The three Musketeers
The scepter gang was seen marching towards their destination. The twins walked in the front and Dija stepped at their back and was followed by hundred men with arms.
Men and women were seen gazing at them as they marched through the tarred road.
"Which gang was this?" A woman with a baby tied at her back asked the man beside her.
"No idea." The man replied.
"We are the scepter gang." One among Kira and Akira members informed the onlookers.
"Can we join your gang?" One youngster with a beard asked.
"No," Kira replied.
"We need no volunteers," Akira added.
"We will join the alien's gang if you refused us." The youngster replied.
"Suit yourself." Akira let out.
Some men at the back were seen discussing among themself and their wary gaze exposed their motives to be dishonorable, and in truth it was.
"It's a shameful thing to be led by women." One aged man with a toothless mouth let out.
"The twins were supernatural and their leadership is unquestionable."The man beside him mumbled.
"But Dija doesn't worth leading us." The first speaker let out.
The third man among the clique looked intently at his two comrades for a while and muttered. "I'm afraid men's control of the world is now handed over to women."
"My ego won't allow me to obey her instructions." The first speaker announced.
"What should we do, Kruz?" The aged man with the toothless grin asked.
"Did we concur this will remain a secret between the three of us?" The man called Kruz replied.
"Yes," the aged man let out. "Like the three Musketeers."
"Yes, it's concurred. The third of the Musketeers let out.
"What's the plan, Kruz?" The aged man asked again.
"We will attack her together whenever we have the chance." The man named Kruz replied.
And the gang immediately made plans on how to attack Dija whenever the chance arise.
The opportunity the three Musketeers were looking for soon present itself that same night when the twins ordered the gang members to rest their tired bones for some hours, to be vital for the journey ahead.
Dija, after delegating the posting of guards as onlookers for the night, strolled out of the camp to take birth at the stream close by.
She soon reached her destination, off all her clothing, and plunged into the stream to wash her sweaty body.
Shortly after, Dija observed she was not alone and she quickly glanced around in search of wild animals. Convinced there wasn't any threat close by, Dija resumed her bathing and whistled loudly as the cold water penetrated the tissues under the skin.
Suddenly, three men with weapons leaped at her.
Dija dived off the incoming thrust of the aged man with a spear and landed with a splash inside the water.
The man named Kruz lunged at her with a sword and slashed at her neck, but Dija leaned and whirled off the blade as the man slashed again.
She jerked her right leg and jabbed it at Kruz's knee, then whacked her head on his forehead as he plummeted forward.
The third of the Musketeers plunged his dagger into Dija's shoulder and removed it to target her throat.
Dija spanned left as the blade penetrated her, and wriggled her elbow, then jab it at the neck of her attacker.
The man loomed backward and staggered for a second, then screamed as the lady assassin leaped at him, snatched the dagger off his grip, jerked him off his feet, and plunged the dagger into his throat, tossed him out, then dived at the nearest man.
When the dying men fell inside the pool of water, that by now had become crimson with blood. He tried to scream out in pain but his mouth produce no sound as blood spurted out of the gash in his throat. and when death finally arrived, his last thought was of regrets and shame. To be killed by a weaponless lady in an unfair fight is the worst of all death.
Kruz throw a heavy uppercut as Dija landed in his front, but the lady bobbed his blow, jerked him closer, snatched the sword off his other hand, turned and lifted him, then smacked him inside the pool of water and at that moment, the sword lunged forward and his screaming was instantly cut short as his head rolled off his head.
"Please don't kill me." The third of the Musketeers cried out, dropped his weapon, and leaped out of the stream. But the lady behind him slide to his feet and knocked him down instantly.
"You are dead if you move an inch." A threatening voice said with a snarl.
Apollon777 and Maria galloped faster and soon emerged at a deserted town along their way.
The inhabitants of the town had constructed a big fence to block the tarmac and the blockage forced the galloping alien and woman off the highway and into a route that take them through the main town.
Inhabitants of the town were seen gaping at the strangers, and children soon emerged and raced after them with merry faces.
"I love children," Apollon777 said aloud to himself, and the breeze carried his soliloquizing to the lady galloping beside him.
"When did you start falling in love with children?" Maria cried back at him.
"I was talking to myself," Apollon777 replied. "Their presence makes me forget my sorrow for a while."
"Let's make a baby," Maria announced.
Apollon777 was stunned at her announcement and galloped faster to pass her.
"Don't do that with me." Maria cried after him, jerked her horse, and galloped faster.
"What?" Apollon777 replied.
"Pretending as of you don't hear me." She said.
"We aren't making a baby now." Apollon777 declared and smirked as Maria make a face at him.
The thought of making a baby disgusted Apollon777 even though he enjoyed the lovemaking to the fullest.
The way she held his buttocks when he thrust into her, and her moaning and crying for more still send torrents of pleasure through him. Sex with Maria is as sweet as with Ruana, the problem is not about copulation, but the after effect.
What will a hybrid of humans and Apollon look like?
Apollon777 wondered aloud and smirked louder at the picture forming in his mind. "Damn it."
"We have humans following us." Maria notified.
And her notification instantly jolted Apollon777 back to reality.
He swirled around and gaze at the presence of seven men on horses galloping closer.
"When troubles are sleeping, humans will still go ahead to wake them up." Maria declared, halted her horse, turned, and galloped to meet those on their pursuit.
"Damn you." Apollon777 cried out at her effrontery and sick affection for blood.
Left with no choice, he halted his horse, turned around, and raced after her.
"Just like Ruana, always excited at the sight of death."
Maria stopped a few feet off the men and cried out at them. "Say it out, what are we owing you?"
"We are not after you, but the alien with you." A man with a turban on his head replied.
"What was his offense?" Maria inquired.
"Aliens are forbidden within our locality, and any of them seen must be killed." The man replied.
"Make way, or else you will be killed along." The man beside the man with the turban warned.
"We respect you as human, the reason why we address you first." The man with the turban said.
"His enemies are mine as well," Maria replied, dropped off her horse, and stood at ease with her sword raised. "I dare you to drop off your horses and fight me first."
"We are not after you, miss." The leader of the gang announced, dropped off his horse, and signaled to his men to do that as well.
"But you are after my master," Maria replied.
At that moment, Apollon777 galloped closer, alighted off his horse, walked close to Maria, and asked.
"What's going on?"
"They want you dead for being an alien." She replied.
"That's narcissism on their part," Apollon777 replied.
"Humans are always selfish and only think of themselves," Maria replied.
The men by now had circled the pair who stood back to back, a man leaped at Maria, but she lunged her sword at the approaching sword and struck back.
"Did you remember how we used to train together?" Apollon777 inquired.
"Yes," Maria replied. She thrust her left hand and held Apollon777's hand.
Apollon777 heaved Maria off her feet and flung her at a man who loomed close to them. He smiled as Maria parred the man's thrust, swirled, and slashed the man's head off his shoulder.
Apollon777 pulled her back, throw her up, and caught her legs as she plummeted back to the ground, then flung her at two men who hopped with swords at them.
Maria slashed her sword at the man with a turban, but the man stooped down and escape the thrust that displace his turban.
But the second man wasn't that lucky as a dagger suddenly materialize in Maria's hand, and she stuck it into his ribs, removed it, and plummeted backward, as Apollon777 pulled her.
"Am getting warmed up," Apollon777 whispered with a grin, tossed Maria up, and grinned louder as the lady rolled in the mid-air, then plummeted downward with her hands spread towards him.
He caught her and whirled her clockwise.
Maria thrust her legs forward and whacked it on a man's head, front kicked another man, curled her legs around another man's arms, lifted him, and smacked him facedown on the ground.
Another man stooped to escape her kick, then leaped at her as Apollon777 pulled her close to him.
Apollon777 saw the man leaping closer and instantly veered around, then thrust the lady in his hand at the incoming man.
What followed could be compared to a bicycle kick, as thrust upon thrust fell on the falling man, and his attacker landed in his front then jabbed him on the throat and he fell dead immediately.
