Four dragons are heading straight to Senior Island carrying a coffin. At the island, the Seniors and their henchmen, Evil and Treachery, are waiting for them and their cargo. The dragons finally arrive.

"Welcome, my dear dragons." Señor Senior Senior says. "May I see Ms. Possible?"

"Not before I see my sister." Jake replies.

"Sure, Mr. Long." Senior replies. "Follow me, please."

As the dragons enter, sphinx hair nets fall over them, forcing them back to their human forms.

"Excellent." Señor Senior Senior comments. "Now let's place them on deadly traps and, as the villain tradition says, leave them before they die."

"Sorry but we have other plans." Evil says as he and Treachery reveal their Huntstaffs. "Once we slay these dragons the Huntsclan will welcome us back."

"Not so fast." Kim replies as she and Rose (the coffin is big enough for the both of them) leave their coffins and remove the nets from the dragons.

"You remember the plan, Kim." The Dragon of Europe says. "You, Rose and the American Dragon go after Haley while the rest of us will fight the villains."

With help from Wade and the Kimmunicator, Kim finds Haley. Jake is about to break his sister free from the chains when he starts feeling the sphinx hair.

"What's wrong with him?" Kim asks.

"Sphinx hair." Rose explains and Kim understands. Both girls then break Haley free.

"Girls, please take care of Haley." Jake asks. "I must help Gramps, Sun and the Councillor."

Jake then flies to where the other dragons are fighting the rejected slayers. It was an even match until Jake removes their Huntstaffs. With no other choice, the villains flee. The dragons they return to where Haley, Rose and Kim are.

Haley wakes up and is shocked at Rose being so close to her. "Back away, you slayer." Haley says in a mixture of hatred and fear. "Jake."

Jake then arrives. "Haley."

"Jake, k-keep that slayer away from me." Haley pleads.

"Haley, you don't have to fear Rose." Jake says and then notices Rose's hurt look. "Don't take it personally, Rose."

"It's okay, Jake." Rose replies. "I understand she's a kid who was taught to be wary of people with this mark." She says as she shows her Hutnsclan Birthmark.

Our heroes then return to New York. Susan is quite happy to see her daughter back. "Haley, did they hurt you?"

"You should let her rest, Mrs. Long." Councillor Kulde advises. "She's been exposed to a huge amount of sphinx hair."

"How did the Seniors know about the sphinx hair?" Susan asks.

"They were helped by two rejected slayers who expected to be welcomed back." Councillor Kulde explains.

"Do you monsters know no limits?" Susan angrily asks as she points an accusing finger to Rose.

"Mom, Rose took a big risk to save Haley." Jake angrily replies in Rose's defense.

"That's true, Susan." Lao Shi calmly adds.

"Sorry, Rose." Susan says. "It's just, it's hard to me to believe a dragon slayer to be any different from" She then hesitates.

"From what?" Jake asks.

"Young dragon, have you ever wondered why your Grandmother isn't with us?" Lao Shi asks.

"No, but." Jake answers and then realizes what his Grandfather means. "Oh."

"Talking about it always seemed to be painful." Susan says.

"I feel your pain, Mrs. Long, but the slayer known as Rose has proven she no longer upholds the Huntsclan values." Councillor Kulde says. "True, we still see her as a slayer but a slayer who's on our side."

"Thank you, Councillor." Rose humbly replies.

"Earning our trust isn't easy." Councillor Kulde replies. "Don't waste it."

"I understand, sir." Rose replies.

Next chapter will hopefully be the epilogue and a preview for a future work of mine. Please review.
