A man lay on the ground beneath Magnus's feet, writhing and screaming in terror "You have two options." Magnus told him. "One, which will benefit us both, is to tell me who sent you and where they are and I will inject you with the cure and you can join us and keep your life intact. Two, My..friend here blows your head clean off it's shoulders. So, What will it be?" He finished with a half grin, bearing long jagged fangs. "Never! We will destroy you and all of your kind!" The man replied. "So be it." Magnus told him with a growl and nodded to Rhyss who in turn pulled the trigger. Magnus sighed as he placed the phial back in his coat and stood up. "Damn these SOLDIER and their loyalists, can't they see their efforts are in vain? Why won't they just stand still and allow us to destroy them?" He told Rhyss. "Dispose of the body, it gives off a rather unpleasant smell as it ages." Magnus told the two vampires standing near the doorway of the interrogation room Magnus had instructed in his castle of sorts.

During the 20 years since the utter annihilation of Kilo Point Magnus had completely re-built it, humans living amongst vampires in peace, only the occasional dissapearance. Or, so everyone assumed to begin with. Eventually Magnus en-acted martial law across the entire US, the slightest thing a human did wrong they would mysteriously dissapear to somewhere no human would ever want to be. He had also ordered the construction of a sprawling heavily fortfied base where the crater from where the Terebitha had destroyed his old cave and leveled a good portion of the area. 

Recently Magnus has also began eliminating SOLDIER from the outlaying countries that SOLDIER had any influence in, any connection to, or otherwise conspired with. But, unfortunately, there were a few dozen outposts of SOLDIER still scattered across the US in secret. But, everyday Magnus was getting closer to destroying them all. He could only imagine his goals accomplished as he strode through the door and through the halls to his living room to it down in a armchair at a table that held a bottle of wine, a wineglass half full, and a book he had been reading.

Now, one might say Magnus had grown soft over the years, but that was simply not the case. He still trained, he still killed, he still hunted. He was simply far to important for grunt work, afterall, why do what your army can do for you? No, he handled interrogations and breaches. "Rhyss, take a squadron of men to scout the area on the otherside of these mountains, I have a feeling that is the direction the scout came from." Rhyss simply grunted in agreement and left the room, headed for the barracks. Shortly he reached the door, and opened it. "I need twenty of the finest fighters to gear up and follow me, Magnus believes he has a lead on one of the SOLDIER camps and we are going to check it out. We leave in 10 minutes so get ready." Rhyss said and without waiting for a answer left the room.

He stepped outside and walked to his personal jeep outback and lit a cigar while he waited. Rhyss grinned, he had his own agenda, as soon as the entirety of SOLDIER was more or less wiped out he would either kill Magnus, or capture him to do his bidding.

"Any news back from that scout we sent?" Matt said from his seat in a wooden chair at a old table he was using as a desk. "No sir, not yet. We believe him to be dead or captured, or possibly both." The man replied. Matt was a leader of just one of the dozen or so SOLDIER outposts remaining, and due to the fact that Magnus was out to kill them all they had to move constantly. "Troubling news indeed..you don't suppose he told them where we were, do you?" Matt asked. "No, Highly unlikely. Our men would sooner die than give up our location" he replied. "Nonetheless, we should be prepared for anything. Make sure everyone is at alert, we can't afford to lose if their is a fight." Matt replied. Currently, they were located in a abandoned building near Kilo Point in a town ravaged by the war. Matt feared it was only a matter of time before they would be found out.
