This ones a bit overdue, isn't it! Well, enjoy this next chapter. Great to be back people!
Jake Long (American Dragon: Jake Long) vs Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
(In the Organization castle, two young boys ran through the halls hastily trying to be somewhere. Both were wearing identical red costumes kind of similar to ninja garments. One was shorter than the other with a head kind of shaped like a pumpkin while the other one was taller and had buck teeth. As they entered the room they were called into, a muscular man wearing the same attire except with a long cape stood before them. On his head was a skull of what looks like a dragon acting as his helmet.)
Huntsman: Numbers 88 and 89! You are late as always!
89: Ack! Sorry! We could've gotten here sooner if HE didn't slow us down!
88: I slowed us down? Who was the one who stuffed his face with corn dogs down at the cafeteria?
89: You were eating them too!
88: Only because that Lunch Lady ghost threatened me to eat them!
Huntsman: SILENCE!
(The two boys shivered in fear as the Huntsman yell nearly shook the whole room.)
Huntsman: Boys. As you all should know, a little revenge is in order here. The American Dragon still breathes to this day. I am sending the two of you back to New York to slay the dragon once and for all.
89: As you say boss. Well take that dragon down so hard that. . .
88: HOLD UP! You're sending us? You never send us on any of those missions alone.
Huntsman: You are not going alone. You see, after the original Huntsgirl betrayed us, I have been searching for a replacement. During our time here in this castle, I have found our new Huntsgirl.
(Entering the room came a teenage girl with black hair wearing her own royal attire. She glared at the two boys who instantly became stricken with fear.)
Huntsman: As of today, you two will be paired up with our newest comrade of the Huntsclan, Princess Azula.
Azula: So I gotta work with these two bozos? You must be kidding.
88: Y-yeah. Couldn't we be paired up with someone a little less. . . .(gulp). . . . .intimidating?
Huntsman: No substitutions! You two and Azula will go to New York and bring me back the hyde of the American Dragon.
Azula: I my world, when a fire-bender slays a dragon, we will be granted a power far exceeding our own.
Huntsman: Then go forth.
(The Huntsman pulls out a small crystal and with it, opens a portal into the world. 88 and 89 run into it but keep pushing each other in the process.)
88: Hey! Hey! Quit shoving!
89: Move your leg you moron!
88: Oh, it's on now!
(Azula just watched the two fighting each other pathetically as they entered through the portal. She frowned bitterly as she followed suit. But the Huntsman stopped her.)
Huntsman: Huntsgirl. You know your father and I have a history together. He has told me everything about your defeat at the palace in your world. Do not disappoint me.
Azula: Stop worrying. Whoever your original Huntsgirl was, she'll be sorry she betrayed us after I'm through with her little "boyfriend".
(Azula continued to enter the portal as the Huntsman just watched as she left.)
Lao Shi: JAKE! LOOK OUT!
Jake: Huh?
(The red dragon named Jake flew as fast as he could to avoid a gigantic arm falling down upon him. The dragon flew away just in time as the fist smashed the ground. Jakes grandfather, Lao Shi watched as Jake flew around the giant troll trying to confuse it.)
Jake: Time to light this baby up!
(Fire flew right out of the dragon mouth hitting the troll on impact. The troll started to catch fire and collapse. Suddenly, a gray wrinkly dog ran out from inside the troll screaming. It turned out the troll was made of wood and other machine parts with the dog controlling it.)
Fu Dog: YOW! What's the matter with you kid?
Lao Shi: I could ask the same thing.
(Lao Shi and Fu Dog glared daggers at the dragon who flew down and suddenly transformed into a boy with spiky black hair, a red jacket, and blue shorts.)
Jake: Yo, chill. I thought this was just a test.
Lao Shi: Which you failed at. Your lesson was to learn how to fight your opponents without the use of dragon fire.
Jake: Uh, I don't think you realize this gramps, but how can I beat enemies without breathing fire on them?
Lao Shi: Jake, it is true, dragon fire is a primary defense when in combat. But it is not our only defense. There will be more challenging battles o fight where even fire wouldn't be enough to defend yourself.
Jake: How am I gonna do that? Aren't you the one who also taught me it would be to risky to attack from up close.
Lao Shi: True. But you have another weapon that will help you in battle. Your wisdom.
Jake: What? You can't be serious.
Fu Dog: I'm afraid I have to agree with the kid here. Have you seen his report cards? Agogogoo.
(A loud noise was suddenly heard outside.)
Jake: What was that?
Lao Shi: Jake, go outside and remember what I taught you.
Jake: Sure thing. DRAGON UP!
(Jake transformed into the American Dragon and flew out the door.)
Lao Shi: Fu Dog. Clean up this mess until Jake come back so we can practice more.
Fu Dog: ME?
(Lao Shi exited the room leaving Fu Dog to clean the destroyed troll robot.)
Fu Dog: Ugh. Why did we build this training room in the first place?
(Out in the New York streets Jake was chasing after a large flying hovercraft being piloted by 88 and 89. The two boys fired lasers at Jake who dodged them all skillfully.)
88: It's not working! Keep hitting him!
89: Hello! That's what I'm trying to do!
88: Well DO harder!
89: You mean TRY harder!
88: Shut up and fire the dang laser you fool!
(Another laser shot out from the hovercraft and hit Jake dead on. The dragon plummeted down in the streets and transformed back into his human form.)
89: HAHAHAHAHA! So long dragon!
(Jake got up and could only watch as 88 and 89 flew away. As he tidied himself up, his best friends Spud and Trixie approached Jake riding their skateboards.)
Trixie: Whoa. Jake, what happened to you?
Spud: Yeah. You look like you've just been zapped by a laser fired by two goofy kids riding on a flying car.
Jake: You could say that. So what are you guys up to?
Trixie: We're headed over to the skate park to hang out. You wanna come?
Spud: Come one dude. It wouldn't be as fun without you.
Jake: Well, sure alright. I'll come with you guys. I was gonna go back to gramps and train some more, but I'm sure I won't miss much.
(Back at the shop, Lao Shi just sat at the counter while Fu Dog brought out the last piece of the robot.)
Fu Dog: (pant pant) Well, here ya go. The training room (pant) is clean again.
Lao Shi: Where is Jake? He said he'd be back for training.
Fu Dog: Probably still chasing after those two bozos flying around town.
Lao Shi: It has been well over thirty minutes now Fu Dog. He might be in danger.
Fu Dog: Or just goofing off.
Lao Shi: Wherever he is, he better be back soon.
Fu Dog: Hey gramps. Looks like we've got a customer.
(Suddenly, a mysterious person entered the shop. She looked like a girl, except she was wearing a jacket with a hood over her face. She walked up to the counter and approached Lao Shi.)
Lao Shi: May I help you?
?: No.
(The womans jacket suddenly burned away revealing herself as Azula. Lao Shi was shocked when he saw the jacket disapper in flames.)
Azula: But you can help yourself!
(Blue fire shot right out of Azulas hands and burned the counter top. Lao Shi ran away from the burning counter in time to face the fire-bending woman.)
Fu Dog: WHOA! What kind of woman is that?
Lao Shi: Precisely what I want to know!
Azula: Hmm. He's not here by any chance, is he? No matter. I guess I'll just have to do away with you then Chinese Dragon.
Lao Shi: How. . .how did. . .
(Before he could finish, another fireball was launched at the two. Fu Dog ran for cover while Lao Shi transformed into a long, blue, snake-like dragon growling at Azula.)
Lao Shi: LEAVE NOW!
Azula: And without collecting a souvenir? Otherwise, what would be the point in visiting New York? I trust you are his grandfather. Then you must know where he is. Where is the American Dragon?
Lao Shi: You will never find him!
(The blue dragon hissed as he lunged at the girl. He was surprised when she did a flip over his entire body and then launched another fireball which also missed and hit the wall. Lao Shi grabbed Azulas leg with his tail and lifted her up in the air where he snarled viscously at her. Azula didn't seem the least bit intimidated when she burned the dragons tail with her blue fireballs. After being let go, Azula then put two of her fingers together and fired a huge lightning bolt at Lao Shi. As the electricity zapped him, the Chinese Dragon fell to the floor knocked out cold reverted back to his human form. Fu Dog having saw the whole thing was dumbfounded by what he just saw.)
Azula: Hahahahaha! Well, that was a good exercise. But mission would mean nothing without a battle with the American Dragon. Deliver a messege for me, will ya? Tell your little student to meet me over by the harbor by ten o'clock tonight, or I will have to find a replacement to skin alive.
(Azula exited the shop leaving Lao Shi and the cowardly Fu Dog inside. As she looked at the shop again, she grinned as she brought her hands together setting to whole building on fire. Inside, Fu Dog got out from under his hiding place to find Lao Shi. As he found him, Fu Dog picked him up and ran through the burning flame to the only exit. As they both got out, Fu could only watch as the shop burned up.)
Fu Dog: Aw, kid. Where did ya go?
(Later that afternoon, Jake, Spud, and Trixie were skating down the sidewalks ready to return home.)
Spud: Jake, that was awesome!
Trixie: Who knew you could do so many flips in midair like that?
Jake: Well, I have been training a lot. AW, MAN! I totally forgot! Gramps is gonna kill me!
Trixie: Yo, chill Jake. Maybe you can come up with a good excuse for being late.
Spud: OH! OH! I got one!
Trixie: Something that doesn't involve flying monkeys!
Spud: Man! How do you do that? It's like you can read my mind or something!
Trixie: Trust me Spud, it's not that hard to know what you're thinking. Okay sometimes it is, but still.
Jake: Guys! This is serious!
Trixie: Okay, how about this. Maybe you could say that you walked into a trap set up by 88 and 89 and tell him you escaped. He'd have to believe that.
Jake: I dunno. Gramps is not so easy to fool.
(Trixie and Spud stopped and gasped at what was in front of them. Jake who was talking with his friends was looking the other way.)
Jake: Hey, what's wrong guys?
Spud: I dunno, but I think you had a barbeque party that went horribly wrong.
Jake: Huh?
(Jake turned aroundand saw that his grandfathers shop was blazing in flames. A couple fire trucks and firemen were there putting out the flames of the building while Fu Dog watched on the sidewalk with an injured Lao Shi. Jake ran over and confronted them.)
Jake: Fu! What happened?
Fu Dog: Kid! Okay, before you go flying off the handle, let me just be the first to say, it wasn't my fault this time.
Spud: You mean this wasn't the result of a barbeque gone awry?
Fu Dog: I don't know what just happened! Everything was going just fine until that woman came inside.
Jake: Woman?
Fu Dog: Yeah. She just walked right into the shop and set the whole place on fire. She even nearly killed gramps here.
Trixie: Yikes. A woman did all that?
Fu Dog: Ayup. And apparently, she knows that you're both dragons. She even said that she's been looking for you.
Jake: She doesn't have to. Because I'm gonna find her! Where is she?
Fu Dog: She said to be at the harbor by ten p.m. otherwise she'll. . .
Jake: Then that's where I have to go!
Lao Shi: J. . .Jake. (cough cough) Don't. . .d. . .do it.
Jake: Why?
Lao Shi: She's too (cough) powerful. She can. . .she can control. . .(cough). . .
Jake: Don't worry gramps. Once I find her, I'll make her pay for what she did.
Lao Shi: Jake! Listen to me!
Jake: Trust me. I'll be right back. DRAGON UP!
(Jake instantly transformed into a dragon and flew off.)
Trixie: Jake, wait up! We're coming with you.
Jake: No! This is my fight.
Lao Shi: Jake! No!
(But he flew off leaving Trixie, Spud, Lao Shi, and Fu Dog behind.)
Fu Dog: Oy. Not a very good listener that kid is. Agogogogoo.
(It was finally ten o'clock and the moon shone down on the harbor. The ships and crates stood there on wooden decks right above the water. Jake had soon arrived and stood on top of one of the crates searching for the woman who burnt his grandfathers shop.)
Jake: Well, it's ten o'clock. Where the heck is she.
(Jake looked around some more and saw two people he didn't expect to see here. Numbers 88 and 89 were walking down the harbor as well. Being sneaky, Jake followed them.)
Jake: 88 and 89? What are they doing here?
(Eventually, Jake followed the two boys to the front of a huge cargo ship where they meet a person standing under the shadow of the ship.)
Jake: There she is. They must be working together this whole time.
(Jake flew down and stood behind the two boys. 88 and 89 turned and saw Jake standing behind them.)
89: ACK! There he is!
88: Run! RUN!
Jake: Hello Huntschumps. Mind introducing me to your new friend there?
(Azula stepped out of the shadow and presented herself to Jake Long.)
Azula: So. You got my message have you? Right on time. I thought for sure I would have to burn down your house if you didn't show, just like I did with your pathetic grandfathers store.
Jake: Keep talking and I'll burn YOU DOWN!
Azula: Hahahahaha! I never knew how easy it was to aggravate you. Very well. Why don't we just get to the part where I introduce myself. I am Azula. How do you do?
Jake: Just fine, thanks. I hear you've been looking for me. But why send those two chumps after me, when you could just take me down yourself? These guys aren't exactly A-plus students.
88: Hey, hey, hey! You're one to talk dragon boy!
89: Uh, yeah. What he said.
(Azula silenced the two boys before continuing her speech.)
Azula: You're not the only one who thinks so. They may be the most incompetent bunch I'v ever been partnered with, but they still get my job done.
Jake: So, why do you want to fight me so bad? I mean, not that I don't blame ya. Who doesn't want a piece of the Am Drag these days?
Azula: I see your informal speech is just as imbecillic as your so called "master". If he couldn't get the better of me, what difference could you possibly make?
Jake: Well you'll just have to find out, 'cause the Am Drag is ready to party!
(Instantly, Jake flew up into the air and prepared to blow fire out of his mouth. But to his surprise, when Azula raised her hand, the fire in Jakes mouth went right back in. Smoke came right out as Jake started coughing up like crazy.)
Jake: Aw, man! Talk about serious heartburn. How did you do that?
Azula: Aw. Were you surprised. I had assumed you little "master" had told you that I am a fire-bender. Hmph. But of course you didn't know. How many kids respect there elders these days?
Jake: (cough cough) Fire-bender? So that's what gramps had been trying to tell me.
(Jake flew behind Azula and another stream of fire came out of Jakes mouth. Azula turned quickly and miraculously stopped the fire dead in its tracks.)
Jake: Say what now?
(Using her bending, Azula took Jakes fire and threw it back at him. Jake was hit as he fell on the wood floor.)
Azula: Well, this is fun. Let's wrap this up quick before we both miss our curfew. At least, YOU will have a good excuse.
(Blue fireballs formed in both of Azulas hands as she walked over to Jake who was struggling to regain his footing.)
Jake: It's no use. She'll just send the fire right back at me if I breathe on her again. Gramps is right. I should use my wits to defeat her.
(Jake flew up again, but this time, he flew after Azula with his claws outstretched. But just as he came within and inch closer, she somersaulted right onto a box of crates. Jake flew up after her to try to knock her off ther crates, but she was ready for him. As Jake flew up to the top, Azula kicked the dragon right in the chest sending him hurtling into another pile of crates which collapsed on top of him. Azula came down to the pile to investigate.)
Azula: Well, that was simple enough.
(But Jake suddenly flew out from the crate pile and glared down on the fire princess.)
Jake: Guess again beautiful. I'm just getting warmed up.
Azula: So am I.
(Jake flew down to throw a heavy punch on Azula. But what he didn't know was that she was preparing a lightning attack to strike Jake when he comes within range.)
Azula: That's right. Just a little closer.
(As Jake came withing range, Azula outstretched her hand and fired the lightning bolt. However. . .)
Spud: JAKE! LOOK OUT!
(. . .both Spud and Trixie jumped the fire princess and the lightning bolt just barely passed right by Jake.)
Jake: Spud? Trixie? What are you doing here?
(Unfortunately, Jakes friends couldn't hold down Azula for long as she pushed Trixie aside and grabbed Spud by his shirt collar. She aimed her fingers at Spuds face preparing a quick lightning bolt attack.)
Trixie: Spud!
Azula: Well now, it's too bad your friends had to be involved in this. Now I have just the perfect leverage over you.
Jake: Let him go! He didn't do anything!
Azula: I intend to let him go, if you come back with me. Failure to cooperate will result in you friend being cooked alive.
Spud: Hmm. A baked Spud. I wonder what I'd taste like.
Jake: No deal!
Azula: Hmph. It's your call.
(The lightning on Azulas fingers sparked in intensity as they prepared to fire.)
Spud: JAKE!
Jake: NOOOO!
(However, Jake flew as fast as he could and push Spud right out of Azulas grasp. But as a result, the lightning hit Jake dead on in the stomach.)
Trixie: JAKE!
Spud: OH, THE HARD-TO-NOT-AT-HORROR!
(Azula stood over the smoking body of Jake satisfied with herself.)
Azula: Well now. I knew he'd listen to reason. Number 88! Number 89! Let's bring this dragon back with us.
88: What about those two.
Azula: We shall deal with them later. Right now, we have a dragon to deliver.
89: Yeah. Let's go lazybones.
88: Kissup.
(The fire princess grabbed Jake by the throat as she pulled out her crystal and opened a portal where she, 88, and 89 walked through. Trixie and Spud tried to stop them but were too late as the portal had closed.)
Spud: NOOOOOO! JAKE! Why did he have to do that for me? YOU EVIL YET REALLY HOT SHE-WITCH! YOU COULD'VE TAKEN ME INSTEAD!
Trixie: This isn't happening! This can't be happening!
(As Spud and Trixie continue crying over their lost friend, someone unexpected flew up behind them.)
Jake: Yo, Spud! Trixie! I'm alright!
(Trixie and Spud turn around as Jake was apparently behind them completely uninjured.)
Spud: AUGH! GHOST DRAGON! Or is it really you?
Trixie: JAKE! Wait? What the heck just happened? We totally saw you get taken through that portal by that crazy woman!
Spud: Two Jakes? Ow. Brain! On the fritz!
Jake: Yo, it's amazing how useful a chi doppelganger can really be.
Trixie: You mean the Jake that got totally sizzled was. . .
Jake: That's right.
(As Jake stood there, a cloud of smoke arose from the dragons head and an exact copy of Jake was standing right beside him.)
Spud: Cooool. Hahahaha! Hooray for the doppelganger gang!
Jake: Well, I suppose that takes care of Azula for now.
Trixie: Hopefully. I'd rather steer clear of being roast on a fireplace.
Spud: Same here. Though, I wonder how mad she'll be when she finds out it wasn't really you who she killed?
(The conversation was cut short when a burst of blue fire seperated them setting the dock ablaze.)
Jake: Pretty mad it sounds like.
Trixie: Come on Spud! Let's get out of here!
Spud: But want to see the fight!
Trixie: You won't get to see it if you're burnt to a crisp!
(Spud and Trixie ran away as the entire dock was engulfed in fire. Jake flew up to the skies to find Azula. Sure enough, he finds her stand on the bow of the giant cargo ship with her hands blazing in fury.)
Azula: I never would've guessed you'd be so crafty American Dragon.
Jake: And I didn't think you'd be such a sore loser.
Azula: Not sore, just annoyed. It's one thing when you have to shout out lame banters, but by tricking me with your ghostly double, I'd say you've hurt my feelings. Hasn't your grandfather ever told you to respect women?
Jake: Yes. Just not homicidal fire-bending women who try to kill off my friends just to get at me.
Azula: Well then, let me reeducate you!
(Azula quickly jumped off of the bow of the ship and came in for a quick kick to Jakes stomach who dodged just in time. Azula landed on another ship and threw her fireballs at the oncomming dragon. Meanwhile, as Trixie and Spud watched the fight, Fu Dog and Lao Shi arrive.)
Spud: I don't know what's hotter. The fire, or that girl who's constantly throwing them out of midair.
Lao Shi: Where's Jake?
Trixie: Out fighting that fire woman.
Fu Dog: Oh, no! How's he doing?
Spud: Well we thought he had been slain earlier, but it turned out to be just a doppelganger.
Lao Shi: Jake? And how is this battle going?
Trixie: It's hard to tell. Jake hasn't been using any of his fire breathing.
Lao Shi: He hasn't?
Fu Dog: Well good for him. That girl could've given him some serious heartburn if he even tried.
(They continued wathcing the fight and the harbor was already blazing in the heat of the battle.)
Fu Dog: Say. The kids not doing half-bad.
Spud: Alright Jake! He's gonna win!
Lao Shi: Don't be so decisive yet. Jake still has to find a way to beat her for good. Let's hope he has learned everything I taught him.
(As the battle progressed, Jake and Azula were both nearly out of breath. Both were smoking as the fire around them intesified.)
Jake: Had enough? You can't stop the Am Drag.
Azula: Will you cease with your irritating patter already?
(Azula was now charging up her lightning attack as Jake tried to figure out a way to stop her.)
Jake: This is getting out of hand. I better find a way to beat her fast. Hmm. Well we're on top of a dock and the water is right beneath us. Fire and water don't mix. I'll bet the same will work on Azula.
Azula: So long American Dragon!
(The lightning bolt fired. But being swift on his feet, Jake flew up into the air and then divebombed right through the floor.)
Azula: What? Where did he go?
(Azula ran over to the holw in the dock and looked down. Jake wasn't there. Suddenly, the dock began to shake as Azula nearly lost control of her footing. Underneath the dock, Jake scartched visciously at the wooden beams supporting the dock. As he destroyed both of the front beams, The whole dock started to collapse. Azula ran over to the other side, but Jake Long suddenly burst through the floor glaring at the fire princess. With one quick slap from his tail, Azula flew right into the water and sunk. Jake flew over to see if she survived, but aside from the loud crackling of the fire, the whole sea seemed eerily quiet. As Jake flew back to his friends, Spud, Trixie, and Fu Dog glomp hugged him and cheered for his victory. Jake transformed back to human as he then confronted his grandfather.)
Jake: Gramps. I'm. . .
Lao Shi: All is forgiven young one. I have taught you well.
Fu Dog: It doesn't look like she will be bothering us again.
Jake: Azula? I'm not sure. I mean, I know I saw her sink to the bottom of the sea. But, how can we be really sure she's gone?
Trixie: Jakie, how can anybody survive being thrown into the water and not come back out afterwards?
Spud: Maybe if she were a fish mutant, she would.
Jake: Still, I have this weird feeling that. . . .she still here.
Lao Shi: Come Jake. Let's go home.
Trixie: And I guess we should probably get home too. Our parents are probably worried about us.
Spud: Maybe we can come up with a good excuse as to why we're late. How about "Flying monkeys took us captive!"
(Trixie laughed as she and Spud walked back home. Jake, Lao Shi, and Fu Dog also walked back home. However, Jake may have been right. Watching them leave, the Huntsman stood on top of a pile of crates. And beside him was his new Huntsgirl, Azula.)
(The next day, Jake, Lao Shi, and Fu Dog stand in front of their newly refurbished shop.)
Jake: Whew. That was a lot of work.
Fu Dog: You're telling me. Now I can finally relax.
Lao Shi: Not quite Fu Dog.
Fu Dog: Eh?
Lao Shi: Since out newly built training room was destroyed in the fire, you shall be helping to rebuild a new one.
Fu Dog: What? Aw, man! Agogogogooo.
(The three went inside and continue their training for future challanges ahead.)
Well, that's about it. What do ya think? Don't forget to leave your reviews.
