A/N:Well,since I'm planning to make this a rather longer chapter then my others,I'm might just skip replies just this once.But thanks in part to all who have participated in reviewing thus far.Well,nothing left to do now except read onwards...so,um,read onwards!)

Continueing...

Glancing down at his watch as they rounded the corner to head down the street to the shop,Jake saw that they had just enough time to go in and get the transporatation potion that they needed in order to get back to the Phoenix.Man,I should have never left her,he thought to himself repentantly,as they neared it,Now she and her eggs might be in danger.

"Jake."He heard a rather impaitent Rose say from the back where he was dragging her by her wrist almost as they went along,"Jake..."she said a little more lower and dangerously,then snapped abruptly,"Would you stop already!My gosh!Dragons...they can be so,err,nevermind.Let's just go."

But instead of turning to argue about it with her,he only released her arm as they were almost directly in front of the "Magic and Transmogrification potions" shop that was green-bricked with yellow shutters and a yellow door.Unhesitantly,Jake grabbed the doorknob and gave it a good yank.It didn't work at first,so annoucing "Dragon arm," he used the strength in one Dragon arm to do give it one more pull.

"Alright,"He told Rose quietly,as the door flew open and they began to catiously move forward,"Stand close,"he whispered,"This could get bad."

"Bad?"Rose repeated unsurely,as she follow him into the dimly-lit shop and up to what appeared to be a large counter out in front of them.

"May I assist you?"Someone inquired them in a low,hissing noise that seemed to rattle thier ears some,as a figure moved towards them in the dark and up to the counter,"Perhaps you'd like to be a bull frog or maybe you'd just like to go ahead and maybe let me turn you into one now?"

"No,Leena.We need a Teleportation potion home to New York."Jake interputed shortly,digging around in his pocket hastily and slamming down so slightly wadded bills on her desk,"It's really important...so,Hurry!"

"Oh,poo.You types always take the fun out of sounding spooky and mysterious."The creature,Leena,croaked at him in what sounded like her normal voice,"Well,here,"she handed him a glowing green bottle,"Enjoy!"

"Thanks,come on Rose!"

The two of them hurried outside and Jake almost immediately pulled Rose into the alleyway between the shop they had just gotten out of and a shop right next to it.He began to quickly uncork the oddly-shaped bottle and the immense green glow started to cataract of the top of it.Looking up from the bottle to Rose,Jake indicated that they had to throw it up in the air and then stand perfectly still while it began work on reading thier destination and transport them back to the Statue.

"Jake,"Rose said with a slight wistful look playing on her face,"I'm sorry."

"Hey,it's okay."Jake smiled at her,more in his eyes then anything,"You're just trying to break through this,"he took his hand in hers,as he used the other one to shot up the potion to send them home,"And it's working."

With Grandpa breifly...

Fu Dog scratched at his ear excessively,as he observed his long time partner and friend Lahoshi,anxiously watch from a small glass ball the scene that seemed to be unfolding.He hadn't seen Jake and Rose leaving,he had seen them there talking some.But as he had to awnser the front counter for a customer,he was only seeing the Phoneix resting peacefully on the statue.However,the force field that he had been relieved to see when he saw it,was now starting to fade away.Where was Jake.

"You don't give the kid enough credit,Gramps."Fu commented impudently,like he ususally did as he nipped at a pretentious flea,"I mean,he is the one who saved a Griffon egg,passed the Dragon summit by a landslide,faced the Dark Dragon twice and is still alive and here today!"

"You know,"Grandpa told him flatly,"Sometimes you're haughty sense of humor really gets to a boiling point and in other cases,on people's nerves!"

"Sheesh!Would you relax already?I was just suggesting that maybe you need to have just a wee bit more confidence in you're Grandson."

Sighing,he nodded with unspoken agreement.Jake almost always 'had' proven that although he was somewhat cocky and forgetful,that he always did somehow manage to come back on top.And for now,the only thing that Granpa could do would be to have faith Jake could pull this off.

Back with Jake and Rose...

The potion only lasted enough to get you around to the limit of only 6 places at a time.So since Poland,Alaska and New Jersey all failed.Jake and Rose,gripping each other's hand a little tighter,tried one last time to picture thier sole destination and in a matter of seconds,they found themselfs back up on the Statue and for a brief moment it felt great.

"Well..."Jake laughed a little,grinning at Rose as they finally let go,"Were back and from the looks of it,"he grinned wider,"Everything's fine."

The first thing he heard was Rose's startled gasp,first turning to he see that her face was as white as a sheet of paper,then following her gaze he saw exactly why she gasped.Because although the nest was still there and two very large eggs were laying within it's fiery,firey heat,the soon-to-be Mother Phoenix was no where in sight.

"No,"Jake breathed in shakily,then he exhaled with agression starting to rise in his voice,"No!This wasn't suppose to happen,"he ran over to the next and standing on his toes,peered in on the side,"This couldn't have."

Rose was strangely quiet,as thoughts were racing at the speed of light through her mind.She had no doubt in the world who was behind all of this and she even knew exactly where they were.Even though he might get suspicious,she had to try and convince Jake to go with her to the place where all the most rare and vaulable creatures were exported and imported from New york to around the world.But then she thought of something,they wouldn't be there.If her Uncle had succed in getting to the Phoenix,they would be at the highest point for all Huntsclan.Becauseshe knew that whenever any Huntsclan member caught the last of any species that that was where it was showen to all members,before being slayed.

"Jake,we have to go Paris."She told him promtly and when he turned to stare at her questioningly,she explained to him as much as she could,before he nodded and together they used what little transportation power they had for the 5th round to get to the place Rose was certained her Uncle and the Phoenix would be.As Jake projected one last force field beam around the eggs to protect them,the two of them teleported.

Wherever Huntsmaster is,Jake thought to himself,I'll get him!

Rose watched the expression on Jake's face turn from being upset to being infuirated.And for some reason,she couldn't feel the same.She didn't know why she couldn't feel the way he could,she truely wanted too.Really.After seeing all she had seen,she wanted more then ever to feel the glorious anger and determination to vanquish her Uncle and save the Phoenix.But then,as she looked on sadly,she remembered her real fate.A fate,she decided right then and there,she wasn't about to let come true.

Well,I guess most of you are on the edge of you're seat to find out what happens next,can't blame you.Anywho,more to be written soon!
