Royal Dragon's Dilemma IV

Royal Dragon sites in his cottage thinking about where Suko has gone. "She's been gone for almost a week and not one word of her whereabouts. I guess I better pack-up and see if I can find her. But where do I start the search?", Royal Dragon ponders. He finishes his tea and then stands and looks out of his window. The trees are blowing from the approaching winter. Still Royal Dragon thinks about his meeting with Gina Nackiomi. "I still can't get her out of my mind. There is just something about that girl......before I make a decision on my marriage to Suko I'll have to see her again. Just to know for myself if I'm doing the right thing." He continues to look outside and then begins to pace the floor.

Meanwhile at Gina's cabin, she looks out of her window and thinks about how she was nearly killed by Suko and her henchmen. A deep sense of fury and rage consume her. Gina thinks to herself, "That little 'Princess' will get what's coming to her. I vow I'll kill those who did this....even if Royal Dragon had something to do with this. I trusted him, I guess he didn't want to dirty his 'Royal' gloves on me and had to send his fiancé. Wow, he's a real man." she thinks sarcastically. Tears start to flow from Gina's eyes as she thinks of her betrayal, her face reddens with her anger and she clinches her fist. She thinks, "I have to avenge this wronging but I'll need help. If I have to fight Royal Dragon, I'm sure he's a good fighter, I'll have to improve my fighting, maybe get a special technique to defeat these bastards. I'll send a cable to the CM Base, maybe Yamashidi or someone will come out here and help me." Gina gets dressed and heads to the local village to send a cable.

Suko, Sheng, and Keko have returned to the Kogasuma Royal grounds and greet Royal Dragon. "Hello my darling, I'm back.", Suko screams joyously. Royal Dragon asks directly, "Where have you been, it's been six days. I was ready to send a search party out after you." Suko looks at Keko and says, "well last week Gina Nackiomi sent me a letter challenging me.....um...because we were to be married and she wanted to stop it. Well, I asked Sheng and Keko here to come with me and to talk with Gina. Well, when we got there she attacked us, almost killing me. I was lucky Sheng and Keko were there, she was a savage fighter and would have killed me." Royal Dragon interrupts, "What are you talking about? How did you know of my meeting with Gina Nackiomi? Why did she send you a challenge? Suko looks around and says, "she was crazy I guess. But please listen to what I have to say darling." Suko grabs Royal Dragons arm and continues, "please don't be made but your sister told me about this, but I'm glad she did. I was wondering who this Gina girl was when I got that letter. She seemed very jealous when we met." Royal Dragon asks, "What did you do to Gina? Suko says, "Well.....after she came out me with a knife, Keko and Sheng here fought her off of me and forcefully told her to never bother up again and burned her cabin and sent to back to the CM Base with only the cloths on her back. She looked totally defeated and vowed suicide if she was shamed like this and I guess she probably killed herself." Royal Dragon looks to the floor with astonishment with what he's heard and asks, "she's dead?" Suko responds, "I guess, she was really crazy, just a savage, angry girl." Royal Dragon stands and walks out of the room and says, "I'll have to think this over. You should have said something to me. This is alot to think about," Suko shouts, "What's there to think about?!"

Two weeks later Gina meets Yamashidi at her lake cabin. Gina greets Yamashidi when he enters the cabin. Yamashidi enters and asks, "I got your cable the other week. Why haven't you been to the (CM) Base? Your father and others are worried about you. I'm glad to see you're okay, that sounded like a real ordeal. I'm proud of you for being skilled enough to escape from such an attack." Gina asks Yamashidi to sit down and asks, "I need your help in avenging this attack on me, I think Royal Dragon MAY have orchestrated this but I have to kill this Princess Suko and her henchmen, I just have no choice, I have to seek revenge." Yamashidi looks Gina over and says, "don't let revenge cloud your mind. Keep a cool head, I know that's hard to take from me but when you seek revenge on anyone you need to keep a level head." Gina responds, "I know, I need to learn some special skills to defeat these thugs. The two henchmen and Suko wouldn't be a problem but Royal Dragon may be. Do you know enough about him to know his style or a technique he couldn't defend?" Yamashidi thinks to himself and they says, "I never fought Royal Dragon but I assume he has had Kogasuma Royal training. Good techniques I'm sure, but probably not too specialized. I've decided to spend the next week helping you train for this, you need to be in superb shape to challenge someone of his skill. I plan too to follow you on your mission." Gina shouts out, "No sir, I have to do this alone." Yamashidi snaps back, "Bull S**T, your father and the others want someone to watch over you. I'm sure you can do it but we don't know who else you may have to face. I may not be your master no more but I would strongly suggest you listen to me, I'm not giving you a choice Gina." Gina responds, "Well....okay! But only if someone else interferes." "Sure thing.", Yamashidi adds, "So lets start the training."

Nine days go by as Gina and Yamashidi train. Gina is taught various new attack and defense techniques, endurance training, sword and staff techniques and physical strengthening tasks. On the evening of this ninth night, they both sit for supper and Yamashidi discusses the training. "You still have the fire within you Gina, you're physically very strong and your skills continue to improve, I wish you would have stayed with my Warrior Monks but I'm glad you're an independent fighter now. I know you always will have my back in battle." Gina says, "Am I ready now to seek my revenge on Princess Suko and Royal Dragon?" Yamashidi responds, "Yes indeed you are. To be honest, you really didn't need my training, I was shocked at how well you have kept up your skills. Let's have a good rest tonight for tomorrow we'll start your journey for revenge."

For a week Gina and Yamashidi travel to the Kogasuma Empire in disguise, searching for any information on the whereabouts of Royal Dragon and Princess Suko. They enter the village of Samashu and finally get information, from a CM spy, about a training cottage Royal Dragon stays at on the weekends. Both decide to investigate this lead. They arrive and find the cottage is empty but Royal Dragon has left his belongings within the cottage's bedroom. Yamashidi decides to wait for Royal Dragon and his crew, it's Thursday and they both decide to rest. Gina is nervous about taking her revenge on Royal Dragon because she still thinks he may not have know the whole story about what happened. She still believes he was a good man but maybe Princess Suko twisted his mind. Yamashidi and Gina discuss their encounter in the Union Republic. Yamashidi is angered he hadn't been informed of this. Gina confesses nothing happened. On the morning of that Saturday, Yamashidi awakens Gina with news that a Royal Kogasuma caravan has been spotted coming toward the nearby village. Gina asks Yamashidi to hid within the woods and keep and eye on what happens. Yamashidi bids Gina good luck and rushes off. Gina stands inside the cottage thinking about how she was almost murdered by Suko and her henchmen. Her palms become moist as she becomes nervous. Several minutes later she spots the caravan coming down the trail, only about seven people total, but she spots both Royal Dragon and Princess Suko. Gina is electrified with rage.

Royal Dragon, while traveling to his wooded cottage, has been thinking of what ever happened to Gina. He has now almost become content with Princess Suko but finds alot of what she has to say, a bit odd. It is a cool fall day and Royal Dragon is tired from a long week of political business in which has consumed much of the previous week. He thinks to himself, "I'm glad to be away from that mess." Princess Suko has been sleeping for the hour journey and is awakened by Royal Dragon as the caravan stops at the cottage. Sheng has traveled with the caravan as Suko's guard. They both walk toward the cottage as the guards begin to unpack their luggage. As Royal Dragon opens the door to the cottage Gina appears and screams a roar of anger as she throws a flurry of powerful punches at both Royal Dragon and Princess Suko.

Royal Dragon is totally stunned by her appearance and is unable to defend himself from her blows and falls down as he looks at Gina, dumbfounded. Princess Suko starts to scream but Gina pummels her with a series of swift punches and kicks . Suko tries to defend herself but Gina's punches fling Suko around, almost as if she was hitting a punching bag. Suko falls to the ground, dazed. Royal Dragon stands up and comes toward Gina, shouting for her to stop. Sheng and the other guards rush toward Gina as well. Yamashidi, from a tree top location, fires a series of arrows at the guards. taking two down. Gina's fury is now fully tapped. She pulls out a knife and runs toward Sheng who is coming toward her again. Gina leaps up and, while kicking him, slashes his face, tearing open large slash.

When Sheng falls to the ground Gina violently grabs him by the throat and chokes him. Royal Dragon tries to pull her off of Sheng but to no avail. He is totally stunned by Gina's fierce and savage behavior. As she strangles Sheng to death, Royal Dragon stares at Gina, her black eyes focused on killing. Her hands soaked with Sheng's blood. Her cloths stretching and tearing, unable to hold her flexing and thrashing body within them. Royal Dragon can hear her breath with a deep, angry pant. As soon as Sheng is dead, Gina turns and glances at Royal Dragon, a cold shiver goes up Royal Dragon's spine as he gets a quick eye contact with Gina. Gina then stands and walks slowly toward Suko. Royal Dragon shouts to Gina to stop or else he'll have to kill her. Gina turns to Royal Dragon and glares at him. She clinches her fist and growls to him, "Just keep out of this Juno, I have questions for you but that will come after I take care of this little b***h here." Suko crawls on the ground and screams for Royal Dragon to help her. As Royal Dragon starts toward Gina, Yamashidi throws a large net onto him. Royal Dragon feverishly tries to free himself from the net as Gina grabs Suko.

Suko screams at the top of her lungs. Gina punches Suko in the mouth and gives her a series of punches to her midsection. Suko falls quickly to the ground as Gina leaps onto her. As Royal Dragon tries to free himself from the net he sees Gina on Suko. With the net still on him, he crawls closer. He notices Gina is soaked in sweat, her uniform stretched out of shape, her petite body now full of pumped muscles. He knows Suko has no chance against Gina and he cries out for her to stop. Gina pounds on Suko with great force, then Gina grabs Suko neck and starts to strangle her. Royal Dragon frees himself of the net and tries to pull Gina off. Gina then leaps to her feet and looks at Royal Dragon and says, "If you want to die before your little princess, than that's fine with me." Royal Dragon asks, "Why are you saying this, I was told you were dead. Suko said she confronted you weeks ago?" Gina shouts back angrily, "Your little princess and her thugs grabbed me and threw me into a trunk and threw me into a lake. I was lucky enough to have escaped. What kind of twisted nutcase are you marring Juno?" Royal Dragon looks astonished at the news and pleads for Suko's life, "please Gina, she is a seriously twisted girl. I can hardly believe she would have done that but it is starting to make sense." Gina then grabs a limp Suko and pulls her up and pulls back her fist.

Gina shouts, "this girl tried to kill me in a very cruel and unhonorable way, I have to destroy her." Royal Dragon pleads, " please, if my fiancé did this to you....then take your revenge on me. I will not allow this injustice to be continued onto you Gina." Royal Dragon falls to his knees and says, "Let Suko go and take my life. If what you say is true, and I now believe you, then I'm willing to die for this." Gina shoves Suko to the ground and walks slowly toward Royal Dragon while thinking to herself. Royal Dragon takes out his sword and extended the swords handle toward Gina as he lowers his head. Gina looks at him quietly. Royal Dragon then says, "I would like to write my brother and sister a letter explaining my death so they are aware of the circumstances." Gina kneels near Royal Dragon, her fury slightly lessened and says, " I have no need to kill you. If you didn't know of this attack on me, then you are not to blame." Gina looks at Suko who is lying almost lifeless on the forest floor. Royal Dragon says, "I will banish Suko from my house. I will never marry a woman who would lie to me and who would kill or harm an innocent person's life. You have my word on that. If you discover otherwise, I will fully except the consequences." Gina than stands and whistles to Yamashidi to come down from his tree top. Royal Dragon is surprised to see Yamashidi and keeps a watchful eye on him. Gina says, "Yamashidi is just here to guard me against any unneeded attackers. He will not attack you." Yamashidi shout to Gina, "Damnit, I'm not your dog Gina, I will do as I wish." Gina gives him a serious look and Yamashidi backs away. Gina than says, "I will let this issue end here with your word Juno. I will not kill Suko, she is just a demented, sick girl. I suggest you place her into a sanitarium." Gina looks into Royal Dragon's eyes and says, "I respect your honor and willingness to give your life for such a selfless cause. I hope we can remain friends despite this. I think maybe one day we can meet again, under better circumstances." Royal Dragon looks at Gina and says, "I'm so sorry about all of this. I do too hope to meet you again in the future as friends." Royal Dragon and Gina then bow to one another and Gina and Yamashidi walk down the forest trail together. Royal Dragon looks at the dead guards and mangled Suko and thinks, "I don't know what I'll do now but one thing is clear, Princess Suko will be out of my life. Why do I find myself in these situations.....?"
