“What the heck are you doing? I ain’t a toy, you know!” The voice complained, but still, it felt good of what Cuki was doing to him. “I doubt Doctor Doom will be tardy since this big castle is right there. I might have to agree with Gotenks regarding for compensation.”
Spina arrived at the portal, just in time to hear Maggie’s comments. “I been trying to ignore this dumb doll for a while but you’re really are annoying? Did you just forget that Bernkastel easily beat you quite easily yesterday?” Spina stared down at the doll. “I was beginning to think I need another punching bag.”
Demi-Fiend looked around, noticing that not all members of the group have arrived yet. “Hey, aren’t we missing a few people?”
Spina raises a brow. “Aside from the lovebirds, I think everyone is present.”
“Nope, we’re still missing a few. What is his name again…? Snow and one of his children are missing.” Demi-Fiend declared. “Though, I could use some coffee, Cross..."
“They’ll catch up soon enough; let’s just hope Doom isn’t the kind of person that excuses tardiness.” Spina remembered Snow had three children, but since he never interact with them that much, he just forgot about their existence due too many persons he had to remember to begin with. Spina eyed Demi-Fiend after hearing the name, "Cross", coming out his mouth.
"Who's that?" Spina asked.
"Oh, you weren't here for that. That's apparently the Lich's name." Demi-Fiend. "One coffee please and add tons of sugar."

The Castle’s doors opened, showing Doctor Doom walking out of it and stopping on the edge of the steps. Doom looks down observing all the arriving parties, not moving an inch.
Spina sweated a bit. “Is this another one of Doom’s surprises?”
“It’s a real deal.” Demi-Fiend commented on.
“What?”
Demi-Fiend turns to Spina. He is the real deal; seems like he wanted to see the first trials personally; no robots, no tricks, no nothing from what I’m sensing at the moment.”
“Hmph…” Spina said. “His ego might’ve bigger than Bernkastel…”
