*I start after Max, but am thrown down the hill when someone blasts me in the back. The shot sends sparks into my eyes and radiates pain and I know that the gun was set to something more than stun. I find myself at the bottom of the hill lying on my back. A drac comes up to me, stops, and says: "Tell Max to stay away from us". He kicks me hard in the side and then goes out of my field of vision. The sparks start to clear and I try to get up*

*I'm fading fast - I can feel every one of my cuts and bruises, and I'm frankly amazed I'm still upright. I see a drac about to shoot Gear, so I shoot the drac in the shoulder, then duck his return fire. As I turn around to check on everyone, I realize I don't see Lady anywhere*

*I see a trio of killjoys nearby, two males and a female, and aim at them. I have a clear headshot, but just as I pull the trigger a drac runs up the hill and takes the hit. I curse and lower my gun; the killjoys have seen me and ducked around the side of the hill. I realize Red's not behind me anymore and turn around to see her on the ground. The strange thing is that there aren't any killjoys in the immediate area. I go back to her* What happened?

*I shake my head and slowly get up. Hopefully my body conveys my message: doesn't matter. I look around, but I've lost my last gun. I take out my second grenade and point to the group of killjoys*

*Lady slowly comes back to conciousness. At this point, both her hands and her legs are cuffed, she has a cloth tied over her mouth and her gas mask has been removed, along with both her guns. The van hasn't moved.*

*I stare at her for a moment, scowling, but then turn to look down at the killjoys* Yes, go ahead. Is that your last weapon?

Lady! *I keep fighting, trying to count off the killjoys I see - Poison and his sister, Retro and Gear are near me, Panda is on the other side with Acid and Grizzly, but I definitely don't see Lady. Then I notice several dracs standing by a van, instead of joining the fight, and I get a sinking feeling. I shoot in their direction, and my suspicions are confirmed when they fire back a few times, but don't move to follow me*

*I hear Arson call out for Lady. When I don't see her myself I follow her gaze and realize what she knows. I let out a stream of curses and fire more frantically and angrily. I send down a few Dracs but there's more. We've probably taken down at least half but we're exhausted. Most of us haven't slept in days. My leg hurts and headaches became a migraine. The gas cloud makes it difficult to see and I have to do a double take to make sure I'm not aiming at my friends*

*It takes Lady a little while to realize where she is. It tooks even longer to realize that she's disarmed. She hears someone shouting for her, but doesn't know who it is.* Mmf...who?

*The drac that Arson shot for me staggers back, giving me a chance to hit him in the chest open-handed. He falls backwards and I try to stun him, but the attempt wipes out the last of my battery. I flip the gun around in my hand and bring the stock down hard on his head, knocking him out. Then I hear Arson and see the van, and start moving in that direction. We might all die here, but better to die fighting than get taken back to the city for their experiments*

*I see the killjoys start moving towards the van, and pass Red my extra knife* Find a way to warn me if you're going to use that grenade. Let's go say hello.

*I feel a sharp burn on my thigh. The adrenaline is wearing off and the laser grazes burn. I'm in pain and I'm tired. Half of my ducking is collapsing. A draculoid agent comes close to me and aims. I instinctively dive out of the way but I trip and end up landing on top of him. He rolls over on top of me but I knee him and steal his gun, stunning him in the process. I yell over at Poison* PLEASE TELL ME YOUR TEAM HAS THE SATELLITE DISH READY!!?

*I get close enough to the van to start trading shots with the dracs, but they have an advantage because they don't have to worry about crossfire*

*I start towards the killjoys, circling so that the van is always between myself and them. When I step out from around the front of the van, I see that the closest killjoy is the one I backed up the hill earlier. Bad luck for him.*

*The knife feels cool in my hand. I nod and put the grenade back in my pocket, following Max. When he starts to circle the van I take a running start and jump on top of the vehicle and crouch. My shoulder and side throb, but I ignore the pain and wait for Max to attack.*

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
