Double Dragon Page #2

The other half gives power

over the soul.

Legend says it can transform

a man into a ghost...

and give him strength of steel.

Power of body...

and strength of steel?

Where's the "on" button?

To use it now

would put us in danger.

Dark forces know

of its existence.

It's been the source

of much death and destruction.

It is our responsibility

to protect the dragon.

It's best to let it sleep.

Billy Lee, age 17.

Parents deceased.

Legal guardian-

Satori lmada.

Last known address-

Deville Theater.

Fourth-degree black...

How was I supposed to know?

It looked like cheap jewelry.

Jimmy Lee...

The power of

the second dragon calls me.

They'll surrender it or die.

Lash!

Satori lmada-

You know better than that.

Not until I have my shades on.

Once the medallions are mine,

so then will be New Angeles.

I've always wanted my own city.

Now... as for you, Mr. Abobo-

Lash should have put out an APB

on that medallion.

It's her fault.

Nobody likes a tattletale.

Your incompetence

sticks needles...

in the flesh of my honor.

Think of this

as similar punishment.

My engineering firm

created this, my pin cushion.

Sudden molecular steroids.

You'll have the strength

of 10 men.

I have the strength of 10 men.

This will kill me.

Perhaps. I consider you

like a son, Abobo.

Like a son,

I can always have another.

However, there's only

one Double Dragon.

Please, have a seat.

Yah!

Once again,

Madonna's in the news.

She held a press conference

in Old York.

She said her marriage

to Tom Arnold is finished.

She's moving to Paris.

The ex-pop superstar said

simply, she wants to be alone.

It's tragic, isn't it?

Vice president Jerry Brown was

in Bangladesh this week...

attending the funeral

of Chairman Khan.

MARIAN:
Hey. What's up?

Give me $100, or I'll tell Dad

about your hair.

OK, just five bucks,

but you owe me.

MARIAN:
Get lost.

You're gonna get busted.

CHIEF:
Morning.

Morning.

HAMILTON:
A plane

containing medical supplies...

exploded last night.

Authorities believe

it's the work of the Power Corp.

Damn Power Corp.

MARIAN:
Setup. The plane was

probably filled with drugs.

- What do you know?

- I know that the Power Corp...

doesn't go around at night

terrorizing the city.

- That's what I know.

- Marian, don't start.

At least I got the guns

off the street.

You should have seen it

when everybody had an Uzi.

Dad, please.

Not the Uzi story again.

Marian, you were too young

to remember...

what it was like

after the quakes.

Floods, power outages,

gas leaks all over,

and no help from the Feds.

When we looked up

from the debris, ahh...

the gangs ran the city.

Yeah. They still do, Dad,

every night!

One thing I learned from Mom...

is to fight for

what you believe in.

At least the days are safe,

Marian.

If that's not enough for you,

try being a cop sometime.

So I could learn to compromise

with thugs? No, thanks.

The Power Corp doesn't just

clean the mess in the morning;

they fight.

CHIEF:

The Power Corp are terrorists.

BILLY:
That was pretty good.

The problem with you is

you don't understand physics.

Two hands! Hang on to me!

They call it martial arts,

not martial science.

- Like you'd know the difference.

- I would.

SATORl:
You guys

are doing great... just great.

See what you did?

- Do it right.

- I did it right.

I've missed you, lotus flower.

Geisman.

No one has called me Geisman

for many years.

But like a phoenix

rising from the ashes,

I have ascended.

I've taken a new name,

that of the great,

ancient Japanese warlord.

I am Koga Shuko.

SATORl:
You... you're Shuko?

I'm afraid so.

You see, Satori, no one wants

to party with Victor Geisman.

Now, I believe you have

something that belongs to me.

You ask so politely... Geisman.

- Just give me the medallion.

- I think not.

I put continents

between the medallions...

to keep them away from you.

I'd hoped you wouldn't find me.

It hardly matters.

- You'll never find the dragons.

- Really?

Now, give me

the other half.

BILLY:
What's going on?

Nice hair, dude.

Jimmy, Billy, run!

Stop them!

BILLY:
What about Satori?

JIMMY:
Like she needs our help.

BILLY:
Good point.

- So, divide and conquer?

- You got it.

Professor Lee was wrong.

You've lost yourself.

Ha ha ha!

BILLY:
Oh, Romeo...

Ha!

Who wants gum?

- What a head case.

- Let's get out of here.

When the excavation

collapsed, I thought you died.

I mourned for you.

It wasn't until years later...

that I realized you'd stolen

what is rightfully mine.

- Hyah!

- Uh!

It was never yours.

Ha ha!

Ahh...

Lotus flower, I've missed

your sense of peasant justice.

We've been apart

for far too long.

Ha ha!

- What was that?

- No idea.

JIMMY:
Bricks. The bricks.

Ha ha ha!

Home Lee.

Ug Lee.

Stan Lee! Ha ha! Whoa!

BILLY:
All right!

Nothing but net.

Daddy.

- Satori, you OK?

- Yes. Yes.

SATORl:

There's no time to waste.

The big one

will free himself soon.

Give me the medallion.

You can escape.

What about you?

With the dragon, I can

stay behind and protect you.

I'll stay behind.

How do I turn this on?

Give it!

JIMMY:
That's not Satori!

Here.

- Where's Satori?

- Ah...

You've made a fatal mistake.

Not from where we're standing.

SATORl:
Uh!

This is getting weird.

Tsk, tsk.

You boys had better learn

to respect your elders.

Now you've locked Satori

in this dangerous old theater.

Oh, yeah?

What's so dangerous about it?

Huh. It's a firetrap.

The choice is yours:

Satori... or your half

of the Double Dragon.

Very well.

That's the power of the soul.

Is it just me,

or is it hot in here?

I'll be outside.

The gas line is broken.

The place is gonna blow.

BILLY:
Get Satori free!

SATORl:
Go!

Shuko mustn't get

both pieces of the dragon.

We're not leaving without you.

SATORl:
Come on.

SATORl:
Run!

BILLY:
Satori!

Satori!

They may still have

the medallion...

but they'll no longer have you.

Open up! Satori!

- Satori!

- Satori!

- Satori, open the door!

- Let's go around front!

- Satori!

- No!

Satori.

Where's Shuko?

Lash, set a meeting

with the gangs.

Why?

Through them,

the medallion will be mine.

Whew! Aah!

Oh, this is cool. Aah!

MARIAN:
Hey.

Aah!

- Hey!

- Aah!

MARIAN:
Hello?

Huh?

Tell Dad

I'm sleeping over at Kim's.

Yeah, right.

So who is the Hungus Bogassi

says he's gonna unite the gangs?

Nobody knows who he is.

He's totally hollow.

But he's spreading

the goods around.

If we don't jack in,

we'll all be vapor!

What is he, nuts?

Maniacs don't take orders

from anybody!

- Do we mind-share?

- No! No! No!

Bring him to me.

I am Koga Shuko.

From now on, you'll do as I say.

You say? You little snarf!

Since when

did you even have a say?

Since now.

Is he all right?

Let's get him up.

Oh, God.

Boss.

Boss. Uh!

What is it?

Boss.

We'll take you to the boss.

Great. A grilled cheese engine.

Way to go, Billy.

We're officially pedestrians.

So what?

Jimmy, Satori's gone.
