Ophidia

CHAPTER THIRTEEN ( Anomolous criminal versus noble warrior.)

    After Mupo and Jackandi's swords clashed, Jackandi swung his other sword at Mupo's head. Mupo

dodged the attack,pushed Jackandi's sword away with his sword and kicked him down, making

Jackandi fall to the floor.

    Whilst he was on the floor, Mupo swung his sword at Jackandi, but he rolled out the way promptly.

He got up and attacked Mupo so fast that he almost failed to block his attack. Mupo tried striking

Jackandi's gut, but Jackandi pushed down his sword, with his two swords and kicked him in the ribs.

It hurt Mupo for a little while, however the pain reduced after sometime." It must be one of the

advantages of being the Njoka. " he thought as he was holding his ribs. He then swung at Jackandi's

throat, however, he ducked under the swinging sword, tucked and rolled till he was behind Mupo

and bashed at his back. Mupo held his sword behind his back, whilst he was still facing foward. This

stopped Jackandi from landing a strike on him.

    Mupo pushed him backwards and quickly turned around to face him. Jackandi then came swinging

at him from both sides, he wasn't able to block this so he ducked and tackled Jackandi, causing

Jackandi to drop one of his swords in the process.

Mupo then kicked his sword far enough for Jackandi not to retrieve it. He struck while Jackandi was

on the ground, but he rolled away again. Mupo realised that ground attacks didn't work on him, so he

needed to find another way to beat him.

    Jackandi tripped Mupo with his leg, making him topple over. He then jabbed at Mupo, even so, he

deflected the strike with his sword. Jackandi swung his sword immediately after the deflection. Mupo

held the hilt and the blade of his sword to block his attack. He then pushed Jackandi away so that

he'd have sometime to get back on his feet.

    Jackandi wasn't going to allow Mupo to get back up. Just as Mupo got up he hit him in the head with

the flat of the blade, making him fall on his front this time. He swung his sword at Mupo's ribs , Mupo

stopped the attack and kicked Jackandi away.

    Jackandi quickly got up, however, he and Mupo were both on their feet. Their eyes locked as they

were panting, trying to catch their breath. They gave each other a look that said 'I'm going to win

this fight'.Then all of a sudden Mupo's sword caught ablaze. Jackandi wasn't surprised since he knew

Mupo was the Njoka. Not even the most composer in Ophidia could hide Mupo's confusion.

"I guess that's another one of the Njoka's abilities."he thought as he wiped the confusion off his

face.

    "That's a nice trick." Jackandi said to the Njoka. "When we're done I'll use it to start a campfire."

Mupo grabbed his hilt even tighter and charged at Jackandi. Jackandi dodged and tried to strike him

from behind, Mupo realised and blocked his sword. This time he flung Jackandi's sword out of his hand

leaving him weapon less.

    He pointed his flaming sword at Jackandi's throat," if you admit defeat, I'll let you leave this place

with your life." The chief looked astonished.

    "Someone has actually beaten Scourge? " He thought, while hiding behind his throne. Jackandi then

smirked and quickly moved away from the flaming sword.

    "Your actually tougher than I thought." He said." But I'm kind of bored now so lets finish this."

Jackandi stood his ground and made two fists. Mupo wondered what the criminal was planning

to do. Mupo swung his sword at Jackandi, this time he caught the sword and punched Mupo in the

face, knocking him down to the ground. "Oww!" Jackandi cried as he was blowing on his hand"that's

freaking hot."

    "IMPOSSIBLE " Mupo thought as he was getting up to strike again. Jackandi didn't even try to

attack him. It was like he was waiting for him to attack. Mupo charged at him although this time he

dodged his attack and punched him in the back.

Mupo tried swinging at his throat, but he ducked and kicked him in the gut. Mupo was starting to lose

his strength. "Time for me to give it my all."he thought. Afterwards he swung in every direction,but

Jackandi avoided every strike and each time he avoided a strike he'd punch Mupo in different areas.

This weakened Mupo bit by bit until he fell to his knees. Mupo's sword then went back to normal. He was

defeated and amazed at the same time. Jackandi ended the brawl with a kick to the face, knocking

the Njoka out.

    Jackandi didn't realise that the chief had reached the door and just as he was about to leave the

room, Jackandi threw the dagger at his hand, stopping him in his tracks. The dagger pinned his hand

to the wall so he was immobile. Jackandi walked to the chief and he was quite tired.

    "Any last words?" Jackandi said so unenthusiasticly. The change knew he was done for so he

went ahead and spoke." Even though I'll no longer be with you Physically, may my soul guide you all

spiritually throughout your journeys."

    "That....that was beautiful " he said with his eyes a little watery. He slit his throat and walked away

from him. After doing that he walked to Mupo and tied him up with Python rope. He then walked to

the chief's corpse, gathered some blood in his hands and wrote his last words on the wall of the room.

He grabbed Mupo and his sword and dragged him, towards the window. After that he put him

on his shoulder and looked back at the room. A servant walked in with some food for the chief and

Screamed at the site of the scene, dropping the food in the process. She looked at the window and

saw Jackandi waving at her with the Njoka on his shoulder and then he jumped out the window.
