The sound of machinery is running rampant as Elvo browses one of the many new factory stations to check on the progress of the fleets creation, the massive contruct she is inspecting bares a cruiser assembly system, the basic chassis and framework is created before being handed off to one of the few other assembly lines present, one line being for the ausf A which is the standard variant, another is the assault carrier F pattern and the third for the heavy-hitting G, all being built on the Reaper-Chassis. This station is only one of the many creating not just the cruisers, but of the many creating the mighty armadas alongside the building the legions getting prepared to do Magnum's bidding.

The coyote continues to move about the cyberspace until she looks out onto the void, the massive automated ships carefully finding placement as they are filed into proper fleets and battlegroups, from the small corvettes to the more beastly battleships and carriers that are fewer in number but still being built in decent numbers. Her gaze goes towards a pair of massive installations that are being protected by at least half of the gathered ships, the massive foundries are actually several manufacturing stations put together in a larger configuration... Elvo checks to see how the two stations are doing and they are stable all the way, she also double checks the other stations and it's the same situation...

Elvo finishes her review of all the process taking place 'Already we have quite an impressive fleet, it stands at hundreds strong and it's only growing.' she looks to a passing battlecruiser as it goes to take it's place in the fleet 'Even the Knight Orders will tremble once the veil has been discarded.'

Elvo notices that another project has been completed which earns an excited smirk from her...

................

On Terra, Magnum is driving his new machine around, Vanessa and Farryn are in the car with him as he races on the back roads, all while having a mocked up license provided by Elvo along with some updated paperwork all while the a.i. made sure to put into the system. The two ladies cheering as they enjoy the ride in the falcon, the advanced engine helping in giving the classic ride it's power as it zooms. They eventually reach the clubhouse of the Hell's Greaser's, the ride getting everyone's attention as Sadie's eyes become just glued to it as it gets closer, they find a parking space as a small crowd gathers, the trio get out with everyone's eyes going towards the mature skunk for a few moments which only earns a snicker from the mystic.

Magnum looks to everyone "I believe I won the challenge?" the grin on his face just pure gold.

Sadie nods "To be fair, I forgot you have a pretty good set up in your bay.", she looks to the mystic "Up for a race? It'll be our personal machines against each other."

Magnum accepts her challenge and within a few minutes the two cars are at the starting line, Vanessa and Farryn are joined by Vivian as she's eager to see how this will play out. Sadie tries to make out the engine in Magnum's machine, it's hard to tell exactly what it is, all she can make out is that it is a combustion engine of some description. The countdown begins, both machines rev to life as their engines roar, the countdown ends and the two cars are off, Sadie seeing instantly how much power Magnum has put into his car instantly as he quickly moves past her, Sadie finds in opening in the upcoming turn and she barely has enough time close the gap... before it was a fairly even race, now she's up against what is now a supercar!

Sadie really kicks her driving skills into high gear, she does her best to maneuver her car to at least stay with him, but it's extremely difficult, her machine is good but not perfect and while fast it's no match for Magnum's ride. Magnum on the other hand is just simply having a blast, his muzzle taken up by quite a powerful smirk as his eyes give a sharp gaze, he's lost in the power of the machine he is operating, the engines noise flooding his ears and he is taken into pure bliss, his heart beating to the motions of the falcon as he can feel his adrenaline skyrocket. While the sensation isn't the same as when he is adorned in power armor it is pretty close, his comfort in the machine has always been there after all.

The crowd watches the race unfold, the sight of Magnum's falcon is really beyond words in how it performs, from under one of the rat rods near the track, a shadow moves underneath it and shift from machine to machine, the mystic wolf suddenly feels this chill hit him, the shadow zips and launches itself, landing on top of Magnum's car which causes Sadie to quickly back off and the crowd becomes taken aback as they become stunned.

The mystic tries to shake the shadow off but it's latched on pretty good, he yanks on the e-brake and spins his car around hard, the momentum managing to launch the shadow off, Magnum quickly stops the car and leaves the machine, forming armor made of ice along with a shield and sword as his eyes give a glow. The shadow gives a vicious hiss as it opens it's maw, revealing elongated fangs as it's eyes are pure white with a faint glow, Magnum can sense something from this strange being... it feels practically empty but there's something lingering, something bestial yet sharp.

The mystic stands firm "I am High-Errant Magnum of the Iron Order! Identify yourself!"

The shadow snarls and zooms at him, Magnum charges it, the creature swipes at the air with it's claws which Magnum blocks with his shield and parries with his sword, he wants to use his beam attack but he decides to hold off to try to make out exactly what this being is. The shadow locks Magnum's shield and sword, it lunges his maw at him as it gives a hiss, the mystic quickly gets away, it's teeth just shy of hitting his neck, the canine spins around and bashes the abomination with his shield.

The crowd watches in amazement at the duel before them, Farryn and Vanessa want to jump in to try to reinforce him but they don't have any of their equipment to lend any assistance, though Magnum does have the threat locked down. The shadows digits create vicious claws as it releases a terrible scream, Magnum feels his sense get hit by this freezing sensation, his breath becoming visible as the shadow continues it's wail.

The wolf raises a brow as he glares at the being 'It's strange, it isn't projecting anything that it's alive... it almost feels like....'

The shadow zooms at him, the mystic gets behind his shield and charges as he gives a growl, just before the two meet Magnum swings his sword upward, cleaving the beings left arm completely off as the shield smashes into the beings chest, which throws the shadow away and it rolls onto the ground, it slowly gets up, it's gaze never breaking away from the mystic, Magnum gets ready to go on the offensive but the creature dissipates into black smoke before going away completely.

Magnum looks around, his eyes in an inquisitive glare as he studies the immediate area, he soon relinquishes his ice equipment, activating his comms "Elvo, I just encountered a strange creature, some kind of shadow."

The coyote looks over the data from the battle, including data from her brothers eyes to look at and examine the being "Affirmative, it isn't putting out any vital signs and these energy readings... seem to be distorted, but based on what has been observed it seems to be a summoned projection of some kind, no real sentience but fierce enough to be a threat."

"Either way, based on how it acted I would say it was a type of vampire or something along those lines." the blue-marked wolf bringing up a feed of the battle that just happened, his eyes going towards the creature as it shrieked "Elvo, can you trace it or find out more information?"

Farryn and Vanessa approach Magnum as everyone else looks on, Sadie's ears twitch as she listens to what the knight is saying, Elvo informs them that there is something that was emitting from the creature, it's faint but Elvo informs them that if given enough time she may be able to pinpoint the origin, though she is able to with the limited data isolate that there was a matching signature from somewhere in Europe.

The mystic puts on a thinking expression as he gives a soft nod "Put the entire continent under observation, especially those that have strong myths related to vampires and other such legends."

Elvo gives confirmation and Magnum soon ends the transmission... the mystic can't shake the feeling now he's being watched given how this has played out, his conquest of Terra can still play out, however he's unsure exactly how this turn of events will effect his plans.

Sadie moves over to the knights, taking glances at where the shadow once stood "Not exactly a friendly hello.", she crosses her arms as she looks to Magnum "Looks like we'll have to take a rain check on our race." with a witty grin.

The mystic gives a soft nod "Unfortunately yes, but we'll resume this once this gets sorted out." giving a faint grin towards the end.

The crowd watches as a dropship comes down, Magnum loads his vehicle onto it and the knights zoom towards the sky, Sadie feels a shiver run down her spine as she feels the air suddenly become colder, she can't place it but she feels very off suddenly, earning looks from her mom, Kyra and Amara. Eventually the knight return to the Howling Crusader with Magnum running numerous simulations and theories of what occurred at the race track, he's seen avatars like that before, while uncommon it's usually from a sorcerer or another source. The High-Errant is trying to factor in exactly if this will modify his plans to any extent... now that he has most of Europe under his sway and a few other nations have signed his pact he already has some footing without firing a single shot and by the time the rest of the world finds out it'll already be too late.

The trio reach the dreadnought and disembark from the transport, instantly coming face-to-face with a new machine, unlike the robust machines that are currently being deployed, this one is almost like a armored skeleton, the knee caps showing an 'M' as the joints quietly whir, the units eyes are matching Elvo's as it gives the knights a soft grin and it's frame displaying some subtle movement.

"Elvo?" the mystic taking a few steps forward as he curiously examines the machine in front of him.

The unit nods "Affirmative, the Hari autonomous unit is a success, this machine will prove useful as it can be used in the field by me to assist you along side my combat automata and other functions.", Elvo examines the units mechanical form "I am still working on a proper covering for this unit...:, she looks to her mystic brother "But this flexible face plate is a perfect stop gap over the skull."

Farryn and Vanessa look over the new platform that Elvo is using, the former taking a step closer "It is impressive, some fur and the like and no one would be the wiser.", she looks to her son "Though I am still unsure about full mass production."

"I understand your concerns mom, that's why we'll only produce a handful and go from there, given that the Hari units are to each be their own identity it is quite a risk but it is one worth taking. With the Hari and it's variant the Wendigo, we can build upon the autonomous systems we already have and while they will be less predictable we can have eyes and ears where none will expect." the blue-marked wolf giving his mom a glance.

Elvo informs them that a few more hari units have already been produced along with one wendigo, the question however is which a.i. would be appropriate for the units. Ultimately Magnum decides to play it safe by only activating the one wendigo and one hari, while the machines that make of the rank and file of his forces are fully autonomous forces with decent artficial intelligence, the a.i. for these two sister units are a lot more refined with personalities and traits, thus required to be more well thought out. The group eventually reach a room with some cores and some finished haries off to the right side and over to the left is the one wendigo, the latter instantly sending shivers down Vanessa and Farryn, the machine showing of it's robotic, canine skull, it's appearance is far more skeletal as it's empty eyes look straight at them and it's maw slightly open, the ends of it's fingers and toes having these sharp claws...

Vanessa approaches the wendigo, her purple eyes looking it over as she takes in it's appearance "You definitely have the terror aspect down, it's one of the creepiest things I have ever seen.", she turns to Magnum "But how do we make sure these things don't go rogue?"

Elvo folds her arms "I have already taken that into account, all the machines have a built-in black box that is reinforced by a program and algorithm, while the machines will have free will these safeguards will prevent them from turning against us." the flexible face giving a slight smirk.

Magnum looks to the stored a.i. units, his mind pondering which ones have the honor of being the first two to be used, these a.i. do have some experience when it comes to interaction via the interfaces, but they have never been put into any kind of stand alone unit, after weighing the options of the few a.i. units present he finally makes his choice. Magnum and Elvo decide to install Liva first, the pair get Liva installed into one of the hari machines with aid from various drones, all while Farryn and Vanessa look on with concern and curiosity. To help identify Liva they print the name on the chest plate and on the back towards the left side and they do the same thing for the chassis Elvo is using to avoid confusion, the pair eventually finish installing Liva into the machine and activate the units plasma reactor as they take a step back.

Some quiet hums sound from the machine, the eyes ignite as Liva's joints move, Magnum and Elvo look on with calm gazes as they maintain their posture, while Farryn and Vanessa look on as they simply stand more or less just behind the pair.

The mystic speaks up "Liva? How are you doing?" trying to form some line of communication.

Liva looks at the mystic before looking to everyone else and finally resting her eyes back on the High-Errant "I-I am fine.", she looks to her mechanical hands "This.... feels.... it's so strange....", she looks back to him "You and Elvo had been talking to me about something like this, I just wasn't sure.... how exactly this would play out."

Elvo moves a little closer to her "It'll take some time to get use to, but once you are well adjusted it won't feel off at all." giving a reassuring grin.

The newly activated hari looks to the wendigo "And... what of that? It doesn't look like the body I am using."

It's explained to Liva that the wendigo is for Revna.... it's also explained that Revna requested it specifically....

Liva watches Magnum and Elvo carefully install Revna into the other machine, tilting her head a little as she observes, Farryn and Vanessa study Liva from where they stand, seeing tha pure curiosity is certainly interesting. It isn't long before Revna is installed and activated, the canide skull moves around as the red eyes scan the room, eventually landing solely on Magnum, she examines herself like how Liva did before taking a couple steps forward. To be fair, Magnum isn't entirely sure how this will go given what Revna's previous function was... but he's more then willing to give it a shot, after all taking risks in terms of pushing technology was kind of his forte and modus operandi.

"Revna? How are you finding your new form?" the High-Errant looking Revna over as he examines the machines movement.

Revna scans the room "It's nothing like my previous form and with the improvements to my matrix, it all feels.... different, I can... feel the air... I don't know how to describe it..." her gaze moving towards her right hand as she examines it again.

The coyote looks right at her "It is different from when you were a kraken, you'll get use to the upgrades in no time."

The wendigo looks to Liva, tilting her head "Looks like we are first... I am Revna." her calm voice clashing with the skulls appearance.

Liva gives a soft nod "So it would seem."

Revna asks Magnum if there is another submarine he wants her to take down to which he dismisses, he informs the two new machines that they are to be brought up to speed on the current situation and that both will receive training and proper programing before being deployed... but that brings up another problem, the hari still doesn't have a proper covering to help with it's intended role, however once Revna is clear she can be deployed right away. Elvo also shows Magnum what she has so far of the process relating to the living tissue covering, the result is impressive but it isn't a sustainable one, the coyote is confident she can fix the problem within a small time frame.

Elvo also informs Magnum that with the high success rate of turning a good chunk of Terra to their cause they can now begin the second phase of the operation, the mystic gives the all clear for Elvo to hack into various military and government systems along with strikes against every major oil field across the globe. What really brightens Magnum's attitude is that the Iron Armada is near it's full completion along with it's full complement with automata forces... there's just one thing that needs to be filled in...

The coyote looks to him "In terms of organic components, we are still lacking given we haven't started on that front yet."

Magnum puts on a grin, he brings up a map of the United States "I already have an idea what to start, bring up every shelter for veterans in the United States."

Within moments the country lights up like a christmas tree with various blips, Magnum grin becoming bigger and bigger as his eyes beam in delight as he didn't strike gold but pure platinum, he had found his recruiting hubs. The mystic orders that a number of weapons, vehicles and various cybernetics be set aside, along with his power armor to be prepared for launch, he also wants his mom and Vanessa to join him after they get their uniforms on, along with requesting the other members of the order to join him on this venture.

The group of knights along with a handful of jagerritter automata zoom to the state of California, Elvo guides them to a large shelter for homeless veterans, a large building of brick as it fly's Old Glory atop a great pole, Magnum looks to the flag and gives it a respectful and passing salute with the others following his example.

The mystic looks straight ahead 'It's a shame that this nation has lost it's way... but at least I'll have the comfort that I'm the one who gets to put it down.'

The group enters the building with Magnum using his control over the air he opens the doors, they instantly earn everyone's attention as they move through, Magnum's gaze finds every veteran who formally served in the forces of the once glorious United States. Two automata set some boxes down that read "Sturmgewehr" on the side, Magnum looks over the crowd as many individuals gather with more of the mystics materials being brought in. The volunteers and workers blink as they became stricken with pure awe, the Errant's of the Iron Order look to the mystic, keeping a level head as they aren't sure how this will play out... but they know Magnum has already thought something up, ways to ensure he'll gain quite a foothold.

Magnum finally decides to speak up "I am Magnum, High-Errant of the Iron Order, you all know me as the one who helped lead the charge to save this world, the world known as Terra and Earth.", his blue gaze looks around the crowd "I am known as the Mystic Paladin, the Mystic Crusader, I look upon you and I see warriors who pledge their lives to service only to be discarded and forgotten about, I see bravery and prowess that has been shamefully dismissed!", he begins to walk around "This nation should be celebrating and tending you, not giving you nothing but scraps at best, this forsaken nation has in turn forsaken you. You bought into the propaganda and deemed serving it was the best choice and that your sacrifices were not in vain... only for your worst fear to come true that you have been forgotten about and rejected by those that you thought you can trust and ones that claimed they loved you.", he points to the flag nearby "A nation ruled by the weak, the superstitious, the old and feeble! The stupid, the moronic and the blind! Both sides of the isle are guilty!" the mystic looks around as he lowers his hand "The patriot created and built this nation, a nation that is dead and is nothing but a rotting corpse pretending that it is still very much alive under the greatness of the red, white and blue!"

Many in the gathered crowd cheer at the mystics words and giving applause, the other knights watch as Magnum simply takes in the room he is engaging with, Farryn simply gives a soft grin at her son, feeling proud for her young man.

Magnum finds a veteran who had lost his left arm and his right leg, a wolf who looks roughly around his own age, the mystic approaches him and kneels in front of him to get more on his level "What is your name sir? And your service?"

The canine looks to him "Roger Corn, I served in the Army, 54th Infantry Division."

The mystic glances to Sabrina and gives her a nod, the doe opens up the other crate, it's mechanical apparatus extending out, it takes a little convincing but Roger is put in place where the machine works it's magic, nanomachines are injected, creating artificial nerve pathways that interact with the veterans nervous system, soon mechanical limbs are attached to replace the limbs he had lost. Roger tests the limbs out and slowly stands up, feeling the cybernetics instantly as he and everyone else becomes amazed at the sheer technological display before them. Another vet comes up, asking if they could replace his lost eye, for another his tail, each one receiving a proper replacement with Sabrina overseeing the entire process as she has to make sure everything is calibrated and interacting properly.

Magnum looks around "This is but a taste of what I offer, I can deliver you a return to greatness, where your service will be recognized and more importantly a future will be gained!", he moves over to another unit, it turns into a platform which he steps into, it creates his black pilot suit followed by his actual power armor, complete with Excalibur on his hip, the mystic steps forward "I plan on crushing this world into oblivion and dust, to rebuild it into an image that I have planned, I offer you and the other service personnel who have been displaced a proper place in the world I plan I creating, my realm!"

The entire room is completely silent, the knights words echo throughout it as everyone weighs what they had just heard and witnessed... Farryn, Annabelle and Saraphina glance across the crowd, unsure exactly how this will play out while Saraphina and Vanessa simply stand firm, the automata standing ready in case they are needed.

As for the veterans, they had just heard quite an offer, one of the true sound of prosperity coming from someone who truly understands, the sheer power in the mystics voice as he informs them of his overall plan, his goal.... they can only imagine the kind of power and military he has to be openly declaring his actions.

Roger looks to his countrymen, they all look around, nodding to one another as they talk, the wolf looks to the mystic "What would you have us do sir?"

The mystic motions towards the crate of weapons "I want you to spread word across this nation, bring others into the fold, bring as many veterans suffering this fate and worse.", he looks across everyone in the room "You are the foundation of the organic forces of my army, of the Iron Covenant to come, you are already well trained with proper experience, you will be will armed and equipped with proper armor, vehicles, equipment and weapons. When the time comes you will rise up and help me conquer this zombie nation!"

The veterans begin to cheer, Roger weighs exactly what is going on, he and everyone knows Magnum has way more then enough already to crush Terra and bring it into the fold regardless of what happens. He reflects back on how he like many others joined up, how they became the sword of the United States military only to be swept under the rug and forgotten about, how some of his friends made the ultimate sacrifice in their service and many gave up afterwords... he and the rest of the forgotten ranks have so much built up vengeance, this offer is their chance to show their fury, to have their moment of revenge. He is unsure if those that managed to return to their lives will join them or not, but he hopes they do, for the stigma against them is unwarranted, they sacrificed so much and were spat on, now with this kind of aid... it was time for revolution and incursion... that no one loves a soldier until the enemy is at their doorstep...

Roger kneels, he raises his bionic arm into the air towards the mystic paladin as he lowers his head "All hail Magnum!" pledging his service to the knight.

Magnum looks to Roger as the room begins to kneel, begins to salute and so on, chanting into the air as they gaze upon him "All hail Magnum! All hail Magnum! All hail Magnum!" in a crescendo of declaration of their newfound allegiance.

The mystic knight grins as he pulls out his magical sword, he raises it into the air as he takes a step forward, blocking the stars and stripes with his shield as he gives a pose, all the while Farryn prepares the flag of the Order, one without mystic text and with help from Vanessa puts it on full display. All Magnum can do is smile in glee at the crowd triumphantly, for now he has sown the seeds of revolution and the roots will spread quickly.

Annabelle opens the crate of assault rifles and pulls one out, the weapon is a more up to date version of the venerable stg44, it's the same caliber but is a more modern design with polymers and alloys. Saraphina continues to provide aid and implants for those who want them all while the other knights take in the reaction and how this entire situation went. As for Magnum, he glances to Old Glory, he hates he had to turn it into sacrificial lamb he really does, but it is a necessity if Magnum's plans are to come true... besides rebuilding it wold be to costly and wouldn't even be close to be worth it.

With the meeting having gone exceptionally well, soon arrangements are made to bring down armored vehicles and proper supplies, when it comes to Magnum's plan it is all falling near perfectly into place, despite the unknown that has crept in he still plans on continuing the operation and his conquest, he wants to see Terra crushed and brought to heel no matter what...

...........................

Sadie is working on a sawn-off shotgun, cleaning the double barrel as she had just ran a few shells through it, something she does on a near weekly basis, the wolfess brings the open shotgun up to her eye level, smiling as she looks inside and sees she's done a proper job in maintaining her weapon of choice, she loads the weapon with a set of buckshot shells, and closes the breech action with a successful click, she puts the shotgun on the table in front of her where her m9 pistol is also resting.

The wolfess gives a tired sigh, it has been quite a day, between the race and watching the fight Magnum had gotten caught in, the Hell's Greasers partied after he left with everyone talking about the fight he and that shadow had... but there was also talk if Earth is being invaded again and Magnum is here to protect them once more...

Sadie rubs her forehead as she readies a cigarette as she begins to really think about the situation, she didn't get the chance to ask why the mystic is really here, though she does feel it isn't for a vacation or to simply visit the world he was born on.

Sadie opens a nearby window, she aims a fan towards it and lights her smoke up, she gives a quick puff, her mind trailing between the mystic and the Metal Grizzlies... as ever since the knights presence became known they have stopped almost entirely, which has also caught the attention of the Hell's Greaser's. It seems Magnum's presence has simply effected everything, wars across the globe are slowly stopping or seem to be finally reaching some form of conclusion, battlefields have been cropping up in numerous regions with only really the remains of one side being found and practically none when it comes to the other. In addition to this, many religious figures across the globe have been assassinated along with religious centers in general being completely eradicated... her gaze goes towards the night sky.... if Magnum is conquering this world... it's something long over due....

The wolfess in a way thinks it's poetic justice, she also thinks it was simply inevitable given recent events and that space isn't so dead after all, that of it wasn't going to be Magnum it would be some other power there. Sadie is no stranger to such observations, she has witnesses at almost every turn just how hypocritical this worlds "order" is, order that is bribed, bought and sold and anything else is called chaotic, she's also seen how dangerous chaos can be in purest form but how beneficial it can actually be as well.

Out of the corner of her eye, Sadie sees something moving in the darkness, she takes a quick puff as she readies her shotgun, she aims out of the window as she keeps giving some small puffs, her eyes narrowing and giving a glare as she scans the area. Her gaze eventually finds a pair of glowing red orbs in the darkness, she tightens her fingers on the triggers as this cold wave hits her. For a few moments the creatures full appearance of it is shown, it's wearing a dark green cloak with greenish skin all the while this purple energy radiates around it.

The wolfess freezes as she starts to shake a little, she cries out to the being "Leave me alone! What do you want from me?!"

The creature simply stares are her, before it turns around and disappears as it slowly walks away, Sadie stands there for a moment or two as she gets a hold of herself, she slowly lowers her shotgun as she finishes her smoke, she closes the window and locks it down, she lays down on the couch with her weapon next to her, her gaze goes up to the ceiling, she takes a breath as she tries to relax. She does end up falling asleep but a couple hours later she wakes up as she feels her stomach rumble, she gets up and sets a quick meal in the microwave before opening her front door and steeping out for another smoke, her gaze goes up towards the night sky as so many questions hang in the air. Something catches her sight instantly, she sees something traveling through the night sky, it looks like a shooting star but it seems to be moving slow compared to one....

Sadie lowers her smoke as she really gazes at it, she gently grips her pendant as she closes her eyes, some tears form in her eyes as she looks back up at the night sky "Magnum... can you help me? You are a knight after all...", she clears her tears as she gives a gentle sigh 'Who am I kidding? I doubt he'll hear me out.'

.............................

Up in the void, the Magnum is zooming around with the use of his power armor, Magnum's gaze going towards Terra as his eyes teem with mystical energy and signs of his cybernetics, the mystic zooms around and unfurls his wings as he stops. The knight looks down at the planet of green and blue, taking in the sight as he next target slowly comes into view, with elements of his forces having already made planet fall all they need is the order to move in.

Soon two power armor join him, both of them mostly white with pink and purple coloration, one of them baring a shield that has a red heart on it with two beam cannons and a pink 'F' while the other bare a shield with a purple 'V' with plasma swords on it's hips and holding a pink buster rifle.

Magnum glances to the pair "Mom and Vanessa, how are the power armors functioning?" with a hidden grin.

Farryn to him before she looks to her beam shield "It's amazing, I don't feel weighed down at all!"

Vanessa looks her suit over "It feels incredible, I never thought I would experience something as impressive as this."

"Just take it a little easy, plus always remember while the equipment is remarkable and powerful it falls to you and how you use it."

Magnum quickly begins to look over the few revisions and improvements he has made thus far, he's effective recreated the mg34 and mg42 with the switching out of the 7.62 and replacing it with the 7.92x57 with even switching out the cartridge the spitfire minigun was using for the same round alongside the introduction of his revision of the venerable stg44, now with his mother and Vanessa in their power armors, every knight in the order is now properly equipped.

Farryn and Vanessa look to him, waiting for the word to mobilize and engauge as seconds tick by, several oil fields around the globe are the targets and by nights end they'll become raging fires, along with another objective altogether.

The High-Errant speaks up "All units, prepare for Operation: Smokescreen!" seeing the opening he's been waiting for "My forces will eliminate the oil reserves of Venezuela, this is purely a raid mission. Elvo, what is the statues of the targets defenses?"

Elvo's voice comes through "They are blind, Brazilian and Argentinian forces are ready to stand with us should we need them."

Annabelle's voice is the next to sound "Sabrina, Saraphina, Bensen and I are in position with our forces to deal with the Oil reserves in Saudi Arabia, their communications and other electronics are being disrupted, they are blind and helpless."

The mystic responds to the mare "Remember, don't focus on purging, the objective on your end is to just destroy the oil, eliminate any forces that stand in your way and eliminate any witnesses."

Magnum begins to charge his buster shield as he aims towards the planet, ready to deliver a vicious strike indeed, he also begins to charge his mouth beam into order to add another arc to his attack, once he gets his attacks charged he fires both, on either side of Venezuela's oil fields the two hit and he brings the two death rays together, the displays obliterating all it hits, Magnum gives the order and operation is underway, he zooms through the atmosphere with Farryn and Vanessa close behind him, assisting the mystic in eliminating the targets and even some strong points that were protecting the belt... there is no going back now...

.................................

Somewhere in Europe a dark castle stands, it's gothic structuring a masterpiece of the medieval era, a fortress of stone and stained glass. The creature that was at Sadie's residence looms about, it's gaze not finding anything particular, only looking straight ahead. Standing in various positions are various armored beings, creatures of bone and twisted flesh, some of them hissing in conversation while many remain silent, their weapons of ancient steel and wood. The being reaches a massive throne room, various shadowy figure dance around as green and blue orbs dance around, two male wolves stand near the throne, their attire mostly being black but with crimson red interior, both of them having black and white coats with the older one having white hair and the younger one black as they bare gold and ice blue eyes respectively.

The green figure kneels before them "Master Dracula and Count Alucard, I have returned from my mission."

The older wolf steps forward "Well done Orlok, I trust the mystic was at the race track?"

"He was my lord, he destroyed the projection and he has been put on alert by the attack." Orlok sounds as he looks to the pair.

Alucard folds his arms as he looks to the older wolf "Father, this wolf does put our plans in jeopardy, but perhaps he could be made an ally?"

"Perhaps.." Dracula rubs his chin for a few moments "I want you and Orlok to take charge of our operations in the area. Be aware however, Magnum will sense you both from the start if you get close enough, so try to keep your distance if you can.", he looks to Orlock "Also, how is Madam Octane fairing?"

To be continued...
