Chapter 8: The White Dragon Appears
Rose and Jake knew that the Dark Dragon is dangerous but they didn't expect a complete slaughter house. Then lightning came down on the hotel destroying everything but the little room they are in. Their room just kind of floated there with no support from anything. Rose and Jake now have confused looks on their faces and Lao Shi saw this. "I have covered this room with a spell knowing that he would hit this hotel in one way or another." The two smiled at Lao Shi and started getting ready for battle when Rose thought of something and collapsed to the floor. Jake saw her fall and rushed over to her.
"Rose, are you ok?" Jake said worried about his new and old girlfriend.
"Jake, my parents, they're dead, aren't they?" Rose asked. Jake didn't know what to say to that so he said that if they are dead, what better way to get revenge and left it with that. Rose smiled at him and grabbed her staff and headed out with Haley, Lao Shi, and Jake onto the battle field. The lightning was no longer a threat to any one though they did have to dodge the flames that started. The smell of the world now is awful and they had to fight trying their best to get some good air in their lungs. After about ten minutes of dodging flames, they had finally met up with the Dark Dragon. They were behind the Dark Dragon so he didn't notice them. There is absolutely nobody around for miles but then saw Fred flying off in the distance and apparently he saw Jake and the others and he flew in their direction and landed.
Jake had come up with a plan and so on three, all the dragons and Rose shot out their most powerful blasts into the Dark Dragons back causing a smoke cloud. When the smoke had cleared, they weren't too shocked to see the Dark Dragon just standing there but was surprised to see him not pay any attention. Right when they were about to attack again the Dark Dragon flipped around and waked them away like flies. The only ones that dodged this was Jake and Rose. Jake and Rose teamed up and started blasting away as the others got to their feet and attacked as well. No matter how hard they hit him, they couldn't do enough damage to do anything to the giant dragon. Even as powerful as the Dark Dragon is, he couldn't seem to hit things so small but he isn't worried at all because they have done absolutely no damage to him. Jake and Rose are now irritated and got to higher ground and headed for his left ear. They hit it and to their surprise, the attack did nothing. Then the dark dragon grabbed behind his ear feeling an annoyance and looked in his claw to see if he got whatever it was. The Dark Dragon smiled as he saw the American Dragon in his claws. He threw him into Fred who went off balance in the air and ran into Haley and all three crashed into the ground. Lao Shi getting distracted by this was the next to fall by the Dragons giant claw. Rose had got to the ground by now and saw the Dark Dragon getting ready to attack Jake. She saw his claw coming down as she ran faster to get to Jake screaming no at the top of her lungs.
Rose made it just in time to try and wrestle with the Dark Dragons hand and as the hand hit a flash of white appeared where Rose was. Jake was awake enough to see this happen and was shocked at what he saw. The White Dragon and Dark Dragon Are now wrestling claw to claw. The White Dragon had finally got a grip and threw the Dark Dragon two hundred feet away from her. She may be small but she has great power. "Where did Rose go White Dragon?" The White Dragon turned around and showed Jake her wrist. "You're Rose!" Jake said shocked but he also noticed that the dragon on her wrist is different but before he could ask, she started telling him.
"Jake, my mark is now a powerful weapon. In case you're wondering about the extra details however, I will go into that later." Her mark is now from her left hand down to her right foot. The mark now has two hunts clan staffs in an x form on top of the dragon mark. The Dark Dragon was swiping at her from behind but the attack is ineffective as Rose turned around and grabbed his claws. Then Rose pushed him back transformed her mark into a chain. She wrapped the chain around the Dark Dragon and pulled him closer causing cuts along his body but the chain stayed clean as it seemed to repel the blood that came out of the wounds. When the Dark Dragon was close enough, she quickly transformed her chain into a sword and slashed his torso causing him to turn around and then slashed his back throwing him forward.
"Fight like a dragon coward." The Dark Dragon said taunting her.
"I can't Dark Dragon, because if I do I could very well hurt someone for my powers are to strong. One fireball will disintegrate you into nothing and that is the weakest of my fire attacks." Then she continued to slash at him until he fell unconscious. They are near a cliff so she picked him up and threw him over. Then she walked over to Jake who was still on the ground in shock at what had just happened. "Jake, about the mark; the extra details have changed the meaning of the mark itself. The new meaning is that I am now a guard dragon. To put it more simply, this mark says that I am meant to protect magical and human world without the fear of being rejected by anyone. This works because I protect the human world in human form and the magical world in dragon form. This will also be a new beginning for all dragons and humans alike. Let me see your left hand Jake."
Jake thought it was a little odd but went with it anyway. He held out his hand and Rose grabbed it putting her left hand on his. After a few seconds, Rose let go of his hand to reveal the same mark that she has. Jake jumped back after seeing this but quickly calmed down. Jake looked at his hand and then was hugged by Rose. As soon as she hugged him, a bright light formed around them and shrunk until it was inside both of them. Jake just looked at her with a confused look. Rose then explained to him what happened. "Jake, we are now connected to each other by this mark and since we are the first ones to have the mark, this is a way of marrying us though we aren't actually married. I know that is kind of creepy but when this mark first comes into play, it decides the two people that truly belong together. That is what the ring was. If we don't really belong together than the ring would have broke immediately and the mark on you would have disappeared."
"Ok but there is one thing that I don't understand. Why didn't you know before that you are the White Dragon and since you didn't know how, do you know all of this stuff now? Jake asked confused.
"Jake, I wasn't supposed to know until I saved you from the Dark Dragon so as soon as that happened and I transformed, I was given the ability to know everything about myself." Rose explained to Jake who was still confused but didn't try to figure it out right away.
The two grasped hands and started walking off, then Jake realized something. "Where did the hunts clan go anyway?"
"Who knows, but they will be a problem again, I know that much." Then they continued off when a vibration was felt and Jake was pulled under ground then shot back up and thrown a few miles away in the opposite direction. Rose looked around and there stood the Dark Dragon. "No way, how are you still alive?" Then she shot everything she had at him expecting to kill him but when the dust cleared, the Dark Dragon came at Rose and knocked her out. By this time Jake was back but was grabbed by the Dark Dragon and put in chains and taken away. Before Rose was completely knocked out, she saw Jake being carried away by the Dark Dragon. "No, Jake." Then she fell unconscious.
