Ch. 10 Lost
An hour after Rose was taken.
"What are we going to do?" asked Fu
"We are going to save Rose." Said Jake
"And how do you plan on doing that?" asked gramps
"With Fu." Said Jake holding up the scraps of the Dark Apprentices uniform that stuck to his tail
"Gotcha kid. Let me just give it a big whiff." Said Fu taking the cloth and smelling it up and down "I've got one word for this kid deodorant."
"So can you find him?" asked Jake
"Yeah, he smells of the docks. We go there and I will be able to find him." Said Fu "It'll also give me a chance to use my new fighting crime suit."
An hour later they were at the docks with Jake, gramps, Brianna, and Fu. Fu was dressed in a suit that reminded Jake of the Huntsclans uniforms. He said there were pockets which he hid many potions.
"Here we are, I can smell him here. Dock number 13." Said Fu
"Lets go. Be silent and don't attack until I give the sign." Said gramps
They crept through the night and gramps stationed them strategically around the old abandoned warehouse. Jake was at the back of the warehouse he was watching through an old dirty window. From there he could see Rose tied to a chair and the Hanta Maho questioning her.
Jake sat there waiting for gramps signal, when they started chanting and a vortex started to open. Then there was a huge explosion and the signal had been sent. Jake ripped open the wall and flew at the closest member, using his tail to knock him off the second floor. The vortex was the size of a minivan and started sucking things into it. Brianna was battling two members off to the side and gramps was battling the Dark Hunter and two other members, there was only one person protecting and it was the Dark Apprentice. Jake took the opportunity and struck he jumped down and grabbed the boy from the back of his neck and threw him into some boxes. He went to Rose and cut the ropes that held her, once free she pulled the tape off her mouth.
"It's a trap Jake you have to run." Said Rose
"What kind of trap?" asked Jake
"There going to send you into the portal." Said Rose
"Brianna take Rose and get out of here." Said Jake to Brianna who had just came to his side
"But what about you?" asked Brianna
"I have to go and get gramps and Fu. Now go." Said Jake
She grabbed Rose and flew out through the hole Jake had made. He turned and saw that behind the boxes was a strange cannon, not like the one that killed Mr. Sekushi, this one was a lot smaller. The one operating the cannon was the Dark Apprentice and he was aiming the cannon at gramps. Jake ran at the Dark Apprentice but was knocked aside by a piece of steel. The Dark Apprentice fired the cannon and an orange beam shot and hit gramps in the chest. It did not kill him but instead made him immobile the Dark Apprentice controlled gramps to move into the portal.
"No." roared Jake as he flung himself at the Dark Apprentice and bit into his right shoulder spilling blood everywhere
The Dark Apprentice howled in pain fell to the floor in pain. Jake grabbed the controls of the cannon and fired them at the chanting members sending them into the vortex. As he did the vortex closed, leaving only Jake, Fu, the Dark Hunter, and the Dark Apprentice crying on the floor.
"Good bye dragon." Said the Dark Hunter as he pushed two buttons on his wrist
As he pushed the second one he and the Dark Apprentice teleported away, the first button set off a timer to a bomb.
"Come on Fu dog lets get out of here." Said Jake as he grabbed Fu and flew off through the hole that gramps had made
As he flew off the warehouse explode sending burning debris flying everywhere. Jake had trouble dodging the debris but managed to not drop Fu. He caught up with Brianna and Rose about three miles away, heading towards the shop.
"What happened? Where is Lou Shi?" asked Brianna
Jake did not answer he was too sad and mad to talk.
"The Hanta Maho sent him to a different plain. I heard the Dark Hunter tell gramps that the vortex led to the dark plain. Little is known of the dark plain, alls we know is that it's the most dangerous plain." Said Fu
"How are we going to save him?" asked Brianna
"Well we need a powerful magic book that contains the spell to open the portal. The only place I could think of that would have such a powerful spell would be at Eli Pandaris pad." Said Fu
"So then we are going to have to break into Pandaris' pad and steal the book." Said Jake "So who's coming?"
"I am. He is my master and I will do anything to save him." Said Brianna
"He is my best friend do you even need to ask." Replied Fu
"He got lost trying to save me, so I'm going to help save him." Said Rose
"We will go tomorrow night. So get some rest because this will be tough. Fu go and get Spud and Trixie give them a power boost, if you know what I mean." Said Jake
"I gotcha kid." Said Fu
Jake dropped off Fu at the shop and headed home. He increased the spells around his house and then went up to his room and went up to his room where Brianna was waiting for him.
"How do you expect to get inside of Pandaris' tower? Fu dog told me he already knows your face and is one of the most powerful wizards he's ever seen." Said Brianna
"I have the element of surprise. And also I wont be alone, two dragons, a ninja, and a magical dog. Pandaris doesn't even know about my new skills or probably not even about you. I have learned to use magic and have made amazing spells. I have also made spells for breaking into magical places. Pandaris doesn't stand a chance." Said Jake "Believe in me and believe in yourself."
Brianna did not question him anymore, but just laid there worried in Jakes arms.
In the morning Jake woke before Brianna so he left without waking her and headed to the roof thinking he could get some training in. He was astound to find Rose
"Hi, I just came up to train." Said Rose
"So did I. Why don't we train together?" asked Jake
"Alright." Said Rose as she went into a martial arts stance
She jumped at Jake and tried to kick him, but he easily blocked her kick and grabbed her ankle throwing her to the ground.
"To slow. You're to quick to attack, you must think strategically and plan out your attack." Said Jake
She got up dusted herself off and went back into her stance watching Jake. She leaped and started throwing punches and kicks, but could not land a finger on Jake. He would dodge every one of her attacks and usually with one move send her to the ground. They sparred for an hour before they decided to call it quits.
"You are an amazing fighter." Said Rose
"So are you. It's just my training as a dragon has made me stronger and faster than any human." Said Jake
The rest of the day went along without anything interesting happening. It was close to midnight and they gathered at the shop.
"So does everybody know what there doing?" asked Jake
They all nodded in agreement. Jake could see the doubt in there eyes and understood what they where feeling.
"Don't worry I have everything covered." Said Jake
"I've got these suits for Rose, Spud, Trixie, and myself. They will be useful when we sneak in to Pandaris tower." Said Fu holding up a black suit that looked like the Huntsclans outfit, but all black.
They left the shop and headed for the manhole. From there they headed to a secret entrance to Padaris tower.
"All right Jakey. We're going to are thing." Said Trixie
"Remember, you have to be silent." Said Jake
"Don't worry Jake. We'll be quiet as a slug." Said Spud
They snuck into the tower through the secret entrance where they found themselves inside a parking garage.
"Ok, from here we go to the library and then we have to find the secret entrance. Where he keeps the magical books." Said Fu
They found an elevator at the other end of the parking garage.
"Lets hope Spud and Trixie have gotten to the security room." Said Fu
He approached the door and it automatically opened
"Yo, Jake when the door opens go straight and take the third left and then the second right. It will be the first door on the right. We'll meet you there." Said Spud
The door opened and there was no movement outside.
"Lets go." Said Jake
They ran out and were about to take the third left when Jake heard footsteps, he stopped them and used magic to see around the corner where three trolls were approaching. Jake jumped out and punched the first troll in the throat and jump kicked the second in the head, not wanting to kill them. The third jumped at Jake but was tackled by Brianna and beaten unconscious.
Jake jumped over there bodies and ran to the library. The library was huge, three stories tall and was bigger then the gym at Jakes school. Standing next to the fireplace, decorated with dragons, was Spud and Trixie.
"What took you? We've been waiting." Said Trixie
"Just a pest problem. Have you found the secret entrance?" asked Jake
"Yeah. Its right here." Said Spud as he grabbed the dragons' tail and the fire extinguished and the back wall opened up to show a smaller darker room. Old books and potions lined the walls and a giant mirror.
"Good we'll need a flat smooth surface to create a portal." Said Fu
"How are going to find the book?" asked Rose
"The book should be old. Really old and written in a strange language." Said Fu
"Do you see that Fu?" asked Jake pointing to a black book that was glowing
"See what? Alls I see is books." Said Fu
"I see it." Said Brianna "That book is glowing."
"Maybe it is your dragon eyes." Said Fu
He grabbed the book and flipped through it.
"This is the book. Here the spell." Said Fu
They stationed themselves around the mirror and started chanting the spell and the mirror started glowing.
"Now we need blood." Said Fu
Jake lifted his hand a cut his wrist and let a few drops of blood fall before he used magic to heal it. As the drops of blood landed the mirror started to swirl and such things in.
"All right Fu bring the book with you. We will need the spell to return." Said Jake
Fu slipped the book inside the book in his uniform and they all jumped into the portal and into the unknown.
