Grodus Rising
From Yb Timeline
“For even in the ashes of defeat, we have been able to achieve victory. Not only is the seventh emerald now in our grasp, but the ultimate weapon of the Metal Army is now in our use. We have had much sacrifice, and yet we are stronger for it. Let it be known, from this day forth, that the Secret Society of the X-Nauts has achieved triumph over the most powerful forces in the universe. Let it be known, that Lord Grodus, has risen once again!”
-Grodus, 7-5: Only in Death
Grodus Rising was a single story created by Subsourian used to parallel the X-Naut's quest for the chaos emeralds in Oddtastic Adventure. It is the story of the seventh, lost emerald, and Grodus's attempts to claim it and the ultimate power that comes from all seven. However, in the end, Grodus found another type of power, one which made him one of the most powerful rulers in the universe. Many characters were introduced or reintroduced in this story, and many unrelated plotlines were crossed, impacting their future.

Story
Background/Prolouge: Midst the Chaos
The story begins three months after The Blackest Days, where Lord Crump's inept leadership ended up crushing the X-Naut Armada on Chronis. Grodus has turned to a new master plan; he would distract the enemies of the X-Nauts with a petty territorial squable, while he would go after the Chaos Emerals, seven gems used to achive ultimate power, which had been scattered in their last attempt to steal them in X-Chaos. Grodus had each one of these emeralds tracked, and was preparing to distract the SWDF, when something went wrong.
The Red Emerald, held in a Galactic Federation research facility, was raided by Ultra Stuffwell and his Steel Legion, who took the emerald and destroyed the facility. Grodus caught wind, but could not track the emerald's signature. Grodus sent his newly promoted second in command and close friend, Admiral Stalvick, to Star World's Fahr Outpost in hopes of finding information on the emerald's whereabouts.
