"Holy shit, that's fuckin ridiculous!" Dracon exclaimed after Junir explained everything to the Dragon, from Tony's birthday, to the gang that kidnapped Mike and what happened during that time, and finally to the bombs planted in Tony's house that ultimately landed the Lion in the hospital.

"Yeah....this past month has been crazy. By the way Dracon....can you see if the back of my neck has any cuts on it? It hurts a bit...." Junir mentioned, still sitting up on his bed while waiting for the nurse to bring breakfast back into the room.

"Lemme see here, bend down a bit so I can see your neck better." Dracon asked, putting his hand on the back of the Lion and examining the Lion's upper area around his long hair. Junir couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster as the Dragon put his hand on the Lion's back, though Dracon quickly took it off, and mentioned "Your skin is red, but I don't see any cuts. Looks more like a bit of another burn mark."

"Yeah...it itches....damn....I wonder where that nurse is, she left like 15 minutes ago, I'm getting a bit hungry here heh." Junir then added, feeling his stomach growl a tad.

"Want me to get something for ya from the vending machine while we wait for her?" The red dragon then insisted, heading near the door to go grab something for the Lion.

"Sure, I'll just take anything except potato chips heh." Junir replied. Right as the Dragon was about to open the door though, the nurse quickly opened the door first, nearly pushing it right into the dragon's body. As she walked in, she seemed to be out of breath, but quickly exclaimed:

"Junir, we need to wheel you out of here, unless you feel like you can walk. We need to evacuate the building right now, let's go!"

"What? What's happening?!?!" Both Junir and Dracon asked, both looking very confused.

"We can't waste any time! There's been a report of a bomb in the building! Let's go!"

*O_O* *O_O*

Both the Lion and the Dragon opened their eyes widely, though Junir then replied "I think I can walk....I just might need some help here since I have a bunch of cuts on my leg...."

"Quick nurse, detatch the IV tube so I can carry him out!"

The nurse quickly nodded, though she didn't think that taking TV tube out would be the best thing for the Lion. However, she quickly unattached the small tube, and before she could say anything else, the Dragon lifted up the Lion and started carrying him out of the room.

"D-dracon....e-easy...you don't have to do this!" Junir mentioned as he still has his hospital gown on, while holding his own wallet and phone.

"Let's get you out of here first." Dracon then insisted, as the two then noticed that a bunch of hospital staff members started to wheel out other patients left and right to evacuate them from the possibility of a bomb ready to detonate in the building.

"Dracon b-be careful!" Junir exclaimed, as the Dragon was pretty much running throughout the hallway, nearly hitting people on the way by. Once again, the Lion felt his heart beat a bit as he held onto the Dragon, though he was more concerned on what was going to happen in the hospital itself. The Lion was also wondering in the back of his mind....if this was possibly connected to the news report about Tony's house.

As the two got near the entrance of the hospital, they noticed a couple of cop cars there already, as well as a bunch of patients already wheeled out or being wheeled out of the hospital either in wheelchairs or in the portable hospital beds.

"Good...we're out of there...." Dracon mentioned, still holding the lion in his arms as the two walked a good distance from the entrance, near where some other patients were being taken care of.

"D-dracon.....you can put me down now....." Junir then mentioned with a bit of hesitation. The two looked at each other again, and actually blushed a bit at each other.

"Oh....I'm sorry....think you can walk?" Dracon asked, as he put the Lion on his two feet while the Lion was still holding his phone and wallet in his hands.

"Ow! Shit....my legs still hurt here.....I-I think I can walk though." Junir mentioned, though he was nursing his legs a lot while standing next to the Dragon in his hospital gown.

"Want me to.....hold you....again?" Dracon asked back, still blushing a bit himself.

"N-nah it's ok, I just gotta get through the pain.....trust me, I've been through much worse in the wrestling ring haha. Mind if I put my phone and wallet in your bag here though? " Junir asked, with the Dragon quickly nodding and letting the Lion put his belongings in his gym bag that he had with him.

As the two kept talking while waiting outside as the police men walked into the building, they failed to notice who was behind them in the parking lot.

*****

"See him yet?" Jamie asked, as the three looked on from the back of the parking lot in their Oldsmobile around the corner of the hospital.

"Not yet....there's so many patients there....." Gordon replied.

"Wait....hey....look at that big dragon....." Tristen then pointed out, still looking on from the back seat towards the front of the hospital.

"Hey....is that a Lion next to him??" Gordon then added.

"That's gotta be him, there's no other Lions there. Let's go pop a cap in his head." Jamie mentioned, with the three nodding and grabbing their Uzi's along with a few ammo clips.

"I'll go around the back of the hospital and cause the distraction from around the corner of the other side of the building, and I think that Dragon might know that Lion." Tristen told the two, with the three getting out of the car very quietly and making sure no one noticed them. No one else seemed to be wandering to the parking lot area though, since all the hospital workers and patients were still together near the front entrance outside of the building.

"You two, don't get too close. I'm going around. Jamie, you move up here getting them from this corner of the building, Gord, you get him from the center, just make sure you don't get noticed when crossing the driveway here and going around to the middle of everything. Jamie, make sure you have the car ready, we'll both jump in at the other side of the building when you make your move to drive off."

The three agreed and split up from each other, with the Orca running towards the back of the large building where the trees were, eventually making his way around towards the corner of the other end of the building while the patients were still being evacuated.

Gordon quickly looked at the hospital driveway to his left next to the parking lot, noticing no vehicles coming and quickly crossing it to get in-between some cars in the other parking lot and to move closer to the median, while Jamie crept up row by row in his own parking lot, trying to get to the corner of the building while trying to not be noticed as both he and Gordon waited for the Orca's signal.

*****

"How long do you think we'll be out here? Ow it still hurts..." Junir asked, still feeling his legs.

"Dunno, I wonder how........hey wait....what's that guy doing?" Dracon then mentioned, looking to his left to see some large Orca near the far corner of the building to their left.

"What? What are you looking at? Junir then asked.

"Hey...what is he....HOLY...."

*CLATTLE CLATTLE CLATTLE*

"GAHHHHH!!!!" "AGGHHHHHHH!!!!" "YAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Screams filled the air as bullets started flying from the far end of the corner of the hospital, as the Orca started unleashing his Uzi.

"GET DOWN!" Dracon mentioned, grabbing the Lion and covering themselves with the Dragon's large wings.

*BANG BANG BANG*

The police officers that were there immediately started shooting back towards the corner of the hospital, using their cars as a bit of a shield while the hospital workers got down on the ground, hoping to not be cut down by bullets.

*****

"Come on....just a little more....oh....SHIT!"

Gordon got in front of the median as he went around the 2nd parking lot, making it to the 2nd row of cars from the entrance of the hospital, only to notice several more police cars pulling up and pretty much blocking Gordon and Jamie from getting a clean shot at the Lion, especially since they noticed the Dragon protecting him.

*WEEYOU WEEYOU WEEYOU WEEYOU*

Even though more police cars were starting to arrive and park near the median to continue shooting at the Orca, their guards were completely thrown off, as the bull smiled from the other corner of the building, with his Uzi in hand.

*CLATTLE CLATTLE CLATTLE BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG......CLAT....* "UNGH...."

"OH SHIT RORY!" SOMEBODY HE-"

Two of the cops that were shooting in the area of where the Orca was standing were quickly silenced, as Jamie's Uzi sent bullets right into the back of their heads from around the other corner of the parking lot, while Gordon remained in the middle of everything, waiting for his clear shot at the Dragon and the Lion. Before long, the gun battle was now taking place in both directions, though no bullets were still getting near the area of the human with the other Uzi in his arms. It was truly a perfect distraction to let the human get a clear shot at his own target without anyone noticing, as it left a path perfectly towards the patients while several cops were turned one way at the Orca, and with the others turned at the bull who had already shot a couple of officers himself.

****

"I hope Junir likes these flowers...." Kumi mentioned, sitting in the passenger seat of the car.

"I hope so too, kinda sucks that they barely had any bouquets left, but I think he will like it. I feel bad that I haven't talked to the gang in a while, but after hearing this shit, I'm definitely not going to ignore it." Gantu replied, exiting the highway and heading towards the hospital.

"I wonder if they showed any updates on TV since we left...." The kodiak bear asked, feeling a bit worried.

Before the giant whale could answer back though, he quickly noticed something in his rear view mirror.

*WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU*

"Holy shit....what's going on??" Gantu asked, pulling his car over to the side, letting both cop cars pass by his Dodge truck.

"Not sure.....I hope they're not going where we're going..." Kumi replied.

"How much further before we get there?" Gantu then asked.

"GPS says only a minute here....so I'm guessing it's right up the road."

The two kept driving in the truck, though they then noticed that the cop cars that passed them quickly turned their patrol cars into a driveway several thousand feet in front of them.

"Oh shit.....I wonder if something happened...." Kumi then asked. As the two finally got their truck up to the area where the cop cars pulled in, sure enough, it was the driveway entrance to the hospital.

"What's going.....H-HOLY SHIT!" "KUMI GET DOWN!" Gantu frantically mentioned, noticing gunfire exchanging in nearly all directions as their car entered the driveway. Gantu carefully pulled his truck up a bit, still staying away from the other cop cars, but also noticing a whole bunch of hospital patients in beds and wheelchairs right outside of the entrance of the building.

"STAY DOWN KUM." The whale added, as his mate quickly slouched down on the seat.

The whale didn't know what to do at that moment, and crouched his head down a bit near the steering wheel, barely watching the ridiculous gun battle go down especially near his area, as bullets were being shot in the parking lot to the right side of the driveway entrance to the hospital. The big guy wanted to pull his car around and head out of the area, but realized that it would possibly be in the line of the gunfire if he did so.

****

*BANG BANG BANG*

*CLATTLE CLATTLE*

*BANG*

*CLATTLE*

Gunfire was still erupting everywhere, though all the cops were distracted both left and right as they kept exchanging bullets against the Orca and Bull, which also ultimately shattered several car windows and set off several alarms.

"Now's my chance...." Shit....I can't see those guys with those cop cars in front of this median....gotta get closer....." Gordon though to himself, now being in the first row of the parking lot near the entrance of the building, though a few empty cop cars were still acting like a barricade for the hospital patients.

"Shit...I need to cross this main road to get to them...good, they're all still distracted." Gordon then realized, getting ready to cross the small road to get behind a police car.

****

"Fuck....I gotta get out of here! This shit ain't stopping! You know what....screw it. HOLD ON TIGHT KUMI!"

Gantu realized that the gunfire was getting a bit closer to his own truck, and figured he had no other choice. The big whale hit the gas and gunned his truck as fast as he possibly could to try to get to the exit on the other side of the hospital driveway since he heard other police cars coming behind him.

****

Gordon quickly got in-between two of the cars in front of the entrance, though he couldn't really hear himself think with all the loud gunfire emitting around him combined with the screaming from the patients. It was now only the police cars in front of him that were blocking a clear shot at the median.

****

"D-dracon......w-what's going o-on?!?!?!" Junir frantically exclaimed as he was being covered by the Dragon's large wings.

"I dunno, but I'm hearing the bullets get closer and closer. We gotta get out of here!" Dracon mentioned.

"H-how?!?!" The lion asked back.

"Junir....do you trust me?"

"W-what??"

"I said, DO YOU TRUST ME?"

"Y-yes I do."

"HOLD ON TIGHT!"

The Dragon grabbed the Lion, opening his wings and quickly started running diagonally near one of the cop cars, holding the Lion and his own gym bag as well.

"HANG ON!!!!"

*FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*

******

"SHIT! There they are!" Gordon exclaimed, standing up in between the cars and getting into the middle of the driveway to try to shoot at the Dragon that was starting to fly away, not even thinking if the cops would notice him since he was thrown off guard by the situation.

*CHINK.....CLATTLE CLATTLE* "OH FU-"

*VROOOOOOOOOM...SCREEEEEEEEE...BANG*

*****

"OH SHIT!" Gantu yelled.

"GAHHH!!!" Kumi screamed at the top of his lungs, feeling the truck hitting something, though he wasn't sure what got hit as he remained slouched over in the passenger seat.

*****

"GAH!" "UUUUNNNNGHHHH....."

*FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*

"Dracon! You got shot! Your left wing!!" Junir exclaimed, seeing a decent amount of blood come out from the wing as the Dragon flew over the parking lot, getting away from the whole gun battle.

"Hnnnggg......I-I think....I'm good.....for now...." Dracon replied, squinting from the pain in his left wing, though he was still very determined to get Junir to a safer area.

*****

"SHIT!!! THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!"

"OH FUCK! IS THAT THEM?!?!" Both Jamie and Tristen thought, still firing their guns near the median but also noticing a large red dragon flying away from the area with someone in his arms. The two wanted to shoot at the Dragon, but found themselves still being shot at by the police officers at the same time.

"SHIT!" Dammit! Get that damn car over here!" Tristen thought to himself, as the main target that the three were after was supposedly getting away with the large red dragon. Before the Orca could think any further though, he looked to his right and noticed something coming up very fast on the driveway, though it wasn't the oldsmobile.

"SCREEEEEE...... VROOOOOOM......*flop*

"GORDON!!!"

The Orca really found himself distracted at that point, as he then noticed a Dodge truck drive by him, but what really caught his attention was that Gordon's body slid off the hood of the Truck, as it seemed like the human was hit really hard by the moving vehicle.

"FUCK YOU!!!!" *CLATTLE CLATTLE CLATTLE CLATTLE*

*FWISH......BOOSH*

******

"GAHHHH!!!!!"

"AHHH FUCK!!!!" GET OUT OF HERE GANTU!!!!"

The whale and Bear's truck had their windows shattered as the human's body that was holding the Uzi was dumped off the hood of the truck, only for another gunman (Tristen) to try to take down the truck of the two as they passed by the corner of the hospital where the rest of the gunfire was occurring. The gunfire kept emitting, though the two finally made it towards the other side of the driveway where the exit was, quickly getting their vehicle out of that area.

****

"FUCK....GORDON!!!"

*CLATTLE CLATTLE*

The Orca couldn't afford to let up the gunfire on his end, though Gordon was in the middle of the driveway nearly lying motionless, which would have ultimately made the Orca an easy target for the cops if he decided to grab the human lying there.

*****

*CLATTLE CLATTLE.....CLICK CLICK*

"SHIT! Time to get out of here!"

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*

"FUCK!"

Jamie found himself out of ammo on the other side of the building, and figured that he couldn't stay there any longer. As the bull quickly tried to run back to his car, he covered himself as the bullets kept flying his way from the policemen near the median at the entrance of the hospital.

Shot after shot heading his way, cars were being damaged like there was no tomorrow, as windows were still shattering left and right. The bull finally made it back to his own car though, quickly getting in and putting in the keys to start the vehicle.

"Shit.....come on....start......"

*VROOM*

The rusty Oldsmobile finally started after hesitating a bit, but the Bull quickly threw the shift into drive, and gunned out of the parking lot towards the parking lot entrance to the left, which was also where the driveway was at.

*TING....TING.....BANG BANG BANG BANG FWOOSH*

"GAHHH!!! SHIT!"

The bull was able to pull his car onto the main driveway, but had to duck down to avoid the bullets possibly hitting him as he felt the bullets from the guns of the policemen hitting his car, and his windshield too.

"Shit! I have no choice....." *VROOM*

Much like Gantu did with his truck, Jamie floored his car through the driveway, almost not even looking around the area as he ducked down to avoid the gunfire.

"LOOK OUT!" "WATCH OUT!" A few voices faintly emitted as the bull drove past the median of the hospital, now hearing the bullets hitting the back of his car. As he got closer to the other corner of the building where Tristen was at, the bull was thrown off guard as the Orca ran towards his car, only to notice....that Gordon was lying with a small pool of blood on the ground near where Tristen was.

The Orca kept shooting the rest of the ammo clip in his Uzi as he started running towards the driveway while Jamie came up towards him. Jamie quickly braked for the Orca, though noticed that the Orca simply left the human where he was as he got into the front seat without hesitating.

"GO GO GO!!!!" Tristen yelled, as more bullets were hitting the back of the car, one which shattered one of the brake lights.

"What about Gord?!?!" Jamie exclaimed, as the two quickly exited the parking lot and sped off, quickly trying to find a place to ditch their ride and steal a better car.

"Forget him, he's useless after being hit by that car, he's a fucking idiot for not seeing that." Tristen replied.

"Where to now? Those cops are gonna be hot on our tail!"

"Quick, pull in here and go around the house, let's snag this bitch and get out of here before the cops come chasin and so that they don't see our ride." Tristen mentioned, as the two pulled their banged up Oldsmobile literally into the backyard of a house that had what looked to be a brand new Chevy suburban parked in its driveway.

As the two got out of their car, they both heard the back door opening from the house they parked their beat up car near.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" A female Siamese cat asked as she walked outside, wondering why two guys were getting out of their car in her backyard.

"HEY LADY. HOW ABOUT YOU GIVE US YOUR CAR KEYS, OTHERWISE WE'LL GIVE YOU THIS."

Tristen quickly threatened the female cat by pointing his Uzi right at her as the two walked right up to her, causing her to quickly back down in fear.

"O-oh my god....don't shoot me! Please....h-h-here!" The cat mumbled, having her body pinned up to the back door of her house as both the Orca and Bull got right in her face with the gun. She quickly pulled out the single car key from her pocket and handed it to the Orca. As the whole confrontation was going down though, another voice emitted near the back door.

"M-Mommy? Mommy? What's..... going on???" A very young cat boy asked as he came up to the back door.

"P-please leave! Leave us alone!" The Siamese mother asked very frantically, opening the door and holding her child in her arms.

"Hey, look at it this way lady....now you can both die in each other's arms."

"N-NO"

*CLATTLE....CLATTLE*

"................."

"Let's go Jamie."

Within a couple of seconds, the Orca and bull truly showed how little they cared for anyone they took hostage, as Tristen unloaded the rest of his Uzi into the female cat and her son as well in cold blood.

The bull and Orca quickly walked to the front of the house and up to what looked to be the brand new Suburban, and got into the car.

"DAMN this is a nice ride! Boss will like this shit!" Jamie exclaimed as he got into the driver's seat, quickly firing up the vehicle and exiting the driveway, leaving their Oldsmobile and the two dead bodies behind without any remorse.

"Yeah well....boss won't be happy with us....then again, none of us knew that a fucking Dragon was with that Lion..." Tristen replied, taking out the clip from his Uzi as the two had no more bullets at the moment for their guns. The two quickly found themselves back on the main road not far from the hospital, and drove back towards the highway to head back towards their hangout, hearing sirens in the distance as they figured the cops were searching the area now.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, only a couple of cop cars left the hospital area to chase after the gunmen, as the other police officers stayed to either help the evacuated patients that were still outside, or to make sure there were no bombs of any kind in the hospital itself. A couple of the cops though did go over to the far end of the hospital to see a human lying with a small pool of blood around him.

"GET A DOCTOR OVER HERE NOW!" One of the cops exclaimed, ignoring the fact that there was an Uzi right near the motionless human. A couple of doctors ran over to the scene and checked on the human, feeling his pulse and making sure he was still alive.

"He's breathing, but he's unconscious. Let's get him in a room." One of the doctors mentioned, while the cops grabbed the Uzi next to the human and walked back towards the other cop cars.

As the patients remained outside, a few cops finally walked out of the hospital, deeming the place to be clear and that the gunfire was connected to the bomb threat. A few doctors quickly grabbed a stretcher and laid Gordon on top of it, wheeling the motionless human into the hospital as well as the other patients.

"Did you see that Dragon fly away from here? Should we go after him for flying in a restricted zone?" One of the cops asked as several other cops were talking around him.

"You kidding me? I would've done the same thing if I could fly with all that gunfire that we just dealt with." Another cop mentioned, as they all seemed to ignore and even compliment what the Dragon did to get out of that area.

*****

"F-fuck.....hhhnnnggghhhh..." *FLAP FLAP..........FLAP FLAP......FLAP FLAP*

Dracon's left wing was still bleeding, which made Junir notice that the Dragon was now struggling really badly in terms of flying, even though they were still very high in the air.

"D-dracon.....rest yourself, we're nowhere near the hospital now!" Junir stuttered as he felt a bit nervous, especially since the only thing keeping him in the air were the Dragon's arms.

"Y-yeah....let's land down here....." Dracon replied, lowering himself near a tree filled area as the two figured that they were in a much safer area now.

*FLAP....FLAP....FLAP....CRUNCH*

The two seemed to land somewhere in the woods, with trees all around the area.

"Whew.....a-am I still bleeding badly Jun?" Dracon asked the Lion, sitting on the leafy ground to take a load off of himself at the moment.

"Lemme check here...hold still..." Junir mentioned, feeling the Dragon's large wings and noticing the bullet holes that were showing.

"Does it feel like you have anything lodged into your left wing here?" Junir asked, gently stroking the Dragon's wing, which ultimately made the muscular dragon blush.

"N-no....it just stings really badly....ow!" Dracon replied, feeling Junir's hand touch the wound which luckily was barely bleeding at that point.

"Ok that's good then....I think the bullets may have gone right through your wing here.....you have anything I can clean your wing with? Ugh this damn gown is getting itchy here...." Junir replied.

"Yeah I have a couple of water bottles in my bag here and a towel but it's kinda sweaty."

"Better than nothing. Lemme grab it here...." *ZIP*

The Lion opened the gym bag that had his cell phone and wallet inside it to also notice some clothes, as well as a couple of full water bottles with a towel inside as well.

"If this hurts let me know and I'll stop....." Junir mentioned, taking out the damp towel from the gym bag and covering it in water from one of the water bottles.

*Pat....pat....*

"Mmnnnfffhhhh......owwwwww......" Dracon uttered as the Lion cleaned the wound on his wing a bit, gently stroking the upper left area of the dragon's wing and cleaning it with the towel.

"Good....this is easy.....you ok there Drac?"

"Y-yes....keep going.....mmmmnffhhh..." Dracon replied. The Dragon realized that even though his wing was still hurting, the soft touch of the lion cleaning his wounds also made him blush as he seemed to enjoy the moment as well.

"Just a little more here....there we go." Junir finally mentioned as he stopped cleaning the area as there were no more traces of blood on the Dragon's wing, and that the wounds had already scabbed up pretty quickly.

"T-thanks Jun, my wing hurts a lot less now. Lemme see here...." *FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP* "Yep, MUCH better" Dracon mentioned, still feeling a stinging sensation in his wing but still being able to move his wings much more strongly compared to before.

"Glad to see that your wings are better." Junir replied with a wide smile on his face, though he then started itching himself again. "Fuck....I hate this hospital gown....."

"Wanna just get changed into some of my gym clothes?" Dracon mentioned as he kept testing out his wings.

".....uhhh......oh fuck....y-yeah I guess, anything is better than this damn gown...." Junir replied, hesitating at first but quickly agreeing as the itching kept bothering the Lion to the point that he simply couldn't wear it anymore.

"Think these shorts and tank top will fit you? I didn't wear them tonight so they're clean heh." Dracon replied, rummaging through his gym bag and pulling out a black tank top and a pair of black & red shorts along with it.

"Heh, well let's find out" Junir replied as the dragon handed him the tank top and shorts.

"Uhhh...I'll just go over here and change behind these trees if that's okay." Junir then mentioned, walking over to change out of his gown into Dracon's clothes.

"That's fine." Dracon replied, though he was blushing a bit at the thought of possibly seeing the Lion naked.

As junir walked over behind a few trees, he slowly took off his hospital gown, which still made him itch pretty badly as he was disrobing.

"Fuck....ugh... *FWOOSH* there....that's off finally." Junir said to himself as he stood naked behind the trees, quickly changing from his gown to the dragon's clothes.

"O-ow! Shit..." Junir said to himself as he put his shorts on, since his legs still had the cut marks on them which hurt when the shorts rubbed against them as the Lion put them on.

Meanwhile, Dracon was pacing a bit back and forth near his gym bag, waiting for the Lion to come out behind the trees. The whole time he was pacing though, he kept thinking to himself "Junir is so cute....wonder what he looks like without that gown on hehe."

The Dragon's thoughts of the lion eventually led the big guy to stiffen up in his own pants, and right as the dragon's member was starting to get lively, Junir quickly asked "Hey Dracon, you wouldn't happen to have any extra shoes in your bag, would you?"

The Lion came around the corner, exposing his very muscular body to the Dragon while putting on the black tank top that Dracon gave to him, which made the dragon's heart beat incredibly fast.

"U-u-uhhhh....n-no I d-don't...sorry...." Dracon stuttered back, with his face almost being completely red after seeing how incredibly muscular the Lion was.

"That's ok, these clothes actually fit really nicely! I'm surprised since you're much taller than me heh."

"Great! D-did you need to tighten up the shorts at all?" Dracon asked, still stuttering a bit but calming down after talking to Junir some more.

"A little bit, but other than that, these fit great. Thanks again for letting me wear your clothes. I really do owe you one Dracon." Junir added, coming up to the Dragon and putting his hand on the big guy's shoulder, emitting a big smile on his face.

Dracon smiled back, but then realized that his member was still perking up almost uncontrollably.

"U-uh....Junir....can I just a-ask you something....?" Dracon then uttered.

"Yeah? What's up?" Junir replied, checking his phone, and then noticing that he was getting several text messages from his friends, which made Junir assume they all saw the news report about the Lion.

"W-well....m-mind if you take off your shirt so I can see your muscles again?" Dracon asked out of nowhere, which threw off the lion a bit.

"Ummmm...well sure, for someone that saved my life, of course you can heh." Junir replied, taking off the tank top and showing his ripped body at the Dragon, though he still had cuts and bruises all around him.

"H-hot damn!" Dracon replied, feeling his member perk up almost to its fullest at that point, and not being able to control himself. It seemed like the Lion wasn't really paying attention though, as Junir was still looking at his own body to keep examining what happened from the night before.

"I just hope these cuts and bruises don't hurt my wrestling abilities..." The lion then added, looking at the cut marks on certain parts of his body, some which he didn't notice from before.

"Y-you wrestle? W-where?" Dracon asked, almost having one of those perverted nosebleeds right on the spot as he nearly found himself drooling over the Lion.

"Oh well I just wrestle locally, I've been trying to get with the bigger companies and I'd love to join the WWE someday, but I'll take what I can get for now heh. You also seem pretty muscular yourself there Dracon!"

"H-heh yeah, I hit the gym a lot but I also exercise a real lot in general, especially since I own a bowling alley." Dracon replied, scratching his head a bit and then feeling his member calm down after Junir finally put his tank top back on.

"Oh nice! You'd get along great with Mike then since he's big into bowling himself." Junir replied, as he looked at his phone once again.

"You talking about Tony's boyfriend?" Dracon replied.

"Yep...I still wanna know what happened though...Tony didn't seem himself when I talked to him on my phone back at the hospital...." Junir then mentioned as he started to wonder what was going on with the Tiger.

"S-should we head back there? I mean, won't they notice that you're missing?"

"Well Tony said he'd pay for my bill, I just hope that those gunmen aren't there anymore....I really don't think we should head back there." Junir replied.

"Who were those guys anyway?! I mean, they had fucking Uzi's in their hands and were shooting pretty much from every direction!"

"I have no clue....but I have a bad feeling.....that it's related to Tony's situation...." Junir said to the Dragon as he developed a worried look on his face.

"Did you notice that truck that sped by us as we flew away from there? I wonder if that was their getaway car..."

"I dunno...I could've sworn I've seen that truck somewhere before....anyway, should we get going?" Junir replied.

"Yeah, I'm feeling much better. Wanna just stay at my place for the time being?" Dracon asked as he zipped up his gym bag and holstered it onto his shoulder.

"Might as well, my car is probably smashed up from all that debris at Tony's house and I don't have to work anytime soon. Plus with the news being hot on that story, I don't really wanna be noticed all that much since I just have a bad feeling that those gunmen just might come after me again....but who knows."

"Yeah I hope they don't come after you, but you can stay with me as long as you want." Dracon insisted.

"Well, might as well let you do the honors Drac'." Junir replied, walking up to the Dragon and putting his phone away in his pocket.

"Before we go....I just wanna let you know....I think you're cute Junir." Dracon mentioned as he picked up the Lion and started flapping his wings again, feeling much better this time as he was ready to take off.

"H-heh....thanks....I-I think you're good looking too." Junir replied. The two simply smiled at each other and Dracon started running in the woods, flapping his wings very fast as he finally took off into the sky to head back towards his home.

"H-Hhhnnnnggghh...." "Mmmmnnnfff...."

I barely opened my eyes, but I felt two arms hovered over my body, which almost made me forget about everything that I had just been through. I finally awoke though to notice that Sull and Ord were sleeping next to me and comforting me on one of the beds in Chowder's house. After I fully woke up, I found myself looking at Sull, who looked like he had just awoken right before I did.

"Hey there Mike...how are you feeling hun?" The monster asked as he stroked my hair.

I felt like my face had a couple of dry streaks on them from all the tears that flowed down it from earlier, and the thoughts of Tony simply would not leave my mind. My heart was still racing, and I still had a massive migraine inside my head from all the thoughts that went through it. It pretty much made the painful thoughts of what Marco's gang did to me look like nothing compared to what I was going through at that moment.

"I.....I don't know....I....simply don't know...." I replied, as my body was shaking while I sat up on the bed, still nursing my head. I then realized that Eric was in the room as well, slouched over in a reclining chair that happened to be near the bed, and he looked like he was still resting.

"I'm here for you Mike....we're all here for you. Let's ease your mind, come on, we're going to take you out today to have some fun." Sull insisted.

"I........I guess....." I stuttered back, as I almost couldn't even hear myself talk. I looked next to me and noticed that Ord was lying next to me with his eyes closed, and he looked like he was in a very deep sleep at that moment.

"S-should I w-w-wake Ord up?" I asked as both Sull and myself got out of the bed. I then noticed that Eric started motioning himself, eventually opening his own eyes and seeing that Sull and myself were awake.

"H-hey Mike....I hope you didn't mind me up here." Eric said to me as he got up off of the recliner.

"T-thanks Eric....I'm glad you guys are here....I just....I just don't know what to think...." I stuttered once again.

"Mike, listen to me. Don't let this get to you. I've known Tony for a LONG time, and he's not going to break up a relationship just like that. He never said he was ending the relationship. He just doesn't want you to get hurt." Sull replied, hugging me tightly. I pretty much couldn't hold back my emotions once again and started forming tears in my eyes as I hugged the furry monster.

"T-t-thanks Sull....I-I-I just hope h-he comes b-back." I mumbled back VERY badly.

"Now let's go out and get your mind off of these thoughts, okay? We're all going to make sure we have a great time around the area, right Eric?" Sull then asked.

"Yeah! And you guys can come check out our place after if you want to!" Eric insisted as he smiled at the two of us. Just then, we heard a yawning noise emit near us, as Ord looked like he had finally woken up from his nap.

"HNNNNGGGGHHH....O-oh...h-hey guys....how are you feeling Mike?" The blue dragon asked as he quickly got up off the bed and walked over to the three of us.

"I-I'm a b-bit better.....I....really need to g-get my mind off of t-this though...." I stuttered back.

"Hey, how about Ord and I treat you all out at Chowder's Soup café? How does that sound Mike?" Sull then asked me.

My mind actually eased up at that moment, as I knew that the Soup café would at least be a good area to go eat with the rest of my friends.

"Y-yeah d-definitely! L-let's go there!" I replied back, wiping away a couple of tears and actually smiling for once.

"Alright! Let's head out then!" Sull mentioned.

(Side note, in these past few chapters, everyone is wearing similar clothing that I have described in earlier chapters)

The four of us headed downstairs, and I was actually feeling in a better mood at that moment. As we got down to the bottom of the stairs near the kitchen, we all noticed that a certain person was missing in the house.

"Hey Kimahri....w-where's Aquin?" Sull asked the Ronso as we all walked into the living room to see the big guy still watching TV on the couch, as I also noticed that it was now 1:30 on the wall clock in the living room.

"Oh...he didn't tell you? I think some guy picked him up here so that he could go back to his place to try to find Tony...." The Ronso replied, turning off the TV and getting up off the couch.

We were all thrown off by what Kimahri told us, but at the same time, I was not surprised in a way since Aquin seemed like a very unpredictable person in general.

"Well either way, we're gonna head to Chowder's soup café, wanna join us Kimahri?" Sull asked the Ronso as the five of us stood around the couch.

"Yeah sure! I'm getting hungry anyway heh."

"So am I." "Me too." *GROOWWLLLLL*

As soon as the word hunger was mentioned, the five of us quickly wanted to go and get something to eat, and we found ourselves grabbing our things and heading out the door to head back to my house next door where the cars were parked.

"Chowder's house is locked, right?" I asked the others, especially after thinking about what happened to Junir.

"Yep, I locked it." Eric replied.

"Alrighty, I gotta go grab my phone and my Ipod inside my house, and then we can head out." I replied, taking my keys out of my pocket and unlocking the front door to head back in.

"Oh hey Mike! How are you feeling?" My dad asked, doing some paperwork in our living room while watching TV.

"I'm b-better, we're gonna head out for the day to help clear my mind of everything." I explained.

"Ah ok. Did you hear anything about your Lion friend Junir?"

"Oh....crap..." I then realized, as I never thought about calling the big guy, and then realized that I never got his phone number either, as I only added him as a friend on facebook and got his instant messaging names.

As I went into the office to grab my phone and Ipod, I also grabbed my check from the Daily News, realizing that I still needed to call Judy to let her know that I was at least ok, though I didn't know when I'd be writing again after everything that had happened.

As I looked at my G2 phone to see that I had no new text messages or voicemails, I then realized something.

"Wait....if I'm friends with Junir on Facebook.....let's see......come on.....here we go....Junir Espinoza.....YES!!!!"

I quickly smiled when I noticed that I actually did have Junir's phone number since he listed his phone number on Facebook, and that it was automatically stored in my contact book as well.

I also remembered at that moment that I was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and quickly went back into my room to get changed into a set of clean clothes, putting on my black Wolf's Rain shirt and my blue jeans as well to go along with my Boston Celtics hat.

"Alright dad I'm heading out, I'll be back later." I mentioned as I put my shoes back on and headed near the front porch area.

"I'll be here if you need anything Mike!" My dad replied. I quickly nodded and headed out the door, and figured that this was the best time to see if I could possibly get in contact with the Lion, though I still didn't know if he had his phone with him in the hospital. For a couple of moments, I was actually able to forget about what happened between Tony and myself, as I was focusing more on how Junir was doing.

"Hey Mike, you ready?" Sull asked out of his window as I went up to their Sonata and got into the back seat.

"Let's go, I'm gonna see if I can call Junir while we head out." I replied, checking my email before making the phone call.

"You said it was at the Market Square Plaza, right Mike?" Sull asked as he started up the car in our driveway.

"Yep, you pretty much can't miss it, but I'll show you the way if you need to find it." I replied.

"Alright, Eric and Kimahri are gonna follow us in their car but in case they do get lost I gave them my cell number." Sull mentioned as both cars started to leave the driveway to head out.

"Sounds good. Time to call Junir." *BEEP*

****

"How you feeling Jun?" Dracon asked as he kept flapping his wings through the air, flying over countless houses and trees, and also flying parallel to one of the major highways.

"P-pretty good, t-thank god I'm n-not really afraid of heights." Junir replied, holding onto the Dragon's neck very tightly but still stuttering a bit as this was the first time the Lion ever found himself in this situation.

"I think I know where we are, if I'm not mistaken we should be back in Massachusetts....yep, there's one of the major mass turnpike bridges....we're near the Worcester area now." Dracon replied, as he definitely knew where he was.

"I'm surprised you know your way around since you don't use anything to help yourself find out where you are." Junir said to the Dragon.

"Well I'm really used to flying all around the states around here, I guess it's something that you just get accustomed to after a while heh." Dracon replied, smiling back.

"I just hope that all this stuff....wait.....hang on.....my phone's ringing I think...." Junir pointed out, feeling the vibration in his pocket and carefully pulling out his flip phone, not wanting to drop it as the two kept flying in mid-air. The Lion looked at the display and noticed that it was a number that he didn't recognize, but still decided to answer the phone anyway.

*****

*RINNNNNNGGGGGG....." "H-hello?"

My eyes widened as I heard the Lion's voice, and it also brought a huge smile to my face as well.

"Junir?? Is that you??" I asked, still wondering if that was the Lion that actually answered me.

"W-who is....wait....Mike?!" Junir replied, hesitating at first but then realizing who was calling.

"Yeah! I found your number on my phone since you're on my contacts list since we're friends on Facebook!"

"Oh nice! I'm glad to hear you're doing well *WHOOSH*, Tony contacted me earlier but wouldn't tell me how you were."

I heard some weird feedback on the phone, almost as if the wind was transmitting through the speaker. When Junir mentioned Tony though, my head started to hurt again, and I felt a sudden jolt of pain going through me.

"W-well......I-I'd rather not t-talk about t-that." I stuttered back, though I quickly regained my composure and realized that I was still wondering what was going on with the Lion. "A-anyway, how are you doing? We all s-saw the news report earlier! What happened?!?!" I then added.

"It's pretty complicated, and I'm *WHOOSH* not in the best area to explain everything at the moment Mike."

"W-what do you mean? Where are you?" I asked, assuming that he was still at the hospital, but also wondering why I kept hearing the sound of wind coming through the speaker.

"Well, you'll probably hear about it on the news soon....but my new friend Dracon here is flying me back to his place in New Hampshire."

"Wait, what???" I asked, being VERY confused right then and there. Why was Junir not at the hospital? Why was he saying I'd hear about "it" on the news?" Who was Dracon? And why were they FLYING back to New Hampshire?"

"I'll explain everything when we get back to Dracon's house Mike. Where are you guys right now?" The Lion then asked. Again, my mind was starting to think about where Tony could possibly be.

"I-I don't know where Tony is....but the rest of us are going to a new restaurant near my town called "Soup café" since our new neighbor owns the place." I replied.

"Ah nice, where is that? Maybe we can stop by there on our way back! Oh yeah, *WHOOSH* Tony said that he was heading to see me and also to go back to his place....but after everything that happened....I don't know what to think...." The Lion mentioned, as he sounded like he was worried.

"Y-yeah.....I don't know what's going on...but the restaurant is in a town called Newburyport up here and it's located at Market Square Plaza if you and your friend wanna join us." I replied, still acting VERY confused right then and there.

"Hey Mike, tell Junir I said hi and I hope he gets better!" "Yeah, tell him I said hi too!" Sull and Ord then told me from the front seat.

"Hey Jun, Sull and Ord hope you get better too." I then added.

"Thanks, tell them that I'm doing much better, but *WHOOSH* I'll explain everything when we meet up, okay?"

"Sounds like a plan!" I happily replied, still acting confused but relieved as well, knowing that the Lion sounded well and that he was actually out of the hospital, though I still had several more questions running through my mind.

"Ok Mike, I'll see you guys all later *WHOOSH* then!" Junir then finally said to me.

"Alrighty, see ya Jun!" I said back, hanging up the phone.

"How's Junir doing?" Sull then immediately asked me after I hung up the phone.

"G-good I guess....but I dunno what's going on....he mentioned some things that confused the hell out of me. He told me he'd explain everything later, and he might even meet us at the Soup Café!" I replied, still wondering what the Lion was talking about, though also feeling a bit excited as I really wanted to see the handsome Lion again.

"Wow, he's already out of the hospital? That was quick!" Ord pointed out.

"Y-yeah...but it didn't sound like he was simply released.....he said I'd find out eventually....."

The three of us pretty much remained quiet as my Ipod played in the car, with both our car and Eric & Kimahri's heading to Chowder's restaurant.

****

"So, was that the Mike that you were telling me about that's Tony's boyfriend?" Dracon asked, still holding the Lion in his arms as he kept flying near the highway, though not over it as that was an illegal flying zone.

"Yep. He said that they're heading to a restaurant in Newburyport, do you know where that is?" Junir replied, carefully putting his phone back in his pocket while the Dragon held him in the air.

"Of course I know where that is, I pass by it all the time! Wanna meet them there and get something to eat?" Dracon happily asked.

"That'd be great! I should probably give Tony a call though to let him know where I'm at....hang on." Junir mentioned, as he carefully pulled out his phone again. As the Lion flipped the phone open though, both the Dragon and the Lion were caught way off guard in the air.

*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHH*

"Ungh!"

"AGH!! OH SHIT!!!! MY PHONE!!!!"

A huge gust of wind caught the two by surprise, and ultimately made the Lion lose a grip on his phone while Dracon suddenly dropped in mid-air a bit from the wind. The lion could only look down and notice his phone look smaller and smaller as it fell towards some trees, and eventually out of sight.

Dracon felt really bad, but couldn't just stop his flying right then and there, as the wind was still pressing hard against his body.

"H-hang on Jun, this is gonna b-be bumpy!" *FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*

The Dragon ascended and descended several times while the wind direction was going all over the place. As the two kept flying further and further near the highway, they eventually started to pass over a few small towns, though Junir still looked really upset that he lost his phone in mid-air.

"M-my phone! I had all my contacts on t-there!!!" The Lion frantically mentioned.

"Don't worry Junir, I'll buy you a new one, okay? I'm sorry that I caused you to lose that." Dracon replied, though still focusing on flying through the wind currents as it was also getting VERY cloudy too.

"T-thanks..... But then again, you saving my life is more important than a phone Drac'. I just wanna get back on the ground now...." Junir replied, now feeling like he was getting a bit weary from all the flying.

*****

After roughly a 10 minute drive, we found ourselves back in Newburyport, and back at the Market Square plaza. Sull, Ord, and myself were still wondering what Junir was talking about over the phone, but at the same time, we were also VERY hungry and couldn't wait to get some grub from Chowder's restaurant.

Luckily, Eric and Kimahri were also able to follow us the whole way there and had no problems with directions.

After parking near the restaurant, the five of us quickly got out of the car, and started walking up near the entrance of the Soup Café.

"Wow, this is a REALLY nice place Chowder has!" Eric mentioned as he looked at the building, with Kimahri also nodding too.

"Yeah, he just opened it too." I mentioned, as the five of us walked into the place.

We were all pretty surprised to notice that the place was PACKED with people. The restaurant was so busy that the booth seats were almost all taken, but luckily there were just barely enough individual seats at the counter for the five of us to sit at.

Before we could all take a seat though, I heard a familiar voice emit near me.

"MIIIKKKKEEE!!"

I looked to my left for a split second, only to be smothered in a hug from Chowder himself. He really seemed happy to see me there, and was also in a VERY good mood.

"H-hey Chowder! H-hey....I c-c-can't b-breathe."

"Oh I'm sorry!" The Tiger mentioned and quickly broke his hug with me, though I was still smiling as we settled into the restaurant.

"So how are you feeling Mike? And how's everything else guys?" Chowder then asked me and the others. Once again, he was wearing nothing but a large apron over himself as well as his grey beanie hat, though I did happen to notice he was also wearing a fundoshi as well.

"W-well....I haven't heard anything from T-Tony....but I did just talk to Junir on the phone!" I replied as I sat down with the others at the counter.

"We're doing good though in general Chowder, Mike's feeling a bit better here and I'm making sure that we're gonna make him happy today." Sull then mentioned to the Tiger. Ord, Kimahri, and Eric also nodded after the monster's statement too.

"That's good! How's your friend Junir doing anyway?" Chowder then asked.

"He seemed fine...but he confused me too...he said that I'd find out something that happened sooner or later on the news....but I have no idea what he meant by that." I replied as I started thinking again.

"Here, lemme see if anything's on the television. Finally got the cable turned on today here." Chowder then said to us. He quickly grabbed a remote control and turned on what looked to be a brand new HDTV above the area where the Tiger's workers were preparing the food. None of us noticed the TV there the day before, so we all assumed that it has just been set up over the last day.

"Hey put it on channel 4 again, that's where they reported about Junir and Tony's house." Kimahri then added while the TV was turning on.

The tiger quickly nodded and turned the TV to WBZ.

Sure enough, the five of us and several others in the restaurant noticed the "BREAKING NEWS" label flash by the TV right as the channel was put on #4.

"Turn that up Chowder!" Kimahri then said to the Tiger, with Chowder nodding. We all listened into what was going on, though we had no clue if this was relating to what Junir was telling us on the phone.

"Good afternoon everyone, I'm Mike Asbaty with Newscenter 4. We are just receiving word yet again from our affiliates near Yonkers New York.....that there have been reports of a major shootout at the Elmhurst hospital in the town of Elmhurst. We reported earlier that 26 year old Junir Espinoza was emitted to this hospital after possibly being connected to what happened with the house that belonged to television star Tony the Tiger that was destroyed. We will continue to keep you updated with this story as much as we can, but as of right now, there have been no official reports of any injuries or deaths. Stay tuned with Newscenter four as we continue to bring you updates."

"Holy fuck!" I exclaimed with my eyes wide opened, which caused a few people to stare at me around the restaurant.

"Damn! That's ridiculous!! You said that Junir was ok though, right Mike??" Ord then asked me with a worried look.

"Y-yeah! He sounded fine! But he also told me that he was supposedly....flying....with some new friend of his."

"Flying?" "FLYING?!" a couple voices asked near me.

"Y-yeah, I think Jun said his friend's name was Dracon."

"....."

".....did....you just say....Dracon??" Ord asked as he sounded very, VERY surprised after I mentioned the name aloud.

"Y-yeah I think that's what he said....do you know him?" I replied.

"Yeah I know him! But I haven't seen him....good god...it's been at least 5 or 6 years since we last talked!"

"Is it just me, or does this World feel as small as a marble to me now?" I then thought to myself.

"Well Junir said they might meet us here, so maybe you guys can meet up and talk again!" I replied to the Dragon.

"Yeah! Anyway.....*GROWWWWWLLLLLL* We should probably get something to eat haha." Ord laughed back as nearly all of our stomachs growled again at the same time.

"I just hope that no one got hurt there at that hospital!" Chowder then said to the five of us, as we all nodded back. "Anyway, what would you guys like? I'll make sure to give you something extra special to cheer you up Mike." The big Tiger then added, which made me blush a bit and smile again. I was actually feeling much better at that moment and realized how lucky I was to be with such great friends at a time when I needed them the most.

Eventually, the five of us ordered our food and drinks, and found ourselves chit chatting back and forth with Chowder as our items were being prepared. It was definitely a great way to start the afternoon.

****

"Is this the place you were mentioning?" Marcus asked his brother.

"Yeah, good thing this bitch put this picture with her and that pussy tiger up on this Google site, I guess it must've had that GPS map shit built into it cause it says the pic was taken at market square plaza here in Newburyport."

"Well it says Market Square plaza here at the entrance.....we might as well look around though I doubt we'll find anything."

"I wish boss didn't just send us off like dat, I've never seen him trippin that much."

"You never know, we might find somethin nigga. We just might get lucky." Marcus said to his brother as the two parked near a restaurant called "Soup café"

"I still don't think we should be doing this...we don't got nothin to go on." Andre then added as the two got out of their car.

"Like I said...you never know...well, we might as well.......hey wait....hey.....is that...."

Marcus stuttered a bit, but his brother quickly looked in the same direction that he was looking at through the glass window into the restaurant to see a human sitting at the counter. A human that looked VERY familiar to the two.

"That....that can't be him....I...I thought that nigga Tristen finished him?" Andre replied.

"He never said he officially did.... this will REALLY make the boss happy....and I REALLY want to put a bullet in that faggot human's head too. It's time to fulfill that. *CACHINK*
