Hey all. Here's an update for ya.

Chapter 2

Confrontation

Jake was flying over a town, studying a map that Grandpa had given him.

"Well, it looks like this might be it," he said as he spied a sign that read "Fenton Works".

Jake landed in an alleyway by the house and turned human. From there he went around the front and knocked on the door. A large man wering an orange jumpsuit opened the door.

"Hello." the man said kindly.

"Is Danny here?" Jake asked him.

"I think so. Are you here for a school project?" he asked.

"You could say that."

"Danny! One of your friends is here to see you!" Jack shouted to Danny.

Jack stepped aside and Jake saw a raven haired boy running down the stairs. Jack went back to working on a device in the living room.

"Who are you?" Danny asked.

"My name is Jake Long, and I was told by my grandpa that I needed to find you."

"Why?" Danny looked nervous.

"Look, last night a spaceship came through a black hole far out past Pluto. It is believed to be from an empire that is looking to take control of Earth."

"Did you say the Empire? Last night an old man appeared in my room and warned me of an Empire coming to occupy the planet. He said there was a band forming to stop the invasion. The question is, why are you coming to me?"

"Well, I guess I can't hold any secrets from you. I'm a dragon."

Danny stared at him with a face that said "I don't believe it, you're lying".

"Come here, I can prove it."

Jake went into an alley, leaving Danny to stand there. There was a bright flash of blue light, and out emerged a red scaly figure with a yellow underbelly.

"I'm the American Dragon, and my Grandfather told me to find you.

Danny stood there, mouth agape. When he regained movement he spoke.

"And why do you need me?" he asked.

"Aren't you the half ghost? Danny Fenton?"

"So I see you know about me. Well then, I guess we need to figure out who the others are."

Jake returned to his human form and the two boys went into the house.

"Col. Shay, you are prepared for takeoff," Kim said through the microphone. She and Ron were in their seats at the mission control of a top secret government launch pad in New York..

"Roger that," came the reply.

They heard the engines roar as the man took off to face the large ship that hung not far above the planet.

"Sir, it will be thirty minutes till we land," said a commander.

"Prepare the fleet. The invasion will be swift!" said a raspy, mechanical voice.

Darth Vader walked onto the bridge of the Imperial Destroyer Class II. As he reached the front of the bridge a raar started beeping.

"Sir, there is an unidentified aircraft heading this way. Nothing like I've ever seen before."

There was some static, then a voice rang clear throughout the ship.

"Unidentified spacecraft. We wish to talk."

"Out of our way. Do not resist, the invasion will be swift!" Vader declared.

"You will cease and desist," Shay said.

"I will say this one more time. Get out of my way or you will be shot down," was the response from Darth Vader.

"Never!"

The tip of the ship lit up, and then a green blast of energy hit Col. Shay head on. His ship went spiraling down, with the man inside quickly grabbing for the oxygen tanks.

"Colonel!" came Kim's voice through the radio, but he had no time to respond. The ground was now in sight, and he was grabbing at the controls, trying to right the ship. The ground was coming even closer, and he could now see many trees coming up under him. He knew now that there was no way the ship wasn't going to crash. He yanked at a striped lever, and felt himself jerked upwards as the ejection seat shot him at a hundred miles an hour upwards. The parachute opened, and Col. Shay watched his ship crash and burn in the middle of the jungle.

Jake and Danny were sitting in Danny's room, trying to figure out where the resistance could be, when his phone rang.

"Hey G," he answered. "Wait, what! What! Really? Well I'll be back there as soon as I can."

"What was that?" Danny asked.

"It's Gramps. A group spotted a single ship launched in New York, going to confront the aliens, and getting shot down."

Danny's eyes widened. "That means.."

"We've gotta get to New York."

Kim and Ron were sitting at the control panels, desperately trying to get in contact with the Colonel.

"Col. Shay! Come in!" Kim was screaming into the mic.

"Kim..." Ron started.

"Come in!" she shouted, tears in her eyes.

"Kim..."

"Come in!'

"KIM! Listen, he got shot down. His microphone is out. There's no way to know if he's alive or not."

Kim hung her head in despair, and just sat in the chair for a long while.
