Now Judy had never wanted to become the Brimstone Dragon,superheroine
and terror of supervillains around the world,but life
seemed to always put her where she had to save members of
her former species.
Over the next six months after the train wreck,there were increasing
reports in the Natinal Expose from people who claimed that scaly
little people,bat winged fairies had rescued them from rock falls during
hiking accidents in the hills of NE england.Usually afterwards
the grateful hikers found their wallets had been cleaned out.
Judy experimented with that merge spell she had first tried out at the
train wreck.She wanted to be a small 2 legged mammal so she could go
out and by the furs,jewellry a girl wants.Merging small nubers of adult
munchkins didn't work,she usually ended up looking like a 7 foot tall
munchkin.So she tried merging just fertilized and laid eggs and with a bit of
practise found she could get the unformed young to take on any number of appearances.
She tried to reclaim the look of her old human body but found there was always
something off.She might look stunningly beautiful but would have a long pair of
dragons horns emerging from her skull or huge bat wings or a scaly armour
plated tail swishing behind her rump.On a Tuesday she had emerged from the merging spell as Judy
with a diamond studded dragons tail.She robed herself to hide the tail
and headed to Dracyn Workshops with a gift.They had created her and she
figured she owed them one.
Over the same period Dracyn Workshops had gone into a serious decline.The
shipment of figurines hadn't been insured and five years of hard labour
had gone up in smoke.The recievers of the other 10 shipments of unfinished
Brimstone Dragon figurines were refusing to pay and refusing to return the
shipments.They were hoping Dracyn Workshops would go bankrupt so
they wouldn't have to pay.And bankruptcy was a very real possibility for Dracyn.
As the seven employeees sat glumly in the big shed they also had to deal
with the fact that 3 months earlier their creditor,a mafioso type with a thick russian accent
had demanded payment immediately,or else.
Well they couldn't repay him.
The Mad Russian,supervillain extrordinaire was having a much better
Tuesday.After 3 months he'd decided to make an example of Dracyn Workshops
in his own special way.He'd had loaned money to many small arts and crafts shops
in the area and couldn't let Dracyn get away with not paying.
His own special way was to have 20 big goons in big overcoats
and big cars and thick foreign accents drive up to the target.Round everybody up
and while the Muzak system blared out Barney the Dinosaurs signature tune
"i love you'you love mewe are one big happy family' insterspersed with the latest Spice Girls
hit to drown out the screams and gunfire,to step forward,produce burp guns and
machinegun everybody with wad cutters.As a final touch,the killers
left a signed photo of Barney in one of the victims pockets.
That was the trademark of the Mad Russian.
That early Tuesday morning,whilst a robed figure walked into Dracyn Workshops
5 big black ladas were just pulling into the parking lot to carry out the
'
Mad Russians wishes.
