Sometimes I wish Bondarev wasn’t a bad guy, cause he’s so dope looking and got a pretty voice. But also he is a perfect baddie.
Also it’s kinda funny the resemblence he has with Caesar Gattuso

HCs about MC and the bois
- MC holds the last of Finger and Johann’s brain cells
- MC has some musical ability
- and can cook to some extent
- MC misses Vine and TikTok
- Nobody has the nerve to fuck with MC, bitch is S ranked and can kick ass
- Johann really respects MC
- MC can beat Caesar’s blonde ass but he never admits to it, ya’ll know why. Lil’ whore won’t admit that a freshman is better than him
- Nono is like your older sister!
- Manstein actually doesn't mind MC, he thinks that they’re a good kid and tells them repeatedly to stop hanging out with Luminous and Finger. 
- MC helps Luminous, but, most of the time they end up going to Johann for help
- I have a feeling that MC at least has some sort of PTSD or some shit
- Abandonment issues? Probably
- Anjou really likes them, probably reminds him of his kids if he has any
- I feel like MC is one of those people who’s really good at everything for some reason. Like,  Junkook. From BTS, ya know how he’s good at almost everything? I feel like you’re like that. Hence the career options, and you can mix drinks really well for some reason? And you’re a good fighter? And a lot of people seem to like and respect  you?
- MC is probably covered in scars or has one from when Bondarev shot them, maybe even a burn scar or some shit. But some sort of scar that the other characters freaked out about at one point but MC doesn’t. Remember how they got it
- MC got scouted by an entertainment company or some thing
- MC is pretty good looking and if it’s a guy, a lot of people will joke that Johann’s got competition 
- If it’s a girl, he’s found himself a new girlfriend
- I think canonically Johann was supposed to be our love interest, since we get a lot of messages from him saying that he does care for us a lot
That’s all for now! Unrelated, but, I kind of want Dragon Raja to be like Fire Emblem Three Houses where you can choose to romance some of the side characters. I feel like Johann would be like a Dimitri, regardless of any conversations you might have had, he still catches feelings for you within any interactions in the story.

Dragon Raja {Mafia/Gang/Yakuza AU - Ideas}
Setting: similar to the one in the game already but isn’t just dragons
Black Swan
A small secret side corporation from the [whatever Bondarev worked for] that Dr Herzog is in charge of.
Balck Swan is also like an institution.
Once a month they will send Bondarev there for inspection and do an analysis report of Black Swan.
Black Swan is mostly made up of orphans(or so they tell them) that do assassination quests/jobs that are given by the adults(Dr Herzog, the workers etc) there.
The kids in Balck Swan are experimented with like demon blood, dragon blood, unicorn blood(go nuts) all that stuff without knowing(similar to the game).
The orphans there are mostly kids in the ages between 4-17.
The ones that turned 18 are either sent to the [whatever Bondarev worked for] when they “pass” a test or killed in front of everyone else for “failing” the test to show them what would happen if they were to fail.
After the failures are killed, Herzog would show a pained expression to them and say, “Please don’t fail the test when you receive it, or else I’ll have to do this to you in front of everyone else, it tears me apart for ending your lives,” or something along the lines so that he’ll be able to manipulate them better(I think?)
The best kid assassin in Black Swan is of course Z and coming in second is Anton.
Renata is like the Black Swan children’s mother while MC is like the best older sibling to them.
Z and Renata are both turning 17 while MC is like maybe a year or two younger then them.
Cassell
Anjou is the leader and founder of it.
Does both good and bad like saves people from dragons and all but also drugs and attend some black markets and black auctions but have good morals.
Made up of different families(kindaaaa similar to a crime family but do good things too).
Rankings of course that goes from E(the lowest) to S(the highest) based on how much power(dragon and stuff blood) that you have.
Caesar is from the famous Gattuso family that has supported Cassell with power and financially.
Hydra
Pretty much the same except that Tachibana isn’t real and it’ll be Koshi Uesugi cause he used to be the high patriarch(I think?) or it could just be Chisei in charge.
Story Time
Cassell was suspicious with the assassinations that happened and were deeply looking into but mostly received dead ends.
Finally found a solid trail after an assassination happened and spent many sleepless nights looking into it.
Of course the [whatever Bondarev worked for] got news about it and sent Bondarev over to Black Swan even though he went there like two weeks ago to tell Herzog about it.
Betrayal happened and the lone survivor is MC with how Renata saved her by pushing her outside of the institution before it could’ve collapsed on MC like the other kids and die.
That’s it. That’s all my brain could think of for the day.

dragon raja theory time babes !!SPOILERS!!
so if you played through the prologue and didn't just skip past it, you probably know what happened, and you likely know Renata, but more importantly, Z.
we know nothing about Z. he's available as a 5 star ally, but his gallery info barely gives anything about him. we don't know his birthday or star sign, and his only aspiration is to protect Renata. at the end of the prologue, Z picks up her dead body, and says that he promised her that he'd give a "gift." he then makes a promise to her: that he will take her with him, no matter where he goes, until the end of their lives.
Tumblr media
now, we're going into spoiler territory. if you care about Dragon Raja's plot, turn away.
everyone gone? good. now, Renata is not actually dead. if you obtain the ally Zero, or Party Zero, you may notice something: Zero has Renata's prologue voicelines. and if you get to chapter 10, level 87 and do the story quest for it, she enters the story. and our suspicions are confirmed: it is Renata, back from the dead. how? this is where Z comes into play. i have him as an ally, and if we look at his exclusive belonging...
Tumblr media
it's a Pact. the description says it's "A pact that brings life back from the dead and makes the withered bloom again." many times, Renata is referred to as a flower, an Arctic bloom. the pact Z has brought Renata back from the dead, and made her bloom. okay, he can bring people back to life, cool. now, let's look at his Ally Bonds.
Tumblr media
looks pretty good. Zero, Herzog, Bondarev and... Ming-Z-Lu?
that seems strange. why would he have a bond with Ming-Z-Lu? unless that pact was with him, to bring back Renata, much like how Luminous made a deal with Ming to save NoNo, the price being 1/4th of Luminous' soul. but we know who Luminous is, he's a bumbling coward with an S ranked Extra Skill. we don't know who Z is.
we know a few things about Z: he likes Renata, is constantly tired, doesn't like Christmas, knew that Herzog was evil, and he seems to be sick in the prologue. Herzog mentions giving him medicine when Renata makes up an excuse for him to not be at training. maybe this is because of him giving up part of his life? did he do this before?
let's look back at Z's gallery info... height of 155cm, his blood type is AB, and his VA is someone named Akie Kotabe. alright, neat! wait... let's look at the gallery info for Ming-Z-Lu.
Tumblr media
AB blood type, height is 155cm, VA is Akie Kotabe... the exact same as Z. that's strange, but not really proof of anything. i mean, sure, his name is also Ming-Z-Lu, but that can just be a coincidence... except for one Anecdote.
if you go to Black Swan Bay again and sleep in your old bed, there's a chance for you to get a message from Z, in your dreams. of course, you question where the hell he's been, but instead he just says this:
Tumblr media
that sounds a lot like something Ming-Z-Lu would say, doesn't it? trying to get you into some sort of deal. it also implies he has some sort of wish making ability, if he can make you powerful and wealthy with the snap of his fingers. i accepted, but if don't agree, he says this:
Tumblr media
if you can't read it, the player says "Sounds boring." in response, Z says "Go to sleep. Have a nice nightmare." pretty rude. that's also the same way Ming-Z-Lu responds to Luminous not wanting to make another deal; he gets upset.
there's also the fact he says that he'll see you soon. now, you can do this anecdote at any level, as long as you've cleared the prologue. currently he doesn't show up besides the prologue, but the global server isn't the first Dragon Raja game.
Dragon Raja is originally a Chinese game (like Love Nikki!) and our server is actually behind them. the Chinese server has been around since summer of 2019, and if you use QooApp, you can get access to it. they have about 4 more chapters to the story than the global server, so it's possible Z shows up again. (i don't have Z on the Chinese server so I can't confirm.)
Tumblr media
so what does all this mean?
i believe that Z didn't make a deal with Ming-Z-Lu. i think that Ming-Z-Lu and Z are the same person in different forms.
let's look at two other allies that we know are also the same person: Ruri Kazama, and Chime Gen. Ruri is Chime's "demon form," since Chime seems to be a part of the Devil Clan. the game also attributes things Chime says to Ruri. there's a gossip question asking which person said that Luminous has a lion hidden in his eyes. in the story it's Chime that says this, but the correct answer is Ruri Kazama. the game spoils itself so often it's ridiculous, like how another gossip question asks which character Renata is, to which the answer is Zero.
let's look at Ruri and Chime's gallery info to compare.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they're identical, except for their blood type. this might be a translation error, or a side effect of the demon form. this is like how Ming-Z-Lu and Z's entries are identical, except for their interests.
Z being another form of Ming-Z-Lu would explain why Z is so tired. it must take up a lot of energy to keep up being another person, especially if it's for a long period of time. after all, Z seems to be known and trusted in the orphanage. others can see the people Ming-Z-Lu comes up with, like how he made hair stylist and fashion designers exist for Erii and Luminous during Tokyo Love Story.
given all of this, it seems likely that Z is really another form of Ming-Z-Lu, or at the very least, he's a creation of Ming-Z-Lu's making. we'll just have to wait for the story to continue to see what happens.
but that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY
(special thanks to my club, GodTier of S9-Ice Throne for being real OGs, for telling me about the dream Anecdote, and for enduring my insane infodump nonsense.)

Making a playlist to encourage me to write my self-insert fan fic because stress keeps telling me no
I didn’t know what else to title it because I don’t have a title for the fic yet 💀

Despite it being called “besties”, the story is literally romance though. It started going there on it’s own and I went with the flow. Enemies-to-besties-to-lovers. I may post it someday idk

KPOP groups, made of Dragon Raja characters, male and female.
Female girls groups - NoNo, Kogure, Mai Sakatoku as visuals, Susie on vocals, Erii as visual too (fans will love her for her cuteness!); Or Zero, NoNo, Susie and ≤insert female MC name here≥, and Anjou as their manager. Or also add Shavee, but i'm afraid that nobody will like her, lol😈 I don't kniw where to put Nanami Sakurai.
Now on boys groups. I bet, that a group with Johann as visual and center would be hella popular among ladies, along with Caesar Gatusso (but these two would fight), Finger and Lumi. Name - Cassel boys.
Japanese division boys group - Chisei and Chime both look hot, but Chime is more experienced as an idol. Also add Bondarev and Shio Miyamoto, who i find cute.
Add your ideas in comments.
P.S. what a weird post 🤪

what your favorite dragon raja ship says about you ! ( but theyre all my ships )
susie x nono : you are gay and so, so underappreciated. you’ve also read the manhua.
caesar x nono x luminous : you hate love triangles and also think that half the shipping issues in canon can be solved through polyamory. nono has two hands.
johann x luminous : you’ve read the second book of the manhua and or the novels. the scene where luminous sacrifices 1/4th of his life to help johann was pretty gay ngl and not to mention the premise of the fourth book.
johann x luminous x shavee : you’ve read the manhua and your favorite scene in book 2 was the funfair. you cried during the shavee death scene in the manhua and are upset that the game did her dirty like that.
johann x luminous x nono : you either think caesar sucks major ass, or you ship him with your mc. the fact that luminous sacrificed 1/4th of his life for both nono and johann is pretty telling and eyebrow raising.
mc x erii x luminous : you are bisexual. and think that tls couldve been better if mc had more input in the story. you cried at the ending of toyko love story.
mc x chime gen : you like mysterious white haired boys with tragic backstories. 
mc x ruri kazama : you like to suffer, plain and simple. you want to dig herzog up and shoot him again. 
mc x chisei gen : you like to suffer. you plan on killing bondarev. 
chisei x sakura : you think there’s potential but with the questionable translation and writing of the game, you wish some of this stuff was more expanded upon.
mc x renata : the cliffside scenes really got to you. you probably want to throttle z with full force.

Curiosity piqued, he took the children to a man named Herzog to be studied and soon, they were placed under his care.
As time goes by, the now 19 years old Isidore lives peacefully with other orphans and even gets excited at the upcoming Christmas party when he found out Renata’s plan to ask Z as her partner.

Just a little bit of blog updates on what I have been doing in Dragon Raja. 
First, I did a 10 Secret Command recruitment and I got many good allies (6 stars!). The first college ally I got was Zero.
Tumblr media
Her artwork looks so much better than her 3D counterpart. Well, actually, all looked much better than their 3D counterpart (especially Ming-Z-Lu!).
As anybody who has college allies would know, we have to go through a short segment of their time in the college as “fresh pups” according to Eva. If this ties in with the main story line, does this mean Renata (Zero) came to college while I was still unconscious in the Principal’s office? Hm... So many questions...
The next thing I did was to complete as much Anecdotes as possible as this actually affects unlocking EX skills. One of the anecdotes was to do a solo performance in Siberia Harbour. Let’s say Anjou is not very good at sugar coating.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I guessed that’s how we get guitar lessons in the college...
The third thing that I did was to participate in the Ace racing. I finally found the car that I am able to control easily and got my driver’s license (if only real life was that easy).
Tumblr media
Last but not least, I paid more attention to the story line this time. Most of the interesting information was in Ruri’s stories that he shared with us.
I have always known that Oshou was Herzog. But now that I have actually listened and read the story from Ruri, it was confirmed that Bondarev was Tachibana.
Tumblr media
What makes it more interesting was that the incident where Renata pushed our characters into the water to save our lives while Black Swan Bay was being exploded? That happened 20 years ago. Which means I was unconscious for 20 years!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah... We really need answers. Tons of them.
Hopefully everything goes well with the characters and we would be able to get answers after I clean up the mess with Chisei at the Tokyo Tower.

What is Bondarev (BSB ver) actually like in the novels? In my WIP, I’m trying to be as close to the lore as I can with certain parts, so it’s hard to write in a character that I have no clue what his personality actually is like. Also does he have a full name? Is Bondarev his first or last name? I noticed Herzog has a full name thanks to the Fandom wiki you and Hectab are working on :3
Ask and Ye shall receive. (very long post below with allllllllllll of the stuff you asked for.)
VERY HANDSOME
This was a man who was a sight to behold, handsome and straight, with iron gray hair neatly combed back and styled with hairspray, and a muscular body that was defined and supple. Many would describe him as sexy. The sentry had seen such handsome young officers in Moscow, but this one was too unbelievable. He was actually wearing only military shorts and sleeveless undershirt, sweating in the -10 degree wind. The man fished out a lighter from his shorts and lit it with aplomb, the sterling silver case etched with the words "70th anniversary of the October Revolution".
The sentry could not refuse this kindness and went over to light the cigarette.
"Here you go." The man tossed the lighter to the sentry, "In such a cold place, you need to use aviation kerosene with low freezing point, you should save that for the summer."
The sentry then realized that he still had the unlit lighter in his hand, the man's insight was actually keen to this point. Furthermore, people should be eager to find a warm place to rest at this moment. This also shows that he still has energy left for skiing in such extremely cold weather. The man took out a dark gray officer's uniform from his military duffel bag, and after a few moments, he finished putting it on and solemnly pinned a "Red Flag Medal" on his chest. A minute ago he was a skier, a minute later he had a frown of determination, a young man of power from Moscow.
"KGB Major Bondarev, I'm from Moscow." The man pulled out his papers, "Take me to Dr. Herzog and tell him that this is the moment of survival."
"Yes! Comrade Major!" The sentry saluted.
The man stated his identity in the simplest terms; he was an envoy from Moscow, a key member of the secret intelligence service. In the days of the Tsar, such a man was called a "minister".
********ICE PROOF*************
He pressed the detonator in his hand, after a short dull explosion, the marble base in the snow was blown up, Lenin bronze statue slanted in the snow. The noise of this micro-acoustic thunderstorm was so small that it was muffled by the wind within a few steps. The Black Swan Harbor is notoriously heavily guarded, but the most important aspect is the extreme cold, and standing outside for ten minutes on a night like this can lead to severe frostbite. Because of the blizzard, visibility was less than five meters. The soldiers did not expect anyone else to dare to move outside, and they ignored the fact that Bondarev had an extraordinary tolerance for the cold.
-----
"I sometimes think that people who like to drink can't be bad. So I like you a lot, you know vodka." Dr. Herzog removed the Makolov pistol and handed over a cold glass.
A light struck down from above, enveloping the Doctor and Bondarev. The glass reflected the light, as clear as the most expensive crystal glassware, but it was carved from a whole block of solid ice, pure ice, without any air bubbles, with cornflower patterns carved on the outer wall. The two men gently clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
  Bondarev played with the ice carved glass: "It's wonderful, the spirits wrapped in ice, as moving as a stunning young woman under the appearance of an iceberg. I think my hands will freeze and to it."
  "Usually people who drink from such an ice glass have to wear leather gloves, and only people like you, Major, who are not afraid of the cold can hold it in their hands. It is carved from old ice in the -30 degree strata and also kept at -30 degrees, making it the coldest drinking vessel for the warmest of wines." The doctor said, He said so, but he was also holding the glass with his empty hand, his slender hand was stable and did not tremble at all because of the low temperature.
****** SUPPOSED ROYAL FAMILY and EXTREMELY RICH ***************
  "Bondarev, a KGB major, from Moscow, these are the truth. I only concealed from you the name of my great-grandmother, her name was Nastasya Nikolaevna Romanova." Bondarev slowly pronounced this long, awkward name, like a magician reciting a forbidden spell.
  The doctor was stunned: "Was it the last royal daughter of the Romanov dynasty?"
  Nastasia was the last princess of the Romanov dynasty, the last dynasty to rule Russia until it was overthrown by the October Revolution in 1917. in 1918, the last Tsar Nicholas II and his entire family were secretly executed by the Red Army. Nastasia was the youngest daughter of Nicholas II, and although she was young, she was given the title of "Grand Duchess", which made her more honored than other royal princesses in Europe at the time, and princesses were required to curtsy and address her as "Your Imperial Highness" during their audiences. It was rumored that she was the only one who escaped execution, and that her name Nastasia meant "resurrection".
  "Since there is still me, the grandson of the emperor, I can't say that she is the 'last' royal daughter." Bondarev smiled.
  "How do you prove yourself?" The Doctor asked.
  "I saw Rasputin's signature at the end of the tunnel, and that heretic who had been canonized had been here before, so I should say he was the one who found this cave, right?"
  "Yes." The Doctor said, "This cave is his legacy."
  "Then you must know that Rasputin was a guest of the Tsar and a close friend of Princess Nastasia. The fact that I could find this place means that I have Rasputin's secrets, secrets that he told my great-grandmother. This is the proof of my status as the last royal grandson of the Romanov dynasty." Bondarev held his head up proudly.
  "So, what were the secrets that Rasputin revealed to Her Imperial Highness?"
  Bondarev smiled slyly: "I think there are certain things I know that you do not know, and of course there are things you know that I do not, so we might as well exchange information about each other. Then we might be able to sit down and talk about cooperation."
  "After you." The Doctor raised his muzzle.
  "This matter begins with my great-grandmother's escape. A Red Army bullet did go through her heart and her body was thrown into an abandoned mine, but three days later she awoke and the wound miraculously healed. It was then that she remembered what Rasputin had told her, that Rasputin said he was willing to share the secrets of the world with his great-grandmother because she, like himself, was God's chosen one. Like Rasputin, she had an unparalleled power of life and could even return from hell. She later married a Red Army officer, and in those days the only way she could gain refuge was to marry a Red Army officer. My great-grandfather, who later stepped into the high ranks of the military, was a very good man and always protected my great-grandmother from revealing her identity. Great-grandmother would sometimes wake up in a dream and shout, 'The Red Army is coming with guns,' and great-grandfather would reassure her, 'I am the Red Army, and as long as I live, the Red Army guns will only protect you.'"
  "Touching love." The doctor said faintly.
  "Great-grandmother decided to give up her past identity, so she rarely talked about the past of the Romanov dynasty, with the exception of one thing. She bade her great-grandfather that there were relics of God in the north of Siberia, which the saint Rasputin had told her about. That saint found the cave where God created life on the shore of the icy sea. But he did not announce it to the world, but sealed the miracle with iron water, because the miracle had degenerated into the cradle of the devil, and inside it were hidden fallen angels. Generations of our family descendants have to be on guard against the reopening of that cave, and the day it reopens, the end comes with it."
  "So you are here to check if we are guarding the miracle properly?"
  "No, no, my great-grandmother was a good and devout Orthodox Christian, but I am not. I have a great curiosity about everything, and after I inherited the secret, I am bent on finding the miracle. If I were to find it, I would definitely open it and take a look. Not long ago I found an engineering map from the ruined archives." Bondarev drew out the map roll and rolled it along the ice toward the Doctor, "It marks the elevator that leads deep into the tundra."
  The Doctor scanned the map, "It's not the original map, someone drew it from memory."
  "It was drawn by a madman who used to be the engineer battalion commander of the 13th Konrad Infantry Division and was ordered to participate in the excavation of the tunnel, after which he was brainwashed by drugs and became a regular in a mental hospital. All he remembered was that he was engaged in a big project on the northern coast of Siberia, and the project was to dig a cave. Suddenly I realized I had found a breakthrough. But as the investigation progressed, I found that the matter was becoming more and more mysterious. Many years ago, the army had built a port in the almost unnavigable northern part of Siberia, about which there was no information, and even the coordinates had been erased. Below that port, sappers had dug through the hard permafrost and opened a long-closed cave. So I decided to come and see for myself. As a KGB officer, I easily applied for a charter to investigate this mysterious port, so that I could drive in as the 'Minister of the Admiralty'. Sure enough, I found Rasputin's signature at the end of the passage, and I finally arrived at the place I had dreamed of since childhood." Bondarev looked around, "But it doesn't look like there's anything interesting here."
  "I'm sure you noticed when you came here that the closer you got to the door where Rasputin signed, the more bones there were in the tundra, and they all crawled out through a gap in the rock wall. It was those things that Rasputin was talking about when he said this cave would breed demons. But now the cave is dead, and the mysterious forces in the cave have dissipated."
  "I don't think so. If this cave was no longer valuable, you would have left long ago."
  "If this cave was really valuable, I should have shot you and monopolized the secrets of this place."
  "Wait a minute! I have brought you a gift! Won't you take a look at the gift before shooting?'' Bondarev took an envelope from inside his clothes and slid it along the ice toward the Doctor, by which he showed that he had absolutely no intention of resisting.
  The doctor tore open the envelope, inside was a Swiss bank cashier's check - a cashier's check for $200 million.
  "This is a rare and large check, what do you want to buy from me with this check?" 'Doc asked.
  "Not a purchase, just a gift." Bondarev smiled, "We believe this gift will be useful to you. Your research has been going on for decades, consuming huge amounts of state funds every year, and it must not be finished yet, right? But now that the Soviet Union is about to split, your backers have fallen, which means you no longer have access to funding to complete your research, and no one to help you keep it secret."
  "It does sound like I'm facing a lot of trouble." The doctor said.
  "Then why not work with my family? We know politics, we know technology, and we know war, and we're willing to invest in this cave as long as its secrets pay off. We can continue to support you in this project and share with you all the benefits it brings. I have already shown my sincerity and told you everything I know. Shouldn't you also tell me what I don't know? After that you will still have time to shoot me."
  "You are very calm, Comrade Major. You think I won't shoot you if you produce this $200 million cashier's check, don't you?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the Doctor's tone.
  "There are not many people in the world who can refuse two hundred million dollars." Bondarev smiled, "And killing me wasn't the best option. If I do not return safely to Moscow, the family will know that something has happened to me, and they will not spare you. At that time the secret of Black Swan Harbor will be made known to the world."
  "Ten times." The doctor threw the cashier's check back to Bondarev.
  Bondarev froze: "What did you say?"
  "Your family needs to increase the bid tenfold. I need three years and two billion dollars to complete this research. At that time we will share the whole world."
  "That amount is beyond my expectations and not easy to raise even for my family."
  The Doctor laughed coldly: "It seems you really don't know the secret of this cave, in front of which two billion dollars is too small a figure, what is here no one can afford, it is priceless! Your family should be proud to offer this two billion dollars."
  "Everything has a price, weapons, women, secrets, even souls." Bondarev said.
  "But who can put a price on God?" The Doctor asked.
-------
The Lenin's mooring is only 40 kilometers from Black Swan Harbor, and they will be here soon. This new flare is so great that American spy satellites will recognize it as an aurora borealis." Bondarev said.
  "You had said that the Lenin would not come." The doctor said.
  "Moscow is not prepared to send the Lenin to Black Swan Harbo, but we can, and now the Lenin is at my family's beck and call."
  Black shadows rose above the sea level, the roar of a giant bee on its wings approaching at high speed, snow dust twisted into a tornado by the helicopter's rotors, red five stars flashing in the white tornado. It was the "MiG 26" heavy helicopter, codenamed "Halo", one of the pride of the Soviet military industry. The helicopter hovered over the cast iron dock, the searchlights broke through the haze of the night, the hatch opened, and five captains lined up, saluting Bondarev. The communication lights below the belly of the plane blinked up, signaling greetings to Bondarev in Morse code.
  "Glad to see you're safe and sound, Your Imperial Highness!" The doctor read out the greeting.
  The fact that they called Bondarev "His Imperial Highness" instead of "comrade" meant that the helicopter and the Lenin on the icy sea were no longer loyal to the Soviet Union, but to the heir to the Romanov dynasty. The name Romanov is about to shine again after almost a century of obliteration in history, and with the power of the Dragons, it is not impossible for them to re-establish hegemony on Earth.
  Bondarev handed a letter to the Doctor: "This is a letter I wrote to the family, please read it."
  The Doctor scanned it and handed the letter back to Bondarev.
  "If things go well, we will be able to relocate within a few weeks." Bondarev handed the letter to a captain who descended down the zip line, "We will build you a brand new research base in the warm and pleasant Baltic Sea, along with a vacation villa."
  The captain placed a mouthful of boxes at the doctor's feet, containing a case of aged Red Label vodka.
  "A small gift, so you don't have to worry about running out of booze until we leave Black Swan Harbor." Bondarev said.
  "I guess I picked the right partner." The Doctor smiled.
***** HE VERY STRONG AND CAPABLE ***********
Bondarev looked alert, his muscles bulging under his uniform. He was a highly trained soldier, capable of breaking a wolf's neck with his bare hands, and had no need to fear this delicate boy, but not daring to take it lightly in the presence of something supernatural, he adjusted himself to a state of immediate danger.
------
Bondarev noticed a transparent figure flashed from his side. It was just a short blink of an eye, a fraction of a second, but Bondarev was trained to the rigors of the KGB and he was absolutely certain it was a person!
-------- IS A HYBRID THAT HAS NO ISSUE KILLING PEOPLE, INCLUDING KIDS ------------
The lieutenant on duty in the boiler room collapsed on the duty desk, a bottle of Red Label vodka still in his hand. A steel-core bullet had penetrated his heart, and Bondarev stood behind the lieutenant with his Makolov pistol.
---
At that moment the doctor heard the wind change behind his head, and the beam of the searchlight struck him. He turned sharply and saw huge black shadows hovering in the air, their rotor blades churning the snow into a flurry. It was Halo, the heavy helicopter from the Lenin, which had ventured to Black Swan Harbor in such bad weather.
  "Didn't you say Halo couldn't fly in a snowstorm of this magnitude?" The Doctor froze. Something hard pressed against his back, it was Bondarev's Makarov pistol. One by one, the steel-core bullets pierced the Doctor's chest, tearing the aging heart into a million pieces. The Doctor spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of his lungs, which had been destroyed in the process. He braced himself and turned his face to look at Bondarev, his eyes filled with shock.
  "You can't complete the research without me ......," he hissed.
  "We didn't even try to finish your research." Bondarev's pupils swirled with a gorgeous gold.
  "Who the hell ...... are you?"
  Bondarev held the Doctor in place and injected him with adrenaline using an air needle, "Hold on one more minute for the most magnificent scene."
  The Black Swan Harbor suddenly trembled up tremendously, the sound of a series of explosions spread upward from the ground, but it was not a vacuum bomb detonated in advance, if it was a vacuum bomb, a square kilometer around would be leveled to the ground. A fire rose, and countless pieces of frozen earth spilled onto the frozen sea.
  "Engineering explosive mines?" The Doctor asked in a hiss.
  "The new engineering burst mines, even 10,000 years of permafrost, as long as the right eye is chiseled can be blown up. Now in a place you can't see, there is a huge hole with a depth of 180 meters, leading to Rasputin's cave, where we will use the laser to cut through the ice and take away the precious collection that originally belonged to you." Bondarev said, "You have been isolated from the outside world for too long to know the progress of engineering, it is no longer difficult to cut through the tundra in an instant today, once I probe its location."
  "You ...... want to take that dragon!" The Doctor understood.
  "Yes," Bondarev replaced the magazine, walked over to the sled, and fired four bullets into the chests of each of the four children.
  The children died without a struggle from the potent hypnotic drug. It was pure carnage.
  "You are not the only one who is willing to sacrifice human lives for a great cause." Bondarev pressed his chest in silence for the children he had just killed, looking reverent.
