Training Days

By: Immortal Drake

Dr. Smith thought on the monotony her life had taken for the past month, thinking about how Dragulus went on about with his training. They still had a hard time making him listen to commands, and in the end he leveled everything in sight. This made it infuriating for the trainers to tell Dragulus to leave something alone, or protect it, and he simply smashed it to smithereens. And he makes it hell for the cleaning crews too, she thought in addition. So far, Dragulus had not shown them any new powers, which seemed to disappoint Mr. Savage, but was just fine with her. In addition, Dragulus had shown that he was even more a bully than Ripper or Gladiator had ever been. She still remembered those horrifying moments when Dragulus had killed the two, and then simply laughed for the world to hear. They would have to find a way to make Dragulus listen, or there was going to be trouble, she thought.

Another day had dawned, thought Dragulus. He shifted his head from where he slept against the wall of his chamber, and saw that the humans in their den had risen before him again. They always seemed to be up and about, no matter when he was awake. He reasoned that this was just another day like before, and rose from his position and moved to the door to announce he was ready to go to the handling pen. They had tried to train him for the past month now, had tried to make him listen, but he simply ignored them. They had tried electrical shocks, concussive explosives, even a combination of them both in an attempt to control what he did. He had simply ignored them and did what he had wanted to do; none of those things hurt him or even made a scratch on his armor. Today would be no different, he thought. Now was the time for him to go with the others to receive his morning rations.

Dragulus had not been given a feeding area in his own chamber like Ripper and Gladiator, but instead received rations in the common area with the others. He walked down the corridor and came upon the door to the common area. It opened and he noticed that the others had arrived before him, which was annoying, and then he thought about how the humans may have been trying to be "compassionate" to the others. Dragulus thought such a sentiment a waste, but decided to act like everything was normal. When he had first become acquainted with the others there had been mixed reactions, some had cringed at his presence, others had acted like it was nothing; but then there were those that had tried to take charge, and he had rewarded their actions with prompt attacks.

There were those who had proven their worth to him, he supposed, such as Atoll; who was a monster based off of the DNA of a crab, and had the tough armor to prove it, he scuttled about upright on his six thick crustacean legs, and used his massive arms with their pincers to crush objects. Atoll looked at Dragulus out of the two beady eyes in his small armored head and an acknowledgement passed between them, Atoll had simply looked on as Dragulus had taken control, and now he would follow Dragulus. Dragulus also thought that maybe that other creature, Tyvolc, might be useful. Tyvolc was a reptilian being that slinked about on all fours, and could naturally camouflage himself when he desired, but his natural color was a dark green on his scales and his eyes were a dark yellow with slit pupils. However Tyvolc had tried to take control when Dragulus had killed Ripper and Gladiator and Dragulus had given him a scar over his left eye to prove it. Tyvolc could also release a stream of acidic slime from his mouth to attack opponents, and usually targeted the eyes. Yes, fitting lieutenants, thought Dragulus as he strode to the pile of food. The rations were a combination of fish and terrestrial fare, but another section had insects for those that dined on them. Dragulus didn't care what the others ate; the only thing he cared about at this point was getting his share of the food. And so with much shoving and near bites, Dragulus got his share, and made sure there would be a little extra for his lieutenants.

Tyvolc especially was nervous when Dragulus had motioned with his eyes for him and Atoll to take the food, but seeing Atoll getting on the good side of the new boss wasn't something Tyvolc was going to take sitting down. So he strode over and took the offered food, but made sure to keep his good eye on Dragulus as he did so. When there was no more, a door that Tyvolc knew went to the areas the humans trained him and his fellows opened.

A/N: Wow, so now Dragulus has two new lieutenants, Atoll and Tyvolc, I'm seeing something akin to Megatron and Starscream's relationship going on here, hehe.

Anyhow, these stories just sit on my computer and are only being uploaded now, so now you can know why I can update so fast.
