Hi!

Ok, first of I would like to apologize for the long wait, I have been very busy lately. Secondly, I really hope you'll enjoy this chapter, I promise that the next chapter will be out soon. :D

Please fav and/or review. :D

Later that evening Jake was awakened by an alarm clock, which was coming from one of the other rooms, his sensitive ears had picked it up through the walls. Jake tried to silence the noise by covering his ears with his pillow, but it didn't work. Who would even set an alarm for in the middle of the day?

"Aw man," Jake groaned to himself, as he sat up in the bed. He sat there for a while, staring into the empty air, as he suddenly noticed that it was dark in his room. He turned around and looked out the window, even though he only had a view of a brick wall through his window, he knew that it was getting dark outside.

He had promised to meet Danny and Randy outside the school when it got dark. Suddenly Jake was in a hurry, he got dressed in a flash and then he hurried out the door, barely remembering to open his window slightly, just in case he needed it later.

When he got to the school, Danny and Randy were already waiting, but they didn't seem too annoyed.

"Hi guys," Jake said as he landed next to them, "sorry I'm late."

"It's fine," Danny answered.

"So, what's your plan?" The ninja asked Danny.

"I don't really have any," Danny said with an apologetic look on his face.

"I thought you said you had a plan?"

"No, I said: 'I think I have a plan', which I don't, so…"

"Well, we'll just have to look for them the old fashion way, we'll search the entire city." Jake broke into their argument.

"But that could take us forever!" The Ninja exclaimed.

"Not if we fly," Danny argued.

"Ok, let's get going then," Jake said, spreading his wings, ready for take off

"Yeah, we gotta hurry," Danny answered.

"Wait a second, what the juice did you expect me to do? I can't fly!" The Ninja said.

"oh yeah, sorry Ninja, but that's no problem you can fly on me," Jake said. (AN: please keep in mind that Jake is bigger in my story)

"Are you serious?! Fly? On a dragon!? That's so bruce!" The Ninja exclaimed, as he raised his arm in excitement, "and scary…" he added, and suddenly he seemed less determined.

"Scary? Don't worry, I won't let you fall," Jake assured him.

"I'm not worried," The Ninja said nervously as he jumped onto Jake's back.

"Great now let's get going," Danny said, as both he and Jake took off.

It was obvious to Jake that Randy was nervous, and possibly even a bit scared, he could hear his heart beat faster than it should be, even over the whistling of the wind.

"Let's start by the docs," Danny said when they were in the air.

"Ok," Jake answered simply.

About 20 minutes after they took off, The Ninja started to relax.

"So, Jake, could I ask you about something?"

"Um, sure,"

"Are there other dragons than you?"

"Um, yeah, a few,"

"And can you really breathe fire?"

"Yes,"

"Where do you live?"

"Sorry, but I can't tell you that."

"Why not?"

"Because, neither of you should even know that I exist.

"Why not?"

"Why do you suddenly ask so many questions?"

"Gee, I don't know, maybe because of the fact that you are a DRAGON!"

"Why can't you ask Danny some questions, I mean he is a ghost."

"Actually, I'm curious about you too." Danny cut in.

"Forget it, I won't speak to you anymore."

"Fine, but I'll keep asking you questions." Randy said, as he continued to ask about everything imaginable, they went on like that for over an hour, Jake refused to answer most of The Ninja's questions, but he did answer some of them.

"Do you cast off the slough once in a while like other reptiles?"

"Who said that I'm a reptile?"

"If you're not a reptile, then what are you?"

"Enough, one more question and I'll 'accidentally' drop you."

"Ok, ok, no need to get mean."

"I'm not mean, I'm fair," Jake said with a smirk.

Silence reigned for a few minutes, before it once again was broken.

"Argh, We have searched the entire city now, but they're nowhere to be found." Danny said.

"What do we do then?" The Ninja asked, "That didn't count as a question," he added, as he quickly grabbed one of the spikes on Jake's back, as if he expected Jake to throw him off.

Jake laughed, "Well, we didn't really check the school, did we?"

"No, I guess we didn't." Danny answered, slightly discouraged.

"Then let's do that." The Ninja said.

They flew towards the school, and Jake caught the scent of the ghosts they were looking for.

"We've found them!" Jake exclaimed happily, as he skidded to a halt.

"What are you talking about? We haven't found them yet." Danny asked confused, as he stopped as well, next to the hovering dragon.

"Oh, umm…" Jake tried to come up with a lie quick. He had, once again, said too much, "I… um… meant…"

"Stop talking," Danny interrupted, "We already know that the next thing you say is a lie."

Jake wanted to object, but he knew that it was the truth, he sighed. It wasn't because he wanted to lie to them, but when they got the amulet, they would probably never see each other again, therefor there was no reasons to tell them any of his secrets.

"I can't tell you how I know it, you just have to trust me. Skulker and Aragon are inside the school."

Danny and Randy looked uncertainly at each other.

"Come on guys, I don't know so much about you two either,"

"No, but…" The Ninja started, but he trailed off.

"Just follow me," Jake said annoyed, as he began his descend towards the school.

Danny followed, although he was still a little grumpy. They landed close to the source of the smell, which was coming from inside the school, and Randy jumped off of Jake's back.

"Ok, how do we do this?" The Ninja asked.

"Well, first off, you'll need a weapon that actually works on ghosts," Danny said, as he took a small gadget off his wrist, "This is another one of the Fenton's inventions, it's called the Fenton Wrist Ray. It can fire a ray of energy and ectoplasm, it's not exactly deadly, but it'll work better than physical attacks." Danny said, as he handed the wrist ray to the Ninja.

"Thanks," Randy said, as he put on the wrist ray.

"Ok, Jake, I did some exploring in the Fenton's lab earlier, and I found this," Danny said, as he showed Jake a small pistol like device, "This is, and please keep in mind that I didn't name it, The-Fenton's-Make-Ghosts-Tangible-Ray. It allows the user to touch intangible ghosts for a limited time."

"Why can't I use it too?" The Ninja asked, as he looked amazed at the device.

"Because it doesn't work on humans,"

"What? That's wonk, why did that Fenton guy invent it if it doesn't work on humans?"

"Well, I have no ideas. Do you wanna give it a try, Jake? It would give you a huge advantage against them."

"Um… sure." Jake said, slightly confused, mere moments earlier Danny had expressed his distrust against him, and now he was giving him a weapon, which would make it easy for him to defeat ghosts, including Danny himself.

"Ok, you might feel a little pinch," Danny said, as he pulled the trigger. A light green ray hit Jake, it made his entire body shine green, before it died out.

"Did it work?" Jake asked, as he shook himself.

"Let's see," Danny answered, he held up his left hand, while he waved the other one directly through it, to demonstrate that the left hand truly was intangible. Then he touched Jake's shoulder with the intangible hand, but instead of phasing right through him, the hand felt completely tangible, yet a tad cold to the touch.

"Bruce," the Ninja exclaimed, as he waved his own hand through Danny's intangible one, which was still resting on Jake's shoulder.

"Thank you Danny,"

"No problem. Actually there is one more thing, Ninja" Danny said, as he took a thermos from his belt, "you can use this to capture Skulker or Aragon, or both of them. You just take off the lid, point it towards them and put the lid back on when they're in there. But be careful that you don't capture me instead. There's terribly little space in there."

Danny gave the thermos to the Ninja, who fastened it to his own belt.

"Ok," Jake said, "Danny you can get us in there, right?"

"Sure,"

Danny and the Ninja followed Jake, as he sniffed out the ghosts' exact location. When he found it he signaled for Danny and the Ninja to get onto his back. Danny made all three of them intangible and invisible, and Jake sprung through the wall and into a perfectly normal classroom.

At first they just stayed where they were, still invisible, Jake could smell the presence of Skulker and Aragon, but they were nowhere to be found. After a while of nothing, Danny made them visible again, as he and the Ninja jumped off of his back on either side of him.

"They're not here?" Danny said, he looked at Jake, slightly distrustful.

"I… I don't get…" he started, but he was interrupted, as the smell of the ghosts suddenly intensified, now it was coming from either side of them, he looked to the right, Aragon in his dragon-form was racing towards them. He didn't have time to look, but he was sure that Skulker was coming from the other side as well. He spread his wing, and pushed both Danny and the Ninja out of the way with them, while he barely made it himself. Jake landed on his feet between Danny and the Ninja, who had both been knocked over.

"What was that for?!" the Ninja exclaimed as he got to his feet, but no explanation was needed, when both Danny and the Ninja saw the ghosts.

Skulker and Aragon had run into one another, when their targets had moved.

Jake had been stupid, of course Aragon had dragon senses as well as him, it wouldn't make sense if he didn't.

Aragon and Skulker were on their feet again, Aragon went into a crouched position, while he snarled at Jake. Jake mimicked the position and snarled back, he only had his eyes on the amulet around Aragon's neck.

Both dragons was ready to leap at each other, but neither of them had the change, because at that moment, both Danny and the Ninja attacked Aragon, Danny fired a ghost ray at his face, while the Ninja knocked him over with a kick.

Jake watched the three of them, as they tumbled around in the classroom, leaving tables and chairs knocked over or destroyed in their wake.

Apparently, Skulker chose to take advantage on Jake's unawareness, and hit him on his chest with a ghost ray. That woke Jake up, and he attacked Skulker with all of his might.

The battle against Jake and Skulker only lasted a few minutes, before Jake had defeated him, although he had gained some scratches himself. The-Fenton's-Make-Ghosts-Tangible-Ray had really given him a huge advantage.

Jake had forgotten about the fight between Aragon and his friends in the heat of his own fight, but now he was finally able to look for Danny, the Ninja and Aragon, but what he saw wasn't very satisfying.

The Ninja laid, knocked out, on the floor a few meters away from an intense battle between Danny and Aragon. But that didn't last long though, Aragon somehow managed to throw Danny into the blackboard with a thud, he fell unconscious to the floor, and transformed back into his human form.

I guess even though Danny is a ghost, he isn't invulnerable. Jake thought, as the victorious dragon turned towards the unconscious Ninja with an evil look on his face.

Jake took action, he leapt in between Aragon and the Ninja with a warning snarl. Aragon seemed slightly surprised at first, but he got over it quickly.

"I knew I shouldn't have hired that incompetent 'hunter', I must do everything myself." Aragon snarled. Jake wasn't in the mood to talk, so he attacked the bigger dragon, full force.

They tumbled around on the floor like two wild animals, both dragons was trying to bite down on the others neck. Jake tried to keep the fight away from his unconscious friends, so they didn't squash them on accident.

Finally, after a few minutes Aragon made a mistake, he had left his shoulder unprotected when he snapped at Jake's front legs. Jake took the opportunity and caught hold of Aragon's shoulder with his teeth. Aragon yelped with pain, but only a few seconds later, it was Jake, who was howling with pain, when Aragon grabbed his neck with his teeth.

Jake, who wasn't used to fight one on one with another dragon, hadn't realized that by grabbing Aragon's shoulder, he had completely bared his own neck for him.

Jake let go of Aragon, the pain was too much to bear. His vision turned blurry, and he felt himself drift deeper and deeper into unconsciousness. He could faintly hear some noise, but he was too tired to listen, the pain suddenly stopped, and then everything went black.


Jake slowly started to regain consciousness, the first thing he noticed, was that his wound still hurt, but someone had cleaned and dressed it. Then he faintly heard that someone was talking near him.

He opened his eyes slightly, but outside his mind, everything was far too bright, he tried to hide his head under his wing, to keep out the light, but that position hurt because of his wound. Therefore, he decided to open his eyes again.

"What… What happened…" he said, his voice were weak and throaty.

"Look who decided to wake up," Danny said, he sounded sarcastic, but he looked quite relieved.

Jake suddenly remembered everything, when he saw the Ninja and Danny, who had retransformed into a ghost. Jake couldn't help glancing at himself, Thank goodness I'm still a dragon! He thought, as he remembered that Danny turned human, whenever he fainted.

"Yeah, we were afraid that you wouldn't wake up," the Ninja agreed. The ghost and the ninja was sitting a few meters away, both of them had gained some wounds, but they seemed to be ok.

"What happened after I fainted?" Jake asked, as he tried to get up, but his legs were shaky, and he gained a shooting pain from his wound, so he fell back down, he couldn't even lift his head from the ground.

"I would lie still if I were you," the Ninja said worriedly.

"I'm serious, what happened?" Jake asked again from the floor.

"Well, Aragon didn't notice that I woke up," Danny answered, "I was able to get his amulet and catch him in the thermos, before he even noticed me, but there was no sign of Skulker anywhere. Then the Ninja woke up as well, and with some of his healing art stuff, we were able to treat your wound decently. And that's pretty much it."

"But… it's morning. And… this is a school." Jake said nervously, as he looked around, he didn't have any strength left, he couldn't even lift his head from the floor right now, he had no idea what to do if this classroom suddenly got filled with teenagers.

"Oh, don't worry it's Sunday." The Ninja said, and Jake relaxed.

Jake realized that that meant that (AN: Wow, a lot of 'that's) it had been about a week since he left home.

"Where's the amulet?" he asked.

"Right here," The Ninja said, as he held up the amulet

"Oh," Jake said, "thank you."

"It's us who should thank you," the Ninja said, "we don't know what happened exactly, but you saved us."

"I just still don't understand how you knew where Skulker and Aragon was… twice." Danny, who had been silent for a while, said. Jake got nervous at that, once again he tried to get up, and once again he failed. "I do realize that you have your secrets, but we're your friends, you can tell us."

Yeah right, Jake thought sarcastically, how can he say that, when he is keeping a secret from Randy and me as well?

"No. I can't tell you." Jake just said.

Silence reigned for a while, before the Ninja broke it:

"Well, if you won't tell us that, then how is it that nobody knows about dragons existence?"

Jake sighed, it seemed that the Ninja had decided to resume his 'interrogation' from the night before.

"Fine, if you won't tell us that either, then why…"

This is going to be a long day. Jake thought, as he closed his eyes.
