ベラミス - The Blue Snow story - her love adventure (9)

Chapter 9 More attacks

It was a special occasion. Blue Snow had her birthday.

"Strange..." Kugo thought. He never celebrated Belamis' birthday - of course - he never asked.

Toto and Mimi clapped their hands and danced around Blue Snow.

Idina hold up the cake, and Nako rubbed her head at Blue Snow's legs.

Blue Snow was touched, and she hugged Nako and Idina.

"Let's go in and have fun!" Penelie said.

The company went in, and there were a lot of food, prepared by Penelie.

"Blue Snow! Happy Birthday!" Toto yelled.

Mimi continued, "You are my sis and I love you!"

Idina jumped and hugged Blue Snow's neck, and kissed her.

Kugo watched, and joined in the party, and said, "Yes! Happy birthday!"

"You know, last year.. at the mountain.." Toto said.

Penelie interrupted, "Let's bring out Blue Snow's present!"

"Yeah!" Toto said.

Penelie took it out - it was a beautiful dress made up of colorful beads sewn on a woven cloth.

"Mother..." Blue Snow uttered.

"Try it on..." Penelie said, as she put it on Blue Snow.

"It's stunning..." Mimi said.

"Blue Snow... it's for .. for your wedding..." Penelie said gently, as she put the dress on Blue Snow, and put a beautiful necklace made of beads on Blue Snow.

"Mother..." Blue Snow was speechless.

Kugo watched, and he was stunned by the beauty of Blue Snow - or more, Belamis.

"Belamis..." Kugo thought, "...she's going to marry me?"

Blue Snow looked at Kugo, and asked, "How do I look in this ?"

"Just perfect.. just wonderful.." Kugo smiled, as he walked to Blue Snow.

"What present have you got for me ?" Blue Snow smiled.

"I don't .... but just this..." Kugo kissed Blue Snow.

The kids cheered.

Kugo hugged Blue Snow tightly. Kugo had decided, he would stay here with Belamis or Blue Snow.


For months, the raptors did not appear - it seemed that Blue Snow and Kugo killed them all or at least drove them away for good.


This day, the corns could be harvested. Blue Snow and Kugo were at the fields cutting the corns.

"They smells good!" Blue Snow picked a few and sniffed with her nose. She pricked a few of the corns and handed to Kugo.

Kugo ate them from Blue Snow's hand.

"They are sweet..." Kugo smiled.

The village enjoyed over a month's peace. The large lizards were not seen for quite a while.

"It seems that you did the job of killing those lizards.." Kugo said.

Kugo also remembered he called back Earth.

"Belamis had fever ?" Dr. Kitty said.

"Yeah...." Kugo said, "Her body reacted and pus are discharged from her wounds..."

"Pus... fever.... her body takes up more human like reactions..." Dr. Kitty said.

"I brought back some of those pus and blood of her..." Kugo put it to the sensor and sent the data back to Earth for their analysis.

"We will call you if we have something.." Dr. Joey replied.

Penelie was crushing the corns and making the flour for the dough. The kids were jumping around, whist Nako chased around the kids.

"Let me.." Kugo said, as he joined to help.

Blue Snow was lifting large baskets of corn from the fields. They had a good harvest, and Blue Snow took them to Penelie.

"Tonight we will have baked dough!" Penelie said.

Then there was a stir.

Blue Snow grabbed her sword and spear, and ran to check.

"It's the mountain apes..." Kaydo said.

There were a bunch of large apes running around, and they grabbed the crops and fruits gathered by the villagers.

Kaydo raised his arm and wanted to throw a spear.

"No!!" Blue Snow stopped Kaydo.

Kugo was curious and asked, "Why do you stop him ?"

"They are just taking fruits... I have seen them foraging up the mountains..they don't attack people... they eat fruits, roots or plant bulbs...." Blue Snow said.

"Just wave our poles and scare them..." Blue Snow said, "And make loud noises...they are shy..."

The men then started banging around. The apes were scared, and they ran away.

"It's strange.... the mountain and the woods should have enough food for them..." Blue Snow said, "..they won't need to come here..."

Blue Snow whistled, and Nako came.

"Come with me..." Blue Snow said.

Blue Snow followed the apes, and found that a troop of them gathered at the bottom of a hill.

Kugo followed.

"It's not right.... they used to live up in the mountains..."  Blue Snow said, and she noticed, a few of the adult apes were injured.

"They are driven to this spot from their habitats..." Blue Snow said, "...they are starving..." Blue Snow noticed a few were quite skinny.

Then the apes made loud noises as Blue Snow and Kugo approached.

Kugo raised his pole, but Blue Snow said, "Don't ... put down the pole... your posture makes them feel threatened..."

Blue Snow stood and looked.

"Nako, crouch down..." Blue Snow said.

Nako the cougar crouched.

Among the ape emerged one single ape. That ape was a female.

"They are a matriarch ape group... the head is a female that could bring them most food...the males stayed to protect the young..." Blue Snow said.

Then the female ape growled in a display of might and power, trying to intimidate Blue Snow and others.

Blue Snow looked and said, "She does not mean harm...like me.. she's protecting her troop..."

Blue Snow stepped forward and faced up to the large female ape.

The female ape raised its arms, and Blue Snow raised hers, and both began to wrestle.

"Stay out of this!!" Blue Snow shouted.

Eventhough the ape was much bigger, she could not overpower Blue Snow.

After a while, she retreated.

The matriarch ape could see Blue Snow was not a threat, and let out some sound. The apes relaxed, and scattered.

"We are not your enemies..." Blue Snow gently said to the large matriarch ape.

She looked at Blue Snow and nodded - this matriarch ape stood a towering 10 feet, several times large than Blue Snow.

"Show me...why you are here.." Blue Snow spoke.

The matriarch ape looked, and moved.

"Follow her..." Blue Snow said.

Kugo, Blue Snow and Nako followed the large ape up the mountain.

"There are lot of vegetations, fruits, bulbs and juicy leaves... they have abundant food here..." Blue Snow said.

They saw a horrid scene - a lot of dead male apes lying round.

The female ape let out a sad howl.

"Who did that to them ?" Kugo said.

Blue Snow looked at the wounds on the dead apes, "there are people attacking them...."

Kugo looked and found that the wounds were made by hot lazer weapons, his heart worried.

"I have to find out...." Blue Snow said, as she began looking.

"Blue Snow...these are not ordinary enemies..." Kugo added.

"I noticed...but they needed help...." Blue Snow said.

Then there was a whistle sound.

"What is happening at the village?" Blue Snow exclaimed. She and Nako ran back.

Kugo ran and shouted, "Wait!!!!"

The female apes surrounded the village, and started shouting.

The men lighted up torches and tried to scare them away...

Blue Snow leaped and stood before the apes, and wondered, "Why are they attacking us ?"

Kugo leaped and stood beside Blue Snow, and he said, "We have to guard the village!" He took a long pole and began welding at them, trying to force them away.

Blue Snow took two torches, and lighted up the ends of the pole.

"Weld it...the fire can scare them away!" Blue Snow said.

She also picked up a pole and lighted the ends with the torch.

Yet the apes were still jumping and screaming, refusing to leave.

Penelie and others stood afar, and Idina was with Toto and Mimi.

"Look... the females are in a frenzy and some are crying!!" Mimi said.

Idina looked, and said, "Babies!!!"

"What ?" Penelie said.

Blue Snow welded a long pole trying to keep the apes away, then she heard Penelie shouted, "Someone took the baby apes...!!!"

Blue Snow turned, and looked. It was her mother.

"Blue Snow...these are mother apes...their babies are taken by people...look at their eyes!" Penelie said.

Idina babbled, "Mother looking for babies...they are crying..."

Blue Snow turned and looked. Indeed all of them were female, and their sounds were desparate, sad and worried - the sound of mothers looking for their babies.

"We did not take their babies..." Blue Snow thought.

"Some people did it.... and they thought we took their babies..." Kugo said.

"How can I make them understand..." Blue Snow said.

Then the large female matriarch ape appeared, and she roared.

Blue Snow leaped and stood before the large matriach.

"Trust me! We did not take the baby apes!" Blue Snow pleaded.

The large ape hit Blue Snow and sent her knocking to a tree.

"Aarrrrrrhhh" Blue Snow groaned, but she got up and jumped to the large matriarch ape.

"No... stop!! We did not take the babies... somebody did!" Blue Snow shouted.

The large ape hit Blue Snow again, but Blue Snow did not fight back.

"Aaarrhhh..." Blue Snow was hit, and the claws of the ape left on her chest three streaks of blood.

The ape looked at Blue Snow and stopped.

"Trust me... we did not.." Blue Snow gazed into the female ape's eyes.

The large matriarch ape looked into Blue Snow's blue eyes.

She stopped, and let out a loud cry. The other apes gathered around her.

Blue Snow stood up and said, "Please trust me... we did not take your babies..."

Blue Snow grabbed her sword and spear, and ran up the mountains.

"Blue Snow!!!" Kugo shouted.

"I have to find the babies for them.... somebody take them!" Blue Snow exclaimed, as she ignored her wounds.

Nako followed Blue Snow up the mountains.

"I was right!" Blue Snow looked - there were footprints of humans at the scene where the slaughter of the male apes happened.

The place used to be the home where the troop of the apes stayed.

"Who are these people ?" Blue Snow wondered. She followed the tracks carefully.

Kugo came.

"Hush..." Blue Snow whispered.

Kugo remembered how Belamis hushed to him whilst fighting Mandarago.

"You are wounded..." Kugo said softly.

Blue Snow looked at the wounds, and she grabbed a few leaves, squeezed them, and rubbed on the wound.

"That will do..."

Nako was a quiet cat and she slowly moved forward.

"Gosh..." Kugo gasped. Before them was a large vehicle, and there were men dressed in specialized suits.

Kugo figured they were not from this planet, but and were men from other planets of advanced technology.

"The baby apes!" Blue Snow whispered. There at a corner were many cages, the baby apes cried and whimpered.

Blue Snow looked and she was angry, "How could they snatch babies from their mothers!"

The men were talking, "Let's take these back to our main ship for experiment..."

Blue Snow sprang out and shouted,  "Return them to their mothers!" She used her spear like a pole and hit the men.

"Damn! Who is this ?" The men exclaimed.

Blue Snow shouted, "You bastards!"

The men drew their guns, and began shooting at Blue Snow.

"Blue Snow!" Kugo exclaimed.

One shot blazed past Blue Snow's shoulder.

"Arrrhhh" Blue Snow groaned, and she hit and strike down two of the men with guns.

Kugo fought alongside with Blue Snow and beat up the other men.

The men ran away.

"Rescue the baby apes!" Blue Snow said.

They broke open the cages. There were eight small apes.

"Nako...get the mother apes !" Blue Snow said.

Nako growled and ran to the apes.

Soon the apes arrived.

Blue Snow carried two small baby apes in her arms, and looked at them, "I take you back to your mother!"

She carried the baby apes and walked to the troop. Two mother apes came and Blue Snow handed the babies to them.

Kugo had two baby apes with him, and the female apes came and Kugo handed them to the apes.

The large matriarch ape was there, and she looked at Blue Snow and nodded in gratification.

"The babies are safe now.... we did not take them..." Blue Snow said.

The large matriarch ape walked towards Blue Snow, and gently hugged her.

"Hahahaha..." Blue Snow laughed.

Kugo smiled, "Hahaha... don't become like one!"

"Naughty!" Blue Snow pinched Kugo's nose.

The two laughed amongst the apes whose children rejoined their parents.

Kugo wondered, "Who are those people ?"

Blue Snow played with the apes, and Nako growled.
