"We need to talk." Jake repeated as he saw his grandfather didn't react.

"Yes, first tea. You want some?"

Jake nodded.

As his grandfather was busy making the tea. He said. "So you want to talk to me as a councilor or as my grandson?"

Jake chuckled. "What gave it away? The robe or the necklace?"

His grandfather turned to face him.

"Young dragon, being a councilor is a big responsibility." Loa Shi wanted to continue but stopped as Jake held up his hand.

"I know grandfather. I had the best teacher to learn me to be a good leader. I shall not fail you.""

Loa Shi smiled as he took the two cups of tea and gave one to Jake.

"So what do you want to tell me councilor Long" His grandfather said with a slight smile. This one left his face as he saw Jake didn't return it.

"You respect the choices I make, don't you?" Jake said.

"Most of the times, yes. Why?" His grandfather asked.

"Do you think you will respect the choices I make as a councilor?"

"Certainly, I lived my whole live serving the order. Being a councilor myself or live to see one of the family to become a councilor. Is a dream coming true."

"So whatever I am going to tell you now. Will not anger you." Jake said narrowing his eyes.

"I don't know." Loa Shi suspiciously said while taking a sip. "Tell me."

"I reinstated Chang." Jake said.

The tea that was in Loa Shi's mouth now was littered through the entire room. He took a few deep breaths and slowly said.

"Councilor Long can I talk to my grandson for a moment."

"I'm all ears, gramps." Jake replied.

Loa Shi exploded shouting words in Cantonese and for the first time in plain English.

"Do you know what you have done!" His grandfather shouted. "To get her locked up took us almost two months and now you reinstate her without consulting Kulde?"

"Kulde is no longer a councilor."

"What?" Loa Shi asked confused. "Why?"

"He broke the rules, he wasn't capable of making the right choices. He had to retire." Jake seriously said.

Aiya Jake do you know what Chang will try now she is free." His grandfather solemnly said.

"Attack the humans?"

Loa Shi looked at his grandson who had a look of anger on his face.

"Because I wouldn't mind." Jake added.

"Jake that is something you can't do. These people have lives and they are misguided by others."

Jake chuckled in a way that frightened Loa Shi.

"Our brothers and sisters also have lives. Still that doesn't seem to stop them. they called it an attack as you freed me. when they attacked Draco Isle. The told the people we attacked them. I want to show them, what happens if we really attack.""

Jake got out of his seat. "I really hate myself for saying this. But in some ways the dark dragon was right."

Loa Shi hang his head low. "Jake, please as your grandfather I ask you not to do this. There will be innocent lives taken from our side and their side."

Jake sadly looked at his grandfather and kneeled so he was on the same eyelevel.

"Listen, Gramps. I won't attack cities I'm not cold hearted, you know that. There are bases around the world far from civilization that only train Huntsclan. Those will be my targets. No civilian will be harmed. And I am not going to force anyone in obliging to my orders. If they want to they can help if they don't, fine by me."

"Still Jake, This conversation is something I will not forget. And what you told me. I will not tell to the others. But saying such a thing about the dark dragon. I can't accept. I am sorry, but I am no longer your dragon master." Loa Shi said as he adverted his look. "I ask you to leave now."

Jake had tears in his eyes. He expected his grandfather to be mad. But to disown him as his student was not what he expected. He swallowed and got up. Leaving his grandfather not sharing a last word.

XXXX

Jake had arrived at his apartment. He had promised to return to Rose. But at the moment he did not want it. he had to take care of one last thing.

He pulled out his contact module.

"Commander Ace, Meet me at the command center immediately."

"I'll be there in five minutes." Ace replied.

"Understood."

Jake walked into the command center and was greeted by Mortis.

"Greeting Councilor." Mortis smiled. "It seemed the suit wasn't that hardly damaged most of it is armor that is destroyed internal systems just failed because of the shock all of them are back up and running. "

Jake nodded. "Tell me Mortis any info on that head Huntsmaster?"

"You mean Eric Rodriquez?"

Jake nodded again.

"Well, he was almost a Huntsmaster several years ago. His last assignment was to control a base outside the coastline. A team of specialists attacked. Most of them were killed in the attack. Only two of the attackers survived. After that they bombed the place killing everything that was on the island. The attackers were from the US military, they took two prisoners with them. their status is unknown. I would love to tell you more. But I was still in development phase by then. So I could not store everything. I only had several gigabytes of storage space. "

"Understood. Could you call Carter for me I need him too." Jake said.

After several minutes Carter and Ace walked through the door and saw Jake leaning against the holographic table.

"You asked for us?" Ace said.

"Yes, please gentlemen gather around the table."

Ace and Carter did what Jake told them.

"As I was out my suit's gear picked up a conversation between That Huntsmaster and one of the Huntsmen. I heard that Rodriquez is going to speak against the people again telling them that we attacked them." Jake paused to look at both men. "I don't want that to happen. He makes us look like monsters and I believe he is the one that is in charge. He speaks to the people he runs the operations. The president of the United states is a wizard. I have been told. If this is true why would he support every action of Rodriquez. My guess blackmail."

"So?.. Why are you telling this?" Carter asked.

"Our next mission will be the assassination of this lowlife Huntsmaster. I fought the real Huntsmaster a lot of times. He used dirty tricks but he somewhat had a code and lived by it. this Rodriquez is an unguided projectile that heads for the destruction of the world. Myself, both of you and a dragon of your choice commander. Will head to Manhattan tonight. To prepare for the assassination. With a bit of luck and this Rodriquez out of the way. We might end this war and we don't have to go with plan B."

Ace nodded. "What is plan B?"

"I'll tell you when the time is right. Get your gear ready I will join you as soon as possible. Dismissed."

End of chapter.

So, like it? if I continue this way there will be a hell of a lot more chapter than I had anticipated. Well hope you guys still enjoy it.
