Hell Forests: RTX 4000 Planet: Pinwheel Galaxy
Shishiro Botan & Tokoyami Towa
" Are you really sure about this? He is big enough to beating your ass like a Cherokee drum!" Towa whispered.
" Size does not mattered… I mean not all that much." Botan looking at her big brother muscular's body. He seem to be towering over her head as they were getting close.
Now they were preparing for a duel in the middle of the drenched forest, Ebifrion's body that being cut its head for the hunting ritual laying not too far away.
There should be a joyful dancing following the successful hunt like this, but every lion tribesman mood are so tenses for the duel between brother and sister that their trophy
is being tossed carelessly near the rotten tree trunk. Being forgotten for a moment.
" Want me to… you knows?" Towa pointing at her gun.
" if you shoot him. The rest of the pride will turn us into a mincemeat. So, please don't." Botan warned.
…
" No spear, blade or mask. Raw power like what lion would do." Nero declared the rules.
" Understood!" Botan said, swallowed.
" I beat you every time we fights. Why do you think this time will be different?" Nero asked.
" I've grown." Botan said. " And you're old." She added.
" Ha! That's funny." Nero chuckled, lowering on all four while Botan is still standing on her two legs.
Their gaze locked, but neither lion seemed to want to be the first to move.
Towa slowly walking backward. " You know what? I will watch… from here." She winced as one lion warrior suddenly moving away to give her some space.
Botan and Nero jumping at each other at the same time. They crashing midair and knocking from the sky as Nero is throwing Botan's body down with his bigger masses, but
lioness quickly climbing on the tree as they start their high speed chasing in the middle of the forest.
Nero jumping at her sister at the different tree, but Botan leaping on the vines above their heads and dodging the attack in the last minutes.
As her brother claws is sinking deep in the tree trunk. Lioness suddenly dropping herself and slamming her elbow at Nero's head with full force.
Both lions falling on the ground as Botan repeatedly punching her brother face, but Nero grabbing her hand and yanking her down before bending his legs in order to kicking
her stomach, knocking Botan from his body.
Nero jumping to gets up, but Botan cutting on tree that as big as her leg with claws, ripping the branches out in order to improving its aerodynamics.
She swings the tree like a baseball bat as Nero is jumping on all four, hitting his face and send him flying like a home run. Breaking the tree in the progress.
As her brother trying to get up, Botan jumping on his back and wrapping vines around his neck before she start pulling, trying to choke him unconscious.
Nero running on all four and trying to shake Botan down, and for a moment. They seem to be playing this weird bullfighting game, trying to make each other giving up first.
Nero suddenly jumping as high as he can and clashing with the great tree that standing in his way with Botan as a shield. The force making lioness head goes blank and
releasing her vines as her big brother grabbing lioness's neck before throwing Botan on the ground.
Botan trying to get up, but Nero already sweep kicking her leg, knocking lioness down again as he is jumping on top of her.
Botan kicking his chin to stopped Nero from attacking her, but the lion king used this chance to biting her leg before swinging Botan's body in full circle, before throwing her to
the big rock that standing not too far away, shattering it.
Botan trying to get up, but Nero jumping on all four at her and slamming lioness on the ground again with his shoulder before repeatedly slapping her with his powerful claws.
Botan blocking the attack with her arms, but she is too tired, and her brother is too strong.
In the end, Nero stomping on Botan's chest before roaring into her face. Declaring his victor against the challenger.
Lioness snarling in defiance and the act making Nero blood boiled, he stomping on her harder, ready to crushing her ribs.
" Dude! You already win. Stopped!" Towa aiming her KSG at Nero's head, ignoring every spear and blade that being pointed at her.
" Towa, calm down! You are not helping at all!" Botan choked, trying to speak.
" Are you sure? Let's me shoved 12-gauge ammo in his mouth instead!" Towa yelled, while Nero quickly responded by roaring at her face, hard enough to make Towa's hat fall
down.
" Man. He is pissed!" Demon girl exclaimed.
" Drop your gun and lower your body, slowly!" Botan ordered.
"What's next! Kissing his feet?" Towa grumbling, but lowering her body enough to staring into Nero's feet anyway.
Seeing that Towa holding no weapon. Nero turned his head toward defeated sister.
" You are officially not one of us now. Leaving the forest tomorrow or I will have your head!" He then looks at kneeling Towa.
" Two of yours." Nero added, before jumping away. Disappearing in a few seconds. His lion warriors wearing their mask and disappear by their camouflage mode, carrying
Ebifrion's head with them.
That's leaving only Towa and Botan in the empty forests. Broken and defeats.
" What's next?" Demon girl asked.
" Don't know." Lioness answered.
…
That night, Botan finally feeling well enough to dragging herself up and start healing herself, grabbing some ferns and minced it with stone in order to cover her hurting back.
She then using thread from one beetle cocoon and using its horn like a scissor and needle, closing the wounds on her leg.
Lioness then biting into the animal's body, eating it whole.
" Nene's sugoi mushi. Taste like German pig legs." She offered the second bug toward Towa, who's still watching their fire and boiling soup of powder egg on it.
" You are screwing with me again." Demon girl said, biting into the animal to test its tastes.
Botan smiled. " And yet you always falling for it."
" Screw yourselves!" Towa turning her head away, angy again.
…
After eating in silences for a while. Demon girl finally asked.
" What's next?" There are no second plan after all.
" We couldn't stay here anymore. Lion clan are up to their words. Tomorrow, they will cut our head off. If we are still around." Botan said.
" So, back to two of us again. What should we do?" Towa asked.
" I probably couldn't convinced other tribesman around here. There's nothing I can do now, except from attacking alone."
" You will get yourself killed." Towa objections.
" No other choices. You should hide and wait to regroup with your boss from dragon fleet. Sticking with me will be too dangerous-"
" You must be kidding me! Lamy is my friend, and you are too.
I won't stand still while both of you get killed.
If we are going to attacks. I recommend the auction time. That's when everyone attention will be centered on- what's that?" Towa stop her talking as water start pouring
down on her face.
" Rain, normal in the area. Most Hunter will not hunting tonight, it seems." Botan looking at the sky as their fire starting to die down.
" Why? I thought carnivore always hunt during the bad weather like this." Towa asked.
" Our equipment aren't good with water. We will lose the ability to invisible if touching it. There should be an improvement long ago. But our leader agreed that it is more
challenging this way." Lioness explained.
" In other words, if someone want to hunting the Hunter tribes. This the best time, right?" Towa asked. And Botan reaction tell her that she is right.
…
Nero is sleeping on the treehouse along with his family, as well as everybody in his pride. The rainy time like this is for them to rest, instead of going out and hunted.
Sometime, listening sounds of rain hitting his roof like this is making him-
' Target locked, ready to strike.' Unfamiliar voice reaching his ear, making Nero jumps at the same time as his house being blown away by carrot missiles.
Sending his body to crash on the wet grounds with the explosive and fire that burning despite the rains that keep falling around them.
He stumbling to gets up as multiple rockets suddenly flying from many helicopters above their head, blowing their tree villages house by house.
Light that shining from the aircraft making him winces as Nero saw group of bald man who have no teeth and seem to smiling all the time fast-roping themselves from their
helicopters toward the drenched forest floor.
Before aiming their machine guns and start shooting at everything that's moved.
'Koronesuki unit. Prepare for elimination.'
A voice from radio said again, as those bald man start shooting their Gatling 'yubi' gun at the newly awakened lion tribesmen, killing them with their finger bullets.
…
Koronesuki are genetic engineering soldier that has been created by Inugami Korone. Unnecessary parts from their body.
Such as teeth and hair are being thrown away while the soldier is being fed with tons of hormones and chemicals that will help them resistant to the pain.
Their mouth being forced open by the machine in a haunting smile like a mask to intimidate their enemies.
Rumor said that they are failed test objects from Korone curses ritual, and she decides to selling them instead of just let those poor souls rotting away.
Whatever the truth is, right now, there are lot of demands for Koronesuki from many empires who want an absolute loyal soldier that will served master with their life.
( Since Koronesuki is being programmed that ways) so Korone keep making them before selling these Koronesuki towards whoever who paid well for their services.
Giving lot of money for Korone to spend it in another part of her business with Okayu.
…
In the lion village, everything is went to hell right now.
Male and female lion were being killed alike, while their children being shot with tranquilizer dart gun or tasers before being snatched from their dying mother's arm and put in
the box, preparing to sale them to the nearest zoo or whoever that gave them a high prizes as their house is being burn down by flamethrowers and rockets from helicopters.
Nero roared in frustration, summoning his surviving warriors from the multiple direction to regrouping as they start leaping at the helicopters together, ready to jumping on it.
The dark forest bursts as army of Buffalo man suddenly charging from their sides, taking multiple lion warriors down and killing them before they could realize what's
happening.
The Buffalo king is crashing his massive horns at Nero's body knocking the lion on the ground again.
" Caffer! You're still alive!" Lion king swore when seeing the man who standing in front of him.
Buffalo king chuckled as he is swinging his giant stone axe.
" I will not dead until I can see your sister's head!"
" Not my sister! Beside, she is already leave!" Nero roared, dodging the axe in the last seconds and jumping at Caffer, but another Buffalo warrior crashing his head against
him, knocking the lion king down as the Buffalo king kicking his stomach.
Sending his body bouncing on the grounds as the rest of his warriors are being butchered by combination attacks from Buffalo man and Koronesuki's Gatling from helicopters.
Nero looking at his remaining warriors and groaned seeing that they were being surrounded by these Buffaloes warriors. While their children is being snatch away by those
sky invaders.
" I told the spider lady that lion tribesmen are living here. And I am right!" Caffer bragged at one Kronesuki pilot from rabbit helicopter, who nodded at him in admiration
before they start shooting their rocket at another target.
Nero roared as he saw his teenage son being electrolyzed by one Koronesuki soldier. The kid then being dragged toward the helicopter like any piece of goods from the
factory, disappeared from his father sight.
Nero going to follows them but the Buffalo king swinging his axe at him again, knocking lion king aside even when he is blocking the attack with his titanium spear.
" Dies!" Caffer raised his axe, ready to chop Nero's head off.
Shishiro Botan jumping on the Buffalo king's head and slamming a rock that as big as children's body at the king's face and grabbing his horn before slamming her enemy's
face the big tree trunk in front of them.
Nero quickly running to help her as both lion grabbing Caffer's leg before throwing him over, let the man's massive body to crashing with the muddy ground.
Buffalo king roared and trying to get up, but Botan and Nero drop kicking his face at the same time. Sending him bouncing on the forest floors several times before some of
his warriors finally hold him still.
" Kill them!" Caffer yelling at top of his lungs.
Nero is going to leaps at another Buffalo warrior who is running towards him, but Botan snatching him midair at the same time as Gatling yubi gun start showering bullets at
them, killing the running Buffalo man during the progress.
" I have to save my people!" Nero yelled, seeing that his men are falling like a rain due to the facts that they are completely outnumbered and being takes by surprised.
" You will killed all of them if you didn't ordered them to retreat now!" Botan roaring at his face.
Koronesuki turning their Gatling toward Botan and her brother, but the shooter's head suddenly being blows away as Towa is shooting fireball at them with her magic KSG.
" Gotcha! And who said bullpop model suck? F**k you!" Demon girl laughed as she start pumping elemental magic shotgun shells at her targets , killing them for an instant.
Rabbit helicopters start shooting their rockets toward Towa's direction, forcing her to run. " I couldn't hold them forever. Quick!" Demon girl yelled, firing back at the aircraft,
but their shields are capable of blocking her magic bullet, at least for a while.
Nero biting his lips before roaring loud enough for everyone to hear.
" Retreat! I said retreat right now!" He then quickly jumps into the darkness of the night, disappeared within a second.
Botan running on all four at Towa, before stopping in front of her.
" Get up here!" She yelled.
" What?" Towa asked, bewildered.
"On my back, quick!" Lioness roared. Demon girl quickly jumping on her back as both are jumping to the tree branches, out of their pursuer searches.
…
At dawn, head counts showing that they are little than dozens of lion warriors surviving the night.
Some woman and children managed to escape, but most are being captured by the sky invaders.
Now the survivors are gathering in the dark forest and discussing at what to do next.
However. The real question is: fights or flights?
" We don't have enough warriors." Nero concluded, everybody nodded as they were looking at the map of the area around them, drawing by some dead explorers centuries
ago.
" They are at least dozen of spaceship in the La Lion city. If they can do something like the attacks tonight. I doubt that even our whole pride would be enough." One warrior
comment.
" Like what Botan said." Nero nodded toward his little sister. Admitting that her warning was right all along.
" Listen, you remembered our father words about weapons for desperate situation right? Spaceship and laser gun, if this is not desperate situation, I don't know what the hell
is!" Botan demanded.
Nero nodded grimly.
" Indeed. But problems are about the place we hide them. Since we don't want our youngling to go there and take everything they want.
So, we hide our spaceship in a very far location, away from our pride. It is located behind the afterlife volcano area, as well as another Hunter tribes, our cousin.
And that volcano is the place-"
" Where we drive those Buffalo warriors to be living there!" Botan clenched her head.
" So, we just creating enemy and blocking both ways of helping in one move! No wonders why people said karma is a b**ch!" Lioness exclaimed at the absurdity of their
situation.
Nero snorted, not wanting to remind Botan that it was her that creates their enemy. " Sh*t happened. But what are we going to do?"
" You guys doesn't have many people left. If you trying to sneak in. using most of us as a bait…" Botan suggested.
" Not working! Those tribesmen will not lifted a finger to help useless beggars, no matters what he uses to be.
I need to bring as much as warrior I can summon. To showing them that I am still worth helping." Nero insists.
" So, all of us have to moving passed the Buffalo area without them noticing. Whether we want our high tech weapons or our sibling helped . And nobody has any idea.
Am I right?" Botan asked, makes every lion warrior suddenly want to looking at their own feet instead of answering her.
" Hey! Why are you guy looking so down." Towa who just talking with her boss via emergency radio asked.
" We still didn't have much idea of what to do." Botan answered.
" Anyways, I have something good for you guys to hear. Those who take you guys children aren't going to sold them in the auction at the La Lion city.
They are afraid that pictures of event might get leak and make them look barbaric. Scaring investors away.
So, they will transport them toward the shipping port that Arachnian secretly built not long ago instead, Not our city.
We still have some time left to save those little lions!" Towa declared.
" But we don't have a way to save them yet." Nero said, still couldn't think of anything.
Botan finally lifted her head. " I have an idea! I will lure those Buffalo man away while you guys sneaking passed their border. Go and talk with Hunter tribes in the area first!
Tell them that intruder will come and destroying them all if we're still separated like this!"
" How are you going to lure them alone?" Nero asked skeptically.
" I have two things they want." Botan said smilingly, looking at the skull of Buffalo king's son that one warrior brought with them rather than let the enemy took it away.
