Thanks for the well-wishes, guys. He's in a facility right now, being evaluated. He'll be there for 3 days, with no contact with his family. I'll let you know how it goes.

I go away for the weekend and come back to THIS? Well, I choose to believe you're all just threatened by me ;)

But on a brighter note - THANK YOU FELLOW TITANS! I love you all :')

FIRST UPDATE


About 14 hours and 25 minutes have passed since Challenge #8 was posted, and I have received only THREE entries so far - ONE from the Zombie Titans, and TWO from the Blazing Hellspawns.

Still some way to go for the deadline.

One of the novels on that list is one of my all time favorites, and a far sight better than either of the films that were based on it!

I'm in............,

When the answers are revealed, do tell! :)

SECOND UPDATE


Almost 23 hours and 16 minutes have passed by now, and the number of entries in has risen to TEN - SIX from the Hellspawns & FOUR from the Titans.

Still 12 hours and 44 minutes left till the deadline expires.

I think it's Willard (1971):)

Some of you got a few spellings wrong, but the answer was right so I accepted them. Many of you sent in the author's name as well, which was not asked for in the Challenge.

I did not accept wrong years listed, and also many of you couldn't correctly name the original work of fiction for a particular film, and went with the film's English name instead.

and...

THE BLAZING HELLSPAWNS WIN CHALLENGE NUMBER EIGHT!


Let's proceed directly to the ZONE outing...NEXT!!

Sorry, Zombie Titans. It pains me to do this, but...

*motioning to the guards to open the gates leading into the Hunting Zone and lead the unarmed Zombie Titans team into it*


Hellspawns, here is your weapon for the hunting :-


It's a GRENADE LAUNCHER, loaded with ONE Grenade! Each Grenade is capable of causing damage worth FOUR HPs!!

In addition, Straker carries his STALKER SHIELD into the Zone with him, Chronogrl has her Crossbow with TWO arrows, and Weapon X carries with him his DOUBLE SHOT as well!!

(Zombie Titans Disease & MichaelMyers are asked to leave their weapons in their bunkers)


Send me your PMs regarding which Titan you choose as the target for your Grenade Launcher. You all have 36 hours (till Thursday, Noon EST) to make your choices.


ALSO, I DECLARE THE GIFTING OF HEALTH PACKS RULE AS ACTIVATED!



JUST A MINUTE, ALL OF YOU!!

Someone else will be joining both of you in the Hunt.

Take a look...




One hit from Jason's machete will cause DAMAGE WORTH 25 HPS!!!
AND HE WILL BE COMING AFTER BOTH TEAMS!!!


The Entire Zone is divided into FOUR distinct Sectors - Uno, Dos, Tres & Cuatro.
Contestants of both teams, you need to send me PMs regarding which Sector of the Zone you will be in. In case you fail to send me a PM clarifying this, a random area will be chosen for you!


Also, remember this Hellspawns, that if even ONE of you FAILS to fire their Grenade Launcher, ALL OF YOU stand to be SHOT FOUR TIMES by the Snipers in the Watchtowers!

I leave you to confer within your team, or take individual decisions on your own, whichever seems fit...

but your time in the Hunting Zone starts...NOW!!

THE ZOMBIE TITANS LOSE CHALLENGE #8[QUOTE]

*cough* *cough* losers *cough*

Tell my mum I love her.

My shots have been fired.

Let's get 'em, Team.

And you were right. Stephen Gilbert's original "Ratman's Notebooks" is a great rfread, rife with social satire.

UPDATE FROM THE ZONE


The BR cameras reveal that as many as SEVEN Hellspawns have fired their Grenade Launchers so far. TWO are still silent.

And, JASON has been in action!!!

Still some way to the deadline. Let's see what the future unfolds...

Andddddddd THE DEADLINE TICKS OVER!!!

Let's see what all happened inside the Zone...

Don't have a good feeling about this, at all...

The gates of the Hunting Zone are thrown open to let both teams back into the BR compound, and almost immediately the whole Zone is ROCKED with the continuous sound of Sniper guns blazing!!!

The contestants then droop back in, tired and weary. After most of them have piled back in, a head count reveals that FIVE contestants have FAILED to report back in!!!!!

The BR scanners are cranked up and they reveal FIVE DEAD BODIES INSIDE THE ZONE!!!


Let's see what the BR camera recordings reveal, from earlier...

I totally missed the ball on this one....extremely busy at work kept me from the computer yesterday....let the chips fall where they may

THE BEGINNING:


Before the Hunt began...


ROSHIQ decided to donate 20 HPs to WHOEVER NEEDED THEM THE MOST!!

MICHAELMYERS decided to donate 3 HPs to WHOEVER NEEDED THEM THE MOST!!


And then, the Hunt began!



ALKYTRIO666 went straight in and blasted FERRETCHUCKER with his Grenade Launcher!

(Ferretchucker used up 4 of his HPs to heal himself. He had 3 HPs left.)

ALKYTRIO666 then proceeded into the TRES area to hide, but he was confronted by JASON!! He turned on his heels to run back out, but JASON was fast!! The huge machete came through in the flash of a light, and ALKYTRIO666 WAS BRUTALLY STABBED AND STUCK ON THE TREE IN FRONT, the machete passing cleanly through his chest and through the tree's thick stem as blood spurted out from his mouth and wound. HE WAS IMPALED FROM BEHIND, and his 11 HPs couldn't save him!!

BLAZING HELLSPAWN ALKYTRIO666 IS DEAD!!!



CHRONOGRL ran through the Zone to target FERRETCHUCKER with her Grenade Launcher and two arrows!!

(Ferretchucker used up his final 3 HPs and started to cough up blood. Luckily, ROSHIQ arrived and immediately patched up the rest of his wounds with 3 HPs)

CHRONOGRL then proceeded into the TRES area to hide, where, unluckily for her, JASON WAS WAITING! Chrono dodged him as much as she could, but Jason's hard swipes at her body cut her up in multiple places!! Finally, Chronogrl went down a hole in the ground, all bloodied and torn up all over her body. She used up all of her 25 HPs, and barely survived till the Hunt got over.


STRAKER strided confidently to where FERRETCHUCKER lay, breathing heavily with all his injuries, being nursed by ROSHIQ. He proceeded to shoot him with his Grenade Launcher!!!

(Ferretchucker merely grunted as he was thrown by the blast. Roshiq came over to patch him up with 4 more HPs.)

STRAKER then roamed through the Zone till he came into Sector UNO, where he hid safely till the Hunt was over.


IMMORTALSLASHER ran into the Zone, mouth set grimly. He came across THE VILLAIN and immediately blasted him with his Grenade Launcher!!!!

(The Villain healed himself with 4 of his HPs. He now had 15 HPs left with him.)

IMMORTALSLASHER went straight into CUATRO sector to hide, where he remained safe till the Hunt was over.


ZERO swung through the trees in search of THE VILLAIN, found him patching himself up, and fired his Grenade Launcher directly at him!!!!!

(4 more HPs came to The Villain's rescue. He had 11 HPs saved now.)

ZERO then looked around, spotted CHRONOGRL in the distance, crawling out of a hole in the ground all bloodied and worsted from her Jason attack, and flung pooh at her!!! He grinned widely at her when she glared back, then kept swinging through the trees into sector DOS where he stayed safe till the Hunt was over.



(To Be Continued...)

Goddamnit. Worst. Luck. Ever.

Oh, well. To be honest, I'm surprised that this is the first time I've been hit by a Stalker/Predator/Jason/Lurker/Evil Type.

THE END:


GOREPHOBIA tried to sneak up to THE VILLAIN but The Villain heard his heavy footsteps on the dry leaves, and turned to run. But Gorephobia was quick! A quick aim, and the Grenade Launcher roared!! The Villain went flying through the bushes from the impact!!!!!!

(The Villain's stock of HPs was depleting. He patched himself up with 4 more, and now had only 7 with him.)

Gorephobia then walked into the DOS area to hide, where he stayed safe till the Hunt was over.



WEAPON X crept up silently at where FERRETCHUCKER lay, oozing blood out from his patched HPs and being guarded by Roshiq. He aimed carefully at Ferretchucker, and squeezed the trigger of his Grenade Launcher!!!!!!! Not stopping there, he quickly SHOT Ferretchucker TWICE as well!!!

(Ferretchucker's old wounds opened up with this huge blast as he went flying backwards! Roshiq dutifully knelt beside him when he landed heavily and immediately patched him up with 6 more HPs.)

WEAPON X then dropped his empty Grenade Launcher and hiked into the DOS area to hide, where he stayed safe till the Hunt was over.



(It was here that SENTINEL65 decided to donate ALL his HPs to WHOEVER NEEDED THEM THE MOST!)



THE UGLY DUCHESS went straight in and found his target, FERRETCHUCKER nearly unconscious with all his wounds, and BLASTED HIM with the Grenade Launcher!!!!!!!!

(Ferret's world was spinning around, with huge waves of blackness numbing his brains. Roshiq, ever so faithful, pulled out 4 more HPs to patch him up.)

THE UGLY DUCHESS then roamed aimlessly through all the Sectors, and finally slowed down in Sector TRES!! He had no idea that it was the sector of JASON, who came crashing through the bushes straight at him!! The Duchess was scared stiff at JASON's towering sight, and JASON paused for just ONE moment before swinging his huge machete, DECAPITATING THE DUCHESS IN ONE SWIFT BLOW!!!

BLAZING HELLSPAWN THE UGLY DUCHESS IS DEAD!!!!!




THE VILLAIN painfully limped through the paths and slowly lumbered into Sector TRES, checking the area around him carefully for any Hellspawns. Little did he know, that SOMEONE ELSE GLARED AT HIM from behind a mask, with ONE GOOD EYE!!!

JASON CAME THUNDERING THROUGH THE TREES, AND SLASHED THROUGH THE VILLAIN, OVER AND OVER!!!

(The Villain tried his best at dodging and avoiding, but couldn't prevent himself from getting carved all over! Covered in his own spurting blood from head to toe, The Villain went sliding down a slope to finally see Jason off in the distance!! He landed at the base and patched himself up with his remaining 7 HPs, but the wounds all over his body were numerous. Luckily for him, ROSHIQ, MICHAELMYERS & SENTINEL65 came running through to help their teammate immediately. Roshiq patched him up with 3 HPs, MichaelMyers provided 3 more HPs, and Sentinel65 pulled out 12 of his HPs to cover all of The Villain's wounds. The Villain was saved, but it took THREE teammates to save him.)


And...THAT'S IT!!!!!



What happened to Hellspawn FREDDYMYERS, you ask?

I have no idea, because I RECEIVED NO PM FROM HIM!!!


And because of that, ALL HELLSPAWNS ARE IN LINE FOR A VERY BRUTAL PUNISHMENT!!!


As soon as the Hunt was over, the remaining Hellspawns gathered together before the gates, looking up warily at the Snipers. But, as they dreaded, the Snipers pulled up their guns, loaded them with exactly FOUR bullets, and started BLASTING THEM!!


Poor Chronogrl. She had run out of HPs, and nobody had donated anything this time in the Hellspawns team. Her luck had to run out sometime, but she never would have thought it would end this way.


As the Sniper bullets pounded through her body, she was reminded of her glorious past. Scenes of her life blazed before her eyes, as the final Sniper bullet blasted through her forehead and left a smoking hole in it!


BLAZING HELLSPAWN CHRONOGRL IS DEAD!!!!!



And for those who didn't select a Sector -

Random Sector for THE UGLY DUCHESS - TRES (Dead).

Random Sector for FREDDYMYERS - UNO (safe).

Random Sector for NEWB - DOS (safe).

Random Sector for NIGHTMARE OF DEATH - DOS (safe).

Random Sector for SENTINEL65 - TRES (HACKED BY JASON!!!!)


(***ZOMBIE TITAN SENTINEL65 IS DEAD!!!!!***)


Random Sector for FERRETCHUCKER - TRES (BEHEADED BY JASON!!!)


(***ZOMBIE TITAN FERRETCHUCKER IS DEAD!!!!!***)




Let's have a look at the Updated Statuses...

We are so fuckin' lame in the hunting zone! Everytime we've won a challenge (which is most of the time!) we've done more damage to ourselves than the enemy. :rolleyes:

Our team just got decimated. :(

Phew. That was something!

RIP Senti and FC.:( Marley's Ghost will sing you out...

And...got 'er. ;)
