(A/N) Hi, everybody, and welcome back to Dragon Double EMCat, and YFWE, thank you very much for reviewing. I will be very happy if anybody is still here, cause I've been having the worst case of writer's block, and not updating for months on end, so, I'm going to try ending this story in this chapter, or the next. But don't worry. There is a planned sequel. So, anyway, let's get on what might be the last chapter. If not, the next one will be!
American Dragon: Jake Long, Dragon Double
By Dark Magician Boy
Chapter 10: Writing out Fate
"Haley!" Jake screamed, looking down at the purple dot.
"Fu Cat!" Cameron yelled down to the meowing speck.
"Kara!" Sara gaped down at the red headed speck.
Haley easily sprouted her dragon wings and caught Fu Cat from a straight fall.
But when she caught Kara, she was weighed down, and the three continued to fall.
Jake dove off of the stone head, and morphed to dragon form halfway down, and caught them easily, then jetted them back up.
"Ok Huntsmaster! You're going down!" Jake threatened after he had set the three down.
"On the contrary," Huntsmaster said, changing his staff into a hoverboard.
"It is you who is going down," he said, flying high in the air, and Jake with Cameron followed.
"Come on! We gotta help em'!" Fu Dog said.
He got out what looked like a giant green fireball out of his wrinkles, and threw it on Kara, Sara, and Haley.
Fu Cat summoned up a giant blue fireball, and threw it upon herself and Fu.
"This the special kind that works on animal guardians?" Fu Dog asked, and Fu Cat nodded as they all took off after Jake and Cameron.

"JAKE!" Rose screamed into the distance.
The Huntsmaster had trapped her in the temple, and there was no way she could get out.
She ran to the center scroll, and read it perfectly. It read that Huntsmaster would win if the dragons didn't have a miracle.
Rose stared at the emerald scroll furiously, and saw a pen with amethyst colored ink, and she picked it up, hoping she could do something with it.
"Come on, why won't this stupid thing work?" Rose said, frustrated, attempting to write in something else, and after several tires, she nearly exploded.
"WORK, YOU STUPID SCROLL!" She screeched at it.
Suddenly, the text faded, and she found she could write in it.
"I guess that works too," Rose said, and she prepared to write.
"What is happening right now," Rose said to herself, and she saw a crystal ball next to the giant scroll.
"Good enough," she said, walking over to the ball and waving he hands over it as a sort of fog flowed into the chamber, and into the ball.
"Show me the battle between Jake, Cameron, and the Huntsman," she said, and the mist began to swirl until it made a picture.
Jake made a sharp turn to the left, avoiding a fireball, but the fireball just turned around, and hit him in the back, and he began to plummet.
"Jake!" Cameron panicked, plunging after him, only to be hit by a fireball himself.
"Not good, not good, not good," Rose said, and she ran back to the scroll.
At that moment, the Huntsmaster's engine in the hoverboard short circuited Rose wrote onto the scroll, and she ran back to crystal ball.
Sure enough, there was an explosion from above, and she saw the Huntsmaster fall until the hoverboard repaired itself, and caught him.
"Well, at least it works," Rose said, and she ran back to the scroll.
Rose floated into the air, without wings or magic Rose said.
The ink merely dissolved into the parchment.
"Guess I can only write things that make sense," Rose said, and she continued writing.
The others had finally gotten up with them, and helped them back to the battle, Rose wrote, and she ran back.
All the others, in a turquoise blaze of magic, flew up with Jake and Cameron in their hands, but still not fully healed, so Rose ran back to the scroll again to write some more.
Fu Dog and Fu Cat pulled out healing potions, and poured them into Jake and Cameron's mouths Rose said, and she ran back to the crystal ball, exhausted.
On the ball, it showed Fu Dog and Fu Cat pouring some shining drink into the mouths of Jake and Cameron.
They flew back into the air, and fought the Huntsmaster more.
Rose, with an idea, rushed back to the scroll.
A streak of lightning came down, and it began to rain, short circuiting the board, repair system and all Rose finished, and she paced back to the ball.
Rain drops fell from the sky, and the board sparked, and the Huntsmaster fell to the ground, knocked out by the shock.
Jake caught Huntsmaster, and flew to the torch of the statue.
Cameron stuck the now morphed back staff, and Jake hung the Huntsmaster on it, as he woke up from the wetness of the rain.
"You lose," Jake said, looking into the Huntsmaster's red eyes.
"I didn't have to win. I just had to make sure you didn't," the Huntsmaster said, and he began to laugh.
"Whatchyou talkin' about Huntsy?" Trixie called down from the air.
"Rose's mind is trapped in the temple!" The Huntsmaster yelled, and they all gasped.
"Isn't there any way to get her out of there?" Fu Dog said out loud.
"Not unless you had an oracle on your hands!" The Huntsmaster laughed, and they all looked at Jade.
"What are all of you looking at me for? I can read the future kind of well, but I'm pretty bad at actually retrieving something from the temple!" Jade yelled.
"Well, let's go find out. In the mean time, you just stay here," Jake said to the Huntsmaster, and they all flew off, leaving him at the very top of the Statue of Liberty.

"We need Rose. She has the potion!" Sara said, as they all paced the room constantly.
"I'll try to go and get her. But, I might only get half of her mind. She'd be half crazy!" Jade said, very scared for Rose.
"Then can't somebody go with you?" Jake asked.
"Well, sure, if they wanted to end up," Jade started, but Jake interrupted her.
"I'll go with you. Whatever it costs, I'm willing to pay," Jake said.
Jade attempted to persuade him out of it, not telling him the extreme consequences.
But it wouldn't work. Jake held tightly onto Jade's hand, and focused his mind, as Jade focused on his as well.
Their minds lifted from the physical plain, and flashed to the Temple, where Rose waited for them.
"Rose! Come on, we need to go," Jake said, grabbing Rose's hand, and taking her from the temple back to the ground, ready to go back.
"Ready?" Jade asked, and the two nodded as they closed their eyes along with Jade, and thought of home. But only two of them opened their eyes.
"Jade? Rose?" Jake called into the emptiness of the underground.

"Jade? Why isn't Jake waking up?" Rose asked, shaking Jake.
"I was afraid this would happen," Jade said, walking over to Jake's unconscious body.
"Only an oracle can travel to and depart from the temple. He wouldn't allow me to tell him. He came with me, but now, there is no way out for him," Jade said, and Rose looked back at Jake.
"You mean he's……?" Rose said, and Jade nodded solemnly.
Rose said nothing as tears welled up in her eyes and her throat tightened up.
"No! No, no!" Rose cried, hugging the sleeping Jake.
Everyone else had silent tears, but Rose's were the worst.
"Jake is fine," a voice said, and Rose felt a hand on her shoulder.
She turned around to see Jake's grandfather.
Jade had given Lou the antidote without telling anybody.
"In the worst situations, Jake has always found a way out, and he will find a way out of this situation as well," Grandpa said, and Rose looked back at Jake.
"But it's the rules," she sobbed. "He can never come back! A non-oracle mind cannot leave without the proper enchantment, and the odds of us finding it are one to one million," Rose said, and she cried some more.
"Rules can be changed. How do you think I got to be Jake's master," Grandpa said, and Rose reacted.
"The Grand Council permitted that I train Jake because I was in concern of the world's safety, so I don't see why the rules can't be changed for you," Grandpa said comfortingly.
"But who do I go to in order to change the rules?" Rose asked, looking once again back at Jake.
"You must go there yourself, and beg for forgiveness," Grandpa said, and Rose looked into the ceiling.
"I'm going. And only I will go," Rose said before Jade, Kara, or Sara could offer to go with her.
Rose concentrated with all her might.
Suddenly, her body flashed a golden light, and she went limp on the ground.
"Let's hope they both make it out okay," Jade said as they looked down at Rose's body spread across Jake's, both unconscious.

Rose flew with the speed of a falcon over the ocean until she hit Greece.
She dove down the nearest crack in the Earth, and plummeted into the depths of the ground until a white light appeared, and the Oracle Temple appeared.
Jake could be seen, sitting on the steps, wondering what was going on, until Rose soared into the temple, and landed in the center, where Jake ran to her immediately.
"Rose, what's going on?" Jake asked.
"Your mind is trapped here. Only oracles can leave without the proper enchantment, so we need to beg to the oracles of the past to get you out of here," Rose said quickly, falling to her knees.
Jake was just about to ask what was going on when Rose grabbed his shirt and pulled him down to his knees to pray.
"What exactly are we supposed to say?" Jake asked from under his arms.
"I'm…… I'm not sure," Rose said, sitting up
"Well, if we don't come up with a way, I'll be trapped here for the rest of eternity!" Jake panicked.
"Well, don't worry, don't worry, I'm sure one of these scrolls can help," Rose said, fumbling through the scrolls, until she found a spell.
To break an ancient enchantment, many ingredients are required it read, and Rose ran up to the main scroll with Jake and the spell.
The enchantment wishing to be broken written down it said, and Rose wrote on the main scroll Jake can leave the Oracle Temple.
Must be written by voice inside. Will appear blue when actually works, it read.
Rose scratched her head at the line she had just read, so she showed it to Jake.
"Maybe we should try writing it together," Jake suggested.
"How can that be the voice inside?" Rose said, clearly frustrated.
"Maybe it's love?" Jake suggested.
Rose blushed for a quick second, but then looked back at the scroll.
"Well, I guess it's worth a shot," Rose said, putting the pen to the paper, as Jake placed his hand over hers on the pen.
Jake can leave the Oracle Temple they both wrote with the same pen.
And slowly, the amethyst ink turned to sapphire.
"Oh, yes Jake, you were right!" Rose said, and she read the next line.
A piece of the heart, and the spell will be broken it said, and Rose brought her head back.
"What is it?" Jake asked, clearly confused.
"I don't understand the last line," she said, showing it to Jake, and he shrugged as well.
Minutes passed, then hours, and then what felt like days, then years, and finally, it felt as if they had waited centuries.
"I don't understand it!" Rose said again, bursting out in tears this time.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm sure you'll figure it out!" Jake supported, but Rose kept crying.
"No, that's just it, I'll never figure it out! You'll be stuck here forever, and it's all my fault," Rose said, and she huddled down, then continued crying.
"It is not your fault," Jake said, trying to reassure her.
"No, no, everything's my fault. It's my fault that Huntsmaster knows who you are now. It's my fault that your grandfather nearly died! So I don't see why it isn't my fault that you're going to be trapped here for eternity!" Rose said, as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Hey, hey, stop crying," Jake said, huddling down with her and putting his hand over her shoulder, and she looked up at him.
"If I never make it out of here, I want you to know that I loved you then, I love you now, and I will love you always," Jake said, and Rose stood back up at the scroll.
"I love you too Jake," Rose said, a single tear falling from her face onto the time old parchment, then turning around to hug him.
"So very much," she said, hugging him, not noticing the writing turn gold.
High winds began to swirl around them, and they began to spin faster, and faster, as scrolls from the temple began to fly from them.
A magic glow formed around them, as the landscape began to swirl, and they were both lifted into the air, and vanished.

"Wait a second…. Look!" Kara said, pointing at Jake and Rose.
Their bodies slowly lifted from the ground, and into the air as their feet dangled to the ground.
Two golden orbs of light came in from outside, and flew into the heads of Jake and Rose.
A white light flashed, and both were lowered back to the ground.
"Are they okay?" Trixie asked as they crowded around each the two.
"Come on Jake, say something!" Cameron yelled, shaking him like a rag doll.
"Something," Jake mumbled, and they let out a held breath, as they brought the two to lie down on the couch, and the two slept for hours on end.

"Jake?" Rose asked, and Jake's eyes opened slowly.
It was the afternoon. The sun hung lazily in the sky. The parents would be back any minute now.
"I'm very happy we made it okay," Rose said, and Jake smiled.
"Rose?" Jake asked, and Rose looked back at him.
"Back in the temple, were, were you being serious?" Jake asked.
"Were you?" Rose asked, and Jake thought.
"Yes," he finally said after some serious thought.
"My answer is the same as yours," Rose smiled.
Silently, Jake scooted closer to Rose.
"I thought bad things would happen if we kissed," Rose thought.
"But you have magic blood now," Jake reminded her, and Rose remembered so as they drew closer.
Jake stretched out his lips to Rose, and Rose did the same.
Closer, Jake thought. Closer………
