Dragons Lair pt 13
#13 of Dragons Lair
On Earth, in Area 51, the commander of the base was having a good day. The 2 subjects were revealing secrets and technology of their kind and he was up for promotion. He leant back in his chair and relaxed. He knew nothing could ruin his day, until 2 Dragons teleported into his office. He yelped and Michael threw him into the wall, knocking him out. Michael went over to the computer and tapped the keyboard gently with his claws before saying, "That's the fire alarm disabled. Let me check where they are."
Myra watched the door while Michael searched. "Found them. They're in the same section as us. I'm opening a route to them and sealing the other sections off from us."
The doors in all sections except the one that the Dragons were in started shutting. Michael took the commander, went out the door and turned right. Myra followed him and made sure no one attacked them from behind. They turned another corner and were seen by a squad of soldiers. They ran back round the corner and Michael spat at them. The soldiers dived out the way of the ball of fire and Michael ran back round. He slowly worked his way forward, knocking the troops out, but they didn't fire for fear of hitting the commander. Michael reached the end and gestured for Myra to come over. He gave her the commander and they entered the correct corridor. Michael counted the 4th one on the left and opened it. There were 2 Dragons on opposite sides of the room, both on operating tables. Michael went to one while Myra ran to the other. Without looking at Michael, the Dragon spoke, "I have told you already. I will reveal nothing."
"To who?" Michael replied in Draconian. The Dragon turned and burst into tears before hugging Michael, "You don't know how long and how terrible we've been kept here." Myra looked over, "Varek. Is Linx ok?"
"They tortured him so badly, he needs medical attention quickly. He is in a coma."
Myra looked at Michael and then at the commander. She leapt at the commander who gave a squeak as his neck was pinned against the wall. "Why did you torture Linx!"
"It was my job. We needed information."
"On who! They were scouts! They were meant to only look at your planet then leave!"
"No doubt before an invasion."
"AS A POTENTIAL ALLY!"
The commander laughed, "Lizards like you are always enemies."
"Why?"
"Because we got a transmission from a race called the Sleen who said you wiped out their planet with no mercy."
"The Sleen! They are a spineless and emotionless race. They blew up our planet you monkey!"
"Nobody calls me a monkey!" The commander screamed before trying to get free of Myra's iron grip. Myra roared and smoke started coming out of her nostrils. The Commander screamed as his neck was crushed. There was a loud crack and the Commanders body fell limp. Michael stared at Myra before looking at Linx, "I'll carry him."
Myra went to Varek and helped him stand up. The 4 reptiles slowly made their way back, all the soldiers either knocked out or hiding. They wouldn't risk being burnt alive. One soldier hid in the commanders office, hoping they didn't come in. If they did, it was a dead end and he would get a medal and a promotion for taking them in. As soon as the Dragons entered the room he sprung out of his hiding place and yelled, "GET ON THE GR-" He was cut off by the 5 of them teleporting back to the ship.
