Five days had passed since they had discovered Jake's dragon abilities they had managed to deceive there master. "Yo check it" said Jake "dragon up" blue flames engulfed him as he changed into a dragon. His scales became red his underbelly a yellow he grew an extra few meters in height but nothing else changed that much. Thought Rose she was impressed at how fast Jake had mastered his new powers Jake could do anything once he put his mind to it.
"I'm ready to try flying" spoke Jake as he began to flap his wings. He jumped off the building Rose rushed to the edge expecting to see Jake unconscious at the bottom, but instead felt a gust of wind as he flew past her. He continued gaining height as he felt the cool wind rush against his scales it was the most amazing thing he felt and the view was spectacular you couldn't get this from standing in a skyscraper. As he rushed back down and swooped Rose up.
"Jake what are you doing?" she Asked.
"You have got to see this" as he placed Rose safely around his neck. She looked around it was the most amazing view she had ever seen the cars far down below looked like ants. The wind rushing against her skin and the skyscrapers surrounding them then Jake began a vertical dive. Rose screamed as she hung on tight then Jake pulled up landing softy on the pavement, as he changed back she kissed him.
"I think you've mastered your dragon powers boy" said Rose.
"Oh do you want to go again?" asked Jake.
"As amazing as that was and the rush from it it's too risky we can't be seen together while you're in dragon form" answered Rose as she cuddled Jake.
"Hello" said Haley Jake had to resist the urge to attack her.
"Hello" said Jake and Rose together.
"What's a sweet girl like you doing on the streets?" asked Rose
"I'm just going to my grandfather's shop" answered Haley she continued "I also know you're a dragon you don't need to worry I'm a dragon to" said Haley
"you should come to my Grandfather's with me he'd love to know there's another dragon around." Rose and Jake exchanged glances was possible that this girl was the American Dragon thought Rose
"sure I'd love to" lied Jake.
The three of them entered the electronic shop the last time Jake was here he had been in his hunts gear so Lau Shi didn't recognize him.
"Hello Haley and I see you've brought friends you know they'll have to leave soon" said Lau Shi.
"No I won't" said Jake "you see I'm a dragon as well and this lovely lady here also knows" at this he changed showing Gramps who he was.
"I figured you were around here and I thought that it couldn't hurt to join Haley in her dragon training" said Jake. "Very well" said Lau Shi.
"Well I have better things to do then watch two dragons train" spoke Rose "I'll cya latter
"Hunts girl" spoke Huntsman.
"Yes master" said Rose.
"Where is hunts boy? He asked.
"I don't know" she lied.
"its two days from the great equinox hunt I can't have recruits go missing. Tell him to see me the moment he gets back".
Jake entered his room to find Roe standing before him
"the Master wants to see you he's suspicious as to where you've been" spoke Rose.
"What did you tell him?" asked Jake.
"Nothing" said Rose.
"Thanks a bunch" as he left his room for the huntsmen's office
Jake knocked on the Huntsman's door "who is it?" asked Huntsmen.
"Hunts boy" the door flew open with an exploding force
"Where have you been" he boomed. If Jake was new to the hunts clan he would have broken down and told him everything right there and then.
"I've been training in secret for the hunt not even Hunts girl knows. I was going to use the next two days to rest up" said Jake. "Very well you may go" he said.
Jake entered his quarters again Rose flung his arms around him kissing him.
"Not tonight he worked me to the bone" said Jake.
"who hunts men or the other guy?" asked Rose as she massaged his chest.
"The other Guy" answered Jake.
"Do you want me to go? She asked he could tell she was hurt at this.
"no Rose I love you more than anything just know if you stay there won't be anything happening" as Jake lied down on the bed Rose made her choice and leaned on his chest. He snaked an arm around her and she snuggled into him feeling safe again.
Rose woke up to the huntsman shouting "Hunts boy wake up".
"Five more minutes" she heard Jake mumble .Not wanting the huntsmen to intrude she flicked Jake's left ear softly. "Ouch" cried Jake although his attention quickly turned to the person booming on his door.
"In a minute" said Jake so that the huntsmen could hear him. He quickly got dressed into his hunts gear. Rose had left her gear here from last night. Not that she and Jake did anything but that gear was uncomfortable to sleep in.
Jake opened the door fully dressed Rose was hidden from view what she and Jake did was there business and no one else needed to know.
"I would like you to join us in a plan to capture the American dragon she is to be the Grand prize of tomorrows hunts".
It would be my Horner" said Jake
"Join us in five in the main hall" spoke the huntsman.
"I've got to go in five that dragon's pelt will fit my room nicely" said Jake.
"As if we both know that I will be the one to have her pelt" argued Rose.
"Why go for her when you have a dragon right here" said Jake.
"Because I love you" replied Rose.
"I love you to Rose" said Jake with a smile.
"Will you get going" she said as Jake grabbed his sorwd and left.
"cya you when I get back" were his last words.
They rushed though the city capturing as many magical creatures as they could for their hunt. Hopefully the American dragon would show up with her dragon master Jake licked his lips at the thought. Then would have two pelts for his room of coarse he would give one to Rose in declaration of his love for her.
Haley heard a scream "ear of the Dragon"
"it's over Leprechaun" said Hunts boy she checked that no one was watching as she dragooned up and flew towards the alley. Just in time to see hunts boy vanishing into the sewers she gave chase and rushed into the sewer's "it's over hunts boy" she said
"Oh really" said Jake. As huntsmen shot her in the back she collapsed unconscious
"Bag her" he called as other members of the clan appeared.
Haley woke up with a headache "hey guys the dragon's awake" spoke Clooney.
"Where am I?" asked Haley.
"Judging by what month it is and where we're we are heading I say where the gusts of the Grand equinox hunt I'm Sliver by the way. The unlucky leprechaun is Clooney the Giants name is Bertha the brownie with anger management issue is Reggie" spoke Sliver.
"Oy I don't have anger management issues I mange anger quite fine thank you very much" said Reggie.
"there's no point trying to brake these change" said Haley knowing the hunts clan would have made it out of something indestructible Sliver nodded in agreement as the vehicle came to a halt
Haley and the others were lead outside and chained to posts while the huntsman explained what happens in the equinox hunt.
"However no one can claim the American dragon except for hunts boy and hunts girl" spoke the Huntsman. "Now everyone go get some rest" he continued.
"What are you doing here?" asked Haley.
"I'm admiring the pelt that will go on my wall" answered Jake.
"as if we all know that the pelt is mine" spoke Rose
"in your dreams maybe" argued Jake what they didn't notice was Haley's tale stretching out and taking the key from Jake's pocket as they were too busy arguing "guess we'll find out at midnight" said Jake as he and Rose walked arm in arm back to their quarters
"Hunts boy get up" yelled the Huntsman.
"What is it Master?" asked Jake.
"I don't know how but the creatures escaped the hunt is to begin early" spoke Huntsman.
"That was amazing Haley" said Sliver.
"But we're still stuck together by these ankle chains" yelled Reggie. A howl went through the night
"looks like they found out" spoke Clooney.
"Run" they all said.
"Your forgetting that we're all chained together" said Haley "if we're going to get out of this we need to work together" .
"The dragon's right" spoke Clooney "though I don't think we're going to escape with my luck" as they climbed a tree.
"Keep searching they have to be around here somewhere" said the huntsman.
"These flowers said Clooney as he sneezed. The hunts clan started firing Haley used the shots to break the chains from herself and her companions as they ran for the hills.
"They got away master" spoke hunts girl.
"No matter we can find them later" said the huntsman.
"Look at us we have no chance of escaping and unlucky leprechaun a mermaid who's afraid of water I hate every one of you even myself" yelled Reggie.
"If we split up they'll pick us of one by one we stand a better chance together" spoke Haley.
"I the dragon's right" said Clooney. "Hopefully we can take the fight to them" replied Haley.
"Time for some payback I like the sound of that" said Reggie.
"We're not warrior's Haley" said Sliver.
"I know but we have a few hours to change that" spoke Haley.
In order to save time just imagine there training from the episode the hunted except with Haley training them
"Give it up dragon" yelled Jake and Rose.
As Jake charged with his sorwd drawn Haley sent him flying into a rock with a flick of her tail, where he slithered down unconscious. Rose became a blur of fury as she launched into a fierce assault Haley barley keeping pace. "How dare you hurt him" yelled Rose. Haley saw an opening and went to strike Jake came around and saw what was about to happen there was no choice he had to do it
"dragon up." He flew faster than ever catching Rose just in time he himself was not so lucky. As Haley's claws raked him. He flew out of sight where he undid the transformation bleeding badly and barley conscious
"Jake" "Jake" Jake" Rose called panicking as she began to cry. There was no doubt the entire clan saw what happened As she grabbed her staff and teleported out.
