J2: The Deception
Drago started his work week hunting leads on where Marlone could be hiding out at. He wasn't in his human disguise, but that did not seem to matter.
Many thought he had tons of plastic surgery to look reptilian, as a fashion statement or that he was in costume. Drago went place to place pretending he was looking to be Marlone's new hit man or bodyguard.
He acted as if he badly wanted an interview with Marlone. He ran into trouble with some disrespectful touchy humans and he had to beat the tar out of them.
To add to his irritation, it seemed like hardly anyone remembered 'the Green Beast of San Fran'! Either they chose to ignore his existence or that the news of his serial killings were forgotten since he had taken a break from murdering people.
The humans did not fear him like they used to... Maybe they thought Drago was dead or had left the area. And that they were safe again. He had to grit his teeth at that one. How utterly annoying!
With his evil reputation smoothing out to nothing, Drago was more touchy than usual. After his second day of fruitless searching for Marlone, he checked in on Jade. It was very late and she had already gone to bed.
Tired and feeling downhearted, he got into bed with her. She woke a bit due to his movements and seemed to be pleased to see him there.
"Hey." she said sleepily. He grunted a response, taking her into his arms as if she was a teddy bear. He held her close and practically squeezed her like one.
It wasn't hard enough to hurt her...much. She knew something was bothering him whenever he 'crushed' her like that.
"What's wrong?" she asked, getting worried. He sighed irritably.
"My reputation is f-cked up, that's all." he grumbled, frowning. She began to wake up more and turned on a lamp. She saw the upset expression on his scowling face.
"What do you mean?"
"It's all your fault, Jade."
"My fault? For what? What in the world are you talking about, Drago?" she asked, getting annoyed. What was he accusing her of now? He let out an exasperated groan of disgust.
"I'm talking about my reputation! You know! My serial killer rep? No one even remembers how dangerous I am! No one fears me! They treat me like every other human, like I'm not a threat! Do you know how agitating that is?" he shouted meanly.
He got out of her bed, his growing anger fueling him to feel less tired suddenly. He stood at the side of her bed, glaring down and growling at her.
"You want people to be afraid of you?" Jade asked, staring at him like he was crazy. Why did he want something like that for? That alone made her recall all her bad memories with him. Memories she wished she never had of him.
"Why do you want that? So people will think you're tough? A big shot? That's stupid!" Jade shot back at him, getting angry and upset herself.
Since he looked like he was going to do something unspeakable to her out of explosive rage, she hurried to think of a calming reply. She accidentally helped boil his anger more due to her own shaken emotions.
She knew she had better say something fast to cool him down quickly before he flipped out on her. She knew his temper and she seen it plenty of times before. She knew what he was capable of.
"You're already tough, Drago. You're the most toughest man I've ever met in my life. You don't need worry about what street people say." she said, reaching out to him. He turned away roughly, lashing his tail.
"Don't you dare call me a 'man'... I'm not one..." he snarled, offended to be called a human once more. Well, sorta. He felt as if he was being insulted all over again.
Jade got out of bed and went to him. She hugged him from behind, leaning her head against his back with her hands on his chest. His demon side wanted to throw her off, but he just couldn't.
'She's trying to make you weak again! Softening you up with lies of love! Do you want to stay weak? Get her off now!' he thought, then his humanity disputed immediately. 'How can I push her away? I love her...'
"You're half, Drago. You know there's a real human man in here." she said, hugging him tighter. A deep hateful growl worried her.
"Always have to remind me of my weakness, don't you?" he hissed testily in a low scary tone. She let go and moved in front of him.
"Being human isn't a weakness, Drago! That's what makes you strong! That's how you are able to love me! Because you have compassion! Because you are human! You are powerful!" she cried, hoping to get these facts into his head.
Pulverizing the urge to smack her down to the floor, he forcefully kept his trembling claws at his sides. He had a hard time accepting all that. His demon blood shrieked at him not to.
How could he take down his father with human skills? That would never work! He could only crush his evil parent down with demon skills. He believed that Jade was only ruining his demon skills by awaking his human side and making it flourish.
Well, his demon side had just about enough of this garbage... This human brainwashing garbage!
"I want people to fear me." Drago spoke in a low hateful tone and continued on. "I want you humans to scream in agony as I kill you all slowly in the most painful of ways."
"I want to drink your blood and feast upon your flesh as I burn you alive! I want to be who I really am and I DON'T want to be a weak d-mn human, DO YOU HEAR ME?" he roared in his full demon voice.
Jade's hand flew out and slapped his face hard. She cried out in shock as she held her throbbing hand. Sheesh, she wished she had held back her hand now. It felt like it was going numb.
"Stop it, Drago! Please!" Jade cried, disturbed and afraid. She really REALLY hoped Uncle could get that removal spell soon, it was obvious that the evilness in those wings were making Drago steadily worse.
He was talking just like his old self there! It was really bothersome to hear her beloved gecko-butt talk about hurting and eating people alive while he killed them.
She watched his expressions turn from murderous to restrained hostility. He squeezed his eyes shut and sighed out thick smoke, something that usually happened when he had to extinguish fire he almost brought up from his throat.
"Just calm down." Jade said, taking his left claw and pulling him towards the bed. She was pretty sure he was relenting there. She hoped to cheer him up otherwise there would be no living with him until he was in a better mood.
"Maybe some sleep will help. Come on." Jade was feeling optimistic when he obeyed and returned to bed with her. She knew silence and actions sometimes helped her in sticky situations like this with Drago, so she snuggled up against him.
She gave him enough body language to let him know that she wanted him to take her, which he did without too many reminders. Jade felt a bit shallow using sex as a pacifier for her gecko-butt, but it seemed to work out fine.
Drago did value having Jade to be this willing, it was his goal in the beginning. Before she was so against having any intimate relations with him. But now, she wanted to be close to him and enjoyed being touched by him.
If only he could get her that way with his evilness, where she would actually go out and help him murder the innocent. But he could tell that was a fruitless dream. She would never appease him that way. She was just too much of a goodie-goodie.
The third day of searching the bad side of the city yielded no results. He didn't bother visiting Jade that day since he was in such a rotten mood. He knew if he did go see her, they would only argue and he didn't want that.
So instead he killed some drug dealer off a secluded street corner. That murder scared some potential teen buyers close by. After tearing the drug dealer in half, he chased down and caught three of the five fleeing teens.
By smelling one, he knew this teen's meat wasn't fit to eat. He hated the poisons they damaged their bodies with, such a waste! He easily wounded the three young people from fleeing further and worked on one at a time.
He decapitated the first teen by literally pushing his skull off the base of his spine. The screams heard filled Drago with long yearned for excitement.
The other two were desperate to get away, but Drago snapped off a low hanging tree branch and used it as a weight to hold down one as he pounced on the other.
To his surprise, this other boy wasn't giving off the 'druggy' scent like the first one. The teen begged for his life, but he might as well been talking to a wall.
Drago wasted no time eating the kid alive, especially after he heard this boy ramble on about this was his first time trying out illegal drugs with his friends, but never got to and he had a loving family, blah blah.
"F-cking sh-t!"
Drago looked up when he saw Ice, Cobra, and Fist not far off inspecting the bloody remains of the drug dealer. It was dark, but there was enough moonlight for them to see Drago down the street a several feet away.
Although Cobra didn't hang out with Ice and Fist that much anymore, he did that night since he had a bad fight with Rose where they almost broke up with each other. They weren't speaking to each other anymore now.
Cobra planned on drowning his hurt feelings with some hardcore partying at Liter's place. But as he and his buddies looked down at Liter's bloody torn remains, they knew that there wouldn't be any parties by Liter that or any night ever again.
Ice couldn't believe Liter was dead! He was one of the best sources for cocaine and wild adulterated all-night parties. Drago ignored them, hoping they'd go away so he could finally eat some fresh human meat.
He really wanted this, no needed this type of sustenance. It had been so long since he had last cannibalized...
Ice and the gang went over to the teen girl under the tree branch and they tried to free her as she begged for assistance.
In a vicious tirade, Drago charged at them, roaring and hissing demonically. The girl screamed in fright and begged not to be killed, whimpering loudly.
"Don't let her get away, you idiots! I had a h-ll of a time trying to catch her! Get the f-ck out of here!" he yelled, short bursts of flames flashing from his jaws.
The fiery teen's gang buddies were taken back by his outrageous hostility and the amount of blood on him. Cobra was the first to speak out.
"Dude, you totally butchered Liter!"
"D-mn, why'd you have to slice up Liter, Dee?" Ice asked, pointing to Liter's dead remains at the corner. "He knew where to get the best parties started, yo." Ice said, not happy. He wanted to party at Liter's now he couldn't!
"Yeah, why Liter, man? He was cool." Cobra added. Drago growled hatefully, his scales raising from his neck.
"Like I knew who the h-ll he was! And I could care less! I had to kill again, ok! Just f-ck the h-ll off!"
"Sheesh, Dee, what's your problem?" Ice grumbled then regretting it when Drago picked him up by the front of his shirt.
"My problem is that you humans are still breathing!" he yelled, then dropped him. "It's been a b-tch trying to find that as-hole, Marlone. That's all! And you idiots are bothering me when I'm trying to eat!"
They could easily see the bloody mess of some guy a few feet away. They were appalled and frightened.
"Ew! That's nasty." Ice said, afraid for his life. But he had to play it cool just the same. Drago was in an incredibly bad mood, the worst Ice had ever seen. He didn't want to be lunchmeat, so he kept his mouth from flapping out more of his opinions.
Cobra frowned, not accepting this although he was afraid too. How could someone sweet like Meechi have a real evil RUDE jerk for a son?
The teen girl under the tree branch sobbed and cried. She was whining for mercy and help from Ice and his friends. Drago reached down and grabbed her by the throat, causing her to scream.
Cobra saw this like Meechi getting attacked by some mugger since the teen girl's screaming sounded something like Meechi's and he automatically got defensive.
He kicked Drago's arm hard enough to get his attention. Instantly he was slammed to the ground with Drago on top of him with his forearm crushing Cobra's throat, pushing his head up hard against the asphalt.
Ice tried to calm the fiery teen by downplaying what Cobra did, but he was too much of a coward to get physical to help Cobra. Not like anything he could do would really help him, but still, he didn't even try.
"BACK OFF!" Drago roared in his face. Cobra was too afraid to fight back anymore and knew how easily Drago could pull people's heads off, so he apologized like crazy.
"Ok! Ok! I will! I'm sorry!" he cried, choking and Drago got off him. The teen girl's leg was broken when Drago first caught her, so she couldn't escape on her own. She begged not to be killed as Drago approached her again.
"Can't you just let her go? I mean, you scared the sh-t out of her already. Just forget it, man." Cobra said, getting up.
He was trying his luck here by saying all that, but he didn't want to see that girl get butchered. He rubbed his throat. Sheesh! What a jerk!
"I can't see how your woman's going to accept all this, yo. She totally tried to cuff us for hot-wiring. I doubt she'd let you get away with all this killing." Ice said, pretty miffed that Drago had killed off Liter. The fiery teen glared at him dangerously.
"What are you going to do? Tell on me? After I helped you get away with stealing cars? Just remember, I don't suffer traitors well..." Drago threatened, holding onto the teen girl's arm who was silent finally. She was starting to believe her life was over and those other guys couldn't help her.
"Hey, you're the one who killed Liter! That dude had what we needed to have a good time! He was the best and now he's gone!" Ice yelled, waving his fist.
"Oh boo-hoo!" Drago mocked them by pretending to wipe his eyes for tears. "Get your d-mn highs from someone else then! That Liter as-hole wasn't the only idiot you can get drugs from!"
Drago paused and looked at Cobra. "You want this trash? Fine! Take her with you!"
Before he released the girl, Drago warned her viciously that he would kill her and her family if she told anyone in law enforcement about any of this. He nearly squeezed her arm off as he threatened her in a serious malicious tone.
He decided to let this one go since he realized she could help revive his dying evil reputation. After seeing her life flash before her eyes, she most likely now knew how dangerous Drago was. He pushed her forward hard and she stumbled to the ground, crying out from her broken leg injuries.
"Instead of b-tching at me, why don't you idiots spread the word that I'm back on the streets? If I'm not respected right and proper, Chubby there's going to pay!" Drago hissed, pointing at the teen girl, whose name was Helen.
She was a bit overweight and was frightened to death to hear she would be killed even if she didn't squeal to the cops should the people around here not respect Drago.
She vowed to spread his warning to keep her life 'safe' and begged Ice and his friends to do the same.
Drago smiled evilly. That was more like it! Finally things were getting back to normal, well normal for his evil side. Ice and his friends helped Helen to safety, leaving Drago to finish his 'meal'.
On the fourth day searching for Marlone, Drago got into some fights at a strip club and got thrown out with the men he was fighting with. He enjoyed nearly killing them, but he would hold off murdering again. For now at least.
He really didn't need any investigations done on him when he was trying to do some of his own. Of course, he was practically inviting such the night before.
He was so much in a bad mood that he didn't care if he was noticed by the authorities that night. He just had to kill humans again to ease his boiling rage.
With all the current issues he had with Jade and not being able to find clues on where Marlone was, all those problems were wearing on his nerves badly.
A new worry came to him. What if she tried to take his fire demon chi away too? It was possible! That was what caused him to be so upset and crabby the night before when he killed Liter and the others.
Later on that same night of prowling the local pubs and strip clubs, he was told that Marlone was hiding within the city. But the crime lord had gone underground.
Not even his clients knew where he was and plenty of them wanted him found so they could either get their money back or their goods they paid for. He was able to get this info at last since Helen and Ice must have warned everyone about Drago's wrath. Good!
When he asked people this day for information, he finally got results and fast. People appeared to be wary of him again and some were downright afraid. Drago's rotten bad mood lightened to pleased contentment.
The fiery teen made himself more scarce around Jade ever since he heard her trying to find a spell to take away his Sky demon chi. He checked in on her often, but didn't hang around long in fear she would suddenly zap him with a removal spell.
He snorted irritably as he walked through a long quiet alleyway after 'sniffing' for more clues at another tavern. She kept on saying it was for his own good.
No it wasn't! He'd never agree to losing that chi or any of the others he would get, and especially NOT his Fire demon chi.
This had to be the betrayal his older self had warned him about. It just had to be! He dared not think about if it wasn't and maybe Jade was going to betray him on a larger scale in some different way.
He would have a hard time controlling his rage then if she had a bigger betrayal in store for him. He worried that he might have to fight her like he did back when he didn't know or love her.
The dragon-demon child of Shendu was deathly afraid of losing his beloved Jade for any reason. He thought hard on how to make amends with Jade, yet still get and keep the other demon chi even though she was against him obtaining them.
The lovers only enjoyed sex with each other whenever he visited her now. He liked that well enough, but Jade did show him signs that she wanted him to go out with her to restaurants, amusement parks, and movie theaters once more like before.
He wished he could allow such, but those could be ploys to trap him and take his demon chi away. He would have to wait and see how things went before he went back to staying with Jade for months on end.
He wondered how to get her to forget about removing his demon chi. He could do a trade and offer the Talismen in exchange for her not to take his demon chi powers.
That might work, but she could still take the demon chi away anyway too. Humans were known to be backstabbers. They just couldn't be trusted!
He had to figure out something. He wanted to be with her, but it was too risky to do so now. He wished he knew how to correct this stupid new problem he had with her.
Especially before Jim had a chance to muscle his way into this faltering point of their relationship and take Jade away somehow. Losing Jade like that would absolutely kill him.
Lost in deep thought, he didn't notice at first that two humans following were him. But he did a split-second later. Turning around, he confronted them. What did these stupid humans want?
"Hey there, buddy. We heard you were looking for a job..." a man named Terry said, pausing before adding. "With the STN Export Corporation..."
Terry had overheard Drago's questioning at the tavern and he was a special recruiting general for Marlone's operations. He thought he had found a good new hit man for their business.
Afterall the last one Terry hired, Red Snake, was getting a bit too chummy with the FBI to get out of jail time and he was muscling in on Marlone's territory for the drugs and weapons market. So, they needed a new hit man to replace and silence the old one.
"Yeah, I am. So, what do I have to do to get an interview with your boss?" Drago asked, watching the humans carefully just in case they tried anything funny. They would be very dead humans if they did any fast ones on the son of Shendu.
"First off, tell us what you can do, then maybe you can see the boss. If you pass that is. I mean, I've heard what you can do, I just want to see it." Terry said, crossing his arms. The other man with him also did the same, looking quite mean. He was something like a clone of Hak Foo, but with short brown hair.
"Well... If you heard right, you know I can kill people left and right with ease. Want a demonstration?"
In the next second Drago grabbed the Hak Foo clone by the front of his tank top and flung him halfway down the alley into the side of a metal dumpster at least six feet away.
The big guy had some trouble getting up from that quick attack and this all impressed Terry. He started to believe what he had heard.
At first, he thought they were untrue rumors just to beef up some lizard-skinned guy's reputation. But the rumors weren't lies at all. He was truly strong afterall. He stuck out his hand.
"Awesome sh-t, man. You pass." he said, grinning. This guy looked just right to bump off Red Snake and he could take that traitor's place nicely.
"I'm Terry and that's Butch." Terry pointed to himself first and then his partner, who was trying to get back to where Drago and Terry stood.
"I'm Drago." the fiery teen replied. Terry nodded. "Yeah, I know that. After all the rumors floating around, I think almost everybody knows your name."
Drago thought maybe Butch would be piping hot mad that he tossed him like a feather, but the big guy grinned instead. It looked like he was just as impressed as Terry.
It annoyed him that they were not afraid of him though. Oh well, at least he was being remembered now. The fear would come later once he started killing again.
Butch was some extra muscle for the STN Export Corporation and Terry often viewed him as his bodyguard, plus his good friend. At first Butch thought Drago was just some rich kid with fancy plastic surgery and that he wasn't really all that strong or murderous like the rumors had said.
After all, Drago was said to be only a teenager. There was no way some young kid could be stronger than Butch! But he was and Butch was really pleasantly surprised. He wanted to discover a new hit man to get rid of Red Snake for good. Why?
Red Snake had kidnapped Butch's little sister, Kimmy. Although RS got the ransom money from Butch's family, he killed Kimmy anyway.
Red Snake mutilated her vaginal area with a knife, and sent detailed color photos to Butch and his family members. Butch was confident that Drago could get revenge for Butch's family. It was clear that Drago was definitely strong enough to beat RS.
"D-mn, man! Where'd you get an arm to throw like that, Kid?" Butch asked, also happy to have found this guy.
"A lot of baseball." Drago mocked and looked to Terry. "So, where's my exclusive interview with the big cheese himself?"
Terry snapped his fingers and Butch went down the other side of the alley. In a few moments, he had a car waiting for them. Terry and Drago got into this car and Butch drove them away somewhere.
The fiery teen couldn't wait to show his scales in front of Marlone and then gain his trust, kill some people for fun, and lastly, arrest his sorry rump after he found out where those underage girls were being kept.
While the men traveled for an hour, Terry chatted with Drago. "Butch and I saw you days before asking around for a job with Marlone. We first thought you were an undercover cop, but there's no way a cop would risk his job over almost killing off some drunks and as-holes." he said, admitting that they were watching him before.
They were pretty sure he wasn't a cop, especially after hearing the rumors and more so now finding out that those rumors were indeed very true. They had seen how well he roughed up some drunks outside the strip club, but still those were just drunks.
Terry had to see the teen in action against Butch to be convinced of his strength. If you could throw Butch and all six hundred and twelve pounds of him, you could throw anyone. Many had called Butch 'Goliath' at times since he was six feet and eleven inches tall.
"We liked how you fight and when I saw you toss Butch back there, I knew you were as strong as the rumors say." Terry said. Butch spoke up then.
"Yeah, Kid. I'm over 600 pounds and nearly seven feet tall. I'm known as the Giant or 'Goliath'. Ever hear of that guy, Kid?" Butch asked. Drago nodded. Shendu had told him of many famous and infamous humans from the past. His father would know since he was there from day one.
"Yes, my father told me about him. He said he was half demon and half human." Drago said, grinning. Ah, there was someone like him there!
A true nephilim warrior. Drago found it annoying that a small human boy killed that giant and cut his head off. He sure wouldn't let anyone do that to him!
"Yeah, that's right. What do you call those guys? Neph-something?" Butch asked, watching the road.
"Nephilim." Drago answered, not letting them know he was one himself. He might tell them later maybe.
"How do those things get started anyway?" Butch asked, beeping the horn at someone who cut him off. "D-mn motherf-cker! Who taught you how to drive?" he swore in irritation.
"Well, a demon f-cks a human woman and she gives birth to the best warrior known to the world." Drago proudly said. Terry stared at him and began laughing with Butch.
"No, no, Kid! I meant the stories. Not how those Nephy-whatevers came about." Butch said, laughing loudly. Drago felt annoyed. Before he could reply, Terry said something first.
"I can really tell you'll be perfect for the job." he said, patting the fiery teen's shoulder.
"And what job may that be?" Drago asked, hoping like crazy it would be a hit man. Getting paid to kill people was like the best idea ever thought up! Terry felt a big fat bonus check was going to be in his pocket soon once he got this guy to Marlone.
"Well, we have this hit man named Red Snake, but he's been getting a bit too..." Terry was cut off when Butch replied the rest for him.
"Too friendly with the cops." Butch said. Terry nodded. "Yeah and that he's trying to steal our best customers. We have to sell for a profit, but RS is selling OUR goods wholesale behind our backs and pocketing the cash for himself."
"And you want me to rip his spine out, right?" Drago asked, grinning. Terry blinked a bit, taken back by that, but he smiled back.
"Yeah, that's it! Though, you can just blow his brains out with one of our specialty items." Terry said, hinting that shooting the guy would be good enough. But it wasn't to Butch.
"H-ll, no! Let the Kid tear his spine out! He deserves it after what he did to my little sister! Dude, be sure you make him suffer like h-ll, ok?" Butch asked, driving roughly due to his agitation.
"RS kidnapped his sister and-" Terry got cut off again as Butch flared up and expressed his anger. "He cut her open like a d-mn fish even though we paid the ransom! He sent us pictures of what he had done to her and I'm d-mn sure he raped her too!"
"How old was she?" Drago asked, curious. Butch growled angrily as he turned left at an intersection.
"She was only thirteen! What makes me so d-mn mad is that we paid that as-hole two hundred thousand in cash and he still killed her! He's a f-cking d-mn as-hole! I wish he'd rot in Hell forever!"
"Whoa, calm down, Butch!" Terry warned him as they narrowly missed hitting another car. "You'll get your revenge for your little sis soon enough. I have faith in Drago. I doubt RS can crush him like a bug like he's done to the other guys we've sent after him."
"RS's cyborg parts won't save him this time." Butch muttered hatefully under his breath as he took a remote sitting on the dashboard and pushed a button. They were driving through a large deserted alley then.
A hidden car-sized door opened up and Butch drove the car into a secret warehouse. The door was painted to look like the brick wall so someone from the outside wouldn't notice it was even there.
They got out of the car and Drago saw that the inside of this warehouse was insanely huge. It had to have at least ten floors to it. They seemed to have a bunch of stolen cars being worked on at the far northern corner of the place.
Terry and Butch led Drago upstairs until they were at the third floor. Inside was the notorious Marlone and some sexy blonde woman talking to him. They stopped talking as soon as Terry walked in, followed by Butch then Drago.
"Hey Boss! We found the perfect guy to knock off Red Snake!" Terry proudly announced. Marlone was so anxious to find someone who could get rid of RS that left his comfortable imported leather chair to personally shake hands with Drago.
"I certainly hope so!" he said, then cried out in fright when he saw the fiery teen.
"Ack! It's the fire beast again!" he shrieked and hid behind his desk in a hurry. He popped his head up a moment later, pointing a gun.
"You won't burn down this building this time, you animal!" he yelled, firing the weapon twice. The bullets flew off Drago's dragon armor and made two ugly holes in Marlone's expensive imported wallpapered walls. The teen growled meanly.
Terry and Butch were surprised to see that Drago was bullet-proof. This was just getting better and better! Except for the part where their boss didn't like Drago.
"But Boss! Drago's the guy we've been looking for to take down Red Snake!" Terry interjected, trying to calm his boss. Butch put his hand on Drago's shoulder.
"Give the Kid a chance, Mike. He's cool. He wants to help us!" Butch said, not wanting his boss to reject the teen. He was sure he'd be able to get that revenge he so desperately wanted to have.
"We can't get anyone else to knock off RS, Boss. I am sure Drago can do the job. He'd sure make a great addition to the corporation besides." Terry pleaded, really wanting to get that bonus commission check.
Marlone thought it over a while, then shakily accepted having Drago on their 'team'. He had seen what Drago could do and once RS saw it too, he would wise up in a hurry. Marlone begrudgingly agreed to adding Drago to the workforce, knowing he could use him well against his enemies.
"Erm, alright. As long as he doesn't try to kill me or burn down my stuff again, I'll hire him." Marlone said, then pointed a finger at Terry.
"But I'm holding you and Butch responsible if he gets out of hand. Got that?"
"Crystal." Terry said. "Now when will I get my bonus for this?" Marlone glared. "When Red Snake is six feet under, that's when! Where are the reports for my latest shipments by the way?"
Terry told him he had to get the paperwork from the car downstairs and would be back shortly. Butch went ahead and introduced Drago to Marlone on a less distrusting scale.
"I trust Terry and Butch filled you in already, right?" Marlone asked. Drago nodded, grinning. "They sure did. You want this Red Snake guy dead, I'll have it done yesterday." he said, making a point.
"Perfect. But first, let's see if you can bring him to me here. I have a few words to exchange with that traitor, then you can kill him off here. No need for the cops to find his carcass on the outside. We'll keep everything nice and quiet, right here." Marlone said, feeling that his problems with RS would soon be all over with.
"Sure thing. Though my services don't come cheap." Drago said, lashing his tail with great excitement. Now this was what he liked. To be paid to do what he loved to do and that was to kill, kill, kill!
"Name your price, kid. Any fee is worth paying to get rid of that 'chatterbox-to-cops' Red Snake." Marlone said, going back to his chair. "But still...there's one small problem."
"Yeah and what's that?" Drago asked, not liking how Marlone waved to Butch, signaling him leave the room to wait downstairs for further orders.
"Well, last time we met, you were helping one of my enemies, Chan. You burned down one of my headquarters, killed my men, and cost me hundreds of thousands in damages. And I heard rumors that you were the one who helped get my general the Tom arrested!" Marlone said, showing his distrust and malice for the fiery teen.
"I wasn't helping Chan. I was just doing what I do best and that is to kill. And you heard wrong. An agent from Section 13 took in your precious cat-man general. Why in the h-ll would I help an organization that wants to put me in the gas chamber?" Drago replied darkly.
Marlone thought it over. Drago did have a point there. Maybe he could be trusted...
"Do you want me to get rid of that RS guy or not?" Drago said irritably, behaving as Marlone was wasting his time then.
"Yes I do. I'm going to put you to the test. Bring Red Snake here and then you can kill him however you like. If you can do this job without leaving a trail for the cops to follow, then I'll forget about what happened in the past." Marlone offered.
"Fine. I'll go get the bastard now then." Drago said, turning around to leave.
The blonde lady was still there sitting on Marlone's desk. She wasn't afraid when she first saw Drago and was immediately drawn to his handsome looks and powerful physique.
In fact, she was infatuated by Drago and wondered what he looked like naked. Would he look more man or beast? She liked the animalistic look, it reminded her of her brother, The Tom.
As Drago went out the door, the lady, known as the Tam, hurried after him. She was Marlone's best harlot, she was basically the boss for all the prostitutes in the corporation.
She just couldn't let this sexy lizard man get away. She wanted to know more about him. She made a crazy vow to hook up with the guy who took down her brother. And he was that guy.
Tam knew he was the one who put her brother away since the Tom had told her so. There weren't too many lizard guys running around the streets of San Francisco afterall.
She wasn't going to tell her boss that Drago had lied to him about busting Tom to Section 13, she was already that fond of him. She had to have him, he was just too beautiful to pass up on.
"Wait!" she cried out, her voice sexy and alluring. Drago stopped as she ran in front of him.
"Get out of my way, lady. I have a job to do." he said, not wanting to be delayed in killing again. It was one of his favorite pastimes that he hardly got to do as much as he'd like to.
"I can help you! I can tell you exactly where Red Snake lives! He hasn't paid his bills to me and he beats my girls. I want to see the look on his face when you drag him away to Marlone. I have a car outside. You won't have to search around. Come." she said, taking his claws into her hands and bringing them to her nearly exposed breasts.
Drago pulled his claws free and pushed past her. "No thanks." he growled, lashing his tail. He didn't like pushy women. Even a freebie grab and squeeze wouldn't make him look past that annoying quality. He was to be the domineering one, not the females!
Terry went by just then and told Drago he would take him to Red Snake's house as soon as he was done dropping off the paperwork for Marlone in his office. Tam was really upset to hear him say that. She had hoped to convince Drago go with her alone. No such luck.
She angrily watched Terry take Drago down to Butch's car and they drove off. Oh well, she knew where they were going. She got into her own car and sped off to Red Snake's mansion.
Although her brother was genetically altered with lion DNA, the Tam was not. She was highly trained though in fighting and knew how to use all sorts of weapons from guns to swords and knives. She was definitely not the helpless type.
Her real name was Tammy, but at work her codename was the Tam. She wasn't considered a clean-cut lady due to her habit of sleeping around with different men and having sex with several men all in one night in one room.
She trained and taught the new girls in Marlone's harlotry, letting them know what turned men on and how to bring in the most money from customers. It was business and pleasure all rolled into one.
Tam got to Red Snake's home almost the same time Butch did. She parked behind them and got out of her car, going up to them as they were getting out of Butch's car.
"Tam! What the h-ll are you doing here?" Terry asked, annoyed to see her. He never liked the Tam ever since she squealed to her brother that Terry had taken the Tom's bonus checks, forged his signature, and kept the money.
The Tom beat the tar out of Terry for that. But he would have never known if Tam had just kept her mouth shut about it. She had promised beforehand that she wouldn't tell her brother anything after Terry paid her some money from those big bonus check, then she told Tom anyway.
Terry did not trust her one bit and wished there was a way to get rid of her. But he couldn't find someone as shallow and sexually savvy to take her place. Until he found someone that was qualified enough to replace her, the Tam had to stay.
"It's a free country, Terry. I have a right to be here if I want to." she said, grinning. Since Marlone liked her, she could get away with breaking some corporation rules. Another reason why Terry despised her so.
"Let me be the decoy. I can help Drago here get in real easy." she offered, sauntering up to him. She tried to press her body against his, but he pushed her away.
"Like I said before, no thanks." Drago said, frowning. Terry grabbed Tam and began shoving her back to her car. He was thinking that she was out to get some of the credit for this and more commission money. Well that wasn't going to happen!
"You're not needed, Tam. Just get back to your sluts-in-training and let us do our job!" Terry said, giving her one last hard shove to the hood of her car. She fell onto it with a cry of distress.
"Oh! You as-hole! Fine! I'm just going to wait here and see you guys get busted up by Red Snake! I hope he sic his robot dogs on you, Terry! You d-mn pig faced bastard!" she shouted, throwing a bratty tantrum.
Terry ignored her and went into the car, bringing out some miniature microphones and a receiver. He gave two button sized mics to Butch and Drago for them to attach to their shirt collars. Terry hooked the receiver up in the car and sat down.
"Ok, you're all set. Butch, you run decoy then come back here when I give you the ok. Drago, you grab Red Snake and bring him back to the car. I'll tell you where he usually stays at in the mansion, so you won't be spotted by his security. Ok, move out!" Terry said, giving Butch a high tech gun.
Drago refused his gun when Terry offered it. "All I need for weapons are these." Drago said, holding up his claws. "Ok, suit yourself." Terry said, then shut the car door.
Butch went to the front door to distract the butler and maid and two security guards, threatening them to pay up on their bills. Since they were told not to give in to such demands, they came up with excuses. Butch 'argued' with them while Terry told Drago were to go in the large building.
The fiery teen went through the house, searching the rooms that Terry said Red Snake would most likely be hanging around in. After checking twenty different rooms, Drago was growing impatient. How many more doors did he have to look behind?
"Ok, if he's not in that room, then try the basement. Sometimes he stays there if he's got some ladies over. Let me know what you find." Terry said, then waited.
Drago went downstairs to the basement and finally did locate Red Snake. He was a huge man like Butch, but he had robotic metal right arm. He was fooling around with four young girls in his king sized bed and they screamed in fright when they saw Drago.
The girls scrambled to cover their naked bodies, hiding under the covers with Red Snake. The big man was very angry and annoyed, though afraid at the same time.
"How'd you get in here?! Who are you?!" RS yelled, waving his metal arm about. Drago put his claws up, flames flowing up from them.
"Your executioner." Drago answered, feeling proud to use a line his father often used. He went up to the bed and the girls fled, shrieking. Red Snake tried to defend himself with his metal arm, but Drago caught his metal hand.
Crushing it to nothing more than twisted metal, Red Snake was shocked and worried. No one was able to beat him! What was going on here?? Drago mercilessly grabbed RS by his thick neck and dragged him upstairs.
He took him outside through an open window and hauled him back to the car, ignoring his begging and pleading. Red Snake was sure Marlone was behind this kidnapping.
"Marlone's paying you to do this, right? Right? Whatever he's paying you, I'll pay double! Triple! Just let me go, please!" Red Snake begged desperately. Drago snorted at him.
"Shut up, human or I'll kill you right here, right now!" Drago snarled, throwing the husky big-boned man against the high brick wall that surrounded the property.
"Please! I'll do anything! Anything!" RS begged more. With a hateful sneer, the fiery teen slammed his fist into the fat gut of the man, causing him pass out.
Drago hauled the man over to the cars to find Terry and Butch waiting. Tam hurried out of hers to see that Drago had really brought Red Snake out of the 'protection' of his mansion.
"I can't believe you guys had any trouble with this as-hole." Drago grumbled throwing him into the trunk of Butch's car. Tam gushed over how strong Drago was, nauseating Terry.
"Oh, you're sooo strong, Drago-Baby! So strong and smooth..." she purred, leaning against him sexily. "I bet you're those things in bed too, hmm? Strong and smooth?" She thrust her hips to show what she meant, then Terry grabbed her arm.
He flung her backwards and yelled at her. "Lay off, Tam! Drago's not interested in your slutty b-tchy self!" he shouted, giving her the finger.
Butch was looking at the closed trunk, so glad to finally have that fat 'snake' under their control. He heard what Terry was saying and nodded.
"Yeah, Tam! Drago's already got a girlfriend. You better go bark up some other tree." he said, recalling to when Drago boasted about his woman and how wonderful she was.
Butch and Terry had some steady girlfriends themselves. They weren't at all sluts like Tam and the guys were proud of their ladies too. All three had exchanged stories about their girlfriends. No names were given, but it was enjoyable to talk about the good sex they could give.
"WHAT?!" Tam cried, unhappy to learn about this horrible news.
"Yup, you heard it, b-tch! I doubt Drago's fiancée will like you trying to get all buddy-buddy with her man, so you better clear the h-ll out!" Terry said with glee.
"No way! I don't care if you've got a fiancée, Drago-Baby! I'm going to make you mine!" she cried, not wanting to give up on him. Drago coughed strangely.
"Hey, I know I'm incredibly sexy, but d-mn, can't you go chase after some other guy?" Drago said, half-smiling. Being sought after by the ladies was a definite boost to his ego, but only one lucky lady could have this dragon. And that lucky lady was Jade.
"You can have Red Snake." Terry teased, pointing to the trunk. Tam shrieked in disgust. "Ew! Are you mentally ill? No way!"
Butch rolled his eyes at all this and got into his car. "Come on, let's go. The sooner RS is dead, the happier I'll be." he said. Terry nodded. "Yeah, let's get that bastard iced." Drago got into the backseat and ignored Tam's pleas for him to ride in her car.
In a huff, she watched them drive off. She waved her fist and screamed obscenities. They were long gone though. She stamped her foot. "I wish I knew who was Drago's fiancée. If she was out of the picture, then I could make Drago mine..."
Tam was about to go back to her car when she heard a noise behind her. She turned around to see a man dressed completely from head to toe in a red outfit.
"Do you want that monster?" he asked. Tam stared at him, unsure and wary. "Monster? What monster?" she asked, confused.
"Drago! Do you want him?" the man in red asked angrily. Tam narrowed her eyes, a cocky look on her face.
"Yeah..." she replied slowly. "Why? What can you do to help me?"
"Plenty. I am Iso. If you want Drago for yourself, then you have to do as I say. Then he's all yours." Jim said, discovering a new way to get rid of Drago so he could get Jade.
He had secretly followed the fiery teen that day, witnessing all the crimes he did. He knew that dragon beast hadn't changed for the better like Jade had insisted. He was worse than ever!
With the help of this Tam woman, he could get her to seduce Drago away from Jade. She would be heartbroken from Drago leaving her and then Jim could rush in and sweep her off her feet.
Jade would be so grateful that she would instantly marry Jim instead. Well, this was what Jim thought would happen should Tam be able to break up Drago and Jade...
"Why would you help me? What's in it for you?" Tam asked, still not trusting him. Jim took a few steps closer. "I want Drago's fiancée for myself. But she won't come to me, because Drago's in the picture."
"Oh! I get it!" Tam exclaimed, understanding. This Iso guy's problem was just like her problem. Hmm, maybe she would help him. It surely would benefit her at least. And that's all she really cared about. Herself and only herself.
"So, will you cooperate with me on this?" Jim asked. Tam nodded, smiling evilly. "You bet! So, what do I do?"
