Plot
Judgment Emporer Shiroan, ruler of the Sacred Dieties watches over all the worlds in the universe and sees two that he knows to be unfit, two that had successfully stopped him before. He sees these two as the two most despicable in the universe. And because of it he looks upon them with sheer loathing. He realizes one thing: he must destroy them both and make his own kingdom from the rubble.

The two worlds he hates so much are Worlds N and G, the worlds of Nintendo and Gamecom. He, being from World G wishes to destroy his own and another. In order for him to destroy World N, he must gain an ally from the inside; someone very very powerful who loathes all that lives and breathes it his own world.

The first being that comes to his mind is Giygas.

Shiroan sets off to Mount Itoi to track Giygas to his resting place. The Emporer telepathically encourages the long-lost villain to join him in the destruction of the two worlds, and Giygas takes him up on his offer without hesitation. Shiroan decides that it would be best to go and recruit allies from their respective worlds to join their cause.

Shiroan finds Fehc (Heddo's evil twin), Imogen (Golem of Hatred and enemy of Azarel), Crazy Skull (a former terrorist group member and villainous rival of the Warmonger), Satan (the devil himself who tried to take over the universe and destroy the gods), Dark Fireboy (evil doppelganger of the heroic Fireboy), Lord Arachnatis (dictator of the planet of the Zagodah and fierce arch-rival of Snickard), and Gurel (beholder of the Sin's Effect and one who attempted to destroy all that was good).

Giygas manages to find King K. Rool (lazy yet powerful pirate and leader of the Kremlings), Vaati (evil sorceror, villain of Link, and rival of Ganondorf), Dark Samus (Samus's dark self and legitimate foe), Dark Matter (an evil, shadowy cloud and Dream Land's most formidable villain), Andross (evil scientist who managed to destroy James McCloud, Fox's father), Deoxys (a DNA Pokemon corrupted by Giygas), and Black Shadow (Captain Falcon's greatest arch-rival).

Not wishing to simply invade the two worlds and destroy them themselves, they thought it would be best to take both of the Worlds' heroes out of the picture. Shiroan used a great amount of his power to send all of the worlds into a massive vortex where they came out into one gigantic world. Throughout the confusion, the two slipped a rumor among everyone living there stating that the other side was out to destroy them and that they would stop at nothing to make sure that they met their demise. Thus setting the course for the events of Nintendo and Gamecom: Duel of Destiny.
