Jackshot Marshall chimes in, " Not all is sour, Ben was my friend too, but it would seem we have allies in every corner. We were notified that a vampire horde was using the old lava tunnels that stretch beneath the city. We rallied what allies we could and went underground to contront them. We found ourselves at a precipice with hot lava between us and the horde. It was then I knew we would be giving our lives... The horde was immense, over 10,000 strong. They were lead by Soldad, who from what I hear one of the first vampire lords to count earth home." Jackshot takes a drink, " Thats when we saw them, stepping from the shadows, weilding sunlight, strength unknown, and commanding lava golems that dwelt in the below river. Such luck, skill, and fury I had never seen. For a moment I thought Soldad and his commanders had them beaten, but its was if the Resolute had just lulled them into a sense of false security. They held a crumbling bridge against insurmountable odds. The horde, all thousands of them, never made it accross the gap, our silvered weapons did not even get drawn. Soldad, I think will no longer be troubling anyone." Jackshot raises his own eyes at the incredable story he just related, "They were steadfast, they were the resolute!"
Diamond Clad seems to draw strength from the tale, and nods his head aggreeing, " Yes quite a large army is gathering outside Gloom, from all walks of life and all parts of North America. Groups that would normally be at each other throats, are now allied in this struggle against Geist. Ironic, that in her madness she may make the world a better place." . Diamond leans in and asks, " Tell me, of those of you on the Assult team how did you fair, my... daughter did she make it? Those that vanished I saw the hell pillars in the Pinnacle, what happened with Cade and where were you taken?"
