Chapter 8

I jumped through the man made section above me to see what I had gone through, but all there was to see was a giant area of red blood in a giant area, black clothes that seemed to be crumbled flat to the ground from something, and a bunch of masked people staring at the spot in front of them. Or was it at me? I couldn't tell because of those giant black things over their faces.

"Hi" I said before looking around, "what are you looking at?"

"Y-you KILLED HIM!!!!" A female voice screamed out towards me and the one on the left. Now distinguished as female rushes towards me and I looked down at the pile of clothes in front of me.

"You mean the squishy thing I hit was a person?" I asked looking back up to see the female had gotten rather close.

"You killed him!" She yelled swinging something thin at me and I cocked my head, "and now I'm going to kill you!!!"

I felt something pierce mg scales atop my head and my world turned dark.

———————————

When I was brought from the darkness I heard the sound of sobbing, and I shook my head, trying to get rid of the strange feeling I had up there. I stood up and padded the top of my head for a second before finding that she had shoved the thin thing through my head.

I cut off the part that seemed connected to the base of the thin thing and then grabbed at the space below my maw. The thin thing was there, stuck in me at the base of my maw and the tip touched the floor as I grabbed it and cut a sedition off before grabbing the middle section and pulling it out.

The black liquid inside me was leaking for a moment before stopping and I looked at the puddle of it on the ground, what was it called again? Blood? Yeah my blood was in a puddle on the ground!

I felt a little warmth go through my body after I remembered a word the other humans had taught me in their language and then I looked at the now three humans in front of me.

"I don't think you heard me, miss creepy ladybird black clothes, but was that squishy thing a person?" I asked tilting my head and that seemed to get them out of their frozen state, and it wasn't because of me. I was usually moving around when others went frozen suddenly, so this was something else.

Was death something that they weren't used to seeing? No I don't think it was that, they just dead me so it can't be that. Then what was it, I really wanted to know.

"W-what a-are you?" the lady in black said holding the mess of clothes close to her, and I tilted my head.

"Master never told me what kind of creature I was but Alex said that I was something called a 'dragon'?" I said tapping the floor, and then I looked at the other two still standing where they'd been behind the lady in black.

"Why did you take bird man? What did he do to you to get almost dead like that?" I asked but instead the big man pointed his finger at me and I tilted my head. Me? I was the reason bird man was taken? No his finger was turning into something.

I walked up to the man pointing his glowing finger at me, walking past the frozen lady staring at the spot where I had been gripping the strangely nice smelling pile of clothes covered in blood to herself. I walked up to the man, who was still staring forwards, but I wasn't there and he didn't seem to be able to follow my movements when I did this. So I just changed my size and took advantage of the situation as I jumped into his arm.

I was half the size I had been so it was easy to dig my claws into the muscle underneath and hold on as time resumed. The light from his finger turned out to be a beam of light and it went through the spot I had been as well as the section we were in and out the other side.

The man stood there confused as to why I wasn't there anymore and then he looked at me watching on his arm and roared in pain. I didn't like the sudden sound and my tail reflectively lashed across the man's throat and his roar turned into a gurgle and his other arm went up to grab his neck like that would stop the open wound I'd made there.

I jumped down from his arm, turning to my normal size again and accidentally pushing the big man backwards. His blood seemed to be red and thick like molten metal. It burned through his shirt and pooled from the sides of his neck melting through the floor we were on and down to the section below, partially melting that one as well.

I looked at the display and wished I hadn't accidentally opened his throat, he would've been really fun to fight, but I guess, like other humans, he was too soft to resist my claws and tail-blade from opening his skin.

I noticed the other one standing next to him remove a bit and I thought that he was reaching for something that would burn me inside, so I acted first and swiped the air towards him with my claws. Sending four streaks of thin energy streaking towards the human and through without any resistance.

His body fell apart not soon after, the top three sections fell backwards as they slid off and the top part of the legs tipped sideways and knocked over the bottom half of the legs. Causing them to fall over as well and soon there was a flat person where standing person had been. His body in a few sections, frozen in the stance that he'd been before falling apart.

I saw something sticking out of his shirt and realized that that was what he'd been grabbing. I went over, not caring about the warm red stuff flooding around my paws and I grabbed the note with my less bloody claws before holding it sideways and letting it open by itself.

$33000 reward for anyone that captures the Falcon and sends proof of his demise to ~£.*^!\!|£|£&@$/)-

I dropped the letter into the puddle of human blood and looked over to where the lady had been. Except she wasn't there anymore, and I was overcome by curiosity. I wandered over to where she left the pile of human clothes and flesh.

I knew her smell now, and so I followed the bloody metallic smell downstairs where it suddenly disappeared and I was faced with, what was that? Five, seven, ten, more than ten paw joints worth of people there dressed in black.

"Hi" I said hopping down the rest of the way and accidentally going through the next floor. I shook my head as I ran maw-first into a pillar and then the ground. I shook myself off and walked up the stairs, slowly fixing the things that felt like they didn't seem right on the way. So much burning inside, it was so painful, but not as much as The Bed so I felt with it.

"Sorrrrr ou a" I tried speaking to the people in black and felt that my bottom maw wasn't connected anymore, when did that happen?

I pushed my maw upwards with my paw and resisted downwards until there was a nice feeling pop. I opened and closed my mouth again before looking at their moderately scared faces? I didn't know what that expression was, a few of the humans that were around master whenever I cut up a Nomu in the Arena made the same faces and I heard one of the Big Blacks call it something. Honor? No. Help? No. Hor-Horror? Yeah. Horrified. That's what it was.

Master usually gave me a treat after those kinds of people came around. I never knew what it was because it was always dark in the room as the light didn't help much even with my eyes being better than a humans at seeing in the dark. They tasted like that meat I had after first meeting Alex, but different, and the outside was squishy with the middle being crunchy instead of just squishy.

They stopped coming after three seasons, and I never knew why, but didn't ask because master would've gotten mad if I did, he always got mad if I asked a question.

"Sorry about that" I said and then tilted my head at the first one and looked around everyone. "Where's lady in black? She was just here, but I don't smell her anymore."

"What did you do to Gammorah and the others?!" A thin-looking one covered in black stepped forward with an accusing tone and their finger pointed at me for some reason.

"I didn't do anything to female black clothes human, but male black clothed humans are dead" I said pointing my tail up and continuing to look around. I was about to go down to the next floor when I had a strange feeling invading my sense of hearing.

It was a loud sound and it seemed to be coming from the pointing ones hand, I tilted my head in curiosity and walked up to him, the waves of distorted air pausing and the others freezing. Then one of them moved, and I stopped and tilted my head as they came forwards even though everyone else was frozen.

"Hi little dragon" the man said standing in-front of everyone with his arms crossed, "now I don't want anyone here to die like the ones above, but I also want to know what you did to my female friend."

"The lady in black?" I asked tilting my head still amazed that he was moving while everyone else was slow.

"Yes, where is she?" The man said and I hopped a little, not caring whether or not my claws and tail cut through the material of the building.

"You have the same power as me" I was feeling that warm feeling again and the man seemed confused, my mouth was starting to get warm, and I knew that I would let out that beam of energy if I opened my mouth. So I kept it closed.

"Yes. Yes I do little dragon, but you have more than me, and again I do not want any bloodshed here, so if you'll tell me what happened to Gamorrah I'll tell you what you want to know." The man said and I was about to open my mouth to answer him but remembered why I had closed it in the first place and shook my head.

"You don't know?" The man said and I nodded and let loose the heat in my mouth. It was getting uncomfortable, so I looked down and let out the powerful beam. Then I hopped over the hole and sniffed the air on the other side. I smelled all of the people around and the sandy old smell of the man in front of me, but I couldn't smell anything else or the lady I had wanted to find.

"She's gone. I was following metal blood smell and then it was gone, over there, and none of you have that same smell so lady in black is gone" I said huffing, "and I wanted to ask her a question too"

"What kind of question did you want to ask? After all I do owe you an answer now" the man said and I hopped through the roof and to the section above before grabbing the paper from the multi sectioned person I had split apart and sank through the roof.

Landing on the heads of a few people dressed in black, but careful not to break anything as I hopped my way back over to the man with the same power as me. I dropped the note as I jumped over him and almost went into the hole I had made.

"The male in black that I cut apart was reaching for this and not a weapon, I thought it was a weapon so I let him fall apart, but it wasn't a weapon and I'm not having any fun" I said hopping around the hole, just barely on the edge, but also still on the good part around the hole.

"This was on one of my people?" The man asked growling slightly, but it didn't seem to be at me so I wasn't scared of it.

"Yeah, male human in black was reaching for this after I asked why they stole bird man and tied it to a chair all bloody and hurt, but I thought it was a weapon instead. So I split him into fives, he's a puddle on the floor now, or is it the roof. Which is which in human buildings?" I looked at the man and he crumpled the paper and looked like he wanted to hit something. But the paper was put into his pocket instead.

"My people weren't supposed to be accepting things like this yet" he said, "to think I have some traitors in my organization is very unsettling, but I will deal with it later. Thank you for showing me this, it seems like I owe you another question to answer"

I looked at him in surprise, why was a human thanking me for telling him what I found on a dead person? It didn't make any sense, but he seemed to be letting me have another question so I stopped to think.

"Why are you on the bad side?" I asked after thinking for a moment, "you have my power, or is my power your power. Master didn't tell me where they came from, he just 'gave' them to me"

"What do you mean?" The man asked and I tilted my head at him and then hopped from the metal part in the middle of the part leading down and onto the human's heads before going to the next.

"Like, why aren't you like bird man or Arlington. Helping others and using your power in ways like they do instead of killing like I do" I balanced on three people's head and looked at him as he watched me hop around on humans' heads with a very strange body posture.

"You mean, why am I not a hero?" He asked and scratched the back of his head before taking off his mask. Causing me to pause and look at him in confusion.

"I used to want to be a hero like every other human kid in this country it, but then my parents died and the hero's were there but didn't save her. She died in a fire and that same fire caused severe burns across the entirety of my body, causing half of me to look like Deadpool, and half of me to look like the way I do, pre Deadpool.

"What's Deadpool?" I asked tilting my head and the human put their mask on with a smile.

"It's a movie, something that you watch for entertainment" the man said and I hummed. Now I wanted to watch I this Deadpool.

"And now even though I am only 18 I have my own organization and I want to be more vigilante like, but they are still seen as villains and that's why I like to stick to the shadows and come out only if it's important to. Of which this is" he pulled out the wadded up piece of paper and tossed it up before putting it back.

"But once I deal with these traitors, I'll be away from the public for a while, so you don't need to worry about me for very long" he said and I hopped down from the humans and at the person's side looking at him with more interest now than I had before.

"Okay, I'm going to go and find lady in black now" I hopped over to the window and time resumed to normal as I hopped out. "Bye human" I said as I jumped and shot back to the park to look around for a human hour or so before the others found me again.

May we meet again in the future little dragon a teenage figure thought watching the speeding form flying away from them before ducking back into the building and disappearing along with the others.
