KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)
ARC 1: Cloudy in the Sky of the Lamatang Attack
Great Golden Island, one among the large islands separated from the Central Mainland Continent. The island is fertile and rich in natural resources. The island became the territory for three major kingdoms, namely Muaro Lamahtang on the south side, Barapi Valley on the west, and Baharus on the North side.
In each kingdom, stood various schools of diverse martial arts. Some colleges even have equal power even beyond the power of these kingdoms.
Gold Sun College is one of the middle class white school that inhabits a large golden island, precisely located in the territory of the kingdom of Muaro Lamahtang.
The college is quite influential because its existence effectively fortifies the southern region of the Big Gold island from various security threats from robbers, pirates and black-flow groups that usually make trouble.
However, that afternoon the condition of the Golden Sun college looked very chaotic and tacky due to the raid from a group that is not yet known who and what the motivation of the attack. Hundreds of bodies were seen scattered with blood or lost body parts that sometimes look charred. Most of the number of bodies is dominated by residents of Padepokan. The smell of blood-soaked fishy smell filled the air that afternoon.
“Protect perguruaaaaan....! Don't let them in!”
There were shouts from seniors and college elders encouraging and directing the members of the college to survive among the clashing of weapons.
Meanwhile, the attackers looked increasingly violent. Their cries provoked no less loud opponents sounded.
“Hayo! Annihilate it! Earth scorched this place!”
Others exclaim : “in there, surely many beautiful women that we can enjoy....! Hahahahaha..!”.
But the most audible is still the cries of death in every corner. A very heartbreaking atmosphere in a usually quiet and peaceful place...
The police did not appear ready for the attack.
The fight had lasted more than two hours. The group of attackers stormed from three directions.
The West Side of the college has been crippled by the first wave of attacks consisting of about 400 black-flow warriors. Having the college attacked, the warriors living in the padepokan immediately welcomed the attack and tried to hold back in full force so that the attackers did not squeeze further into the paddle. A great battle broke out on the west side of the college between the entire force of the Golden Sun against the invading group.
Beyond the expectations of the Gold Sun College warriors, it turns out that the attack on the west side is only the beginning and the lure, only, because then from the side of the east that hilly actually appeared the next group of attackers with greater strength. They consist of no less than 500 warriors led by 10 capable Sakti warriors. Soon, the eastern side of the padepokan easily overrun by the invaders almost without resistance because the entire force of the paddle force of about 300 people was concentrated on the western side. The attackers then hit from behind the power of the paddle who was trying to defend the west side of the first group raid.
The fight started unbalanced. The casualties on the part of the police continue to grow rapidly.
The actual situation may not be as severe as this if the condition of the Golden Sun college is prime. The problem is, three months ago their Great Teacher, Ki Brajawana the Golden Sun Swordsman was killed by the Black Centipede poison attack while attending a meeting of white warriors who turned out to be a trap. In addition, many senior warriors have not returned from the mission assigned by the late Golden Sun Swordsman.
The condition is exacerbated by the dualism of leadership in the struggle for influence between Bandu Aji the new Chairman who is the son of the late Golden Sun Swordsman, with Juwana the college martial genius. Bandu Aji, the Head of Padepokan who replaced the Golden Sun Swordsman, his martial arts was far less when compared to Juwana Kalin so that the Elders then split the authority of both. Bandu Aji as the chairman of Padepokan plays a role in managing the operations and administration of the college while Juwana Kalin whose martial skills are higher is considered as a professor.
Unexpectedly, this actually triggered a seed of division in the paddle given earlier, the position of master teacher and chairman was carried at once by the late Golden Sun Swordsman, Ki Brajawana.
Both Juwana and Bandu Aji assisted by the Elders were very overwhelmed to face the invading forces. They are desperate and threatened to perish if they cannot survive.
The attacking warriors are at least a combination of the four big groups when viewed from the game of different styles and uniforms. Unfortunately, it is not yet known who they really are.
“These forces are at least the lowest in the level of the Madya swordsman. I did not find their swordsmen who did not have power capabilities in”
said Bandu Aji to one of the college Elders who fought with him.
“I'm not sure we can safely see the difference in our strength with them” He said while still shaking his sword to the sea of enemies who like endless storming. There was always a life that was lost every time the sword was released.
“Really chairman! Our students who are at the middle level were overwhelmed and slaughtered” Elders around 40 years old justifies the statement of the chairman with a breath that is increasingly bored because he has been fighting for two hours without pause.
The condition of the two of them worsened, not much different from the rest of the remaining dozen of their colleagues who still survived. Gun cuts and punch marks have graced their bodies. But they were determined to fight to the point of the final blood, let alone see all the inhabitants of the village were no exception women and children had been mercilessly slaughtered.
“We may not survive, but at least we will die carrying as many of these attackers with us as possible...!!”.
The cry of the bandu aji was his last shout, because after that at least five blasts of heat energy landed all over his body.
Bandu Aji crashed from where he stood on the bodies in the surrounding. The sword in his hand slipped out of his grasp.
While not far away, he saw the grin of 3 people who had just attacked him. The Elders who fought with him fared even worse. He had collapsed with a sword thrust into his left chest and another swordsman from the invading side had stood stomping on his head and crushing him with a single blow containing a deep force that elicited a shock reaction on him the air around it.
“You weak chairman!” the taunts of a female swordsman among his 3 attackers. The woman's tongue licks her clenched handbooks and still emits thin smoke.
“Let me take your life.” the woman jumped and directed the ultimate blow towards the bandu aji who was still trying hard to get up.
‘whuuuuusssssssssyyhhhh DUARR!!!
The blow from the smoldering red fist of the white haired middle-aged woman hit something. His body crashed backwards not expecting anyone to block his blow.
“Less Ajar! Search dead!” the woman cussed while holding her chest tightened by the blow her inner energy turned to him. Blood dripped from the corner of his lips. In front of them stood a young man who looked not even 20 years old faced him with a keris-shaped weapon with a powerful energy beam in his hand.
“I don't think you're a black stream from the island across this whimper. Attacking a small college by exerting this much power in times when they are not ready!” The young man said loudly. Then turn to Bandu Aji. “ Brother chief, I am a wandering disciple of your father. Allow me to help..”
..before the young man had finished his sentence, the female swordsman who became his opponent had again attacked him along with his two comrades..
The fierce fight is back. The exchange of dozens of moves between the mysterious young man and his bullies was rapid. Created more severe damage around the fight due to the energy that comes from the energy in the four people. The ability of the mysterious swordsman is in fact far above the bandu aji even close to the ability of the late master teacher and his father, the Golden Sun Swordsman.
It did not take long, the three warriors who had ganged on him had been blown away with their lives leaving the body after each of them was rewarded with a huge powerful punch that destroyed their headstones.
Truly a terrifying strength for a swordsman size with an age as young as him. That is what is now in the mind of Bandu Aji whose breath is now one-on-one and increasingly weakened.
The young man immediately approached the dying bandu aji, propped up with his hands and helped him to sit down.
“thank you, swordsman, but.. uhuk...!” bandu aji said with a breath that was almost cut off. His internal injuries seem to be very severe. “but we are unlikely to win this fight.... Uhuk..uhuk...!” bandu aji coughed again spitting thick blood from his mouth and his condition weakened. “tuan swordsman, please leave. Save. treasure college.. se.ka.ligus.please... tire..... survived... hoh, hoh, hoh... He.. he is. in the hill of goa.. ba.... tu.!” bandu aji breathed his last with his hand grasping something he took from under his shirt to hand over to the swordsman who helped him.
Not long after, after taking something from the hands of Bandu Aji, the swordsman was again involved in a fierce fight.
The assailants didn't give him time to breathe. His very fast movements were almost difficult to follow by the eyes of even the warriors who ganged at him had difficulty anticipating any keris in his hands.
One, two, ten, twenty and growing number of assailants who died at the hands of this young man.
This was apparently realized by one of the powerful warriors among the attackers who had been observing. He is Ra Hanta. One of the leaders of the attackers.
A moment later, without warning a bright beam of very high speed and hot air hit the young swordsman who was being dredged.
Back the sound of the explosion of heat energy mambakana. Simultaneously, about 20 oarang pengeroyok the young man was thrown without life again because of the explosion of energy. Smoke mixed with thick dust enveloped the area of the fight.
“Mampus You.!” Ra Hanta grinned while blowing on his books that were still flushing with embers and reflecting thin smoke. He seemed unconcerned that it was precisely his subordinates who were the victims of his own attack.
As soon as the dust and smoke that enveloped the fighting arena disappeared, Ra Hanta was shocked and his smile disappeared from not finding the corpse of the young man he was attacking.
“Hah?? Where did the boy disappear to?! With Aji segoro's punch my geni it should have died roasted.!”
Ra Hanta looked unhappy and unsettled knowing the enemy he was attacking was not in place. But his anxiety did not last long because suddenly his neck had been cut by the youth's keris.
“Aaaaaaaaakh.. glok..glok... grrrrkkkkk....” the sound of screeches mixed with the spurting of blood from the neck that was cut into the keris sounded very terrible.
The mysterious young man turned out to have been behind Ra Hanta and ended the adventure of the qualified swordsman Sakti in one fell swoop.
Now, only the young man remains among the siege of the sea of enemies who continue to creep forward. He had managed to kill at least 4 attackers, but the group had about 20 more leaders who were in charge of at least 30 warriors.
The supreme leader of this group seemed to be a black-robed middle-aged man with his white hair seen floating in the air observing the course of the fight. His attention was diverted to the considerable energy emitted from the mysterious swordsman's brief fight against his men.
The man exuded an enormous power that would be impossible to deal with right now. Clearly he was no match for the strongest swordsman in this college. This was realized by the mysterious young man.
‘I have to leave this place immediately. I can't possibly face the ********* this much alone or I will die before replying to my teacher’'s death
A moment later, the young man once again went berserk and finished off the enemies nearby. The attackers shuddered in horror at the sight of staimina and the young swordsman's ability so chose to be more careful to attack.
Four other leaders of the strike group, equal in strength to Ra Hanta, came forward to rain down the mysterious young swordsman with a hot blow from a distance. Fireballs of yellowish-red and white color shot towards the mysterious youth. However, when the hot fireballs reached the position the young man was in, the young man had darted away quickly trying to escape the attack.
‘Dhuar..! Dhuars!.. Dhuars!..
again there were very loud explosions that only hit empty space. Once again the young man managed to escape and darted away. But his movement was again locked by 6 attackers who prevented him from escaping.
Brak's..! Degh's! Bug off..! THE TRANK..!!
The sound of blows and guns clashing back loudly adorned every movement of the mysterious young man.
“Aaaaaak...!!”
there was a terrible cry of death.6 people collapsed with each loss of limbs following their lives. While the young man had been very fast and impossible to catch up had escaped in the form of a ray that shot rapidly towards the hills. Leaving behind that pitch and that soon-to-be-ending fight.
The situation worsened when from the Forest side to the north, the next wave of attackers rushed in while burning and looting shortly after the young man's departure.
**************
That afternoon, on the edge of the forest one side of the mountain range lined up along a large golden island, a child was engrossed in playing with a pet tiger. Two swordsmen in Gold Sun college uniforms seemed to be escorting him. The 4-year-old child is the grandson of the chairman and professor of the Golden Sun college, while the tiger is a school-owned animal that has been domesticated and cared for since childhood by the college. The two bodyguards were the two core disciples of the Golden Sun college. They were assigned to ensure the safety and security of the great master's grandson.
Playing on the edge of the forest with the imau, once they named the tiger, was the custom of the great teacher's grandchildren. In addition to playing, the activity is in order to give the tiger a chance to hunt for food.
“Andang, looks like we should be home soon. The day has turned afternoon. Master must have been waiting for you” Kuyung the skinny swordsman around 40 years old reminded that playing time is almost over.
“Iya Danang's. Si Imau also seems to be quite full after devouring children **** forest earlier” Danu the younger sultry swordsman chimed in.
“Good uncle. Come imau, we go home.” The child understood and immediately invited his playmate to go home.
“Wait..” Suddenly I was alert and gestured to his partner and Danang to duck while placing the index finger in front of the lips with the position of the body slightly down
“I heard a suspicious voice. It looks like there is a movement of many people at high speed not far from here.”hereinafter half a whisper.
Without speaking, Danu immediately took over the imau from the little boy, held the back of his head and told him to duck. Kuyung himself without waiting directly darted up one of the tall trees around them to observe the situation.
Before long, the kuyung had slid down with a pale face.
“They're headed to padepokan. AAAAAKKHHHHH.....!!” not yet had time to finish his sentence, Kuyung collapsed with knives stuck in several parts of his body. The knives were clearly poisonous because the wounds they caused turned blue and soon decayed and continued to spread to other parts of his body.
Danu was about to approach Kuyung's body which began to die when a machete flew towards him..
‘WHUSSSS.........!! ..... TRAANK...!”
The knife was successfully repelled, but his hand did not stop because of the strong impact of his sword with the machete. The machete turned and stuck into a large tree not far from where it stood. Again, the part of the tree where the machete was planted emits a thin smoke that indicates the machete is also poisonous.
The Golden Sun college Madya level swordsman was immediately alert while turning his brain to blur because he realized one thing. Whoever the enemy is attacking them, must be numerous and very strong!
“Imau, take your master away, Fast!” Danu ordered the tiger to take the little boy, and he left the place. Seeing his partner collapse so easily, Danu felt that their lives were on the edge.
‘Gerrrrr... Ghrrrrr...” the tiger is like understanding the conditions being faced. Immediately he darted in one jump, disappearing from the place after the sword was on his back.
“HAHAHAHAHA.......! You guys, the Golden Sun People will not escape!” There was a cold laughing sound from behind the bushes not far from Danu standing up. The laughter succeeded in making the feathers goosebumps because of the killing air released by the owner of the sound.
A number of arrows shot after the run of the tiger and the child. But the arrows seemed to only hit empty space because the tiger had disappeared behind the lush forest.
Danu who was still standing on standby tightened his sword grip before the figure of two people dressed in blackish red appeared.
The dismissive grin of the two foreign warriors made him growled and feel depressed. Of course, because their level of strength was clearly unbalanced. It could be seen at a glance from the strength of the flying sword that had been deflected and made his hand not stop trembling for a moment. His hands still felt numb.
“Who Are You? And what do you mean attack us?!” Danu asked the two strangers a question. Of course he could not get an answer, as was the custom of the people from the black stream who would not care about his opponent.
“Let me take care of it, brother.” The woman who was one of the two red-clothed warriors smiled cynically at Danu and stepped forward. His right hand was raised straight up to his shoulders, while his left hand was pointing in front of his chest. Suddenly the machete that had been stuck in the tree trunk was uprooted and shot back to his right hand.
“Prepare to meet your Death!!”
The woman did not wait and immediately jumped on Danu as soon as the sword was attached to her hand. His attack was immediately met with a clashing sword. In one blow that started the fight, Danu's hand shook again.
‘Ah, apparently! Very strong this woman’ Danu grumbled in his heart to realize that he had lost far from the side of physical strength even with the woman before him. ‘At least, I wouldn't die without a fight’
