TOGETHER, FOREVER, OR EVER

Yaris, the scientist, and fifty of his strongest warriors hopped closer to the section separated for the discussion. Far off, he can see Horus and his humans friends, waiting for him.
Yaris's phone rang and he quickly picked it up and bark out.
"Situation report, officer!"
"We are on the top of the rock and everywhere is deserted." The voice on the other side of the line answered back.
"Stay there and be vigilance, am sure they will be coming soon."
"Yes, sir."
"How many of you made it to the top?"
"Three hundred, sir!"
"Another section will be joining you soon," Yaris announced, disconnect the call, and paused to dial another call. He waited for a while, and the line was picked after ringing thrice.
"Hello," the voice on the other side let out.
"Lead a team of a thousand warriors, and climbed the tall rock that your comrades just climbed."
"Yes... Yes sir!" The voice sputtered.
Yaris ignored the sputtering Hooray, disconnect the call, and dial another one. This time around, the gadget rang for a very long time, then went dead.
He stared at the gadget, then re-dial the numbers, and waited as it rings.
"What happened to those sent to pursue the horses?"
He fixed the gadget back to its hold and quickly hopped after his warriors.
Something is going on at the back of the mountain, and that was why Horus wanted to cross over to the side.
Whatever it is, there is only one way to know. Letting Horus has his way, then pursued and attacked them all.
Yaris hopped closer then stopped some meters off, and his warriors formed a line beside him.
"Throw the scepter to me and let me have a look."
Horus stepped out, then flung the scepter in the air, and it landed in front of Yaris.
"Picked it up, and check it."
One Hooray, dressed in white like a scientist stepped out among the aliens in line. It was the scientist leader who led the team that went to unleash the fake scepter in the Apollon's region.
The white-dressed Hooray stooped and picked the scepter up. He veered toward Yaris and exclaimed. "I want you to witness the process, can you hold it for me."
"With all pleasure," Yaris answered back, and instantly stretched his arms, then spread his two palms, and grinned as the scientist placed them on them.
The scientist pressed all the buttons on the scepter and waited in a stationary position as the scepter suddenly burst into various particles of different shapes.
Yaris was stunned and instantly flung them off his palms.
"Marvelous!" The scientist exclaimed, stooped and picked all the particles in his palms, and started assembling them.
"Is it the real one?" Yaris asked, after his moment of awe, at the unbelievable scene he just witnessed.
"Yes," the scientist replied, "We have the original one, this time around."
"I promised to deliver the scepter, and I already did. Why do you still accuse me of treachery?" Horus asked with a loud voice.
"I can't forgive your insult, and not even the scepter can persuade me to let you go." Yaris cried back.
"What about your promise to let us pass through your midst?" Horus asked.
"You need to summon your spaceship to carry the scepter back home, we will never allow it to land, and it can't land in the forest at your back. " Dija announced.
"Except you let us pass, having the scepter is useless, as we will never allow it to leave," Kira muttered.
Yaris gaped at the humans, and aliens in his front, and think for a while out of their trap.
There is no way to get the scepter out of here, except he has access to the higher plain ground.
"I will let you pass, but I will pursue you when am through with the scepter."
"You want the scepter, and now you have it. Why will you still pursue us?" Akira asked.
"I want the scepter and Horus, and I will only let you go if you deliver him to me now!" Yaris shrieked back.
"Horus is our friend, and we won't give him out." The commander-general of the jihadist barked back.
"In that case, you left me with no choice."
Yaris signaled to his warriors, and half of them marched after him, while the remaining half remained in their position, and only turned and marched after their boss is out of the reach of arrows.
The aliens' gadget with Brenda rang, as soon as she stepped into the inner side of the rock, and was followed by thousands of men.
She instantly picked it up, then accept the call.
"Yaris has allowed us to pass through his camp, and will we be with you soon." Horus's voice boomed out from the gadget in Brenda's hand.
"Okay, be quick. I will send some men to meet you along the road and show you the way in."
"Are you already inside the rock?"
"Yes, I'm here with almost three thousand men."
"I suggest you wait for us, I can see more of our clans climbing the rock. And am sure some are already waiting for you at the top."
"Then we should hurry before the other section arrives, I still have enough men to hold the ground, till you arrive."
"We will be there soon, be careful."
"Thanks, Horus," Brenda muttered with a smile.
"What did they tell Yaris that made him allow them to pass?" Bobby asked as soon as Brenda disconnect the call.
"I have no idea, mate. Whatever it is, am sure we will know sooner or later." Brenda answered back, then delegate ten men to race back and inform others of the incoming team, then bring them along.
Bobby smile at the hearing of the word MATE, and the memory of their last night together flows into him.
"Weird thought!" He exclaimed under his breath. To be thinking of sex, when he is about to gamble again with his life, is weird, and unlike him.
But the truth is, a lot of strange feelings had already taken over him after the first night with Brenda.
And he knew he will never recover from the change.
He will always belong to her.
Together, forever or ever!
"We have a few aliens waiting for us at the top of the rock, we need to be prepared to attack as soon as we emerged in their presence," Brenda announced to the team with her.
"Did you have an idea of how many they are?" The last general of the big Boss asked.
"No, but more men will be joining us soon," Brenda answered back.
They climbed the steps for hours, then emerged at a large space.
"The road is blocked!" One among the men exclaimed.
"It was all in vain, the stepped as finished and there is no way out!"
"This people had been fooling us all this while!"
The angry voice of the mobs with Brenda echoed inside the rock, as they exclaimed with annoyance.
"Hush," Brenda shouted at them. Her eyes searched for the Chief that brought them here, and she saw him cowering somewhere, in-between a menacingly looking man in a blue uniform, and his comrade.
"So sorry for my men's rudeness, they were tired and desperate to send the aliens out of our home."
The aged chief only gazed at the speaking lady, then nodded his head, after some seconds of total silence.
" Where is the way out?" Brenda asked.
"It's been a long time, since I come here, and I can remember, we used to hop on the shoulders of the tallest among us, then jumped up and hold that rock, then dived out and we will emerge outside."
"There is no opening at the place you are pointing at." Brenda let out with a puzzled look.
"Yes, and that was why I was as surprised as you are. There was a hole that is big enough for two people to pass at this place." The chief answered back, point his hand at a far high side of the rock, and smile sheepishly.
"Bring that touch light, and point it at the place he showed us." Brenda let out.
The place is green and doesn't look like part of the rock." Bobby observed.
"Let's chisel over way out, whatever it is will scatter from the blow of our hammers and chisel.
