Well you know the drill by now so there's no need to continue.
9:00 pm that night at Dead Person's Grounds:
Ever since the time Destro trailed after Zartan for stealing a piece of the weather dominator, the fun park remained unused. So it was changed into a biker's paradise with the entire works! Because of the wrestling and fighting matches that took place Dead Person's Grounds seemed appropriate enough of a name. Although no one had died some people had been hurt so badly they wished they had!
While Thrasher talked to Zartan, Torch sat on his cycle staring at his former girlfriend Midja with her former again current finance Nugget. Extra hands were needed during the battle with the Red Shadows so a temporary alliance of Cobra and G.I. Joe occurred. Midja had learned that Nugget was recruited into the Dreadnoks. That same day she secretly met up with him to find out how he found the organization. An innocent conversation turned into all night mending of ways. A week later Torch found a "Dear John" voice message on his cell. Broken hearted and angry he raged after Nugget. When all learned Torch was on the rampage, other Dreds had secretly followed him. Normally they didn't interfere, but the fight between the two men became so severe they had to be broken up and taken for medical treatment.
Midja stayed by Nugget's side while he recovered and moved all of her property into his place. She didn't even check in to see how Torch was doing so he hated Nugget ever since. Considering it was Zandar's idea to recruit him, Torch blamed him for breaking Midja and himself up. His moment of anger was distracted when a warm hand touched his shoulder.
One look into Lilith's cold sparkling eyes the vicious biker didn't see a creature of the night, but a princess with the face of an angel. Torch reached for his living dead soul mate's hand causing her fangs to pop out of their sockets. Lilith kept her mouth closed, but still smiled a smile that could brighten the darkest room. With their hands still locked, Lilith sat on the cycle beside Torch. An electrical surge passed through both of them causing the world to fade for many minutes. Torch's anger and heartbreak faded into nothing and was replaced by necromantic attraction. This was indeed the encounter only soul mates experience when they've found each other. Lilith kept her head forward, but the connection remained and reality returned.
"There's nothing wrong with caring about Midja as a person." Lilith stated. "Still she didn't appreciate you enough, otherwise she wouldn't have returned to her ex. It won't make a difference if they split up. Do you really want to experience the same heartbreak again?"
"Uh Hell no, how did you know that uh--- um---?" Torch said slowly.
Lilith turned slightly, put her opposite hand over his lips and replied...
"Don't worry Thrasher doesn't tell me personal things. I've always been good at reading people. Your posture carries the ready to fight mode a male lion does before he pounces his competition. When you look at Midja facially you carry the betrayed lover expression. Additionally you look at Zandar with a "how dare you!" expression. Whether Zandar recruited Nugget or not, he didn't make her leave you she made the choice! Let it go honey they aren't worth shit!"
Torch took Lilith's other hand and gave them both a small kiss. Without having to worry about anyone seeing her fangs Lilith smiled exposing her teeth. She moved closer to Torch and began to play a small game of footsy until an important telepathic message caused her to stop.
"We'll rendezvous later I have a few fights to enter." Lilith said. "Don't worry nothing terrible will happen you'll see!" Lilith said.
Lilith leaned in, kissed Torch's furry cheek and went to find her brother. Torch watched her fade from sight with an intoxicating high similar to Ecstasy. He knew Lilith was right, Midja made the choice herself to leave him as much as Zartan agreed with Zandar to recruit Nugget. Still Torch felt a bit nervous that Lilith knew all she did. All the biker could wonder was Lilith a psychic or did Thrash tell her everything after all? Lilith found Thrasher exiting the bar. He informed her that Zartan was hesitant, but Thrasher persuaded him into arranging Lilith to fight in the tournament.
Thrash lead Lilith to a women's locker room and lounge building. While he waited for Lilith on the stoop, five Outlanders came over and informed him Oden and Athena had requested their presence. Thrasher agreed because of the circumstances Lilith needed a management team. Thrash looked at the sachet in his shirt pocket hoping he wouldn't need to use it anytime soon.
Everyone moved to give the competitors space. Zartan and Zanya watched from the stand while Zarana and Zandar stood off to the side. The only rules to the game was that the only weapons to be used was one's body. The tournament began in the usual way of bruises, bloodshed and so forth but nobody died.
Bone Crusher was the fifth fighter up and a total of three he had defeated. With his reputation of using his brutal strength and taunting abilities, other competitors were hesitant in competing with him. Before he could claim victory a voice out of no where said in strong challenging tone... "Bring it on Bone Head!"
Everyone looked opposite Crusher where Lilith stood in a long sleeved, turtle necked, body suit posing like an outlaw in a show down. A silence occurred as if the Grim Reaper was amidst. Even nasty Crusher was parallelized from the captivation and domineering forces surrounding the vicinity like a forcefield. Worse yet looking into those hypnotic eyes had the former wrestler sweating and shaking down to his skeleton. Determination gave Crusher the boost needed to charge the mystical Goth.
Faster than a head spin, Lilith jumped high enough to grab Crusher's wrists, plant her foot in his belly and send him sailing over her head into a dumpster twenty feet away. Furiously Crusher fought his way out of the trash, pulled some off himself and headed angrily back to the area. Lilith stood nonchalantly waiting for Crusher's next stunt.
"You're gonna pay for that, you little freak!" Crusher snarled.
"Who are you calling freak ugly?" Lilith snickered.
The enraged alligator fighter charged Lilith with a fist, but she moved so fast Crusher didn't see her jump until she side kicked his temple. Disoriented and bloodied Crusher held his head shouting profanities and reaching for Lilith. She planted her head in Crusher's belly grabbed his pant legs, lifted him onto her back and slammed him. Despite his condition, Crusher reached for Lilith's ankles and pulled her down. He then knelt over the pale woman, locked her in his famous body choke hold and kept her there as he stood up.
"Filthy bitch!" Crusher growled. "I'll squish you into nothing!"
"You're mother's so stinky and ugly, I can see the resemblance in yourself!" Lilith chuckled.
Crusher squeezed even harder as his eyes bulged and face turned red with infuriation, for no one dare insult his mother! Except for his loud grunting there was intense silence. Everyone thought there was going to be a first death until Lilith dropped out of Crusher's grip like gelatin and slithered between his legs. Extremely loud gasps broke the silence as the impossible occurred before their eyes. Even Crusher stood staring between his arms and at the ground with his mouth open.
Lilith sneaked behind Crusher, grabbed his underwear and testicles then gave him an atomic wedgie and nut crunch of the ultimate kinds. Involuntary tears and a bloody murderous scream escaped the hunter. Desperate to remain undefeated Crusher grasped his genitals and attempted a one handed Hay Maker. Lilith caught his fist in her palm and with unlimited strength pulled him down to her level. She socked his head with hers, applied an Ostrich Kick to the diaphragm, a Rhino Thrust to the stomach and a final double spin kick to Crusher's temples.
The merciless maniac fell to his knees, vomited and lost partial consciousness. Everyone laughed, applauded and cheered because someone had finally turned the psycho into a pansy. While some Dreds scooped up Crusher's mess others hollered to him as he was being hauled away on a stretcher... "Lost a fight, your unborn kid and your cookies," "You were finally beaten by all people a girl," "Ever think about a sex change?" " Yo Robert should we start calling you Roberta now?" "About time someone beat you at your own game aye Roberta!"
Next Road Pig the man everyone thought for certain would beat Lilith, but her vampyric capabilities again proved otherwise. Instead of a double wedgie, Road received a mule kick to both of his knees and a head butt to the back of his skull. Although she was able to control her unlimited strength, the small amount she did use was enough to temporarily cripple and paralyze Road and force both of his personalities to surface.
After the seventh competitor had been defeated money bets were higher than ever when double teams wanted to challenge Lilith. Zartan was going to decline, but his siblings were curious. Reluctantly Zartan agreed to the handicap matches. Lilith experienced only mild scratches and bruises so luckily her management team was there to aid her. When anyone had blood loss Lilith's scleras turned red. With everyone being engrossed in the tournament, nobody though anything other than it was the lights' reflection bouncing off Lilith's eyes.
Lilith's phenomenal abilities made the nastiest Dreds fearful of her, soil their pants and put many to shame. They also made Storm Shadow and the Crimson Twins look like rookies. Lilith took Monkey Wrench and Rugrat down as if they didn't exist. Silly Chop Shop tried to assist them, but Lilith ended up cramming her spit bucket on his head and tossing him into a tree.
With his sixth sense Storm Shadow homed in on Lilith. He knew something wasn't right about her, but uncertain of what. Suddenly out of nowhere an invisible force pushed the ninja up and over his motorcycle. Storm struggled to rise, but the force held him prisoner in kneeling position and unable to open his mouth for anything. Two angry Carpathians stood over Storm Shadow glaring at him with bright yellowish eyes.
"You'll do well to mind your own business. There's nothing wrong with Lilith, Thrasher or their management team it's all in your head." Said the black Carpathian.
"Keep your senses to yourself or Hades1 will look like a paradise." Said the redheaded Carpathian.
The Carpathian men forced amnesia into Storm's mind. When it kicked in they convinced Storm two Dreds knocked him off the cycle when they were fighting. The men helped Storm up and returned to their comrades side.
Zartan had enough entertainment to feed an army so he sent Zarana with a message for Thrasher. After Lilith finished her final handicap match, her management team enclosed around her. They had to fight off even slap and push many Dreds away as Lilith went toward the ladies locker room. While the team waited outside several Dreds wondered why they were so protective no one could even congratulate Lilith. Thrasher grabbed Buzzer's arm while the female Carpathian ganged up on the biker's mind.
"Lilith doesn't like being touched when she sweats heavily." Said the woman. "It increases her already sensitive skin. Tell that to your nosy friends and let Lilith make the first move, understand?"
Unable to escape the mind hold Buzzer replied that he understood. As soon as he was released Buzz did what was subliminally ordered of him.
Meanwhile, there weren't many women in the locker room. Still she couldn't risk anything so Lilith kept her guard up. Heartwrencher took the bench a foot away from Lilith.
Lilith looked at Heart and smiled. "Your slip fell out of your bag."
Heart looked where Lilith pointed, picked up her slip, thanked Lilith and ended up smiling back at her. From the corner of her eye Heart noticed Lilith removing her body suit revealing a black lacy bra and matching panty. Lilith had electrolysis done on all except the necessary places making her satiny smooth and shiny. Figure wise she was built like Xena with naturally large firm breasts, a tight lifted rear, a hard flat stomach and everything any woman wished she had.
At the tournament, Heart was fascinated by Lilith's Herculean strength, snake flexibility, Houdini escape methods and marine toilet mouth. Heart stopped cold in the midst of removing her stockings when Lilith removed her under clothing. Heart was no stranger to bisexuality, it was who she was. Now she was staring dumbfounded at a living goddess. Lilith walked toward Heart and handed her a black thong panty.
"Bought it for myself, but it doesn't fit so it's yours to keep." Lilith said.
Heart took the gift, thanked Lilith again and watched the radiant beauty walked into the shower stall.
' Dammit Amy get a grip' Heart thought. ' You can't rely on what you saw at the fight or heard through her brother. She may have saved your life, but it doesn't mean shit, you don't know her personally. Oddly though I ----"
The sudden crash of the only mirror interrupted Heart's thoughts. Four other women ran toward the scene and Zarana heard the crash from outside. She ran toward the scene, stared at the mess and asked what happened, but nobody could answer what. Lilith smiled and winked at an owl perched outside a window, who blinked and gave a "you're welcome" hoot.
Lilith wore her normal attire, but this time her top was sleeveless. Her management team escorted her to the stairs then sat at the nearest table. Lilith made her way upstairs and toward the back where Zartan and Zandar sat with their beer. She pulled out a cigarette and offered one to the men. Zandar accepted, but Zartan declined and asked Lilith to sit. She accepted and used the candle on the table to light up.
"I understand you wanted to see me, yes?" Lilith flicked her cigarette to the side.
"Yes, I see your brother wasn't kidding us all this time!" Zartan stated. "You're definitely Dreadnok material if I've ever seen any! How did you----"
Zarana scurried over and interrupted by sliding an ashtray in front of Lilith.
"Don't flick your ashes on the floor!" Zarana scolded. "What are you trying to do start a bloody fire?"
"DO YOU MIND!" Zartan snapped loudly "We're having a serious meeting!"
"Get us some Jack Daniels and three shot glasses." Zandar said.
Zarana put her hands on her hips, frowned and turned to go toward the bar until Lilith asked what was the strongest booze in the place.
Zandar looked at Lilith wide eyed. "Are you serious?"
"Nothing but serious, how about that stuff the third shelf?" Lilith looked toward the bar.
The brothers didn't need to look to know Lilith was talking about the Outlander home brewed whiskey. Even Zarana exchanged looks with her brothers and was silent. No new comer ever requested a beverage that could make an elephant tipsy --- not immediately anyway. All were curious as to if Thrasher was telling the truth about Lilith being able handle all forms of alcohol like no one's business. Zarana brought back from the bar four shot glasses, the whiskey and brandy for herself.
Zandar poured the whiskey and sure enough Lilith tossed the beverage in her mouth as if she was popping a pill. The brothers never had a chance to chug their drinks because Lilith moved so quickly. All three leaders looked at the empty glass sitting on the table then right at Lilith.
"I take it you never witnesses a pro before?" Lilith said.
"It's not that we didn't, we ---um don't you feel anything?" Zartan asked.
"When Thrash told you I can handle my booze, he meant I am a rarity." Lilith said. "I have a high metabolism so I can drink the entire night and not get hungover because the alcohol just burns right up."
Zartan turned and said something to the man at the neighboring table while his siblings still surprised looked under the table and at the carpet. Frustrated Lilith waited until Zandar looked up, leaned slightly forward and blew in his face. The oder of the whiskey mixed with Lilith's mildly bad breathe made Zandar cringe. He fought to keep himself from loosing his beer while Zarana frowned at Lilith also feeling nauseated from the stench.
"Now do you believe I drank it?" Lilith said snidely. "I think I'll have some more."
Lilith snagged a clean glass from the table beside her and filled it. A few near by Dreds watched with the leaders as Lilith polished off the drink. Like always whether it was from her aura or doing something non human, a silence occurred, but was longer than other times. During the time Lilith finished her cigarette, talked with the Dred leaders, played a few games of pool and cards while downing some beer. A couple of Dreds waged a bet that Lilith would be drunk off her butt or would need medical assistance within an hour. When she learned of the bet, Lilith put her two bits in as well. Zarana ended up joining the trio out of curiosity if Lilith would actually hold up or that an ambulance may have to be called.
Two and a half hours later Lilith was still unaffected by her extreme alcohol consumption. Having had their macho egos crushed the wagers ended up having to pay Lilith for a Dreadnok record in being able to hold the nastiest booze for eternity. Because their bodies function on an entirely different plain, the Dreds would soon discover in time vampires can't get intoxicated or alcohol poisoning because they don't absorb the alcohol. To prevent dehydration though their bodies transport it to the urinary system to void it all out.
Lilith dismissed herself to the women's restroom leaving the Dred siblings to talk among themselves.
Those who survived the fight tournament were anywhere from having a mild alcohol buzz to throwing up outside or in the bathroom. A heated verbal argument turned into a physical fight between two rookie Dreds in the middle of the bar. Talk soared through the place once again in reference to Lilith. Thrasher and company were about to leap from their seats until Lilith exited the bathroom. She grabbed a couple of Dreds, exposed her fangs, growled and glared at them with her yellowish eyes and bloated brows. Thrasher immediately grabbed Lilith's arm with the sachet in his hand. The herbs inside momentarily rendered her powerless, but didn't harm her.
"Lilith let them go and cool yourself this minute!" Thrasher scolded. "As for you two tell your company the next person who even thinks of sticking his/her nose in my sister's business will answer to me!"
"We weren't here for the tournament we just wanted to ask her ---------" The bald man pleaded.
"All you need to know is that she's multi talented." Thrasher snapped. "Now if you don't mind we both have previous engagements! LILITH, now not later!"
Thrasher pulled on Lilith's arm until she was forced to let go. Like all loyal body guards, the Carpathians subliminally commanded the bald man and his friend to tell their company what Thrasher said. Meanwhile, Monkey Wrench noticed Lilith pass a mirror placed beneath the deer head trophy. He may have been buzzed but the redhead knew he wasn't hallucinating. Monkey took his beer walked toward the mirror and looked in it then at the corner table. The final time he looked in the mirror he noticed Torch leaving the table while Buzzer and Ripper remained behind. Monkey looked at the table and saw Lilith leaving with Torch while the other two Dreds remained seated. Monkey had to tell somebody, but how without anyone thinking he lost his mind? Then again ever since Lilith showed up other mysterious events had occurred. Monkey shuffled past people and tables here and there until he reached his table.
"I take back those cracks I made at that shit bag restaurant!" Money said to Ripper. "There wasn't any barricades this time. I saw Tom and both of you in the mirror, but I didn't see Lilith. Then I saw Tom leave the table with Lilith when I looked right at them, but when I looked in the mirror again I didn't see Lilith's reflection. Our boy left with------"
"Oh bloody hell William sit down and chill already!" Buzzer snapped. "You're just jealous because you had your arse whipped!"
"You've been drinking too much of that Outlander brew, no bleeding wonder you're seeing things!" Ripper added. "I already accepted Lilith is as human as we are!"
"Maybe so, but ------" Monkey was interrupted by a slap on his head.
"There's no competition to Lilith's being able to handle more booze than the average person! If you try to match her you'll bloody kill yourself!" Thrasher barked. "I agree mates William's had too much it's gone to his fucking head!"
"Sit down before you blooming fall down!" Buzzer said to Monkey.
Feeling the sour grapes of defeat, Monkey sat at the table and discreetly listened to a woman speaking to Heartwrencher about not seeing Lilith's reflection in the bathroom mirror. Like Monkey Wrench Heart also didn't believe the other woman's statement. There was also talk about Lilith's face meta morphing when she was angry, but no one believed the witnesses either.
