FISH OR CRAB?

The legion of dooms was soon left alone, but men galloped at far and trailed them wherever they go.
Kira and Akira ignored the spies at their back and walked along with their warriors.
They marched into Niger state, crossed the big river; known as river Niger and emerged at the catchment city close by.
"They are yet to reach this place," Akira observed.
"I suggest we wait for them here, no other way into the town except through this bridge," Kira added.
The column of two ladies and hundreds of undead men decided to await Brenda's gang, and they formed a barricade to stop any human or alien to pass through.
Kira and Akira prepared their camp bed and laid down to rest their weary bones for a while, as for the zombies, they need no rest and demand none.
Some hours into their deep slumber, a loud noise was heard from men who screamed to awake the two twins.
"We have visitors," Kira announced, then woke her sister beside her.
"Let's go check them out." Her sister answered back.
The twins stood from their laying position and walked outside to meet the crying men.
"We seek some moments with you." A man dressed like a jihadist and accompanied by four more men galloped close, then stopped some miles away from the zombies.
"Who are you, and why did you seek some moments with us?" Akira asked.
"Speak fast, we need to rest our weary bones." Kira let out.
"We want a truce with you and we are ready to lay down our weapons. But you must promise to protect us from our superior officer who will soon persecute us for this decision." The speaking jihadist announced.
"Are you in the position to bargain with us?" Akira asked.
"Yes, " the man replied. "Am the commander of the western region and these are some of my colleagues."
"Can you assure us of your cooperation and protection if we rebel against our general commander?" The second commander asked.
"If you promise never to raise weapons against us, and to send your men to fight with us until we get what we desire," Akira answered back.
"Then we will consider you as our associate and you will be rewarded when we came into control of the world," Kira announced.
"Those can be arranged, we are given you five hundred men to serve as your warriors." The first speaking commander assured.
"But there is a problem, that you need to be aware of." The third general who had remained silent all this while announced.
"What problem is that?" Akira asked.
"Our general commander will soon be here with two thousand men to wage war against you, how are we going to act when he arrives?"
"Command your men to saunter at the back of his men, and they should attack them as soon as we plunge into them." Akira let out.
"Attack them suddenly, and we will soon put him and his men to death," Kira mumbled.
"Whatever happens, Shakau must never leave this place with his head on his shoulder." The first commander let out.
"I assure you that he won't have the chance to," Akira answered back.
"Just do as you were told, and you will have your rebel," Kira said.
The men grinned from ears to ears, turned their horses, and galloped off with satisfying gaze to await their general commander and his troops.
A man that ignites a dry bush during harmattan can never be the only only one to put the fire out.
This is the beginning of the first bloody rebel since the change occurred. The beginning is known, only the supreme can predict the outcome.
As for the men who start the rebellion, they were seen reporting their meeting with the twins to their other two comrades.
"A Fish or a crab?" One among the awaiting general asked with anxiety as soon as the four generals dropped down their horses.
"Crab!" The first general answered back with a grin. "I told you that there is nothing to worry about."
The code; a fish or a crab is common among the jihadists and simply means failure or success. Perhaps, it is from the fact that a crab, dead or alive can easily be caught with bare hands while catching or holding a living fish with bare hands is difficult, if not impossible.
Or maybe the jihadists have their meaning to it.
"Did they agree to our demands?" The second awaiting general asked.
"Yes, they promised to support us, and even appoint us as a commander when
they assumed the post of the world leader." The first general answered back.
"World leader?" The two awaiting generals asked with surprise at the twin's ambitions.
"How possible is that?" One among them inquired with a doubtful peek.
"They are not even thinking of ruling our region?" The second awaiting general looked scornfully and announced.
"They have what it takes to rule the world, and only the aliens can stop them." One of the four generals that discussed with Kira and Akira let out.
"Imagine if we join force with them against the aliens!" The first general gloated. "We will be invincible."
The six generals imagine their alliance with the legions of dooms for a while in deep thought.
"I wish we can ally with the aliens as well!" One among the generals exclaimed, and other generals instantly veered towards him and peeked as if they were just seeing a strange object from the space.
"Please, explain why such an insane wish." The first general asked with a shocking gaze.
"We can approach the aliens as well and see if we can strike a bargain with them, weigh it against the twin's offer, and choose the best. Remember, the aliens are in the best position to win this war" The speaker paused, stare at his listeners, and resumed when he discovered he had all their attention. "- they have the weapons, technology, and communications to rule the world."
"You have a point," one among the listeners replied.
"But will the aliens agree to ally with us?" The first general implored.
"There is no harm in trying." The speaking general replied.
The generals bobbed their heads in agreement with the speaker's idea.
"But there seemed to be another problem." The first general let out. "The general controlling the eastern flank will not agree to our plan."
"Then we will murder him as well, but first and foremost, Shakau must go!"
As for Kira and Akira, they were deep in thought after their encounter with the jihadist's general.
"Are we honoring our agreement with them?" Akira asked.
"Have we ever honored any agreement with mortals?" Her sister asked back. "They may serve as rudiments, but must be tossed off at the appropriate time."
"Our two greatest threats have joined force with those who stole our scepter," Akira announced, look grimly, and resumed her speech. "I feel uneasy whenever I remembered the prophecies."
"We have the power to change whatever plans the gods or goddess may have, we are not mere mortals that will tremble in fear of a baseless prophecy, we are demi goddesses." Her sister replied, she leaned on her sister and stroked her pale cheeks. "Have no fear, my sister. We make our destiny and don't depend on any gods or goddesses."
Her sister smiles weakly and lets out. "Your words gave me strength and have driven my fears away."
"Aye! They were the truth and nothing but the truth.
"What about the aliens?" Akira asked.
"What about them?" Her sister asked back.
"They once stopped us when we are at the point of getting the scepter, we need a permanent solution to their disturbances."
"They will be dealt with, at the right time," Kira answered back. "When it's time to defecate, the anus will open."
"You are not only wise but courageous and filled with positive words!" Her sister exclaimed.
"Aye! You are not far from the truth." Kira answered back. "All we need is to get the scepter and prepare our ritual of perfection and immortality, after that nothing else matters, the aliens can bark and bite if they choose.
" Aye! The scepter is all we ever need." Kira beamed with excitement as her melancholy mood seem to float away at the hearing of Kira's dominant speech.
