A FIGHT-OR-DIE GRIN

"Oh no!" Horus screamed, lunging forward and holding the falling girl as the blade of the arrow pierced into her. Then her body rapidly started turning into ashes and the words in her mouth froze.
Horus looked up, another blazing arrow plummeted towards him, and he instantly hopped off and landed by the bush path, then raced at his attacker, and he was followed by the three generals.
Another arrow plummeted toward the incoming aliens and humans, but they all dived out of its way, and when the two parties meet, conflict occurred.
Horus boobed a weapon lunged at his neck, then stepped left and then backward as the hooray from the correctional headquarter slashed at him.
He jumped up, thrust his leg forward, and smacked it on the chest of his attacker, but the alien held his outstretched legs, whirled it around, and tossed it off, then leaped as Horus landed on the floor for the final slash.
Horus rolled off the alien's thrust, he rolled back and collided with his attacker's knees, then hopped on him as he staggered backward.
He raised his dagger and brought it down at his assailant's throat.
But the alien on the ground knocked the dagger off Horus's hand with his elbow. He raised the hooray on his body up with his strong arms, curled backward, and smacked him down.
Horus jerked his body off his captive as he raise him to smack him the second time, he rolled on the floor and picked up the weapon knocked off his hand, then dived at his opponent.
His thrust at the hooray's head was obstructed, but he slashed back to counterattack.
He strikes with one fist, keeps his elbow behind him, and rotates his fist so its thumb is face down as his elbow opened out, he draws his shoulder to form a straight line, twists his waist, and strikes again.
The blow landed on the alien's face, he blocked the second blow, jerked off his dagger, and slashed as Horus whacked a straight blow on his nose.
The blade of the dagger peel Horus's hand, as he withdrew his blow. He leaped at his opponent and struck an uppercut at his throat.
But the fighting alien stepped off Horus's blow, dived at his outstretched hand, and hold it as he staggered, he twisted his body and lift Horus with his outstretched hand, whirled him over his head, and smacked him on the ground, while his dagger was instantly aimed at Horus chest.
Horus landed with a loud thud, he quickly curled his body forward and knocked at the alien's knee, then jerked him closer and snatched the dagger off his hand, then plunged it into his gut as he fell on him.
The first general leaped at the front of the second alien to block his thrust at Horus from the back. His sword clashed against the alien who instantly whirled left to counterattack.
The alien jumped and struck at the general's head, but the man thrust his sword forward and slashed back.
The general dropped the sword in his hand, looked at the alien-fighting him, and screamed out. "Drop your weapon and fight me like a man, oh! you aren't worthy to be called human." The man gloated as the alien before he struck, missed, and struck again.
"Damn sissy fighting like a human."
The alien groaned aloud, dropped his weapon, and hopped at the human in his front.
The first general bobbed the alien straight punch by taking a step backward, he then take two steps forward, whirl left to evade another straight blow, struck at the alien's leg, then punched him in the face as he staggered.
The alien staggered for a while, raised his body as he regain his balance, but the human fighting against him leaped at his side, hold his head and knocked it down with his two elbows, raised his two knees, and smatched it into his face as he plummeted to the ground.
The first general jerked the alien up to his feet, curled his two hands at his back, heaved him up, and smacked his face on the ground. He saw the alien's tail thrusting forward and he quickly jerked his hand forward and catch its head, then crushed it together with his two palms.
The alien kicked the man weakly on his chest, but he held tight to the tail, in anger, the alien held the man tight, raised him, and whacked his head on his face.
"Is that all you got, weakling?" The general teased louder. "You are weaker than my shadow!"
The alien removed its last dagger, punched the man in the face, then leaped at him as he let go of his tail.
The first general saw the blazing dagger aimed at his throat, he stepped back, jumped up, and whirled his left leg at the incoming weapon and knocked it off the attacker's hand, while his right leg knocked the alien's chest.
The alien staggered backward and fell.
The first general leaped at the fallen alien, picked the dagger thrown on the ground as he staggered, and hopped at the alien's back. He jerked his neck backward and thrust the dagger into it.
The second and the last general fight against the third alien, both circled him and hacked at him, but he blocked the first thrust, then leaped up and slashed at the second thrust.
The alien slashed at the knees of the man in his front, he stooped and dived off the blade of the sword that would have decapitated his head.
The third general thrust his sword at the alien's breast, but a punch in the throat deflect his thrust and he whirled backward.
The third alien jumped up and front kicked the fourth general on his chest with his two feet, he landed and somersaulted at the staggering alien, then faked an uppercut.
The third general saw the uppercut and bobbed it by stepping left, he struck a straight blow on the face of the attacking alien, looked up sharply as a tail that looked like a cobra's head thrust at him and he tried to dived off its bite, but the alien jerked him closed, whacked his head on his face and bite him with his tail on his cheek.
The general cried out in pain as the venom raced towards his heart. He felt breathless and staggered as the ground whirled under his feet.
Everything became numb as the venom reached the general's heart and he fell dead instantly.
When the alien whirled back to his fighting, he saw four human eyes and two alien eyes peering at him and he raced to meet them with a fight-or-die grin.
Horus stepped in front as the last assassin alien from the correctional department raced closer, he raised his hand forward, draw the left hand backward, and aimed the arrow at the incoming alien, who suddenly stopped at the sight of Horus's weapon.
"No!" The alien cried out as the arrow plummeted forward and stuck into his chest. He looked forlorn at Horus, tried to make a speech, and suddenly became silent as he turned into dark ash.
"For Risha!" Horus screamed and burst into tears at the memory of the lady who gave up her life for him to live.
When Kira and Akira woke up and saw the dead youngsters around their camp, they quickly put the wounded one to death and resumed their journey.
After several hours of walking, the twins emerged at the sealed border of Niger state and intermixed with the mobs that have turned the border into their homeland.
"Why is everyone closed off at the other side of the border?" Akira asked one young lad that was busy romancing his girlfriend in broad daylight.
"The lad looked at her for a while with a puzzled gaze, " the border is closed, as you can see." He replied with a sneer at the questioner and instantly resumed his amorous affair.
"By who?" Akira asked.
"The jihadist of course." The youngster replied, after another moment of deep kissing with the lady on his knees.
Akira walked toward the two lovers, jerked the lady off the lad's knees, and touched her forehead as she tried to protest.
The lady jerked for a while, then looked at her with a dead gaze.
"What have you done to my girlfriend?" The lad screamed out, jumped up from his sitting position, and jabbed a blow at the lady's face. "You will pay "
The words in his mouth froze, as Akira stepped off the jab, grabbed the outstretched hand, whirled the lad in her front, then jerked him closer and her other hand instantly raised forward and touched his forehead.
The lad, like his girlfriend, shakes violently for a while, then the dead gaze steals over his raging look.
"Let's turn all of them to our warriors," Akira said.
"To what purpose?" Kira asked back.
"To wage war against the jihadists." She replied.
"But those who stole our scepter couldn't have gone through their midst!" Kira exclaimed.
"Yes," her sister agreed. "But this is the quickest route to intercept them."
