RESULTS OF THE FINAL HUNTING ZONE OUTING
*reporting from watching the camera recordings on a portable tablet inside a helicopter, together with THREE survivors, flying away from the exploding Battle Royale island sinking fast into the deep ends of the ocean*
THE FINAL REPORT:
As soon as the Zone gates closed, ZERO immediately disappeared between a huge clump of trees. He had a specific plan in mind but wasn't ready to confront his final opponent just yet.
WEAPON X roamed around, all his senses on the alert. Not only he had to worry about Zero, but this time IT The Traveler himself had joined them as the designated Stalker! The fate of ___V___ and all of HDC hung in the balance, and it was imperative that either Zero or him, or both, had to be successful together.
"
Psst! Over here!" a silent voice urged at him silently from above.
Weapon X looked up. Zero had the BFG in his hand.
Weapon X lifted his hand to release the FIREBALL spell.
Time froze, for a long instant. But only a second had passed before the silence broke.
"
Hold up!" Zero hissed. "
I have spotted IT!"
"
Where?" Weapon X's tense hands relaxed.
"
Follow me." Zero swung through the branches.
Weapon X, with a nagging doubt, followed the redhead simian at a distance, hands at the ready.
As soon as they reached a huge clearing, with a waterfall away on their right surrounded by clumps of trees on all sides, Weapon X could make out a light shining on the waterfall's right. He glanced at Zero up above, who had stopped moving, staring intently at the same light.
"
Let's hit IT. Hard. Together." Zero's voice was determined, but quivering as well.
Weapon X didn't blame him. Who knew if they could cause any sort of damage to IT, or maybe get vaporised immediately as soon as they came within IT's sights?
But, they had no other option.
Weapon X nodded, silently. Zero started moving again, this time a lot more slowly. Weapon X crawled and hurried through the bushes and shrubs, trying to keep himself out of sight of the light ahead.
The light suddenly dimmed for a moment, then started to burn brightly. So brightly that the leaves on the trees wilted, and Weapon X had to cover his eyes.
Zero was surprisingly calm. He had spotted IT's double mounted plasma cannons, and invoked an IMMOBILIZER spell to fire directly at IT!
BHRACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!
The huge yellow flame hit the plasma cannon barrel on IT's right shoulder, and the huge explosion afterwards blinded everything in the area. Zero closed his eyes and opened them again, this time letting out an audible gasp!
IT The Traveler hung in mid-air, no evidence of even a scratch on IT's body! Worse still, IT's plasma cannons were completely undamaged, and were squarely trained on ZERO!!
"
Ulppp!" Zero's mouth went dry.
