Sector B:

Papillon Noir stopped and looked around. She wasnt aware she had walked this far after shooting Posher with everything she had. She tried to remember where she was, and didnt see the revolver pointing straight at her from behind a tree.

BLAM!! BLAM!!

Both bullets blasted into Noir from the front, and she careened backwards. Quickly hiding behind the nearest tree, she pulled her HPs out.

NIGHTMARE OF DEATH came out of her hiding place and peeked towards where Noir had gone.

THWUNK!! THWUNK!!

Two grenades lobbed and fell gently beside Nightmare, and exploded.

BAMMMMMMMMMMMM!! BAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!

Nightmare was thrown forward, her body ripped apart by the twin explosions. She fell heavily on the base of a tree, just as rapid shots rang out in front of her.

BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!

The bullets tore into Nightmare's body in several places, leaving her a bleeding mess. Her last 2 HPs were not sufficient to stop the bleeding as she went into convulsions and spasms, seemingly on her last throes of imminent death.

DUDE GUADALUPE looked at Nightmare and dropped his Assault Rifle, seemingly satisfied.

Noir had heard the explosions and the shots, and stayed hidden. She was smart to wait till all the shots had been fired, before getting up to greet her fellow winning contestant. She looked at Dude and waved happily. Dude looked at her long and hard, and reached for something strapped on his back.

Out came the Grenade Launcher he had won in the last Challenge. Dude aimed, and Noir's smile froze.

THWUNK!! THWUNK!!

Both grenades lobbed straight at Noir, and exploded.

BAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! BAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Noir fell back, stunned and bleeding. She clearly wasnt expecting this attack from Dude. Dude stashed the Grenade Launcher away, and took his Shotgun out. He rapidly strode to where Noir lay, and started firing at her from far.

BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!

Noir's whole body was ripped into smithereens. Numerous shotgun wounds sprung up all over her body rapidly over the places torn by the explosions of the grenades, and she was losing a tremendous amount of blood quickly. Dude let her patch herself up with her remaining HPs the best she could, and she fell back at last when she ran out of HPs, breathing heavily and Severely Wounded.

Dude checked the chamber. 3 shells still remaining.

He calmly walked over to where Noir lay, fighting back the spasms and bleeding in torrents. He pointed the shotgun straight at her chest.

"No hard feelings," Dude murmured and squeezed the trigger rapidly.

BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!

The three shells ripped Noir's chest apart, blasting her heart into a big pile of fleshy mess and turning her lungs into a bloody mash. Noir's eyes stayed wide open, as darkness sorrounded her brains from all sides.


PAPILLON NOIR IS DEAD!!!!!


A shadow fell across Nightmare's body as it was wracked in death spasms. Nightmare had a peek from the corner of her eyes and gasped at the sight. Two rows of shining, pointed and very cruel teeth parted and another smaller set of teeth came flying out of the gap, thumping into her forehead and ripping her brains apart. Nightmare's body went through a final long spasm, before going still.


NIGHTMARE OF DEATH IS DEAD!!!!!


The Alien dropped Nightmare's body, and looked around at Dude in the distance. Dude was in the process of dropping his now-empty Shotgun, and the Alien moved towards him. Dude heard nothing as the Alien jumped at him from behind. Both went down and Dude turned around rapidly, still clutching his empty Shotgun. The Alien parted its jaws again, and Dude thrust the shotgun straight into it, locking the Alien's tongue inside. The Alien's tail swung around to impale him and Dude swerved. The tail ripped through his right shoulder and nailed it to the ground. Dude yelped in pain.

A shrill, buzzing vibration went through the Alien's body. Dude felt it too and looked up, grimacing with pain. The Alien retracted its tail and glared at Dude once, dropping some of its saliva on him. It jumped back into the trees and soon disappeared. Dude groaned loudly, reaching for his HPs and thanking his stars silently.

Someone else was watching this fight intently from a distance. Freak was fighting back the searing sensations of his own wounds as he had hobbled into this Sector. He looked at Dude reaching for his HPs, and instantly lifted his revolver.

BLAM!! BLAM!!

Both bullets thundered into Dude's back and he rolled around with a moan. Freak managed a smile before dropping his revolver. Dude had his Grenade Launcher out, but Freak had hobbled back out of sight from between the trees by then.
