Chapter 12: Spells

The Dark Dragon stared in disbelief as he saw Jake return to normal just by the touch of a hand. He never imagined that a simple touch could cure this spell. Now he is getting frustrated and decided to try a different spell. As he started saying the spell, the others started charging up their blasts but they were unable to finish. The Dark Dragon finished his spell and he watched as everyone fell to their knees in pain. The pain however only lasted a few seconds. Everyone looked around confused by what had just happened. "American Dragon, you know what they say; you are your own worst enemy."

Everyone looked around again and saw nothing at all. "What are you talking about Dark Dragon?" Jake asked as the Dark Dragon pointed behind them. When everyone turned around, they saw themselves but they all looked darker kind of like shadows but they had color to them. "Enough with the spells already dude, it gets annoying after a while." Jake complained.

"Why do you think I am always doing them?" The Dark Dragon smiled evilly as the others looked at him with ticked expressions on their faces. "Now my evil dragons, attack!" He yelled out and sat back and used a spell separating everyone from having any help fighting themselves. "Ah, the joy of spells." The Dark Dragon said peacefully to himself.

'Oh come on, is he that determined to get rid of us.' Jake asked himself as his darker form attacked. Jake for some reason was having a hard time keeping up with himself and couldn't get a blow on his evil form. The others aren't doing so well either. Jake kept blowing blasts at the other Jake but every time he did, he would end up having to dodge another attack. This kept going for an hour until he was worn out and got blasted in the stomach three times by his evil self. He was blown into a dead tree and fell to the ground unconscious. Like Jake, all but Rose were having the same problem, they couldn't keep up and were eventually knocked out cold. Rose on the other hand was eventually able to defeat her evil self.

When her evil self was knocked out, she sucked her back into herself and then had the chance to look around. She couldn't find Lao Shi, Jake, Haley, Fred or even the dark Dragon. "Aw man, not again. I swear the Dark Dragon has some issues." Then Rose flew back to the hotel room and explained what happened to the others the best she could and then got ready for her trip to find everyone.

After seeing everyone come back knocked out, and seeing that Rose is winning, he grabbed everyone, put them in chains and took them back to his old lair. When he returned, he used a spell, making the whole lair invisible and everything inside as long as everything inside stayed inside. Then he thought of what he should do with the heroes and came up with a wonderful idea. He would use them as sacrifices but the spell used to do that would take a few days to get ready. He wasn't to worried about taking a while to do that but was worried that he would be found before he would be able to finish, so of course he decided to get ready and make a spell to transport everyone somewhere. While he got that ready, everyone had started waking up.

Jake took a minute to realize where he is and then sighed. He may not have been himself when he was here last but it is still in his memory. 'You have got to be kidding me.' Jake said to himself and then he looked around but didn't see Rose anywhere and knew she must have one the battle. "Hey Dark Dragon, why are we here and where is the last member of our group." The Dark Dragon laughed making him worry but couldn't believe that he could have killed her. "Dark jerk, where is Rose?" Then the dark Dragon said that he left her before she finished her battle. Jake is relieved to hear that Rose is ok, for the most part. "Let me guess, you're getting ready for some kind of spell."

"Of course American Dragon, I can't allow your friend to attack me when I am going to be getting ready to sacrifice you for more power now can I." The Dark Dragon smirked and went back to what he was doing.

Jake is peeved now and wanted to say some things but decided against it and kept those feelings to himself. "So you're going to kill us for more power than you already have, you don't need any more."

"I do if I want the white dragon out of my hair, now be a good dragon and shut up." The Dark Dragon said finishing up the spell.

While Rose is getting ready for her trip, she thought of where the Dark Dragon would go and then thought of the only other place that he could go. 'He obviously went back to his old lair to throw me off because who would go to a place that they have been to before if their enemy knows where it is.' Rose knew that the Dark Dragon would go somewhere where he would think that she wouldn't look. Rose got something to eat and drink and then headed out. When she got to where the lair was, she used her dragon senses and saw everyone in the building trapped and then she landed on the building.

Shortly after the conversation between Jake and the Dark Dragon, everyone heard something land on the roof. After whatever it was that landed a chain is seen coming through the roof so the Dark Dragon used the spell and disappeared.

Rose had ripped through the roof with her chain just in time to see the Dark Dragon teleport everyone out of the building. "I am going to kill him. He always uses the spells way to much and it has gotten annoying and to think he tells me to fight like a real dragon." Rose flew out of the building and back to the hotel to get a tracking potion and then grabbed some food and water for her trip in case the trip is long.
