Lightning flinched a bit when Mithias got close to her, she quickly grabbed the silver cruicfix from her jacket and shoved it directly into Mithias's face. Sure, It wouldn't kill him, but it would temporarily blind him giving them a advantage. She hopped backwards a bit and took defensive aim with her weapon, thankfully the functioning gun half of her weapon was still intact, only much less range. "Lower the blade...you don't understand what you are doing..."Lightning told him in the verge of crying, she truly underestimated Magnus's power, but nonetheless she didn't care the only thing that mattered was he stayed alive so her family did. Aiming her gun with one hand and grabbing the radio communicator on the left side of her jacket with the other she began speaking into it, she knew the vampires wouldn't put the fire out in time, she had to take matters into her own hands. "This is Lightning of 1st Squadron Kilo Point, I saw a huge fire in the forest so I decided to investigate. Nothing more than a few rogue vampires burning bodies that got out of hand in this dry weather, please disregard situation is taken care of. I repeat, disregard." Hopefully they would buy the story giving her more time... Magnus grinned, both at Lightning and Mithias, this boy was merely toying with him. 

Neither having shown their full strength yet, Magnus could sense it, Mithias didn't know it. Then there was Lightning, the ever faithful SOLDIER pet, what she didn't fully realize was that he had no intentions of ever setting her family free. "Now now, that's no way to treat a woman Mithias, no matter the circumstance." He said with a chuckle." I wonder, on something entirely different, what might those blades of yours be made of? Hmm? Titanium, Steel, Iron?" One of the main keypoints of his plan was knowing the material Mithias's blades were made out of. If it was made of anything less than tungsten steel, which is what his claws were made of, he could severely weaken the material eventually shattering it. Of course, so long as he didn't overdo it and break his own weapons.
