Dragnet part five
The Chicony was maniacally smiling at them. Gilgal and Cascon stopped dead in their tracks and fell silent.
“He-he-he-he-he-he-he!” screamed the Chicony madly.
“Run now while we still have the chance,” commanded Cascon.
“I’d like to see just how tough this Chicony is,” replied Gilgal.
“You’ve never had to face one of these things; I have. Trust me; you don’t want to fight it,” pleaded Cascon, but Gilgal would just not consent.
“Fine, then I’ll just face it with you,” said Cascon.
Gilgal said, “All right.”
The Chicony had just stopped screaming, and it had started staring at them again. There was no movement in the room for a long time. The Chicony stared at Cascon and Gilgal, and they stared back – no one moving a muscle.
Suddenly, the Chicony ran very quickly at them. This was amazing speed for something of its size. I tried to hit them with its sharp halberd, but Cascon and Gilgal dodged the attack.
“Whoa! That thing’s fast,” exclaimed Gilgal.
Before Cascon could reply, the Chicony ran at them again, but this time it jumped over them and came back from behind. They were caught off-guard and were sent flying through the air. The Chicony began sucking the energy out of Cascon. When Gilgal came back to his senses, he punched the Chicony right in the gut. It flew into the air to get away and recover. In the meantime, Cascon too came to his senses.
“I’d like to see just how tough this Chicony is,” said Cascon in a mocking manner. “Just how tough indeed!”
“Fine, I’m sorry, but can we just get this over with now that it’s already begun?” asked Gilgal.
The Chicony came down and began screaming again. This time the two men attacked, but the Chicony was too smart to fall for it. It dodged their blows and countered with its own. It now charged at them with its halberd. Cascon drew his sword while Gilgal took out his nunchucks.
“Let’s end this now!” screamed Cascon. He was filled with such anger, as Gilgal had never seen in him before. He went on a mad rampage attacking the Chicony while Gilgal stared amazed. “NOT THIS TIME!” shouted Cascon filled with hatred. “DIE!” He charged at it with full force, but because he was not using his head, he was over powered after he had done some considerable damage. The Chicony knocked him aside and came after Gilgal.
“Looks like it’s my turn now,” mumbled Gilgal a little afraid. “But I won’t lose because this one’s for you Cascon,” thought Gilgal inspired by Cascon’s fierce battling.
Gilgal tactfully attacked the Chicony without sustaining much damage himself. Eventually, he defeated the Chicony.
Gilgal thought, “Thank God Cascon weakened it for me.”
Gilgal rushed to Cascon to see if he was fine, but Cascon had been badly injured.
“You went crazy there. What happened?” Gilgal asked Cascon referring to the intense battle.
“I’d rather not talk about it, but why were you so bloody when I found you?” asked Cascon.
“Oh yeah, I almost forgot–” began Gilgal.
“Almost forgot?” interrupted Cascon.
“Okay so I forgot. Anyways, Pulchra and me were attacked by a Jagpith.” Stated Gilgal.
“What’s a Jagpith?” asked Cascon.
“It’s a mean lookin’ thing. It looks sort of like a jaguar with the head of a cobra, except it stand on two feet and has falcon-like claws on them and the hands are like human hands,” replied Gilgal.
“Well that was informative,” said Cascon jokingly.
