SAY HI TO A FRIEND

Five observed that the shot Neo, though declared dead by his now red peace emblem wasn't dead. He was still breathing fine and was also staring back at him.

He looked at his jacket where he was shot, but there was no sign of blood.

The bullet from the gun was an airsoft bullet, designed only to Sting a little but wasn't lethal enough to kill someone.

It seems the task was only to simulate a real combat scenario. From his acquired knowledge about a gun he knew that the bullet came from a sniper.

He now finds himself in a troublesome situation, the sniper completely has the upper hand here and he is simply a sitting duck right now.

If he makes any movement that reveals him, he'd be shot dead immediately.

The sniper, who was in black camouflage. Was completely patient, being in no rush at all.

His breath was calm and his focus was on the telescope on the sniper. He knew it was only a matter of time before he made his next kill.

He was lying flat on a small hill, which gave him a good Vantage point to see everything going on in front of him.

He knew, Five was hiding behind a tree, but there was no way he could shoot him.

He could go down there to finish the kill, but being in the same sector as Five he knew what a formidable fighter he was, and this was even proven between his fight and the Neo just now who had no chance against him at all.

He witnessed the whole thing through his telescope, had a little tinge of regret now, and felt that he should have taken out Five instead, before shooting the Neo.

But now they were both locked in a standout, waiting for each other to make a move.

One thing he forgot though, is that he wasn't the only one hoping for a easy kill.

A figure in blue camouflage slowly crept up behind him with little or no sound at all from his steps

The figure released a sudden chop blow on the left side of the sniper's neck accurately hitting his carotid artery and knocking him out immediately.

He turned him over and indeed his emblem already turned red.

The figure then ransacked his pants and found two energy bars which he immediately pocketed in his pants

He picked up the sniper rifle and checked the number of bullets in it, which was only three.

The figure then jumped down the little hill with the rifle and began making his way towards Five's direction.

Five heard the coming footsteps and was confused as to why the sniper chose to come towards him, it seemed he was tired of the little wait and wanted to get closer.

After thinking about this, a smile suddenly adorned his lips. Cause if this was it, he was sure he would be able to maneuver his way and take him out easily.

But suddenly the footsteps stopped, and the next thing that came next was a voice he could recognize anytime anyway.

"Won't you at least say hi to your friend?" Forty-four said with his usual mischievous voice, though a little thicker now.

Five's smile immediately grew wider. He slowly took out the knife in his thigh and threw it towards a tree on his right.

This diverted Forty Four's attention to the knife which was now embedded in the tree. He immediately realized it was a diversion, but it was a little too late cause Five had already closed up on him.

Before he could react, the sniper rifle was kicked out of his hand and another kick was coming straight to his chest, which he quickly blocked by placing his two arms in front of his chest, but he was still pushed back a little.

Before Five could attack again, he decided to go on the attack by moving forward and sending a punch, but Five easily blocked it by holding his hand dragging him forward, and tried to knee him in the stomach.

But Forty-Four was fast enough to use his hand to push back the knee and also free his hand that was held down by suddenly making it bigger with his shape-shifting ability.

He then created a little space between them, but before he could raise his head, he saw a pistol being pointed at him.

He looked at the gun holster on his leg, it was still there but now it has no gun in it. He slowly raised his hands in the air and looked at Five who was pointing his pistol to his face with an expressionless face.

In another part of the Island, an Expendable was running at full speed. He constantly looked behind him as if someone was chasing him, which was exactly what was happening.

The huge figure of One Thirty can be seen from a little distance behind giving chase to the Expendable who was scared shitless by the murderous glint in his eyes.

The Expendable ran with his full might all the while cursing his bad luck of running into One Thirty of all people.

He knew he had no chance against him. Everybody knew his ability was super strength, but he never knew he had very durable skin as well.

He got lucky to have been given a pistol as a weapon, but all the bullets were wasted on One Thirty's tough skin.

As he ran he looked back again and saw that he was gradually gaining on him, leaving him to wonder how he could be so fast with his massive build.

Even if the speed he was running was already inhuman he continuously willed his two legs to go faster.

He stumbled and fell several times, but immediately picked himself up again and continued running.

Suddenly a foot hit him on his chest violently sending him back and falling on his back with a heavy force.

The owner of the foot soon revealed himself, as he stepped out from behind the tree he was hiding, it was another Neo.

He looked back and saw One Thirty standing behind him as he already caught up with him.

He slowly stood up and clenched his fist ready for a fight. He knew he had no chance going up against two Neo, but if he was going down at least he would go down fighting.

He was still yet to make any move when the newcomer stretched his hand and a violent gust of wind sent him hitting a tree violently, knocking him out immediately and his emblem changing to red.

The Neo then looked at One Thirty and walked close to him." Boss, the Expendables surely don't have any chance of surviving on this Island with us here." He said with a fawning smile on his face.

One Thirty smiled and looked him in the eyes. "You are wrong, no one will have a chance of surviving on this Island with me here."

The Neo was still yet to comprehend what he meant when he was suddenly seized by the neck and lifted his feet by One Thirty.

He immediately started choking him, and soon enough the Neo's eyes turned bloodshot red as he struggled against the pincer-like hands on his neck.

He was about to use his ability to separate the both of them, but One Thirty didn't give him the luxury of that.

He threw him toward the same tree the Expendable was previously sent to and he also was knocked out falling on top of the unconscious Neo.

After confirming that the Neo had been declared dead, One Thirty checked his watch for the number of survivors left. Including himself they were now 130 left, he chuckled at the coincidence ."A perfect number." One thirty said to himself.
