"We can settle this without any bloodshed," Bobby screamed at the approaching big tiger's gang who had gone crazy seeing their leader defeated by a woman.
But they seemed to be deaf as one threw an ax at Brenda, who had seen it coming and had somersaulted off the man on the floor, escaping the ax in just a fraction as the weapon flew and hit the shelves of the artifact on the walls.
Bobby quickly smashed his fist on the head of a youngster with a golden chain, who slumped immediately.
The lady beside the dead youngster struck her dagger at him, but he waived this as well and whacked her heavily in the stomach.
Her eyes shot out with pain as she fell dead.
"Let's give it to them," Brenda cried out as she brought out her sword, striking the first man in front of her, and cut his head off with a blow.
She quickly bent to escape the blade of the sword from a man with a deadlock and a tiger tattoo on his face.
With her left hand, she cut the tattoo off his face and smiled at the perfect result.
The faceless man dropped his sword and put his fingers where his eyes, mouth, and nose were once located, blood gushing out as he lost his balance, falling instantly and wriggling under the sudden pains that engulfed his whole being.
Zuma quickly put an arrow in a bow and fired at the man who threw the ax.
The arrow struck him in the throat; he screamed and fell, choking out blood as he tried to remove the blade which was deeply stuck in his throat.
Elenu jumped off the tricycle, escaping a rapier that was thrown at him by one of the gang members.
With a roar, he attacked with a long spade and faced a man with bloody eyeballs and a long sword.
They both circled each other, looking for any opportunity to strike.
The man struck first, throwing his sword at Elenu, who bent at the last second and dodged.
The man fell and died immediately, but not before killing his prisoner.
Others quickly withdrew at the signal of their leader, who limped after his retreating gang members.
"You will hear from me soon," he shouted at them.
"You are always welcome," Brenda retorted.
Bobby removed the chain from the dead youngster and tied it around the dog's neck.
"For all this barking during the fight," he said as the dog licked his hand and jumped at his knee.
"No, not now," he responded, giving the dog a feeble push, and walked toward Brenda.
"Are you okay?" he inquired.
"Sure, and you?" Brenda asked back.
"Just feeling the vibes when those shitheads retreated," he responded with a grin.
"Is everyone okay?" she asked as her eyes looked over the whole scattered hall.
"We're fine," Elenu replied.
"I don't think my mate can say that," one of the pilots said. "I think he is dead."
Brenda walked toward the pilot and patted him on the back. "Sorry for your loss," she said.
"Where is the priest?" Bobby asked as he scooped up the girl sleeping peacefully in the chair.
"I'm okay," Sebastian said, emerging from the back of the chair where he had been hidden all this while. He looked green from fright.
"Did you defecate on your body?" Bobby asked as he put his hand on his nose.
The whole room seemed to be filled with the smell of sweat, blood, and shit.
The priest looked ashamed and held tight to his rosary. He cowered out of his hidden place and walked toward them.
Zuma removed the shirt and pants of a dead man on the floor and threw them at the nervous priest. "Put that on, priest." He put his right hand to block his nostrils. "You stink."
Sebastian removed his long cloak and pants, fully naked as he tried to wear the shirt and pants given to him.
"You've got nice nipples," Brenda screamed at the naked man, who got greener with the outburst and lost his balance as one of his feet was already in the pants.
He fell immediately and the whole room burst into another uproar of laughter.
----
The inhabitants of Guara kingdom walked in the deserted street towards their destination some kilometers away.
If not for the presence of the scepter, the twins would have cast an invisible spell, but here they are all visible and endangered.
They sauntered past the train station where lots of debris of burnt cars laid blocking their way.
Shortly after, some light from a tire flare glowed brightly far off and some groups of men and women with weapons walked towards them.
"Stop and put your hands on the floor," a black, fat man, naked except for a small towel tied around his waist and a gold necklace around his neck, shouted at them.
The whole group paused and fears could be seen on the face of all of them, except Kira and Akira. They had quickly marched towards the speaker.
"What are we going to do?" the queen asked, running after them.
"Be at ease," Akira replied to her mother as she walked towards the approaching gang. Her eyes gleamed brightly as she muttered some incantation.
"We are harmless and just need to pass through," she shouted at the gang leader who stood a few feet away.
"I said on the floor or you are dead," the man shouted back.
"Are you the leader here?" Kira asked.
"I will kill you if I answer that question of yours," he replied, and his whole members burst into laughter at his humor.
