Final Story: Setup

For several years CROSS has trained some of the strongest exorcists in history. It was a secretive organization built underneath the foundation of the Vatican to combat the more physical and powerful demonic forces. Little of this world is known to humanity as they work covertly and exorcisms are performed within a Lexicon Barrier which separates the realities within from those outside. These barriers are powered by the Lexicon which resides in the Vatican under the protection of their greatest Light-bringers, the strongest Exorcists in CROSS. Light-bringers specialized in exorcisms that brought light to those possessed, saving the innocence.

The organization of CROSS was spread thin this night. But that wasn’t the catalyst that brought upon the Fourth War. Banes, who were direct emissaries to Satan, had begun their assault on several holy locations around the world. CROSS was immediately put in a precarious position as this. Hell or Gehenna as CROSS refers to it has never made such a bold and brazen move before. But it had to make a decision. They summoned the Light-bringers from Vatican to deal with the Banes of Decay, and Corruption. However, this was according to Satan’s plans. The Bane of Shadows would disguise himself as Decay, leaving the real Decay free to move. Under the cloak of Shadows, Decay infiltrated the Vatican and laid to waste the Lexicon. The Barrier which served as the shelf that separated mortal races from the demonic world had been destroyed. Mankind was now under full attack, innocents and civilians now dragged into this holy war.
