J2: The Deception
Jade slowly woke up and wondered what happened. After a few moments, she remembered that she had been in Drago's arms and she blacked out somehow. And now he was gone. She looked at her watch and saw it was almost ten o'clock.
She knew Jim expected her to go over to his house at eight, but it was too late now. She feared he would be extremely upset now, like she stood him up or something. So she called him right away, planning to give the excuse that she fell asleep and lost track of time.
When he didn't pick up the phone, she figured he was plenty mad at her. He had Caller ID, so he would know it was her. He probably didn't want to talk to her now.
Just then, Drago came through the door looking nervous, anxious, and weirdly happy of all things. She went to him instantly, demanding answers.
"Where did you go? Did you go over to Jim's house to start something? You better not have! I don't want you hurting or killing him!" Jade cried, grabbing his arms and shaking him. Jim was taken back by her words.
It was like she really did care for him. She didn't sound like she was faking her concern for him. He always thought she didn't really mean those sugary caring words, believing she only said those types of things to him in person to just be fakey nice.
He figured she couldn't care for him if she was in love with Drago. But her words did sound genuine. That confused him somewhat.
"No, I didn't." Jim said, liking this disguise now. "I'm going to listen to you for once and not bother him at all. What matters is that we are together." he said, hoping to get intimate with her quickly. He just had to have her, by any means.
Trying to act like how he thought Drago behaved, he roughly pulled Jade to him and forcefully held her. He didn't want to act too much like his real self otherwise Jade might figure out something was wrong or different about him.
Jade complained when he yanked her to him like that, confusing Jim. Didn't a monster always pull and yank without care? He didn't understand and looked at her bewildered.
"Sheesh, knock it off! You don't need to hold me like a prisoner, Drago. You jerk." she said, pushing away so she could breathe. Jim didn't realize how tightly he was holding her. He had to be more careful since a regular hold to Jim would equal a bone-crushing hold with Drago's strength.
He loosened his grip on Jade and held her lightly, which was more to Jade's liking. "I'm sorry, Jade." he said, wondering when he could get a chance to kiss her.
Surely he would be granted many kisses being Drago. He could at last feel and taste her when she finally would be giving her true love out to him.
In the back of his mind, he knew this was like living a lie like he accused Jade of doing, but he was too desperate to care anymore. He wanted Jade too much. He had to have her, by any means.
"You're still not mad at me, are you?" she asked, snuggling against him. Jim reveled having her being so affectionate like this, he could only dreamed of such before. He nuzzled her tenderly before he answered.
"Of course not." he replied, wondering what she could have done to make Drago angry at her. He couldn't ask her since that would give her a hint that he really wasn't Drago.
"I can never be really mad at you, Jade. I love you." he purred, gingerly kissing her neck. He was not used to a willing Jade like this so he was very timid even though he wanted to kiss and feel her all night long.
Eventually, his shy nature melted away and he increased his passionate kisses and caresses. He held her closer and tighter, but only a little, fearing he could hurt her with his new strength.
To his joy, Jade let him kiss and touch her all over. She even began to undress the both of them, scaring him. But he wanted to find out what it was like to make love to her, even in Drago's body.
She led him to her bedroom and soon she was upon her bed, naked and beautiful. She pulled him over top of her and removed the last pieces of clothing from his scaly green body.
Jim couldn't hold back the lust overtaking him then, he just had to have her. She was so willing, so seductively enticing, so perfect! Moments after, he did have her and she was giving her love to him.
He couldn't believe how wonderful this felt, it was beyond anything he could have fantasized even. The way her body moved in harmony with his, er, Drago's body, was amazing.
No wonder Drago didn't want to give her up, Jim could understand that easily. And neither did he. Ever.
Drago groaned and woke up slowly. Immediately, he could tell something was wrong. His vision was weaker and unclear. He had this terrible nagging 'dying' feeling inside him now.
It felt something like how his human side gave him due to his mortality, but it was a hundred percent strong now...
He tried to get up, but then noticed he was chained up by his arms against a wall in some basement. "What the h-ll is this!?" he yelled, then widened his eyes in shock. Why did he hear Jim's voice instead of his own?
He looked down to see Jim's clothing on him and when he looked to his hands, he saw human flesh tone and no green scales. He couldn't get his tail to move since it wasn't there.
Quickly, he understood that something horrible had happened to him. That idiot Jim had cast a powerful spell to switch their minds into the other's body!
He struggled against the chains, but his inhuman strength was gone as well, along with his fire power. No flames came from those sickly weak human hands when he willed for his fire to come forth.
Furious as the boiling lava fire lakes in Hell, Drago shrieked out his anger. The pitiful weak human yells that came from his new throat disgusted him to death.
"D-mn it! Curse you, bastard! When I get my body back, I swear I'll torture you slowly and painfully!" Drago growled, hating his new voice. It was that idiot Jim's voice... How dare he do this to him!!!
After several moments went by of yelling and cursing obscenities, Drago calmed down a little, but not much. "D-mn, I can feel this body dying faster than my human side in my real body. This feeling of death is unbelievable! How can Jade stand it?"
Then he realized something appalling that filled him with dread. If that moron Jim was in his body now, he was most likely screwing around with Jade, but he'd never know it since it would be his smells on her only.
He doubt she would ever tell him the truth too, she could easily hide it from him. Whether or not she knew or told him, he would never really know either way no matter what now...
Drago struggled against the chains again and again, wearing himself out quickly. He was more disgusted and extremely hateful of humans once again. He briefly believed Jade would betray him for the fun of it and he felt a strong urge to kill her suddenly. Slowly and painfully...
Shaking his head, he growled to himself. He was jumping to conclusions without any real proof. He quickly dashed the idea that Jade was going to betray him just because she had the power to do so without him knowing. She wouldn't betray him, she loved him, duh! Thinking that comforted him.
But still, he had a nagging worry that that it could happen just the same anyway. He had to be on guard no matter what. He wasn't going to be anyone's fool. He may be in love with Jade, but he wasn't going to let her overtake him in any way.
And being trapped inside a full-blooded human body was beyond utter humiliation, a degradation he couldn't stand even halfway in his original body. He was getting more cranky than usual now.
'Ok, I have to play this smart since that idiot stole my body and strength from me...' Drago thought to himself, trying to devise a plan on how to escape. 'I've got to calm down and think of something to get out of this stupid mess...'
He began to try wiggling his hands out of the cuffs that held up his arms. If he could get them free, he might be able to see if idiotic Jim carried a cel phone on him so he could call for help. After some painful struggling, he was able to pull out the right hand.
Grimacing, he stood on his left leg since the other was broken while he searched this body for a cel phone. Thankfully, his first guess was right on and he pulled a cel phone out of a jeans pocket.
He continued to work his other hand out and eventually it was free too. In annoyance, he healed Jim's broken leg just so he could walk normally again.
He hated to do anything to help out Jim, but at the moment, healing that leg would benefit Drago at this point now. He immediately started to dial Jade's phone number to warn her, but he stopped when he thought of something more important.
"I better find a spell to reverse this problem first." he said, hearing Jim's voice again. Ugh! He decided to only talk when he really had to, so he wouldn't have to be annoyed by listening to Jim's voice vocalizing his words.
If he called Jade first, how would he convince her that he and Jim switched bodies and that it was Jim's fault while sounding like Jim? She would think he was nuts and probably not be able to believe him, especially without any proof.
So, he searched around the basement and found some black magic books to read. Sighing irritably, he took the ones he knew were worthwhile and sat down in a chair near a table.
He read and studied for hours, researching for a spell to remedy this new problem. After almost two hours, he learned a spell that should reverse the mind-switching spell, but only if he was at least a few feet away from Jim.
Determined to straighten this mess out now, he went into the kitchen for a quick revenge fix. Angrily, he grabbed a butcher knife and took it with him to Jade's house. He would punish Jim well using Jim's hands to cut his body so he would have some pain when he returned to his original body.
He had a feeling Jim was sleeping with his fiancée and this boiled his blood. Not only that, but he was doing it in Drago's body! What wouldn't that human try to steal from him next?!
It took his twice as long to get back to Jade's house due to Jim's pathetic human physique, but once he got there, he unlocked the door using a key Jade hid outside. He carried one of Jim's black magic books with him along with the knife.
It had a demonic symbol on it, a five pointed star upside down that had light markings of evil inscribed within the star. Drago could hardly see them with Jim's weak eyesight, but he could sense them.
The evilness of it all comforted his dark side, but that wasn't enough to calm the explosive rage within him. He would stab and rake the knife over Jim's body while he chanted the reversal spell.
Then when Jim was returned to his original body, he would feel his wrath before he could employ his claws on him. Besides, he decided against attacking Jim in front of Jade, since she could get hurt when they fought. Plus, she would nag at him for beating up Jim.
He didn't feel like being reprimanded for any reason. So, having Jim cut up by that idiot's own hands would be something satisfying since Drago knew he wouldn't be allowed to claw him up.
He stopped a bit thinking of what he just thought. Not allowed? He narrowed his eyes. It was like Jade WAS controlling him! Well...inadvertently and Drago had to admit he was obeying her pretty much blindly due to his feelings for her.
He couldn't go kill anymore like he used to and his most hated rival was not to be hurt, because Jade said so. 'She probably enjoys controlling you...' his dark side said, implying that he was already being played for as a fool.
'No, no, it's not like that!' His human side tried to reason with him, but he was plenty mad just the same. If he wanted a willing slave, er, girlfriend, then he would have to behave... Curse it all!
'D-mn it!' he thought to himself with disgust. 'I can't believe I'm such a soft goodie-goodie now...' He snuck into Jade's bedroom and grit his teeth seeing Jim, in his scaly green body, sleeping with Jade.
Immediately with his eyes closed, he chanted the spell softly while holding the black magic book open in his left hand as evil spiritual reference and began to slash the knife over his body with the other hand. No way was he going to let Jim off easy for this one!
When bright swirls of white and magenta appeared, Jim and Jade woke up. But it was too late, the spell was in effect. When Drago opened his eyes, he knew the spell worked. His vision was back to normal and that terrible nagging dying feeling was no longer as strong, though it was still there.
Even with the help of the Dog Talisman, he would always feel his mortal body dying just the same. That's how it just was since he didn't know a spell to fully remove his mortality correctly.
With many cuts and stabs from the knife, Jim began to shriek in pain when he returned to his body. He dropped the knife and book and fell to the floor, holding his wounds.
Jade was confused and upset, thinking Jim was doing this to get revenge for her not coming over to his house for unhexing. She became very angry at him to breaking into her house.
He had probably seen Drago in bed with her and knew that the scaly teen hung out here. It was no longer safe for her to have Drago here now and losing that convenience angered her. Why couldn't she have any peace?
"Jim! What are you doing here?! Why did you cut yourself up?!" she cried, pulling on a robe and got out of bed. Then she saw the black magic book. He might have put an evil spell on her or Drago! No!
Maybe he was trying to unhex her while she slept? But with black magic? No! She definitely didn't want that! Maybe that was his plan all along, to hex her to be his willing slave or puppet. Who knew? This was really bad!
"Jim, how could you?! I told you to NOT fool around with this dark chi stuff!" she cried, pointing at the book. Jim groaned, hurting from his deep injuries.
"You're bleeding all over!" she cried, bending down to inspect him. Drago growled hatefully and found his boxers near his feet at the end of the bed. He put them on quickly and got up. He had enough of this idiot being near Jade.
"Get the h-ll out, you f-ing bastard!" he snarled, grabbing the man and tried picking him off the floor. But Jim's hate for Drago gave him the strength to momentarily ignore his pain to punch the teen away.
Drago punched back, causing Jim to fall backwards into the nearby wall. Realizing that his leg wasn't broken anymore, he took advantage of it and tackled Drago. They fell outside into the hallway and began to beat the snot out of each other pretty much brainlessly in a crazed rage.
Jade yelled at them to stop fighting, but they were too angry at each other to stop. Jim was furious that Drago found a way to reverse a spell that he didn't even know how to repeat and that he escaped the strong chains he put him in.
Drago was beyond full of rage and couldn't control it now. He had to beat the crap out of this idiot, he just had to! How DARE he, of all foolish weak humans, steal almost everything from him??
When Drago had a good tight choke-hold on Jim and the man was squeaking in peril, Jade took a flying jump at her fiancé to get him off Jim. Drago grew insanely upset that Jade had stopped him.
Without much rational thought, he leapt at her and knocked her down back into the bedroom where they slid to a stop after they ran into a bureau. He raised his fist which was covered in flames to strike her.
"WHAT ARE YOU HELPING HIM FOR?!" he roared, his dark side pointing out once more that this was a sign that she could and would betray him. Jade quickly kneed him in the groin and he recoiled in agony, falling off to the left.
"Drago! Calm down! Stop it!" she shouted at him, giving him a kick to the side. His tail wrapped around her leg and she fell hard. She glared back at him as he looked at her with a sneer.
"How the h-ll can I calm down?! You don't even know what just happened!! Or did you?" he snapped, his eyes shining with burning ire. Jade stared at him, miffed and confused.
"What happened? I just saw you choking Jim to death after I told you both to stop fighting! That's what just happened! Now, get your tail off of my leg! Sheesh!" she snapped back and pried at his tail.
He kept his distrustful glare for a few moments. Did she really not know that he and Jim had their minds switched into the wrong bodies? It appeared that she didn't, but she could be hiding the truth. He just wasn't sure yet.
He loosened his tail's grip on her. She irritably stood up. "What is with you? First you're all weirdly soft and gentle, then you're all crazy and vicious." she said, more to herself.
He began to lean more to that Jade most likely didn't know what happened to him with the mind-switching nonsense.
"Oh? I was weirdly gentle? What do you mean by that exactly?"
"You know, duh!" she said rudely. Then she lowered her voice. "When we made love tonight..." Drago turned away and squeezed his eyes shut in defeat and rage. It was true, that idiot Jim had even stolen THAT from him as well!
Jade went back to Jim and knew she had to get him some medical help fast. She rushed to get her cel phone and called for Missy to bring help. Then she went to get her First Aid kit and tried to help Jim sit upright.
"Don't move. Missy's coming with an ambulance to take you to Section 13's infirmaries." she said, reaching for some bandages in the kit when Drago appeared and kicked the kit down the hallway, creating a big mess.
"Drago!" Jade cried, narrowing her eyes at him. "What are you doing? Look at this mess! Clean it up and put that kit back here, now!" The teen grew hateful of her demanding ordering tone.
"Like h-ll I will! I want this maggot out of this house now!" he yelled, slamming his tail down on the floor. Jade glared at him. "He's going, but I have to help him not die, sheesh! Stop being such a jerk..." she said, getting up to get the kit back in order herself.
Drago watched her with stiff ire. "Idiot! You have no idea what this a-shole just pulled! He switched our minds so he could be in my body and f-ck with you!" he screamed, his fists trembling with rage.
Jade stared at him like he was insane. "Huh? That doesn't even make any sense!" she cried, not understanding. Her mind was too stressed out to concentrate on anything like that now anyway.
Jim needed medical attention immediately, that was more important. Suddenly, Drago went over to Jim and began to kick him mercilessly. Jade didn't have a chance to stop him.
"You disgusting stupid idiotic worm! How DARE you steal everything from me! You dirty f-cking a-shole!!!" he growled, causing Jim to writhe in pain. But then, Jim was able to give a weak smirk.
"...And I enjoyed every minute of it too..." he rasped out in a whisper, laughing to himself a little. This only enraged Drago more so. Instantly, he grabbed Jim and threw him down the stairs over the railing.
Jade was horrified to see Drago do this to Jim when he was in such bad shape. Jim would definitely squeal about Drake being Drago now and tell everyone at Section 13 how Jade let the scaly teen sleep in her bed in her house.
"Are you crazy?!" she shouted, then rushed down to Jim. Drago grit his teeth so tightly together that they hurt. Didn't she believe what he said? Wasn't she even listening?? ROAR!
Angrily, he left then. If Missy was coming then he wanted be to far away from her. She always overdid everything in an emergency and poked her nose in where it didn't belong.
Drago bet Missy was going to think he was the cause of Jim's new injuries. Although she was correct, Drago believed he had every right to nearly kill Jim again.
He couldn't wait for his clean clear chance to slice Jim wide open and let his empty skins hang from the trees. Then his problems with that maggot would be over at last.
But when would he get his chance? It started to seem to be an impossibility now with Jade watching out for that moron. She said she had to help him since she was his lifelong friend from childhood. So what!
'I should be her only focus in life, nobody else!' he thought angrily. 'Childhood friends? Big deal! I'm her lover, soon to be her husband, doesn't that mean anything more to her?'
Irritably, he made the long journey to the abandoned warehouses where he used to hide out at. After the SS bust, the area was once again empty and deserted.
The investigations for this place had concluded and the real base was hundreds miles away. Marlone's new operations were taking place in a different city, but the Tom wouldn't give up anymore info up than that.
He wouldn't say where or anything and he kept on saying he wanted to see his lawyer. Strangely, his lawyer never showed up so everything was a stand-still.
Every time the Tom did call someone, supposedly his lawyer, they found out he had warned Marlone to get out of town and move else where, but no one knew where since they spoke in an odd code that made zero sense. And the Tom wasn't translating.
Drago gave up caring on what was happening at Section 13 and thought of other things instead. Like killing humans again... Jade wouldn't find out and who could stop him anyway?
It's not like Captain Black or his flunkies could find him, much less catch and arrest him. He was his own dragon, he could do as he pleased just the same. So, he went to the nearby town where he used to eat people on a daily basis. Only the freshest and most innocent would do.
Finding such victims at a college campus was easy enough. He dressed himself as a handsome male, though not exactly looking like Drake for safety reasons, and went hunting. Two young ladies were getting into their car when he went over to them, asking for a ride.
If he could get them to drive to a remote area close to the warehouses, then he could kill them without Jade finding out easily. They would only be considered missing and he wasn't the only kidnapper out there in the city.
"Hey, could you give me a lift? My friend was supposed to pick me up, but he forgot and I lost my cel phone. I've got to get home and study asap or I'll flunk this course and I can't afford that. Can you help me out?" Drago asked, making sure his tone was attractive and his plight real.
"Oh, sure! Of course, where do you live? I can drop you off." the lady said with a smile. Her friend smiled too, beguiled by Drago's extremely handsome human looks.
"Why don't you come over to our place instead? Our apartment is roomy. You can study with us." she said, hoping he would accept. Drago grinned back. There wasn't a hint of drugs or alcohol on either of them. He preferred untainted meat...
"No, thanks. I just want to be dropped off at my place." he said, getting into the front seat. The first lady got into the driver's seat while her friend got into the back.
"Aw, ok. No problem. By the way, my name's Amy." the lady in the back seat said. "And she's Kitty." The lady in the driver's seat waved playfully. Drago nodded.
"I'm Rick." he said, purposely giving them a fake name. He was glad how trusting they were and he got Kitty to drive them to that remote area in the woods near the warehouses.
By that time, the girls began to realize that they were tricked and in trouble. He let his green scales show and they were spooked to death.
At first they thought they were going to be robbed and maybe raped, but not eaten by the infamous green monster! They thought he was killed or something since there were no more sightings from him. But they were wrong...
"You- you're that monster!" Amy squeaked, shocked. Kitty couldn't speak, she was frozen in horror. Drago laughed evilly, enjoying the fear in their eyes. It had been too long since he enjoyed this type of fun.
"What did you expect? I was only taking a short vacation, but I'm back now!" he said, growling with joy. The girls whimpered in fright, shaking. They were too scared to try to escape even. He rolled his eyes at them.
"Oh, come on! Make this interesting for me! At least try to run away." Drago said and after a few seconds, they bolted from their seats then. He casually exited the car and followed them. First he caught Kitty, snapping her neck easily.
He dragged her body with him as he purposely took his time hunting down Amy. He easily could hear and smell where she was, so there was no need for him to run after her.
Eventually, he found her at another road as she was trying to flag down cars to help her. Not wanting to be exposed and catch trouble from Jade, he snatched her from the road without being seen. He dragged her back into the woods, far away from the road. She screamed and cried, begging for her life.
Then she realized her friend Kitty was dead after seeing how her head dangled from an odd angle from her broken neck. She screamed even more in horrified hysteria. Drago slammed her against a tree and ordered her to shut up.
"D-mn! Just shut the f-ck up! You're going to die soon enough! There's nothing you can do about it, so SHUT UP!" he roared, raising a flaming claw ready to strike her.
He evilly grinned when she grew silent in terrible fear and he lowered his claw. Then she began to beg again.
"P-please! Don't kill me! My dad can't live without m-me! I'm all he has and he's disabled and he's ill, dying...! Please, spare me!" she whimpered.
Drago stared at her in disbelief. Meechi's father was sick and needed her to survive too. His human blood gave him a reason to let this girl be, but his demon blood shrieked at him to not get any weak ideas of letting her go.
This girl was in the same type of situation like his mother used to be. What an odd coincidence! He knew how much his mother loved his grandfather. He shouldn't take this girl away from her sick father...
"How strange..." Drago said, thinking out loud. "I know someone that is like you, where their father needs them..." The girl seemed surprised by his normal reply in an almost human-like voice.
"R-really?" she asked, confused and unsure of him. "S-so...will you let me go?" Amy couldn't wait to get away and call the police. Poor Kitty! She would never take life for granted again!
Since he said nothing and seemed to be ignoring her, she tried to run away as fast as she could. She yanked out her cel phone from her jeans pocket and punched in the numbers 9-1-1.
When an 911 operator answered, Amy frantically told her that the fire green monster killed her friend and was going to harm her as well.
"Send help, please! Get the cops out here, help me! No! No! He's chasing me now! HELP!" Amy shrieked, stumbling down and as she fell to her side, her cel phone flew out of her hand.
Drago was chasing her down to kill right then. His demon side was screaming at him to not let her get away whatsoever, so he tackled her as she fell. She let out a bloodcurdling scream as Drago ripped out her beating heart.
"Ma'am? Ma'am? Are you still there? Hello? Hello?" asked the operator in a monotone voice. Somewhat disturbed by Amy's shrieks of death, the operator sent out some police to investigate the forest area.
Enjoying the spray of fresh hot blood in his face, Drago devoured the girl quickly with much gusto. Then he tore Kitty's dead body open and feasted upon that meat as well.
He cleaned all the flesh and meat off the bones and burned the remains into ashes. He also torched anything that had any blood on it too, just in case.
'There. No more evidence.' he thought, smiling a bit. Being a cop had its advantages afterall. 'Maybe if I kidnap people sparingly, no one will think it's me since that's not my original pattern. I won't leave any scraps or anything behind too.'
He felt happier knowing he could go back to his old ways somewhat. It was better than going cold-turkey. He went back to the city to wander about until he was sure it was 'safe' to go back to Jade's house.
Suddenly he saw Ice walking down the street, thumbing a huge wad of bills. He hid it quickly when he saw his friend.
"Word up, D!" Ice said, raising his hand for a high-five. Drago gave it to him out of habit. Ice noticed the blood on his clothes then and he wondered about it.
"Geez, D! Where'd all that blood come from, dude?" he asked, a bit worried. It looked like he butchered a big fat pig or something large. Maybe it wasn't a pig... Maybe he killed someone again?
Ice was used to knowing that Drago was a vicious murderer, but he also knew that he, Ice, was more valuable to the teen alive then dead. But still, if Drago was ticked off enough, he'd just kill, kill, kill no matter what.
Since Ice didn't exactly have any means of protection against Drago, he had to be really careful. He could easily be next.
"No big deal, I just finished off some fresh meat." he replied, not wanting to explain more than that. He eyed him ominously. "What are you doing with all that cash? Rob some poor sucker?"
"You bet!" Ice said, proud to show off his criminal activities to one of American's Most Wanted. "Had to knock the dude's lights out, but d-mn! Was that motherf-cker loaded! I'm going to a party to stock up on drug supplies. The guy there is a big time drug dealer. Wanna come?"
Drago shrugged. "Whatever. I can't see why you humans enjoy eating poison. Getting high like that makes you idiotic fools of sh-t. H-ll, you won't catch me getting all stupid like that."
The two teens walked down the street to the party Ice mentioned. "Aw, come on, D! Don't tells me ya never got high on drugs! Never been drunk too, huh?"
"You can shove it up your a-s. I'm from a higher class of life, duh!" Drago scowled, scratching his chin. Ice laughed at him in annoying manner.
"Heh-heh haha! You sound just like Chan saying 'duh' like that, D!" Ice commented. "Hey, where's yer chick anyhow? Every time I sees ya, yous are always together. So what's the deal tonight?"
Drago growled irritably, then sighed hard. He didn't want to be reminded about what happened to him hours earlier.
"She's helping that stupid sh-tty co-worker of her's at work. F-cking bastard put some whack spell on me and switched our minds into the wrong bodies. I was able to reverse the spell, but d-mn!" He paused, clenching his teeth and trembling fists tightly.
"What happened then, D?" Ice asked, curious. Drago took a moment to punch the brick wall they were passing by down an alley. Ice was taken back by the force of his fearsome blow. The damage to the wall was disturbing.
"He used my body to screw with her! He's trying to steal everything from me now... I tried to kill him tonight, but Jade protected him. I don't give a d-mn if he's her friend, I want him f-ing dead!" Drago snarled, lashing his tail about like an irate feline.
"I feel ya, D. Want me and the boys to put the hurt on the guy? I can get Liter and his gang to help out too. Maybe this guy needs ALL his limbs broke this time around..." Ice put his hand on his shoulder. "Whatta'ya say, D?"
"No, he knows ok enough black magic to stop you. I have to deal with him only, but without Jade around." Drago said, eyes narrowed.
Ice was almost going to ask for dragon power enhancements so he could get the job done, but decided against asking out right for them. He didn't want to get Drago any more mad than he already was.
If he got any angrier, he might go into kill mode again. He wondered who he dissected, but then again, he didn't want to find out either.
Whoever was at the receiving end of Drago's claws were always unlucky saps. It was just too scary to think about. No way did Ice ever want to know what it was like to get butchered by him.
"Too bad you don't have all those wicked cool demon chi powers now, yo." Ice said, thinking if he hinted on this subject, he could inadvertently ask for some dragon powers.
"Well, I don't." Drago snapped back, irritable. Then he widened his eyes as he got an idea. "Wait, you said you were from the past and you have gone to the places where the demon chi artifacts were at, right?"
Ice nodded. "Yeah, so?" Drago hissed at him. "You idiot! That means you already know where some of they are! So tell me. Where are they?"
The smaller teen had to think hard with his drug and alcohol damaged brain. "Uhh, I, er, we went to... Well, first I think we to a flower shop in San Diego for the Earth, then a zoo for Moon. Umm..."
"San Diego, huh? Amazing that some are here in the state." Drago commented and waited for Ice to go on, but the dumb kid didn't.
"Well?! Where else?" Drago shouted, aggravated.
"Oh! Right, yeah, let me think..." Ice hemmed and hawed for a while. Drago put his claw to his face in disgust, shaking his head.
"I don't think your thinking is ever going to help either of us." he groaned, feeling a bit nauseated by all this. Ice wasn't exactly real smart, you know.
"Ok, ok. Nah wait, uhh...umm... Ok, here's the deal, yo. There was a time you didn't want to go to the Arctic for the Thunder chi, you actually got to keep that one for a while and we almost took over the Space Needle in Washington. That was cool while it lasted until the Chans busted us. Lemme see, there was an island you went to by yourself you told us before, the Water chi at that place... Umm..." Ice thought some more, the silence wearing on Drago's patience.
"And?"
"Oh yeah! Quebec had the Mountain chi and umm... Oh! You told us when the dudes Fin, Chow, and Ratso screwed up a job getting the Wind chi from a car wash somewhere close to Chan's school when she was a kid. Err, umm... And you told us that the Sky chi was from a merry-go-around in Australia. That's it, yo."
Drago shook his head again, acting as if he had a bad headache. "I can't believe you actually remembered what you did." he said, thinking over the information he just heard. Those were a lot of places to visit, but which one should he go to first?
The closest powers were Earth, Moon, and Wind, but he wanted all eight of them right now. Plus, those locations for those artifacts were found in the past. Who knew if they were moved or destroyed by now?
It was worth a try to see if they were indeed still in their old locations, so Drago decided to try and find the closest powers first before going across the country. He figured he'd take a trip to San Diego first and take Jade along so she wouldn't be all alone with that moron Jim.
He had to be more careful than ever with her now. Jim was getting way too close to her even though he knew Jade was Drago's fiancée.
He could easily get Jade to take a vacation in San Diego by telling her they could have a fun 'survival' camping trip deep in the woods. She always liked crazy things like that.
"So, D..." Ice said. "When you get these powers, you'll share, right? I mean, I really had to remember hard and junk." The scaly teen rolled his eyes.
"Maybe, maybe not. Quit asking, ok? It's getting on my nerves..." he growled. Ice put his hands up defensively. "Hold up, chief! Can't blame me for asking. No harm in that, right?" The boys were at the party's entrance deep in an alleyway.
"As long as you don't bug me too much. I'm going to pass on this party. I've got to check up on Jade." Drago said, walking away. Ice waved his arm up.
"Yo! If ya can'ts find her, let me know! I'll be here at Liter's all night!"
Drago put a claw up to signal that he understood. He went back to Jade's house to find the lights out as if nobody was home or Jade was sleeping. The fiery teen severely hoped it was the latter, for Jade's sake...
He went back into the house and was partially startled when he heard Jade's voice come from the couch. He was almost sure she would have stayed by Jim's side all night, not be home waiting for him.
"Drago?" she called sleepily. "Is that you?" He didn't want her to see his bloody clothes, otherwise she might figure out what he was doing earlier.
"Yeah, it's me. Just go back to sleep." he said, pulling his shirt off.
"Where'd you go? I was worried about you." Jade said, trying to get up. The room was pretty dark, so she couldn't see the dried blood on his clothes.
"I'll tell you later. Go back to sleep." he replied, going upstairs. He planned to burn his bloody clothes to ashes and flush them. He never had much luck removing this much blood from his clothes anyway, so they were pretty much ruined. He had plenty of clothes besides.
Drago got rid of his clothes, showered, and then went back downstairs to Jade. She was waiting for him, dozing. "Hey." she purred, smiling as he stroked her face lovingly. He was very pleased that she stayed home for him instead of being by Jim's side throughout the night.
"Hey, yourself." he purred back with a gentle grin. She let him get in the couch with her and she snuggled up against him. "So..." she said, her back to his chest with his arms around her. "Where'd you go?"
She was really grateful that he wasn't explosively angry anymore and wanted it to stay that way. She feared she didn't have any means of control over him whenever he got that mad.
And he could easily kill again like before, which she didn't want. Captain Black would have Drago taken away for good if he killed off Jim or anyone else.
Jade decided to make sure that Jim and Drago were never on the same hours at work to avoid any more confrontations. She couldn't afford having them go berserk at work, no way.
"I wandered around the city until those nosy Section 13 flunkies left." he answered, kissing and caressing affectionately. She turned around so she could kiss him back. After several moments of kissing passionately, Jade rested her head under his chin.
"Drago... I remember what you said about Jim putting a spell on you so that your minds were switched into the wrong bodies..." she said softly, rubbing her fingers over his soft, yet tough scales.
"Oh? You're finally acknowledging this now, huh?" he replied, cockily. She shoved him for his rudeness, but he didn't move much from her push.
"Jerk! Just listen! I wanted to tell you that I believe you. And...I'm thinking that you're right about Jim... Maybe he can't be helped and he's too weird to be around. He'll try anything to get me with all that black magic he's learned now. I'm going to stay away from him... I mean, he's really creepy! Using your body so he can have sex with me, ew...! That's sick!" she said, upping many notches of his trust for her.
"Well, duh!" he said, glad that she finally realized the truth at all. Then he softened his gaze. "Jade..." he purred sweetly, nuzzling her joyfully. He kissed her hard and passionately then embraced her tightly.
"I'm glad you're finally going to stay away from that moron. I really needed that reassurance." he said, smiling fondly.
"Of course!" Jade replied graciously, pleased that she made him this happy. "Anything for my Sweetie Gecko-butt!" Drago laughed, tickling her sides.
"What did I tell you about calling me a gecko? Huh? Bad Jade, bad!" Drago teased, playfully wrestling her to the floor while she fought back his tickling clawed fingers, giggling.
"Stop it, you jerk! Hahaa! Knock it off, you freakin' gecko-butt!" she cried, breaking free and taking a stance. Drago crouched down, growling in play, then pounced, pushing her onto her back on the carpet.
He covered her with fond kisses and tickles, enjoying her again. Jade shrieked with delight, laughing so hard she cried. She absolutely loved this. Drago was being so fun and playful, she really cherished times like this with him. It made everything else, her troubles and problems because of him, worthwhile.
She just wished she could get others to see the love and joy she shared with Drago, but that seemed to be an impossibility. And losing Jim, that was hard on her. But he did cross a crucial line and she just couldn't deal with him anymore.
She couldn't believe that he would go that far as to steal someone else's body, a person she trusted and loved, so he could be with her and more.
Jade shuddered to think that Jim actually used Drago's body to have her give him, Jim, sex willingly. That was just too horrible to phantom even! But he actually did it for real! He truly was sick, really really sick!
And talk about living and enjoying a lie! He was too scary, too crazy, and just too far gone to be trusted. There was nothing she could do to help him anymore. Jade was done with Jim and believed she lost a good best friend forever. He was only a stalker to her now...
