Focusing Stone
"It's mine! MINE! I WILL CONTROL THEM ALL!!!" ― Richtofen, after obtaining the stone
An item from Call of Duty: Zombies.
Description[edit | edit source]
A mysterious giant meteorite that contains massive amounts of the magical Element 115, a material that disrupts reality. It was shrunk in size for convenience.
History[edit | edit source]
It was originally located inside a timeloop in the Shangri-La pyramid.
TFR/Season 2[edit | edit source]
Edward Richtofen's Kronorium would foretell a vision of a strange man holding the stone
TFR/Season 3[edit | edit source]
Chris-Chan would somehow solve the puzzle reducing it to rock size and obtain it, seeking to use it for his own benefits. During the Dimensional Merge, he would try to use it to influence the world, although the effect of this is unknown.
Unbeknownst to him, he would need another piece of the puzzle, the Vril Device, to make it work, and he instead ended up accidental using the power of the stone to merge himself with his idealized self, becoming an abomination, and bringing about instability in the time axis of reality within the Dimensional Merge.
Sometime later, Ushiromiya Battler would defeat him and try to use the stone to escape the twisted dimensions, but possibly due to his denial of magic, a malfunction of the stone sent him and 17 wrestlers through the Dimensional Merge to another world's Rokkenjima, leaving them stranded. Within the normal world, the error of the stone also caused Battler to leave a hole behind that would be filled by a shadow: Black Battler. With it's purpose accomplished, Richtofen would steal the stone to "continue his mission to cross the dimensions and save all the multiverse from destruction", quickly extracting himself from this current world.
HUNK's mercenary squad, who were still within the Dimensional Merge, would through unknown means hunt down Edward Richtofen and take the stone per their client's request. While searching for a way out, they would arrive to the Rokkenjima where Battler and the others were trapped, and although Battler's attempt to obtain the stone by force was unsuccessful, HUNK's client requested the stone be left in their care. Soon enough, Battler employed the stone and allowed all 18 wrestlers in the island to return to where they belonged, and denied his darker self from existence.
With that out of the way, he confronted the person he learned had been raising hell in hopes of getting rid of Battler: Agent 47. In their fourth and final match, Battler tasted defeat.
TFR/Season 4[edit | edit source]
Shortly afterwards, Battler suddenly developed amnesia, and then without reason fell into a coma... and strangely even his appearance changed.
This was because it was all caused by HUNK's client and employer: Hideo Kojima. As part of his plan, while the stone was in HUNK's possession, he had it secretly modified to activate a hidden effect next time Battler lost a match. When such a thing happened, it transported Battler to an empty space that would be the basis for the creation of a parallel world, Kojima's World, and Battler would serve as the "processor" through which Kojima would develop this replica world. While in the normal world this might have been so quick it was imperceptible to the human eye, it's impossible to know the amount of time Battler had to endure an endless torment completely alone. Although Kojima had linked the Script of the Mad Writer to the core of the new world and had complete control over it, Sminem entered this world and, only uttering that he already knew this would happen, and after not even looking at Battler like one would a person, picked the stone and left. Such a devastating event was the final nail that completely shattered Battler's enduring psyche, forcing his unconscious to create a new personality to escape the pain.
TFR/Season 5[edit | edit source]
Sminem brought the stone to one of his company's, Sminem Corporation, secret facilities, where they begun the process of modifying it for its next purpose. Unbeknownst to him, one of their scientists, Walter Bennet, was a traitor part of a group that opposed Sminem and mysterious circle, and in secret made the stone develop a parasite that made it behave in strange and unpredictable ways, making the workforce scared to work on it and slowing their progress. During the course of another subversive action, Walter used the reputation around the stone and low morale of the employees, both which he had been cultivating for a while, to make the entirety of the security force quit within just a few days. Coincidentally at this point, Edward Richtofen found his way into the laboratory and tried to recover the stone, but the parasite latched into him and used his body and the stone's power to transmogrify itself into "The God Emperor", and left.
Emperor wrestled casually during Kojima's tenure with nobody being none-the-wiser, except Sminem himself who eventually took notice. Soon after Kojima's fall, he was one of the wrestlers selected to participate in the Death Game hosted by BANS. Working through the puppet of Mr. X, Sminem tried to keep God-Emperor safe until being able to covertly recover the stone and leave the Death Game, but Miles Edgeworth's deductions forced him to reveal his hand (much to La Parka personal's disdain for the item), biting the parasite to remove the stone and returning Richtofen's body to normal, and then using it to sever the connection between the worlds to attempt to isolate the death game and its consequences. However, this doesn't work out as planned since BANS' authority as the King of Hell proves stronger, and he destroys Mr. X. The stone (perhaps by act of the parasite) mysteriously ended in Saihara Shuichi's possession, and during the final stage of the Death Game, reacted to Saihara's fervent wish to prove Sminem's innocence which showed everyone present a vision of a different timeline, in which Sminem seemingly sacrificed himself to destroy Kojima.
At the conclusion of the Death Game, when the universe was in critical condition in its death throes, not one of the participants made it out alive, including the one with the stone...
TFR/Season 6[edit | edit source]
While the souls (and possibly bodies) of those who perished in Death Game where kept by BANS and his new faction (which would in the future become the BANS Army), the location of the stone at this point is unknown.
At some point between the conclusion of the Death Game and the early years following RUMBLE-17, the Order of the Three Kings came to be in possession of the stone (if they recovered it themselves somehow or stole it from the BANS Army, is unknown). The stone was a key item in their plan and overall goal of creating their blessed world, and was extensively modified and infused with dimes until it was evolved into the final form that was capable of doing such a thing: the Cosmic Egg. In this form, it was a gigantic, flesh-like structure that had grown secretly within the new Coolsville Arena, and it's heart held the power of birthing a new world.
Upon gathering enough dimes energy, it activated itself, and in a flash of light, disappeared from this world, and created a new one.
