IN THE DRAGON'S CARE
(New York Public Library)
Abe Sapien: Red, there's a presence here
Hellboy: good, bad
Abe Sapien: both good and evil, it's protecting something
Liz: what is it, is it dangerous
Abe Sapien: I don't know what the presence is, it doesn't want to hurt anything but it will defend what ever it's protecting, if it's endangered
Hellboy: can you tell what it's protecting
Abe Sapien: it's protecting a child
Hellboy: what!? (he's about to kick the door open when Abe stops him)
Abe Sapien: Red, no, we need to enter carefully, we don't want to provoke it
(they open the door and slowly go in a deep voice rumbles from the dark rose of book shelves)
Cyroo: who dares disturb my watch
Abe Sapien: we are here from the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense to speak to you about your residence
Cyroo: silence, fish demon
Hellboy: hey!, scale face! where's the kid!?
Cyroo: silence Red demon, you will wake her
Chibi: (yawns) Cyroo...? what's going on....? (a girl no older than 17 climbs onto the large scaly creatures back rubbing her eyes)
Cyroo: nothing small one, go back to sleep now
Hellboy: let the kid go
Chibi: Cyroo who are those people
Liz: we're here to help
Cyroo: come forward, Lady of The Flames
(Liz walks towards him, the creature lowers its head, revealing a scarlet face set with deep amber eyes, the girl slides down the creature’s neck and lands in front of Liz)
Chibi: why are you here to help
Liz: well, it's not very common to see something like .... well like-
Chibi: Cyroo
Liz: yes, where are your parents
Chibi: don't know, Cyroo's taken care of me as long as I can remember
Cyroo: for years we lived in the mountains up until four days ago when your kind started pursuing us, so we fled and came here
Liz: people are frightened, and they'll pursue you here too
Cyroo: do you perhaps know of a place where Chibi and I will be safe
Liz: there is a place, but I'm not sure the Bureau would be big enough to hold you, just how big are you anyway
Cyroo: 6'2" from head to foot, 4'9" from nose to tail
Liz: just a few inches shorter than Red, I think you will fit, will you come with us then
Cyroo: we will yes, Chibi, arms up
(Chibi puts her arms up and holds onto the dragon's snout, and he lifts her up onto his back, he gets up and lumbers forward behind Liz and comes to a stop before Hellboy and Abe)
Liz: Red, Blue, this is Cyroo and Chibi, they're coming back to the Bureau with us
Hellboy: Liz, I don't think Manning is going to be too happy with us if we bring a dragon home with us
Chibi: why not you're bigger than Cyroo and they let you stay don't they
Abe Sapien: she has a point Red
Hellboy: all right back to the truck people
(they go to the back, where the garbage truck they travel in is parked Agent John Myers at the wheel)
Hellboy: you're riding in back with us scales
(the dragon starts into the back but Chibi climbs in first)
Hellboy: whao! I don't think so kid, you're riding up front with Liz and Myers
Chibi: I wanna stay with Cyroo
(Cyroo picks her up gently in his mouth by the neck of her jacket and places her outside)
Cyroo: go on small one, off with you now
(he nudges her forward with his nose and watches as she climbs into the front of the truck before he gets in the back)
(back at the Bureau loading dock Chibi jumps out of the cab of the garbage truck and watches as the back of the truck opens and Cyroo lumbers out slowly)
Cyroo: blasted steps
Tom Manning: what the hell is that thing
Cyroo: I beg your pardon sir!
Chibi: my name is Chibi and this is Cyroo, he's not normally this grumpy but he's been in the back of that truck for so long he's a little sore from all the traveling, I'm very sorry sir
Tom Manning: well he can get back on the truck because he's not staying here
Chibi: then I can't stay
Tom Manning: you can stay, you have to stay, but he can't
Chibi: not without Cyroo
Tom Manning: what, why not
Hellboy: it's like this Manning these two are a package deal, you can't have one without the other, where ever one goes the other follows.
