Cross and everyone else went with the Count, amazed at his progress against the Elites. They didn't want to ally with such a brute, but it was their only hope. So they went to a council chamber and discussed boring politics and ways to dispose of HA. So as they left the chamber, they pretty much hated each others guts. The RAOG would have to look elsewhere for an ally. But the Count wouldn't let them leave easily. It took them nearly an hour to get out. But after a while the Count realized that he couldn't stop them from leaving, no matter what he did. He made a mistake. He underestimated them. The group was left in shambles, nearly completely destroyed. The Count stopped doing his horrible tasks.
LA was almost at the edge of controlling his power. They decided that they couldn't risk holding him back any longer. Cross wasn't doing to well, either. Although he regained control of his body, the other part of him was ready to take over. Their next move would be the last. They were headed for HA's main Council. The final war was about to start.
