Multiverse of Marvel

"What the hell!! Why did the dragon suddenly come out of the water."

"Yeah!! It never comes out. Is it because of the new visitors? Did he anger the Protector? I think its because of that. Master Guang Bo was badly beaten up. He deserves an ass whooping from the The Protector.''

.....

Such discussions were in hushed tones among the people but nobody dared to go near the dragon. Meanwhile John was just amazed by the first sight of the water dragon. He had never seen a dragon before, only read in books and legends.At least not a dragon in flesh. A skeleton he had seen.

No words can define its majesty in reality!!

The dragon after coming out looked at John and slowly lowered its head to be on the same level as him. The mouth of the dragon finally neared John and blew air from its nose at him. John felt like Kratos here when Kratos met the World Serpent for the first time.

Only difference was Kratos was a little scared as his son was with him and here John was sure that the dragon just wanted to say 'hi' to him.

John lifted his hand and touched the nose of the dragon. All the people around who saw this scene were dumbfounded. They thought that the new visitor would just die after the emergence of their Protector, but it looked like he was here just to be petted by the man.

They were ashamed. Ashamed that their Protector, who had never shown its face, came out for an outside visitor. Seeing all the commotion, Jiang Nan and others too came out to see what was going on and they were surprised to see such scenes on the lake.

"Here is a little gift to you." John said as he gave some of the life force to the dragon as a gift of meeting. The dragon almost moaned in pleasure by receiving such a precious gift. The dragon was an intelligent species. It came out because it felt a being had entered their dimension who had almost unlimited life force. And any being such as the dragon would always be tempted to come out.

The dragon lowered its head after digesting all the life force it had just received at John. He made a sound from its mouth.

"Uh you want me to ride you?" John said as he could understand what the dragon wanted to convey to him.

The dragon nodded its head. John's eyes shone when the dragon nodded its head. He immediately levitated over the head of the dragon and sat on its neck. And then the dragon flew off. John had never sat on a majestic creature before and this was the first time.

"I gotta say there is a different level of feeling when you get to ride a majestic creature. I need to get myself a dragon." John thought.

The dragons had become almost all extinct and there was only one place where he could get one. Well not one but many, and John was sure that the fight was approaching soon. All kinds of thoughts were in his head as the dragon roamed the skies while John enjoyed the wind on his face. John felt like a child and even shouted a few times to show how happy he was.

It had been a long time since John felt so happy. The last time it was when he had children of his own. And after almost 10 minutes of roaming around it came down. Jiang Nan and others were waiting for him.

Even Master Guang Bo was there on the side with his head down. As the dragon lowered its head for John to jump down, all the people bent their knees.

Not for John, but for the Protector. John got down from the neck and looked at the people who showed their respect to the dragon. The dragon nodded its head a bit before going back to the lake. The dragon in essence didn't care for the people living here. It was here to protect the door, not the people and at times supply some of its scales so that they could fight in future if anything went wrong.

The people felt embarrassed when they saw the dragon. It didn't seem to care for them but still they gave their utmost respect to an outsider.

"Have you all resolved the problems between Ta Lo and the outside world?" John asked. He didn't care about what the people thought. He just wanted to know if Goku could be trained here. Jian Nan looked at Master Guang Bo for a second before saying.

"Yes. Ying Li and her family won't be stopped from entering Ta Lo. But only her family would be allowed in and not another person."

"Agreed. The Avengers will be happy to know that the negotiation went smoothly. The Avengers promise that in tough times we will lend a hand." John said.
