Taking the Gods' Stage is a time-limited event in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia where Kuja from Final Fantasy IX can be added to Mog's group of warriors. This paralogue of the main scenario is located after Chapter 9.
==Story==
Aboard one of the airships of the Red Wings fleet, Golbez and Kuja discuss about the latter's plans. One particular presence in this conflict disturbs him: Mog's. Kuja plans to join the warriors of Materia to learn about Mog's "true identity".
Meanwhile, on Eden's part of Nieveus, Mog is accompanied by multiple warriors, including Zidane, Vivi, and Steiner, when a dimensional distortion appears in front of them. Kuja emerges from it and starts teasing the group, creating on them the urge to fight him.
After his defeat, Kuja allows himself to be summoned by Mog, surprising the group and, especially Vivi. Edgar and Balthier start questioning this turn of the events. Kuja leaves before being insisted to reveal his goal.
Vivi starts feeling scared because of what happened in his home world with the black mages. Zidane comforts his friend, promising that if Kuja does something bad in this world, he will bring him down with his own hands. Edgar and Balthier empathize with the black mage, but they think that having Kuja on their side is a huge advantage on their mission.
Sometime on the near future, some warriors reunite without Mog being present when Kuja appears out of nowhere. This worries the group, since no one can be teleported without Mog. Serah tries to cross-examine him. but Kuja starts lecturing them about the world and the gods, and reveals that he was summoned by Spiritus and that the God of Destruction only cares for power. After worrying the warriors, Kuja admits that Materia and Spiritus's rivalry and the world's destruction is the least of their problems since something more complicated was going on. This sows the seeds of doubt, making the light warriors question Mog. Kuja then leaves.
Terra starts worrying but the Warrior of Light, who still maintains his composure about Kuja's revelations, comforts her. He also ask his partners that, if they see a fellow warrior doubtful or uneasy about something, they should support each other.
