"A backup plan, master?" The Huntsgirl asks.

"Yes, Huntsgirl." The Huntsmaster answers. "It was something I always wanted to do but I never got a chance until you came up with that plan of yours."

"And which plan is that, Huntsmaster?" 89 asks with whatever bit of courage he managed to gather.

LINE BREAK – Jake's Home

"Haley!" Susan happily exclaims as she runs to hug her daughter. "How are you? Did those slayers hurt you much?"

"I was so scared, Mom." Haley answers. "Specially when I found out who the Huntsgirl is."

"Don't worry, Haley." Susan reassures her daughter. "Once your father gets back from his business trip we'll move away and take all needed precautions so that slayer will never find any of us."

"Mom, that's not necessary." Jake replies. "Rose is on our side."

"Jacob Luke Long, dragonslayers can't be trusted." Susan says. "I don't know what she's planning but it stops now before she has another chance to betray us."

"Mom, you know about the Cupid arrow thing." Jake moans. "You know she really loves me."

"It doesn't change the fact she might love the Huntsclan more." Susan replies. "She might be leading the Huntsclan to us right now."

"Mom, she' never..." Jake replies until he notices a green ball of light. "lead... the..."

Suddenly the Huntsmaster, the Huntsgirl, 88, 89 and two other slayers are in the Long living room. "So, that's the American Dragon's home?" The Huntsmaster asks, disdainfully. "At first look I'd never say there's a family of filthy creatures living here."

"I know." 89 comments while picking a photograph of Jake's Dad. "I'd never tell this geek is a dragon."

The Huntsmaster takes a look at the picture and recognition suddenly hits him. "That's because he's NOT a dragon." He furiously replies.

"Master, how are you so sure?" The Huntsgirl asks, confused.

"My first assignment as a member of the Huntsclan was capturing a teenage boy who had found out his girlfriend was a dragon so he'd reveal the dragon's identity." The Huntsmaster explains. "It's been two decades since I last saw him but I recognize him. I should have ordered an investigation about him as soon as I ascended as Huntsmaster."

While this conversation took place, the dragons took their dragon forms and were just watching.

"No more time to talk." The Huntsmaster announces. "Attack."

The two unknown slayers quickly blast Sun Park so she won't harm them with her light again. Lao Shi advances against the Huntsmaster while Haley angrily faces the Huntsgirl. "This is your fault, Huntsgirl." Haley accuses and then tries to hit Huntsgirl with her tail but the Huntsgirl dodges and, to save face in front of her fellow slayers, she swings her Huntstaff at Haley. Jake surprises the two other slayers by using his tail to smash a table at them. It doesn't knock them down (after seeing the Huntsmaster's strength at 'Homecoming', it's not so farfetched) but distracts them long enough so he can use his tail to grab one of them and throw him at the other one. After that, he helps his grandfather against the Huntsmaster. Deciding her cover is no longer important, Rose stuns the Huntsmaster. Realizing the dragons now have the upper hand, 88, 89 and the other two slayers try to flee but are quickly captured.

"Six captured slayers in one night?" Haley asks. "It's a record."

"Six?" Jake asks, confused.

"Of course, Jake." Susan replies. "The Huntsgirl also counts. It's obvious she betrayed our secret otherwise the Huntsclan wouldn't know where we live."

"Mom, I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this." Jake pleads for his girlfriend.

"Jake, you must accept..." Susan replies until her father interrupts her. "Let's hear her out, Susan."

"Fine." Susan angrily replies. "Let's hear more lies."

"Rose, how did the Huntsclan found us?" Lao Shi asks.

"After you guys had rescued Haley, the Huntsmaster told me he had placed a transmissor on her without her noticing it." Rose explains.

"Come on, you're not falling for this, are you?" Haley asks.

"It's right behind your left ear, Haley." Rose explains. "I'll show it."

"No!" Haley yells. "You know it's a weak point of us dragons and that you can easily kill me."

"Fine, I'll look for it." Jake moans. He then looks and finds the transmissor. "It's here. But how to remove it, Rose?"

"The Huntsmaster has a device for it." Rose replies and picks it from his pocket. "But he said it's painful."

"Rose, what's it gonna do with Haley?" Jake asks, worried.

"Well, he said he intended to remove it and show Haley so she'd be tortured with the knowledge she'd be responsible for her family's death." Rose explains.

"You won't get this thing anywhere near me, you slayer." Haley demands.

"Haley, as long as you're with this, the Huntsclan could find you wherever you go." Lao Shi explains.

"Fine." Haley sadly replies and then talks to Jake. "But if it kills me I'll be back to take both you and your girlfriend."

"Take only her, Haley." Susan replies.

Rose then removes the transmissor and Haley is alright. "You got luck, slayer."

"Well, Rose." Lao Shi replies. "It's time for you to face the Dragon Council since you can no longer return to the Huntsclan."

"Gramps, none of the others can return to accuse her." Jake replies.

"Exactly." Lao Shi comments. "What would she tell the remaining slayers to explain how she 'escaped' from us and how would she convince them she doesn't know our identities?"

The more Rose hates to admit, she has no choice but either return to the Huntsclan and face punishment for treason or face the Dragon Council and depend on the mercy of creatures she was raised to see as enemies.

"Rose, if you're afraid of what the Dragon Council will do to you we can hide you somewhere." Jake whispers.

"No, Jake." Rose sadly replies. "It's time I accept my fate."

"Well, maybe they'll forgive you after all you did for us." Jake comments.

"If they don't, I'd like to ask you something, Jake." Rose replies.

"Sure, Rose. What's it?"

"If they throw me at some prison or do something else that keeps us from being together, try to forget me and get yourself a new girlfriend." Rose asks.

"Please, don't ask it, Rose." Jake replies.

I am disappointed at myself. When I first started working at this fic, I expected it not to reach a point where Rose's cover would be blown. I expected to be just a fic focused at Haley learning Rose is Huntsgirl and refusing to trust her. Please review anyway.
