A HELL OF A FIGHT!
After defeating the jihadists, Brenda and the column with her discussed the presence of the twin's warring team on the other side of the river.
"We have no other choice than marching through the twin's armies at the other side!" Maria announced.
"We can't turn around, but need to plunge ahead." Bobby let out.
"I suggest we talk with them first," Brenda said.
The twins were obstinate and won't listen to any reasoning, talking with them is like talking with a wall, it's useless." Horus let out, after some moment of listening to the debate going on. "I suggest we plunge to them now, and damned any consequences."
"I support Brenda's suggestion of dialogue." The grey hair general let out. "When dialogue fails, then force won't!"
"The twins were powerful and their armies were formidable," Dija let out. "I suggest we try to ally with them first!"
"No!" Augur shrieked out. "I was there general for a while and I can assure you that the twins were selfish and will never fulfill any agreement." Augur walked towards Brenda, then announced. "They see we humans as filthy animals and unworthy of their partnership, to them we are just an object of sacrifice to attain their selfish yearning."
"Let's give peace a chance and dialogue first," Apollon777 said. "You need to ally together to be able to defeat your most common enemies."
"The twins have their agenda and won't ally with any human." Augur answered back. "Nevertheless, we can reason with them first."
"What if they attacked us?" One among the general asked.
"Our armies will be stationed at every strategic position to attack them from the rear, while we fight our way through." The grey hair general answered his comrade.
"It will be a hell of a fight!" The man exclaimed back.
"Good, I see they have captured the leader of the jihadists and hanged him, I suggest we marched towards them, without our armies," Brenda announced, waited a while to hear her objection, then lead the team that will be visiting the twins for a truce.
They saw the twins discussing beside the corpse of the dead commander general of the jihadist and they decided to walk close. Then paused as the twins swirled towards them and one of them cried out.
"Where is our scepter?"
Brenda lead her team towards the identical twins and they halted some miles off.
The legion of dooms shrieked at the back of the twins at the sight of the newcomers. But soon went silent at the rebuke from the twins.
"We want to discuss with you first," Brenda answered back.
"Discuss with us?" Akira mimicked back. "What does a thief have to say to the property owner?"
"Speak up then, you have our ears!" Her sister cried out.
We have a common enemy and will like to ally with you to defend the aliens and restore peace on earth." Brenda announced.
"Ally with you?" Akira asked back.
"What makes you think we need your partnership to achieve our aim?" Her sister asked after.
"Because we gave the scepter." Bobby let out.
"We can order our legions to plunge into you now!" Akira exclaimed at Bobby's words.
"We aren't as stupid as you think," Horus muttered.
The twins reasoned among themselves for a while, then Akira asked. "Why did you cling to the scepter, and what did you intend to use it for?"
"To destroy all the aliens on earth, and prevent their coming back," Apollon777 answered back.
"And you support the massacre of your clan?" Kira whirled at Apollon777, then at Horus, and asked.
"We will be leaving the world in a worse situation than when we arrived." Horus retorted.
"What about us, what are you offering us for partnering with you?" Akira asked.
"Damn selfish!" Dija swore under her breath, then grimaced as Kira smirked back at her. "Damn witches hearing my thought!"
"What did you want?" Brenda asked back. "We are not doing this for ourselves but our children, even though I have none at present."
"We want the control of the world if we allow you to save it," Akira answered back.
"Is that in our position to give?" Bobby asked with a mystified gaze.
"Yes," Horus replied. "Whoever unleashed the scepter will have access to all the world power base and can restore any country's modernization the way it was before we came."
The whole column instantly glared at such power at the grasp of the one who unleashed the scepter.
"No wonder it was sought after by the twins," Augur muttered silently.
"No!" Akira exclaimed at Augur's thought, "we never seek the scepter for the control of the world, but our desire."
"And if we let go, we need a consolation prize." Her sister let out.
Geisha was seen in the new Hooray base and he gazed forlornly at his picture hung at the back of his chair.
His phone rang once, and Geisha instantly accept the call.
"Have sent the invitation to appear before the senate in a week, kindly check your mail to be aware of the day and time." A voice over the phone let out.
"I will check it, and make myself available," Geisha answered back.
"As you are aware of the allegations against you, is there any other information you need to make your defense solid?"
"Yes," Geisha replied. "Who is the witness, and is there any proof submitted to the senate?"
The voice at the other side heaved heavily then replied in a whisper. "Am not supposed to be telling you this."
"Yes," Geisha answered back. "But for the sake of my sacrifices to the crown!"
"That was why I handle your case," the voice answered back, paused, draw another heavier breath then let out. " Hooray known as Horus was the only witness and will be appearing before the Senate to testify against you."
"What can I do to get him out of the way?"
"Whatever you can do over there!" The voice answered back. "He is untouchable as soon as he landed here because I have already signed his immunity document.
" What if he never makes it back alive?"
"Then there is no witness!" The voice exclaimed back, laughed crookedly, then announced. "I wish you good luck, my faithful friend.
Gesha smiled for the fourth time since he landed on earth as the phone was disconnected and perfect peace returned to his office.
But the thought of Horus suddenly removed the fixed smile and he gazed thoughtfully at the irony of life.
Geisha was the one that signed the unknown Hooray and make him known, accept him to be named, gave him his first troops, his first mission, then ordered for his head, when he failed.
Yet this same Horus is the only one that can tarnish Geisha's good record and turned him into a laughing stock that will be laughed at by the incoming generations.
The name Geisha had once built, now represents only one thing to him.
Destruction!"
Geisha pressed the place where its phone was located, waited patiently as the phone rang thrice, and was picked up by a voice that seemed to be waking from a long sleep.
"Damn you!" You dare sleep when you haven't found me Horus's location." Horus barked out.
"No, I was just sick and need to rest." The voice replied. "Am sorry for my action!"
"You dare apologize for your sleeping on duty?" Geisha back out in anger at the Hooray's lack of discipline and pride. "Who is your superior officer?"
"You are sir." The voice replied.
"Then I want your head besides your feet today, but before then, connect me with any other capable officer that won't sleep on duty." Geisha shrieked back in absolute anger.
"A... A minute... A minute-"
"Never mind, just commit suicide, then get reborn with some sense of duty!" Geisha cut into the jabbering of the foolish and irresponsible Hooray, then disconnect the call, think for a while, and dial another number.
The phone rang once, then picked by a hissing voice," at your service sir!"
"I will be sending a document to you, and I want you to find the object as soon as possible."
"Please send it to the board and I will pick it up as soon as it's cleared."
"This is classified and can't pass through the board," Geisha answered back.
The voice stuttered for a while, then said in a whisper," this will cost me my job, sir!"
"And your head if you don't," Geisha threatened back. "I will be ordering for your transferring as soon as you find me what I want."
The voice hesitated for a while, then replied. "I will be given too much for too little, sir."
"No," Geisha replied, then announced. "I will get you named, for your selfless services!"
