"Ok, then let us begin. This won't take too long." [b]Two of the soldiers start to work on the dragon, using an array of strange fluids and gels for an unknown purpose.[/b]
-
-
"Ok, I should be done with that. Tubbs, this may feel a bit odd, but it is necessary. Now open your mouth wide."
-
I'm normally the one saying that... [b]he opens his mouth[/b]
-
[b]The soldiers pour a sweet tasting liquid down Tubbs throat.[/b] "You may lose consciousness for a brief moment, but that is fine. Now, we need to let that liquid settle for a bit. Then, we are all good to go."
-
[b]he passes out like you said might happen[/b]
-
[b]The two soldier drink an identical liquid, and then upon the maw of the dragon, which by now was quite... stretchy.[/b]
-
[b]Tubbs wakes up and follows[/b]
-
[b]The first soldier jumps down the large dragons throat.[/b] "After you."
-
Ugh... [b]Tubbs jumps in[/b]
-
[b]The throat is much larger than Tubbs might have imagined. It was also much stickier and slimier. Whatever the two soldiers had done to the dragon, it must have lowered the dragon's overall solidity. Tubbs landed in what seemed to be the stomach, which was also much larger than what he might have imagined.[/b]
-
I never thought I'd see this... got any souvenirs?
-
"Uh, I have some goofied dragon intestinal fluids. What we did was turn the dragon's body into a sort of gel like substance, removing all harmful acids and making the ride down much easier. Now that everyone is in, we should be ready to go." [b]The second soldier comes down and pulls out a remote control. He presses some buttons and the dragon starts moving were he wills it. They slowly start their journey down the hall.[/b]
-
Woah...
-
"Pretty cool, huh? And now we are officially... outside radio length! We can now talk about Fortis without him knowing." "What should we talk about first? His plan for the dojo, or project exodus?"
-
Dojo plan?
-
"Ok. But first, some backstory. We are not loyal to Fortis. We were at some point, but eventually he turned... cruel. He started plotting wicked things. He has set bounties on multiple of the dojo' most powerful members. Destanius tried to talk him out of it, but he threw Destanius into some strange chemical vat he was experimenting with. Audax is programmed never to question higher authority. So now, no one can stand up to Fortis once he gets his hands on the relic. We have to stop him. Ok, now for the dojo plan. Fortis knew that the dark creatures attacking the dojo would come. He just chose the dojo to hide because he knew that they could hold them off long enough. He never actually cared for anyone in the dojo. Any other questions?"
-
... [b]he looks mad[/b] So... he... Fortis, knew they would come and screw up the Dojo? And he... Fortis, set bounties on Dojo members? Was a bounty on my head?
-
"Well, he only set the bounties for a day or two. After that he took them down for some reason. But yes, there was a bounty on your head."
-
How much?
-
"Whoever hunted you down would have their own battalion, fleet, and the title of second or third in command. They would also get their own moon. Audax was about to take up the bounty, but it was taken down just a day before he was set to leave. The reason the bounty was taken down was because of the arrival of those dark creatures. So, in a way, both your life and your death are a result from them."
-
I meant, how much was he paying to have me killed?
-
"We Mechonus don't tend to use a currency. We use possessions to pay people. If you were to translate all those things into money, it would be worth a few quintillion dollars for just the fleet alone. The title is priceless, and the moon can vary in price from time to time. Also, you must understand. Mechonus do not crave things like movies or TV for entertainment, war and battle is what we want. So what may seem like a few glorified hunks of metal to you is the best thing we can have."
-
It'd only translate to a quintillion? I'M WAY MORE THAN THAT!
-
"That was just the ships, though. The moon, army, and title are much more."
