190 Misunderstanding Dragons (1/2)
”RAAAAWWWWRRRR~!!!”
The Red Dragon stomped mightly towards the pathetic meat bags and the confused looking youngling. It gave another roar, wanting to impose its dragon fear to the lesser creatures when suddenly a few jets of cold liquid and some thick foamy substance landed on its body.
Instantly steam erupted out as the water got into contact with its superheated scaled while the firefighting foam thickly coated its body. The Red Dragon gave out a yelp in confusion as tried to back off away from the water jets sprayed by those meat bags.
It raised its wings to block the water sprays and tried to spit some fireballs out only to swallow a large mouthful of water and foam. It started to cough and splutter in shock and distaste, and in its haste, it tripped over its own tail and flopped backward in a tangle.
Blue Thunder laughed and quickly muffled his laughter by burying his head with his wings when both Pike and Stamford glared at him. ”Is it so funny?”
”BWAHAhahahaa!” Blue Thunder nearly rolled around on the ground in glee, ”Serves it right!”
”Alright, cease fire!” Pike roared out, commanding the men to shut their hoses off. ”We only got so much water to waste!”
The drenched Red Dragon sneezed and shivered, looking like a wet dog. The surrounding temperature had dropped drastically like someone just turned off the heater. It glared resentfully at Blue Thunder who quickly avoided its glare and swallowed the laughter boiling out of his throat. ”Ahem...”
”Sooo... what do we do now?” Blue Thunder whispered, ”I thought we are not gonna piss it off? It looks mightly pissed off now!”
”Can you just shut up?” Stamford felt a major headache coming and it wasn't due to the increasing humidity. ”You are not doing any better!”
Blue Thunder covered his mouth with his wings and ducked low, ”Sorry~!”
In the meanwhile, Pike had strolled up before the wet and indignation looking Red Dragon which was baring its teeth at him. Pike looked pretty chill and unconcern, while Blue Thunder whispered in awe, ”Does Top doesn't feel the heat? Is he really cold blooded and made out of ice inside?”
Stamford gave Blue Thunder a 'wtf' look and asked, ”Now where did you hear all that nonsense?”
”From the Marines!” Blue Thunder's eyes were as round as giant saucers as he gazed with awe and worship at Pike. ”They say he once walk through hell and fire as if it was just a stroll in the park! Truly!”
”Stop listening to those Marine's housewives gossips and nonsense!” Stamford rubbed his aching head. ”Gods... you are older than all of them yet you still are so gullible!”
”But they swear its true!” Blue Thunder gave a gulp, ”I even remember seeing him at the walls! He ordered those firefighters to spray their magic at one of my old wing mates! Scary!”
Stamford shooked his head at Blue Thunder's adoration and awe to Pike, thinking that Pike was just wearing an environmental suit that regulates temperature underneath his camo fatigues. He didn't have the heart to break Blue Thunder's image of his idol.
”Stop listening to gossips! Or I cut your cheese fries rations!” Stamford warned sternly.
”Oh, noes! My cheese fries!”

Pike stared eye to eye evenly with the Red Dragon and growled, ”You bring the heat up again, and I get my boys to give u a nice dose of fire foam. You clear?” while he gestured to his men with the hoses.
The Red Dragon eyes narrowed and it followed the gestures of the strange meat bag to the sides were several more similar looking meats were holding on some long wiggling things. It remembered that they spray some sort of liquid and water that made it cold and wet!
It growled back at the strange unfearing meat bag, who alone stood before it speaking in some strange harsh language. Did this puny meat bag dare to try to threaten it? What insolence!
The Red Dragon braced itself back on its fours and was about to pounce again when the strange meat bag yelled something, and water sprays hammered it from several sides. It squeaked in surprise and discomfort, backing away from the water sprays before the meat bag gave a wave and the water disappeared.
Pike gave a sigh, ”Blue! Go pin it down!”
”But... Sarge... I don't like getting very wet too!” Blue whined back.
”Blue... You wanna know how wet you can get when I get my hands on you?” Pike growled.
”YES SIR YES! Wait! I mean no, NO SIR!” Blue Thunder felt a chill down his spine and he quickly stood at attention, mimicking the Marines parade stance. ”I go pin that dragon down, but please don't spray me too!”
”5... 4... 3...” Pike started to tap his feet in annoyance while looking at his wristwatch. ”2...”
”I'M ON IT!” Blue Thunder cried out in panic and with a wooosh, he leaped over the heads of everyone and with two bounces, he landed on top of the shocked Red Dragon. ”Excuse me!”
The surprised Red Dragon barely managed to resist when all 40 plus tons of weight landed on it. It screamed out in shock and pain as Blue Thunder tried to saddle on its back. ”Keep still! And it will be over soon!” Blue Thunder roared as he tried to hold down the struggling Red Dragon without seriously injuring it.
”Ow!” Blue Thunder cursed as an errant red scaled wing slapped his face. ”You nearly took my eye out! Urghhh!” The Red Dragon managed to squirm ontop its back. and face Blue Thunder, snapping at his face with its powerful jaws while Blue Thunder managed to pin its arms and legs with his own.
”Stop that!” Blue Thunder suddenly got enough and roared mightly directly at the Red Dragon, who surprisingly flinched back from his roar. ”Stop... ?!”
