Opening File: Blue Falcon

Blue Falcon, a.k.a. Radley Crowne, began his career as a security guard along with his dog Reggie. After a dragon Grimm attacked and injured Reggie's organic body a scientist Crowne rebuilt his beloved pet as a cyborg dog. Radley Crowne quit his security job to become an art dealer but secretly became the masked vigilante and hero known as Blue Falcon. He trained in a variety of martial arts, amassing resources needed to better equip himself and his dog who became the dog wonder Dynomutt.

He once was a close comrade of Birdman and Sebben who believed in the best of the world but eventually the horrors/evil of the Grimm and the world wore him down, where he now has a cynical jaded view on the world. He doesn't believe criminals deserve any mercy, the Fallen and those that serve/work with them even less. He's willing to go to extreme methods to protect the world at any cost, if he has to sacrifice a hundred to save thousands he will. The same mindset goes for the war against the Grimm and Fallen.

"The entire City Hall is surrounded by police. I have also called for helicopters and we have tanks set up." Chief Fizz said to Sebben.

He was not lying as a dozen police officers wearing riot armor stood in formation outside in front of City Hall with tanks and artillery airships hovering above them. The Justice Friends along with Sebben, Briggs, Action Hank and the Legendary Warriors except for Kazemon stood there with the main leaders of the group having converged to make sure everything was in place for Crom's arrival.

"Okay, I already talked to the general. All the men and equipment is in their proper positions and ready for anything." Said Briggs.

"Alright, now all we have to wait for is for our friend to return." Said Sebben as everyone heard a caw as they looked up and saw a man with giant feathered wings on his back and a large blue eagle swooping down, landing in front of Sebben.

"Harvey Birdman." Callie Briggs said in recognition.

"I thought he quit the hero business to become a lawyer." Action Hank asked.

"Mayor Sebben asked him to do to a little recon on the way to his law firm." Briggs explained.

Agunimon leaned over to Kazemon. "Who quits being a hero to become a lawyer?"

Kazemon simply shrugged.

"Harvey, what's your report?" Fizz asked, walking forward as he readied his own rifle.

"Let me say that is was no overreaction to call in the army. The guy will be here any minute, and any cop that tries to stop him, he would just kill them with ease. I even saw him toss several professional Huntsmen aside like they were flies..." The former Birdman answered followed by pants.

"Why are you panting, dude?" Capital G asked.

"Because while I was flying over the guy from high in the air, he somehow knew I was a threat and he started throwing fire balls at me! I tried to dodge them as best as I could and flew back here to tell you!" Birdman yelled as he continued to pant.

"Hmm, alright. This guy is obviously very powerful and he knows his way around magic, like the Elementals, the Fallen and even Miss Spell. It sounds like he'll be tricky, but nobody is untouchable. Maybe some heavy artillery and well placed attacks can at least incapacitate him." Fizz said as he loaded his weapon.

"Well, we're about to see because he's here." Lowemon said and the main group started to get in position.

Everything remained dead silent as all the GrimmFall police got ready with the tanks, cannons, battle airships, and other military war machines. The street had been cleared except for two approaching figures. One was a man covered in blood red tattoos with a small white lantern around his neck walk forward, accompanied by a young purple haired woman. Everyone's eyes widened as they saw the god take several steps forward before stopping.

As he stopped he lifted a half-eaten apple back up to his face and took a bite out of it as he scanned the massive welcoming party that was standing in front of him.

"Is that really... the guy we've been preparing for?" Agunimon whispered.

"Don't underestimate your opponents, Agunimon. This defense line was set up for him for a reason." Lowemon said.

"Hmm... What is this little alignment of toy soldiers?" Crom asked looking at the defense force as he looked back at the woman. "Where are the real warriors of this world?"

"That's them, Lord Crom. That's the GrimmFall police and the group in front of them are Huntsmen, skilled warriors who protect the world." The woman, Molly said as Crom looked back at them silently and took a bite of his apple again.

"Well... if that's all they had, I might as well rule over those mortals again who could only throw sharp sticks to fight." Crom said taking another bite of his apple before throwing it aside and stepped forward. "Hello there, mortals. I am known as Crom Cruach, originally originated from the Old Country. Crom is the god of the Sun, Fertility, Wealth, and Nature. Crom knows of the suffering of this world by the creatures you call the Grimm. Crom can promise you order, as long as you treat me with the proper respect you mortals shall show a god.

You shall prey for me, and beg for Crom's help, and in return Crom shall keep your world in check and allow you to live."

As he spoke the police and the heroes all fell into defense positions.

"But... Crom doesn't just want your constant prayers, he wants your sacrifices. The sacrifice of a child from each city, town, or village is required... unless you want all your eatables to rot, the sun to burn everything down, or even make all your wealth useless you shall prey, sacrifice, and serve your new lord... Listen to me inhabitants of the world! I am your new god now! Kneel before me and Crom shall show compassion! As we shall eliminate all non-believers around this world!" Crom said as everyone stared at him, with Crom only standing several feet away from the main group.

"Now listen here, Mister! Whoever you are, whatever you done, you must surrender at once or you shall be given no mercy." Chief Fizz warned and Crom got an annoyed expression.

"'Whoever I am?!' Are you kiddi- Did you hear a THING Crom said?!" Crom asked annoyed.

"You heard him evil elder god of the old times! You shall NOT conquer this world as you did to the Old Country!"

Rolf landed in between in front of the police and heroes as Crom snapped his head to Rolf.

"Get back!" Major Glory called out; ready to move the instant Rolf was in trouble.

Rolf had a look of fear, stepping a foot back as Crom took a few steps closer and looked at him.

"Wait... are you from the Old Country as well?" Crom asked as Rolf and the rest of the group instantly had jolts of fear run through them with their mouths drying up. "Hmm... Because you have the same smell from the Old Country."

Crom held out his hand, as something started to grow out of the palm. The group watched in amazement as a fully developed ear of corn grew out of Crom's hand. The group continued to look as Crom pealed the leaves off the corn and took a bite out of it.

"So... you're not here from Sammael?" Briggss asked as Crom looked over at her.

"Who's Sammael?" Crom asked.

"So I guess that means you're not from the Injustice Friends either." Capital G said.

"Who are they?" Crom asked, turning to the Justice Friends as he took another bite out of his corn.

"Guys, this guy clearly isn't working with anyone we know. He's on his own." Lowemon stepping forward as Crom smiles at him.

"Well, seems like you have one smart mortal in your group." Crom said as he took another bite out of his corn.

"So what? Do you expect us to just give up and kneel before you just because you say we should?" Agunimon asked angered as he looked at Crom.

"No. Crom expects you to kneel because you should." Crom replied as Agunimon grew angrier.

"You know what-"

"Wait a second." Sebben stepped forward, calming the Warrior of Flame for a second as he addressed Crom. "Whether what you say is true or not how did you break free of your imprisonment? We've been told you were defeated and imprisoned."

"Simple, a mortal used magic to remove the magical statues that imprisoned me there." Crom answered. "They wished for all the gold in the world and Crom's prison was made with gold."

Sebben's eye widened, along with Major Glory. "The Golden Castle crises…Billiam Milliam must have unintentionally set you free."

Billiam Milliam, a criminal who was obsessed with stealing all the riches in the world had used a machine powered by magic to steal all the gold in the world. If Crom's prison was made of gold then it must have been removed, allowing Crom to break free.

"Rolf care's little about your status as a god or not! Rolf and Rolf's family has seen and done many unbelievable things! Rolf's Great Nano crossed the ocean paddling in a canoe made from the soles of his shoes while fighting a Giant Sea Cucumber in an attempt to immigrate to America. The same Giant Sea Cucumber stared at him like a sandwich and that they had to devour it.

Because Rolf's Great Nano, who had one eye, was lost at sea in this battle, Rolf would dress in a tight-fitting sea cucumber suit and prepare a box of sea cucumber balls for the neighbors to feast. Also, around the holidays, Rolf's family worships a woman named Yeshmiyek who lives in the center of the Earth preparing the holiday feast for good males and females.

Rolf also celebrates the guardian pigeon. As Rolf also duels: Rolf would dig a hole and make a bridge of a tree and then Rolf would put on a war-like suit with an ox skull on it and battle Rolf's enemy with dead stiff fish. And you are just another one of those unbelievable things Rolf's family has done! And you will just be another story!

As Rolf's great Nano battled the great sea-cucumber, Rolf is ready to fight here as well!" Rolf proclaimed as he held a giant hammer out. "Behold, the Hammer of Justice! Forged for the protector of Rolf's village."

The rest of the group looked at Rolf with strange looks before getting into their battle poses.

"Wow... I never expected him to be the battle motivational speaker." Agunimon commented.

"Crom admires your enthusiasm, but Crom must warn you... if you don't obey Crom he will use the power of the sun to burn you all to ash." Said Crom with a smile as the group's eyes widened a little. "Or... Perhaps Crom can just take his true form and eat you. It's your choice."

Rolf took several steps forward until he faced Crom, as the two were only several feet apart. "Rolf has an idea. How about a challenge and a bet He-who-must-never-be-named-Crom?"

"Hmm... Interesting, what shall the stakes be?" Crom asked, intrigued by the challenge.

"Simple he-who's-heart-is-as-black-as-coal. If Rolf wins, you leave and never return." Rolf answered.

"Very well then... what is the challenge of your choosing?" Crom asked.

"That's my horse!" Said Rolf and Crom grew a bigger smile on his face and everyone developed disturbed looks on their faces.

"He challenged him to a what?" Capital G asked.

"Shouldn't we... intervene?" Omnimon asked but was ignored.

"Let us begin!" Said Rolf as he pulled out a broth out of nowhere and tossed it at Molly who caught it. "You there! Evil spirit disguised as punk rock Woman! Play the song of Rolf's village!"

Molly sighed before blowing on the lid of the broth and the beat of 'That's My Horse' began to play. Both Crom and Rolf started to dance as everyone stared at them in confusion.

"That's my horse!" Rolf said as he clocked Crom across the face but Crom was barely affected by the blow.

"That's my horse!" Crom said as he kicked Rolf back several feet as the crowd continued to look on.

Rolf just looked up and smiled while pulling out his war hammer and charging at Crom. "Yes that's my horse!"

Rolf uppercut Crom than hit him again, knocking the god back into one of the tanks.

SMASH!

Crom was indented in the tank before pulling himself back up and standing back up, looking back at the war machine he was thrown into before smiling. He grabbed the main gun of the tank and pulled until he ripped the whole turret off as everyone stared in disbelief.

"THAT'S MY HORSE!" Yelled Crom as he leaped into the air with the turret held over his head as he landed in front of Rolf and brought the turret down on his head.

SMASH!

"How is he still standing?!" Kazemon exclaimed in total shock.

"I have a feeling there is a lot more to this boy." Sebben stated before they all heard Rolf's voice from under the turret.

"Uh, uh, uh..." Rolf said as he smashed himself out from under the turret with his hammer and stood back above ground.

The crowd watched as the two just kept swinging back in forth, each one punching each other and knocking each other's blocks off, but both still having smiles on their faces as they were doing it.

"You are all seeing this right? I am not the only one." Kazemon asked.

"Wow…Besides all the destruction this is kind of entertaining." Agunimon admitted.

"Really?" Lowemon sighed.

"Hey come on! We've been through a lot! Let me have this!"

"NO! THAT HORSE IS MINE!" Crom yelled as he kicked Rolf back into wall of City Hall.

SMASH!

But as Rolf fell out of it, he was clearly bruised and hurt, but still smiled as he stood back up with his hammer.

"Your move, child." Said Crom as Rolf's smirk widened.

The hammer he carried suddenly blazed with fire as he swung it, hitting Crom head on and creating an explosion.

BOOM!

"That's my horse!" Rolf yelled as he swung the hammer again.

BOOM!

"My horse!"

BOOM!

"That is my horse!" Rolf yelled yet again as he swung with the hammer suddenly turning icy blue.

But as this blue hammer hit Crom it froze him in a block of ice.

"My horse!" Yelled Rolf as Crom easily broke out of his ice prison, looking back up only to see Rolf's hammer back in its original form careening down and bashing Crom upside the head.

"That's my horse!" Rolf yelled before kicking Crom back several feet with Crom appearing to be almost near being totally defeated.

As Rolf jumped in the air after Crom, he brought his hammer up and then he brought it down on Crom's head.

"That's my-" But as Rolf brought his hammer down, Crom caught it with one hand as the shockwave unleashed a wicked force of energy that everyone blocked by covering their faces.

But as they looked back, they were as shocked as Rolf to see that Crom held back Rolf's hammer as Rolf stared on in disbelief. Crom smiled as he stood back up and looked down at the son of a shepherd, still effortlessly holding back Rolf's hammer as Rolf was still pushing with as much force as he could conjure up.

"What!? No... No this can't be possible!" Said Rolf as he and everyone else looked on in shock.

"My little friend... nothing is impossible." Said Crom as he tightened his fingers around Rolf's hammer as crack lines started to spread around the head of the hammer before...

CRACK!

With all the Dust in the hammer, it let out another shockwave as Rolf was forced back and landed on the ground. Everyone covered their eyes before looking back up to see Rolf's hammer lied in pieces around Rolf.

"Did that really..." Fizz trailed off.

Rolf looked over the shattered remains of his once mighty hammer as he looked down at them with despair, now knowing that Crom was indeed the bloody crescent, the evil god of fertility.

"No... No... Please-... Please forgive Rolf!" Rolf cried as Crom walked up to him.

"Hmm... Should they forgive him, Yeshmiyek?" Crom asked causing Rolf to look up with widened eyes to see Crom talking into the small glowing lantern he had around his neck as he held it up to his face.

"No..." Rolf whispered as he looked at Crom who let go of the lantern that hung in its original position around Crom's neck as he looked down at Rolf again.

"Crom believes he remembers you, or at least your ancestors. The ones who tried to overthrow my rule, but just like when Crom exterminated them, their descendants are not too different." Crom said as Rolf's despair turned to anger as he clenched his fists and leaped after Crom.

"HOW DARE YOU MOCK THE SON OF A-"

But Rolf was unable to finish as Crom knocked Rolf back to the ground with one punch.

"Alright! Enough standing around!" Yelled Fizz as he, the rest of the group, and the entire GrimmFall police force readied themselves as they charged into battle.

Crom simply looked around and sighed as he cracked his neck. As the first group of soldiers charged into Crom with their automatic rifles and bayonets as Crom simply summoned several dozen razor sharp pitch forks as he impaled each one of the soldiers, killing them.

"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Several more soldiers screamed as Crom summoned several more pitch forks as he started stabbing and slashing the soldiers with little to no effort, smiling through the whole thing.

But as another group of soldiers dashed over to him and opened fire the bullets bounced off of the god's skin. Crom was hit with the shell of a tank that blew the soldiers surrounding him back but Crom was unaffected as he looked back at the tank that shot him. Crom held out his hand as he summoned a massive fireball, throwing it at the tank as the fireball tore right through the tank, along with several other cannons, tanks, and soldiers. Crom fired several more fireballs as each one had the same effect tearing through the army and war machines like a knife through butter.

As Crom was about to summon another fireball, a blast hit him from behind.

"Hello." Crom said as he looked behind him to see Omnimon careening down at him with his blade out, repeatedly shooting him with his Garuru Cannon.

Crom moved out of the way with god-like speeds as Omnimon landed and continued to shoot at him before charging at him and assaulting him by swinging his blade. "GREY SWORD!"

Crom effortlessly blocked the Royal Knight's attacks as he was about to smack him away, but Omnimon hopped into the air.

"TRANSCENDENT SWORD!" He swung his blade, releasing an energy wave at Crom that exploded in his face but it was barely effective.

Crom turned back to the Royal Knight only to be greeted by Fizz, Major Glory, Capital G, Agunimon, and Krunk all charging at Crom and hitting him with everything they got. Each of them dashed in for their own hit on the god as the roster rotated and another one of them jumped in to fight Crom. That's when the group instantly decided to fight them all at once as they all dashed in to fight Crom from four sides. However Crom was confident as he summoned two more pitch forks in each hand as he started to catch and reflect the blows of his enemies, knocking Agunimon and Fizz back, kicking Krunk into the ground, grabbing Major Glory by the cape and tossing him back, and nearly impaling Capital G before kicking him back.

Crom looked back as he saw Lowemon, White Tiger, Briggs and Kazemon were about to charge at him, but before they could get close the airships started opening up its machine gun fire on Crom who blocked the bullets with his arms. As the gunfire continued the god raised his arms up as the tiny blades of grass close by immediately transformed into fifty foot long tree sized spears that speared through the airships and tore them apart. More soldier's just charged in as Crom started summoning freezing ice blasts as he blasted the soldiers with them, freezing them in place as Crom kept throwing blasts of ice. It was like a tiger vs a teddy bear as Crom impaled many of them with more pitch forks he summoned before his hands were engulfed in flames as he dashed in and started tearing his thousand degree hands through the helpless untrained warriors.

"Pull them back Fizz! They're no match for him!" Action Hank shouted.

Luckily before he could kill any more, Omnimon dashed in once more as he started dashing left and right attacking Crom but Crom showed little damage before he grabbed Omnimon by the hand and started smashing the Royal Knight into the ground before lifting him back up. Crom smiled as he looked at the Royal Knight, but before he could say anything Kazemon came down on his head from above, slamming her feet onto him and causing him to drop Omnimon.

Crom tried to grab Kazemon but Agunimon charged forward. "Stay away from her! Pyro Punch!"

A flaming fist slugged Crom in the face, burning his face but it instantly started regenerating as he faced Agunimon. Before he could do anything Crom got hit by a powerful blade behind his back as he looked behind him. SAM-R-I stood ready with his sword flashing with electricity as he continued to swing it at Crom, but Crom simply blocked SAM-R-I's blows with his current pitch fork. Both swung their blades back and forth as SAM-R-I proved to be skilled enough to go toe-to-toe with Crom.

SLAM!

SLAM!

SLAM!

Crom was suddenly knocked back as Living Bullet shot in, delivering several blows that were too quick for the distracted Crom to stop. Callie Briggs jumped in, summoning tiger constructs with her Semblance that he slashed at Crom. Sebben hit Crom with his bo-staff and he managed to dodge many of Crom's attacks before swiftly attacking back. Capital G charged in with his fists up as he started brutally punching Crom while shrinking under many of Crom's attacks before returning to normal size and attacking again.

Action Hank then aimed two giant guns at Crom at point blank range and fired away while White Tiger slashed at Crom with his claws. However much like the others, the group of more experienced heroes never stood a chance as Crom pulled out more pitch forks. Slashing them at the group and knocking them back with one swing of them, cutting through Callie's animal constructs before head-butting Capital G several feet back.

"ROAR!" White Tiger let loose with his Semblance, roaring in Crom's face and causing the god to cover his ears.

It worked for a second before Crom inhaled and blew, releasing a powerful gust that sent White Tiger crashing into City Hall. Action Hank still unloaded into Crom with his guns but Crom smacked the guns out of Hank's hands as he swiped again. Only for Hank to jump out of the way and charge back into Crom, savagely beating him and using his military training to get a few good hits on Crom before Crom quickly caught Hank's last punch.

Hank tried to head-butt Crom, but after the blow Crom just shook his head to get rid of the dizziness as he head-butted Hank back with a blow that was twice as powerful before clocking Hank and knocking him through the wall of City Hall.

SMASH!

Sebben dodged another hit from Crom before he back flipped several feet away; staying in his defensive position as Crom walked closer to him, but before he could Omnimon and Agunimon dashed up behind Crom and started fighting.

Sebben let his guard down for a moment as he looked around, seeing the several dozen wounded and dead officers lying on the ground. "Callie, Bullet get the wounded away from here. As many as you can."

Callie nodded and summoned more animal constructs to find and rescue survivors. Living Bullet immediately helped by speeding through the battle field to find any more survivors.

"Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon shouted, firing his ice blast at Crom.

The evil god spun a single pitchfork with one hand, blocking the attack and charged at the Royal Knight, grabbing him. Despite his struggles Crom overpowered Omnimon and threw him into a pile of rubble.

"Fighting Crom with ice?" Crom asked with a smile. "Amusing and a waste of time."

"How about this?" Agunimon said before transforming into BurningGreymon. "Pyro Barrage!"

From his cannons came beams of white hot heat that collided directly with Crom who simply stood by and let the blast hit him. There was a blast and for a second everyone thought it was over. However as soon as the dust cleared Crom stood in the center of the fire without a single burn or scratch mark on him.

"And fire? Crom is god of the sun!" Crom shouted as he gathered the fire surrounding him into his hand, creating a miniature sun and then released a giant fiery blast at the flaming warrior.

BurningGreymon covered his face as the blast forced him back, the attack actually scorching his armor. Crom wasn't done as he collided with the flaming warrior, slugging him in the stomach and then grabbed him by the neck.

"Crom is not sure why the beings of this world would try to make an abomination by combining dragon and man together? A crime against nature if you ask Crom." Crom said as he began choking BurningGreymon.

"Let him go!" Kazemon shouted, rushing at Crom and then delivering a barrage of kicks followed by a back-flip kick that knocked Crom back, forcing him to drop BurningGreymon.

Crom grunted, grabbing Kazemon by the legs and slammed her into the ground. "And a fairy…Crom thought he took care of all of you. Oh well, another moth to the flame.

"Shadow Meteor!"

Crom looked up, watching as a golden energy wave fired at him but he slashed through it with a pitchfork. Krunk rushed in, delivering a powerful punch that knocked Crom back. The purple giant roared as he punched away at Crom who was dazed from a few blows before he started fighting back, making the fight even.

However Crom had magic on his side.

He grabbed Krunk's arm and superheated his head, causing it to burn through Krunk's skin. Krunk let out a scream of pain before Crom slugged him in the face, sending him flying across the field.

"You monster!" Major Glory flew in, delivering a right blow to Crom's face that caused the god to stagger back.

Crom recovered and backhanded Major Glory away, sending him crashing into a nearby building. A shadow fell over him and he looked up just in time to see Capital G who reared his foot back and kicked Crom with all of his strength, sending the evil god across the field, colliding with a building. Crom emerged a second later, brushing some glass from his shoulder and chuckled as he looked up at the giant. Fire burst from his body, taking the shape of a fiery serpent dragon that lashed out at Capital G, biting at his arms and shoulders as he tried to fight it off.

"No match." Crom said, summoning more flaming serpents that wrapped around Capital G, burning at him until he shrunk down to escape.

Looking around Crom could see all the heroes and warriors badly injured but still willing to fight. "If you truly value your lives... I suggest you bow or run."

"You and what army?" BurningGreymon asked snidely.

"Guys! Look!" Lowemon shouted as everyone looked over to see a man walking onto the field who was covered in wooden armor.

They then heard rocks crumbling from the other side and turned to see a man covered in golden armor standing there. They then heard a whoosh of wind making them look over as they see a woman several dozen feet away from Crom in dark blue armor standing there. And finally on top of the City Hall building was a man who was covered head to toe in blood red armor.

The group stared at the four new combatants as each one leaped from their original position hundreds of feet in the air as they landed behind their master as Molly stood next to Crom.

"HAIL CROM!" The group said in unison as they held their cursed weapons in the air.

"Crom has had fun…All of this carnage…Grand as it was back then." Crom said as he looked across the battlefield. "But Crom has forgotten why he has come. Crom offers this choice to the world…Obey and bow or suffer in eternal darkness. Crom promises to block out the sun, bringing an Eternal Night to the entire world. The land will freeze, plants and animals will die, you will never see light and you will wither and die."

The heroes and hunters gathered as Crom made his proclamation.

"You have one day to willingly surrender or the Eternal Night will force you to submit." Crom said, turning around. "Heed Crom's words…The Age of Mortals is over…Now the Time of Crom has begun."

There was flash of light and Crom along with his servants were gone.

Callie Briggs picked up the defeated Rolf and brought him to the group.

"Is he okay?" Sebben asked.

"Rolf's vision was right…" Both Sebben and Briggs looked at Rolf for a moment.

Callie looked back at Sebben. "He's fine."

As the group regathered, starting helping wounded survivors a caped figure watched from the roof of a nearby building and then looked to the sky. "Seems Armageddon has finally arrived."

Xxx

"WE HAVE INJURED PEOPLE! SEND IN THE MEDICS!" Fizz shouted upon returning to the Hall of Heroes.

Krunk, Action Hank, Capital G and Rolf were all severally injured as they were helped in and sat down on tables nearby.

"What happened!?" Jennifer Uno gasped in horror at how bad everyone looked.

"We underestimated the guy! He took us by surprise! We were totally unprepared!" Fizz yelled.

"How many-" Monty asked.

"Too many! Too many people died!" Fizz snapped.

"Yes..." Said Rolf as everyone looked at him as Rolf looked up.

"As Rolf said, he knows about Crom Cruach... but Rolf underestimated his power. Rolf had a vision a few days ago during a ceremony he performed. Rolf could feel a storm coming... Rolf saw the future, and everyone was dead. Skeletons. Rolf didn't know who or what did that... but Rolf fears Crom might be that." Rolf said looking at everyone.

"So wait... does that mean we're all going to... die?" Nazz asked fearfully.

"No! Not at all! Rolf probably didn't see anything. He's just scared." Abby replied.

"I have to agree with Abby. Even if Rolf saw the future, it was just that. A prediction, the future is not set in stone." Omnimon said, groaning a bit from the pain he still felt.

"Okay, now... What are Crom's plans? Is he just going to take over GrimmFall or what?" Kazemon asked.

"No, Crom will force the people of the world to worship him. With no other gods around to challenge his power, he will use his power over wealth, fertility, nature, and the sun to cause livestock to die, for all eatable plant matter to wither, for money to become worthless, and use the sun to... to..." Rolf trailed off.

"Oh, that's just great." Eddy said sarcastically.

"Does this guy even have a weakness? What should we do?" Asked Jonny.

"It is not only that Jonny-the-wood-boy... it gets worse." Rolf said. "Rolf found out how Crom gained so much power... he imprisoned Yeshmiyek in the lantern around his neck! He is taking the power from the goddess!"

"Wait... that's great! Then that mean's if we take the lantern away he's have no power! Right?" Capital G asked, working on applying bandaging Krunk's arm.

"Guys, I think we still have bigger fish to fry. Rolf said those... Harvesters are gonna do what Crom says? Does that mean he's gonna order them to attack people?" Nigel asked.

"Yes, Rolf did say that... But Rolf suggests we hurry before-" Rolf was interrupted.

"Hey... is the sun getting bigger or is that just me?" Agunimon asked.

Everyone looked over at the large window only to see the sun itself very slowly getting bigger as the sky started to turn orange-red and everyone could feel it getting slightly hotter. Everyone stared out the window in awe of the growing state of the sun.

"I would say if we are going to stop Crom, we better hurry." Lowemon said.

"I might be able to help."

The ground turned around to see none other than the winged man who had been watching Crom's movements earlier: Harvey Birdman.

"There might not be gods around to challenge him…But he is not the only sun god out there who can bless others." Birdman said, holding his hand and everyone watched as a small miniature sun appeared in the palm.

Just like Crom.
