REVENGE OF TARO'NYU THE QUEUE HUNTER
GIANT NANTANG FIGHT PART 1: (Text Edited)
Meanwhile, Carva was leading as a de-facto leader the hunters' counter-attack against their ambushers along with princess Payìva, both of them riding ahead of the other Omaticayan hunters on the backs of their respective pa'li, while Perhan'na's children Celtian and Jabar'an led Ikran Makto's flock from above.
And while riding and leading the Omaticayan hunters, both Carva and Payìva lifted their hunting bows up, placing the arrows on them, tightening their strings backwards and aiming them towards the attackers, both rogue Na'vi riders and these nantang-like beasts.
But in fact, there was not even need to aim the arrow's target, because these rogue Na'vi attacked nearly as a tight pack to gain brutal force against Omaticaya, allowing to Omaticayan hunters to cause the heavy casualties to Omaticaya hunters before the close combat even started...
...and their allied clan warriors to have too easy targets.
Each Omaticayan hunter in the front lines of their cavalry kept releasing their arrows at the pack of giant nantang, aiming to their feet and their breathing holes in their chests, and the rogue Na'vi, who strangely weren't shooting any arrow at Omaticayan hunters at all.
Less than a couple dozen giant nantang and their riders fell to the arrows of Omaticaya hunters, but behind of the fallen ones was still plenty of them, who filled the gaps of the first lines of their own fast approaching cavalry after each fallen rogue Na'vi and the giant nantang.
But despite this, Omaticaya kept releasing the arrows at them.
As a princess of Clan of the Waterfall Valley, Payìva had gained the long and hard training with the use of long and strong bows. And after after years of training, Payìva had became strong, eagle-eyed and skillful archer and one of the best archers in Na'vi history... at least in the history of her own clan.
And that's why Payìva's father had gifted his daughter the ceremonial bow, which had the Pa'li's sail attached to its wooden arc's outside as a sign of its being the ceremonial bow.
And with that bow, Payìva was the first to open fire, hitting directly one of these nantang-like beasts, piercing its way through of the beast's skull and brains, killing it instantly. And as the lifeless beast fell over the ground, it tossed its rogue rider roughly against the ground.
Payìva fired two shots more, two of which hit directly and killed two more of these beasts.
Then, it was Carva's time to release his arrow at the rogue cavalry on the backs of the beasts.
But, unlike Payíva, Carva didn't aim at the giant nantang but he aimed instead at the rogue Na'vi in the backs of the giant beasts.
Carva's first released arrow flew through of one rogue Na'vi's chest, and the speed of the arrow caused the rogue Na'vi to lean backwards that he eventually fell off his mount's back to the ground.
And Carva's next released arrow flew through of the next rogue Na'vi's head, knocking him immediately off the giant's nantang's back,
However, as the pack of nantang-like beast approached them, Perhan'na rode in front of their cavalry.
"Stop! Halt your fire!" Perhan'na sternly ordered!
Both Carva and Payìva were confused of this, as they looked at Perhan'na.
"Perhan'na! what are you...?!" Carva tried to protest, but he was quickly interrupted by Perhan'na.
"Just follow my lead!" That was all what Perhan'na said only to Carva and to the others riding right behind of them on the backs of pa'li.
As Perhan'na took the leadership over the cavalry from Carva, the hunter of Omaticaya then turned to Celtian and Jabar'an above of him, and ordered his children to fly higher and halt their attack until his signal.
Both siblings without the question and hesitation obeyed their father and led the flock of ikran to fly more higher above of the plains, where they halt their ikran, either floating in the air or hanging in the tree's trunks and branches, to wait for their father's signal to launch their attack against this enemy...
...while Perhan'na, along with Carva and Payìva led together the full counter-attack against these rogue Na'vi and their beasts.
"Nìwotx hawl!" (All of you, get ready!) Perhan'na ordered every hunter in the first ranks of their cavalry to get ready.
It does not take long before the Omaticaya's cavalry is in touch with their enemy cavalry.
"Tsko! Tukru!" (Bows and spears!) Perhan'na ordered, as he placed one of his hunting arrows in its place in his bow and lifted his hunting bow up, aiming an arrow straight at the enemy dead ahead.
Carva and Payìva followed his example...
...and the rest of the hunters in the backs of pa'li either placed an arrows into their own hunting bows and aimed them at their enemies, or lifted their spears above of their heads and prepared to throw them at once by the signal.
"Pey! Pey! Pey!" (Wait! Wait! Wait!) Perhan'na ordered, waiting a good opportunity before the full enemy touch, as he tensed his bow's string, and the others behind of him did the same thing.
Their cavalry and the pack of giant nantang along with their rogue Na'vi riders were not very close of each others.
And when the cavalries were about to collide at each others, the first ones in the pack of giant nantang bounced with their strong hind legs towards each hunter's pa'li in the front of Omaticayan cavalry, their fangs bared and claws out, ready to sink them into the flesh of Pa'li and Omaticayan hunters.
If Perhan'na wasn't prepared for this, knowing that they own number is too low compared to the rogue Na'vi's own, there would have be the collision of the cavalries which would have been much more catastrophic to the Omaticayan hunters...
...and the rogue Na'vi's giant nantang would have lunge each Omaticayan hunter in the front line of their cavalry and cause such of casualties that would claim nearly half of their main strength before the fight would officially break... thus leading to Omaticaya's certain defeat with already low number of warriors.
And as the cavalries were close enough of each others.
"TOLTEM!" (Shoot!) Perhan'na ordered, and released his arrow from his own bow at the rogue cavalry, hitting one giant nantang's right hind leg and causing it to collapse to the ground its snout ahead... tossing the rogue Na'vi rider off its back.
Payíva then, by her turn, released two arrows with one shot at the rogue Na'vi. One of her arrows hit one rogue Na'vi to his left eye, piercing his head, and another pierced fatally another rogue Na'vi's left side, killing them both instantly.
Carva, however, had took out one of his hunting axes, which he threw at the approaching rogue Na'vi... hitting one and slicing his head in the process, killing him.
Omaticayan hunters behind of three of them followed their leader's example right immediately after Perhan'na released his arrow, and each one of them released their own arrows and the spear-wielding hunters threw their spears towards the first ones towards them leaping giant nantang.
The arrows and spears flew over the small distance at the first ranks of the giant nantang pack.
The combined volley of spears and arrows pierced into the torsos, heads and sides of the giant nantang and the rogue Na'vi riders, injuring or even killing plenty of them, most of the front lines of the pack, in the process...
...and causing all of those giant nantang, who got both the fatal and non-fatal hit from the arrows and spears but not their riders, fell over the ground and tossed their riders off their backs to the ground, and at the same time causing right behind coming giant nantang to stumble blocks to the fallen bodies of giant nantang.
However, the combined volley of spears and arrows managed to cut down only a couple ranks from the Nantang Makto-cavalry, but there was still more of these giant nantang and the rogue Na'vi riders, and plenty of more.
When the first ones were finished off with the volley of spears and arrows, right behind of the first ranks coming giant nantang continued their attack by bouncing over their dead fellow pack members towards Omaticayan hunters pa'li, before the hunters managed to repeat their launch of volley.
Because these giant nantang were at least five times faster than their smaller relatives, even faster than pa'li, depending on the environment, their high speed allowed them to strike and take down their enemies and their mounts with their enemies fatally dizzying collisions.
And with that, when Omaticayan cavalry and the giant nantang pack finally collided at each others!
And the collision was followed almost immediately by the bloody chaos!
Most of the rogue Na'vi in the backs of their giant nantang were mostly forced to order their mounts through of their tsaheylu to dodge Omaticayan hunters and their own pa'li, now when Omaticaya hunters devastating counter-attack destroyed most of their front lines and behind of them incoming giant nantang got no time to bounce fatally over the Omaticayan hunters mounts after they had managed to pass the carpet of dead rogue Na'vi and their fellow pack members.
But some of them, either alone or with another fellow pack member, savagely lunged at nearly dozen Omaticayan hunters and their pa'li on their path, striking their jaws and fangs around of unfortunate Pa'li's necks and their claws to their breathing holes in their torsos.
The first ones who gained the upper hand at first in the collision between of these two animals, were always the giant nantang, as the large beasts either knocked over or brutally dragged down to the ground over dozen of pa'li from Omaticayan cavalry, and the collision between of two swiftly at each others running and large Pandoran animals was enough to toss roughly, even fatally, their own riders off their backs to the ground.
Some of these giant nantang merely knocked some pa'li over the ground by leaping to their flanks and keeping going afterwards - or swung their forelegs and claws towards pa'li's forelegs to make them to fall over to the ground and causing their riders to be tossed off to the ground as well - leaving the wounded animals and their riders for their fellow pack members to kill.
And some of them didn't pay any attention to the pa'li at all, but instead, they went after those Omaticayan hunters, who had lost their own pa'li to these beasts and fallen off the backs of their mounts to the ground...
...either snapping their jaws and fangs between of the fallen Omaticayan hunters limbs and dragging them away from the battlefield... or, lunging at them, snapping their jaws around of the hunters heads and mauling them to death in that place.
However, despite suffering casualties for a bit over one dozen Omaticayan hunters and Pa'li, Omaticayan hunters riding in the front lines or behind of front lines of their cavalry kept releasing the arrows and throwing their spears at both the giant nantang and the rogue Na'vi in the backs of their giant beasts...
...which was a bit difficult, especially at close range and due to these giant nantang fast and bouncing movements, and only accurate throws and accurately aimed and released arrows found their targets, killing albeit merely wounding both the rogue Na'vi and the giant nantang.
But, at close range like this, the Omaticayan hunters used their hunting spears and axes to fatally impale and strike several dozens of rogue Na'vi riders...
...as they rode through of the gaps between of riding Omaticaya hunters after their first attack partially failed and forced them to try to dodge incoming Omaticaya hunters and their own pa'li...
...killing and knocking them off the backs of the giant nantang as they rode past of them... and some of the Omaticayan hunters used their bolas against the giant nantang by throwing them to the beast forelegs to take them down.
Many rogue Na'vi were killed by this counter-attack...
...but as an respond to this, these rogue Na'vi swung their dual blades downwards while passing every Omaticayan hunter and their Pa'li, slashing their forelegs, thus wounding the animals and causing them to fall to the ground, tossing the Omaticayan hunters off their backs...
...and some of them swung their fighting staves towards Omaticayan hunters on the backs of Pa'li, either beheading them with their from the bone made blades or knocking/dragging them off their mount's backs to the ground while riding past of them.
And right after the collision of the cavalries...
...two Na'vi in the backs of pa'li were riding towards another duo of attacking giant nantang, as the beast were approaching them with the blind lust for blood. Both of the hunters were shooting the arrows with their long bows towards the duo of beasts and rogue Na'vi.
The hunters arrows managed to hit one of the rogue Na'vi and go through of his throat, while knocking him off the giant nantang's back, while one of the following arrows hit the fallen rogue Na'vi's mount's left forelegs, taking the beast down.
However, another giant nantang had gotten too close of them that it was too late to even try to bring the giant nantang down with the arrows. And as the giant nantang was close enough and right in the front, though a bit in the left side, of one of the hunters and his pa'li, the beast bounced forward with all its weight and strength, managing to cause the hunter's pa'li to fall over to the ground on its right side.
However, as the giant nantang ran past of the other hunter, whose pa'li the beast had selected as its victim, the another hunter swung his hunting knife towards the rogue Na'vi in the back of the beast, slicing his throat open and knocking him off the beast's back.
And elsewhere in the afterwards of the collision pf the cavalries...
...as one of Omaticayan hunters and the rogue Na'vi on the back of giant nantang were about to pass each others in the full pace, the Omaticayan hunter lowered his spear down that its sharp tip was pointing at the incoming rogue Na'vi rider.
Rogue Na'vi spotted the spear being lowered down and pointing at him, but it was too late to react in any way and was instantly and fatally impaled by Omaticayan hunter's spear and knocked off the back of his mount by the impact as the hunter's pa'li and overgrown nantang passed each other.
"PXISET! 'EKO! 'EKO! 'EKO!" (NOW! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!) Perhan'na signaled to his children above in the trees.
Celtian and Jabar'an delivered their father's other to the other Ikran Makto hanging in the branches and trunks, and with the war-cries crying, all twenty Ikran Makto took off into the air and plunged down through the air, towards the battlefield... Celtian and Jabar'an from front!
And without the hesitation, due to their high pace towards the ground, Jabar'an quickly lifted his bow up and aimed his arrow into the pack of giant nantang, quickly tensing the string of his bow and released... before he ordered his ikran to spread its wings and float in the air before the impact against the ground and the pack,
Jabar'an's arrow impaled one of these rogue Na'vi, killing him instantly and knocking him off his mount's back.
Celtian did the same thing as his big brother, but her arrow impaled one of these beasts heads, killing it and causing the beast to fall over to the ground and its rider to be tossed from its back to the ground.
And the rest of Ikran Makto followed their example, cutting down several giant nantang and killing several rogue Na'vi with one volley from the air.
One of the ikran flew too close of the ground, and was immediately grabbed by the nantang-like beasts jaws from the ikran's wings. The beasts' fangs tore ikran's wing into shreds, as the beasts dragged out of pain screeching ikran to the ground, along with its rider, and the poor animal was instantly swarmed by the group of nantang-like beasts and eaten alive like the hyena clan eating fatally wounded but still living zebra once in Earth's African's savannah.
And after their first attack was successeful, apart from one Ikran Makto as first casualties for the flock of ikran, the rest of the Ikran makto started to float above of the field, where the Na'vi on the backs of pa'li and giant nantang were fighting each others, giving to their own air support by picking up the perfect targets and flew to the perfect firing spots in the air - so that they would not accidentally harm their own in the process - before they shoot them to death with their bows from the air.
Celtian and Jabar'an flew close of their father, so that the siblings were able to keep an eye of their father's safety and assist him when needed... firing the arrows at their father attacking rogue Na'vi and their savage mounts!
For example, as two rogue Na'vi were about to kill Perhan'na with their long blades, Celtian and Jabar'an had turned their ikran to fly towards their father from behind, during of which they had aimed their next arrows at their father threatening rogues, tensing their strings...
...and managing to have clear shots as their arrows, both at the same time released, flew through the air and hit both the rogues, one through the neck and one through the stomach, killing them instantly.
While being supported by his children, Perhan'na placed his bow to his back and grabbed the dead rogues blades from their hands, continuing the fight against the rogue Na'vi with them.
