An Aztec Skull in Hong Kong

Rose "Huntsgirl" Killdragonosa enters her appartment. "Huntsgirl!" The Huntsmaster yells.

"Yes, Huntsmaster." Rose replies.

"The Huntsclan spies have informed me the last Aztec Skull is hidden somewhere in Hong Kong." The Huntsmaster informs her.

"Really?" Rose asks, surprised. "What a coincidence."

"Excuse me?" The Huntsmaster asks.

"Millard Fillmore Middle School is organizing a trip to Hong Kong." Rose explains. "We're going there."

"Great." The Huntsmaster comments. "I'll inform the Hong Kong branch."

Later, in the Dream Realm, Jake and Rose meet.

"Jake, we must talk." Rose says. "It's about the trip to Hong Kong."

"That's exactly what I wanna talk about." Jake replies. "I wanna go but Gramps said I should focus on the last skull so I said you told me the Huntsclan believes it might be in Hong Kong but he didn't believe. Could you confirm it later?"

"Of course I can, since it isn't a lie." Rose replies.

"Rose, since when did you become so sarcastic?" Jake asks, not understanding Rose.

"I am not being sarcastic." Rose explains. "The Huntsmaster really told me the last skull is believed to be in Hong Kong."

A stunned Jake Long spent the rest of the night thinking about that.

LINE BREAK – Canal Street Electronics – The Next Morning

Trixie and Spud enter the shop. "Yo, Jake, have you already made your Gramps believe the last skull might be located in Hong Kong?" Spud asks, not noticing Lao Shi's presence. Trixie elbows him.

"Actually, Jake told me Rose had really informed him last night during their last dream date but I'm waiting for her to show up and confirm this." Lao Shi replies.

"Yo, do you trust a dragon slayer but don't trust your own Grandson?" Trixie asks, a little outraged. "Rose is the Huntsgirl. She might be tricking us so none of us will be around while they get the last skull."

A Messenger Fairy appears. "Message from the Dragon Council to Luong Lao Shi."

"Wow. This must be important." Fu comments.

"Tell me about it." The messenger replies. "They even paid the urgency fee."

As soon as Lao Shi finishes signing the delivery notice, Rose enters. The Messenger Fairy flies away, afraid of her. "Lao Shi, I know Jake had initially made up about that skull being in Hong Kong but the Huntsmaster really believes it might be there."

Lao Shi finishes reading the letter. "Actually, accoring to this letter, the Chinese Dragon had already learned from a secure source some University from San Francisco is send an archaeologist to follow a clue on the skull. The only news you added was the fact the Huntsclan is aware of the skull being in Hong Kong."

"Fine then." Jake replies.

"Young ones, I'll tell the Chinese Dragon about you." Lao Shi tells and then turns to Rose. "Rose, I hope you understand if the Chinese Dragon's family refuses to trust you."

"Gramps, is that really necessary?" Jake asks. "Rose is okay."

"Jake, I understand other dragons in the world are reluctant about trusting me." Rose comments. "I'd not be surprised if your Grandfather never fully trusted me before that love cruise. Or that he still has some doubts even after that."

"Don't worry, Rose." Lao Shi replies. "I trust you. I'm just not sure how the dragons you don't meet on a regular basis will feel."

"Thank you." Rose says. "And who exactly is that archaeologist?"

"I have no idea." Lao Shi answers.

LINE BREAK – Uncle's Antiques

"Capt. Black, why are you so eager to join us?" Jackie Chan asks. "Don't tell me you believe that old myth about the thirteen Aztec Skulls being able to grant wishes if reunited." Jackie's Uncle hits him with the two-finger move. "Ouch."

"Of course the skulls' powers are real, Jackie. Don't you ever pay attention to Uncle?" Uncle asks/yells.

"Actually, I'm not sure if the skulls have any power or not." Capt. Black explains. "All I know is that a criminal organization known as the Huntsclan is after them."

"Did you say 'Huntsclan'?" Uncle asks, shocked.

"Yes." Capt. Black answers. "They're a group that believes magical creatures are real, which I now know they are, and should be destroyed. They also believe anyone who have dragon-shaped birthmarks should join them. Because of that, they abduct babies who bear those birthmarks and train them under Huntsclan values. One of my missions back when I used to work for Interpol consisted on finding and rescuing kids abducted by the Huntsclan. Unfortunately we had to stop when the Huntsclan invented new hiding means. But how did you hear about them?"

"The Huntsclan's origin can be traced from the Middle Ages." Uncle explains. "It all started with stories of dragons burning villages, devouring people and abducting helpless maidens." Uncle explains. "The Huntsclan believes it's their destiny to slay dragons."

"Where were they when we need help to get rid of Shendu?" Jade asks.

"Are you kidding?" Uncle asks. "Shendu would eat them alive. Or perhaps roast them first."
