Hail to the king baby

"The power comes from the jungle, the terrain, you must master it and learn where to stand at all times," Dennis said as he proceeded to walk someplace, Luka followed after him.

'Is this something relating to the tatau or does he just want to be an edgy mysterious guy?' Luka asked himself as he followed along, who knows where this guy is leading him, but he seems like he is willing to help Luka.

"Vaas uses radio towers to map out the terrain and contact his men, scramblers are used to stop the signal. My people have no use for them, but to you, they will be useful. Go and disable that one, your friends are waiting for you at the top." Dennis said as he pointed at a rather large and steep hill, Luka nodded and went off.

The hill was a little steep, somewhat hard to climb, especially when you have various injuries and are riddled with pain.

Thankfully Luka soon arrived at the top where a tall, metal radio tower awaits him alongside Grant and Jason.

"Luka! You are awake, thank god, I thought you were dead!" As he came into the sights of the brothers Jason let out a relieved sigh.

"Well, I don't die that easily, at least not yet," Luka says with a chuckle, he really grazed death this time, he was lucky to live.

"In any case, it is good to have you with us, we are gonna need every ally we can get," Grant says as he gets up and puts his hand out for Luka as Dillon did for Arnold in the first Predator movie, god is that movie awesome, better than even a thousand of this new predator that came out in 2018, fuck that movie, the original is 100 times better.

Luka grins as he reciprocates, they both have strong arms and strong grips so they let go only after a few seconds.

"Now that you are here it's time for us to discuss a plan of action," Grant says it would be best if they just went away but their friends and brother would then probably die, that's not good.

"Hold up, I gotta go and do a job, then we'll talk," Luka says as he points st the tower before he begins the climb.

Not gonna lie, Luka didn't like the climb, the tower was wobbly and poorly constructed, constantly creaking and threaten to fall apart, Luka did not enjoy getting all the way up to the tower.

Once he got up he searched around a little before he found the box with the wires, unfortunately, it was locked but Luka took quick care of that with his machete, he then activated the tower.

As he was looking at his handy work Luka looked beyond the box and into the jungle, it set him off in a daze.

The jungle, it's so large, as if it's going to devour the earth, he can hear the various sounds of the animals and alongside the rising sun, the jungle looks spectacular.

'I think I know my goal.' Luka thought as he looked at the jungle with open eyes, it was astonishing and kinda enlightening.

There is no need for him to immediately have a life goal, small goals are fine, a goal for the situation is fine too, break up life into different goals and achieve them.

"I'm gonna rule this place, have my finger on the pussy trigger," Luka said with a zealous smile, he has decided, he will become the strongest in this jungle.

He shall adapt and learn, the jungle shall teach him and he shall become stronger, he shall conquer the jungle, become its king, he shall become the strongest on this damn island even if it's the last thing he shall do.

Unnoticeable for him the tatau on his arm seemed to expand a bit at his words, skills, and experience are what makes a good warrior, but a strong will and desire are needed to make a great one, together with talent, the ultimate warrior is born.

[Congratulations Luka, I feel happy for you.]

As Luka admired the forest for a bit more he noticed a zip line next to him, for some reason that just made him happy.

He doesn't know why maybe it has something to do with his lost memories but once he saw the zipline he couldn't resist the urge.

Grabbing a pipe from nearby Luka went down the zipline with a childlike smile and happiness bubbling inside of him.

Unfortunately, Luka came down pretty quickly, he wished the line was long, but as he came down Dennis greeted him.

"Nice ride?"

"Fantastic, 10/10, would do again," Luka said he doesn't know why but he just feels such happiness when seeing a zipline.

"I guess that you have activated the tower, that is good, give me your map and walkie talkie," Dennis said as he spread out his hand but Luka just looked back at him.

"Wait for the others to arrive," Luka said, Dennis nodded, soon they saw 2 people coming down the hill, pretty soon they arrived where they were standing.

"Damn, you, could, have, told, us, that, you, were, going, down!" Jason said as he took big breaths in between his words.

"You could have used the zipline the same as me," Luka said with a deadpan face, why didn't these guys go the same route as him? The zipline is clearly visible, is there something wrong with their brains?

Jason and Grant stopped moving for a second upon hearing that, they then face slapped themselves.

"Right, we could have done that."

"Well, anyway, take out the map and radio that you have," Luka said, Jason, obliged and took out his map and radio before handing them over to Luka.

Luka then spread out the map on the hood of a nearby car and Dennis came next to them.

"See these areas? These are the areas which you can make use of, green means plants, red means animals, gray means settlements and orange is enemies. The radio towers will be useful, the people can notify you if there's a migration or if they spotted an enemy. It will also allow the merchants to have guns, the more radio towers you free the mire diverse the guns." Dennis said as he pointed at the different points on the map all of which are marked differently.

"Go forth now, a true warrior most hunt, it is the natural order of things. Use your instincts and hunt, society taught you how to fail, not nature. Go over here and kill 2 boars, also get these plants, then come back, I shall teach you about the jungle." Dennis said more so to Luka than Grant or Jason while giving them a paper with the listed plants, he then went away, while humming.

Luka, Jason, and Grant just looked at each other for a while before Luka opened his mouth.

"Jason, I think that you should stay here and not come with us," Luka said which shocked Jason, what does he mean not cone with them? He must save his friends.

"What!? No! I am going to help!" Jason said with clear anger on his face.

"Listen, Jason, just because you aren't with us that doesn't mean that you won't be helping. We are outsiders in this island, we know nothing and nobody, we are all alone. I need you, Jason, to become accustomed to the people, to become one of them, integrate into their fold, and become our eyes and ears." Luka said to Jason with all seriousness, that Jason began to think about his words but before he could deny that his brother stepped in.

"Luka is right Jason, you aren't a fighter, you haven't killed anyone and you wouldn't know what to do in a fight, we need you but not as a fighter," Grant said in all seriousness as he stared Jason in the eyes.

"But what about Luka? He too hasn't been trained, he isn't a fighter!" Jason said while pointing at Luka.

"Actually I am a fighter, I served some time in the military, and I have killed," Luka stated a matter of fact, he can reveal as much as he wants and he can lie even more.

"I had my suspicion, It seems that I was right, as you see Jason you can't come with us but you will still help us, information is a powerful tool."

"All right then, but what will the 2 of you do then?" Jason asked as he dejectedly hung his head low before looking at them.

Luka and Grant just looked at each other for a few moments, they are comrades and allies right now, but Luka is still new, he is suspicious, this is an alliance, not a friendship which serves Luka just fine.

"I'll go out there and shoot them up, Grant will sneak into the enemies base, he will do the exact same thing as you Jason but with them," Luka said while pointing at Grant.

To this Grant opened his eyes in astonishment, is this guy for real? He is willing to take all of the heat?

To be clear Grants' position won't be easy, he could get discovered and killed at any time, but if they catch him or his brother or something like that he can just betray Luka and get to probably live.

Luka can't do that, everyone will be immediately hostile to him and they will immediately shoot, to him, it's either live or die no middle ground.

"Are you sure about this? I don't completely trust you but this is a huge risk and I don't want to have your blood on my hands." Grant asked, if he is really going to do this he has to be absolutely sure that he knows what he is getting in to and that he won't regret his decision.

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

"Well good then, I shall remain here until I can somehow sneak in, Dennis seems to like you for some reason so go do what he asked, also take these, they will be more useful to you than to us," Grant said as he and Jason began to leave leaving just Luka there with the car, map, and radio, time to go to work.
