Dragon Lady's Revenge

by Dragon Lady

It seems that Dr. Yin Wu had broken the terms of the deal he did with Dr. Destroyer, earning the master villain's wrath. I tensed up as I sensed the dragons breach through the ancestral barriers, reading myself for the fight. Then Ghost came rocketing in, devastating dragons with her move-throughs. Destroyer earned his sobriquet, killing dragons with his battlesuit weapons; and doing so with ease. Dr. Wu dodged Destroyer's occasional attacks and then summoned forth a mirror image spell to confuse his enemies. I took advantage of the chaos by leaping from dragon to dragon, stunned them as I landed on them with my flying kicks. My nemesis got wise to my tactics and ordered the dragons to scatter, but then Dr. Destroyer obliterated his mirror images with some kind of powerful blast.
 
As Dr. Yin Wu turned to face Dr. Destroyer, Ghost slammed into the latter. Apparently Luo Jian made telepathic contact with her and urged her to defeat the world conqueror while he was distracted by the evil sorcerer. Normally she tends to knock her foes into oblivion with her sheer power and speed; but this supervillain treated her blows as if they were minor nuisances. Wu sent his full horde of celestial beasts after his former ally, but it was of little avail. He teleported away as I tried to close on him, while Ghost tried to bring down Destroyer but without success. Finally, Dr. Destroyer unleashed a presence attack and bellowed that Wu would suffer the fate of all the rest: vanishing. This actually terrified the evil mage, who begged for mercy as he teleported next to Copper Spear's body.
 
I tried to use this opportunity to strike, but Yin Wu showed his martial arts prowess as he blocked and then hit me with a counterstrike. This strike would've stunned or killed a normal human. However, he did not account for the blessings that the Temple had given me and his attack only bruised me. Then Dr. Destroyer stunned him with a concentrated energy blast, and then opened up a vanishing portal behind the staggered sorcerer. Now was my chance for vengeance! I darted forward and punched him with all my might, knocking him into the portal. I finally had my revenge, "this is for Huang Yuen!" I yelled. I suppose I had Dr. Destroyer to thank for it.
 
The power armored figure was about to speak to me, Ghost, and Luo Jian as the ancestral spirits began casting a ritual. Then suddenly dozens of Dr. Destroyers appeared to surround him- revealing that apparently these are some kind of robot copies of him! The destroyers were furious that he had broken his orders and attacked him. This was a welcome distraction to give us a chance to escape.
 
Thankfully, the spirits managed to whisk me, Ghost and Luo away to the safety of the spirit world. There they revealed that they knew where the victims of Dr. Destroyer's vanishing had been sent and wished that I would go there to free them. Unfortunately this would mean that I would have to become a spirit like what I had done to the other chosen. I had feared that this day would come, but I had my sworn oath to defend the Yengtao temple to honor. I agreed to it, and Ghost offered to assist me. I gratefully accepted her offer, and I know the spirits were pleased- including the same ancestor that Luo Jian introduced me to. I finally have my revenge, but now I must save the world. Ghost mentioned that she had been built for it by her creator. It seems that she must honor her purpose as well.
