On the kingdom wall which is usually manned by pairs of two sentries a kilometer apart. Jacket, trousers, and boots all leather, and a sword on his back, that's Tumo one of the sentries, he arrives for his shift and finds his partner Buko who is also dressed in the customary sentry attire. The two young men in their early twenties, are two of the newly appointed sentries in the kingdom. It is their incredible battle abilities that have earned them a place in the kingdom's military defense team. 

"How is the cloud-watching buddy?" jokingly says Tumo to his fellow sentry who is vigilantly looking over the vast field outside the kingdom. 

Buko feigns anger and says "You are late." 

With a smile, Tumo says "Relax man. It's not like we are doing anything here, and besides I saw you were sleeping."

Buko sheepishly admits "You saw that. I just don't understand why they don't give this sentry position to some of the weaker warriors."

"That's why I always take my time getting here. You can't put an excellent warrior like me on sentry duty." says Tumo.

Buko reluctantly says "Maybe I should join you."

"You should know the higher-ups still believe that someone 

would dare, try to infiltrate our kingdom." says Tumo.

"See what I hate about getting old, paranoiah befriends you." adds Buko. 

Tumo smiles and shakes his head, "You can't be heard saying that."

Buko passionately says "You know what, today is my last day being a sentinel, after this shift I'm going straight to the captain and ask for another position."

"Wait man... what happened to joining me in coming late? By the way How you suppose you going do that? especially after what happened last time." asks Tumo. 

Wonder writing on his face Buko asks, "What last time?"

Tumo replies "The time you told him your mother is sick, and needs taking caring of, so you can't come for your shift, and he found out that; what you really wanted was time off to go drinking at Sefume's." 

The sentries' conversation is disrupted by the two intruders they see trying to scale the kingdom's wall. Tumo hastily approaches them, with a fierce look covering his face, and says "Who are you?...what do you think you're doing?"

The two intruders jump back to the ground outside the wall without saying a word. Both Tumo and Buko join them on the ground.

"You have just made a mistake. Now you are going to regret it. Clearly you were not informed. You are about to find out what Mal kingdom's warriors are made of." says Tumo as he pulls out his sword.

One of the intruders; Senye, looks at the two sentries with murderous intent. 

"Do you think that matters to us?" and pulls out his sword, and swings at Tumo who ducks, with quick succession kicks Buko who slams into the wall. 

Tumo calls out, "Buko are you alright?"

Buko gets back on his feet, Holding his chest and coughing blood, not enough to be overly worried though. "I'm okay," he says. 

The two sentry now realize that these intruders are formidable warriors their toughest test yet, one they are probably not ready for.

Tumo not knowing what to say, "Are you sure man? I mean you are bleeding." he says.

Buko draws his sword and takes up a fighting stance. "I said I'm fine." now fuming "Let's kill these guys," he says.

"Calm down man, we are sentries. Our priority is capture." says Tumo.

One of the intruders Razu unfazed and visibly comfortable around violence, laughs "You think you can capture us? How amusing." and says to Senye "Let me finish them off."

But Senye puts his hand in front of Razu who is advancing towards Buko and Tumo and stops him. "No, you stay out of this." sarcastically adds "These guys are about to capture me."

Razu reluctantly takes a seat on a rock. "just be quick about it". he says.

Both Buko and Tumo attack Senye simultaneously with their swords drawn. Buko swings a sword aiming at Senye's feet. Senye jumps and twists his body horizontally into the air to avoid a sword swung by Tumo aimed at his head and lands on his feet. 

Greatly shocked Tumo involuntary exclaims "what??!!"

"We should've gotten him with that move," says Buko.

Tumo adjusts his form and says to Buko "Let's get him." Razu stands from where he was sitting "You want some help my friend?" 

"I told you to stay out of this," says Senye.

"What are you doing wasting time?" asks Razu

"Okay okay, I'm finishing them now," says Senye.

"Don't underestimate us," says Buko.

"Buko let's show him our full power," says Tumo.

Buko and Tumo charge at Senye, Senye blocks Buko's 

slash attempt and strikes a fatal blow by thrusting his sword 

into his stomach, pulling back his sword fast enough to evade Tumo's slash attempt. Buko falls to the ground, holding his 

bleeding stomach. With great difficulty he gathers enough energy to say "Tu...mo... it's... up to you."

Tumo gives a loud cry and tries to channel his anger towards demolishing his opponents. With burning anger he points a sword at Senye. "you have done it now, I'm going to kill you," shouts Buko.

A huge smile draws on Razu's face "I think you have made him mad by killing his friend."

Tumo comes charging at Senye, who moves too fast for him and thrusts his sword into Tumo's chest and pulls it out so fast that seems it never pierced Tumo's chest. But the gape on Tumo's face and then the blood oozing from his chest are evidence enough. 

Tumo slowly falls to the ground "I can't believe this...we were defeated by just one guy. The other one did not even need to move a muscle."

Buko who is now slowly losing consciousness, "This shouldn't be possible we are the size as him, how is it that he is faster and stronger than we are?... Sorry, my king, we've let this kingdom down, what a waste... All this time complaining about my duties... I should have spent it training, well I guess is too late now."

Tsai arrives. Buko who is now barely conscious, "Reinforcements?... no... this guy is not from here, what's going on?"

Tsai approaches Senye "That's enough." he says.

Senye flips his sword and smiles "Reinforcements?" and waves Tsai on with the sword, "Come and get it."

With blinding speed, Tsai plunges his sword into Senye's heart. 

In utter disbelief Senye "Wha..." that's all he can manage to say because killing is something Tsai has become a master at, an assassin if you will. Senye hits the ground but not before he takes his last breath. Razu furiously stands up from the rock. Uncontrollable shaking with anger "Wha...what did you do? Was this your..." Tsai swiftly silences Razu by piercing his heart. 

Buko who is still barely conscious on the ground "What?... he defeated them both like they were nothing, how strong is he?"

Tsai approaches Buko who is still on the ground. With Almost a whisper asks Tsai "Who are you?" Tsai doesn't respond but points to Tumo who is also still on the ground barely clinging to life. "Son, carry the other one, and let's get them some help." 

Tsai and Lefa speedily carry the injured sentries into the kingdom where they are met by the citizens who are frightened by what they see. 

"Help these men." Shouts Tsai as they lay down the injured sentries.

The citizens crowd around Buko and Tumo. "What happened?" asks the citizens. 

When they turn to obtain an answer they realize that both Tsai and Lefa have disappeared
