Sector B:


Bwind22 was creeping up, scanning his left and right then staring forward again. The trail of blood in front of him led into the boulders nearby, and Bwind's grip tightened on his Launcher. He parted some bushes carefully and stopped.

The cave looked dark and ominous! And the trail of blood led right into it!

Bwind squinted inside. He could barely make out the silhouette of a figure inside, huddled in a corner and breathing heavily. Gentle spasms rocked it's body. Then, the figure turned towards him.

Bwind lifted his weapon and fired.

THUNK!

The grenade lobbed near NOD's left side. NOD opened her eyes in alarm for an instant, then everything clouded over.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The explosion echoed around the small cave, kicking up plenty of dirt and pebbles into NOD's face. Her sides and patches of HPs were ripped out again, blood oozing out of them. She was Bleeding, and her mind was shutting off the world around her. Her body had started jerking and going numb, as her right arm clawed at the walls of the cave in sheer agony. She crawled out at a snail's pace, bleeding quite badly.

Bwind grinned, and dropped his weapon.


DS was on his last legs, literally. His strength had gone, and only the grim determination to stay alive was putting some amazing strength into his arms as they pulled his torn body forward.

A silent pair of eyes watched him crawl across!

DS kept crawling, oblivious of someone watching him. He crawled on, straight out of this area into the next, right across the hidden hunter. As soon as DS had crawled out of sight, the hunter was suddenly aware that he had NOT FIRED HIS WEAPON!

Ergh, Despare thought and kicked himself. He grabbed his Launcher and got up to run behind DS.



Sector D:


NOD had crawled out of the cave somehow, holding her ripped body together. She couldn't crawl far though, and came to a stop near some bushes. A shadow fell across her, and the pointed barrel of the grenade launcher was aimed right at her face!

NOD closed her eyes, without even looking at who her attacker was.

The shadow took a step back, and pressed the trigger.

THUNK!

The grenade lobbed out, and the shadow sprinted back some distance away.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

NOD's final thoughts were "Sorry for not..." Her brains broke off her thought processes as the cruel explosion of the grenade blasted her head apart, ripping it open and splattering her brains right across the bushes. Her legs stuttered for a bit, her single arm rolled for a moment, before the rest of her body calmed down and lay still.

Straker dropped his weapon, and yelled out a huge warcry.


SLICE 'N' DICER NIGHTMARE OF DEATH IS DEAD!!!!!


DS was crawling with all he had left. He had no idea where he was headed, but kept crawling forward. Soon the ground gave away to sand, and then to soft wet mud, interspersed with small rocks. A boot crunched on his outstretched hand and DS winced. The barrel poked at his head, and he lifted his head.

It was the last sight DS was destined to see.

THUNK!

The grenade came out of the barrel and thudded into his face, falling right below DS's chin.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The might of the explosion blasted DS's head into bits, splattering chunks of flesh, blood and brains into the rocks and mud around him! The figure walked forward and kicked his still-jerking body into the water next to it, and DS's body was slowly caught into the current and floated away to some unknown destination.


PHANTOM DEMON SEED IS DEAD!!!!!


Fiend Skull watched the headless body float away, and turned back. Despare came running through the bushes straight at him.

"Where did that bastard go?" Despare gasped breathlessly.

"Where do you think?", Fiend replied then nodded towards the river.

Despare gaped on, lowering his loaded Grenade Launcher. Fiend took one look at him, then walked forward.


In the stillness of the night, all the surviving hunters had gathered near the Gates. Despare looked sullen. As the deadline ticked over, the windows in the watchtowers opened and the snipers trained their rifles straight at the two groups!

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!...

The shots kept resonating all around the still night.



I will give you some moments out to grieve for your fallen ones.

Status Updates will follow shortly.
