Knight's Dragon
Chapter 8: Death of a Dragon
As the sky brightened once again, Kitt woke startled that Karr was already gone. Normally Karr slept much later then he did. Looking towards the Stingray he noticed a small strip of paper laying on its hood. Moving closer Kitt noticed the paper was a paint sample of a metallic midnight blue that was almost black. Still curious as to where the other dragon had gone, Kitt began a small search of the grounds, his concern growing as he turned up no sign of Karr.
Michael stood at a window in his room watching the black dragon move over the estates grounds, wandering what he was looking for A light knock on his door had him turning towards it.
"Come in" He finished buttoning his shirt as Devon came in.
"Michael I'm afraid we may have a problem" Devons face showed a slight concern.
"Whats up?" Michael moved over to sit on the bed, waving his hand at a chair.
"The guards at the gate saw Karr leaving the grounds late last night. No ones seen him since" Devon ignored the chair and moved to look out the window.
"He left? Why would he do that?"
"I don't know. I thought we had made alot of progress with him." Devon sighed.
"I thought so as well, I'll go talk to Kitt see if he knows anything." Michael was already on his way to the door.
"Good luck" Devon followed him out, then made his way towards his office to see if Bonnie had found anything yet.
Michael entered the garage noticing that technicians were busy applying a coat of almost black paint to the Stingray. He glanced around and found Kitt standing near his own car, and went to him.
"Kitt wheres Karr?"
"I don't know Michael, he was gone when i woke, and i can't find him on the grounds." Kitt looked unhappy about this.
Michael sighed and leaned against the cars side, watching the technicians spread paint over the cars surface. "Devon says he left late last night."
"Michael he did seem a little upset last night, you don't suppose he went to Rianna?"
"He might have, Ill go see if Devon and Bonnies found out anything and see if they can get a location on her." He turned to leave, then glanced over his shoulder and his partner. "We will find him though, Kitt"
Kitt watched him leave then whispered so softly no one could hear. "I hope so"
Karr stood in the middle of an empty warehouse, watching in disgust as the red haired woman finished her demonstration of the lazer rifle she held. It had tore apart a car body and disenigrated it. He shivered slightly at the thought of it being used on a living being. At one time, such an idea would not have bothered him in the least. He had changed. And he wasn't quite sure he liked the change anymore.
Rianna turned towards him and raised the weapon till it was level with his eyes. "And now you see what will happen to you or your friends if you don't do as i ask"
"And just what is it you want of me?" Karr fought to keep his voice cold and devoid of emotion.
Her eyes narrowed. "I want you to go back to FLAG and bring me Bonnie Barstow"
"Why?"
"You don't need to know why. You just need to do it" She took a step closer and pressed the nose of the gun against his forehead, between his eyes.
Karr glared at her defiantly. "Tell me why first"
She sighed and lowered the weapon. "Fine. Once she is here, she will be forced to create more AIs. And with them i will rule the world."
Karrs eyes widened. "Your mad"
"Perhaps, Now go get her!"
"No" Karr backed up till he was against the wall of the warehouse.
She raised the lazer rifle and tightened her finger on the trigger. "You will. Or you will die"
Karr launched himself at her, spreading his wings wide. She fired, the bright red beam of light caught him in the chest, throwing him back. He landed hard, tried to stand but the world was swimming before him. He let out a roaring scream before blackness claimed him.
Clapping her hands to her ears, Rianna stared as the red dragon writhed in agony, then simply burst into smoke and disappeared. She sighed. She hadn't expected to have to kill him. However there was still another dragon out there. One she was sure would do what she wanted.
In the garage, Kitt shivered, feeling a sudden coldness seep over him. He was waiting for Michael to come back from going to see Bonnie and Devon. Shifting uneasily he stared at the now finished Stingray, wandering if Karr would ever get to see it. He turned his attention to his own car. He imagined being inside the car again, feeling it rumble to life, burst through walls and turbo boost over other vehicles. Shaking his head at his own thoughts, he turned away, not noticing the light that had begun to build up in the cars scanner. As he turned away however, it died out.
Michael rushed back in to the garage. "Ill be back buddy, we may have a lead."
Kitt moved forward immediately. "What do you mean?"
"Some people contacted the police thinking they had seen a large dragon entering a warehouse" Michael slipped inside the black car. Even though the AI wasn't in it, he could still drive it.
"Michael, I'm coming too!" Kitt was already moving towards the door.
"No, I'm sorry pal, but you cant. Not as a dragon" Michael shut the Trans-Ams door and shot out of the garage, leaving Kitt to glare angrily after him.
Kitt couldn't believe Michael had left him like that. He focused his attention on the car, as it sped down the driveway. Wishing he could stop it and bring it back. He jerked his head in complete surprise when he realized he could feel the cars response and saw it slow down. Focusing harder on the car, he began to feel more apart of it, and began to lose contact with his dragon body.
Michael reacted in surprise when he realized he no longer had control of the car. Turning to look behind him to where he had left Kitt, His eyes widened as he saw the dragon. Kitt almost seemed to be fading in and out, then there was a flash and the black dragon was gone. Michael turned to stare at the cars dash and was temporarily blinded as all the lights flashed on full force. The lights died out slowly then came back on one by one.
"Kitt?" He reached out a hand to gently touch the voice modulator.
There was silence for a moment, then it lit up slightly, the voice soft but angry. "Don't ever try to leave me behind like that again!"
Michael laughed in sheer relief. "Don't worry buddy, I won't."
"You'd better not"
Michael grinned and set the car in motion once again. "In any case its great to have you back where you belong. Think you can remember how it works?"
The cars control was suddenly wrenched from him as the car did a 180 degree turn. "Does that answer your question? And its definitely good to be back in here."
Michael straightened the car out and sent it into pursuit mode. "Lets go find Rianna and Karr"
