Chapter 5

_____________________________________________________________________

Jake look at Frederic, who start to sweat very hard. Frederic was the only one who knows something about Pandarus' plans.

"Frederic, what did you mean with plan C?" Jake asked him.

"Ahhh...what?"

"In the hospital! After we first saw that! You said something above a plan C."

"Yes,... I remember I heard something that when they want the attention of the dragon, they meaned you, they simulate a disaster so that you come to the island and look for your friend... or something else..." Frederic explain and look at the TV which shows terrible pictures from the destroyed island.

"Hmmm... but when the human TV-channels report about that, it can't be a simulation." Haley said.

Jake look at his family and Frederic. What should he do? Is this a fake? Jake know that he coulnd give Pandarus the can of Pandorra back. But he know that his friends need his help.

"I have to go there?" Jake said, transformed and wanted to fly away before Frederic stop him.

"I go with you!"

"No! That's to dangerous!" Jake said and opens the door.

"That's all my fault. Let me help you to retrival. I know how Pandarus hideout looks. And I know his Plan D!" Frederic said.

"PLAN D!" everybody in the room shout shocked. "You mean it's not over!"

But than they all whould be interrupted by the ancorman at the magical news.

"...I repeat: Local scientist said, that the earthquake at the island could be activated the volcano at the island, which was sleeped for more than hundreds of years. A eruption of the volcano could be destroy the whole island. The local magical-community is being evacuated..."

"Oh my god! Is this plan D?" Jake asked worried.

"No, plan D was to catch your family... I think Pandarus also don't know what he did." Frederic said and look at the TV which shows now old black and white pictures of the mountains.

"Well," Sun start to say "I go to Draco's Island. Maybe I found some informations above the island." Sun said and fly away.

"Okay, we both go! And you all go home, look all doors and windows and stay them. Try to arrive gramps and FuDog, or the dragons-concil...no...wait...there also on that dump. Than call some other people who could help us." Jake said, take Frederic on his back and fly away.

"Jake wait...." Susan shout but Jake coulnd hear her "...you can't fly thousands of miles without.... awww... he can't hear me. Let's go home. Maybe we can found someone who arrive my father and... wait what's that..."

At the floor in front of the back-door, where the mail was, an issue of the magical-week-magazin shows some humans on the backs of dragons with the words: Humans! Ready to help us?

"What's that meaning?" everybody asked.

_____________________________________________________________________

"Is that the reason you captured us?" Spud asked. "Because the dragons-concil allowed 'human-supporters' for dragons. Wow we finally accepted..."

"Shut up! Yes, it's true. The nummber of humans who know about the magical-comunity and who do this job as helpers grown up from two, I mean you two, to around 50 worldwide." Pandarus said with a face. "And all these humans are so stupid that they do it for free..."

"Hey, we also don't earn any money and we don't get any potions or magic-stuff. We do it for our friend. Do you have a problem with that." Trixie said and realize that Kyle look at her like a freak.

"Uhhh... that's so pleasant from you! The same stood in this article in an old issue of the magical-week. Here is it... the first human-supporters, Trixie Carter and Arthur Spudinski, said that they all do this to help thier friend. Since that, some dragons worldwide decided to say thier best friends (thier best human-friends) where they are.... And wait where is the other interwiev... here the last issue: 'Sarajevo: The Bosnian-Dragon introduce his new 'human-supporters' at the magical-bazar in Tuzla in the north of the contry.'... Oh and here another good sample... "Inspired by the American-Dragon all dragons in the baltic-states decided to say thier friends the truth... Well, look at the map... 23 contries... and all dragons there, some of them in the teenage-years have people like you."

"Wow, both worlds grown together. That's good..."

"Yeah, yeah...Well the dragons-concil will react now when some humans be kidnapped. And give me what I want, my can, my revenge and my land..."

"What land?" Spud interrupt him.

"Well, I heard that the dragons-concil want to found a new dump for magical-waste, because the dump in Moldova is to small. And this island is one of the places, they think it's okay for they plans. Now, when they find out that there are earthquakes here they think: Awww...no...the gave could collapse! So I can sold them my big cave under the desert of Nevada, which is big enogh to take all the world's magical-waste for the next 50 years. I mean when they could pay me!" Pandarus explain happily.

"So you get tree things with one plan: power, revenge and money." Spud realize and shake his head. That will never happen, he think.

When Pandarus walk to his couch, a phone rang and on the screens appear a phone-sign. Pandarus snap with his fingers and on the biggest screen appear one of his employes.

"Mr. Pandarus, the magical community is abandoned!"

"What! And why? They coulnd't feel the earthquake there. Why they leave?" Pandarus asked.

"We don't know, but we will find out, boss!"

"I hope for you!" Pandarus anserwed and switch off.

What happend there? Pandarus knows that normally live more than 500 magical-creatures live on that island. A little community, but why they leave? Why?

"You can open your eyes again, Frederic! It's all okay." Jake said to the afraid Frederic.

Frederic opens his eyes and was shocked. They where around 500 metres above the Atlantic Ocean. Right of them was the East-Coast of the United-States and left of them the endless ocean. The terrified boy sat on Jake's back and cound't stop to say: WOW!

"Can I ask you: Since when you are a dragon?"

"I'm a dragon from birth. But I got my powers when I was 13. I'm the protector of the magical-community of New York." Jake explain.

"And Rotwood. Why he told you a freak?" Frederic asked and remember his own reaction on that time when Jake sat next to him in the cafeteria and he gone.

"Rotwood knows 'everything' but not everything above magical creatures. You have to know that the most he told in the mythology lessons, is false, a fairytale or something else...he doesn't deserve his 'Professor'. Okay, remember: call him MR. when you see him and not Professor."

"I understand. Ohh...wow... you look unbelivable...you can fly, breath fire... Oh my god... the talent-show..." Frederic said. When he look back he coudn't see New York, or New Yersey. "Hey, ...how fast you can fly?" Frederic wondered.

"I don't know. Look in the backback there. My grandfather said ever, take it with you when you have a emergency far away. He said there is a speedometer and a altimeter. Found it?" Jake turn his head to see Frederic looking in the bag.

"Yes! I think." Frederic took a old wall-watch without numbers. On the right side, the pointer shows the speed and on the left side the altitude. "We are, 1900 feets high and 212 mph fast. Wow."

"Yes, I'm very fast. I hope fast enogh." Jake said and start to increase.

On the destroyed island, the people leave the towns. They take that what they most need, like clothes or little personal things and walk to the beaches. There the most people wait to be evacuated. On the ocean, big ships send thier lifeboats to the harbors to collect injured people.

A young police-officer stood on a platform in front of a waiting group of people who wanted to leave the island. Next to him a reporter with a cameraman, who survived the earthquake on a yacht. The reporter took his microphone and talk into the camera: "Ladies and Gentleman it's unbelivable what happend here. Now the most people want to leave the island with boats and with the help of some ships in the area. Because the airport is destroyed, no airplanes can landing here. The people hope that they get help from the US-Army, which can help for there search for victims under the debris, but it looks like the most people had luck that they could leave thier houses before they collapsed...

_____________________________________________________________________

...but other people said, the earthquake could be triggered by the old volcano in the middle of the island..." the reporter told.

The Longs sat in front of thier TV and look how the population be evacuated. They look and hope, the Spudinskis where free and could leave the island. But Susan only look at the issue of the magical-week. She read the main-story and was really surprised.

"Now, I know why Pandarus catch Trixie and Spud." she said. "Look at this, worldwide more than 20 dragons told thier human-friedns the truth above the magical-world. Now they are human-supporters. The same like Trixie and Spud."

"Do you mean that..." Jonathan asked.

"Yes! Pandarus know that the dragons-concil will react when two humans disappear, who know the truth. The other dragons with human friends will react and...

Than everybody shout: "OH NO! IT'S ALSO A TRAP!

When she found the right file and walk to the exit another dragon followed by two boys entered the archive. Sun know that this boy was the Bosnian-Dragon.
