Episode one (continued): Kidnapped McGee!
-Nick's POV-
I transformed into my dragon self. I am mostly grey all over with a blue underbelly, a blue "scar" under both of my yellow eyes with black pupils, a blue tipped tail, my wings had blue flaps and are tipped with a dragon tooth, I have two sharp white horns, and two picked-up ears with blue on the inside. My sharp claws seemed to be ready to cut though anything. I spread my wings and take flight. I fly above Shawn and Gus at fist, but then I go higher. I look down from my altitude. From the height I was at, I could see the entirety of Santa Barbra. I memorized every inch of it in the the five minutes I was up there. I flew down to the place I left Shawn and Gus. The two seemed to be talking about me and Shawn's desire to ride me. I hovered above them just to get their attention. The desire to destroy became intense. This desire was always there. I always blamed that desire because of my inability to feel emotions.
I did fail to mention this in the first chapter. Then again, I don't trust you. Not yet at least. So, what do I do with this desire you may ask? Well, I directed it to the monsters on my Earth. Why monsters and not humans? Well, my foster parents raised me to know right from wrong. To their eyes, monsters were a wrong that someone should get rid of. So, I took it upon myself to do that. Nebula was known for creating monsters from humans or animals. He would turn them into his minions and get them to harm humans for world domination. I began directing my desire at a young age. Humans did not notice me attacking the monsters. They did notice the number of violent crimes by the monsters go down. The humans thought the police force was the reason for this.
I met Officer Gus when I was a teen. He was one of the few cops on the "vigilante" case. Gus found me one day when I was battling a monster called Titan. The battle took place in a park. I had completely harmed the monster and was about to end Titan. I was in my dragon form during the fight. Gus yell made me stop from finishing the job. The humans that were there saw me for the first time. They were the ones who called in the police. They cheered when they saw I had beaten the monster. They called me a hero.
Gus took Titan to monster jail and me to the precinct he works at. He took me to the interrogation room. It was there he saw me transform back into my human form. Gus asked me a series of questions. The questions he asked me were about my "superhero" deeds. For example, if I was the one keeping the streets clean of monsters. I said yes of course. I failed to mention my destructive intentions. Officer Gus was just a person I did not care about. But, eventually I had to befriended if I wanted to keep my desires at bay. I had to make him my friend. Plus, Officer Gus started to trust me more over time and he even viewed me as his very good friend. He kept me in check by making me follow the police law. Together we put away many monsters. However, Nebula would somehow pulled them out from the jail and back to work. We continued our work till the day my father passed away.
Back to the story, the desire became all I wanted to do. I was not far from the McGee's place. I could go over there and do some harming. The blocky creatures could be my target. I remembered about the blocky pigs. I flew there without hesitation. Shawn and Gus followed me in the car. I am so much faster than that small car. I finally made it to the house. Marty McGee was shooing away the pigs yet again. I attacked the pigs without mercy. I beat the pigs up till they went poof. I absorbed some strange green round experience points. There were also blocky raw pork chops that I gladly gave to McGee. Shawn and Gus were yelling a me once they arrived. They were scared that I flew away. They did not see the slaughter I committed. Marty was thanking me for getting rid of all of the pigs. With a hero-like tone, I told Shawn and Gus about my heroic deed. They believed that silver tongue of mine.
-Author's POV: Victim's house-
Shawn and Gus looked around the place for a second time. Nick transform back into a human. They found the factory's phone line on the refrigerator door. "Shaw, look at this." Gus said getting the paper. Shawn went over to his best friend. "This must be the factory the McGees are working for. We should call and then go there to take a look." Gus said feeling proud that he found a clue. "Good job, buddy. Is there something strange about this farm?" Shawn asked while stealing a small tub of ice cream. Nick handed the man two spoons. Gus took one as did Shawn. The duo began eating the same tub. "Like the fact there are no cows?" Nick asked while crossing his arms. "Yeah. This place has been over run by those weird pigs. It also smell like pig too." Gus said between bites.
"I bet the wife went to the factory instead of the store." Shawn said. He gave the tub and spoon to Gus. Shawn placed his hand near his head. "I remember Marty telling me about how not big his farm is. But, I saw Jules writing down how big this place is. It is big enough to be a pig farm. I also saw the pictures of the pig stables." Shawn explained. He went over to the kitchen table. Above it were pictures of the McGees. Shawn pointed at one that had the couple in front of a few pig stables. "Why would the wife lie about where she was going?" Nick asked. He was slightly impressed by Shawn. "I think this farm is having bank troubles. The factory is closing down this place." Shawn said. He went back to Gus. Gus had finished the tub of ice cream.
"So... What? The wife went to the factory to stop them from closing down the McGee place?" Gus asked not feeling ashamed of himself. "Yeah. I think that Marty is unaware of this. The wife must have gotten him to believe that the place was working side by side with the big fish." Shawn said glaring at Gus. "We should go check it out. The factory, I mean." Nick suggested. The duo had forgotten that he was there. "Let's go." Shawn said rather excited.
-Factory-
The two detectives were already there on the scene. "So, Mr. Kendrick. Can you tell us anything about Beth McGee?" Lassie asked the businessman. Gregory Kendrick is the manager of this large factory. He is about Lassie's hight. Kendrick is wearing a black suit and tie. His short hair, small build, and brown eyes revealed nothing alarming to the detectives. "She is a sweetheart. I don't know anyone who would kidnap her." Kendrick said in a sad tone. "When did you see her last?" Juliet asked. "I saw her here. She was talking about getting a raise. The McGee farm is not doing so well." Kendrick answered. "Lassie!" Shawn yelled. He was right behind Lassie when he yelled. It caused the three humans to flinch. "Shawn! What the fudge, man. I am in the middle of important police business." Lassie scolded Shawn. Juliet only shook her head. Kendrick was a bit freaked out by Shawn. "I have a vision." Shawn said dramatically. He put his hand near his head. "I see that this man has stolen poor Bertha." Shawn said with a smile. "Beth." Gus corrected him. "On what evidence?" Kendrick asked. "The spirits." Shawn answered. The cops ignored him. "Thank you for your time, Mr. Kendrick." Juliet said wrapping up the interview. "Any time detectives. I have to go now. I have a meeting to go to." Kendrick said as he left.
"Shawn... Just why?" Juliet asked him. "The spirits said it was him. Also, the McGee farm is being foreclosed by that guy. He is forcing them to close down." Shawn said trying to justify his actions. "Shawn. Why don't you leave us to do our work?" Lassie asked. "We need to get paid. We need more cereal." Gus said while scratching his noise. This caused Lassie to shake his head. Nick only watched them for a bit before jumping in. "Lassie. Why don't you let Shawn follow the lead? He will be out of your way. You can show me the ropes of being a detective." Nick suggested. "That is a good idea. Shawn, Guster. You two follow your silly lead. The big boys will solve this case. Come on cousin!" Lassi said pulling his outfit a bit. He then headed for the car.
"He does know that you two are not really related, right?" Juliet asked Nick. "Let him believe. It will let the two of you do your psychic thing." Nick said while making a hand gesture. "Thank you. You won't regret it!" Shawn said as he left with Gus. Juliet and Nick headed to the car. The police and one civilian left the factory.
-SBPD-
"And this is my desk. This is where all of the action happens." Lassie explained to Nick. "So there is a Gus in your earth?" Juliet asked him. "Yeah. Officer Gus Well. He has a fiancee named Markia. I work along side Officer Gus on a daily basis to put away monsters." Nick answered. "Oh, you mean the horrible, sick murderers. Is that what you call them instead, monsters?" Lassie asked rather eagerly. "No. We put away literal monsters. Nebula is known for creating monsters from humans or animals. He then forces the monsters to harm people. Gus and I are part of a team that put these monsters away. The precinct called us the Monster Busters." Nick said in a somewhat serious tone.
"But... that would mean that you are an extraordinary person. Superpowers?" Lassie sat down when he said that. Juliet crossed her arms. She became interested in the teen. "Good eye, detective. I do have superpowers. I use them to uphold the law and protect the people." Nick said complimenting Lassie. "What can you do?" Juliet asked Nick. She wanted to know if Nick was trustworthy. Most vigilantes are reckless and have a huge ego. "You know... Telepathy, teleport, becoming a dragon..." Nick said very calmly. Juliet made her first judgment of the teen. Nick did not seem reckless or have a huge ego. If anything, he was more responsible than Shawn.
"You can become a dragon." Lassie said in a hushed tone. "A small one. Shawn and Gus already know what I can do. They even saw my dragon form." Nick said rather modestly. "That will come in handy. I already have our first suspect. It is a tech guy at the factory. She was the last one to be seen with Beth." Lassie said with a huge smile on him. He really liked his cousin.
He got up from his chair. "Great. Let's go get her." Juliet said as she grabbed her coat. "O'Hara, why don't you let my cousin ride in the front?" Lassie asked with an implicaton. It implied that Juliet should say yes. "He is a civilian." Juliet said scoffing at Lassie's words. "But, he works for the police. Did you ever take a detective exam on your earth?" Lassie asked turning to Nick. "Yeah. Took it when I was ten. Got a perfect score on it. My parents found out that I took it. They were so proud of me, but they also grounded me for a week. Though... it made Haku, my big bro, jealous of me. I eventually got him to stop being to jealous of me when I helped Haku with his bully problem. " Nick said recalling that day. "We should get going. We are so behind" Lassie said as he quickly left. Juliet and Nick followed from behind.
