Time Passes...a Champion Emerges

As the days pass, the swelling increases, indicating that the eggs are indeed growing. By the end of the first week, the swelling in your abdomen has reached maximum size, big enough to fit the entire rest of your body inside. Since it is quite painful, you force yourself to think about other things. It is difficult, but you manage to endure it.

After that point, due to the weight of the eggs, you find it nearly impossible to move, so you spend most of your time sleeping or watching the TV to keep your mind off the ache. At the end of the 3 months, the doctor takes you to another room. This one is small and unfurnished, but the floor is soft and yielding, like a soft, cottony mattress. There, the doctor helps you to lay 6 large eggs, then leaves, again sealing you in. You are completely exhausted, and collapse on the floor.

When you wake up, you find that the pain is gone. But you still feel tired, and disgusted at what has happened to you. Out of spite, you decide to break the eggs. But when you make a kick at them, a powerful electric shock runs through your body, causing you to slip and fall on your back on the floor, the eggs unharmed. Once you recover, you feel your neck (where the shock came from) and feel something that seems to be partway between leather and metal. You manage to pull the material out just enough to get a glimpse at it out of the corner of your eye: a black collar around your neck. It is obvious now what happened. The doctor put a shock collar around your neck to ensure your obedience. You yank and pull at the collar in an attempt to get it off, but it is no use. The thing is on too tight (plus you recieve another shock when you make the attempt). You lay down on your side, grumbling to yourself, before falling asleep once more.

You awaken to hear a loud crash, followed by the the doctor's voice shouting something incomprehensible, then a loud roar followed by another series of crashes, louder this time. You cringe as an especially loud explosion-like crash brings down one of the walls of the room you are in. You turn to look and see a figure standing in the opening, shadowed by the bright light outside the room.

He steps forward, revealing his form. He is a tall man, with short, neatly combed black hair, wearing gold and white clothing that seems to have a slight metallic quality to it. He looks at the eggs, then at you, then chuckles to himself. "The fool." he says to no one in particular. He looks directly at you. Understandibly nervous, you back away. "No need to fear me, kid." he says. "I am Drago. That man was a fool and you were his victim."

"What do you mean?" you ask.

Drago laughs slightly. "Did you honestly think hybridizing was so easy? Of course not. Even if it was successful, the hybrids would be unstable, and would most likely not live to maturity. The only way to truly merge different species is the way I did it: through species fusion."

"Species fusion?" you ask, confused.

"Yes. I was once human, just like you. But I found a way to fuse my genetic code and physical being with those of the dragons, so I did. Now, I am the one true half-dragon. Species fusion is the only way to create viable moderates. Breeding hybrids would never work. Anyway, come with me. I'm getting you out of here."

You're a little nervous, but going with Drago is infinitely preferable to staying behind and being subjected to who-knows-what. You move to follow him, but Drago tells you to wait a minute. He aims his hand towards the eggs, palm out, and suddenly his hand ignites on fire! He tosses the flame at the eggs, which are instantly destroyed. He then puts a hand on the shock collar and does the same thing, burning the collar to dust. Surprisingly, you don't feel the flames at all. Then, Drago concentrates on something. His body begins to glow, and he shapeshifts into a half-dragon like he was saying earlier. He maintains a human stance and posture, but his body is now unmistakably a dragon, colored a shining gold.

"Come along," he says (surprisingly, his voice hasn't changed at all). "I will take you to my lab and then we'll see what I can do about your mutation there." You climb onto his back, and he flies off.
