Ang Dragon ni Jennifer

Fierce Fiends Frenzy

How could you not be angered when someone inflicts damage upon your family?

Unknown to many, is that somewhere around Amber Falls, Purok New Jersey, Ozamiz City, there remains a community of the lost ones' race. Of what was left of them, they strived to build peace anew. No thoughts of revenge. No hard feelings. That's what I thought...

Ni-assemble ni G, Hukagi ng mga dragon, ang isang buong army ng mga freedom-thirsting and revenge-seeking reptiles. Once upon a long time ago, their race was subjected to a version of World War II’s Holocaust. Lives were wasted in the irrationality of scheming businessmen. They’ve watched the slaying of families and friends. They were chased like murder fugitives despite their blind inability to fight back. They hid like little rats, cowering in holes and burrows. They burned no home, ate no child, harmed no adult and yet, their noble race was humiliated.  With all those enumerated above, if you were a dragon who witnessed the cruelty in that time, will you ever live without resentment? Will revenge satisfy the anguish? Why are there so many questions already? Is this the end of the chapter?

"I sent Miruto to bring home our captured friend," bulong ni G sa sarili. "And for him to see the monstrosity of the humans. He will understand my anger."

Itinaas ni G ang kopya niya ng Death Note Manga at winika ang paborito niyang linya ng paborito niyang karakter na si Mello. “In the end there is no greater motivation than revenge.”

Nag-hiyawan ang mga dragon at kinanta nila ang kanilang national anthem, I knew You were Trouble by Taylor Swift.

Meanwhile in a hidden tower…

Jennifer woke up lying on a cold stone floor. Inaalala niya ang mga pangyayari bago siya na napadpad sa lugar na yun.

May batang babaeng nangingisay at nagbububulong in a husky voice. Nagkayakapan sila ni Miruto sa pag-aakalang ang nasasaksihan nila ay possession nang biglang tumigil ito, tumayo na parang wala lang at nagtanong, “Nasaan ang C.R.?”

So ni-plug niya lang pala ang kwento kung saan siya nanggaling – Tatlong Aksidente.

Matapos ay nagdisappear na siya amongst the trees and bushes.

Napalingon muli sina Jennifer at Miruto sa bush kung saan sumulpot ang babaeng may bangs, yumuyugyog na naman ito. At mula roon ay gumulong palabas si Governor at ang kanyang mga kampons.

Napatalon sa saya si Jennifer. Finally makakauwi na siya. Si Governor ay kakampi ng kanyang Daddy at sobrang bait nito sa kanila.

“Seize the Dragon! Seize the whore!” sabi ni Governor.

Napatingin sa buong palibot si Jennifer dahil hindi niya mapagtanto kung sino ang tinutukoy na ‘whore’ ni Governor. Nasilid na siya sa isang malaking net bago pa man niya na-realize na siya nga yung tinutukoy ng mga salitang yun.

Makakatakas noon si Miruto. Dragon na nga siya, ninja pa siya, net lang hindi niya pa kayang takasan?

Pero dahil sa kabig ng concern niya para sa newfound friend, hindi siya nanglaban para masamahan si Jennifer. Hinayaan niyang balutan nila ng packaging tape ang bibig niya at talian ang kanyang mga pakpak at paa. Dahil mas malaki lang siyang bahagya sa manok na Bantam, isinilid siya sa isang bayong.

Napatayo si Jennifer matapos ang mahabang pag-alala sa mga pangyayari. Nasa loob siya ng isang medieval na cellar. Nag-iisip siya ng paraan para makaalis doon nang biglang sumulpot na gumugulong si Governor sa harapan ng kanyang kulungan.

“Why are you doing this!?” yelled Jennifer.

“I do not want to harm you Hunny.” Simula ni Governor. “The opportunity has come. I just have to grab it. Your father’s term will be ending soon, and I heard he’s aiming for a higher position. I was very worried that he might just rip me off my position when the day comes. He can do whatever he likes, you know. I heard from a reliable source that you disappeared with the dragon. So I thought you might still be alive somewhere. I led a rescue operation in hopes of finding you and eventually the Dragon.

Don't worry Hunny. I will take you to your father unharmed.”

 He is a good governor. He is her father's friend. Or was he just pretending all those times? Or was he just driven by the threats on his power? Or was he dreaming of superiority all along?

"I will not forgive you for calling me a whore..." Jennifer whispered.

"Then, taste my power." Governor said. "Akin na ang bayong!"

Mabilis na gumulong ang isang alagad ni Governor patungo sa kanya at inabot ang bayong na pinaglagyan ng Dragon.

Humahalakhak niyang binuksan iyon at laking gulat niya nang puro katalog lang ng Avon ang tumambad sa kanya.

"Ay oo nga pala sir. Namalengke yung maid n'yo. Maling bayong yata nadala n'ya... Hehe." Sabi ng alalay na nagkakamot ng ulo.

The Governor broke into tears. He fell to his knees, he looked up the heavens and called, "HINDEEE!!"

May mangyayari pa kayang matino sa kwentong hito?
