A boy fuses with a dragon spirit in a world where a public organization tracks and contains them.
“After it”Rusli Qingling commanded her partner Louis Glaser as they chased after a weakened sport through the alleys of the city. Pulling out her blaster she took aim and fired only for the glowing red orb to phase through a dumpster evading the white blast. Groaning rusli moved around the dumpster, her partner going up the fire escape.
With her on the ground and him on the roof, they chase the spirit herding it with their blasters.” this is it” she thought as she carefully aimed locking onto the flying orb.
Just before she could pull the trigger a door opened right in her path, with no time to react she ran right into it. ”Rusli are you alright” her partner asked, to which she responded with a pained groan. By the time she recovered the spirit was long gone, ”calle it in”.
“HQ” Rusli spoke into her communicator *sigh*”we lost the dragon”
Bitterfort was despite its name a very nice town to live in after you got past the ghost and spirit attacks.
Not that there is much of a problem with the spectra hunters, a publicly funded organization that hunt down harmful spirits and ghosts, capture and contain them.
Rusli qingling was one the of the best, while she doesn’t have a perfect recorded it is know that she won’t stop until she gets her target and god help the fools who get in her way, her determination was only matched by her charisma making her one of the more public members of the spectra hunters one of the more popular as a fact.
Moving unseen underground the spirit sensed a place to regains it streanh, shooting forward it entered the basement of building moving slowly to remain undetected it moved into the ground floor staying low. Perfect
“This is the place” Rusli's partner said, putting away his spirit rader, s-rader for short, as they looked at the bakery they stood in front of. Taking a deep breath they both smelt the freshly baked good within the store.
The moment they entered the store everyone's attention,” they is no reason to panic, we just missed lunch!” Rusli told everyone as they walked up to the counter.
As they read the menu both spectral hunters pulled out there s-raders. After they placed there order they moved around the shop exchanging words with other customers as they tried to pinpoint the spirits location.
“I have pinned it down how about you” rusli said as she bit into ont of the orange rolls she ordered moanin g as the flavors hit her tongue,”oh i am definitely coming back here!”
Lois nodded with half a triple chocolate brownie in his mouth,”no luck-”after freeing his mouth “-on pinning it down but it hasn't left the shop. I think it’s moving around or it’s possessed something or someone”. Rusli groaned but didn’t deny the idea possen was a real pain especially when it happened to living creatures. For various reasons one was that you never know what was going to happen, she remembers the time that fish like spirit gained the ability to shoot lighting it was a real pain with its already strong ability to manipulate water.
“Alright we talk to the owners … after our food.'' Louis just rolled his eyes taking another bite of his brownies. Ten minutes later the two had finished the snack and spoke to the owners, “we just need to look around the building, the spirit is already weakened it is unlikely that it regained any of its strength in the past hour.”
“ Alright” the forty year old female baker said, both hunters gave their thanks before pulling out their radars. Rusli went up and Louis went down, entering the house portion of the building she slowly crept around and moved the radar in a standard search pattern.
It was more than a few minutes before her partner contacted her,”the basement clear but it did come through here”
“I've got nothing yet-”her radar went off-”scratch that but the signal’s weird like nothing i’ve seen before. You better get here quick” following the radar signal she found herself in front of a bedroom door. Centering herself on a breath she gripped her blaster before opening the door. “Hot” she thought as a wave of heat washed over her body.
In the center of the room where she could tell the heat was coming from was a bundle of shifting blankets,” the spirit under them or has possessed them...one way to find out. Keeping her blaster trained she slowly crept forward, she circled around the blankets before reaching one hand forwards grabbing the edge, only to recoil at the heat,”fuck thats scalding” sticking her fingers her mouth just before louis entered the room panting from running.
“What took you”
“I knocked some stuff over and got stuck, so the spirit's under those blankets right” Rusli nodded but warned him not to touch it if he did want to get burned. They kept their blaster aimed while trying to figure out their next steps but they took too long as the blankets pile began to rise. Trigger half pull they watched as they blankets fell away revealing a teen there age.
Slowly they stretched out before turning their tired gaze to louis before to Rusli, instantly they face contorted in rage,”why it's been so long Rusli how you been” with each word the temperature in the room up a dozen degrees and the smell of smoke appeared when he finished.
“I’m sorry do i know you” she knew that was wrong the moment it left her mouth, the fist she had to duck made that more clear. That fact said fist was a clue where the spirit was,”this isn’t possession” she called out as she ducked under a flame covered heel.
“Yeah think” Louis said trying to find a clean shot,”fuc it” he decied before putting away the blaster, pulling out a pair of gloves he put them on charging forward knowing it was going to hurt.
Across the street a old man dressed for farm,” i thought they were a myth” he began to scratch his chin as a smile, it seems that thing are going to get much more interesting aren't they young queen!” laughing quietly he walked away just missing a stream of fire destroying a window.
