Mission 4: Electric Dragon

Here I am running from this colossal dragon. How did this even happen? Oh, yeah it was because of him...

Three hours earlier:

I am sitting on a luxury plane with a millionaire rich dude called Phoenix. A famous music agent who takes an artist to the next level. We clink glasses of wine and chat about the latest new trends. Usually I hate missions like this, but when you place a glass of wine in front of me, I am okay with being a bodyguard. Being his bodyguard tonight at a black market gala is important.

Since before I joined BEAST, BEAST and Phoenix father are long time friends. Even after BEAST transformation, they are still buddies. Now the father has passed on the 'phoenix' title to his son. Unfortunately, unlike the father, the son is a complete weakling. He has no fighting skills and can often be a ditz. So here I am playing babysitter to make sure no thugs approach him at the market. This market is where all the high top villains, scientists, adventurers, and dark celebrities meet to exchange money, knowledge, and rare artifacts.

Thank God, this was a masquerade event, or my ass would be toast. There are plenty of villians I have crossed paths with and they want me dead. The plane lands and we take the car to the event. Phoenix was a talker so it was hard to keep up with everything he was saying. This ride needed to go faster. Ding!

I look at my phone and see a message from BEAST. My eyes go wide at one of the artifacts at the market tonight. It was the Lightning Dragon, an ancient relic that is told to hold a powerful dragon with the abilities to discharge lightning at will. It was feared by many during the samurai era. It was said that this relic was locked up at a military base in Japan. So, why is it here? I don't know, but I do know this was stolen from them. I am assigned to bring it back to the base and BEAST will give it back to the Japanese military commander.

"Everything okay?" Phoenix asked. I nod while closing my phone.

"Yep. So, what agents will you try and buy celebrities from?" I asked.

"I was thinking of trying for Beyonce and Jay Z agency and see what new blood they are supporting or maybe partner with someone who is trying to revamp the Motown industries. Who knows what tonight will bring." he replied. I nod my head. Yes, who knows what tonight will bring; indeed.

We arrive at the black market which is being held in an exclusive hotel ballroom. We slip on our masks and I watch Phoenix every movement. I focus my hearing on him and an associate while searching for Dr. Sting. There are rumors from BEAST intel that his men stole the dragon. I see a man with an eye patch and green hair.

"Found you." I whispered. I briskly walk past to collect his scent. His smell was mellow but had a hint of basil to it. This was what I needed to find his men. I smell the area and then look towards a door leading to the kitchen. I wait for a clearance and go inside. The kitchen was closed for the night but someone was back here. I see a group of men talking around a huge brown crate. I smile at them and they look at me with caution.

"Hold it right there son. There are no guests in the kitchen. This place is reserved by our buyer to be kept private." one man stated. I stop and begin to rub my head.

"Yeah, I know guys but I am with the manager of the hotel and he wanted me to tell you guys, you will be sharing this room with another vendor and if you could move your crate to the other side of the kitchen." I lied. They look at each other and nod. I watch them move the crate to the other side. While the crate was lifted I threw an electric bug on it. I leave the kitchen and return to Phoenix. I returned just in time too. He was beginning to sip too much and I can see the guest becoming annoyed.
