Into the Flames (FurryxScalie)

Prologue

~Los Angeles Police Department Headquarters, Downtown LA~

"Commander Vulupine, to my office please" The Police chief said over the intercom.

Commander Dox Vulupine sighed and rose from his desk, walking to the Chief's office. "You wanted to see me sir?"

"Yes sit please" the Chief said pointing to the seat.

He sat down, feeling a bit nervous.

"I have gotten word of who might behind the rising crime rate. Ever heard of the Mercenary group known as the FireDragons?" the Chief said.

Dox shook his head. "Can't say I have, sir."

"Well, I am going assign you to this case mainly because you are the best officer on the force, Commander Vulupine. I want you to find out if they are indeed behind our problems here in LA. I don't want to involve the FBI but if need be, I will. I want to know if this is just a rumor, or actual fact. You might want to read up on them before proceeding with the case, Commander"

Dox nods. "You can count on me, sir. Thank you."

"I know I can, Commander. Dismissed" The Chief said handing Dox the case file

Dox took the file back to his office. He researched the FireDragons and found that they had a base just outside the city and were lead by a dragon named Vulcan. He hadn't dealt with a dragon before, but armed himself just in case.

There was a description of the Dragon in charge. Vulcan was a red-skinned Dragon with yellow stripes with a lightning bolt scar over his left eye. His eyes were yellow.

"Should be easy to spot," Dox thought to himself. "Piece of cake."

~FireDragon Base, Outskirts of LA~

"CAPTAIN!" Vulcan yelled.

"Yes sir?" the Captain replied.

"Why do we keep getting death threats?" Vulcan asked having just read another death threat from another citizen from LA. "All we done was help this city, but no people assume just because we're DRAGONS, we automatically cause trouble. It's getting to the point where I'm seriously considering moving the base to Dragon's Peak in the remote part of the mountains and just ignore the city." Vulcan said as he sat down on his chair.

"Sir, we can't move an entire base so quickly. Besides, we've done good for LA. Despite what the furs think of us, it's good. They know of us and you shouldn't feel threatened. No one knows exactly where we-" He noticed movement on one of the monitors. "Is that an officer?"

Vulcan growled "Yes. Hand me my AK-47" Vulcan said. He hated when the LAPD comes unannounced. He strapped on his Katana across his back.

Dox walked up to the large gate and gulped. 'How big are these dragons?' he thought as he lifted his paw to knock.

Vulcan grabbed his AK-47. He got up "I'm going to meet this Officer. I want the men ready in case, Captain"

He nods and gets the others ready. Dox knocks on the gate and forced his ears upright trying to hide his nervousness. Unfortunately, his tail displayed his emotions through color and was bright yellow.

Vulcan flew to the gate, AK-47 raised. "Who's there? Answer me!"

Dox instinctively grabbed his pistol and aimed it at the dragon. "Drop your weapon and put your paws in the air! I am Commander Vulupine of the LAPD!"

"And why should I? My men and I had nothing done wrong. You are just like the other furs in LA! You think that the Dragons are behind your damn problems in LA" Vulcan said keeping his AK-47 raised.

"Sir, I'm ordering you to lower your weapon because I'm an officer of the law. While everyone has the right to bear arms, you need to heed to an officer's warning. I understand how you feel, sir. You are Vulcan, yes?" Dox lowers his pistol.

"Yes, I am, Commander Vulupine. I see you mean no harm. Men, stand down" Vulcan ordered as he lowered his AK-47.
