Eto jumped through the fight, using strength to block attacks from both tribes to hit each other. The princess also let go and started to talk to her fellow members. Some stopped and listened to her, not understanding why she wanted them to stop the attack on their tribe and the giant tree.
When she wanted to explain, they already continued fighting.
Eto looked around, jumping and running to disable the weapons from the soldiers.
With a lot of shouting, he used his powers to break the rifles and stop the attacks from the Kojo.
When soldiers were left without a weapon, Eto made sure they could escape the attacks or he blocked them.
The princess looked around and found Gongarza a few miles ahead, with Djon running towards him.
Gongarza fought bravely, hitting different soldiers and hearing their armor crack. With a giant spear and a sharp stone at the end, he quickly disabled them from their rifles.
One soldier fell down, with his helmet broken, he quickly removed it.
A frightened boy looked up and his eyes said he regretted ever going into this fight.
Gongarza quickly walked up to him, holding his spear high and ready to stab him.
The spear went down and the eyes of the boy closed, afraid of the incoming attack.
A sound of a clash could be heard.

The boy opened his eyes and he saw a huge alien in black robes, holding four swords with four arms, blocking the attack.
‘Run,’ he yelled to the boy and he quickly got away.
‘I thought you were a friend. Someone we could trust,’ Gongarza said with anger to Djon. He only responded with a grin.
‘I still am. We all are,’ he answered and he quickly looked up with Gongarza following his gaze.
The tortoise flew over and started to drop and shoot beams of water over the fires.
Gongarza turned his eyes back to Djon who looked at him with the same grin.
‘If you can see through the shadow of your anger, you’ll notice that these soldiers do not wish to harm you. They are just doing what they are told. There is someone responsible but without that voice to tell them what to do, they wouldn’t be here.’
Gongarza, still confused, pushed harder with his spear, still being blocked by Djon.
‘If they don’t want to do this, then why listen? They can doubt their master’s intentions and act on their own, can’t they?’ he shouted.
‘Would your soldiers?’ Djon asked and Gongarza felt the sudden impact of doubt.
He looked around, seeing his soldiers fight against the soldiers in armor, some already broken and down. What he could see, now that he focussed, were young humans, afraid and fighting against their will. Fighting against his soldiers who keep fighting, no matter the enemy.
‘Stop,’ Gongarza said quietly and he pushed back, making the attack on Djon end.
‘Stop,’ he said again, realizing what was happening here.
‘Stop!’ he shouted and his voice echoed through the whole tribe.
All Kojo soldiers stopped their attack, turning their gaze towards their commander.
Not one soldier used this opportunity.
Instead, they all tried to run or broke down, low on energy.
The battle stopped and the sound of fires going out by the water could be heard. That, and the sound of something approaching.
At the end of the tribe, to the edge of the jungle, figures came climbing up the trees and entered the tribe.
Lowe and his Ricu warriors had come to the battlefield.
‘Time to take what is ours,’ he said to his warriors as they stormed the battlefield.
