Chinatown Dragon 2: The Alliance

Final Chapter:

The next morning, Jake sat in the temple at the Island of Draco. Councilors Andam, Kulde and Chang were all sitting at their table, and Jake was standing before them. "I didn't see what happened." Jake was explaining what happened to his grandfather. "He told us to get out and save ourselves. He sacrificed his life to save us. I don't know who it was that ended him, either. Both the Dark Dragon and Chang were being controlled by Kong Li, so it could have been either of them."

As Jake told the council this, Chang spit out the tea that she had been drinking, her hand squeezing her cup to the point that it shattered. Chang sat up, enraged. "Are you in any way trying to suggest that I am working for the number one threat to the Magical World?! How dare you suggest that I would betray my own kind?"

"Calm yourself, Chang…" Andam sighed. "The boy is not accusing you of anything. Although…I find it odd that you were being controlled along with him. Perhaps he should be accusing you."

Chang's eyes flashed with rage, and she started to shake. "I would never betray my own…"

"Then perhaps you wouldn't mind standing trial…" Councilor Kulde spoke.

"What?" Chang stood up; the expression of shock on her face was obvious. At that moment, two dragons clad in armor entered the room. "How dare you?!" Chang roared.

"Aw…" Andam replied, acknowledging the dragon guards. "Please escort Councilor Chang down to the prison chambers…"

The two new arrivals nodded and grabbed hold of Chang, escorting her out of the hall. "How dare you?!" Chang continued to roar. "The well-being of the Magical World is my priority!" Chang continued to shout until she was dragged out, her shouts fading away. The doors closed behind them, but once again opened up as two more guards escorted Rose inside. Rose's hands were shackled in front and just like her capture the night before, she did not fight.

"Rose?" Jake asked, but Andam clearing his throat brought Jake's attention back to the council.

"Dragon Long…" Andam continued. "The entire council has discussed the topic of your grandfather's passing over the night, and we have come to the conclusion that you still need a dragon master. We have assigned you a new master. Her name is Sun Park, and we were going to assign her to your sister when she completely develops her powers, but we have decided to assign her to you instead because of yesterday's events."

"We think it would be best if you were to meet her now." Kulde added. After Kulde spoke, the doors once again opened and a woman in her mid twenties walked in. She stopped at Jake's side and held out her hand and gave him a sad smile.

"Hello, Jake." Sun Park introduced herself. "My name is Sun Park, but I insist that you call me Sun. Miss or Master Park is too formal. I am terribly saddened to hear about your grandfather. He was a great dragon."

"Thanks…" Jake said as he shook Sun's hand. Sun lowered her head and stepped back as the guards forced Rose over so that she was standing before the council.

"According to Dragon Long…" Andam spoke. "You have completely turned your back on the Huntsclan and that not only did you save him after he was attacked by Councilor Chang, but that you also defended him from the Dark Dragon. Is that true?"

"Y—Yes…" Rose managed.

"And why would you do that?" Kulde asked. Jake was rather surprised that the council members' tones of voices were not hostile or angry, but confusion.

"Well…" Rose started, but she stopped. It was obvious that she was nervous. "Well…I found out that the American Dragon was Jake, sir."

"You know him?" Andam asked.

"Yes…" Rose answered. She seemed to be getting more comfortable. "He goes to my school. We have somewhat of a relationship. I don't want to hurt Jake."

Andam and Kulde seemed to consider this for a moment. Finally, Kulde spoke. "Remove her handcuffs."

"What?" the dragon guards demanded in unison; Jake and Rose were both equally shocked.

"Release her." Kulde repeated. "She is the first ever Huntsclan member to break through the mind control and to rebel against their clan. She could be a valuable asset in our battle against them."

One of the dragon guards grumbled as they removed the key from their belt and unlocked Rose's shackles.

"And we would be more than willing to offer her a full pardon…" Andam continued. "…if she swears to use her abilities for our cause…"

Rose's eyes widened. "Y—Yes!" she exclaimed. "Of course! Of course I will help…"

"We are happy to hear that…" Andam smiled. "But…there is one more thing that we think you would like to know. All dragon officials are aware of this, but no Huntsclan trainees or apprentices are."

"Where are you going with this?" Rose could feel her heart pounding against her chest.

"As it turns out…" Kulde said. "The Huntsgirl, as well as all other Huntsclan members were kidnapped at birth from their real parents. And the reason is right on your wrist…"

Jake's jaw nearly dropped to the floor as Rose looked down at her birthmark. "But…" she finally said after a moment. "But the Huntsman told me that my parents died…"

"That was part of the brainwashing…" Andam told her. "They tell you that they are all that you have…and then they fill your heart and mind with hatred for our kind."

"But…" Sun spoke up again from her corner. "Why don't you tell that to the other Huntsclan members that are captured?"

"Because…" Andam answered. "They are either adults who know, don't care and keep up the tradition…or they are young and in denial."

Rose lowered her hand and looked up at the council. "So…" she asked. "What you're telling me is that…I have a family?"

&*%

Huntsboy held a tracking device in his hands as he walked through Central Park. The red, blinking dot…he was getting closer and closer and closer to it. Huntsboy could feel it.

After a couple more minutes, the device told Huntsboy that he was right in front of the Huntsman. Huntsboy lowered the device and gasped as he saw the Huntsman lying on the grass.

Huntsboy ran over to his side and bent over, checking his body over. Huntsboy finally placed his fingers on the Huntsman's neck. Nothing.

Standing up, Huntsboy pressed a button on his device, omitting a hologram of the female Huntsclan master. "What have you found, Huntsboy?"

"I found the Huntsmaster, mistress…" Huntsboy reported. "He's dead. Mistress, if I am not mistaken, then that means that…you are the new Huntsmistress…"

Although it was just a small hologram, Huntsboy could see a look of joy in Huntsmistress' eyes. "Well done, Huntsboy." She said. "Report back to the Huntslair…"

THE END

A/N: So, once again, this concludes the story, but not really. Yes, "Chinatown Dragon" is going to be a trilogy. At least, maybe. I'm really disappointed with the lack of hits, and have also become disappointed with the lack of reviews (Thanks Luiz for reviewing every chapter). As a result, I will not post the third story until I get at least four reviews for this chapter.

Yeah, I don't know what you think about this. It was so much easier to picture the Dragon Council telling Rose that she was kidnapped in my head.

So, please review.
