The streets outside were dismal, and Eros had already completed work for that day so he sat down in an arm chair and watched other animals from his comfy chair. Clouds billowed over the city, the occasional dragon flying with cars that now due to new shocking advances in technology were zipping along tiny tracks that were suspended between buildings. Dozens of holes peppered the buildings where the cars zipped in and out of.

They were in an age of advancement. So close to being able to reach stars billions of light years away that they dreamed of. And yet people were still slimy scumbags. There were whispers of things going on in the government, changes of money, making them pass laws that were not even talked about but new cops knew were allowed.

He knew this, and because of it he had been taking personal defense classes just for that purpose in case it was something like the Sental agreement. One that none wanted to see brought back unless they wanted the entire system to recoil in fear by blowing the planet to ashes.

He sat there for the rest of the evening before heading off to bed so that he would be able to wake up early the next morning with plenty of energy for his classes.

When he woke up the first thing he did was put on his jacket and his shorts before heading out to the kitchen. He grabbed a simple meal bite before heading out the door. He stepped out into the elevator. He watched through the transparent wall of energy as he zipped into the clouds on a round platform, and when it halted he stepped out onto the roof. The morning air was much nicer than anything that he had experienced in the last week. He unfurled his wings and jumped off. He instantly caught the wind and he began to drift across the midnight city. It was called that for its intricate black metal design work that the original creators had decided on.

He banked until he hit the roof of a car, he struggled to keep his balance on it and jumped off. Soaring into a tunnel that led to the training center.

The second he landed he knew how much he would be hurting in just an hour. He stepped into the room and felt the warm blast of air hit his face. The room was separated by age group and skill level, he was with all the other dragons in the lower levels, and he was still learning some of the more advanced attacks such as the hurricane and the palm throw. Wolves and elephants at higher levels could still overpower him barely. But other dragons had very minimal difficulty completely dismantling him.

"Hey," a sing song voice said coming from behind him.

He spun around as a metal bar came sailing down towards his head, he had anticipated this and blocked it with his tail leaving it stinging painfully. His personal trainer was holding another one unfortunately that struck him from the side leaving his head swimming. I blocked another thrust from him. The trainer's tail whipped out, Eros flipped over it without difficulty and countered with a kick strait to his angled jaw.

"Ah, your reactions are improving! Good!" The trainer shouted over the noise of the bars clanging together and the other trainees sparing.

"Hello again Seven." Eros hollered back. He swung his tail, wrapping it around the bars and ripped them out of Seven's grip.

They threw lose punches and occasionally scoring hits for what must have been hours. And even though Eros knew Seven was toying with him he still was being pushed to his limits. And this became clear when Seven threw his wings out knocking Eros over with a sudden gust of wind. He stood up and then sat down again as the other metal bar whished over his head, then changed direction sharply hitting his clavicle with a painfully sharp rap. He let lose a roar, turning to make an attack of his own; Seven suddenly held up his hand, "Stop."

He motioned towards the ele.

"Really? Mental training?" Eros asked, obviously exasperated and slightly exhausted.

"If your opponent controls your body, that's alright. But if they control your mind then you will never get a chance to turn the tables in your favor."

The mental training put stress on the body by lifting weights and other difficult tasks meant to drain your energy, meanwhile a small metal droid was placed on the spine to try to force you to give in through transmitting brain waves.

As they came down to the bottom level he saw the shiny black bug on the table with weights far away from the other trainees, Seven placed it on Eros's neck. Almost immediately a weariness came over him. Letting himself know it was too much and that he should just give up. He went over to the first weight bench. Things that should have been easy were now twice as difficult. He was easily able to bench a two hundred, but with the droid he began to feel drowsy, he needed to put the weight down.

He was about to set the weight down when Seven snapped his fingers and shouted, "You just let them take you hostage and hold you for ransom, or worse!"

Eros groaned and lifted the weight back over his head. His muscles began to shake. "You increased the weight."

Seven took a large metal weight lifting bar and brought it down on Eros's ankle. He continued holding the weight through eye watering pain. "I didn't, and you just got yourself killed. Don't talk, focus."

The more he focused the more his head swam, but he began to find it easier to hold.

Eventually he lapsed into a rhythm, breathe in, and breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. His muscles stilled, and the weight stopped shaking. Eventually after what felt like ages of torment Seven placed his claws on the bug and removed it.

"Well done!" He cheered. The other animals around the room looked over at Eros's shaking muscles for a moment before continuing training.

"Same time next week, be here." Said Seven when they had made it back up to the small entrance.

"I will." Promised Eros.

He leapt into the air. The wind was against him so it took him an extra ten minutes to get halfway back to his.

-Meanwhile at Anatomy Industry-

"Sir a new caller just came in! This one has money to spend."

Emesis was by all means not bored, he was doing what he loved for a living, and when a potential long term client had some extra money to spend on purchasing something it usually meant they wanted something that was border line legal.

He pressed his claw into a button on the coms. "Send him up."

The client wore a silver tattoo proudly across his shoulder, he was a major business owner if he had that symbol on his arm. "There is something that I want."

Emesis lifted his claw, "Before we begin I want you to swear an oath of silence, and whatever we say in here won't leave this room unless I say so." The wolf in the chair began to protest, "That is, you can say whatever you want, but trust me when I say I can turn you into merchandise if you don't say the oath of silence."

The wolf snapped his jaw shut and leaned back, "I swear that whatever we say in this room will stay in this room."

The device on his right beeped, confirming that it was activated.

"Good, now what are we interested in today."

"I was looking at your stock, and yes your work is most impressive but I am looking for something a little more, ah, unique."

Emesis thought for a moment, "What kind of animal are you looking for? The balls that my father designed are able to take any shape to give a slave the desired look."

The wolf laughed for a moment, "I want an animal who can entertain my children's children."

Emesis paused, "Even I can't get away with turning a dragon into a personal slave. You are sure that you are not interested in our current stock."

The wolf shook his head, "I have twenty one million credits to spend, I am not looking for something less than perfect."

Emesis smiled, leaning back into his chair he continued, "If you really have that much to spend I may be able to pull a few strings with the law to make it so I could do that this once. Who were you looking at on the street or wherever?"

"Actually it was at my dojo, I was watching a dragon through the window of one of my weekend offices and I couldn't help but notice how strong he was while training, it would make him quite interesting for me to play with."

The wolf chucked a driver disc onto the table. Emesis looked at it, "If anyone ever finds out that I did this my entire corporation could be sunk."

"Please, I could sink anyone who might even think of sinking you by having some hired muscle do some roughing on the person."

"Alright but it's going to be an extra million for his training."

"Done"

Emesis docked the driver in, "Here we go his citizens profile says his name is Eros, his home address is one of the SSD buildings that float around the city." He looked back at the wolf, "We will need to erase his citizenship, an extraction team will be sent later today, I myself will also assist them in case he is stronger than they are able to handle. Please check in every whenever to see our progress on your order, and the whole process should take about two to three weeks, perhaps a month if he is strong enough to resist what I have planned for him."

-Eros: Third Person-

He had landed on the roof and was enjoying the sun pelting down on the roof warming his scales. His scales had begun to turn a deeper orange. Eventually he pulled his shirt back on and went back down to his apartment to rest in seclusion, dreading work the next day.

Just as he was finishing dinner and brushing his fangs there was a loud rapping at the door. He turned around as the door bulged inward obviously under huge stress. An elephant's trunk appeared through the crack that was now in the door. Without a moment's thought he vaulted up into the air duct and slipped inside. Twelve animals flowed into the apartment with an elephant at the lead who began issuing orders, "Check everywhere for the slave. I want every inch of this apartment searched!"

He heard them shuffling around the apartment, "Oh and remember to take anything of value. It's not like he will be needing the stuff after tonight anyway."

His pupils silted, the assholes now down in his place meant to capture and take him away, for good.

"Eros! We know you're in here! Be a good dragon, show yourself, and we won't tell the boss that you were a bad boy!" Shouted a female voice.

"Come on son don't make this any more difficult on yourself than it already is!" another voice said loudly.

A cheetah walked into his rest room, obviously intending to use the toilet and laid his gun into the sink. Seeing his chance Eros dropped from his hiding spot with a soft *thud* and grabbed a towel and began strangling his opponent. The cheetah gasped and was about to shout for help when Eros shoved the ends of the towel into the animals mouth and snapped its shoulder out of its socket, he then reached down and broke its leg and threw the screaming creature from the bathroom.

He locked the door and grabbed the gun. It was a simple taser built to stun not kill unfortunately and was only good for several shots. He waited for a moment before there was a cautious knocking at the door. He sent his fist through the door and was satisfied to find that he had grabbed the elephant's neck, he promptly twisted his clawed hand cracking its neck. The poor creature fell backwards screaming something awful along with the words, "KILL HIM KILL HIM!"

All the animals shuffled around the door and he sprung back into the air vents and sealed the cover, scuffling away as fast as possible from the opening.

Not even nine seconds later he heard someone else climb up into the ducts, and another and another, the thudding continued until he estimated the entire team was inside the vents. He slipped out the nearest cover and fired a taser shell into the pipe.

Upon exploding the smell of burning hair filled the tower complex because of the electricity being conducted by the metal. He had dropped into his kitchen. He heard two pairs of footsteps charge into the kitchen.

One bird was holding a black latex orb, the other panther held a high powered rifle.

He snarled, "I just removed your friends with my hands, what will you do with a rubber ball and a gun that can't pierce my scales?"

Eros knew the rifle would punch holes in him but the animals who were trying to catch him for whatever reason obviously did not. Instead the other one also pulled out a shiny black ball. After a few brief moments of tension they threw the balls at him. Eros ducked under and fired the remaining shells at them. They went down with punctured howls and cawing noises.

He threw away the taser and looked closely at one of the orbs, being careful not to touch it.

It bulged towards him as he approached, he jumped in shock as the other one shot out tendrils that began to follow him as he ran away.

He heard a soft moan from the cheetah in the hallway by the rest room. He dashed down to find the poor creature trying to crawl out the door. He grabbed it by its uniform and slammed it against the wall.

"Listen well young one." He hissed in its ears. "If I ever see you again I swear I will kill you."

He dragged it by its dislocated arm out into the hallway when he felt something begin rubbing across his scales. It felt smooth and glossy. A wolf that was clutching his left arm had thrown his latex ball and had hit Eros squarely in the back.

He dropped the cheetah and franticly ripped away at the latex that was now covering his body, immobilizing whatever it covered. He grabbed the piece of metal that was in the latex and threw it. The goop instantly fell away from him and he threw a punch at the wolf striking the already wounded animal squarely in the jaw. He was about to continue attacking when a loud voice at the bottom of the stairs commanded, "Enough!" And four different animals that were nearly completely immobilized from various injuries threw their black balls at him. He stopped the first two from covering him, then the third and fourth by punching the chips out of their centers. He was breathing heavily at this point when a tall dragon stepped out of the elevator, clutching two balls in his right hand, an armored tail scraping across the floor behind him.

-Emesis-

I was completely infuriated by the loss of my hit team not doubt but they could all be healed with a few hours rest at a hospital. However I was going to make sure that Eros, my new merchandise, would pay dearly for hurting them so badly. I threw the balls at him to distract momentarily and then brought my armored tail down on top of his head and the young dragon crumpled, the black blobs instantly covered his feet and hands binding them together.

I quickly dialed for my team medic and dropped Eros into the car that was floating outside of the hole that we made for entry.

"Yes sir what is it?"

"The entire hit team is down I am going to need med evac and tell one of the AI units to setup the training area."

I turned towards my unconscious prisoner. "Did you hear that? I want to make sure your visit with us is as uncomfortable as possible."
