Meanwhile, in a world that's recently had it's resident purple-armored villain and his secretary vacated from the universe, a former princess sits far down in an underground chamber. She's built like a tank, and easily towers over her guards when she stands up. Her once smooth and lustrous green hair is now matted, and the fire in her eyes has died down a bit - but she hasn't lost the bright spark of passion, rage, and determination in them at all.

She's kept in golden handcuffs and chains, but they're more of a formality than anything else - even though the handcuffs are specifically made to withstand an ogre's naturally high body temperature, she can still break through them pretty quickly. She just chooses not to. Why? Because she knows her brother will have to prove his strength to the populace at some point. The ogres appreciate strength more than anything else. And who better to challenge then herself?

So Tephra sits and waits...and then a purple tablet falls into her cell. At first she doesn't think much of it until she realizes that, while there are some purple rocks in Sukochi, none have a high enough melting point to withstand the heat this slab definitely had to go through.

Tephra looks at the tablet with interest.

And then Dimentio perks up. "Ah! Another potential member...I think. Can't recognize her from my research but she looks rather intimidating. I'll go talk to her, and Waspinator...you can just wait for a bit. I'm going to do the talking here."

And then the tablet starts speaking in her mind. "Hello, madam!"

Tephra immediately looks around to see if this is someone trying to trick her. Seeing no guard currently on duty - lazy, loitering cheapskates; as soon as she gets back in power, her guards are in for a special ride due to their incompetence - she looks at the tablet with a glare. "I am - was - a princess, and you will address me as such."

"...this is going to be a tough one..." Dimentio mutters before returning his attention to Tephra. "So, hello, princess, from an entirely different universe! I am Dimentio, master of-"

"I don't care." Tephra growls. "Just get to the point, odd stone."

"Rude." Dimentio states. "Anyway, I feel like proposing an offer of camaraderie to you! You do me some small favors, and I'll...well, you'll have to figure that part out yourself; I don't exactly know you, so I'm a bit lost, but we do have an army so we could probably-"

"You have an army?" Tephra looks at the tablet. "...How large?"

"Well, only somewhere in the thousands, but it consists entirely of powerful beasts with some special fighters-"

"If your army can retake my country, I will join you." Tephra states.

"...Oh." Dimentio pauses. "Well, alright then! That should be doable...now, just stay here, and in a few moments I'll have-"

Tephra breaks out of her chains and handcuffs.

"Or not. You can break out yourself..." Dimentio mutters as Tephra picks up the plate. "Now then, just scrape this plate against a wall or sonething of similar hardness and after enough scapes you should open a rift."

Nodding, Tephra gets a scraping, and soon enough, a rift opens up to Dimentio's army.

Tephra stomps her way through, her body heat likely acting like repellant for the Buzzwole, and she comes to a stop in front of Waspinator and the Hokuto Crows. She examines each of them with scrutiny.

"The machine is fine, but they-" Tephra gestures to the Hokuto Crows. "-are lacking."

Not helping the Hokuto Crows' case at all is Kiba, who is simply gawking at Tephra's tall, intimidating figure and muttering "tall" on repeat.

Valeena looks at Karkat. She never antagonized that particular troll personally, but last she checked, he was one of the heroes.

Perfect.

Valeena gets up, casually walking torwards Karkat. As she walks, she wonders if the heroes perfer a more grand execution or a swift and quiet one. Hopefully the latter.

Well, either way, she's about to find out.

She taps Karkat on the shoulder, fully prepared to surrender herself.
