Chapter 8: Misjudgments

Dave watched between his "masters" as the tension in the air built. "Master," Dave said. "Yes?" Huntsmaster said. "Perhaps this is my chance to slay a dragon," Dave said. "Thorn's as well," Dave added. "Very well Dave and Thorn. Prove yourselves," Huntsmaster said.

Dave walked towards Jake. "I am not going to hurt any of you," Dave mouthed. Jake nodded to show that he understood. Dave then formed an idea. "Jake, grab me and fly away with the others," Dave mouthed. Jake nodded and quietly and quickly, passed on the message.

"He works for them!" Laoshi told Jake then jumped at Dave. "G! No!" Jake yelled. Dave and Laoshi struggled against each other as the other members of the Huntsclan fought Jake and Haley. Rose ran out of the room, only to appear moments later in her Huntsgirl uniform. She ran to Dave and started to fight Laoshi.

Jake knocked out a few members while Haley took out only two. Dave ran to Jake. "Don't let them see me," Dave said and Jake nodded. Dave ran out and Jake stepped in front of the door.

A black dragon then entered the building. "The Dark Dragon!" Haley screamed. Jake saw the dragon and was ready to fight it. The dragon however flew up to Jake and said softly, "It is me, Dave." "For real?" Jake asked. "Yeah. I know I look like the Dark Dragon but, I guess that is the way things go," Dave said.

Dave fought alongside Jake and Haley. After a few more minutes of battle, Laoshi told the others to go. When they arrived at the apartment, Laoshi took Dave up onto the roof for a talk.

Jake and Haley stayed on the first floor to tell Fu Dog about what happened. "So, you mean to tell me that this kid looks like the Dark Dragon?" Fu asked. "Yes. Does this mean he is a decendant of him or what?" Jake asked.

"Why didn't you tell me that you worked for the Huntsclan?" Laoshi yelled at Dave. "Because it could seriously destroy my cover. I was planning on telling you later," Dave told him. "Why do you look like the Dark Dragon?" Laoshi asked him in a calmer tone. "Yes, why do you look like me?" a sinister voice said, followed by evil laughter.
