Chapter 14
Hunting the Allies
"Price?" Hayate asked.
"I'm afraid so. It is a big task in securing the tribe from enemies." Said Olcadan.
"Alright, well you tell us and we will try to help in any way. Just one way to repay your hospitality."
"Well we have come in contact with a strange white skinned pair. They seem to be European decent."
"Europeans? How and why would they be here? I thought this place was unknown from the world?"
"We don't know ourselves. We suppose they wandered here just lik you two. However, we want them gone. They have been reported to have killed members of our tribe."
"Well, if you need us, Hayate and I will aid you."
"Thank you both. We will also send some of our finest tribesmen to aid you." Said Rock.
"Ztsal! Quintz! Matrtaada! Front and center." Commanded Dialgia.
"Three men entered the tent. Each armed with different types of weapons.
"These are our finest warriors of the Wiyot tribe. They will aid you on your quest. " Said Olcadan.
Rock then stood up and began to introduce the warriors to Hayate and Hotsuma.
"Ztsal, Quintz, Nambo, azue dnal abal quintomeno. Baku apus sap namiste. Doku kobe baltzu ste ey Hotsuma ey Hayate."
Hotsuma and Hayate were interested in their language. It was gutteral and rough. They had absolutely no idea what was going on. Rock soon spoke to the two in normal language.
"Forgive me, we will send Bangoo to aid you as a translator if you need."
Dialgia began to speak.
"Ztzal is an excellent swordsman. He single-handedly beat me and Rock in a duel. He is brave, strong and well known and even feared in the tribe. Quintz is a great staf and archer. One time he was able to pin a fly to a tree from a great distance away without killing the fly. Nambo is a great tactician and is very intellegent. He is able to utilize any object nearby as a deadly weapon. He excells in survival and combat especially with staffs and pikes. These men will help you succeed and then some. Now please go and above protect Bangoo."
"Hai, we will. I promise." Said Hayate.
Bangoo lead Hayate, Hotsuma and the group out to prep for the quest.
The group set out into the far wastelands to the east of the tribal village, in search of the two Europeans.
Suddenly, Quintz drew his bow shot at something.
"Quintz! Mala bzau ne shiam quam ne?"
"Bangoo, bala wango truonga."
"Intruder." Bangoo silently said.
Suddenly, there was rustling in the bushes. Something was moving in a group of dead bushes.
"Mina zho! Everyone ready for battle!"
Suddenly, three guys jumped from the bushes, swords drawn and knives exposed. They jumped on Hayate who quickly impaled one of them easily. Hotsuma then
whirlwind kicked the second guy leaving him open to a third man's assault. Ztsal crushed the third man's arm and threw him high into the air. Quintz, bow loaded,
shot 5 arrows in an instant at the third man. He fell to the ground with an unholy thud sound resonating as he hit the floor. there were five arrows in the
vicinity of his heart, all perfectly impaled and in the same location. The second man tried to get up as Nambo quickly picked up a stick and kicked a sharp flint on the ground up and quickly attatched it to the end of the stick. Nambo then punctures the second man though the head.
"Who were those people?"
"Rebels. Dirty putrid rebels."
A roar came from underground. The ground collapsed from under the groups feet.
"Its not over yet."
In the pit, there were sharpened and pointed rocks awaiting to kill. Nambo then pointed his newly made spear down and balanced on it. He stood on the tip to catch each and everyone of the group. Hotsuma and Hayate proceeded to grab everyone and carry them out of the pit. As they jumped out, they came to the sight of a
massive encirclement. Men around them, armed with big swords, shields and spears. The group stared the army down. There was silence for a few seconds. Then a
man let a war cry and the whole group charged towards the group. Much fighting went on. Ztsal crushed numerous heads together, sliced off peoples limbs and
bodies. Quintz jumped on a rock and shot well over 15 men with his bow in a single draw. Nambo then took his staff and smacked the attackers away and impaled them with the flint. Hayate struck down groups of men in the blink of an eye while Hotsuma threw countless kunai at the attackers and decapitated all his victims. Even Bangoo showed his own fighting skills. Bangoo stabbed the attackers and expertly fought off men twice his size with his bare hands. After the battle, the group stood in the middle of a deathzone. Over 60 bodies were around them. If they weren't slashed or decapitated, their bodies were covered in kunai or arrows.
Suddenly, there was reinforcments which popped out of nowhere. They ran towards the group but instantly, Nambo hatched a plan. He kneeled on the ground, took a
handful of the dirt and smelled it.
"Bangoo what is Nambo doing?"
"I don't know, he's probably hatching a plan."
"Bangoo! Norlaga algle natoan zmla rukzu plwz! Hotsuma ey Hayate manto shinale!"
"Na, nora moas inguinus!" Said Bangoo.
"What does he want us to do Bangoo?" Said Hayate.
"He says that he needs you to graze the rocks and ground into some fine dust."
"Why?" Asked Hayate.
"You'll see. We Wiyots are ingenious and Nambo is not someone to be doubted."
"Alright." Hayate said skeptically, "My sword does not dull so I'm okay with this."
"Me as well." responded Hotsuma.
"Then do it! There is not much time!"
Hayate and Hotsuma proceeded to grind the rocks on the ground into fine dust.
"Good job you two. Ztsal! mas enand nedan dai makoshiou!"
Ztsal then stomped on the ground and kicked all the dust in the air.
The enemy army of well over 70 men started to enter the dust area.
"Hayate, I need you to be ready for battle. You're gonna see something cool. Ztsal zho!" commanded Bangoo.
"Bangoo, mega namd stowan dowki matoomi Hotsuma."
"Hotsuma, Nambo wants you to throw a kunai at the flint rocks he throws okay? On my command only. Don't miss."
"I never miss." Said Hotsuma in a serious tone of voice.
"Quintz! Cho mako!"
Nambo took numerous flint stones and threw then into the dust.
"Now! Ro!"
"Hotsuma threw several kunai at the rocks and Quintz shot each of them perfectly. The kunai and arrow tips created a spark from each flint. The dust was set ablaze
and fire and smoke came instantaneously. The fire incinerated the advancing army. Men were screaming and on fire.
"Sick." said Hayate.
"As the fire cloud continued to die down, the half burned survivors began to retreat.
"Hayate! Ztsal!Go! Iki!"
Hayate and Ztsal advanced and pursued the survivors cutting down anything in sight. In the aftermath of the whole battle, over 100 men laid dead.
"How did you do that?" Said Hotsuma astonished.
"Simple. The rocks on the ground are usually harvested for fire uses and cooking back at the village. The rocks are extremely flammable flints that will ignite rapidly
with the smallest spark. So Nambo planned this out because the arrows and kunai would cause a spark upon contact with the rocks. The spark would ignite the
dust in the air to form a fire cloud." Said Bangoo in a very knowledgable way.
"Wow, I would have never thought."
"Yes, lets get going, its almost nightfall and we will lose track of the foreigners."
