The Adventures of the Jade
Dragon
Episode 7
Chapter 26
Zhuang Zhijian’s Surprise
Zhuang Zhijian swore under
his breath. He was back in his
audience chamber seated on his divan.
As he shoved another plate of quail stuffed with truffles past his
fat lips, he cursed his luck. What
a complete disaster! He had committed
the cardinal sin of any archvillain.
He had taken his eyes off his captives only for a few
minutes. What the hell had his
henchmen been doing?
It was damned fortunate that he had been able to make use of the secret
passage. Unfortunately, he had
lost his way in the maze of passages, an unforeseen event that had angered
him beyond comprehension. He
had wandered for hours while his men hammered stupidly at the armored door
to his audience chamber. What
had finally allowed him to find his way was the exit of the heroines using
the same secret passage he had taken.
He had been forced to follow them in order to find his way
out. Luckily they had not detected
his presence, but it was a frustrating and humiliating end to a thoroughly
bad day. It had left him with
a raging appetite that had taken hours to
satisfy. Now he awaited Chen,
who he had ordered to report on the situation regarding the heroines and
the Black Leopard.
Chen limped into the room. Zhuang
suppressed the urge to curl his lip.
His lieutenant had really let him
down. Not only had he allowed
all of the prisoners to escape, but he had let the Black Leopard capture
and humiliate him. Perhaps it
was time to replace him. After
what the Black Leopard had done to him he wasn’t really much of a man.
What was really galling, however, was the loss of all the
film. It would have been worth
a fortune. Still, there was one
thing. Lying next to him was
Nova’s magic belt. The
Dragon’s
Eye blazed as
he looked at it. What power the
mystical gem had! If only he
could find a way to use it without having to capture
Nova. He doubted that he would
be able to get her to submit to him
again. Of course, now he knew
her secret identity. That might
be of some use to him. He would
have to think carefully abut how to use that
information.
“The news isn’t good, boss,” said Chen, speaking
Mandarin. “The heroines
appear to have gotten clear away with the exception of the Jade Dragon and
Scorpion. Unfortunately, it appears
that the Black Leopard has them in her
claws. Her lair seems to very
heavily guard. It appears that
Stiletto has moved most of her men into place around
it.”
“How many men do we have?” asked
Zhuang.
“We’re down to about half.
Quite a few were injured capturing the heroines and a few more were
taken out when Stiletto attacked.
We’re not strong enough to take them on in a straight on
fight.”
Zhuang sighed. Everything was
so complicated. But he did have
a plan. He would use the information
about the identities of the women he had captured to full
advantage.
“I’m worried, Natassia,” said
Kyla. She was sitting in Master
Zhou’s palatial residence with Nova and the Scarlet
Falcon. “Zhuang knows who
we are. We can no longer blend
in with the rest of the people in
“I know,” answered Natassia.
“If it was just me I wouldn’t
worry. I could always assume
a new identity as could you and Suzi.
But that won’t protect my aunt or your family and
Suzi’s.”
“We can only hope that Zhuang keeps the information to himself,”
said Suzi. “There were only
a few of his senior henchmen in the room when he unmasked
us.”
“Yes, agreed Kyla. “So
far no more than a half dozen people know who we really
are. But we can’t count
on that lasting long.”
“There is one thing that might help us,” said
Natassia. “Zhuang might
want to use the information to bribe or threaten us and there is no way he
can do that if he simply tells everyone who we are.”
“Right,” said Suzi, “but I don’t intend to simply sit
here and wait for a message from Zhuang.
We have to do something. The
Jade Dragon and Scorpion are still prisoners of the Black Leopard, and Zhuang
still has the
Dragon’s
Eye.”
“Alright,” said Nova, “here’s what I think we should
do…”
Shopping. Next to torturing heroines
and sex, it was her favourite pastime.
Li Mei held up an exquisite Jade
figurine. “What do you think
of this, sweetie?” she asked.
Jahlen raised an appreciative eyebrow.
“Looks expensive. Are
you sure you want to spend that sort of money?”
“Who said anything about buying it?
I’m just casing the joint.
I’ll come back tonight and relieve the shop of its most expensive
items.”
Jahlen smiled slightly. The Black
Leopard was certainly more fun to be with than any other companion she had
ever had. And she enjoyed sexual
torture just as much as she did, especially when it was practiced on
her. It was certainly a strange
turn of events. A few days ago
she had been serving Zhuang as his
inquisitor. Now she was free
of the loathsome thug and had found a new lover and companion who was much
more to her liking.
“What do you think? Should
I add this to the list?” The
Black Leopard pointed to a large onyx vase inlaid with
gold.
“It’s a bit large. Do
you think you can carry it?”
“Between me and the Pussies we can manage,” replied Li
Mei. They’re not much use
most of the time, but occasionally they can be
useful.”
Jahlen smiled again. “Tonight
then. Meanwhile, perhaps we should
go home and take a little nap.”
Her eyes caught Li Mei’s.
“Excellent idea,” Li Mei
agreed. “We can certainly
use the …”rest.”
“Ladies, may I be of
assistance?” The voice that
spoke came from an elegantly dressed woman of oriental
ancestry. Li Mei had noticed
her when they came in and had marked her as the
proprietress.
“Perhaps,” answered Li Mei, “what you have on display is nice,
but rather commonplace. Do you
have anything a little more unique, and perhaps more
expensive?’
“Why yes,” the woman replied.
“We do keep some of our more expensive items for private viewing
only. But they are only for those
who might be able to afford them.”
She raised her eyebrows inquiringly.
“Allow me to present my card,” said Li
Mei. She opened her black purse,
flashing a large roll of cash as she did so, and pulled out a small card
with both English and Chinese characters.
“I see, Miss… Lee,” said the woman, looking at the name on
the card. “Please come this
way. We keep our better pieces
under heavy security.”
Li Mei and Jahlen followed the woman toward the back of the store, checking
out the security features as they did so.
“Heavy security my ass,” thought Li Mei. “I should
be able to break into this place in five minutes.”
They passed through a heavy steel door into a small
hallway. Before them was another
steel door with a combination lock.
“Wait here please,” the woman
said. “I have to get the
combination from the manager.”
Li Mei frowned as the woman went back the way she had
come. Why hadn’t she done
that to begin with? It was so
hard to find competent help these days.
Jahlen touched her arm.
“I don’t like this, Kitten,” she
said. “I think we should
leave.”
Li Mei was about to ask why, when the steel door behind them began to
close. With astonishing speed,
the Black Leopard leaped at the door, but she was a split second too
late. With a dull thud the door
slammed shut, trapping them in the room.
The two women looked at one
another. They were
trapped. The chagrin that showed
on both their faces told the story.
How could they have been so
stupid? They had walked right
into the simplest of traps and had done so
willingly.
“Idiot,” muttered Li to
herself. What a fool she
was. Zhuang knew her identity
and the location of her lair. It
was most likely that she and Jahlen had been followed ever since they had
left. She had committed the most
amateurish of errors. Her eyes
swept around their tiny prison.
There seemed no way out.
There were just two blank walls and two heavy steel
doors. She and Jahlen could do
nothing but wait.
Strange, in spite of the danger she was in, she was so
tired. She felt like sitting
down and noticed that Jahlen was leaning against the wall, her eyes partly
closed. “Think we’re
being gassed…” she murmured as her eyes
closed. Slowly she slumped to
the floor, dropping on top of her
companion. The last thing she
thought about was the importance of holding her breath and then the world
faded out.
Li Mei opened her eyes. She had
been having the most glorious dream.
She and Jahlen had Nova and the Scarlet Falcon on the rack and were
taking turns torturing and violating
them. She
yawned. “Must have dozed
off,” she thought. Then
she tried to move. That was
strange. Her arms and legs seemed
to be stuck. Slowly her eyes
focused; and then she caught her breath.
Sitting across from her was a twisted little man wearing spectacles
with lenses the thickness of the bottoms of coke
bottles. His bald head gleamed
in the overhead light as he leaned
forward.
“Good morning, Black Leopard,” the dwarflike man
said. “It is so good to
see you in such good health. I
hope you are feeling strong.
You’re going to need all of your strength before I’m through
with you.”
“Morning?” thought Li Mei.
“How long was I out?”
She checked out her situation.
She was bound, of course, her arms stretched over her head and secured
to the top of an inclined rack. Her
feet were similarly tied together at the
bottom. Someone had conveniently
removed all of her clothing, but she had been stripped so often in the last
few weeks that she was almost becoming used to
it.
Almost. It was still most
disconcerting to be stretched out as tight as a drum in front of a bunch
of leering thugs. Turning her
head she saw Jahlen in the same position.
Her lover’s yellow-green eyes met Li
Mei’s. They were wide with
fear and chagrin. Like Li Mei
she had been stripped naked and was humiliated and angry at the ease with
which they had been captured.
Another figure moved into view; that of Zhuang
Zhijian. An evil smirk was plastered
on the hulking Chinese crimelord’s
face. “You amaze me Black
Leopard,” he said. All that
cunning and intelligence and you were free for only a few
days. One would think that you
almost enjoy being captured.”
He moved over to a cushioned bench and sat
down. Zhuang almost never stood
for any length of time.
“However,” he continued, “you and Jahlen have displeased
me. I thought perhaps you might
both have learned your lesson.
It was my mistake to take my
eyes off you for even a few seconds.
Now you must both be punished.
And this time I am not going to ask you to discipline one
another.”
Zhuang turned to Retinoff. “I
was intrigued by the scheme you had involving the Jade Dragon and
Scorpion. Most
ingenious. It is most unfortunate
that you somehow managed to escape with all of the film of that
episode.”
Li Mei breathed a sly of relief.
Zhuang had not yet discovered where she had hidden the
film. There was still a chance
that she could retrieve it; provided that she could find some way to get
out of her current predicament.
Zhuang was still talking. “As
you see I have invited the good doctor here,” he said nodding toward
Retinoff. “Since you deprived
me of my prize I think it might be most interesting to repeat your little
experiment. Dr. Retinoff is most
anxious to try his drug on you. He
has developed a special version of it, just for you and
Jahlen.”
The Black Leopard felt her blood freeze in her
veins. She could not allow Retinoff
to carry out Zhuang’s plan.
The impregnation of the Jade Dragon and Scorpion had been her greatest
triumph, and the most humiliating defeat of a superheroine she had been able
to engineer. The thought of the
same thing being done to her and Jahlen was
mortifying.
“No,” she said plaintively.
“You can’t steal my
idea. It isn’t
fair.”
“Fair?” inquired Retinoff.
“Was it fair when you deprived me of my
manhood? And left me bleeding
to death? I could have
died. Do you know what it is
like to have to pee through a straw?”
“I can’t say I’ve tried,” answered Li
Mei. She couldn’t resist
the rejoinder. The anger she
saw on Retinoff’s face revealed her
mistake. “Oops,” she
thought, “should have kept my mouth shut.”
Jahlen cringed inwardly as she listened to the exchange between Li Mei and
the diminutive scientist. Much
as she had come to love the petite villainess, she wished that she had better
control over her words. It was
bad enough that she was stretched out full length, her nude body exposed
to the ogling eyes of Zhuang and his thugs, but her partner was doing her
best to anger their captors. She
had no desire to be put through the same ordeal she had suffered at
Zhuang’s hands once more.
“I think these two need to be taught a lesson,” said
Retinoff. “Especially the
Black Leopard. Her manners were
always atrocious and I see there has been no
improvement.” He turned
to Chen, who was hovering behind Zhuang.
“I believe you have the same score to settle with the Black Leopard
that I have. Perhaps it should
be allowed.” The diminutive
scientist looked at Zhuang.
His jowls jiggling, Zhuang nodded.
“Just make sure that no part of them is permanently
damaged. I want them in shape
for what is to come.”
Chen stepped forward, his face twisted in hate and
anger. “Remember, Chen,”
Zhuang cautioned, “they are not to be
damaged. Nor do I want them sexually
molested. I want them ready for
what the good doctor has
planned. Beyond that
you are free to cause them as much pain as you wish.”
Chen nodded. He dearly would
have liked to rip the two helpless women limb from
limb. He stood contemplating
his victims. What could he do
to them that would cause the greatest pain and at the same time leave them
relatively intact?
“Eaagghh!”
The dual screams of the Black Leopard and Jahlen could be heard several
rooms away. Zhuang paused with
a savory piece of roast duck halfway to his
lips. He probably should have
ordered Chen to gag them. The
noise was spoiling his meal. Still,
he couldn’t very well let the two bitches get away with what they had
done without some sort of physical
punishment. It just wouldn’t
be proper.
“Aahhh!
Aaaahh!” Jahlen and the Black Leopard screamed again
as the brutal electric current surged through
them. It hadn’t taken Chen
long to hook them up to the electrical torture device that the two women
had used on one another. They
were still bound to the same racks they had been placed on when
unconscious. Chen had attacked
electrodes to the usual areas of their bodies: their nipples, labia, clitoris,
ears, and lips; and had even gone them one better, slipping a large stainless
steel dildo into each of their anuses and clipping an electrical lead to
it. He had then turned up the
current to near maximum and let the pulsing electricity do the
rest. He had been torturing them
for almost an hour now and the two exhausted women were close to passing
out from the terrible pain. Each
surge of the current caused their tormented bodies to spasm uncontrollably,
arching their backs and forcing their muscles to contract so sharply that
their ligaments were almost torn loose.
Retinoff turned off the current.
“That will do for now, Chen,” he said
quietly. “I need them conscious
so that they can appreciate what is going to happen to
them. I assure you that they
will find what I do to them even more horrible than what you have done.”
Li Mei hung limply. Sweat dripped
from her body. Slowly she became
aware of her surroundings once more.
Blackness had been closing in on her, but now the terrible pain had
stopped. She was cognizant of
Retinoff’s voice as he explained what was going to happen to
her.
“In your honour I have created a special variety of the drug that you
used on the Jade Dragon and Scorpion.
It has several special features.
First, the drug will kill you unless you undergo the birth
process. Certain hormones are
released by the female body when a woman gives
birth. Only the release of these
hormones will prevent the drug from poisoning your body and killing you in
the most excruciating fashion.
Second, the drug I gave you to use on the Jade Dragon and Scorpion
was designed to produce healthy normal
children.” He paused when
he saw the look on the Black Leopard’s face and
laughed. “Yes,” he
continued, “I know that is not what you desired, but I had no intention
of giving you the satisfaction of forcing your greatest enemy to give birth
to a freak of nature, so I did not carry out that part of our
agreement. I expect you were
probably confused at the normal appearance of the Jade Dragon’s
child. Now you know the
reason.”
Li Mei bit back a reply. The
smug look on Retinoff’s face infuriated her, just as he intended that
it should. She had wondered why
the children borne by the Jade Dragon and Scorpion had seemed so
perfect. The little worm had
defied her. She should not have
let him go until she was sure that he had done as she
demanded.
“But for you and your friend, Black Leopard,” Retinoff sneered,
“I have created the perfect drug.
Not only will it increase your fertility, and accelerate the growth
of your child, but it will also ensure that whatever creature you give birth
to will be most strange indeed.”
He laughed, a high pitched giggle that seemed to indicate a mind verging
on insanity, which was probably the case.
He opened a polished wooden case.
In it were arranged several large steel and glass syringes, each filled
with a milky green liquid.
Carefully, he picked up one and approached the Black
Leopard.
“Wait,” said Zhuang.
“This is something that I want to
do. The Black Leopard and Jahlen
will bear my children, and I will be the one to inject
them.”
“As you wish, Zhuang,” agreed
Retinoff. He gave an almost mocking
bow, but handed over the hypodermic.
Zhuang was paying him well for his
services. If the Chinese crimelord
took pleasure in being the one to inject the two villainesses he would not
object.
Li Mei struggled to free herself as Zhuang
approached. The thought of being
impregnated by the obese crimelord revolted
her. Her stomach churned at the
thought. “Zhuang,”
she said swallowing. “Perhaps
we can still deal. You don’t
have to do this.”
“What offer could you possibly make that I might be interested in?”
Zhuang sneered. “Are you
offering me the films again? I
don’t need them. I am going
to have more than enough footage of your humiliation.”
“I have the Jade Dragon and Scorpion in my lair,” replied Li
Mei. There was a slight edge
to her voice. She was sweating
even more than when she was being
tortured. The full impact of
what Zhuang was going to do to her was hitting
home. She had visualized the
rape and impregnation of the Jade Dragon as the most degrading act that could
be done to a heroine. Now she
faced the same horrible ordeal herself.
She was ready to give Zhuang anything to avoid the same
fate.
“You can have them in return for the release of me and my companion,”
she continued. “I will also
promise never to interfere in your business again.”
“A most tempting offer,” sneered Zhuang, “especially considering
your record in keeping your word.”
He lifted the syringe.
“No, wait,” Li Mei begged.
“There must be something I can give
you.”
“Yes,” said Zhuang, “your
virginity. But I expect you lost
that quite awhile ago along with your sense of
honour.” Zhuang was quite
enjoying himself. Getting the
Black Leopard to beg for mercy was almost as much fun as what he was going
to do to her.
Jahlen watched silently as the Black Leopard pleaded with Zhuang not to carry
out his threat. She knew it was
no use. She had never known Zhuang
to ever show anyone mercy. It
hurt her to see her lover debasing herself, but knew it would do no good
to interfere. She tried to compose
herself. She wondered what it
would be like to be pregnant. It
could hardly be much worse than to be gang
raped. But being impregnated
by Zhuang. That was a thought
that disgusted her as much as it did the Black
Leopard. She winced as Retinoff
pulled the last electrical clip form her
body. He had already done the
same for the Black Leopard. Both
women now awaited Zhuang’s pleasure.
“Now where would you like this?” asked Zhuang, holding the needle
of the syringe just below Li Mei’s left
breast.
Li Mei could not stop herself from trembling, but she answered in a steady
voice. “Why don’t you
stick it up your fat backside, you pompous blimp?”
“How about here?” Zhuang said, pinching the ring that pierced her
left nipple. Pulling the nipple
erect, he thrust the point of the syringe into her
areola.
Li Mei screamed. The fluid that
Zhuang injected into her burned as if he had injected her with
acid.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” said
Retinoff. “Did I forget
to tell you about that effect of the
drug? Please forgive
me?” His high pitched giggle
showed the extent of his remorse.
Li Mei writhed in agony. As the
burning drug course through her body, the pain went with it until her entire
body felt as if it was on fire. She
screamed again, a long drawn out wail of anguish and
despair.
Zhuang gestured to Chen and a gag was placed in her open mouth, stifling
the noise she was making.
Whimpering in agony Li Mei watched as Zhuang undid the ties of his
elaborate silk robe, revealing his huge bulk and the fully erect phallus
that protruded like a pylon from the sea of
fat. Her muffled cries of terror
rose in pitch as he gripped her backside and guided himself into
her.
The rape ended quickly. Excited
by the prospect of impregnating the helpless villainess, Zhuang reached orgasm
quickly, spilling his seed into her womb.
The violation of her body was painful, and mercifully short, but the
knowledge that she probably now carried Zhuang’s child desolated
her. She wept silently as the
gargantuan crime boss withdrew his dripping phallus from her
body.
Zhuang waddled over to his padded bench.
He was tired but triumphant.
He had conquered the Black Leopard again, but this time by forcing
her to accept his seed. She would
bear his child. And the agony
of giving birth would be made all the more painful by being exposed to the
lens of a camera as her complete degradation was recorded
forever. His spent penis
still throbbed with the warmth of her love
garden. He had forced open her
delicate flower and plumbed her well of flesh, binding himself to her most
intimately. Soon she would swell
with his child, a child that he would take from her and use for his own vile
purposes. But not right
away. First he would allow her
to bond with the infant as she had allowed the Jade Dragon and Scorpion to
bond with theirs. Only then,
when the Black Leopard had become emotionally attached to the newborn would
he take it from her.
His eyes strayed lazily to Jahlen.
Ah yes, Jahlen. So many
beautiful women to despoil and so few years to do it
in. The beautiful Eurasian
refused to look at him or any of his men, fixing her eyes on the
ceiling. He could read the tension
in that gorgeous body from the slight rise and fall of her splendidly developed
bosom to the small rivulets of sweat that ran down her face and dripped off
the tips of her nipples. He could
almost smell her fear. This was
a woman he had tortured into submission.
She knew what he was capable of and was terrified that he would do
it again. But most of all, she
feared being forced to carry his child.
He felt his member stiffen just thinking about
it. Slowly he heaved himself
to his feet. His robe was still
unlaced and his impressive staff, jutted from the folds of fat that girdled
his middle. “Now my dear,”
he said moving close to his victim, “it is your
turn.”
He met Jahlen’s yellow-green eyes with his
own. At one time that hypnotic
gaze would have unnerved him, but not
now. He had seen his formidable
torturer broken and on her knees.
Now he would force her to bear his child.
Jahlen drew on her inner strength.
She would not beg the way the Black Leopard
had. She would control her fears
and not debase herself before the brutal
crimelord. She turned her head
away as Zhuang touched the tip of the needle to her left
breast. “Still the silent
one aren’t you my dear?” asked
Zhuang. “Let’s see
how well you handle this.”
Jahlen screamed as the drug seared its way through her
veins. The pain was indescribable
and she could not control the violent thrashing of her
body. Zhuang let her writhe in
shrieking agony for a few minutes before ordering her
gagged. And then he mounted
her.
Zhuang’s great bulk flattened her against the
ramp. It was like being buried
alive under a mountain of flesh. He
stank of sweat, and semen, and partially digested
food. She moaned as his thick
rod parted her vulva and penetrated her.
Grunting like a pig, the flabby giant punched into her like a pile
driver. The pain between her
legs matched that of the drug in her veins and she screamed in desperation
as he hammered into her. He took
much longer to climax the second time, raping her for well over an hour before
he spurted into her womb. By
that time Jahlen hung exhausted and demoralized from the
rack. Zhuang had conquered her
again. And this time the consequences
would be far reaching. As the
sweating, panting crime overlord pulled himself off her, Jahlen joined Li
Mei in tears.
Zhuang staggered away from the woman he had just
violated. He was exhausted, but
jubilant. He had just defeated
two of the most formidable women he had ever
met. His body and theirs were
joined permanently in new life, which would already be in the process of
doubling and then doubling again.
Soon, thanks do the accelerated growth generated by Retinoff’s
fertility drug, they would give birth.
He would be there to witness their pain and suffering and to take
their children from them. He
rubbed his hands together in glee.
Revenge was so satisfying.
His stomach rumbled. The
workout with the two villainesses had given him quite an appetite, and today
the cook had prepared deep fried prawns, one of his
favourites. Patting his belly
he waddled toward his audience chamber.
Today he had salved a little bit of the shame he had suffered when
all of his captives had escaped.
But there were still the heroines to deal
with. However, he had Nova’s
belt, and without it, the three remaining heroines were far from
formidable. He smiled in
satisfaction. Soon he would dominate
