RESULTS OF THE HUNTING SEASON - ROUND OF THREE


The timeline clock reveals this :-


- Hunter Despare hid quietly, waiting for Finalist Posher778 to come through the bushes. Sure enough, Posher did come in after a while, carefully surveying the sorroundings. Despare took careful aim, and let a rocket fly!

BLAM!

Posher778 heard the low whistle, but he didnt have enough time to dodge the full impact of the rocket. He was thrown over to one side, feeling dizzy with his body wracked in numerous pain spasms, as plenty of deep gashes and wounds sprung up all over him. By the time he hit the ground and got his HPs out, he was already bleeding profusely. 5 used HPs made him fit again, with 4 left in his possession.


- Hunter Zero looked on as Despare made mincemeat of Posher. He picked up his machine-gun and clamoured below his favorite tree, silently into the bushes. Soon, he came within range of Posher who was breathing heavily after applying HPs to himself. He picked up his Machine Gun and aimed directly at Posher's chest, then squeezed the trigger.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Six shots ripped through the air and thudded into Posher's chest. Posher gave out a loud groan and slumped forward, gathering his HPs very slowly and applying them to himself one at a time. After all 4 HPs were used up, Posher rolled to one side, wounded, some unhealed bleeding wounds making him weak.

Zero tucked his machine gun to one side and swung into the trees.

Silly unbelieving monkey, thought Despare, as he walked forward with intent to where Posher lay gasping for air amidst loud groans of wincing pain. Despare took one look at him, and re-loaded his Rocket Launcher with the second rocket he had with him.

Posher heard the click and looked at Despare with alarm and sudden dread in his eyes. Despare took aim, just as Posher tried to crawl away, and fired.

BLAM!

The rocket blasted right in Posher's chest, which burst open into loud chunks of burning flesh and sizzling blood. The immense blinding pain brought a huge wave of darkness with it, and Posher gladly merged into it with a final deep sigh.

Zero looked on, and smiled smugly.


POSHER778 IS DEAD!!


A pair of bright, white lights narrowed within the branches of a tall tree nearby. The Predator zoomed into a Finalist sitting on the top branch of another tree, and fired it's plasma beam.

THWUNK!

Zero felt a dull pain on his right side. He had swung slightly to have a better look at Posher's body, which had saved him from getting the full blast of The Predator. However, his lower back and waist area was on fire and he fell down from the tree, clutching his side. Zero howled once, and took his stock of HPs out to heal himself. 15 of them saved his life yet again, and he was fit just as the gates were thrown back open for both of them to walk back in.


And now we are down to the FINAL TWO...


Rest through the night...the next (and possibly final) Quest for both of you comes sometime tomorrow morning.
