Chapter 33
In a cold cage on the floor was Danny . He watched Dr. Spencer pace around with his lab assistants doing who knows what. He felt so vulnerable and helpless. Never had he thought that he would be treated so badly.
Danny's eyes wandered around and set on several dogs of different breeds caged in separate cages. They did not look happy at all. At least now he knew what it felt like to be caged like an animal.
Dr. Spencer was analyzing a chemical reaction taking place in a test tube when one of his assistants approached him. He tried to speak to Dr. Spencer, but he was too engrossed in what he was doing, so he shushed him. The assistant had no alternative but to stand there and wait to be given the chance to speak.
"Yes yes yes! I have developed the perfect formula. Now all I need is that one special ingredient!" Dr. Spencer exclaimed, "Where are those three?" his impatient eyes scanned the lab. "They are delaying my genius!"
The assistant cleared his throat. "They are here doctor." that's what he was trying to tell him earlier.
"Is that so? Let them in right now!"
The assistant was about to do so when Sean, Sheila and Bolt walked in. Sean had his usual annoying smirk whereas Bolt appeared bored. Sheila, on the other hand, was sucked into her phone caring less about the existence of those around her. Dr. Spencer grinned at them and ordered his assistant to leave to give them privacy.
"We got orders from the Great One to meet up here." Bolt began.
"This is something to do with the new mission I presume." Sean added.
"Hurry up and spill it. I don't have all day." Bolt impatiently said once more.
"Calm down my impatient comrade." Dr. Spencer smiled widely. He was too much in a good mood to let Bolt ruin it with his unruly behavior. "I will explain why you are here."
Dr. Spencer took off his glasses and sat on a stool. "As you know, I have been developing a weapon that can kill darkas gods. Darkas gods are immortal therefore killing them off completely is almost impossible. For over a ten thousand years our kind has faced off with these immortal beings. We have wounded some, put others into hibernation but never have we killed one. For five years now I have carried out a detailed research on darkas gods to know their weaknesses but unfortunately I found none. It was only until of late when I discovered that there is in deed a weakness."
"Do tell," Sean encouraged, intrigued.
"The strongest defense mechanism of a warrior darkas god is to summon dragons. Powerful this technique may be, it is also their weakness because dragons are the only things that can kill darkas gods." Dr Spencer concluded and the three vampires were astonished.
"You mean those pets of theirs can kill them?" Sean asked.
"Bullshit!" Bolt blurted out in disbelief.
"What I am telling you is the truth." Dr Spencer excitedly insisted.
"I don't get it. How are dragons able to kill them?" Sean asked, confused.
"They are able to do so because their biological makeup is made of a deadly venomous toxin known as natrifin. It can destroy anything made of gamarax. Natrifin is highly concentrated in the claws, scales and saliva of these beasts." Dr Spencer explained.
"You don't say." Sean grinned at him while Bolt stared at the scientist wide-eyed.
"So, this is where your mission comes in. You are to locate a silver haired girl and bring her to me. She has the ability to summon a dragon. I need a sample of that dragon's DNA."

The sound of musical instruments could be heard as the town's matching band took the streets. Several floats of cartoon characters followed them behind. It was comic con so people were excited.
Children and adults wore costumes of their favorite cartoon, movie and video game characters. Akirexer bumped into two boys dressed as Gumball and Darwin from the Amazing World of Gumball. They apologized to her and ran towards their mother shrieking in excitement.
Akirexer smiled at them and joined the crowd of people watching the parade. Because it was comic con, her Dark Star clothes didn't attract too much attention. Some people even thought that she was dressed like an assassin from a famous video game known as Assassin's Creed.
No one was even puzzled to see that she had pink eyes because they assumed that she wore pink contact lenses. Due to what was happening in her life, Akirexer completely forgot about comic con.
She remembered how she and Britney would cosplay as different characters of their favorite shows every year. She smiled to herself when she remembered the day Britney chose to dress up as Darth Vader.
Akirexer saw Sana and Sanuika from afar. To her surprise, they were dressed in provocative pussycat costumes.
"Oh wow look at how fascinating this is." Sanuika exclaimed as she marveled at the floats. "Sana look!" She pointed. "That one kinda looks like a Kremis."
"Keep it down Sanuika. I know this is our first Earth event but you have to get your shit together. You are attracting too much attention to us." Sana scolded her.
"Attention from who?"
"Those boys over there."
Sana pointed at four handsome 15-year-old boys with her eyes. They were all openly ogling at the twins. One waved at Sanuika and she shyly waved back.
"Are you crazy? Stop acting like a slut!" Sana aggressively whispered at her.
"A what?" Sanuika got angry. "You take that back! You are just jealous."
"I am not!"
"Yes you are!"
'I better not get the attention of these two. I have more important things to do.' Akirexer thought to herself and walked away unnoticed by the twins.
Akirexer felt that because the day reminded her so much of Britney, she had to find her grave. It was high time she paid her last respects to her. She felt that it was the best thing to do before she carried out her next move in her blood thirsty pursuit of revenge against Steve. Akirexer was making her way out of the crowd when she heard a strange voice say,
"There you are."
