Carter groaned and pushed Fu off him. He got on his feet and wiped the dust of his pants. "I'm getting too old for this shit." He mumbled to himself. "Where are we?" He looked at his surroundings. Street's devoid of life. Weed growing between the cracks in concrete. A broken green statue at the horizon.

"That answers my question." He walked to Shaun and shook him. "Get up." He shouted, He repeated it with the others.

All of them were silent. Carter had called for evac. He and Shaun were separated from the group discussing what would happen next.

"I can't believe Jake could do such a thing." Haley whispered sadly.

"God knows what the dark dragon will do." Fu sighed.

"Guys, don't be like that. Jake is just a little." Rose paused a moment searching for the right words.

"Screwed up?" spud finished for her.

"Not my exact choice of words but, yes."

"He's losing it, Rose. Nothing we can do." Spud lowered his head as a signal this talk was over.

"There still is good in him. Or else he wouldn't even have considered sending us somewhere else." She snapped.

"He only send us back because of you."

"He didn't." Rose hissed.

"Don't play dumb kid. You heard what he said. 'you're too late.' If you had not decided to speak. We probably served as a welcome meal for the dark dragon." Fu broke into the conversation. "He is losing it. but he won't stop loving you."

Rose looked shocked. "Fu, you know Jake. He wouldn't hurt you, me or anyone else."

"Correction, Rose I thought I knew him. considering the fact he blew up new York. Makes me wonder if he wouldn't hurt me or you."

Rose was at a loss of words. She sat down and pulled her knees to her chest. Thinking about Jake.

"Okay, people. Our evac is going to be here any minute now. When it arrives Shaun will ask for a meeting with all country leaders. We will see what happens from there."

The group nodded and waited in silence for the evac.

The dark dragon stretched his wings. "It's good to be free. Tell me Jacob, how did you get like this? Offering you're nephews Chi to get me back. Or another question how in heavens name, did you know what to use?"

"Thank your servant Chang for that. She is the one who gave me the spell book. She probably won't remember you though." Jake said and turned to leave the dark dragon following closely behind.

"What do you mean?" The dark dragon asked surprised.

"She's getting more senile by the day."

"Sorry to hear that." The dark dragon chuckled. "She once told me that was her biggest fear. She rather died an agonizing death than to grow old."

"Atticus my long lost friend." The dark dragon smiled and opened his arms as Ace came walking at them.

"Erixil," Ace said with a small nod as he took the dragons claw. "Long time no see."

"Indeed. Still serving the council, I presume?"

"Cut the chatter and follow me." Jake hissed. "Ace get Nerk we're planning something and he is also needed."

Ace nodded and left to get Fred.

"You have trained him well." The dark dragon chuckled.

Jake ignored him as they walked to the command center.

The group was back at the main base again. They all had showered and cleaned their weapons. Shaun was in a meeting with the world leaders. This meeting was already taking several hours. The rest waited in the command center. Both anxious and bored.

"Which card?" Fu asked Spud again after numerous times.

"Spades four." Spud said bored as he leaned on the desk.

"Right, again? Kid are you a oracle or a wizard sheesh."

"Fu could you stop the nonsense please?" Haley asked irritated.

"Sorry miss Sunshine if I am the only one who tries to enjoy himself during the wait." Fu snapped back. He cowered as Haley let out a low growl.

Another fifteen minutes and Shaun came walking into the command center. He looked exhausted.

"What's the news?" Carter asked getting out of his chair.

"coffee first questions later." Shaun said as he sat down. a brown folder in his hand. After a cup of coffee he started to explain.

"Sorry guys, the country leaders. Are persistent that project overthrow is going to be initiated against both Huntsclan and the separated magical creatures. Even the magical councilors present supported the plan there is nothing I can do."

"What is Overthrow?" Haley asked.

"Very simple gather all resources and people we have and attack with raw power and massive numbers."

"What if it fails?" Rose asked.

"If it fails?" Shaun chuckled. "We're fucked."

A silence spread in the room.

"When?" Carter asked.

"We have a week to ready everything. I already have a strategy. Use all boats and carriers we have to attack Draco isle. Use the rest we have to attack both Huntsclan as Long's forces."

Fred felt uncomfortable. Jake knew he was the spy. But he didn't show any hospitality towards him. he was sweating as a fat dude running a marathon. This didn't go unnoticed by both Erixil and Ace.

"Nervous, young one?" The dark dragon asked.

"Nervous? Why would I be nervous." Fred hurriedly said. as he tugged at the collar of his shirt.

Erixil wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jake.

"He's the one, you caught as you aimed for me the time in the volcano. You can't blame him. I and my grandfather are the only ones who survived in a battle against you. you're quite notorious in the magical world. But that is old news."

The dark dragon smiled as he placed a hand on Nerk's shoulder. Who flinched.

"Don't fear me. we're on the same side now."

Fred nodded quickly and shot a glance at Jake who was busy on the holo-table.

"Gentlemen. I have found the main bunker of the Huntsclan." He stopped as someone cleared his throat. "Pardon me, Mortis has found the main bunker of the Huntsclan. At the moment only one person has priority to me. which means. The four of us will go in. I want Rodriquez for myself and I want to kill him with my claws. Not from a thousand feet with a sniper rifle. I want to see the life drain from his eyes as my claws puncture his neck."

"Aaah… Vengeance… Such a powerful motivator. What about the rest?" The dark dragon sighed dreamingly.

"Dispose of them as you see fit." Jake answered. "Mortis can you create an armor for Erixil?"

"Don't worry Jacob. I don't need armor. I can see my future and I don't need one." The dark dragon said a sad smile on his face unnoticed by the others.

"Suit yourself…Dismissed."
