Faith's POV:

It has been a day since my followers took over the pizzeria. But I haven't got any word from them, and this radio silence went on for a day. I was thinking that maybe the cougars from the jail took over the outpost. But the weird thing is no alarms were triggered, it's like the outpost never even existed. That's when I started to think that it may have been the Deputy. I have heard word from John that the deputy is creating problems in the Holland Valley. I haven't seen the Deputy's skill first hand, but from what I heard his wrath is unmatched. He has been able to clear entire outpost without anyone even knowing he was there.

Perhase he has journeys into the Henbane, and is trying to cause problems. If he is, I need to find him, and save him from himself. I shall bless him, and welcome him into the bliss. With it's help he'll finally welcome the Father's love.

I sent one of my priestesses and other followers to take back the pizzeria by force. If the Deputy is there, he will be brought into the bliss. And once he has his taste of the bliss, he'll belong to me.

Suddenly, one of my followers enters the room I am in. I give them a warm smile, as I turn to face them.

"Faith, I have word the Deputy is in the Holland Valley. John is doing his best to make them see the light." The Deputy is not in the Henbane? If that's the case, then there must be someone else that took out my followers. Regardless, I'll still find them, and they will see.

The cars pull into the pizzeria under the cover of night. What should have been a blockaded and guarded area, was instead empty. The speaker put up by the cult is still on and one of Faith's sermons could be heard. The alarm outside is still intact, and project members' cars from the last squad are still in the parking lot.

This didn't stop the peggies from being on edge though. As the head priestess gets out of the car she has her rifle drawn, as she gives the order to move in. She thinks it has to be a trap. Something must have happened to her brothers and sister, and whoever did it would pay. She knows whatever did it, must be inside the building. Luckily she was assigned a highly trained squad of cultists to accompany her. Project members stand ready with their assault rifles and shotguns, but the biggest thing in her arsenal is the chosen members. The priestess knew with god on their side, and the fact she has five chosen that any sinner wouldn't stand a chance.

The chosen kick down the door, and run in with their bows drawn. The building appears to be empty. But strangely enough one of the tables is broken, and is that….. blood? To the cultist this confirms there though that there was resistance here. They must have dragged the bodies off, and are waiting at any moment to ambush them.

"Ohh god… There's a blood trail leading out of the office. Those sick bastards!" The priestess rushes over to the office and sure enough there is a trial of blood trail. The body was dragged through the left hallway into the dinning room. Following the trail they see it leading into the top left room of the building. One of the cultists goes into the room, only to gasp and come out with his face pale.

"Ohh Joseph….. What sick of sick fuck would do this?!" He is barely able to talk as he goes to the corner to vomit. The priestess goes into the room prepared for the worst, but it's nothing she could have imagined.

"In the name of Edan!" Her nostrils are filled with blood and metallic as her eyes go wide. Against the wall are seven animatronic suits. But it's not the same as the ones on stage. There's blood all over them and are those….. Human eyes sticking out of the eye sockets?! The priestess tries to remain calm, as she uses her shaking hands to remove one of the heads. She drops the head to the floor as she backs up.

Instead of being an endoskeleton underneath, it's a human body! She can tell the others must be the same, as she steps out of the room. The sinners! The priestess clenches her fist as she prepares to give the order to tear the place apart in order to find the sinner. And when they do, she'll make sure their bodies hang from the building.

But before she can say anything she hears a scream and turns towards Pirates Cove. One cultist is holding his neck, fighting to keep his blood in. His face becomes paler by the second, as he falls to the ground. As the cultists look around to see who the attacker is, they see Foxy step out of Pirates Cove. His hook drenched with blood. The cultist screams as the building fills with gun fire.

The Junior Deputy (Aaron Skyler) - 5 weeks since the attempted arrest

As I reload my weapon, I take in the area around me. Hope County Montana, home. I have just destroyed one of Faith's shrines, after I found the location of it from an outpost. I also managed to save a hostage and kill the priestess trying to convert her. I look down as I see Boomer nudging me, in his mouth is a stack of cash. I smile as I take it, and pet his head.

I have already liberated Holland Valley. I even managed to kill that bastard John. After I shot down his plane, he parachuted to the ground. Unfortunately for him, I landed already and was waiting for him. He bled out and just to make sure he was dead I put two rounds through his skull before continuing to free Hudson and the hostages from his bunker.

I never thought when I signed up to be a deputy that I would be fighting a war in my own backyard. But Joseph had other plans. I saved Hudson but there is still Pratt, and the Marshall left to save. I don't know where the cult has Pratt or how he is doing, but all I know from Dutch is that he is still alive. Then there is the Marshall, the sheriff said that he is in the bliss. While I haven't been in the Henbane River long, I have seen what the bliss does to people. I need to find the Marshall before it's too late, in order to do that I need to keep fighting.

From where I'm standing I can see Joseph's statue. I grin as I look at the rpg on my back, I brought it just for this. I just wish I could see the look on Joseph's face, when that statue is nothing more than rubble. But there are probably peggies up there, and I know that they force people to walk the path to the statue. If there are any hostages there, I need to make sure they're safe, before I go in guns blazing.

I start making my way towards the statue. I have Nick in the skies for airsupport, and Boomer is with me on the ground. The only good thing to come out of the cult war for me, is all the friends I made. The will to stand up to the cult has brought the community close together, when this is over we will need everyone's help to stabilize things.

As I make it to the base of the statue, I hide in the nearby bushes. A speaker is playing Joseph preechings, talking about the collapse. There's a few peggies around the statue, and sure enough there's a hostage. One of Faith's priestess is forcibly holding his head into a bliss barrel, as the cultists around her cheer. I feel my grip on my rifle tighten as I look at the scene. There's no way in hell I'm letting them get away with this.

The man is wearing some sort of guard uniform. I can hear him gasping for air, as he tries to struggle in vain against the priestess grip. I come out from behind cover smashing a metal pipe over the head of one cultist. Before any of them react, I throw the pipe at the priestess's head, killing her.

"Shit! It's the sinner, we can't let him damage the statue!" They raise their guns but before they can get a single shot off, I shut them down using my modified rifle. The rest of the cultists on the outside of the statue go down easy. Nick shots down three, as Boomer jumps on one. I finish off the last one by snapping their neck.

Now with the area clear it should be safe to check on the guard. He is hiding behind a stand. His eyes are milky white, shit he must have been exposed to bliss for a while now. I'm just glad I got to him before he became an angel. As I go over to him, I try to put a hand on his shoulder but he jerks back with the look of terror on his face.

"It's ok, all the peggies are dead. They can't hurt you, are you alright?" I hold out my hand in order to help him up, and he reluctantly accepts. He must have gone through so much like all the other victims. I wish I could do more for those people, even after Edan's Gate is cleared out, the effect it had on this community….. It will take ages to go away.

"Thank you! The peggies! They…!" He cries, as looks between me and the barrel of bliss.

"I barely survived for the month they had me. If it wasn't for you, I would be an angel or jumped to my death!"

"I'm just glad you're ok. There are still peggies in the statue, and they are not going to be happy with what I did here. You need to get to the jail. The cougars are there, and it's safe from the cult." The man nods, as he is still trying to catch his breath. He is probably still under the effects of bliss. Not enough to warrant medicine to clear out his mind, but enough to cause hallucinations.

"I'm Mike, I work at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza as the night guard. The cult took it over, I think they're using it to help in the creation of this bliss." Freddy Fazbear's Pizza? I know that it has been abandoned since the 80's. There's many rumors surrounding the place. My mom's older sister was one of the kids to go missing during the incident. My mom has sadness in her eyes, whenever she hears about the place. I wish I could have met Aunt Susie, it breaks my heart that she died at a young age. But regardless of my history with Fazbear's I still need to take it from the cult. If I clear it out, that will be one less place for the cult, and one more foot hold for the resistance.

"Thanks, stay safe. And try to watch out for any cultist. When you get to the jail tell them the deputy sent you." Mike nods thanking me one last time, as he heads off. I hope he makes it to the jail all right. The cult is practically everywhere. The next time I go to the jail, I'll make sure. Taking out my rpg I look at the statue smiling. Time to take this down!

The next day

"There's one peggie on the rooftop. Say the word and I'm dropping him." Grace stood with me hiding in the tree line. Her marksmanship is unmatched.

"I'll head in, take out a few quietly. Then once you start firing it should bring the rest out of the building." Grace nodes, and I crouch down making my way to the pizzeria. There's two guards talking to each other. It will be hard taking them both out without alerting the others.

"If it was me, I would have just scraped them. Those things give me the creeps."

"You saw what they did to the team sent in. After we repair them, they could be a usual tool against those cougars." What are they talking about? At first it sounded as if they were talking about a person, but repair? Could they have some sort of special weapon they plan to use against the resistance? I need to see what they found, maybe I can use it in the fight against them. I throw a throwing knife into the throat of the man to the left. Before his friend can shout I pull him over the cement slab and slam his back into it, breaking it.

I make my way to the alarm and carefully disable it. As I turn the corner I see a cultist with her back turned to me. I sneaking up behind her, I snap her neck and get behind cover. Signaling Grace she shoots the sniper on the roof, causing all the cultists inside to hear the shot. Five cultists rush outside in a panic, but Grace shoots one down. I throw a molotov into the center of the group, three of them catch on fire. The last cultist looks at the tree line in a panic trying to see where the shots came from, but he turns. He's probably trying to set off an alarm inside the building, but he won't make it. The cultist is barely able to see Boomer from the corner of his eye, as he falls to the ground. With Boomer being on top of him, I easily walk up to him and fire a round through his head using my sidearm. Putting away my pistol, I take out my radio.

"Sheriff, I took out the cultist at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Send a team over to hold it."
