Jake shook his head. "No this can't be." He almost sobbed.
He scanned the room full of horror and his eyes fell on his to a chair bounded cousin two guards around him. he rushed over to him and took his cousin's jaw in his hand.
"Gregory who did this?"
Gregory looked at him sorrow and pain visible in his eyes. "I'm sorry Jake I didn't know he was going to do this."
Jake stepped back. He felt his chest tighten by the betrayal from his own flesh and blood.
"You?" Jake asked incredulously
"I am sorry Jake, I really am." Gregory said now sobbing.

Chang walked through the bunker and arrived at the door there were several gasps as they saw her but she dismissed them.
"Lao Shi, what happened?" She asked as she looked into the room.
Loa Shi looked at Chang. "My daughter." He said only to sob again.
Chang shot several glares at dragons. "Everyone who has no relationship to councilor Long will leave now." She said viciously.
Most of the dragons who stood watching gulped and disappeared frightened by the former servant of the dark dragon.
The group was now cut down in size. Only Chang, Rose, the Carters, Ace and his team, several guards, Spud and Pandarus remained.
"Commander Ace." They heard Jake call from inside of the room.
Ace rushed inside.
"Take that filth out of here and bring it to a torture room. Use the most painful way to make it suffer. When this monster wishes for death stop and let it heal after that do it again."
Rose cringed at Jake's tone. She had heard his voice when he was angry several times. But this was new, it scared her.
She stepped aside as Ace had someone by the scruff of his neck pulling him out of the room. as the person tried to break free several punches calmed him down.
Jake sighed and closed his eyes. "My own blood." He whispered.
"Your sister is still alive but we wouldn't dare to touch her till you arrived councilor." One of the guards in the room said.
"I understand." Jake whispered sadly. "You did the right thing. I would politely ask for everyone to leave me alone."
"Yes my lord." The guard said as he motioned the other to leave the room. "We are terribly sorry."
Jake just nodded. "Fred Nerk please come in."
"yes. Councilor Long."
"Ready every dragon that can fight. Ask Mortis for the SIDA program. If I am correct he already constructed them, equip the dragons with it. this will not go unanswered."
Fred Nerk nodded and left.
"Arthur"
"Yes, Jake?" Spud said as he entered the room.
"You know how to write portal runes don't you?"
Spud nodded.
"I want you to take Pandarus and dragons that can use magic to draw them in every alley of new York city."
Spud nodded without hesitation. "I am against this war Jake but this is where they have crossed the line. You can count on me."
Jake shook his head. "They crossed the line long ago. Now they have made it personal."
Spud turned and left the room motioning Pandarus to follow him
"Jake?" Rose whispered as she entered the room she walked to him and hugged him. "I'm so sorry."
"It isn't your fault, Rose. Could you wait for me outside I really need to be alone right now and please make sure the others leave."
Rose nodded and stroked his cheek in a comforting manner. "Take all the time you need, okay?"
Jake nodded and Rose closed the door as she left.
Jake now alone in the room let his eyes wandered through it.
His mother still lay in front of the door several holes in her chest. Her eyes were still open. Jake sobbed and ran a hand through his hair as he walked to her and lifted her off the ground. He walked into the living room and placed her next to his father who was on the couch. His neck twisted visibly broken. Bruises all over his face. He stroked his mother's cheek and ruffled his father's hair as he hugged them both and sobbed.
"I love you." He whispered. He used his fingers to close his mother's eyes and got up. He walked to Haley who was pinned up the wall two knifes penetrating the membrane of her wings. His anger flared as he read the texts on her body
Aim for my head next time.
With love Rodriquez.
Was written above her. He let out a wail of agony. He walked to her sister and wrapped his arms around her body. He used one hand to pull out the knifes. He collapsed on the ground cradling his sister in his arms. He focused his Chi and let it flow from him into her. The wounds healed slowly but the scars remained. He stroked her hair and cried into it. the room around him slowly turning into a black void.
Jake heard the sound of claws making contact with glass as he felt a presence behind him. he suddenly felt that his shoulder was squeezed in a comforting manner.
"They call us monsters. But we never do this kind of things to them." The unknown creature said. "I know what it is to lose the people you love, Jacob."
"You can't be here." Jake sobbed. "I've send you to a prison that keeps you there for a thousand years."
"I'm more connected to you than you could ever imagine. You're sorrow has granted my mind to be with you. physically I am still there." The creature lowered himself and stroked Jake's hair.
"We are dragons, Jake. That isn't the only thing that makes us the same. My heart started like this only hundreds of years ago. Give in to it." he placed his claws back on Jake's shoulder as black ooze started to drip down from it.
Jake's heart lingered for the darkness. The comfort it gave him. he looked at the battered face of his sister and his heart pained at the sight.
"Not yet, Erixil" He whispered.
Erixil took his claw of Jake's shoulder and nodded. "It's okay, Jacob. Sooner or later."
Erixil got up and turned. "We will meet again soon. For now farewell."
The darkness started to fade and was replaced by the room again. Jake sighed deeply and got on his feet carrying his sister to the door.
"Rose, please take care of her. I have something to take care of." He said as he handed Haley to Rose. He stroked her hair one last time. "She is the last of my parent I have left."
Rose nodded and did not question him as she walked off escorted by several dragon guards.

Jake walked into the command center.
"I've heard the news. I am sorry that I didn't notice anything." Mortis said sadly.
"Mortis is my suit ready?" Jake said neglecting the apology.
"Yes it is."
"Paint it black and hack into the Television network in new York I have a message for them." Jake said slightly angered.
"One direct link with New York city coming up."
"Not new York city. New York." Jake replied.
Mortis tilted his head in confusion but nodded anyway.

There was a party at the Huntsclan franchise in New York city. Hosted by Rodriquez. In a corner a man with graying hair a maroon suit with several stars on his chest and a cowboy hat sat observing the partying people a grim look on his face.
"Why the long face, David" Eric asked as he wrapped a arm around the man's shoulder. "It's a party live a little."
"You don't get it do you?" David said with an southern accent.
"Get what?"
"What you have done, will cause them to react. The people might believe your little lies. But me being you strategic advisor, know the truth. We don't know what they are capable of and with my experience with earlier warfare. They will react soon." David replied.
"You worry too much. They haven't attacked us all this time why would this time be different."
"You first killed there leaders and killed the family of one of them. That surely will lead to repercussions." He said and raised an eyebrow. "Your little feud with those things will bring us all into danger."
Rodriquez shrugged. "Let them come. The Huntsclan is stronger than ever. Nothing can harm us."
David opened his mouth to say something as a Huntswoman came running to them.
"Better come and watch this."
Rodriquez and David ran after her she turned on a TV and it showed Jacob.
"Listen to me. people of new York. Your beloved Huntsmaster has always spread lies about us. he said we have attacked you." Jake chuckled. "Believe me. after this you will doubt if the things he tells you are true. You never have experienced a attack from us. You will now, your leader made it personal now. Mark my words. New York will fall before tomorrow."
With that the screen went blank.
"Huntsmaster?" The Huntswoman asked scared.
Eric's face was drained from its color. "You were right." He whispered.
"Shit, is that all you are going to say." David exploded. "Huntswoman alert the troops get them ready ASAP. We are about to get attacked."
The Huntswoman nodded and ran off.
"Told you, you made a big mistake. Now new York will burn through your stupidity." David said and walked to a panel and pressed a few buttons sirens starting to wail all through new York.

"Do you hear that?" Danika asked Shaun as they were inside their HQ
"Loud and clear." Shaun replied. "Tell everyone to gather as much goods as they can and leave as far as possible. We're closing shop."
"Why?" Danika asked.
"You know, that is the alarm that indicates we are about to be attacked. How much I would want to help our numbers are small. It is better if we don't stand in their way. Rodriquez must have messed up real bad for them to attack."
Danika nodded and ran off punching the doors of the quarters telling the people to wake up and get out.
End of chapter.
