No Man's Land

Five Others

"Turn left, go straight on for about a minute" ordered Alfie, the team driving down the road in the car and on the bike.

"Now turn right and then right again at the first chance" he continued.

"Now go straight on, and you should reach a warehouse with no doors that you can just walk inside," he informed the team, who followed his directions.

Sure enough, they reached a warehouse, driving inside of it and parking near two trucks.

They got out of their vehicles, the people from the trucks now aiming their guns at them.

"We're friendly. We need your help" said Diane, raising her hands.

"Lower your guns." A man ordered the rest of the military, walking to the team while doing so.

"I'm the captain. Nice to meet you" he said, offering out his hand to Diane, who shook it.

"We're so happy you're here. We need your help" said Kurt.

"You're from Hollyoaks I assume? That's where we're headed anyway" asked the captain.

"We are, the place is a mess and we need help. It's uncontrollable without the help of authority, the police are powerless and the civilians are scared" said Diane.

"Good thing we're here then, because we intend to stop all of that the second we step into that village" the captain replied.

"How? I doubt you could threaten anyone into surrender" asked Bruce.

"Exactly, so if no one complies, we'll kill every last one of them, and save that village" answered the captain.

"So, will you be taking us somewhere? Do you guys have a camp set up?" Asked Kurt.

"No, absolutely not, it'd be too risky, anyone could find us" replied the captain. "We'll get back to you in a second, we need to discuss." He said, before turning around and facing his fellow soldiers.

The team then all turned around as well, gathering together.

"So where are we meant to go? Come with them?" Asked Romeo.

"No, of course not. They're hardly going to allow us to be alongside them and kill our enemies with alien technology, we'll just stay in the hideout till it's over" replied Diane.

"Hey guys, can we talk?" asked the captain.

"Of course-" said Kurt, the team turning around.

However, now in front of them were assault rifles aimed at them, by every single member of the military.

The team reacted quickly, pulling out their ray guns and shooting at members of the military, before taking cover behind the cars and trucks.

Bruce came out from hiding, killing two soldiers by shooting them in the head, the captain nowhere to be seen.

Diane fired at both legs of one soldier, leaving their torso by itself on the floor.

A few seconds later, the team gathered together behind one of the trucks, taking a chance to catch their breath.

"We need to all go out together. Three, two, ONE!" Diane shouted, all of them popping out from behind the truck guns blazing, killing all soldiers in sight, as they didn't have a chance to shoot back.

It didn't take long till every last soldier was dead, and the team took a moment to stop and catch their breath.

They all turned around, beginning to walk over to their vehicles.

However, a sound suddenly came behind, the team turning around.

They saw the captain crawling on the floor, reaching over and grabbing the keys to one of the trucks, aiming to avoid detection.

The team immediately walked over to him, aiming their guns directly at him.

"Why? Why did you try to kill us?" Asked Romeo.

"We didn't think you'd fall for it to be honest, but we did lure you here as intended. We knew you'd be desperate enough to come to us for help. You think we're real military? NO!" Shouted the man.

"Who are you then? Why are you here?" Asked Kurt.

"Yeah, that's what I'd like to know," said Bruce.

"I was hired by a client to kill all of you. Every last one" said the man with a serious face.

"Your employer just expects you to kill all of us? How stupid" said Diane.

"That's the thing. I'm not the only one. There's five others, and they're coming for you" smiled the man.

"Who?" Asked Romeo.

However, before the man could answer, the team started to hear cars in the background, looking aside and spotting multiple jeeps driving towards the warehouse.

With the keys in his hand, the man took his chance, getting up, getting into one of the trucks and starting it, then driving off.

Before the team could get a chance to chase after him, the jeeps arrived in the warehouse, multiple soldiers jumping out of them and aiming assault rifles at the team.

Diane during this, quickly spoke over the earpiece to Alfie, "prepare the car on the computer."

The Hollyoaks Knight jumped out of one of the jeeps, taking a pistol out of his pocket and aiming it at Bruce.

"You didn't think I wasn't watching you did you? You guys really are FOOLS! Well I wish I could say it's been fun but it really hasn't" he said.

The rest of the team, believing they were done for, closed their eyes, Diane however, spoke to Alfie over the earpiece and shouted "SHOOT!"

Alfie heard this instantly, using the computer to hack into the car and shoot at the soldiers.

The Hollyoaks Knight saw this and knew that he had to leave instantly, getting into one of the jeeps and began to try and drive off.

"Alfie, follow him!" Diane said, the car driving off in pursuit of The Hollyoaks Knight.

"Me and Romeo will get on the bike, you and Bruce get in the truck" ordered Kurt, the four team members getting into separate vehicles and driving off.

The Hollyoaks Knight continued to drive on, with the team's car slowly starting to catch up with him, he knew it was now or never to escape. His only chance.
