Up on a nearby mountain-top, the creature later known as Roger descries his existence, wishing for an end. He is approached by another creature who claims to be his 'brother', telling Roger that both of them were created by the same alchemist, and that he has collected their creator's secrets, and plans for a great gift to the world. Meanwhile, Kate and Hellboy stumble upon a hidden lab with a 6-story tall oven. They are suddenly beset by an army of small creatures. *Source: Warlock
