Chapter One...Forgiveness is Won
We all remember Lord Fu Xi don't we? You know evil cobra out for revenge on the two leggers. He really has gotten himself into a jam hasn't he... because of his lust for revenge he has turned into an evil villain who cares for no one but his own kind. He feels as though all two leggers are bad because he was betrayed, feared, and hated by some of them. I personally don't put all the blame on him, but plotting to plague the village with madness is a little over the top...just saying.(I mean if all your subjects are mad...what is the point in ruling) So where is he now? In Chorh-Gom Prison of course.
It was night now and Fu-Xi woke up in prison with a splitting headache from his battle with the Dragon Warrior. Since he was such a big baddie he was put in solitary confinement, a place separate and isolated from the other cells, but after a few hours they decided to let him be in a normal cell, not because they wanted to but because they needed needed more space for other even worst criminals. But on the bright side Fu Xi didn't have any cellmates for now, so he enjoyed the quiet time alone so he could plot his revenge in peace. He really had an attitude problem and all the guards hated him, since the guards where two leggers he would treat them with the same malice he would any two legger. His constant disrespect didn't earn him any brownie points with his fellow prisoners either. This caused him to be a constant target for abuse and mistreatment (at least from those who dared challenge him), but it was nothing really worse than what he showed towards them.(and he did all this only within a few days of being locked up, I'll say one thing he sure is good at making enemies) The problem was that he was outnumbered being the only snake out of hundreds or maybe even thousands of two leggers. But despite all this he remained as stubborn as ever never once weakening his resolve for revenge, he grew more furious that he was was forced to be confined and his plans grew more devious. He was plotting how he would bring all of the two leggers to their knees and create a new dynasty, one in which serpents ruled all with their iron fangs. He was also plotting what he would do to that meddlesome traitor Viper, she would fall like all the two leggers for what she did! If she had just followed him, he with her by his side would be ruling China by now, But NO she never seen what could be. She was NO SERPENT she was just another two legger in his book...she would pay for her deception.
Just as these thoughts where going through his head he heard a noise outside his cell, he peered through the darkness with the special type of vision snakes have and he could see the heat signature of what looked like a snake.
A snake? He thought to himself. Impossible he was the only snake here.
He gasped as the figure came closer and revealed herself to him. Then he hissed venomously when he found out the figure was none other than "The Great Master Viper" herself.
"What are YOU doing here TRAITOR, how DARE you show your face to me after what YOU did." he said in a tone that would have probably made a normal villager faint in fear.
"I...I...I came here to ask for your forgiveness." said Viper hesitantly
"FORGIVNESS! FORGIVENESS!...Why on earth would I forgive you, you betrayed me and ruined my entire scheme, all for some worthless two legger friends of yours...how could I ever forgive that, why would I...not to mention the fact because of you I'm likely to rot here for the rest of my life!" Said Fu-Xi rather hysterically
"Because I'm also here to free you." Viper said softly
"Ha like I believe that! This is just another one of your deceptive tri-." he started but was stopped in mid sentence has Viper picked the lock on his cell door with her tail and the door swung open.
Fu-Xi immediately tackled her and pinned her to the ground.
"Why are you doing this." he asked suspiciously
"Because I've changed my mind and I want to serve you now my Lord Fu-Xi." she said as he constricted her tighter practically choking her.
"Really? Well it's a little late for that now isn't it." he said with malice
"Please, I know I have betrayed your trust and if you kill me now I wouldn't blame you, but I want to make it up to you and I want to prove to you that you can trust me now, please." Viper pleaded
Fu-Xi loosened up slightly when he heard the sincerity in her voice but he still wasn't convinced.
"How do I know that this isn't just another trick, that you mean it this time?" he asked seriously
"Let me show you." Viper said as she took out a small bottle that she had somehow tucked away.
"My venom mixture...but how." he said astounded as he loosened his grip a little more
"You see my Lord Fu-Xi I never betrayed you, I just went behind your back a little, but for your own good. Had you known your reaction wouldn't have been as believable. I had to go along with Po and make him think I was still on his side, I knew that something like this would happen so I planned ahead and made a fake mixture (which only temporary mimics the effects of his venom) which is the one that actually went into the water."
"I knew Po was a great warrior and we would not have a chance to complete the mission without him getting in the way, so by doing this I made him think he won, but now we can strike easily because his guard is down." Viper explained
He stared at her for a moment as if searching for any hints of deceit in her eyes, he found none.
Before she knew what was happening Fu-Xi had her in a dynamic lip lock.
"Welcome back little sister, you are forgiven." He said as he finally broke the kiss and smiled down at her.
Viper was a bit shocked at his reaction and didn't really know what to say. Viper blushed a bit under his gaze and smiled back the way she smiled at him before when he said that.
"You know that plan of yours was incredibly devious, maybe there is place for you by my side after all." he praised her
"Thank you my lord, and I'm so happy that you forgive me for deceiving you." Viper said
"I'm pleased that you have chosen to be by my side, but tell me what changed your mind." he asked
"Well, I admit at first it was just mission to stop you...but after you showed me how empowering it feels to just lash out at the two leggers for there treatment of me...it felt good. I realized that the discrimination of snakes everywhere is not going to stop unless we make it stop...and I wanted be a part of making that happen." Viper said
"You will be, little sister...you will be." he said
Then they both slithered quietly out of the prison careful not to alert any of the guards. Now they just need to plan their next move.
Meanwhile at the Jade Palace
All the masters were still asleep and were unaware of Vipers sudden disappearance and certainly none of them expected what string of events was about to take place.
Back to Fu-Xi and Viper
They had found a place to camp out for the night in the bamboo forest and after a rest they decided to go for a little walk or slither to gather their thoughts.
"Little sister I still don't understand why you didn't tell me this plan of yours before, I could have killed you." Fu Xi said regretfully
"That was the whole point my lord, it had to be believable, besides I can take care of myself." Viper replied
"And I still don't understand why you didn't just kill him when you had the chance, It would have been much easier." he argued
"Trust me it wouldn't, I've seen it many times, the dragon warrior can get himself in a bad spot but somehow he always manages to get himself out of it. He always wins in the end, its like the universe is protecting him somehow, that's why I had to make him think he won so he would have no reason to suspect a secondary attack." Viper explained
"But we can't attack now the water system is broken." he reasoned
"That's the beauty of it, it shouldn't take long for them to rebuild so as soon as they do we strike again in secret and without warning, there will be nothing anyone can do until it's too late." Viper explained
"You have the most devious and brilliant mind I have ever seen, where has this utterly villainous attitude of yours been hiding all these years?" he asked
"I don't know my lord, but I hope that with your help I can reach my true potential." she replied darkly
"I will help you reach great heights my little sister as long as your willing to do what it takes, and by the way enough with these formalities and addressing me as lord, my little sister you may call me Fu- Xi or better yet big brother." He said smiling at me
"Yes, Big Brother." Viper said cutely
"Much better little sister, because I view you as my family and I want you to feel as if I'm someone you can place your trust in and I want to trust you too." He said
"Maybe while we wait on the reconstruction you can teach me more about being a snake, I really want to learn." Viper said
"Yes, I think that is a good idea, that way when the time comes you will be completely ready...we do have a lot of work to do though." he said
"First take those flowers off again, they make you look way too...nice." He said as he gently knocked them off again like last time.
"Now I've seen from before how much work we need to do on scaring people, so lets just start from the beginning."
"In order to scare someone it's not only about hissing and fierce facial expressions, It's about how you hold yourself and your whole aura."
"You need to channel your anger at the people you despise and let your body and movements sort of take on a life of their own." He explained
"But what if I'm not angry enough at the moment?" asked Viper
"You need to find what makes you angry and focus on that, so what is that mainly feeds your hatred of the two leggers my dear?" he asked
"Well I guess it's the fact that people seem to be afraid of me of creeped out just because I'm a snake." she replied
"Nice start, but think deeper and be more specific." He said
"I just what really got to me is...after all I've done for the valley they were so quick to judge me and fear me." she replied again
"That's good...now whenever you need to get angry you think about that, how it made you feel...let it fester in your mind and dwell on it." Fu-Xi instructed
"Now give me your best scare...but take your time this time." he said
Viper put her head down and tried to remember how the valley treated her and she flashed back to how even the children were afraid of her...this made her furious! She lifted head up her features and aura were defiantly fear inspiring and she let out a threatening hiss.
"Well done my pupil, much better than last time, but are you sure about this, for one who has lived with the two leggers for so long are you willing to strike back at them, and forget your friendships?" he asked her seriously
"Yes, yes I am, I don't even know if they really ever truly were my friends...they were nice enough usually but I could tell they always treated me a bit differently...and I'm willing to take action and defeat them by any means necessary." Viper said
"Good...little sister, I knew you had it in you...I'm proud of you." he said smiling at me
"thanks...big brother." Viper replied smiling at him
