Chapter 4: Drive by shooting'
Hachaku and Patt were off the next day, having taken the time to learn about each others past. Patt came from thunder bluff, where he was raised by his father, also named Patt. He took to hunting dangerous animals, and finally decided to become a warrior when he was almost killed by a pack of giant, pissed off lizards in the badlands. Since then, he was always training, and had several attempts at love, but they all failed because of the desire to constantly be stronger. He came on the Hunt to find a woman he could make stay with him, no matter what…
That day, they had gone through thunder bluff, and were now heading to stonetalon (by this time they realized it might be easier to just build roads over those stupid round mountains, I mean seriously! I could sleepwalk over those things!).As they were passing through a large group of horde pushed them aside. They were all in a sort of uniform, a big red cloak wrapped around their waist and below, obscuring their legs and feet. On wore his differently, making it so he could walk more freely. This one also wore heavy mail armor and carried a big scythe.
Patt and Hachaku were curious about these guys, they were nervous looking, almost scared. But it was the middle of the day in a well traveled road filled with travellars, what could possibly scare them? The two tauren followed to group back to their camp, at which point they both gasped.
Before them lay a huge base of uniformed undead, trolls, orcs and tauren. All of them were working busily, and failed to notice the two warriors watching them from just out of camp. There must have been at least 800 full trained hunters, mages warlocks, warriors, shamans, rouges, and priests there. This seemed a bit to large for just funding a few women. The two tauren decided maybe they could sneak in and find out what was going on.
They ambushed a small 3 guy patrol, and took their robes and armor, donning them in a similar fashion. When they were done, they looked just like two of the guards. They decided they would go in, learn what they needed to, and get out.
1 hour later……………
Hachaku waited just outside the huge encampment, disturbed with what he learned. These CULTISTS were trying to SACRIFICEthe very women they sought to have in bed!
They were attempting to bring Sargeras to Azeroth, as celebration for the end of the alliance. Apparently their leader was guaranteed immense power and fortune if he did this, and had already gotten some of it. This was bad news for Hachaku and Patt…
Wait…where was Patt? He was supposed to be back 20 minutes ago!
Then Hachaku saw where Patt was. He was riding at full speed out of the encampment on his Kodo, and following him were four orcs and a troll! They were shooting at him, and casting spells, attempting to get close enough to kill him with their swords.(note: You CANNOT attack while on a mount in WoW, I wish you could, but then your mount would have to have durability, health, etc.; I allowed it here cause mount battle scenes are cooooooooool). Hachaku jumped onto his mount and rode like hell to catch up.
In 30 seconds he was riding alongside Patt. He removed his helmet and yelled "go find somewhere safe and stay there until I get back!" Patt nodded and steered off course, the orcs and the troll decided to start following Hachaku.
They sped off, pushing their wolves, raptors, and kodos to their limits. One orc caught up to Hachaku, and started hacking at him with his sword. Hachaku took out his daggers and made some quick parries, using his teeth to hold the reins. He shoved the sword out of the orcs hands, and it flew back to hit another orc in the face, killing him. He grabbed the orc beside him and lifted him off his mount. Then he broke the orcs neck with a simple squeeze and threw him in front of his kodo to be trampled. He stabbed the rider-less wolf in the back of the head with a dagger. The wolf fell dead instantly.
Hachaku started turning towards the nearby woods, and drew his sword. The remaining two orcs flanked him. He slowed his kodo down and dropped behind them. Then he shot forward and killed both with one swipe of his sword. He was about to turn when he was almost knocked off by a fireball. He looked at the source to see the troll, not laughing like most trolls do in battle, but looking grim and very, very angry. He was about to freeze Hachaku where he was, still riding, but before he could lift his hand, Hachaku slowed his mount, pulled alongside the troll, and jumped onto the raptor, stabbing the troll with his sword through the mouth. Then he stabbed the raptor and jumped off.
He got onto his kodo and headed back for where Patt was healing. He had a lot of explaining to do…
