Disclaimer: Hey everyone; I do not and (unfortunately) will never own the American Dragon Jake Long television series or story line.

Note From the Writer: Hi everybody! I have had this story in my head for quite some time now, and now I am ready to put it together. I am sure that you are really, really, really going to like it! Just so you know, I am going to change up this story a tad bit, meaning when Jake shoves the Dark Dragon into the Vortex of the temple and he gets trapped in there for the next thousand years, Jake, Rose, Trixie, and Spud will be 16 instead of 14 (I always thought of him in this situation acting and being more like a 16 year old adverse to a 14 year old) Otherwise, the characters will remain the same :D

POV of the Story: My story is written about right after Jake has defeated the Dark Dragon in Hong Kong and trapped him in the Dragon Temple for the next thousand years. I never thought that there was much closure there to the story by just locking away the evil villain and leaving him to the future generations that are 1,000 years away, so I am writing a continuation to the story and giving the story a great ending! Anyways, I thoroughly hope that you enjoy! I guarantee lots and lots of chapters. :)

Key: I thought that I just might want to include this so all my readers will know. When font is italicized like this, it will mean that is Jake's or any other character's thoughts. When you see font italicized like this it means that it is the evil character talking though a mean of communication with Jake that you will understand really soon. :) Sorry if I am confusing you now, but I promise that it will all make sense really, really soon! :D

"I can't believe that I have you back," said Jake softly. You don't know how much it has sucked to have to repeat history and go through it all without you! It practically tore me to pieces at first!"

"We can catch up later," Rose whispered quickly, pulling herself out of her passionate embrace with him.

Suddenly, without any warning a crippling pain radiated through Jake's entire body. It felt as if he were burning one minute and almost frozen to death the next. He felt his body stiffen as he felt as if he were falling down and being swallowed up by the earth and his vision clouded over, as if a deep mist had covered them to prevent him from seeing anything. Then, as suddenly as the pain and falling had began, it ended. Jake found himself floating in the middle of a pitch black room that was absolutely frigid.

"Where am I," he murmured just before crying out in sheer pain as another wave of the burning and freezing sensations overtook his body yet again.

Suddenly the entire room filled with the soft sound of the maniacal laughter that could only belong to the Dark Dragon. The sound seemed to echo off the walls and surround Jake in a cloud of evil and darkness.

"You!" Jake moaned accusingly through his pain as he began to think, "What is he doing here? What's happening to me? Where the heck am I even at?" thought Jake.

"Tisk, tisk American Dragon," came a voice so evil that could only belong to that of the dark dragon. "You must not yet be in enough pain if you can still talk. I have to give you credit, you are tougher than I thought. Most dragons would have already fallen if not have gone insane from the intensity of this pain. No matter, I have plenty more pain to inflict upon you if you can reasonably stand this pain so well. Let me try this on you instead."

Suddenly Jake was overtaken by the worst pain in his entire life. It felt as if he was not only burning and freezing to death at the same time, but as if someone had taken an electrical wires and wrapped them around his body and turned them on high. He felt the burning energy of the electricity as seared through every vein in his body as he felt himself screamed in complete agonizing as his body began seizing up and withering like a fish out of water because of the pain.

The dark dragon laughed sinisterly. "Music to my ears!" he exclaimed as he continue to listen to Jake's screams. After what felt like an eternity for Jake, the dark dragon finally clapped his hands twice and said, "that will do." Immediately the pain subsided from Jake's body.

Jake let loose a low moan. It felt as if he had been beaten up by giants, drowned in a vat of boiling acid, run over by a semi-truck, frozen into a frozen ice statue, and electrocuted by eels. He panted, trying to catch his breath as he felt himself sinking from consciousness.

"Don't fall asleep on me yet American Dragon. I have only summoned you here to tell you here to give you a threat that you will take very dearly to your heart. You have not seen the last of me! I paths will meet more than once again in the near future, and this time I will make sure that you all die. As you can see, I have more power than you have ever imagined, I have just chosen to never inflict it upon you all. That was a mistake. When I return, I will personally kill you and all the other dragons in the world who chose not to serve me."

"No!" Jake murmured, barely audible as he tried unsuccessfully to push himself up into a sitting position. "We won't let you!"

"Oh you won't let me will you? Do you really believe that American Dragon? Look at how weak you are now, and I haven't even barely drained any of my energy, or have you already forgotten the vast power that I have? Would you like another demonstration?

Before Jake had time to object, his body was struck once again by the most agonizing pain that he had ever felt in his life and he passed out cold and his body slumped against the invisible floor of the dark room as the sound of the Dark Dragon laughing manically echoed loudly throughout the room.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Any suggestions are welcomed! I promise that there will be a lot more installments in this series that I am writing. I have got a lot of twist and excitement planed for this story, so I hope that all my readers stay tuned and enjoy! :D
