ANCIENT AFRICAN WARRIORS – SOME HUMAN, SOME NOT - MUST FIGHT A MONSTROUS EVIL TO DEATH OR IMMORTALITY; IN BATTLES THAT ERUPT OUT OF THE LEGENDARY PAST INTO MODERN TIMES!

SYNOPSIS:

Omu, a young Acwezi Warrior, and Chui the leopard have been raised together as brothers. Telepaths, they were bonded together both intellectually and spiritually by the Gods when they were infants. This occurred while witnessing the murder of their mothers by the Demon Priests of Embile, the gigantic Spider-Queen and her hordes of giant Spiders and half-human Spidermen in ancient, pre-colonial Africa. In present times, Dr. Janice Taylor, OB/GYN, is being stalked by violent Muslim fanatics led by one of the immortal Demon Priests, for her books and lectures condemning Female Genital Mutilation. Back in ancient times, the village is attacked again by the monsters and almost everyone is murdered except for the Acwezi women of child-bearing age. The Acwezi women, including Omu’s lover Naima, have been forced-marched to the monstrous Spider Mountain. Now Omu and Chui must travel with the few remaining Acwezi Warriors to rescue their women. Along the way they make alliances with the great Lions and Elephants. In the present, Dr. Taylor foils one assasination attempt as the evil cabal plans others. Back in the past, the Acwezi join their Batembuzi Warrior brothers for the infiltration of Spider Mountain. Once inside, they discover that the Demon Priests are committing vicious female circumcisions on the helpless women prior to forcing them to mate with a giant male Black Widow Spider to produce the monstrous Spidermen. Omu and Chui go on reconnaisance to evaluate the enemy numbers and resources. During the recon they free Chui’s love interest, the leopardess Namoora and discover that the gigantic Black Widow Queen Embile secretes a magical green slime that can cure any wound and has made her Demon Priests immortal unless de-capitated. They procure some of the magic green water treated with the secretions and report back to the Warriors. Chui and Namoora leave to get help from the great Lions and Elephants. Omu makes his way down to the giant cage where the women are being held and smuggles dozens of knives to the Acwezi and Batembuzi women, who are formidible fighters in their own right. A new Spiderman is about to be born, which is a horrible death to a pregnant human female victim. The Demon Priests will want to mate another woman to the huge Death Spider and the Warriors have to launch their assault. A ferocious battle erupts and the Warriors do well at first but are eventually almost overwhelmed by the superior numbers of their enemies. During a brief interlude in the fighting, Omu and Naima declare their eternal love for each other and turn to face their doom. Suddenly, one hundred lions and twenty elephants join the attack and the battle turns. Omu, Chui, Naima and Namoora join Senior Warrior Kasan, his wife Neyere and King and Queen Simba in pursuit of the Demon Priests, who run through Queen Embiles lair to escape. Now the Warriors and their big cats must fight the gigantic Queen Embile who is over two-hundred feet in length, including her legs…to the death. They finally succeed in killing her, but are badly wounded in the process. They continue their chase of the Demon Priests. As they enter a tunnel passage to another cave, all except Chui are splashed with a dead spiders venom and become paralyzed on top of a mound. Chui then gets his tail splashed, and fighting to remain concious, makes his way to Omu and helps get the magic green water dispensed, whichs saves their lives and makes them immortal. They make a triumphant return to the Acwezi survivors with the courageous Lions and Elephants. In 2000 A.D +, the Teams re-appear and begin to finish off the remaining Demon Priests who are the original source of the Female Genital Mutilation/Female Circumcision afflicting young women all over the world. Dr. Taylor, revealed to be the Immortal Naima, makes a dramatic speech at the United Nations telling young women to fight back against these atrocities and kills the final assassin sent by the evil cabal. Then Naima, Omu, Chui and Namoora have a final confrontation with the Chief High Demon Priest who was responsible for the murders of Chui and Omu’s mothers. Our story ends with the immortal Warriors playing in an African meadow.
