Opening File: VKJN
In response to the abduction of the Ice, Candy and Slime Elementals Phil Ken Sebben has called on four special Hunters to take part in a rescue mission.
Leading the team is the Viking God of Rock, Valhallen who has the power to teleport himself and anyone with him to anywhere in the cosmos. Valhallen is an Asgardian and his people have faced the Gems before during invasion(See Gem-Asgardian War).
His partner is the Infraggable Krunk, the world's strongest mortal and the muscle of the group.
Next is Jesse McCree, former member of the notorious Deadlock Gang and Overwatch, and is known for taking part in the deaths of two Fallen, Gabriel Reyes and Umbra.

Opening File: Team CROW
As Sebben began assembling his team to rescue the Elementals so did Sammael, giving leadership of the team to a young woman named Cree Lincoln who was later confirmed to be the older sister of Abigail Lincoln, the current Candy Elemental.
Acting as her partner was a machine that was a prototype for the Hunter Killer Program, a division set up to create new machines and weapon to kill hunters.
Sammael secretly sought out two more members who were close the Ice and Candy Elementals. The first was Omnimon, better known as the Grimm Slayer.
And the last was Wallabee Beatles, a monkey Faunus and close friend of the Elementals like Omnimon.
Together this group became Team CROW, a team assembled by Sammael, two of them forcefully recruited, to rescue the Elementals from the Gem Homeworld.

Opening File: Gem-Asgardian War
Existing in a 'pocket' dimension Asgard is home to the powerful Asgardians, a race worshiped as gods in the Norse Mythology. Standing among them are Odin the All-Father, Loki, Baldur, Thor and most famously: Valhallen the Viking God of Rock. Approximately six thousand years ago when the Gems came with intent to colonize Earth they did not realize that their mission had drawn the attention of Asgard, which had taken the roll of protector of many other realms connected through the World Tree, including Earth (known to them as 'Midgard').
The All-Father, accompanied by his sons and a vast pantheon of powerful warriors at the head of an army greater than any the Gems had expected to run into on an undeveloped world. He commanded that the Gems withdraw from Earth in peace or meet Asgardian steel. The Gems responded as one would expect, triggering a prolonged war which coincided with the rebellion of Rose-Quartz, who eventually formed a direct alliance with Asgard.
In return for military assistance, the Crystal Gems would provide the Asgardians with military intelligence that allowed them to combat this unfamiliar foe more effectively as well as avoid running afoul of the Grimm that infested Earth.
Eventually though, the Gems shifted their attention towards Asgard, which they saw as the primary supporter of Rose's rebel group. The Diamond Authority, alerted to this threat, devised a method of tracking the Asgardians through their 'bifrost' transport network back to their pocket dimension. With this and the element of surprise, the Gems launched an attack upon Asgard, forcing its armies to withdraw to defend their home.
Despite this, the Gems weren't able to gain much ground. Heimdall, the gate keeper of Asgard as well as operator of the Bifrost, was able to engage their vanguard long enough for the skeleton garrison to fortify, buying time for Odin, Loki and Baldur to return with their forces while Thor and Valhallen remained on Earth to assist the Crystal Gems.
Eventually the Gems were repelled from Asgard, but the Homeworld had found the means to access other realms defended by Asgard, drawing it into a prolonged conflict even after Earth had been liberated from Gem occupation. In the waning months of this war the end came in the form of a fracturing bond between father and son: Odin and Loki specifically. Loki had discovered that he was not, as he originally believed, a true son of Odin but rather an adopted Jotun (ice giant) who was made to resemble an Asgardian with a glamour of magic.
Seeking to prove himself over his brothers Thor, Valhallen and Baldur, Loki sought to destroy the Pit of Hate and was, in the process, corrupted by the same essence which created the Grimm. Now devoted to the destruction of Asgard with every one of his mischievous and treacherous attributes amplified, Loki opened Asgard up to a Grimm horde after immobilizing Heimdall, allowing the Grimm to gain a foothold and take the Asgardians by surprise.
Across the nine realms, Asgardian armies withdrew from battle with the Gems once more to save their home world. This brought an end to the 'Gem-Asgardian' war from the perspective of the Gems, who thought that their long-time foes would trouble them no longer. In truth however, after several years the Asgardians were able to cleanse the Grimm taint from their home…at a high cost.
Thor, the son of Odin, the Thunderer, was slain in battle against his brother Loki. This brought about widespread repercussions for all of Asgard, as this event had derailed the prophecized event known as Ragnarok, the depicted end of their civilization. Some took this with fear and hysteria, but others saw it as being freed from the chains of fate. In order for Ragnarok to commence, Thor's brother Baldur had to be slain first, followed by Thor when confronted by the Midgard Serpent. With this linear prediction no longer possible, the Asgardians rallied behind Odin and brought a new war to the Gems, driving them from every realm under their domain.
Not expecting a sudden attack on all fronts and having moved most of their military assets back to their own universe, the Gems were unable to hold the line and the Gem-Asgardian war ended in an Asgardian victory. Valhallen, to this date, is the only Asgardian who has shown regular contact with Earth, often appearing in the midst of battle against the Grimm to lend aid when called upon through prayer (this is subject to debate). The exact status of Asgard, Odin All-Father and the rest of Valhallen's people remain unknown.

Opening File: Miss Spell
Born with the rare ability to wield magic Kath Rouge who would later became Miss Spell was born to an ordinary human and a woman who was what is referred to as a Homo Magi, a sub-race of naturally magic wielding Humans but there have been documented cases of Faunus and Mobians with the same abilities. They are believed to be direct descendants of a civilization when magic was a gift shared by great beings that had come from other worlds. Following the great cataclysm the surviving Homo Magi bred with normal humans, resulting in the next generations Homo sapiens. Miss Spell carries the Homo Magic gene, allowing her to perform great feats but she learned to hide them to avoid being exploited.
She was taught magic by her mother, learning the importance of balance between the realms of mortals and magic, as well as learning how to disguise her magic as a powerful psionic Semblance that manifests in the form of pink energy that matches her Aura. Her skills in magic were the most advanced seen in centuries, rivaled only by the Te Xuan Ze, becoming a famous magician. Eventually she came into contact with an anti-magical group known as H.A.M. and was forced to defend herself. Luckily help came in the form of the newly assembled Justice Friends, led by Major Glory.
Believing that H.A.M. was too dangerous to be left alone Kath Rouge became Miss Spell, the magical expert of the Justice Friends, easily passing the Hunter exam and became a famous hero. She also eventually fell in love with fellow member Phan-Tone and both married. Miss Spell is dedicated to the protection of magical beings and the balance between mortal and magic.

Opening File: Phan Tone
The ghostly member of the Justice Friends and husband of Miss Spell, this being came into existence from the souls of several murder victims. The murder weapon was a knife made of Black Dust that upon contact drained entire Aura and souls into it. The knife was recovered by a member of DexLabs who hoped to create an android capable of generating its own Aura. The body was made with a super plastic for skin, synthetic organic tissue, an electronic brain that can process a hundred times faster than a human brain and when the knife was used to transfer the Aura it housed into the body it instantly gained its Semblance which is extremely powerful.
Due to having an amalgamation of souls Phan Tone wields a rare form of Semblance known as a Multi-Semblance which means a Semblance can show multiple abilities. His Semblance is called Color Harmony and its abilities are represented by the different colors on his outfit and by the types of notes he sings.
Green - intangibility: Being a ghostly entity, Phan Tone can make his body transparent at will and phase through people and objects. He can even appear and disappear at will.
Orange – adaptive camouflage: Phan Tone can change the colors of his skin to the point he can disguise himself as an ordinary human.
Blue - flight: Phan Tone is given ability to fly and can even travel into space.
Red – telepathy: Phan Tone is able to read minds of anyone he locks onto.
Purple – lullaby: Phan Tone can cause anyone to fall asleep by humming a specific tune.
White – telekinesis: Phan Tone is able to telekinetically move objects and even people.
Grey – energy blast: Phan Tone is able to channel his multi-colored Aura into a blast of energy from his forehead.
Phan Tone contains the memories of souls contained in the Black Dust knife combined with the advanced AI programming downloaded into his computer brain, giving him a sense of right and wrong. For a time Phan Tone was confused about his role in the world due to the memories of the souls he had gained. It was not until he encountered the owner of DexLabs, Dexter O'Reilly whose kindness and wisdom inspired Phan Tone to use his second chance at life to bring his own murderer to justice which he eventually did. Deciding his purpose was to now be a Hunter or hero he spent his time fighting Grimm and criminals until he was recruited by the Justice Friends where he would also meet and marry Miss Spell.
As a member of the Justice Friends Phan Tone is considered one of the most powerful heroes in the world and is considered an idol by many.

"We all carry scars, both mental and physical. Be it in an ordinary life, the life of a soldier, hero or even villain we all carry them. I carry a few battle scars myself, having been through at least four bodies that were all destroyed and I'm a simply TV show host. What's that say about the world we live in?" TOM wondered, watching as the files closed.

"HOAGIE! HOAGIE!"
Betty Gilligan was beside herself with worry as she looked all over the town for her eldest son. He was not in the Northwest Mansion, she looked all over the house and then went out to find him with Tommy while Lydia went somewhere.
"HOAGIE!" Betty called out, becoming nearly hysterical.
Nearby Juniper Lee along with Ray-Ray, Dennis and Lila were standing near the arcade with June holding up her bracelet.
"So why are we out here again?" Ray-Ray asked.
"Trying to track the magical disturbance. Ah-Mah thinks its Cipher, doing something big." June answered.
"He's probably going to try and set that portal up. Any idea where it is?" Dennis asked.
"No clue." June shrugged. "I thought it'd be with his cult of robed geeks but nothing down there looked like a portal."
"Not a lot of places in a town like this to hide in." Dennis looked around.
"Maybe it's in a secret lair. Overlooking the water." Ray-Ray suggested with an eager smile.
June shook her head and held up her bracelet again. "I think it's coming from…" She pointed at the Northwest mansion and watched as the bracelet flashed ever faster. "That mansion."
"The home of that snooty family that lied about founding the town?" Dennis scoffed. "Didn't think anything exciting happened there."
"I guess I'll have to check it out." June sighed. "Doubt I'll get a warm welcome."
A scream rang out and the Lees spun around, watching as the only two police officers in town ran for their lives from…
Hoss Delgado!
"Oh no, not again!" June groaned.
The so-called spectral exterminator was strolling into town, holding up his mechanical hand that was beeping.
"A high level spectral disturbance. Well, seems this night won't be so boring." He looked up at the Northwest mansion. "And it's coming from there. Well," His hand changed into its crossbow mode with a chainsaw already loaded in. "I hope they are ready for a new kind of party."
"Want to bet?" Hoss narrowed his eye as Juniper Lee stepped out, standing directly in his path. "I thought you got the memo last time."
"Oh, I got your memo." Delgado's crossbow shifted again, becoming what appeared to be some sort advanced taser. "And I'm here to give it back."
June narrowed her eyes. "Fine. I was cocky last time. I won't make that mistake again."
"Is that so?" Hoss held up his taser. "Well this might come as a shock to you."
He fired a blast of electrical energy right at June, starting off their rematch.

"Ugh, it's like this collar is strangling me."
Dipper was starting to seriously reconsider this whole favor for the Northwests. He only came here just to check on some sort of ghost problem they claimed to be having. Mabel and the other girls were the only ones who wanted to be here. Then Pacifica dragged him off into a room and forced him into a tuxedo.
Seriously, why didn't he just walk away?
"Who do you guys think you're impressing with this stuff?" Dipper asked, still tugging at his collar.
"Um, everyone." Pacifica tied Dipper's bow tie. "You wouldn't understand. High standards are what make the Northwest family great."
"Funny, I thought it was lying about founding the town." Dipper smirked and fiddled with a picture frame's tassel.
"Don't touch that!"
Xxx
"What exactly are the Northwests attempting with this party?"
"The same as any elite wealthy family, showing everyone they are rich and hope to connect with other elite families."
"That is…underwhelming."
"Indeed it is."
The woman had long red hair and she wore a pink and red evening gown, red high heels and red gloves. The man had short grey hair, red eyes and wore a black tuxedo. The woman had her arms around the man's as they walked into the Northwest mansion.
"Can you sense anyone?" The woman asked.
The man's eyes flashed. "A great deal of them might be on watch list. Others are foreign diplomats and rulers. The kind of people we expected to be here."
"And our hosts?"
"He's here and I can't read his mind." The man answered.
"Then we know who to look for."
In another part of the room Mabel, Candy and Grenda came upon a large book resting on a stand.
"Oh wow, guys, it's the guest list!" Candy opened the book and girls looked through the pages.
"Whoa, check out this hottie!" Grenda exclaimed,
"Marius von Fundshauser! He's a baron from Austria!" Candy read excitedly.
"Forget the quail, I'm putting him in my guest basket!" Mabel gushed.
"Hold up, ladies. I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I think this boy is out of our league." Grenda pointed out with a rare serious look on her face.
"Grenda is right." Candy nodded. "He's a white whale. Hunting him will destroy us."
"There are tons of cute boys coming. Let's swear a sisters' truce not to waste time on Marius."Mabel proposed.
All three girls placed their hands together. "Deal!"
Xxx
"Whoa." Dipper stared at the room Pacifica led him to where the so-called ghost sightings had occurred.
It had everything you'd expect in a house owned by a family like the Northwests: dead stuffed animal heads on the walls, paintings, a fireplace, and lots of dark wooden furniture. The whole room was lit by the fireplace and gave it a dark reddish light.
"This is the main room where it's been happening." Pacifica said calmly.
"Yep, this looks like the kind of room that would be haunted, all right. I wouldn't worry about it, though." Dipper held up the journal. "Ghosts fall on a ten-category scale. Floating plates sound like a Category 1."
Pacifica did not look impressed. "So what? Are you gonna bore him back into the afterlife by reading from this book?"
"Just gotta splash this sucker with some anointed water." Dipper pulled out a small round bottle of water. "And he should be out of your probably-fake blonde hair."
"What was that about my hair?"
Dipper brought out his EMF detector. "Shh! I'm picking something up."
Dipper walked further into the room, stopping before a tall painting of a lumberjack over the fire place just before the device lost its signal for a moment.
"C'mon, stupid thing." Dipper tapped the device and the signal returned. "There we go."
Dipper looked back at the painting, and the lumberjack inside has disappeared. "Uh, Pacifica?"
Pacifica noticed blood dripping from above and looked up. Blood swelled from the mouths of the stuffed animal heads on the walls. Dipper shouted as the fire bursts out of the fireplace and the animal heads started to chant.
"ANCIENT SINS. ANCIENT SINS. ANCIENT SINS."
Books, furniture, and antique weapons flew around Dipper and Pacifica, and the chandelier above crackles dangerously.
"Dipper, what is this?"
"It's a Category 10."
The bottle of anointed water broke, and Dipper let out another scream while Pacifica remained oddly calm.
"ANCIENT BLOOD AND BLACKENED SKIES. THE FOREST DARK SHALL ONCE MORE RISE."
The fire flamed up again, and Dipper and Pacifica hide under a table while a giant black skeleton emerged from the fire. A body formed around the skeleton of an enormous lumberjack with a beard made of fire and an ax in his head.
"I smell... A NORTHWEST!" An axe materialized in his hand, begins dragging ax along the floor. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
"Hurry! Read through your dumb book already!"
"I'm looking! And it's not dumb, okay? This book is gonna save our lives! Alright, here we go. Advice:" Dipper held his portable black light over book, which read 'PRAY FOR MERCY!'. "Aww, seriously?!"
The table floated out from over them, revealing them to the ghost.
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE!" It sliced at them with the ax but luckily they dodged.
"This way! Hurry!"
Dipper and Pacifica flee down the hall, pursued by the ghost.

"Welcome, dukes and duchesses, sultans, and sportsmen." Preston said after the doors of the Northwest mansion opened, allowing all of the party guests to enter.
"Yo, what up, Presto?" The mayor of Gravity Falls greeted.
"And, reclusive 102-year-old mayor of Gravity Falls, Mayor Befufflefumpter."
The mayor gestured to vultures circling overhead. "It's okay, they're with me."
"Tonight we will enjoy only the finest of tastes and only the snootiest of laughter." Preston said, earning a few laughs from the crowd. "That's the ticket!"
"He's so lame." A certain red haired girl groaned.
Fanny Fulbright was wearing a leaf green dress and her hair was straightened back. She might have looked beautiful but she was dead bored on the inside. Oh how she wish she had been allowed to bring her sword with her but dear daddy had said no.
What a rough life she had.
Meanwhile Candy was over at the fondue fountain, switching between the two delicious melted foods. "Cheese, chocolate, cheese, chocolate-"
"Candy, listen to me carefully." Mabel interrupted. "You're caught in a sweet-savory loop. Put the fondue fork down."
"I want to, but I can't." Candy replied, looking as if she was in a trance.
The sound of glass ringing gathered everyone's attention.
"Introducing Baron Marius von Fundshauser." The butler stepped out of the way, allowing the young baron to enter.
Upon seeing him Mabel, Candy and Grenda were silenced in awestruck. Marius was roughly the same height as Grenda. He had fair skin, thick eyebrows, a large, pointed chin with a cleft, and shoulder-length brown hair. Much like Grenda, he had a red mole on his left cheek.
Marius wore white shirt with a long cravat under a red military tunic with gold epaulets, white pants and gloves, and black riding boots. He also wore a military medal with a green and white ribbon on his chest.
"Guten tag!" Marius greeted warmly to everyone.
"Guten take-me-now!" Mabel exclaimed for trying to make a dash for Marius but was held back by Grenda and Candy.
"Mabel, we had a truce!" Grenda protested.
"Yes yes, a truce! Uh, Grenda? Can you go fetch us some fancy napkins?" Candy suggested.
"Wow, okay!" Grenda walked off.
Candy turned to Mabel. "Listen, Mabel, I don't know if I can follow this truce! He is too adorable!"
"Huh, me too, Candy. But what do we do? He's unattainable!"
"What if we flirt with him as a team? With our cuteness combined, one of us might have a chance!" Candy suggested.
"It is the perfect plan, but what about Grenda?" Mabel asked.
"I love Grenda, Mabel. But these boys are fancy! Her aggressive flirting style might scare them away!" Candy pointed out.
They looked over, seeing Grenda pointing at a boy's jacket.
"What's on your shirt?" Grenda asked and when the boy looked down she smacked his nose with finger. "Haha, gullible! ...Loser!"
Mabel and Candy nodded grimly to each other.
More glasses ringing was heard.
"We present Duke Benedict Uno and Benedict Junior of England!" A butler called out.
Through the doors walked an elderly looking man with a dark skin, a bald head with a grey goatee and yellow looking eyes. He wore an expensive looking suit along with a dark coat, black boots and white gloves. Behind him was a young man with dark hair, the same yellow eyes behind a pair of glasses and wore a similar outfit to his father.
"Presenting Queen Nana and Princess Lilo of Moanna!"
The Queen of Hawaii looked every bit as royal as her name suggested, wearing a turquoise colored floor length gown with short sleeves and a dark sash. With her was Lilo, wearing a blue gown with a white sash that complimented her hair that tied in a bun.
There were no more announcements after that but as party guests started to mingle none of them noticed someone slip in.
"Now, where is the dear Northwest heiress?"
It was none other than Mandy, wearing a pink gown decorated with yellow flowers. If not for her permanent frown and red eyes she would have been considered extremely beautiful to anyone who might have had the courage to approach her.
Unfortunately Mandy was only here for one purpose: payback.
She did not like to lose.
Ever.
And while she was impressed by how Pacifica defeated her that only placed her on Mandy's list and now Mandy was here to settle the score.
"Hope your all ready for my kind of party." Mandy muttered, her red eyes flashing. "It's going to be one you probably won't forget."
