While King Durran Illian fought for his life in the Jasmine Palace, Commander Suicide had secured the halls of Valhalla, and had claimed Gugnir and Mjolnir from the fallen Odin and Thor. Now, he was allowing a brief time for his troops to rest and recuperate before continuing his offensive.

Suddenly, a messenger came in, panting from exhaustion.

"Commander Suicide! The Red Hulk has appeared on Mount Olympus, taking away Zeus' Thunderbolt and the Spear of Ares!"

"Then my battalions will be there to meet them!" The Crimson - clad General spoke. His mercenaries, composed of Mongols who fought similarly to his original people, let out a loud hurrah. The surviving Norse gods and their servants joined them, having allied with Suicide in the first place in order to eject the Multiverse Lords from their realm.

As the NMFL Commander marched to the enemy stronghold with his troops, thoughts of anger rose up to his mind as he remembered the deaths of Nume, Illaren, and Dio during the evacuation of HQ. He raged as he remembered the Pila (javelins thrown by the Roman Legions) pirceing their flesh as they tried to give him time to escape to safer places. His fingers twitched around Mjolnir's handle, anticipating the time that he would have his fill of blood.

When his army arrived at the Gates of Olympus, the Red Hulk had already sent out TIE Fighters and Bombers to stop them. The Graeco - Sycthian showed his contempt for them by commanding a battalion of Tengri (Mongol Sky Spirits) to tear them apart. He then had his troops use Gunpowder (which the Mongold did have historically) to blow up the Gates.

"Take no prisoners!" he roared as swift Mongol horsemen began peppering the mountain with arrows. While Red Hulk's Legion had blasters and grenades, the magical expertise of Suicide's Mongols proved more powerful. As the battle drew on, the sky became red with blood, an omen of favour for both combatants.

Suicide slew and slew and slew and slew. His hands were thourougly red with blood. He howled challenges at Red Hulk, calling him a coward for failing to face him personally. Finally, he recieved an answer as he reached the highest palace.

"I will come for you, Greek Scum! Your head will ornament my master's halls, and I will be his favourite general! Not Vect or Skynet!" Red Hulk came out of the palace doors, Zeus' Thubderbolt and the Spear of Ares in hand.

New Sirion, Jasmine Palace

Makes - Things' talents had greatly blossomed during the time after the PPC's destruction. No longer bound by the limiting rules imposed by the SO, he was free to create powerful inventions that would have been classified as 'game breaking' or 'munchkiny'. Not merely that, but he had now been given the wealth and power he deserved, as Durran Illian gave him generous amounts of gold for even the slightest technological improvement.

He was finally happy, content in the fact that his contribution to the NMFL's war effort was indespensable. The days of being looked down upon by Agents who mistreated his CADs and cursed his alarm systems were finally over. Now, he was given the honors accorded to the greatest generals, with a fine mansion and vineyards being given to him in the suburbs of the Capital.

Techno - Dann, now a cyborg after grave injuries sustained during the HQ evacuation, said: "We're 90% complete, sir. Soon, we'll have another new weapon to show his majesty, and more accolades to add to the ones we already have!"

Tess then said: "But we have a room filled with them already, and the King is finding it hard to find materials more precious than the Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Orichalcum to make trophies with."

The Venomous Tentacula then said: "What about Unobtainum? It's radioactive, but our leader certianly has a suit that can give him immunity to such things."

"You're right," said Makes - Things. "Maybe the king should -"

Suddenly, the doors to the Halls of Invention exploded, and two Death Eaters clearly possessed by Tzeentechian Daemons came in, wands drawn.

"Surrender before the might of the Dark King of the Multiverse!" they holwed. Makes - Things replied by smiling psychotically.

"Make Me," he said before pulling out a Fusion Blaster (those guns used by the Tau in 40K) and blasting a Death Eater into charred pieces.

"Avada Kedavra!" shouted the remaining Enemy Operative. But the Royal Inventor had a Personal Shield ready and activated, and it blocked the Killing Curse and bounced it onto the Death Eater. Makes - Things laughed.

He then took out a Gauss Flayer (super guns used by Necrons, also from 40K) and said to Dann, Tess, and the Venomous Tentacula: "Hold the fort until I get back. I have some pests to exterminate."
