The guard screamed as he saw them get closer. Two people who descended from the heavens and, despite warnings, have torn through the defenses of Dr. Doom like they were nothing. The man got close, grabbing him by the neck and his eyes burned. "I asked merely to talk. YOU attacked US. I have just shown how big of a mistake that is. I am not who you think I am. I am here to treat with Doom, not destroy him. You WILL contact him...unless you want to know what it is like for two heat beams to burn a hole through your head." Superman snapped at him as he stood there, like a wrathful God.
But this was not the hero, this was a counterpart from a world where he ruled. A world were Joker broke him by making him kill everything he loved due to Scarecrow's fear gas. A world where he ran a tight Regime until his Bruce dragged in outside help from counterparts of a like mind. "I can help him achieve his goals..and him me. That is all I ask." He let him go.
"Be quick about it. I did not hold back on killing all comers because of the goodness of my heart. It would be poor taste to do so if we are here on good terms." Wonder Woman snapped as she pointed her blade at the rest, who she had rounded up.

Wonder Woman snapped as she pointed her blade at the rest, who she had rounded up. Suddenly, a sort of metallic clapping noise was heard. Dr. Doom was standing on the roof of the castle, looking at this display and clapping. "Such ruthlessness and violence. You could have made for good enforcers... but now, enough of games. Guard, let them in, if they want to negotiate with Doom, they have no right to stay out there." said Doom. "Meet me at my throne room, there we can talk without interruptions." He then took off and flew to his throne room.

Superman smirked as he dropped the man. Within and eye blink they were there. "I assume the rumors of your intellect are true enough that you understand I am not who they thought I was." Superman touched down. "Far from that weakling. I am one who understood the weakness of man needed a more...direct hand on them and conquered my world."
"A world that no longer exists, thank to the Observer, except in some fragments here and there, like all other worlds dragged into this." Diana stood there with him. "Do not expect a bend at the knee either. We come as equals."
"We are currently forced to serve alongside the Necromancer, Quan Chi, as he saved me from my enemies...who dragged in help from another universe to topple my order, as they were too weak to do it themselves. They even went so far as to turn my own flesh and blood on me. I cannot let this stand, and I know you would not. The man commands various resurrected and undead beings. If you could turn them...this would be an army to be feared." Superman told him. "On top of that, he works alongside General Zod, and various survivors of my world. Think on it Doom...an army of Supermen on your side. Who could beat that?"
"Think us fools." An armored woman stepped forward. "Such a thing would not be so easily contained by us. That much power...would require many checks on our end."
"And you are?" Wonder Woman said.
"Victorious, Herald of Doom, Hero of Latveria...and that loyalty is the reason I did not come for your heads. Do not test yourself on me, Diana of Themescrya, I was born for war as much as you were." She stood there.
"Hardly." Wonder Woman sneered.
"Diana." Kal glanced at her. "She is right...we need to assure we can keep them in check. Then again...we don't NEED Zod for long. Martyrs can be useful too." He smiled.
Victorius glared. "Such dubiousness."

And I know about you... ruler of your universe... someone worth of Dr. Doom's respect." said Doom. Doom rubbed his hands as he listened to his words. An army of undead beings and Kryptonians. This could be quite a new approach to world domination. He then looked at the Regime Superman. "You are right, Man of Steel. I wouldn't stand for it if my own flesh and blood was turned on me. Your points are valid." said Doom. Doom looked at Victorious and then back at the Regime Superman. "Forgive my Herald. She is quite impulsive at times, but she has a point. Before we make a deal, I must be certain that you will be able to deal with any unexpected side-effects if they happen." said Doom.

"She should know her place if all she is, is a servant." Wonder Woman said to her.
"Your attempts to provoke me are laughable. I am Doom's Sword and Shield. I am not some dog on a leash." Victorious stood there. "I might be paranoid, but the last thing I want is the remnants of his home worlds military or the cursed undead slipping through the cracks here. If the issue I brought up bothers you so much, then maybe it is an issue on your end too?"
"Valid point, and I cannot speak for Zod, short of I killed mine when he got in the way. I can do it again." Superman assured them both. "I have done so many times before."

Her concerns are always valid and she is more powerful than she looks... so do not underestimate her." said Doom. He then went to Victorious and stroked her face. "Your concern for your master is appreciated, my dear." said Doom.

"So...she is your wh" Diana's eyes widened as Victorious was already on her, grabbing her by the face. She even got past Superman without much effort.
"I can warp the spacial plane Ms. Prince. With no effort at all I can leave you adrift in the void of space, light years away from Earth. That was your last slip. No, I am not his whore. Unlike you...I do not need to bed my superiors to have a working relationship with them." She then shoved her to the ground. "That was for mocking Doom. Be glad it was me, I am more merciful than the ruler of this land. Mind that, would you? He has toppled greater foes." She turned and walked past Superman without so much as a look.
"I warned you..." Superman told her.
"You did. I just don't like that one..." Wonder Woman rubbed her jaw as she got up.

"The results can be rather... chaotic." He then sat back in his throne. He started thinking about Reed Richards' death. "Aaahhh... you do not know how joyous these last few months have been for me. Then again, when the only person that rivals you in intellect is no more, you should feel this kind of joy." said Doom. "I always knew I would be the superior one... Reed Richards had nothing on me... he may have rivaled my intelligence, but he took so little care of himself that he died. And now, I do not have any true rivals."

"I would have thought a man of your caliber would be anger at being denied the deed. Seems you have one over on Luthor." Superman spoke to him. "So what are your plans in this new world?"

"I would have thought a man of your caliber would be anger at being denied the deed. Seems you have one over on Luthor." Superman spoke to him. "So what are your plans in this new world?" "Subjugate it and turn it into an utopia, like my kingdom of Latveria. I want to be named Master of the World. But for that, I must try to take control of the UN delegates." said Doom. "Then, they shall all vote for me and make me their ruler. Everyone shall submit to my iron will. And yes, I feel that childish trifles like thinking about being robbed of something are beneath me. Richards proved that I am the superior one by dying. And nothing shall take away the joy I have due to his death."

"But you have a bigger threat on both sides now: Not just in the superhumans but the Supreme Obsever. You see...you are too good at your job." Superman stepped forward. "While you are a man willing to do what must be done...ultimately you are a being of order. Whereas the Observer prefers anarchy and chaos." He stopped short of the throne. "Finding others to assist will prove difficult. The Lex's and Hydra's will prove more enticing as at least they serve his cause."

I will not tolerate anyone interfering with my plans. Not even him. I shall be the one to bring an end to this Supreme Observer." said Doom. "I am prepared in case I have to face him in order to protect my future kingdom. I have captured the Silver Surfer, and plan to take his Power Cosmic. Then, not even the Observer shall defy me. And yes, your concerns are well founded. Finding allies has been quite difficult. But now, at least I have you."

"Don't be so sure it is that easy." Superman said to him. "That is kind of the rub, we face a man pulling in whole facets of existence and smashing them together into one...possibly for good. The worlds we used to rule are no more...because of him. You might need more than the Surfer alone. It would be wise to research other facets...see if you can find..." Superman reaches behind his cape and pulls out a red orb. "...more power." Just then a large dragon materialized and let out a roar.
"It is called Materia. This one summons a dragon named Bahamut SIN." Superman smiled. "Not from either world huh?"
The creature stared, snorting.
"Here...a gift." He tossed it. Victorious caught it and handed it to Doom. "I think this is more your style."

"I think this is more your style." Doom held the orb. He then chuckled a bit. "Oh, yes... this is a wonderful idea." said Doom. He then looked at Regime Superman. "You really are quite similar to me. You have such brilliant ideas." said Doom.

"Well everyone is so hung up on army building, that they forget...things came over too. There has to be many things who lost their masters, ripe for the taking." Superman grinned. "If we only dare to look."
"And there it is: You wish for Doom to help you track things down, looking for a hand out." Victorious said to her.
"No. I do not need him for that. I can track enough down myself. But in the end, it is down to the two of us. This also has to be a numbers game. No one force can do it alone. Not in the face of such unknowns. For all you know there is something in the darkness of space or something that would have your begging for the worst you ever saw in your world. The wise merely have to come together, shore up and prepare." Superman explained to her.
