Episode Seven – The Real Training Begins

Disclaimer - I own absolutely nothing

It was on a particularly average looking type of day within the ever-busy and ever-magical marketplace known as the Magus Bazaar that our story truly began to unfold. However, it was only after we are shown a few glimpses of the usual type of status quo within the Magus Bazaar that we are then brought right into the real meat of the episode itself; which was some sort of secret meeting that was being held within some sort of secret lair of some kind, a meeting that was between the members of a gang of some pretty nasty looking goblin mobsters. For you see; they were all, currently, having a meeting to discuss the most recent hardships that their particular gang has been forced to endure within the past most recent of days, and how it has been affecting them and their once amazing profit margins in a very big and very discouraging type of way. And, in the end, it was, ultimately, decided that, if the gang was going to, at least, keep itself going in these very difficult times, they were all going to have to start bringing in some new recruits into their particular gang. But, it was not just more new goblins that they were all going to need, oh-no-no-no-no-no; they were all in agreement that they were all going to need a whole new brand of muscle entirely on their side for them to survive these kinds of rough times. Or at least that was what one of their more high-ranking goblin members declared was going to be pretty much forthcoming and the goblin mob boss, who had decided to agree with him, ultimately decided to make it 100% official, right then and there, right afterwards.

It was at this point that one of the goblins of a much lower echelon decided to make a little tiny suggestion to his goblin don (or whatever), one that was, apparently, in relation to where they could all quite easily find the muscle that they were all in very much in need of. For you see, this particular goblin knew of some new 'initiates' into the Magical world underworld and they were all quite eager and anxious to ally themselves with someone who knew their way around the Magical Black Market. And so, since he could not really afford to pass up any type of new recruitment at all, the goblin mob boss decided to allow this 'lower associate' of his to bring these new recruits to him, just as soon as possible, in order get a better feel about what they could possibly offer him and the rest of his gang. Although, even if they did manage pass that very basic little inspection, by the sound of them, there would still be a whole lot of training just ahead of them before they could ever make full-time gang members. Enter the transition to the main title sequence and opening credits

(New Opening Sequence)

Meanwhile, though, way back at the still ever-devoid-of-all-kinds-of-customers electronics shop known as Canal Street Electronics, we are then shown that our dear young friend, Mr. Jake Long, was currently discussing just a couple of very important things with his new young Dragon pupil-to-be, Miss Mayzie Brooks. For you see, today was the day that our dear young Miss Mayzie was going to officially begin with her real Dragon training, and, to sum it all up, what Jakey was actually taking the time to tell her was that this was going to be a very difficult experience for her in the long run. He went on to state that it wasn't always going to be easy and it wasn't always going to be fun, but, nevertheless, though, it was still something that they were both going to go through together, because that's what all members of the Dragon order do during the initial dragon training stage and that was definitely something that Jake stated that he was going to do during this particular type of training. However, all of this was somewhat ineffectual in getting through to our dear little Miss Mayzie Brooks as something negative, and that was because of the fact that she was simply just plain eager and excited to get started on her official dragon training, period. Mostly, this was because of the fact that she really wanted to be able to do all of the things that she has seen Jake Long, Lao-Shi and Sun Park all do in their respective dragon forms.

Although, the young Miss Mayzie did start to show some degree of distress of some type, once she actually heard what sounded like her faithful canine, Windchill the Tibetan spaniel, loudly barking and yelping in utter alarm, and when she actually saw her run out of the shop's back room with George the pixie actually following her rather closely from right behind. For you see, as it would happen to turn out, our dear little Mr. George D. Flutteringson was actually attempting to try give Windchill a nice, warm and refreshing bubbly bath, but, for reasons that were completely unknown to the pixie at this particular moment in time, she would not cooperate with him in any way, shape or form, much to his initial confusion, to say the absolute least. It was at this very same moment in time that the duo consisting of the old and grey-haired Chinese dragon, Lao-Shi, and his animal Guardian, Fu-Dog, both entered the room, after having already seen both George and Windchill actively playing cat and mouse whilst they were both previously in the same room with them already. But, while Fu-Dog was undeniably quite amused by the very notion of George's apparent inability to catch Windchill in order to give her a bubbly bath, Lao-Shi, on the other hand, was quite eager to ask Mayzie to do something about her dog, in order for them all to see the end of this 'ridiculous nonsense'. And so, Miss Mayzie actually began to make an attempt to start doing just that and, first, she started by asking George exactly where all of this mess actually began in the first place, right from the very beginning when he first started having trouble from Windchill while trying to give her bath.

Apparently, this mess all originally began because Mayzie's little Tibetan spaniel actually saw George properly heat up her prospective bath by using his own pixie magic, and that was a problem because, normally, in the past, Miss Mayzie has always used her very own fire-breath to heat Windchill's bath water, and thus, this new type of water-heating method was still a little bit unfamiliar for the tiny, little, furry dog, a fact that young Mayzie could have quite easily helped to explain, if George had actually come to her first. Now, this, of course, made the teensy-weensy little Mr. George D. Flutteringson feel just a teensy-weensy bit embarrassed about everything and it certainly did not help matters at all when he actually saw that Fu-Dog was still just continuing on to make fun of this teensy-weensy little mistake of his in a very grandiose and annoying manner. However, this still did not stop Mayzie, who had already managed to scoop up her little Windchill by this point, from offering her help in assisting George in getting her dog into her nice warm bubbly bath, something that she truly believed that Windchill needed to have after the two of them have lived in poverty for so very long. And once they were all, finally, headed right back into the shop's back room, Jake Long was, at last, finally, left completely alone with both Lao-Shi and Fu-Dog, who were both quite equally interested in knowing just how Jake was, currently, adjusting to his new responsibilities as both a mentor and a teacher, after having been the student himself for such a very long period of time. It was much to their initial collective surprises, however, to hear that the usually quite confident and cocky Mr. Jacob Luke Long was actually feeling just a teeny-weeny bit uncertain about all of this, as he made it quite clear when responds to their questions by saying-

"Well, to be perfectly honest with you guys, I'm just a little bit at a complete and total loss on how I'm supposed be pulling this shtick off. You see, I've never really ever actually taught somebody about how to do something before. I mean, sure, I once helped a group of campers actually learn how to play some fun camp games back at Camp Mugwomp, but, I've-I've-I've never, never actually trained another Dragon before, ya know, so I'm, uh, I'm-I'm-I'm a little bit, ya know, nervous about this one, ya know what I'm sayin', you guys, huh?"

It was about at this point that the old Lao-Shi actually attempted to reassure Jake that it was all going be okay, seeing as all that he really had to do to be okay at this job, at least from where Lao-Shi was standing, was, basically, just train Mayzie in the same way that Lao-Shi, initially, trained Jake himself. And, what's even more so is the fact that Fu-Dog actually made an attempt to calm Jake's nerves, as well, by pointing out this was mainly just an experiment to see how well that Jake could teach Mayzie, which means that, if he fails, he'll still have, basically, done his job within this experiment. However, that last bit of info did not so much as truly comfort Jake, like Fu-Dog had hoped, as much as did actually insult him just a teeny-weeny bit. This was, ultimately, the main reason why the talking Shar-Pei dog immediately decided to try and change the subject just a teensy-weensy bit, and the subject that he ultimately ended up choosing to go for was the question of whether or not the other members of his 'personal little entourage' were okay with him deciding to take a break to train Mayzie as a dragon for the whole entire day. To which, Jake ended up replying that it was all okay as far as the others were concerned, seeing as Spud had already decided that the last of Summer before Labor Day was to be the day where everyone was free to do their own thing. It was about at this point that we are given a few cutaway scenes that showed us just what the others were all doing at this point, which was in tandem with both Fu-Dog and Jake having a brief discussion about what the others could have possibly had planned for the day.

"Huh, really…?" said Fu-Dog during this brief exchange in the form of a voice-over "Well then, I wonder what the other guys are all doing to keep their day from being a complete drag…"

"Meh, who knows…?" said Jake, whose voice was also heard via a voice-over during this point "But, knowing those three friends of mine, well, I'm pretty sure that it's probably just some of the usual stuff that they feel normally floats their boats and everything, ya know…?"

And it was during this briefly shown string of cutaway scenes that we are shown that Rose was currently doing a workout and fitness routine, complete with weights and pink and purple workout leotards, leggings and sweatbands; Trixie was currently at a local beauty salon, getting a full blown makeover, complete with manicures and pedicures, etc; while Spud was currently spending his time trying to paint a still-life of a bowl of fruit (go figure Spud, ya know?). But, once we cut right to Jake and Fu-Dog, we see that we are just in time to see Mayzie come back out of the back room, with the announcement that George is going to be just fine in regards to cleaning Windchill in his own pixie brand type of way. It was at that point that we are briefly brought right back to the shop's back room, where we see that George was using his own pixie magic to properly give Windchill a bath, albeit with the dog herself displaying a small look of minor chagrin during the entirety of it. But, nevertheless, though, Miss Mayzie Brooks was still quite eager to begin with her official dragon training under Jake as her master and, she even went as far as to ask her new mentor about where they were actually going start. To which Jake would respond by saying that they were both going to have to go up the Shop's empty rooftop first and that they were going to have begin with the dragon fundamentals before anything else, which Mayzie, albeit with a slightly uncertain tone, actually responded to by saying-

"O-oh, um, okay, um-uh, r-right behind you, um, master, hehe…"

Meanwhile, though, way back at the goblin mobsters' hideaway from before the episode's intro (such as it was, in terms of hideaways), we are soon shown that the goblins from way back then were all, currently, awaiting the return of a member of their group's lower echelon ranks. Or, rather, more specifically; they were all awaiting the return of the goblin who suggested to them some new candidates for their gang's new, much needed, membership drive. And while they were all just standing there, awaiting the return of this particular goblin, there were quite a few of the goblins who were actually starting to just straight up fantasize about what their new members were going to be like and a great few of them were really coming up with some pretty far out ideas in that regard, to say the least. However, once the lower echelon goblin actually manages to return to the rest of his gang, with his earlier mentioned new recruits all in tow with him, the other goblins were all soon shown just how incorrect their initial assumptions really were. For you see, rather than being the same type of goblins as the other members of the gang, these new recruits were actually two club-wielding hobgoblins, two winged mountain goblins and a troll of the exact same variety as the one that the Kelpie actually transformed into during the third act of "Something Fishy this way comes".

Now, this; this truly did strike the other goblin mobsters of the gang as something that was truly unacceptable to say the least. For you see, as at least one of the higher echelon goblins felt the need to openly point out; their group ran a sophisticated and quite professional organization within the realm of organized crime and that was a business that truly held no real place for the likes of smash-happy brutes like hobgoblins, trolls or mountain goblins. However, when the pleas of the lower echelon goblin that originally brought them all there all fell flat upon deaf ears, the goblin mob boss decided to make a decision that was truly shocking for just about everyone who was present to hear; the troll, the hobgoblins and the mountain goblins could all stay with his gang as new initiates. For you see, while the goblin mob boss was not able to disagree with the notion that these new recruits were not as 'refined' as their own goblin ranks, their collective muscle and unique capabilities would still most definitely still suffice in terms of what the goblin mob don had in mind at this particular moment in time. And so, he invited these five new initiates to all follow him into an even further deeper part of the hideaway in order to talk to them all about something of a more private type of nature.

Pretty soon, it was, eventually, revealed to everyone that he was actually leading them all to what looked like an incredibly massive and even more complicated looking type of obstacle course. One that the incredibly cunning goblin mob boss, essentially, had built in secret, once he was first alerted to the goblin mobster-wannabe group of friends of his lower echelon goblin minion. But, in any event, though, this plan that was, apparently, made by the goblin mob don was soon made incredibly clear to this new group of initiates to his gang; for you see, he was now challenging this whole entire group of new recruits to complete this whole entire obstacle course, from start to finish. And, if they were to, somehow, prove to be successful within this particular little challenge, then, there would only be one more challenge left for them to accomplish before they could all become welcomed right into the gang with open goblin type arms. Now, this was the part of the statement that truly and undeniable started to stoke the group's collective fires and so, before there could be any more words said by the goblin mob boss, right after he had already said 'ready, set, go!', the group then began to make their way up, down and around the amazing obstacle course, with no signs of stopping being shown by any single one of them.

And then, finally, after being made to watch a fairly long and yet still fairly eventful type of obstacle course-related montage of sorts, we are then, at last, shown that the five magical brutes were all able to actually reach the very end of the aforementioned obstacle course, much to the initial surprise and delight of the wicked goblin mob boss himself. In fact, it was at this particular moment in time that the latter not only decided to give these brutes some well-deserved praise and congratulations, but to also reveal to them the true purpose of the obstacle course itself. For you see, this course was designed, specifically, to prepare whom ever was actually able to complete it to do battle with a Dragon, since it was also designed, specifically, to teach one how to dodge and outmaneuver the most basic attacks and the most frequently used types of movements used by all members of the dragon species. And it was at this exact same particular moment in time where the most wicked and old goblin mob boss finally decided to reveal to this group just what their initial 'final exam' actually was; to take down just about every single dragon that was found there within New York City, and that means; not just Jake Long, of course, but also Lao-Shi, Sun Park and little Haley Long, as well. For, if they were to actually accomplish such a feat, then this group of 2 hobgoblins, 2 mountain goblins and a troll would become full-fledged members of this goblin run crime syndicate.

(Commercial Break)

Now then, as we are all, once again, suddenly, brought straight back to Canal Street Electronics at this time, we are then soon able to see that, as per with what Jake Long himself had just said in the previous act; he and Miss Mayzie Brooks were both currently up on top of the Shop's vacant rooftop area, in order to properly begin with the latter's official Dragon training. And this was, apparently, because of the fact that the young Jake himself had originally begun his very own Dragon training up on this very same rooftop, a fact that he felt the need to inform Miss Mayzie of right then and there, much to her initial excitement. However, in any event, though, they were both up there because Jake, apparently, felt that this was as good a place as any to begin training his very own Dragon student, and what's even more so was the fact that the old Lao-Shi himself was currently watching the two of them both interact at this point, in a some out-of-the-way place/position found somewhere on the empty rooftop itself. But, in any event, though, Mayzie soon began to rapidly ask Jake where they were both actually going to begin with her initial Dragon training; inventing their own fire blast moves, try fancy tail-related battle attacks or possibly even creating whirlwinds with their dragon wings. But, in the end, though, Jake, ultimately, decided that they were both going start with the ever simple and basic full dragon transformation, in order to get a better grip on what they were going to be dealing with, in terms of Mayzie's dragon powers.

Now, of course, the ever eager young Miss Mayzie Brooks was more than happy to oblige to this very simple sounding first request, if only because she wanted to see just how she herself looked as a full-bodied dragon. However, just right after she spent a few seconds or so trying to force the transformation to come about, she was surprised to see that there was no sign of any type of transformation whatsoever. This, of course, struck her as a tad bit odd, to say the absolute least, especially when she considered the fact that she has never had any type of trouble with transforming her feet or her hands into dragon form or in conjuring up her dragon tail or her dragon wings. In fact, Miss Mayzie even felt the need to actually point that fact out, very openly, as she continued to try again at least four more times in order to transform into a full dragon. All of the way up until our dear young friend, Mr. Jake Long himself, actually began to approach this new dragon pupil of his in order to impart upon her the following bit of wisdom and advice—

"Ahem, you're not transforming right about now, Lil' Mayzie, because you're not actually doing it in the right way that you're really supposed to; do you feel me right now, huh, Lil' girl…? (Clears his throat) you see, Lil' Maze, you're, basically, still trying to transform in the exact same way that you used to, when it was just your own two hands or feet or whatever, which is, um, basically just you throwing your dragon chi all around at any place on your body that you want to, all willy-nilly. But, with, uh, going full dragon all at the exact same time, it's, um-uh, it's-it's-it's little bit more different than that, if you know what I'm sayin', hehehehe. (Clears his throat yet again) look, when it comes to pulling off that little trick in particular, well, you, um-uh; y-y-y-you have to actually put a little bit more focus onto your dragon chi to be precise, all of that way up until you have it feeling like it's bubbling all of the way down on the inside of you, up until you can practically feel it actually wanting to get out of you all at that one single moment. Um, give that one idea a quick little try and then, um-uh, s-see how well that that one ends up working out for ya, okay…?"

And then, once all of that was finally said and heard between the two of them, the young Miss Mayzie Brooks actually took the opportunity to nod directly at Jake Long as a sign of compliance for his instructions, right before she then began to focus herself onto every single ounce of dragon chi that she could find within her very being, just as she had been instructed to do. However, while the old Lao-Shi himself was still currently watching all of this from his current out-of-the-way spot, up on the rooftop with them, he was soon finding himself talking to his own self, directly, about how this was not exactly how he explained the process of going full-dragon to Jake back in the day, back when he was still learning it from the old man for himself. But, nevertheless, though, Jake's very own method for explaining things to Mayzie soon proved to be just as efficient, you see, because, within mere seconds afterwards, Miss Mayzie soon found herself seeing some very desirable results from Jake's methods; she was, at last, able to transform herself all of the way, all at the exact same instance in time. Now, it all started with her being engulfed by a very thick, purple-colored, mist-like aura of some kind, and then, once it all started to slowly by surely dissipate completely all around her, she was, at last, then revealed to be in her full dragon form. She was an elongated, western-esque looking type of dragon with large bat-looking wings, black-colored claws and toes, dark red coloring on her outer scales, pinkish interior underneath both of her two bat wings, a golden-colored underbelly that went from underneath her jaw to the very tip of her tail, a golden-colored elbow talon on her both of her elbows and, at last, finally, a dark red, wolf-like head with a maroon-colored nose, golden coloring within both of the ears and the young Tibetan girl's initial blue-colored headband, along with her long and mysteriously beautiful black-colored hair, which, essentially, connected itself right to the bright blue-colored spines that were found just upon the reptilian's large, dark red-colored back and went down all of the way right to the blue-colored tail-frill at the very ending tip of the creature's tail. Now, this was precisely what Miss Mayzie was, essentially, hoping to achieve upon her realizing that she was a dragon by birth, this was what she truly looked like while she was within her fully-realized dragon form.

However, because Jake wanted to see just how well that Mayzie could truly maintain this new reptilian form of hers, he ordered her to remain continuously in that exact same form for the rest of their first day of dragon training. Now, the young Miss Mayzie Brooks was actually not at all against doing just that, in fact, she actually saw doing so as something of a 'piece of cake', which was actually when she briefly lost control of her transformational powers and embarrassingly allowed her left arm to revert back into its human state once again for a few seconds or so. She immediately transformed it back into its dragon form upon realizing this, of course, but, this little embarrassing-type moment of no self-control still warranted a look of pure chagrin from her face just the same, anyways, and it also warranted a look of mild annoyance on Jake's own face, one that just screamed 'we've got a long way to go' in least several different languages. In fact, the old dragon master, Lao-Shi himself, actually even found himself doing a little bit of soliloquy about how all of this harkened back to what he and Sun Park both actually said back in episode six; how the very notion of Jake actually training someone else was going to be a very interesting sight to see, to the say the least. However, he could still not help but think to himself about how this was still not how he initially first did things, back when he himself was first beginning to first train Jake in the ways of the dragon.

But, in any event, though, we are then soon made to cut straight back to good old George the pixie himself, who was currently trying his absolute best to actually get things all cleaned up on the inside of the room that he had previously just used to give little Windchill her bath. And, speaking of the good old Tibetan spaniel, Miss Windchill herself, she was also found right there within this exact same room with George and was currently even making a few motions and noises towards the pixie that implied that she wanted to offer George a few helping hands (err paws) in the cleaning process. However, George just kept on turning down all of her initial pleas to help him out; since he was continuously trying to make it clear to her that he had everything under his complete control. But, the mere fact that he just kept on blurting out that exact same statement out loud only provoked yet another canine found within the room; Fu-Dog, to actually start teasing him and giving him a hard time about just how much he actually had under his complete control at this time. This, of course, resulted in a bit of a heated talk between the two of them, and the meat of it all was that George intended to be the best type of pixie assistant at the shop that he could truly be and that meant that he was not going to allow any more mistakes to be made by him from this point forward, none whatsoever, or his name wasn't George D. Flutteringson. However, once old Fu-Dog actually started to say that he would just love to see the ever-eager-to-have-his-job pixie actually start making more mistakes again, if only because he enjoyed watching little George actually going to pieces about it all afterwards as a result, the immediate result of it all was that our dear little pixie friend, George D. Flutteringson, was actually ready to start making bets with the old magical talking Shar-Pei dog, if only because he wanted make him to start eating his own words.

And the bet was as followed; George was to go through the rest of the entire day without ever making so much as even a simple type of mistake, which would also include making any small sort of typo, misspellings or missteps of any kind at all, lest he be forced to demand to both Lao-Shi and Jake that he be placed on full bathroom detail for as long as it took to make absolutely certain that the Electronics shop's plumbing was spick-spanky clean, which was no easy task for one to accomplish, let me tell you of that one, right here and right now. However, should George the pixie actually succeed in fulfilling his end of this bet, then, per this wager's initial stakes and agreements; old Fu-Dog would be forced to do the most demeaning thing that he could think of for exactly two days time; no more, no less. Now then, since these terms actually did seem rather fair to Fu-Dog, or at least for the most part, anyways, he decided to agree to this little wager of George's, which was much to the initially annoyed chagrin of the little Miss Windchill herself. However, it was roughly about at this particular moment in time that we are then made to suddenly cut straight right to yet another, far off part of the town of New York City itself, which is where we are then made to find a rather nasty looking group of magical creatures who were all apparently on the hunt for something, as it was made apparent by their initial behavior and their basic bodily movements, mind you. It was, of course, the exact same five magical brutes that we were all shown before, during the previous act, you see, and they were all still on the hunt for whatever types of dragons that they were able to find, as was per what the nasty goblin mobsters who initially sent them all had already told them to do beforehand.

However, before we are actually able to receive any more information regarding this one particular scene, we are then soon brought straight back to the rooftop scene of the good old Canal Street Electronics building, which is where we are then soon shown that our dear young friend, Mr. Jake Long himself, was actually still trying to give his new dragon pupil, Miss Mayzie Brooks, some more dragon-themed lessons during her initial training period. And, this time around, he was actually trying to teach her how to fly with her two massive dragon wings, which was not as easy a task for Miss Mayzie to accomplish as she had initially believed it to be. For you see, while the young Miss Mayzie Brooks was indeed quite capable of using her two dragon wings for enhancing her initial jumping skills, as well as for gliding down via small air currents of wind, she was now being forced to, essentially, learn how to gain some core strength with her dragon wings and how to keep herself up in the air for as long as she could do so all by herself. Now, this might have proven to be quite the difficult task for her to do when it was just all by her own lonesome self at first, but, with Jake Long actively trying to do his absolute best to try to keep her going without actually stopping her from learning how to do it all on her own, she was soon able to learn how to fly all by herself, albeit in a somewhat considerably wobbly fashion while she was actively at it. However, it was roughly about at this point in time that we are then soon able to hear old Jake Long himself actually telling the young Miss Mayzie Brooks that she would still have to try to take things just a little bit more slowly in terms of how she flies. For you see, if she was to try too hard to fly then she could still run the risk losing control of her initial momentum and thus spiral all out of control all around right there in midair. But, of course, if she doesn't put enough effort into her initial wing flaps, then she could also run the risk of losing her altitude at any given time at an incredibly alarming rate. This was, in truth, a very delicate type of matter in terms of the basic winged dragon form and thus it had to be taken very seriously and slowly in a very careful type of manner, not that that was, precisely, how Jake Long himself tended to put it into words when he was explaining it to the young Miss Mayzie herself, mind you. But, nevertheless, though, he was still able to get this message across rather perfectly to the young Miss Mayzie Brooks, as she was still able understand it rather well, all things considered, at least for the most part, at any rate.

Now then, the old man, Lao-Shi himself, was still right there, watching on and on and on as his young dragon grandson was still proceeding on to try to train this new young dragon pupil of his, and for the first time since they had initially begun, he was starting to feel like this was more of a traditional type of real dragon training. However, that feeling of his would then soon come to an abrupt end rather quickly once he saw what Jake was actually beginning to teach the young Miss Mayzie as her next dragon-themed lesson, and it was actually more closely related to combat training, to boot, to be perfectly honest. For you see, the young Mr. Jake Long would then go on to actively tell little Miss Mayzie Brooks to actually attack him whilst she was still fluttering up right there in midair and that was because he wanted actually see just how well that she could multi-task in combat situations, something that he believed was actually very crucial for any real dragon to learn in the absolute long run. And, just to make positively certain that there would be no real reason for little Miss Mayzie Brooks to actually pull back any of her punches during this particular little training session, Jake himself even saw fit to transform himself right into his big, red, green and yellow dragon form and then, he gave the signal for little Miss Mayzie Brooks to actually come right at him with all that she had to spare, which she ended up doing with just barely even any sort of hesitation to stop her from doing so. However, it was only after just a few meager little moments or so of the two young dragons actively sparring with one another at this point that the young Mr. Jake Long himself actually saw something that was a bit of a problem in his eyes, regarding how little Miss Mayzie Brooks was fighting during this entire combat training session; she was using nothing more than completely standard dragon order type fighting styles and combat techniques and that was pretty much it.

Now, this might not have seemed like such a big deal to Jake at first, but, the more that he realized that the young Miss Mayzie Brooks just kept on using nothing but standard attacks and fighting techniques, no matter how many times that he proved that he could quite easily dodge and/or counter them, the more that he realized that he just had to point out this particular problem to his young Dragon pupil and point it out he did. For you see, according to Jake, by utilizing nothing but the most standard of attacks and fighting techniques, Mayzie has made herself far too predictable in a fight, since all an opponent would have to do to defeat her is simply pay close attention to her specific attack pattern and then learn how to properly counter and/or dodge them until a weak spot was, at last, revealed to them. He didn't use those exact words, precisely, of course, but, his point still got across, as did his initial advice to the young Miss Mayzie Brooks to actually start using far more unorthodox attacks and fighting techniques, in order to keep her opponents constantly guessing and on their toes at all times. What's even more so, he even suggested that her next lesson be about finding balance…her enemy's balance, to be exact, so that she could knock them down in a variety of ways. Now, of course, old Lao-Shi himself was still watching on at all of this and, what's even more so; he was even beginning to start showing signs of doubt about this particular type of training style that he was currently witnessing, although, he was still not being very vocal about any of them at this time, at least not just yet.

And thus, because of that, Jake was, apparently, still free to continue on with this particularly unorthodox style of training of his, and he even suggested that it was time for him and little Miss Mayzie to actually go on patrol together in order to give the latter a better chance to get a better feel about just what that part about being a dragon was really all about. Now, old Lao-Shi ended up insisting that he tagged along on this particular little patrol of theirs and, honestly, Jake did not really see that much of a real problem with allowing that sort of thing to happen. However, his concerns soon did indeed start flare up, once old Lao-Shi actually secretly whispered to him that they were both going to have to have a little discussion about Miss Mayzie Brooks on their way during their initial patrol. But, in any event, though, the three of them then soon began to take off up into the sky and while they were all doing so, Jake proceeded to give little Miss Mayzie a helping hand in staying aloft, all while he was giving her his own unique brand of instructions on how to fly long distances, much to Lao-Shi's initial concerns. However, what not one single member of this dragon trio knew at this time was the fact that they were all being watched from afar by someone with binoculars and that someone was actually none other than one of the five magical brutes from before, who then soon began to alert the others and tell them that it was, at last, 'show time', much to their initial collective wicked excitement.

However, before that one particular scene could actually go on for any amount of time further, we are then soon made to cut straight back to Canal Street Electronics' initial interior, which is where we are then soon made to see that the old pixie, George himself, was actually attempting to do yet another task on the shop's initial behalf. And, this time around, he was attempting to carry over a large amount of empty boxes, in order to place them all within the shop's vacant storeroom, which was not as easy a task as you might assume it to be, even with the use of nothing more than the standard pixie levitation magic as a means of doing it all by yourself. However, regardless of all of that, though, the old George the pixie was still able to slowly, but surely, get all of these boxes over to the storeroom door's general vicinity soon enough, and without even losing a single box from the pile, no less, as I should probably be adding as well. However, another new difficult obstacle soon began to reveal itself to George at this point and it wasn't in the form of little old Windchill, who was currently within the exact same area either. No, it was in the shape of 'good old' Fu-Dog himself, who was currently attempting to throw George off of his 'A game' in the form of a little bit of heckling. But, while old professional pixie might've had a little bit of trouble before getting the boxes straight into the storeroom, he still managed to get them all there, without ever losing a single box to gravity. And while the two magical assistants would continue on to show sure fire signs of not wanting to back down from their initial wager, all the sweet little dog, Windchill, could do at this point was simply show sure fire signs of being annoyed by their initial antics.

Meanwhile, though, way back up in the sky, with our three main colorful dragons; Mr. Jake Long, Lao-Shi and little Miss Mayzie Brooks, we are then soon shown that the young Miss Mayzie was actually just starting to get the hang of being up in the air all by her own lonesome self. And while Jake did take few moments or so to actually congratulate her on her efforts and improvements, his attentions were soon redirected right towards his very own Dragon Master, old Lao-Shi himself. For you see, the old, blue-colored, Chinese dragon was still awaiting his opportunity to actually say something to the young Mr. Jake Long and it was something that actually had a lot to do with their little friend, Miss Mayzie Brooks, or, rather, something in regards to the way that Jake was currently training her, in any event. But, before the old grandfather dragon could actually delve into this conversation with his young grandson any deeper, the three dragons were all suddenly ambushed by something that actually jumped right on top of them from a much higher skyscraper building and that caused them all to fall down right on top of the rooftop of a slightly shorter skyscraper building that was nearby. It was, in truth, the very same large and gruesome-looking troll from the previously seen group of magical brutes that was responsible for this sudden attack and once the three dragons were all able to forcibly remove him from being right on top of them all, his four other brutish companions were all soon very quick to make themselves known to this group of magical fire-breathing reptiles. And then, once they were all, at last, finally there, it became very, very, very clear to our group of fire-breathing reptile friends that there was stuff that was about to go down in a very, very, very violent type of way, not a single, solitary question asked about that one at all, I can personally assure you of that one simple fact.

(Commercial Break)

We are then soon brought straight back to the goblin mobsters' secret hideaway as the show returns and, once we are, at last, finally back there, we are then soon able to see that they were all, currently, having a nice little meal, ala the various parodies of 'The Godfather' plotline. And, what's even more so, as they were all, currently, dining on their own respective personal meals, a small little conversation of sorts began to break out about their new brutish wannabe recruits, which soon, ultimately, led to a question about just how their little 'dragon hunt' was currently coming along at this very same moment. Now then, the initial lower echelon goblin member who had originally brought the five of them to the rest of the mob was, of course, quite confident in their initial capabilities; that was, of course, to be expected. But, what really struck the rest of the mob as a tad bit of a surprise was the fact that the goblin mob boss himself was actually in an agreement with his lower echelon goblin underling about that one specific point. For, you see, he too was quite confident in the way that these five new recruits were all able to carry themselves about like they did, and, given the way that they all managed to handle themselves during the obstacle course from before, he had a very good feeling about how their chances against the dragons were currently looking. However, in the end, though, he wound up stating to the rest of the goblin mob that, if nothing else, the goblin mobsters' questions about how well this little quintet was would be on the battlefield would soon be answered by the way that they all returned to their lair, which, he had no doubt in his mind would be happening very, very soon; very, very soon enough indeed.

It was right about at this point in the story that we are then, suddenly, brought straight back to where the young master, Jake Long, and his company were all currently located, where they were all still being approached by the group consisting of the large and ugly troll, the hobgoblin twosome and the winged mountain goblin duo as well to completely top it all off. And, what's even more so, just when the old Lao-Shi himself was actually just beginning to instruct the young Miss Mayzie Brooks to remain behind where it was safe, while he and Jake both took care of this little ambush in the making, the young Tibetan dragon still felt the need to charge directly at the large and ugly troll of the group, with Jake making absolutely no effort at all to stop her from doing so. Now, this, of course, caused the old man, Mr. Lao-Shi to become just a tad bit concerned, but, he and the young Mr. Jake Long would then soon have their own hands full, once the two pairs of hobgoblins and mountain goblins all began to attack them both, simultaneously, respectively, all at that exact same moment in time. And while those two male dragons were both forced to deal with that particular part of this apparent ambush, we are then soon made to cut straight back to the young Miss Mayzie Brooks, who was currently having her own brand of trouble whilst dealing with her own chosen grotesquely-looking troll opponent. For you see, while she was still, essentially, giving it her all in her attempts to physically pummel the troll found right there, in front of her, she was not actually doing all that much damage to him at all, and it showed in the most embarrassing sort of way possible; of that, you can be sure.

In fact, the only real reaction that Miss Mayzie Brooks was actually able to get out of this troll opponent of hers was him simply smacking her away like she was some sort of common housefly or something. But, she was still far off a ways from being willing to give up, so the next thing that she did was fly directly right back at the large and grotesque looking troll so that she could fight him in the exact same manner that she once saw old Lao-Shi himself actually fight off an opponent of his own. However, speaking of the old man, Lao-Shi himself; well, um, he and Jake were both, currently, getting parried, dodged and countered at every single move, turn and blow that they made by none other than their very own personal opponents; the hobgoblins and the mountain goblins. And this was considerably strange for the two of them because, well, normally, hobgoblins and mountain goblins were quite easily dealt with opponents for dragons such as themselves, especially in simple hand-to-hand combat fighting like they have been using so far. But, nevertheless, though, because of the simple fact that their opponents were actually managing to push them both back on the battlefield, considerably, and because of the additional fact that little Miss Mayzie Brooks herself was now, currently, getting the exact same type of treatment from her very own personal troll opponent, Lao-Shi then began to persuade Jake that it was time for them all to make a tactical withdrawal from their five ferocious magical brute adversaries. Or, in other words; it was time for them all to make a very swift retreat, and for them all to do it fast, no less, as I should probably be adding as well.

Now then, this was, of course, not really something that our dear young friend, Mr. Jake Long, was really all too keen about doing at first. But, deep down; he truly did understand that his grandfather was correct about using such a course of action. And so, after calling back little Miss Mayzie Brooks before she could actually suffer any sort of real, actual damage or injury from her troll opponent, the three dragons all soon began to fly away from their ferocious five adversaries, and about as fast as they could all possibly and physically manage it all, no less, as I should probably be adding as well. However, their five ferocious assailants were not quite ready to allow any of them to escape just yet, and thus, they all soon began to pursue their prey in the best possible ways that could all physically manage at this time, which actually prompted the three dragons to actually try and find some cover even further down towards the city down below proper. This allowed them all the chance to briefly lose their five pursuers, but, these five brutish magical creatures were not quite ready to give up on their chase just yet.

Meanwhile, though, way back on the inside of the shop known as Canal Street Electronics, we are then soon shown that the little guy, George the pixie himself, was, once again, attempting to try and use his pixie magic, in order to do some good work around the shop itself proper, with the little dog, Windchill herself, now, once again, personally watching him do so from afar, way down on the floor, with her little fluffy-looking doggy tail now wagging at a rather steady-looking type of pace, no less as well. Now then, this time around, our dear little friend, Mr. George the pixie, was currently attempting to try and stack up some VCR tapes, whilst he was within the stock room with Windchill. And just like it was the case, initially, from before, little Windchill was, once again, attempting to try and give off some subtle hints that she wanted to help him out in any way, shape or form. But, just like it was the case during the last known time that she did this sort of thing, I'm afraid that George the pixie merely, subtly, and yet politely, declined her offers to help him out, due to him being quite certain that he had everything under his complete control. However, whilst all of that was still going on between this particular twosome of newcomers to the shop, we are then soon shown that there was something particularly sneaky currently afoot, and it was coming from our dear old canine friend, the ever sneaky Fu Dog, of course. For you see, he was now, currently, planning on adding a little something special to George's little task, deep within the store room, and it involved him carrying a special little vial that was filled to the brim with a mysterious blue-colored substance. It was, of course, a very powerful magic potion that was from his very secretive magical supply, and it was a very well-known brand that was notorious for its ability to cause trouble for pixies and their magic, which is why Fu-Dog took this small window of opportunity to pour it all over the VCR tapes that had yet to be stacked by George and his pixie magic. For you see, Fu-Dog was now intent on playing quite dirty with this little wager of his with old George the pixie, and for a few seconds or so afterwards, the magic potion that he used did almost cause George to actually drop a few of the tapes. But, thankfully for him, though, he was still able to catch pretty much all of them, before even one of them could actually reach the wooden floor down below.

However, that still did not stop old Fu-Dog from thoroughly chastising him, once he pretended to enter the room right around that exact same moment time. In fact, old Fu-Dog was even willing to go as far as to say that, at this rate, 'little Georgey', as he mockingly called him, would be on plumber detail for quite some time now in no time at, right before he exited the room with a gloatingly loud chuckle to go right along with him. Now then, of course, this left old George the pixie feeling quite the large amount of anger and frustration, but, before he could actually dwell on any of that for another minute longer, he was soon able to take notice of the fact that there was something very wrong within that very same stockroom. For you see, while he was attempting to get back to stacking up the other videotapes, and this time, it was being done by hand, mind you, he was then soon able to take notice of the fact that there was some form of strange blue powder covering the ones that he had yet to stack up already. He was then soon able to recognize it as an infamous anti-pixie magic potion, and then, upon thinking over the matter even further, he was then also able to realize that Fu-Dog, most likely, had an underhanded paw in his most recent of near mistakes today. Now then, this, of course, made old George feel just a tad bit more furious than he did way before, but then, all of a sudden, a new idea soon began to form in his tiny little pixie noggin. And this time around, he really did feel that he would be requiring good ole' Windchill's helping hands…err…paws to make it all actually happen.

Meanwhile, though, way back within the very interior of the city itself proper, we are then soon shown just what was currently going on with the young Mr. Jake Long himself, along with his old maternal Grandfather, Luong Lao-Shi, and his new little dragon pupil, Miss Mayzie Brooks. For you see, they had all only just recently managed to avoid and evade their new, ferociously skilled, five attackers; the two hobgoblins, the two mountain goblins and their large and very nasty-looking singular troll friend, who, by the way, have all already proven themselves to be far more of a match for the trio of colorful dragon protectors, even far more so than the latter trio had initially all given them credit for. In fact, even after they had all managed to, apparently, lose them all, all five of them, in fact; they were all now, apparently, trying to, currently, catch their respective second winds of breath from within the confines of an alley found just in-between two very large skyscraper buildings. And, suffice it to say, this was a most definite real problem for our trio of colorful dragon protectors, especially as far as our old friend, Lao-Shi, was concerned, and he was the most skillfully experienced of the lot in terms of these kinds of magical matters. But, even he could never have imagined that this sort of thing would actually be a thing.

I mean, never in his whole entire, lengthy, career as a dragon warrior did Lao-Shi ever believe that it was actually possible for a pair of common-variety bred mountain goblins and a singular common-variety breed of a common Troll to actually become this much to deal with, and he was already well aware of the initial danger that both species tended to pose all on their very own as it was. Why, he never even expected this level of difficulty from a pair of Hobgoblins and they were already well known as being among the most dangerous 13 threats to the magical world. And the real main reason for Lao-Shi's initial difficulty in believing in this new threat level rise is actually because of one very simple factoid about all three of these magical species in general; they were not among the most intelligent of creatures to deal with in a real fight. For you see, it has always been because of the initial lack of real consistency in the intelligence of these three magical creature breeds that they were always, under normal circumstances, somewhat easier for an experienced dragon to deal with. But, not this time around, however, oh-ho-no-no-no-no, this time around; they actually all knew how to properly counter practically every single standard dragon attack and move, exactly, and how to land a few pretty effective blows against the very dragon itself, as I am quite displeased to be also adding to all of that as well. Now then, this was, of course, all so very inconceivable for the old Lao-Shi to actually believe in at first, but, eventually, though; believe in it all, he soon had to, and, what was even more so was the mere fact that he was also not quite so certain about how the dragon trio was actually going to properly deal this new predicament of theirs, because he had no real ideas of his very own whatsoever, I can assure you of that much.

However, it was right about at this point that our dear young friend, Mr. Jake Long, was actually able to come up with something of a plan of his very own, and it was actually a plan that involved a little special something that he had originally told to the young Miss Mayzie Brooks during her initial 'first day of dragon training' exercises. Although, because of the simple fact that this particular topic was, once again, brought up amongst the three of them, the old Lao-Shi was then very quick to, once again, attempt to discuss something very important with his grandson, something that regarded the latter's initial training methods in regards to the young dragon-in-training, Miss Mayzie Brooks. But, before the old Chinese Dragon could actually get in any deeper with this particular topic, he was then, soon, once again, interrupted by yet another attack and it was, of course, because of the five magical brutes that attacked them all from way before. For you see, they had all, once again, managed to track down this small group of colorful dragons and they were all just itching for the chance to begin finishing up exactly where they had all left off before. But, before they could actually even begin to make proper physical contact with the three dragon warriors, Jake was then very quick to take the opportunity to remind the young Miss Mayzie Brooks of when he first told her to "start using far more unorthodox attacks and fighting techniques, in order to keep her opponents constantly guessing and on their toes at all times", an idea that our dear young Miss Mayzie Brooks was still quite able to remember being taught quite easily, no doubt about that one, folks.

For you see, once she was, yet again, confronted by the exact same very large troll member of the enemy group of five, just as it was the case from before, our dear young Miss Mayzie Brooks might have, at first, tried to use a few minor standard attacks against him, to start out with, at least. But, it was, in truth, just when the very large troll was actually just starting to swing back at her, precisely, that our dear young lady Tibetan Dragon's new fighting style and strategy was, at last, then brought to light. For you see, once the troll had actually swung his enormously large right arm directly at her, the young Miss Mayzie Brooks was actually then very quick to take the opportunity to actually grab onto this enormously large appendage of his. And then, she was actually able to use it as the perfect aiming position to deliver a very swift, and yet, still very sound and strong, kick to troll's very large and, quite frankly, very ugly-looking kind of troll face. Now then, this was, of course, more enough to leave both the two mountain goblins and the two hobgoblins feeling just a teensy-weensy bit caught off-guard as an immediate result of it all, and the old blue dragon, Lao-Shi himself, was also left to feel pretty much the exact same way as them at this point, as well. However, just when the big old enemy troll was, essentially, just staggering all around and about, no doubt because of that recently received swift kick to the face, the very next thing that we see our dear young Miss Mayzie Brooks actually doing was actually using her dragon tail to, essentially, but subtly and surely, sabotage her big old troll opponent's initial sense of balance, which, of course, then soon led to him falling right over, landing flat onto his very large and very wide-looking troll type of back.

Now then, it was, at this point, that the official 'second round' for these two aggressive groups of magical creatures was officially started, and the very next thing that was to happen right afterwards was that the two hobgoblins were both then very quick to start attacking Mr. Jake Long, while the two mountain goblins were both then very quick to start attacking old Lao-Shi. However, this time around, as our dear young and friendly American Dragon, Mr. Jake Long, was initially fighting back, the battle was actually quite very quick to start turning in his initial favor. For you see, this time around, he was actually fighting in a somewhat…unconventional type of manner, which was actually allowing him to get in some pretty decent and effective shots and blows whilst up against the two hobgoblins that he was currently facing right about now. And the exact same thing could also be said for the young Miss Mayzie Brooks, as the very next thing that she was then shown doing was rushing over to help out old Lao-Shi, who was currently having some trouble with his two winged Mountain Goblin opponents, due to him still relying on some very basic and standard attacks and techniques. However, once little Miss Mayzie was able to implement some very unconventional battle tactics and techniques, she was able to gain the upper-hand against her opponents, all of the way up until both she and Lao-Shi were actually able to deliver a very severe attack against the two mountain goblins, which actually sent the two of them both quickly flying back as an immediate result of it all. But, in any event, though, once that had finally been taken care of, the two colorful and victorious dragons then finally took the opportunity to actually check up on their comrade, Mr. Jacob Luke Long himself, who was actually still currently having his very own way with the two hobgoblins that he was last seen facing off against way from before. All of the way up until he was, at last, finally able to put an end to this whole fight sequence between the three of them by, quite literally, tossing them both aside and then, sending them both directly right towards where both Lao-Shi and Mayzie were both currently located at the time, right before the two of them were both actually able to dodge it just in the nick of time. Now then, this, of course, simply allowed the two defeated hobgoblins the chance to freely crash right into their two mountain goblin cohorts and, thus, this resulted in an incredibly hilarious-appearing four magical creature body pile up, which was, of course, much to the initial chagrin and embarrassment of the four magical creatures in question who were all initially involved within it.

But, in any event, though, once all of that was, more or less, finally taken care of, the next thing on the agenda for these three colorful dragons was to deal with the massive enemy troll of the enemy group of five, who was only just recently beginning to regain his full consciousness, after Miss Mayzie Brooks had only just recently left him there, lying flat on his back earlier. However, even right after this troll was, essentially; finally back on his feet, the three dragons were all now far from feeling all that threatened by him this time around, and that was mostly because of the fact that, this time around; it was basically three against one for this round, as the troll was soon able to understand, after assessing the situation that he was currently now in. Or at least, that would have been the case, had Jake not insisted that the old dragon, Lao-Shi, remained out of this portion of the fight, stating the following statement right afterwards—

"Hey-hey-hey there, G, it's all good right now, okay, just relax, old man. I mean, after all, this big goon is going up against both the American Dragon and his new Dragon student right about now, is he not…?"

-Now then, this was, of course, more than enough to make the old dragon, Lao-Shi, feel the need to simply smile as an apparent response to all that was just said to him, as well as make him feel quite confident in the fact that his young dragon grandson and his new dragon pupil were both more than capable enough to deal with this particular problem all on their own. And deal with it they both did, folks, deal with it they both did, because, thanks to a few unorthodox techniques and movements from Jake Long's own side of things, as well as little Miss Mayzie Brooks' initial ability to follow them as closely and as best as she possibly could, their troll opponent was soon unable to figure out just what was going to be coming his way, all of the way up until it was, at long last, finally too late for him to react to it in any way, shape or form.

However, before we could actually get into any more further or deeper details regarding that exact same situation, we are then soon made to cut straight back to the good ol' shop of Canal Street Electronics yet again, and that was just about when we were actually allowed to see just what was going with our dear little old pixie friend, Mr. George the pixie, who was currently just using his pixie magic to operate a vacuum cleaner so that he could properly vacuum the shop's back room in a proper and effective manner, all while the little dog, Windchill, was currently and quite adamantly watching on during this whole endeavor, just like she was shown to be doing a little while, way before. But, what neither one of the two of them appeared to be completely aware of at this point was the fact that the still-as-sneaky-as ever Fu-Dog was once again attempting to try and sabotage the pixie's best efforts, and he was also, once again, attempting to use his earlier blue anti-pixie magic potion, in the hopes that, this time around, it would prove to be far more effective in his plans to get Mr. George the pixie to actually fail. However, just as soon as the old Shar-Pei dog had actually just finished up blowing out his anti-pixie magic potion directly right towards where old George was currently located at this time, something then began to go horribly wrong with his initial plan of attack. For you see, it was actually during this particularly critical moment in time that our dear little friend, Miss Windchill herself, was actually shown to be in the possession of a rather small bag of magical powder of her very own, a bag that she was soon able to open up and thus release into the air, which actually allowed it to, for lack of a better word, collide with the anti-pixie magic potion and react to it in a very magical sort of way, to say the absolute least. Why, in fact, the end result of this 'powdery collision' was actually the two powders becoming one singular puff of smoke and then that very same puff of smoke actually returning directly right towards where old Fu-Dog was currently sitting, which actually resulted in the little wrinkly Shar-Pei dog becoming incredibly itchy for some apparent reason, and that was very much to both his initial embarrassment as well as to his initial confusion.

But, all was then soon made to be perfectly clear to old Fu-Dog, just as soon as the little guy, George the pixie, finally just came right up and said that this was his revenge for Fu-Dog's earlier attempts at cheating him during this little wager of theirs. For you see, the magic powder that our little old friend, George the pixie, had and just recently asked little Miss Windchill to actively spread out throughout the air of the shop's backroom was, in fact, an anti-pixie potion remedy that was designed specifically by the ancient pixie clans of old in order to, specifically, counter-react the effects of the anti-pixie potion class of magical spells and to redirect them all completely back on whomever was responsible for using them all in the first place. Now, the after effects of all of that does tend to usually vary from person to person, but, in Fu-Dog's case; it was undoubtedly a rather severe case, but still very harmless in its own unique way, of constant itching and scratching. However, there was actually a very easy way for it all to be undone, but it had to be done by pixie's hand alone, as old George D. Flutteringson was very quick to point out to the clearly desperate talking Shar-Pei dog. It was right about at this point that old George decided tell old Fu-Dog what his terms were; he was to call off this bet of theirs right now as a complete forfeit and then and only then would George use his pixie powers to put an end to the old dog's constant scratching problems. Now, since there was denying that the old Fu-Dog was clearly caught in-between a rock and a hard place right about now, he decided to completely concede to little George the pixie's demands and thus called off the bet as the one true loser of it all.

And, since the terms of the bet were that, if George was proclaimed the winner, then he would be allowed to make Fu-Dog do the most embarrassing and demeaning thing that he could thing of, the very next thing that the professional little pixie ended up doing just after fixing Fu-Dog's itching problem was tell him just what that extremely embarrassing and demeaning thing really was after he had finally made up his mind about just what he really wanted to make old Fu-Dog actually do, and that the was following demand; he was to live amongst the Long family at their own personal residence and behave much like an honest and true-blue pet dog to the them all, including to both Jake and Mayzie, oh, and he was to also do so without using any of the usual privileges that he tended to have whilst living with the old dragon Master, Lao-Shi, and he was to strictly live by just about all of the rules that were standard for any other pet dog of this particular 'rank', without any questions or any compromises. Now, at first, the old pixie assistant just naturally assumed that the old Shar-Pei dog would truly find this type of living to be quite demeaning, when particularly compared to the way that he usually tends to live his life. But, as it would happen to turn out, old Fu-Dog was actually quite anxious to get started on this new 'sentence' of his. For you see, if the truth be told, he was always somewhat envious of the life that the more regular breeds of dogs tend to lead, and the very idea of him being able to spend his time like that for the period of two days time, precisely, well; that just seemed like an all expenses paid trip as far as old Fu-Dog was concerned, I can assure you of that much. And, while this was not precisely the type of reaction that both Windchill and George were initially expecting from Fu-Dog, the most reaction that either one of them did in response to all of it was simply shrug it all off like the strange type of turning of events that it really was, all things considered, and then, just get back to their own general agendas for the rest of their initial day.

Meanwhile, though, way back within the general vicinity of the Magus Bazaar, somewhere elsewhere, we are then soon shown just what the old dragon, Luong Lao-Shi, was currently up to at this point, and that was, basically, just him, essentially, just floating up high up above the magical marketplace in a sort of pacing type of floating motion, to be perfectly honest. For you see, he was currently just awaiting for the inevitable return of both his grandson, Mr. Jake Long himself, and his new little dragon apprentice, Miss Mayzie Brooks, as well, at this particular moment, and, when they did finally return to him, at last, they both immediately reported to him that they had both finally dealt with their most recent of attackers; the hobgoblins, the mountain goblins and their very large singular troll friend, and were ready to go about their day once again, even though it had already proven itself to be a very long enough one for them all already. But, regardless of that one specific factoid, though, the colorful trio of fire-breathing, flying reptiles was then soon back off on their own unique way once again and that was right about the exact same timeframe that the young Mr. Jake Long finally decided to ask a simple question of his currently calming down old grandfather/blue and green Dragon Master; "what, exactly, was he trying to speak to him about earlier in regards to his 'strange' teaching methods for little Miss Mayzie Brooks' initial dragon training, hmm?" Now, it was right about at this point in time that the old Lao-Shi finally began to see the true merit of Jake's initially unique training style and methods, especially since it was, ultimately, their unique style in nature in general that actually allowed them all the chance to properly defeat their previous foes in the ways that they did anyways. And so, in an effort to try and conceal his earlier feelings of doubt about Jake's abilities to teach at this particular moment in time, the old dragon, Lao-Shi, instead chose to speak out about how he was currently feeling about Jake's abilities to teach as of this exact same moment, and that was that while Jake's initial teaching methods might not seem quite as the same as old Lao-Shi's original teachings all were, they were still very much quite effective, at least as far as both Jake and Mayzie's relationship was initially concerned, and that was most likely to be exactly what little Miss Mayzie Brooks needed in order to become a great dragon. Now, needless to say, that was just about enough to make both Jake and Mayzie smile just a little bit, but, what they didn't truly know was just how much the old Lao-Shi truly did believe every single word that he just said, he truly did believe that, one way or another, his grandson was going to, most definitely, make his new dragon apprentice into a very mighty and very powerful dragon warrior.

Meanwhile, though, way back within the mysterious-looking and quite secretive appearing hideaway of the numerous goblin mobsters from way before, we are then soon shown just what had become of the two mountain goblins, the two hobgoblins and their singular, and largely muscled, troll thug of a friend. For you see, they had all, apparently, been returned to the very same place from whence they had all originally come from, and were all even, apparently, also 'gift-wrapped' to a certain degree, if you know what I mean, specifically for the sake of 'looking really nice' for the rest of their goblin mobster 'friends' and 'colleagues'. Now, while the rest goblins within the gang might not have been all that too happy about this result in their original plans and schemes, especially not in regards to the fact that their wannabe recruits actually spilled the beans about everything and everyone who was actually involved within it all, the goblin mob boss, as it happen to be the case, ultimately decided, that despite this monumental failure on the part of their five new recruitment candidates, their gang was still in need of some much wanted extra muscle and plenty of it. And since, clearly, these five 'goons' were all actually able to cause enough trouble for the dragons to actually warrant them giving this type of retribution as a punishment, they just might be the type of goons that their gang was in need of very much at this time, especially if they were all ever actually hoping to regain some of their original glory as a very powerful goblin crime syndicate within New York City itself. Now, despite this being something of a very large pill for the majority of this goblins gang to actually swallow, it was, ultimately, decided that they were going to follow the will of their boss in full, regardless of how odd that it might have seemed to all of them. And thus, it was then soon made completely official by the aforementioned Goblin mob boss at this point that; as of this exact same moment forward and for about as long as he saw fit to allow it to be the case; these two mountain goblins, their two hobgoblin friends and their very large troll thug of cohort, they were all now made official members of this goblin crime family in full, a fact that, undoubtedly, made the five magical brutes themselves all feel a great deal of pride and excitement, to say the absolute least, I can assure you that one, make no mistake about it.
