Dialogue[]
Caption: As the battle waged on, Isophyne grew bored of the destruction and flew deeper into New Manhattan with ISO sprouting in her wake.
Caption: The Summoner makes their way to the nearest subway entrance and quickly catches up to Ægon and Maestro in mid-argument.
Ægon: We need to know what you know. No more secrets or games.
Maestro: Mind your tone. Even if I seem charitable, you still address a king. Maestro: Since I was gloriously reborn by the tangled roots of the world tree, I have sensed something else here gathering strength and influence. Ægon: Why not merely snap your fingers and undo realities as you did on Battleworld? You seemed to have the power of a god there.
Mister Fantastic: It's because when he came back he simply wasn't the infinitely powerful monster he once was, isn't that right Maestro? Caption: Reed Richards stretches from the shadows and joins the conversation.
Maestro: It took a multiverse worth of traitors to put me in the ground, it is understandable that clawing back out would drain some energy. Mister Fantastic: Well it's quite the day for new beginnings and renewed power. Summoner, Ægon, I think I may have something that can give us an edge.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Caption: Reed presents a small vial filled with swirling contents to Ægon.
Mister Fantastic: Despite the fact that we have long battled ISO-sickness, our foe brings a new radiation that seems to bypass our constructed immunities. Mister Fantastic: I managed to isolate myself when the worst of this hit and got my nano-tech inoculation prepared. It works wonders, as you can see. Maestro: Yes, yes, we are all very impressed that you've managed to avoid rubber-banding us to death. This cures only symptoms but not the source. Mister Fantastic: In that matter we find ourselves in agreement. I managed to use it to cure my family… But not before they battled with you. Apologies for that. Mister Fantastic: However this curative requires individual attention, we have a Battlerealm wide problem and that'll take time. Which leaves one choice. Maestro: Destroy the source of the infection. Isophyne must be wiped from this realm. It is as simple as that. Ægon: While they are unquestionably dangerous they also claim to be a protector. Perhaps there is a path for reason and peace. Maestro: You can debate science and politics, but my plot is already in motion and shall guarantee safety… For those who survive it of course.

Mister Fantastic: I would assume this "plot" of yours has something to do with the increased grouping of villains and their search for artifacts? Maestro: Taking pieces off the board before the game begins, ensuring those who can do what must be done are aligned to my vision, yes. Ægon: What vision is that exactly? If gathering power was so important why not unite all of the Contest behind your cause. Maestro: A few reasons… Firstly, some of you killed me in the past. That rather intensely dampers my enthusiasm toward teamwork. Maestro: Secondly there is too much false nobility, hollow sentiment, and short-sighted hope amongst the hero ilk. "Villains" know what must be done. Mister Fantastic: Enlighten us heroes then. What is it that we lack the drive to accomplish? Maestro: Sacrifice. Cold calculating sacrifice. Not just leaping in front of danger, but throwing others in its path. This creature is merely the beginning. Mister Fantastic: You're still playing your cards damn close to your chest, Maestro. You know a lot more than you're sharing here. Maestro: I have always known more than you, Richards. I will play those "cards" when the time is right. Until then the enemy of your enemy is a friend.
- Transmission #3
Mister Fantastic: Where is your line? You don't just propose survival of the fittest. It would be survival of the merciless. Maestro: Destroy the threat and then perhaps we can spend our peaceful hours speaking of morals and philosophy. Ægon: I am seeing multiple threats, you amongst them. Ready yourself, Summoner. Maestro: That Summoner of yours is also a thorn in my paw that I have longed to remove. Perhaps this is the opportunity. Mister Fantastic: Even someone as mad for power as you would not take away the Battlerealm's greatest champion. Maestro: Timing is everything, Richards. The destruction of the Summoner would be a rallying cry to have others join me. Maestro: When the mighty fall it shakes the pillars of belief. The weak will seek new strength to hold up the skies. So yes… The Summoner must fall. Mister Fantastic: You'll not be making any friends by attacking the Summoner. Maestro: Hah. I'll be praised for merely attempting their destruction and will gain worshippers if I complete the task.
