Sector C:


NOD came through the bushes, her body on fire. She knew she was the target of her team by now, and she was going to pay dearly for her misgivings.

A low mumbling voice came from the tree on her right. NOD wasn't sure, but the words she heard was "necktie...necturn....nickle...its defiantly an n word...." She froze up, and craned her neck in that direction.

Michelle was looking straight back at her! When their gazes met, Michelle smiled and waved at NOD, lifting her weapon up.

NOD took a step back in alarm.

THUNK!

NOD turned.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

NOD never had the chance to run. The explosion made her fly through the air and hit the tree in front heavily, as numerous cuts and wounds opened up all over her legs and back. She fell down at the base, and reached weakly for her HPs. Suddenly she felt emptiness where her left arm should be. She checked in astonishment and saw that her left arm had been ripped off her body! The stinging pain came searing through the left shoulder at that exact moment. NOD opened her mouth to scream, but clamped it shut again. Rustling sounds on her far right made her alarmed, and she peered in that direction. She had no strength left, and was bleeding profusely.


DS came slowly out of the trees. The sight he had seen just now made his legs shake, and he had forgotten all the aches and pains his body gave out for some temporary moments. What the hell was that...THING?!, he wondered. He was so lost in his mind's sights of The Return being ripped into pieces, that he had forgotten where he had wandered into.

THUNK!

The grenade came flying out of nowhere, and landed right in front of DS. He looked at it puzzled, as if not knowing what it was for an instant. When realisation hit DS's eyes, it was too late.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The explosion tore through DS's right leg, shredding it right off the rest of his body! It fell heavily on the right side as DS went flying back, screaming. DS grabbed at his HPs and stole a glance at his severed leg, then howled in immense pain.

Doc Faustus nodded to himself, as if appreciating the shot. He blew the smoke out of his Grenade Launcher's barrel, and dropped it into the ground.



Sector E:


NOD was running out of HPs, fast. She checked her backpack and noticed that she had only 2 left. She knew she wouldn't last long. From where she was hiding, she could see the entire small valley below her. A glint of metal shined through the trees nearby, and NOD became alert.

GreenDemon came climbing through the small bushes, and looked at the hillock in front of him. His eyes wandered towards the top, and right at the Grenade Launcher pointed towards him!

GD's eyes stopped in alarm.

THUNK!

GD took a step back. The grenade landed near his legs.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The grenade exploded mercilessly. GD went down in a heap, his legs ripped off their flesh and fresh boiling blood pouring out of both of them. NOD smiled at the sight and tried to get up, but her searingly aching body didn't follow her mind's orders.


FreddyMyers blinked at the sight in front of him. Yes, that's right, come to me you bastard, he thought grimly. DS had limped into the area slowly, his severed right thigh stump patched up with a huge HP. He reached for the stem of a thick tree and stopped to catch his breath. His body was shaking, a jolt running through it every now and then.

THUNK!

DS jerked up his head instantly.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The grenade exploded with all it's might. DS thudded back into the tree he was leaning on, and roared in excruciating pain. Somehow with a superhuman effort, DS pulled out the last 3 HPs which he had with him to patch himself up, as Freddy looked on satisfyingly.



Sector G:


GD patched himself up the best he could and then looked back up at where NOD had fired at him from. He immediately grabbed his Grenade Launcher and started striding towards the right of the hillock. A small path meandered between the trees towards the top, and that's where he was headed. NOD noticed this, and lifted herself upward. She was not going to stay and be a sitting duck, roasted.

GD had run straight into the path and had disappeared from sight. NOD limped forward, walking unsteadily for a bit before falling down heavily into the ground again, her body giving up. She pulled herself forward on all-fours, and was continuing to do so when GD came upon her from a distance.

GD aimed.

THUNK!

The grenade landed near NOD's right side. NOD closed her eyes, and sighed in silent resignation.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The impact of the explosion nearly blew NOD's body into two. Her side ripped open and guts flew out of it, as she grabbed at the wound and rolled about in pain. She somehow pulled her final 2 HPs out and patched herself the best she could, pulling her guts back in. She lay there quietly, Slightly Wounded and bleeding.

Take that, GD thought fiercely.


DS had limped into this area, and had heard the explosion in front of him. He stopped and leaned on a tall rock nearby. Satisfied that he was alone, he lowered himself and sat down to take a breather.

THUNK!

The grenade came flying down from the top of a tree, and landed squarely near DS's right side.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The ground shook all around DS, and his chest opened up a huge blackened wound which coughed out blood by the rivers! DS's eyes watered and his mind started to numb out into darkness. He lay there, breathing heavily first, then in short bursts. His body started spasming and huge jolts of pain put his nerves on fire. He was Severely Wounded, and didn't have much to go on. Fighting back the dizziness and darkness, he crawled forward.
