Right to fight

"Augur." Akira cried out.
"Arrange hundred armed men to follow us in pursuit of the scepter," Kira added.
Augur instantly raced into the midst of awaiting warriors and picked thee strongest among the remaining men, but a fight soon broke up between a young man with a scarf on his head and an aged man with a bald head and beard. The two men demand their right to fight along with their gang members, whereas only one space is remaining to complete a hundred warriors demanded by the twins.
Augur at the sight of the conflict walked close to settle it amicably.
"Be at ease and tell me the cause of this quarrel."
"This man is old and can't walk fastly nor fight vigorously. Please tell him to allow me to follow you." The young man begged.
"I may be old, but am stronger and more experienced than you." The old man replied. He walked toward Augur, bowed his head, and resume his speech.
"You can stage a trial fight to choose between us."
"I won't have the heart to strike at you, since is not a real fight." The young man argued back.
"Why this argument?" Akira cried out.
"We have no time for delay," Kira added.
Augur at the sound of the twins swirled to face them and explained.
"Both demand to accompany us on the journey, whereas there is only a space remaining
To complete the total numbers of warriors needed." Augur replied.
"The man is old and will be a burden to the whole column, unlike me that is young and active." The young man explained.
"He may be young, but he can't match me in a fight." The old man replied.
"Maybe they should both come along." Augur suggested.
"Impossible," Akira shouted back.
"We only need a hundred men, no more, no less," Kira added.
"So who should follow us among the two men?" Augur asked.
"Let them both prove their prowess," Kira replied.
"The winner should be choosing and be made a team leader," Akira added.
The two men immediately circled each other, while the rest of the gang gawked at them and instantly circled the two fighters.
The young man balanced his two-leg on the ground and lunged at his opponent, but the bald-aged man stepped back to avoid the man's impact, he jerked him close, jumped up, then front kicked his opponent on the chest with his two legs.
The force sent the young man backward, he staggered for a while, regain his balance, and instantly leaped at his opponent in a bid to lift him.
The aged bald man formed a first with his two palms and struck at the approaching fingers.
The sound of broken limbs was heard and the spectators cried out in jubilation.
The aged man jabbed his opponents with his two punches in the stomach and jabbed him an uppercut with his right hand.
The young man staggered and fell. He instantly raised himself, snatched a sword from a close-by spectator, and leaped at his opponent.
The aged man stooped to escape the first slash, he jumped up as his opponent targeted his knee, and leaped at him. He whacked his head on him, jerked him up as he became unconscious, and smacked him on the ground amidst the cries of jubilations from the spectators.
He stood up, dusted his dirty trouser, and bowed at Augur, then at the twins.
"Hope I have proven myself." He asked after.
"Indeed," Kira replied.
"You are aged but strong and experienced," Akira replied.
When this was settled, the twins and their gang named the scepter gang commenced on their journey of getting the scepter back for their ritual of immortality and perfections.
The orbs of light lead the way and were followed by the twins, Augur, another section of hundred men, and hundreds of immortal warriors. For hours, the whole column marched on and soon reached the village where Brenda had halted before proceeding to Niger state, but the twins met the whole town empty.
The orbs directed them and they followed and soon proceed on their journey in pursuit of the scepter.
After several hours of walking, the scepter gang glimpsed the conflict going on at the crossroad beside the big market and they instantly marched close to the war zone.
A few hours earlier, Geisha was seen in a big hall inside the spaceship. His phone rang and he shoot his hand forward and received the call.
"Zuri and Horus had been found." A voice over the phone said.
"Send me their exact location," Geisha replied. He disconnected the call and walked towards a machine that looked like a computer desktop and pressed in some letters.
A few minutes later, two green dots were seen illuminating in the dark board.
"This is the location we are heading to," Geisha announced after several seconds of checking and cross-checking. "I have no doubt Zuri and Horus have joined together to defile what the Hoorays stood for, and I agreed they should be punished. But-" Geisha paused his speech, looked at the face of the awaiting one thousand Hoorays in his front, and resumed. " But first and foremost, we must destroy the scepter."
The plane traveled fastly and in a few hours, caught up with Brenda and her column, and Hoorays instantly dropped down the moving plane with ropes and descended into the midst of the armed men and war instantly ensued.
The Hoorays fought the humans with boldness, and the humans fought back, but the outnumbered humans were seen reducing in numbers and only a few men were seen still standing.
Zuri fought courageously and killed every Hooray who stand in his front. His vigor was soon noticed and most Hooray avoided him and struck at weaker men.
A huge Hooray lunged his weapon at Apollon777 but he stepped back to avoid the thrust, turned, and struck his weapon on the Hooray's neck to cut off his head.
Another Hooray leaped at Apollon777 from the back but Ruana who hovered close to him, deflect the blade by yanking the Hooray off his feet with a shoulder push, then plunged her sword into his gut.
Brenda galloped amidst the Hoorays in her front, she bobbed her head as one Hooray thrust his weapon at her, then straightened herself and galloped on.
Bobby followed her by horse. He throw a spear into the heart of one Hooray who leaped at Brenda's horse and killed him instantly.
The war raged on for more hours, and suddenly, another section of the warring gang descended into the warring zone and the newcomers attacked and were attacked.
"Attack all the Hoorays with a red ribbon on their hair, those are our physicians," Zuri announced to the human beside him, and his announcement was passed, and the humans started targeting the alien's physicians.
Brenda's horse galloped in the front, she was followed by Bobby, Apollon777, Horus, and Zuri.
The war at their back raged on, and the human refused the aliens passing through them, but some Hoorays broke their defense and raced after the galloping human and aliens on a horse.
"How many Hoorays at our pursuit?" Brenda cried out to Bobby.
"Maybe fifty or more," Bobby replied.
"Let's galloped faster and keep a long distance between us," Horus shouted at the top of his voice.
