The rise of the King cobra

As the four of us stood still in the hallway, Gloria only rolled her eyes and walked past us. Ignoring the small tension that was going on.

"I don't care how all of you are here, I just want to go home." She said with a tired look in her eyes, walking down the stairs to the second floor.

"So… shall we have a chat?" I asked, only to support myself on the wall, holding my ribs in pain.

"Right after we get you some meds." He sighed and tried to get up, only to remember the situation he was in.

"Uhhh. Mind telling your twin too.." The clone the released his wrist, while the green slimed girl removed the barrel of her pistol away.

"Well now, it seems we are all fine with the situation, shall we relocate ourselves to discuss on the share?" Maine and the girl I had met both began to walk out, leaving me behind.

"Well, how rude." I huffed, but i had no choice but to limp after them, since my ribs were likely cracked.

As I tried to follow them, I nearly stumbled a few times. Only to catch myself, I wasn't surprised they didn't bother to help me, since none of us knew each other.

Only to feel an arm holding me up, looking at the person, I could see it was the girl from before.

"So, Mr. Cobra, what's it like to be wanted by someone?" She teased while holding up what looked like a pad.

On it, it showed the wanted poster for my head. I had to be honest, I had completely forgot about it, since I had been busy modifying my home, and exploring the areas.

"Am I to assume that I'm about to be kidnapped?" All it took was a barrel under my chin to know my answer.

"Ah, I see." Seeing the situation was in, I had two choices, either a, I could kill them all and leave with only a broken rib, or b, I comply and kill the person who placed the bounty on my head.

"Something tells me this is isn't the reason why." I said while following her, I tried to place the bait, to try and drag out any information.

"You're right, and the reson for that is simple…" She was about to state why, but then placed her finger on her lips.

"But I'm not telling you~." Seeing that she didn't take my bait, I was about to kill her. But with the barrel poking my chin, I withdrew my hand.

"Sorry, but I can't let you kill lil ol' me." She said and raised her hands, extending claw like implants from her fingers.

"Besides, I want to see what you are hiding under that mask." She spoke in a sultry tone, the blades lightly scratched the mask, leaving small scratch marks.

"Sasha, stop playing with the package, we need him alive!" Shouted the man, but when he turned to look at me, all he could do was look away.

He began to muttered something under his breath, but since he spoke quietly, I couldn't hear what he wanted to say.

Sasha kept the barrel aimed under my chin, making me walk with her. But for some reason, she was smiling, and not because of the huge sum of money she was about to receive.

But because of something else, she didn't try to force me to walk, didn't insult me, she was genuinely helping me.

"Your not after the money, are you?" I asked the leader, causing him to flinch and stop, making my so called helper also stop as well.

"Damn, you really are smart and freaky." He said and turned around to walk towards me. Once he stood in front of me, he towered over me and tried to intimidate me.

"Yeah, you're right about that." He then gripped me by my throat, lifting me up so I could be on his eye level.

"We want to have a word with you, and since you are still ganic, I think we can come up with a deal." Hearing the word deal, I knew I had to do something.

But with my current situation, I was at a dead end. The only way I could make my move was when I had more space, so, I was forced to play along.

"What is this deal you wish to make?" I spoke while struggling to breath.

"Simple, the gonk that wants you alive is actually our target, but since our handler was kidnapped we had to focus on gettin her back." He explained and tossed me to the side.

Causing my broken rib to pierce my lung, I gasped at the pain and could feel the blood filling my lung.

"I may not be a doctor, but I know that your rib pierced your lung, so you got two choices." He said while leaning close to me.

"Ya either act as bait, or I can drag your dead corps to the client and be done for the day." He said while wearing a smug grin on his face.

He had placed me in a hard spot with two poison chalices in front of me, I can either act as a slave, or die.

"Y-you…" I couldn't talk much and began to vomit my blood, but with my mask on, it began to fill up, with my blood slowly dripping down onto my suit.

I was glad I wore black, but with the white dress shirt I was wearing, it was stained and began to expand.

'I'm going to make him regret ever putting me on this spot!' I thought, he then even knelt down to place his hand on his ear.

"What was that? You'll agree to help us?" I could only nod my head and toss my pride, i think i know what i going through.

Humiliation.

I'll admit, I don't like it one bit. Being made as a fool and forced to wear a jester outfit, it's something I don't want to experience again.

"Good pet, Sasha, patch him up." He said and left, Sasha soon began to slip towards me, with a small box in her hand.

Before she could do anything, I snatched it out of her hand and stabbed myself with it. Feeling the needle pierce my skin, I could feel something slowly patching my wound, even placing the rib back in place.

I moved my mask to the side and began to spew out the blood that was in my lungs, retching a bit of my lunch as well.

"Here you go." In her hand was a small bar, I didn't bother asking what it was and began to eat, feeling the energy I had lost quickly come back to me.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked while placing my mask on place, she only placed her finger on her cheek and tilted her head to the side.

"Because, you seem like a fun person to talk to." She smiled, as she continued to stare at me, I tilted my head back as well.

"Because… I'm fun to talk to?" I was confused at her response, flabbergasted even. I couldn't understand what she meant.

"Yup, with how mysterious you are, how you have these companions you have." She bent over to see one of the snakes close.

Causing the suit to strain a little bit and accentuating her ass, when she tried to touch one of the snakes, it hissed and open its hood.

"Feisty little ones as well." She giggled and placed her finger on it's head, the snake stopped with its warning, only to tilt its head to the side.

"Awww, I wanted to see the fangs." She pouted and stood back up raising her arms, could see what she was trying to do, but I didn't bother to entertain her.

"It doesn't see you as an enemy, so don't try to provoke it." I advised her, she frowned when I didn't react how she wanted, but then offered her hand.

"Well, let's go, have to make sure your delivered to our client." I grabbed her hand and she pulled me up with ease.

"So, can I assume you will treat me right, or will beat me?" I asked while exiting the building.

I felt a slight breeze blowing against my head, causing me to tilt my head to the side. Letting the fist hit nothing but the air, i looked at the person who threw the punch, only to see another one coming from below.

I was about to dodge, but felt something was wrong. So I jumped up and saw a leg passing underneath me, finally, the fist that was a feint came back to strike me from above.

Instead of landing on my feet, I wrapped my arms around it, pulling the person down while quickly moving myself behind them and placing one of the snakes against their throat.

Just barely touching the skin, feeling the fang against their neck, they quickly tapped my arm, signaling they give up.

As I released them and fixed my suit, I had a good look at the person who tried to hit me. She had a black jacket that covered her entire upper body, with the zipper opened.

On her breasts were two small pads that covered them, and she had platum bling hair that was cut short.

"You got skill, names Dorio." I only placed my hand above my chest and bowed.

"Cobra, it is a displeasure to make your acquaintance." Hearing that I said it was a displeasure, she clicked her tongue and made her way to a vehicle.

Inside was a man with a white dress shirt with a brow vest, his hair was an almond brown and he had a mustache with a small goatee growing under his lips.

"I apologize on their behalf, names Falco, if you ever need a ride. Just call me." I then received a contact from him, nodding in appreciation.

"I thank you for your offer, I will call you when I require your services." I bowed in his direction, which he curtly nods in return.

"Now then pretty boy, get in the car!" Shouted the leader, I only did as he asked, entering with ease.

Once the rest of us had entered, I saw Gloria was to my right. Her arms were stained red, with bandages absorbing the blood, once she tightened the bandage, she sighed and laid her head against the wall.

"Impressive skills, doctor." Gloria only chuckled at my words and shook her head.

"Sorry, but I'm not a doctor, just an underpaid nurse." She then turned towards me and began to observe me

"I assume they gave you a biotechnica injector, those things are expensive, but useful when fixing inner wounds." She said, as the car started to move,

"I do not like how they are using me as bait, even when they tried to negotiate with me." I said in disgust, causing both Gloria and Falco to flinch.

"First off, I don't give a single fuck about your feelings. And second, it's just making our easier, so nothing personal." Replied the man, I could only nod at his explanation, since I would have done the same.

"Fair enough, just make sure you are wide awake in the night." Hearing on what I said, he leaned forward.

"Is that a threat?" His voice was low enough for me to hear, his face was close to my mask, seeing the reflection on it.

"It is a promise." The second I finished speaking, snakes began to slither inside and detain them, while Falco was allowed to move.

"Oh you fucking gonk!" Shouted the leader, who tried to move his arms. Only for the snakes to shrink in length, holding him in place.

"This is worse than those hentai vids my brother showed me!" Shouted the girl, who was trying to squirm along the floor.

Gloria tried to reach for her gun, but I was quick enough to knock her out. I made my way to the back, glancing over my shoulder.

"Falco, I'll treat you to a drink, and thank you for the hospitality." Falco only sighed and gave another nod.

"As for you, sir." I turned to face the leader.

"Our deal is off, and don't call me a pet." As I opened the door, I could see my car was there, following us the entire time.

Inside the drivers seat was a clone, driving the car and keeping it close. Once it was close enough, I stepped on the hood, with a few snakes tying me down to keep me stable.

I turned around to face the group, who began to stand up from the snakes releasing them, and gave them all a bow.

"Good day to you all." With that, the clone turned down a different street, loosing the crew who kidnapped me, and made its way back to my home.
