Chapter 8: The Brit and the Dragon
"I can not believe this is happening!" Greg yelled over the chopper's blades. "Well, it is! So live with it!" Jinx yelled back at him. "But, come on. I don't want my merchandise to be wiped out!" he shouted. "I'll make sure Blood replaces everything!" Python yelled. "You better! Fifty seven million dollars in merchandise doing to the bottom of the ocean! It took me seven years to get all of that stuff!" Jinx turned to Python and asked," Did we really have to save him?" "Hey, he's cool. I wouldn't have gotten you out of that little problem without him."
It was a week after the rescue of Jinx. Her and Python were now going steady. But, more to the point, Blood had finished his weapon. The device was designed to create a seismic charge that would create a tidal wave big enough to destroy Jump City. Jinx, still hating Cyborg, wanted to see the city from a more "scenic" view to witness its destruction. So, Python and her got a chopper from Blood, picked up Greg, and moved over the city to see the chaos take place.
"Here we go!" Jinx yelled with an excited tone in her voice as she looked out the side window. Greg and Python looked out the side to witness what was going on. A beam of blue energy had shot out of the water and into the air. As it went up, a shockwave emitted from it to all sides. This resulted in a giant tidal wave being formed. The wave then started to move straight towards the city. "It's finally going down!" Jinx yelled. She was talking about Titan's Tower, which was in the path of the wave. But, just when it was only a few feet from the Tower, it suddenly collapsed into itself. The wave then settled back down into the ocean as a large explosion then erupted from where the beam had shot out from. The area then became very calm.
"What the hell?!" Jinx cried out as she dropped back in her seat. Greg, however, was a different idea on this mind. "Oh, thank you!" he yelled, pumping his fists into the air. "I really want to throw you out this chopper right now!" Jinx yelled, shaking her fist in his face. Python started to smoke on a cigarette and said," You two argue like your related." "Okay, if I was related to him, I'd die," she began. She noticed his smoking and then added," and will you please stop that! You'll kill yourself!" "And what about crack head over there?" Python said as he pointed to Greg. "I don't give a rat's ass about him," she said," I don't want you to get lung cancer or anything." "I know you care about me, but…"
Python was cut off as Jinx's communicator went off. "Probably Blood with news on his defeat." Python said as he blew a puff of smoke into the air. Jinx flipped open the communicator and asked," Hello?" the screen remained black as a voice with a strong British accent said," Good say. Is the one called Python there." Jinx asked, "Who are you? How did you get this frequency?" "Just put Python on the line." The voice commanded. Python took the communicator from her and said," This is Python, go ahead." "Come down to the parking garage downtown and let's just say we will give you something in return. Have a good day." Python shut off the communicator and handed it back to Jinx as he said," You heard him. Let's go. And I thought I'd get bored."
After dropping off Greg back at his house, Blood then gave a message via Jinx's communicator. He reported that he was heading east to prepare for his next plan. But, he couldn't send anyone to get them, so they were left to their own devices. "He was help." Python said as they walked up to the top floor of the parking complex. "You have to respect him more. He brought organization to us and he will lead us into a brighter future." Jinx responded. "Well, you have to say, he just seems as though he doesn't care for his students. They just act like zombies every time he's around, like he has some sort of control over them." "I have no idea what you are talking about," she said," and why didn't just use the fricken helicopter instead of having the pilot fly it back to Blood?" "We don't want to bring attention to us." He answered. "Bring attention to us. I'll bring attention to us if the twelve block hike here was for nothing." She said.
As soon as they reached the top of the garage, a voice in a British accent called out," Glad to see you have made it." In front of the two was a black, four-passenger convertible. Two people were in front the parked vehicle, looking straight at them as the front light's turned on. One was an old man wearing glasses and had a bald spot with white hair around it on his head. He wore a two piece suit with a tie that was imprinted with the Union Jack and was holding a cane to support him. The man next to him was Asian and wore a white biohazard suit with a white hat on top. Black goggles blocked his eyes and he was holding a PPK in his right hand. "You better put that thing down old man. We don't want you to hurt yourself." Python said to the Asian. "I am more then capable of firing this sidearm, he replied," had I had my old technology, I could be more effective." "We are in the same boat my friend," the British man said as he held out his hand to the two, "allow me to do the introductions. I am…" His hand was then grabbed by Python and shaken. Python said," I now you. You're Mad Mod. Tried to take over Jump awhile back with the whole England domination thing and hypno screens. Lost to the Titans though." "Don't remind me." Mod said as he broke the handshake. Jinx then said," And you're Professor Chang. You use to smuggle Simon for other guys, decided to do it yourself, and made an energy cannon. But, Titans came in a wiped the floor with you." "I should shot you right now." Chang said. "Just try." Python said as he pushed back the left side of his jacket, revealing two dockers' clutches on either side, each holding a Colt pistol. "I have to agree with him to lower your weapon Chang," Mod said," we don't want to kill him since we need him."
"So Anyways, I'm here. What do you need me for?" Python asked. "Well, first of you may be asking yourselves about why myself and Chang have teamed up." Mod stated. "Because you're both loser geniuses who lost to the Titans?" Jinx remarked. "No!" Chang yelled," it is because of the truthful fact of being deceived." "What do you mean?" Python said. "Well, while I make my technology and Chang sells his, all shipping is handled by our client." Mod then produced a picture from his jacket and handed it to Python. He looked at it and saw a thirty-year-old with shaggy black hair and blue eyes. "It was simple. We give him money and he gets us the parts for our technology from others, Chang said," but the supplies he gave us sadly were failures, as shown from our defeats. We wanted our funds back, but sadly, he refused to give us a refund." "So how does this involve us?" Python asked. "We want you to kill him. We are willing to pay you whatever you want." "Can't turn down some cash," Jinx said," where would we find him?" "Probably at the Casino, gambling our funds away." "Very well. Good evening." Python said. And with that, him and Jinx headed off.
Jump City's Casino was one of the many places to be. The multicolor lights of the building glowed with radiance down on the gamblers. Slot machines, Crapes Tables, blackjack. You name it they probably have it. A bar was kept well stocked as to give them the drinks they needed to satisfy themselves. So whatever the reason, for gambling or for drinks, the night goers of the city could fins it here. "Nice place here." Python said. "Yeah, but you wouldn't believe the scum that can come through here. Jinx said. "So, where do we find him?" Python asked. Just then, they heard yells of joy from a crapes table. And there, his hands in the air, was the target.
"His winning streak is going to end." Python said as he watched the man threw dice onto the table and make those around him yell as he got a good roll. Python reached for his sidearm, but Jinx put her hand on his arm and said," No. If you fire that off, we go to jail. And I really don't want to go to jail." "So how do you propose he dies?" Python asked. "Just watch." Jinx said as she raised her hand slightly and pointed out her index finger at the man's hand. As he threw the dice and they were only a few inches from his face, Jinx fired a small hex beam from her finger. It hit the dice, sending them shooting at the man with incredible force. They shot threw his forehead and out the back, stopping as they hit a slot machine behind him. One of the spectators screamed as blood poured from the holes in his head and he fell face first onto the table. "He got the crapes." Jinx said as the in the building started to panic. "Cliched," Python said," but God, I am loving you even more." "Save that for later on." Jinx said as she winked at him and smiled. The two then walked out of the building, but didn't notice the two hiding in the hallway near them. "They did it." Mammoth said. "Yep," Gizmo began," and its time the two love birds become jail birds."
Chapter 9 is coming soon!
