RESULTS OF THE HUNTING ZONE OUTING NUMBER FOUR


Both losing teams ran into the Zone almost simultaneously and dispersed without much talking, except for some silent nods of agreement between some members of the Raging Phantoms.

They were followed in by the Zombie Warriors, who yelled loud war cries and jumped around a lot, possibly from their happiness and excitement for finally getting to fry some collective ass. They then gathered together and discussed some stuff in a low voice, although two team members had other ideas of their own. They then disappeared into various parts of the Zone.


SECTION 1:

Rayne came through the bushes and looked at her left and right. She was wary and slightly apprehensive, and looked at some rocks on her right carefully.

She was so immersed in concentration to make out whether someone was hiding behind those rocks, that she failed to notice the long barrel of the Magnum pointed directly at her from above a nearby tree.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Rayne took a couple steps back, more with extreme surprise than the impact of the bullet which had thumped into her right side. She bent over slightly, as the second shot came whizzing through.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Rayne doubled over and stumbled down into the ground. She grabbed at her HPs and turned, fighting back the stinging sensations that were clouding her mind.

The figure had fallen down from the tree on the ground just behind her.

"Gosh, it works! What a recoil!" Ferretchucker was in awe as he picked himself up and gazed lovingly at the deadly weapon in his hand. He pointed it again at Rayne with a huge smile.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Rayne could only open her mouth to protest, as the third bullet thudded into her back and ripped it open. Ferret went flying back and fell down heavily again. "Weeeeeeeee! That was fun!" Ferret was smiling gleefully.

Rayne fought off the blinding pain searing through her body and slowly crawled into the bushes in front of her.



Sector 4:


Dude Guadalupe waited silently, his ears perked up for the slightest sound around him. The soft chirping of the birds and some indistinct sounds made by small furry animals inside the undergrowth were the only ones reaching his ears.

Till then.

The regular sounds were broken by something heavy creaking on the dry leaves. Dude stiffened and held his breath, immediately looking in that direction. The sounds had come from his left, and Dude lifted his Magnum slowly to point in that direction.

FreddyMyers had come through, and was scanning the area in all directions. Dude cursed under his breath once, then set his lips grimly. Freddy had finished his scrutiny, and was motioning to someone behind him to follow him. Dude looked on curiously.

A figure hobbled through into Dude's sights, patched up everywhere! Aha, impressive teamwork!, Dude thought as he licked his lips. He had recognised who it was, and pointed the Magnum directly at the figure, and pressed the trigger rapidly.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

The bullets raced through the air and thudded softly into the figure's chest and tummy, and it slowly fell down backwards with a thud.

"MISSMACABRE!" Freddy yelled while whirling at the sound of the shots, and raced towards the fallen figure.

MissM was grunting, trying to stop her blood from flowing by her hands. Freddy instantly pulled out 2 of his own HPs and patched up MissM the best he could.

She is running around with her very own medic, Dude thought ruefully as he dropped his empty Magnum.


Chronogrl had turned around, very surprised. Those were shots from a Magnum behind those trees, she thought worriedly, creases on her forehead. She couldn't think more, because just then Rayne came limping through the bushes on Chrono's right!

Chrono's eyes widened at Rayne's sight. Rayne froze instantly.

Both women looked at each other in the eye - one's eyes slowly narrowing and turning brutal, the other's still wide with apprehension and fear.

Chrono lifted her Magnum.

Rayne turned and dived without thinking.

Chrono pressed the trigger.

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

BLAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Rayne didn't have enough time to disappear into the bushes she had come through to escape Chrono's sight. Two bullets tore into her back and one ripped through her right thigh, and she went down with a huge groan. She clutched at her HPs, and Chrono dropped her Magnum quietly, forgetting about what she was thinking before targeting Rayne.


Somewhere nearby, Dude had stood up in surprise himself. Those couldn't be Magnum shots near me, he was thinking worriedly.
