STORY
The group of five stood in a circle facing outwards. Their foes were just out of sight, regrouping outside of the two doors on either side.
“What’s the plan?” asked Zed.
Reed replied; “Personally, I’m getting sick of this country and being shot and kidnapped and taken away all the time. I say we enact a crime reduction policy through the happy medium of pellets.” He raised his shotgun and blasted a hole in the wall.
“Well apparently, the Mexicans build their walls out of titanium,” commented Adessi, as the pellets ricocheted around them. He pulled out his knife with a view of outflanking the enemy. He looked up to the opening; “Someone boost me up the-” He did not have time to finish his sentence. Him had picked him up by the scruff of the neck and thrown him out through the roof.
“You scare me, sometimes. Do you know that?” said Slade. With a chuckle, Him started to spin like a top, sinking into the ground. He burrowed deep before shouting “COME ! COME ! BOOOOOM”
“I think he wants us to follow him in and set off explosives,” said Zed.
“Well that could go terribly wrong in so many ways,” replied Adessi, whose head spoke down from above.
Shots sounded. The enemy was making its move.
Zed let out a howl of pain as a crimson spray erupted from his chest.
“He’s hit!” shouted Slade, who dived for cover, dragging the wounded man with him. As he hit the ground, he felt a pull behind his neck. “Have I been shot as well?”
But Slade was not the only one who felt the tug. The rest of the companions knew what it meant, and they braced for travel. A flashing light engulfed them and they flew, faster than time itself, crushed through black holes and stretched over aeons. The rush of millions of years deafened them as they cut across lifespans and hurtled through matter. All turned dark.
Unknown location, Unknown time
“Arrgggggh, I will never get used to that,” groaned Adessi, getting up. He looked around. “Bloody hell, it’s hot here.”
The other companions seemed to have had sat up. “Jungle... great,” commented Slade. “The one place where being completely naked is the most dangerous. Mosquitoes, other insects, who knows what animals.”
Him proceeded to regurgitate his customary pair of shorts, which he donned, cheering.
“Who transported us?” asked Reed.
Before he could get a reply, Adessi gave a shout, pointing at the one companion who had not moved since arriving. Zed, his chest spurting jets of blood, was twitching on the ground.
“Someone do something!” cried the fallen companion feebly.
“It’s quite hard when we don’t have our equipment on us,” replied Adessi.
“Well we haven’t lost completely everything,” replied Slade, noticing Mr Jinx, the cat he had picked up in the train, sniffing around.
“I’ll put pressure on his wound,” shouted Reed, “There doesn’t seem to be an exit wound so at least it’s his only injury. Someone go try and find... something. Something to help ! If he keeps losing blood, he won’t last very long !”

Zed is shot. The companions transport to an unknown jungle in an unknown time.
Zed is rapidly losing blood as his fellow travellers struggle to keep him alive.
