A ONE-MINUTE TYPE
"Enemies at our back!" A man with a turban on his head cried out.
Some among the men attacking Brenda's gang quickly turned back, while the rest raced forward.
"Counterattack them now," Brenda screamed out, whirled her horse, and rode ahead of the rest of the fighting men and alien.
Two men on horses struck at her from both sides, Brenda leaned backward on the moving horse, then forward as the two weapons swirled passed her.
A man leaped at her from another horse to knock her down but she braced for the impact, jerked the man as he plummeted into her, then tossed him backward.
Zuri slashed his weapon at the man tossed by Brenda and instantly hacked him to pieces.
A man on a horse whacked his sledgehammer at Zuri, but he bend sideways to escape the thrust, then struck backward at his attacker, and his weapon divided the man's skull into two.
A spear was thrown at him from behind, Zuri at the sight of the incoming weapon hopped off the moving horse, and the weapon whirled past, into the shoulder of one of his members with a turban.
Four men on the ground surrounded Bobby and attacked him. He quickly somersaulted off the moving horse and crashed on two men at his side. Rolled off them as he landed, dived off another spear thrust at him, and landed in front of the men on turban's gang leader.
"Argg!" The man shrieked as he attacked the big man in his front with his two swords. He thrust at Bobby's head with his left hand while the other hand backslashed as his opponent struck back. Then leaped at his opponent for the killing thrust when he saw that he strumbled forward.
Bobby quickly regains his fake fall, he thrust his hand forward and struck back with his dagger to deflect the incoming weapon, jumped up, and knocked the sword off his opponent's left hand with his left leg thrust, then struck with his dagger as the man loomed backward.
The man struck back and knocked the dagger off Bobby's hand, slashed again but his weapon only peel the clothing off his opponent's chest, he quickly leaped off an uppercut that would have knocked him down, then jumped up and front kicked with two legs.
Bobby staggered back, and another man with a turban leaped close to him with an ax, putting forward to whack his head.
Bobby dived at his attacker and knocked him down with a shoulder push. He poked the man's left eye with his two middle fingers, snatched the ax off his hand, held it with his two hands, and swirled backward to counter-attack the gang leader at his front.
Bobby's weapon deflects the perfect strike, the man quickly throws a punch in his opponent's face.
The punch landed on Bobby's face and all he could see for a moment were dazzling stars within total darkness. But he quickly hopped at his attacker and knocked him in the face with his two knees, and both fell sprawling on the ground.
Bobby gust out and raised himself to his knee, picked up his dagger, and leaped at his opponent who was already on his feet.
The man stepped back to avoid the blade of the dagger, whirled and jumped up, then thrust his leg at his opponent's chest.
"Damn you," Bobby screamed, the thrust push him backward, but he leaped forward, dropped the dagger in his hand, and screamed at the man in his front. "Now fight me like a man."
"You are weaker than my grandmother." The man screamed back, boobed a punched from his opponent, and jabbed an uppercut into his throat.
Bobby groaned as the blow landed on his chin, the pain blinded him for a while, he bobbed the next straight blow, held his opponent outstretched hand, jerked him close and lifted him, raced forward, then smacked him backward on the rock beside them.
"Stand up motherfucker!" Bobby screamed, took a step backward, and flapped his two palms as a signal for the dying man to rise and resumed his fight.
The man tried to rise but fell instantly as his backbone gave way. "My spinal cord is injured." He scream out in pain, then gave the sign of truce.
"You are dead anyway," Bobby yelled, wriggled out of the blade of another man in a turban who struck at him, then jabbed him in the stomach.
The turban fell off the head of Booby's attacker to reveal his baldness, but that was the least of the dying man's concerns as he fell to the ground.
The rumbling sound in his stomach went mute when the big man plummeted to pinned him to the ground with his two knees, snatched the sword off his hand, and slashed his head off.
The wounded gang leader when rescued quickly gave the signal for his men to flee, and they all raced out of the battleground. Except the few who remembered their frightened horses, hopped on them and galloped after those who fled on legs.
"You are all wusses," Brenda screamed after the retreating men, but none have the time to replied her statement, so she cursed after.
"This was a total waste of time." Zuri groaned out louder.
"Not really," Bobby replied with a grin, as at that moment, Apollon777 and Maria galloped close to them.
"Did we miss the show?" Maria cried out with excitement.
"I bet we do," Apollon777 replied. Hopped off his horse and walked towards Brenda, then asked. "Hope the scepter is back in our custody."
"Yes," Brenda replied. "And their spaceship?" She asked after.
"Somewhere in the sea," Apollon777 replied with a grin.
Maria who just galloped close, removed a bag strapped to her back, jumped down her horse, unzipped the bag to reveal the content inside, then blurted out. "Lots of golds and diamonds inside here."
"Where did you get all these?" Zuri asked as he fixed his gaze on the bars of gold and uncut diamond radiating in the sunny afternoon.
"It's a long story," Maria replied.
"We will let out on our way going," Apollon777 added.
"Let's move," Brenda shouted out, hopped on her horse, and galloped off.
And the men at the hearing of her shouting quickly galloped after her.
Some hours earlier, Apollon777 and Maria galloped into a town at midnight and decided to rest for the night in a bar illuminated with candlelight.
They both entered into the opened gate of the wall guarding the bar and instantly walked into the building.
On the chairs far off were four men who instantly stopped their drinking, smoking, and gambling, then glared at the human and alien who sauntered inside as if they owned the world.
"Who the hell are you?" A fat, black man with a pipe burning in his mouth yelled at them.
"Am Maria and this is Apollon777 beside me." The lady replied.
"And so fucking what?" The man screamed back, looked at the faces of the men sitting beside him, then glared back at the two intruders.
"We need a room for the night," Maria replied.
The men stared back with tremor.
"You need a room with this alien for a night?" Their leader asked stunned.
"Yes," Maria replied. "Any problem with that?"
"No... No... Not at all." The man stammered back.
He whispered for a while then turned back at the intruder and mumbled. "What are you paying for your lodging?"
"Are we paying?" Apollon777 asked back with surprise.
"This is is incredible as I have never paid for lodging since I landed on earth."
"Neither I," Maria added, she blinked her eyes at the men in her front, then announced. "What is your price."
"Food, jewel, drugs, liquor, or sex. Whatever you have to offer." The fat man replied, puffed his pipe, and inhaled the rich smoke, then exhaled it with deep satisfaction as his comrade on seat roared with laughter.
Maria grinned as Apollon777 looked stunned at the man's jest and said. "We have some heirloom over here.
Maria removed a trinket from her neck, then tossed it at the men, who quickly snatched and gape at it. "Will that be enough for our lodging?" She asked after.
"Ha! Sure it will." The man replied as he hungrily stared at the trinket in his hand. He quickly opened the big box under his chair and tossed it inside, locked it, then keep the key inside his hips pocket.
Maria stared at the pile of jewels inside the box the man just locked, then smile at the group in her front, bowed, and mumbled "Have a great night's rest."
"And you too." The man answered back and glared as their visitors strolled towards some sections of rooms far off.
"Choose your favorite among those rooms." He screamed after them, then whispered to his comrade.
"There are still more where this comes from."
"We need more." One among the men whispered back.
When Maria and Apollon777 entered inside a room furnished with a bed, a wardrobe fixed to the wall, and a three-seater chair.
Maria removed all the clothing on her body, then strolled into the bathroom attached to the room to shower, but Apollon leaped into her front and asked. "Why did you give those dummies your trinket?"
"Because am not yet in the mood for a fight." She replied, walked passed Apollon777 into the bathroom then shrieked out instantly. "Those fools have small water left in this basin."
She grumble as she took her bath, and soon emerged outside then exclaimed. "Not even a towel to clean up!"
Apollon had removed the human clothing on his body, then lay sprawling and snoring on the bed.
"Please wake up, and massage my hurting laps." Maria tugged gently at the sleeping alien, but the man snore louder.
"Gush!" Maria exclaimed in anger, then stormed out of the room, into the midst of the men who watched with awe at the approaching naked lady.
"She is coming to offer us sex." The fat man exclaimed, then puffed wildly at his pipe.
"That alien must be a one-minute type." Another man beside him said.
"I agreed with you, even cocks take more time than him." The man at the right side of the smoking man added.
To their shock, when Maria reached their side, she leaped at the man who collected the trinket from her and smashed the pipe in his face with her fist.
The man loomed backward on the chair, but Maria jerked him by the trouser and jabbed an uppercut into his face as he plummeted forward, and the force kicked him off his seating position into the ground.
The man at the right side of the falling man thrust a blow at the naked lady.
His blow landed on Maria's face, and she whirled right, jerked the man closer, and whacked his head on the steel stool beside her.
She punched the throat of the third man who leaped at her, jerked him close, then twist his outstretched fingers backward, smiled at the crunching sound, then jabbed her knee into his face as he staggered forward and the man somersaulted backward and landed with a great sound.
The last man attacked with a broken bottle of the liquor they had been drinking and struck Maria's neck from the back.
Maria stepped right to evade the weapon, stretched her hand and jerked the swirling man off his feet, tossed him up, and smacked him on the wooden table, and the table gave way.
She snatched the bottle off the falling man and stabbed him in the right eye, throat, and thrice in the chest.
She looked around and smiled with satisfaction at her achievement.
"Where is the key to this box?" She asked after.
The dying man shake his head weakly, then tried to remove the key from his hip pocket, but fell back out of exhaustion.
Maria removed the key, unlock the box, and packed all the jewels inside into a bag hung on the wall close to her.
Shortly later, she tied all the men with a strong rope, then turned and marched back into the room to awoke the sleeping alien to perform his compulsory night duty.
