Baaba: Chapter 13

by safohen
Two figures walked in silence towards the town park. The night guard shuffled wearily to his feet, recognised the Supi and without a word, let her and Baaba in. 'We'll be here till 6:00pm Kuukua said softly. 'See to it that we're not disturbed'.

'The park guides are part of the second wall of defense out of 10 to protect the town from the kakai.' Vuvor explained. ' The asafo based in the village are the first'.

'Baaba, I brought you here because this is where the elders and the chief decided to set up and train a branch of the asafo for the sole purpose of banishing kakai'. 'The training field at the asafo village is based on this field. The village should be a bit crowded now so this will be an ideal spot to train.'

Baaba swung her akofena at Kuukua several times only for to dodge each swing. Kuukua suddenly flung her akofena at Baaba forcing her to sink to her left knee, raise her weapon and smack the projectile back into Kuukua's hands. Kuukua let off three darts and Baaba wildly deflected the darts away with a spin of her spear. With a burst of speed, Kuukua advanced towards the girl. Baaba swung her machetes left and right to counter the flurry of blows that the Supi was raining down on her.

Noticing a pattern, she swung her akofena to lightly tap Kuukua's neck, a move which would end the session. Kuukua swung her akofena to block it and struck it once, nearly making Baaba lose her grip on it. Vuvor's akofena swung in an arc from Baaba's left so using the spear as a pivot, she swung herself underneath the blow, her right hand grasping it and her left wielding an akofena that swept towards the Supi.

Baaba blocked the blow with her afowatsen (tri-bladed akfena). With the akofena's blade locked in between two of the afowatsen's blades, Kuukua twisted her weapon to break the blade. Baaba drew out her akofena as soon as she felt the turn of the afowatsen and swung at her shoulder the instant that Kuukua swung at hers, causing the two blades to clash.
