Under Buzakoradoz forest, there is a cave called "Gongbakia". Unknown creatures with big, rocky heads that can break all but diamonds live here. They were named after the cave itself; "Gongbuckies" is what the above-ground people called them. They were social creatures, clever enough to teach their people about the mushrooms and ores in the caves, and how to fight in a time of war.

Two new students of Gongbakia Underground School, Ging and Gong, had an assignment to find ore for the Gongbucky babies. The babies grew armor at an early age, and needed the blood-colored ore to keep growing. However, the ore was rare, and it was usually stolen by other creatures or humans. Ging and Gong were hopeful that they would find some though, as they usually had good luck.

"I hate dark caves; I always have bad experiences in them" said Gong, as he walked down the wrong tunnel. "Gong, you're going the wrong way!" said Ging, and he pulled Gong's tail in the right direction. The two went around the village to the other side, and kept on going deeper into the caves. There wasn’t any obstruction, but there wasn't any light either, so they carefully crawled along the ravines until they got about halfway from their target cave. The tunnel lit up suddenly, as they turned the corner and saw a huge collection of glowing mushrooms.

They crawled closer to the mushrooms to make sure they were safe. Because Gongbuckies have bad sight and smell, Ging and Gong nearly stepped on the fragile fungi. Ging looked closer, and then picked a few for his bag. Gong almost ate some, but Ging shouted at him to stop eating these. "I just wanted to taste them," Ging said "Don't you want some too?” Ging answered "They taste terrible. We should keep some of them in our belly bag to lighten up the area around us" he continued. Reluctantly, Ging put the mushrooms into his bag and gave some to Gong, and they continued down towards the undiscovered caves.

While they walked, deep rumbles, small earthquakes, and a couple rocks tumbled around near them. A little scared, they picked up the pace and ran to the ore cave. When they got there, they saw a group of humans, using pickaxes and a driller to dig out the blood ore. They were stealing the ore! Ging and Gong stared for a moment, and then decided to act. The fight began.

The mining leader shouted to his men "Kill them all, throw them into the ravine!" All the miners ran at the Gongbuckies with torches in their hands, shouting and jumping. They tried to catch the tail of the two Gongbuckies by running round them over and over again, until one of the Gongbuckies made a mistake. Ging tripped on a rock, and fell right into the hands of the miner leader. "You are too slow, Gongbuckie" he said, chuckling. Gong ran over and dove at the leaders left foot, smashing it with his big rocky head.

The leader threw Ging, but missed and threw him far away from the miners. Gong was surrounded, but he had one advantage; the miners didn't know how Gongbuckies fight. Ging curled his body into a ball shape and rolled down the cave, hitting a jump and flying into the air. He landed on top of a miner, killing him instantly. Ging did the same to a few of the other miners, but the leader escaped.









To this day, only the mining leader knows of the Gongbuckies and their fighting tactics. Ging and Gong are now warriors of the Gongbucky tribe, and they still teach the little Gongbuckies how to fight.

The leader told stories about the Gongbuckies, dark stories about fearing them. The Gongbuckies are now just a legend, but the fear of their fighting tactics still remains in the hearts of the humans.
