Piers, along with Scott and Hunter, rush through the forest in search of whoever is out in this hazardous landscape. They were safe, but for anyone without protection or any knowledge of this terrain, they would be dead already. When Ruven came to the rocky shore, they thought they were hidden and could watch what he did. Anything before that, they had know idea. Even if he likely killed any survivors, they still needed to know.
Ten minutes pass, they manage to find Ruven's trail, luckily the ground was muddy and made for easy prints. The group happen upon a steep hill heading down to what appears to be a nest. Bones and branches littered the ground, including the dead B.S.A.A. soldiers. The group stand around him in silence, realizing who were out here. Suddenly, a large growl comes from the trees above them. They look up to see a monstrous creature. It was larger than a human, its body hunched as it jumped to the ground. Hairless with blotches of greens, browns, and blacks to camouflage in the trees, its limbs long and flexible. Its head was large, having needle sharp teeth and a pointed chin. Without any eyes, it relies on any other senses to maneuver and hunt in their world. Scott aims his gun, but Piers places his hand in front of him as he whispers. "Wait, don't shoot. It's a nest, just back out and continue searching."
Scott nods and the group begin backing away. The creature keeps its body between them and the area. As they get further and further away, the creature begins to calm down before heading back into the trees. Piers directs Hunter and Scott to head around while he stays to make sure it doesn't follow. As they run off, the other sounds of the forest become clear to him, even the sounds of moaning. At first, he thought it was an animal, but as the moans continue, it sounded more and more human. He follows the noises the opposite direction of the nest. To his shock, he comes upon those he never thought he would see again, Chris and Leon.
He steps back, they are here, after so many years, he finally reunites with HIS Captain. The creatures from the nest come out of hiding and surround him. After what he has been through, every second, every minute, every day he waited, he wasn't going to let these wild creatures stop him. He drops his gun and starts focusing on his right hand. The cloth around it starts to move, violently, his arm becoming larger and starting to mutate. The right side of his face starts turning red. Smaller extra eyes begin to grow from the red area. He screams as his arm bursts forth as a red mass of bone protrusions and electricity. With one strike to the ground, he causes a field of static to burst forth around him. The creatures become startled, some caught up and flung away with great force, and back away.
Piers begins to relax, now only standing in the same spot. He looks down to his arm in worry, hoping he'd never see IT again. He looks to his "Captain" in horror, he's awake. He saw what he did, and saw who we was, all before falling unconscious again.
