- Hunter Urgeok found a dark cave and sat down slowly inside it. He looked around and heard some rustling between the trees. He sat up and peered ahead.

Austin broke through the bushes and walked forward, casting quick glances behind him. Urgeok silently picked up his Rocket Launcher, pointed it at Austin, and FIRED!!

BAM!

The blast caught Austin unawares, and he was thrown back. Almost immediately, numerous deep gashes filled his entire body and he was bleeding heavily. He patched himself quickly with 5 HPs, and became fit again.

Urgeok watched Austin getting thrown back from the impact, and slowly walked out of the cave, following him. Austin had hid behind a tree to patch himself, and now he was a sitting duck. Urgeok gave him no chance to recover, and he fired his rocket at point-blank range!

BAM!

Austin had gotten up to run, but the impact of the rocket was severe on his back. He fell forward and crawled on ahead, plenty of blood pouring out of his wounds all over. Urgeok threw his empty rocket launcher away, satisfied.

Austin used up 5 more of his HPs to heal himself. He was fit, although bleeding and sore, with 7 HPs left with him.



- Hunter Zero had climbed up his favorite tree. He was checking out some birds in the distance when he heard the firing of the rockets nearby. He knew someone's goose was getting cooked, and grinned to himself.

Poor Austin! How was he to know that in his stumblings he had walked right into Zero's range!! Zero caught sight of him, and without wasting a moment, fired!!

BAM!

Austin never knew what hit him. Too tired and bleeding, the impact of the blast just picked him up in the air and threw him straight into a tree. He fell down heavily again, his wounds becoming deeper and his face going deep crimson. Hastily, he took out some HPs and treated himself with them. He was fit, although bleeding from numerous wounds, with 2HPs left.

Zero didn't give him a second chance. The second rocket was loaded in a jiffy, and Zero fired!

BAM!

Austin's hearing stopped. Everything went into a dizzy whirl. He had no sense or idea of where his body was headed...all he could think of was the intense pain. His mind cast back images of the people he had hunted down in The Zone himself, and when he landed...he used up his last 2 HPs on some cuts.

He was alive, but Severely Wounded. Bleeding, sore, tired...Austin fell down.

Zero climbed down from the tree, and walked over to where Austin lay.

The redhead hunter looked down at the severely wounded cowboy, and smiled. He took his M16 Machine Gun out, and pointed it straight at Austin's head, right between the eyes.

In between deep heaves for breath, Austin opened his eyes and looked once. He closed his eyes again, silently accepting his impending doom.

Zero pressed the trigger twice!!

Both bullets entered Austin's skull in rapid succession, frying his brains.


The redhead roared in satisfaction...
