Previously:
To test Sabas' abilities, Fernando divulged the location of the mountain where "El Indio" was hiding. He tben changed his clothes and went ahead of Sabas. It was not long before Sabas was startled when El Indio's laughter echoed through the forest, so that...
Sabas: Show yourself, El Indio! Only a coward would hide in the dark!
El Indio: I am not brave, Captain... but I cannot accept that I would be called a coward!
Sabas: Aha! The hardened bandit pretending to be honorable... what a good opportunity. Now...
El Indio: More so the word "hardened" does not suit El Indio, Captain!
Sabas: And you do not want to be called "hardened" when you are a murderer and a robber! Where did you get that sword and that helmet?
El Indio: Where these came from is none of your business! It is sufficient that I tell you that these were left by an honorable man and now I am using them for a righteous purpose!
Sabas: Then you must know that that sword and helmet were once mine, and I am here to take them back!
El Indio: What! You are not only rash, but greedy! You are claiming these, when they were dug up from the earth and the personal weapons of the famous outlaw, Barbaro?
Sabas: Thus I am not mistaken... and since it is necessary that I reveal a secret that I have long kept... standing before you now is none less than the former Barbaro!
El Indio: What? You..? Ah, you are surely delirious. Barbaro was pro-Filipino... all of his life was devoted to the welfare of his people... your exact opposite!
Sabas: Desist, El Indio! What my intentions are with regard to my position in the government I need not explain to you!
Sabas: I shall prove it... on guard!
El Indio: A saber, against a sword? Ha-ha-ha! You will fail, Captain... you will fail!
And by the light of the torches, the father and son unbeknownst to each other, both terrifyingly skilled in handling weapons, battled.
El Indio: Make your eyes keen, Captain, so that the fight would not end quickly!
Sabas: The former Barbaro cannot be defeated so easily!
Due to Sabas's desire to capture his opponent alive, he moved carefully, when unintentionally...
Sabas: Hup! Beware, El Indio! If you do not take care, you will be pierced in the chest!
Meanwhile, unknown to the two who were fighting, Labuyo and Lieutenant Tagumpay were secretly watching...
Labuyo: Lieutenant, it seems our El Indio is in danger!
Tagumpay: Let them be... not now!
Sabas's anger was inflamed, so that when he saw an opportunity...
Sabas: There! Taste the fist of Barbaro!
With Fernando's fall, the mask over his face was dislodged.
Sabas: You...? Don Fernando?!?
El Indio: It is I... and now that you know my identity, tooth for a tooth, we shall continue this fight!
Sabas: Imagine that... you who have come from some distant shore... a foreigner masquerading as an honorable man, is an executioner spreading terror among his own people!
And the two, now equally enraged, fiercely grappled.
Eventually, while they were struggling, both saw at the same time the dagger that had fallen to the ground, so that...
When all of a sudden a gunshot echoed, and the bullet hit the dagger that they were both fighting over.
Tagumpay: Stop! Both of you!
El Indio: Lieutenant Tagumpay! This is my own affair in which you should not meddle!
Sabas: Whoever you are, you have no right to interfere in our fight!
Tagumpay: Both of you are equally important to me... but if you persist in this madness, neither of you will be much good!
What are the implications of the concern and esteem of the mysterious lieutenant for our two heroes? Will the father and son finally know each other? Who is Lieutenant Tagumpay?
To be continued...
