The Quest - Book 2 Ch. 1
By Eliad Sholomovich

Ryu and the group walked down a long street full Of cars and people. The crowded streets were a refreshing change after the medival forest and monsters.

Chunli smiled and breathed the fresh air. "Now this is more like it. Technology and concrete.No more monsters that god only knows who had the sick mind to create"

Ken grinned from ear to ear. "I can relate to that thought alright" Then Ryu suddenly pushed Chunli to the side and rolled aside. "Hey Ryu what are you do.." Ken mumbled before a loud crashing sound was heard.

A 6 foot tall Figure landed on the sidewalk exactly were Ryu and Chunli were standing just a minute ago. It was humanoid in body except it had a dragon's head and large gleaming white talons on its fingers and feet.

It opened its mouth full of white gleaming teeth. Its eyes glowed in red light but it wasn't like fire it was artificial like a lamp.

Then fire amassed in its mouth and it shot a stream of fire at Chunli."Chun NOO!" Ryu shouted and pushed Chunli aside. Ryu absorbed the fire instead and was hurled into the wall. He slumpted to the ground his chest scorched and blood now smearing his new clothes.

"Ryu Noo!" Chunli screamed and ran to his side. She held his head. He was panting and his breathing ragged. "Don't worry Ryu we'll take care of you just hold on" she said.

The dragon lunged forward swiping his claws towards Ken. Ken sidestepped and tried to kick the dragon's back. a clanging sound was heard. Ken raised a brow."What the h*ll?" he asked.

Then he noticed something he looked at the rays of the moon. They shined on the man's body reflecting everywhere. "He's covered in armor" Ken shouted.

The dragon kicked Ken with such force he flew backwards threw the glass window of a nearby shop. The glass shattered cutting into Ken's back. The alarm starting ringing.

The Dragon approached Chunli and Dan a wicked smiled on his face. He opened his mouth and his eyes glowed in red fire amassing in his mouth. But this time a giant blast of blue energy slammed into his back.

The dragon flew forward and fell to the ground on his knees. His back armor was melted and circutry showing. Greenish brown fluids dripping from the wound.

He turned around and looked at someone his eyes red with a hateful gaze.

He growled "X. Stay out of this hunter" The figure named X stood his right arm was shaped like a black barrled cannon and smoke came out of it. He was 5'7 and looked very human like except his fists and feet were too large to be human.

He had a metalic bodyarmor colored in white with dashes of blue and red on some of it.He had a rocket thrusters under his feet.

X was dead serious he aimed the cannon at The dragon again. His armor color changed to green and white. "Leave them alone Dragoon or you now what'll happen" X warned. "Never hunter" The dragon shouted and lunged at X surrounded with Fire.

X jumped and dodged the lunge and spun in midair with lightning fast speed while shooting a green projectile of swirling energy from his arm cannon.

It hit Dragoon's back. He was stunned. X dashed forward. His thrusters making him sail to him cutting threw the air creating a swishing sound.

X bashed into Dragoon with his shoulder.A loud clang of two clashing metal was heard. Dragoon was catapulted into the wall with great force and it crumbled onto him.

Dragoon threw the rubble off him. He looked up and saw X's cannon stuck in his face. "For the last time, haul your sorry behind out of here before I send you back to your master in pieces. you traitor" X said in a menacing tone.

Dragoon gulped and teleported away in a power ranger red beam fashion. X them looked at the Sf fighters. Chunli and Mariko were next to Ryu while Dan and Mel checked on Ken. His green eyes full of anger. "D*mn I hate those mavericks"

He touched his temple and looked spoke into his arm where his comm-unit was. "Doc send a medi-team to WW1 st we've got wounded humans".
