"Transparency"

Blackshot stood from a genuflecting stance. He found himself surrounded by a large crater in the middle of a dark jungle. Surrounded by none and accompanied by no one, the jungle was very silent that one could hear a pin drop. Blackshot reverted back into his Human form and climbed the edge of the crater, brown glowing eyes darting from left to right, in full alert for any enemies that might lurk within the shadows.

Drawing his Blast Rifle from behind, he calmly walk while surveying his new environment with controlled awe. He could see numerous trees that does not originated from Earth. Rumor has it that The Agency were using extraterrestrial seeds to create hybrids of exotic plants.

The purpose of these bloated trees were obviously to conceal The Agency's facility from the map.

Blackshot was deployed with Protectorate Vengeance, who remained silent for some reason. He continued walking, derailing his train of thoughts and listening to the slightest sound of foreign movement.

Something moved. Something big, something fleshy and something glowing. Blackshot whirled, Blast Rifle raised. He saw a bloated figure with a steel bucket head. Its eyes were visible through the small horizontal slits that glowed cyan. Its blade, a circular buckler attached with a glowing blade that matches the color of its eyes, illuminated the entity's surroundings slightly. Blackshot raised his rifle and opened fire.

Glowing blue balls of fire came speeding towards the exposed flesh of the entity and disemboweled it in an instant. Stunned, the monster let out a howling call, a battle cry, before charging straight at him. Blackshot sidestepped and swung his right fist backwards; a blade extended into view.

He charged and drove the blade in the back of the monster repeatedly before taking out its spinal cord from its meaty flesh. The entity let out another howl before slumping forward, dead.

In the distance, he could hear the same howl and by the sound of it, the source was many.
