Pathway toward the ocean: Planet RTX 4000: Pinwheel Galaxy

Shishiro Botan & Tokoyami Towa

"So, what's the plan?" Towa asked, looking at the giant machine that's looks like a mixing between centipedes and train.

However, unlike man-made train, this arthropod machine seems to not needing railway in order to moves at all.

The giant seems to be driving freely through the forests with its powerful engine and multiple 'leg' on its body.

Cutting every tree and solid rock that's get into its way with the motor on its head.

" That's probably the vehicles that shipping children from lion clan to the Arachnian secret space ports. We will have to attacking them before they will arrive that place!"

Botan explained.

" How, though?" Demon girl asked.

" With SSRB. After locating where the hostage is.

We will blow the thing's engine and jumping to attack it, taking the guards out and saving our children." Botan analyzed.

" But they are too far away. How can we reach the place in time?" Towa asked, right now they are looking at the mechanic centipede through the scope.

All of lion and other Hunter's warriors who decided to join this fight are waiting in silenced at the top of the hills, many miles away from their target.

" If we followed animal path throughout the forest. We will need at least a few hours in order to reaches their position." Botan said.

" And by that time. They will be moving away from us even further. What's your point?" Towa asked.

Botan smiled. " That's why we will be jumping on the tree tops, following the hills line. With our speed, we can reach them within a few minutes."

" And what am I supposed to do? I am not gonna riding you again. Once is enough!" Towa remembered the nausea feeling as she is being dragged by Botan's speed during

their running from the lion village.

" I mean, you are demon, aren't demon can fly?" Lioness asked.

"That's just a myth! Some of us can, but not me." Demon girl quickly answered.

" Everybody is ready." Nero said, nodding at his warriors who are all wearing a mask and carry weapons in hands. While Nero himself holding two SSRB in his grips.

" Good luck, brother." Botan said, fist bumping with the lion king.

" You too, sister!" Nero chuckled, before he and another lion warriors will disappear in a dark woods with their invisibility mask, leaving no trace behinds.

" No roaring?" Towa asked, seeing that everyone except from her and Botan is already gone.

" On the big hunt like this. We won't roaring, the point of stealth is to make us unnoticeable after all." Lioness explained.

Towa grabbed one of the vines that hanging from the great trees around them, trying to swinging her body on its like what Tarzan did in the film she used to watch.

" I'm ready!" Demon girl declared after moving a few times, but Botan is blocking her ways with a big smile on her lips.

Lioness pulling the vines, showing that it is already rotted and falling from the tree easily. " Brown vines like this is not good to carrying your body.

It is always dead from the inside."

" How am I supposed to know!" Towa yelled, angy again.

" And I don't have time to teach you. We gotta move, hurry!" Botan suddenly grabbed Towa's waist and jumps. Sending both woman's body flying with the speed over a

hundred miles per hour.

" I hate you!" Towa voices slowly disappeared as they are moving with an incredible speed through the branches and trees.

Winds blowing at demon girl's face hard enough for her to deciding to just shutting her mouth and closing her eyes as she is still playing this absurd rollercoaster with Botan.

When they finally climbing on the centipede train. Towa is almost vomiting. Demon girl closing her mouths as Botan is inspecting the door, wondering if there's a trap or not.

" What should we do? Nero seemed to not know where the train's main engines are yet." Botan asked.

" There must be a lot of guards on this train. Maybe we should draw their attention and let those lion searching for their children." Towa gave her an idea.

" How, though?" Lioness frowned.

" FBI open up!"

Towa and Botan kicking the door open and raising their weapons. Readying to shoot everybody inside.

Inside of the cabin, there are groups of men in prisoner black and white uniforms.

All of those men are also wearing some kind of helmet that looks like a Japanese rice ball.

More importantly, everyone already has their weapons in hands and quickly aiming them toward Towa and Botan.

"" Sh*t!"" Botan and Towa said at the same time as those people's guns suddenly firing at them, making both girls running for their life out of the vehicles.

Botan holding Towa's body as she quickly jumping into the woods, hundreds of bullets follows.

Group of lion warriors suddenly appeared around the train and throwing their knifes and spear at those rice ball prisoner from the windows too.

But those prisoner clothes seem to be able to block the weapons as those whose being hit quickly gets up and salvos their automatic weapons at lion warriors,

taking some of them life as the rest quickly retreat back in the forests area.

"Those must be 'onigiri' hypnosis soldiers that is so popular lately.

There are so many rumors about them!" Towa explained as Botan is jumping from the tree branches and following the centipede train.

While those 'onigiri' start throwing rice ball bombs at them, blowing the trees that lion warriors are trying to hide within.

Towa raising her KSG and shooting at the groups of onigiri in the windows. But after pumping her reaper's blade(Death magic spell) shotgun shells at their face,

her weapons seem to not affecting them at all.

" They must have magic absorbing armor! My gun is useless here!" Towa exclaimed as Botan quickly carrying her closer to the windows.

One onigiri quickly came out to shoot them , but Lioness quickly grabbed his helmet with her feet before throwing him out of the still-moving train , let his body crashing into

the jungles as four lion warriors are gnawing on him.

" What's next!" Botan asked, seeing that Onigiri are shooting at them nonstop.

"Let's get in the train real quick! That's our first priority." Towa yelled.

" 'Kay!" Botan jumping downward in 180 degrees, roared for the lion warriors around her to start throwing their spears and knifes at those onigiri, grabbing their attention to

looks at the tree branches.

While the lioness herself is running on the forest's floor with all four, Towa's arm wrapping around her neck.

" Three! Two! One!" Botan snarled as she is jumping at one of the train empty windows.

" Wait! I didn't mean this quick!" Demon girl cries as both women smashing their ways through the windows, rolling on the ground as they are moving through the passenger

seats.

In the bogie. Six onigiri who are just chilling around quickly gets up and grabbed their weapons.

Botan throwing her spear at one of them head, knocking him on the ground as she spinning kicks two of them hard enough to make them falling through the running train's

windows.

Towa shooting her earth's magic shotgun between one onigiri's legs and create a hole that sucking his body down as she quickly throwing her KSG at another onigiri's head,

stunning him for a while as she is slams her whole body in order to knocking him down.

The last onigiri shooting his gun at Botan who quickly flipped her body to dodge the bullet and kicking his face, knocking him on the floor as she grabbed the man's leg and

throwing him toward the onigiri who still struggling with her spear, knocking both of them down.

Towa punching onigiri's face but the helmet making her hand hurt as the prisoner is kicking her stomach hard enough to knock demon girl over his body.

He then quickly running toward his gun, but Towa jumping on all four at him, knocking both of them downward again as she is beating the man's head with his own gun.

Botan smashing two onigiri's head together before she can find the seal between their helmet and suit. Lioness quickly open its before slicing their throats through the gap of

helmet with her index fingernails as if they were a scalpel, killing them for an instant.

Botan picked up her spear and use it beating the last onigiri like it was a baseball bat, Towa is also swinging her gun at the poor man's body nonstop.

After both women satisfied, they throw his body at one of the broken windows, giving him a middle finger good bye too as the wind is wailing around them.

" So, if group of mooks are so hard to beat. How are we going to beat train-full of them?" Botan asked after stabbing her spear at the onigiri's corpse multiple times.

Her claws and teeth also couldn't penetrate through their prisoner uniform and helmet.

" Technology always has an answers!" Towa said after inspecting the gun that she snatched from onigiri's hands.

" This is Saiga- 12, semi-automatic shotgun with magazines. We are lucky today, folks!"

" What's so good about it?" Botan asked.

" The gun itself is decent, but looks at the bullet!" Towa showing Botan a handful of green shotgun shells

" This is cobalt ' Armor Piercing' shells. Not an earth technology. Some aliens probably upgrading this weapon to become more suitable for their purposes!" Towa bragged.

" So, will it be able to piercing their armor?" Botan asked, Towa responded by shooting one of onigiri helmet and prisoner uniform, creating two holes on the corpse within a

seconds.

" Woah! Automatic shotgun? Never heard of that!" Even Botan looked impressed.

" Just semi(one pulled/one shot. ), but it is cool isn't it? Helps me picking their bullets up and spare some for yourself! We will show them what our newest friends can do!"

Towa ordered.

After being attacked for a while. Onigiri soldiers finally realized that six of them that resting in the suits bogie didn't reports for too long.

So, except for those who still trying to fight their invaders off. Every onigiri are now waiting at the door where Botan and Towa are hiding, ready to burst in.

After a while one of them tiptoeing toward the door and open it while groups of onigiri pointing their gun, ready to shoots.

The door swings open, but there is nobody inside the room, two onigiri slowly walking inside and aiming their gun around, before signaling that the area is clear.

Their head then suddenly exploded as Towa who hiding in the closet shooting her saiga-12 at them as fast as she could. Demon girl then come out and salvos at groups of

onigiri in front of the room with cobalt 'armor piercing' shells.

Botan who is climbing on the ceiling with one hand and two leg showering her saiga-12 at groups of surviving onigiri too. Killing multiple of them as well as making them

confused about which direction the attacks come from.

Lioness then throwing empty gun at the remaining onigiri before jumping on them with full speed, crashing into the group of enemies and swinging her claws, knocking them

down.

Botan picked up one of the enemy guns and throwing it to Towa who quickly take it and shooting her new weapon at the surviving enemy instead of bother reloading.

Lioness also using her spear and stabbing through the gap between onigiri's mask and armor, killing them one by one.

Towa throwing her empty shotgun at the same time as Botan is throwing her spear, knocking last groups of onigiri down as both of them moving forward to the next train's

bogie.

" What's next?" Towa asked, changing her saiga- 12 magazine.

" Checking for the children." Botan pulling the spear off onigiri's corpses.

" And kicking some more ass." Both women smirked as they opened the bogie door, as the roaring and shooting sound still be heard all over the centipede train.

Towa shooting at two onigiri's head, knocking their body hard enough to make the door burst open as she and Botan who just ripping others onigiri's throat with her teeth,

quickly running inside the room.

The room itself is filling with electric wires and control panel.

Look like they finally reaching the engine room at last.

Towa punching the 'emergency break' button and the giant centipede finally slows down as its motor stop moving, sending its head to be crashing with the giant tree that is

blocking their ways.

The door at the other side of the engine room suddenly bursts open as two onigiri being knocks inside. Botan and Towa quickly rise their weapons. But the newcomers are just

Nero and his wife.

" So, you finds the engine room." Lion king said.

" What's about children?" Botan asked.

" Already out of this train." Nero smirked when remembering the first thing his teenage son is doing when getting free, tearing his captors face off.

" Where's your SSRB?" Towa asked, looking around for the chubby bomber cat.

Nero shook his head" Change my minds . This vehicle may stock with a lot of weapons and energy. We should salvage the train instead of just blowing it away."

" Agreed, but are there any survivors? We may get some information from them." Towa asked.

" Only some worker are still alive. I will see what we could do." Nero's wife answered.

"Right now, we have estimated soldiers around 5000. Minus those who guarding our villages and those who stay too far away. If we going to attack.

We will need the spaceship our ancestor has hiding when we first arrived here." Nero said.

" Nice idea, maybe you should lead us there." Botan suggested, but lion king shook his head.

" We didn't use it for far too long, of course there's manual left, but none of us is really a space traveler for generations.

We need somebody who still able to use such a thing."

" What? Why are you guys looking at me like that!" Towa exclaimed as everyone in the room is looking at her.

" I mean, you are coming from the groups of space nomad aren't you? You probably know how to drive a spaceship and such."

" I mean, I could try. But…" Towa looked at her own feet.

" It is decided then." Nero clapping his hands and summoning groups of cheetah warriors in the room.

" These guys will carrying you toward our spaceship hiding place. They are the fastest runners we have left."

" Oh hell no!" Demon girl groaned, remember her painful time when Botan carrying her around. And she is just a lion. These guys are fookin' cheetah!

After cheetah warriors dragging Towa out of their sights.

One panther warrior is cancelling his camouflage and appeared in the engine room.

" Our groups and wild dogs clan having some kind of distraction plan. Perhaps we could use wild animals on this planet to help us fighting against these invaders too.

But we will need some of our warriors to chasing them out of the wild area. They will grabbed those invader attention, while we attack from the other sides.

What do you think?" He asked.

" Nice idea. Bringing some of our man too. The more man. The quicker job done." Nero agreed.

" How many animal do you need, though? So that we can estimate the number of our man we will used for chasing them."

Nero looking at Botan's eyes before both will answered the panther man at the same time,

"" Yes!""
