Synopsis: The Huntsclan captures Haley. Can Rose save her without exposing herself?
Captured
Jake, Haley and their respective Dragon Masters are at Central Park. "Pay attention, Haley. The Huntsclan is a very dangerous group." Sun Park says. "Don't let those two Huntsboys you met during that mirror incident mislead you into thinking they're all clumsy like that."
"She's right, Haley." Jake adds. "The Huntspunk is a dangerous combination of physical strength, sheer determination and blind anger."
"And what about the Huntsgirl?" Haley asks.
Before Jake says anything, Sun surprises him with her answer. "She's even more dangerous than him. Unlike the other dragon slayers, she doesn't seem to be so blinded by hatred, which allows her to think ahead her moves and come up with good battle strategies."
"But the last time I went to the Isle of Draco there was a statue of the Huntsman and none of the Huntsgirl." Haley replies.
"She's still an apprentice." Sun explains. "Soon she'll not only join the 13 but also outrank him."
"G, did you never tell Sun...?" Jake asks but is interrupted by Lao Shi.
"Look." Lao Shi says as he points at some footprints. Fu smells them and confirms it's the Huntsmaster.
"What's he doing here?" Haley asks.
"You tell me, Haley." Sun replies. "He's going from North to South on a full moon."
"He's hunting unicorns." Haley answers.
"Little know-it-all." Jake mutters.
"You also got the answer correct when I first took you here, young dragon." Lao Shi explains.
"That was because Fu... never mind." Jake replies. "Look, the unicorns."
They then see the unicorns and the Huntsmaster ready to shoot something at them. "Stop right there, Huntspunk." Jake demands.
88, 89 and the Huntsgirl join the Huntsmaster. "You and which army are gonna stop us?" The Huntsmaster asks.
"We will." Haley answers as she, Lao Shi and Sun Park reveal themselves.
"Four against four?" The Huntsmaster wonders. "I like that."
Lao Shi fights the Huntsmaster. Jake "fights" the Huntsgirl. Haley and Sun Park fight 88 and 89.
"You're already old, dragon." The Huntsmaster taunts Lao Shi. "Why don't you die?"
Meanwhile, Jake and the Huntsgirl are staging another battle. "What about using this place as the next dream date scenario, babe?" Jake asks.
"We're still keeping it professional, Jake." She replies.
"Aw, come on, just another date." Jake pleads.
"Begging for mercy won't help, dragon." Huntsgirl replies, fearing the Huntsmaster might be noticing her.
"T-t-the same goes for you, dragon girls." 89 says, trying to sound tough.
"Why don't you just give up, you cowards?" Haley asks.
"O-okay." 88 replies and drops his Huntstaff, accidentally shooting at Haley. Noticing this, the Huntsmaster decides to forget about his fight and go after Haley. "Huntsclan, regroup."
All slayers then regroup next to Haley so no other dragon would reach her on time to save her from being teleported to the Huntsclan base. "Nooooooooooooooo." Jake yells.
"Jake." Sun tries to comfort him but he won't listen.
"G, Sun, Fu, we gotta rescue Haley!" Jake desperately pleads. "Rose can tell us where they're keeping her. She might convince them to keep her alive long enough so we can rescue her."
"What are you talking about, Jake?" Sun asks, confused. "Isn't Rose just a regular human girl? What does she have to do with the Huntsclan?"
"Didn't Gramps tell you?" Jake asks, still confused at Sun's previous statement about the Huntsgirl.
LINE BREAK – The Huntslair
"We did it, 88!" 89 exclaims.
"Congratulations, Huntsboy #88." The Huntsmaster calmly comments. "For a while, I thought you surrendered. Nice trick, indeed."
"Yeah, trick." 88 comments, glad the Huntsmaster didn't notice it wasn't intentional.
"Master, what are we gonna do to this dragon?" The Huntsgirl asks, secretly worried.
"You won't get away with this, you monsters." Haley, who's chained to the wall, angrily replies.
"You're the monster here, dragon!" The Huntsmaster replies. "88, since that filthy creature is your catch, you'll be the one to have the honor of slaying her."
"NO!" Huntsgirl suddenly yells, getting the attentions of the other slayers and Haley.
"Care to explain, Huntsgirl?" The Huntsmaster asks, glaring at her.
"We could use her as a bait to capture the American Dragon." Huntsgirl suggests, hoping to sound like she actually means it.
"Excellent idea, Huntsgirl." The Huntsmaster comments after thinking about it.
"My Dragon Master was right about you, Huntsgirl." Haley angrily comments. "You're the most dangerous of them all."
"Not yet but she's getting there." The Huntsmaster comments. "88. You and 89 stay here keeping an eye at this filthy dragon while the Huntsgirl and I plan our trap."
"Master, you cannot trust the Huntsgirl." 89 warns.
"She's just trying to figure out a way to save the dragon because of her BFF." 88 adds.
"BFF forever." 89 'corrects'.
"The last F already stands for..." 88, again, tries to explain.
"SILENCE!" The Huntsmaster commands. "We'll go with the Huntsgirl's plan. You both will stay here and make sure she won't escape or die."
The Huntsboys nod and are left alone with Haley. "Dragon, you're lucky the Huntsmaster didn't allow us to slay you." 89 falsely brags.
"Yeah, otherwise we'd be Pow! Zing! Bang! And you'd be 'please, spare me, oh mighty 88' and I'd say 'no, you filthy creature. You deserve this' and then another Bing! Zam! Pow!" 88 adds.
"You know, 88? The Huntsmaster only told us not to let her escape and not to let her die." 89 comments. "He never said we couldn't harm her." The two Huntsboys are now smiling.
Meanwhile, the Huntsmaster and the Huntsgirl are analyzing a map of Central Park searching for possible hiding spots for traps and hunters. "You, the Huntsboys 88 and 89 and I will be at the middle of Central Park with our bait waiting for the American Dragon and any other dragon who..."
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" The Huntsmaster is interrupted by a mysterious yell. He and the Huntsgirl check it out and find Haley laughing while 88 and 89 are sitting on basins filled with water. 89 then notices the Huntsmaster and the Huntsgirl glaring at them. "The kraken?" 89 sadly asks.
"Yes." The Huntsmaster answers.
