The Adventures of the Jade Dragon

Chapter 19  Dr. Retinoff’s Surprise



“How long are we going to be ignored?” muttered Suzi.  The Jade Dragon and the Black Leopard had been led away hours ago.  Since that time, except for another tray of food and water, they had seen no one, other than the guard in the cell corridor.  They needed to have the cell door opened in order to give them a chance to get the Blue Avenger out.  Unfortunately, that would probably mean another round of rape and torture.  

There was a sound at the door of the cellblock.  Several voices could be heard.  Then came the sound of marching feet.  “Get ready girls,” Suzi cautioned.  They had worked out a plan.  Since they were supposed to be manacled, Suzi had replaced all of the shackles that held them and locked them as before.  It was important that the guards not suspect anything if they decided to check before entering the cell.  Only the Blue Avenger was free and the plan was for her to be invisible when the guards arrived.  It was hoped that with the number of women in the cell her absence would not be noticed. 

The guards approached the cell and Kyla clouded their minds.  It was as Suzi had suggested.  Her powers were still operable; she just had to modify her technique to allow for the radio goggles the guards wore.  The rest of the women crowded the front of the cell.  It would be supposed (they hoped) that the Blue Avenger was at the back of the cell and could not be seen.  Since all of them were still naked, the guards might not notice any missing colour.  The ploy seemed to work.  The guards stopped in front of the cell without any sign of alarm. 

“Time for the Pussies to get a workout,” one of the guards said.  “The boss wants something fresh.  Your two girlfriends are a bit worn out.”

The last comment worried Suzi.  She hoped that the Jade Dragon was all right.  She was not at all concerned about the Black Leopard.  The Oriental villainess had worked Suzi over badly the first time they had met and it was not something that Suzi would forget easily.

As before there were several guards with guns trained on the imprisoned women.  Any attempt to escape would be fatal for at least one or more of them and Suzi was not willing to take that chance.  Only the Blue Avenger had any possibility of escape and even that required the cooperation of their guards.  Kyla moved into position.  She had to time everything just right.  If she waited too long the cell door would close before she could escape, but if she went too early she might be discovered by accident and that would probably lead to shooting and possibly someone getting killed. 

Unfortunately, things did not go just right.  The guards were not stupid.  They made a count of the women before opening the cell door.  “One of them is missing,” the lead guard exclaimed.  “Quick, get Krevak we’ve got a problem here.”  One of the guards darted off and a few minutes later he returned with Retinoff’s head thug. 

“You sure you counted right?” asked Krevak? 

The lead guard replied in the affirmative, but Krevak counted them anyway.  Krevak scratched his head.  “Damned if I can figure out how she got out, but we better check the cell just in case.”  He turned away and walked down the cellblock.  A few seconds later he was back, carrying a long pole.  “Alright babes, get into one end of the cell.”  He started probing the open part of the cell with the pole.  “There’s just a chance she may have figured out a way to make herself invisible again.  If so this might locate her.”

He was almost right about locating Kyla.  The pole almost touched her on its first sweep.  She only avoided it by dropping flat and rolling under one of the bunks.  She knew, however, that Krevak was bound to start checking  there as soon as he had explored the rest of the cell.  Her only chance was to keep moving around and hope that she could avoid being touched by accident.  Krevak seemed to have the same thought as well.  “Get another pole.  We’ve got to make sure she is not moving around in there.”

The man he had spoken to headed off down the cellblock.  A minute later he returned with a second pole.  Now it would be almost impossible to avoid detection.  Desperately, Kyla looked for a place to hide.  There was just one chance.  Scrambling on to the top bunk she made a jump for the top of the cell.  There was a heavy metal grate set in the roof and her leap enabled her to get her fingers around the bars.  Fortunately the cell had a very high ceiling.  As Krevak and the other guard continued their exploration of the cell she swung her legs up and tried to hook her toes into the metal as well.  She was now well above the reach of the poles that were probing for her in the cell.  Now she just had to hold on. 

Krevak and the other guard kept up their search for a good ten minutes.  Kyla was glad of her gymnastic skills and the conditioning regime that Master Zhou and the Jade Dragon had put her through.  Without them she could not possibly have outlasted the exploration of the cell.  Eventually, however, Krevak gave up, satisfied that she was not there.  Only then did she lower herself to the top bunk.  She could now wait for her chance to escape. 

“If the Blue Avenger is loose that is real trouble,” said Krevak.  “Tell the mad Russian the bad news.  I’ll see if I can find out how she got out and where she went.”

The man Krevak had spoken to took off down the corridor.  Krevak took his gun out of the holster.  He pointed it at the Scarlet Falcon.  “Get back,” he said to the others.  “You, Blondie, go to the door.” 

Suzi complied.  This was the chance the Blue Avenger needed.  The other women backed away into the back of the cell.  Krevak unlocked the cell door and threw it open.  “Out!” he ordered.  Suzi stepped forward, but as slowly as she could get away with.  Krevak reached out and seized her arm and yanked her out of the cell.  At that point Kyla swung down off the bunk and moved out with her.  She was not a second too soon; Krevak was already slamming the cell door shut even as she squeaked through the narrow opening.

She was out, but what to do next?  Should she stay and try and release the others or should she go elsewhere?  Her instincts told her to stay.  Krevak was chaining Suzi to the bars of the cell.  Who knew what tortures he was going to devise for her?  On the other hand, if she intervened it was not likely that she would be able to rescue her friend without greatly endangering her life.  She needed help.  She would have to go after the Jade Dragon.  Her mind made up she took off toward the torture chamber that Retinoff referred to as a laboratory.


Krevak had the Scarlet Falcon dragged to the bars outside of the cell that still contained the other captives.  She was pushed face first into the cell bars.  Making sure that she was firmly held by several of his henchmen, he unlocked the handcuffs from her wrists, but then had her arms pulled out to the side and above her head and locked onto the cells bars.  There was a heavy steel crossbar about six feet up that made this easy.  As a result she found herself chained to the cell bars, her arms and body forming a letter “Y.”  She was ready for questioning.

“I don’t have much time to waste, Blondie,” said Krevak menacingly.  “Tell me what I want to know fast or its going to get very painful.”  Suzi took a deep breath but did not answer.  She had to give Kyla a chance to escape and find a way to get the rest of them out of this jam.  “Have it your way then, bitch,” said Krevak, and he swung the heavy pole he had used to check the cell across her naked buttocks.

Thwack! The sound of the blow echoed through the cellblock.  Suzi gasped in pain, but gave no response.  She knew, however, that she could not take many more of those. 

Krevak nodded to the man holding the other pole.  Thwack!  He struck at her from the other side.  Thwack! Krevak struck her again.  Thwack.…Thwack….  the blows alternated.  Again and again the two men laid into her, their blows falling in almost exactly the same place.  Soon Suzi’s naked posterior was lacerated.  Each blow now splattered blood. 

“Uuuggghhhnn!” Suzi grunted in agony.  Another four blows landed.  She screamed.  “Aaaaggghh!  Stop!  Please stop!  Eeeeaaagggghhhhh!”  Her pleas for mercy degenerated into inarticulate shrieks.  It was too soon after her brutal rape of the previous day, and she was just not up to withstanding much torture.  But even so, she told her tormentors nothing. 

As Krevak had said, he did not have much time.  He knew that the longer the Blue Avenger remained on the loose the more difficult she would be to find.  Even though the building was tightly sealed against both entry and exit, there was always the chance that she would find a way out and get help from somewhere.  He had to try and prevent that and so he continued the fierce beating.  Suzi’s shrieks were more like the howls of a wild animal now.  When she could be understood she begged for them to stop the torture, but Krevak kept it up until finally she uttered the words he wanted to hear. 

“Alright,” Suzi screamed, “I’ll tell you, just please stop…please stop!”  She was sobbing almost uncontrollably.  In spite of his impatience, Krevak had to wait several minutes for her to regain control before she could start talking.  “She…the Blue Avenger…she…” Suzi stuttered, “planned to go through the ventilation system.  She’s heading for the power plant.  She’s going to shut down the building, and then try to escape.”

Suzi’s story was, of course a total lie, but she believed that it would take Krevak and his goons some time to check it out, and by then the Blue Avenger might have figured out a way to free them. 

Krevak acted instantly.  “You heard the bitch,” he said to his men.  “Check it out.”  He turned back to Suzi.  You better be telling the truth or you’re going to find that I was not even getting warmed up.”  He eyed Suzi’s bloody backside.  “Too bad you’re so beaten up or we could have some fun.”  His eyes ran over the women in the cell.  They settled on the Pussy known as Wildcat.  She was the only one of the women in the cell other than Violet Chambers who had not been sexually molested.  “What the hell,” he thought, “might as well amuse myself.”

Krevak ordered Wildcat to separate herself from the group in the same way he had separated Suzi.  Then he opened the cell door.  There were still three men with him to keep the rest of the women covered.  The frightened Wildcat stepped out.  She was a luscious brownette, exquisitely curved with deep brown eyes and high full breasts.  Still dressed in her costume, her bust to waist to hip ration of
3-2-3 was classic in proportion.  Krevak’s mouth watered.  She promised to be a most pleasant diversion. 

He had her handcuffed to the cell opposite the one the other women were held in.  Each of her wrists was locked to a crossbar about three feet from the floor.  Her legs were pulled apart and each ankle was shackled to the bars as well, so that her body was arched backward, her pelvis thrust outward.  The helpless woman began to breathe heavily in fearful apprehension of what was to come.   As Krevak’s eyes roamed over her luscious young body a powerful erection stirred.  He could hardly wait to fuck this bitch!

Quickly Krevak stripped the skintight catsuit from the helpless woman.  She began to plead for mercy.  “Please, stop, what you’re doing.  You have no right to do this.  I’m a villain, just like you.” 

Krevak ignored her.  He was having too much fun removing her costume bit by bit.  He had started with the top, using his penknife to rip down the sleeves of the thin material.  Then he cut across the shoulders and ripped down the front of the costume.  The woman wore nothing underneath. Wildcat’s gorgeous  breasts fell free.  They were exquisitely beautiful, almost up to the standard of the Jade Dragon.  He could not resist squeezing the lovely fleshy globes, massaging them brutally and then clamping his hands down hard, as if he was trying to crush the cantaloupe-sized organs. 

“Aaahhhh! Please stop!” begged Wildcat.  She might have resembled the Scarlet Falcon, but did not have her courage or self-control.  The girl was so frightened that her entire body trembled as Krevak continued his brutal disrobing.  Krevak cut away her leggings and then tore away the lower portion of her costume.  She was now completely naked except for her panties.  Krevak made short work of these, and then positioned himself between her legs.

“Nooo!” screamed Wildcat frantically.  “I’ve never done anything like this before!”

Krevak hesitated for a second.  “You mean to tell me you’re a virgin?” he asked incredulously. 

“No, but I’ve only done it with my boyfriend once.”

“Well, sweetheart, sounds like you need a few more lessons.”  He touched his engorged phallus to the lips of her vagina.

“Please don’t, it’ll hurt!  NOOOOOOO!”

Ignoring the girl’s pleas Krevak had thrust hard into her.  Despite her awkward position, she bucked like a horse.  Of course that only forced his massive rod more deeply into her tight vagina.  She gave a cry something in between a shout and a scream and writhed in pain as he pushed deeper and deeper into her tight vaginal canal.  Krevak groaned in pleasure.  This bitch might not be the equal of the Scarlet Falcon, but she was a mighty fine substitute.  He especially liked the way she whimpered like a child as he pushed into virgin territory.  It seemed obvious that her boyfriend had not plumbed her this deeply. 

After his initial assault, Krevak went more slowly.  This experience was worth dragging out.  He was having the time of his life.  First the Scarlet Falcon, and now one of the Black Leopard’s Pussies.  Could it get any better?


The Blue Avenger stood before the door to Retinoff’s torture chamber.  On the other side of that door were the Jade Dragon and Black Leopard, but she had run into a snag.  The door was locked and she had no way to get in.  If she had not been stripped naked by Retinoff she might have had tools in her utility belt that could have overcome the problem, but with her outfit gone she would have to find some other way into the room.  What to do?  Every second was vital.  Who knew what evil forms of torture Retinoff was subjecting the two women to? 

Kyla scouted for another way into the room.  Her search took her down a number of corridors, but none of them led to the room where her leader was being held and probably tortured.  Eventually, after what seemed like hours, she found herself back at the door to the torture chamber.  She looked desperately about, and her eyes lit upon a fire hose coiled against the wall.  She had a sudden flash of inspiration.  Uncoiling the hose she turned on the water full force.  “That should do something,” she thought.

She did not have long to wait.  Within five minutes the door opened and several men came out.  “What the hell is going on?” said one of them.  “Who turned on the water?”  The force of the water was whipping the hose all over the hallway.  One of the men forced his way through the rising water and closed the valve.  It gave Kyla the chance she had been waiting for.  Sneaking past the floundering men, she crept through the still open door of the torture chamber.  Now to rescue the Jade Dragon!

Immediately, however, Kyla became aware that there was something seriously wrong.  Retinoff and his pack of assistants were all staring in her direction.  Retinoff took half a step forward.  “Welcome Blue Avenger.  We have been expecting you.”

Kyla gasped in surprise.  Had Retinoff found some other way to see her?  She took a step to the side and the eyes of every man followed her.  She could be seen!  But how?  Then she noticed that their eyes were focused near her feet.  She looked down and saw to her shock that the section of floor she was standing on was glowing brightly.  The floor of the torture chamber was pressure sensitive, and her weight was activating it.  Several of Retinoff’s men had guns in their hands and their fingers were tightening on the triggers.   She had only milliseconds to act. 

She launched herself to the side just as several bullets stuck the area she had just vacated.  Her leap took her about five feet to one side of where she had been.  It took her attackers only about a second to discover her new location, but it gave her enough time for her next move.  She left the floor and jumped up on one of the counters that ran the length of the room.  For a second or so the maneuver confused her antagonists, but then they realized what she had done and began to fire wildly at the seemingly empty space over the counter.  It was only by good luck and some fancy footwork that Kyla avoided being hit.  She realized, however, that the game she was playing with Retinoff and his men could only have one ending.  Sooner or later they would score with a lucky shot and she would be dead or injured.  There was also the danger that the Jade Dragon would be hit by accident.  In her efforts to escape being killed she had not had much time to take in the plight of the two Oriental women who were still impaled on the double dildo, but she had caught enough of a glimpse of them do determine that they were in a very bad way.  Neither woman was moving, and to all appearances might be dead.  But what could she do?  She could not simply abandon her companions.  She had to try to save them.  Then her eyes spotted something that offered an answer to her predicament.  It was the circlet of silver containing the
Dragon’s Eye.  It was lying almost at her feet as she danced along the top of the counter.  Without missing a beat Kyla scoped up the precious gem and leaped from the counter to the floor.  She landed running and was out the still open door so quickly that none of Retinoff’s men had any chance to react.  She knew what she had to do. 

At top speed she raced back to the cellblock.  What she found when she returned dismayed her.  Suzi’s bloody body was slumped against the side of the cell, her strength having failed her after receiving what must have been a terrible beating.  Krevak had one of the Pussies arched backward against the bars of another cell and was rhythmically pumping in and out of the helpless girl, ignoring her cries of pain and frightened pleas for mercy. 

Rage boiled up inside Kyla, but she kept her cool.  Dashing to the side of the cell, she reached in through the bars and placed the silver circlet around Nova’s head.  For a second the brutalized heroine just lay there, and then the effect of the
Dragon’s Eye manifested itself.  Nova, who had previously been too sore and weak to move suddenly found herself pulsing with the life-force of the mystical gem.  All of her weakness disappeared.  Her ravaged vagina healed and became almost virginal once again.  The bruises disappeared from her body.  Within seconds she was standing.  And in less time than that she had snapped her handcuffs and was using her immense strength to bend the bars of her prison. 

Kyla meanwhile had laid into the men assembled outside the cell.  She realized that Nova would need a distraction if she were to escape.  If her recovery was noticed the thugs guarding the cellblock would open fire and probably kill or wound several of the helpless women in the cell. 

Kyla was not highly trained in the martial arts.  She relied upon her invisibility to aid in her fight against crime, but she had learned a few tricks from the Jade Dragon.  She knocked down two of the guards and distracted the rest.  Her first target was Krevak.  He received a powerful kick to the side of his head that knocked him sprawling.  The other guards turned to face the unexpected threat and that was all the time Nova needed.  The bars of the cell buckled under her tremendous strength, leaving a space big enough for her to force her body through.  Then she came at the remaining guards from behind.  By this time the confused men were firing wildly down the cellblock corridor, hoping to score a lucky hit on the superheroine they could not see.  Natassia came up behind two of them and seized their necks in each hand.  Then she squeezed.  Both men had time for a partial scream before her hands crushed their vertebrae.  They died almost instantly.  The other four whirled to face the new threat and Kyla slammed into them from behind, coming at them at a run and then vaulting into them like a tumbler.  Her feet slammed full into the back of one of the men and sent him sprawling.  Natassia picked up the man closest to her and swung his entire body like a club.  It flattened the remaining two men.  Before they could recover the heroines finished them off.

Now there was simply the matter of the women who had not yet escaped the cell, or who like Suzi and Wildcat, had been severely molested.  Nova laid her hands on each of the survivors in turn.  The power of the
Dragon’s Eye flowed from her hands and healed their injuries.  Within seconds the effects of the ordeal each of them had undergone disappeared.  Kyla made sure that Natassia also touched her, as she was still feeling the effects of the previous day’s mauling.  Then the rejuvenated women headed for Retinoff’s torture chamber. 

Kyla went first, as her invisibility would give her some advantage, but Natassia and Suzi were right behind.  A little behind them were the four Pussies and last of all was Violet Chambers, who although she was not feeling very brave, felt she had to take part.

When they arrived, the door to the room was locked once again, but it only took Suzi a few seconds to pick the lock.  Then Kyla poked her head inside the door.  She found the room was pitch black.  Retinoff had turned off all the lights.  For a second she was a bit surprised by this tactic and then she realized the danger.  She pulled her head back just before a dozen shots rang out.  If she had kept her head there it would probably have been hit.  Bullets continued to fly through the door.  It was obvious that the men inside the room were simply shooting at the light. 

Suzi figured out a solution to the problem.  She simply turned off the lights in the hall.  Now it was dark everywhere.  Of course, the lack of light cancelled out Kyla’s advantage, but it allowed Natassia and Suzi to enter the room as if they were invisible.  Now if only Retinoff would leave the light off long enough….

Inside the torture chamber Retinoff felt a twinge of fear.  The captive heroines and villainesses had seemed so helpless, and he had been so confident of his sophisticated security system.  But now everything seemed to be coming apart.  How could it be that a bunch of damned women could overcome the work of his genius?  He waited in the darkened room.  It was the only way he could nullify the advantage her invisibility gave the Blue Avenger.  Too late he realized that he could no longer see the other heroines either.  He panicked.  It was time to get out. 

Natassia, Kyla, and Suzi charged into the darkened room.  Nova led the way, as she was less susceptible to injury, the
Dragon’s Eye giving her a form of invulnerability due to its healing power.  Retinoff’s men fired blindly into the dark, but most of their shots came nowhere near the mark.  All three women kept low and the bullets flew harmlessly over their heads.  And then they were among Retinoff’s thugs, guided by the muzzle flashes of the firearms. 

It was absolute mayhem.  Nova seized one villain in each hand and shattered their skulls by smashing their heads together, and then she threw their lifeless bodies in the general direction of the other men.  Suzi used her martial arts skills to disarm the man closest to her and then smashed his throat with a knife-hand.  The screams of the injured men added to their panic and soon most of them were fighting to get out of the darkened room. 

Kyla headed for the Jade Dragon.  She couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her friend impaled on a monstrous dildo.  It was not that easy in the dark, but she had a good sense of where she had seen the two Orientals on her first visit to the room and soon located them.  Neither woman seemed to be conscious, but she determined that both were alive.  Grabbing the Jade Dragon about the waist she tried to lift her from the brutal instrument that had almost torn her apart.   Then she realized that the task was impossible as long as she was linked to the Black Leopard by the nipple rings.  She would have to get help.

Retinoff’s men were by now in full flight.  They piled out through the door to the torture chamber, but they ran into an unexpected obstacle.  The Black Leopard’s Pussies had not followed the three heroines into the room, but instead they had waited outside.  As Retinoff’s thugs fled for their lives they ran right into the vengeful women.  Although not as skilled as Suzi or Nova in the martial arts, they were more than a match for the mad doctor’s henchmen.  A flurry of kicks and punches dropped most of the fleeing hoodlums as they crammed through the narrow exit. 

“Nova, quick, I need you.”  It was Kyla calling for help.  By now Natassia and Suzi had run out of villains to punch.  Although it was still pitch black in the room they had managed to find and eliminate more than a dozen men.  The others had fled.  Suzi took it upon herself to turn the lights on. 

“My God!” exclaimed Suzi.  Nova just gasped.  The Jade Dragon and the Black Leopard seemed to be dead.  Both were slumped forward, leaning on each other, the huge double dildoes keeping them upright.  Then the Black Leopard moved slightly and gave a little moan.  Nova leaped forward.  Wrapping her arms about both of the semi-conscious women she lifted them gently from the brutal instruments that had impaled them.  Almost immediately the Jade Dragon and Black Leopard began to stir.  The tremendous healing power of the
Dragon’s Eye flowing through Nova’s body was now coursing through their bodies.  Within seconds the injuries inflicted by Retinoff and his henchmen disappeared.  Both women felt completely rejuvenated. 

Nova set them down.  Their injuries healed, Sun Lin and Li Mei were now able to stand.  It was the matter of only a few seconds for Suzi to snip through the nipple rings that held them together.  With Nova’s hands still on them, the wounds in their breasts healed almost instantly. 

“Thank goodness you’re all right,” said Suzi hugging the Jade Dragon.  Nova and the Blue Avenger also embraced their leader.  The four women now looked about them.  “Where’s Retinoff?” asked Sun Lin.  The evil scientist was nowhere in the room. 

“Perhaps he escaped through the door,” suggested Kyla.

“No one got by us,” said Tiger, stepping through the door, “especially not that little rat.”

The Black Leopard had been standing to one side.  She now joined her Pussies.  “I’ve got an idea,” she said.  “Why don’t we put some frigging clothes on?” 

The four heroines raised their eyebrows at the Asian villainess’s bad language, but nodded their heads.  They were all completely nude.  Unfortunately, Retinoff had destroyed their costumes, but a little search revealed a large closet containing a dozen lab smocks and in a drawer several pairs of trousers.  Quickly they dressed and then the heroines and villainesses faced each other.  They were natural enemies and the Black Leopard and her cohorts realized that they were completely overmatched.  Slowly they edged toward the still open door.  None of the heroines made any attempt to stop them.  Violet Chambers watched them go.  She had remained apart during the attack on Retinoff’s torture chamber.  “You’re not just going to let them escape?” she exclaimed, shocked. 

“We shouldn’t, but we are,” replied the Jade Dragon.  “We’re all women, and we’ve all been subjected to the same indignities.  If we meet again I will treat them as criminals.  Right now, however, I want Retinoff.”

Violet continued to protest this lenient treatment of the women who had kidnapped her, but her arguments fell on deaf ears.  The four heroines began to scour Retinoff’s facility looking for some sign of the vanished madman, but all they discovered were a few more traps, some of them quite deadly.  Finally, the Jade Dragon broke off the search.  “I think we are wasting our time looking for him, the best thing we can do is destroy this place before anyone else gets hurt.”

“I’ll see to that,” said Suzi.  During the search she had come across a number of flammable liquids.  She used some of Retinoff’s own electrical components to put together a small triggering device.  She flicked a switch.  “We’ve got thirty minutes to get out of here and then the whole place will go up.  That should give us time to get clear.”

Nova suddenly had a thought.  “What about the cops who were trapped in the Black Leopard’s lair?  Were they released?” 

“If they were not, then expect the entire
Metro City police force to be somewhere outside,” said Suzi.  “That might make it tough for us to escape undetected.”

“I’ve got an idea,” said Kyla.  “During the search I came across a service corridor.  I suspect it goes out under the streets of the city and hooks up to the main power and water systems.  We could send Violet upstairs and then head out that way.  Violet could tell anyone who is up there to get away to avoid the explosion.

The women nodded.  Even Violet, still angry at having her kidnappers released, went along with the plan.  At the bottom of the secret staircase where Suzi had been waylaid the heroines and Violet parted.  She gave them all a hug.  She did not approve of the sense of justice exhibited by the female vigilantes, but she recognized that they had all suffered greatly on her behalf.  She embraced each of them in turn.  “If I may be of any service to you in the future please call on me,” she said.  Then she turned and went up the stairs.

The Jade Dragon  turned to the Blue Avenger.  “Lead the way.  It’s time we got home.  I think we could all use a little rest.”  The others agreed.  They might be healed physically, but they still had emotional scars to deal with.  It was always thus for female superheroines.  They had to deal with more than just death and danger.  Rape and degradation took a great deal out of them.  They all needed time to recover.


The Black Leopard licked her psychological wounds.  She had been defeated by the Jade Dragon and betrayed by the mad doctor.  She was lucky to have escaped with her freedom.  Her greatest fear was of imprisonment.  In many ways she was like a wild animal.  She was also a bit perplexed.  Why had the Jade Dragon allowed her to escape?  She shook her head.  Her adversary was a very strange woman.  In her position she would have made her enemy suffer, not let her go.  Still, she had to admit a grudging admiration for the Chinese heroine.  She had borne up well under the torture; much better than she had herself.  She was a courageous and dangerous adversary.  One who would be well worth defeating.  However, that victory would have to wait until later.  She had someone else to deal with first, and she knew just where to find him.


Deep underground Ivan Retinoff downed another shot of vodka.  He normally did not drink, but his narrow escape had left him shaken.  He was both angry and relieved at the same time.  “Damned superheroines,” he raged.  “I should have killed them instead of fucking them.  I could have had the Black Leopard all to myself.”  He licked his lips at the thought.  “I’ll get another chance.  One of these days I’ll own those bitches’ backsides.”  Already new schemes were whirling through his mind, along with ideas for new inventions.  It was a paradox that although Retinoff’s warped mind was decades ahead of his time in terms of scientific development, it never occurred to him that there was any commercial application for any of his discoveries.  And so he stewed in his own juices, his brain burning with thoughts of revenge.  One day he would get even,  The world had not heard the last of Ivan Retinoff.  In the meantime he had to rebuild his little empire.  Without the Black Leopard to finance him, he would have to devote more of his time to crime.  The first thing would be to rebuild his criminal organization.  All of his assistants were dead or captured.  He would have to start recruiting all over again.  At least he had one thing in his favor and that was the location of his current hideout.  No one knew where he was.  He had created this hidey-hole just for the sort of emergency that had occurred.  It was a mini-lab, a single room crammed with scientific equipment.  It would serve well as a starting point for his comeback.  “Might as well get started,” he muttered.  Suddenly he heard a slight noise behind him. 

He began to turn, but was too late.  A hood was pulled over his head and a drawstring was pulled tight, rendering him blind.  He floundered about in a desperate attempt to escape, but the weight of his assailant bore him to  the floor.  In a few seconds his hands were pulled behind his back and he was rendered completely helpless.  Then he heard a voice that made his blood run cold.  “Didn’t know that I was aware of this place did you, Doc?”  It was the Black Leopard!

Frightened almost out of his wits he struggled to free himself, but he was held fast.  In complete terror he actually wet his pants.  “Naughty, naughty,” chided the Black Leopard.  You should be toilet trained by now.  Let me help you out of those wet things.” 

Retinoff quailed as he felt the Asian villainess removing his pants.  “What are you going to do?” he moaned.  “Please don’t hurt me.  I’ll work for you again.  I’m sorry for what I did.  I don’t know what came over me.  Please, remember what a good team we make.”

“Oh, I remember alright, Doc.  I remember you almost splitting me in half with that artificial prick you stuck into me.  And then you chained my tits to my worst enemy.  I doubt that I’ll forget that for the rest of my life.” 

By now Li Mei had rendered Retinoff naked from the waist down.  Unable to see what she was doing, he imagined the worst.  “I think I’ll give you a little something to remember me by”, she said.  “Something that will stimulate your memory every day for the rest of your life." 

Retinoff felt the Black Leopard’s hand close on his tiny penis.  “What are you going to do!” he exclaimed in alarm.

“You’re pretty good at building artificial dinks, aren’t you, Doc?”  I’m going to give you a chance to build a whole new one for yourself.  Retinoff felt something tighten around his penis and testicles.  “There,” Li Mei said.  “That should keep you from bleeding to death.  Now, hold your breath, this might hurt a little bit.”

Retinoff shrieked in terror as he felt the blade of a very sharp knife against the underside of his phallus.  But that was nothing compared to the noise he made a few seconds later.
