Arousing the ancient serpent

"Get out my way!"
Bobby howled at two of the Big Tiger's gang, who attacked with baton and sledgehammer, front kick the one with a baton, he stepped down to escape the hammer blow, and kick the man who struck at him, on his scrotum.
The man dropped the hammer immediately and gape at Bobby with an open mouth. Begged with a groan as Bobby picked up the hammer and struck it on his head, he fell dead instantly.
Weaving the hammer with outrage, Bobby throw it like a punch in the face of a young man with gold earnings on his two ears, and smashed the head immediately.
"Am killing any bastard that stands my path!"
He roared with anger, wriggled out of the way of a spear thrust at him, then he front kick with his two legs at his attacker.
His assailant staggered and fell backward, without giving him a chance to recover, Bobby sprinted forward and smashed the hammer on his chest, then chuckled with satisfaction as the blow sink into the chest, breaking the man's ribs.
Elenu fought off the men on his trail but they keep pursuing him with arrows and spears.
He immediately plunged into the bush and was followed by two men with bows and arrows who shoots at him.
He dodged beside a tree to avoid his assailants and soon got lost among the maze of trees.
A man with a bow and arrow put forward came near him unaware, and he quickly leaped at him and knocked the weapon off his hand.
"Huh!" The man responded and promptly removed his dagger from his back, then slashed it at Elenu in his front.
Elenu jumped back to avoid the blade, tried to knock the dagger off his hand with a kick from his leg, but the man pull back and slashed at the leg, cutting his flesh and blood spurted out.
"Ouch," Elenu grunted as pains radiate through his body.
The man snickered at him then aim for his neck.
Elenu lunged forward, escaping the blade in an inch, then clenched the man's outstretched hand with his left hand, and heaved him close.
With a grunt, he jumped up and landed with his knee on the outstretched arm, breaking it instantly.
With his other hand, he snatched the dagger off the man's hand and cut his throat with a slash.
An arrow flew closed to his left ear and stuck into the tree in his front.
Elenu dived at the back of the tree, then to another tree.
He put the dagger in his mouth and climbed a cashew tree to await his attacker.
"Get out and fight like a man." The man's voice boomed in the wood.
Elenu wait patiently as the man came close, then jumped at him with his dagger thrust forward.
The man gave a loud howl when the blade sank inside his back, then into his gut, cutting his intestine.
He tried unsuccessfully to cover the big gash and the blood that gushed out of it.
Elenu withdraw the dagger and grinned as the man fell dead in a few seconds.
It was the smoke that first caught her attention. Brenda looked at the alien beside her and cried out.
"My people are under attack!" Then bolted off into the village and was followed by Apollon 777.
The first man she met was staring at her nakedness but Brenda yanked him closed and held him tight with her left arm and asked. "Who are you?"
"The..Big Tige....r's gang." The man choked in reply.
"Enemy or friend?" Apollon 777 inquired.
"Enemy," Brenda answered back.
Apollon 777 surged at the man and landed his left elbow on the shorter man's head, breaking his skull instantly. Then he looked sheepishly at Brenda and mumbled. "Just show me who to kill."
Brenda stared with shock at Apollon's 777 speed as he lunged to attack the man in her grip. The crushing sound of the broken skull startled her and she let go of the dying man who jerk vigorously and slumped dead.
"There she is." Big Tiger cried out, chopping off the hand of a man who attacked him with a bat, and trotting after Brenda.
A few miles away, he immediately halted and gawked at the alien standing protectively beside her and thrashing any human who lunged at her.
"This is not Hooray!"
He cried out with shock. Watched with awe as the alien run at superhuman speed, killing anyone Brendan pointed at.
"No, not today." Big Tiger moaned loudly and quickly gave the signal to withdraw.
"There they were at last." Horus clapped with pleasure as he pointed at a village far off.
Zuri peeked at the village and said. "Look like conflict is going on there."
"Yes. Should we get involved?" Horus asked back.
"No, let them be." Then he faced One-eye closed to him and said."You and your men should get me the man I seek and bring him here alive.
Horus pressed his portable machine and Reagan's picture popped up.
One-eye stared at the picture in his front and bobbed his head. "I will bring him here as soon as possible." Saying this, he walked towards the village and was followed by thirty men.
"Oh, my love!"
Reagan sobbed uncontrollably over Maria's corpse lying on the floor beside him.
"You promise to come back to me!"
He screamed and hold the corpse close to his chest, unaware of the people in his back.
"Get off the ground and follow me now." One-eye barked at the unhappy man on the floor.
Reagan looked at him and ignored his command.
"Are you deaf or what?" One-eye shouted at him, and order some of his men to bring him along.
Reagan fought and thrashed the four men who hold him and dragged him after their boss.
"Let me go!" He screamed.
Akira and Kira walked barefooted inside the revered Olumo shrine, on reaching the middle, Akira removed chalk from her bag and draw the pentagram symbol on the floor.
The pentagram; is a five-point star drawn with one continuous line broken into five-line segments and with one point of the start facing up.
Used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonians to represent various gods and religious beliefs of their own.
While the Chinese and Japanese used it to symbolize the five elements of life and considered it to be magical.
It was also used in various forms of white magic by Wicca, and it's believed to provide protection of some kind, symbolize infinity, the binding of the five elements, and protection of the self.
Christians once used it to represent the five wounds of Jesus for a few hundred years after Jesus' resurrection and were later supplanted by the symbol of the cross.
During the enlightenment re-discovered Pythagoras' interest in the pentagram with the golden ratio, Pythagoras's study went beyond mathematics, as it indicated the correct ordering of the world, with materials things subjecting to the spirit, and the continuous line was considered symbolic of the Alpha and Omega.
Kira and Akira stepped inside the drawn line and cried out together In a semi-conscious state.
"Wake up, all the sleeping powers in this abode, listen to us as we called out to you!"
"We are here to rouse the ancient serpent!" Akira shouted.
"So we called on the element of fire!" Kira answered back.
"And water!" Akira added.
"And the air!" Kira let out.
"And sand!" Akira added.
"And iron, been the last but not the least!" They shrieked together.
Suddenly, fire gushes out from the mountain in their front, followed by water, then a strong wind that mixed the fire to form some mold of soil.
When everything calmed down, Kira walked towards the mold of sand on the floor, parked it all inside a white calabash then throw it over the rigid serpent on the mountain.
"Rise!" They both cried out.
Instantly, a crack was seen on the serpent, then something like a shell fell off its body, the serpent became alive and haul its body towards the twins in its front.
"You summoned me." The serpent muttered as it fixed its unblinking eyes on them.
"What is your name?" Akira asked.
"Enoch." The serpent answered back.
"Enoch, we want you to protect this scepter, and no man, woman, or aliens must touch it in our absence," Akira answered back.
"Strike to death whoever near it," Kira added.
"It shall be done." Enoch the serpent replied and immediately curled around the scepter placed near it.
The twins walked out of the inner rock and summoned Durell.
"You are the chief guard of this rock. No man or woman must enter, while anybody found around the mountain should be killed." Akira let out.
"It will be done," Durell replied with his famous grin.
"While we are away, appoint someone as a foreman and start planting of grains, vegetables, and fruits that we will be needing. Kira added.
"Who will be in charge of weapons?" Durrell asked.
"Distribute all the weapons to all-male above the age of twelve, and start training immediately," Kira replied.
"The king is in charge and he will give you the full instructions soon. Akira added.
"Always put men on every strategic place as a guard on the lookout. Remember, enemies may fall on us anytime. " Kira warned.
"Everything will be done accordingly," Durell answered back with a bow and mumbled softly. " What about this?" He asked, pointing at the snake curled around his neck.
"I will remove it when we are back," Akira responded and walked off, to be followed by her twin sister.
"Where are you going and when will you be back?" He shouted after them.
"To a faraway land, we will be back when we are back," Kira replied.
"Perform your duties diligently and you will be appreciated when we come, fail and you will be killed. Akira added.
"How can I concentrate on this duty with a snake curled around my neck?" Durell asked no one aloud, he paced up and down in front of the shrine where the twins just emerged.
"Why are some seeing it while some can't?" he looked puzzled as he watched the twins talking with some warriors far-off.
