Fenrir's Fangs

Chapter 5 - Welcome aboard

"Ok, we are arriving at Dragon´s Tail gentlemen, enjoy the view"

Crazy and Modem began looking through the windows in all direction with expectation, as they were looking at different spots, Modem silently called the attention of Crazy nodding with his head at where he has seen something.



"Welcome to the "Veinticinco de Mayo" war cruiser, made at Italy it was an emblem of the argentinian army, with six 190/52 mm cannons mounted on three double towers with a maximun elevation 46º angle and a reach of 28 kilometers, six double mounted Odero Terni 102mm on the bands, six torpedo launcher pipes, in two triple mountings, and six 40mm machineguns, a max potence of 85000 hp and 32 knots of speed. It also has a runway for planes to land, but we only keep a reliable surveillance hidroplane."



Both comrades were stunned at the view, and suddenly Crazy features changed from surprise to doubt.

"Wait a minute, this kind of ship surely need hundreds and hundreds of crew to make it work, how the hell...?"

"800, originally, but we have solved the problem, so to speak."

"Id really want to know How?"

"Oh, I let VoraX show you later"

With mixed feelings, both comrades made the nessesary effort not to ask more questions, fightings with their curious guts. A man with a fluorescent yellow biohazard suit which covered every part of his body, including face, was waving two flashlights in the air, and he continue doing it even after the chopper landed, he only stopped waving his arms in the air when the motor was completly off and silent. When they got out, Forge leaded them inside, but at a distance from the guy, Modem realized his ankles were attach to the floor by shackles.



"Who´s that guy?"

"Torchy"

"What he did for being shackled to the floor like that?"

"He died"

"What? You mean he is a..."

Forge made an ironic grimace while opening the metallic door to the inside.

"No more questions for the moment please, I don´t wanna be scolded"

He took them through metallic ladders and chambers, as they advanced, they saw several of these yellow, sometimes orange full-suit "dead" people, performing different simple duties such as sweeping, waxing, pulishing and others as drones, none of them seemed to even notice their presence as they walked by. Finally they reached a pair of heavy, artistry ornamented doors, portrayed on a carved plate were the phrase: "Dea Drakonum Spiritum Obscuritatis". Forged opened the doors to show a big chamber, very luxury and finely decorated, there were black and red dragon flags hanging from the walls, silver chandeliers and in the center, a long table full of all kind of exotic, exquisite food and drinks. VoraX was standing at the distant head of the table, wearing his armour, decorated with a red cloak falling to ground from his left shoulder, but with his bald, tattoed head and face discovered, he displayed a bright blonde bear, his clear green eyes showed camadery at the same time its gaze seemed to pierce the barriers of skins when reading a person. At the sides of th table there were more than a dozen men and women, also standing, some serious some smiling, it felt as an ackward welcome commitive, but there were also a dozen black biohazard suited figures standing by the walls as guardians, with different melee weapons in both hands each, and two women dressed in an extremely provocative way, wearing latex corsette, belt suspenders, tiny panties, nylon stocks, high heels and full covering latex masks, featuring tribal tattoos and all kind of extreme body piercing pieces and chains. Crazy and Modem seemed to lost their tongues at the complex, bizarre scene. VoraX spoke:

"We welcome you to our company, please us by seating at our table and share this banquet fest of honor with us"

Forge showed them their chairs and all sit at the same time, with courtesy. VoraX clapped twice and pronounce the word "WINE" in a strong, definitive tone, each of the fetish waitress began to fill the cups with ritual mechanical movements.

"Im sure you have an ocean of questions whirling in your heads, Ill answer them, but first i consider priority to introduce you two to the crew, you have already met Forge, our engineer, Tenchu, our assasin, OSM, our doctor, and Jexica, our best chef, the young girl dressed as if going to a dark disco at noght is Sukkubus, she will assist you with laundry and other minor tasks, the woman dressed in jeans and shirt is Sarah, she that guy over there dressed as a cowboy named Rural and the other one who looks as a "gaucho" named Tractor will do their best to provide you food, my cousin Carolina and the guy who is smiling with smartass face, Baali, are our chemists, Caro will provide you vitamins and Baali artificial drugs, if you want to. Farenheit is our firefighter, he will teach all you need to know about security aboard, Verdatta is the soldier at charge of the arsenal, you can ask him for weapons and ammo, Jack Zuta administer our resources and OG, Mystery, Eevee and Fangs are sentinels."

They all salute with different gestures when mentioned.

"I propose a toast for you two sharing this trip with us, and for the Dragon Spirit"

*clink clink clink*

"Drink and eat, dont be shy, this is your banquet and we dont eat this well often, take advantage of the situation and full your bellies, you will honor the effort of presenting such a table"

And it was a dignifying banquet indeed, there were chicken pig and cow meat, all exquisitely prepared, all kind of spices and cheeses, fruits, vegetables, pastas, sausages, wines, champagnes, beers, juices...all presented in such an armonious pattern it almost caused shame to ruin it...almost.

"I have always liked good cheeses and extremely chili peppers" VoraX claimed with a smile, and Crazy smiled too at the revelation of a side of VoraX he has never seen, friendly and with a very good mood"

"Yes, Ive always had a good palate, is one of my weakness, even if I learnt to live with no flavours for years, I still love a good banquet, that and good sex are the only things left who provoques me a smiling face"

Almost everybody laught out loud, except the Tenchu and Modem, the most reserved, who couldnt avoid to at least smile, driven by the contagious mood.

"Eat and drink in peace, we will chat after we all are exhausted of pleasures, we have yet to learn from Rome legacy, I tell you more, it is good manners in my table to go to the Vomitorium, a room designated to vomit so you can return and eat more, if a man cant be Caligula now and then, he cant know what freedom and life means"

Amazed but pleased, Crazy and modem tasted the best banquet of their lifes, even their former lifes before the outbreack, new flavours seduce their sensualities and they remember for a couple of hours whats to be human. Tractor lighted a huge weed cigar and passed through the retainers. It was the perfect atmosphere, despising the mystery surrounding them, they both trusted voraX with their souls, allowing themselves to indulge in such excesive pleasures.

When they were all plenty satisfied to the extreme, VoraX stand up:

"As I said, you need to know a lot of things I can tell you about this situation, but checking on your state, I dont consider its the proper time. Go to rest, tomorrow we all will reasume our disciplinary behaviour, and we will treat serious matters."

He lift his wine cup, smiling with a rogue gesture.

"The ladies will show you your rooms"

Sukkubus took Crazy´s hand and OSM Modem´s one, with lusty smiling they took them out of the festing chamber. Before leaving, Modem watch his own face reflected on the morrored panel which covered the face of the last non-introduced melee armed guard, and effort to make an inner reflection, but that lasted less than a lesson, as the arm of that perfect female surrounded his hip, and her wet, flavourous tongue licked his cheek...

It was the happiest, hottest night, ever, in their lifes.
