The Truth About the Formula
The Longs are on their way to the station that hides an access to the Island of Draco when Jake's cell phone rings.
"Hello, Rose." Jake answers.
"Jake, the Huntsmaster caught a sample of the formula Kim Possible utilized to dissolve your copies." Rose says from the other side of the line.
"What?" Jake replies, getting the attention of everyone in the car.
"The weird part is that Kim's sidekick, Ron Stoppable, claims that the formula only dissolves clones but my master believes it to be a trick to keep us from using it since Kim doesn't share his hatred of dragons."
"Didn't he try to force her into the team?"
"Because Kim already saves the humanity on a regular basis the Huntsmaster decided to leave her alone." She then notices somebody approaching. "I gotta go. Bye."
"What did Rose want, Jake?" Lao Shi asks.
"Bad news, guys." Jake replies. "The Huntsclan has a sample of Kim's formula."
"Wait a minute." Susan says. "How can she know that much about the Huntsclan?"
"Didn't Jake tell you, Mom?" Haley asks. "Rose is the Huntsgirl."
"No time for jokes, Haley." Susan replies, not believing Jake would date someone whose clan is a sworn enemy of the dragon order.
"Susan, I know it's hard to believe but Haley is telling the truth." Lao Shi calmly replies.
"And you knew it all that time?" Susan angrily replies. "Why didn't you warn me? Why don't you tell Jake not to see her again?"
"Susan, I trust Rose." Lao Shi replies.
"Honeatly, Susan." Jonathan comments. "You remind me of your Dad back in our teenage days."
"What?" Both Susan and Lao Shi ask.
"He was totally angry at you for dating me." Jonathan answers. "And he was wrong if he thought I couldn't hear him from the other side of the wall when he called you for a private conversation after you introduced me to him."
"Were you eavesdropping on that conversation?" Lao Shi asks, a little angry.
"How could I not to do it?" Jonathan asks in reply. "You were so loud you were lucky to be vague otherwise I'd have known the truth even before that day Jake chose to interfere with our past."
"I am not that loud." Lao Shi replies.
"Oh yes, you are." Jake replies and earns an angry glare from Lao Shi.
LINE BREAK – Middleton
James and Anne Possible get back home after solving a tweeb-related incident involving Officer Hobble's car. Kim and Ron tell them about the Huntsclan's 'visit'.
"Oh, Kimmie." Mrs. Dr. Possible says. "It must have been so scary."
"No big." Kim replies. "My only worry is how they may react when they learn that what they expect to able to dissolve dragons is only soda."
"Don't worry, Kimmy-cub." Dr. James Possible says. "We won't let them take you."
"I don't get it." Jim comments. "Why didn't you join them? Think about all those dragons you could be slaying."
"Yeah." Tim adds. "Talking about that, why didn't you slay that Jake Long? Isn't he a dragon?"
"Dragons don't exist." Kim angrily replies. "And even if they did I wouldn't slay Jake Long only for being one of them."
"Kim is right, boys." Dr. James Possible says. "It isn't right to kill someone only because they're different. Even if it's such an unusual difference like fire-breathing."
"Actually, according to our research, this ability isn't common to all dragons." Jim replies.
"Exactly." Tim adds. "Some are ice-breathing creatures. There are even reports of dragons being able to shoot lightning from their mouths."
"Which brand of cereal box you got this from, tweebs?" Kim asks with disdain.
"None." Jim and Tim reply.
"We read it from Sigmund Brock's book." Jim explains.
"Oh, yeah." Ron comments. "He said dragons are responsible for the balance of the magical world due to their ability to pose as normal human beings."
LINE BREAK – Island of Draco
The Longs just leave the elevator.
"Next time remind me not to eat before coming here." Jonathan comments.
"This is not more disgusting than our boy dating a Huntsgirl." Susan replies.
"Mom, Rose isn't that bad." Jake says, upset his Mom can't accept their relationship.
"Jake, she's been trying to slay you since last year." Susan says.
"Actually it stopped when I revealed my secret to her." Jake says.
"Did you willingly tell your identity to a Slayer?" Susan angrily asks.
"Hey, believing her feelings for me are stronger than her hatred against our kind was my only hope of not being slain during the Great Equinox Hunt." Jake explains.
"We don't have time for this." Lao Shi says. "We must see the Dragon Council."
They enter the Council room, where Lao Shi briefs the Councillors on what Rose has just told.
"Dragons of the world, this case is worst than we thought." Councillor Kulde announces. "As all of us already know, Kim Possible, known as a hero among the humans, somehow managed to develop a formula capable to dissolve dragons. Now, as I was recently informed by Lao Shi, the Huntsgirl, who allegedly became a double agent working on our side because of the American Dragon, claims that the Huntsclan has a sample of that formula."
The dragons can't help but show their worries upon hearing this.
"I understand your worries but it's important that you listen to the rest of Huntsgirl's reports." Councillor Kulde speaks again. "According to her, Kim Possible refused to join the Huntsclan, an act the Huntsman accepted, and her sidekick claims her formula only dissolves clones. The Huntsman doesn't believe that and, honestly, I don't trust the Huntsgirl enough to be sure she isn't a triple agent trying to trick us into thinking the formula is harmless so it'd be easier to slay us."
Jake frowns at this.
"To se sure if the Huntsgirl is telling the truth or not, someone must spy at Kim's to find the formula so we could analyze it." Councillor Andam says. "Any volunteers?"
"I will." Jonathan raises his hand.
"We're grateful, Mr. Long." Councillor Kulkulkhan replies. "But we have no idea of the effects of this formula in humans. We'll only let you go if no dragon volunteers to do so."
"I will." Jake says. "I believe Rose is telling the truth."
"American Dragon, even if we could trust her, and I'm not saying we can, there's still the possibility the Huntsman is right about Kim Possible having just made up that clone story to keep him from using the formula." Councillor Andam replies. "Despite this are you still willing to take the risk?"
"Yes." Jake humbly replies.
"In that case, we'll redirect the magic elevator to Middleton so you and Fu Dog will go directly from here to there to investigate." Councillor Kulde says. "If none of you sends news within the next three hours, we'll send a rescue team."
Jake nods.
LINE BREAK – The Huntslair
"Have you finished the analysis?" The Huntsmaster asks.
"Yes." A Hunts-cientist answers. "The sample you brought me is from a soda that could be obtained at any Bueno Nacho franchise."
"She tricked us!" The Huntsmaster exclaims. "Let's get back at there." He then tries to teleport himself back to Middleton but it fails. "What's wrong now?"
Middleton
The Kimmunicator beeps. "Kim, the Huntsclan tried to teleport back to your house but my system stopped them."
"Thank you, Wade." Kim replies. "Did you tell the Global Justice about the Huntsclan base's location?"
"Yes, Kim." Wade answers. "The Huntsclan won't see it coming."
Meanwhile, Jake and Fu sneak their way into the Possible household. They enter the tweebs' bedroom.
"Fu, what's with all of this hi-tech?" Jake asks. "Does Kim develop her weapons here?"
"I don't think so, kid." Fu answers. "This room seems to belong to her brothers."
"Wow, a talking dog." They hear a voice and turn their eyes to the door to see Jim and Tim.
"What are you doing here?" Jake asks.
"We should be the ones making this question." Jim replies.
"Yeah." Tim adds. "You're in our room."
"Oh, yeah, your room, you know, there's a good reason for me to be in your room." Jake sheepishly tries to explain.
"Hey, spiky hair, invading our home after Kim goes on a dragon-related mission, you're the dragon Drakken made clones of back in New York!" Jim accuses. "Let's get him, Tim."
"And how do you hope to catch me?" Jake asks in mockery. A question he soon regrets making as the tweebs lock him and Fu Dog inside a force field like the one they keep Ron in when he objected to them becoming the Pep Puppies.
"Boys." James Possible yells from the living room. "Did you activate the contention field again?"
"We had to." Jim replies.
"That dragon came from New York to invade our room." Tim adds.
"Tweebs, how many times do I have to tell you that dragons don't exist?" Kim asks as she goes to their room to check for this 'dragon'. "Jake Long?"
"Is he that boy whose father called you for help, Kim?" Dr. James Possible asks.
"Yes, Dad." She answers. "But I have no idea of what he's doing here."
"Isn't that obvious, Kim?" Ron asks. "Because he doesn't know all it takes to dissolve a clone created by Drakken is soda, he thinks we have some sort of dragon-dissolving formula so he needed to be sure we wouldn't use it to destroy him and his fellow dragons."
Jake stares in shock. All of this trouble because of a soda?
"Ron, dragons don't exist." Kim replies.
"Dragon or not, this boy owes us an explanation." Dr. James Possible says with a demanding tone.
"Fine, but do you promise you won't freak out or try to kill me before hearing it all?" Jake sadly asks.
Ron and the Possibles nod in agreement. Jake then makes some blue smoke appear around him, replacing him with a red dragon that easily brakes free from the force field.
How will the Possibles and Ron react? Will they have to fight the Dragon Council? Please review.
