American Dragon: Haley Long (Season Two)
Chapter/Episode 10: A Dragon Shaken
Inside the Long house, Jonathan Long stood at the wall, looking at the thermostat while Haley sat on the couch, shivering. "Well, it looks like the thermostat is broken..." Jonathan said, turning away from the wall and walking over to where his daughter was. Sitting down next to her, he added: "It's going to be okay..."
"It's cold, dad..." Haley replied.
"I can make you some hot chocolate..." Susan Long had just come down the stairs, and she heard her daughter complain. "Would you like that, honey?"
"Sure..." Haley replied, shivering again.
Susan nodded, and she quickly walked into the kitchen. Waiting, Haley wrapped her arms around her side, trying to keep herself warm. Moments later, Susan came out of the kitchen, carrying a mug that had steam coming out of it. "Here you go, Haley..." Susan said as she reached Haley. Susan was about to hand the mug to her daughter, but before she could, Susan yelped, and she fell to her knees, dropping the mug to the floor as she grabbed the couch for support.
At first, Haley did not know why, but she soon found out as she yelped, being thrown off of the couch and onto her knees after there was a large jolt. Lifting her head up, Haley could see that the entire house was shaking, items on shelves were being projected from their places, falling onto the floor. As the shaking continued, Haley tried to sit back up, but she found that the shaking was too strong. However, just as Haley felt like she was about to be thrown onto her side, the shaking stopped.
Panting, Haley pushed herself up into a sitting position, and she looked around, looking at all of the damage. "Haley!" Haley nearly jumped as she heard her mother's panicked voice as she put her hand on Haley's shoulder. "Haley, are you okay?" Susan asked.
"I'm fine..." Haley said quickly, nodding.
"Wow, that was some earthquake..." Jonathan whistled as Haley slowly stood up.
"Yeah..." Haley agreed, before she turned and started to walk over to the front door.
"Haley, where are you going?" Susan asked.
"I'm going to the shop..." Haley told her parents as she opened the door. "...I'm going to make sure that Sun and Fu Dog are okay..." Then, she walked out, closing the door behind her.
BLACKOUT; PLAY THEME SONG
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Haley put her hands in her pockets as she walked along the sidewalk. Looking out into the street, she could see police officers and paramedics with home owners, making sure that everyone was okay. As she looked down at the pavement that she was walking on, Haley could see that there were several cracks. "Boy..." Haley muttered to herself.
LINE BREAK
Canal Street Electronics had been hit hard, and when Haley arrived at the shop, she let out a loud gasp. The windows had been shattered, and the roof had caved in. "Sun! Fu!" Haley shouted, and she found herself, running to the door, which had fallen down. "Sun!" Haley shouted again, and as she ran through the door frame, she could see that there were piles of wood all over the floor; Fu and Sun were nowhere to be seen.
"Oh, God..." Haley could feel her heart sinking as she walked into the room. "Sun? Fu? Are you guys okay?" As she walked further into the room, she looked around, not knowing what to expect. However, as she took another step into the room, Haley froze as she heard a rustling sound. Turning around, Haley could see a nose under the piles of wood. "Fu, is that you?" Haley asked as she walked over to the nose. As she kneeled down in front of it, she could hear as mumbling sound, and Haley knew that it was Fu.
"Don't worry, Fu..." Haley told him. "...I'll get you out in a jiffy! Tail of the dragon!" In a bright pink light, Haley's dragon tail appeared, and she reached into the pile, and a moment later, she pulled out Fu. Setting him down, Haley's tail faded away, and she slowly stood up. "Fu, do you know where Sun is?"
"Gee, I'm glad to know that you're happy I'm fine, kid!" Fu growled at her, but then his face softened. "No. I have no idea where she would be. She was in the back. Hopefully, she's perfectly fine..."
"Well, we're going to find out..." Haley told him, turning and heading over to the back room. With Fu at her side, Haley looked into the back room, only to gasp; it had not taken long to find Sun. The Korean Dragon was lying on the couch, a beam from the ceiling had fallen down and had landed on her chest.
"Sun!" Haley gasped.
LINE BREAK
On the Island Of Draco, both Haley and Fu Dog stood in the infirmary as Fred Nerk stood over Sun, who was standing over Sun, who was lying on a bed. Fred sighed as he stepped away from Sun, turning to face Haley and Fu. "Well?" Fu asked. "Is she going to be okay?"
"Oh, she'll be fine, mate..." Nerk told them. "...She just needs to rest. She has several broken ribs. Unfortunately, I cannot be certain how long it will take Master Park to heal. Only time will tell..."
As soon as Nerk said this, the door opened, and Haley turned around to see that Councilor Fachtna had entered the room. "Dragon Long..." He greeted her, giving her a curt nod. "...With the unfortunate injuries Dragon Park has sustained, we will need to assign you a new master..."
"Again?" Haley asked. "Look...I don't know if you know about this, but the last time that the Dragon Council got me a new master..."
"Do not worry, Dragon Long..." Fachtna smiled slightly. "...I can promise you that I will not make the same mistake. The Council has already voted on who your new Dragon Master will be. You already know her, but I'll let you...meet her..."
After saying this, Fachtna stepped out of the way, and to Haley's surprise, Councilor Ulixes entered the room with a big grin on her face...
LINE BREAK
"Alright, class..." Rayner stood in front of his college class the next morning. Walking over to his desk, Rayner sat down, sighing as he put his feet on his desk as he sat back in his chair. "...While I hate to treat you all like children, seeing as you are all competent adults, this college is going to have an earthquake drill in the event of another quake. So, quite frankly...I don't care what you do today..."
Murmuring could be heard from every student in the class before everyone started to talk. In the back, on the top of the stairs, Haley sighed as Destiny and Leah talked about something that Haley was not interested. Hearing Haley's sigh, Leah turned her head and looked at her friend. "Is everything okay, Haley?" She asked.
"Oh..." Haley looked up from the desk, and she turned and looked at Leah, as well as Destiny, who was now staring at her. "...Yeah, I'm fine. I just...you know...have to go through the normal things that all young dragons have to go through...I got my Dragon Master replaced, I..."
"What?" Leah asked. "What happened to Sun?"
"She got hurt during the earthquake..." Haley told them. "...She's receiving treatment right now..."
"Well, then who's training you now?" Destiny asked.
"Don't ask..." Haley growled, feeling herself sinking into her chair.
LINE BREAK
All of the students chatted as they walked out of Rayner's classroom. Haley, Leah and Destiny were the last ones out, and Haley just looked around the hall as Destiny and Leah talked about something, most likely their class project. Haley sighed as she stared right down the hall, but as the college students started to spread apart to the two separate sides of the hall, Haley's eyes widened and she gasped; down the hall, hanging from the ceiling, was a poster...a poster of her in dragon form; her hair was messy and all over the place, her tongue was hanging out of her mouth, and she wore a white T-shirt with the words "Me Am Stupid" written on it with red paint.
Without even realizing what she was doing, Haley took off running down the hall, not stopping until she was right in front of the poster. "No..." Haley found herself muttering. "...Not again..."
"Haley, what's going on?" Haley could hear Destiny's voice behind her, and the next thing Haley knew, both girls were by her side. "Oh...This again..."
"Who's doing this?" Haley asked, not really expecting an answer. She was too busy looking at the poster, and by the time she got to her dragon head, she didn't care; all she cared about was calming the anger that was now coursing through her veins. "You know what?" She suddenly decided. "It doesn't matter! I'm going to take care of it right now!"
Holding out her palm, Haley blew a ball of fire into it. "What are you doing, Haley?" Destiny asked, but Haley didn't answer. Instead, Haley growled as she threw the poster. However, when the fire hit the poster, nothing happened to the poster...
...For the flames stopped abruptly and turned back on Haley. Haley yelled as she was thrown off her feet...
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
"Haley!" As Haley slowly opened her eyes after being thrown to the floor, Haley could see Destiny and Leah standing over her. As Destiny bent down and helped pull Haley into a sitting position, Leah stood back and said: "You know, Haley. I think you just gave everyone a good reason to believe in that poster..." To prove her point, Leah indicated to the students in the hall, who were all smiling and snickering at her.
As Haley got to her feet, she shot Leah an angry glare. "How did that happen?" Destiny asked, looking at the unharmed poster. "Your fire should have obliterated it..."
"I know why..." Haley told her. "...There is only one way to make it like that. Magic. Dark Magic. There's only one place where you can get magic like that."
"Where?" Destiny asked, now looking at Haley with a look of interest in her eyes.
"Magus Bazaar..." Haley told both girls. "...And I'm going there right now..." Haley then turned and started to walk down the hall, but just as she was about to take her second step, a ringing came from her pocket. Sighing, Haley pulled out her communication device just as a holographic image of Councilor Ulixes appeared.
"Dragon Long..." Ulixes said. "...You are to report to training in exactly fifteen minutes."
"But, Councilor..." Haley tried to explain, but Ulixes cut her off.
"For the time being, you are to call me 'Master'..." Ulixes grinned. "...And you are to report to the Island of Draco in fifteen minutes. If you are not on time, then I will be adding two hours to your training session for every minute you are late..."
Haley opened her mouth, and tried to speak, but before she could say anything, the image of Ulixes faded away. Sighing, Haley lowered the device, but a smile soon appeared on her face as she turned around, looking at Leah and Destiny. Leah seemed to instantly realize what Haley was about to say, for she held out her arms, waving her hands in a dismissive motion. "No..." Leah said firmly. "...No way! There is no way that we are doing your dragon work!"
However, before Leah could say anything else, Destiny put her hand over her mouth and smiled. "Of course we'll help you, Haley..." Destiny smiled as Leah glared and growled. "...We'll take care of everything! I think my dad will be very happy to hear that I saw a magical mall..."
"Alright..." Haley's smile widened. "...Thanks, guys..."
"No problem..." Destiny told her, still keeping her hand over Leah's mouth. Leah tried to pull away from Destiny's grip, but Destiny put her hand at the back of Leah's head, keeping her silent as Haley turned and ran down the hallway and out of the school. As Haley left the school, Leah crossed her arms as Destiny finally pulled away.
LINE BREAK
Fu Dog was standing on the grass at the archery field on the Island Of Draco. Fu could feel himself shiver with anxiety as a dragon Ulixes stood by him. Ulixis' arms were crossed, and she looked very angry. "She has exactly one minute to get here." She growled.
Looking up at the angry dragon, Fu returned his attention to the grass, and he found himself groaning nervously. "Come on, kid..."
"I'M HERE! I'M HERE!" Fu looked up at the sound of Haley's voice, and he could see Haley landing in front of them. Haley was panting heavily, and she bent over, putting her claws on her knees as she panted. Once Haley had gotten her breath back, she looked up at Ulixes and Fu. "Am I on time?"
"Just barely..." Ulixes told her. "...Now straighten up, Dragon Long. You have training starting now..."
Taking a deep breath, Haley stood up straight and turned around as Councilor Ulixes walked over to the brick wall that kept the rest of the island and the training courses separate. Ulixes pulled a lever that was next to the wall, and Haley watched as several holes opened up from the grass, and a dozen or so hovering discs came out of the grass. Ulixes then pressed a small, red button that was on the lever, and Haley watched, her eyes wide, as metal figures started to form from the discs.
"Dragon Long..." Ulixes stepped away from the lever and walked over to Haley. "...You are to fight these without any of your dragon powers..."
"What?" Haley asked, her eyes widening.
"You didn't let me finish, Dragon Long!" Ulixes snapped, clenching her clawed fists, but then she took a deep breath and said slowly: "...The only things you have are your intelligence, what you have learned from Master Park, and Fu Dog...BEGIN!"
Ulixes stepped away from Haley, and Haley reverted back to her human form as she heard the jingling of Fu's collar as he got by her side. Then, both Haley and Fu were prepared...
At that very moment, the metal figures attacked, speeding over to Haley and Fu, striking with their metal arms and fists. Haley gasped, and she bent backwards as two of the figures tried to punch her, only to have to jump to the side as another one tried to kick her.
As Haley stumbled back, Haley could see that Fu Dog had jumped up and tried to bite into the metal, but with a grunt, Fu was kicked away, and he hit the grass. "Owwww..." Fu moaned as Haley glared at the metal obstacles. Growling, Haley charged, jumping up and planted her feet into two of the metal obstacle's heads. Grinning, Haley jumped off of them and proceeded to jump from steel head to steel head, only to stop when one of the steel hands grabbed her ankle.
Haley yelled as she was pulled off of the heads and swung around in a circle before she was finally released. Haley grunted as she hit the grass, and she proceeded to roll across the grass. By the time Haley stopped rolling, she was on her back, and to her horror, she could see Ulixes looking down on her; she had stopped right at Ulixes' feet.
"You fail the test, Dragon Long..." Ulixes said coldly.
"That was a test?" Haley asked, sitting up straight, looking right up into Ulixes' eyes. "No! No! I can still do it! I can still stop them!"
"No..." Ulixes cut her off, stepping over her and walking over to the metal "men". "...No...You can never pass this test, and I'm going to show you why, Dragon Long..." Then, Ulixes lifted off of the ground; flapping her wings as the metal "men" tried to attack her, Ulixes blasted fire at them as she soared higher into the air. Then, Haley watched as Ulixes dived down into the pit of the figures. A moment later, half of the figures were thrown into the air, and they came crashing down, not getting back up. Ulixes then emerged once again, and she used her tail to slam some of the remaining metal figures to the ground, while she used her claws to rip into the metal of the remaining ones.
Once the last metal figures fell to the grass, Ulixes grinned as she reverted to her human form. "That is why you would never have succeeded, Dragon Long..." She told Haley.
"But..." Haley felt like she was a loss for words, but she still tried. "...You...You...You said that...that I couldn't...couldn't use my powers..."
"Exactly, Dragon Long..." Ulixes was no longer grinning, and she shook her head. "...If you follow the rules all of the time, you will never be a successful dragon. Didn't Master Park teach you that?"
"Well..."
By this time, Ulixes had walked up to her, and she was staring down on Haley, her arms crossed. "If you want to defeat your enemies, you must bend the rules some of the time..." Then, Ulixes stepped over her again and started to walk over to the wall. "Come. It is time for your next training exercise..."
LINE BREAK
Magus Bazaar, while being somewhat obscure, made a fortune for several magical creatures, who set up their own little stands and stores. As several magical creatures went on with their shopping, none seemed to notice as a two glowing lights appeared on the ground, and then, in the blink of an eye, two girls shot out of them.
Both Destiny and Leah screamed with fear as they came crashing down, and Leah grunted as Destiny landed on top of her. "...Get...off...of...me..." Leah groaned, each breath she took being laborious.
"Oh..." Destiny's eyes widened, and she quickly pushed herself off of Leah, and stood up. "...Sorry about that..." Then, she added as Leah stood up, using one of her hands to hold her back, which cracked as she stood up. "...Thanks for breaking my fall, though..."
"Don't mention it..." Leah replied sarcastically. "Can we just get this over with?"
"Man, Leah..." Destiny whispered as the two started to walk through the bazaar. "...Since when have you been so lazy? I would imagine that you would want to come here. I mean, I do..."
"Well, you're here now..." Leah replied in an irritated tone. "...And that is also why I'm here. This is Haley's problem. I have problems of my own at the moment..."
"You mean me?" Destiny asked. By this time, the two girls had come to the heart of Magus Bazaar, and they were now walking into a really dark alley, where there were only a few people walking; two to be precise, and they were both dressed in dark colors so they could not be seen. The stores in this alley were old and run down; there were only two buildings; one on each side, and there were three doors on each side, followed by three windows, two of which were broken, and the last one was only cracked.
"I don't want to talk about it..." Leah growled as she and Destiny walked further into the dark alley.
"Why not?" Destiny demanded. "Maybe I want to talk about it! You know, we went on that date last weekend, and you haven't said anything about it since...What's wrong?"
"I..." It took Leah a couple seconds to find herself, but by the time she did, Destiny shushed her and put her hand on Leah's shoulder, turning her around so that she was facing the third door, and Leah's eyes widened as she read the sign over the door: Walker's Magic Shop
"Dark Magic..." Destiny whispered. "...It's obvious."
"Yeah..." Leah concurred. "So, now what do we do?"
"We go in..." Destiny told her. "...Come on..." Leah took a step back as Destiny stepped toward the door. Destiny was just about to reach out and grab the knob, but before she could, the knob turned, and the door open. Quickly taking a step back over to where Leah was standing, both girls gasped in shock as they saw who was coming out of the shop.
The person wore a black Grimm Reaper robe, had red hair, and was holding a bag with ingredients in it. The girl's eyes widened as she saw the two girls in front of her, a scowl starting to appear on her face.
"Olivia..." Leah breathed.
LINE BREAK
Haley could feel sweat pour down her forehead as Councilor Ulixes stepped away from a bomb that she had placed on the grass. Haley could feel her heart sinking as she realized that the bomb was slowly starting to tick down from ninety seconds. Ulixes walked right by Haley and stopped at a safe distance away from the bomb, which was right where Fu Dog was standing. Ulixes looked down at Fu Dog and scowled. "Aren't you going to help her?"
"I..." Fu Dog chuckled nervously. "...You know, I was actually thinking that I'd stay here where I'm perfectly safe..." Chuckling again, Fu looked up at Ulixes, only to have his nervous smile fade when he saw Ulixes scowling at him. Then, Fu Dog let out a yelp of pain as Ulixes' tail whacked him from behind, sending him skidding over to where Haley was standing.
"Now..." Ulixes crossed her arms and continued: "...Your test is to now stop the timer on the bomb. You cannot use your dragon powers, but remember what I said earlier. Sometimes, you must cheat in order to get ahead in life..."
"Right!" Haley replied, wiping the sweat away from her forehead as he dragon claws appeared in a bright pink light. "I'll totally have this bomb defused in no time..." Haley then put her claws to the red wire and cut it. The timer stopped where it was, and Haley grinned. Turning around, Haley called: "I did it! I-uggh!"
However, before Haley could continue, there was a loud noise right behind her, followed by shaking, and flames as the bomb detonated. Haley and Fu were thrown forwards, and they landed, once again, right at Ulixes' feet. "But..." Haley muttered as she looked up and saw that Ulixes was shaking her head.
"No, Dragon Long..." Ulixes told her. "...I told you that there are some times where it is in one's best interests to not play by the rules. Other times, it is imperative. You have to know when-Hey, where are you going, Dragon Long? Training is not over yet!"
As Ulixes had been lecturing Haley, Haley and Fu had gotten to their feet and had started to walk away. Haley turned around briefly and said: "We're going to the infirmary to see if we have eternal bleeding..."
LINE BREAK
Destiny and Leah both just stood where they were, staring at Olivia in shock. However, that soon changed when Olivia tried to make a break for it. Both Destiny and Leah grunted as Olivia pushed passed them, running down the alley. "Come on!" Leah shouted at Destiny, and she started running after Olivia.
"Leah, wait!" Destiny shouted, but when it became obvious that Leah was not going to listen, Destiny groaned and chased after Leah.
LINE BREAK
Olivia had ran out of the alley, and she started to shove passed several of the magical shoppers. Turning her head, Olivia tried to see if she was being followed, and it did not surprise her to see that Leah was chasing her, the other girl right behind her, calling out: "LEAH!"
Growling, Olivia turned her attention back to where she was going. Looking around the area, Olivia quickly spot a leprechaun looked at some kind of stand. Running to the side, Olivia grabbed onto the leprechaun, who yelled in alarm as Olivia whirled around and threw the leprechaun toward the two girls chasing her. As the now screaming leprechaun flew toward the two girls, Olivia looked around and quickly found another alley on the other side of the bazaar.
"Whoa!" Leah shouted as she saw the leprechaun flying toward her, and both girls moved to the side, the leprechaun flying passed as if it had just gone through a goal post. Leah kept on running after Olivia, but Destiny stopped in her tracks and turned around to face the leprechaun, which was now on its back on the ground.
"Sorry..." Destiny apologized quickly before she turned just in time to see Leah turn and run into an alley. Quickening her pace, Destiny quickly turned and ran into the alley, just in time to see Leah frozen, standing right in front of a large, purple swirling portal. "LEAH!" Destiny shouted, and without even knowing what she was doing, Destiny ran up to Leah and shoved her to the ground, both of them falling as some of the bricks on the walls became dislodged and flew into the portal.
However, as they hit the ground, both girls involuntarily started to somersault across the ground, until Leah came to a stop at Olivia's feet. Olivia reacted quickly; shrinking the size of the portal, she used her other hand to grab and hold up Leah by the collar of her shirt. Destiny groaned as she slowly sat up into a sitting position, only to gasp when she saw the portal over Leah's head; Leah's hair was rustling, and her feet were lifting off of the ground. "LEAH!" Destiny shouted, but then she froze when she heard Olivia speak:
"Call Haley, or your friend leaves this world..."
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
At the infirmary on the Island of Draco, Sun Park sat on her bed, her eyes open. The door to the room opened, and Sun turned her head as Haley and Fu Dog walked into the room. As Fu hopped onto the bed, and Haley sat down beside the bed, Sun gasped as noticed some of the burns on their body. "What happened?" She asked.
"My new Dragon Master happened to me..." Haley replied. "...Sun, please tell me that you're feeling better..."
"I am, Haley..." Sun sighed.
"Well, don't tell us that..." Fu spoke up. "...Show us by coming back. That Councilor Ulixes is insane! She almost got us blo..."
"Uh, Fu..." Fu was cut off when Haley spoke, tapping him on the shoulder, making the shar-pei turn his head as the door opened and a frowning Councilor Ulixes walked into the room. Councilor Ulixes didn't stop walking until she reached the side of Sun's bed.
"Dragon Park..." She finally said. "...I hope you are feeling better..."
"I am..." Sun answered. "...Thank you..."
Ulixes nodded, and she then turned around and faced Haley. "Dragon Long, Councilor Nerk has told me that you are not seriously hurt. Since that is the case, it is time to resume training. Come..."
Ulixes turned and started to walk toward the door, and Haley, sighing, slowly started to rise, and she started to follow Ulixes. Still on the bed, Fu looked from Haley to Sun; staring straight at Sun, Fu gave her the most pathetic and cute look he could muster. "...Please...save us..." He begged.
"Fu!" Fu turned his head away from Sun when he heard Haley's annoyed voice, and the shar-pei quickly jumped off of the bed and trotted over to Haley, and they both started to follow Ulixes, until Haley suddenly froze, a ringing sound coming from her pocket. Reaching into her pocket, Haley pulled out her communication device, just as a holographic image of Olivia's grinning face appeared. "Olivia?" Haley nearly shouted in surprise.
"Hello, Haley..." Olivia taunted. "...I hope you're not busy, because I'd really like to talk to you...You see, you lost something, and I have found them. I'd be happy to return them to you, but first, you have to turn yourself in to me...In case you're wondering, I'm at the Empire State Building..."
"Fat chance, Olivia!" Haley growled.
"Oh..." Olivia mocked a look of disappointment. "...Alright. I guess I'll just dispose of them. That way, you'll have two deceased friends on your conscience. You'll know how I felt when you took my friends away from me..."
"You wouldn't dare..." Haley growled.
"Oh, but I would..." Olivia's grin widened. "...And to prove it to you, I'll be more than happy to show you where they are..." Then, Haley could see that the holographic image was shaking as it was pointed upward, changing the focus. As the image became clearer, Haley's eyes widened; Haley could see both Leah and Destiny, who were holding onto the spike on the top of the building as a giant portal that was to their side and was threatening to suck them in. "Oh..." Haley could hear Olivia's giddy voice again. "...I wonder how much longer they can hold on..."
Haley could feel her heart sinking as she lowered her communication device. "COUNCILOR!" She shouted.
LINE BREAK
Destiny and Leah gritted their teeth as they both struggled to keep their grips on the spike. Below, Olivia chuckled evilly as she watched them. "DON'T WORRY, GIRLS!" She shouted up to them. "JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER! EITHER YOU LET GO AND GO TO A NEW UNIVERSE, OR HALEY COMES TO YOUR RESCUE!"
Not caring if the two heard her, Olivia turned around and walked over to the ledge of the building. "Come on, Haley..." Olivia said to herself. "...My patience is wearing very thin."
"Good!" A female voice suddenly called out, making Olivia's grin only widen. "Mine too!" Looking up and to her side, Olivia could see that Haley was hovering above her, and another, older dragon.
"Who's your friend, Haley?" Olivia mocked. "Where's that blue dragon you're always with?"
"Silence!" Councilor Ulixes growled, and she swooped down, trying to slash as Olivia, but Olivia jumped to the side as Ulixes slammed against the ground. Ulixes immediately got up and tried to slash as Olivia again, but Olivia managed to dodge the attack. Growling, Ulixes repeatedly tried to swipe at Olivia, just as she shot Haley a quick glare.
Catching Ulixes' message, Haley flew down to where Olivia was stepping back from Ulixes' claws, and blew out a torrent of fire. Olivia quickly saw the fire coming toward her, and she jumped away from Haley, somersaulting a couple inches away as the flames slowly started to die. As Olivia stopped rolling and got to her feet, she held out her hand as a purple, swirling portal formed in her hands.
Olivia then spun around manipulated the portal so it got closer to both Haley and Ulixes. While Haley flapped her wings and flew into the air, Ulixes quickly jumped back, only to too late realize that she overstepped, and she yelped in surprise as she fell from the side of the building, as she fell, the Dragon Council member quickly shot out her claws and dug them into the wall of the building.
Ulixes quickly looked up to the roof to see how far she would have to climb, only to growl when she saw the grinning Olivia standing above her. Olivia held out her hand once more, and another purple portal formed. As it grew in size, Olivia started to laugh manically as she started to dangle it above Ulixes, however, before Ulixes could start to feel the pulling feeling of being sucked into the portal, Olivia let out a grunt, and then released a scream of fear as something bumped into her, sending her falling forward off of the Empire State Building.
Ulixes turned her head and watched as Olivia fell, twirling down to the ground as she screamed. Ulixes would have grinned, however, as Olivia disappeared from sight on her way down to the streets, her summoned portal only grew in size, and it started to pull Ulixes; Ulixes tried to keep her hold, but her claws slowly started to slide down the wall, and finally, Ulixes lost her hold and started to fall into the portal. However, Ulixes suddenly grunted as she felt someone slam into her, pushing her away from the portal. Finally being able to flap her wings again, Ulixes turned her head and saw Haley flying right beside her.
Not saying a word, Ulixes flew up to the roof of the building and landed, reverting to her human form as Haley flew up and landed right beside her. "I just save your life!" Haley seemed very annoyed. "You could at least say thank you!"
"As a dragon, you are supposed to do things without expecting gratitude, Dragon Long..." Ulixes told her.
Haley opened her mouth to say something, but she quickly turned her head away from Ulixes and looked up to the spike on the top of the building when she heard two sets of screams. The portal that was threatening to suck in Destiny and Leah had faded and the two girls had lost their grips, and were now falling. Thinking quickly, Haley lifted off of the ground and sped over to the falling girls. Just before they hit the roof, Haley scooped Destiny into her arm and reached out and grabbed Leah by the wrist.
Back on the other side of the roof, Councilor Ulixes watched as Haley flew back over to her, setting both Destiny and Leah safely onto the roof before she touched down herself.
LINE BREAK
Fu Dog sat on Sun's bed, and Sun stroked his head as the doors opened and Haley walked into the room, followed by Destiny, Leah and Fred Nerk. "Alright, girls..." Nerk told them. "...Let's see if you have any injuries..."
As Nerk led Leah and Destiny over to a bed on the other side of the room, Haley walked over to Sun and Fu. By the time Haley sat down, she was surprised to see that Fu Dog was grinning. "What is it, Fu?" Haley asked.
"Great news, kid!" Fu exclaimed. "Sun's almost as good as new! According to Nerk, she can return to being your Dragon Master first thing in the morning!"
"That's great..." Haley agreed, smiling.
"Yeah, tell me about it!" Fu continued as Sun resumed the stroking of his head. "Because quite frankly, I had it up to my head with Master Ulixes! Man, I'm glad to have survived my few hours with her!"
"Is that so?" Sun asked.
"Yep..." Fu nodded.
"What do you think, Haley?" Sun asked, turning her head and looking at Haley.
"Sun..." Haley replied quickly, but she then stopped herself, trying to think of the best way to answer. Finally, she said: "I'm glad to be under your guidance again..."
LINE BREAK
On the streets of New York, Olivia Mears was lying on her back, unmoving, although her eyes were wide open and she was blinking, obviously alive. People were standing over her, beyond shocked and horrified. "How can she still be alive?" a man asked, turning to his wife.
"Alright, alright!" A new voice called, and two men wearing doctor's outfits pushed through the crowd, carrying a stretcher. Kneeling down and setting the stretcher on the ground, one of the doctors took Olivia's arms, while the other took her feet. "It's alright, Miss..." the doctor with her shoulders told her as they put her on the stretcher. "...You're going to be alright..."
