Chapter 3: Unusual Alliance

A cosmic storm passes over a gigantic, grey and sketchy business building sitting upon a floating slab of obsidian. A trio of colorful basterds walk through the entrance and approach the front desk.

A grey figure with a bob cut and sunken sockets with no sign of eyes sat in a chair with a nice and tight suit and skirt followed by a red handkerchief tied around their forearm.

"Heh hey there beautiful" Regal winked as he took some mouth spray.

The secretary behind the desk began typing on their keyboard as they winced in disgust.

"Yeah, bet you're wondering what some mochow tall glass of water like me is doing in a dump like this. Well I got some proper four figure man business with the boss" he boasted before over extending his personal space as he hopped on to the desk and took a seat.

"So what time does your shift end, baby?" he said with a sly grin.

A long and building tentacle shot into the end from beneath the secretaries skirt and pointed to the elevator.

"We can head up now cretins!!!" Regal yelled like an idiot grabbing Salazar and Havoc's attention.

Salazar had been sitting at the waiting area reading a magazine about the political issue of the increase in alien immigrants taking up space in the citadel. He rolled his eyes, as Regal's voice, which sounded like broken glass, reached his ears. He closed the magazine and neatly placed it back onto the small table stand in front of him.

Havoc had been staring out a window, watching the cosmic storm raged outside. The lightning split apart the nebulas which were nearby, along with the sparkling rays of crystallized cosmic energy that poured down was quite the thing to behold. Though his peace was instantly disturbed by Regal's abhorrent voice, but regardless he made his way towards the elevator.

"Well I'll just write my number down here-" Regal was cut short of his attempts at flirting as Salazar grabbed him by the neck.

"Sorry, he won't bother you again" Salazar said, disgusted by Regal's lack of proper etiquette and respect.

The secretary had a gentle hue of blush over their face as they then blew a kiss towards Salazar.

"c-Call m-me!" Regal managed to blurt out as he held onto the core before being thrown into the elevator.

Salazar entered soon after as Havoc pressed a button that slowly sent the elevator moving up towards the highest floor.

Whilst in the elevator it was completely silent, with Salazar leaning his back against the elevator wall whilst Regal stood across from him, Havoc was standing in the center simply staring at the floor counter which was located above the elevator doors.

"I think they're into me" Regal said with pride

"Oh really? Guess what…" Salazar said his arms folded as he stared at Regal

"What?" Regal responded

"Nobody asked shit head" Salazar answered back as suddenly the elevator dinged and the doors slid open.

They had arrived at the hundredth floor, a long table stood a couple feet away from them as a desk lay beyond on the other side of the hazel table.

Each Fusion sat at this table, with three seats which were reserved for Regal, Salazar, and Havoc being the only ones along with Cyber-wares that were empty.

As soon as the three of them took their seats, everyone in the room faced towards the desk which was near the giant glass windows. The leather chair facing the cosmic storm beyond, as lightning struck hard in the space between the Eden Orbs.

"Thank you all for arriving so...promptly" Que said gently as they quickly swiveled in their chair and now faced everyone who sat at the comically long table in front of them.

"Refreshments?" Que said, snapping their fingers as Christ slithered into the meeting room with a tray of drinks balancing on the poor creature's head.

Christ began to slowly deliver everyone a drink as Que continued to speak.

"Well then, as you can see the first half of phase one was a success-" Que was suddenly interrupted

"Are you even surprised? It was all thanks to my quick thinking and bravery whilst Salazar and Havoc were little more than frightened newborns" Regal said with a shit eating grin as he spun the reality core on his finger.

Suddenly the core was snatched from Regal by an obscene force before appearing on Que's desk.

"Regal, interrupt me like that again and I'll tell Odin to give you prostate cancer" They said with a deep sigh.

The crackle of yellow sparks from out the corner of Regals eye was all he needed to keep his mouth shut.

Que looked towards Salazar seeing his hands raised and nodded their head allowing him to speak.

"Now that you mention it, where is Cyber-ware? I assume his mission was unsuccessful?" He said with a polite gesture.

Que snapped their fingers once more, the floor next to the left side of their desk splitting open and lifting up a glass vat full of pure mainframe code.

A highly damaged and on his deathbed cyberware could be seen within through the foggy glass.

"You'd be correct, it was little more than an utter waste of time," Que said in a distorted voice before slamming their fist onto the desk.

Regal raised his hand, Que gave him a very nonchalant look before facing calming.

"What…" Que groaned

"Well why are we so interested in this disgrace all the way in the dastardly booneys?" Regal questioned

Que took a second to think upon that before chuckling

"Well then, that disgrace possesses something unbenounced to the rest of this accursed world of Eden...to defy a greater will…" Que said their mind drifting into deeper thought before being brought back to the sound of Regal scoffing.

"And what does defying get us?" Regal said annoyed

"God-hood" Que said without a moment's hesitation, everyone shifted in their seats.

"Are you saying we could-" Salazar was cut off by Que

"We can go beyond Eden itself," Que explained.

Suddenly one of the fusions stood up and headed towards the elevator

"Oh? And where are you going?" Que said with intrigue

"I have no time for your pointless schemes…" Thor boomed as his heavy footsteps entered the elevator

Que leaned their head onto their hand as they pressed a button on their office intercom.

"Please get me in contact with our business partner," Que said to the first floor secretary.

The hushed voices off all the fusions before Salazar spoke aloud.

"Business partner?" Salazar questioned

Que took a couple seconds before responding

"Let me keep it simple for you all, I don't trust Thor and as such I've already made arrangements, he'll be encountering a hefty earthquake soon enough…" Que said with a tired look on their face

Back within the present

Thor gently touches the ground, his grace was a stock contrast compared to his build.

"Hey, are you a fusion?" Exalted said with haste.

"Yes-" Thor said, getting cut off as he was immediately hit with several blast from a shadow caster courtesy of Exalted

Staff looked at Exalted then back at where Thor last was, before then slapping the shit out of the back of Exalteds head.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOU'RE ISSUE!?" Exalted screeched

"I DON'T THINK HE WANTED TO FIGHT ASSHOLE, COULD'VE GIVEN HIM A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF YOU ABSOLUTE RETARD!!!" Staff scolded

Thor's hammer suddenly levitated into the air before slamming into both Staff and Exalted.

Thor teleported back to his previous position before then staring at KOB.

"Are your friends always bickering so loud?" Thor said softly as he folded his arms.

"Well- dunno just met em' but I'd assume this won't be the last time...so uh, want some mountain dew spiked with coffee?" Kob offered

"Oh no thank you, I'm on a diet" Thor said politely as Exalted and Staff got up and dusted themselves off

"So why the fuck are you here anyway?" Exalted snarled.

"I come to forge an alliance, it is in both our interest you accept without delay" he reverberated

"Why should we? How do we know this isn't just another trick? What's your master after?" Staff said a little sketched at the current situation

"Que plans to become a god...high above Eden itself, none of us will be spared from her new order, neither the good nor the wicked" Thor explained as he holstered his mighty hammer.

The discussion was suddenly interrupted as something gigantic smashed into the planet, completely shifting it off its axis. Everyone fell to the ground from the force and movement of the planet.

Staff's eyes widened in horror as he caught a glimpse at what had caused this.

"Did you miss me…Staff?” Faker cackled in absolute madness
