I am a lumberjack and that is okay, looking for arsonists all day. That is not what a lumberjack does all day, but I don't care, it is more fun that way.
Our orange-haired nuisance wandered singing, dancing and almost aimlessly through the forest in which she expected the culprit responsible for the attack on the bulldozer to be. She was armed with a 5 foot long fishing net, a pair of scissors, two cans of whole chickens, a flare gun and a machete.
She knew, whoever the attacker was, he was no small fry and definitely needed special preparation.
Green Dollar signs floated in front of Yayo's eyes. She couldn't wait to embrace the rest of those sacred dollar bills.
In order to draw attention, Yayo also brought a pot and a large metal spoon. Repeatedly she struck the pot, creating a loud and ear-destroying sound that echoed through the forest.
"Come out, come out. Wherever you are. I will catch you, and sell you." shouted Yayo into random directions, her voice growing more and more agitated every time she changed directions.
"If you don't come out," Yayo continued," I will burn down the forest."
Yayo put a flare into the chamber of her flare gun. "I am not joking. Evil murderers like you must be smoked out of their homes."
Not too far from Yayo's current spot was Yukipo, sitting, with a grim expression on her face, on a large branch of a tree from which she could well observe the screaming orange-haired dwarf, who threw around curses and insults towards her.
"Who is she?" Yukipo wondered as she contemplated on what to do.
Her body had just recently fully recovered from the injuries she received from fighting that awful monster, and so Yukipo was not really in the mood for another confrontation.
But what could she do? This girl was threatening to burn down her forest. "Why can't they leave us alone?" she whispered in an aggressive tone. "First they send this awful creature and now a gnome."
Yayo felt like an old chum and a bit frustrated with the refusal of her enemy to show its face. So, she aimed with her flare gun at a earthy spot with not so much vegetation. "How about a little warning shot?" she thought as she pulled the trigger.
With a bang shot the flare out of the gun. A red flame emitted and filled the air with smoke and a stinging light, which pierced trough the smog.
"How about now," taunted Yayo," will we see your beautifully evil face now?"
"As you wish." a timid, but, in its own right, threatening voice announced itself behind Yayo. Barely able to react, the orange-haired goofball received a huge stick to the face, which sent her flying against a nearby tree.
"Ouchie." the surprise hit had rattled Yayo quite a bit. As she dusted herself off and checked for possible bruises, she had to surprisingly realize that her attacker was just the same size as her. "Now this is unexpected." she thought shocked.
(...From this point on: Yukipos Lines are in cursive and Yayos in bold. Narrator is underlined...)
What are you doing here...you meanie!?
Yukipo's Face was red with anger and she had a tight hold on that thick stick, with which she had given Yayo a taste of her strength.
This forest is a peaceful place. Intruders like you are not wanted here.
Since the flare gun was knocked out of Yayo's hands from the impact with the tree, she unsheathed her machete.
That is rich, coming from the vandal who killed two people.
Yukipo reacted slightly surprised by this accusation.
I killed no one. I only destroyed an evil monster that was trying to devour our forest.
There were people in this 'monster'. You just inconsiderately not just destroyed valuable property, but also extinguished the life of humans.
That was not my intention, I just did what I had to do in order to protect this place. Wouldn't you have done the same?
There was a short pause, as both opponents looked each other in the eyes.
Yes, I would have...probably, but that is not the point. People give money to the person who captures you. And I will be the one who gets it.
Yukipo did not know what money was, but she did not care about that right now anyway.
You can try to catch me, but I won't make it easy for you. I will protect this forest. The plants. The animals.
Environmental terrorists like you are a bother. Claiming to be helping nature, while they are destroying other peoples lifes. Convoluted morals and a lack of sense.
Yayo pointed her machete at Yukipo.
I don't know these fancy words of yours. Terawr...est. But I have a mission.
Yukipo stood her ground undeterred.
The hard way then.
Both took a fighting stance, all the while not loosing eye contact with each other.
For nature...
For money...and...uh...justice...I guess.
