The Adventures of the Jade Dragon

Chapter 6  Down for the Count

Natassia’s eyes widened.  She had walked right into a trap.  And a trap that she had suspected all along.  She was in deadly danger.  But she did not panic.  She was Nova, the strongest and fastest superheroine in Metro City.  She readied herself for what might come. 

The man who called himself Mitlos stood at the bottom of the stairway, blocking her exit from the room that she now thought of as a dungeon.  “Get out of my way, Mr. Mitlos, if that is actually your name.”

“As a matter of fact it isn’t.  I am Count Rodna.  But neither of us have been truthful about our names, have we, Nova?”

“How did you guess who I was?”

The Count smirked.  “It was no guess.  I listened on another line, while you phoned your friend, the Jade Dragon.  I have been investigating the superheroines of
Metro City.  A few weeks ago I did not realize that such creatures existed.  But in this city they seem to be everywhere.  I have already conquered three of them.  And you will be the fourth.”

“Three?” wondered Natassia.  She only knew of only two.  Who was the third heroine the count was bragging about?  The answer to that question would have to wait.  She first needed to get past the ominous creature that was blocking the stairs.  Confident of her abilities, she flexed her powerful muscles, ripping apart her outer garments.  Since the Count knew who she was, she might as well dress for the part.

Count Rodna gazed admiringly at the beautiful female who had just revealed herself.  Her formfitting white and black costume revealed a perfect body.  Her face was unmasked.  Nova had not bothered to disguise it.  The Count knew what she looked like anyway.  And it was a fabulous face.  Extraordinary gray eyes, a straight nose, high cheekbones, and full red lips created a remarkable vision of beauty.  Her long black hair, freed from her flowered hat, flowed halfway down her back.  As she moved her large, firm breasts bounced slightly and accentuated her tiny waist, full hips, and long powerful legs.  “So many beautiful women,” muttered the Count.  “I must stay in this city for as long as possible.”

Nova advanced upon the vampire.  She had never met any individual who had been able to match her strength, and in spite of what master Zhou had told her about the undead, she was confident of her abilities.  She was possessed of more than just great strength and reflexes.  Prior to obtaining the mystical gem that had given her extraordinary powers, she had studied in a Shao-lin monastery.  She was well versed in the Chinese martial arts and would have been a formidable fighter even without her special powers.  Strangely, however, the vampire count made no move to avoid her, not even adopting a fighting stance.  He just stood there, inviting attack.  Although puzzled by the Count’s seeming lack of concern, Nova took no chances; she launched her attack with all  the strength and speed she could muster. 

She charged forward with a flurry of kicks and punches.  If any of them had made contact, the assault would have been devastating, but with a speed that Natassia would have thought impossible, the Count evaded all of her blows, leaving her swinging at empty air.  Desperate to score a knockout punch, she pressed home her attack, but with an incredible leap the Count vaulted across the room, landing a good thirty feet away from her.  Frustrated, the white-clad heroine stood with her hands on her hips, and called out to the elusive vampire.  “Afraid of a mortal?  I was told that a vampire was  supposed to be dangerous.  Perhaps, you are only capable of subduing women when they are unconscious.”

The Count laughed.  “I am just playing a little game with you my dear.  It becomes boring for me when I win so easily time after time.  I was hoping that you would give me a little competition.”

Natassia now realized that the Count’s movements had taken him away from the stairs.  There was nothing to stop her from escaping.  She glanced up the stairway and then back at the Count.  Was he really as dangerous as Master Zhou had said?  If so she should take this opportunity to escape and come back with reinforcements; preferably during the day, when the monster would be resting. 

“Go ahead,” came the Count’s taunting voice.  “You won’t get a better chance to escape.  You won’t have a chance against me.”

Nova was filled with a quiet rage.  This was the monster that had raped and molested her two best friends.  She had a chance to catch him before he struck again.  She turned back toward him.

The Count smiled.  “I see you have great courage.  Not too many women would dare to face a vampire in his lair.  However, I do not approve of your form of combat.  It is too uncivilized.  I prefer the sword.  It is a gentleman’s weapon – or in your case a gentlewoman’s.  As he spoke the count took down a pair of swords from the wall.  Natassia had made note of them as she entered the room, but had supposed them to have ornamental value only.  The count approached her, offering the swords to her handle first.  “Choose your weapon.”

Surprised, but not alarmed, she took the grip of the sword offered to her.  It was not a weapon she was used to, but she had learned to use many hand weapons during her Shao-lin training, and was not put off by the weapon’s lack of familiarity. 

“En garde,” said the Count, adopting a fencing stance.  Natassia took a step back, waiting for the Count to make the first move.  She wanted a little time to get used to the feel of the rapier. 

The Count’s attack was lightning fast.  Natassia just managed to parry the first thrust, but the Count pressed home his attack, hoping to catch the heroine unprepared.  Again and again his blade flickered toward her body, and again and again Natassia parried, but it was a near thing. 

“Impressive,” said the Count.  “I thought I’d have cut you to ribbons by now, but you’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at you.” 

“You don’t know the whole of it,” answered Natassia.  She counterattacked with such speed that the Count was caught off guard.  The point of her blade ripped through his shoulder and impaled him halfway to the hilt. 

For a brief second a look of shocked surprise crossed Rodna’s face and then he twisted his body with such tremendous force that that blade of Natassia’s sword snapped at the hilt, leaving her with only six inches of steel.  The vampire bounded a full fifteen feet away from her and stood looking at the blade.  Natassia was amazed that the vampire did not collapse.  A wound such as she had delivered would have incapacitated any normal man.  Then she realized that there was no blood.  Almost indifferently the Count took the blade in his hand and withdrew it from his shoulder.  He seemed quite unhurt.

Now the look of surprise on his face was replaced by one of cold rage.  “I underestimated you.  But you have missed your chance.  A vampire cannot be killed by a strike to anywhere but his heart, and I do not intend to give you another chance.”  Leveling his blade he now advanced on the unarmed heroine.

Natassia retreated before him.  “What happened to your sense of honor?  Apparently it only exists when you believe that you are assured of winning.”

The Count hesitated.  And then with a scornful laugh he threw away his sword.  “I need no weapon to defeat you.”  He faced her squarely, his hands on his hips, and suddenly Natassia felt the power of his mind.  It struck her almost like a blow and her knees buckled.  But this time, he was not dealing with a woman who was unaware of his presence.  Natassia had been trained in the meditative arts of the
Far East and her brain was a powerful instrument.  She fought back, forcing him out of her mind.  The Count, however, had been mesmerizing people for centuries.  Natassia was capable of opposing his control, but not of completely eliminating the power of his attack.  His mind invaded hers again, like water leaking through a weakened dam.  All of Natassia’s attention was diverted to keeping her mind free of his domination.  But the Count was using only part of his intellect.  As the heroine struggled to oppose him he advanced upon her.  While his hypnotic assault occupied her mind, he would defeat her in a more conventional manner. 

Natassia broke out in a sweat.  Even though she was fighting a battle with her mind, her entire body was involved in the struggle.  She stood helpless while the vampire advanced upon her.  Aware of what was happening, she was forced to stand rigidly while the undead fiend moved closer and closer to her.  Diversion of even a small part of her intellect from the defense of her mind would allow him to control her completely.  She was essentially paralyzed and helpless to oppose him.  Step by step the Count drew nearer.  Finally he reached out and gripped the neck of her costume.  Effortlessly, he tore her outfit from neck to navel. 

“Oh God No!” Natassia thought.  Her magnificent torso was now exposed.  But more importantly, the blazing brilliance of the Dragon’s Eye was revealed.  She now wore the gem of power in a pendant under her costume.  The bright green stone hung between her large and prefect breasts.  For a second, the Count merely gazed upon the stone, captivated by its splendid appearance, and also by the magnificence of Natassia’s twin hemispheres.  He had never seen a finer jewel nor a more beautiful set of female assets.  He reached out and took the gem in his hand.

“Aaaarrrggghhh The count wrenched his hand back.  Smoke came from the area where the skin had made contact with the stone.  Natassia felt the pressure on her mind disappear.  With a gasp of relief she fell to her knees.  Then the healing power of the Dragon’s Eye took over.  Renewed strength surged through her body.  But the slight delay also gave the Count time to recover.  As Natassia staggered to her feet, his hand flicked out again.  This time he did not touch the jewel but instead ripped the pendant from her neck.  The gem was gone, taking Nova’s power with it.  She took a step back, and then the Count’s other hand came from nowhere and struck her on the jaw.  Stars and bright colors flashed before her eyes, and then everything went black.


Natassia opened her eyes.  Her jaw ached and she felt cold.  She tried to move her hand to her face but found that it would not move.  She struggled to move and found that all of her limbs were immobilized.  Her eyes now wide with alarm, she looked about her.  She was completely naked and suspended in mid air.  Each of her wrists and ankles was secured with a padded steel shackle, and from each shackle a length of chain attached her to the huge wheel-like machine she had seen when she had first entered the Count’s lair.  Because of its ten-foot diameter no part of her body touched the rim of the wheel, which was canted at an angle of forty-five degrees.  There was little slack in the chains, and her body was pulled into the shape of an X.  Standing at the base of the wheel was Count Rodna.  He was watching her and licking his lips. 

Natassia’s chest heaved.  She had no idea how long she had been unconscious, but already the tension being applied to her body was resulting in severe pain in her thigh and shoulder joints.  Again, she attempted to move, but was rewarded only by a flash of pain from her overextended muscles. 

“You fought well,” said the Count stepping forward.  “Much better than your friends.  No other woman has ever inflicted any injury on me before.  Fortunately, like you, I heal instantly.”  He dangled the
Dragon’s Eye toward her.  “But now, I have discovered the secret of your power.  This gem, which is so painful for me to touch, gives you immense strength and the ability to rejuvenate.  It means that I can make use of you much more thoroughly than any woman I have ever had.  But enough talk, now it is time for us to get started.”

Stepping over the rim of the wheel, the vampire stood between Natassia’s splayed legs.  Leaning forward he placed the pendant around her throat.  Immediately, she felt the familiar surge of power.  “I have never taken a woman who could outlast me.  I would like to see if the gem can make a difference.”

Natassia felt the pain leave her body.  Tensing her muscles she gave a mighty heave.  There was a sharp clang of metal as she pulled the chains tight, but nothing gave.  Relaxing for a second she put everything she had into an attempt to escape.  The Count grinned, exposing his fangs.  “The wheel and the chains are constructed of high tensile steel.  Their failure point is rated at over five tons.  If I have estimated correctly that should be beyond even your great strength.”

In reply, Natassia strained at her bonds again.  This time her action was more desperate.  The chains held.  She tried again, arching her body.  The Count watched her struggle.  “Exquisite,” he thought, watching her supple breasts quiver with the effort.  He took a watch out of his pocket.  Twelve hours until dawn.  Twelve hours of experimentation and sexual pleasure.  Already he had an enormous erection.  He would have to do something about that.

Natassia watched helplessly as the vampire removed his clothing.  His movements were graceful, even elegant.  She had been raped before, but never by a man with so much grace and refinement.  She found herself becoming aroused as he slowly exposed more and more of his body. 

“This can’t be happening,” she thought in horror.  “I am about to be violated by a monster, and I am admiring his body!”  Then suddenly she understood.  The Count was influencing her mind, but this time less obviously.  His insidious hypnotic power was giving her ideas that were not her own.  She fought back against the vampire.  The attempt by the Count to take control of her mind seemed to Natassia to be another form of rape. 

“You are strong,” said Rodna, in mild amazement.  “In mind as well as body.  Few women ever realize the power I have over their minds.  Breaking you will be more enjoyable than I imagined.”

By now the Count was as naked as his victim.  Moving between her legs, he leaned toward her.  Natassia steeled herself for the attack on her womanhood.  To her surprise it did not come.  Instead the vampire began to slowly caress her body.  He started with her left foot, running his hands over it and then progressing to her calf and then her thigh.  Although terrified at her helplessness, Natassia found the vampire’s touch strangely arousing.  Her breathing quickened, and she had to suppress a moan of pleasure.  By now Rodna’s fondling had reached high on her inner thigh.  He crouched between her legs, and began to lick her skin, working closer and closer to her nether region.  Natassia began to perspire profusely.  It was all she could do to stop herself from screaming out.  His tongue moved slowly closer and closer to her exposed flower.  Just when she thought she could stand no more the Count stopped.  He stepped out of the wheel and moved over to the wall. 

Gasping in relief, Natassia wonder why the Count had stopped.  So strong was her state of arousal that she was almost disappointed.  Then there was the click of a switch and she understood.  The huge wheel began to rotate.  Slowly it turned until it was at about the same angle, but this time she was face down, her body canted about twenty degrees higher than the horizontal, her head higher than her feet.  The Count stepped back inside the wheel and again moved in between her legs.  Unable to see what he was up to, Natassia was filled with apprehension. 

She flinched when she felt his hands upon her shapely backside.  Her instinctive reaction was greeted by a low laugh.  “Do not be frightened my dear.  I am not going to harm you, just give you a little bit of pleasure…and pain.” 

His words triggered another attempt to escape.  Natassia twisted her body, trying once again to break the chains that held her.  Count Rodna enjoyed the spectacle, especially the swaying of his helpless captive’s large breasts.  He squeezed her flexing buttocks, enjoying the power of her smooth, powerful muscles.  Then he slid his hands up to the small of her back and down the sides of her torso to her taut belly.  Continuing to stroke her flesh he slowly moved his hands higher until her reached her soft, firm breasts, each of which was the size of a large grapefruit.  He massaged them, flicking his fingers over her swollen nipples.  Unable to contain herself, Natassia let out a small moan.  Despite her best efforts she was almost fully aroused.  Her breath now came in long shuddering gasps and sweat flowed in rivulets down her beautifully arched back.  The Count decided to wait no longer.

“Nooo!  NO Natassia screamed as the tip of the Count’s erection nestled gently against her anus.  With relief she felt him move away from her, but this was short-lived.  She felt something cold and slippery being applied to her backside and realized that she was being lubricated.  Then the touch of the Count’s phallus was back, but this time with greatly increased pressure.  “NOOOHH!” she screamed again.  Using all of her strength she contracted her sphincter muscles baring entry to her exposed anus. 

“Good girl.  Make a fight of it.  That makes it so much more gratifying when I win.”  The vampire lunged into her. 

“Aggghhhh!” Natassia protested.  “Stop!  Stop!”  For several minutes she held out against the vampire's attack.  But the issue was never really in doubt.  The undead villain was simply too strong and had too much control over his body.  He kept his phallus small, using it to pry his way past her tight sphincter.  Then with a sudden thrust he penetrated her.  “Aaaagggh!”  Natassia’s sharp cry let him know that he had succeeded.  Then slowly he began to exploit his advantage, working his way deeper and deeper with slow deliberate thrusts.  With each thrust his organ enlarged, becoming both longer and thicker until eventually he had impaled the screaming heroine on his full twelve inches. 

“AAAAAHHHHAAAAHHH!!”  Natassia’s screams were truly impressive.  She was in tremendous pain, but the Count relentlessly kept up the assault, pumping in and out of her like an inexhaustible piston.  The skewered heroine could do nothing but scream in pain and humiliation. 

The anal rape lasted for hours.  Natassia lost track of time.  The ordeal seemed infinite,  but finally it ended.  With a groan a sheer pleasure the vampire pulled his dripping phallus from Natassia’s ravaged backside.  With a whimper of relief, she stopped her screaming, and slumped in her chains, beaten and exhausted.  Within seconds, however, she began to revive.  She wore the
Dragon’s Eye, and its immense healing and restorative power flooded through her.  Round one had gone to the vampire, but she was not yet beaten. 

Natassia was aware that the wheel was turning again.  She suddenly realized that her ordeal was not yet over.  “Do not worry my beauty,” said Rodna, his gloating voice filled with malice.  “I am a just getting started.”

The vampire approached her, wiping his still engorged phallus on a towel.  Natassia quailed at the sight.  It was a truly impressive member, standing a foot long and as thick as her wrist. 

“This time,” said the vampire, as he stepped within the wheel, “let’s see how well you handle things without your little helper.”  He reached out and carefully removed the pendant from Natassia’s neck, making sure not to touch the flashing stone.   “We have eight hours before dawn, and I want you to remember every minute of them.”

Truly frightened without the power of the
Dragon’s Eye to help her, Natassia renewed her struggles to break free, despite the fact that without her super strength she had little or no chance to escape.  “That’s it,” Count Rodna jeered, “wiggle your pleasure mound.  It will be that much more enjoyable.”

“Please, no,” Natassia begged.  You’ve had your way with me.  Spare me any more degradation.” 

“As I said, this is just the beginning.  I do not intend to let you go.  I have never found a woman who could give me so much enjoyment.”  The Count was standing very close to her now, the tip of his swollen organ caressing her vaginal lips.  Slowly, he leaned forward, as he did so his weight shifted and he began to penetrate her. 

Natassia’s body shook with the strain of trying to escape.  She was perspiring so much that her entire body was slick with sweat.  Her back was arched so tightly that her body actually rose, supported by the chains. 

The Count took his time.  He intended to use all of the eight hours he had left.  He was now bent over his victim so far that his lips could reach her nipples.  His tongue flicked out, probing her swollen pink tips.  Tantalizingly, he began to lick the droplets of moisture off her body, starting at her left breast, continuing to the right, and then working his way up to her neck.  Natassia’s chest heaved and a vein throbbed in her throat.  The glans of the Count’s penis had parted the entrance to her love canal. 

“Oh God,” she thought, “why did I take such a chance?  Why did I enter the vampire’s lair by myself?  I should have waited for the others.”  A tear trickled down her cheek.  She was going to be raped again.  This time much more painfully than the first.  She would not be protected by the
Dragon’s Eye. 

The Count was now working his way down her body.  With a gasp of relief Natassia felt the tip of his phallus withdraw, but she knew that it would only be a brief respite.  The teasing tongue was at her breasts again.  Rodna swirled its tip around her nipples, arousing each of the pink buds to hard, swollen points.  Then he took her right nipple fully into his mouth, and sucked hard.  Natassia could hardly believe the intensity of the sensation.  It was as if her breast had been hooked up to the end of an industrial vacuum cleaner.  The brief feeling of pleasure was replaced with one of intense pain.  Natassia flung her head back and gritted her teeth.  Then Rodna gripped her left breast and dug his talons into its tender flesh.  Natassia grunted in pain as small rivulets of blood began to run down her chest and drip onto the floor. 

The vampire maintained his brutal grip even as he lifted his mouth from her tortured nipple and began to work his way down her body.  He stopped to suck her navel and released her bleeding mammary.  Natassia felt an overwhelming sense of relief, mixed with one of revulsion as the undead monster continued to slaver over her body.  His mouth moved lower and lower, eventually reaching her mound of Venus.  Dragging his tongue through her dark pubic hair, he found her erect clitoris. 

“OOOHH!!” Natassia cried out as a burst of sexual energy burst through her body.  The Count wrapped his arms about her legs, placing his hands under her buttocks, and lifted her slightly.  Then he flicked his tongue in and out of her vagina, stroking her clitoris with every movement.  “Aaaahhh!” she gasped.  The pleasure generated was almost impossible to withstand.  Her loins began to burn with a powerful desire.  She almost wanted the Count to take her. 

Rodna kept up the sexual stimulation for almost an hour.  At the end of it Natassia was screaming in ecstasy.  The Count now had full control of her.  She had let her mental defenses down.  The vampire’s hypnotic powers now held full sway.  Her vagina ached for him to take her, to ravage her, to do anything he wanted with her.  “Take me!  Take me!  Take me!” she moaned.  She raised her pelvis, inviting entry.

“Oh my God!  OH!  Aaaaaggghhh!”  The Count had assented to her request.  With a powerful lunge of his hips he thrust fully six inches into her, and then kept on thrusting.  His phallus was enormous, and Natassia’s tight love tunnel gripped like a vise.  Had she not been so well lubricated the pain would have been indescribable.  Even so, Natassia was soon in serious discomfort.  The pain soon mounted as the Count drove deeper and deeper into her.  Seven inches, then eight, then nine.  At the same time, he diverted more blood into his organ, increasing its diameter.  What had merely been painful soon became unbelievably agonizing.

“AAAAGGGHH! AAAGGHH!”  Her terrified shrieks of agony told the story.  “AAAGGHH! STOP!  PLEASE STOP!”

But the count was relentless.  He settled into a steady rhythm and pounded her sex organ like a jackhammer.  Tears of anguish, humiliation, and rage, flowed from her eyes.  Ever-louder screams rent the air, until she howled herself hoarse.  After that she was capable of only rasping whimpers. 

True to his timetable, Rodna ravished Natassia for a full eight hours.  It was an ordeal she would never forget.  She had been raped before, but never so thoroughly by one man.  The pain mounted as the vampire violated her.  Several times the hapless heroine teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, but each time she came close, the Count decreased the intensity of his assault, allowing her to come back.  At the end of it Natassia felt more devastated than she had ever felt before.  But all good things come to an end.  Dawn approached .  With a final thrust of his powerful hips, the Count ejaculated into his ravaged victim.  Then he bent forward and fed.

Almost too exhausted to care, Natassia felt his razor edged teeth penetrate her left breast.  For several minutes he lapped her blood.  Then he lifted himself from her ravished body.  The completely beaten heroine let her body go limp.  The ordeal was over – for now.
