Likewise, the Revitals also looked at the otherworldly marine, puzzled and also alerted.
"Ah no. This is Earth, really. This is really Earth." the Bomoh replied assuringly, "But I sense otherworldly essence from you... Have you come from another dimension? Likely." ("However, I have sensed some otherworldly essence from you... Have you come here from another dimension? Probably.")
A soldier hastily rushed to the room and shouted, "Puan Helmina dah datang! Puan Helmina dah datang sini!" ("Lady Helmina have come! Lady Helmina have come here!")
The entire room soon fell into a deathly silence. Thuderous footsteps could be heard not far away as someone slowly strolled her way. At the same time, a menacing, yet alluring scent could be smelled from afar. As each second passed, the footsteps only got louder and the scent grew stronger. A high-ranking female in a fancy battlesuit stepped in. She shot the marine an alluring gaze, before clearing her throat and spoke in a sexy, yet dominating, feminine tone.
"Ehem! Gutentag, Pelajanmun wakus! Bagaimanekah leitei semue? Kenapekah bisingnye sini tadi? Lututlah di depan Puani leiteis." ("Ehem! Good day, my servants! How are you all? Why was this place so noisy just now? Kneel before your lady.")
The other Revitals all knelt before her. "K-khabar baik, Puan woteis, kamsiah sangat." ("We're f-fine, our lady, thank you very much.")
Helmina seemed to have sensed something unusual in her camp. Helmina then looked around and soon she noticed the marine. She promptly pointed her finger on him and said, "Ohh tengoklah, wotei mempunya di sini jatki asingnyen Pendatang'i! Benarkah dier deh yang membuat Bising tadi?" ("Ohh look, we have here a foreign outlander! Is he truly the one that made the noise?")
The bomoh nodded and said, "Ja, Puan wakus. Wotei--"
Puan Helmina interrupted the bomoh and said, "Ja, ja. Wa tahu, lu tak perlu berulang Ceritekan tadi. Wa sudah mendengar Semue yang berlaku tadi. Bagilah wa bertindak." ("Ya,ya. I know, you don't have to repeat the story just now. I have listened to all that happened recently. Let me act.")
She then sat down right in front of the marine, then gave him a gaze and a smile.
"So, is it rude if I don't introduce myself before a newcomer, hmm? And sorry for our funny tongue, hehehe... So here I am, Puan Helmina -- Teau Helmina von Saantau -- Captain of the 44th Regiment. And of course, I am a sexy mistress to these poor fellows!" this lady captain, Helmina, proudly exclaimed with a big evil grin.
"Anyways, young lad, let's me and you have a talk, shall we? What shall we talk about? Anyways, outlander, maybe you don't know what the fuck is Whampoa, and maybe you are all confused and befuddled. Right, dear? So let me tell you our glorious fucking history. And after that, I want to hear about your story too, boy!" she leaned a bit closer to the marine, then backed off to normal.
"So, as this tiny little shaman has said, we are Whampoans, and this, Whampoa, is our lovely country. You may find our culture a very fucking crazy clusterfuck. Indeed, it is, and we are proud of it. Our current culture is a melting pot of Lemuria's beauteous ancient culture, blended further with the other lovely cultures... we have German designs, we have Malay heritages, we have Chinese foods and we have Japanese spirits. Blended and mixed like a yummy rojak and a cute little bastard. And, of course, my dear, there are tons of fucking reasons in history why is it as such..."
"Our history begun a very long time ago, stemming all the way back to the ancient time of Lemuria. Our Lemuria was a very beautiful and glorious nation long ago. Many fancy lovely castle in the blue skies, amidst the heavenly clouds. Elegant villages and towns in the midst of an ancient forest." she said with a proud and happy smile, but then he suddenly withdrew her smile and continued in a sad cry, "However, it has been gone and sunken in the depths of sea all of a sudden. What a fucking shame indeed. The Lemurians, our foremothers, were scattered as Lemuria sunk into the deep fucking sea. Lemurians became a wandering people in Asia, homeless and hungry. Then after wandering here and there for many thousands of years... our foremothers finally settled in places such as Cantonia, Taiwan, Nusantara and Japan. We were living peacefully for many centuries later, then came the Chinese Empire."
She cleared her throat and proceeded with a dark solemn voice, "Since then, we, the Whampoan people, have been living under Chinese feudalism for many damned centuries. Our ancient ancestry and culture was buried and denied by the Chinese invaders. Our sisters and mothers were denied their worth and were dragged to slavery and drudgery. We were forced to forget about Lemuria, speak in their fucking ching-chong tongue, live in the way they Chinese live, and finally we had to kneel before the Chinese emperors! What a fucking disgrace to us Whampoans, the glorious descendants of Lemuria!"
She heaved a sigh and showed a smirk on her face. "However, every cloud has a silver lining, they say. And fucking true indeed. In the midst of this shithole, we Whampoans have fought the goddamn Chinese and the many other conquerors, who crave to devour and consume our nation. Countless heroes and messengers have descended to guide us Whampoans to our destiny and glory."
Her eyes suddenly opened bigger and glittered in glory, "We have this great pirate mistress, Puan Sekjong (Ching I Sao). She, a self-made woman and a widow, who led the Cantonian pirates fucking up Qing China and the British Empire! And she's one of my greatest idols as well!" She had a pause and looked upwards at the ceilings, grinning like a happy lark as she thought of her heroine.
She then continued with the story of some other supposedly "Whampoan" heroes, but as she went on, she began to sound quite bored unlike before, "Then we have this Jose Rizal, a lovely writer born in Spanish Phillippines. He have spread his mighty ideals and visions far and wide, but alas, few listened to him and he ended up getting killed by the Spanish conquerors in the end. Encik Sun Jatsen (Sun Yat-sen) and Encik Tsiang Kaisek (Chiang Kai-shek), two of Whampoa's greatest heroes, have brought the damned Chinese Empire to a collapse and made Whampoa great again. Without so much fucking wealth as the other fat and lazy warlords, these two heroes actually managed to mold the Whampoan Legion in the middle of desolate poverty. They had crushed the feuding warlords, united the Whampoans under one banner, and fiercely defended Whampoa from the Japanese and the Chinese. Leftenan Adnan, a good boy hailing from Malaya, had also sliced many of those Japanese sushis in Singapore."
She let out a sigh of relief after having finished telling the tale of the other heroes. She then smiled again and went on storytelling, "And finally, under the reign of Kaisar Tsai Pai-hsiang, we Whampoans rose up, as the mighty Holy Huaxian Empire... The tides have been turned, and we came conquering China for once... Never once people thought this day would come, where we ruled over China and we took on their name! The rulers of fucking Holy Huaxia! We have also held many crusades all over the world, bringing all the lovely lands from Malaya and Japan under our domination! Yes, domination, it was fucking domination! I am so proud and I very much wished I could be as powerful as him! We also went for Africa, to hunt a terrific gang of clowns, while also pushing our frontiers far and wide!"
"Alas, Emperor Pai-hsiang has already been dead for long. After his death, our Empire was carved into a few big pieces. Many years later, another emperor stepped up and united all of Whampoan under the Holy Huaxian Empire again. A few powerful dynasties have risen to rule Whampoa in peace and unity, and with each passing day our Holy Huaxian Empire grew stronger and bigger. But the peace did not last for too long. We have lost these powerful dynasties, the damned throne is missing of any emperors for around a century. The lands of Whampoa had been divided amongst feuding warlords. Another feudal age came, with tons of fucking feuds and wars tearing Whampoa apart. Worse yet, the Harkyiuian Triads and their Shadowspawns came raining down from the skies like the cats and dogs they are, ravaging and assaulting Whampoa in their frenzy. But we Whampoans have beaten these beasts back to their beloved Alastorn."
"After nearly a thousand of years have passed, we see countries like Nanyang and Taiwan rising as great powers. At that time, the Holy Huaxian Empire still stood, but weakened and scattered beyond salvation. They were still part of this Holy Huaxian Empire, but they also held lands outside, and the imperial authority was pitifully weak and impotent. That Huaxia was fucking pitiful by that time, nothing more than a ghost of the past age, and an overglorified piece of useless shit. Finally, death came striking like a loud drum. The Indian Empire and the Peiyangese Empire came marching to our lands, spreading revolution and leaving destruction in their wake. Those fuckers have dominated the Whampoan people, and finished off the Holy Huaxian Empire for real."
"Then, we rose again and fought them back to their lands. Peace was then restored, but sometimes India and Peiyang were still there to poke our Whampoa every now and then. Poking us Whampoans like fucking mosquitoes and flies, very annoying indeed. Many decades have passed, all of us were growing tired of their stings, and we Whampoans could also wait no longer... to unite our motherland as one! Thus, we have risen to fuck their puny nations, and gloriously we have proclaimed the founding of our Reich!"
"However, the good scene did not last lost, for we were dragged for another damn war. That time, however, we were defeated and we lost. Those useless feudal warlords have left our country in chaos and poverty. Many enemy countries have swallowed parts of Whampoa, and they have also sucked our wealth dry like the leeches they are. Gangsters, warlords and petty partisans have sprang like mushrooms growing after a heavy rain."
"Then, this great glorious man -- Tschow Konrad -- our current emperor, have risen and led the Whampoan people for revival. We have fought many foes in our revolutions. In the end, much of the Whampoan mainland is united under his wise rule. He has made Whampoa great again! Whampoa is strong, and will always be! Only a few petty feudal warlords remain in the outlying islands and in Africa. Soon, we shall rise and conquer Earth for the Whampoan glory!"
As Helmina finished her storytelling, she looked around left and right, and left an evil smirk on her face. Her eyes seem to hold great ambitions and hopes for her nation, and for herself. One can really feel her menacing presence and her lust for love and glory, if one stares at her eyes long enough.
"It is your turn now, my little boy. Speak. Lady Helmina wants to hear your tale." a smiling Helmina said, but her smile seem to be quite thirsty and menacing...
He nods as the story is recorded, reviewed, and checked out by the Neurological Scanner. He simply shrugs when she tells him to speak, and points to the C-16 Rifle. "Give me my rifle or I won't tell you a damn thing. I'm on a hostile planet with unknown lifeforms who have advanced weaponry, and you think I'm going to just spill that kind of information? I think you're off your rocker."
