American Dragon: Haley Long (Season One)
A/N: Here it is: my spin-off/sequel. So, this will be an 18 chapter/episode season/story, and unless this has a real lack of hits and reviews, I can guarantee at least two seasons/stories. It depends on how many ideas I have.
Disclaimer: I don't own American Dragon or any of the characters. Disney does. The only things I own are the episode ideas and my original characters, which there are too many to name.
Chapter/Episode 1: Pilot
In a dark and run down cabin on the edge of Manhattan, there stood a large black cauldron in the middle of the room; the cauldron was bubbling with boiling water as footsteps rang out and a young man clad in a blood-red Huntsclan uniform and silk mask appeared in front of the cauldron. The young Huntsclan member chuckled evilly as he reached down and pulled open a black garbage plastic bag and pulled out a large salt container.
"It's time…" The Huntsclan member muttered as he pulled the container open and proceeded to pour all the salt into the cauldron. "Now my kind will return…" As the Huntsclan member watched the water start to change color, he started to laugh evilly. However, his laughter came to an end when the water stopped bubbling. "What?" The Huntsclan member demanded as he looked at the water. "No!"
With a roar of rage, the Huntsclan member grabbed hold of the cauldron and tossed it over. The Huntsclan member turned around to seethe as the potion spilled all over the ground. As the potion started to sink through the cracks, the Huntsclan member calmed himself down and reached once again reached into the plastic bag before pulling out a piece of paper.
"Well…" the Huntsclan member looked at the paper. "It looks like I will have to get another brand…someplace else."
BLACKOUT
Opening:
The year is 2017. The world has changed for the worst since magical creatures were forced out of hiding nine years ago. The Dragon Council has done everything in their power to keep the peace. Unfortunately, that has done little. There are still riots in the streets and there are still violent attacks against both magical and normal beings alike.
It also isn't easy living in this world when you are related to someone who is deemed a traitor of the Magical World, and when there are few people who think otherwise. Yet still, the Council depends on me to fulfill my duty to protect the magical creatures from dangerous threats…
My name is Haley Long, and I am the American Dragon.
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Eighteen year old Haley Long was lying on her bed, drooling onto her pillow as the sun started to shine through her blinds. Haley's eyes suddenly shot open and she jumped up with a yelp as there was beeping noise coming from a device on her nightstand that was next to her futuristic alarm clock. A second later, out of that device, a hologram popped out omitting the face of her father, Jonathan Long.
"Haley!" he exclaimed with a wide smile on his face. "You're going to be late for school! Come on down for breakfast! I'm pouring the milk onto your cereal! Countdown to soggy—"
Haley groaned with annoyance as she slammed her hand over the device, shutting off the hologram. "I hate that darn thing…" Haley groaned as she got up from her bed and started un-buttoning her pajamas.
LINE BREAK
Haley yawned as she stepped off of the last step of the stairs and into the kitchen where her mother and father were. Her father, Jonathan Long, had aged a little bit, only having a few wrinkles and more grey in his hair. Her mother, Susan, had also not aged that much, she only had a little bit of gray in her hair. Haley herself had filled out quite a bit; she was now about five feet tall and her black hair with purple streaks was down and went down to her back, she wore a pink top, a short purple skirt and black, knee-high leather high-heeled boots. The scar that she had received when she was nine was faded, but still visible.
"Morning, Haley-hoo!" Jonathan welcomed her, a holographic newspaper in front of him. Haley nodded as she pulled out a chair and sat down, her mother putting down her breakfast in front of her.
"Hurry up and eat, Haley." Susan told her daughter. "You don't want to be late for school. Plus, we think it's best if you don't fly to school. It will only get you into more trouble."
"They already know that I'm a dragon, mom." Haley muttered as she ate her cereal as quickly as she could. As soon as she was done, Haley got from her chair and walked over to the door where she picked up her backpack before throwing open the door. "Besides, I need to get to school on time, Mom. I need to get there early. If I'm late just once, that will only be one more thing that the teachers will hate me for." She turned to face her mother with a rather pathetic look in her eyes. "Don't you think staying on their good sides is important?"
Susan's heart sank as she looked at her daughter's sad look. "Well…" Susan started, but then smiled. "Okay! Go for it!"
"Thanks, Mom!" Haley's face suddenly brightened up, and she opened the door before stepping outside and closing the door behind her.
As soon as she closed the door behind her, Haley took a look at the morning. There were overturned old-fashioned cars and hover-cars with their windows smashed. Sighing, Haley allowed a bright light to surround her, and when the light was gone, a large snake-like pink dragon took off into the air.
LINE BREAK
Haley flew until she caught sight of her school, Millard Fillmore High School, where her older had once attended but never graduated from. As Haley landed in front of the school, she heard a loud screech and a thud. Turning her head, Haley saw a girl with long brown hair cowering behind the stairs of the school. "Please don't hurt me!" the person begged.
At this statement, Haley heard a loud cackle as a group of about eight girls walked by. There were three in the front, a girl with very dark brown hair and a cheerleading uniform, one who was tall with short blonde hair and who wore tight jeans, a green blouse and a red, large coat and Olivia Mears. "Hi, Haley…" Olivia mocked in a sweet voice.
"Puh-lease, Belden!" the tall, blonde one giggled. "If she were to eat you, it would be one less loser at this school!"
"Yeah!" the cheerleader added. "It would be like, Darwin's Plan!"
"Darwin's Theory, Dena…" Haley rolled her eyes.
"Ooh…" the blonde said, mocking. "I didn't know that dragons were smart! Did you girls?" This got a "No." from both Dena and Olivia, making Haley growl in annoyance.
As soon as the group of mean girls had passed by, Haley reverted to her human form and walked over to the stairs, making the girl start to shake. "Leah…" Haley said softly. "I'm not going to hurt you…"
Haley was about to extend her hand to show the girl that she meant no harm, but before she could even finish extending it, the bell rang out. "Shoot!" Haley exclaimed as she turned and rushed into the building.
LINE BREAK
"Okay, class…" Haley, along with Olivia and the other two mean girls sat in Mrs. O'Yrael English classroom. O'Yrael sat on her desk, looking at her copy of the book they were reading. "Now, I assume you all read the first twenty chapters of my book about how bratty teenagers are…"
"Yes, ma'am…" the students replied in a monotonous way.
"Good…" O'Yrael said as she stood up. "So, who can tell me what I think of all you? How about you, Dragon Girl?"
"Uh…" Haley replied, trying to sound like she was actually thinking about it. "We're brats?"
"Very good…" the teacher said sweetly. "Now, why don't you tell me what I think about your kind?"
"That wasn't in the book!" Haley declared, completely annoyed.
"Wrong!" the teacher grinned evilly. "Do you mind telling me what I think about magical creatures, Miss Tatlock?"
The girl with the red jacket and short blonde hair stood up with a wide grin and spoke: "I think that you find them evil and dangerous beasts that should all be locked up, ma'am."
"Very good, Sierra…" Mrs. O'Yrael replied as Dena and Olivia giggled and pointed at Haley, who lowered her head in shame. "It just goes to show that humans are smarter than dragons."
"So true…" Olivia piped in. "I mean, there is no way that a dragon could be smarter than I am. She must have cheated on her tests off of me back when we were younger."
"That is the only logical explanation…" Sierra concurred.
Growling in annoyance, Haley got up from her seat and grabbed her backpack before heading to the door. "And where do you think you are going, Miss Long?" O'Yrael demanded, turning around from her seat at her desk. "Class has just started. If you want to leave, you're going to have to take a pass. Don't worry…" She reached for a drawer on her desk.
Haley watched as O'Yrael opened the drawer and pulled out a lanyard, which she started to hand to Haley. As Haley looked down at it, her blood nearly boiled. On the lanyard was a picture, actually a poor drawing of a dragon with the words "Dragon's Pass" above the picture. Haley looked back up at her teacher as she continued speaking. "The student body thinks that it would be best if you had a separate pass. Seeing as…you are the only dragon…"
As she listened to her teacher, Haley tried to control her feelings of disbelief and anger, but she was failing miserably and she was now shaking. Haley reached out and snatched the pass from her teacher before she turned and opened the door, closing it behind her.
As Haley walked down the hall, she passed by Leah, who was drinking out of the water faucet. As Leah saw the girl pass her, she looked up, the water on her chin dripping down to the hall pass around her neck. Leah whimpered before she got down and forced herself underneath the fountain, cowering in fear.
Haley ignored the girl and made her way to the nearest recycling tube. Forcing the pass into the tubes, Haley continued to walk down the halls as the recycling tube started to recycle the pass.
LINE BREAK
Haley pushed through the doors of the school and took a deep breath before she allowed her pink dragon form to appear and took off into the air.
Haley looked all around her as she flew towards Canal Street Electronics, closing her eyes as the wind hit her in the face. As the wind started to die down, Haley opened her eyes and looked down just in time to catch sight of someone running down an alley, only to trip. Haley didn't even have to think twice about helping the person. Swooping down, Haley landed in the alley and gasped when she saw the person. The colors of the clothes that he wore…
The man looked up, and Haley's worst fears were realized. The man had a Huntsclan mask over his head. The man gasped as well, and he reached back and pulled his Huntsclan staff from behind him. Tapping it on the ground, the Huntsclan member disappeared in a bright green light, taking his fallen goods with him and leaving Haley alone in the alley.
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Haley panted as she flew towards Canal Street Electronics as quick as she could. Haley blinked as the shop finally came into view and she started to descend to the ground. Setting her feet on the sidewalk, Haley allowed her dragon form to fade away as her human form replaced it. Haley took a step toward the shop, only to grunt as she walked into an invisible force; as Haley stepped back, she could see the outline of a large, green force-field.
As soon as Haley registered what had just happened, she growled in annoyance before she opened her mouth and shouted: "SUN!" Haley then crossed her arms, tapping her fingers against her left shoulder until the force-field vanished a couple seconds later.
Haley walked right through the door of the shop and made her way to the back where she could see her dragon master, Sun Park, who was talking to Fred Nerk. Sun had not aged very much; at age 35, the only change in Sun was the length of her black hair, which was now short enough to match the length of her hair when she was in her dragon form. Fred Nerk, on the other hand, had grown into a tall and strong 24 year old; now a member of the Council, Nerk now wore long yellow robes.
"Dragon Park, please!" Nerk appeared to be begging.
"I can't do that." Sun replied. "I have a duty to Haley. If I were to go along with what you wanted me to do, then who would continue training Haley in my absence?"
"It's not that I don't care about the American Dragon's training, ma'am…" Nerk said. "But Councilor Fachtna has given me orders. With Councilor Omina's passing, the last of the Council of our time is no longer living. We are short one councilor. We need you."
"I told you before, Councilor Nerk…" Sun ended the conversation with the most polite voice she could manage. "But my answer still stays the same."
"The Council will not be pleased…"
Sun was about to respond, but before she could speak, she sensed Haley's presence at the doorway. Haley entered the room as Sun turned her attention to her. "What's going on?" Haley asked.
"Nothing, miss…" Nerk answered her question as he snapped his fingers and transformed into his yellow dragon form. With a farewell of "Dragon Park…", Haley watched as Nerk lifted off of the ground and flew out of the room, and as she heard the ringing of the bell over the door, she turned to face Sun.
"Sun, we have a problem!" Haley exclaimed.
"Haley, why aren't you in school?" Sun asked as she walked over to the wall and pressed a green button, and Haley could hear the buzzing sound of the magic as the green force-field appeared over the shop once again. As soon as she had done that, Sun walked over to the couch and sat down.
"It's that Mrs. O'Yrael…" Haley grumbled. "I swear, she's worse than Rotwood. I just had to get out of that class. But Sun, there's something I have to tell you!"
"What is it?"
"While I was flying here, I saw something." Haley told her. "I flew down to help this person, but…he's a slayer!"
Sun chuckled lightly as she got up. "Haley, I'm sure you were just imagining things." Sun told her gently. "The only Huntsclan member still in existence is Rose, remember? They're all gone."
"But Sun…"
"Haley…" Sun smiled a soft, gentle, caring smile. "Trust me. You don't have to worry about the Huntsclan anymore. Okay? So, since you're here, why don't we get an early start on your training?"
LINE BREAK
It was completely dark outside by the time Haley was done with dragon training, and although she couldn't explain it, she felt like there was someone other than Sun who was watching her. Currently, Haley was lying on the floor panting from exhaustion as Sun got up from her meditative position on the floor. "Okay Haley…" Sun said. "You can go home."
Haley got up from the floor and grabbed her backpack before she walked over to the exit. Pushing the door open, Haley felt the cold air brush against her face, and she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she opened her eyes again and started to walk home. As the young dragon was passing by a dark alley, something suddenly caught her attention. Turning her head, Haley could see a dark figure sprinting down the alley.
Narrowing her eyes, Haley called out: "Dragon up!" As soon as her dragon form had appeared, Haley shot down the alley, before stopping at a turn where the person had his or her back to Haley. "Who are you?" Haley demanded as she lowered herself to the ground.
The dark person whirled around, and Haley recognized the Huntsclan mask. Hatred flashed through the Huntsclan member's eyes as he reached from behind and pulled out his staff and Haley's eyes widened as she saw a lethal blast of green plasma coming right for her. With a yelp, Haley ducked and the blast whizzed right passed her and hit a water-pipe on the closest building to her. Her confidence returned, Haley got back up and laughed.
"You missed me, freak!" she declared, but her eyes soon widened as she heard a hissing sound from behind her. Turning around, Haley yelled out as the pipe broke, high-pressured water shooting out towards her. The water smacked into the young dragon, and she was thrown from her feet and towards the Huntsclan member. Haley prepared herself for slamming into him, but the Huntsclan member leapt from his spot on the ground and grabbed hold of the edge of the roof. The clan member then planted his feet on the wall and pushed himself up, continuing off into the night as soon as he got onto the roof.
As soon as the water had died off and stopped assaulting Haley, the young dragon fell to her knees, trying to catch her breath. As soon as she had recovered, she growled and shot up to the roof. As she lowered her feet to the roof, she looked around, disappointed to see that there was no sign of the Huntsclan member. Haley sighed and was just about to start her flight home when she suddenly felt something slam into her; Haley slammed to the ground, unable to get up as something, or someone, held her down.
Haley rolled over onto her back and curled her claws around the arms of the person holding her down. As she looked up to the face of her attacker, she expected to see the Huntsclan mask staring down on her, but Haley was instead surprised to see that her attacker, was a large dragon, actually dressed in clothes, which were all black. Finishing off the dragon's outfit was a large sock, which was pulled over his head, covering his face completely except for two eyeholes that were cut out and a hole cut out so his snout could be seen. He looked absolutely ridiculous.
"Who are you and what…" he started to interrogate, but he stopped mid-sentence when he got a good look at his catch. Getting off of Haley, he stood up and lowered his head. "I am so…", but before he could finish speaking, Haley rammed into him, pinning him down on the roof.
"I think the better question is what you are doing here!" Haley growled. "And by the way, I already know who you are. You're a felon!"
"Felon?" The dragon looked amused. "Miss, please. I am no felon. I am simply doing my job. I am looking after the balance of the world."
"Exactly…" Haley pressed down harder on the dragon. "You're a vigilante…"
"I suppose you could say that…" the dragon smiled. "But if I am, then what does that make you? American Dragon…"
This surprised Haley, so much in fact that she moved away from the masked dragon, allowing him to sit up. "How do you know who I am?" Haley asked.
"What other dragons patrol this neighborhood?" the vigilante dragon asked. "Besides, the American Dragon is the only dragon that I know of that has a slash mark over her eye…"
At these words, Haley turned around and put a claw up to the place where she had been attacked nine years prior. Lowering her claw, Haley turned back around to face the vigilante, a stern look on her face. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't report you to the Dragon Council."
"I wouldn't do that…" the vigilante dragon smiled again. "Do you really think that you can handle all the responsibility? Sure, maybe you could if the Magical World was still a secret to the humans, but it isn't anymore. Things have been bad, and unfortunately, they almost always get worse before they get better…"
"What are you?" Haley demanded. "A psychic or something?"
"No…" the dragon's smile dropped. "Just a dragon that has been around; in my experiences, things have been bad in my time, and they have not gotten any better in twenty years. You're in over your league, kid." As he finished speaking, the dragon lifted off the ground and hovered in the air. "Besides…" he added. "You know nothing about me!"
Haley watched as the dragon flew off into the night, instantly making her mind up on what to do next…
LINE BREAK
Haley barged through the door of Canal Street Electronics, the bell above her ringing out. Still in her dragon form, Haley lowered herself onto the ground and walked over to the back. "Sun?" Haley asked as she walked into the back. "Sun, are you in here?" Still, she got no answer. "Sun?" she tried again. "Sun? Fu Dog? Are either of you here?"
Suddenly, the light turned on, and Haley's heart dropped as she saw the Huntsclan member standing right by the lamp. "Hello, dragon…" he mocked her. "Your filthy master and your filthy magical dog aren't here, but they're safe…"
"Where are they?" Haley demanded, immediately taking a fighting stance.
"I told you, you stupid creature…" the Huntsclan member repeated. "They're safe, and they're waiting for you…"
"How did you find us?"
"Try to be intelligent, you dumb beast…" The Huntsclan member chuckled. "I tricked you. I knew that as soon as I teleported away, you would leave. So, I teleported back to the alley, just as you were leaving mind you, and followed you…here. You dragons really are too predictable. After I led you away from here, I came back here and here we are…"
"Jeez…" Haley rolled her eyes. "I never knew the Huntsclan were bragging types."
The Huntsclan member growled and pulled out his huntstaff from behind his back before he charged at Haley, swinging his staff at her. Haley scowled as she lifted off of the ground and wrapped her claws around his staff, pulling it up and lifting the Huntsclan member off of his feet. The Huntsclan member reacted by hurling his boot into her stomach, making Haley grunt in pain and drop the staff.
As he started to fall to the ground, the Huntsclan member grabbed onto her tail, and as he touched the ground, he pulled her down with him. Haley panicked and tried to flap her wings to get away from the Huntsclan member, but another pull of her tail made Haley realize that her efforts were futile. The Huntsclan member laughed with triumph as he swung her around, letting her go and sending her right into the wall.
Haley slammed to the ground dazed and unable to get up. The next thing she knew, the Huntsclan member was standing above her, his staff, which was now glowing with lethal plasma, was now pointed at her heart. Then, everything went black…
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
"Haley!" Haley started to groan and return to the real world going on around her as she heard a voice calling her name. The voice…it sounded familiar to her. Sun? "KID!" Haley's eyes finally snapped open when she heard another voice, only this time, it belonged to a male. Fu Dog.
Sitting up, Haley groaned as she realized just how sore she was, but she didn't know why. Haley turned her head towards Fu's voice, to see that he was lying on his back, his paws all pulled together and held in place by a green strap. Haley then turned her head in the opposite direction, and she could see Sun, who was sitting beside her, her clawed hands bound behind her back with the same strap, as were her wings. Haley didn't have to be a genius to realize that she was tied up too. Not knowing what else to do, Haley started to look around the room that they were being held in. The walls and the ceiling were all made of metal and there were a couple of weapons on the walls. There was also a large cauldron in the middle of the room, and for some reason, Haley felt like the room was moving…
"Haley…" Sun said quietly. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fi…" Haley started to answer, but before she could finish, she noticed the Huntsclan member slowly approaching them. He had a large, black plastic bag in his hand, which he set down on the ground.
"You three need to shut up…" the Huntsclan member said as he reached into the bag and pulled out a can of salt, which he opened and started to pour it into the cauldron. "The second I am done, I'll finish you three off…"
"Oh yeah?" Haley retorted, struggling against her restraints. "We'll see about that!" However, no matter how hard she tugged, she could not loosen them. The Huntsclan member chuckled as he walked over to her. "You like them?" he asked rhetorically. "They're even more powerful than chains enforced with sphinx hair. There's no way out. I'll slay all of you the second my potion is done…"
Haley watched as the Huntsclan member walked back over to the cauldron. As the Huntsclan member added more ingredients to the cauldron, Haley suddenly got an idea to distract him. "Who are you?" she asked, pretending to be defeated.
The Huntsclan member chuckled as he finished stirring the recipe he was cooking. "And why should I tell you that? Oh, very well…I have not been called anything in fifteen years, but you may call me The Hunter…"
"Really?" Sun asked, realizing Haley's idea. "Well, why don't you tell me something? How is it possible? How can you still be alive? The Huntsclan was destroyed ten years ago."
The Hunter chuckled as he stared into the pot. "Let's just say that I'm special..." He replied. "But now…now I will revive them; then together, we shall destroy the Magical World! Just as soon as this recipe is finished, my people will return and I will undo the act carried out by that treacherous b…"
There was suddenly a sound coming from outside…a sound that sounded like fire. Suddenly, a piece of the wall was blasted from the rest of the wall and it slammed into The Hunter before he even had a chance to finish his disparaging comment about Rose. The Hunter yelped and grunted in pain as he was slammed into the wall in the other side of the room, slumping to the floor with a groan as the steel wall followed him, covering him.
Haley turned her head and saw that the room that she was in was high in the sky as the dragon dressed all in black swooped in. Before Haley could even react, the dragon landed behind her, and she could hear a hissing noise as her restraints fell away. Haley sat up and turned around and could see that in the dragon's claws was a small stick with a red laser coming out. "Watch out!" The Vigilante Dragon suddenly shouted, and the next thing Haley knew, she felt The Hunter leap up onto her back, trying to knock her down.
The Vigilante Dragon growled as he shot up and smacked The Hunter off of Haley with his tail. The next thing Haley knew, the Vigilante Dragon tossed her the laser and landed beside her. "Free your teacher and the dog." He ordered. "I'll take care of this guy…"
Haley found herself behind Sun, using the laser to free her, but as she worked, she found herself watching the vigilante's fight with The Hunter. The Vigilante Dragon threw punch after punch and swipe after swipe, but The Hunter managed to dodge every single one of them. As Haley saw that the Sun's restraints had fallen away, the vigilante was seemingly growing tired. The Hunter let out a victorious shout as he ducked a lazy swipe and grabbed onto the vigilante's arm, delivering a kick to his gut and sending the dragon flying backwards to where he had blown a hole in the wall. The Hunter chuckled as he slowly approached the fallen dragon, pulling out his huntstaff.
"I can see that you are your own trainer, beast…" The Hunter mocked. "I've faced elves and leprechauns that gave more of a fight than you just did. What a pathetic waste of my time…" The Hunter then raised his staff in the air and was about to bring it down on the vigilante when he was suddenly hit by a blast of fire. The Hunter was thrown backwards, but he recovered quickly and turned to face Sun, Haley and a now freed Fu.
"Hey kid…" Fu muttered. "Thanks for freeing my last. I know as an animal sidekick, I'm completely useless…"
"Not now, Fu…" Haley shot back as she flew at The Hunter and started to swipe at him with her tail. The Hunter was able dodge all of her tacks, and he jumped back and aimed his staff right for her chest, the staff starting to glow. Seeing this, Fu Dog started running towards The Hunter, jumping up and biting down on his hand. The Hunter screamed in pain as he pulled the hand that Fu Dog was biting away from his staff. The Hunter started to shake his hand, and with a jerk back, Fu let go, flying over to the cauldron and knocking it over.
"What?" The Hunter stared in disbelief at what just happened before he turned around to face the three dragons that were now approaching. The Hunter grinned from behind his mask. "Well…" he added. "There are other ways to bring them back. This isn't over…"
Haley's eyes widened as she saw that The Hunter was starting to lower his staff to make his getaway. Haley acted fast, and she shot at the Huntsclan member, but it was too late. The staff touched the ground and The Hunter disappeared in a bright orb of green light as Haley hit the floor.
"Aw, I can't believe he got away!" Haley moaned as she got up, reverting to her human form as Fu Dog walked up to her.
"It is okay, Haley." Sun told her. "All that matters is that we are all safe. Good work, Fu Dog…"
The three heroes were suddenly drawn back to the Vigilante Dragon as he cleared his throat. "Yeah…" he muttered. "You are welcome. Did you change your mind yet, kid? Do you still think that you can handle the responsibility alone?"
"Absolutely…" Haley crossed her arms. "It's just one hunter."
"But did you ever consider what could happen if he brought the Huntsclan back?"
"That's not possible…" Sun stated. "The wish was irreversible."
"Well, I hate to be the stereotypical person of indefinite wisdom…" the vigilante stepped back to the hole in the wall he caused. "But don't be too sure about that. He will stop at nothing, and he is a dangerous foe. I advise you to think about your thought process…" Then, the Vigilante Dragon flared his wings, and he was lifted off his feet and he disappeared out the hole.
"I don't like that guy…" Haley muttered.
"Whatever…" Fu blew Haley's statement off. "We need to get off of this thing before it crashes."
Haley's eyes widened when Fu had said this. She had completely forgotten that the place they were in was none other than a Hunts-vehicle, and that there was no one steering it. Haley lifted off her feet and swooped over to Fu, grabbing him as she and her dragon master flew out of the hole in the wall.
LINE BREAK
Only minutes later, Haley, Sun and Fu Dog could see Canal Street Electronics from where they were in the air. Seconds later, all three of them landed in front of the shop, only to gasp at the sight in front of them. The shop had been vandalized: windows were broken and there were spray-paintings all over the walls, with hateful messages such as: "Dragons Stink", "Dragons R Evil" and more.
Sun sighed as she reverted to her human form. "Haley…" she said softly. "Do you mind contacting the council while I clean up the mess?"
"Of course not, Sun." Haley said politely as she pulled open the door of the shop and stepped inside. Reverting to her human form, Haley cringed as she stepped on broken glass and tried to step over the smashed virtual reality helmets.
Finally, Haley made it to the back, only to find that the couch had been torn into. Sighing, Haley sat down on the couch anyway and reached underneath a cushion and pulled out a small, cell-phone shaped communication device. Haley typed in a number before she lowered it slightly as a hologram appeared in front of her.
In the hologram was a man, with short red hair and orange robes, although this could not be seen due to the hologram. The man was about forty-five years of age and he had a few wrinkles. "Councilor Fachtna…" the man said in an Irish accent. "What do you want, American Dragon?"
"Councilor Fachtna…" Haley started. "You are not going to believe this, but I have found a surviving Huntsclan member!"
"Yes, Dragon Long…" Fachtna said in a bored tone. "The Huntsgirl…But do not worry, the second we find her, and your brother, we will deal with them."
"No!" Haley exclaimed. "Not her! Another hunter! Somehow he survived her wish and he's now trying to bring the Huntsclan back!"
"There is no way…" Facthna replied. "I advise you to worry about your duties to the Magical World. Or do you want to end up like your brother?"
Haley's heart sank. "But Councilor…" she tried to explain.
"I don't want to hear anything more on this topic, American Dragon!" Fachtna seemed to be losing his temper. "We have a bigger issue to deal with; in fact, I must leave now in order to meet with one of the world's leaders."
"Councilor Fachtna, please…"
On the other end, Fachtna sighed. "Fine…" he gave in. "You are lucky that I am in a hurry. If you can give me proof that there is a member of the Huntsclan on the loose and that the member is an actual threat, than I just might be willing to do something. Now, I must go."
Haley sighed as the hologram faded and she lowered the device just as Sun entered the room. "Well?" Sun asked her student. "What is the council going to do about our new friend?"
"Nothing…" Haley sat down on the couch.
"What?"
"Not unless we can give them some kind of proof that he is an actual threat." Haley reported. "I guess that means that we have to take him down ourselves…"
Sun sighed as she joined her student on the couch. "Do not worry, Haley." She tried to be optimistic. "I know we can stop him. Remember the old times? Jake was able to always beat the odds, and you are his sister. If he could do it, you can too."
Haley couldn't help but smile. "Thanks, Sun…"
LINE BREAK
Haley exited Canal Street Electronics in her dragon form; she sighed as she looked around her. The council didn't believe that this new foe was a threat, but Haley knew that he was. Haley honestly didn't think it would be all that hard to take The Hunter down, but she still thought it would be nice if she had the council backing her up.
Haley sighed. It looked like she was going to have to do this by herself. Spreading her wings, Haley lifted off of the ground and started to fly home.
BLACKOUT; END OF EPISODE
A/N: So, there it is. What do you think? One thing I need to know, does the plot sound a little bit like Avatar? I'm trying to make it different.
About Haley's personality: she's changed a little bit. She's still a little goody two-shoes, but she's more like a teenager. She's not that much of a little prodigy now that everyone thinks that she's a freak of nature and that has also helped change her personality.
So yeah, the world is not a great place, but as you will see, it is not only humans that are cruel.
So, please review. Please. The second chapter/episode will be up tomorrow. So, if you didn't care for this one, you can always give it a second shot.
