Bab 26: Assassin!
Meanwhile back at Raja's palace he was fuming, breaking things and beating up his guards and servants. Raja was mad that he had to retreat from that battle, not only did he lose respect from his men but his partners also. The other two that went to war with him, the King and Queen told Raja to stay away from them because they had suffered some losses in this war, while the Phoenix clan didn't lose a single member due to their special ability of rebirth.
It was then that something clicked in Raja's head as he thought he should hire a professional assassin to kidnap the seed of the late dragon king and have him bring him to see whether he would be able to extract the fruit from Drazon. Raja started laughing as he thought of this plan, he knew that there were some creatures that did this for a profession and trained hard towards assassination or anything that dealt with stealth.
When he thought of stealth one creature came to his mind and that was the fast Cheetah clan. They were the fastest creatures in this world and were able to get the job done quickly by going in and out so it would be pretty easy for them to get into the Scorpion territory to kidnap one little dragon and bring him back to him.
Raja called his Kingsguard as he gave orders to go contact the cheetah clan in order to do a job for him. After a few days, one of the cheetah clans members showed up to the Phoenix clan as raja started giving him information about his target. Raja told him that the target would be a red dragon and the only red dragon in the Scorpion territory.
He was to bring him back alive causing the cheetah to frown because he didn't like carrying people along with him, it would slow him down a little bit but he knew that if the reward was worth it, he could do it in a short time.
The cheetah then asked what he would be receiving for doing this mission causing Raja to smile as he said" you will receive a Phoenix fruit. The cheetah got excited as he said: "nice doing business with you my name is speed and I'm the fastest cheetah in my territory so you lucked out this is a 100% guarantee that I will bring you back this guy".
Raja said," that's what I like to hear so go on when you finish I'll reward you with what I promised you". Speed nodded and then disappeared from Raja sight, Raja was shocked by this as he couldn't sense him anymore as he was long gone. Raja got excited at the thought of finally being able to get rid of the Dragon King's last seed and any kind of future and problem.
That night Raja celebrated as he thought that finally I'm free and hopefully I'll be able to obtain the essence from the fruits that the kid devoured, meanwhile Speed was prepping himself as he ran straight through the desert full speed ahead and within a few hours he had reached a desert unlike other people it will take at least a day and a half to get to where the Scorpion territory was but Speed was able to get there in a few hours.
After speed had arrived at the Scorpion territory he got himself a small spot to stay at and gathered information because he needed a getaway route in case he would get caught. He heard that there was a tournament being held so he decided to go check it out.
On this day they were starting the finals as it was Drazon versus Sim. Everybody around the territory had come to watch the final match as the place was overcrowded. Drazon stepped on the stage as people started cheering him on.
Speed was surprised to find his target right away, normally his targets would be hiding but this Drazon was in front of the whole territory. Drazon had no idea of the threat that loomed over his head as he was waving back at the crowd while smiling. When Sim came on stage the crowd went even wilder as he was from the territory and most people wanted to see him win the whole tournament.
The kingsguard that was overseeing the match announced the start of the battle while hyping the crowd. Drazon and Sim charged towards each other and surprisingly they ran past each other without striking each other surprising the crowd and confusing them as they thought where is the blood and where are the hits.
Drazon smirked as he said "you're quite observant" causing Sim to laugh and say" and you're quite fast". They both turned around and charged towards each other once again. This time to Drazon made a fireball in his hand and threw it at Sim who made a sand ball attack and threw it at the fireball diffusing it as he slid under Drazon.
Drazon saw this and jumped up in the air which was a bad move because Sim had stopped and got his stinger ready to strike Drazon in the back but Drazon deflected his stinger using his own tail as they both backed off each other in order to start another round of attacks.
Just when they were about to attack each other once again the ref came and stopped them and said" this round is over guys go rest up for the next round will start soon", everybody was confused by this because this was the first time they were doing that. It seemed like a boxing match but these creatures had no clue what boxing was so how they figured to make rounds nobody knows but King Spar was the one who enforced this new rule.
King Spar thought that the battles, especially the final battle should be longer and should be split up into different rounds to give the crowd more entertainment. Drazon went to sit in the corner as he rested for a bit while Sim stood in place waiting for the match to start back up again.
The five minutes had finally come and they were back at each other's throat launching attack after attack but they couldn't get the edge on each other as by the time they hit the fourth-round they were breathing heavily. Drazon had struck Sim once but Sim hardened his skin as Drazon had gotten a little hurt from attacking the rock hard body of Sim.
Drazon breathed a powerful fire breath on him but it was not effective as Sim always bathe in the heat and was used to the heat so Drazon ruled out the use of any kind of fire attacks as he tried his electric attacks and that was also not effective, as soon as currents were all over Sim he would let the ground absorb the electric currents.
