Chapter 23 – The two witches clash

In the middle of an unknown room is Fenrir. He is chained from all directions by his neck and limbs. He did not resist though as he is very used to it by then. All the Rumblewing could do is look angry at the metal doors in front of him.

The metal doors begin to open up to reveal a disappointed Melissa walking up to him. The more she walks up, the more the Dragon gets very angry at her for what she had did to him. Fenrir always thought he could trust her when he was young but now he is chained up helplessly looking at her walk around him.

Melissa seems to be inspecting him for certain progress. She takes out her board to write up whatever she needed to write. She walks up to face him one more time with a blank face. "Such a shame that it came to be this way. If things could just get even worse… My own sister have just turned on me" She tells him as the scene shift.

(Thirty minutes ago)

"Shut down? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE MP ELIXER PRODUCTION!?" Melissa shouts at Ashley who is making a stand. The two sister are in the Magi Prime HQ, the CEO office.

Ashley had enough of her ignoring her. What she is doing is not just for her dragon anymore, it is for the suvivial of the human race.

"I have enough evidence that the elixers are turning people into more dragons! I have it here!"

Ashley takes out her touch pad to turn it on to show her sister her research. Melissa picks it up to see the human DNA strands getting attacked by the more powerful dragon DNA.

"When people are exposed to the elixir for too long, the dragon DNA that are inside them would eventually not only merge into her genetics, it also kills off any strand of Human only to be replaced the Dragon DNA replicating itself to connect."

Melissa walks around with her pad as Ashely explained. She slowly puts it down on the desk with her eyes closed. And whispered something very low.

"What was that? Speak up!" Ashley demands her sister, slamming her fists.

"I KNOW ABOUT IT!" Melissa finally lets the cat out of the bag. Alshey walks backwards with a face of disbelief. She just heard sister confess that she knew about people turning into dragons.

"How. Long. Have. You. KNOWN ABOUT THIS!"

Melissa walks up to a TV Behind her and presses the button. The screen shows an entire globe, the world filled with yellow dots that indicate humans who have the elixir inside of them.

"For every patient we treat, we keep records for each one. This data claims around 97% of the population has it. During the early days our production have sky rocketed by 50%. With more people demanding more and more we lost track on how many have it right now. One day we got reports of the same people disappearing only for dragons to take their place. We took each one and with our best minds discovering that the dragons we hunted were indeed our patients so we tried working on a cure."

"Was it succesfull?" Ashley asks her

"Our Elixirs are not some virus that could be cured dear sister. We are talking about pure DNA that adapts itself. When foreign DNA merges, it becomes a part of you. We tried many methods like making potions but our potions is unable to reconigze the dragon DNA because the DNA becomes part of you." Melissa answers.

"So you stopped trying to find a cure?" Ashley raises her brow.

Melissa turns around to look at her.

"I am afraid we did. All that we could do is to capture anyone who has turned into dragons in order to protect our reputation."

Ashley thinks about the revelation. Then it hit her.

"That means Thor was innocent. Was he?"

Melissa did not say a word. She stayed quite while Ashley start to fume with inpatience. Out of nowhere she grabs Melissa by the collar and slams her on the wall.

"YOU KNEW HE WAS INNOCNET! YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS INTERFERANCE TO FRAME HIM!"

Melissa pushes Ashley off her with her telekinessus blast.

"Innocent or not! He still violated the rule of not being seen! That you know Ashley"

Ashley picks herself up. She just had it withi Melissa's stubbornness. In her thoughts she remembers her time at the archives about the Wizard's code, a set of rules for the Magi society to follow. One thing for sure she is the Vice-President, It is time to challenge her insane sister.

"Melissa…I had enough of you ignoring me! Ignoring the issues that we face! Now are species are on the verge of possible extinction which is why by my right as Vice-President I invoke the trial of Anulment, challenging your authority as President CEO."

"HOW DARE YOU!" Melissa snaps jabbing her left hand which turns out to be prosthetic making electric sparks, "You dare challenge me to take my role?"

Ashley walks up to Melissa, tip toes up to her eye level to say, "When I take your role, I am going to get this company to work on a cure by any means, I will change rules to allow me to tell the people the truth, and most importantly I will guide this company back to its original purpose! I will see you at the trial at Friday afternoon." With that she storms out of the office leaving Melissa in fumes.

Melissa walk back to her desk to look at her prosthetic arm that replaces her old arm since it was bitten off by the dragon she trusted. First the dragon, now her own sister betrayed her in two different ways.

(Present time)

Back in the room, Melissa opens up her eyes to face the Rumblewing who only growls at her.

If Fenrir, the Rumblewing could say anything in human speech he would tell you that she got what is coming to her. But he does not have the intelligence enough to go beyond dragon speech. What he could do as he watches the human walk back through the doors is to mentally vow that she will pay one day.

Once the human woman left the room. Red lights flash to reveal that he is inside the private surgery room with machines about to conduct their monthly experiments on the poor dragon.

What sort of experiments are they doing to Fenrir? That will be under your imagination. Looks like Ashley is going to challenge her sister hoping to save humanity. The better question?

Is it already too late?

The next chapter, Thor decides to attempt to take over Tyr's Alpha ship for a personal plan of his. Stay tuned.
