American Dragon: Haley Long (Season Two)
Chapter/Episode 11: Slayinator
In the dark, cold night, a loud, persistent flapping could be heard as a dragon soared high in the sky. The dragon was a blood-red color, and on his side, was a Chinese dragon. In his claws, there was a large burlap sack that was over-filled. Taking a nose dive, the blood red dragon landed on the ground, right in front of a very small wooden shack.
Opening the door, the red dragon reverted to his human form before he stepped inside. Closing the door behind him, The Hunter turned and walked farther into the room just as a bright blue light came from the other side of the room.
At the other end, the thief was bent over a large table, holding a blow torch, which she was using on something. "I have everything that is needed..." The Hunter announced, and the thief turned off the blowtorch and looked up at him.
"Good..." She told him. "...Because he's done..."
"Let me see..." The Hunter growled, striding over to the table. Looking down, The Hunter inspected what was on the table; a body of about above average height that was made completely out of metal. "You couldn't have done better?" The Hunter asked. "How about making him more realistic?"
"It's a robot..." the thief rolled her eyes. "...And I specialize in weapon making, not people..."
"Oh..." The Hunter said with mock disappointment. "...Well, isn't that too bad? Seeing as your completely worthless, I'll just have to hide the fact that your creation is a creation..."
"How do you plan to do that?"
The Hunter did not verbally answer her; instead, he reached into the sack and pulled out a blood red ninja uniform and mask, identically similar to the one he was wearing. "I guess you can say that the Huntsclan will rise again..." The Hunter finally said. "...Let's just say that my last couple of defeats at the hands of Haley Long really put things in perspective for me..."
"You mean you're giving up?" the thief asked, a hint of joy evident in her tone. "So, I take it I can go..." Without any confirmation, the thief started to walk up to The Hunter and by him, but The Hunter held up his hand, stopping her as he grabbed her shoulder.
"I guess you could say that, but you aren't going anywhere..." The Hunter told her. "...That mistake I made when I brainwashed that dragon helped me realize that I'll never be able to get the Hourglass as long as Haley Long is breathing air...and as long as it is on that island. Why waste my time when I can create an army of Huntsclan robots?"
"You want me to make them..." the thief wasn't asking a question; she knew it was simply fact.
"Yes..." The Hunter replied, pushing her back. "...Your first creation will be a test. I will use it to end the life of Haley, and if all goes as planned, you will create me an army. Once you have completed my army, you will be free to go..."
"That could take years!" the thief growled.
"Well, then you better get started..." The Hunter replied, walking over to the table where the robot was lying. "...But fortunately for you, I am patient. Now, how do you turn this thing on?"
"Look at the left foot..." the thief growled, and The Hunter looked down at the left robotic foot, chuckling as he noticed a switch on it.
"That's very clever..." The Hunter stated as he flicked the switch; The Hunter then stood back as the robot stood up, several pauses and twitches occurred as it stood. "...It looks like it needs a little work...But we'll work on that later. Soldier! You are now under my command!" Then, The Hunter turned and walked over to the wall, where a Huntsclan staff was. Grabbing the staff, The Hunter held it close. "Our mission...slay the American Dragon..."
BLACKOUT; PLAY THEME SONG
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
A low pitched whistle could be heard as a baseball soared through the air, landing with a thud on the grass of Central Park. A jingling could be heard as Fu Dog rushed up to the ball, grabbing it in his mouth. Then, Fu turned and ran a couple feet, where Leah was standing. Fu dropped the ball at Leah's feet, but as the girl tried to bend over and pick it up, Fu rolled it back closer to him with his paw, and he lied down on his belly, protecting the ball with his teeth, looking up at Leah.
"Alright..." Leah said, slowly rising to her feet. "...Forget it, Fu. I'm done playing with you." Fu tried to pout, but Leah did not buy it; instead, she turned around and looked out several feet away, where both Haley and Sun were sparring with each other in their respective dragon forms. Just as Sun brought her arm out, catching Haley off guard and knocking her down, Fu Dog got up a nudged Leah's wrist, making her turn her head and look down at the dog. "What?"
"I'm sorry..." Fu apologized, trying to make sure that Leah could see his puppy dog eyes that were filled with sadness.
"Fu, I told you..." Leah replied. "...I'm not playing that way. You are the animal..."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Sorry..." Leah quickly apologized, realizing that what she said was out of line. "...It's just...I don't like playing that kind of game with you. Just give me the ball."
"Leah..." Leah suddenly jerked her head to the side at the sound of Haley's voice, and a moment later, Haley walked over to her in human form. Haley's arms were over her head, she was panting heavily, and she was sweating. "...What are you doing here?"
"I got bored..." Leah replied sheepishly. "...So...I...decided to come here..."
"You don't have to be ashamed..." Haley told her, lowering her arms. "...I just assumed that you would be spending time with Destiny. Aren't...aren't you two...you know...an item now?"
"No!" Leah shouted at Haley harshly, but perhaps too harshly. When she saw Haley's surprised expression, Leah's annoyed look faded and was replaced with an apologetic one. "Haley, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay..." Haley told her.
"No..." Leah told her quickly. "...It's not. I shouldn't have snapped at you. It's just...I feel weird when I'm with her..."
"Maybe it means you're in love..." Fu Dog cooed, and Leah frowned.
"Fu Dog, this is serious..." Haley told the dog. "...We can't all be heartless users like you. Leah, listen to me..." Haley turned her attention to Leah. "...Leah, you are obviously feeling something for Destiny. You shouldn't avoid her. You never know...maybe she could be feeling the same way..."
"You really think so?" Leah asked.
"I'm posi..." Haley started to say, but before she could, she heard a ringing coming from her pocket. Reaching into her pocket, Haley pulled out her communication device, just as a holographic image of Destiny's head appeared. "Oh, hey Destiny..." Haley smiled slightly.
"Hey, Haley..." Destiny returned. "...Listen, I've been trying to contact Leah for about a day now, but she won't pick up. I was wondering if you know where she is?"
Haley could see Leah giving her a beheading signal with her hand going across her throat, and she quickly mouthed the words "I'm not here". Nevertheless, Haley replied: "She's right her, Destiny. Here, I'll let you talk to her." Then, as she passed the communication device to an angry looking Leah, she replied in a very small voice: "Sorry, but it's against my nature to lie..."
Now scowling, Leah took the device away from Haley and spoke: "What?"
"Leah, where were you?" Destiny asked, but she then sighed. "Never mind. Look, our project is due next week and we haven't even started on the paper, not to mention that we hardly have any research..."
"Destiny, I'm not feeling well..." Leah lied quickly.
"Then why are you with Haley?" Destiny asked. "Look, we need to get this done. Unless you want us to fail, you need to come down to my place..."
Haley watched as Leah mumbled something in response, and although Haley could not understand what she had said, Haley assumed that Leah had given in, as Leah shot her an angry glare before she turned and walked off.
"Yeah..." Fu muttered as Leah disappeared out of sight. "...I'd say that that Destiny girl really has feelings for her..."
"Haley..." Both Fu And Haley suddenly turned around at the sound of Sun's voice, and they could see that Sun was walking over to them in her dragon form. "...You have been doing well today. I'd just like to do one more drill, and then I will let you go home..."
"Alright, Sun..." Haley agreed with a sigh, and she quickly transformed into her pink dragon form.
"...Then..." Sun added. "...There is one more thing. The Dragon Council has ordered to teach you a very special technique..."
"What, Sun?" Haley asked, now interested.
"First, we finish training..." Sun told her.
LINE BREAK
"HIYAH!" Haley was standing in front of a wooden post, slashing at it with her claws. Just as the post started to look like it had been a cat's scratching post for about five years, Haley lifted off of the ground and slammed her tail into it, ripping it from the dirt and making it fly a couple inches into the air before it landed on the grass.
"Well done, Haley..." Sun commented as Haley landed back on the ground and turned to face her Dragon Master. "...Now, before you go home, there is one more thing that I need to teach you..."
"What's that?" Haley asked.
"Come here, and I'll show you..." Sun told her.
Complying, Haley walked over to Sun, just as her Dragon Master held out her claws. "Don't worry, Haley..." Sun told her. "...I'm going to give it back to you..."
Haley was about to ask what Sun was talking about, but just as she opened her mouth, Sun spoke again: "Watch me carefully. The Dragon Council believes that you may need to know this ability..." Then, Haley's eyes widened in horror as she saw her pink dragon chi being ripped from her body. Even as she was lifted off of her feet and her human form appeared, Haley tried her best to keep her eyes on Sun. Sun's claws were pointed, and she gently pulled her hand back as Haley fell to the grass, landing on her knees. "Did you see that?" Sun asked.
"Yes..." Haley answered, slowly rising to her feet.
"Good..." Sun told her, throwing the chi back at her. Haley grunted as she felt her chi hit her, and in a swirling, bright pink light, she was in her dragon form once again. "...Now you use this technique on me..." Sun told her. "Go on..." Sun encouraged when she saw the surprised look on Haley's face.
"Are you sure?" Haley asked, only to be answered with a nod from Sun. "...Alright..." Haley slowly lifted her arm and claws, and using the same hand motion that Sun had used, Haley closed her eyes, pulling her arm back slowly. Opening her eyes, Haley expected to have her master's dragon chi hovering beside her, but to her surprise...nothing.
"What?" Haley asked, surprised, glancing at Sun for an answer.
"It's alright, Haley..." Sun told her, walking over to her pupil and putting her claws on Haley's shoulder. "...Very few dragons get it on their first try. Throughout the next few days, we'll keep on trying. Okay?"
Despite her disappointment, which she tried to hide by looking down at the ground, Haley said: "Alright, Sun..."
LINE BREAK
Now alone, Haley was no longer afraid to show her disappointment over her failure. Now flying home, Haley's eyes were narrowed, her fists were clenched, and there was a scowl on her face. "Why couldn't I do it?" Haley demanded, now ranting to herself. "I mean...I never fail! I've always mastered dragon tricks on my first try! Why can't I get this stupid one down? Stupid Dragon Council...Stupid...Sun's dragon chi!"
"My, my..." Haley suddenly came to a screeching halt in the air at the sound of an all too familiar voice. Turning around, Haley growled as she saw The Hunter, in his human form, standing on the roof of a home. His staff was in his hand, and Haley could tell that he was grinning from behind his mask. "...You really are a piece of work, dragon..."
"Did you have to show your ugly dragon hide right now?" Haley growled. "I'm not in the mood..."
"Obviously..."
Haley growled once again, and then she found herself shouting at him: "You know what? Let's just get this over with! I'm going to fight you, and kicking your butt will make me feel better!"
"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint, Haley..." The Hunter replied. "...But I'm not much in the fighting mood. So...I'll just have to let my friend slay you tonight..."
"Wha...?" Haley started to ask, but before she could even finish her one word sentence, she got her answer when The Hunter ducked, and there was a flash of dark red that came from above him. The next thing Haley knew, she yelled out in both shock and pain as she felt something heavy slam into her chest.
Grunting, Haley felt herself crashing onto her back on the ground, and looking up, her eyes widened in horror as she found a second uniformed Huntsclan member standing over her. "No..." Haley muttered in horror. "...It...It can't be!"
It was, though, and the new Huntsclan member was now pointing The Hunter's staff at her chest, just as green plasma started to glow from the tip...
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Haley's eyes were wide with fear as the new Huntsclan member pointed the glowing staff at her, but before the new hunter could fire at her, Haley could see that The Hunter landed on his feet after jumping from the building.
"What are you waiting for?" The Hunter demanded. "End her!"
The new Huntsclan member returned his attention back to Haley and pressed the blade of the staff against her throat. Now more terrified than she had ever been in her entire life, Haley squeezed her eyes shut, her heart racing; she had to do something, or else she was going to die. Then, without even realizing what she was doing, she felt her power slowly start to leave her. Slowly opening her eyes, Haley was surprised to see five pink dragons standing around her; doppelgangers of her.
The new Huntsclan member seemed to be surprised as well, for he lowered the staff, just as the five Haley doppelgangers released five fire blasts at the same time. The flames hit the new Huntsclan member, sending him flying backwards as Haley quickly got up. Flapping her wings, Haley flew off.
"No!" The Hunter shouted, flipping over to where his staff was. Grabbing it, The Hunter took a proper position as he aimed the staff at the fleeing pink dragon. "Say goodbye, Haley..."
However, before he could fire, he grunted as one of the Haley doppelganger slammed its tail into the side of his head. As The Hunter hit the ground, the robot Huntsclan member slowly stood up, just staring at The Hunter as one of the Haley doppelgangers wrapped its tail around his ankle, pulling him across the cement and leaving him dangling upside-down as the five doppelgangers started to surround him in a small circle.
"Follow her!" The Hunter shouted. "Find her, and then slay her! I order you! She'll lead you right to her master and that dog!"
The Hunter was now completely hidden from view, and the robot Huntsclan member turned and ran down the street.
LINE BREAK
Leah sighed as she sat next to Destiny in her room in front of a table. Destiny had four books in front of her, and she had opened open; as Destiny read, Leah felt herself shiver with discomfort. "You know that you can open up one of these books yourself, right?" Destiny asked, looking at Leah.
"Oh..." Leah pretended to be surprised, and she reached out and grabbed one of the books. Well... She thought. ...At least it will make this go by faster...
However, before Leah could even open the book, she turned her head as the door to the room opened, and she was surprised to see that Haley was standing at the door in human form, panting. "Haley..." Leah closed the book and set it down, getting up and walking over to her friend. Destiny quickly followed, and she too got up from her seat and walked over to Haley.
Putting her hand on Haley's shoulder, Destiny spoke as she slowly led the still panting Haley toward a chair. "Haley, you look exhausted. What happened?"
Leah watched as Destiny sat Haley down, and she could see that Haley chanced a quick glance at the door. Leah could feel her heart rising to her throat; she couldn't help but realize that Haley was worried about something. "Haley, what's going on?" She asked, slowly walking over to her friend.
"Why do you think something happened, Leah?" Destiny asked. "She's just tired..."
"No..." Haley cut Destiny off. "No...Leah's right..."
"What happened, Haley?" Leah repeated.
"I..." Haley tried to explain, but she found that she was still too out of breath. After taking three deep breaths, Haley tried again: "I...I was attacked...by a Huntsclan member, and it wasn't The Hunter. There's another one..."
"I thought your brother's girlfriend got rid of them..." Leah said slowly.
"She did..." Haley replied quickly. "That's why I don't understand this..." She brought her hands to her face. "...It doesn't make sense..."
"Well, Haley..." Leah crossed her arms. "...I really only have one question..."
"Yeah?" Haley looked at Leah, lowering her hands. "What would that be?"
"You ran away from him right?"
"Yeah..."
"And he's probably following you, right?"
"Probably..."
"THEN WHY DID YOU COME HERE!" Leah finished, now shouting at the top of her lungs, making Haley cringe and Destiny cover her ears with her hands. "I mean..." Leah was no longer shouting, but it was still obvious that she was angry. "...Why did you put us in danger?"
"That's the thing, Leah..." Haley slowly got up from her chair. "...We should be safe here. With my doppelgangers, I think I stalled them long enough. Hopefully, they completely lost me..."
"Oh..." Leah's face softened, and Haley could tell that she was no longer angry.
"While that's nice for us..." It was now Destiny's turn to speak. "...What about your Dragon Master? I'm not going to pretend to know what the Huntsclan was, but don't you think your enemies would go to that shop of yours?"
Haley's eyes widened as she heard these words. "SUN!"
LINE BREAK
At Canal Street Electronics, Sun Park was sitting on the couch, petting Fu Dog, who was chewing on a bone. Sun slowly tried to pull her hand away from the shar-pei, and just as she managed to, she started to hear a ringing noise coming from in front of her.
Reaching out, Sun grabbed the communication device that was on the table. Once she had it in her hands, she pressed a button, and Sun was surprised to see to see Haley. "Haley, shouldn't you be home?" Sun asked. "Is everything alright?"
"Sun, I was attacked!" Haley told her quickly. "By The Hunter!"
"Haley, where are you?" There was now a hint of urgency in Sun's tone. "Were you captured? Are you alright? Where are you? I'll help you..."
"I'm okay, Sun..." Haley said, giving Sun a nod, seemingly trying to tell her not to worry about her. "...It's not about me. I'm safe. I'm at Destiny's."
"Then what is it, Haley?"
"Sun..." Haley said after a short pause. "...I don't know how this happened..."
"Things like this always happen, Haley..." Sun told Haley. "...I thought you knew that by now..."
"No, there was another!" Haley explained. "The Hunter had another hunter with him!"
"What?"
"That's exactly my question!" Haley continued. "The Huntsclan's been wiped out! They've all been gone for a decade! Then, we saw The Hunter, and now this hunter. Sun, what's going on?"
"I don't know, Haley..." Sun told her, her voice quiet. "...I don't know. What I do know, though, is that we are going to find out. Just hold on. Fu Dog and I will be down there as quick as we can..."
"Alright, Sun..." Haley nodded, and within a second, her holographic image was gone.
LINE BREAK
Leah knew that she was supposed to be studying and looking for information along with Destiny, but all she could look at was Haley, who was sitting in the corner, repeatedly pulling her arm back, performing some odd motion.
"What are you doing?" Leah finally asked. She could no longer contain her curiosity.
"Leah..." Destiny groaned, but Leah didn't care. Haley was staring at her, which meant that she had gotten her attention.
"What?" Haley asked.
"What are you doing?" Leah repeated. "With your arm, I mean. It looks weird..."
"Oh, it's just something I need to learn..." Haley quickly replied, once again performing the motion.
"Why?" Leah asked.
"Because..." Haley answered, once again performing the motion. "...The Dragon Council thinks that I should know it. I have to master it..."
"But why would the Dragon Council want you to know how to do that?" Leah asked.
Haley slowly stood up, and she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly grunted as she was thrown to the floor onto her back as a large, green blast blew the front of the room to pieces. As Haley slowly sat up, she could see that both Leah and Destiny had been knocked to the floor, but nonetheless, they were fine, and as the smoke cleared, Haley could see The Hunter and the new Huntsclan member standing where the door had been.
"That's why..."
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Haley groaned as she slowly started to stand up, and she quickly glanced at both Leah and Destiny, who were also starting to stand up. Once the two other girls were standing, and one they had both walked behind Haley, taking cover, Haley returned her gaze to the two hunters.
"You really didn't think that you could get away from me, did you Haley?" The Hunter asked. "The doppelgangers were all too easy to destroy. And now...so will you..."
"I don't think so, felon!" Haley growled, and she jumped into the air, her pink dragon form appearing in a bright pink light. "You're going down!"
The Hunter did not respond. Instead, he held his staff tightly in his hand as he growled, jumping into the air, landing on his feet right in front of Haley as he swung his staff, trying to slice her with the blade. Haley managed to hover back, and she tried to slam her tail, but The Hunter managed to jump back a couple of feet, aiming his staff right at her.
The Hunter growled, raising his staff above his head, The Hunter twirled it, but before he could charge at Haley, a large fireball hit the floor, creating a wall of fire that separated the two from each other. Smiling, Haley, while the growling The Hunter both looked up to see Sun Park hovering above them, with Fu Dog on her back.
Growling, The Hunter turned his head to the second hunter. "You slay the American Dragon! I'll take her master and Animal Guardian!"
Then, before Haley could do anything, The Hunter transformed into his blood-red dragon form and flew into the air after Sun. Haley was about to follow him, but before she could, she grunted and felt herself fall back onto the floor. The new Huntsclan member had knocked her down, and now had his foot on her.
As she felt a crushing weight around the area where the hunter's foot was, Haley tried to block the pain by looking up at Sun. The Hunter was swing his staff at Sun, trying to slash her, but Sun kept avoiding the attack.
The pressure on Haley's chest started to increase, and Haley gasped out in pain. She tried to free herself from the weight, but to her surprise, she found that the hunter was just too strong. Defeated, Haley was forced to look up at the masked face of the new Huntsclan member as he started to bring his hands down to her, most likely to threaten her.
However, before this could happen, the new Huntsclan member's head was jerked back as a large book hit it. Haley managed to turned her head, and she could see that Destiny had thrown at her book, and just as Haley made eye contact with the two girls, Leah was aiming her book.
"Get away from her!" Leah growled, and she threw the book.
The book made contact with the hunter's head, and as he jerked back, he lifted his foot slightly away from Haley. This gave her the perfect opportunity to attack; opening her mouth, Haley took a deep breath and released a blast of fire, which blasted the new Huntsclan member off of her.
Taking rapid deep breath, Haley sat up just as the hunter hit the ground. Positive that he was down for good, Haley turned and looked up to see Sun still fighting The Hunter. Haley was about to take off into the air, but just as he feet left the ground, she shouted in shock as she felt something yanking on her tail.
Turning her head back, Haley could see the new Huntsclan member holding onto her tail. His uniform was blackened, and his mask was also. Roaring in anger, Haley turned and swung her claws, slashing into the hunter's mask. The mask completely fell away, and Haley gasped in surprise. There was no skin on the new Huntsclan member; it was a metal head.
"A robot?" Haley was shocked, and she could only stare at the robot as the robot lifted one hand from her tail and tried to reach for her throat. Haley tried to pull back slowly, but the hold on her tail was too strong.
"Haley!" Haley could suddenly hear Leah's voice, and Haley turned her head back just in time to see Sun fall out of the sky, landing on her back as Fu jumped off and landed on his feet, only to be blasted off of his feet as The Hunter landed on the ground. "Haley! Sun!" Leah shouted. "You have to help her!"
As Haley quickly turned her head back to the Huntsclan robot, Haley caught a glimpse of The Hunter pointing his staff at Sun. Growling, Haley grabbed hold of her tail with both of her claws, and she yanked her tail from the robot's grip.
Shouting, Haley brought her tail up over the robot's head and brought it down, slicing the robot in half down to its legs. Then, for good measure, Haley sliced it in half horizontally as well. As the rob fell to four pieces, Haley took off and slammed right into The Hunter, just as his staff started to glow.
The Hunter grunted as he hit the floor, and he could only look up as Haley performed the motion once more. However, as Haley pulled her arm back, she was surprised to see that nothing was happening. "No..." Haley gasped, and she once again performed the motion, but nothing happened yet again.
The Hunter was just staring at Haley with disbelieving eyes. "What are you doing?" He asked, dumbfounded. "Forget this..."
The next thing Haley knew, she felt a pain in her chest as The Hunter slammed his tail into her chest. Haley flew off of him, but she still managed to land on her feet. As The Hunter stood up, Haley once again tried the movement, but still, nothing happened. Then, The Hunter charged, blowing a fireball into his claws. Haley's eyes widened, and her movements became frantic, and still, nothing happened.
However, just as The Hunter was about to strike Haley, Haley quickly performed the motion again, and just as her arm came back, The Hunter stopped, and he was lifted off of the ground as his dark red dragon chi was ripped from his body. Now a human, The Hunter fell to the floor on his knees.
At first, Haley was excited, and she expected the chi to come to her claws, but she was instead surprised to see that the chi hovered over her head. Shocked, Haley turned around to see the chi hovering near Sun's claws, as Fu Dog, Leah and Destiny stood behind her.
"But..." Haley started.
"I'm sorry, Haley..." Sun said. "...He was going to..."
However, before Sun could finish, she, Fu, Leah and Destiny all looked ahead, and Haley turned around as The Hunter held his staff in his hands. He said nothing, and simply tapped his staff on the floor, disappearing in a bright green light.
LINE BREAK
In the dark shack, the thief stood over the table, another robot completed. Wiping away the sweat on her forehead, the thief stepped back, just as a green orb of light appeared in the middle of the room, and when the orb faded, The Hunter was standing in the middle of the room.
"Well?" the thief crossed her arms. "Is she dead?"
The Hunter did not reply. Instead, he held up his staff as he walked over to the newly created robot. Then, in one swift motion, he decapitated the robotic head with the blade of his staff. "What was that for?" the thief roared. "You had me work all day on that, and what do you do? You just destroy it!"
"There's been a change in plans..." The Hunter replied calmly. "...The robot was a failure..." Then, The Hunter turned away from the thief and narrowed his eyes, talking to himself: "If you think this will stop me, American Dragon...you have never been more wrong..."
LINE BREAK
The next morning, Sun park stood alone in the main hall on the Island of Draco. The Hunter's chi was in her claws, and she looked around for a few seconds, until the doors opened, and Councilor Callum entered.
"Sorry I'm late, Dragon Park..." Callum told her as he made his way by her, around the large table, and to his seat. "...Now, I understand that you have something important to give me..."
"Yes..." Sun told him, walking over to the table and putting The Hunter's dragon chi on it. "...This is the dragon chi of the Huntsclan Dragon..."
To Sun's surprise, Councilor Callum looked confused. "What do you expect us to do with it?"
"Keep it safe..."
"We already have too many dangerous valuables here, Master Park..." Callum told her. "...The dragon's prize is already here. I do not think it will be safe here..."
"Then what should be done with it?"
"Keep it at your shop..." Callum told her. "...It will be much safer there..."
LINE BREAK
"See you, Haley..." Leah said as she walked away from her friend. Haley had a glum look on her face as she watched Leah walk away from the door to Canal Street Electronics. Sighing, Haley pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Making her way to the back room, she could see Fu Dog on the couch, while Sun had her back to her; Sun was kneeling at the table, and it looked like she was working on something.
Fu Dog looked up from the bone that he was chewing on, and he greeted Haley: "Hey, kid..."
However, Haley did not answer, and simply walked over to the couch. Once she sat down on the couch, she could see what Sun was working on. It was a plastic vase, that Sun was bolting to the table. Inside, trapped, was The Hunter's dragon chi.
"Upset about yesterday, huh?" Fu asked, returning to his bone.
"Be quiet, Fu..." Haley growled.
"Haley..." Sun sighed, standing up after finishing the chi's holder. "...You don't have to take it out on Fu Dog...You know that you'll have another chance to use the technique..."
"But I failed..."
"I know it's something you're not used to, Haley..." Sun walked over To where Haley was sitting. "...But everyone messes up at different times in their lives. For example, I have made mistakes, and you have made mistakes..."
"Like what?"
"You've made plenty, Haley..." Sun told her, a small smile on her face. "...You just may not realize some of them..."
Haley could not help but feel better after hearing Sun's words. Taking a deep breath, Haley looked at the dragon chi on the table. "So, what about that..."
"The Council thinks it won't be safe on the Island of Draco..." Sun answered. "...So...I'll be looking for a place to hide it, but for now, it stays here..."
As Sun finished saying this, Haley continued watching the chi, watching as it moved around, swirling, in its small space...
BLACKOUT; END EPISODE
A/N: So, what did you think? Please review. Yeah, just so you know, the dragon chi thing will play a part in two future chapter/episodes.
