"DD and his followers are becoming a pain in the ass." Shaun said as he looked at everyone in the room.
"Don't call him that." Rose said annoyed. "He isn't the dark dragon."
"Sorry, ma'am. But rumors state otherwise. As I was saying Councilor Long and his followers are becoming a pain in the ass. If you look at this map. The concentration of his troops has increased here and here." Shaun said as he showed the places. "Luckily most of these troops are focused on the Huntsclan. He has been avoiding us the last five years. But with so many people on such a small piece of land. It's rather hard to avoid us."
"So what's the plan?" Carter asked as he moved forward in the crowd.
"To be honest, there is no plan. We're already evacuating civilians. But it gets harder by the day."
The door opened and Aurora walked into the room. She looked at Shaun and cleared her throat. "We've got some bad news from our spy."
"Will everyone except for both Carters, Whitman, Spudinskie and Long leave the room."
"What about me?" Someone asked annoyed.
"Fu can stay also."
Everyone who wasn't named left the room, as the last one closed the door. They all turned to Aurora. O'Neal nodded and gave her the word.
"Something bad is going to happen. Our spy listened to a conversation between Ace and Jake. They were talking about bringing back an old friend. He has his theory who this friend might be. But he hopes it isn't the one who he think it is."
"whom does he think it is?" Carter asked.
"He suspects the dark dragon."
Rose started to laugh. "Yeah, sure we sent that idiot into another dimension. He won't come back for at least 975 years."
Rose stopped as Spud started to speak. "I am afraid it is possible. I've heard of it bringing back people from other dimensions. There is a potion strong enough to destroy the barrier between dimensions. If there wasn't a way. How could the temple appear and disappear every thousand years."
Fu now took a note out of his folds. "I wrote down the ingredients our spy listed. If I match them up with today's ingredient." He stopped as he looked at Aurora.
"Oh… Yes, it was a Kryloc."
Fu wrote down the word. And let his eyes roam the quite long list of ingredients. "Uh-oh, Jake's really has done his homework. These are ingredients for a dark portal spell which is powerful enough to not only create a passage way from this dimension into another. But keep it open for like an half an hour. One missing ingredient is the Chi of a dragon."
"Remember Gregory?" Aurora asked.
Fu nodded.
"I believe, he is unwillingly participating in that spell."
All were silent for a moment. Until carter decided to speak up.
"People, get your gear ready we're going to stop him. Shaun can you contact the spy to keep a portal open at Draco so we can pass trough unseen?" Shaun nodded and dashed with Aurora out of the room. "Rest of you get ready, we're going in silent and quick."
"Got it," They all chorused and rushed out of the room.

"Blood from a kryloc." Jake said as he slashed the neck of the chained animal. It's blood slowly dripping into the large cauldron. "Leeches filled with vampire blood." He took them of the plate and smiled as he threw them in.
"Do you really have to name every ingredient you use?" Ace asked standing against a column in the room.
Jake shook his head. "I don't, but it makes it more fun."
"Who said fun? I want to have fun." Chang whined as a little girl.
"Shut up demented woman. Ace get her out of here. She irritates me." Jake shouted.
Ace shook his head as he took Chang by her arm. "Please follow me councilor."
"But I don't want to. I want to watch that mister cook." She whined as Ace pulled her out of the room.
"Finally silence." Jake sighed. But groaned as he heard soft sobs behind him. he turned and looked at his chained cousin. "If you don't shut up, I will staple your mouth shut."
Gregory's eyes widened as Jake turned again. "Grinded bat wings."
This kept going for a few hours. Until Nerk entered the room. "So how far are you?"
Just a few minutes, my friend. And he will return to aide us in our mission."
"Shit I have to stall him. they are on the isle but they need time." Nerk thought. "Jake do you still know what the mission is?"
Jake put down the ingredient and turned his head to Fred. "Destroy the Huntsclan and everyone in our way."
"Wasn't it only the Huntsclan before?"
Jake chuckled as he returned to his ingredients. "You're attempt at stalling me. won't work dragon Nerk."
Nerk tilted his head to the side in mock confusion. He said. "What?" But his mind was screaming.
"You have to be a lot quieter in order to eavesdrop on me. Don't worry I don't care if you're a spy. It might be a downside. But you follow every order I give you. no matter how bloodcurdling or brutal the order is. Tell me how is Rose?"
Fred was dumbfounded. "You knew? How?"
"I have my ways, do you think I'm in dragon form most of the time because I want to? Certainly not but it gives an advantage." Jake chuckled. "So the final ingredient."
He slowly walked towards Gregory and lifted his head. "Don't worry it might sting a little but it won't kill you." Jake said as he moved his hand to the place where Gregory's heart is. "Trust me, after this you can go. Human."
As the last word left Jakes mouth a rather big sting went through Gregory's chest. Seconds later Jake held a small orb in his hand. Gregory had gone limp.
"See, you had all the chance to stop me. But you didn't, you're too loyal and a friend. Friends don't attack friends in the back."
Jake walked to the cauldron and held the orb above it. at that moment Shaun's team burst through the door.
"Too late." Jake shouted. He dropped the orb. As it slowly fell down.
A certain person decided to speak up. "Please, Jake don't,"
He turned and looked into the with sadness filled face of Rose. A feeling of angst past right trough him. he turned and tried to grab the orb. But he was to late as he missed it and it went into the swirling liquid.
He turned and raised his arms. A bolt of magic surrounded the team slowly closing in on them. Rose watched as the magic similar to lighting closed in on them. As it became so small it touched them. Blackness enveloped them as they all felt as if they were falling.
As the group disappeared Jake turned to the cauldron again. It swirled violently and a dull bang came forth out of it. it threw Jake and Fred with their backs against the walls of the room. as the pain of the impact subsided and Jake's vision came back. He saw a immense portal. A deep chuckle filled the room and out of the portal came a black and purple dragon. as he passed through in total. He lowered himself on all fours. Smiling at the thrown back Jacob.
"Thank you Jacob. I Erixil the dark dragon, await your orders." He said as he bowed.
Jake scrambled back on his feet. "Orders will come….soon."
The dark dragon started to chuckle again. Jake first chuckled with him reluctant not long after they both cackled in pure pleasure.
