[ WP ] You 're a rookie cop and it 's your first day on the job . When you encounter a drunk guy disturbing the peace in an alley , he turns into a dragon and you hear your partner say `` Not again ... ''

The dragon kept rising, growing to an impossible size. What used to be a homeless drunk staggering in an alley was now a golden scaled dragon over forty feet tall. Barry looked at his gun and felt it lacking for the task before him. 
 
 `` Not again. Oh this shit gets real tired. We got to move! Now!'' he grabbed Bart by the collar and the two men fled the alley before a wave of fire engulfed the area. 
 
 A horrible roar filled the air as the dragon suddenly took flight. Barry felt pinned to the ground by the wind of the wings beating. He knew he was at the mercy of the beast and if it decided to swipe at him with a claw or rain down more fire he'd be dead. 
 
 The dragon elected to ignore the two policemen and it stopped hovering and started flying toward downtown. `` The fuck was that?'' Barry yelled. 
 
 `` How should I know?'' Zach replied. 
 
 `` Because you said not again. You've dealt with shit like this before.'' 
 
 Zach grimaced, the truth of what he'd said meant he was going to have to do some explaining. 
 
 `` Look kid, you got a wife, you got a baby, I'm just trying to protect you from some really horrible shit.'' Zach told him. 
 
 `` I nearly got killed by a dragon! I do n't think you're doing that good of a job protecting me.'' Barry said. 
 
 `` Yeah the dragon sucked, but if you really want to go down this rabbit hole you better be ready to have your world turned upside down.'' 
 
 `` It's pretty upside down already, let's go all the way on this.'' 
 
 Zach thought about it and then pulled out his phone. `` We got an idiot here who wants to know about the genie. Of course he's been exposed, I'd never make this call if he had n't been. Get out here and let's get him to understand the nightmare he's living in.'' with that he hung up. 
 
 Within five minutes a black car with tinted windows rolled up. Zach motioned for Barry to get in the car. The second Barry's ass hit the seat he was zapped by a taser and left senseless. 
 
 He awoke in a small room with an open door. He walked out the door to a massive hive of humanity working on computers with giant screens overhead that had images of dragons, krakens, and other legendary beasts. The middle screen showed what appeared to be a small golden statue with tiny wings. Zach walked over to him. 
 
 `` Sorry about the rough ride. But security is vital here.'' Zach told him as he handed him a coffee. 
 
 `` What's with the weird pixie thing in the middle?'' Barry said and suddenly klaxons began blaring and people started screaming and running in all directions. 
 
 `` Of all the fucking words you had to say that one.'' Zach hissed. 
 
 Before anything else could be said the figure on the screen manifested itself in the room. It floated above Barry's head. 
 
 `` You wish to be the champion? To save the world?'' The little statue asked. 
 
 `` Do n't talk to it!'' Zach screamed, all sorts of devices began pointing at the statue, guns were being loaded and cocked all around the room. 
 
 `` Sure I'll save the world.'' Barry said. A bright light washed over him as he heard the screams from everyone in the building falling away. 
 
 Suddenly Barry was alone in a giant arena. Then the dragon landed and the statue followed it. 
 
 `` Kill the dragon! Save the world! If dragon kill you everybody die!'' The statue said gleefully. 
 
 `` I ca n't. I have no means to kill it. I'll just die the moment it attacks me. This is n't fair.'' 
 
 `` Fair?'' the statue asked. 
 
 `` Yes fair. For something to be fair both sides have to have a chance to win.'' Barry said. 
 
 In a blink suddenly the dragon was the size of a small house cat and Barry had a sword slung over his back and an AR-15 in his hands with three clips hanging from his belt. 
 
 `` Fair?!'' The statue asked. 
 
 `` No, this is n't fair. I'll kill the dragon without any effort.'' 
 
 `` But this way you win! Everyone live!'' The statue said. 
 
 `` Yes but that does n't make it fair. Just because I'm now the one that's going to win does n't mean it's right.'' Barry did n't know why he felt that explaining the concept of fairness to this alien being was more important then all life on the planet, but he had a feeling deep in his soul that coming to an understanding with this being was something that had to be done. 
 
 Another flash of light. Now the dragon was roughly the size of a tiger, and one of the ammo clips Barry had was gone. 
 
 `` Fair?!'' The statue asked. 
 
 `` Yeah, fair.'' Barry said with a nod. 
 
 `` Save the world!'' the statue cheered. It then winked out of existence. The dragon jerked it's head back and blasted a wave of fire at Barry who jumped and rolled to the side. 
 
 `` Well I've got myself in it now.'' Barry said as he loaded his gun and opened fire. The duel to save the world had begun.
