Chapter 10: A beautiful friendship

MechaGirain woke up from her knock out blow by the mob, she finds herself in the most unnerving situation ever, tied up to a chair in a dark room with only a single light bulb hanging above her. The room appears to be a small office room in the steel mill, probably the manager's office. "Damn you Ghidorah. When I get claws on you..." She grumbles, MechaGirain took a glance around her and see if there were anything that she can do. She lifted her tail up and tries to pick the lock, as she works, one of the thug suddenly came in, which makes her drop her tail to the floor. "What's the matter toots? Cat got your tongue?" The Italian moved closer to her, his hand was grabbing her chest plate, he trace his tongue around her neck. "Get your filthy hand off me!" she threatens him with a defiant glare, but he was not impress when he looks at her current condition, he moves his arm down to her private spot and gently feels the smooth and cold metal there. "Wonder what are you packing under them shiny metal pieces?" Before he can go further, his neck was pierced by MechaGirain's tail, the tip of her tail was covered with his blood. The Italian mob couldn't speak with his vocal chord broke, and when she retracted her tail from him, he slumped over and twitch for a few seconds before he completely froze and die. "I told you so." She said with a snarky tone. MechaGirain was able to find a key in the mob's pocket, and with it, she was able to escape from her predicament.

"I have to get out of here. But a little payback wouldn't hurt." She sneaks out of the office and find her way around the steel mill, the mobs were here and they were still on high alert. MechaGirain was hanging along the I beams of the structure, when she was was coming above a pair of goons, she overheard their conversation. "I heard that the boss plans to melt the chick. Right? What a waste since she's a hot one."; "Yeah, I feel you. What about the guy who brought her here? Is he still here?" the other asked. "Yeah the dragon is still here, for the time being. It sounds like the boss plans to have the dragon dispose of real soon. Probably by crushing him while he's in a car in the scrap yard or something like that." MechaGirain gently pass sneak across and slide down a pipe, she came down to a car where Ghidorah was being held in, just as she expected, Ghidorah was beaten to hell by the mob. He has bruises, cuts and bleeding noses. At least he was still alive. She snuck into the car and hot wire it, then she punches the gas and drive through the gates leaving the mob in smoke. "W...wh...what...j...just..." Ghidorah cough out some blood as tries to get back up. "Save it asshole. You're going to answer to your friendship." Eventually she got back to don Carlino and Kiryu. When they learned of Ghidorah's betrayal from, they were furious, especially Kiryu who felt like he's been played like a fiddle by his own best friend. At this point, Kiryu will have to let MechaGirain stay with him but as for Ghidorah, he will have to sleep with the fishes. Kiryu drove Ghidorah out to a scrap yard runs by the Carlino family. There, Kiryu pushes the car into a crusher, Ghidorah was tied up on his seat and he was still too dazed to know what was happening around him.

"Ghidorah, you remember the first thing I told you, when we first met?", Ghidorah cough and struggles to speak. "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship?" Kiryu was now standing by the control panel, he gave a very menacing glare to Ghidorah, "I take it back." He press the button on the panel and the car was slowly being crushed and with Ghidorah inside, he was crushed and compress inside the car's wreck. It was not business, it was quite personal for Kiryu to kill his best friend by coldly crushing him in a car. But of course, execution must come with compensation. At don Carlino's home, Megaguirus was weeping in front of the don when she learns of her boyfriend's death at Kiryu's hands. Don Carlino gave her a handkerchief and let her wipe her tears. "I'm sorry that it has come to this madam Megaguirus, but it seems that you have betrayed my generosity. You disrespect me, you disrespect my family and my friend. Have you forgotten who helped you made a career and dominate the railroad of this city? I gave you that power and now you sold my family kindness. And for what? Your boyfriend is gone, your wings are clipped, however, I'm willing to offer you a second chance." He place a piece of paper on the table and a ballpoint pen. "You sell me your rail line for the price of 20000000$, in exchange, I will give you a chance to start again in somewhere else. Maybe selling arts and crafts in Nevada with the local Apache or maybe tourism in Acapulco, Mexico." Megaguirus was forced to sign off her property to don Carlino. Even though she has lost her assets in the city. But at least the don has the decency to give her a chance to start a new somewhere far away from him.
