Long Neck

Chapter 6: Fall

Chapter 6: Fall

Jan 15, 2021

It was a great night. Some people were dancing, some were singing, some where eating and some were sleeping, the sky was slowly getting brighter, it was around 4 AM. Finally, after many years, there was hope that someone could defeat Lord Dion and bring peace to the long neck people. The saviour wielding Tamarana on their neck. 

Carlos tried not to drink a lot, alcohol had a bad influence on him, instead he was trying to flirt with the ladies. Mohio was telling his incredible life stories to little children, Mono was drinking just a little bit on his balcony, for some reason he couldn't relax. He felt like something bad was coming. Hamo was surrounded by people asking him about what has he seen in Tamarana's cave. He tried to get away from the crowd and have fun with Carlos and Mana, listen to Mohio's stories and talk with Mono about his quest, he didn't even know what he was looking for. At some point, Mono disappeared from the balcony.

-Do you want to see something?- Hamo heard a familiar voice. It was Mana.
-Uh, yeah sure.-Hamo answered and got away from the people.

-So what do you want to show me?-Hamo asked after a while of walking through the woods.
-Your father is seeking 2 artifacts. If he gets both, we'll be doomed. 
-Do you know where they are?
-I know where one of them is. On your neck. It ain't just some fancy piece of metal. Not only it's a powerful weapon at your command, but it contains a ghost of both Lawa and Ui Brown, these spirits can make you powerful, but only when combined with Golden Neckus, another artifact, haunted by evil spirits. I don't know much about it, though. Ask my brother, he probably knows more about it than I do.
-How do you know all of this? 
-I live with my brother, when he's out I look in his documents and in his library. Plus, I'm supposed to protect you, and you should know that you and Tamarana are no longer seperate beings, to get Tamarana, Dion will have to kill you.

As Mana said that, they heard a loud sound... then another one... the noises could be heard every second, progressivly getting louder and louder. Mana quickly pushed Hamo into a bush, when they saw a big sphere-shaped object with 5 giant, iron legs walking slowly towards Neckhome 2.

-Oh no, these are Dion's "ball tanks", we have to warn the others!
-What? They found us?
-They must have had a spy! Quick!

Mana and Hamo started running as fast as they could through the forest, they started seeing campires and yurts, they finally arrived. When Mono saw them, he quickly ran to hug Mana.
-Where were you? I was worried!
-Prepare the evacuation, Dion found us.
-I knew something bad was coming.
Mono ran to the pedestrial that was situated right where the people were dancing.

-Citizens of Neckhome 2!-He said.-After many years of safety, we are yet again, dangared by the army of Lord Dion. We have to leave this place and build another one. Our enemy is closer every second, our only chance to survive is to leave with our emergency buggies. Follow me, and in case I get injuried, listen to my sister's orders.

As he said that, he opened a secret garage located in the fortress. Everyone quickly got into the vehicles right when the first ball tank got inside the village and started shooting down the yurts and deploying soliders in black balaclavas, and among them, three figures wearing grey. Around 20 buggies with car trailers with people packed in them were escaping through the forest. Most of the tanks were following them, but some of them stayed with the troopers, making sure no one that left the party and went to their yurts is alive. In one of the buggies was Hamo, Carlos and some other guy, Mono, Mana and Mohio were in a diffrent buggy, but they were cleary vissible from their perspective. The tanks were shooting at escaping long necks, quickly, the amount of escaping buggies changed from 20 to 5, then 5 to 2. Mono was furious, he found every single citizen and brought them here himself, he knew every single one of them by name, and now he had to see them perish. He looked at Mana, then at Mohio, then at Hamo and Carlos. "Take care of her" Mono said before he jumped off the buggy. "No!" Mana shouted, but she couldn't do anything, her brother was meters away already. 

He was very fast and agile, he was dodging every bullet, deflecting some of them with his neck armour back at the attackers. He jumped on one of the ball tanks and found his way inside. The tank stopped moving, the cockpit window was frozen. It turned back at the other tanks and started shooting at them, destroying one by one, switching between many types of ammo, rockets and bullets, bombs and lasers. The tanks stoppped chasing the Neckhome 2 imigrants that were quickly moving further and further from them and started shooting at the tank itself. Mono was learning how to use a ball tank in his free time, when he found a blueprint in the lake. There were too many, even for him, but even when his tank lost one leg being completly immobilized, he never stopped shooting at the other tanks. Then, one of the tanks shoot directly into the cockpit, blasting it in flames. "NOOO!" shouted once again as the blasted tank fell down.

-Follow me, kids!-Mohio, that was the driver of one of the buggies.

Mohio knew a place where they could hide, Mono's private bunker, a place that no spy would ever find. "Hold on tight!" Mohio exclaimed and they drove through a fake stone wall, where the bunker was located. The tanks lost track of them.
