The hunters and the hunted

The hunting dogs had already picked up their scent and were rapidly closing in on their location. Kevin and the Scrappers were trapped in the middle of the woods with two Raider squads on their trail. They could neither go back nor push forward.

"Stay right here. I'll handle the trackers. They already know we're here. No need to keep it down anymore. Go loud," Kevin instructed the Scrappers and activated his dual Shredder Rifles. 

The hunting dogs scampered across the forest floor, with Raiders following close behind. They expected to take the Scrappers by surprise, but instead, they found themselves face-to-face with the cyborg. 

The only thing clearly visible in that stifling darkness was a pair of glowing blue eyes. Kevin stood before the Raiders, blocking their path.
