Chapter 4

_____________________________________________________________________

Frederic woke up slowly and look around. Fortunatly he don't realize that he was in the magical-world. Than he saw Jake and got a little smile, a face he knowing.

"Frederic! Frederic, how are you?" Jake asked.

Frederic, who still was almost unconcinous, look around again and saw the magical creatures behind the window in the corridor in front of his room and start to shout:

"Awwww.... oh... my god! I have to get out of here!!!" and jump out of his bed. "JAKE, please safe me..." and jump in Jake's way."

"Hey, calm down Frederic! Why should I protect you?" Jake asked confused and catch Frederic before he could jump out of the window.

"You are the american-dragon, you protect people, right..."

"WHAT? YOU NOW THAT I AM..." Jake shout shocked but cound't finisch the sentence.

Everybody was quiet now and stare at Frederic.

_____________________________________________________________________

Eli Pandarus sat at the big couch in his hideout and look at his prisoners. Now Trixie and Kyle also bind on that movable tables. In the last hours Pandarus told the Spudinskis and Kyle everthing. About Jake, dragons, the magical-community, the huntsclan etc...

The voicless Spudinskis stare at thier son and shake thier heads. They wanted to say something but the other couldn't hear it. Kyle was really shocked, too. He remembered the talent-show, Rotwood's thesises and the story his little brother told him after the convention, where he said he had a date with Trixie, what he never understand.

"Kyle I can explain?" Trixie said but Kyle only stare at her. "But first, Mr. Pandarus, you explain 'us' why you captured us!"

"O you really want to know it? Okay, I will explain!" Pandarus said and press a button on the control desk.

The tables, all the prisioners where laying turn in way of the biggest screen where a little movie start during Pandarus explain:

"7 months ago, your dragon friend took away me the can of Pandorra. Okay you think that's okay. But you two, blame me. Than after a few weeks, I could feel that I got weaker and weaker. I find out that I need the power of pandora to protect my powers before I get a... a... a human! That would be the worst thing for me!"

"Hey, now I'm offended!" Kyle said. Pandarus got angrliy and shoot with his magic at Kyle, so that he also lost his voice.

"I said be quiet!!! Well, now you know what I want!"

"But we haven't it!" Spud said. "After the happenings on the institute we brought it to Draco's Island. There it's safe!"

"What!? AWWW.... okay, than I have to use plan B!" Pandarus said and walk back to the desk.

"What plan B?" Trixie asked and look around. The Spudinskis and Kyle still voiceless, and Spud looking confusly at Pandarus.

"You, want to know it, right? Okay, when you don't wanted to give me my properity back, my human-bondsman will help me!" Pandarus said and press another button. But than a big ERROR appears on the screen. "What?" he press again and a few other words appear: Nail destroyed, bondsman lost.

"Awwww... no! New York please, this is the island speaking. What happend with the human?" Pandarus shout and on the screen appear the troll from New York again.

"O boss, it happend a few minutes after your last call!"

"And what?"

"Well, the human got back his memory and flee!" the troll said and hold his ears because he know how Pandarus will react.

"WHAT! YOU STUPID IDIOT! YOU RUINED PLAN B!!!" Pandarus shout, than he got very quite: "Uhhh... now I have headache. Well, DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?"

"Unfortunately no, when we wanted to stop him he got injured, so we thaugh..."

"SO, YOU THAUGH? THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS ALLOWED TO THINKING IS ME!!!" Pandarus shoot at the screen again, and like before it splitt into thousands of pieces.

Everybody was shocked. Spud and Trixie much more when they heared that a other human is involted. Who is he? And what did he do?

"Well, you had luck. Plan B will not happen. I ever hoped that it will not become truth, but now it's time for Plan C!"

"And what's that?" Trixie asked again.

"I get the American Dragons attention with something he can't ignore." Pandarus said and press some buttons. "I think 8.2 for 30 seconds is enough."

"Enough? Enough for what?" Spud asked.

Than the big spere above him start to shine in different colors. Three big flashes appear around it and grew up into the celling. A few seconds later on all screens appear different parts of the island: the mountains, the biggest town, some villages and the airport. Than Pandarus snap with the fingers and start to float one foot above the floor. Seconds later it happens:

Everywhere on the island the ground start to shake. Windows bust, cars crashed, electric-cables gone broken. The most people sleep at that time, so it surprised them in sleep. In panic the people ran out of thier houses before they colapse.

On the airport, the runway broke off and the tower collaps. In the villages some roofs colaps and the streets broke away. Everywhere crying and shouting people flee. Trees falls on houses and streets. In the biggest town some of the high buildings colapse. After 30 seconds the earthquake ended.

Trixie, Spud, his parents and Kyle look shoked on the screens. The most houses and streets on the island where destroyed or damaged. Everywhere fire, crying people and desperation.

"You monster!" Trixie said but Pandarus don't react.

_____________________________________________________________________

At the same time, Frederic calmed down. The gapers in the corridor leaved and the doctor, after he had to explain Frederic that he don't like human-blood, said that he is okay. When the doctor leave Frederic stare at Jake and his family.

"That's unbelivable! Rotwood was always right!" Frederic said.

"Don't say that! Rotwood know nothing about magical-creatures and how they are... I will explain you that later... but now, please say us who did that!" Jake said and sat down on the bed next to Frederic.

"I don't know! I never saw the boss! But I think he is that famous rich man: Eli E. Pandarus."

"Pandarus! I know it!" Jake said. "Frederic, he is an evil wizard who used you as a tool. Do you remember what you have to do."

"No, but... wait... Eli E. Pandarus is a wizard! Wow, my father ever wanted to know how he got rich. He made the money..."

"No Frederic! He don't make money himself. But now say what did he, you, his helpers do..."

"Well, I remember that I met a dark person. Than I feel that nail in my neck. From that moment I coudn't control myself. I woke up hours later without any memory. After I met you at the street, I found a note in my pocket: Thank you for your help. Now I know what it means. Than at the next evening I woke up and remember everything what happend in the time he controled me. I wrote a letter to the Spudinskis that they won a journey...."

"Oh my god... the journey is a trap!" Jake said shocked.

"And that's not all! I took some photos of you as a dragon with Spud and the girl, Trixie Carter. And there was something other,... I... I copy a disk from my father for him."

"And what was on that disk?"

"Only some flight-tables. He works on JFK! And there was something other I heared, he said that he want back his 'pandor'. No, Pandorra! Something with Pandorra!"

"Yes, I know what he want!" Jake explain.

"Than, I woke up in a warehouse or something, feel that nail in my back and realize what I did. I saw Spud his parents, Trixie and Kyle Wilkins on a screen. Binded up on tables."

"What! Trixie is also there?"

"I think yes, than after the screen switch of, I sneak away. But they wanted to catch me again. I run, and run. Than I feel that I hit and fall down a stair or a hill... I don't remember. I run to your house and than... than I woke up here. By the way where I am?" Frederic finish his story.

"At a magical-hospital! The doctor said you are okay, and you have to help me now." Jake said and give Frederic his clouthes.

"I should help you! And how?" Frederic asked. "I know nothing about you and your... species!"

"Species!" Jake said a little angrily. "Frederic you can trust me!"

When both wanted go leave the room, Jake's mother run into the room. She said that he should watch the news. Jake and Frederic walk to the little TV in the corridor and watch the news from the humans-world.

"...it's not sure, but around one hour ago a terrible earthquake hit that island south of the Bahamas. The communication to the island broke up after a seismograph registred a magnitute of 8.2 on the Richter-Scale..."

"Oh no, plan C!!!" Frederic said.

_____________________________________________________________________After a short flight, Jake, his family and Frederic landed behind the electronic-shop. A few seconds later Sun Park landed also there. When she transform back into her human-form, Frederic hold his head: "Ms. Park you a dragon, too! Does everybody I know have special abilities, instead of me."

"Oh, please don't get a heart-attack now." Haley said.

When they all stood in the shop, Jake search between the papers for the number. When he found it he took the phone and call his grandfather. But he was not in his hotel.

"Aww...maaan... I can't arrive him! We are alone."

"Okay, the old man is your mentor, can I understand it so?" Frederic asked.

"Yes, you can! Okay where is that map Spud showed me... ahhh... can anyone switch-on the TV? Maybe they have new news above the earthquake."

Jonathan switch on the more than 25 years old TV on the table and the news appear. The ancorman said good-bye and the advertising start.

"We missed it! Try the magical-channel." Susan said. Frederic now looked more interested: "What you have own TV-channels."

At the magical-channel the news begin at that moment.

"Good morning ladies and gentleman, here are the morning news at 6 on the Magical-Channel-New York... Last night around 3am a 30 seconds long earthquake with a maginitute of 8,2 hit a little island in the north of the bahamas. Eye-witnesses said that they saw the human Arthur 'Spud' Spudinski, the friend of the American-Dragon Jake Long entering a hotel on the south of the island. During the earthquake, the hotel disappeared in a big green cloud...."

"The hotel, it was a fake..." Frederic remembered. Everybody look on the TV. What should they know also.
