{{work}}
''The Emperor and the Marty Stu'' is an [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]] fan fiction written by [[Arcadiarika]]. Basically, it's a crossover with ''[[Troper Works/The Arcadian Legends|The Arcadian Legends]]'' and ''[[Twilight]]'', specifically two characters.

Oh, and it is the first story in the [[Crack Fic|cracky]] ''The Multiverse (Mainly The Arcadian Legends) vs. Twilight'' Saga.

After receiving a note, the Arcadians decide to have Emperor Damien Kurogane battle a mysterious challenger. This challenger is actually [[Marty Stu|Edward Cullen]], and he makes a deal: if he manages to [[You Kill It, You Bought It|kill Damien]], he would transform the other Arcadians into [[Our Vampires Are Different|his own vampires]]. Damien tries to use his [[Playing With Fire|fire-type moves]] against Edward, but he faces an obstacle when the "vampire" deflects his attacks. Now the young Emperor must figure out a way to defeat the vampire before he ends up dead...

This story is divided into five parts, [http://arcadiarika.deviantart.com/art/TEatMS-Act-One-147326175 which] [http://arcadiarika.deviantart.com/art/TEatMS-Act-Two-147328600 can] [http://arcadiarika.deviantart.com/art/TEatMS-Act-Three-147330664 be] [http://arcadiarika.deviantart.com/art/TEatMS-Act-Four-147333048 read] [http://arcadiarika.deviantart.com/art/TEatMS-Act-Five-147336289 here.] An extended ending can be found [http://arcadiarika.deviantart.com/art/TEatMS-The-Special-Act-147762481 here.]

Obtained a sequel, ''[[Troper Works/The Professor Vs The Werewolf|The Professor vs. the Werewolf]].''
----
=== This [[Troper Works|Troper Work]] contains examples of: ===

* [[A Wizard Did It]]: The reason why Edward is so nigh-invincible in his defenses is because, well, he's a Marty Stu created by [[Stephenie Meyer|a woman who falls in love with him in her dreams]]. Same thing for Bella, only she is pretty much Stephenie's Wish Fulfillment form.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: {{spoiler|Both Damien and Catherine ended up obtaining one; the former after swallowing Edward alive, the latter after taking Bella's attack in Hikaria's place.}}
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Used as an attack.
* [[Character Derailment]]: Let's put it this way: Edward's personality differs vastly from that from [[Twilight|his own series]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but {{spoiler|when Damien and Catherine eat Edward and Bella, respectively, alive. Even though the two Arcadians obtain [[Balloon Belly|balloon bellies]] and end up sick.}}
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Somewhat [[Subverted Trope|subverted]]: the author knows how to kill a Twilight vampire, but it's a What If? sort of thing. What would happen if fire-type moves don't kill Edward?
** Also, I mistook Edward's hearing of thoughts as mind-reading. Then again, some people confuse one as the other, so...
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Well, more like a Fate Just As Bad As Death, but still...
** [[Fan Disservice]]/[[Fetish Retardant]]: The scenes at the end [[Squick|may not appeal to everyone.]]
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|Idiosyncratic Part Naming]]: all five parts are called "Acts," with the extended ending being the "Special Act." Why? They reference the events of a play (never mind that it's not a [[Script Fic|script fic]]...)
* [[Just Eat Him]]: {{spoiler|This is pretty much Edward's fate: he is eaten by Damien, and the stomach acid will kill him. Bella, too, even though she did it to herself.}}
* [[Kill It With Fire]]: [[Subverted Trope|subverted]]: not even Damien's Ultimate Inferno kills Edward.
* [[Lampshade Hanging/Shown Their Work|Shown Their Work]]: The battlers' [[Marty Stu|Stu-nesses]] are referenced, and several ideas/quotes from [[Twilight|one of the two source materials]] are used.
* [[Marty Stu]]: Guess who? However, {{spoiler|he is trapped/dead in the end.}} Also [[Lampshade Hanging|hung a lampshade]] several times throughout the fanfic.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Edward's reaction when he realizes that Damien is about to perform {{spoiler|[[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|his vore-related]] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Forbidden Technique.]]}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Hoo boy...
** As mentioned above, ''[[Twilight]]'' is referenced.
** Edward and Bella plan to use their vampires in order to [[Take Over the World|take over the canonical worlds, all from different series]]. Damien and Catherine respond, [[Memetic Mutation|"Of]] [[Street Fighter (Film)|course!"]]
** Damien's final attack is called...{{spoiler|[[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|the]] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Forbidden]] [[TV Tropes|Technique]].}}
** The effect that happens when Damien is temporarily blinded by the [[Bishie Sparkle|sparkles]] is called [[Pokémon|The Flash Effect.]]
*** Also, at the end of Act One, "the proverbial stage was set, and the curtain was about to rise." Although paraphrased, it is from Pokemon Battle Revolution when the announcer speaks.
* [[Take That]]: To ''[[Twilight]]'', naturally.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: More like taking the attack, but {{spoiler|Catherine protected Hikaria from Bella's attack, making the Knight's belly swell due to Bella's presence.}}
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Bella, of course. See What an Idiot below.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: {{spoiler|Yes, Bella, letting yourself be eaten by an Arcadian so that Edward, who was already eaten by Damien, would rescue you is such [[Sarcasm Mode|an excellent idea]]...not!}}
* [[Writer On Board]]: In Act Five, the author can't shut up about how -ivores work in the circle of life. It doesn't help that she took Introductory to Biology...
