With Every Black Cloud...
The general of IGA was in his office, secluded from the world outside, writing papers under a dim desk light. The air around him was warm and the general felt sweat move from his fingers down to the journal he was writing in, smearing some of his writing.
"I need to become one of them." The general said, quietly mumbling to himself.
The general felt his body unconsciously move from his chair and walk towards the lab Will was changed in. The metal walls echoed with every step as he walked towards the main computer up on the balcony, putting in the password to put the machine on automatic. The general grinned to himself.
We will fight dragon with dragon. He thought to himself and started to walk towards the chair as the machine's needles started to appear from the ceiling compartment above, looking at him menacingly. Thank goodness he was not afraid of needles. A red light shined brightly, warning anybody nearby that something was happening.
The general sat down on the seat, waiting for the needle to inject the gene into him. He not only put the gene for activating the gene inside a dragon but also the dormant gene of a dragon. He would not have to wait eighteen years to become one.
The needle brushed his arm and then injected, putting the gene inside of him. The general flexed his arm and felt the small pinch of the needle. The needle then retreated to its outpost above the ceiling, waiting for its next victim. The general on the other hand got up and rubbed his arm. He felt power surging threw him already.
Guards ran towards the room and the red light started to dim and the sound eventually shut off. The pitter patter of the guards running eventually entered the room where the general was sitting, laughing historically.
"What do you think you're doing general?!?!" said a guard, fear and curiosity in his voice. Scales started to form on the general's face and his eyes started to slit.
The guards watched in horror and awe as the general started to shift into a dragon form, his scales turning dark red and his chest started to buff out into muscles and started to flex. His arms started to turn into dark red scales and his hands started to grow outward, finger nails growing out and curving to form sharp claws.
The general's mouth started to move outward into a muzzle and he yelled as his teeth turned to fangs. The general fell out of the chair, the process almost complete as the scales on his chest, feet, and hand started to turn a dark black. His feet changed like his hands and a tail ripped through his army pants, swinging back and forth in the air as the general was leaned over on the ground, feeling his muscles flex and veins bulge outward. The general felt scales move over his private area and his pants started to rip but not break. He was shirtless now.
The general felt a pressure on his back and realized his wings just grew outward and started to move forward and back. The inside of the wings were tinted orange while the outside of the wings were a dark red. The general felt his energy back and he felt strong as he started to flex his muscles, feeling the power inside his voluntary transformation. The air seemed warmer now.
A guard walked up to the newly formed dragon and noticed the general not only grew outward but in size as well and topped the guard by almost two feet. The guard could feel the hot breath as the general exhaled steam, the sign that the general could breathe fire.
"Ha- how do you feel?" The guard stuttered as fear swept over his body as he realized that his general was a different person now.
"Fantastic." Said the general as his slit eyes looked into the guards. He knew he could lead these men into finding Will. "You know the drill. We find Will, we win this war." The general boomed to his men, feeling the energy sweeping through him.
"Sir yes sir!" The IGA guards replied, confused about the new general but confident nevertheless. "Good." Replied the general calmly. "Let's move out!"
Will walked down the city, eventually reaching a bar nearby called "Kings" and maybe he could get some info there. Will blended in perfectly with his green scales and yellow chest. He was wearing his ripped pants from before and his tee shirt which still fit him perfectly. He was in the slums in a city called Synosis, the remains of New York. Buildings were falling apart and people laid on the streets, begging for money. Will decided his best bet was to hit the bar and then find a more public place. The IGA were taxing people pretty heavily in Synosis and many people could not pay and had their home foreclosed.
Before Will walked to the door he remembered something his Dad Rob told him while his Dad was concealing his dragon form when he was young. That was when Will thought he was human. His Dad would tell him things about dragons when he read to him at night when he was little.
"Humans who realized they were dragons were called newborns." Said his Dad after telling a story when dragons ruled. "Earth was full of dragons until humans started to rebel, calling them hostiles and bad omens. The dragons were forced to go into hiding." The little Will nodded and looked down at his feet on the bed as he sat with his legs crossed.
"But why did the dragons have to go into hiding? They did not do anything." Said Will in a young innocent voice, his yellow eyes gassing up at his Dad waiting for a answer.
"I don't know son, but they are around at least that is what a myth says." And Will's Dad smiled.
Will felt himself being pulled back into reality as a bar tender snapped at him from the opposite side. "Hey, Newman you are looking a bit young to be in here." The bartender grinned as he polished a glass until clean. Newmans were dragon looking creatures from another distant planet called Narcha. The planet he was on was called Earth. He was in a town called Synosis, the remains of New York. He was caught in the slums.
Will realized he was sitting on a bar stool and noticed a human with a baseball cap on, blue tee shirt and baggy pants. He was drinking whiskey from the glass and Will could smell how strong it was. Will's wings flapped and he felt his tail move back and forth.
The walls around the bar were made of wood and so were the tables and chairs. The bar stools though were steel and had a pillow on top. Will rested his arms on the bar, his scales brushing lightly against the steel. A sign in the back blinked a purple glow that said "Kings" Will felt a distinct throbbing in his head and was getting strange signals from the man across from him.
"Hey, you going to buy something or not?" Said the bartender impatiently. His breath smelled of tobacco and alcohol. Will grinned and said, "Soda please." His fangs showing menacingly. The bartender blinked and put down the cup he was polished and walked to the back to get the soda.
Will noticed the man sitting next to him looked at him, his right eye changed into a bird like shape. A white aurora started to form around him and the man and circle around them in a oval pattern. The clock by the door started to move slower and then stop.
The man took off his cap and said "I never knew there was another one like me." Said the man in a deep calming voice. He must have been in his 20s. Will's eyes started to widen and said "What the hell do you want with me?" As Will started to realize that time was stopped completely. The man's mysterious right pupil was still stretched making it look like a bird.
"You will see." Said the man. The white aurora from before started to move out of its oval pattern and race towards the man, shrouding him in a cocoon of light. The white light was so bright, Will put a hand to cover his eyes. The light flooded the man and he started to glow, and blue scales formed across his body. They moved up his ankles and over every part of his body.
His feet transformed into a larger shape and his hands started to also. Claws started to form and his noise moved outward, forming a muzzle. White started to form on his chest, hands, and feet. Will felt the light lick his face and chest, giving a warm energy. The man started to look more like a dragon.
Will noticed a bludgeon like object forming in the back and noticed it was a tail and wings formed. A white tint was added to the inside while the outside was a medium shaded blue. The light started to die down and the man was no longer a man but a dragon. Will pushed his mouth back up where it belonged.
"That was....amazing!" Said Will. The man bowed, blushing as if he was never called "amazing" in his lifetime. The man's tail swung back and forth and he sat back down on the bar stool.
"The name is Jack by the way. Jack Claw. What is your story anyhow?" Jack said curiously as his wings fluttered back and forth.
Will told him his name and about everything that happened. About the general of IGA kidnapping him and injecting a gene into him that speeded up the process of becoming a dragon and how he was looking for answers and his parents.
"Ahh, that's a bad ending." Said Jack while he was picking something out of his right claw. "What is your power Will by the way?" Jack said while then noticing the bar stools could spin around and started to spin around aimlessly. His wings fluttered in the breeze.
"Power?" Said Will curiously, watching Jack spin around in the chair and eventually stopping himself.
"Ya, what can you do that no other dragon can do? Unless you have never discovered it." Jack said sadly. "I can read minds and stop time." Said Jack grinning and pointed to his eye like it was a trophy. "This is what helps me channel my power."
Will then looked around and noticed the white aurora was back and circling around them in a pattern. Will then had a million questions to ask.
"So how do you get powers?" Said Will curiously while getting up off of his seat and waving his scaly hand in front of laughing humans. No response, they were frozen in their own time period.
"I just figured out mine when I was about twenty. I am twenty one now. I got really sad when my father died and my eye turned out like this. My powers were found through bad experiences." Said Jack as he started to raise bar glasses and drop them to only find them floating and not hitting the wooden bar below.
Will then felt another question come into mind. "What about Newmans? Can they get powers to?" Jack shook his head. "Newmans look like a dragon and can fly but they can't even breathe fire or get powers like us. We are unique and are in hiding for now. The IGA from what you said are probably trying to find dragons and kill them to steal their genes to make an army. They can then rule the world and maybe the galaxy." Said Jack worryingly. Will was still experimenting with people to see if they will budge even a little bit but never did.
"So I am guessing you are powerless?" Said Jack as he watched Will cut people's hair with his claws. Will looked up and smiled. "Nope." As he started to give the human he was near a nice haircut. Jack grinned, "Perhaps then I can train you? I know a good place where we can go." Will could not say no for an answer.
Will finally found a new friend that shared the same experience of being a dragon as him. Will felt a serenity finally pass over him as he thought about how many more dragons were in hiding just under his claws.
