From the sands of the Middle East rises a new threat. The Forgotten King has allied with the ghoulish alchemist Levitican Serpieri, The Red Reaper and unleashes an army of skeletal warriors upon the world. General Brown classifies this as a “Dark Directive” - a separate, but significant threat - and keeps the operation secret, assigning it to his former teammate: Major Stryker. As the Bone Army advances, the Forgotten King manifests in spectral form, commanding legions of ghostly skeletons. But Dracula refuses to be outmatched, summoning spirits of his greatest warriors, reborn as blood-forged skeletons made from his own vampire blood! It is a battle of the Necromancers in Operation: Monster Force’s first Dark Directive! Within the ranks of the Forgotten King, we have begun to notice a new type of soldier: glowing blue skeletons. We have given the code name: “The Azure Guard.” Unlike the Apophis Legion, these are not zombies. They seem to be only partially tangible, and only at certain times. Mr. Legacy suspects that they are astral projections - much like the blue specter of the Forgotten King that we sometimes witness before a battle. As to who these skeletons once were, or where their bodies are physically located remains a mystery. Some seem to be armed with modern weapons, while others carry swords and shields, adding to their mystery. The damage from these weapons seems to be both physical and spiritual. Declan Van Helsing was shot several times by one and felt pain but had no wounds to speak of. On the other hand, Dracula and Delta Red have complained of taking damage to their vampire spirits - wounds that take time to heal and can incapacitate them on the battlefield. Mr. Legacy suspects that an exorcist might be of value in dealing with the Azure Guard, but we have yet to find one capable of surviving a battle with the Forgotten King’s Forces to get close enough.
