A blessing in disguise

Brenda and her team, after recovering the scepter resumed their journey toward Niger state. They soon emerged inside Ibadan city, then galloped towards the neighboring towns close by.
Far off, some gang blocked their way and cried out to the galloping team to halt.
"We are heading toward Niger state and just passed this region a day ago," Brenda shouted at the men who scattered on the tarmac to stop the incoming team.
"Brenda!" A familiar voice cried out among the men on the highway.
Brenda at the hearing of her name instantly halted her horse and then galloped into the midst of the men. "Who called my name."
"I do." Big Tiger replied. "We have been searching for you for days."
"Big Tiger," Bobby called out. "The sight of you is good for sour eyes."
"Where have you been all this while?" Zuri inquired after the handshake.
"Here and there, searching for you." Big Tiger replied. "Thought you have gone ahead.
"I will be gisting you along the way," Bobby replied.
"Let's go," Brenda instructed. And the whole gang instantly followed after her.
Their journey was uneventful and they decided to spend the night at the state boundary. The whole column soon arranged their camp bed and spread out over the plain ground.
Big Tiger was seen in the company of some ladies who have been traveling with them all this while, and they sing and are merry together.
"Thank you for bringing us along." A beautiful lady sitting and leaning on Big Tiger announced.
"I can do anything for you, my love." Big Tiger replied, then kissed the lady on the forehead.
"Love nwa tin-tin." The lady's sister cried out of jealousy.
"What is nwa tin-tin?" Big Tiger asked.
"It means you should take it easy with your loving." The lady explained.
Big Tiger stood from his seat and dragged his woman toward a camp bed constructed some miles off. The couple walked with fingers intertwined and soon emerged inside their camp.
"I have something to tell you." The naked lady on the bed informed.
"I'm listening." Big Tiger replied. He draw the lady closer to him and kissed her nipples.
"Please stop." The lady shouted back. "We need to talk."
"What's so important that makes you look tense?" Big Tiger asked.
"I'm pregnant." The lady announced.
Big Tiger stopped for a while, he looked keenly at the beautiful woman he had been engaged with since the first night together, when he had asked her to be his woman. In truth, he had never felt any remorse nor regret since he asked her to tag along, except of course the fears for her life whenever he is not neared enough to protect her.
But she had proved to be able to take care of herself and had remained alive despite the conflicts they had both partake in.
But pregnancy? To Big Tiger, the sudden announcement is a blessing in disguise.
The blessing is that there will soon be an heir to all the inheritance owned by his family, while the bad news is that there are no more inheritances to protect. Furthermore, it's foolhardy to bring an innocent soul into this disturbing world.
"Can I be able to protect him or her?" Big Tiger soliloquies aloud.
Not now, perhaps maybe never.
The world has reached the stage where no one knows what tomorrow may bring.
"What is your plan for this?" Big Tiger asked after more moments of self-examination.
The lady breathed deeply and replied. "It takes two to tangle."
"Having a baby now is a big mistake." Big Tiger replied.
"But not making love?" The lady inquired back.
"Please don't let us argue this." Big Tiger apologized and kissed her on his lips. "We are having the baby."
The men in uniform soon emerged at their destination at midnight.
The whole base was lighted by shining bulbs installed by the aliens and some Hoorays were seen parading around to keep watch.
"We need to plunge into them suddenly." The fat man with a fat Cuban cigar in his mouth instructed, then puffed out rich smoke from his nose.
He instantly ordered some men to sneak close to the aliens on guard while some were ordered to lay dynamite around the buildings inhabited by the aliens.
"Ignite it in the next one hour and come down to meet us here." The man whispered after the departing men.
"Some aliens are on outpost and we will be discovered as soon as we plunged into them." One man in uniform observed.
The fat man with a cigar in his mouth instantly ordered another set of men to sneak close to the aliens on the outpost and attack them with bows and arrows.
"You have ten minutes." He mumbled after them.
Four Hoorays were seen gisting together about the past events when arrows suddenly plummeted towards them and sunk into their throat and chest. They instantly fell and gasped for breath.
The men attacking them promptly climbed the outpost and instantly put the aliens to death, but not before one among the alien pressed the emergency button on his body and at that instant, an alarming sound was heard everywhere, then the war begin.
"Charge at them." The fat man with the Cuban cigar cried out to his men, and they instantly race at the aliens hopping at them.
When they met, what ensued was total clashes of weapons.
Two men in uniform attacked an alien with their swords.
One targeted his head and leaped at him, while the other man targetted the alien' gut and thrust his sword forward.
But the alien stepped to the right side, hopped and turned, then plunged his weapon into the heart of the leaping man and struck his knee into the face of the other man at the same time.
At that instance, another man leaped at the back of the fighting alien, then thrust his spear into him, and smirked louder as the alien fell to the ground.
"Cut his head off." He cried out at the nearest gang member with a sword, and the man instantly hopped up and slashed the alien head off.
"Target their physician." Their leader announced with a shrieking voice. "They are wearing red batches." He added after puffing his cigar for a moment.

The war raged on, the men attacked and the prepared aliens counter-attacked back and were almost winning against their Invaders when another gang arrived from the East to join the men against the aliens.
The new gang that emerged was the Barack gang, inspired by the defeat of the aliens under Horus command, they had quickly marched out in great volume against the Hoorays whom they were told have their base somewhere nearby.
Their journey takes a whole day, and a night, and when they emerged, they quickly intermixed with the men in uniform to attack the aliens.
"They are weakling and will soon retreat." Their leader assured, then lead the attack.
Geisha seeing the enormous mobs at his base instantly make a distress call. An hour later, more spaceships of aliens appeared and more Hoorays soon climbed down a ladder to join their comrade against the invading humans.
Contrary to the alien's expectations, the humans remained on the battlefield throughout the night and only retreated when day begin to break, only to set up their camps some miles off.
"We must reclaim our barracks from those beasts." The fat man with his Cuban cigar announced as he retired into his camp for a brief nab.
