American Dragon Season Three
Chapter/Episode 9: No Negotiations
Jake Long, the American Dragon was currently using his dragon claws to climb up a very large and steep mountain. On top of the mountain stood a large castle; in which Gramps had told Jake that the Dragon Council had seen Vickie enter. As Jake reached a little break in the cliff, Jake sat down and used his tail to place a bag down by his side. Reverting back to his human form, Jake reached inside the bag and pulled out a small box. Jake opened it and pulled out a little ear piece, which he carefully put in his ear.
"Yo, Gramps…?" Jake spoke. "Can you hear me? I'm at the place…"
"Good young dragon…" Jake could suddenly hear his grandfather's voice. "Very good! Now, the council says that Vickie is inside. That must be where she is holding Danika!"
"This is a pretty interesting place to hold a captive…" Jake wondered out loud. "Don't you think it's a bit obvious?"
"Well, kid…" Jake could now hear Fu's voice. "She is a geek, remember? Remember how I said that you made the right choice by not picking this freak?"
"Not now, Fu!" Jake snapped. "Maybe you can go off on your little rant after I have Danika…"
LINE BREAK
Meanwhile, Vickie the siren stood behind a control panel. Putting her finger to her chin, Vickie relished over the pain she was about to cause her prisoner. Danika Honeycut currently stood on an elevated platform; Velcro straps were holding her feet down while two shackles were attached to her wrists, the chains leading down to the platform.
"Vickie, I know that you're angry with me." Danika spoke while trying her best to hide the fear that was rising in her throat. "Can't we just settle this like mature teenage girls?"
"Sure…" Vickie smiled evilly as she pressed a button on the panel. A buzzing sound could be heard and Danika looked down at her platform before she let out a howl of pain as electricity coursed through her.
The American Dragon, who had been watching all of this through a window, finally snapped and shattered through the window. Vickie turned around in surprise, just as Jake's tail smacked into her, sending the siren rolling across the floor. Eyes filled with rage, Vickie picked herself onto her feet and blasted a blue beam of energy from her mouth, only to miss the dragon.
"Ha, you missed me!" Jake bragged.
"I wasn't aiming for you, you stupid dragon!" Vickie retorted, pointing up. Getting the message, Jake looked up to see several layers of the ceiling come down on him. Jake smashed to the ground, reverting back to his human form as the chuckling siren walked over to him and grabbed him by the hair.
Jake felt himself being pulled from the rubble, and before he knew it he was lying on his back with the evil siren looking down on him. "End of the line, scales for brains…" Vickie scowled once more and started to lift him up to his feet.
Jake refused to give in and transformed into his dragon form. This caught Vickie off guard, and she slightly backed off, giving Jake the opportunity to wrap his tail around her wrist and hurl her backwards and shattering threw a window.
LINE BREAK
The defeated Vickie now stood on her platform, scowling as Jake shackled her down. "Now this is the end of the line, Vickie." Jake turned around after he had made sure that his defeated enemy couldn't escape.
"You haven't seen the last of me, Jake." Vickie promised calmly, despite her enraged look.
"Maybe…maybe not…" Jake walked over to the control panel where Danika was now standing. "Hey, don't look at me…" Jake acknowledged Vickie's now worried look toward the girl at the controls. "I honestly don't condone revenge like this, but I really can't stop her…"
Turning around, Jake walked out the door of the lair just in time to shield himself from the blinding light coming from the machine.
BLACKOUT; THEME SONG PLAYS
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
A striped prison uniform clad Daisy now sat in a dark cell in a nearby New York prison. Despite only being in prison for a few days, her once beautiful blonde hair was now matted and grey. Daisy brought her head up, revealing her defeat filled eyes as she saw a guard walk up to her cell. He slid open the bars and dropped a tray of some slop before he walked back out and locked her in before pulling up a stool before sitting down.
Daisy refused to give this man the satisfaction of watching her eat like a slob and a pig. For some reason unknown to her, Daisy knew that this guard was out to get her and wanted to catch every second of her suffering. She continued to wonder why this pathetic man wanted to wail on a 14 year old girl who was thrown in a cell with no notification to any higher judicial system as she watched him pull out his gun and start to polish it.
However, the guard jumped up from his seat and pointed his gun at the hall as he heard a crash. "Who's there?" he demanded. "I'll fire!"
"Go ahead…" a voice that was unfamiliar to Daisy spoke. Out of the dark halls, Daisy jumped in surprise as a cane hit the ground, coming after the cane was a man clad completely in a purple skin tight costume; he even wore a purple eye-mask and a purple top hat. "I bet you don't have the courage to fire…" the man taunted.
Just as the masked man had said, the guard slowly lowered his weapon. "Exactly…" the masked man was now amused. With a small, yet evil laugh, the man brought up the cane; Daisy gasped and shut her eyes as she realized what this man was going to do. Daisy was lucky enough to be shielded from the sight, and the teen girl could hear the body hit the floor.
Daisy didn't open her eyes until she heard a loud explosion and a brief feeling of heat. Slowly opening up her eyes, Daisy could see the bars blasted apart and the masked man standing in front of her. Daisy could now see that the cane the man had used to slaughter the abusive guard was green and it had a head of a dragon with what appeared to be long blue strings where its skull should have been. The man bent down and offered her his hand.
"Is he…you know, dead?" Daisy couldn't help but have dread fill into her chest.
"Of course not!" The man declared. "He's simply out cold."
"Who are you?" Daisy demanded.
"You mean you don't recognize me?" the masked man replied before pulling off his mask. "I would think you would remember your Uncle Stevey…"
"I haven't seen you in years…"
"Exactly…" the man got up. "I had a little run-in with the law."
"Why are you here?" Daisy brought herself to her feet.
"Imagine the devastation I felt when I heard of my niece's unfortunate demise back in Hong Kong." The man walked out of the cell before turning back to face Daisy. "And then, I hear from your father that you survived…Well, I asked where you were and I found out that these freaks are holding you in prison…"
"So, what now?" Daisy crossed her arms. "You rescue me…You must have some sort of plan…"
"Daisy, you have no idea…" the man smiled evilly as he reached into his sleeve. Daisy looked at him in wonder as he pulled out purple powder before blowing it into the air. As the man raised his hand, the powder began to glow and a magic circle of contact, making it so Daisy could see the grinning face of a pink Chinese-hairless cat. "Right Yan-Yan…?"
LINE BREAK
Jake Long was currently with his friends and other students from his high school as he finished doing a trick on the ramp. He was immediately surrounded by his peers, who were congratulating him. However, when Jake noticed a depressed looking Spud sitting at the side, Jake brushed them off and walked over to him before sitting down. "Yo, Spud." He asked. "What's wrong, dude?"
When Spud didn't answer him, Jake finally started to get the message. "Oh, I see…you feel bad about Stacey…"
"Trust me, Spudinski…" Trxie came from the crowd to join the conversation. "She's not good enough for you."
"We've told you this before." Jake finished. "You can totally do better than her."
"Whatever…" Spud lowered his head.
"Come on, Spud." Jake sat up and grabbed him by the wrist. "I'm taking you to my place and I'm going to make you your favorite dinner."
LINE BREAK
The second Jake opened the door to his house and stepped in with his two friends, he immediately knew something was wrong. The house had almost completely been ransacked; the couch and the curtains had been ripped to shreds, the walls were scratched by sharp nails and there was a giant hole in the ceiling.
"Yo, what the…" Jake was cut off from his thought as he heard a groan before hearing the crashing of some glass object against the hardwood floor. "Guys, stay here!" Jake commanded in a pleading voice as he rushed around the corner. Jake's mouth dropped open as he saw his unconscious grandfather lying on the floor in his dragon form.
"Gramps!" Jake unconsciously found himself rushing over to him and kneeling by his side. "Please be okay, Grandpa…"
Jake was forced out of his frantic thoughts as a piece of the ceiling was blasted to pieces in a green light. Staring up in shock at the wreckage, Jake watched in awe as a teen girl dropped from the roof and onto the floor beside the American Dragon.
The girl wore tight, pink jeans and a white top with beautiful blonde hair. As the girl brought her head up, Jake could see that the girl had equally as beautiful blue eyes. "Rose?" Jake asked incredulously.
It was then that the girl smiled that smile. That completely malicious and cruel smile…There was no way that it could have belonged to Rose. It wasn't until the girl brought her hand up and pulled off the blonde wig and revealed the matted and grayed hair that Jake's worst fears were realized.
"Wrong twin, dragon…" Daisy scowled. "But you have to admit, it was a sweet ploy. All I had to do was dress as your precious hunter and your family instantly trusted me! If I knew that dragons were so foolish, I would have been surprised that even my own failure of a sister couldn't even slay you."
Jake could feel his temperature rising as he felt as if his skin was being engulfed in his own flames. Glancing down, Jake could see that his fingers had been replaced with his sharp and flesh-shredding claws. Daisy must've noticed this as well, as she pulled a gun that looked somewhat like a revolver with a laser light on the barrel, which she pointed at Lao-Shi, a laser point appearing on his chest.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Jake." Daisy grinned triumphantly. "If you attack me, then my finger might go a little trigger happy."
As much as Jake hated this, his claws reverted back into his hands and he took a deep breath to calm himself down. "That's a good dragon…" Daisy taunted. "But still, you need to be taught a lesson…"
The gun was suddenly brought down from the elder dragon's chest down to his tail. Grinning, Daisy pinched an eye shut to take better aim before she pulled the trigger. Instead of a bullet, a blast of green energy emerged from the barrel and it hit Lao-Shi in the tail. The elder dragon's eyes snapped open and he let out a howl of pain.
"Grandpa!" Jake let out a cry of horror.
BLACKOUT; CUT TO COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
The room was filled with Daisy's distorted and maddened laughter. As Jake was torn over helping his grandfather or shredding apart the sister of the girl of his dreams, Jake could see Trixie slowly approach Daisy from behind.
Daisy sensed this, and whirled around with a grin as she pointed her gun at Jake's friend. However, Daisy traded grins with Trixie as the now dragon Jake came up behind the twin and wrapped his arms around her, pinning her hands to her side and making her drop the gun. Daisy was trapped.
"Well done, dragon." Daisy spat. "I suppose you have won and I will be going back to prison…" However, Daisy's smile widened as Lao-Shi let out a groan; Jake turned his head to see his grandfather twitch as green energy surged through his body.
"Oh dear…" Daisy continued. "It looks like your grandfather needs medical attention. I think he may be dying…I know where you can get an antidote." This worked, and Daisy was released from the dragon's bear hug.
"Where?" Jake demanded. His question was not answered, as Daisy bent over and picked up the gun. "Where?!" Jake demanded once again.
"There is only one antidote." Daisy pointed the gun right at Jake. "My uncle is the only one who can possess it and he is on Draco Island. As a matter of fact, that is where the rest of your family and the Dragon Council are."
"Something tells me that this chick wants something in return." Trixie stated dryly.
"Usually I just think you're friends are annoying, Jake." Daisy taunted. "But she just so happens to be correct. You took my parents away from me! So, I think it natural that I do the same. You are going to die, Jake. I will destroy you. Your demise is the only thing that can save your grandfather now! What say you?"
"Fine…you got me." Jake lowered his dragon head. "Just as long my grandfather is okay."
"Oh Jake…" Daisy at first looked sad, but soon the expression on her face turned into an un-empathetic one. "Did anyone ever tell you that your love for your family is your weakness?" The evil twin then turned and pointed the gun at Trixie. "And as for you two…Wait, where's the other one?"
LINE BREAK
Holly currently sat on her bed trying to study for some test. However, she found that she couldn't sit still. Jumping up from her bed, Holly walked over to a shelf and pulled out a CD before pulling the disk out and popping it into the player. As the music started to play, Holly did a little air-guitar and pretended to bang her head.
This however, ended as Holly heard a pounding at her window. Whirling her head around, Holly could see the sad faced Spud in the window. Sighing, Holly walked over and opened it. "Spud?" she asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Jake…" Spud took his time; he seemed to be out of breath. "Jake's in trouble!"
"Calm down, Spud." Holly advised. "Now, do you mind calmly telling me what happened? Why is Jake in trouble?"
"Rose's evil sister escaped!" Spud explained frantically. "She hurt Jake's gramps! Now she has Trixie and Jake! What do we do?"
"Okay Spud, do you know where she's taking them?"
"Draco Island, I think!"
"Perfect!" Holly stood back and allowed her purple dragon form to appear. Once she was done, she lowered herself on all four claws, gesturing Spud to climb onto her back. "Come on, Spud. Get on!"
LINE BREAK
Around that same time, Daisy was holding onto Trixie's hair with her left hand, while her right hand tensely clenched onto the handle of the gun, which she was pointing at Jake's back, who was leading her across a Bart station. Jake soon stopped in the middle of the station, much to the bewilderment of Daisy. However, the reason to why Jake had stopped here became known to the twin as a magical elevator appeared to pop through the ground from the very center of the Earth.
"This is how we get to Draco Island." Jake stated simply.
"Well, open it!" Daisy demanded.
"But…I don't know how…" Jake admitted after choosing his words carefully.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Daisy was shocked.
"Well, I never used the magical controls. My gramps was always the one…"
Daisy growled in frustration before she pulled her captive out from beside her and tossed her to the ground and pointed the gun at her head. "Open it or she dies!"
"Okay, okay!" Jake gave in. Turning his attention back to the elevator, he closed his eyes to collect his memory of the combination. As he finished the code, Daisy watched with wide eyes as the elevator doors slid open.
Trixie took this time to whirl around her fist and strike Daisy in the jaw. Her eyes widening in shock, Daisy fell backwards and the gun clattered to the ground. Daisy recovered quickly and attempted to reach for her weapon, only to have Trixie kick it across the ground and away from her grasp and forcing the twin to jump up and run toward it.
Seeing that she was in the clear, Trixie turned and sprinted to the American Dragon, who apparently didn't even notice the brawl that had just occurred. With a hasty apology, Trixie lightly shoved her friend into the shaft. Turning back to the panel, Trixie watched through the closing doors to see the enraged twin raising her weapon to fire as she sprinted toward the elevator. However, the door closed and Daisy was trapped outside. Trixie grinned with triumph as she listened to Daisy's enraged screams and her pounding at the doors.
"Yo Trix, what did you do that for?" Jake asked in shock.
"Jakey, I need to tell you something." Trixie replied.
"What?"
"It's about your Gramps…"
"Just tell me, Trixie!"
"Daisy lied to you…" Trixie answered. "She said that the wound was going to be fatal. She was lying, Jake! She lied so that you would surrender yourself."
"How do you know this?"
"Remember the chimera thing?" Trixie asked. "Dr. Trixie Carter, remember?'
"You rock, Trix!" Jake exclaimed, hugging her with a wide smile.
"But we still need to get him some medicine!" Trixie said finally. "And we need to warn the Dragon Council. If what Daisy said is true about her uncle being on the island, then they may be in danger."
"Right you are!" Jake walked over to the panel where he could hear Daisy's pounding and ranting clearer. "Let's give her a little taste of her own medicine…" Jake smiled as he pressed the down button. "Trix, you might want to hold onto something." As if to prove his point, Jake took a step back and grabbed onto the rail. At first, Trixie just stared at him with a blank look, but she soon caught on and grabbed onto the other rail on the other side just as the shaft shot down into the center of the planet. As the two held onto the rails with their eyes shut as tight as possible, both listened involuntarily to the screaming Daisy, who had been clutching onto the doors at the time that the shaft shot down.
LINE BREAK
As the elevator shot up at the Island of Draco from under the Earth, Daisy was thrown up like a rag doll, where she collided against the hard dirt; her gun clattering to the ground beside her. The twin tried to get to her feet as her enemies rushed out of the shaft, only to topple back down onto her side as she was too dazed to stand.
As Jake and Trixie reached the clearing, both of their jaws dropped as they saw a giant and glowing caged which contained all of the dragons and was guarded by a pink Chinese-Hairless cat.
Jake was so shocked and zoned out from what he saw that he didn't notice that Trixie had ducked for hiding in a bush and yelped as she pulled him down into the green leaves and branches with her.
"Yo Trix, we need to do something!"
"We can't do anything if we get captured." Trixie replied, just as both heroes heard a click as the barrel of Daisy's gun was cocked and pointed at them.
"How right you are…" Daisy grinned.
CUT TO BLACK; COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Back at the Long residence, Lao-Shi rolled himself over and tried to claw himself across the floor. However, the dragon master was surprised to hear a knock come from the door. Rolling over onto his side, Lao-Shi put his claws to his mouth and shouted: "Come back later!"
Unfortunately for the elder dragon, this only succeeded in the door being picked open. However, Lao-Shi was shocked to see Spud and a purple dragon, who rushed over to him. "Master Lao-Shi, are you alright?"
"I think so, Holly." Lao-Shi looked up to meet her gaze. "But I need you two to do something for me. Can you do this for me?"
"Anything…" Holly promised.
"There is a vial in that cabinet." The elder dragon used some of his remaining strength to point to the cabinet on the other side of the room. "Inside is an elixir…I need it!"
"Yes, sir." Holly quickly got herself up and flew over to the cabinet. Opening the cabinet, the purple dragon quickly found the vial and rushed back over to the injured master. Lao-Shi took the vial in his claws and downed the whole potion in one gulp. Feeling the pain from the wound in his tail fade away and feeling his strength return, Lao-Shi picked himself up.
"Spud tells me that Jake's in trouble." Holly explained.
"As a matter of fact, he is." Gramps answered. "We need to get to Draco Island."
With Holly lifting Spud up off his feet and putting him onto his back, both dragons took off into the sky.
LINE BREAK
Back at Draco Island, all dragons as well as Fu and Jonathan were trapped in the cage as Yan-Yan slowly paced back and forth, purring with pleasure over her success.
"You better not let me out of this cage, Yan-Yan!" Fu warned. "Because if you do, I am going to bite your tail off!"
"Shut up!" Yan-Yan screeched. "The only way you will ever get out of this cage is if you are all destroyed. Although, I'd like to see you try pooch…"
It was then that a portal completely made out of purple magic appeared. As the entire group of captive dragons stared in shock, the man completely in purple smiled as he slowly stepped out, swinging his green dragon staff.
"Aw, you have done well my kitten…" the man cooed. "So, I see that we have a mere human in a group of beasts…So, who is it?"
"It's me." Jonathan bravely answered. "What are you going to do about it?"
Before the masked man could even answer, he turned as he saw his niece emerge from the clearing with her gun pointed right at both Jake and Trixie.
"No, not you kids too!" Fu whined.
"That's right, them too." Daisy spat as she stopped in front of her uncle with her captive. "They put up a good fight, but now I have them. What shall I do with the, uncle?"
"Put the dragon in the cage." The masked man relished this. "As for the girl, dispose of her."
"Yes…" Daisy smiled as she shoved Trixie to the ground and forced Jake over to the glowing cage before shoving him against it. At first, Jake thought he was going to be fried by the glowing magic of the cage, but to his surprise, he went right through it and landed on his back onto the pile of dragons. One of the dragons he landed him on angrily pushed him off, where the American Dragon was greeted with a zap as he hit the bars.
"Whoops, sorry Jake-a-roo!" Jake looked up to see that the dragon that had pushed him was none other than Fred Nerk. Growling with irritation, Jake got up and turned around and watched as the masked man picked Trixie up and allowed Daisy to take aim.
"NO!" Jake shouted out; his scream vibrating off of a fire blast from up above, which blasted both Trixie and her captors off their feet and to the ground a couple of inches away. Jake looked up to see Holly, his grandfather and Spud, who was on Holly's back. To all of the captive's joy, the three landed; while the dragons went after the perpetrators, Spud ran over to the cage.
"How do I get you guys out of here?" despite the battle between the masked man, Daisy and the two dragons, Spud casually dropped his backpack to the ground and pulled out his laptop. "Is there a power cord or anything?"
"Does this look like a laboratory to you, huh?" Fu growled.
"Well…" Spud started to say, but he was cut off as a screeched Yan-Yan jumped up and brought the boy to the ground, trying to deflect her scratching.
"You will not free the prisoners!" Yan-Yan roared. However, neither attacking cat nor attacked boy noticed as the laptop bounced across the grass as touched the magic bars of the cage, shortening the magical fuse. Yan-Yan looked up with horror as the bars disappeared and the dragons soared free. "NOOOOOOOOO!"
Soon, all captives were out, except Fu, who was now staring at the rather petrified cat. "Well kitten, are you ready to taste the sweet tango of combat or not?" Fu growled.
"You have no idea…" Yan-Yan narrowed her eyes. With a screech, the cat charged at the dog and leaped off her legs in order to pounce. Opening her mouth to reveal her sharp teeth and extending her claws, Yan-Yan was ready to end her enemy. However, Fu was just as ready and pounced up into the air as well. Fu hit the cat head on, and they both tumbled to the ground. Fu landed on top, and the completely petrified cat scrambled out from underneath and scampered away as fast as she could, only to have Fu chasing after her while barking rabidly.
LINE BREAK
The fight between Lao-Shi and Holly verses the masked man and Daisy had recently come to an end, with all the previously trapped prisoners gathering around the two. Daisy had no fear of them and cockily pointed her gun at them all.
"Patience now, Daisy…" the masked man said. "You can not shoot them all. You shoot one and they all attack. You may be able to slay a couple of them, but one of them would be bound to defeat you."
"I can take them!" Daisy argued arrogantly.
"Yes, that is why you rotted in a prison for cell for a week…" the man rolled his eyes.
"Shut up!" Daisy yelled, now turning and pointing the gun at her uncle.
"Aw, my poor, poor niece…" the man smiled. "I foresaw your betrayal…It saddens me greatly. Oh well, this IS the thanks I get…"
"Stop bragging!" Daisy finally lost it, taking a shot at her uncle. With a grin, the masked man brought up his hand, which was surrounded with glowing purple magic. The blast of the gun was vaporized by the magic and Daisy was thrown backwards. As soon as the man turned around, he was greeted to Fred Nerk's growl as she tried to claw him. Grinning, the masked man brought up a glowing hand, stopping him in his tracks. With a yell, Fred Nerk was thrown backwards by the magic.
"You dragons have no idea of the power I possess!" The man laughed as he dodged attacks by Haley and Kulde. "I will show you!" The man now saddened insane as he twirled his green dragon staff before bringing it up to reveal the dragon mouth opening up and letting loose a torrent of fire.
In defense, Holly almost automatically rose up into the air and blasted him with fire. The masked man was thrown from the ledge of the island with a yell. Jake reached the end of the ledge just in time to see and hear a splash from several hundreds of feet below. Holly lowered with a look of shame on her face.
"What have I done?" she asked in shame.
"You did what you had to do." Jake said, even though he didn't like it that much either. "You didn't do anything wrong, Holly." The American Dragon started to walk over to his ally, only to be thrown to the ground as Daisy tackled him. As Jake reverted to his human form, Daisy reached into her pocket and pulled out a long and serrated dagger.
"I'm sorry, Jake." Daisy grinned. "But I know what's best for my sister!"
"Jake, catch!" Jake glanced behind Daisy to see Holly pick up the gun and toss it. As Daisy was too preoccupied, Jake easily grabbed it with his claws.
"You hate your sister…" Jake growled, bringing his head up and having it collide with Daisy's. With a yelp, Daisy fell sideways and Jake pinned her down. "You know, if you were Rose, I would like this a lot more…" Jake grinned.
Grimacing with disgust, Daisy scowled and slammed her fist into Jake's face. Jake yelped and fell sideways onto his back. Grimacing, Daisy shook out her now aching hand, yet she still stood and bent over and picked her dagger up.
Walking over to the dazed dragon, Daisy took a deep breath and brought the dagger high above her head in order to bring it down with a vengeance. However, a loud shot made both dragon and girl jump. Daisy's eyes widened in shock and she stuttered, not being able to say coherent words. In the blink of an eye, Daisy toppled sideways onto the ground and Jake could see his dragon grandfather holding Daisy's gun.
Getting to his feet, Jake looked down in shock to see Daisy hissing in pain as tears of anger, frustration and pain started to well up in her eyes and she brought her ankle up to her stomach and chest.
"Yo, Gramps…" Jake was suddenly interrupted as a large tsunami arose behind him from below. From the tidal wave of water, the masked man emerged and he was set down on the ledge by an arm of magical water.
As all the dragons stared at him in awe, the man lifted his purple hat off his head and bowed as if he had just performed the most death defying magic trick in the world. However, by the time he rose, the dragons had recovered from their shock and were now ganging up on him.
"Alas my magical chums…" the masked man smiled. "But it appears that it is time for me to take my leave." Swinging his green dragon staff around, a large amount of mist surrounded him before a green dragon shot up into the air with a roar. The green dragon had a chain around its neck and the masked man was being lifted into the air by the other end of the chain that he was gripping onto. "We will me again dragons. Until then… adios!"
As soon as the man and the dragon had disappeared, Jake was the first to recover and he looked at the other dragons. Holly seemed especially shocked; Jake finally learned why. "TJ?" she asked.
Jake and Holly were both brought out of their thoughts as they noticed that Daisy was slowly trying to crawl away. Grinning to each other, Jake and Holly flew over to the escapee just as she had grabbed a handful of purple magic powder that her uncle had dropped. Blowing on it, the dust spread apart and soon formed into a purple portal.
Before Daisy could crawl toward the portal, she was lifted up by Kulde and Jake walked up to her and faced her. "Daisy, it's over." He begged. "Please…give up this charade."
LINE BREAK
The American Dragon as well as the dragon forms of Holly and Lao-Shi as well as Fu Dog was all standing in the great hall of the council room. All turned their heads as Andam and Kulde walked in, escorting Daisy into the room.
Jake blinked as Councilor Omina seemed to come out of nowhere and plopped down a wooden chair, which Rose's sister was tossed against. Before Daisy could even pick herself up with her injured foot, Omina pulled her arms behind the chair; a click was heard as the shackles were locked and the prisoner trapped.
"What is this about?" Daisy demanded.
"Quiet!" Andam declared. "We will be the ones asking you the questions."
Andam then took a step to the side to allow Holly to walk over to the girl. "Do you really think you are going to break me or something?" Daisy grinned.
"That's not my intention." Holly answered softly as she reverted herself to her human form and gazed at the girl. "But what I need is for you to tell me all you know about your uncle."
"Why would I do that?" Daisy's grin widened; she was quite amused by this dragon's innocence, trust and utter stupidity.
"Please Daisy…" Holly refused to lose her temper. "I'm begging you for cooperation. Your uncle has my brother. I know you don't care much for siblings, but I do. My brother is my best friend and I want to save him. If you have any good inside you, you will tell me all that you know."
LINE BREAK
The next morning at school, Jake was at his locker in the hallways of Millard Fillmore High School. After grabbing his book for English, Jake closed his locker and turned only to jump in shock as he saw Danika.
"Hey Jake…" she appeared rather shy.
"Can I help you with something?" Jake could have sworn that he felt himself inching away from the girl. Even though Rose was gone, Jake wasn't completely sure that he felt comfortable around Danika anymore; not since Danika believing Vickie and trying to destroy him.
"I just wanted to thank you for the rescue last week." Danika replied. "I tried calling but nobody was home…all weekend! Were you busy with your dragon stuff or something?"
"Danika!" Jake silenced her. "You are aware that that's supposed to be a secret right?"
"Oh, sorry…" Danika trailed off. "Anyway, I never really got to thank you."
"Hey, it's no prob!"
"So, if you want…" Danika looked up hopefully. "We could hang out. Maybe I could help you out with your dragon things."
"Thanks…" Jake smiled, not wanting to hurt her again. "But I don't think that that would be a good idea. You know…with what happened last time…I mean; you wouldn't want to be captured again, would you?"
"Oh…" Danika looked sad. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Jake answered confidently, trying to give her a small smile just to show her that it wasn't anything wrong with her. Unfortunately, this didn't do so well; Jake was pushed against his locker with a grunt and a bang of metal.
As Jake slid to the ground, he watched out of the corner of his eye as Danika ran away crying like a baby. Sighing, Jake spoke to himself: "Women…"
BLACKOUT; END OF EPISODE
A/N: Yeah, this chapter/episode's plot was kind of similar to a Clone Wars episode…So, just to be safe, I don't own that series either. This was not my intention, to be perfectly honest; my intention was to reveal who had Holly's brother. I hope that there are enough things making it so that it differs from the Clone Wars episode.
One more thing: If you have read this, PLEASE drop a review for me. It makes me sad when I only get one review (thanks for always reviewing Luiz4200 =) !) and my "hits" drop significantly every chapter I post even when I work hard on the chapter. Is my quality declining or something?
