Plot
Fred is a humble old man, who has adopted Duke and has been taking care of him for days. A similar fate occurs when Katie finds Max and decides to take care of him. On a cold December night, they meet, forming a huge friendship. Meanwhile, in a “middle-class” realm known as Chaima, among the flowing rivers of green goo, lives a huge monster. A legend that has been told from generation to generation known as “The New York Behemoth”, watching those who observe themselves as worthy of the human race. Being a hybrid of a Crocodile, gorilla, and cobra, The New York Behemoth prepares himself to take down the city that never sleeps, and to overthrow reality by becoming the supreme ruler of the universe by supernatural means. This leads to Fred and Katie teaming up to find the truth of the monster’s birth and reason to exist, as they assemble a team of paranormal hunters named The Myth Trappers and successfully sending the sociopathic behemoth to oblivion, before noticing that Fred died when sacrificing himself to save his friend Duke, and Katie. And as of 10 days later, The New York Behemoth finds a dead but truly “unconscious” Russian soldier named Patrick Clarkson. With his supernatural powers, The New York Behemoth revives him and orders him to continue his secret plan: Inhuman Crosses.
