The DEADLINE was UP around 55 minutes back!

The gates to the Zone were thrown open and the hunters marched back in triumphantly.

They were followed in by one ENTIRE hunted team who had escaped this Zone outing WITHOUT A SINGLE SCRATCH ON ANY OF THEM!

A long pause later, the other hunted team trooped in slowly, one by one. Two of them were carrying a makeshift stretcher of vines, leaves and branches between them, on which ONE team member lay quietly, breathing heavily and apparently unconscious. Two other members limped in behind them, some HP patches very apparent on their bodies.

Let's rewind the clock to earlier in the outing...to the very beginning...

We felt sorry for the poor things...They had already taken so much damage by their own hands :p

Guess I will go to bed upset from not reading the results in stead of angry from being shot a bunch.

RESULTS OF THE HUNTING ZONE OUTING NUMBER FOUR


As soon as the SnD team strode inside the Zone, they gathered in a circle. Explicit instructions were given to each of them, and all of them nodded in approval.

Although 2 of them had other ideas.

Holding a huge sawed-off shotgun in one hand, and a big battle-axe in the other, the entire SnD team looked totally badass!

They soon dispersed on all sides, each with a target in mind.



MissMacabre peered out from the small cave she was hiding in. The forest around her was curiously quiet. She blinked in all directions but could make out nothing.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The shot took MissM completely by surprise. She was thrown back, the shell ripping into her chest and causing a small explosion on her body. Before she fell, the second shot thundered into her.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The shell tore through her side, ripping it open. By the time she hit the floor a fraction of a second later, she was bleeding fast. Fresh tears swelled into MissM's eyes and started rolling down as she uttered a small whimper of immense, searing pain. She grabbed at her HPs, just as the bushes in front of her parted and a huge figure lumbered towards her, one hand holding a shotgun whose barrels still oozed smoke and the other swinging an axe.

MissM looked up and shrieked, trying to shield herself by crawling back and turning around.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The axe came down straight on her exposed back and crunched into her shoulderblades. MissM screamed out, and started sobbing uncontrollably, blinded by the immense pain her body's nerves threw at her braincells. The axe-blade broke into two and rolled out of her wound into the ground.

Groundzero2424 leaned over her and sneered.

"Miss me, baby?" he chuckled. MissM's hands reached for her HPs, as he took a step back, turned around and walked out slowly, his eyes glinting and a small smile on his lips.


GZ came out into the bushes, and nodded at the person in front of him. The other person smiled and walked up through where GZ had come from. GZ looked after them and then turned around, walking towards the gates and whistling a tune.


MissM had stopped crying. The HPs were doing their job and her bleeding had stopped for the moment. She was lying down quietly, soaking in the effects of the HPs. Rayne quietly gazed at her, her eyes narrowing slowly. She lifted her shotgun and aimed carefully.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The impact of the shotgun blast threw MissM back. The shell tore through her left thigh and left a huge, gaping wound which started throwing out blood almost immediately. She groaned loudly and tried to turn, but by then the other shot was on its way.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

MissM felt the shell thud into her body, ripping through her stomach. She closed her eyes and lay on the floor on her back, a weak hand reaching for her HPs backpack. Rayne walked out of the bushes confidently and strode straight to her in long strides.

"The head," Rayne whispered enigmatically as she lifted her axe high above her head. MissM opened her eyes briefly before closing them again in silent resignation.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The axe ripped into MissM's right shoulder, almost severing it off her body. She merely sighed and moaned once, a small convulsion shaking her all over. The hands reached out instinctively at her HPs slowly, as Rayne looked on at the axe-blade disintegrate into two pieces. Her eyes were shining, a hidden fury inside them.

Bwind22 knew. He was nearby somewhere, he could feel it. His trained eyes scanned the sight in front of him. Boulders, grass and bushes everywhere. He lay low on his belly and waited.

He didn't wait for long. Almost 15 minutes later, the outline walked in from the right and went to the big boulder in front. It looked left and right, apparently checking the sight from behind the boulder in all directions. Satisfied, it clambered over the huge rock and disappeared behind it.

Bwind instantly sprung up and quickly followed the receding outline. He jumped to the left of the boulder and straight at his target. Roshiq looked at him with wide, frightened eyes.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The blast threw Rosh behind, ripping through his groin area. It opened up a huge, bleeding wound on the inner part of his right thigh, VERY narrowly missing his privates. Shit!, Bwind thought. Roshiq turned, clutching his wound tightly.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The second shot threw Rosh off-balance, and he went sprawling onto the rocky floor in front of him. The shell made a big hole on his butt which immediately coughed up a lot of fresh blood.

"We don't feel so clever now, huh? Do we?" Bwind sneered.

He took a couple steps forward and lifted his axe. Roshiq turned again, reaching for his HPs. The sight in front of him brought fresh terror into his eyes.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" Roshiq screamed.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Bwind's axe swiped across Roshiq's face! It left a deep, gashing cut across his face, stretching from above his left eyebrow down to the right side of his chin. The long cut swelled and bobbed for an instant, before a small spray of blood sprayed out of it.

"Look into the mirror again, and think of me," Bwind grinned, the malice receding from his eyes.

The axe-blade broke into two and Bwind dropped it. Roshiq touched the cut on his face and winced with closed eyes. His hands went around at his HPs.


Doc Faustus emerged from behind the tree and looked in front of him. He was smart enough to keep moving, knowing fully well that he would be a sitting duck if he chose to stay at a particular place to hide. A swish in the air diverted his attention for an instant.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The axe thudded straight into Doc's chest and he reeled back for a couple of steps, backing into the tree! Straker looked and smiled, then walked forward. The axe-blade broke into two and it fell down heavily into the ground, as blood dripped out from Doc's chest.

"Payback time, Doc," Straker teased, feeling the dull ache on his chest where Doc had cut it with a machete in the previous hunt.

MissM looked at the scene in front of her - Straker standing near Doc with a grin, and Doc breathing and bleeding heavily. She tried to move forward as noiselessly as possible, but her body was on fire. She winced as her leg brushed on a dry twig, snapping it loudly.

Straker whirled towards her. As soon as his sights were set on her, he lifted his shotgun. MissM shrieked and tried to make a dash for the nearest tree. Her legs however, buckled and gave up from under her.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

Straker emptied both the chambers of his shotgun simultaneously. Both shells ripped into MissM's right side and she was thrown on her left, thudding on the ground and yelling loudly. Straker lowered his shotgun, satisfied. MissM's eyes began to roll over, but she managed to hold her consciousness together and grabbed another couple of HPs from her backpack.

[_____V_____]

(Contd.)


MissM lay heaving. Short, numbered breaths escaped her mouth. Her whole body was on fire, spasming very gently with the spurts of blood oozing out of her wounds. She knew she couldn't take a lot of further damage. Out here under the small tree near the cave, she was a sitting duck. I have to move, the thought blazed through her mind and she started to slowly crawl forward.

A clump of closely-grown trees stood before her. She moved forward ever so slowly towards them, biting her lip to fight the pain off.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The shotgun shell ripped through her right side, spraying her black jacket with more blood. MissM sighed and turned, eyes half-open and delirious.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

This shot blasted right into her left thigh, ripping the flesh out from her bone. Freak looked at her from over the barrels of his empty smoking shotgun, dropped it, and walked forward remorselessly, axe in hand. MissM tried to crawl back, but Freak was onto her quickly.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The axe stung into MissM like a huge bee. It thudded right into her left shoulder and struck at her shoulder bone, miraculously not severing it. She threw her head back and groaned, and Freak looked at her once, long and hard. He then looked back and nodded once, backing away slowly from MissM.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The shotgun blast ripped through her lower back, exploding into the bare side on it. An ugly, gaping black wound was suddenly created on her flawless skin, which welled up and almost immediately sprayed blood out. MissM lifted her head for an instant, then it fell back and she was whimpering and groaning.

Michelle stood there, smiling at her. She aimed at her again, and pulled the trigger, a loud evil cackle resonating out from her lips.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The shot caught MissM on her chest, blasting a hole right through it. MissM's head fell backwards, her eyes seeing bright red stars everywhere. Michelle walked over to her, dropping the now-empty shotgun and transferring her axe into her right hand. She was onto MissM in a flash. MissM lay groaning and bleeding, a weak hand slowly reaching for her HPs purely by instinct. Michelle lifted her right leg and brought down her heavy, shining stiletto heel of her hunting boot straight at her chest wound. She ground it savagely on the fresh wound with all her might, shrieking once in absolute delight. MissM screamed and groaned, grabbing at Michelle's leg weakly.

The worst part was yet to come.

Michelle's cruel game of brutality was not done. She looked wild and maniacal. Her eyes swung towards MissM's outstretched right hand, and thoughts of MissM swinging the machete at her flashed through her mind. She leaned down and grabbed MissM's right hand in one sweeping motion, and lifted her axe high. MissM's eyes opened wide in sheer terror for one instant, and a loud whimper escaped her lips.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The axe swung right through MissM's right shoulder, cutting off her right arm from the rest of her body!!

MissM's screams filled the afternoon air and did not stop. Her right shoulder sprayed blood out in long, big spurts from the severed wound. Michelle held MissM's right arm for an instant, before dropping it right on MissM's chest. She let go of the broken axe, and bent over at MissM's face with gnashed teeth and wide, malice-filled eyes.

"Next time, think of this before you attack me, b****!" Michelle roared at MissM's face.

"She's over there, in those trees," Freak said. He was shaking slightly, apparently taken aback by the intense savagery he had just witnessed.

He noticed this. So Michelle has had her revenge, he thought and put a hand on Freak's shoulder. Freak looked back at him, and he nodded towards the direction of the gates. Freak shrugged and walked forward, and he gripped his shotgun and axe tightly and walked towards where Freak had pointed.

Zero looked at him as he passed by the tree where Zero had climbed up. GreenDemon felt someone's breathing above him, and stopped long enough to take a long peek at the red-headed monkey man. Zero froze. GreenDemon shook his head at him, and continued walking forward. Zero had held his breath, and let it out slowly in a relief as he watched the receding figure of GreenDemon in the distance.

MissM's screams had not stopped this time. Her mouth was still opening, but no sounds came out of it except long, labored whimpers. The ugly crimson stump on her shoulder was still spurting out blood by the streams. Her mind was getting overclouded by darkness and her mind was screaming messages at her body.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The shotgun blast turned her over to her right, the severed right stump burying into the ground. MissM's right hand fell down near her and she coughed up blood, her mind numbing with the jolts of pain her nerves were throwing at it.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The other shell thudded straight into her back again, catching her right between her shoulderblades. She was a sticky and bloody mess by now, HPs covering some of the wounds on her like the blessings of an angry red God to a severely wounded angel.

GreenDemon dropped the shotgun and came forward, clutching the axe tightly. The messy body lying in front of him made him feel no remorse or pity, however. He lifted his axe high and brought it down right at MissM's left side.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The wicked axe blade ripped into MissM's side, opening up her tummy so far that her guts were visible. MissM's mind was in complete, pain-numbing darkness by now, and she was slowly slipping under.

Your game is over, GreenDemon thought quietly, looking at the last HP remaining inside MissM's backpack. One more attack remains, and that should finish you up. Those were his last thoughts as he trodded back towards the gates.

A huge, bloody and gooey mess of a human being lay on the ground where once someone called MissMacabre, of the Raging Phantoms, once laid.

Barely alive, still breathing, unconscious.


Nightmare Of Death was in a fix. She was clearly given instructions on whom to hunt down, but her conflicting loyalties told her otherwise. She thought it all over, long and hard, and finally came to a decision. She walked towards the right, instead of going north to where her instructed target lay.

She quickly came to a stop. Someone was looking straight at her from the trees in front! Those big, scared eyes belonged to Demon Seed!

As soon as NOD and he exchanged looks, DS jumped out from the trees and made a mad dash towards the rocks on the right. NOD recovered instantly and quickly lifted her shotgun, squeezing the trigger rapidly twice.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The shots were fired almost simultaneously. DS took the full brunt of both of them on his back and was thrown forward, sprawling into the ground in front of him. He felt the biting pain rush up his body from across his back where the two huge punctures were releasing blood. NOD walked forward to him and lifted her axe. DS shrieked loudly.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

The axe ripped through DS's neck, almost cutting his head off! He screamed again and grabbed at his neck, trying to cover the blood gushing out of it. His left hand reached for his HPs, as NOD dropped her shotgun near him. The deed is done, NOD thought as she turned towards the gates.


Three team members reached the place where MissM lay, just after the sun went down.

"Jesus, she's in a very bad shape," one said.

The second one pulled the last HP out of her backpack and applied it to her severed shoulder stump.

"Well, let's not just stand here," barked the third. Quickly making a makeshift stretcher using some vines and two big-sized broken branches, they lifted MissM's mangled and torn body carefully into it. One of them grabbed her severed right arm, and off they went towards the gate in a silent procession.

Once inside, they walked over to the Medic Center. Two medics rushed out holding an empty stretcher. They transferred MissM's body, and the one who had her right arm gave it to the doctor who had come out behind the medics.

"Can that be attached back to her?" he asked.

"We will try. We did that to a redheaded guy who was brought in earlier from the Bloodbath Chamber, but he was brought in quickly. Someone else lost their fingers too, and they were not found in time. The body part loses blood, muscle tone and withers off if not attached back within a certain period of time. Simply put, it loses its life and becomes useless. No gurantees in this case too, because some time has passed since it was cut off."

The last Phantom standing quietly looked at the doctor's name tag, before looking up at him.

"Thanks either way, Dr. Neverending. She is pretty important to us and we will be waiting to hear from you on the progress she makes," his voice was strained.
