THE RED DRAGON CLAN
CHAPTER ONE
The Red Dragon
:I do not own Mortal Kombat. The character Donna is an Original character made by DivaDonna and Jasmine is an Original Character by me:
The Red Dragon Clan; A supreme criminal organization relying on stealth and secrecy to carry out their operations. Their goal is eventual world domination. Of course, for a clan to succeed in World Domination they must have a strict system of codes and very loyal members; with smarts and strength. Yes, The Red Dragon's members are loyal and strong, but some are a little on the ditzy side.
Take Jasmine for example; one of the loyal hardworking members of the Clan. Jasmine was once a vagabond traveling throughout the realms looking for fun, or just to cause mischief. She was soon taken in by Mavado who thought she could somehow be of some use. She went through intensive training to become a Red dragon member and somehow prevailed. The clan only uses her for minor business like retrieving things or doing away with minor enemies. She likes to think she is doing a great deal of important things, but it seems Mavado never gets around to telling her to leave. She and Hsu Hao seem to be rivals for Mavados approval and attention.
The leader of the Clan; Mavado relies on discipline and superior intelligence to fight. He is quite angst ridden sometimes, usually because of the constant responsibility one would assume a clan leader would have. Jasmine seeks his constant approval and seems to be smitten with him. His past is shrouded in secrecy just as are most of the members of the Clan. He has great difficulty showing feelings, which confuses Jasmine and others. Hsu Hao; a deceptive Mongolian grappler and another loyal member of the Clan. He is a very interesting character indeed. Hsu Hao has a pulsating cybernetic implant that also enhances his strength. Although his appearance gives the impression that he is cold hearted, he is very caring towards Donna. He also strives for Mavados acceptance, as does Jasmine.
The fourth main member of the clan is Donna, an attractive dominatrix and loyal member. Like Hsu Hao she has cybernetic implants to increase her strength and resistance. She is the daughter of an elder Red Dragon Member, Ridditch. Donna was in an accident that caused serious damage to her brain. Her Father operated on her, placing implants into her brain and other injured parts, but she fell into a coma and lost all of her memory. Her father disappeared into OutWorld and left Donna in the hands of the Red Dragon, They protected her from their Rival group "The Black Dragon". Although her past is unknown to her, she is still friendly and is in love with Hsu Hao.
Our story begins on a normal summer night at the Red Dragons secret base. The base; mostly made up of caves, was looking quite nice on this particular night. Perhaps it was the way the moon was shining.
The corridors; lit with candles mounted to the walls with silver dragon emblems, Almost romantic in a sense. Mavado sat in his room, looking at old documents that were much worn. He closed them away in a drawer and sighed. A frantic knock rattled at his door. He put his hands on his head, already knowing who it was.
"Come in" he sighed.
Jasmine slowly opened the door, peeking through,"Can I come in please?"
"Yes…"
She walked in, and lingered behind him, "Um, sir if you weren't already aware of the this, may I inform you that its 7 o'clock?"
Mavado looked at his old clock on his desk,"Oh, I Suppose it is. It's time for dinner, yes?"
Jasmine smiled, she imagined they were living together, her making him a nice dinner; it made her cheeks turn red with delight. Mavado looked at her, intrigued by the strange look on her face.
"Well, what did you want?" he snapped.
"Oh, um, I wanted to know what you wanted me to make the clan, Donna and I will prepare dinner!"
"Ah, well you know what I like, do you not?"
Jasmine let out a giggle but quickly stifled.
"What's so funny?" he asked, arching his eyebrow.
"N-nothing. I do know what you like, but I was wondering if you wanted anything different?"
Mavado stood up with a stern look on his face.
"You know, my dear Jasmine, This all seems like some kind of ploy to waste my time…Of course you wouldn't do that, would you?" he said, as he looked down at her.
Jasmine looked away, blushing because he was so close,"Oh no, Sir never" she stammered.
Mavado sat down and stared at her, his eyes locked with hers. Jasmine slightly bit her lip, and fiddled her fingers behind her back.
"You should probably start dinner, shouldn't you?"
"Oh, yes, I'll get right on it!"
She ran out of the room forgetting to close his door. Mavado sat there with a smirk across his face.
Jasmine ran to the Kitchen, where Donna was sitting on one of the counters.
"Did he say what he wanted?" she asked tilting her head slightly.
"He said I know what he likes."
"What was he doing in there? He's been in his room all day…"
"I don't know, I walked in and he was just sitting there..."
Donna hopped off the counter and put on an apron. Jasmine did the same. The other members who worked in the kitchen mostly gathered the food and washed the dishes. Jasmine and Donna cooked every once and a while. Hsu Hao peeked in the kitchen wondering if the food was done yet. Donna smiled at him coyly.
"You know sometimes it's so hard to understand Mavado" Jasmine sighed.
"Yes I know, but that's how men are. Hsu Hao and I are extremely close and sometimes I still get confused" Donna replied, putting spices into a large pot.
After about an hour the food was ready. Hsu Hao and Donna ate in the dining room, with the other members, while Jasmine brought the food to Mavados room. She knocked on the door and was permitted to come in. Mavado was staring out the window his hands behind his back.
"Here is your food, Sir."
He turned around, and smirked, "Ah, Jasmine, that wasn't very long at all."
She smiled and looked away, still holding the tray of food.
"You can sit it over there on my desk." he said while walking towards her.
She quickly did as she was told and then headed for the door.
"Wait." he commanded.
She turned around and stood there; slightly surprised that he wanted her to stay. He walked closer to her; each step making her heart beat faster.
"I want to discuss what we are planning tomorrow; I want you to tell the others."
Jasmine nodded; wondering what he was talking about.
"Here. Sit" he said as he pulled out the chair from his desk.
Jasmine reluctantly sat there, she crossed her legs and listened intently.
"As you know, members of The Black Dragon Clan have been spotted 10 miles north. Just grunts I suppose, none that are very important. But in order to eradicate that whole wretched clan we must exterminate every member we see. I've sent some of our warriors to spy on them. They are camping out up in the mountains, I'm not sure what they are doing. Perhaps they are trying to find our base. We must not let that happen, they aren't very far, and by tomorrow morning I estimate that they will have moved 5 miles closer, maybe even more. It would be foolish to fight at night amongst the tumbling rocks that make up the mountain. So that is why we shall head there early in the morning. Do you understand, Jasmine?"
Jasmine nodded frantically,"We must not let them find our base!" She jumped out of her seat, her arms thought about proving herself to Mavado; how much she wanted him to realize her desire to fight for the Clan. She was so happy that maybe tomorrow morning she would finally succeed. She jumped up and hugged him; her excitement was just too much to bear.
Mavado was shocked and threw her off of him. She fell to the ground.
"I see, you're excited, yes?" He said with a nod.
"Y-yes."
"Well maybe this time you won't let that excitement get in the way of your duty." He said with a stern look on his face.
Jasmine looked up at him slowly,"Yes Sir."
"Good, now go tell the others and ready your weapons for tomorrow."
Jasmine ran off nearly tripping over her own feet. Mavado sighed and put his hands on his head.
