s Dragonfire: The Classified Files #4 cover TIBET: 1980ña bald man is about to sacrifice one of their former cult members, someone he feels betrayed their cult. The man, believing there is wisdom only in the word of darkness summons his master to appear. Lightning and a monster of unbelievable design arrives, "I am here." Not faraway, Prof. Stringfellow (Sam or John, the first Stringfellow?), with Kohl Drake, the man, catches up with Maire and her guide (a small Oriental boy named Peanut). It is cold and all of them are in winter snow gear. There is snow on the ground. The moon is almost at its zenith soon and the unholy blade thirsts for blood. The demon giant calls Mark the Demon Hunter and is honored. The cult man wants the sacrifice to be killed and whines at the demon, who tells him to kill the fool: the former cult member: Mark! Mark, on the table, tells the cult leader to cut the mumbo jumbo, "Just do it!" Mark is tied to the altar table. Maire, the guide, Kohl, and Stringfellow arrive. The demon attacks them. Kohl shoots the cult leader as the man is plunging the knife down at Mark. The man dies, his eye and face blown out. The knife falls very near to the right side of Mark's head. Kohl tells the demon we dareññDragonring! The three adults open fire. The cult members start to die. Peanut runs to go help Mark despite Maire's warning for the boy to stay back. The three fire at the cult members, moving them away from the altar. Peanut runs up to the slab. Mark calls back, "Get me offa this slab." Peanut says, "Hiya, Mark!" Mark says, "Hi yourself, Peanut!" Peanut uses the knife to cut Mark free (Mark appears to have a pony tail). Kohl gives Mark a rifle and they shoot at the cult members left alive. The monster orders the defilers (Dragonring) killed. The cult is all dead. Maire asks, "Where's Peanut?" The monster says, "Ahem, mmm, tasty!" Mark opens his mouth. Peanut was eaten. Mark yells. He fires at the monster. Stringfellow tosses a pack of phosphorous grenades at it and it snags onto its right horn. The monster blows up and falls, dead. One of the heros says, "Burn baby burn." Maire asks, "Mark?" Mark seems to be crying (probably due to Peanut having been eaten by the demon monster). Kohl seems to be putting a hand on Mark's shoulder, "C'mon Hunter, let's go." END.
