After meeting up with Chambers Tony finally had all the info he needed to meet with the Queen of Hallowton but of course, nothing ever goes the way you have planned and the moment he approached the gates of the castle he got a nice pointy spear in the face by one of the guards there for his trouble forcing him to take a step back.
"Whoa! Okay..."
"Halt!"
"All right. That's a very nice spear you have there. Very pointy."
"Who goes there?"
"Tony Stark of Stark Enterprises. You never heard of me, different universes and everything. Listen. I'm here to see the Queen."
"What's that there?" asked the guard motioning towards JARVIS.
"This? This is JARVIS. JARVIS, say hello to the nice man with the pointy spear."
"I don't think this is helping, Master Stark."
"Look, you can inspect me all you want. Just be careful what buttons you push on JARVIS here and you should be fine. I'm no harm to you, your Queen or castle. I just need to talk to either her or anyone in charge here because I am a very, very long ways away from home and I would like to get back to there as soon as possible. Thanks."

“Can I help you?”
The Hybrid Sazan approached the gate and looked over Tony Stark and the pod by his side that moved alongside him. As soon as Sazan came on to the scene the guards lowered their spears and bowed their heads at the right hand woman of Queen Lori before standing to either side of her and acting as backup, more as a formality than any belief that the Hybrid needed their assistance if Stark decided to get violent. |

Tony looked over to the woman who just walked up and noticed how the guards flocked to her. Marking her as someone of importance within the castle walls. Good. He was finally getting somewhere.
"Yes, actually. I need to see the Queen, it's a very urgent matter."

“A lot of people need to see the Queen. What makes you so special?” |

Tony couldn't help but chuckle at that question. In his world he was a very important man, Billionaire Playboy Tony Stark AKA Iron Man. But here? That didn't mean squat to people since he technically didn't exist here and wasn't meant to exist in this reality. Otherwise they'd know his name. They'd definitely know his name.
"You see, thanks to the antics of one General Vulture I am being singled out because of the technology at my disposal. Now naturally the people here don't believe a single word that come out of my mouth, but the Queen on the other hand could do something. So if I may be so honored as to have a word with her Royal Highness so I can straighten this mess out, that'd be appreciated since I have a feeling I'm going to be staying a while."

“Open the gates,” said Sazan to the guards.
The guards left Sazan's side and opened the gates to the castle as the Hybrid stepped out in front of Stark.
“Follow me.”
Sazan led Tony through the main gates of the castle, pass the Entrance Hall, up the stairs and finally to the throne room where the Queen was located.
“My Queen, a Mister Tony Stark is here to see you.” |

Lori looked up in her seat, eyes trailing across Sazan and Stark both as she leaned back into her throne. Her sights now on the pod by Tony's side that looked like something from either Isafaro or Kari. But with the worlds merging as they were this man could be from virtually anywhere.
"State your business here." |

At last he was finally brought to the person he wanted to meet. It certainly wasn't what he was expecting however. Since the villagers never specified the Queen's age he naturally assumed she was a much older woman. But here she was, just a teenager and she had an entire kingdom at her beck and call. Must have been some teen, or tragedy forced her ascent to the throne much too soon.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness. I don't want to keep you, but I'm in a bit of a bind. I was brought here against my will by a gateway that opened up in my home and now your people don't want anything to do with me because of my equipment here. It would mean a lot to me if I could get assistance on how to get back to my home, and if you could issue an announcement correcting any and all misunderstandings that I am a part of this "Vulture" menace that attacked your home."

“I'm afraid sending you home will prove difficult, Mr. Stark. Right now the only gateway between worlds we have is the Downward Spiral which we still know very little about. Not to mention it's also in Kari territory and we have yet to establish a relationship with them.” |

Cloud reached the gates just as it closed and stopped in front of the guards, with his buster sword's weight making Cloud remember that it was there. He didnt even look at the guards but simply said, "Let me pass." The guards couldnt help but snicker and chuckle at this request. If they only knew... it was a command, not a request. Cloud showed no emotion and drew his sword and swiftly cut their spears' spear heads off before casually putting the sword back on his back.
The Guards mouths swung open, but they still refused Cloud's entrance. "Hmph... No harm will come to the Queen...", Cloud stated as he traveled to the other side of the gate via Corridor of Darkness. Theydid not know he was inside, this was good. His instinct lead him to the Queen... but it seemed others were here to see the queen as well.

Cloud would not get far within the castle before being met with a much firmer line of resistance.
As he marched down a hallway in the direction of the throne room, all light suddenly dimmed. Both ends of the otherwise deserted hallway were shrouded in impenetrable darkness, the candelabras that lit the way reduced to feeble slivers of light. All sound was unnaturally silenced at once.
For a short time, Cloud was alone.
Then, through the gloom ahead of him, a figure emerged. It stood tall, a silhouette that somehow seemed darker than the pitch-black backdrop, before it loomed out of the shadow. The mechanical clicks of two gun hammers cocking echoed down the hall along with his slow footfalls, and with his cerulean eyes narrowed, Sparda barred the way.
"Her Majesty thinks quite poorly of intruders," he mused, a polite threat to accompany the raising of Luce and Ombra to take aim at the blond swordsman. "So far, in my experience, they've all been swiftly killed."

"I didn't come here to fight... you have nothing to fear from me... there is only person who can help me and that is the Queen... " , Cloud said rather stoically. It was true of course, and yet... everyone misunderstood him. If it came down to a fight he would. If he would loose he would escape to return another day.
"let me pass..." Cloud added sternly and emotionless. The Buster Sword itched on his back but he made no movement to wield it.. He instead kept walking forward a couple of steps. The Queen was near and he knew... but which room? It will take only seconds to find this out if he used the Corridors of Darkness.

The intruder's demand drew a dark scowl to Sparda's face, and around him, the shadows stirred subtly. Before the blond had taken his third step, the darkness around him exploded to life, six tendrils of living shadow rushing forward to restrain him. One would wrap firmly around each ankle and wrist, and two around his chest and the blade of that massive sword to bind it in place.
"You're in no position to make demands of me," Sparda growled in response, his arms perfectly still and trigger fingers ready. "As I hope you can imagine, the Queen is a very busy person. We're at war on potentially three fronts, if you weren't aware. So if you need her attention so direly, petition for an appointment like every reasonable person and wait to be seen. If it had been Arix to find you breaking in and not me, trust me, you'd already be dead."
He remained where he was, confident he had this under control. "I'll extend this offer just once. Leave peacefully and petition Her Majesty through the proper channels, or I'll have to throw you out in whatever condition you end up in after trying to fight through me. Your choice."

The darkness reacted badly with his skin, well not skin... being. For a moment his body perfectly resembled that of Sephiroth's, complete with the long silver hair and green reptilian eyes. The image didn't last long however but just long enough for Cloud to notice and break his stoic composure slightly as he examined himself with a shocked expression.
With gritted teeth he called out to the man who held him here. "My time is limited... even more so for what you are doing. Please... let me pass....". His eyes changed to green for only a moments more as the dark tendrils literally seeped into his skin.... he was falling to darkness.... ever deeper into this nightmare...

Sparda was... confused, he supposed was the word, at what was happening. For a split-second, the intruder took the form of an entirely different person, a mirage flickering over his form of a silver-haired male with green, slit-pupilled eyes, before he shifted back. But the tendrils of shadow that had gripped him were... fusing with him. Sparda had no idea why, but it couldn't be anything good.
He heard the young man out for a short time, still doubting. He wasn't about to take an intruder before Lori to be heard as if nothing had happened. Snorting, he willed the tendrils away and they released him, letting him tumble to the floor as they retreated into the natural shadow.
"Why should I?" the devil asked, still holding the interloper at gunpoint. "What's so damned important? Careful now; the likelihood of you being kicked out missing several bullet-sized chunks of flesh depends on your answer."
