'''The Almighty Crisis''' was a brief but potentially cataclysmic event between the [[Guardian]]s of the Last City and the desperate [[Cabal]] [[Red Legion]]. It was the concurrent conflict to [[Season of Dawn]] and [[Season of the Worthy]].

==Prelude==
==Prelude==
In the wake of countless losses at the hands of the Guardians, a [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer|quartet]] [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater|of]] [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice|Psion]] [[Amtec|Flayers]] from the Red Legion sought to harness [[Osiris]]'s [[The Sundial|Sundial]] in the hopes of altering time in which the outcome of the [[Red War]] was an absolute victory for the Legion and Empire. Despite weeks of continual battling the Guardians and even the fusion of three members of the quartet into [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]], the Flayer's and Legion's plans to subvert time were ultimately thwarted leaving the Legion further broken and lacking further leadership. Swearing revenge, the fourth, last and youngest of the remaining Psion Flayers, Amtec, established herself as the last remaining leader of the Red Legion in Sol. Wanting the complete obliteration of the Last City, she had the Legion board the Almighty and scuttle it, aiming it on a collision course with the Last City.
Despite suffering from desertions after the years following the [[Red War]], the Red Legion began to make a reappearance some time following the [[Nightmare Hunt]]s and the [[Vex Offensive|Vex's Offensives]] on [[Luna]]. As a result of the Undying Mind's final destruction, the Timeways over Mercury have become undone, allowing anyone access into the [[Corridors of Time]]. A family of [[Psion Flayer]]s took notice of this and sought to use such power to their advantage. Taking control of the Red Legion's remaining forces, the Psion Sisters commandeered the device called the [[Sundial]], a creation of Osiris', in attempt to assume control over time itself. Their goal in using Osiris' creation was to alter time itself. As in, undo their defeat in the Red War at the hands of the Guardians. However, [[Osiris]] learned of the Red Legion's activities and, refusing to allow the timeways to be perverted, summons the Guardians to combat the Red Legion.

===The Sundial===
{{Expand-section}}
For weeks, the Guardians battled the Red Legion's forces, using the Sundial to confront and defeat the Psion Flayer masterminds, the sisters [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice]], [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer]] and [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater]]. However, refusing to be defeated so easily, the three sisters combined together, creating [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]], to defeat the Guardians. Despite Inotam's power, the Guardians prevailed, stopping the Red Legion from assuming control over time itself and undoing the Guardians victory in the Red War.
Swearing revenge for the death of her sisters, the fourth, last and youngest of the remaining Psion Flayers, Amtec, established herself as the last remaining leader of the Red Legion in Sol. Wanting the complete obliteration of the Last City, she had the Legion board the Almighty and scuttle it, aiming it on a collision course with the Last City.

Despite the [[The Almighty|current situation]], Zavala decides to set up a colourful event of friendly competition in the form of the titular Guardian Games in an attempt to help alleviate the stress of these circumstances and keep morale steady.

Mere days before the Almighty was slated to crash into the Last City, Rasputin began bombarding the Almighty using the satellites that Guardians had assisted in rearming during the prior months. This barrage of weapons fire continued for a full hour where they continued pelting the shield of the superweapon, until the Almighty finally began to break up and explode once its core was struck in a spectacular fashion, crashing into the side of a mountain outside the City, unleashing a large shockwave, and ending the legacy of the superweapon. Despite this, its wings still hung in the orbit of Earth for a few more hours until falling where debris continues to rain down. Its debris struck the Tower causing some minor damage towards the back end of the [[Eververse]] shop. The Tower was unscathed without considering the minor hits it took

Despite Amtec's efforts, her scheme ended in a blazing wreck that left her vengeance unfulfilled and the Red Legion completely weakened and lost. However, it is unconfirmed if Amtec died in the Almighty's explosion or remains alive. In the wake of the Almighty falling, the Legion entered an even more drastic state of desperation and in time began to be rallied by Caiatl. It is unknown if Amtec, due to her unconfirmed death, leads the remains of the Legion.
