Chapter 10: Uncoverings

"FBI! Everyone put your hands up!" Mikel said as they stormed into the room, only to find that no one was there. It was actually barren, except for a platform and a case containing the necklace. "There it is. Let's get it." Jake said before Mikel grabbed his tail to stop him. "Hold on." Mikel said as he got some spray out. When he sprayed, and nothing happened, Mikel motioned the all clear. As they walked toward the necklace, Mikel grew uneasy.

"This is too easy. How is this easy? Unless…" Mikel thought before he heard footsteps. "Jack. How nice to see you." Simms said, holding a gun to Mikel's face. "Hey!" Jake said before being held by guards in restraint. "Hmm..so you're the mole?" Mikel said in disgust before hearing another gun cock near the back of his head. "Actually, we both were." Pierce replied as he emerged from the shadows. "All clear." Pierce said in a walkie-talkie before everyone else came into the view. As Mikel looked at those involved, he noticed a faint body on the floor. He realized that it was the council, unconscious in their physical outlook. "Shit. We're fucked, Jake." Mikel said as they were held against the wall. "Ok, so do you have a plan?" Jake asked him. "One, but it may seem familiar to you." Mikel said as he broke free and made it a free-for-all. But, as soon as it started, it ended with Mikel wrapped up in chains. "Sphinx hair-it's in the chains." Mikel groaned before nearly falling unconscious. Jake looked on at the person, before a thought came to mind: "That only applies to…it cant be."

As Mikel looked on, Jake broke out and got to Mikel. "I thought you were dead." Jake said softly to him in his ear. "Nope. Thanks for the directions, asshole." Mikel said as he struggled to stay awake. In his blurred vision, he saw two figures, but couldn't figure them out as he passed out.

Later…

Mikel woke up, only to find himself strapped to chains on the wall, along with Jake. "What's going on here?" Mikel yelled before Chang came to him. "Relax, Andrews. This won't take long. Apparently, the only way the necklace can be used is if the right combination and incantation can be used, which only Mike had. As this seemed hopeless, the theory that he passed it to you is undeniable. Give me the code, or I'll kill him." Chang detailed before holding a spear to Jake. As Mikel looked on, he gave in due to the strength for one's loved ones. "Fine. You win." Mikel said as he gave in. "One condition though. Let him go, and I'll do it personally for you." Mikel added while looking at Chang. "How can I trust you?" Chang asked suspiciously.

"Cause I'm the only one, that's why." Mikel reminded as he smiled at them. After being released, Mikel went over to the Necklace of Chaos. As he looked at it, he tried to remember it in his head, but just as he got it, another gun was pointed at him. "What are you doing?" Pierce asked sternly as Mikel was unlocking the code. "Doing this, you lame-brained dumbass." Mikel said before having the necklace taken from him. "Is it done?" Pierce asked as he put the necklace on. "You'll pay for your betrayal!!" Chang yelled as she lunged for him. "Don't!" Mikel warned, but it was too late-the necklace had used it's power to kill Chang. As Mikel focused on her corpse, Simms forced him up. "Now, the incantation." Pierce said as he pointed the gun at him. "Alright. Tu canos se mite obliviatos!!" Mikel yelled as he kicked the gun from Pierce. Suddenly, the necklace then turned toward it's wearer, starting to make Pierce disintegrate before all their eyes. "What? No!!" Pierce yelled before he turned to dust, leaving the necklace in a pile of ashes. Mikel picked up the gun and shot Simms before he could use the necklace. As he picked it up and closed it, he felt a faint disturbance again. It was his "copy".

"Jake, don't listen to him. I'm the real one. He's a fake." The copy said, trying to frame Mikel into his trap. "Nice try, DD. You think I'm that stupid?" Mikel yelled as they stared. When the "copy" showed his true form, Mikel shrugged. "You know, you do a half-ass job in taking people out, you know that? I mean, yeah, I was dead, but I'm back." Mikel said, mocking him of his "power". As he saw him growl in anger, Mikel pulled out a special gun. "A special gun for a special killing." Mikel said as he aimed for him. As the Dark Dragon went for him, there was a sound of gunshot and slicing. Mikel's gun had hit directly into the chest and caused him to go down, but not before he sliced Mikel's chest again. Mikel watched his opponent shake, then relax into a eternal sleep…in other words, he killed him…again.

"You okay?" Jake asked him as he still stood there hung at the wall. "You know, you can melt them. I'm not in the mood." Mikel said as he walked off. Jake hurriedly broke the chains in order to catch up with Mikel. As they left, Jake asked him a interesting question. "What's going to happen now, since everyone thinks you're dead?" Jake asked which got Mikel thinking. "Who knows, Jake? Who knows?" Mikel whispered as they left the building.

Later…

"What happened? I feel like…what the hell?!" councilor Kulde said before looking at the carnage in the room. As the other council people woke up, he asked them if they knew about any of this. After hearing replies of no, he found a note left right beside him. On the note it read: Finally, something I did right for once.

Mike Long.

"Crazy dragon." He muttered as he got up and went to get out of this place. Groaning, the rest of them followed in dull fashion, only to not realize that the Necklace of Chaos was right near them, glistening near the ashes.

Ok, this chapter's done. One more and the story's done, thank God.
