Chapter 31: The Finale

Dave ran holding onto Rose. "Dave! Get on the train now!" he heard Jake yell, the train already in motion. "There is no way for me to get on!" Dave yelled. "NO!" Jake yelled before pulling inside, closing the door. The structure of the building was starting to collapse all around Dave.

Haley, Jake, and Laoshi stood in despair. "What will happen to Dave?" Haley asked. "I'm not sure," Jake said. Then they heard a door open. "Dave!" Haley said excitedly. The train shook from the explosion. "Get down!" Dave yelled, setting Rose on the ground and grabbing Haley and forcing her to the floor. The explosion finished and Dave got up slightly. "That is what took you so long?" Jake asked angrily, seeing Rose on the floor, unconscious.

"Yes," he said. "She was poisoned," he said, pulling out the antidote out from his pocket. "And you made that!" Jake asked angrily again. "No wonder it took you so long!" he said. "Yes, this is the antidote," he said, injecting it into Rose. "Come on, please work, come on, wake up Rose!" Dave said after giving the shot. Rose's eyes opened. "Where am I?" she asked. Dave smiled and stood up. "It is over," Jake said. "No, I got to find my brother," Dave said and Jake gave a questioning look but nodded. Rose saw Jake. "Thanks everyone," she said and Jake then found himself smiling and hugging Rose. "You are safe now Rose," Jake said.

The train then shook. "We are coming off the rails!" Laoshi exclaimed. "No, something tells me something just got on with us," Dave said. "I'll go check it out," Jake said. Rose then stood up. "I am coming with you," Laoshi said. Jake nodded and they left. They entered the last compartment to see the Dark Dragon. "No," Jake said.

"Nice to see you again," the Dark Dragon said with a smile. "Jake go!" Laoshi yelled. Jake turned and they both ran. They then got to the compartment where Dave and the other two were at. They tried to open the door but it was locked.

Jake started pounding on the window of the door. "Dave open the door!" he yelled. "We can't, it's locked!" Rose said. "No!" Jake said hitting the window. Then, Dave turned when he heard Haley ask, "What is going on?" "Stay back!" Dave said. Haley nodded and moved away from the door. Then Dave turned when he heard something bashing the door. He moved out of the way just when the door flew open, revealing the Dark Dragon. Haley gave a scream. "What in the world," Rose yelled. "Jake! Gramps! Where are you!" Dave yelled.

Jake was crouched on top of the train with Laoshi in front of him and looked back after hearing the door bashed open. "G! We have to do something," Jake yelled.

Dave heard a grate moved out and he looked back to see Haley and Rose crawling through the hole. "What are you doing?" Dave called out. "We can stop this train," Haley said. "Haley! Rose!" Dave said sternly. "Trust us!" Rose yelled out to Dave. Dave nodded. "Alright, you want to get someone? I'm right here! Come on!" Dave said to the Dark Dragon.

Haley and Rose looked around for the button or switch to stop the train with. "I don't see it anywhere," Rose said.

The trap door on the roof opened forcefully. Jake and Laoshi came down. "MIss us?" Jake asked. "I'll stop this thing," he said, pulling a switch back. The train then started to screech to a halt. It finally stopped after a few seconds. Jake, Haley, Laoshi, and Rose left out the door on the side. "Dave where are you?" Rose called out. "I'm right here," Dave said meeting them at the front of the train. "We are safe now," Haley said. The Dark Dragon then said, "You are not leaving!" "RUN!" Rose yelled and all five of them ran, the Dark Dragon flying right behind them. They hit the ground after they got out of the train tunnel and the Dark Dragon flew past them. He angrily flew away after missing such an easy pray. "This isn't over! I'll be back!" he yelled.

Dave helped Haley up and Jake helped Rose up. Laoshi stood up and they all looked towards the sun rising. "We are safe," Dave said. "What now?" Rose asked. "Well, I have to go and find my brother that the Dark Dragon mentioned about," Dave said. Jake smiled, "Well, let's go for now young ones," Laoshi said and the other four nodded. "Let's go relax for a little bit without training," Jake said. "I had enough fighting for now. Don't need to do any fighting for a while, especially against someone that can beat me like Jake," Dave said and they all walked off towards the sunrise, laughing.
