The story so far...
The Forgotten King has returned! A sorcerer pharaoh whose reign was so vile his name was erased from Egyptian history - rises to pursue a sinister agenda, gathering mystical artifacts from around the world for some unknown purpose. Every soldier sent to stop him is killed and re-animated into an undead zombie that is under the Forgotten King's command.
Worried the Forgotten King’s reign of terror cannot be stopped, the Pentagon - under the direction of General Brown - enlists the help of monster hunter Declan Van Helsing.
Seeing no other option, Declan goes against the Van Helsing family’s wishes and opens Tomb 13, freeing the world's most powerful vampire: Count Dracula. Declan’s rationale - it may take a monster to bring down a monster.
And so, OPERATION: MONSTER FORCE is formed! Under Dracula’s direction, a unique vampire strike unit is created, called “Delta Red,” whose undead condition makes them immune to the Forgotten King’s powers.
It’s a race against time for Dracula and Van Helsing to discover the Forgotten King’s hidden lair and destroy him before his mysterious plan reaches completion.
Additional Details
Declan Van Helsing had a lot to live up to. The Van Helsings were known in the shadow world for having vanquished the most dangerous vampires in the world. But for Declan, those were only stories.
Trained as a vampire hunter, he has never had to battle anything worse than the occasional newblood in a back alley. He rose through the army rangers, seeing combat in numerous conflicts in clandestine warzones, and when his tour was over, he was recruited by the C.I.A. It was while he was operating out of Egypt that the troubles began. He saw with his own eyes the destruction of the undead soldiers of the Forgotten King.
When the Apophis Legion began appearing in other parts of the world, collecting strange relics by cover of night, Washington became desperate. It was Declan who suggested unlocking one particular vault of the Van Helsing Tomb, and releasing a monster to fight a monster. With the full support of Washington, but against the vehement opposition of his family, Declan is now responsible for handling the one who slept in Vault 13…Dracula.
From the depths of the Egyptian sands has risen a monster of incredible power. There is little doubt that he once ruled Egypt in the darkest corners of man’s past. But his name does not appear on the “List of Kings”, suggesting that his reign was so brutal, so sacrilegious, that his name was forever stricken from history.
Why he has risen now is yet another mystery, but he has wasted no time in resurrecting a small army. He regularly adds to his ranks, re-animating the same soldiers sent to kill him. He is capable of moving without a trace, somehow appearing in different places around the world. His Apophis Legion is usually in tow, and his targets are always ancient relics, collected for some unknown purpose. Museums, churches, desolate ruins, city centers, his forces appear in a whirlwind of sand, and kill any who stand in his path.
Our only hope at this point is that Dracula can defeat him before his collection is completed, and his sinister endgame is put in motion.
“Delta Red” is the code name for a secret military unit tasked with battling the Apophis Legion. When it became clear that sending living operatives to battle the Forgotten King only resulted in filling the ranks of his undead army, a different tactic was needed.
Agent Declan Van Helsing proposed the creation of a new kind of soldier – one that was already undead, and not capable of being controlled by the enemy. He extracted blood from one of the master vampires in the Van Helsing Tomb, and it was administered to volunteers from American Delta Forces. The blood has successfully given the soldiers vampiric abilities, most importantly, however, it has made them immune to the call of the Forgotten King, and keeps them from becoming part of his Apophis Legion.
Agent Van Helsing chose the blood of a Master Vampire who is still sealed away in the Van Helsing Tomb. Because of that, Dracula cannot exercise psychic control over the members of Delta Red.
The process of vampirization can be reversed, changing the members of Delta Red back to their original living, breathing selves, as long as their tour does not exceed 13 full moons.
The Sleepwalkers are Dr Caligari’s personal army, and now operate at the behest of the Forgotten King.
Each soldier is equipped with a respirator which pumps a regulated supply of Dr. Caligari's “Xeiss Sleeping Agent" , keeping them in a somnambulistic state. They are still alive, but In essence, they are walking and fighting in a dream state. As long as his soldiers are breathing it, they feel no pain and follow his orders without question.
In addition, the Xeiss Gas powers the Sleepwalkers’ ballistic armament - an arsenal of specialized beam weapons. Monster Force strategist, Mr Legacy, suspects the Xeiss Gas has some sort of electricity altering properties, originally designed for changing the electrical patterns of the brain, then weaponized for the battlefield.
