Chapter 4 – Dragon Team Up

Author's Note: Whew, okay. One of my friends really loves this story, so I decided to surprise him with the next chapter (guess who that person is… XD). So, here's the next chapter. Thanks to my reviewers, atecom, sky blue eyes, and LP! And uh, I'll update the fifth chapter by tonight, hopefully, but I need to update my other stories too so yeah… Uh, here's the fourth chapter!

"Catherine, it's time for school…" Her mom said, shaking her awake.

Cat groaned.

"I thought you said I was grounded." She said, looking out the window where she spotted Jake's house.

"Yes, I did… But I never said you didn't have to go to school." Her mom said.

"Okay…" Cat said, getting up and getting ready for school.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

After a quick preparation, Catherine rushed out the door and bladed to school once again.

As she was on her way, she heard a familiar voice call out to her once again.

Cat skid to a stop and saw that it wasn't Jake, but Kellen.

"Hi Cat!" He greeted.

Cat smiled.

"Hi Kel!" She grinned, waving.

"So, did you tell Jake yet?" He asked.

She giggled.

"No, not yet." Cat said. "I'm grounded…" She groaned.

"Oh, really? I'm sorry." Kel said.

"It's alright… I'll just tell Jake at school later today." She gazed, almost close to school.

When the two got there, Jake, Trixie, and Spud were just close by the door and waved.

"Hi Jake!" Cat said, greeting Jake first. She took off her blades and helmet, setting it in her backpack.

"Hi Cat." Jake said.

Kellen and Cat walked together up the stairs. Cat dreamily stared at Jake, but he didn't notice.

Cat then went to her locker and thought about what she should tell Jake… When she got out everything she needed, she found it unusually quiet it in the hallway… Nobody was there…

"Hello?" Cat called out.

No reply was brought back to her.

"HELLO?" Cat called out louder.

Cat walked down the ominous hallway of Millard Fillmore Middle School with no one by her side… Which was pretty unusual since the school was always crowded at this time.

As Cat walked, a figure of the Dark Dragon appeared.

"Ah, Sonar Dragon… I have returned for you…" He said.

"The, the, the Dark Dragon?" She asked, immediately changing into a dragon.

"Yes…" The Dark Dragon chuckled evilly.

"How did you find me?" Cat asked, trying to hit him with a fireball.

The Dark Dragon dodged and tossed her towards the wall. Cat groaned in pain.

"Easy, I followed you and found you here…" He said, approaching the helpless dragon.

Cat got up and got ready to give the Dark Dragon some revenge but she was too late and he grab her by the hand and spun her around multiple times and tossed her at a janitor's closet.

She was ready to pass out and give up but she furiously got up. And before she could fly out the door, she saw what seemed to be the same dragon she met the night before.

"American Dragon! What are you doing here?" Cat asked, flying toward him.

Jake turned around and saw Cat, or in his case, the Sonar Dragon.

"Oh, easy, I know this crazy dude. What are you doing here?" Jake asked, barely dodging a fireball tossed by the Dark Dragon.

"Heh, well, you see, The Dark Dragon is after me and—AH!" A kick interrupted her behind her back.

Jake gasped.

"Are you okay?" He asked, helping Cat up.

Cat rubbed her head.

"Yeah, for the most part…" She said, not looking the same as she did when she first fought the Dark Dragon earlier.

"Enough talk!" The Dark Dragon said. "Be ready to fight." He said.

"Well, I say, bring it." Jake said, winking at Cat.

Cat winked back at Jake.

"Yeah, show us what you got!" She said.

This angered the Dark Dragon and he charged at Cat first.

She dodged, luckily and Jake made a hit for him.

It was Cat's turn. She did a cartwheel and jumped feet first at the Dark Dragon, giving him a kick in the face. Cat then landed benevolently down the floor.

"Nice!" Jake said.

"Thanks." She grinned.

"Argh, this not over, dragons!" The Dark Dragon said, getting up.

"Hey, I've got an idea." Cat whispered to Jake.

"What?" Jake asked, curious.

Cat whispered something to Jake. He nodded and faced the Dark Dragon, grinning with pleasure.

"Hey, Dark Dragon! Can't get me, can you?" Jake mocked.

"American Dragon! You will not mock me!" The Dark Dragon yelled, flying towards him.

Jake got hit with a punch of his fist but hit him back.

"Oh no you don't!" Cat said, jumping off with a twirl and a back flip with a front flip. She made a direct hit to his face, feet first once again.

"Another day, dragons!" The Dark Dragon said, not having the will to fight anymore.

"But I will especially get you too, Sonar Dragon…" He mumbled, then disappearing in a cloud of black, thick dust.

"We did it!" Jake said, giving Cat a high-five.

"Yeah!" Cat cheered.

"Well, thanks…" Jake said, shaking her hand.

"No problem…" Cat grinned. "If you excuse me, I have to be off somewhere." She said.

"Heh, see you around then." Jake winked.

"See you!" Cat said, taking off and flying.

At this instant, Jake went back to human form.

"Jake!" Cat said in human form, exhausted.

"Cat! Where were you? And why do you look like you've just gotten into a fight?" Jake asked.

"I was… somewhere… behind the school." Cat lied. "And I was… uh, getting mauled by a ton of dogs." She said.

"Whoa, are you okay?" Jake asked.

"Yeah." She replied. "I'm just so exhausted from fighting the Dark Dragon, I mean… from running away from those dogs." She said, laughing nervously.

"Uh, okay…" Jake said.

It was pretty unusual the rest of the day… School didn't start again due to nobody around. The students and teachers were all chickens and ran off somewhere unquestionably that I don't even know about. The school looked like a mess anyway. I mean, after all that fighting the Dark Dragon thing with Cat and Jake—or the Sonar Dragon and the American Dragon—teaming up and defeating him together.

Why would the school not be a mess?

That's your question to answer…

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"Mom, I'm home…" Cat panted, exhausted. She still looked like a mess.

"Cat! You look horrible! What happened?" Her mom asked.

"Yeah, you look like you've been mauled by a big, giant gorilla! ROAR!" Kevin said, imitating a gorilla.

Amanda giggled.

"Mom, I'm okay… There were just some… um, there was a small fire at school. And uh, I almost didn't get out of the building in time." Cat stammered.

Her mom gasped.

"Well, why didn't you tell me and get home right away?" She asked, worried.

"I… I… I don't know… I just… wasn't thinking…" Cat said, not wanting to talk. She was too tired to lie to her mom.

"Well, I'm calling to school to tell them about why they just didn't tell us about it." Her mom said, getting ready to grab the phone.

"No!" Cat quickly said.

Her mom stopped and stared at her awkwardly.

"I mean, uh… you don't need to. I, I just want to get some sleep… I'm… I'm kinda exhausted…" Cat said.

"Alright, you go change into better clothes and sleep as long as you need to." Her mom said, somehow feeling her head if she had a fever. "Oh, and you're kind of hot. Do you want me to take your temperature?" She asked.

"No, no mom… I'm okay." Cat yawned, going upstairs.

Cat, who was more than just a little exhausted, changed in to house clothes then fell to her bed, dead asleep after.
