Chapter 121: Tell It To The Emus
The scene changed nearby luscious area in the desert, we see emus all gathered up and lined like soldiers.
We see General Supremu who was walking back and forth in front of his fellow birds.
General Supremu: Men, during my usual routine of munching on leaves I noticed two hunters, those two tried to assassinate me!
The emus gasped.
General Supremu: Yes I know, but I managed to thwart the attack, neutralize them and retrieve to safety. Which leads me to one conclusion....
He stopped to look at one emu with a stern look.
General Supremu: The government has decided to declare war on us again....It seems those blokes never learn that us emus are never gonna be kicked out from raiding their farms whether they like it or not!
The emus cacawed and made other various noises, to cheer their leader.
General Supremu: I had grandparents and a father that participated in the wars...they told me that an emu doesn't give up and that an emu will face a gun but never run away. It inspired me to be the patriarch for all of us, to be the general that all of you want!
He then turned into his human form. He was now a middle aged man with fair skin, a brown beard, black colored eyes. He wore a black helmet with 5 stars scattered up front, a green military jacket with a yellow collar, black pants and brown combat boots.
General Supremu: We're gonna storm down the farms, ravage anyone and anything and take the food before moving to the next location. If those maggots want a war with us....They got one!
The scene changed to the camp, we see Dario, Luke and Night Howler sitting around a nearby campfire.
Dario: And that's how me and Marcus got bodied by that emu.
Night Howler: That explains everything.
Dario: That was a different colored emu that we faced, without a doubt the mastermind. He dashed to us like her was the road runner and made monkeys out of us.
Luke: I can just imagine that.
Dario: Regardless, tomorrow morning we are going out there as a team and we're hunting down that thing.
Then he was left in silence, pondering.
Dario: Tho, I never hunted an emu before. Nyx, you're out Australia expert here, how do we catch or hunt an emu?
Night Howler: They're afraid of fire and-
???: Noise, lots of noise.
They turned to see Katherine who approached them with a bit of an uncomfortable and sad look.
Dario: Katherine?
Night Howler: Kat, ya alright mate?
Katherine: Yeah I'm alright, just wanted to get some fresh air and all, I love when it's nighttime.
Dario: And where's you boyfriend at?
Katherine: Had to go take care of something...I don't really care about it. He can fuck off.
Luke: So emus are afraid of noises?
Katherine: More like can't stand it, they'll resort to flight rather than fight when they hear a lot of it.
Dario: Ah so you have experience in this?
Katherine: Well, more like deter emus from coming in this part of the territory. Those birds are everywhere recently.
Dario: You don't say....well this is gonna be a bit of a problem...
Katherine sat on the ground next to him.
Katherine: Wait that's why you're here for? The emus?
Dario: Well our boss' friend said he had emus raid farms out of nowhere, being pests and all.
Night Howler: And we're sorta acting like a pest control to deter those damn birds away.
Dario: Me and Marcus managed to encounter what seemed to be the leader, his name is General Supremu-
Katherine: Supremu? What an amusing name.
Dario: I faced many things in life. I faced maneaters, scammers, dictators, hell even the devil in wolf's clothing. But never have I faced someone as ridiculous as this.
Katherine: Maneaters, scammers? What? Well I shouldn't be surprised because judging by the rifle of yours and this fancy talk, I say you're a big game hunter. Never been to Australia before? *tilts head*
Luke: I did, it's where I met Nyxie here~.
Night Howler: Oh you. *winks back*
Luke then yawned as he was getting tired.
Luke: Man is there any place I can sleep?
Katherine: Yeah, let me-
Night Howler: No no, don't worry I'll show him. I am tired as well so we'll be sleeping. Night you two.
The two left, it was just Dario and Katherine who just sat in silence. Before it was broken by the dingo herself.
Katherine: So...what type of rifle is yours?
Dario: Bolt action, my boss bought it for me as a promotion. It's called Grantham Crowheart.
Katherine: Badass name, can I see it?
Dario gave her his rifle as she examined it like a child with a present on Christmas.
Katherine: Looks cool, I see you've been taking good care of it instead of neglecting it.
Dario: Haha, yeah when free time I clean it or I practice with the boys back in Florida.
Katherine: So you're full fledged American?
Dario: Half American, half Macedonian. If you don't know what that is, I'm half Slavic.
Katherine: Ah, cool.
She smiled at him.
Dario: Nice arm warmers, tho don't you think it's warm for a weather as hot as here in Australia?
Katherine: Yeah...but they look comfortable...
She looked away with a smile, but her eyes said otherwise. Dario could tell something was off, and why she wore arm warmers.
Dario: So...tell me more about yourself.
Katherine: What do you mean by that?
Dario: I'm all ears, let's hear the great Katherine. I wanna see what makes you special, a girl that managed to match me in combat deserves my ears for listening.
The dingo was astonished, but smiled.
Katherine: Well...I'm sort of into stuff like guns and fixing them or whatnot.
Dario: Ah so like you dismantle and then build them in your spare time? Here in the desert?
Katherine: Well, I wish to go to Sydney since we're close...but Dick is being an ass about since he doesn't like humans like you.
Dario: I can tell, also what's with him? The dude holding you back, like he's some kind of control freak, stand up for yourself girl.
Katherine: Wish I could but....
She went silent and looked down at her legs, her eyes slowly forming tears. Dario was worried for her, he felt bad as he didn't meant to instigate this.
Dario: My bad, i shouldn't delve deeper into-
Katherine: No no it's fine...
She sighed.
Dario: Kat...does he abuse you? Does he hit you? Why does he treat you like trash?
Katherine: Not just that, but he also sleeps with other dingos.
Dario: *disgusted* He actively cheats on you, you know this and why haven't you broken up with him?
Katherine: I wish I could but he would...you know...
Dario: Stop...
He closed his eyes thinking for a few seconds, to compose himself.
Dario: You know how to fight, why not fight back?
Katherine: I'm too scared...I'm kind of the person to not wanna draw any attention...
Dario: Kat listen. You're a great girl, I sympathize you....
He sighed as he was getting increasingly angry by everything he has been hearing.
Dario: If I were you I'd stand my ground, not let some arrogant little prick bossing me around and tell me what to do. I hate bosses, I only follow those that are worth, someone that I can respect, not someone to play like he's your god. Yeah sure I have a boss, but the guy is welcoming, warming. I used to not trust him like you, I used to feel afraid of him doing something to me. But in the end I saw a different light in him, Seth is the best boss I could ask for.
He then grabbed one of Kattherine's wrists softly, the dingo looked at him in surprise.
Dario: I encourage you to be something you are more. You're no chewtoy or a plaything for some fucker's game, be yourself.
Katherine was shocked at his words of encouragement to her, she had grown to have an admiration for him, someone to listen to her struggles.
Katherine: I....Don't know what to say...
Dario: No need...hearing this reminds of an experience during my childhood....
He looked away in shame.
Dario: You told me your secret, might as well tell you one of mine...Back when I was 6 years old, my mom and dad got into an argument...there was a lot of violence going on...dad was drunk that time....I felt powerless as I couldn't do anything to stop dad from hurting mom....They divorced when I was 7...
Katherine: Poor you, here...
She wrapped her arms around Dario and comforted him.
Katherine: Guess...we both have some experience what abuse is like....
Dario: Tell me about it, which is why I encourage you to stand up and don't let him be the boss of you.
???: Oi! What are you doing with my girl ya cunt!
They turned to see an angry Dick approaching them, he was fuming.
Katherine: Dick, it's not what it-
He grabbed Katherine and pulled her to his side while he faced Dario.
Dick: Stay away from girl, Russian scum.
Dario: If she's your girl why treat her like garbage all the way, she's not your toy man.
Dick: I do whatever the hell I want with her.
Dario: She is not your property you selfish piece of shit.
Dick: Selfish? Says the commie over here, go back to Siberia you mongolian.
Dario: That shows how much of a dumbass you are. What I'm trying to say is show a bit of respect to-
Dick: I don't need your opinions Russian boy, I run the pants in this relationship.
Dario: And I'm about to run my gun through your ass if you call me Russian one more time!
The two glared each other with resentment, Katherine stepped in.
Katherine: Cut it out! You see this is why I hate being like this with you Dick! You're so controlling!
Dick: Yeah and?
Katherine: I'm tired of you bossing me around and telling me what to do, I deserve some rights too!
Dick: Not when I'm breathing bitch.
Then from the tents, came out Luke, Night Howler, Basher and other dingo members came out to view the argument.
Night Howler: What's going on?
Dick: This dickhead here is trying to steal my girl!
Dario: No! It's false everybody!
Night Howler: I'm with him, he's not that type of guy!
Dick: Wha-Oh you're a cunt as well.
Luke: Dude shut the fuck up, you literally got scared by an echidna twice!
Dick: Why you-
Katherine: Stop playing the victim and man up!
Dick out of pettiness he slapped Katherine across the face, knocking her down the ground.
Katherine: Oww...*starts forming tears*
Dick: Want another one ya-
He was grabbed by Dario on the shirt collar and dragged to the other side before being tossed to the ground, the hunter got ontop of him and starts to punch him repeatedly in the face.
Luke: Woah! Teach!
Night Howler: Dario!
Dario didn't listen to the calls as he kept punching Dick in the face with stiff and hard blows. Each blow he grit his teeth more as he was seeing red.
Luke was about to step in but Basher stopped him.
Basher: No, Richard needs to learn hard lesson...There's always a bigger fish...
Katherine got up to see her boyfriend getting handled, she was surprised of being defended this quickly. She smiled at it.
The dingos tried to help out their pack leader, but Dario turned around and flashed them a death glare and growled at them, which froze all of them in sight.
The hunter then turned around to face Dick who now had a bloody nose, a bruised eye and his mouth was covered in blood, but the dingo still breathed and coughed.
Dario: A little lesson from me to you, dickhead. You don't touch a girl. If you lay a hand on her again, I'll kill you Dick. I'll kill you!
He threw another stiff punch to Dick, breaking the dingo's nose.
Dario: You may be the leader of this pack, but I'm a hunter and you're just blood prey to me, and I have the balls to put lead in that skull of yours and hang you on my wall if you do another stunt like this. I remained calm but you made me raise a hand, filthy mutt.
He grabbed Dick by the throat and pulled him close to his face with an angry glare, the arm hair rising up due to his flow of emotions.
Dario: Throw a fist at her again...AND I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD UP!! GOT IT!? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME YOU SON OF A BITCH?!
He shook the dingo with force and aggression. He then got up and kicked the dingo in the side before walking away. Holding his arms, composing himself.
The other dingos went to check up on Dick.
Dario: I'm going to sleep, leave me be....
He walked passed Luke, Night Howler and Basher.
Luke: I've never seen this side of him before....
Night Howler: Never piss off Dario.
Basher: I applaud the human, I would've done the same and put Richard in his place.
Katherine approached them.
Basher: Katherine, are you ok?
Katherine: Yeah...after seeing what happened I feel satisfied...*smirked before changing to worried* Is Dario ok?
Luke: He said he's going to sleep and doesn't wanna be disturbed.
Basher: I think it's best for the human to be left alone, I noticed him going primal for a moment.
Luke: Huh?
Basher: Child, do you not know of the Darwin theory? Humans may have evolved, but instincts are still in tact with them, it's the tradition and in DNA of all big primates. When backed into a corner, humans resort to primal instincts to solve their problems.
Night Howler looked at the direction Dario went to with a worried look but sighed.
Night Howler: Look, let's not disturb the man, let's all rest up for tomorrow ok?
Luke: Sure, we gotta find the emus anyways.
They all left to go to sleep, except for Katherine. She went to the direction Dario went.
She found Dario on a nearby tree trunk, resting.
Katherine: Hey, Dario!
The Americo-Macedonian turned to face the dingo as he was still trying to calm down.
Katherine: Look I know you're mad and all, but I just wanted to say...Thank you, for sticking up for me. I won't disturb you no more, just rest up ok? Night!
She turned around and left. Dario stared at her leaving, he couldn't help but smile before lying back and going to sleep all alone.
Dario: I won't let him hurt you....
To be continued...
OK guys, this was chapter 121.
Peace out!
