Sorry for the LONG wait. Remember, this story does not go off the show exactly. You will learn later. Disclaimer, I do not own anything from American Dragon: Jake Long. Just my plot and my characters.
Chapter Eight
Marissa snatched her glasses off and walked to the door where Huntsgirl and Huntsmaster were laying on the floor, unconscious. She turned to her Huntshadow and blinked. They were larger and looked more deadly than ever. Other shadow creatures were crawling on the floor, making weird noises. She could tell that they were the lesser ones. "Get them out of here, they will only be in the way later on." Marissa said, watching the smaller shadow creatures crawl to the bodies and lift them up, walking away from her room. A loud roar from below startled Marissa. A devilish smile appeared on her face. She raised her hand, her staff coming straight for her hand. "I'll be back. Wait here. You, come with me." She said, pointing to her Ultimate Reinforcement.
Suldaken laughed manically as his powers were restored. He had broke into a museum and picked up some of his old belongings, which carried most of his powers, but the rest of his powers rested in the amulet that the woman wore around her neck. He dropped down to the first floor, taking some grapes from a cart that said 'Food of the World'. He stuffed them into his mouth and began to walk out of the museum confidently. Men and women in blue uniforms were waiting outside for him, holding large metal things in their hands.
"Freeze! Put your hands up!" A man shouted, walking forward. Suldaken began to laugh at the man's courage. He think he could stop the Great Suldaken, the terror of Egypt.
Suldaken raised his hands and all the people were thrown upwards. He flicked his hands and they went flying eastwards, into the on coming traffic. He stared at his hands then walked away silently, missing his powers.
Jake looked around. Hundreds of dragons already was standing around, flexing thier wings and testing their aim. The Dragon Council had called a Dragon Meeting which required all eligible dragons (anyone who had a master and had passed the trial) to join the Dragon Army. The Huntsmaster that the Huntsclan had brought to life was a Shadow Master and had her plans to kill all the dragons. She supposedly had a Shadow Army ready at her disposal. He had also learned that the Dark Dragon was actually a shadow creature that had life. He was the Huntsmaster Marissa's old experiment which had gone wrong. She had a dragon that was her prisoner and the shadow creature had joined in with the dying creature and began the Dark Dragon. The old dragon had disappeared and when the shadow creature entered the dragon's body, it turned to a baby dragon. She had brought it up into a mature dragon before letting it go. Which meant that Dark Dragon would probably be on Huntsmaster Marissa's side.
So, all the dragons waited patiently for the Dragon Council's approval that they could go in and destroy Marissa and her Shadow Army before she killed anymore dragons.
Marissa made her way back up the basement, please at herself and her job. The spell that she had recited also meant everything powerful that she had killed. Fifteen dragons that she had killed were waiting for her in the basement, only thing was they were zombies, which were happy to do all of her fighting. They looked the same except for the part that their body parts fell off of themselves and that they stink really bad and that they had no eyes. Her Ultimate Reinforcement was dwelling in her staff, keeping its strength up.
As she walked through the practice room, the door opened and a large black dragon walked in to the room. "You're back, Mother!" The Dark Dragon said, rushing over to Marissa. Marissa smiled and kissed the dragon on the forehead. His little minions stood patiently at the doorway. She scratched him on the head before turning to his minions. She waved to them and they hurried to her, wanting to be scratched, since Marissa was the only who would scratch them.
"Master, the Dragon Council has been spotted flying near the roof. What do you want us to do?" A Huntshadow said, coming in there with a quick swish. It wore purple tunic with a purple cape and two twisting horns coming out of its head.
"Put some small shadows on the roof, just to tell them that we're here. I have a feeling that is what they want to know. Then, I want you to gather every shadow creature you can. There is going to be a fight." She said. The Huntshadow bowed respectfully before melting into a dark puddle and slipping to the shadows near the walls.
The Dark Dragon turned to Marissa, his scaly eyebrows up. "Fight?" He asked.
"To kill the rest of the dragons. But don't worry, dear, you're half shadow so they won't even think about hurting you." She told him, motioning for him to follow him.
"I wasn't worried." He said, following his mother up to her room.
"This is the most lowest thing that the Huntsclan has ever done, but it for the best." Huntsmaster said, straightening his outfit. Rose glanced up at him as she fixed her braid. "I want to control the dragons, be their master, not destroy them!" He continued, starting to walk to Central Park. They had found each other lying in a dumpster outside their building.
"So, where are we going?" Huntsgirl asked, coming to Huntsmaster's side.
"To where the dragons are." He answered, pointing to the Central Park. Rose looked over her and gasped. To the untrained magical eye, it would seem as if the park was closed. But to the trained magical eye, dragons were all listening to the Dragon Council. They quickly walked over there, hoping that the dragons wouldn't be dwelling on the past too much. "Hello, all dragons!" Huntsmaster yelled, after they had gotten pretty close to the dragons.
The dragons turned their heads, eyes narrowing and whispers being heard. "We come in peace. There is a fight that is going to break out very soon, we believe. Since it was my mistake of bringing Huntsmaster Marissa to life, we have come to assist you in your army. We have seen the Ultimate Reinforcement... and by the look of it, you're going to need a whole lot more magical creatures than just you guys." He said.
The dragons turned to the Council, all wanting them to make the decision to take the Huntsclan's help. The Dragon Council huddled together, whispering loudly and casting glances at them. As Huntsmaster and Huntsgirl waited, more Huntsclan members joined them. Finally, the Dragon Council broke apart, staring at Huntsmaster. "Okay, we'll accept your help. If you are lying, you will pay the consequences." One of them answered. Huntsmaster nodded, before they all entered pass the barrier. "Now listen up, we want this group of dragons to go and find more magical creatures for our army, while the others refresh their skills." They said. All the dragons nodded and they went off on their orders, some flying and away, while others staying behind and practicing their fighting skills.
Haha! I'm making you wait! To find out what is the Ultimate Reinforcement and the War! I'm so evil. Everyone review quickly and the chapter comes sooner. This is either the third to the last or second to the last. Who knows but the end is coming! Review!
