Revenge of Yayo Che


by @theironfelix

In the dawn of the Peruvian Jungle landscape, a Sendero Luminoso member spotted five OH-6 Cayuse helicopters but waived the anti-aircraft to not launch their load – the soldier radioed in that they finally came and to approach the compound. In these five helis, paratroopers were carrying Russian AK74s and were armoured up. In the leading one, a certain lass finishes her cigar, then picks up the radio and begins to drum up a blood frenzy:

"In Cuba, the Cubans celebrate a hero - name’s Che. In the World of drugs, we got our own Che – he of course went by many names like el Rey de Yayo, but we know him as Yayo Che. A heart in a heartless world, a spirit in spirit conditions and a sigh of us oppressed folk. Yet the World couldn’t stand this – so the World robbed us of him! Killed anyone that followed him! And humbled our pride!... But from the mud we rechristened our humbled pride, determined to show them gusanos what the dirt tastes and show them who the real cockroaches are! For if you mess with us, you’re messing with the BEST! And today marks… El Día de Juicio!”

As she released her radio, she heard from the radio static chants of “!Yayo Che!” and “!El Día de Juicio!” She saw from the dashboard that they were closing in to the compound, the place of theculo that ordered the hit – the Cuban Government intel was correct and she owned them a solid. Funny that they supported her endeavors, but she stopped laughing internally when she realized that political maneuvers and combatting La CIA influence was priority when it came to these matters. Considering this mission as her main payment to the Cubans, she snapped her mag into the AK74 and racked it.

Approaching closer, the pilot asked when to start popping the missiles and rain the lead thunder – her only reply being was “on my signal.” The pilot saluted and began to steer the OH-6 Cayuse into combat formation, resulting in the other helis following suit – she radioed in to the pilots to prepare for contact with anti-air craft and to rain hell, then she ordered to hang and kick the assassin’s corpse out. Moments later seeing her command followed, the pilot asked one last question before they got danger-close:

“¿Estás listo, Yayo Che?”

“¡Sí! Let the lead thunder start hammering the World! Let ‘em know El Día de Juicio!”

Soon she and her paratroopers parachuted and began their descent into the Jungle, there was no coming back and now they had to put all their hearts into it. She briefed all of them a million times on what was to be expected, the ins and outs of the compound and aid from el Sendero Luminoso – they were all going to move as one Arm, one Heart and one Spirit, for they had nothing to lose and everything to gain. El Día de Juicio truly began.

The great and generous @bananafish rewards the faithful!


We already know the wise and fair @bananafish can be strengthened with offerings of delegation, and curation. Through this, the strength of many, shall become the strength of one. So in time, the strength of one, can in turn, become that of many. As the delegations grow, so does the value of the vote, so as the power grows, so it returns. Indeed, the mighty god will appreciate those who support it, and in doing so, support this entire contest. For many of us, it is already it's own reward. In a steemit full of vanishing contests, your support allows this one to keep going, and allows everyone to polish their writing skills with a challenging weekly work out (not to mention @curies's precious support and votes on the participants!). By coming together and sharing the work, we can empower the potassium rich deity to create an oceanic fruit-salad that never runs out!

So join the core, support the mission! Pledge your allegiance with your delegation, show your continued support through by joining the curation trail, and all will share in the glorious bounty of the @bananafish!


A special thank to @theironfelix, @raj808, @brisby, @maverickinvictus, @cyemela, @marcoriccardi, @calluna, @oivas, @anixio, @ntowl for their precious delegations, making this project a reality!

No worries, sometimes it's ok to let your pen run (a bit) when you feel into the story. 😉

@betgames at your service! Thank you for being a frequent user! Good luck 👍

Vote your favourite story below!

My vote for this week is for @Seesladen's story!

I enjoyed all of the entries, and had a beast of a time deciding between @seesladen's The Martyr and @agmoore's Hasta la Muerte. @agmoore's prograyal of the main character terrified me and got in my head, and @seesladen's tense scenes and fantastic ending knocked me on my ass. After much agonizing, I'm casting my vote for The Martyr. That ending is still bowling me over.

This was insanely hard to pick, going for @ediblecthulhu it was really tough, and I know this isn't the most helpful vote in terms of the fast approaching cut off, but the jump forwards, skipping the action, going straight to the grit, and doing it so well, and then the ending was just brilliant.

Voting @seesladen for another amazing story.

I know it's a late entry, but I go for @marcoriccardi. It's a gem.

I'm terribly late, so take my story ending as an "out of contest", but I strongly wanted to post it, as a tribute to the great story @theironfelix wrote!

¡Venceremos, adelante, o victoria o muerte!

Hasta Gaby! First post in the house :-D

I know. I'm quite shocked with myself.

Here here to the first pitcher! Let's see if your pitch does better than the others now!

Wow! This would be super challenging for me, expecially because I'm super busy with a lot of things this week...but I swear I'll do my best for honoring @theironfelix story!

I have answered the challenge laid down by @theironfelix. I hope my offering pleases the bananafish.

Here's my version of the story: Hasta la Muerte

Hasta la Muerte = Great one. I recommend reading it! :)

Good friend, high praise :)

Listen to what @erh.germany is sayin’.

I was thinking how to go with this story because it provided enough to create several different threads and treatments.

I hope that the bananafish and Ironfelix will enjoy this week's offering!
