American Dragon Season Three
Chapter/Episode 10: Cane and Scale
This early in the morning and I'm already fighting some bad dude? This was the thought in Jake's mind, as his dragon form fell out of the sky and onto a wooden table in the quad of his High School. Well, the bad dude was actually a bad woman: Chang, the Queen of Cruel herself. Jumping off the dazed Am Drag, Councilor Chang skidded across the pavement before grinning evilly.
"Where's your precious hunter, Jake?" she taunted as Jake slowly got up.
"Safe from you!" was Jake's only reply. Jake was then thrown back as Chang hurled herself into his body, knocking him against the pavement of a school wall, which caved in and caused both dragons to land on several desks in Study Hall. A student looked up from his paper and just stared at the battle, as Chang picked Jake up and tossed him into the ceiling. Jake came back down, but before he hit the ground, Chang wrapped her tail around him and hurled back outside before going out after him. The student just blinked before falling off his desk in a dead-on faint.
Back outside, Chang landed right at Jake's feet, allowing the younger dragon to rise before slamming into him once again.
LINE BREAK
Principal Nosca was currently pacing down the halls of the school. Trailing behind him was a strict looking woman who was clutching a clipboard. As Nosca stopped at the steel doors of the school, he turned to the person who had the locker closest to these doors, who just so happened to be Trixie.
"You, could you please get the door for me?" Nosca asked her. At first, Trixie groaned, yet she still slowly walked over to the door and opened it. Nosca smiled as he cocked his head to the woman, who was obviously evaluating the school and the work he had done as principal. "See, I'm such a great principal that the students help me out!"
"Well, we'll see…" the woman said strictly as she walked out the door, which Nosca was holding open for her. Grinning, Nosca stepped out right by her side only to gape at the exact same sight that the woman was staring at with open eyes.
In front of them, a red dragon was lying on his back with a maroon dragon on top of him, her claws about to cut his throat open. However, the dragon on top turned her head only to let out a small gasp before she shot up and soared into the air and away from the humans who had seen her. The red dragon jumped up onto his feet.
"Ha, that's right Chang!" the red dragon shouted. "You better run!" The red dragon apparently thought that the coast was clear, as a blue light surrounded his form and he appeared to shrink. As the light disappeared, Jake Long turned around only to see the flabbergasted adults.
"Aw man!"

BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Jake currently stood outside Principal Nosca's office door as he listened to the woman belittle and berate the man.
"This is some school you're running here, Principal Nosca!" the woman seemed to shout at the top of her lungs. "How could you let a thing like that attend this school; a dragon?!"
"There are no such things as dragons!" Nosca retorted at the top of his lungs as well.
"Well, today really proved otherwise." The woman lowered her voice, making it so that Jake had to put his ear to the door. "The fact that you let such things as monstrous dragons attend this school makes me question your abilities as an authority figure for these children."
"I hadn't a clue." Nosca replied.
"Oh really?" the woman asked quizzically. "The boy has had no suspicious or peculiar behavior?"
"Well…" Nosca recalled. "There was this one time in the woods."
"You took an evil dragon camping?"
"No!" Nosca exclaimed. "It was a fieldtrip for starters, and second of all, the boy stole a permission slip from a football player."
"See…evil." The woman said.
"Anyway, I found the boy and his friends fighting a girl that looked very similar to a former student that attended. Only it couldn't have been…she didn't go." Nosca finished.
There was a pause before Jake could hear the woman speak again. "Mr. Nosca, you leave me no choice. From this moment on, you are no longer allowed within 10 feet of this school. You are fired."
"But, who would take my job?"
"Oh don't worry…" victorious narcissism was in the woman's tone of voice. "I will find another who can take your place. One who will take care of the dragon problem…Until then, I will take charge of this school. Goodbye sir."
Jake suddenly jumped back as he heard footsteps coming for the door. Jake managed to sit back in the seat that Nosca had ordered him to sit in just as the door opened and Nosca stomped out. Jake turned his head to see the woman slowly walk out, a vicious grin on her face.
"Oh Jake…" she spoke. "I want to thank you. Without your little mess up, I would never have been able to seize power at this dump of a school."
"What are you talking about, yo?" Jake was dumbfounded. "And how do you know my name?"
"Oh dear, you don't see the resemblance of personality? Of plot?" the woman opened her mouth in fake surprise. "Because of you, my husband has been rotting in prison for months! Does that give you any hint?!"
"No…"
"Think back, you stupid dragon!" the woman approached Jake, as if she was about to grab him in rage, but she stepped back, calming herself. "Maybe this will refresh your memory…" she said as she reached into a pocket of her jacket and pulled out a vial of blue liquid.
"Brockium!" It suddenly dawned on the young dragon.
"That's right…" the woman grinned viciously as she bowed stiffly. "Mrs. Victoria Brock…A week of detention for you, no one uses street slang in front of me."
"So, what's your plan?" Jake crossed his arms.
"Are you telling me that you're really that stupid?" Mrs. Brock grinned even more. "Nothing has changed. I will achieve what my husband has failed to do. Maybe after I expose you, they will release my husband from his unjustified imprisonment. You better watch out, Jacob Long, because your secret is about to be revealed."
LINE BREAK
A door to a dark roomed open and a hand fumbled for the light switch. As soon as the lights flickered on, ex-Principal Nosca closed the door and dropped his things before walking into his home. Sighing, Nosca walked over to his big comfy chair. However, just as he was about another footstep from it, the chair whirled around, making Nosca jump in shock. In the chair sat a woman in black and velvet robes.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Nosca asked.
"Calm down, my friend…" Councilor Chang stood up from the chair. "I mean you no harm. In fact, I have a proposition for you. Because of Jake Long, you have lost your job. How will you ever survive? That boy is a menace! He must be stopped…and destroyed."
"Why do you want him out of the way?" Nosca narrowed his eyes.
"That boy landed a poor, innocent and harmless old woman in prison." Chang frowned, putting the saddest look that she could muster on her face. To prove her point, Chang brought up her staff, which she merely started to use as a walking stick. "See, I'm utterly harmless. Please my pathetic human—I mean, my friend; help me relieve society from this burden. What do you say?"
Nosca just stared at the woman for a couple of moments before he made up his mind. Nodding, Nosca turned his heel and walked over to a wall. Grabbing hold of a piece of plaster, Nosca pulled it up revealing a glass case with a large red button. Shattering the glass, Nosca slammed his fist against the button, making the wall beside him mechanically rise up like a garage door, revealing a whole rack of beautiful canes. Nosca stared at them for a moment before he grabbed a black one with a gold handle and button on it. As the ex-principal held the cane up, he pressed the button, causing a long steel blade to shoot out.
"I'm ready…" Nosca turned to the grinning Chang.
"Good!" Chang exclaimed. "Now go! Make Jake Long pay for every person he has wronged!"
Nosca nodded once more before he turned and walked out the door, which slammed behind him.
As soon as she was certain that the coast was clear, Chang turned and let out a laugh as she transformed into a dragon and flew out the window.
BLACKOUT; CUT TO COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
The next morning, the whole school was called into the auditorium. The only was problem was that they were called in almost half an hour ago, and whatever was going on hadn't happened yet. Jake was currently sitting on the opposite side of Trixie and Spud, as they quietly talked about what had happened.
"You really messed up this time, Jakey." Trixie said sympathetically.
"But it wasn't even my fault!" Jake tried to defend himself. "I couldn't control the fact that Chang showed up when she did."
"But it was very irresponsible, Jake." Jake suddenly heard Holly's voice from beside him. Holly slowly sat right beside him, gently putting down a newspaper article in front of him.
"Yo, what's this?"
"It's a newspaper article on the sacking of Cosca." Holly said matter-of-factly as she put her chin in her hands. "I honestly don't know how we're going to fix this one, Jake."
"You're going to help me?"
"Of course!" Holly smiled. "You helped me figure out who has my brother. Now all I need to work out is how to find him and save TJ. Anyway, read the article. This woman is crazy."
"Read it, Jakey." Trixie urged.
Jake nodded and held up the paper before reading out loud: "Delusional and Incompetent Principal Fired: On Monday January 14th 2008, Millard Fillmore High School Principal Richard Nosca was sacked from his job after he appeared mentally unstable after claiming that he saw a student transform into a dragon. New York City's own Officer Brad Morton Sr. has said quote 'I feel that Richard Nosca is a dangerous influence for these kids. He obviously is not in the right state of mind and can resort to violence in front of or against the students'. The city has already named a replacement: Mrs. Victoria Brock."
"What? This is stupid!" Spud slammed his fist down on the table just as the lights in the auditorium dimmed and Mrs. Brock stepped onto the stage, followed by Brad and Nigel.
"Hello, students." Mrs. Brock's voice boomed. "I'm certainly sure that you have all heard what happened the other day. But that really doesn't matter. What does matter is that I am your new Principal, and these are your new student officers: Brad Morton and Nigel Thrall. Now, I'm certain that as long as you respect my authority, we can all get along just fine."
"Wait, how did Nigel get to be on her side?" Jake asked. "Isn't he magical?"
"She wants a dragon, Jake." Holly replied. "Not a wizard. Besides, I know how Brad got in. With his daddy as one of the most respected police officers in the city, the little jerk-jock got in on the power!"
"You!" Mrs. Brock's voice boomed even louder. All four friends looked up to see that the new principal was pointing right at Holly. "Get up here NOW!"
Holly just looked up at the woman before glancing back at her friends. While Jake and Spud had a "run for your life" look on their faces, Trixie had the opposite piece of advice. "Go up there. You'll be fine. She can't hurt you."
Assured, Holly stood up slowly before she walked even slower up to the stage. By the time Holly had gotten onto the stage, she was surprised that Mrs. Brock was now holding out a wooden ruler.
"What is your name?" she asked menacingly.
"Holly…" Holly was terrified.
"Your full name, you twit!" Mrs. Brock shouted at the top of her lungs, making all the students just as frightened as the poor girl in front of the dictator principal was.
"Um, Holly Jennings, ma'am…" the frightened girl answered.
Mrs. Brock composed herself and straightened up. "Sit back down." She ordered, and Holly scampered down back to the table.
"Now…" Mrs. Brock turned back to the appalled students. "This school is going to have many changes. First of all, there will be no lunch or brunch, no weekends or Summer Vacation. It will be a year round school, and these will be your new uniforms."
Mrs. Brock stepped out of the way as the rest of the football team rolled in several tables of black pants, a white shirt, a black tie, a black vest and black shoes for the boys and a black skirt, a white shirt, a black tie, a black vest, long white socks and black shoes for the girls.
"And finally, all throughout the week starting tomorrow, I will be calling each one of you into my office for testing." Mrs. Brock smiled evilly. "Just to make sure that you don't have…lice…"
LINE BREAK
The next morning, all of the students were dressed in the same way. The doors to the building opened and a glum looking Jake walked in. As he reached his locker, which Spud and Trixie were at, he dropped his backpack and kicked it.
"Don't worry, bud." Spud spoke. "We're all suffering here. You're not alone."
"Yeah well, when Fu Dog saw me this morning, he almost died of laughter." Jake bent over and opened up his backpack. "Yo, is there anyone watching?"
"No, why?" Spud asked as Jake pulled out a pair of scissors, which he used to slash his jacket. He then brought his hands up and loosened his tie.
"How do I look?" Jake asked.
"Like a bloody fool…" Nigel suddenly walked up from behind him. "You also look like someone who is going to get in major trouble with Mrs. Brock."
"Nigel, why are you doing this?" Jake asked. "I know you're mad at Spud for taking Stacey, but why are you working for an evil hag like Mrs. Brock? If you haven't noticed, she's out to get our kind! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Not really…" Nigel smiled. "Anyway, I gave her information on all the dragons at this school in exchange for my safety. There are only about 11 dragons at this school, including you…and your sophomore friend…"
"Where's Holly?" Jake demanded.
"She was the first to go in for inspection." Nigel smiled. "Brock has probably already used the Brockium on her. She's probably only in a lab going through extremely painful tests. You'll be next Long…Enjoy your last week, because she's saving you for last. This reminds me, she wants you two." Grabbing Trixie and Spud by the collars of their vests, Nigel smiled at Jake before he led the two down the hall.
LINE BREAK
It was the end of the day and Jake was currently walking home. Trixie and Spud had been taken in the morning, yet they hadn't returned. "New crazy principal, longer days, all year school, my friends missing…Can this day get any worse?" Jake spoke to himself.
"It just did, dragon!" Jake suddenly looked up to see Principal Nosca sitting on a tree. Getting to his feet, Nosca leaped from the tree and landed right in front of the startled American Dragon. Slinging his cane from his back, Nosca pushed the button which made the blade come out.
"Prepare to be slain…"
CUT TO BLACK; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Jake just stood there with wide eyes; he could not believe this was happening. Nosca just stood there with his cane raised, as if he was waiting for Jake to make the first move. When Jake didn't, Nosca roared as he charged. Jake transformed into a dragon and tried to charge as well, only to have Nosca flip over him. Nosca landed on his feet and whirled around about to impale Jake from behind, only to be blasted from the side with a blast of fire. Nosca recovered quickly and quickly fled as Jake looked up to see Holly hovering in the air with Trixie and Spud on her back. As Holly touched the ground, Jake could see that there were gold manacles around her wrists and ankles.
"Yo, what happened?"
"We have a problem, Jake!" Holly seemed shaken. "Mrs. Brock used the Brockium on me. She had me tied down while she took a picture of me. Jake, I'm stuck like this! We have to go to your grandfather; he's the only one that can help! But we have to be careful, she's looking for you!"
"About that…" Spud pointed out. "Maybe we don't have to do anything. She's sealed her own defeat! If she exposes dragons, then the cops will know that she got rid of Nosca due to a lie!"
"But the magical world will still be revealed, Spud!" Holly said. "She'd be famous and we'd be in trouble."
LINE BREAK
By the time they got to the shop, Gramps seemed to be trying to play chess with Fu. "You do know that I don't have hands, right?" Fu asked.
"Are you really that bored, Gramps?" both dragon and dog turned their head to see Jake toss his coat off as he and the still dragon Holly entered.
"Jake, what is the meaning of this?" Gramps roared.
"We can tell you later, sir!" Holly replied. "But we need a potion. The new principal used a potion on me and now I'm stuck in dragon form!"
"We also need a memory potion, Gramps." Jake added. "It looks as if Nosca is going to be a problem."
"What do you mean young dragon?" Gramps asked.
"He attacked me outside with this totally whacked out cane!" Jake exclaimed. "This dude is dangerous! He knows I'm a dragon and he's taking his sacking out on me!"
"Alright, I'll see what I can do." Lao-Shi told his grandson. "Fu Dog, make a memory erasing potion!"
"Hey, it beats playing chess with paws!" Fu jumped down from the counter with a small grin before rushing off into the back room.
LINE BREAK
It wasn't that much of a wait for Fu to finish making the potion. It just felt like it. Once Fu finally came back out with the potion, the four kids jumped out of their seat. Jake slowly walked over to the dog, who handed it to him.
"So, what do I do?" Jake asked. "How does it work?"
"Just pour it on him." Fu answered, before shuddering. "Oh man, it attaches to your skin and then slowly sinks in. It is not a pleasant feeling."
"But that potion you wanted me to give to Trixie and Spud…" Jake started.
"That was a different kind, kid." Fu answered. "Now, go solve the problem you caused."
LINE BREAK
Jake, Trixie, Spud and the now human Holly rushed to the school as fast as they could. However, they stopped as they saw Nigel and Brad in the yard, waiting for them. Unfortunately for Jake, Nigel met his gaze. The next thing Jake knew, there was a blast of green magic as Nigel and Brad both appeared.
"Wow, how did you do that?" Brad was amazed.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Nigel replied as he grabbed Jake. "You get those three and we'll take them to Brock."
LINE BREAK
Moments later, Jake found himself spread out on a cold steel table. His hands were forced to his sides where they were held down with steel manacles, as were his feet. Despite this, Jake looked up to see that Trixie and Spud had been tied to chairs, while Nigel was finishing tying Holly to a chair as well. Just as Nigel stood up, Mrs. Brock entered with a vial of her potion. She grinned as she looked at the prisoners before she walked over to Jake.
"Keep those three together so I can punish them later." She ordered. "Oh and Brad, guard them with your life. Nigel, come over here with me." Brad grinned and nodded happily as he scooted Holly's chair over to Trixie and Spud, while Nigel walked over to Mrs. Brock. As soon as Brad turned his back, Holly let out a big smile.
"What are you smiling at, you crazy girl?" Trixie shot.
"I thought that a wizard would know that ropes are the worst thing to tie dragons up with." The grin on the female dragon widened as she transformed into her dragon form, snapping the ropes with no strain at all on her part.
"Hey…" Holly whispered in Brad's ear as she tapped his shoulder. Brad whirled around with a shocked look on his face only to be greeted with Holly's wooden chair being brought down. The chair shattered into pieces and Brad hit the ground like a rag doll. This caught both Nigel and Mrs. Brock's attention. Nigel immediately pulled out his wand and disappeared in a bright magical light.
"Where are you going, you coward?" Mrs. Brock demanded.
"It's over, Mrs. Brock." Holly spat. "Let Jake go now and maybe I'll give you the pleasure of not perishing on this day."
"Not so fast, Miss Jennings…" Mrs. Brock smirked as she revealed the open vial of Brockium in her hand. "One wrong move and Mr. Long will be revealed to the world!"
Holly's determined look suddenly faded as she glanced from the vial to her friend that was in trouble. Lowering her head, Holly reverted back to her human form as Mrs. Brock laughed. "That's a good girl." She taunted. "However, your friend still pays!"
The rage inside Holly soon returned and was stronger than before. With a yell, Holly shot up and kicked Mrs. Brock in the back, forcing the yelping teacher off her feet and over the steel table. As her free-fell, Mrs. Brock's hand hit the switch and the manacles retracted from Jake's body. The American Dragon appeared in a bright blue light and he stood as Mrs. Brock hit the ground with a thud and a grunt. Her vial of Brockium shattered against the floor, never to touch another dragon.
"Hey!" Trixie's voice came. "That was awesome! Now untie US!"
"No!" Mrs. Brock howled. "That was my last vial!" She rose to her feet, seething in anger. Before Mrs. Brock could make another move, Principal Nosca crashed through the window, shattering it. Mrs. Brock turned in shock before she was knocked unconscious by a swing of Nosca's fist as he landed.
As Nosca pulled out his cane, the American Dragon turned to Holly, who had finished freeing Trixie and Spud. "Guys, you need to get out of here!" His friends nodded and they exited out the door and down the hall.
Jake turned his attention back to his former principal just as the blade protruded from the cane and he charged.
LINE BREAK
Holly, Trixie and Spud were just about to reach the doors of the school when Holly suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Girl, what are you doing?" Trixie asked. "We're almost there!"
"The potion…" Holly's eyes widened in realization as she pulled the potion out of the pocket of her shirt. "I need to give it to Jake!" However, Holly was suddenly thrown against a locker as Chang slammed into her. "You have to get out of here!" Holly called. "Call the police…Do something!"
Trixie and Spud looked at each other before they turned and ran out the door.
"Nice outfit, Holly." Chang taunted. "How has this prison of a school affected you?"
"You tell me…" Holly transformed into her dragon form and easily hurled Chang off of her. "After all, you would know all about the affects of prison. It actually made you even uglier! I didn't think that possible!"
Chang growled as she slowly got to her feet. "You insolent brat; you have no idea of how powerful the Dark One has made me!" Chang tried to throw a swipe, but Holly dodged and clawed at Chang, slashing a small scratch on her chest. Chang growled as she looked up, backhanding her younger opponent. Holly was caught off guard and she fell forward onto the floor, with Chang towering above her.
LINE BREAK
Back in the office, Nosca repeatedly tried to slash Jake, but the American Dragon always managed to dodge the blade. Now hovering in the air, Jake grinned at Cosca's futile attempts to jump up and swipe him.
"Come on, Nosca!" Jake called out. "Don't take it out on me! Take it out on the woman lying on the ground! She's an evil one!"
As Nosca lowered his cane and stopped his angry growling, it actually appeared that he may actually be listening to the young dragon.
"I'm sorry, sir!" Jake continued. "I didn't mean to cause all this trouble!"
Principal Nosca looked up at the hovering dragon before turning around and running. Jake thought for a moment that Nosca was about to flee again, but he was proven wrong as Nosca jumped up and ran up the wall with almost magical abilities himself. With super strength, Nosca pushed himself off the wall and launched himself at Jake.
"Aw man!" were the last words that came out of Jake's mouth before Cosca hit him with such a force that they both hit the wall and came back down to the ground dazed.
LINE BREAK
As the dazed Holly reverted to her human form, Chang grabbed her by her hair. Holly gasped as Chang threw her against a locker and grabbed her by the throat with her claws.
"I dare you to make another comment about my looks now, you stupid girl!" Chang challenged. "Go ahead! Try it! No? Nothing to say after all, I must same I'm surprised." Chang then pulled her away from the locker and smashed her against the floor.
Although it hurt, Holly resisted the urge to just lie on the floor; instead she forced herself to her feet once she saw that Chang's staff was resting against one of the lockers. Holly only made it a few steps before Chang realized her mistake and wrapped her tail around her enemy's ankle, resulting in Holly hitting the floor again. Only this time, Holly's hand grabbed hold of the staff.
"What? No!" Chang snarled as she leapt off her feet and soared at Holly. Holly took aim with the staff and just as Chang was right above her, fired a beam of velvet colored energy. The blast hit Chang, sending the yelling dragon up and crashing through the roof. Holly grinned as she got to her feet. However, the grin soon faded as she realized once more that she needed to get the potion to Jake.
LINE BREAK
Now on the ground, Jake could do nothing except accept the fact that Cosca was beating him. Nosca was currently pinning him down, while repeatedly bashing his head against the floor. Jake would be trying to fight back, except he couldn't turn around to use his arms against his principal.
"Man Nosca, have you been lifting weights?" Jake groaned against the weight.
LINE BREAK
Back at the shop, Lao-Shi sat back at the chess board. Now he was bored. After the kids had left, Fu had refused to finish the game. He had even tried to play the game with himself, but that didn't seem to work.
Suddenly, the door to the shop opened and Trixie and Spud rushed in.
"Please tell me that you have a phone in here." Trixie gasped for air.
"Of course we do." Lao-Shi answered. "But you can't use it…"
"Why not?" Trixie asked. "This is an emergency!"
"Fu Dog is ordering a pizza…"
LINE BREAK
Jake couldn't take this much more. It felt like his ribs were either going to either snap or cave in. Nosca was just too strong. Was this the end? Apparently not; just as Jake started to pound his fists against the ground repeatedly in frustration and pain, Nosca slowly rose and stood on the other side of the room. "Are you going to fight me, dragon?" he asked.
Jake slowly got to his feet and just tried to catch his breath, yet apparently, Nosca wanted a fight.
"Jake!" Jake suddenly heard Holly's voice. Turning Jake could see Holly in the doorway. Holly pulled her arm back and brought it forward. Jake could see the vial flying through the air. Jake dived and quickly caught it. Turning, Jake could see Nosca running at him.
"Oh, if you want a fight, I'll give ya a fight!" Jake smiled cockily as he lifted into the air and dropped the vial just as Nosca was right below him. The vial shattered open and a mist went throughout the room. "Holly, cover your face!" Jake called out.
As soon as the mist cleared, Jake was in human form by Holly's side as they saw Nosca sitting on the ground with a vacant look on his face. "Stay here." Jake said to Holly before he slowly approached his principal. Bending down on one knee, Jake brought one of his hands up and snapped his fingers. "Principal Nosca, are you okay?"
Nosca groaned before he shook his head back and forth. As soon as he was done doing that, he blinked. "Principal Nosca…" Jake repeated. "Are you okay?"
Nosca looked straight into Jake's eyes, and for a moment, Jake feared that Nosca was going to be stuck like that forever; however, Nosca opened his mouth and shouted: "PUT YOUR HEAD ON THE WALL!"
LINE BREAK
Just minutes later, all the students gathered around the entrance of the school as soon as they noticed police cars around the parking lot. Just as soon as they had gathered, the doors to the building opened and two cops escorted out a handcuffed Mrs. Brock, who looked absolutely dumbfounded and frightened.
"What did I do wrong?" she cried. "I would never do such horrible things to children! I don't even know what I'm doing at this school!"
As the cops forced Mrs. Brock into the back of a car, two more cops brought out the still unconscious Brad and led him to a car as well. Finally, Officer Morton exited with a sad look on his face. As soon as he stepped out, Trixie, Jake, Holly and Spud walked out with victorious smiles on their faces.
"So, did we do good Jake?" Spud asked.
"You guys did awesome!" Jake looked at his friends. "Without you, Mrs. Brock wouldn't have been captured. She probably would have came to her senses and escaped."
"Speaking of which…" Holly said thoughtfully. "Do you think we should visit her in prison and tell her that she doesn't remember the things she did because of a potion?"
"No…" Jake answered. "If she doesn't remember being married to a jerk like Brock, her rage might go away and she might stand a good chance at rehabilitation."
"Really?" Holly turned to face Jake.
"No!"
LINE BREAK
By the next morning, everything had returned to the way it should have been. The three friends sat at a table in the cafeteria eating breakfast. Jake finished and got up to throw the rest away just in time to see Holly enter. She stopped in front of him and smiled.
"Hey Jake…"
"Hi Holly…"
"So…" Holly began. "Did you hear that Brad's father was able to weasel him out of Juvenile Hall due to his power in the police force?"
"No." Jake answered. "How do you know that?"
Holly turned and pointed out to the student line as Brad walked over and walked to the front of the line where he shoved Frederick out of the way to get his breakfast. "But the good news is that he doesn't remember anything." Holly smiled with relief. "And, I heard that his father put him under house arrest until the day he moves out of the house."
"What about Nosca?" Jake asked.
"I saw him this morning." Holly replied. "He doesn't remember a thing; not even that he was fired in the first place."
"That's great…I guess…"
"It is!" Holly assured him. "That means that he isn't out to get you anymore. Anyway Jake, I had a lot of fun working with you on this. Until next time?"
"Yeah…you're brother!" Jake replied. "We'll get him back…and we'll make that man pay."
Holly nodded. "I won't rest until that man pays for breaking up my family. Thanks for your help, Jake. You're a great friend." With a smile, Holly turned and exited the cafeteria. Jake turned back to his friends and sat back down. He was going to help Holly find her brother, but the problem was finding the man who had him.
BLACKOUT; END OF STORY/CHAPTER
A/N PLEASE READ: This chapter was actually pretty hard to write, so I hoped you like it. Please review! Also, as of now, this will be updated a lot less; like once a month or so. I'm not doing this to be lazy; I'm doing this because I'm trying to spread it out like a regular season that Disney would air. It also is fairly draining and stressful writing these. To make it like an actual episode, the minimum for length is 15 pages, which is super, super long for me. Forgive me for this, and I still hope you read despite this.
Also, you may see this somewhat as a knock-off of Rotwood Files. Well, I'd describe this chapter of a mixture of that episode and what I personally think Magic Enemy #1 should have been.
