I looked around the large block of protosteel that I called the meeting table at my forty-six generals. As soon as I'd returned, I'd gotten around to making some much-needed modifications.
"You can talk to me, you know. You are my children, after all."
Venom looked up, flexing the new tongue I'd made for him. "Yes, we remember that the generals could talk... still a bit weird how we have tongues now."
I nodded. "You're my children. Why shouldn't I give you this gift? Now, use your gift wisely. Though I will tolerate a certain level of insubordination, I will not tolerate outright rebellion."
Venom glared at me. "In which case, may I recommend that we get rid of that fat thing? It damn near destroyed my legs!"
I paused. "Really?" That hadn't been communicated. I picked up Malideus' piece, staring at it. Should I give the kill order yet?
After a moment's thought, I shook my head. Malideus was still useful to me... though his usefulness was steadily declining. It hadn't before, but it was now. If he couldn't control his own minions...
I returned to the subject at hand. "Not yet, Venom. But I assure you, Malideus' usefulness to me WILL reach an end. And the demon known as Gondon will be destroyed."
Venom grinned. "Good. I want it to suffer."
I nodded. Anybody who threatened my family would get destroyed. "Now, returning to the subject at hand: other humans."
I gave a signal to Magnifico, a Rahkshi of Illusion. With a wave of his staff, a complex illusion of all the humans I had identified through the Orb of Vision appeared.
I gestured. "As I'm sure you all know, my fellow humans all exist in alternate versions of Equestria. Most of them aren't human anymore, like me."
With another wave, more pictures of them came up, the demon, Nemesis, various others who didn't even have their own species for comfort. I continued talking.
"I believe that none of them will pose any threat to the plan's initial stage. But the second stage faces significant risk from several select humans. As such, I have plans to destroy them as soon as they prove to be a threat."
With a flicker, one human's image grew larger. Intimidating and dressed in black, its Darth Vader helmet with extra horns would have intimidated most people. As it was, I thought he looked ridiculous.
"Darth Vulcan. He's a teenager with an Alicorn Amulet. And just as dangerous as that implies." I snorted.
"He's a weak-willed fool who's a slave to his own tool. I expect him to be killed by the alicorns of his world in a couple of months. He is not fit to even lick my foot." He was a pretentious teenager with some serious mysantthropy issues. Not fit to even think about joining forces with.
Tavish nodded, laughing boisterously. "Aye, but he could be a threat, otherwise why talk about him?"
I clapped to the Rahkshi of Fragmentation. "Unfortunately, he is a threat. Thanks to that Amulet, he's an incredible threat, if a mentally deluded one. That's why, Tavish, I want you to make sure that he isn't. Keep an eye on him, and should he mobilise against me in the second stage, kill him. Decapitate him and bring me his head as a trophy."
That done, another image appeared, of an armoured warrior with the emblem of the sun on his chest. "The next item on the agenda is Solaire of Astora. From my views of him, he appears to be... unkillable."
Skrillex raised a hand. I pointed to the Rahkshi of Sonics. "Yes, Skrillex?"
He gestured at the image of the knight with one hand, while the other started spinning his staff around. "Nothing's unkillable. Are you sure that they're trying to kill him?"
I nodded briefly, continuing. "You're quite right. He can be killed, but he doesn't die. Instead, he... respawns, for lack of a better word, around a bonfire."
I grinned, chuckling. "Which is why I've built a cell with enough magic suppressants on it that even he couldn't teleport out, and placed a bonfire there, in case he comes here."
Skrillex clapped. "Your genius truly knows no bounds sir."
I waved the praise off. "You don't have to tell me what the universe and I already know, Skrillex. But back to the matter of Solaire. Very dangerous, especially with that... humanity of his."
I sneered distastefully. "He's an idealistic fool, but those are often the best kind."
Another image appeared, of Malideus, the dark wizard. I looked at Venom, Tavish and Sek. "You three know who he is."
Sek nodded. "He's the idiot, isn't he? Is he even qualified to find his own arse?"
I shook my head. "I understand his plight, but I have to agree with you: he's a moron. Still, he's a moron with a demon inside of him. A very, VERY powerful demon. Might have to kill him just to get that demon for myself."
Venom nodded eagerly. "Do it sir. Do it now."
I shook my head and steepled my fingers. "Later, my dear Venom. Later." I then stood up.
"I want somebody to keep a close eye on him. Sek!"
The Rahkshi of Disintegration focused on me again. "Yes sir?"
I pointed at him. "You will go to Malideus' world, and keep an eye on him. If he deviates from the course I have planned for him, then you are to kill him. Understood?"
Sek nodded. "Crystal clear sir."
I paused. "Oh, and inform Jarvis that he is not to inform Malideus of your existence. If he does, I will personally extract him and end his vacation. Got that?"
Sek nodded again, hand resting on his staff. "Again, it's crystal clear sir."
I looked at him. "Don't call me sir. You bow to no-one."
I gestured to Magnifico again, and this time the image of Kat appeared."Kat, gravity manipulator, capable of tearing the planet apart. And very nearly succeeded too. Motivated by the death of a stuffed cat, the most retarded excuse for a revenge plot that has ever existed."
I chuckled. "She honestly thinks that, because the stuffed cat could talk, that it's worth getting excited about! Insects and animals talk in their own languages, and do we care when they die? No, we don't."
I paused, reflecting on her. "Still, for what it's worth, she's a hero." I spat the last word out as if it had a nasty taste in my mouth, which it honestly did. I pointed at John Smith, my Rahkshi of Stasis Field.
"Go there. Keep an eye on her. If she's a threat, put her in stasis and just cut her throat. Her immortality isn't absolute. She can be harmed, and thus she can be killed. Stay undetected, and watch her from afar."
Another flicker, and the image of a golden pony with a flaming orange hair appeared. "Auric Fulcrum, the Wielder of the Flames of Alchemy. Another dangerous heroic type. If he comes here, you are to kill on sight. Do you hear me? Kill. On. Sight. Right now, he's able to be wounded, and thus there is a possibility of killing him. Or if you can't, then paralyse him and bring him to me. I'll absorb him."
A final flicker, revealing a tall, muscular figure with a huge, metallic head, dragging an oversized knife around. Most of the Rahkshi in the room drew back a little. I smirked. "Pyramid Head. Currently residing in Silent Hill. Of all of them, he's the biggest threat because within his home dimension he is invincible. Thus, all I should really have to do is remove him from said dimension, and then snap that rangy neck."
I gazed around the room. "Any questions?"
Nobody moved. I felt mildly happy. "Then it's decided." I slammed the butt end of my staff on the floor.
"Meeting adjourned."
So I guess Teridax doesn't know about Auric's healing-factor type Immortality. All I can say is good luck.
...and I'm curious how he's going to rip Pyramid Head from his own dimension. PH does have a God on his side.
4623063 And based on the author's comments, nothing WILL go wrong... In this story... More or less... Well, Teridax is going to win this one anyway.
Kinda doubt the other humans will end up dead, since that would cut off their stories, and we KNOW Auric ends up fine seeing as his stories are finished. Now, will they likely have to deal with Teridax and his minions in the future? Quite possibly.
Author, if you would elaborate on possible future crossovers? K'thx bye!
Wait none of your villanse where mentioned... why?
4623112
Teridax won't make a move until other humans make a move against him. Right now, he's just passively observing humans in order to ascertain which of them are threats to him.

I realize the answer's coming several weeks late, but still:

"Yes, your only eye."

4622270 Fair enough. I guess this Teridax isn't as strong as the true Teridax.
Click. Click. Click.
This gives me an idea.
So. If you kill the other bad guys won't you like, piss off the authors?
HAHAHA oh my god the Bionicles. It's been so long but I still recognize all the names
Might have to actually try reading this now
Saw that mask and immediately thought of bionicles
You're on a roll, man! So many updates so quickly!
4623319
Actually, this was proven.
When Teridax faced the Toa Metru, he had to deal with the mental strain of absorbing:
a muscle bound idiot
an admittedly highly intelligent Dark Hunter
and a bird.
He lost because of that strain. Now imagine what it would be like for him to absorb beings that are about as old as he is.
4623435
He won't kill them off. Only if they become a threat.
Which should be in the sequel.
Hehehehehe... Skrillex
So far teridax is the best evil genius in LoHaV in my opinion
Soo... I see that pyramid head and auric are on the potential hit list.
Also
Makuta Teridax: Skill increases.
+5 to invention
+10 to bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate

Hope you don't object, ive taken to doing a skill increase comment in each new chapter of the stories I follow. If u no like, just tell me.
4624572
Keep doing that good thing.
4623807 Really? I thought it was A. technically because of the whole crystallized protodermis thing and B. because it was part the whole "The Plan" thing.
And in The Kingdom, didn't Teridax absorb almost every other Makuta?
4624860
As I see it, Teridax had three major screw-ups over the entire plan.
1. The Toa Metru being the wrong Matoran.
2. Takanuva fusing with him.
3. He pulled the meteorite down on himself; note that this was his last mistake.
In the Kingdom, I think he absorbed them sequentially, so that he could assimilate the other mind into his own without so much strain. Plus, when facing the Toa Metru he didn't pull out every single power he had to fight them; he just turned into a giant bird robot thing. His loss is attributed to the psychic strain that came from absorbing three different minds at once; sort of like eating three a dozen Big Macs at once I imagine.
Isn't possible to notice these creatures spying on them? I mean certain ones like Auric and Kat have sensing abilities, wouldn't they show up on radar? Also, Dusty was a real cat, just started out plush. Became real when it came to Equestria.
4624924 Very well, this round shall go to you.
But I shall remain vigilant.
4624968
It is possible. If you want them to be detected, then that is possible. Will likely result in Teridax intervening though. And he hasn't sent them out just yet.
If phase one of his plan is to conquer his own home universe's Equestria then I don't see him really failing because of the other LaHoV humans since they tend to stay in their home dimensions unless called. If phase two is to conquer multiple dimensions then he might be screwed since he might gain more notice then just the other LaHoV humans, there are also the other gods that might decide to enter in as well and there would be no way he is prepared enough for a fight between gods and a possible joint operation of several LoHoV humans.
Otherwise seems like solid preparations for taking on his Equestria.
Scottish Rahkshi
4623063 exactly, he has plans WITHIN plans no one can beat that
4625558 scottish rahkshi is best rahkshi
Somehow I doubt that even Teridax could beat pyramid head.
4624572 Are you going off of some kind of pre-existing spread sheet or are you coming up with this on your own? If so; kudos.
4625770 yep, this is me doing whatever I feel like based on What the character did in the chapter. Loosely inspired by the stat increases at the end of FoE chapters. also, the perk names and flavor text are references to books, songs, or poems.
:3
Wait a sec... What about that one serving Khorne? True, the thing hasn't been updated in a while, but still.
4623809 he'll kill them in the sequel. Prepare for mass down votes.
4625332 I agree with you, even if they're villains... they're not going to like getting their worlds fucked with.
I wonder where teridax would place the Lutece twins on his list. Now to fight against more writers block
What fic has a Pyramid Head in it? Could I possibly get a link?
4663933 http://www.fimfiction.net/story/169517/a-thousand-tortured-souls-scream-my-name
I absolutely love how you named the Rahkshi after their abilities, such as Tavish for fragmentation (TF2 ), Sek for disintegration (Daleks ), and Skrillex being sonic (Skrillex already does sound like a Bionicle name now that I think about it. )
