SELAQ
Episode "Fall Star" (22)

***

“Kanda,” Raden Sigar sits cross-legged next to the rumbling Raden Mas Panji.

The giant man, knocking his head with a mace. He still felt dizzy from the impact of his boob earlier.

“It's better. I thought my head was broken,” Raden Mas Panji said.

“Hehe. How could such a big mace be reckless to hit yourself?” said Raden Sigar.

“I have no choice, than to die alone let alone give up on shit Surya, better die together,” Raden Mas Panji's face implies dongkol.

His facial skin stiffened with a grudge. “Then what happened to the others?” tanyanya.

“So I had time to hunt the Selaq until meeting Darwire, Nursiwan, and Kertaji. The Selaqs suddenly put an end to the rebellion. That's when Darwire fainted. I just remembered you passed out here, too. So I implore Nursiwan and Kertaji to see your condition,”

“Good. Then there's Artha Prana's son of a bitch and his army that we have to finish tonight. I want the sly village chief and his gibberishs to be done!”

“Rejoice kanda. Better get some rest first. Let me and the village chief beat up Artha Prana,”

“You underestimated my strength. I once fought with nine tigers and nearly died. But the god of death is even reluctant to come to me!”

“Three times, you told me about it kanda,” Artha Prana gave a smile.

“I don't like you to think of me like a kid who's new to the field of action,”

“Good. Then how are our plans now?” ask Raden Sigar.

“We have to tell that dickhead Darwire is Artha Prana's cunning. It's been too long since he's been lulled in his sweet mouth,”

“I agree,”

But just now the two village heads were about to move suddenly a shadow flashed lightly approaching them.

“Although Mr. Raden Mas Panji,” the shadow figure was apparently one of the elite troops of Tunggak Village. His face implied anxiety.

“What's up?” sahut Raden Mas Panji Hotel.

“Our forces are fighting with the forces of Bunge Village,”

“What happened?”

“Still not clear my lord. The temporary information we received, one of the border guards of Bunge Village shot our combat troops to death. That's what triggered the outbreak of the battle,”

“Articles. What other question is this!” geram Raden Mas Panji. “Command combat troops stop fighting!”

“Please forgive my lord. The situation is so chaotic. The combat troops fought with a flurry of fire. Only you can stop it. Even more complicated are hundreds of troops dressed all in black petrified them,”

“Dhuarrrrr!!!”

Raden Mas Panji smashed the mace into a large rock until it melted. Blood churns. Head's hot. His eyes were twitching. His body trembled violently holding back the anger that was stirring.

“Quick kanda. Let's explain this matter well,” Raden Sigar holds the arm of his brother-in-law. While Raden Mas Panji's body shook with roaring breath.

Just as Raden Sigar finished his sentence, a shadow came again to that place.

“Although my lord Raden Sigar,” said the man with an anxious face and a stammered voice.

Raden Sigar who saw the arrival of one member of his elite troops caught the gelagat is not good. His eyes dodged, then with a pressing tone he said,

“What combat troops do we fight also against the Bunge Village troops assisted by troops dressed in black?”.

The soldier was shocked for a moment. But then immediately justify.

“Ampun. True as you say,”

Raden Sigar's turn was filled with anger. Her eyes are red. But he can control his power so there's no need to destroy anything.

“Kanda, it looks like we are being played,” said Raden Sigar with a riled face.

“We're not being played but in the game again!” sahut Raden Mas Panji Hotel.

“Artha Prana, Artha Prana!!”

“Dhuar ... Dhuars ... Dhuar .. !!!”

Raden Mas Panji is like an idolatry. Striking anything with a mace as hard as possible until it blows. His roaring breath rivaled the sound of the desert wind. His eyes were red as if he was about to jump out!

“Looks like we should meet with Darwire, kanda,” advises Raden Sigar.

“Iya. Before that bastard Artha Prana met him,” snorted Raden Mas Panji. “But before more casualties fall, we must withdraw the fighting troops first,”

“True kanda,” sahut Raden Sigar.

Without a second thought they immediately left the place. Raden Sigar headed towards the North gate, while Raden Mas Panji shot towards the East gate. Their rude steps depicted an indescribable anger of words.

The red monster walked closer to the west gate.

Jayengrana, who was there with other students, was shocked by the appearance of monsters behind them.

“Jayengrana, what is it?” said a shocked college student half-dead to see an unusual figure standing not far from them.

“Entahlah, but what is definitely not a chicken,” chirps.

“Seriously!” the hue of his friend's face flushed. Riled.

“Do I look like I'm joking?” sahut Jayengrana's.

“I mean where there might be a chick that big! Chicken is also thousands of times larger. Can't you find a more acceptable answer?”

“Hmm..” Jayengrana seemed to think hard.

“Enough. I'm not interested in hearing your answer,” the young man beside Jayengrana jumped quickly. Then exclaim “Save yourself!”

“Dhuarrr!!!”

Once lunge, the west gate was instantly sank by the monster's body. Luckily, the gatekeepers and Bunge's college students saved themselves faster.

“Awe-inspiring strength,” murmured Jayengrana.

“Not time to admire!” screech the other disciple, then jump dodge away from the monster.

“Dhuar!” this time the monsters leveled the village walls made of rock formations.

“Slowly once you realize it,” snatch another friend. Legs trembling. He had never seen such a creature.

“This is strange, it should be with such a large body weight that the movement will be slower, but the weight and gravity do not apply to him,” said another.

“You better not come near Jayengrana, the creature likes you. Look now he's walking to our place,” another said.

“Did he fall in love at first sight?” sahut Jayengrana.

“Not time to joke!” a student riled.

Jayengrana's head bowed languidly. “Where is my dignity as leader,”

“As if Jayengrana do something. Don't put that innocent face on,”

“Dhuarrr!!!”

The explosion happened again where Jayengrana and a number of his friends were hiding.  If only they had not jumped, they would have died in that place.

“There's no way we're fighting him. Walls as hard as that are like foam to him, then what about our weapons?” whispered a disciple with a body shivering in fear in hiding, along with Jayengrana and three other disciples.

Jayengrana cross-legged. His head was closed with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

“What is he doing?”

“Thinking,” other sahut.

“Oh, how long?”

Not only had that question been answered, Jayengrana had opened her eyes again.

“Did you manage to find an idea?” ask partner.

“Iya,”

“Ago fast. So how do I do it?” ask the partner.

“Chicken,” said Jayengrana.

The faces of his four comrades turned sour. Dongkol, Jayengrana repeated again calling ‘Child Ayam’.  

“Chicken, can not solve the problem!”

“Listen to me first. Imagine we are all chicks and monsters are human,”

“You mean?” the other sahut.

“How can a chick win against a human?” ask another one.

“Can,” he said with a sure eye highlight.

“How?”

“Try to think, on what condition do humans stop chasing chicks?” jayengrana.

“At what conditions?”

“I know, tired!” say one of them, with sparkling eyes.

“True!” answer Jayengrana. His face was proud of his own idea.

“Don't put on a cool look, we haven't made it,” snatch his partner.

Jayengrana's face instantly turned flat.

But the others, immediately said while patting his shoulder. “Maha Guru Raden Aryadi appointed you as our leader. So, I believe you can organize and save us all,”

“Alright, group of friends. We set the plan here,” Jayengrana said.

Four of Jayengrana's colleagues jumped away. Gathering all the college students. It didn't take long, they had all gathered in that place.

Jayengrana moving hands. Then scratch the ground with a twig, explaining what everyone's position is like.

“How, all understand?”

“Ready!” the other sahut.

Then they split up. Set safe distance.

The number of those who reached seventy people, freely set themselves hiding in the area outside the village bordering the forest.

Until it's finally ready, execute the plan.

And, ...

“Hrrrrggghh!!” monster snarling. He found Jayengrana who was sitting behind him while carrying a piece of wood.

“O’o. Hehe. I went,” Jayengrana's clumsy movements twisted her body, while the monster stared at her sharply.

Then quickly pounced on him.

“Alright, I'm leaving. No need to be that angry,” Jayengrana running in a storm.

As the monster neared, Jayengrana jumped into a traphole.

The hole was previously made by hunters to catch deer or wild boar. The number is up to hundreds with enough size one adult man can get into it.

At the same time, his other comrades appeared, waving their hands towards the monsters.

“Yuhu! I'm here,” the screech teases.

Seeing that there was another figure, the monster ran again in that direction. His movements were violent, triggering the earth to tremble. But after getting close, Jayengrana's partner slipped into another hole. Then immediately followed, his other partner called out monsters.

“As if scratching my ass, it feels itchy,” a student bokongi monsters mischievously.

Seeing that there was a target not far from him, the monster went back to speeding. But eventually it failed again because the hunt went into the hole again.

So next. The monster ran, failed again. Run again, fail again. Repetitively. Eventually exhausted and finally down.

“Bruuukkk!”

“Hore, successfully!” peekik they are excited.
