Grandma Manson woke up with a gasp. She jumped on her electric scooter and went to Sam's room to see her bed empty and she quickly went to Jeremy and Pamela's room and exclaimed, "Sam is gone!"
"What?" Jeremy asked as he and Pamela woke up sleepily.
He then saw that the scroll was missing and in place of it was Sam's comb, he picked it up and stared at it, his eyes then widened in realisation of what she did and whispered, "It can't be"
He got out of bed and with his walking stick he ran straight for the closet where his army uniform was, his fear was realised when he saw that the uniform was gone and so was his sword. He ran out into the pouring rain and dropped his walking stick shouting, "Samantha!"
He fell over into the mud, Pamela gasped and ran over to help. He sat up on his arms and saw the gates were wide opened and he whispered in despair, "No!"
Pamela knelt beside him and said great fear, "You must go after her Jeremy! She could be killed in that battlefield!"
"If I reveal her Pamela, she will be" Jeremy said. Pamela covered her mouth in shock and then began to cry, Jeremy held her close and began to cry as well.
Grandma Manson stayed under the cover and looked down sadly. She then closed her eyes and prayed, "Honourable ancestors, hear our prayer. Watch over Samantha as she goes to fight in this war"
In the temple the small flame went out and the large gravestone in the room suddenly began to glow bright and then in flash of light Izzy Manson appeared in the room who was Sam's Great Grandfather.
He then turned to the small dragon and commanded, "Dora awake!"
There was a bright flash of light and the small dragon statue turned into a small blue dragon who then landed on the ground in a small cloud of smoke.
"I LIVE!" Dora shouted as she rose up from the ground. "So tell me what mortal needs my protection Great Ancestor! You just say the word and I'm there!"
"Dora…" Izzy began to say but was cut off as Dora continued, "And let me say something, anybody whose foolish enough to threaten our family vengeance will be mine!"
Dora began to growl but Izzy just groaned and shouted, "DORA!"
"These are the family guardians. They…" Izzy began as he gestured to the statues on the pedestal. Dora then finished with a groan, "Protect the family"
"And you oh demoted one…" Izzy then said. Dora then finished, "I…just ring the gong"
"That's right now if you would be so kind to wake up the ancestors" Izzy said with a smirk.
Dora picked up the gong and began banging it while shouting, "Okay dead people wake up! Rise and shine! Wakey-wakey!"
All the gravestones glowed and many different ancestors appeared and sat down on the gravestones.
"I knew it! I knew it! That Samantha was a trouble maker from the beginning!" One of the ancestors shouted to her dead husband beside her. The husband protested and shouted back, "Don't look at me she gets it from your side of the family!"
"She's just trying to help her father! I would've done the same thing if I were her" Another ancestor made a point.
"That may be true but if she's discovered Jeremy Manson will be shamed, dishonour will come to the family and traditional values will disintegrate!" Another ancestor panicked.
The first ancestor then spoke again as Dora just sat there reading the paper, "My children never caused trouble, and they all became acupuncturists!"
"Well we can't all be acupuncturists!" Her husband then said with annoyance.
"No! Your great granddaughter had to be a cross-dresser!" Another ancestor shouted.
They all began arguing amongst each other until one of them said, "Let a guardian bring her back"
"Yeah we must awaken the most cunning!" One exclaimed as he gestured to a tiger statue. Another one then exclaimed as he gestured to a rabbit, "No the swiftest!"
"No send the wisest!" Another one suggested as she gestured to a monkey statue.
"SILENCE! While I admire your choices, we will send the most powerful of them all" Izzy said as he gestured to the large dragon statue outside the temple.
Dora then smiled as she got up on the empty pedestal and said, "Okay I get the drill. I'll go get Samantha and bring her back"
There was a stunned silence at first but then they all busted out in laughter at the little blue dragon. Dora frowned at them laughing at her.
"You don't think I can do it? I can handle thing you guys throw at me!" Dora protested.
"You had your chance to protect the Manson Family! Let's not forget that your misguidance led John Manson to disaster" Izzy pointed out.
John Manson whose head had been cut off said sarcastically, "Yeah thanks a lot!"
"And your point is?" Dora asked. Izzy then said getting right up in her face, "The point is, we will be sending a real dragon to retrieve Samantha. For instance we will be sending your brother Aragon"
Dora then got really angry and annoyed and shouted, "Hey I am a real dragon!"
Izzy then picked her up and commanded, "You are not worthy of this spot! Now go and wake up Aragon the Great Stone Dragon!"
He threw Dora out the door, she then poked her head back through and asked hopefully, "So you'll get back to me about the job?"
Izzy then threw her gong right into her face, sending her flying down the stairs in pain. Izzy rubbed his temples in annoyance and frustration.
