[The Host]

Chapter Two: Sand Storm
Part One: Koracha's Defence

General Seed J stared at the walls of Roxtus. Made completely of iron, the new walls set up by the intruders blocked all view of the inner city. Seed J scowled. This would make his mission just a bit harder.

"Go around the city and look for anything we can use as a way in. Meet me on the eastern side of the city in the small valley."

The Seed immediately dissapeared as Seed J walked away. He began planning his way in.


Koracha mounted his steed and pulled away from the Bone Hunters, as they called themselves, and headed for the city walls. Since taking over Roxtus, Sahmad and his followers had purged the city of anything Glatorian like and replaced it instead with Bone Hunter Blades and treasures from their previous raids. All of the Vorox who had inhabitted Roxtus before the seige had been placed in cages, except for those who had fights planned. They were left to escape so that Roxtus would seem normal.

"Sir. I've sensed the arrival of outsiders. They're Seeds."

Sahmad looked up at Koracha. Nodding, he spoke softly, with an evil tone in his voice. "Get the Spikits ready, and get all of our steeds mounted. Today you shall walk into battle with the great Sahmad. Today the Seeds will see the beginning of their downfall!"

Koracha and his steed headed back to the center of Roxtus, and he began to call out orders. Most of the Bone Hunters listened at once. A few, however, needed Koracha to add that Sahmad had ordered it so. Once the warriors were listening to him, Koracha explained the plain and steared his steed towards the Roxtus Gates.

"Line up, and kill all in sight. Seeds must be killed or captured!" Shouted Koracha. Sahmad appeared by his side and barked out orders. Spikits and Rock Steeds pawed the ground and growled, awaiting to be released to attack. Koracha spotted a group of Seeds and immediately called for the Bone Hunters' attention.

"Don't attack them. They know we're here. They're organizing for a mounted attack. Stand your ground and we'll win." Most of the Bone Hunters disagreed with Koracha's instructions, but with Sahmad's approval, Koracha was now their combat leader, and they listened. One Seed attacked with lightning speed, but with the hunter's ready, the Seed was easy prey. Koracha's plan was working so far.


Seed J growled with hatred. He had lost one Seed out of carelessness. The hunter's were ready, and the Seeds were far outnumbered. "Retreat to the southern valley and then head north as fast as possible. We'll enter Roxtus by tunneling if we're forced to. Once we're inside the hunters lose. All of their mounts are likely in use already, and if we can release the Vorox then we'll outnumber them. Just follow me and the hunters can't win!"
