__**Chapter Two**__: THE DRAGON MENACE __**Summary**__: Kai, accompanied by a badly burned Milo and Arto grabbed the tickets and headed to the airport. They got on the plane with no problems, and kissed their UCAS lives goodbye. They landed, hours later, in Dublin. There, they were detained by INTERPOL agents who recieved info about their arrival and questioned them. They were not properly cuffed, and being angry shadowrunners they quickly attacked and overwhelmed the INTERPOL agents who were attempting to detain them. Douglas Armstrong, the "companion" of Seefa Jeck (a passenger on the flight), was killed in the ensuing fight. Seefa, being confused and having nowhere better to go, ran with them. They hopped in a cab, and rode into the city. There, Seefa went her own way, and Kai went to take care of some business in his native Japan. Milo and Arto, both still badly burned, shot, and barely hanging together attempted to catch a sub-channel train to France, where Milo could meet a fixer he knew named Henri. By amazing coincidence, Milo and Arto met up with Seefa again while on the sub-channel train. Unfortunately, the three of them were ambushed by INTERPOL agents at a train station in England. They were in a tight spot, until they recieved aid from a team of Irish Freedom Fighters. The IFF helped them escape INTERPOL and got them to relative safety. From there the IFF leader, a dwarf named Timothy, told Milo that the IFF had heard of his American exploits and reputation, and that they needed help from him and his friends to solve a problem back in their village in Tir na nOg. Having no money and in need of medical attention, Milo, Arto, and Seefa agreed to help out. Timothy and his friends helped the three of them to sneak via boat back to Tir na nOg. Timothy led them to a village named Winslow in county Leschershire. There, the towns doctors and mages went to work on the wounded, and soon Milo and Arto had new, less charred skin and one or two less holes in them. Timothy told them to relax at his cottage until some reinforcements could arrive from France. Milo, Arto, and Seefa did just that. That spent a lot of time in Winslow healing up, and Milo did his best to get to know Seefa a little better. Arto spent his time training the sheep of the countryside to "stay", "sit", and "dance". Timothy introduced them to the rest of his "freedom fighting" mercenary team, including Jaque the French merc, Garlsbad the large nordic troll, Danny and Patrick the two Irish brothers who were adept thieves, and Forrest, a gay magical adept. Timothy's cottage included an underground base that housed an armory, some technical equipment, and all the comforts of home. Patrick spent a lot of time trying to get with Seefa, and so did Milo. More hired help arrived, a European merc named Grubber and a runner named Winston. They were told the pay would be low, but both of them were looking to take what they could get. Grubber spent his time in Winslow drinking, while Winston tried to get more accustomed to his surroundings. That night, Milo finally got his game together and put the moves on Seefa. The two spent 4 minutes of passion together, before Milo left for the night. Later, the next day Timothy briefed Milo, and Milo told the rest of the team what was up. There was a very rude individual named Belfin who had bribed his way into political power in southern Leschershire. Belfin turned the County police into his own private brute squad, and had begun demanding tribute from the villages in the form of outrageou taxes. Belfin's demands were weighing the people down, and something had to be done. This was why the Freedom Fighters called in Milo (the near-famous shadowrunner from the UCAS). Oh, and one other thing...Belfin happened to be a dragon. The team was less than happy, but they accepted the challenge headon. After some arguement, they devised a plan to attack Belfin's castle. Seefa was to let herself be captured, and gain an audience with Belfin. From there, she was to throw a vial of a powerful acid into Belfin's eyes, to try to stop the dragons magic. Milo, accompanied by Danny and Patrick were to sneak into the castle to help get Seefa out. The rest of the team would assault Belfin's castle using big guns and bad attitudes. Even though everyone wasn't exactly happy with this plan, the team prepared for the assault.
