《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 9: The Mall Job
Advertisement
The following day after my report, Claymore called off the mission. I tried to get some info out of him about why, but I was shut down. Now It’s three weeks later and we have a new task, It’s to destroy the local mall. Our goal is to fight the Guardians. After a bit of time we will be called back and it will be end of the job. That is all he told us, I don’t really understand what his goal is. I just know that ignorance is bliss and will leave it alone.
As we go in, Jet and I go to the food court and start rampaging. As I dump the hot nacho cheese sauce from the mexican stall in the food court area, Jet smashes the chairs and the tables. I am momentarily stunned by what I see, she first starts by smashing the chairs on the tables and they would explode. Then she throws up a chair and uses a table as a bat and sends it to the sports store shattering the windows. As this goes on, the civilians are running in terror. Regaining focus, I looted the cash register and then disconnected it and placing it behind a pillar. Then I went to the sandwich shop, dumped the condiments onto the food court area, and looted the cash register placing it behind a large potted plant.
After Jet finished demolishing the tables and chairs, she asked me, “What should we do now?”
“How about we line our packets, it’s not like we don’t have the time.” I responded.
“I would rather do something productive.”
“There is a sports store right there, you could find a good weapon there.”
“Fine, what will you do?”
“Loot.”
We then went to the sports store Jet went to the baseball isle, while I hit up the cash registers. As I was working on my third cash register, I found a cashier hiding under the counter. She is hugging her knees, with a face full of tears and mucus. I, being the kind person that I am, picked her up and tossed her out of the mall entrance and returned to the cash register.

I almost finished raiding the last register when the Guardians finally appeared.
“Are you ready?” I asked Jet.
“Yep.” She replied as she held brass knuckles with a discount label on them.
Damn, this could get vicious.

King of Fools : Silver Tongue
A certain trickster spirit was fond of saying, 'me and my big fat mouth'. That could be Jasper Stone's motto. There's never been a situation in his life he didn't make worse by opening his mouth, because when he does, ridiculous amounts of trash-talk and overconfidence just spills out. He's never managed to do anything with his wits -- but when the God of Fools tosses him into another world for amusement's sake, he'll need to put them to use. Because there are bandits, dragons, and cultists out there -- none of whom appreciate Jasper's particular gift for insults. --Cover by the inimitable Vitaly S Alexius.

Dragon: Birth of an Ancient
Deep in a secluded forest, within the depths of a long forgotten cave, an unnatural silence that has reigned for little over a million years is shattered as a hatchling takes its first breath. To the various species that called this world, one of seven, home, the matter seemed beyond insignificant. The hatchling, like all monsters, had no divine backing and with its age, could only be considered a lesser existence. A being to be used by the Chosen and noble monster bloodlines in their never-ending pursuit of power, fame and immortality. However, how could any of the short-lived races, Chosen and Monster alike, know that the tiny, weak, lizard-like creature was much more than it seemed. That it was an entity only spoken of in myth and legend. From a species that their ancestors, with the backing of the Gods, paid a huge price to remove. A heretical existence that threatened the fragile peace that had descended upon their world. A Dragon. ==== ** Cover done by the amazing Felix!*** I am writing this story for a friend who is currently in hospital and in a very precarious situation. He gave me the plot/ concept and, after my own health issues, I wanted to try and brighten his day and provide a distraction from the monotony of their hospital stay. I am posting it on RRL mainly in case anyone else can find enjoyment from the story and to show the readers of my other stories that I am not permanently MIA (and will 100% return to those stories in the future).
