The Masked Hero (Beta story/ Director's Cut)

Chapter 9: Cavemen

    Trey and Kuro continue to make their way down the winding road of the forest, now reduced to only one path. Eventually, they start to see less and less trees, until they c om to a clearing, and eventually, to a the mouth of a deep, dark cave, the Cave of Secrets.

Trey: Well, we made it! Ready to go in?

Kuro: Ready as I'll ever be.

    Before they even take five steps towards the inside of the cave, two men jump out at them from a few plants to the side of the cave. They don't jump on top of them, but rather in front of them, blocking their path. They were small, yet bulky, hairy men. They had matted hair, reeked of unwashed clothes, which were nothing but animal print loin cloths, and wielded clubs and spears. Though not in plain view,many others, both of men and women, stood in the shadows, watching them, eyes locked directly towards Trey and Kuro, as if they were of another world.

Trey: Hey, what's the big idea? Why'd you block our path?

    The two men grunted in confusion, as if they had absolutely no idea what he just said. One even tried to speak it back to himself, but was even further confused.

Trey: What's going on here?

Kuro: I don't think they're from a similar society as you. I've heard of many people that have been living in this forest that haven't been in contact with todays' world in thousands of years.

Trey: So..... they're like cavemen?

Kuro: One can pretty much assume that from their stone-age actions and technology.

    The man to the left walked up towards Trey and tried to communicate to him.

Caveman1: Gunham achacka toba?

Trey: What?

Kuro: I have no idea.

Caveman1: Gunham, gunham fotyer tosho!

Trey: Uhm...... was that a compliment?

Caveman1: Huh?! Geekoba? He points his spear towards Trey Donogo ropah!Cheekonam botomo!

    Suddenly, both cavemen charge at Trey. Unsure of what to do, Trey forms his sword, and stands tight, facing the cavemen. The one with the spear charges directly at Trey, the spear directed at his chest. With a simple move, Trey blocks the attack. He then moves the sword around the spear, and with an upward motion, cuts the spear in half. Dropping his arm, he kicks the caveman in the stomach, sending him flying onto his back.

    The other one, wielding his club, jumps at Trey. Seeing his move, he jumps at the caveman, and grabs his club. He then jumps off him, and lobs the club back at the caveman, making him hit the ground with a painful sounding slam just before he himself landed.

    Then, to Treys' surprise, the first one jumps on top of him, tripping him, and making him fall backwards. His sword drops out of and away from his hand, and with the cavemans' weight pressing down on his body, he could do nothing but struggle.

     But suddenly, a bright bolt of electricity was fired at the caveman, sending him flying off Trey, and landing near the other. Getting up, Trey noticed it was Kuro who fired that bolt.

Caveman1: Chereeo nomaba electricy!

Caveman2: Somab foraba choko!

     Suddenly, all of the cave people started to run away from them both, shouting random, unintelligible gibberish in a scared matter. Once the area had gone silent again, Trey got up and grabbed his sword, only to deform it, it breaking into crystal shards of light.

Trey: What was that all about?

Kuro: Your guess is as good as mine, but I guess my electricity scared them off.

Trey: Well, at least we can enter the cave now. You ready?

Kuro: As long as their are no more weird cave-people, I'll go in.

    And go in, they did, caveman free.
