Sector C:

Someone yanked NE out of the water again. He was bleeding in torrents, his body in the throes of spasmic activity as he strugged to stay alive. A bunch of HPs were quickly applied to his various wounds, and NE breathed easier again.

DISEASE let out a sigh of relief. He knew he had pulled NE back from the jaws of certain death. Just then, Disease heard soft footfalls from very near him and, taken by extreme surprise and alarm, he jumped up and ran into the bushes ahead. In doing so, Disease dropped a HP near NE.

NE was breathing heavily, but slowly getting back to normal again. He didnt hear the footsteps, and sat quietly, letting the HPs heal his broken-up body. He spotted the HP on the ground in front of him and made a motion to grab it. Just then, a pair of hands reached down to stop him and pulled him back.

The hand picked up the HP from the ground, and brought out another bunch of HPs with it. All 6 of them were stuffed into NE's bag. NE looked up at the new saviour. ROSHIQ grinned back at him.

NE tried to say something, but all he managed was a weak croak. Roshiq propped him back on the tree and looked around. Spotting something or someone in the distance, Roshiq's eyes widened. He looked left and right quickly, and disappeared from where he had come.

For NIGHTMARE OF DEATH came through the trees, holding the huge Rocket Launcher in front of him. She spotted NE propped up near the tree, and lifted her Launcher up. She aimed carefully, and fired.

HISSS!! HISSS!!

Both rockets hurled at tremendous speeds, and exploded in a huge continuous impact around NE's body, which became a mangled and black mess of flesh and dark, thick blood. NE's almost torn and flailed limbs were opened up with wounds everywhere, and the last 6 HPs in NE's bag worked a losing battle over his wounds. Ne sighed deeply once, and let himself go near the edge of the tree. His body rolled down the slope heavily, and he landed in-between a bunch of red bushes, spasming uncontrollably again.
