The rise of the King cobra

Chapter 4: Meeting a fixer



An hour has passed since the snakes have left my home, and I noticed that I can feel when a new snake is created.

It feels like I was splitting my conscious to the new snakes, and it was not pleasant to feel to say the least.

I had a bit of a headache at first and I spent a few minutes laying down on bed until it disappeared.

I took the time to relax my headache and took some pain killers, once I grabbed the inhaler for it, I sighed and tried to see through one of the snakes.

Once I was able to see through its eyes, I felt that I was in control of the body. The only difference is that I couldn't move normally, so I had to take the time to practice moving.

It was like learning how to walk once again, I was just glad that no one could see me. No one but god, who maybe laughing at my situation.

Once I had finally got accustomed, I decided to check my surrounding's, the snake I was controlling was in a vent, and in front of it was a gate.

Looking through the gate, I saw a bar counter underneath. I wanted to find more clues to where I could find a fixer, so I forced open the gate.

However, I didn't plan to fall straight down, causing the snake to make a dent on the counter, causing some people to scream.

I then looked around and saw many people looking at me with fear in their eyes, I was going to speak but then my vision was sent facing the counter.

I then shook my head and looked at the person that shot me, it was a woman with a red tank top and some overalls, her hair was black but had some red dye near the tips.

In her hands was a shotgun and the barrel was fuming from the shot, the women's eyes widen in fear when her shot didn't destroy the snake.

I then approached her in order to tell her not to do that again. But when I moved, she aimed at me again and screamed at me.

"Not another inch forward you fucking gonk. Or I swear I'll keep shooting until I blast you to bit's!" I then tilted my head to the side when she mentioned a gonk. 'What the hells a gonk?'

"I assure you I mean no harm, I'm here to look for a fixer to make some eddies." The women's eyes widen even further when she heard me talk and was about to take another shot.

I then leap onto the women and made my way wrapping her left arm and placing the fangs on her neck.

"I will only tell you this once again, I'm here to see a fixer, and if you try to shoot me once again, I will kill you. So, nod your head if you understand." She nodded her head once and lowered her gun.

I then slithered down her other arm and was back on the counter,

"Now can you please tell me where I can find a fixer?" I asked the woman, who lifted her finger and pointed to one of the booths.

"I'm right over here." I turned to the source and saw a woman with black hair, the left side was buzzed off while the right was still long.

She also had a short yellow shirt that said survive. I then made the snake slither up the table and had the lower half of the snake's body in a spiral while the upper half was raised to face her.

"So, to what do I owe the pleasure mister..."

"Cobra, just Cobra for now." The women raise one of her brows and looks at me with interest.

"Alright then Cobra, why did you come here and what are you?" She asked, while crossing one of her legs.

"Like I said after getting shot, I want to get some eddies, and what I am is none of your business." During our talk I noticed that her eyes glowed for a second then they dimmed.

Behind me I saw how the bodyguard was blocking the entrance so that I wouldn't escape.

So, I decided to turn the snake invisible, the second the snake disappeared both the woman and bodyguard eyes widen, and both began to search for me.

"Shit where did it go, if only we were quicker, we could have kept it for ourselves." I was intrigued at her thoughts on capturing the snake, but I decided to ruin that thought.

I made the snake wrap around her body and had the fangs on her neck like I did with the other women.

Both the woman and bodyguard froze and didn't move a muscle, everyone who was watching outside were surprised to see the snake pinning the most famous fixer in place.

Those who had the thought on capturing it became more determined to capture it. Greed was shining in their eyes, and some even dared to approach us.

As I had the fangs on the woman's neck, I noticed that some of the people had the same idea as her, so I called for more snakes and told them to subdue them all when I tell them to.

"It seems like some of you have the same idea to capture my creation, however that will never happen…" Many snakes fell into the bar causing many of the people to scream in horror.

Some of them pulled out their guns to shoot the snakes, but they would miss every time, after a few minutes of panicked screaming and shooting everyone was finally wrapped by the snakes.

I then decided to have some of the snakes pile up and create a clone of my figure.

What they saw terrified them to the core, more snakes made their way into the bar and began to merge into a look alike me, but the jacket had the hood up, while my face was covered by a black mask with no eyeholes on it.

I made the clone sit in front of the women and placed the arms on its legs holding the chin up.

The woman's face begins to sweat in fear knowing she can't beat me, and everyone else who thought they could capture one of my companions gave up before they could make a plan.

"Before all of this happened, I never had the chance to ask your name miss..." I had the snake on the woman's neck to leave enough room for her to speak, but close enough to bite her if she makes any moves.

"Rouge, just Rouge." We both then sat in silence waiting for one of us to speak, then someone in the crowd shouts to catch my attention.

"S-sir Cobra, I-if I may, are you willing to sell your creation to me, I can pay a good amount for the snakes." I turned towards the voice and saw a dark-skinned man with a blue shirt and white pants. I had the snakes bring him towards the two of us and had him standing.

"Now why would I sell my creation, these companions of mine helped me to survive." The snake that was wrapped on his neck tighten making it harder for him to breath and I approached him, the steps reverberated throughout the bar until I was in front of him.

"B-because I c-can pay you enough eddies to survive until your death bed."

"That does sound like a good deal...but I want to ask you, do you have an implant that can prevent poisoning?" The man nodded his head and was confused I asked that.

"I'll make you a counteroffer, you see these pets of mine have a very dangerous venom that I spent countless months creating." I had one of the snakes slither onto the table, making the clone rub the head.

"So if your implant can resist this then you can have some of them, how does that sound?" The man was hesitant at first, but nodded his head.

"Splendid, let's get started then." One of the snakes that binded him moved towards his neck, biting him, injecting the venom.

"If I may be so bold what are the effects of the venom?" Asked Rouge

"Well once the venom has entered the bloodstream the victim will lose all sense of touch." I explained, while the clone looked at the man.

"After a few minutes, the venom will slowly cause muscle failure, causing the victim to lose functions." The man then slumped over, it uttering a sound.

"Finally, the victim will feel an immense pain, so strong that the person will scream for death, but can only suffer slowly." Once I had finished, I transferred my conscious to the clone.

I had it stand up and made it kneel down in front of the man, placing my fingered on his neck to feel for a pulse.

Yet, there was none to be found. Once I had confirmed the death of the man, I had the clone turn around and bow.

"Well then, I shall take my leave, I shall leave my companion here in case you wish to contact me." The clone then dissolved, and every snake began to slither away, except the one with Rouge.

As the last one slithered into a vent, a trauma team arrived after a few minutes. They all made their way to the corps, going through protocol.

"Silver client confirmed dead, bag it and let's go." The team then took the corpse and left the bar, leaving everyone to confirm what just happened.

In another booth a woman in red clothing with short blond hair and a red mask was slumped on the couch.

Around her was a dark-skinned man shaking her thinking she fainted.

"Kiwi, hey Kiwi, you good choom?!" He then received a text from the women, and he opened it.

[Stay away from him I tried hacking the snakes to escape, but it somehow made me paralyzed. We have to avoid him at all cost.] A girl with a pink jacket with leather tight pants and a black bob cut just smiled.

'Looks like this city will be flipped upside down, I want to meet you soon Cobra.'
