(Drake makes his appearance. He draws out his sword and marches towards Mingcheng and Tessa.)
DRAKE
I don’t want to fight you fire type of Dragon slayer. You’re the symbol of the Argon Kingdom. So step aside as I put that immortal woman to demise.
MINGCHENG
I refuse. If you want her, then you have to go through me.
TESSA
…
DRAKE
Fine then. You leave me with no choice.
(His sword gets imbued with lightning.)
DRAKE
Piercing point.
(He directs the lightning at them.)
MINGCHENG
Guah!
TESSA
Kyaaa!
(They all gets electrocuted by Drake’s lightning magic.)
DRAKE
You guys are no match against me.
MINGCHENG
Ugh!
(He slowly gets up.)
MINGCHENG
Fire fist!
(He shoots a flaming fist beam at Drake.)
DRAKE
It’s useless.
(He blocks off Mingcheng’s fire fist with his sword.)
MINGCHENG
This guy is different than that Garwin guy.
DRAKE
Don’t compare me to that fool. Unlike him, who only thinks of using women as play things. I’ve trained my body and my magic. I’m sorry to tell you this Dragon slayer, but this shall be your end. Thunder bolt.
(He directs another barge of lightning bolt at Mingcheng. Tessa appears and kicks it away.)
TESSA
Don’t forget that I’m here.
DRAKE
I’ve not forgotten about you. I don’t know what your plans are immortal woman. But I won’t allow you to manipulate the Fire Dragon slayer.
MINGCHENG
She didn’t manipulate me.
DRAKE
I don’t think you get what I’m saying, Dragon slayer. This woman here will think that you’re her friend. But she’s just using you to get what she wants.
TESSA
I already gotten what I want.
DRAKE
Which is?
TESSA
My freedom.
DRAKE
Then why are you hanging around with the Dragon slayer.
TESSA
It’s because I’m his friend. We shared a common bond.
MINGCHENG
In the bedroom.
DRAKE
…?!
TESSA
Don’t talk about that in public.
MINGCHENG
Oh right, forget about we had sex in the inn, holy knight.
TESSA
…
DRAKE
I see. So that’s how this is. Then I’ll have both of you executed.
TESSA
I thought that you said that the Fire Dragon slayer is the symbol of the Argon Kingdom. If you kill Mingcheng, then Argon wouldn’t have a dragon slayer. It would be the only Kingdom without a dragon slayer.
DRAKE
We can find a new Dragon slayer.
TESSA
Sorry to break the news, but all the dragons in the continent disappeared.
DRAKE
Then I’ll be the symbol of the Argon kingdom.
MINGCHENG
Alright then. Bring it on.
(He fires up.)
TESSA
Does this guy not run out of magic power.
DRAKE
Pay attention during battle.
(He slashes off Tessa’s arms.)
TESSA
Uwaaa!
MINGCHENG
Tessa! You bastard!
TESSA
I’m perfectly fine Mingcheng.
(Her hands regenerate.)
DRAKE
Tch! This is why we can’t stand you immortal woman.
TESSA
You’re just envious that you can’t slash me or kill me.
MINGCHENG
Whoa! That’s awesome. Now’s my turn. Fire Dragon’s—
(The Grandmaster of the Holy Knights Leonard appears.)
LEONARD
That’s enough.
DRAKE
Sir Leonard, what brings you here?
LEONARD
I heard that you were about to fight with the real fire dragon slayer so I decided to come and also check to see him. I didn’t know that he’ll be looking like a kid. Anyways, if the fire dragon slayer has decided to take in the immortal woman known as Tessa as his comrade, then we the Holy knights must respect his decision. We don’t want to awaken the dragon in him, do you Sir Drake?
DRAKE
No, sir.
(Leonard then turns to Mingcheng.)
LEONARD
Good. Come with me my friend. The King wants to see you.
MINGCHENG
Uh…okay, Mr. Long beard.
DRAKE
You…
LEONARD
It’s fine, Drake. Please call me Leonard.
MINGCHENG
Oh, okay.
TESSA
[So he’s the King’s brother and the Grandmaster of the Holy Knights, Sir Leonard Argon.]
