Two insane idiots
The lost tribe.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA month has passed, and the zebras are slowly becoming a small little bug that will soon be stomped out. The children have grown to accept me as their new father, and have begun to go along with things. But the leaders daughter, Sarah, has been just a living hell to deal with. I rather face a goddamn god then have to deal with her, so that's why, I'm making Tyler take care of her. That'll teach him not to put a fucking torn apart ear in my beer. That asshole. Anyways, I have just gotten word from the other armies, and now know that they are right at the zebra kings doorstep. We are nearly there as well, but we have lost contact with our spies. They were lost in a large swamp that we have to go through. I've sent droids, but we lost contact with them as well. We're already late, so I have decided the enter the swamp, and clear a path. I was going alone, but Darkness wanted to come, not sure why though. All I'm going to do his make a path through he swamp. Oh well. Tyler, and Shadow will stay back with the army, and the kids. We will be taking spec ops droids.. Hopefully we will easily, and quickly clear a safe path for our main army, and reach the zebra kings doorsteps in time to help the other armies take it over. I'm still soooo fucking tired, and I just want to get this over with so I can finally get some goddamn SLEEP!
[Jacobs pov]
I opened my eyes, and yawned. "Goddamn my life." I mumbled, and slowly rose from my bed. I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck. "Fuuuuuuuuuuk." I moaned, and exited my bed. I grabbed my hoodie, and walked out of my tent. All fifty of the spec ops droids, and Darkness were all awaiting me. I raised an eyebrow. "What are you all doing here?" I asked, and stretched my arms.
"Aren't we clearing the swamp today?" She asked. I grinned, and slapped my forehead.
"Of course! How could I have forgotten?" I said. Soon my grin left, and I closed my eyes, and focused. I opened my eyes, and held a fresh cup of coffee. I took a sip, and looked at Darkness. "I'll meet ya at the edge of the swamp." I said, and walked past her, and the droids. I heard her groan, and start to march off with the droids. I walked through the camp with my coffee, and smiled to see the children run around. Sure this is a camp for an army of souls killers, but the children bring a little life to the place.
"Hey Jacob!" A small voice yelled. I turned, and saw Ricky running towards me with his blanket tied around his neck like a cape, and his stuffed bear in his right hand. I smiled, and kneeled to my knee.
"Hey little man, I see your the hero of the camp today." I said, and patted him on the head. "So, what adventures do you have planed today?"
"I'm gonna protect the world from the evil forces, and lead my own droid army!" He said, and struck a pose. I chuckled, and bowed my head.
"Well, sounds like I don't have to worry about being beaten. Your right there ready to fight them off." I said, and rose to my feet. "Well, I'll most likely be gone for the day, so you protect the camp, your brothers, and sisters while I'm gone. I'm counting on you." I said, and saluted him. He saluted back, and he ran off back to his brothers. I smiled, and turned to see Tyler walking towards me. "What's up?"
"That damn little girl is up!" He yelled, and yanked my coffee out of my hands, and took a big chug of it.
"Well, your welcome." I said. "What's wrong with her?" I asked.
"She a little brat! Give me this, give me that, this isn't warm enough, this isn't cold enough, I'll tear her apart!" He said, and threw the coffee to the ground.
"Calm down, calm down, if she's really that big of a deal, then have a droid watch her while you take a break." I said.
"I already did that, and every droid that did that killed themselves!" He yelled. I sighed, and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Well, your fucked." I said. "Well hopefully you can gain control. Anyways, I got to head out. I'll contact you if anything happens." I said, and began to walk away. "Good luck!" I shouted.
"Fuck you!" Tyler yelled. I chuckled, and made my way towards the edge of the swamp, but as I was almost out of the camp, I saw Shadow.
"Watch Tyler would ya?" I said while passing her. I head her sigh.
"What am I, his babysitter?" She asked.
"I guess so!" I said, and exited the camp. After an hour of walking, I finally caught up with Darkness, and the spec ops droids. She had a annoyed look placed on her face. As soon as I was close enough, she flicked my forehead. "Hey, what's that for?" I asked.
"What took you so long?" She asked.
"I was just relaxing." I said with a grin. She sighed.
"Whatever, lets just get this over with." She said. I nodded, changed into my armor, and I marched in front of the group.
"Alright droids, lets get a move on!" I shouted. I turned towards the swamp, and began to walk into the swamps misty forest.
[Two hours later]
"I fucking hate this place!" I yelled, and pulled my leg out of a pit of slime. We have been walking for two hours, and found a safe path, but still haven't found any of the lost droids, or spies. Guess they got sucked into the ground. Oh well, we found a path, and now we're heading back. But I feel like someone is watching us. The droids haven't picked anything up, but I just have a feeling like something bad is going to happen.
"Jacob!" I snapped out of my mind, and looked over to Darkness. "Jeez, I said your name like a hundred times. Come here and look at this." She said. I walked over, and raised an eyebrow. It was a pile of dead spies, and torn apart droids. At the top of the pile was a flag. A symbol of a scorpion was painted on the white flag, and blood stained the ground around the pile.
"Any idea who could have done this?" I asked. She was silent for a moment, but she soon spoke.
"This symbol, this symbol is the sign of the lost zebra tribe." She said in shock. I sighed.
"Mind filling me in on this 'lost tribe'?" I asked.
"The stories say they are a tribe of lost souls who were exiled from their lands, and were forced to live underground. They say the tribe escaped from their underground prisons, and covered the zebra kingdom with hate, war, and blood. A massive war broke out, and the lost tribe was sealed off in their underground prison for all of eternity. But a few say a small army of them had escaped, and awaited for the right time to strike. Shadow always told me stories about them, and how incredible fighters they were. But I always thought she was pulling my tail. She looked at me, and smiled. "But it looks like it was all true." I rolled my eyes.
"So they are a small army of zebras, big deal." I said, and rose to my feet.
"Jacob, it took three gods to stop them. All of the kingdoms came together to fight them, but they hardly even won. The only reason they won was because they had magic on their side." She said with a serious look.
"How long was the war anyways?" I asked.
"Three thousand years." She said with a blank expression. I just chuckled.
"Damn, wish I could have been there, sounds like some fun times." I said with a evil grin. Soon a spec ops droid approached us.
"Sir, several contacts are surrounding us." The droid said, and held out a scanner. He was right, several red dots were appearing out off thin air, and surrounding us.
"Shit." I mumbled, and pulled out my rifle. "Droids, rally up on me in defensive position!" I shouted. The droids jumped into action, and formed around me, and Darkness. I switched to thermal vision, and scanned the area. They were everywhere. They circled us like a pack of wolves, and several more came out of no where. I aimed my rifle. "On my mark!" I shouted.
The droids aimed their weapons. and awaited my signal. After a few moments, everything slowed down, and a zebra covered in black armor, and several different bones, launched out of the swamp with a curved sword. I pulled the trigger, and everything snapped back to normal. The bullets tore through the air, and sent the zebra flying back. "FIRE!!" I roared. The air was filled with the sound of battle cry's, and rapid gunfire. Several of the zebras came charging out of the forest, and a lot more jumped into the trees firing arrows, and threw large ax's. Several of the charging zebras fell like a sack filled with rocks, but even more took their place, and continued the charge. Thanks to the spec ops droids armor, the projectiles did little damage, but some of the zebras got a lucky shot, and a few of the droids fell dead to the ground. "Aim for the zebras in the trees!" I yelled, and fired my rifle into the trees. Half of the droids aimed up at the trees, and unleashed a storm of lead. Several zebras fell out of the tree either dead, or injured. I put in a fresh magazine, and scanned the battle. They were closing in, fast. I pulled out my crystal, closed my eyes, and focused. My eyes snapped open, and I saw black swords attached to the droids backs. All of the zebras in the trees were dead so I put away my rifle, and pulled out my sword. "Lets cut these bastards to pieces!" I yelled. The droids drew their swords, and charged into the waves of zebras. I looked to Darkness, and smiled. She smiled back, and we both charged towards the battle. I shot into the air, and crashed down into the crowd of zebras. I was now in the middle of the horde of zebras, and began to slash away. I gave a hard blow into a zebras gut, and plunged my sword into his throat. I kicked the zebra off of my sword, and did a full 360. Every zebra that was around me fell dead to the ground, and blood rained down on me. Several zebras charged at me, and all together grabbed me. I felt their ax's, and swords crashed down onto my armor, and felt an intense rage flow through me. Soon my wings shot out, and sent the zebras flying. Several of them crashed into trees, and others into other zebras. I looked around, and saw that the remaining zebras were retreating. another soldier came from my left, and slashed at me, but I quickly dodged his attack and grabbed his jaw. An insane smile shot onto my face as I began to slowly pull the poor little zebras jaw apart. I could hear the sound of flesh tearing, and bone cracking. My victim struggled, and screamed in pain, but I was having to much fun. I looked into his eyes, and saw rage. Strange, they I always see fear, but this was new. Once the jaw was about to rip off, I gave a mighty roar, and pulled the zebras jaw right off. The zebra gurgled, and squirmed on the ground. Blood sprayed onto the ground, and onto my boots. Soon, the body ceased movement, and just laid still on the could, wet soil of the swamp. I stood tall, and gave a evil smile. My wings sunk back into my back, and I put away my sword. I scanned the battlefield, and felt happy. Bodies littered the swamp, and the blood mixed with the brown, muddy water. I gave a dark chuckle, and saw Darkness inspecting a dead zebra. "Droids, secure the area, and await further orders!" The droids saluted, and began to secure the area. I walked over to Darkness, and kneeled down besides her. "Haven fun?" I asked. She rolled her eyes, and pointed towards the dead zebra.
"Look, he has a scorpion on his armor, they all do." She said.
"So?" I asked.
"So that means they are part of the lost tribe!" She yelped, and clapped her hands.
"I thought they were incredible fighters." I said.
"They are incredible fighters."
"Then why aren't we dead?" I asked. She growled, and punched my arm. I chuckled, and raised to my feet. "Well, it's getting dark, lets head back." I said, and signaled the droids. Soon we got back onto the path, and continued towards the camp. Soon after hours of walking, we reached the edge of the swamp, but I froze when I saw a horrifying sight. The camp was engulfed in flames. I could hear gunfire, and explosions, and saw zebras charging through the camp. My rage overwhelmed me, and my wings shot out. I looked back to Darkness. "Find the children, and keep them safe." I said. She nodded, and I launched into the air like a rocket. Soon I was over the camp, and spotted Tyler, and his droids fighting off a horde of zebras. I roared with intense rage, and smashed into the earth, and sent the horde of zebras flying. I slowly rose to my full height, and saw Tyler holding his left arm.
"About damn time you made back." He said.
"Where's Shadow?" I asked.
"She's with the children." I sighed with relief, but I could still feel pure rage.
"Good, good, go find her, and take the children some where safe. Actually, take all of the droids, and retreat from the camp. I'll take care of these bastards." I said with a evil smile. He nodded, and gathered his droids. I heard a large roar, and turned to see a horde of zebras charging me. I grinned, and licked my lips.
"Lets have some fun!"
[Tyler's pov before the attack]
"This is to hot, take it back!" Sarah yelled, and threw a cup of tea at a droid. The droid began to shake violently, and quickly pulled out a pistol. I looked away, and heard a gunshot. I rolled my eyes, and pointed towards another droid.
"Your up!" I said. The droid saluted, and marched into the tent.
"Where's my tea!?"
"God have mercy on his robot soul." I said, and shook my head. I spawned a cooler of fresh beers, and snatched a beer out of the cooler. I took a sip, and laid back in my seat. I looked up, and saw Shadow walking towards me.
"How's the kid doing?" She asked. I was about to reply, but I was interrupted by a gunshot. I looked over my shoulder, and saw a dead droid being dragged out by another droid. "Well, that's a new record." I sighed. I looked over to a near by droid, and pointed at him. "Get in there." The droid saluted, and inched his way into the tent.
"I want my tea! WHERE'S MY TEA!?"
"God help me!"
I looked back towards Shadow. "Does that answer you question?" I asked with a smile. She chuckled, and spawned a seat. She sat down, grabbed a beer, and laid back.
"How long have Jacob, and Darkness been gone?" She asked. I shrugged, and took a sip of my cold drink.
"Not sure, maybe a hour, or two."
"They left in the morning, and now it's almost dark. I think they've been gone a little longer." She said.
"Whatever, I got this little shit crying about every little thing that doesn't please her." I said, and sighed. "Why did we even bring these kids? We're here to kill them, not adopt them." I said.
"Well Jacob seems to really care for them, any ideas why?" Shadow asked. I gave a heavy sigh, and looked at Shadow.
"Jacob... Jacob didn't really have a childhood. In fact, he spent his childhood on the streets." I said.
"So he was homeless?"
"No, he had a home, but he hated it. The place was a piece of shit, and it was filled with disgusting vermin, and I'm talking about his family. His home was falling apart, and none of the bills were paid because his parents kept buying fucking drugs, and other kinds of fucked up shit." I said with disgust. I chuckled a bit. "The place didn't even have any water, they used water from the sewer, and the fucking toilet was a BUCKET! I swear, you'd feel like you were in one of Hitlers camps. But his home wasn't the worst part, nope, it was his parents. Not only did they buy drugs, and shit, but they would beat Jacob like a goddamn dog. Every day he came to school with new injures, cuts, burn marks, and even broken bones. I still cant believe the school, or anyone else didn't notice."
"Wow, must have been tough." Shadow said.
"It was even tougher for me. I had to watch as my friend get beaten, and abused. I tried to tell others, but no one ever did anything about it. Luckily once me, and Jacob were old enough to move out, I helped him get a better job, and let him live with me. Man, his fucking smile was huge when he told off his parents, it was so satisfying for him, and me." I said, and smiled. "But to sum it up, Jacob still has a good heart, even if he's fucking nuts." I chuckled, and chugged the rest of my beer down.
"Well, he may be nuts, but he's still a complete idiot sometimes." She said with a smile. I smiled back, and chuckled.
"I guess so, but I may be the blame for that part." I grinned. She rolled her eyes.
"Should have known." She chuckled. I looked up at the sky, and sighed.
"This is boring, why does Jacob, and Darkness get to have the fun?" I asked.
"Well, clearing a path for the army isn't really 'fun'." She said. I shrugged. I was about to say something else, but Ricky popped out of no where.
"Hey Tyler, where's Jacob? Is he back yet?" He asked. I shrugged, rubbed his head.
"Not sure little dude, but he should be on his way back." I said with a smile. He huffed.
"But what if something happened, what if he in danger!?" He said with worry in his voice. I laughed, and shook my head.
"No way, that guy is a freaking machine, nothing can stop him but me." I said. He looked sad for moment, but soon he perked up, and nodded with a large smile.
"Yeah, your right, nothing can stop him!" He shouted. Me, and Shadow chuckled. Soon Shadow rose from her seat, and looked down at Ricky.
"Come on, lets go find the others. We'll play some games." She said. Before Ricky could say anything, a massive explosion shook the earth, and fire and pitch smoke filled the air. Soon gunfire, and the roar of an army was heard. I jumped to my feet, and looked to Shadow.
"Get Ricky, and the other kids somewhere safe, and take as many droids you want. Go!" I ordered. Before she could say a word, I changed into my armor, and bolted towards the battle. I met up with a platoon of droids, and rallied them to me. "What's the situation?"
"Sir, unknown contacts are attacking from the wood lines, and have already destroyed at least a hundred droids."
"So they aren't zebras?"
"They are zebras sir, but they are not in armor that is made for solders. They seem to be a rouge force."
"Great, a bunch of savages. Alright boys, I want heavy droids in the back, and regular droids in the front! We are going to push through the camp, and help push the enemy back! Lets move!" I shouted. The droids got into position, and we began to quickly move through the camp. Once we reached the frontlines, a horde of zebras were overrunning a group of droids. I gave the signal, and the platoon halted. "Ready to fire!" I shouted. the droids aimed their weapons, and waited for action. Once the group of droids were torn apart by the horde, the zebras began to charge towards us. I counted to three slowly , and aimed my rifle. "FIRE!!" I pulled the trigger, and let the first bullet fly through the air, and into the horde of zebras. Shortly, the droids let hell fly out of their weapons, began to tear down the zebras. Like a swarm of fly's being sprayed by bug spray, the zebras fell in great numbers. The heavy droids were doing most of the work with their massive guns, and grenade launcher's. But soon a glowing bottle crashed down in front of me, and I was sent flying back into my droids. I cringed at the pain, but I quickly recovered, and stumbled to my feet. I looked up, and my eyes went wide once I saw the wave of glowing bottles flying towards me, and the droids. "SHIT!" I screamed, and looked back to the droids. "GET DOWN!!" The droids separated, and only a few got into cover before the bottles crashed to the ground. Several droids were torn apart, and flung into the air by the multiple explosions. I was hit again, but this time I remained on the ground. I slowly pushed myself up, and saw more zebras emerging from the pitch black smoke. "Droids, on me!" I shouted. About twenty droids, and three heavy droids formed up on me in defensive position. But before I could give any other orders, a large blue beam tore through the air, and made contact with a heavy droid. The heavy droid burst into flames, and fell to it's knees with smoke, and fire flowing out of it. The horde of zebras halted, and made a path. Soon a tall, black figure walked through the path, and stood tall in front of the horde. The stranger was all in black, and had a wolfs skull for a helmet. He wore black armor, and held a strange staff with a blue crystal at the top. His face was covered, but I could still see his eyes. They were glowing red, and blue, and sent chills down my spine. I stood tall, and stared at the stranger. Soon he began to chuckle.
"Well, looks like your one of the beast that have been slowly taking over the zebra kingdom. I am honored." He said, and bowed. I raised an eyebrow, and lifted my rifle to my shoulder.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"That is none of you business!" He growled, and rose to his full height. "You are unworthy to stay on this land, and you shouldn't even be here. If you value your life, you will leave now!" He yelled. I just stared at him for a while, and burst out into laughter. Soon I regained control, and looked at the stranger.
"Well, here your answer... Fuck you." I said, and flipped him off. "I rather fucking be a damn sex slave, than run away from a fight. So lets go motherfucker!" I roared, and aimed my rifle. I pulled the trigger. The bullet made contact with his chest, but it was reflected by a purple shield that was covering his body. Before I could react, the stranger was right in my face, and his fist slammed into my gut. I shot into the air, and landed hard onto the earth. I looked up, and saw my droids being torn apart by a single man. "Fall back, fall back!" I shouted. The remaining droids pulled away from the fight, and helped me to my feet. "Let's move, and regroup." I said weakly. The Two droids helped me walk, and the rest covered us by firing into the horde of charging zebras. Whoever this guy was, he was nothing like a zebra. At this point, it doesn't matter, what matters is that we fight them back, and wait until Jacob, and Darkness get back. We quickly pushed through the camp, and made it to the center of the camp. A group of droids were holding position, and awaited my orders. "Hold this position, and kill anything that isn't on your side!" I shouted. I spawned some sandbags, and a medical droid. I was surprised at how fast the droid could heal. Sure I was still a bit banged up, but I was a lot better then before. Anyways, once I was ready, a large horde of zebras were charging through the camp towards us. I put in a fresh magazine, and smiled.
"Lets have some fun."
[Jacobs pov]
"Lets have some fun." I said with a wicked smile. I aimed my sword towards the horde, and charged. I shot towards the zebras like a bullet, and jumped into the air. I slammed down into the horde, and slashed away. A few zebras jumped onto my back, but I easily flung them off with my wings. I plunged my sword into the skull of a charging zebra, and did a 360 with the zebras dead corps still on the sword. The corps slammed into other zebras. Soon the corps slipped off of the blade, and went flying into three zebras. I twisted around, and ducked under a on coming blade. I quickly shot up, and grabbed the zebra by the throat, and squeezed until I felt, and heard a crack. I threw the body into the air, and gave a hard blow to a zebras chest. He fell like a sack of rocks, and didn't get back up. Soon I was being surrounded by more, and more zebras, and decided to get rid of these vermin. I closed my eyes, and shot into the air like a rocket. Soon I hovered above the crowd of zebras, and opened my eyes. I raised my hand into the air, and let a another ball of fire, and rock form in my hand. Once the ball of death was about to burst, I smiled, and looked down to the earth. "Say goodnight!" I roared, and shot the ball towards the zebras. I saw how they scattered like ants, but it was no use. Once the projectile made contact with the earth, fir swept across the camp, and the burning rocks crushed the fleeing zebras. From my view the fire looked like a virus spreading at great speed, and killing anything in it's way. Soon the chaos ended, and the remaining zebras began to retreat back into the swamp. I chuckled, and rubbed the sweat off of my forehead. "Now that was reeeealy satisfying." I said.
I cracked my neck, and was about to slowly fly back down to the earth, but I felt something slam into my back. I felt my breath disappear from my lungs, and felt the air blowing past my face at great speed. Soon I crashed down into the ground, and made a large crater. My vision was fucked, and I couldn't breath. My body was on fire, and I couldn't move. I couldn't even think. I felt blood run down my face, and saw a blurry figure with wings slowly approach me. I tried to move, but nothing happened. Soon my vision slowly came back, and I saw a strange figure with wings, black armor, and a glowing staff walking towards me.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, letting your guard down, really? Aren't you the top dog? Maybe they are just stories, and your nothing but I little bug with some powers, and a army." He said, and stomped on my chest.
*CRACK*
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Awww, did that hurt? Poor baby." He said, and pointed his glowing staff at me. "Time to go to slee-" He was interrupted by a signal bullet to his arm. He yelled in pain, and backed away. I looked over, and saw Tyler, Shadow, Darkness, and the spec ops droids. I heard him chuckle. "Well, this will have to continue another time my friends." He said, and raised his hand with a strange symbol. Soon a portal opened, and he walked through it, but before it closed, he looked back. "See ya later Jacob." The portal closed, and I saw Tyler, and the sisters surround me. They were saying something, but I couldn't hear anything anymore. My vision began to fade, and soon I was overwhelmed by the darkness.
"Fucking asshole."
