Chapter 4:

Blood Cult - Part 2

The Broken World (Cancelled)


After the cult and Python's Fang met at the oasis they went north. Meanwhile Crow is tailing them from a far while keeping an eye on the tracer location on his tablet. After tailing them for almost a day the tracer stopped moving, seeing this Crow quickly went closer but still at a safe distance where they shouldn't notice him and spying on them with his scope.

They stopped by an abandoned facility, parked their car outside and went inside. The facility had no windows so Crow couldn't spy at them without risking them noticing him, so he decided to stay outside while monitoring the guard's movements. After a while they went out with more people, but the extra people that went out had ragged clothes and looked unwell.

After this the group separates. and the cult loaded the people onto their cars.

"Human Trafficking, they're still doing it even after their leader died. I thought it would stop them. I guess I'm wrong..." Crow muttered to himself. Crow then folded back his rifle and continued to tail the cult's group.

A couple of hours later. They stopped in front of a heavily guarded cave with a makeshift gate blocking its entrance. Greeting them were two guards wearing the same red robe, but they were armed with more dangerous firearms then the group Crow was following.

After some exchange they all went in leaving only the guards up front. "Getting in there will be harder than finding them, with guards all over the gate... I will check again when night falls."

Later that night, the gate is still guarded though there are less people than when it's day. There are two large spotlights that keep watch with two people each, one moving the spotlight and the other armed with a rifle and some kind of goggles.

"Still tight... but with this suit maybe I can. I can also try to kill all four at once but it's impossible with only me, try digging? no the sound will alert them." Crow thought of multiple ways he could get in, from sneaking in to breaking in. "If I use explosives it might alert the other cult members and since I don't know their number. what about breaking through the gate with the car... no I don't know how narrow the cave is and maybe the car couldn't even break the gate."

"I will watch them for a couple of days, maybe I can figure out how then."

The next day Crow kept an eye on them trying to find any loopholes in their defense, all day he spent watching with his scope, with occasional rest, and finally night fell once again.

"Looks like night is the best time to take action." Crow then proceeded to drive his car behind a large rock "Now how should I go in... I can try and climb the gate but the rattling will make too much noise and this suit's camouflage isn't perfect. I can also try to Climb at the cave's ceiling..." Crow thought of ways to enter the cave without arousing suspicion. "I'm here to annihilate the cult so couldn't I just bury them in the cave alive?" Crow looks in his car for explosives. "I should have some, where did I put it?"

Crow kept searching in his cars for the explosive but couldn't find it. "Nothing strong enough... It could have been much easier if I had stronger ones... should I just explode the car? it could bring down the cave if I did. No, if I do that I can't return now can I."

"Too bad, well I will just climb up the ceiling and try to find explosives in their base, if I find none then... I guess I have to kill them all myself."

"Now what can I bring inside? I can't bring my rifle since it will look like a rifle floating in the air if I do. then something that could fit inside the suit. the plasma pistols in the suit could be of use, I should check its spec." Crow tapped his thighs revealing a pistol hiding in the bulge next to his thighs.

Crow took the pistol and fired some shots at some nearby stones. "So it's accurate like other plasma weapons, and the effective range is just a bit over normal pistols, guess I should have expected too much from it. with the power core in the pistol it should be able to fire about a hundred or two hundred shots. and since I have two it should be enough but." Crow pointed the pistol at his arm and fired. "As expected, just some heat, its penetrative power is lacking. I need something that can pierce through exo-suits." Crow tried to find anything that could penetrate through that he had in the car.

"A heat knife... It works" Crow took the blade and placed it in one of the storage spaces on the suit that could fit the knife. "There is still some space in the suit, I will just fill it with explosives and flashes. It could be helpful." Crow filled his suit with a grenade and utility to the point it was packed tightly.

"Since the sun is rising I will wait until night falls once again."
