Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Mak Bolt 9: Second Rescue

*Pirate Burner (Bolt Shell)*

 

Two years ago, when Alma Fatara with Magar Kepang, Debur Angkara, Garam Sakti, and Ayu Speara escorted the Queen of Colour Mekararum to go for treatment, they arrived at the Kademangan Dulangwesi.

In the middle of Kademangan road, they were blocked by a fight of two parties that they did not know.

Twenty men in brown uniforms and in brown masks ambushed an open horse carriage escorted by two horsemen. The one who sat in the horse carriage was the ruler of Kademangan Dulangwesi, Demang Baremowo. The two warriors who escorted him were known as the Two Loyal Goloks.

While the sword group was led by a magic swordsman named Sky Trail, armed with a large, long, and heavy sword. The Sky Trail had long hair and covered its lower face with a brown cloth.

Long story short, in the braking, the swordsmen of Two Golok Setia who each armed with a blue heirloom machete, must be killed. Remaining Demang Baremowo who dredged all out.

“Yaaah, cucur again!” said Ayu Speak from the back of her horse. He was disappointed when he saw the second swordsman of the Two Strayed Dead.

“Gugur, not cucur cake, Ayu! Hahaha!” ralat Alma Fatara, then laughed with his colleagues who became loyal audience.

Their laughter clearly came to the attention of the masked men who had already killed the Two Loyal Goloks. The attention of the Sky Trail was directed to the riding troupe, especially to Alma Fatara whose laughter was the most distinctive color.

Alma Fatara and her colleagues were just watching. They do not want to interfere in the affairs of two parties that they do not know anyone, especially they do not know who is good and who is evil, and what is the case. If anyone dies, it's none of their business. Alma and the others just wanted to pass.

There is only Demang Baremowo who still survives, and it seems like it won't be long. Because, Demang was hit by two swords.

The set! The set!

“Akk!” the screams restrained Demang Baremowo as two swords slashed his calves and back.

Blaam!

Before there were more attacks lodged in his body, Demang Baremowo stomped both of his arms, creating a burst of his magic power. A powerful surge of energy shot out in all directions, swaying a number of masked men.

Five other masked men who were not hit by the waves, immediately jumped forward and stopped in a line. The five empty-handed faced Demang Baremowo who was already bleeding. The five of them did a deep hand-powered movement.

Demang was prepared to face all the attacks. With a grimacing face, he also performed a deep powered hand movement.

“Wah, want some science!” pekik Ayu Speak tense.

“Hahahak!” the laughter of Alma and his three male colleagues heard the words of Ayu Speak.

While Ayu Speak only looked in wonder to his comrades who were laughing. He said he spoke right, not wrong. Why are his colleagues laughing? While the Queen of Colour Mekararum who was lying in the bath was silent to hear the madness of the young people.

The laughter of Alma and friends really disturbed the tense atmosphere.

“Hei! Stop laughing!” hardik a masked man while showing his sword towards Alma's entourage.

It turned out that it worked to stop the laughter of Alma, Magar Kepang, Debur Angkara, and Garam Sakti. Alma completely stopped laughing, but the sudden silence became funny to her. His captive laughter turned into giggles like the laughter of the Sweet Anton Bridge.

“Hihihik!”

“If you still laugh, ...”

Blouse!

The masked man's threatening words were interrupted by the sound of a burst of magic power that occurred between Demang Baremowo and his five opponents. Demang Baremowo's magic power was indeed higher than those braggars. But the problem is, Demang's magic must collide with the science of the pengeroyoknya united.

The previous second, the five masked men simultaneously stomped the right hand, each hand shooting a green ray as big as a fruit of a longan to Demang Baremowo. On the contrary, Demang himself flashed a beam of glowing red light as big as a cat's head.

The meeting of the six rays was what made the five masked men strangled hard and immediately vomited blood behind the mask cloth.

And so did Demang. He was thrown violently against the back of the man who was threatening Alma. As a result, the masked man fell to the ground.

“Hahahak ..!”

The laughter of Alma and his comrades actually exploded seeing the incident. They laughed out loud, completely unafraid of being a target for killing, including not having the slightest empathy for the suffering that befell Demang Baremowo.

Meanwhile, Demang Baremowo's condition was getting worse. Besides having suffered four sword wounds, now he has vomited blood due to the one-to-five battle.

Unconcerned about the noise in Alma's stronghold, a number of masked men quickly attacked Demang with swords. Demang, who had been seriously injured, chose to jump like a cat and then rolled on the ground near the position of Alma's entourage.

“Hei! Don't come near us, Orang Utan!” exclaim Ayu Speak quickly while pointing at Demang Baremowo.

“Hahaha!” This time the only one who laughed was Alma, because Magar Kepang, Ayu Speakara and Debur Angkara were impressed to panic by approaching Demang Baremowo to them. The three immediately turned their horses over and walked to the back of the pedati. They did not want the brown-clad troops to attack them.

Watching the fight earlier made Alma and his comrades able to gauge, whether they could survive or not, if the sword-wielding people attacked them. Debur Angkara and Ayu Speakara knew that their knowledge was still not that level, so they immediately retreated backwards when Demang Baremowo approached them in a condition of severe injury. Moreover, Magar Kepang, he only capitalized power and property. As for the fight, he was not a good choice at all.

“Kisaak, Nisanak! Help me!” demang Baremowo said as he staggered towards the Garam Sakti in the place of the sais pedati.

“Eh, stay away! We don't want to interfere in your affairs, Nisanak!” hardik Garam Sakti's. He also did not want to be ganged up by those masked people.

“Baremowo Lights! Don't expect you'll survive. They were all also afraid of death!” the Sky Trail.

“Eh, Demang Baremowo? Demang who ordered to kill Gibas Madar and the Black Finger College guy?” alma asked Demang Baremowo, referring to a young man he had previously saved elsewhere.

Alma was quite surprised to learn that the person dressed in black was the one they had heard his name from.

“Please. I'll pay you anything if you can save me, Nisanak!” said Demang Baremowo who was no longer able to fight further, he was weak and badly injured. His mouth was full of blood and his body was already bleeding a lot.

“But you're a bad guy!” tukas Garam Sakti's.

“I am not a bad person, I am an official of Singayam Kingdom,” Demang Baremowo said trying to convince Alma.

“If you guys interfere, we are not responsible for your safety!” the word Sky Trail was flat, but pitched threatening to Alma.

“Shortly, briefly. I want to ask my grandmother first,” said Alma casually, he does not care about the threat of Sky Trail. Alma then looked at Colour Mekararum. “What do you think, Grandma?”

“If anyone really asks you for help, then please. However, you must know first the story of the problem, do not be mistaken to help,” said Colour Mekararum.

“Good, Nek,” said Alma obediently.

With the approval of the Queen of Colours Mekararum, Alma finally intervened to help and save Demang Baremowo.

That was the beginning of the meeting of Alma and Demang Baremowo which then continued with the rescue of the life of the demang.

Two years later, they meet again in a different situation, which is involved with a group of Stone Crab Pirates led by Cucum Mili or Queen Crab.

Demang Baremowo and his young wife, Nyi Bungkir, went to meet Alma Fatara after they were released from pirate captivity.

“Alma!” call Nyi Bungkir while smiling broadly at Alma who stood not far from the big black snake.

“Auntie Wrapped!” call Alma Fatara while advancing and embracing the extremely beautiful Nyi Bungkir.

“Unexpectedly, you showed up when we came back in need of help,” Demang Baremowo said.

“Hahaha!” Alma Fatara just laughed.

“Two years passed, you're getting prettier, Alma,” complimented Nyi Bungkir.

“And I'm also getting stronger. Hahaha!” alma said praising herself and then laughing again.

“Free Shrimp Coral, Alma!” exclaiming the Black Sea Pearl interrupted the kangen's conversation.

“Mbah Black, release him!” alma's orders to a stealth serpent named Black Mbah.

Blug up!

Black Mbah also released the twists of his body on the body of the Coral Shrimp. The burly man just fell to the ground in a limp and fainted.

“Bring Vice Chairman into!” the Order of the Black Sea Pearl.

However, not a single pirate member advanced to retrieve the body of the Coral Shrimp. They were afraid because there was still a black snake. If the black snake is tiny it probably won't be a problem.

“Mbah Black, thank you for your help. There comes a time when you can eat humans!” alma Fatara said to Mbah Hitam.

“Hamba withdraw, Gusti Ratu!” mbah Hitam said suddenly with the voice of grandparents.

“Hah!” pekik surprised all the pirate members.

“The solution can talk!”

“Sound switch!”

“Strong switch!”

“Sstealth switch!”

Call a number of pirate members surprised.

Black Mbah then crept away leaving the crowd. As he passed by, the pirates hurried away, as if afraid of being nudged.

Only then did some pirate members move to carry the bodies of the Coral Shrimp. (BH)
