After Homecoming
The Huntsmaster was about to wish for the destruction of all magical creatures but Rose interferes.
"I wish for the destruction of..." The Huntsmaster said until Rose steals the wish.
"... the whole Huntsclan except for me." (A/N: I told in another ADJL fic that if I owned the series Rose would have changed the wish so she would survive with her memories intact.)
The whole Huntsclan is destroyed except for Rose, since the wish specifically said except for her, and Huntsboys #88 and #89, who utilized a loophole to leave the Huntsclan so the wish wouldn't affect them.
"Nice move, Rose." Jake compliments.
"Thank you." Rose says. "And sorry about getting those skulls from your Grandpa's shop."
"It's all right, Rose." Jake replies. "They held your family hostage."
"Thanks again." Rose says in a relief.
"Not so fast." Lao Shi interrupts. "The Dragon Council still wants to submit the Huntsgirl to a trial for all the threat she once posed against the magical community."
"Aw, man." Jake moans. "Is that really necessary?"
"It's okay, Jake." Rose says in an understanding tone. "I'll let them judge me. But what about my family?"
"We'll find them and tell about what happened but if they refuse to keep the secret I'll make them forget." Lao Shi explains.
A few days later, in the Island of Draco, Rose is waiting for her trial and she receives three special visitors. Her sister and her parents.
"Mom. Dad. Sister. I'm so glad I finally met you!" Rose exclaims.
"And we're surprised those kidnappers were right about magical creatures" Rose's Mom says.
"Why didn't you call me by name?" Rose's sister asks.
"I've never got your name." Rose sheepishly explains.
"My name is Lily." She explains. (A/N: I don't know if Rose's twin sister ever got a name in the series. If she has a name please tell me.)
"Nice to meet you, Lily." Rose says.
"What those bad guys did to you?" Rose's Dad asks.
"I was trained to fight magical creatures and mislead to think they are all evil." Rose explains.
"Well, they're quite bad keeping you locked away after some sort of criminal." Rose's Mom replies.
"I can't exactly blame them after all the bad things I did as Huntsgirl". Rose replies regretful of Huntsgirl's actions.
In the courtroom, Rose's family feels the hostility some magical creatures feel towards her.
"My gold and I will feel safe when they lock her away where she can't steal it again." They hear a leprechaun commenting in front of his friends.
Rose's parents are shocked. The Huntsclan turned her into a thief?
"Order. Order in court." Councilor Andam, the African Dragon, demands.
"We are here to discuss the case of the magical creatures versus the Huntsgirl, a.k.a. Rose Killdragonosa." Councilor Omina announces.
"Rose Killdragonosa, you were charged with two robbery attempts against a leprechaun and his gold." Another councilor says. "What do you plead?"
"I'm guilty, You Honor." Rose replies. Her family is shocked that she's willing to face the consequences of her deeds as Huntsgirl.
"Rose Killdragonosa, what do you plead about the charges of being the Huntsmaster's accomplice in an attempt of stealing a rare griffin egg?" Councilor Omina asks.
"I'm guilty, You Honor." Rose replies.
"Oh, no!" Rose's Mom whispers. "They forced her into an eco-crime?"
Jake hears this and then remembers that if the humanity knew griffins are real the federal authorities would be after the Huntsmaster for that griffin incident.
Rose's family is even shocked as she pleads guilty for things like her several attempts to slay the American Dragon, who was later revealed to be a teenager like her, and the Great Equinox Hunt, which they don't exactly know what it is but are afraid of what they make it sound.
"And what do you have to say about having tried to slay the American Dragon during a cruise despite having allegedly turned into our side?" Councilor Adam says.
"I was under the negative effects of Cupid's love arrows, You Honor." Rose pleads. "I can't be held responsible for any acts I've committed under that condition."
The Dragon Council checks Jake's records about that.
"Fair enough, Miss Killdragonosa." Councilor Omina says. "But the other crimes are already enough to keep you locked away for a good time. And what do you have to say about having invaded Lao Shi's electronics store to steal the last aztec skulls?"
"They threatened to kill my family if I refused." Rose explains, making her sister and her parents shocked with that.
"Does anyone here who met her before the destruction of the Huntsclan have anything to say in her defense?" The African Dragon asks.
Jake Long lifts his hand. "I have."
"Anyone whose judgement isn't blinded by any personal feelings towards her?" The African Dragon adds.
"I have." Lao Shi says. "She had informed us on the Huntsclan's plans to use the aztec skulls and had been spying on them for us."
"Lao Shi, did you actually trust her?" Councilor Omina asks.
"Not at first. I initially suspected it was a trap to capture my grandson but further investigations revealed that she was telling the truth." Lao Shi answers.
After some minutes of deliberation, the Dragon Council announces a veredict.
"Rose Killdragonosa, after measuring all you did against us and for us, we decided to allow you to be free." Councilor Omina says. "On probation. You must report yourself to the American Dragon every two weeks." Rose and Jake are quite pleased about that decision.
The African Dragon then informs Rose's family that they must keep the magical community a secret and inform them about any plans they have towards Rose's life. They accept that since it's thanks to them they got her back.
I'll add more chapters as long as I have new stories from this point. Please R&R.
