formation of the object had stopped and there standing before Doom and Koal stood what would be the same creature that had brought Doom to this fortress of barbarians. "Like so, now of course you may try it yourself."

Doctor Doom stepped beside Koal his metal feet made pinging noises with each step he made. Pulling out his own Omnilium from his tattered green cloaks pocket and pointed toward another empty space in the room he had been confined in. Taking only a moment of thought Doom knew what he wanted to do with the orb. With one swipe of pure thought his armor could be fixed and non the last he would be able the one thing that slowed the progress to power, the inability to be at two places at once. Doom's brown eyes widened as poured out all of his concentration into the spawning of what he most desired for the current situation. The orb that laid in the palms of his metal hand grew in color and hummed with energy and power. With in another moment the orbs energy began to form all around Doctor Doom making its progress to repair his damaged armor. A few meters away from him another portion of the sphere's raw energy was formulating what would soon be a machine. This machine was non like any other for this one only severed its master, Doctor Doom and many will recognize it as a Doombot. 

Within another few minuets Doom's armor was completely repaired and the Doombot was fully constructed. The android itself was constructed to look similar to its master. The machine began to scan the entire room that it had been spawned into, before it stopped and keeled before Doom. 

"What is your biding lord Doom?" The android said without moving an inch from it position. Doom gestured for the machine to stand, the machines only reply was to do exactly what it was commanded to do. "My loyal Doombot you are to leave this fortress of ruffians and explore the other verse beside this one and come back once you have found something worthy of my attention and once you return you are to summarize your finding only to me, do you understand?" The android gave a nod in response.   

"Yes merciful lord Doom." 

The Doombot turned and walked toward the  dungeons door and busted it straight off its hinges. Once outside the room two raiders on  guard charged for the machine, but were unmercifully turned to ash from a blast of plasma from the Doombot's built in arm canon. With in shortly after the two raiders untimely demise the android activated its built in jet pack and smashed its way out of the fortress.      

Koal's only reaction to the event was to pull out on his swords and point it at Doom. 

 "I'm sorry that it must end this way, but my life is at streak here and what you just did right there isn't going to make these guys boss happy." 

Doctor Doom folded his metal arms and stood like a statue before Koal. "Fool you are squandering true power, these barbaric men are only weak pawns, only fit to serve greater men such you and I. Do not be foolish for us together are a force to be reckoned with. We are stronger as an ally. Ally yourself and you will have knowledge of the power you seek, you will be a lion among men. So Koal Lynch do you ally yourself with Doctor Doom or will you give up your freedom and forever be lost?" 

Before Koal could utter a single word a few dozen raiders piled into the cobblestone room and restrained Doom back on to his restraining  table.

[Koal]

Kicking open the door to the cell, his violet eyes were filled with an unknown emotion as he grabbed Doom, lifting him up by the arm.

"Just play along." Koal growled as he unshackled the man and dragged him through the hallways. Raiders who still trickled in the dark stone archways jeered and clapped the two on the backs.

"Where are you taking Doom, you heathen! I am not some puppet to be dragged and thrown about!" Koal snorted, keeping up the charade, and threw the green-cloaked man to the ground in front of a heavy iron gate.

"Puppet, meet floor. Floor, try not to hurt the puppet too bad." He steeped over to one of the handlers, a large, scarred hulk of a man. They exchanged a few words, a small laugh, and then the iron gate began to rise slowly. On the other side, a deafening roar of cheering spectators reached Dooms ears, and from his position he looked at Koal, beginning to ask a question.

"Why-"

"Listen closely. This is an arena, where they throw primes like you and me, against people stupid enough to think they can take us down. Don't kill quickly, but show no mercy. Give them a show, and you'll do well." He paused and helped Doom to his feet. "We will be heading down to the Blood Room. There you will prep yourself or battle." Doom gave a small nod, straightening his back slightly, still taller than Koal. Something about that irked the demonic swordsman.

Footsteps echoed in stone floors, bloodstains coloring the granite hues of red, brown, and black. A well sat in the center, a swirling pool of blood glowing ominously. Rusted and underused weapons sat on decrepit stands, and dust covered almost everything. Koal gave the familiar area no more than a second glance as he walked to the center of the pool, licking his lips, and slaking his thirst. The crimson liquid smooth his jagged nerves, and his body visually relaxed. He turned to a slightly perturbed Doom, his voice converting urgency.

"After our little stunt the other night, I've been kept on a short leash. Among other... less than enjoyable experiences. But what you said made sense. So I'm going to give you a heads up as to what to expect. The arena will not favor you. I'm fact, almost all odds will be stacked against you. Fight with distinction and cunning, and you should make it out alive." His hands reached up to the collar that both the Primes wore. "I've been working on a plan to get these off, I just need a little more time."

"Oh, and Doom?" The giant iron gate began to creep open.

"Good Luck."

[Beta Ray Bill]

Heavy  metal boots passed through the rusted steel gate scraping sand, dust, and ash in its owners path. Heat rose and hot moist wind sweep through Doom's green cloak causing it to flow upwards behind him. Each step he made the sound of people roaring as if they were in a stadium became louder and louder with each step of his steps getting closer to what Koal called the arena.

"These  Heavens, they dare wish for Doom to fight for their  entertainment." He began to chuckle a metallic laugh through his mask his brown eyes widening in anger. "Oh they will surly have their fun, the fun of death by the graceful hands of Doom for my mercy has run thin."

Exiting out of the catacomb like hallway Doom stepped inside the arena. The arena looked as just like any other arena would look like, the ground covered in sand or in this case ash severed as a substitute. A large stone wall with bleachers circling Doom and other gates such as the one he had exited were placed  various points in the coliseum. A giant announcers both towered was also on the north of the massive complex. 

The large crowd of what would be other raiders on the stone bleachers above Doom began to shout and boo down at him. Moving to the center of the gladiator pit Doctor Doom rapidly spun to the large announcers both as it boomed to life, raising his metal fist  to the level of his of his metallic mask and green hood, a light wind started to make his cloak flow to his right. 

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to today's main gladiator event, personally founded by Nisha her self!" The crowd started to roar even louder.  "What you see laid out before you is a man who claims to be invincible, indestructible, and above all else he claims to be no mere man but a god and he calls him self Doctor Doom."            

Various people in crowd began to shout in disheveled voices booing and cheering, the sound of the announcer chuckling boomed across the pit. 

"Why don't we see if his words are true, how about we see if this god of a man can stand against the entire arena!" This time the large crow went wild, they were thirsty for blood to spilled. 

"Fools I will crush you for the only entertainment you will receive is the Wrath of DOCTOR DOOM!" 

Loud clanging and scraping noises blared out in the far distance, the other gates are being opened. quickly turning and shielding his face from ash drifting up into the air  his brown eyes widening in anger at what he saw. Large groups of raider gladiators poured out onto the arenas field. All of the raiders wore makeshift armor and most of them carried swords and axes but a few were carrying guns and were all ready firing on Doom. 

Some of the raiders bullets had managed to hit Doom making tinging noises as they tore apart his cloak and made contact with his armor. In retaliation Doom energized himself with mystical energies and fired a beam of yellow energy. The blast of energy crashed into one the raiders tearing the makeshift armor and smoldering through his chest and knocking him hard to the ground. 

Thinking fast Doom summoned a shield around him in order to protect him from any other lucky shoots from the raiders. Bullets smashed into Doom's purple shield and fell to the ashy ground, his protection wouldn't be able to hold out for long. More and more bullets kept smashing into the shield until it finally started to give away. As fast as he could Doom aimed both of his hands toward two raiders and shot two blasts of powerful yellow beams of mystical energy. Both blasts tore the both of them apart painting the ashy ground with a new color, crimson red. 

four men from the large groups of raiders had finally gotten close enough to Doom were they could chop him down with their axes and swords. The two of the men tried to attack Doom in unison hoping their axes would slice Doom's limbs apart. Just barely dodging the two dolts's attacks, without hesitation Doom conjured green electricity that formed around his body raising both of his metal hands the green electricity discharged from his fingertips and coursed trough the sorry raiders bodies, the electrical discharges making their bones glow and skin boil, within seconds they were dead. 

Turning to the last two incoming raiders coming both his left and right sides, Doctor Doom first shot in rhythm a energy blast to his right and another to his left. The blast of mystical energy that Doom shot to his right had smashed into the raider's chest knocking off his feet and smashing into the ground. The blast Doom had shot to his left had perfectly cut off that raiders arm that has was carrying his weapon with blood spewing out. 

Before Doom catch his breath another wave of raiders came rushing for him there weapons raised above their heads, there was not enough time to pick off them this time he'd have to kill them quick and swiftly. Not wasting time Doom charged at darting group of blood hungry raiders, shouting in his wake. Getting close to them Doctor Doom blocked all of their down swings with his metal right hand all their blades were now locked onto Doom's right arm. With all the strength that he could muster Doom gave a large enough force of a push to knock all of them to the ashed ground. With his armor already electrified Doom took the advantage of the group of raiders on the ground and arched forking blots of green electricity that discharged and coursed through their body. With in mere seconds the group of barbarians's skin began seer and steam a few of their cloths even lit on fire.

Enraged and now with the heat of battle coursing through his veins and mind Doctor Doom unsuspectingly turned his metal head only to see him face to face with a rocket, colliding with Doom's armored chest he was engulfed in fiery explosion. The explosion and the rocket making contact with him forced Doom to his knees metal fist bracing him, His brown eyes twitched with pure rage.

These ungrateful heavens they have now sealed their complete and utter impending doom, they will surly know the meaning of pain as I Doom will unmercifully give them a slow embrace of death, for they will truly know the power of DOCTOR DOOM. 

Rage and powerful mystic energy built themselves into Doctor Doom's body his armor glowed red hot and steam poured from it. The last of the raiders rushed after Doom but before they could any hits a concussion knocked them to their feet and if any still stood they were soon swallowed by flames. 

Once the smoke and fire cleared Doom starring at the scorched stood slouching in front of the wreckage he had caused. The rest of the blood thirsty raiders had ether been turned into a charred carcasses of were just bones and ash. Such a move Doctor Doom had preformed  was not something that he could redone without rest and time to fully recharge his mystical energy.  Doom's armor was now severely damaged, cuts and bullet holes doted it and his cloaks hood and cape were now completely torn off.           

He stood in his position for what felt like hours gasping hard on precious oxygen and starring at the ground. He quickly straightened his posture and folded his arms once one of the gates opened. Stepping out from the darkness of the gate came Koal his weapons already drawn.

[Koal]

Nisha looked over at Koal as the would-be slaughter took a turn for the worse. Her green eyes looked bored and were filled with an unspoken order.

Deal with this.

Sighing, Koal leap off the platform, both swords drawn, his body tense in anticipation for the battle that would come. He heard the screeches of dying wyverns, and the death rattles of charred raiders. In the air, the smell of cooked flesh and the metallic tang of blood choked everything.

"After everything I've told you, everything I have offered you. A position of power, to be the master of your own fate, and tomboy be subjected to inferior rule. And still you fight for them?!" Doom raised his hands and blasted Koal with an arc of lighting, the Demons blood boiling and his skin darkening in places. Then Koal heard something that made him smile.

The lock on his collar had broken. As he came to that realization, his entire demeanor changed. It was almost as if his whole body relaxed, a sinister smirk appeared on his face, and a slight aura of pure hate emanated off of him. Ripping the infernal piece of tech off, he lazily dropped it to the ground and looked up at Nisha, who's eyes widened considerably. Koal dragged his gaze sideways to Doom, who looked confused before realization sparked in his dark eyes.

"Doom, electricity will fry the mechanisms of the collar. They cannot control us."

And with those words, Koal's eyes darkened to a pitch black; not even the whites of his eyes remained. The Demon was loose.

And it hungered for blood.

A nearby raider, who had watched in horrified fascination tried to run, but was tackled and Koal wrenched his head back and before he bit the man's throat out, he saw the resigned look bloom into life in his eyes. The death of hope. With a feral snarl, Lynch bit down, fangs shredding the man's jugular and drowning his scream. He then was smacked aside by a familiar strength.

Nisha, decked out in full combat armor, stood over the body, a bloodied mace in her hand.

"Time to put you down like the animal you are, slave."

Koals only response was a snarl.

He and Nisha charged one another, clashing together in the middle. By now, the blind rage had abandoned Koal, but the eve present edges that laid proof of its existence remained. He was still angry, but it was honed, like a red hot knife. He threw a punch, his armored fist colliding with her jaw, send her reeling before she quickly recovered. As she cleared the ringing from her head, Koal looked at Doom, his eyes wild with excitement. Doom felt a slight amount of apprehension enter his mind as he regarded the man with cautious interest.

"What're you waiting for?!"

Those words galvanized Doom to action. To fight and see who would become Heir to the Ash.

[Beta Ray Bill]

The combatants stood poised ready for a battle to the end, A battle that will send shock waves to this entire fortress, a duel to the finish there can only be one hire to the ash and to the victor all others will bow or parish to the absolute rule. Doctor Doom's armor was severely damaged, scratches, bullet holes, and bludgeoning marks doted his entire suit. His cloak was also shredded to peaces making Doom look even menacing. 

Koal was the exact deference compared to his armor, it only he had small dents and nearly see able scratch marks. However Koal's face and humanoid body was a different story. The demons skin was a lot more paler then had been and his body its self was starting to look more like a skeletal demonic monster with his face sunken in and both eyes were now violet and even his claws seemed a bit longer. 

The sovereign and demon stared into the savage raider warlords eyes awaiting for the perfect moment even if hours passed, this fight would only end one way, death. Wind started to pick up causing a small ash cloud storm, Koal gave a loud roar in anticipation. Nisha herself readied her blade and maneuvered her body in striking stance. Doom towering over them shifted his damaged gauntlets into a position where he could charge himself with mystic energy and so he could throw his blasts of energy or electricity faster. 

"After all the mercy we, I have given you Koal and this is what I get? You backstabbing me! It is a shame we could have made you strong within our group, its surly is a shame I have to put you down like the dog you are." 

The storm winds picked up even more making it harder to see through the ash clouds surrounding them. What was left of Doom's cloak was now flowing heavily in the air ashy air. Koal's violet eyes glowed through it making his cold stare feel as if death itself was present in the arena. The demon gave loud shirking snarl his talons and razor sharp teeth fully etched out. 

"Lies! Your mercy is nothing, you and especially your raider group are nothing but anchors chaining me down, keeping me from full potential. You fear absolute power, I am hate and rage incarnate! With Doom at my side nothing will stop us and I will enjoy watching you bleed bitch!"

Koal's voice was abnormally deeper then it was normally each and every part of his core was driving upon hate and anger, this women was going to pay for torturing and enslaving him.    

With an earsplitting shriek the monstrous hate fueled demon jumped into a full sprint lunging into the air above Nisha. deciding back to the ashen ground Koal brought his right fist down landing a powerful punch to Nisha's face. Her only response was to back hand the ravaging demon away. The warlord not at expecting a blast from Doctor Doom, the yellow beam of energy dispersing off her armored chest leaving a scorch mark and pushing her a few inches. Quickly recovering from the backhand Koal took the advantage in front of him and side flipped into the air landing a skull cracking round house kick. 

Nisha was definitely taking a good bit of abuse but the fight in her was not over. Going in for another hit Koal lunged through the air with his claws ready to rip and tear but he was utterly stopped as Nisha's armored knee collided with his gut sending him to the ground winded. Now with the advantage turned to her side Nisha grabbed Koal by his and kicked him back a few meters back. Even if she was a prime killer she would still feel the wrath of Doom. Koal not his way Doom aimed one of his gauntlets at Nisha and fired a large surge of green electricity. The electricity coursed through her body making her skeleton frame glow. Nisha now whittled down a good bit, her movement was slower and she slouched instead of standing straight. a good question now is how much more can she take?

Focusing her attention to she charged for him bringing her heavy blade down at him, she never suspected that Doom would have foreseen her attack and brought up a purple instant shield. The shield was clearly able to protect Doctor Doom from her strike but wasn't strong enough to still stand from her heavy attack and shattered. Nisha quickly turned her attention to Koal as her after her from her side. With Koal nearing her she brought her blade down at Koal. Koal was able to side step the blow and used it to launch himself into the air flipping. Falling back to the ground Koal brought another hard punch down on her face this time making a loud thud noise. Keeping it in a chain Doom shoot another energy blast that tore into her back. 

Crouching low to the ground Koal not letting up the offensives charged at her for another attack this time pulling his short sword from his back sheath. Both the Demon and the raider warlord were virtually locked sword duel, both fighting at blinding speeds and using divergent strikes. 

Calculating his aim Doom shoot another energy blast as Koal and Nisha's blades locked. The blast collided with both blades freeing them for their unending lock, the blades were also super heated as a result from the energy blast. Using his demonic speed and strength Koal pressed another attack this time smashing Nisha's sword into pieces. With out wasting a precious time to strike Koal bought his red hot blade through her shoulder. Screaming in utter sheer pain Nisha planted her fist into Koal face reeling him back a few inches. 

Koal's feral instincts kept him from falling back or losing control of attack, once more he lunged after Nisha. Koal's razor-edged teeth bit down on her left arm ripping skin and tendons. With all of her strength Nisha punched and beat Koal into letting go. Finding another opportunity  Doom shot a large arc of green electricity that knocked Nisha hard to the ashy ground. This was it the fight was over the warlord had been beaten, now the only thing left to do is finish her.         

Koal pounced on top of her mauling her with his talons, mustering enough strength Nisha was able to kick Koal off but she was no match for Doctor Doom stepping up and clenching her throat tight. Green electricity flickered and sparked off his shattered armor, rasing his other hand Doom coursed thousands of volts into the Warlords face. The electricity only stopped when blood splattered onto both Doom and Koal's face. Doctor Doom release  his grip  folding his arms and taking moment to rest.  

It was over the battle had been won. The ash storm had cleared revealing that the other raiders spectating had ether fled or died in the storm. 

"It is done Koal we are supreme to all others here and I Doctor Doom shall state this. You have gained my respect, something not easyly grated by Doom. Now with our freedom I ask you if you shall join me, I am in need of allies if I am to regain my full aspect of power, So Koal Lynch shall join Doom?" 

Koal eyes met with Doctor Doom's eye slits, his body had finally went back to normal. 

"Yes I will aid you in your travels but only to gain power myself." 

Doom chuckled, "Excelent! then let us take the spoils of this victory for Doom is in dire need to replace this obsolete suit."
