S2 Chapter 4: New Management

Zorbak turned off the hologram and turned around. He was at the door leading into the Galactic Conglomerate HQ. Inside were the leaders of all the other corporations like EbilCorp. Each one spanned its respective universe. He prepared himself for the meeting and stepped inside.

As he entered he met face to face with the yellow moglin, his twin brother. “Zorbak, how goes things at EbilCorp?” he teased.

“Kabroz...you know everything is fine. Then again, you may have been too lazy to read my reports.”

“I think I run my company better than you run yours.” he retaliated.

“Really? Tell me how are things are at Necro Industries?” Zorbak said smiling.

“Actually quite well...until you decided to be an idiot and ruin everyone's businesses!” he yelled.

“Excuse me?” Zorbak asked confused.

Another moglin approached. This was Twig an orange moglin. “Yes, idiot. I can’t believe you made such a stupid decision...now it is ruined for everyone!”

“What did I do?” Zorbak said unsure.

In the back of the room a tall green moglin sat at the head of the table in front of the group. He banged his gavel on the table and all the moglins sat down around the table. The other moglins were was staring at Zorbak who was sitting opposite the leader of the Galactic Conglomerate.

“Zorbak, we have called this meeting to address you and your decision five years ago. You have caused a ripple effect which has placed us all in danger.” he said in a very serious and disappointed tone.

“I-” Zorbak began.

“Do NOT interrupt me.” the leader yelled. “Five years ago the Shadowscythe turned on EbilCorp and upon doing so...you launched a full scale war against them. After this war the Shadowscythe were driven from your world. As word spread through Shadowscythe society their armies in our respective worlds became cautious and now under the decision of their Master they have declared inter-dimensional war upon the Galactic Conglomerate.”

“Oh.” he said absorbing this. “What are we going to do?”

The leader began to laugh. “There is no we anymore. We have all unanimously decided to vote you out of the Galactic Conglomerate. EbilCorp will be placed in more capable hands.”

“What...you can’t do this!” he yelled in shock.

“We can and we already have. Kabroz will now be in charge of both EbilCorp and Necro Industries. You have been completely removed from all Galactic Conglomerate affairs and your personal bank account and savings have been placed back into the Galactic Conglomerate banks."

Zorbak’s eye twitched. “You...you can’t be serious!”

“What part of inter-dimensional war with the Shadowscythe did you not understand?”

“This is insanity! Kabroz can’t run two corporations in two different worlds.”

“Actually, I can. Thanks to the hologram technology EbilCorp invented which you just used a few seconds ago. I can easily communicate with both worlds.” he said smiling.

Zorbak jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room. Returning to his ship he left immediately and headed for Station 13 hoping to get there before Kabroz could. If there was one thing he absolutely needed...it was his box.


“Maria-13, I need you to do something very important for me.” Mr. Z spoke frantically through the official EbilCorp communications channel.

“Of course, what is it?” she said responding to his desperate tone.

“Go into my private study and inside a drawer in my desk is a box. Find it and send it to Loreon. Any where on Loreon, even into the sea."

As she walked to the office she continued to speak with him. “What is wrong?”

“They are replacing me. Kabroz is going to be in charge now, and they have taken all of my money.”

“What did you do?” she asked as she arrived in the study and took the box.

“The war I started against the Shadowscythe...well now all companies affiliated with EbilCorp are under attack by them. An inter-dimensional war.”

“That is hardly your fault.” she said carrying out his instructions.

“That is what I thought. But unfortunately I didn’t get much of a say.”

“One last thing....”

“Yes?”

“Contact Queenadent Odessa and tell her I’ll be needing a place to stay.”


A few hours later Mr. Z arrived at the Queenadent’s palace. “And that is why I am here.” he said in shame.

“That is quite a tragic story. However you were noble in helping us during the war, so we will be glad to help you.” Odessa said to him, feeling sorry. “Tell me does Kabroz know about the Galactic Alliance?”

“No, none of them do.”

“Good.” she said smiling. “I will remove EbilCorp from the Alliance. By doing this Kabroz will not have any say in our governments and he will not be able to get to you and will have limited power."

Odessa showed Zorbak to his quarters and a servant delivered the box he had asked for. “If you need anything else feel free to ask us.” she said still a bit uncomfortable. Overall this was working in favor of Loreon though which made her happy, however she was helping Mr. Z. Years ago they had worked closely with the Shadowscythe and caused much pain and strife. It even led to the death of her son, Sys-Zero.

Once Odessa was gone Zorbak took the box and spoke into it. “What do I do now?” he asked.

Echoes from the box responded, “Warlic and Maria have opened the gate. The Soul Eaters have been unleashed."

“Where are they exactly?”

“Inside the Draconic Archives. Warlic is exploring things he does not understand and Maria is broken. She has returned to the state you cleansed her from.”

“What? That is impossible!” he said. Maria-5 had a complete mind wipe. There was no way she would be able to remember anything.

“It is quite possible. The mind wiping process was sabotaged by the Nightmares. It was not a clean wipe...”

“Tell me what will happen. Based upon all my knowledge, where is the world headed?”

“This world and many others are in danger. The Soul Eaters, ancient enemies of the dragons, will destroy the worlds.”

"How can I stop this?" he asked.

"You cannot. The Dragonguard can. They will soon claim the EbilCorp Gundams and use them to save the world."

Next Time in Gundam: Shadow...Duel! Starbuck and Slayer fight. During this encounter Mika investigates EbilCorp and makes an interesting discovery.
