It's recess time at Millard Fillmore Middle School and Jake's friends approach him. "Yo, Jake. What's up?" Trixie asks.
Jake then gives a brief summary of what happened to Haley.
"The Huntsgirl did what?" Spud asks, almost forgetting to keep his voice low.
"I told you, Spud." Jake replies. "Suggesting this to the Huntspunk was the only way he wouldn't slay my sister."
"I don't know, Jakey." Trixie comments. "I think Rose betrayed you and is using a save face excuse."
"Did anyone say my name?" Rose asks as she approaches Team Dragon. She then notices Trixie's glare and Spud's scared expression. "You told them, didn't you?" Rose sadly asks Jake.
Jake nods in agreement. "Anyway, any news about my sister?"
"Not yet." Rose sadly answers. "The Huntsmaster and I will discuss the trap after I get back home from school."
"Listen here, Huntsgirl, if you dare to harm Haley I'll make you really sorry." Trixie warns.
Not knowing what to say, Rose leaves.
"Trixie, did you really have to treat Rose like that?" Jake asks, upset. "She's already too hurt from Mom's and Haley's accusations."
"Little Miss Ninja thing deserves it, Jake." Trixie replies. "You may be willing to forgive her past actions because you love her but nobody else will forgive her so easily. And I'm still afraid she'll betray us."
Jake now is too eager to end this conversation. "We'll talk later at Grandpa's shop." He says and then leaves.
"Trixie, I know I have my worries about Rose but you shouldn't have talked like that." Spud comments.
"Spud, I don't know what you and Jake experienced while working undercover at the Huntsclan but nobody changes that easy." Trixie replies. "She's just waiting for a chance to betray Jake and he's too stupid to notice her plan of using Haley as a bait is proof of it."
LINE BREAK – Canal Street Electronics
Jake, Trixie, Spud, Susan, Sun, Lao Shi and Fu are discussing what to do about Haley.
"Maybe we can ask Rose to drop her cover and get Haley out of the Huntsclan's grasp." Spud suggests.
"Spud, the Huntsclan probably made it so Rose would have no chance." Lao Shi replies.
"Or at least that's the excuse that slayer is gonna use so she'll refuse and keep tricking us." Susan angrily retorts.
"Mom, Rose is on our side now." Jake replies.
"A slayer is a slayer, Jake." Susan comments. "I won't allow you to see her more than needed by your dragon duties and the fact you attend the same school she does."
"Susan, let's focus on Haley." Lao Shi asks. "I've asked Rose to inform about any upgrades as soon as possible."
"Lao Shi, I usually trust your judgement but can we trust a dragonslayer?" Sun Park asks.
"Rose has already proven her love for Jake to outweight her previous hatred of dragons." Lao Shi replies. "Young dragon, do you mind if I tell them about the ultimate evidence shown at the love cruise?"
"Well, it that's needed." Jake sadly replies.
"Out of fear Jake would be distracted by his relationship with Rose, I've asked her to keep it at a professional level." Lao Shi explains. "At that time, Cupid went on vacation and left his arrows under Jake's care. Because Jake thought Rose didn't love him anymore, he decided to hit her with one of Cupid's arrows. Since she truly loves him, the arrow caused her to hate him again until she was hit by a second arrow."
"Jake!" Susan scolds. "I'm shocked you did something like that. It's something I'd expect Huntsgirl to do with you."
"Anyway, the Huntsclan will be going to prepare a trap at Central Park." Lao Shi comments. "We could patrol the area without them suspecting we already know something."
Later, at Central Park, the Huntsclan members are positioning themselves. The Huntsclan, the Huntsgirl, 88 and 89 are keeping an eye at Haley. "Be careful. We can't let any of those filthy dragons see us until we're all ready. It's a good thing they probably think we've already slain that one."
Haley then notices Jake flying around and, despite being restrained by sphinx hair reinforced chains, she manages to call for help. "Here. Here."
Jake hears the scream and motions for his Grandfather. "I found her, Gramps!" Jake and Lao Shi then approach. "Let her go, Huntspunk." Jake demands.
"You're not in condition to demand anything, dragon." The Huntsmaster replies. "Huntsmen, go after them. 88, 89, Huntsgirl and I will wait here to keep an eye on this dragon."
Jake and Lao Shi lead the hunters away. Sun Park sees this as a chance to approach. "Violence isn't the answer, dragonslayers. Can't we solve it on a peaceful way?"
"With disguisting creatures like yourself?" The Huntsmaster angrily replies. "No way."
"In that case." Sun replies and then approaches the hunters as much as possible with the Huntstaff firing. Once she believes herself to be close enough, she starts glowing, offuscating the hunters. While the Huntsmaster and the Huntsgirl manage to keep holding their Huntstaffs, 88 and 89, drop their accidentally hitting the other hunters. Sun takess advantage of this distraction to grab one of the Huntsboys' Huntstaffs and use it to break Haley's chains. The two female dragons then fly away, dodging the blasts from the Huntsmaster and the Huntsgirl. The later of them being easy since she's not really trying.
"You idiots!" The Huntsmaster berates 88 and 89. "You let them escape. I'd give you both to the kraken had I not prepared a backup plan."
Do I know how to make a twist? Please review.
