Neither saint nor evil, we all fall in-between.

Zuri smiled as One-eye and his men dragged the young man towards him. His weak effort to free himself and his look of horror when he sighted the aliens far off amused him and he croaked his voice and looked more threatening to terrify the already horrified man.
"I will be eating you alive if you don't keep your mouth off and clean that tears off your face."
Reagan more scared and confused quickly clean the tears off and stammered as he asked. " What have I done?" Then burst into another uncontrollable cry. "Please...don't kill...me."
"I won't, if you tell me where to find Kira and Akira," Zuri replied.
"Oh! I know where they are." Reagan cried back.
"Good, now clean your tears off and lead the way," Zuri said.
Horus walked close to Zuri and whispered. "My prototype is dead."
"Do we still need her?" Zuri whispered back.
"Yes," Horus answered back.
Zuri immediately orders One-eye and his men to take the alien physician to where Maria lay dead for curing.
A few minutes later, One-eye and his men returned and informed him of the success of the mission.
"You promised to let me go, once I take you there?" Regan asked again.
"Yes," Zuri replied. Tapped his arm and his holographic phone appeared. He called all his armies of aliens and humans and instructed them to walk towards Olumo town.
"I will soon have the scepter." He confided in Horus as they walked closer to their destination.
"Oh, my love." Reagan sobbed along. Unknown to him, Maria had been rouse from the dead.
"Damn alien, get your stinking body off her," Bobby screamed and plunged into Apollon777, holding him on his throat and both start to tussle in a bid to throw each other off the ground.
"Please stop," Brenda screamed. Now clad in a white shirt over jean trousers.
She walked towards the pair, put her arms around their necks, then face Bobby, and said. "We are a team now, Bobby."
"With this thing-."
Brenda cut in, "His name is Apollon777 and yes, he is in our team now."
"Why," Bobby asked. "He kidnapped you naked for crying out loud."
"Yes, and I have forgiven him, while I expect the same from everybody." Brenda hold Bobby's hand and walked off with him then whispered. "I trust him, Bobby."
Bobby bobbed his head and muttered. "Just tell him to keep off me." He gently removed Brenda's finger intertwined with his own and walked off.
"Is he your mate?" Apollon777 asked Brenda when he caught up with her.
"Something close to that." She replied. "He is just angry right now, but I assure you he is a good man at heart when in a happy mood."
Apollon777 nodded his head and said. " There is no saint nor evil, we all fall in-between.
Brenda smiled at his reasoning and slapped him friendly on the back.
"So what next?" Apollon777 asked her.
"We go after Kira and Akira." She replied.
Elenu walked with a limp and was attended to by a beautiful lady who hold him by his waist and help him into a sitting position, then cleaned and bandaged his wounded leg.
"What is your name?" He asked the beautiful lady in a V-neck shirt and fitted jeans that expose all her gorgeous shape.
"Shua." She responded with a smile.
"Thank you, Shua." Elenu said, "Are you married?"
"A widow." She replied. " Lost my family to an accident when the breakdown occur."
"I like you," Elenu said. He holds the woman's hand and gazes into her eyes. "You are beautiful, kind, and nice."
Shua smiles and looks at the left side to avoid Elenu's gaze.
"Thank you." She said, trying to stand up from her stooping position but was immediately held back by Elenu.
"Help me up." He said and offered his other arm to the woman who immediately pulled him up.
"Thank you once again."
"Come and relax in my room." She offered.
"Yes, thanks," Elenu muttered, put his right arm around her neck, and limped along.
"Hey! Are you okay?" Brenda shouted at Elenu and quickly jogged to meet him.
"Someone slash me with a dagger, but I killed the son of a bitch." He answered back.
"Oh. Thank you for taking care of him." She said with a smile at the lady beside him.
Shua smiled back with a bow. "I'm just doing the little I can." She replied.
"Heard you were kidnapped by that alien. Elenu mumbled, pointing at Apollon777 who stood far off.
" Yes." She replied.
"And now we are a team?" Elenu asked back.
"Yes," Brenda replied. " I trust him more than the Hoorays."
"I trust none of them." Elenu fired back.
"Where is Zuma?" Brenda asked.
"Over here," Zuma shouted and walked towards her. Blood spurting out of a big wound on his head where someone had cut him with a rapier.
"Can you ride in this condition?" She asked the injured man.
"Yes," Zuma replied.
"Am as strong as a bull," Elenu said and gently pushed the lady off, trying to walk by himself but soon stopped to hold the injured leg. "Ouch! Am sorry but I can't." He said with a sad face.
"Never mind," Brenda said. "Just relax and allow your wound to heal."
"He will be staying with me," Shua said.
"We will be back for you, boss," Zuma promised.
"Welcome back," Sebastian shouted from far and walked down to the group.
"Where have you been?" Zuma yelled at him.
"Fighting of course." He replied.
"Yet you are unhurt and not a sweat on your face." Brenda sneered at him.
Sebastian shrugged and ignored her, he quickly climbed the horse beside him.
"What's the casualties number?" Brenda asked Bobby who just joined them and was followed by Aries.
"Our pilot, Agatha, and her husband, Maria, and four of the villagers were killed, while ten of our assaulters were also killed." He replied.
"Fair enough." She replied. Climbed her horse and suddenly cried out. "Is that not Maria coming!?"
The whole group immediately stood in awe as Maria walked towards them.
"I saw you dead in your pool of blood?" Bobby let out with shock.
"What happened to you?" Brenda asked, walked to the lady, and touched the hole where the arrows made in her clothing when penetrating her.
"I don't know," Maria replied. "I remember I was feeling dizzy and then everything went blank as total darkness descended." She paused, clean the tears gathering in her eyes, and resumed. " when I woke up, I saw the four arrows beside me and my wounds were completely healed."
"Unbelievable," Brenda muttered.
Apollon777 walked towards them and put his hand on Maria, smiling as she immediately spurned off his reach.
"It's the Hoorays that heal her." He said. "But why?"
"Because they are better than you and your clan " Bobby answered back.
Apollon pursed his lips and sneer at Bobby. "The Hoorays are the worst enemies of mankind, if they heal her, then it's never an act of kindness but for a reason."
The twins with hundred armed men walked towards their destination.
A thirty kilometers journey that will take them two days of uneventful journey on the leg. But such large marching armies can hardly journey quietly in a world filled with chaos.
Kira and Akira's destination is ikogunsi warm and cold spring, where they plan to fetch both warm and cold water for their ritual of perfection.
Ikogunsi warm and cold spring was a tourist attraction before the knockdown. It was located in Ikogunsi town in Ekiti state, south-western Nigeria.
Flowing abreast the warm spring is the cold spring, both meet in a confluence, each maintaining its thermal properties.
Far off, some men with different weapons had gathered and were seen approaching the Twins armies.
Akira and Kira immediately shouted to the mob to make way, but the men ignored the warning and blocked the bridge that link them to the neighboring town.
"Turn back now!" Their leader cried out. Whistle loudly and men with bows and arrows immediately moved forward.
"We are just passing and mean no harm," Akira said.
"Tell your people to leave the road and nobody will be hurt," Kira added.
"You are all ambushed and will be killed." The man roared back with laughter.
He whistle again and another set of men with bows and arrows appeared at the back of Kira and Akira's armies. "Drop all your weapons now!" He charged.
"You are mistaken," Akira shouted back.
She walked to her sister, both holding each other's hands, and muttered silently.
"Any stone thrown at a rock will be sent back to the one who throws the stone, we send your weapons back to you."
"What is your name?" Akira asked.
"Am the Conqueror, the leaders of all bandit." He replied amidst the laughter of the men in his back.
"Now drop your weapon and I may spare your lives, but I will rob you of all your valuable things."
"You are nothing but a common thief," Akira shouted back. "I warned you to leave with your men now."
"And I warned you to drop your weapon now!" He yelled back.
"We bind you, oh Conqueror." Kira and Akira muttered silently together.
"Whatever weapon you throw at us will return to you," Akira warned.
"Ha ha ha!" The men now amused laughed out.
"Let me see you do that." The Conqueror replied. Put his finger in his mouth and whistle for the third time.
"Archers, fire!" He ordered.
Immediately, both the archers at the twin's front and their back shot at them.
The arrows descended like rainwater from the sky.
Those at the back of Kira and Akira with shields quickly hide under it to avoid the incoming arrows, while those without shields tried to hide under the sheds of those who have.
" We command the element of air," Kira shouted with her eyes closed.
"And iron," Akira added.
"Back to the sender." They both shouted aloud.
But the arrows keep coming, then some feet to make an impact with the terrified men, something strange immediately happened. A strong wind directly emerged around the whole troops, it whirl all the arrows around them for some seconds then dispersed it back to where they were coming from.
The conqueror and his men watched for a while with shock at the strange whirling of their arrows.
Unexpectedly, the arrows plummeted towards them and they turned, dropped their weapons, and run for their dear life. But it was a costly mistake as the sharp weapons plunged into them, killing and maiming more than half of the whole mob.
The Conqueror saw the arrow moving towards him, with no hope of running. In an impulse to save his skin, he grabbed the nearest man to him, heaved him closed, then he fell backward, the man on top and he clenched him over his body as a shield.

The man tried to escape his grip for a while, he soon became silent and weak when arrows pierced into him.
He looked into the Conquerors eyes, tried to say something but blood choked his throat and he lay dead.
The Conqueror waited for some seconds, yanked the dead man off his body, and run for his dear life.
"Who said being a bandit is an easy job?" He asked aloud.
