Ok, who's ready for a new chapter? There should be another on soon 'cause I gotta go on vacation this Friday for 2 weeks or so. Anyway, enjoy these chapters!

Chapter II: The Haunted

21 years had passed since the death of the Huntsmaster. Rose still, somewhere inside her, missed him. He was a very wicked man, and sometimes she felt as if he was still there… watching her, angrily… she dare not look behind her. "Huntsgirl…" Rose heard a deep taunting voice.

"Who dares call me that?" She looks behind her in horror. It was the Huntsmaster! His eyes were blood red and he had claws like Wolverine's from X-men. His cape was torn up and his armor was made entirely of dragon-bone. His hands were nothing but his bones and in the light; she saw a skull under his mask. A human skull. "AAAIIIIIEEEEE!" She screams. Jake flies in as a dragon before touching Rose' shoulder.

"Rose, what's wrong? I heard you scream."

"The… the Huntsmaster!" Jake looks around.

"Where? I don't see him."

"What? He was right here!"

"Rose… Rose… snap out of it! The Huntsmaster is dead. He has been for 21 years!"

"Y, you're right… I guess I was just imagining things… (I hope)" she said. (Might I suggest listening to the Sleepy Hollow song while reading to this?)

… … … … …

Far beneath the earth, the skeletal arms of dead Huntsclan members rip through the ground as skeletons with shredded ninja suits crawl from even farther below. The smiling skeletons of the dead Huntsclan kneel down to the Zombie Huntsmaster. "Today is the day my fellow clan members! The curse has begun! The fall of dragons is now!"

"HUZAH!" They cheer.

"Draw your weapons! We have our first target. MWAH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

"Death to dragons, death to all!" They scream. They burst their hands through the ground of Central Park, as people run away screaming. "Death to dragons, death to all!" They shout again. The Huntsmaster floats in the air glowing purple and scares away the masked children.

"Happy Halloween. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" (Yes it's Halloween there.) They all march to the largest building, where Rose made her new HQ. "Huntsgirl… your betrayal is not forgotten.

"Mistress Rose! You won't believe this! There's a whole army of skeletons outside! And what's worse, they're leaded by the Huntsmaster!" Rose was wide eyed.

"No… no it can't be!" The Huntsmaster with his army busts down the door.

"Your betrayal is all but forgotten girl!" Rose tries to kick him but he moves. He grabs her by her neck, she gasps for air.

"ROSE!" Jake rushes in and knocks the Zombie back. His mask falls of and he sees rotted flesh on a skull with blood-red eyes.

"The American Dragon." Jake shoots a cold stare before burning the Huntsmaster Zombie, boiling the rotted flesh off him. He stares angrily at Jake and Rose. His army quickly dissolves as they walk into the bright light.

"Wha?"

"They're weaklings." The Huntsmaster extends his claws out at the two. Rose throws a dagger at him in defense. He quickly back-flips and dodges it. Jake quickly grabs the Huntsmaster's claws and snaps them in half.

"What now?" The Huntsmaster summons a sword and cuts Jake's arm, he screams in pain. Huntsmaster then stabs his sword into Jake's wing, making him morph out of his dragon form.

"Bah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! It's over!"

"Not unless I'm the one to end it."

"Felix Dark?" Asks Rose.

"You know me as the Dark One. But Felix Dark is my real name. The Huntsmaster here seems to forget what I resurrected him for!"

"To end the dragon legacy."

"No Huntsmaster, to weaken Jake Long! You have overstayed your welcome!" Felix's eyes flash red and The Huntsmaster turns to dust. "Jake Long… you look so pitiful. So weak. Now to end the great dragon protector!"

"NO!" Rose gets in the way and is hit with a large plasma blast.

"Rose! You…!" Jake morphed into a dragon and picked Felix up by his neck. Felix struggled for air before turning into a snake and dropping to the floor and transforming into his normal self.

"Hrah!" Felix cut Jake across his face and kicked him to the floor. "Another day Jake. Another day…" Felix then morphed into a bat and flew away. Jake got up and carried rose to the intensive care area.

… … … … …

"Jake Long will never survive this new pawn of mine… ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Boogeyman, let the terror begin!"
