"Who are you?" replied JC to the voice within in the cave. Somehow he knew that this probably wouldn't be a good encounter as he ventured further into the cave.


"[b]WHOOOOOOOO AM I?![/b]" replied back the voice boomed back as the ground rumbled and  from the depths appeared an enormous serpentine dragon emerged.  Its claws grasped the cold earth deftly as it wriggled in a swerving motion towards JC. The dragon's scales were dark and dull much like rocks of the earth around him. But his eyes shone with a fiery and most malicious light. 

"So I see you're a dragon-"

He got cutoff by the arrogant dragon's next line of speech delivered in a sing song manner, "[b]FOOLISH HUMAN I AM THE GREAT SCATHA! AND YOU FOOLISH HUMAN HAVE MET YOUR DEATH FOR TRYING TO STEAL MY BOUNTIFUL TREASURE! I WILL CRUSH YOU AND RESUME MY DIGGING![/b]"

"Well how about you come face me outside so you can have a chance of dodging me trying to knock your teeth out?

"[b]VERY WELL, I WILL HUMOR YOU ME AS IT WILL MAKE FOR A CHANGE OF PACE FROM GUARDING MY TREASURE AND DIGGING![/b]" 

Backing out JC felt quite ready for a fight. He closed his eyes knowing it would further make the dragon feel overconfident, and concentrated until he felt a weight on his outstretched hands. He opened them and he saw in his hands he had the Cactus Screamer G Rank version.  "I'd use the fish on my back but frankly I like hammers better." he said to the dragon.

"[b]A GREEN SPIKED BALL ON A BONE A HAMMER? YOU AMUSE ME TOO MUCH HUMAN! I'LL REND THAT BALL OFF THE BONE AND SKEWER YOU ON IT AND WHEN I AM DONE I SHALL TAKE YOUR FISH AS A PRIZE AND DIG MERRILY!.[/b]

While the dragon boasted to JC, he had already had his blow charged and as such walked up to Scatha and delivered a fierce overhead swing that positively rattled the dragon's head much to his surprise. The blow not stunned him but he felt pain a pain that he had never felt before as the hundreds of needles pierced his hardened skull and even worse he felt a pernicious force sapping his strength flowing through his blood. Roaring the dragon let out a jet of flames searing all that it touched and melting even the rocks around him.  However JC"s instincts for this type of fight were well honed and he easily dodged that attack and he slammed the creature's head a couple of times before retreating.  

"[b]I SHALL BURN AND REND YOU INTO ASHES!"[/b] the dragon shouted literally frothing at the mouth as it's movement began to become even more agressive as it lunged at JC with snapping toothsome maw and occasionally making wide wild slashes with its front claws. Many a time the claws reached close to his lime to his hoodie. However he also was interrupted by JC's whirling attacks with the hammer as it smashed into his face and even broke some horns and scales off.  When his finished his whirl JC saw the dragon flinch as a purple cloud hovered above his head.  He reached into a pocket and produced a bottle which was flung to create a blinding a flash that stunned the dragon.  Now at his mercy he pounded at Scatha's face with tremendous force until he let out a terrible death rattle and slumped over dead.
