Roxanne flew through the tunnel, doing her best to keep up with the Huntsmaster. She saw the ends of his cape turning left.

'Almost there' she thought. 'Time to speed things up a little'

She urged herself to go faster. Finally, she could see his back clearly. He entered an iron door.

'He's leaving it open' Roxanne thought. She smiled to herself. 'He's just making things easier for me then'

"You're a feisty little one, aren't you?" Dylan said when his niece landed in front of him.

Roxanne raised an eyebrow. 'Feisty? Is he kidding? That's so cliché. Figures for an old coop like him'

"But stubborn as well" he continued. "You should know better than to have followed me"

BAM!

The door slammed closed. Roxanne didn't even flinch. She wasn't stupid; she knew there was a chance of this being a trap. She surveyed the room. It was rectangular with walls made of stone and no windows. On two corners, fountains were placed. Water came out from a sharp-teethed mouth made of granite. Weapons of all sorts surrounded them, as well as a number of levers and switches.

"I'm not going to let you get away" the blue dragon said.

The Huntsmaster smirked. "And you think you can do such?" he leered.

"Yes" she answered then attacked.

Dylan evaded. Roxanne jumped up and threw a punch to him. He caught it. She growled, pulled back and made a full turn kick, he only ducked.

'I'm not going to be that easy' the blond thought and flew up. Dylan turned around to hold her kick, she then threw a punch which he once again caught. She turned herself into a weird position to use her free leg to try again at kicking him. But he blocked with his elbow.

"Playtime's over" he said. Without warning, he disappeared and reappeared behind her. She gasped when his leg made contact with her back. She caught herself on the floor with her two hands and rolled over. She got up with a back flip, only to be brought down again with a blow on the side, slamming her into the wall.

"Damn it…" she cursed, getting up again but this time, with the wall's help. She looked up and was met with a glowing staff.

"Looks like I do get to slay a dragon after all…" Dylan said. Roxanne knew behind his headdress, he was smiling.

Jasmine jumped into the air and slammed her leg down onto one Huntsman's back making him fall on his chest hard. She got up and looked around. Her dad was fighting off three Huntsmen with her mom by his side.

'Hold on a sec… Where's Roxanne? And the Huntsboy's gone too…' She thought then gasped, realizing they had disappeared around the same time the Huntsmater had. 'He didn't…'

"Jasmine!" Rose called and the blond woman, along with her husband, approached.

"We're done here. Where's your sister?" Jake asked.

"I'm afraid I don't know" was her soft reply.

"What?! What do you mean-" Rose began.

"There's more!" Jasmine had found around another dozen Huntsmen drawing near.

"But-"

"Relax, Rose" Jake assured his wife. "Roxanne can take care of herself. For now, we better deal with them first"

"You're an idiot, know that?" Alex told Roxanne.

"Yeah. So are you"

"I just saved you. Aren't you going to thank me?"

"No"

He shook his head and faced his ex-master who had stood up from his kick.

"Most unwise, Alex" Dylan sneered. "Who knew that you'd actually grow up to be as imprudent as your parents?"

Alex's eyes flashed at the mention of his father and mother. "You killed them and lied to me about it. I'm not going to forgive you. I'll put an end to all your wickedness once and for all"

At that, the Huntsmaster smirked. "You can try but I highly doubt you'll succeed"

"Alone, he won't. But with two of us, he will" Roxanne asserted.

"I don't need your-" Alex began.

"I don't care" the dragon cut in and charged at her uncle. He sidestepped to avoid her. Alex came at him from above.

For awhile, the two teens took turns in hitting Dylan, occasionally getting a good shot and not acquiring much damage.

'As much as I hate to admit it, it's far easier to fight this guy with his help…' Roxanne thought. 'Alex… that was what the Huntsmaster called him, right?'

"Watch out!" she heard him yell and the next second, she crashed into one of the fountains.

"That hurt…" she muttered, returning to her original form.

"Hey, you ok?" Alex asked, landing beside her.

She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Worried?"

"Curious"

Roxanne snorted and stood up. "Ugh, I'm dripping wet-" she stopped, remembering and realizing something she had forsaken due to the numerous events turning up one after another.

Alex looked at her. "Uh, anyone inside?"

"Of course!" she said suddenly. "How could forget?" she murmured to herself.

"Coz' you're old" Alex answered, making the blond glare at him. "Kidding. But exactly what are you talking about?"

Roxanne smiled. "Watch and see." Overlooking the fact that she was still human and closing her eyes, she held out a hand over the puddle formed at her feet. Slowly, water began to rise in three straight lines. It was then she opened her eyes.

"Wow, it really does work" she whispered in awe.

"What the… how did you…" Alex said in shock. "But you're not even a dragon yet!"

"I'm not?" She looked blankly at him.

"Uh, no"

"Oops…"

"That's quite enough" a voice interrupted them. They turned to see the Huntsmaster. Unaware by both teens, his dragon helmet had been removed sometime during in the fight. Now, a sandy blond-haired man with dark navy eyes was glaring at them. He had a scar across his forehead reaching below his nose. "You two will now face my wrath." He ran towards them with an enraged yell.

"Looks like somebody needs to cool off…" Roxanne said in a singsong voice. "Allow me to assist!" she said more forcefully and commanded a jet stream of water to him.

Dylan received a face full and was thrown into the wall. When he did, his hand got caught with a switch and pulled it down.

Suddenly, the ground began shaking.

"Uh-oh." Roxanne's eyes went wide.

"We're in trouble"
