Jake landed on the concrete as his wings desinagrated into two flames. He was about ten minutes from his prison the teachers claimed to be named "school". He walked forward then placed his board on the ground. He jumped on the board with ease and stretched out his leg pushing him forward. He turned his board slightly every so often to dodge a walking male or female while he wondered what the heck was wrong with that manager.

"There's definitely something wrong with that dude." Jake thought as his eye caught Spud walking down the street.

"Yo, Spud!" Jake yelled out as he stopped his board once he was next to him.

"Hey Jake, what're you doing here so early?" Spud asked as they walked along.

"I just woke up all the sudden." Jake replied. "What are you doing out here so early?" Jake asked as raised an eye brow.

"They're some things that I can't even explain to you Jake." Spud answered plainly. They were now a few yards from the school.

"Yo, Jakey." Trixie waved walking up to him and Spud.

"Hey Trix." Jake said back as they hit their knuckles together.

Spud did the same with her then tapped Jake on the shoulder. "Yo, what up Spud?" He asked.

But what Spud was going to tell Jake was Rotwood standing next to the door entrance of the school building with a camera around his neck and an evil smirk curled on his lips, along with a picture stuffed in his light brown coat pocket. But Jake ignored him when he noticed a noticed a black flash appear on the top of the school building.

Jake had a suspicious look in his eye. "Yo, Spud, I'm gonna check something out real quick can you hold my board?" Jake said then jumped the fence beside the school keeping kids from leaving during classes when they had a break between classes or going out side for lunch. A few teenagers we're in this spot of the school grounds talking and hanging out before class started.

There was an old rusted ladder on the back school a few feet away from the back entrance which was Jake's target. He slipped to the back without a soul noticing. He placed his grip on the old, rusted bars and continued moving them one up above the other. Once he reached the end of the ladder he swiftly jumped up and landed on the school's roof.

The wind blew a slightly harder breeze from on the roof. His hair wove as the wind reached its fingers threw it. He caught something in the corner of his eye. "Ear of the dragon." He whispered his voice blew with the breeze as if nothing was said.

His ear consumed in a flame then reconstructed into a long, crimson ear, pointed at the end. He heard heavy panting and someone dropping to the ground a few yards ahead of him behind a small structure on the roof. Jake walked forward cautiously. As he did so, his ears went once again into a quick flame and back into their normal, tan and slightly pointed selves. He arched his head slightly forward just enough for him to get a glimpse around the corner. He noticed a teenager about the same age as him panting on the ground with a blackish blue cape around his white coat and black pants. With his keen eye he caught strands of red hair across his face. Then it hit him 'Nigel!' Jake thought to himself. He came completely around the corner swiftly. "Nigel?" Jake asked as he walked in front of the young wizard.

He was looking down so Jake could only see from his mouth down from the shadows of the hood of the wizard's cape. He noticed sweat dripping down softly from his panting face. Nigel looked up with his eyes half open from exhaustion. "Yo, what happened?!" Jake asked.

"I-its was Rotwood." Nigel barely managed to say out of breath.

"Say what?! Don't tell me he saw you." Jake said his voice with slight fear and shock.

Nigel simply nodded his head with slight embarrassment. Jake stared at the worn out wizard. "How did you get so out of breath? I know you can teleport yourself without using that much energy." Jake said as Nigel looked up.

"D-don't go down there Long." Nigel replied unable to speak any more.

"I better get you to Grandpa's shop." Jake said as he bent down.

Then, Nigel past out. "Dragon up!" Different shades of blue fire surrounded Jake. Once the flames vanished, a red was left in Jake's place. He picked up Nigel and placed him on his back. Bending his wings, he jumped up valiantly and reopened them. The hood from Nigel's cape fell from its place that rested on his head. Nigel was covered in a cold sweat and was now breathing very rough but low. "Hang on Nigel." Jake commented as he flew swiftly threw the winds small currents.

He arrived at his Grandpa's electronic shop in no time. Flames, once again indulged his entire body as he returned to his human form. He ran into his Grandpa's shop holding Nigel on his back. He opened the door with his right hand. "Yo, Gramps we have a problem!" Jake said as he entered the shop.

"Jake, shouldn't you be in school?" The elder dragon asked as his grandson entered the shop.

"We got trouble Gramps, something happened to Nigel." Jake said as he carried on his back inside the shop and walked towards the back.

"Alright, kid, just take him to the back and we'll let him rest then ask some questions." Jake nodded and went past a curtain the door way preventing any one from seeing the magical items.

He dropped Nigel from his back making the young wizard fall into a sitting position. "Hey kid, shouldn't you get back to school?" Fu asked raising an eye brow.

"Yes Jake, you should get back to school. We can handle things here." Lao Shi commented walking over to Jake.

"Yo Gramps, Nigel told me not to go there. There must be some kinda trap ya hearing me?"

Fu nodded. "When you were walking to school did you notice anything suspicious?"

"Well there was Rotwood. But he's always paranoid."

"Well what was he doing Jake?" His Grandpa asked.

"Well, he was standing at the entrance with a camera around his neck smiling. And Nigel said that Rotwood saw him as a wizard." Jake commented.

"What?!" His grandfather yelled and cursed out loud in Chinese. "Jake, do you know what this means?! If he had a camera he will expose the existence of the magical world!"

"I know Gramps. So what should we do? If I go to school, Rotwood might have a way to expose magical creatures!" Jake commented putting his hands in the air.

"Good point kid, I guess you should stay here and let me and Gramps check it out later."

Spud and Trixie were now in class after being questioned by Rotwood asking where Jake was. "Hey Trix, how do you think Jake's hanging?" Spud whispered to Trixie during class.

"I'm sure Jakey's fine. We'll go to Gramps's shop after school." Trixie replied.

"And what would you be talking about, Jake's where abouts maybe?" Rotwood asked slamming his fist on Trixie's and Spud's desk.

Trix and Spud looked at each other then Rotwood. "No, uh Rotwood we were ju-

"THAT'S PROFESSOR ROTWOOD!!!" Rotwood yelled cutting Trixie. "No, matter. Even if I didn't get Jake I still got another." Rotwood commented with a smirk and walked away back to his deck.

The rest of the class wasn't even paying attention to anything in the class so they just ignored Rotwood's comment. Trixie and Spud gave each other a questioning look. "Do you think he means Nigel?" Spud asked.

"I don't know we'll have to check after class." Trixie answered and went on with not listening to Rotwood either as usual.

Jake laid back on a chair while Fu injected some kind of medicine to Nigel. But when Jake exhaled just now, fire rose from his lips. "Yo, whats up with that?!" Jake asked and Fu turned to Jake.

"Something wrong kid?"

"No worries Fu just an accident." Jake said with a bored tone.

Fu shrugged and walked out the back of the shop. "I'll be right back kid, stay here with Nigel and if he wakes up just ask him what happened and to wait till me and Gramps get back."

"Sure thing Fu."

Loa shi walked into the back room after turning the 'open' sign around to close not that I mattered.

"Bi Fu, G." They left and Jake slacked back in the chair he was in. "Least I can chill instead of going to school." Jake thought as he shut his eyes. As he placed his hands behind his head, his hands engulfed in flames and turned into their dragon state. Jake seized to notice since it made him a little more comfortable with his dragon skin to rest on.

Nigel shot up about 30 minutes later in a cold sweat. He placed his hand on his forehead. "Just a dream." He whispered under his breathe then looked around. "Where am I?" The red head asked in his british accent.

He looked over to see Jake sleeping with fire breathing out of his mouth instead of the usual snore. Nigel raised an eye brow and let out a small laugh. "Guess he's not the cream of the crop in controlling his powers." Nigel stood up from the couch he was laying on.

His blackish blue cape still hung from his shoulders. He looked down at himself. "No need for this now." The cape instantly disappeared within a flash of blue smoke.

Jake's eyes slowly opened as the stench of smoke flowed into his nostrils. He yawned and stretched his arms out. When he placed his arms back down, he noticed his hands to be covered in red scales with deadly sharp black claws. "Weird." Jake muttered making the scales and claws disappear in a flame.

He looked up to see Nigel casting a glance. "You should be careful Long, if you fall asleep in class it could end disastrous."

Jake stood up with a frown.

"Blowing flames and transforming partially to a dragon doesn't show much effort in preparing for battle." Nigel continued.

"Yo, what the heck issat suppose to mean?" Jake asked walking over to Fu's stash of sodas.

Nigel sighed. "You must not train enough if you can't even control your powers while you're asleep."

Jake grabbed a soda and pulled on the bottled cap. Once it opened he placed the edge against his lips. He pulled the soda away, holding it in his right hand. "Yo, I train every day and I've had enough detentions to prove it." A rumbling came from Jake's stomach. He let out a large burp along with a fit of fires. The fire shot towards Nigel. Nigel held out his white wand and was able to stop to fire.

"Watch it, Long." Nigel protested. "Rotwood's sure to- Nigel started then went into thought.

Jake gave him a weird look. "Wait a sec, yo. Didn't you say that Rotwood saw you with your magic and junk?"

Nigel nodded.

"No worries yo about one thing." Nigel looked up. "He already knows about magical creature, I mean he know knows." Jake looked away and took a sip from his soda. "He kinda has seen me a few times." Jake said under his breathe.

Nigel gave Jake a skeptical look. "Well I doubt he's captured you on film." Nigel answered.

"We have to go back to school and get that tape then." Jake's eyes widened. "Wow, never thought that I'd say we needed to go back to school."

"There's more you need to know Long. The way he was able to cast a gaze was because he threw a liquid on my jacket while I was entering the school. It left me out of breath with my cape and wand in hand." Nigel informed.

"Wait, we better tell Fu and G about this yo. It could have to do with that dragon vile the old principle Brock had that turns dragons from their human form." Jake said hoping he was wrong.

"That could be trouble. But how would that affect me? I'm surely not one with a case of the scales." Nigel asked crossing his arms.

"I dunno, maybe Fu will know something." Jake said placing his soda down on a desk then reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a crimson cell phone and dialed the number 2 since that was Fu's speed dial number. The phone rang for a few minutes without an answer. The only thing Jake got was a 'This is the Fu, I'm not here right now, if I owe you money, you got the wrong number leave a messages at the beep' along with his unusual laugh.

Jake sighed. "Yo, Fu, pick up the phone already we need you and Gramps back, later." Jake said then pressed another button on the crimson phone to hang up. "So much for that."

"So what's the plan Long?" Nigel asked.

"We just sit and wait for Gramps and G." It was funny, usually Jake would've said for them to just go and get the tape for themselves, but for some reason he felt it was the wrong decision and had a few thoughts on the situation for once.
