RAYNE looked around, her highly trained senses on the alert. She heard small rustles from the bushes ahead to the left of her, and moved noiselessly forward.

THE RETURN lay quietly, behind a big rock which almost shielded him from anyone coming from the front.

Almost.

Rayne could just make out the small sneakers on Return's legs. She stopped and leaned to her left, and could just make out Return's side. She aimed and fired twice almost instantly.

BLAM!!!

BLAM!!!

The Return never knew what hit him. The shells ripped through his side, opening up two huge, smoking wounds which started gushing blood almost instantly. He rolled away to the other side, aware of his safety, fighting back the pain. He looked up and satisfied himself that he was safe, before getting his HPs out. Rayne peered back and threw her empty shotgun away with a mischevious smile.


CHRONOGRL sat down quietly. She had heard the shots from Doc away on her left and knew Doc was onto some Assassins. She had a hunch one of them would be headed her way and smartly waited. Soon enough, Despare walked through the undergrowth, cursing everything while applying his HPs to himself. He was so busy fussing with his HPs that he didnt notice ChronoGrl staring directly at him from the front. ChronoGrl grinned evilly, picked up her shotgun nonchalantly and fired twice in rapid succession.

BLAM!!

BLAM!!

Despare barely had a faint glimpse of ChronoGrl before his body sailed through the air, the shells ripping out two huge holes on his chest and right thigh. He landed heavily on the trunk of a huge tree and fell down, breathing heavily and teeth gritted to fight the pain. Chrono uttered a loud yell in absolute pleasure, as Despare reached for his HPs.


SCOUSE MAC was hiding in the darkness. A place where the bushes were so thick their collective shadows blotted out a piece of forest, and which was ideal for him to hide. He watched Chrono intently, as she made short work of Despare and walked away. He looked back at the row of trees through which Despare had gone flying back, and stood up.

He walked forward quickly, knowing fully well what Despare would be up to. He came across Despare just as he had brought his HPs out, and picked up his shotgun. Despare looked up from the shadow falling across him, and there was a faint plea in his eyes. His lips made the motion of saying "NOOOO!" but no words came out as Scouse's shotgun rang twice, mercilessly.

BLAM!!

BLAM!!

Despare sighed in terrible pain. The shells had ripped through his left side and thigh, and he fell back with a loud groan. All strength was drained off Despare, and Scouse looked at him without any remorse. As soon as Scouse started to move away, Despare reached for his HPs feebly.
