Episode 0: Angelina and Dark Dragon first meeting
8 January 1990
Dragon Island: 10h00
A beautiful golden dragon measuring 4 metres long was walking in the corridor leading to Odin's room. That golden dragon has a long tail that move gracefully by each of her steps. She has paler golden scales at her belly sections and the rest was shining like the stars. She doesn't have hair like some of the dragons and blue eyes. She wasn't a muscular dragon, but the she was still very strong. Her name was Angelina and she was one of the 2 golden dragons of the world. She was walking to her destination when she sees Chang talking with someone. Chang is a purple dragon with purple scales. She has 2 oranges and long scales over her eyes. Her wings have strange form and she was 12 ft. high. The one she was talking too was a blue dragon with purple scales on his underbelly and blue like sapphire for the rest of his body. He has the same wings as Chang. Angelina can only guess it's him.
"So...This is your son councillor Chang?" Asks Angelina.
"Angelina! I think you should hurry and join Odin. You don't need to be so formal my friend." Says Chang with a smile. "Yes...This is Shu. He's about to receive his first mission after so much training."
Angelina never has the chance to meet him since he was young. They were both busy with their duty and Angelina mission can sometime take a year to finish.
"Congratulation Shu!" Says Angelina with a big smile.
"Thank you miss! I won't fail my mission I promise." Says Shu.
"Here! Take this bracelet. It will give you luck." Says Angelina. It was a bracelet with the symbol of luck. It has the power to give luck to the dragon who receives it.
"Thank you." Says Shu politely.
"I have to go now. See you later!" Says Angelina.
Shu and Chang answer the same.
Angelina walks until she reaches the room of Odin and enters in it.
"You wanted to see me Minister Odin." Says Angelina.
"Cut it out with minister." Says Odin with a smile.
"Alright father...So...Why do you call me here?" Asks Angelina.
"I need you for an important mission. You are strong and fast and I know you can accomplish it." Says Odin. "I need you to find and arrest the Dark Dragon."
"Me...Why don't you fight it yourself?" Asks Angelina.
"Because I'm the minister and a minister cannot accomplish such mission." Answers Odin.
"Father...What crimes the Dark Dragon committed." Asks Angelina.
"He causes too much trouble to say it now. The list of his crimes takes 30 pages..." Then Odin closes his eyes. "He uses to be much nicer when he was younger...*Sigh* what is even worse is that all the dark dragons of the island exile somewhere and we can't help them if they need us one day."
"I know...What do you mean by he was much nicer when he was younger?" Asks Angelina.
"He was an idealist dragon who wanted the best for dragons...But when something bad happen...He couldn't support it and he decides to eliminate the humans...He believes they are the cause of our suffering." Answers Odin.
"What's his name?" Asks Angelina.
"That's...forgotten." Answers Odin.
"..." Angelina didn't force her father to answer his question.
"The Dark Dragon is located somewhere in Miami. You must find him and arrest him. If you have no choice...Kill him." Says Odin. "But only if it's your last resort."
"As you wish father. I'll go right now." Says Angelina.
"Angelina." Says Odin with a worry voice.
"Yes father?" Asks Angelina.
"Be careful...I don't want to lose you." Says Odin to his daughter.
"Of course. Who do you think I am Ryu?" Says Angelina.
She then runs to accomplish her mission.
Miami: 20h33
Angelina flies in the sky and searches for the Dark Dragon. It's been hours since she begins her searching and didn't find anything good for now. She keeps searching to accomplish her mission and makes her father proud like always.
He then hears an explosion behind her and she turns around. She sees that one of the casinos has exploded and the building is on fire. She gasps in horror and flies right away to discover the source of the explosion. She sees on the next building the Dark Dragon who was laughing evilly. She then flies right away and land behind the Dark Dragons who turns around.
"I have a visitor...A golden dragon too...Why are you here?" Asks the DD calmly. He was twice her side and is more powerful than her but she has the upper hand when it comes for speed. She knows this.
"What have you done?" Says Angelina horrified by the vision. "I'm here to arrest you and put you on a trial for all the crimes you've committed Dark Dragon!" Says Angelina.
"Arrest...for what? I ONLY BRING JUSTICE FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER AND PERISH BY HUMANS!" Shouts the DD who lose his cold behavior to a furious and vengeful one.
"What you've done right now isn't justice...It's only murdering a human!" Says Angelina.
"You know nothing about me!" Says the DD furious.
"I don't care. What you've done is unforgivable! Prepare to fight me!" Says Angelina taking battle-stance.
"You've smaller than me...You have no chance against me. Fufufu." Laughs lightly the DD.
The DD attacks Angelina first. He tries to punch her face but she dodges it by the right. She tries kicking the DD but he jumps back and blocks the punch of Angelina and traps it in his hands. Angelina then turns around herself and hits the DD stomach with her Elbow.
"Urgh...Not bad." Says the DD.
He then kicks her back and she falls on her belly. She then turns herself and uses her tail to smash the DD kneel and stands up. The DD maintain his balance and tries punching her but she blocks it. She then punches the DD face three consecutive times.
"Ouch...AAHH!" Shout the DD in pain.
He shakes his head and uses his claw to slash the chest of Angelina. 3 Long lines appear on Angelina chest and black blood comes out of her chest.
Angelina pushes backward the DD and breathes golden flame. The DD blocks with his dark flame. The 2 flames enter in contact and the powers of both dragons were equal. They breathe with all their strength and after a minute, the DD takes the upper hand since he has bigger lungs and a more efficient one. At the last second, Angelina dodges by the left and the flames miss her. Angelina charges at the DD and punches his chest and follows up with her tail hitting the side of the DD. The DD was furious and he bites the shoulder of Angelina he then swings his head left and right with her blood flying in the air. She the bites the neck of the DD and the pain force the DD to open his mouth and Angelina free herself and lands behind the DD. She then takes his 2 arms and put it behind his back. He tries to free himself but Angelina resists, pushes the DD on the ground and takes the DD tail and attaches the DD hands and foot with his own tail.
"RELEASE ME OR-" Smash! "AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" Shout the DD in pain after Angelina kick between his legs.
"Don't try threatening me DD. You are the one at my mercy." Says Angelina. "I shall bring you to the Dragon Island where you'll receive your punishment for all your crimes."
"Crimes...What crime is it to get revenge for my family?" Asks the DD.
"...What do you mean by that?" Asks Angelina.
"This casino is the base of the huntsclan...Those hunters that kill mythological beings...They kill my parents AND my brother without mercy. Do you think I'll be a god little dragon and let that happen...THEY IS NO JUSTICE FOR MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES...WHY DOES THE DRAGON EVEN TOLERATE THE HUNTSCLAN EXISTENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE?" Shout the DD with all his fury.
"...I know why." Says Angelina.
"WHY?" Asks the DD still enrage.
"Because...They are a lesser threat than the sect." Says Angelina.
"The... sect?" Asks the DD. "What's the name of this...sect?"
"How old were you when you lose your family?" Asks Angelina still maintaining the DD on the ground. She also dodges the question.
"10 years...Just 10 years old." Says the DD.
"That is why you don't know anything about the sect." Explains Angelina.
"What's the name of this sect? I don't want to repeat this question again and again." Comment the DD darkly.
"It's...too risky to say it out loud...It attracts them when we say the name." Whispered Angelina.
"..." The DD knows she's serious when she suddenly whispers the answer. "Now...Can you get off my back?"
"No...I'll call the other and you'll be in jail for a long time." Says Angelina.
"Why do dragons always respect the ancient law? You can just kill me." Says the DD.
"Law #2. Always respect the life of every sentient being; Kill only when it's absolutely necessary. I've arrest you so it's not necessary." Says Angelina.
"Stupid dragon law...As long as I live...I'll try to destroy the humans...You're making a big mistakes." Says the DD.
"No...I'm not low like you...The loss of you family is a great tragedy but it's not a reason to kill every humans...N-E-V-E-R" Says Angelina. "Lots of human in this casino were innocent."
"NO ONE IS INNOCENT!" Shouts the DD.
The DD moves left to right and moves on his back and the eyes of Angelina and the DD make direct contact for the first time. Angelina sees the cruel eyes of the DD, but more importantly, she sees behind those cruel eyes his great sadness and pain from the loss of his family. Her heart begins to beat faster and faster while she begins to be nervous and her bodies getting hotter.
The DD sees her blue eyes. His heart begins to beat faster and faster. His heart melt by those blue eyes...He doesn't know why but his heart melts by the warm contact. He cannot resist those blue eyes.
Little did they both realise, they fall in love.
"D-" She shakes her head. "Don't moves...Stay down and I won't kick your gut again."
"Al-Alright." Says the DD. He then lays on the ground and looks at her. Her communication crystal begins to shrine and she answers
"Hello...This is Angelina!" She says with her communication crystal.
"-Angelina. It's Odin. You need to go Hong Kong right now!-" Says Odin.
"Why?" Asks Angelina.
The DD opens his ears and listen carefully.
"-It's Chang...Her son Shu...He...He...He perishes during his mission.-" Says Odin.
"!What happen?" She asks horrified by the news.
"-That's...the worse part...He has been slay by the huntsclan but...It was the clan that makes money for greedy purpose...They take each of his scales...one by one...until all his sapphire scales has been taken...He was still alive when his scales were taken from his body...We are not sure when he was dead and release of the pain.-" Says Odin.
"I'm on my way!" Says Angelina.
"-Thank you...-" Odin wants to say something else but he keeps his mouth shut.
"Sorry DD but I have to leave you here. There's something more important than you right now!" Says Angelina has she flies away.
"...Should I take that as an insult?" Says the DD. He then free himself after twisting his tail and was about to fly away when he turns around. After a few second of hesitation, he opens his wings and follows discreetly Angelina...He didn't want to let her be alone...And he may have found an opportunity.
Hong Kong: Near a factory: 10h12
Angelina reaches the factory were Chang was and she sees her there, lots of dragons were around her and try comforting her but nothing works. She was crying for a while and she has the dead body of her son on her arms.
"No...Why you?" She says between outbursts of tear.
"Chang?" Asks Angelina has she moved closer.
"Angelina...Look what they did to him!" Chang shouts in pain.
Angelina knows what she's supposed to see because Odin warns her but...It was way worse that she has imagined. Shu has all his scales taken away from his dragon body. He is naked without his scales and the way it was taken away was violent. His lifeless face still show the pain he supports during his last moment of life when his scales were brutally and violently taken from his flesh. Under all the scales was a brown flesh covered with dark blood. His eyes were still open and show the horror he lives during his last instant of his life. Chang was hugging his lifeless son and tears still fall on his scales less flesh.
"Chang...I...I really don't know what to say..." Angelina then remains silent.
"...its best that way...Your presence is enough." Says Chang.
"Chang...Do you need something?" Asks Angelina.
"I...I need to find those...Bastards and...But...It's forbidden...I want so much to kill them all!" Shout Chang.
"I know Chang...Shu...It's not fair...He was so proud and...Where's the bracelet?" Asks Angelina.
"He...They have stolen it." Says Chang.
"...Chang...When you need to talk to someone...I'm always here." Says Angelina.
"I know my friend...Shu...*Sob*...You were only 20 years...Too young for a dragon to die...*Sob* Not that way!" She then falls in silence and cries again.
Angelina stays by her side for a while and Chang finally releases her son and the dragons take Shu to bury him at Dragon Island. Chang stays immobile for a while.
"Go...I'll join you later." Says Chang.
Angelina stands up and slowly walks away. She turns back a few second and she walks away.
Chang was still standing on her feet and looks at the blood of her son on the ground. She remains there until she hears something behind her.
"Hello...Miss Chang I presume." Says the voice.
"Dark Dragon...What are you doing here?" Asks Chang preparing to fight the DD.
"Calm down Chang...I'm not here to fight you...Do you think it's fair to let the huntsclan get away with this?" Asks the DD.
"..." Chang didn't answer.
"You are not the only one who lose someone dear and important...I also have lost member of my family...I have a proposal that can help for both of us..." Says the DD.
Chang remains silent.
"If you want to get revenge against those who kill your son...Maybe we can...cooperate?" Suggests the DD.
"...With you...Never! I'm loyal to Odin only!" Answers Chang.
"Then you're going to let the law in your way? You're going to let the huntsclan get away after what they have done? I refuse to let that happen...That is exactly why I'm a renegade for the other dragons and Odin." Says the DD putting some doubts in her mind. "I'll let you think about it and when you're ready...Contact me by using this sample of blood." He then gives it to Chang. "Only you can contact me...Remember...I'm the only one who can bring justice. Odin is too kind to ask for revenge, but kindness isn't enough! Sometime...Brutality sometime is the only way. Call me when you're ready." Then the DD flies away and leave Chang alone.
16 January
Paris: 11h42
3 days has pass since Shu burial and Chang hasn't even begins to feel better. Angela can only watch Chang in her sorrow during all this time. Angela was now in Paris, searching for the DD and she find it near a big restaurant. She then lands behind him.
"So you bastard dear escape!" Says Angelina.
"You leave me alone! Of course I've escape!" Says the DD. "But how did you find me so fast?"
"You're smell." Says Angelina. "That's how I found you sexy-" She then puts her hands over her mouth.
"What did you just say?" Asks the DD.
"That's how I found you Dark Dragon!" Says Angelina.
"...You've say sexy." Grind the DD.
"No...You must have dirt on your ears." Says Angelina.
"No...So I'm still sexy after all those times." Says the DD with vanity.
"You wish!" Replies Angelina.
"Anyway darling, you won't beat me this time." Says the DD with an evil smile.
"Come at me...I'm ready to kick your butt!" Says Angelina.
The 2 stays still for a while and look in the eyes of the adversary. They heart begin to beat faster once again and don't say anything. After 2 minutes the DD tries to taunt her, but the words coming out of his mouth is totally different of what he has in mind:
"Want to hang out with me!" The DD eyes grew bigger when he realises what he says.
...
"Are you crushing on me?" Asks Angelina uncertain about what's going on.
"What?! Of course not!" Shout the DD in the defensive.
"Ok...Something weird going on so." Says Angelina.
They both stay still and think about what happen.
Angelina slowly understands why the DD says that while the DD realises why he was so weird. He remembers the story says by his father when he says who he falls in love with his mother. He says it was at first sight and that means he has found his destiny lover.
Am I living the save thing has my father? There's nothing else that can explains why I'm weird right now. Says the DD in his mind.
"I think I know what's going on." Says the DD slowly. He then admits what he has in his heart. "I think I'm...I'm in love with you."
"You mean...Love at first sight?" Says Angelina.
"...Yes." Says the DD nervously. Love isn't something he's good at...More like totally suck and without any experience. After all, he's a mighty dragon.
"Wow...That is the last thing I've expect from you." Says Angelina. "But...Nevertheless...I also have those feelings for you...But I won't let it get in the way of my mission."
"Then attack me!" Says the DD waiting for Angelina to charge.
Angelina stays immobile for a second before she charges at the DD. She kicks the DD face before he catches her feet and throws her on the ground. She uses her tail and makes the DD fall, face first on the ground. The DD turns around, back stills on the ground and catches and drag Angelina closer and both their face close to the other. This close contact makes their bodies get heater and their heart beat stronger. Angelina looks once again in the eyes of the DD and she sees the good size of the DD. She realises...The DD isn't has evil as everyone believe...She then moves closely to the DD face and give him a small kiss. The DD stays still...not sure about what to do...He only answers to the kiss with another kiss.
"This is so wrong..." Says Angelina.
"It is the will of the ether." Says the DD.
"...What now?" Asks Angelina.
"You can start by getting off me." Says the DD.
"I think you're right." Says Angelina. She then gets off the DD and they both sit and say nothing for a while.
"So...What do we do now?" Asks the DD.
"How should I know?" Says Angelina.
They were both uncertain about what to do now. They know about the crush things and its trap in their brain until they overcome it if they can.
"Maybe you can say yes to my question." Says the DD.
"?" Angelina didn't understand what he means.
"I mean...When I say...Want to hang out with me?" Explains the DD. It was getting hard talking.
"Hum...Yes..." Angelina was getting nervous. Dating her enemy...It's very awkward at minimum...Scandalise at worse.
"There's...a restaurant close here...If you're hungry of course?" Asks the DD.
"If you pay for it...I think I'll accept." Says Angelina.
"Where do you think I can keep money hum? I don't have pocket to keep that." Says the DD.
"There's one possible place..." Says Angelina with a smile.
"I'll never put anything in here...Not my fault human have twisted mind." Says the DD.
"Anyway...It's a mythological creature's restaurant...The second stage more precisely." Says Angelina. "I'll pay...but you owe me half of the bill."
"Of course...But...We need a little different approach." Says the DD. "I don't want them to see me and alert the dragons...And you'll be in trouble too right?"
"Yeah...So...How will you do this?" Asks Angelina.
"Like this..." Then the DD chants a spell and his scales slowly turns blue. "For now on call me Sancho."
"Sancho...That's not your real name." Says Angelina.
"A false name...She we get going madam." Says the DD.
"...Don't call me that way...It's just weird." Comments Angelina.
They then flies to the second stage of the restaurant and enter in.
"Great...A Chinese restaurant...I bet they have the so call prediction cookies." Says the DD.
"Sancho...Calm down or you'll «turn» green again." Says Angelina.
"Don't make jokes with spells." Grunt the DD.
"..." Angelina didn't reply but she gives a big smile at the DD.
"Hello and welcome in our great restaurant...For 2 dragons." Asks the waiter.
"Yes." Says Angelina.
"Then follow me please." Says the waiter.
The 2 dragons follow the waiter to their seats and command their diner. While they were waiting they begin talking about everything and nothing.
"So...Where do you live?" Asks the DD.
"I live at Dragon Island in the north district." Answers Angelina.
"It's a very nice place...I've live there before." Says the DD.
"And you...Where do you live right now?" Asks Angelina.
"Me...I live...Everywhere I can found this place." Says the DD. "I don't have a specific house."
"Interesting...What are your hobbies?" Asks Angelina.
"You know some of them...I also like learning new spells and history...I also like...Baseball." Says the DD.
"So Sancho likes baseball." Says Angelina.
"Yeah...I took interest when I receive a ball at my eye...I decide to watch a game and...I like it." Says the DD. "And you...What are your hobbies?"
"My job is catching dangerous criminal...Especially those in who are in the list of the 5 most dangerous being of the earth. I also like playing the great game Dragon Eval!" Says Angelina.
"Dragon Eval...I suck at this game...I always finish by receiving the ball on my guts..." Says the DD.
"Here's your diner." Says the waiter.
"Thanks." They both say.
They then eat their diner and after a while, they have finish and their stomach was full.
"Time for those Chinese cookies." Grunt the DD.
He then opens the cookies. He then takes the message and read it: You'll find happiness in your heart and a bright future for you.
Angelina did the same and she read it: Your true love lies in the dark scales and behind his evil heart, a kind and marvelous father rest in him.
...
"What did you get?" Asks Angelina.
"My answers." Says the DD.
"Me too...I think the ether wants me to be with you." Says Angelina.
"The ether wants that from me too...I guess these messages aren't the normal one humans make." Says the DD with happiness.
"I guess too." Says Angelina.
They then pay the bill and flies to the top of the Eiffel tower.
"Dark Dragon...I have a marvelous time with you...To my surprise." She says.
"Me too...I never expect to meet my love that way." Says the DD with a smile.
"So...When do we meet again?" Asks Angelina.
"Well...When do you want to meet again?" Asks the DD. He really wants to see her again.
"I guess I can meet you again...If...You behave and you don't attack the humans..." Says Angelina.
"...For you?...Well...Sure...I'll behave." Says the DD.
"Then I'll see you in 3 days at London." Says Angelina. "Also...Don't use the teleport spell again...That's how I can find you're next destination and...I've warned Odin about this."
"I have to fly by myself?" Asks the DD.
"Yeah...You need exercise anyway." The DD puff at indignation of her light joke and Angelina continues: "But you can use it time to time...See you soon." Says Angelina. She then gives a kiss on the DD mouth and she returns to the Dragon Island.
"Well DD...You are officially in love...So...What can I do without tormenting humans?" Wonder the DD. He then flies to London and prepare himself got the next date.
AC: Love a sight...I haven't live on myself so I suck a romance development. I try my best in a not very known underground. I'm better when it comes to friendship rather than love.
Dragon Eval will appears later in the story and believe me...It will be ridiculous and non-sense rules...Even the dragons think so but they go with it.
Next episode 0.1 will be ready for 14 february.
