Chapter 4: Great Power, Great Responsibility
Jake lays there on the ground with no heart beat and no breathing but in his head are struggles. In Jakes mind, he is struggling to keep going. 'Come on Jake, don't give up. I have to keep going for the sake of your family. I can't lose Rose again, I can't let my children down, I just can't do it. I have to keep going, I have to save Rose." Then with a startle he woke up wide eyed and breathing hard.
Lao Shi had been called to the school and arrived shortly after with Haley. A few minutes after he had arrived Jake had woken up and everyone in the room looked in shock as Jake woke up after having absolutely no heart beat. Even Lao Shi is startled by this but none the less, his friends and family are happy to have Jake alive. Then Jake had started speaking but it didn't sound like Jake. "Everyone, I am known as the Dragon of Love or the Ultimate Dragon but either way, Jake is alive and well as long as he keeps the love in his heart."
"Jake can love no doubt about that but not even he has love all the time." Haley said trying to figure out everything.
"Haley, Jake may not be the most responsible, no doubt about that but he has more love for people then most do. When it comes down to it, Jake has more love then he realizes. It is a long story so I will make it short. Whatever you do, you must keep Jake from having hate in his heart at all, even for his enemy's. If he isn't careful, he could become as bad as the Dark Dragon. Let me let you in on a story that must be told.
"I was alive since before the era of dragons and I made the dragon. I created two types of dragons, regular and white. The regular dragons had the responsibility of protecting the magical world as you know already and the White Dragons had the responsibility of protecting the human and magical world. So because of the big responsibility, I had made fewer White Dragons then regular. The power of the dragon is still unknown to all except me. Sadly dragons have the choice on whom and what they want to be. So when the Dark Dragon came into being, he had made choices that had corrupted him. I have weaknesses as well and one of them is hatred or in other words, people that I give my power to are very easily corrupted by hatred. Once that happens, they become dark and almost undefeatable which is something that I had thought of before it happened. If a dragon becomes dark, the only ones that can defeat them are the White Dragons. That is the reason for their resurrection ability. Once a dragon becomes dark, I can no longer be with them unless they are willing to give up that hatred. Sadly though, the darker they become the harder it is for them return to the way they were."
"That is why you must help him from hating people for at least one month. I have two ways of disappearing temporarily though. I must meditate for many days as soon as Jake returns to his normal self. I have to regain my strength so sleeping is also necessary. If Jake were to say, be stabbed while he is asleep, I will disappear and Jake will be fine. I will be used as a shield but the more I disappear, the longer it will take to fully recover. You must keep him safe which means no dragon training, since he will be weak. I must go now but remember what I have said." With that said, he left and Jake fell to the ground from being weak.
"Jake, I am so happy that you're ok." Susan said to her son as she hugged him tightly.
Jake looked up and smiled at his mom who was crying tears of joy. "Hey mom, where is Rose?" Susan looked down in sadness and told Jake that she was taken by the hunts clan. Jake then remembered what had happened and he grew furious. "I will personally kill them. They will not get away with murder and kidnapping." Everyone tried to calm Jake down but he is to mad to listen to them. Jake stood up, flew out of the building and to his gramps shop. Once he arrived at the shop, he broke the front door down and headed to the back room. Fu saw this and told Jake that he needed to calm down but Jake wouldn't listen and he pushed Fu into a wall. Jake looked up some things on the computer and then stormed out of the building and into his Gramps who just arrived. Jake pushed him out of the way. "Watch it gramps, I don't have the time."
When Jake started to fly off, Lao Shi grabbed his arm. "Jake, you must calm down; the last thing you need to be is careless and distracted. Calm Down and we will both get Rose back." Lao Shi tried to reason but Jake wouldn't listen.
"Get out of my way Gramps, I don't need you." Jake said as he ripped his arm away from Lao Shi's hand but was then greeted by his parents.
"Jake, please, calm down and listen. We will save Rose but you must calm down." Susan said to her son.
"Will you shut up already people; I have to save Rose before it's too late." Then Jake saw Trixie and Spud and quickly flew off before they tried to tell him to calm down. Everyone then realized how hard it would be to keep Jake calm when someone he loves is in danger but they knew they had to try so that Jake wouldn't become the next Dark Dragon. They are fearful that they may fail but also hopeful that Rose may knock some sense into him. They know that if Rose can't, nobody will be able to except Jake and if it is hard to change, then everyone may be in trouble.
