What is this you ask? A EX chapter which tells the previous chapter from another perspective, i didn't have time to put the L.G.D team in the previous chapter so they will be here, there might be more in the future, these side chapters will be a bit short than usual, see you at the next chapter.

[POV - L.G.D Senior Agent "Voltaic"]
It's been some time after we landed and Seer left to gather intel on the black smoke, currently Circuit and the Recruit are currently assembling a Unmanned Deep Recon Ground Drone, or UDRGD for short, i'm currently checking in with Headquarters to update them on our status while the Pilot in the cockpit dozes off to sleep.

Suddenly i recieved a transmission from Seer who is trying to reach us, i picked up the call.

Seer [Agent 2]:"This is Seer to Voltaic, do you copy?"

"I read, what's the status, over?"

Seer:"Your not gonna believe what i'm gonna say, but, i think we just stumbled upon a cult group and..."

I heard Seer gulping before relaying the rest of the information.

Seer:"These... Cultists massacred an entire village and built a Altar in the center, the source of the smoke is from a still-burning bonfire and i can't tell what they used to make it but dear Lord of Yen if they used the bodies i will fucking projectile puke, eugh... No identifying marks to prove these are Reunion Forces..."

"...do not engage unless necessary, and continue to recon the area."

I felt my heart sink after hearing what Seer said, a entire village massacred...?!

Seer:"Sir! I see a single individual rushing through the village gate, they're holding a pistol and firing at the Cultists, permission to assist and engage?"

"Permission granted, let those bastards feel death, we're gonna head out and rendevouz with you, Voltaic out!"

I pocketed the comms transceiver, quickly gathered my gear and exited the Aircraft which surprised both the Recruit and Circuit.

Circuit:"Whats wrong sir?"

"Scratch the Ground Drone, we need to get to Seer cause he and some unknown person are engaging against some fucking Cultists! Let another team handle the retrieval of our missing aerial drones we've got no time to waste!"

Both Circuit and the Recruit stopped assembling the Ground Drone which was nearly complete and gathered their gear and weapons, we then moved through the forest as fast speeds to quickly catch up to Seer, i'll just hope he can stay out of harms way knowing his skill in CQC is bad, but atleast he makes up for it with his marksman skills.

I woke up from my short nap to find that everyone just up and left, litterally not notifying me before leaving, oh well, guess no more people to disturb my well-deserved nap.

SNORING INTENSIFIES

Terran Calendar - 08/29/1098]
[Time - 9:01 AM]
[POV - L.G.D Ranger "Seer"]

There were around 25 Cultists against this guy, for all i know he can't stand a chance so the most logical thing i can do after being granted permission to fire is just shoot bolts at the crossbowers at the back, there were 5 of them from what i can see, i was at a sizable distance away from the village so they won't detect what hit'em, i load a bolt onto my High-Pressure Slinger, the name sounds ridiculous but it gets the job done, i then pulled the trigger.

PSHEEEW-
(i tried to imitate what a crossbow sounds when firing ok)

The bolt hits one of the crossbowers in the head, the area where the bolt hit vaporizes the head and leaves a bloody mist of guts and meat, the other crossbowers were probably shooked to the core as i load another bolt in, ready to fire again as i aim at 3 conveniently lined up crossbowers and fired another bolt.

Ouh, that crap must've been brutal as hell cause i just saw a larger bloody mist and meat flying, along with screaming that i hear even from this distance, so much for the "No live bullets" law, these bolts are meatgrinders!

My radio cackles to life while i was gloating over the bodies i just made.

Voltaic:"Change of plans, Seer, we'll be rushing towards the village, check your fire and mark targets!"

"Understoond, Target A are hostile Cultists, Target B is the individual fighting the cultists."

Speaking about the guy, wait a second...
Oh shit!

I quickly turned to where the guy to see them about to get his head plummeted by a hammer wielding cultist, i tried to load another bolt in but it seems i don't have to do that anymore, someone else wearing a ragged cloak stabbed the hammer cultist and brushed them aside, while picking up the guy and handing back their gun.

"New report! Another individual joined the fight, identifying marks are a ragged cloak and a shortsword, marking as Target C!"

I yelled onto my radio as i loaded another bolt onto my weapon and aimed at the last crossbower and fired, good thing i fired quickly because the cloaked person was about to stab the crossbower.

After that ordeal i scanned the village for any hostiles, no hostiles in sight so i relayed the information back to Voltaic.

Voltaic:"Copy, rendevouz with us here and lets go get those other targets."

I got up from my position and made a quick dash towards my team, Voltaic did a headcount to ensure all team members are present before moving up, good thing i was wearing a gas mask because Circuit was complaining about the stench of 2 day old flesh and blood, we reach both Target B and C after a few seconds of running, the Recruit was first to speak up.

Recruit:"Drop your weapons!"

The Recruit yelled as Target C turned around and flinched from our presence alone.

Recruit:"Last warning! Drop your weapons!"

Both Targets complied as they drop their weapons onto the bloodstained ground, Voltaic orders Circuit and Recruit to arrest  and put bags over the Targets to interrogate them about this mess once they get back to HQ, i was disgusted by their clothes cause they're stained from head to toe, fortunately Voltaic noticed this and said

Voltaic:"Oh, damn they're bloody as hell, escort them to the showers first when you arrive back to headquarters."

Circuit:"Yes sir."

Circuit then knocks out both the Targets and began moving them back to the Aircraft, the pilot sure did miss alot of this but knowing the pilot has a weak stomach for seeing guts and blood all over the place, i think he'll have a field day with his puke.

Voltaic:"Alright Seer, we'll be investigating this village for a while and retrieve items of interest, you start with that Altar over there while i inspect the bonfire."

"Understood."
Thank the Lord of Yen i don't have to check around the bonfire, i don't even wanna know what they used, thoughts aside, let's begin checking this forsaken place.
