American Dragon Season Three
Chapter/Episode 19: Forever Am Drag Part 1
On the Island of Draco, Councilors Andam and Kulde, as well as TJ stood in the main hall, waiting. Seconds later, a purple dragon appeared at the door, walking in. "You wanted to see me, Councilors?" Holly asked.
"Please sit down, Holly…" Andam replied. Curious, Holly walked over and sat down by her brother. "We have received a rather disturbing message from Master Lao-Shi…"
"What kind of message?" Holly was worried now. "Did something happen to Jake? To any of his friends…?"
"Let's just say that last night, your friend almost met his match…" TJ replied.
"Chang believes that the American Dragon is dead." Kulde finished. "Surely, she will set her plan in motion. Not even this island will be safe."
"This is why we want you to take this…" Andam reached from the desk and pulled out a staff. At first Holly didn't know what it was, but on further inspection, she could see that it was the staff that contained her mother.
"Why do you want me to take this?" Holly asked. "Do you honestly think that I can keep it safe?"
"It isn't safe here, Holly." TJ replied. "Chang will most likely attack not only humans, but anyone she deems a traitor to the Magical World. Anywhere is safer than here."
There was suddenly a flash of violet light as Chang appeared; with her stood her allies: Anderson and Vickie. "How right you are…" Chang sneered, firing violet strips from her staff, each one sending the Councilors and TJ against the wall, pinning them there.
"Holly, take the staff and save yourself!" TJ called.
"Oh, it's far too late for that…" Chang grinned as she pointed her staff at Holly. "Give me my daughter, and perhaps I will give my granddaughter the pleasure of a quick demise."
"You're going to have to fight me for it, Chang!" Holly soared into the air, releasing a torrent of fire. Chang evaded this, flying at Holly and trying to swipe her with her claws. Holly backed up from the attacks, also trying to swipe at her enemy, but also using the staff to her advantage.
However, Chang was able to grab hold of the staff and twirl around her foe, leaving Chang in back of her and Holly defenseless. Before Holly could even turn around, Chang jabbed her in the back with her staff, and in pain, Holly fell to the ground, the dragon staff clattering to the ground right after.
Gritting her teeth, Holly tried to reach for the staff that imprisoned her mother, only to yell out in pain as Anderson out his foot down on her arm. Chang lowered to the ground and used her tail to snag the staff that she wanted. Anderson bent down and forced Holly to her feet, grabbing her throbbing arm and forcing it behind her back to the point where her palm was touching her shoulder blade, causing Holly even more pain.
"Hopefully my daughter will be more powerful than you are, Holly." Chang sneered. "Vickie, keep watch on those prisoners while I take care of my granddaughter."
"Yes, master." Vickie replied as she walked over to the restrained council.
LINE BREAK
Holly hissed in pain all the way down the halls that contained the cells to all the violators of the Magical World. Chang suddenly stopped in her tracks as she stared into a cell. Inside the cell, sat a pale looking figure wearing a red jacket a half pants/half shorts. Chang suddenly grinned. "So…it is true…"
"What's true?" Anderson asked.
"The rumors…" Chang replied. "Jake Long did indeed create an evil chi doppelganger!" Chang's grin widened as she let out an evil laugh. "This is perfect! Lao-Shi saw his grandson die! Oh, imagine the look on his face when he starts to believe that Long survived. And then image the look on his face when he sees his 'grandson' join my side as I tear his throat out!"
Laughing with glee, Chang used her claws to slash the lock to the cell; throwing the cell door open, Chang pulled the evil doppelganger out. Turning, Chang could see that Holly had a grin of her own on her face. "What are you smiling about?" Chang demanded.
"I thought that the all-knowing Chang would know…" Holly replied. "But I guess you don't…Jake's alive!"
"You lie!" Anderson roared, yanking her arm even more, bringing Holly to her knees as a snap was heard. "I saw him fall! He was in chains! There was no way he could have survived!"
Despite the intense pain, Holly's grin stayed on her face. "You have the proof right in front of you…if the caster of the doppelganger dies, then so does the doppelganger!"
Chang's eyes widened, and a second later, she roared with rage as she grabbed Holly by the collar of her shirt and tossed her into the cell, slamming the door shut. As Yang Jake used a blast of fire to melt the lock, sealing Holly inside the cell, Chang grabbed Anderson by the hair and dragged him as she stormed down the hall.
"You useless failure!" Chang seethed. "You are as good as slain!" Chang angrily threw Anderson against the wall as Chang brought one of her long, sharp and deadly claws up. However, before Chang could finish him, a hand reached out of another cell and grabbed onto her ankle.
Lowering the claw, Chang looked down as a grin spread across her face. In the cell was a girl with matted blonde hair; the girl wore a white top and pink jeans. Daisy scowled at Chang as they made eye contact.
"So…Jake's precious hunter has a sister…"
"You're not thinking of letting her go, are you?" Anderson found his courage. "Maybe you've forgotten, but she's an inferior human!"
"Maybe…" Chang turned her head so that Anderson could see her eyes. "But this way I can kill two birds with one stone. She will serve my purpose…"
BLACKOUT; THEME SONG PLAYS
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Meanwhile, in an unknown town, Rose exited her bedroom and yawned as she slowly made her way to the kitchen, where her father was reading the newspaper and her mother was setting the table. "Oh Rose…" her mother smiled. "Sit down! Breakfast is almost ready."
"If you don't mind, mom…" Rose replied slowly. "I'm just going to get dressed and get some breakfast at school…"
Moments later, Rose came back into the kitchen wearing a blue tank top and a black skirt. Rose walked into the kitchen where she grabbed her backpack off the counter. Although her mother tried to get her to stay, Rose exited the room, and seconds later, they could hear the front door closing as Rose left.
"I just don't get it…" Rose's mother sighed as she sat down. "Rose doesn't talk to us anymore. All she does while she is home is stay in her room. Do you think she's mad at us?"
"She misses the city." Rose's father replied. "She misses that Jake Long kid…"
"I think she just needs a new boyfriend." Rose's mother replied. "It would make her happy. Besides, back in New York, she got in too much trouble. Trust me; I know what is best for my daughter."
LINE BREAK
As Rose walked down the sidewalk on the way to her new school, she was completely unaware to the girl with matted blonde hair watching her from another house's roof.
LINE BREAK
Meanwhile, back in New York, Jonathan Long pulled his car over as the side door opened and his son, Jake Long stepped out. "Have a super-duper day at school, my little Jake-a-roo!" Jonathan smiled as he drove off.
Jake groaned as the kids around him laughed. Jake looked up as his two best friends, Trixie and Spud, walked up to him. "Aw yes…" Spud sighed. "Even though your dad knows about your secret, he still fails to understand…"
"Besides Jakie…" Trixie replied. "We only have another year left until we can actually drive."
"I suppose so…" Jake replied, and then he looked at his watch. "Aw man! C'mon guys, we have to get to Douglass' class before he gives us all detention!"
LINE BREAK
It was after sunset when Rose decided to come home. Rose sighed as she slowly approached the steps to her house. Sighing, Rose bent over and removed the key to the house from under the welcome mat. Putting the key in the hole and turning it, Rose pushed the door open and stepped into the house, only to find that it was completely dark inside.
"Mom?" Rose asked. "Dad? Are you here?"
Rose continued to walk around the house, first going into the kitchen, only to find it vacant as well. "Is anyone home?" Rose called out.
A light suddenly flashed on and Rose squinted as she noticed someone sitting on the couch. "Dad, is that you?" Rose asked as she turned around only to gasp. "Jake!" She screamed with joy.
Rushing over to the couch, Rose pulled Jake up to her and gave him a tight hug. "Jake, I'm so happy to see you!" Rose exclaimed. "I thought I would never see you again! Did you miss m…?" Rose started to ask, but Jake freed one of his arms free and formed a red clawed hand, bringing it down on the girl that was practically hugging him to death.
Rose gasped as she backed off, clutching her arm. "Tell me…Huntsgirl…" Jake spoke. "What do you know about doppelgangers?"
Rose's eyes widened as she stared into the ones that belonged to Jake. As she stared, her heart skipped a beat as she saw a red fire burning inside his eyes. "You're a doppelganger!" Rose managed to gasp out.
"You are so smart…" the doppelganger replied, rolling his evil filled eyes.
Rose didn't know what to do. She didn't know that doppelgangers could be evil or go against their creators. This doppelganger was dangerous. She had to get her staff and fight this monster. Rose found herself slowly backing up, hoping to get to her room. However, she stopped with another gasp as she felt something touch the back of her skull. Turning around, Rose saw her sister, holding what appeared to be a pistol. She cocked the gun.
"Hello, Rosie…"
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
"Daisy…" Rose asked, slowly backing up from her sister, only to remember that she only had the doppelganger to run in to. "How did you escape from prison?"
"I had a little help, sis." Daisy frowned. "I got a little help from an old enemy of yours: Councilor Chang. She shouldn't have helped me, though. I shouldn't have even been imprisoned! I'm fifteen!"
"What do you want?" Rose demanded. "Mom and Dad aren't home."
"I'm more than well aware of that, Rosie." Daisy replied, grinning. "You see, Councilor Chang gave me a mission that I am to complete. The kidnapping of dearest Mom and Dad…"
Whatever fear Rose had of her sister's weapon went away, replaced by rage. "Where are they?!" Rose demanded. "What have you done with them?!"
"Relax, Rosie." Daisy replied. "They are perfectly safe…for now. Oh sis, I'm sorry! Does that remind you of something?"
"Stop torturing her!" The doppelganger demanded. "You can do that later! Just get on with it!"
"Anyway…" Daisy aimed the gun at her sister. "Mom and Dad are safe…for now. And they will remain that way…as long as you do something for me…"
"What do you want me to do?" Rose was defeated.
"I want you to slay the American Dragon…"
"What?" Rose brought her lowered head up. "Never! I will never slay Jake!"
"Oh, alright…" Daisy had a look of mock sadness in her voice. "Yang, why don't you go to Chang and tell her that she won't do it."
"Gladly…" Yang Jake waved his arms as he transformed into a red dragon.
"In the meantime…" Daisy put her finger on the trigger. "I'll just have to slay you myself…"
"Just as long as Jake is safe…" Rose shot back at her sister. Yang Jake stopped in his tracks and laughed at this.
"Oh sis…" Daisy rolled her eyes. "Chang will find your boyfriend and destroy him if you don't. You have two options. One: Destroy the American Dragon and be reunited with your family. Or the other: refuse and die. But if you refuse, your sacrifice will be in vain. Not only will Chang track your boyfriend down, but your parents will also pay the price."
Rose just stared at her sister with pleading eyes as sweat rolled down her face. Daisy seemed to feel no sympathy for her and only asked: "What will it be, Rosie?"
"Please Daisy!" Rose begged. "Don't do this!"
"Must I remind you what will happen if you don't choose correctly?" Yang Jake yelled from behind Daisy. He walked over to Daisy and pulled the gun from her and pointed it at a picture on the mantle. Firing, a green shot of plasma came out of the gun and hit the picture.
Shaking violently, Rose walked over to the mantle and picked up the picture to see that right where her parent's heads were, there was now only a large hole.
LINE BREAK
Around the same time, Jake arrived back at the shop after some dragon emergency. Jake reverted back to his human form as he opened the door. Jake was surprised to see that the lights to the shop were off, and nobody seemed to be there.
Jake shrugged this off. "They must be at their weekly Word-Cross competition…" Going back to his dragon form, Jake flew off.
LINE BREAK
Jake swooped down at his house and powered down in mid-air, dropping down on his front porch. Jake opened the door and stepped in, only to find his house pitch dark, just like Canal Street Electronics. Jake still wasn't convinced, and he tossed his backpack to the ground before going upstairs.
Jake reached the door to his room and stepped in. Kicking off his shoes, Jake lied down on his bed and pulled his MP3 Player close to him from his nightstand. Sighing, Jake put the earphones on and turned on the player, putting his head down on the pillow as he enjoyed the music.
However, Jake suddenly jumped up in shock as something shattered through his window. Jake immediately jumped up and flipped off his bed, transforming into a dragon in a bright blue light before he touched the ground. Jake looked to his bed only to see a brick. "Say what?" Jake asked as he walked over to his bed. Jake picked the brick up, but as he held it in his claws, a dragon's tail came through the shattered window and wrapped around his neck, strangling Jake.
The tail suddenly released Jake, and Jake felt himself being thrown backwards, as Jake landed on his back, a dragon flew in through the window. At first Jake didn't recognize the dragon, but after his eyes adjusted to the light, he did: "Mrs. Jennings?"
"That's right, Jake." Mrs. Jennings growled as she tried to blast fire at Jake, but Jake lifted off his feet and soared into the hallway. Growling with rage, Mrs. Jennings followed after him, but once she got to the stair case, she could not see him.
"Where are you, Jake?" Mrs. Jennings grinned. "There is nothing to worry about. I don't want to hurt you; I just want to talk…"
"Oh yeah?" Mrs. Jennings let out a yell as Jake slammed his dragon feet into her scaly chest, sending her crashing through the railing. Jake looked down in time to see Mrs. Jennings land on the floor, reverting to human form as she lost consciousness.
Cautiously, Jake lowered himself to the ground right beside the villain. To make sure that she was actually down, Jake put his foot under her shoulder and nudged it. Sure that Mrs. Jennings was down; Jake reverted to his human form and rushed over to the back door. Jake threw the door open only to come face to face with Councilor Chang.
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
"Ch…Ch…Chang…" Jake gasped.
Chang chuckled evilly as she grabbed Jake by the shoulders and hurled him to the ground. Jake rolled over onto his back and tried to scoot away as Chang approached him. "Jake, Jake, Jake…" Chang sighed. "You are so predictable…"
"Where is my family, Chang?" Jake asked. "I know you have something to do with this!"
"As a matter of fact…" Chang smiled. "I did, Jake. And I warn you…If you ever want to see them alive again, I suggest you cooperate with me. I will be more than happy to release them…if you do something for me."
"I'm not going to do any of your evil, ugly bidding, Chang!" Jake got ho his feet, and with his signature call of "Dragon Up!" transformed into a dragon.
"Then I will destroy them!" Chang replied. "You can try to fight me, but you know the truth. You will submit to my command…You will slay your precious hunter."
"What…?" Jake asked, shocked and horrified. "You're not getting your filthy hands on my Rose!" Jake tried to fly at Chang, but the older female dragon lifted off her feet and slammed into him. Jake fell back and he felt her staff being pressed against his throat.
"You will slay her, Jake…" Chang grinned. "Or your family members will meet their ends…"
Thinking quickly, Jake focused and let loose a torrent of fire, catching Chang of guard. With a yell, Chang was thrown backwards where she slammed into the house. Chang recovered quickly, and as she stood up and reverted to her human form, she watched Jake fly away.
LINE BREAK
Having reverted to his human form minutes ago, Jake sprinted down the streets until he reached his desired destination: Trixie's house. Jake rushed up the steps and pounded on the door until Trixie answered it. "Jakie, what's going on?" she demanded.
"I need your help!" Jake replied. "Is Spud here?"
"Yeah…" Trixie replied as Jake rushed in. "Jakie, what is going on?"
Jake didn't answer, as he found Spud sitting on the couch, playing a videogame. "Spud!" Jake called, making his friend turn his head. "Spud, I need your help."
"Sure dude…" Spud replied, setting the controller down and standing up off the couch. "What do ya need?"
"My family has been captured by Chang!" Jake exclaimed. "And she's telling me that if I don't slay Rose, she'll slay them!"
"Are you serious?" Trixie asked from behind.
"Spud, I need your wand." Jake continued. "I have to get to Draco Island! Maybe the Dragon Council can help me!"
LINE BREAK
A flash of blue light flashed as a dragon Jake and his friends appeared on the Island of Draco. "Dang Spudinski, you really got a hang of that thing!" Trixie commended her friend.
"Well, I was practicing with Stacey…" Spud replied, blushing as he said her name.
"Shh!" Jake suddenly spoke. "Look!" He pointed to a wall where Councilors Andam, Kulde and Omina as well as TJ were pinned against with magic velvet strips. Jake slowly made his way over to them.
"Dragon Long!" Andam whispered. "You have to be careful. One of Chang's minions is here!"
"Jake, look out!" TJ suddenly called.
Jake turned his head just in time to see a blast of siren power coming for him. Jake swooped into the air and looked down to see a very angry looking Vickie staring at him. "Why did you have to come here, Jake?" she asked. "And I was just about ready to let the thought of you slip from my mind!"
"Just get over it, Vickie!" Jake blew fire at Vickie, which she managed to dodge. "You're an evil freak!"
Vickie growled with rage as she opened her mouth, about to release some siren power, but she felt herself being lifted off the ground as Jake lowered himself to the ground and reverted to human form.
"What are you doing?" Vickie demanded, trying to fight the hold on her.
"I'm not doing anything to you, Vickie." Jake smiled as Spud walked up, pointing his wand at her, keeping her in the air.
"I was defeated by this loser?" Vickie was in shock. "No!"
"He's not a loser, he's a wizard…" Jake replied.
LINE BREAK
Trixie and Spud now stood right by Vickie, who was now sitting on the ground, bound tightly with rope. As they guarded the new prisoner, Jake pried the velvet magical strips away from TJ, as the Councilors had already been freed.
"Jake, have you seen my sister?" TJ asked immediately after he was freed.
"No…"
"She was taken by Chang into the cell area…" TJ continued. "I haven't seen her since. I fear the worst for her."
"Don't worry about her, Mr. Jennings…" Andam replied. "She is a very talented dragon. I am sure that she is fine."
LINE BREAK
The heroes were now wandering the halls of the prison cells. "Do you see any sign of her?" TJ asked worriedly. Behind them, Trixie and Spud were looking inside each individual cell, but could find no sign of Holly.
"We found her, Teej!" Jake's voice from a couple of cells away rang out. TJ panted as he sprinted down the hall to see his sister sitting in the cell, nursing her arm. "Holly!" TJ said happily. "Don't worry; we're going to get you out of here!" TJ then grabbed hold of the bars in an attempt to rip them off, but he couldn't. "Why can't I get these out?" TJ asked.
"The bars were created to be powerful enough to keep dangerous dragons inside." Kulde replied.
"But the lock is melded shut!" Jake replied. "How are we going to get her out?"
"Yoo-hoo!" Spud walked up with Trixie walking right beside him. "Never underestimate the power of my wand!" As Spud pointed the wand at the cell bars and the as the wand started to glow, Trixie and Jake both rolled their eyes.
Finally, the cell door fell to the ground with a clang, and TJ rushed into the cell and hugged Holly. Holly weakly wrapped one of her arms around her brother and gave him a small hug.
"Holly, are you okay?" TJ asked.
"I think so…" Holly replied weakly. "But I think my…I think my arm is broken."
LINE BREAK
Jake watched alongside TJ and the Council as Holly sat in the infirmary. Fred Nerk had her arm extended so that he could inspect it. "Yep…" Nerk finally said. "It's broken, alright."
"How long will it take to heal?" Holly asked.
"I don't know, to be perfectly honest, Sheila…" Nerk replied. "What I'm going to do is I'm going to give you a splint…" Nerk went over to a drawer and pulled out a splint. "Okay, this might hurt a little…" Holly hissed in pain as Nerk bent her arm so that the splint could be applied.
"So…" Holly spoke to the others. "I suppose that we need to defeat Chang once and for all, huh?"
"Yes." Andam spoke. "Dragon Long has just told us something that disturbs us greatly. It seems that Chang has captured his entire family and has ordered him to slay the Huntsgirl in exchange for their safe return."
"What?" Holly's shock turned to anger as she stood up. "We'll fight them together! No one threatens my friends!"
"Holly, you're hurt!" TJ replied. "You are not going in there. Here you will be safe."
"But I want to fight!" Holly replied. "Rose is my friend! No one threatens my friends!"
"Holly, I think I agree with your brother…" Jake replied. "You have been a great help, and I appreciate your offer, and I'm sure Rose would too, if she knew what was going on. But I don't want you to get hurt."
"But Jake…" Holly started.
"You are staying here, where you will be safe." TJ replied. "I am your guardian now, and what I say is final."
"We will need an army…" Kulde spoke.
"I would be honored to fight, Councilors…" Nerk stepped up and bowed out of respect. "It only seems fair. Jake-a-roo saved me, and now I'm going to help my mate."
"Very well, Dragon Nerk." Andam replied. "Jake, we need you to go back to New York. You must find Rose and protect her at all costs. We will summon an army."
LINE BREAK
A red dragon swooped down in front of a large warehouse. The dragon reverted to its human form as it stepped in. Yang Jake grinned as he approached Chang, who was relaxing in front of a table, taking a sip of tea.
"The hunter is going to go through with it." Yang Jake reported.
"Excellent…" Chang grinned. "While my two enemies destroy each other, I will finally enslave the human race, just like my dark master wished to do."
"But what about the sister?" the evil doppelganger asked. "What are we going to do with her?"
"She will be the very first to be enslaved…" Chang took another sip of tea.
LINE BREAK
A flash of blue appeared in the streets of New York as Jake Long, Trixie and Spud appeared at the Long residence. "Well guys…" Jake sighed. "We have a huge battle in front of us. I hope that it all turns out alright."
"Relax Jakie…" Trixie tried to soothe her friend. "Remember, you're the Am Drag! The Aztec Crystal Skull thing turned out alright, you've survived the wrath of the Dark Dragon three times…You'll do fine."
"Yeah!" Spud added. "Besides, you've got a big army!"
"I guess you guys are right…" Jake smiled.
"We'll see you in time for the epic battle, buddy." Spud spoke as Trixie got near to him; Spud raised his wand and the two disappeared in a blue light.
Smiling, Jake walked up the stairs to his house and attempted to open the door, only to see that it was locked. Jake suddenly turned when he heard evil chuckling. In the streets, Jake could see Daisy, holding the key to the house out in front of him.
"Oh dear, are you locked out Jake?" she mocked. "Although, I think this is actually a good thing…" Daisy suddenly pointed up, and Jake looked up just in time to see Rose jump from the roof of a house with a ninja cry. "Oh, lookie who it is…" Daisy grinned. "You kids have fun…" Daisy then backed away.
As soon as Rose landed on the ground, Jake could take a better look at her. Rose was wearing her blood-red Huntsclan uniform, minus the mask. Her staff was in her hands, and she looked angry.
"Rose…" Jake asked. "What are you doing?"
"Jake…" Rose replied, her eyes filled with regret. "Please forgive me…" And then what happened next caught Jake really off-guard. "Hiyah!" Rose shouted as she charged at Jake, her staff glowing…
LINE BREAK
As many cars drove by on the streets and as others walked on the sidewalks, all humans seemed to not notice as a dragon flew past and landed on a roof. Mrs. Jennings grinned as she revealed that she carried Chang's staff. Looking down on the unsuspecting human population, Mrs. Jennings grinned as she boomed:
"Pathetic humans of the world…!" All looked up at what they suspected to be a mentally unstable person preaching hate speech on the rooftops, but instead they saw a female holding onto a red staff.
"You are not fit to be the dominate species on this planet!" Mrs. Jennings continued as she held the staff high in the air. "The only things you are worth being are slaves! So bow down to your new rulers…THE DRAGONS OF THE WORLD!!!"
However, before anything could happen, a blast of fire came right behind Mrs. Jennings. Shocked, the older dragon turned to see her daughter, Holly. "Aw, Holly…" Mrs. Jennings smiled evilly. "You are just in time to see my victory over the human race…" However, her grin faded as she looked down to see that the people were instead continuing down the road. "NO!" Mrs. Jennings shouted in horror.
"Give it up, mom…" Holly took off into the air. "This isn't you. You don't see the humans as inferior things to step on. Besides, they'd never believe you now that I've interfered. They just think you are some crazy lady. But then again, you actually kind of are…"
Holly growled as she flew at her mother, but her mother just grinned as she rose into the air and slammed into her daughter. Holly fell to the ground, groaning in pain. "Like my father before me, my mother has given me dark powers beyond your comprehension…"
Despite the pain, Holly forced herself onto her feet. "I'd like to see those powers!" Holly attempted once more attack her mother, but her mother held out her hand as blue sparks shot out, sending Holly against the roof once more.
Grinning, Mrs. Jennings lowered her hand as a length of chains came down and clattered against the roof. Grinning, Mrs. Jennings went over to her daughter a kneeled down, wrapping the chains around her groaning daughter's neck.
A bunch of smoke soon appeared, but as soon as it started, it had stopped. Laughing evilly, Mrs. Jennings held up a purple dragon staff in her claws.
LINE BREAK
Meanwhile, Jake groaned mentally as he continued to dodge Rose's attacks. This was like Homecoming night all over!
After trying to hit him for a couple minutes, Rose was starting to get really tired; she started to pant heavily. Perhaps the stress was becoming too much for her. Jake took his chance; with a roar, Jake grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her against her back.
"Just stop, Rose!" Jake pleaded. "I don't want to fight you! Can you just tell me what the heck is going on?"
As her panting stopped, Jake could see the fear and regret in her eyes. "Jake…" she spoke. "Jake…Jake, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for this…"
"Forgive you for what?" Jake asked, but the answer became painfully clear when Rose smashed her head into his. As Jake got off of her and backed off while groaning in pain, Rose jumped to her feet and grabbed her staff.
"Jake, I'm sorry." She repeated. "But if I don't slay you, Chang will slay my parents."
"What?" Jake asked, the pain leaving. "Did you just say that Chang is forcing you to attack me? That's funny, because Chang told me that if I don't slay you, she'll slay my family."
The two suddenly heard a roar of anger as they turned their heads to look at Daisy. "NO!" Daisy shouted. "You are supposed to destroy each other!" Jake could have sworn that he saw steam coming from Daisy's head…, or maybe he was just imagining things. "But not to worry, I can take care of that myself…" Daisy pulled out her gun and pointed it at the two. "Prepare to be slain…"
LINE BREAK
Fu Dog let out a groan as he came back to the world of reality. Lifting his head up, he could see that he was in a dark basement area with a steel collar around his neck with a chain attached. Looking around, he could see that Lao-Shi, Haley, Jonathan and Susan also had the same treatment, as well as two other people.
Getting up and making it over to his companion, Fu Dog licked Lao-Shi's face until he groaned and came to. "Fu Dog!" Lao-Shi yelled. "What are you doing?"
"Glad to see that you're okay, Gramps…" Fu Dog replied as he went over to Susan and licked her awake. "Jonathan, stop it!" Susan said as her eyes snapped open, only to realize that it was actually Fu. "Oh Fu, it's just you…"
"Yeah, it's just me…" Fu made his way over to Jonathan and licked him awake.
Fu started to make his way to Haley, but the eight year old girl groaned and came back to the world of reality on her own. Looking around, she asked: "Where are we?"
"We don't know, Haley…" Lao-Shi replied.
"Wait, what is he doing here?" Haley suddenly pointed across the room, and they could see that Dylan Anderson was sleeping while sitting on a stool.
"Chang…" Lao-Shi growled.
"He must be guarding us…" Susan replied.
"He is…" everyone gasped when they heard a voice.
"Eye of the Dragon!" Haley called, and she could suddenly see in the dark. Looking to the back of the room, she could see a teal dragon with many bruises sitting upright against a wooden post with her hands locked behind her. "SUN!"
BLACKOUT; END OF CHAPTER/EPISODE
A/N: So, there is part one of the two-part finale. Even though both are posted now, I'd really appreciate it if you left a review for both chapters.
