Slasher leaps and slams his wrist blade into the ground, sending a shock wave around him, knocking them all from their feet. He growls and clicks to them. Telling them to stop moving. They can't understand Yautja language, but they can feel it. They can feel meanings, and Jack can feel that this one is unlike the others. A good one, Jack gets to his feet. Slasher clicks and growls at him. He presses against his wrist. The loop plays. "We need to trust each other. It's the only way to get out of this. We need to work together."

Jack nods his head in agreement, he turns to the others and tells them "Slasher is with us. We need to trust him, if we trust him. Maybe he'll trust us." Slasher moves close to Jack, standing nearly right behind him. If Slasher joins them they might have a chance against Bloodshed. If not, it could be the end of the world. Slasher's mask shining in the light. The loop continues "Do you trust me." Jack nods to Slasher. A males voice from the loop "Thank you." Slasher is stabbed in the arm, he grabs at the combistick. He's pushed down.

Voodoo came back, Slasher stands, Voodoo swings at him. Slasher rises his hand, waiting for the moment. Just seconds before Voodoo's arm hits him, Slasher's wrist blade extends. Cutting Voodoo's arm off. Voodoo looks at his arm in surprise. Slasher puts a foot on Voodoo's chest, and pushes him down. Slasher watches as Voodoo's chest stops moving. He's gone. Jack grabs his gun and aims it Voodoo, finish it to keep it from coming back. Slasher stops him, his wrist blade back. He puts his hand Infront of the gun. Why. Slasher stopped Jack from shooting Voodoo, a Yautja he hated.

Jack looks to Slasher in confusion, Slasher looks at Voodoo and looks back. He may be an enemy, but he's part of his clan. He needs to protect him, if anybody knew this about Slasher. Bloodshed would kill him. One of the members, a mercenary they called Tiger, stepped forward. "You can be serious, we can't trust a Yautja, and even if we did. Not this one!" Slasher looked down at Tiger, his mask making a steely glare. Tiger looked back at Slasher, the moment tense. Tiger's face changes from anger, to fear. He steps back, and doesn't say another word.

Jack turns to Tiger, "Do you really think we'll survive without him. Our chances of survival are zero, so you pick a side." Tiger stares at him in fear. The way Jack raised his voice, anger, and demanding. A voice like Ghost, but calmer, and less stubborn. Tiger lowers his head in submission. Slasher turns to look back at Jack, his steely gaze staring down at Jack. Jack looks up at the sky, a large ship. Hardly visible from so far, the ship. Slasher's gang is coming down. They're coming down after them. To kill, to kill the world, and Slasher.






The ship going down, it's left the exosphere. Moving through the thermosphere. They'll be down eventually. They'll kill the humans. Bloodshed slams his fist down, the hunters failed. Slasher a traitor. He can see them, he sees them all. Brute failed, taken down by Voodoo. Voodoo's arm cut off by Slasher. Slasher still standing, bleeding, but standing. He betrayed them, and he will die for that. No mercy, he'll beat him to death he'll beat him until he can't even stand! It'll teach Slasher a lesson, one he'll never forget. One, that'll be the last thing, he'll ever learn in life.

A traitor... One that makes me sick. Slasher, I took him in. Taught him, we made the clan, and he does this. Joins the humans, the ones I'll kill. Ghost had hurt me, and I'm going to hurt them. Hurt them so badly, they won't even be able to stand when he's done. They'll drop dead, the ship is landing soon. I'll going to kill Slasher, and when I'm done. I'll kill the humans. Little roaches. Every time I kill them, they always come back. In higher numbers, and bigger guns. This time, I'll make sure none of them survive. None!

The ship going lower, Bloodshed starts to tap his fingers on his chair, the pilot seat. They've been hunted by the enforcers, but they always come out on top. No matter how many come at them, they always win. Because of Bloodshed, and if they come again. Bloodshed won't be on either side. He'll kill both sides, he'll stand in the middle of what was once a battle ground. The blood and bodies around his feet. He'll be the strongest Yautja to ever live. Those are fantasies though. They won't happen anytime soon, the enforcers are still looking for them.





Jack watching as the ship comes closer. The end is near. They need weapons, bigger weapons. Slasher won't be enough, the entire clan is coming. Jack and the team will need to fight together, fight as one. Together, and forever. They start to move, walking through the jungle. Up a hill, they stop. A cliff. Jack looks over it, a temple like structure. A gateway keeping them out, or keeping whatever is inside, in.
