Hi my friends this time Bruna have to prove herself to some Predators, she has to fight if she want to be accepted by the others among C'Tack's Clan.
Why all of this? In the next chapter some of the Predators watched Bruna sparring against C'Tack, and found her worth of a challenge despite being a female.
So... what do you think about support her in this fight?
Enjoy the reading my friends!
A fierce duel
While the two leave the ring, appears a Predator looking to the girl's eyes, saying in broken English, " Challenge you ... to fight!" Bruna is in shock, C'Tack in other hand grabs him, avoiding the worst, replying enraged, "Ell-osde' Pauk...How dare you challenge my guest, hunter?"The other replied," She is prey, does not deserve to be here, with us!"Bruna holds her friend's hand," C'Tack he challenged me, so I have to answer him. "Her Predator friend hold her in both shoulders, "He'll kill you and he will your head as a trophy Bruna! Refuse please, our laws do not apply to you! "She shook his hand," I'm sorry but you are wrong C'Tack. "The Predator is shocked with what the human girl had said moments ago," What? ! It means that you will fight with him? "She nods," Exactly, first because I belong to your clan, and my honour don't allow in refuse it, and if I want to be respected by the Predators, I have to fight! "Then just say to the other predator who is looking at her, with a sly smile, "I accept the challenge!" It marks the time, and she knows right away that it must be well prepared if she want to win that Predator who defied her.
When the two friends are far from there, the other Predator is surrounded by his companions, "Are you nuts Ma'Ruack? Defy the Ooman in front of C'Tack, knowing that she is protected by him and bears the mark of our clan?" Ma'Ruack just says,"I do not know what C'Tack saw on it, Ack'Netlec, but for me,the Ooman don't have honour, and this female is no exception!" The Predator in question says, recalling that the Ooman said,"I don't think so, I don't know if you noticed but she knows how to fight very well and gave what to do to C'Tack!" Ma'Ruack just say not very convinced, "It's was lucky!" and moves away from going away to prepare for combat.
C'Tack is with Bruna and isn't very happy with the girl's decision, he don't want to see her dead, he loves her too much, "Bruna you should not have accepted it!" She turns to him a bit annoyed, "Why C ' Tack, fearing that I am too weak for him? If I want to be accepted among you have to do it! "He closes his eyes resigned," If you prove your honour, do it with your head in the right place, and for that you have to fight to protect your life! "She just says, "I'll have to do, because I'm too young to die!" He asks with a certain fear, "When is it?" He hears a simple answer, "Tomorrow after breakfast." C'Tack curious question, "What you intend to do, train? "She just says lifting her brow," I will not do anything, because I train every day, I meditate to prepare myself mentally for the battle! "He is amazed,"W... What?Bruna Are you crazy, you'll be sitting all day? "She raises her hand," Before you rush to conclusions listen, I'll do Tai Chi Chuan, which is a moving meditation, you remember when I did it front of you, a long time?" He recalled almost immediately, "Yes I remember now, you'll make it where?" She just says, smiling, "At the Keherite, not want to be bothered by anyone much less by that jerk that challenged me." C'Tack suggests, "Before you do this you don't want to eat anything?" She smiles, "Well why not?" And both were direct to the ship's cafeteria, to eat.
When arrived there they were soon met by a friend who works at the cafeteria, and this friend greeted him, "Hello, honourable Warrior, I see that you bring with you to Ooman!" C'Tack smirks, "Cut it out Varian, and Yes, she wants to eat something before going to train a little, before this challenge!"The Yatuja in question looks at the girl standing next to his friend,"The Ooman will fight against Ma'Ruack isn't it? "C'Tack nods, then continues to listen to him "All the Ship knows about the duel, this is crazy!" C'Tack is not too surprised, the news travels fast in a matter of time, then the Varian serves C'ntlip to C'Tack who willingly accepts and gives a full plate fruit and meat, "Eat Ooman, is reliable" Bruna was speechless, but then , "Whoa, he can speak English too?This is amazing, he as a British accent!" The Predator laughs at her. "Oh... he hunted in a place called, England, and had the chance in learn it!"She smiles, and is happy to have other Predator to talk with her, she thought, "Perhaps I will discuss with him a bit of Shakespeare!" .
The two friends in a matter of half an hour finishing eating their meal, Bruna only smiles while shake hands," Thank you for this wonderful meal my friend!" Varian only tells her while he gives her a bottle of C'ntlip, "I hope you won this duel Ooman, C'Tack told me everything about you, and you deserve belong to our clan." She shook his hand, smiling, "I'm glad I have another Predator who is on my side!" C'Tack made the usual greeting and both walked away.
Within a few minutes they reached at C'Tack's quarters, Bruna kept the bottle of C'ntlip on the shelf where the books were, "Who would say... Varian accepted you as one of us!" She just says while caress C'Tack's dreadlocks, "His words were genuine C'Tack, I felt it!" She gives a yawn, and C'Tack notices that she is tired, "Rest a bit, then I call up for training!" She lay in bed asleep immediately.
He withdraws the Awu'asa he had done for Bruna a long time ago, it had saved religiously, and never failed to make its maintenance, everything is in perfect condition, and puts everything in a handy place, just for her.
He lies down beside her, hugging her which causing the blind girl cuddle him, a smile forms on the Predator's face, who caresses the soft Bruna's hair and without realizing,he falls asleep.
2 hours pass and Bruna is awake, feeling that someone is on her side, and by touch knows who are, and whispers "C'Tack..." She begins to caress him thinking, "He is so caring and protective." She sighs as she continues to caress him in the face, dreadlocks, and then the four tusks, "If you knew how much I love you, C'Tack." She does not feel C'Tack's hand hold on her, "Bruna." She blushes stammering, "Well ... I ..." The Predator looks into her eyes, "What is it Bruna?" She made an excuse, "I was just taking some measures for a project, that's it!" The fingers of both interlace itself, and Bruna feels his breath, "What project Bruna?" She's taken aback but continues, "Your bust, still not finished." But she thinks to herself, sighing, "Well it's the truth."
Bruna goes out of bed, braid her hair, and drink a glass of water which was on the desk beside the bed, "Well, I got to go train, could you please take me to the Keherite, C'Tack?" He takes her hand, "Yes Bruna, I'll go with you." She grabs his hand, and both head for the Keherite.
Shortly after C'Tack let her alone in the centre of the ring, she begins to prepare to do Tai Chi Chuan, but is unaware of being observed by R'Kahr who sees her do a warm-up, or she will get hurt during training, but wonders about her presence in the ring, continuing to watch it.
Bruna remains very concentrated, so start doing Tai-Chi, the movements are fluid and synchronized, it seems as malleable as water, breathing is calm and very controlled, and involves an energy, and of course she gets on a different plan, and is thus for an hour, making the typical movements of this martial art that requires a lot of her.
Bruna is very concentrated, but feels a presence and at the same time a strange aroma of earth, but does nothing, continuing to do that workout ... at the same time is a style of meditation, she feel a positive energy to invade her body, then a kind of trance which shuts down completely to her world because of its concentration ... Bruna turns off completely from everything ... uniting her mind with the environment that surrounds it.
R'Kahr notices that the Ooman is on a trance, but what have the female to be that way? Decides to investigate, leaving his place going straight to the ring, "I have to investigate this." He puts himself in front of it, following the strange movements with his eyes, "Strange, never seen movements so synchronized and regular breathing, how she accomplish that? "Then do something he will regret a moment later, put his hand in front of it even, and without realizing it is on the floor.
When Bruna feel a movement out of the ordinary knocks the intruder screaming surprised, and it puts itself in a defence position saying, "I Don't warned that I wouldn't want be bothered?"
R'Kahr marvels at her, and because he don't understand her, tilt his head, Bruno felt that, by his vibrations, "You don't understand me?" The Predator who is in front of her makes a series of clicks, and she knows just immediately, then extends her hand to help him get up off the floor.
He finds himself thinking, "How does a Ooman put me down? She is so small and fragile, and she's weak! "He approaches her by making a series of clicks while placing his hand on her face, begins to feel the blind girl's hair and the rest of her face, but he feels her tiny hands treading his body and face, which makes him speechless, then looks into her eyes and then gets to know, the Ooman who is in his front is blind, and it is knowing him through touch.
How does a blind Ooman can have movements so synchronized and able to fight that way, does it have anything to lead it?
He should have the notion that she has accurate senses, just to compensate the other that does not work, but he didn't have, he have to ask for some explanation, and the right Yautja to do it is C'Tack.
Know she has a duel against Ma'Ruack, and will have no chance against him, he knows that this Predator is very strong, not to mention it's slick, and fears for her life.
Bruna realizes that he is very thoughtful, and it is estimated that about her, then gives him a pat to lead her out of the ring. R'Kahr feels the pulling, knowing immediately that the blind Ooman want to leave the ring to go rest, then look at her, smiling on Yautja style, beginning to think, "Ooman, I think you'll give much to talk, and I'm curious about you, and what are you hiding from C'Tack. "Both leave the Keherite, going directly to C'Tack's room.
On the following day Bruno prepares for the fight that will change her life, all with the help of C'Tack, "It's your Awu'asa Bruna." She feels it to recognize right away, "Did you save it for all these years? "He replies," Yes, I had to have a souvenir from you, that's all! "Then help her to wear the armour, but occasionally it takes his hand to caress her body to feel her soft skin.
Then the Predator start to make her some recommendations about what she will face and the techniques she will use to defeat the opponent at once, which is reputed to be ruthless with rivals, Bruna just says, "My life depends on it, and C'Tack I intend to give him much to do. "After the two left the room, going direct to the ship's Main Arena.
The trail is done in silence, and when they arrive, they are surrounded by Yatujas who are keen to see the duel will happen very soon, Bruna feels the confusion around her, and C'Tack grab her shoulder, "Relax Bruna, you will need it." The blind girl just says, "I just want silence so I can focus on my opponent, your people are so noisy!" C'Tack smiles.
Both opponents are in the combat arena, Bruna is relaxed, she do n't want to succumb to pressure, it could make a gap between life and death, and feel anger and hatred from that Predator who is next her, and that left her a bit unease, did not realize she is blind and the fight be cancelled? It is simply impossible, her honour don't permit, and besides the humans are the preferred prey of the Yautjas, and begins to hear a low roar followed by several clicks, and she does not understand the language, but he is trying to intimidate her? Probably, decides to ignore the threats and concentrate on the fight that will crash against the opponent.
C'Tack gives the signal roaring to make known to Bruna that the fight began, giving her the chance to be alert against the opponent.
Since she doesn't see, have to concentrate on its smell, vibrations and the ear to capture, on the other side Ma'Ruack begins to look at it from top to bottom, and judged it by its fragility, "It will be a easy victory, nor will know what killed her! "He ignores the Ooman that is ahead has many surprises and he will regret the mistake in having overestimated her soon enough, then attack it with the wrist gauntlets.
The blind girl feel something moving in the air, and hearing caught the sound of the blades leave it's place, then through the vibrations of his footsteps on the ground feeling him advancing to attack her.
She knows when to deflect the attack, but must wait for the opportune moment, which actually happens, when Ma'Ruack is to hit her, the girl withdraws just in time.
Ma'Ruack is amazed, how does this Ooman is able to calculate the time? I can't be so agile to prevent in being injured by his wrist gauntlets, "It's amazing, how?"
Then is time to Bruna to do her attack, then calculates where the opponent is, and decides to give a kick into full rotation that reaches its target, and she knows it because she hears a groan of pain, then moves away very quickly, in order to prepare for another quick attack, "At least I know that can take him down."
But Bruna's attack, not go unanswered, Ma'Ruack tries to hit her in the legs, to see if it disables the at first blow, but instead Bruna predicted the attack only by feeling the vibration, then she do a sweep, to her opponent and he falls.
The audience have their eyes glued on Ma'Ruack lying on the floor and on the Ooman that still stands in a defensive position, " You see that? The Ooman got Ma'Ruack toppled with a precise stroke! "Another one agrees,"I have never seen such agility in a Ooman female. "And indeed it is true they never thought they were capable of this feat.
Bruna's rapidity is a good weapon, and uses it to take some jabs on the Yautja's face, which is a little disoriented, it looks like she is in everywhere, she knows he will try to get up to see if catch her unaware, and the public without knowing it begins to destabilize her hearing, endangering her physical integrity.
Because of this she can't hear the Predator approaching, though he is on the floor moments before he used his skill in combat, may be larger and heavier than her but is very agile, unconsciously Bruna is on down with her nose bleeding, he sees the red liquid coming out her nose, laughing, "So Ooman, you didn't count with this one?" Bruna hear him laughing only because he had hit her, what a nerve. It starts to get angry, he will see he never would mess with her without the consequences, he never should mocking with the opponents, so she decides to make him pay for his affront.
She attempts to reset the bone in place but the pain is so intense, and she starts crying out loud recovering almost immediately, putting themselves in position to defend listening, "I'll get you fucker, to me this is a fight of honour, not to get trophies! "But it's caught by surprise again, Ma'Ruack hit her hard in the stomach, with a strong punch, nor felt by the hum of the crowd that had divided to support both sides.
She blames this kind of noise, since silence is very important for her to capture the opponent's movement, has to do something and soon, if she want to win this duel, "He hit me twice for my distraction, despite being larger than I, is very agile! "Ma'Ruack simply looks at it in a tone of mockery.
She starts coughing, wiping the blood on the sleeve of her shirt, getting to know who had also been wounded in the stomach and lips, but to her relief has no internal injuries, knows that its external condition is deplorable and that the odds of winning are not famous, then begins to focus the energy of her opponent, it's her last resort because the other senses are useless in that place, and actually feel it, knowing right away that her opponent will hit it with the gauntlets, and at the right time do some back flips to avoid most of the blow, and turns giving a huge jump finishing with a kick in a full rotation, hitting him on the gauntlets, removing them from his wrist, causing him back a few steps.
He does not know what to say, but he have to turn around the situation, he wants her head on his display, but have to agree, she has a good kick.
He advances on her but when he went to hit her again, Bruna sit going down while slipping between his legs, rising shortly after, then giving another punch in his back, but his reaction is futile, the human is fast.
C'Tack are seeing further action, noting that the opponent takes a long Catana, probably should have taken from a human prey, and prepares to hit her, but unfortunately can't interfere, knows that Bruna is aware of the danger of be pierced.
Bruna feels the characteristic noise a Catana being unsheathed, calculating that he wants to decapitate her, knows she has no size and strength to hold his neck, then do something else, with all her strength pulls his dreadlocks making the opponent drop the sword, then gives him a kick, which leaves him disoriented.
He recovers trying to give her a punch in the stomach but she senses again and does some back flips to avoid the worst drafting a smirk, "You overreacted me you shit head !" Ma'Ruack begins to curse, "Ell-OSDE 'Pauk Ooman." She recognizes the word, she had heard C'Tack saying that word, and raises the finger, "Up yours asshole."
Cholera breaks into the Yautja's face, she is making fun of him and insult him? Then attack her from behind and began squeezing her neck and then throws her into the ground, when the human hits the ground screams in pain, probably should have broken a rib.
Ma'Ruack takes advantage of the human weakness, take the sword to finish the fight, this time he is smiling, "Now I'm going to end your pathetic existence Ooman, prepares yourself to go with Cetanu." She acknowledges again knowing it is one of the gods of Yatujas, but knows that her end is near, but will not give as unsuccessful, "Do you think that you're the best? Be careful because I have another trick on my sleeve. " Suddenly feels the vibration of the air around it, and when the blade was going to hit her, catch it with her own hands, unable to travel further, with a fluid motion and strength combined takes the lethal weapon from his hands, giving him straight away with one foot in the stomach, causing him to retreat, allowing Bruna jump on him, beginning to give it some jabs at strategic points, which let him stunned, he still attempts to recover, but with a precise kick put it outside of the ring.
The audience is in total silence, but quickly explodes into unprecedented emotion, they are celebrating Bruna's victory, which outlines a smile, but begins to feel weakness in her legs starting to fall.
One of the presents notices and rushes to her aid, holding her, C'Tack will also goes after him, and the Yautja who helped the blind girl, hands it to the Honourable Warrior.
He is proud of her, is not everyday that a Ooman wins to a Predator with their own hands.
Ma'Ruack is fallen on the floor, the others predators are mocking him, and Bruna realizes this, who makes it very disappointed, then puts her hand on C'Tack's shoulder, "Put me down!" The Warrior does what she ask, and it follows the energy of the Yatuja who is on the floor, moments after is on his side, "Put yourself standing hunter!" C'Tack is on her side and translates for Ma'Ruack what the blind girl had told, and did just that, and two of his companions hold him down, Bruna touches of C'Tack's hand, "He must be assisted in his wounds, could you ..." He looks at her, and then only says, "Make sure he is treated hunters!" The others take the injured Predator to the infirmary, and C'Tack just says, "Come also you need to be treated, but in my chambers." Bruna smiles, but tells him, "Then I want to talk to him ok?" C'Tack take her in bridal style, going towards his chambers, "Be quiet Bruna, in time you'll talk to him." She smiled at him satisfied with what just heard moments before.
Ma'Ruack is amazed with the Ooman's and C'Tack's gesture , if it was defeated by one of his own, probably would be dead, then looks at the Ooman a bit puzzled, "Why the Ooman didn't killed me?" And continues think about Bruna's action, he wants to know the answers, then turns to one of those who were to hold him, "where is the Ooman?" He hears an answer, "I have no idea, but I can say one thing, the Ooman female gave you a monumental beating! "and start laughing at him," She took pity on you, if were one of us, you where already in the kingdom of Cetanu!" Ma'Ruack barks, " But I'm not!" And everyone is absolutely silent.
This was a slight cliffhanger folks!
I have one thing to say, Bruna has given a lesson to Ma'Ruack, despite being a human!
I appreciate positive criticism, thanks!
