This is my unique twist on Once Upon A Time, if it coexsisted with the World of American Dragon: Jake Long, The story will mostly be told through the eyes of My OC Drake Blazes, a young Dragon with a mysterious past in training, who meets, and befriends Henry, this all happens. This all happens during the first curse. Also I do not own Once Upon a Time or, American Dragon: Jake Long, or even some OC's. And I Absitively posolutely don't own Dodger, though to be honest I wish I owned him, he's the coolest.

Chapter 3: Operation Basilisk

Drake's POV

The next morning after Emma Swan decides to stay in Storybrooke, I was getting dressed for school, while Dodger was sleeping in a few minutes. That's when I heard the old crone stomping up the stairs. " The missing pages where are they?" She asked Henry, more like demanded.

" An old book, with missing pages, What do you care?" He asked.

" He's right Regina!" I added. " You're getting all bent out of shape over nothing."

" Smart kid!" Dodger finished.

" I'll deal with you two later!" She called. " I care because you think I'm some Evil Queen, and that hurts me, Henry." She said. " I'm your mother."

" No your not." Henry retorted.

"Well then who is?" She demanded." That woman you brought here? I don't like what she, and this book are doing to you, thankfully She's no longer an issue." Henry went silent. " What?" She asked, that's when we hear the town clock chime.

" That's what, Regina." I said with a smirk while walking by Henry's room, with my backpack, and lunchbox." That's the sound of your curse breaking, soon it'll be broken, and I will see to it that it does." I added. " Come on Henry, we'll be late for school, I'll walk you." I added. " Come on Dodger."

" That was close." I said, glad that I had made both Henry's, and My lunch the night before, and packing them before exiting the house. As we made our way to Granny's I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I spun around ready to punch the freak's lights out, and when I realized who it was I wished I had followed through.

The man holding my arm was the only other person apart from Regina, and now Henry who knew, Dad's, Dodger, and My secret." What do you want Gold?!" I snapped.

" Drake your eyes are glowing again." Henry said. Yeah my eyes do tend to glow white when I'm angry enough, strangely enough, My Strength, and Stamina increase, and in the day time my scales have an extra level of durability.

" As much as I know you hate me, I'm actually here to give you something." He said holding out a file.

" What's this?" I asked.

" Your birth records, your real ones. You ever wonder why your eyes glow white, you get stronger, and your stamina is hieghtened when you get angry, why scales become so much more durable during the day, or why you can fold your wings around or on shoulders like a cape a feat not seen in dragons?" He asked. " These are the only way you can get the answers."

" Oh shut up Gold." I snapped. " I know what you're trying to do."

" Really, amuse me, Boy." He said in an amused tone. "What do you think I'm trying to do?"

" You're giving them to me so that someday I will have to repay the favor." I said. " Well it won't work." I turned and walked away with Henry and Dodger to the Diner.

" One of these days you will need my help Boy!" He vowed." I will be waiting."

" SHUT UP OLD FART!" I shouted.

" Pleasant Morning isn't it?" I commented.

" Yeah, real ray of sunshine." Henry replied.

" Yeah nuttin' like a good argument to start the day, and we still haven't had breakfast." Was Dodger's response.

Graham's POV

As I sat drinking my coffee, and eating my breakfast, I noticed, a woman walk into Granny' she had dark blue hair, brown eyes, and copper skin. She was also wearing a pair of black boots, light blue jeans, a black shirt, and a red leather jacket.

" Hello, Ma'am." I said. " What might I ask are you doing in Storybrooke?"

" Detective Elisa Maza." She said. Showing me her badge. " Second Class, NYPD, I'm looking for a Drake Luong." She said showing me a picture of a four year old Drake.

" Why?" I asked," Did he do something wrong?"

" No, I have his birth records." She said pulling a file out of her bag, as Ruby brought her, a cup of coffee. " His real ones." She said. I knew Regina will want them. " I'm a close friend to his biological father and he wants Drake to know his father thinks of him often, and still loves him." She said. " Can I trust you to give it to him?"

" Yeah, I'll see to it." I said, as she left. I intended to give the file to Regina instead when I got the chance.

Drake's POV

As soon as we approach Granny's a woman steps out, and walks past me. I feel a weird vibe from her. " Excuse me, have we met before?" I asked.

" No, but I do know your father." She said. " I'm Detective Elisa Maza, Second Class, NYPD." She added showing me her badge.

" Wait my father, present tense?" I asked. " No Detective Maza, My Dad died, about a month ago, Draco Blazes."

" Not really that was a cover story, your real name is Drake Brooklyn Luong." She explained. Giving me a number. " Only dial, or text at night." " Thank you Detective Maza." I said.

As I walked in after Henry, and found him sitting down to join him. That's when I remembered. " Sheriff did Detective Maza leave a file with you containing My birth records?" I asked, as Henry saved us a booth, right next to the one right next to his, and placed an order from Ruby.

" Yes, But your mother gets to see them first to decide if your ready." I was angry at first, but then calmed down. I may like Graham, he's a good guy but the fact that he just rolls right over for Regina, it's disgusting.

Ruby had already brought my coffee to Henry and my booth, when Emma came down from the guest rooms above, Ruby brought her a cup hot chocolate, and after a few words, Emma walked over to Graham. " Hey look thanks for the Hot Chocolate, but I don't want any gifts from you." She told him. " How did you know I like cinnamon in my hot chocolate?"

" Because that's how I like my hot chocolate." Henry said. " I was the one who paid for your cup."

" And if that's how the two of you like your hot chocolate, that's genetics right there." I added. " Scientific research shows that most people like their food or beverages a certain way based on how their parents like it, namely you like your hot chocolate with cinnamon and so does Henry reason being he inherited it from you." I said.

" Will you walk with us to school please?" Henry asked Emma.

" So, what's the deal with you and your mom?" Emma asked. " It's not about us, it's about her curse." Henry explained. " We have to break it. Luckily, I have a plan. Step one – identification. I call it Operation Cobra."

" Cobra?" Emma said in confusion " That has nothing to do with fairy tales."

" Not unless you count arabian fairytales." I said.

" Exactly." Henry said. " It's a code name to throw the Queen off the trail."

" So everyone here is a fairytale?" Emma asked. " But they just don't know it."

" Everyone but Henry, and I." I confirmed.

" That's the Curse, time's been frozen." Henry explained. " Until you came along." He added, as Emma pulled an Apple from her pocket, which I identified as a Honeycrisp, the same kind Regina grows. (Not to mention decorates the house with).

" Freeze." I said. Stopping Emma immediately. " Emma where did that come from?"

" Your mom gave it to me." She answered.

" Gimme that." I said. snatching it out of her hand, and tossing. " First rule of Storybrooke don't eat Regina's apples." I said tossing over my shoulder, as soon as her back was turned I shot a pinpoint flame from my finger at the Apple causing it to explode in a burst of flame.

" What was that?" Emma asked.

" Teenagers always playing with Fireworks." I said.

" Okay, So what about their pasts?" Emma asked.

" They don't know." Henry went on. " It's a haze to them, ask anyone anything, and they won't remember, you'll see."

" So for decades, everyone has been walking around in a haze, not aging with screwed up memories, in a cursed town that kept them oblivious." Emma said trying to put it all together.

" I knew you'd get." Henry said hopefully.

" We got a winner little bro." I said.

" That's why we need you." Henry went on. " Your the only one who can stop the curse."

" Because I'm the daughter of Snow White, and Prince Charming." She confirmed.

" Yes, and right now we have the advantage." Henry said. " My mom doesn't know that, I took out the end, The part with you in it." He said, reaching into his backpack and taking out the missing pages, and giving them to her.

" Ah kid...!"

" I know the hero never believes at first." Henry reasoned. " If they did it wouldn't be a very good story. If you need proof take them, read them, but whatever you do don't let her get them." He advised. " They're dangerous if she finds out who you are it would be bad."

" Hey Henry we're almost to your school." I said. " I got to go." Henry said. " But I'll find you later and we can get started. I knew you'd believe me!"

" I never said I did." Emma stated. " Why else would you be here?" Henry pointed out.

" He's right!" I confirmed.

Then he reached into his backpack again, this time brining out the file Detective Maza left Graham, which contained my real birth records. " Henry, you stole them?" I asked as I accepted them.

" I did it because you're my brother." He said. " And you deserve to know the truth."

" Ah thanks little bro." I said wrapping him in a hug, that he returned.

" Good morning Drake." Miss Blanchard said. " Henry class will begin soon."

" See you after school little bro." I said as I left.

As I headed to school, Emma caught up to me. " So your telling me you believe him?" She asked. " Shouldn't you be trying to steer him out of that stuff?" She asked.

" Well I believe Storybrooke has it's mysteries, and it' secrets." I lied, being careful of her quote on quote superpower. " But who knows, maybe the stories in Henry's book might hold some kind of clues." I said, as I headed into the is while She headed off in the direction of Dr. Hopper's office. But...

" Hey, Drake!" She said, to which I turned around. " Henry really is lucky to have a brother like you, thank you for being there for him."

" Your welcome." I said, turning to go into the school building. I was really beginning to like Emma.

During my break, and free period, I concealed my records in my binder, in my backpack, after that I put together some fake ones. (And now you know where Henry gets it from.) after that I went to my next class were I saw Claire. " Hey Claire." I said. "Still on for that date?" I asked.

" Sure am." She said, as we began science class, what I love about science is it really helps me come with new ways to apply my powers.

After that was Advanced Lit. Our assignment to come up with a story of any genre. I had been working hard on a story, about a pair of brothers who learn that fairytales are real, and work to uncover the mystery. (Yes our story.) I had just added another chapter.

" This is quite impressive Mr. Mills, where do you find the inspiration for your stories?" Mr. Bakora asked.

" Sometimes Inspiration just stares at me in the face." I said, only to receive a small tap on the head with a ruler. (Any clues?)

After school, I had just stepped out of the building when I noticed Graham, Driving by with Emma in the backseat. " What?" I wondered, I was halfway to the police station. A car pulled up right next to me.

" Need a lift?" Miss Blanchard asked, from the driver' seat, Henry was riding shotgun. " Yes please." I said getting in back with Dodger.

" So what happened?" I asked. " Mom's been arrested." Henry replied. " Duh." I said. Rolling my eyes, as I was petting Dodger. " I just saw her in Graham's cruiser go by, what's her crime?" I asked

" Regina said, she was a con woman trying to take advantage us." Henry answered. " Figures the old hag would try something like that." I said. " She told me that Mom stole my files from Dr. Hopper."

" That sick, disgusting, witch."

" Drake, you shouldn't talk that way about your mother." Mary Margaret said.

" A shotty, failure at a drunk driver death roose, and afew fancy government legalized papers, doesn't make Regina my mother." I explained." The way I see it, I just live there, and My only reason for staying, and enduring it all is for Henry." Henry, and I fist bumped. We soon arrived at the Police Station.

" HEY!" Henry shouted as soon as we got in.

" Henry, Drake what are you doing here?" Graham asked.

" Clearing things up." I said.

" Regina told Henry what happened." Mary Margaret explained.

" Of course she did. Henry, I don't know what she said-." Emma began.

But I cut her off to talk severely to Graham. " And you just believe Regina that Emma really did that?!" I said in a disappointed tone. " It's so like you to just lie down and roll over for her!" I said.

" Hey, don't talk to me about-." He began.

" I'm not done!" I snapped. " Your job is to arrest the real culprit, not follow some false claim!" I added.

" Pretty high, and mighty coming from someone who just swiped what he shouldn't!" Graham put in.

" I didn't steal my birth records, you must have lost or left them somewhere, and besides even if I did steal them back they're my birth records and by right mine to steal!"

" Emma, You're a genius!" Henry said. " What?" Emma asked perplexed. " I know what you were up to." Henry said. " You were gathering intel for Operation Cobra."

" I'm sorry. I'm a bit lost." Graham said.

" All in time, Sheriff." I said. " Also, Mary Margaret's here to pay for Emma's bail."

" You are?" Emma asked. "Why?"

" I, uh, trust you." Mary Margaret said.

Emma smiled trumphantly " Well, if you can uncuff me, I have something to do." She said to Graham.

" Just remember what I said Graham." I added before following her. " You need to decide what's more important, doing your job the right way, or doing what you've been bullied into doing it?" I said. I walked up to Emma, as soon as I was out of the building, I handed her a chainsaw. " Here you might need this."

" Thanks kid." She said.

" Give her Tartarus."

" Drake!" I turned around to see Henry, and Dodger coming.

" Hey bro." I said.

" Drake, I've been thinking about the curse, and You and I we have experience with magic, We could ask around, for means to help further weaken it's hold on Storybrooke. So even though Emma is the Savior, we can go behind the sceens, help her break the curse, and give everyone their Happy Endings back."

" Right but we need a codename." I said. " Seeing as it goes into Operation Cobra, but deals with the more magical aspect of it we need a codename that associates with Magic, but also implies involvement with Cobra." I said. " I think I got it, Operation Basilisk."

" Like the snake from Harry Potter?" Henry asked.

" Oh they're real kid." Dodger said. " Real venomous, and real deadly, just like the Cobra only more powerful."

" Okay, Operation Basilisk it is." Henry said.

We headed for the address I had been given by the Worldwide Dragon Council earlier that morning. Supposedly this is where my new Dragon Master lives. As soon as we got there the house was already decked out in Dragon Decor, as soon as I knocked on the door, a large man with a well built physique opened. He had long blond messy hair pulled back in a ponytail, a five o'clock shadow, with brown eyes, and fair skin. He was wearing a black shirt, brown pants, and leather boots. " Are you Bowen Knight?" I asked.

" Aye." He said. He had a gruff voice with a Scottish hint.

" I'm Drake Bl-Luong-Mills." I said. " Your Dragon Apprentice."

" Ah, Drake, please come in don't mind, the mess I'm just getting settled in." He said.

" Thank you Mr. Knight."

" Call me Bowen." He said. " And who are these?" He asked noticing Henry, and Dodger.

" Oh these are Dodger my Animal Guardian, and my younger brother Henry, He knows about me, we can trust him."

As we stepped inside, I looked around his decor was amazing. " Bowen isn't this Castle Wyvern?" I asked coming across a painting of a castle, on cliff.

" Aye it is." Bowen answered.

" What's Castle Wyvern?" Henry asked.

" Castle Wyvern was constructed sometime in the late 900's, back then Dragons weren't alone in there quest to protect, they fought along side features called Gargoyles." I explained.

" Gargoyles?"Henry asked.

" Yeah, Castle Wyvern was famous for them." I explained. " but then all that changed, back in 994 AD, a Viking named Hakon." I explained.

" You know your history Drake. Hot Chocolate?" He asked. " The Council said you were partial to it."

" Yes please, Henry likes cinnamon in his." I said.

" So how did they get smashed?" Henry asked as Bowen came in with a tray of Hot Chocolate.

" Betrayal." He answered severely, picking up his own mug of Hot Chocolate." See when Magic was more public then it is now, Humans only had superstition, and the sword, and feared us, and the human residents of Castle Wyvern were no different." He added.

" Indeed, only the Captian of the Guard respected them." Said a voice from the Kitchen, as a large bangal tiger walked in on his hind legs with two cups of tea, around his neck hung a pendent. " Sorry, I didn't introduce myself, I'm Raze, Bowen's Animal Guardian." He added handing a cup to Dodger.

" It's alright Raze." Bowen assured. " But because everyone else didn't respect them, The Captain sabotaged the archer's bows, and betrayed the residents to Hakon's Vikings..."

" ...After his men captured the humans, Hakon used his mace and smashed the Gargoyles." I finished.

" Now Drake we'll continue your training tomorrow." Bowen informed.

" Could I watch?" Henry asked.

" That would be fine." He said.

" so have you applied for a job?" I asked.

" Yes Mythology Professor, at the local High School."

Henry, Dodger and I got home in time to hear Emma say to Regina. " How can I? The poor kid can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality and it's only getting worse. It's crazy."

" You think I'm crazy?!" Henry shouted as a tear streamed from his eye.

" Henry…" Emma began but Henry was already out of the room. Dodger, and I followed him to his room where he was on his bed crying.

" Henry, I'm sorry you heard that." I said, putting a hand on his shoulder. " I know I'm not the savior, but I want to do what I can to help you." Henry embraced me, as I returned his hug. " I love you so much little bro, and nothing matters more to me then you."

" I'm here for you too kid." Dodger added. " No matter what we will always be here for you." He finished, as Henry pulled him into the hug. That's when Regina walked in.

" Drake, I'm going to go welcome the new Mythology Teacher, at your school." She said. " So can you take Henry to dinner, and his appointment?"

" Of course. Bringing him a basket of apples?" I asked.

" Sure am. By the way, something fell on my car this morning, it looked an awful lot like burnt applesauce." She said suspiciously.

" Must have been a bird with one one nasty case of the runs." I said. As soon as she left I shot Bowen a text warning him not to eat any of Regina's apples. We went to dinner at Granny's, and after that Dodger, and I walked him to Dr. Hopper's office.

Once Dodger, and I were alone in the lobby, I got a thanks via text from Bowen. I opened the file with my birth records. " Wait, what?" I said in shock when I saw my parents. Under mother it read Saphira Luong (Dragon), but under father it read-. Suddenly Emma burst in. " YOU STOP RIGHT THERE!" I shouted, getting in front of her. " If you think I'm going to let you hurt my brother anymore I will end you!" I promised, sternly.

" I'm not here to do that." She said. " Drake listen, what you heard, Regina set me up." She explained." I said somethings I shouldn't have, and I want to apologize, and Drake, I'm sorry for hurting your brother." She finished. " I know how much he means to you, and I'm sorry."

" I forgive you." I said. " I'll ask Dr. Hopper." I said, gathering my records, and putting them away.

"...You know, that umbrella kind of is my good luck charm." Dr. Hopper was saying. " Is that why you think I'm Jiminy Cricket?"

" I don't think you're anyone." Henry replied. Pongo was on the couch with him, but got up and ran to greet me.

" Hey Pongo." I said petting him. "Henry? Sorry Dr. Hopper, I wouldn't have barged in if it wasn't important." I said coming in." Pongo, easy buddy!" I said, as he tried to give me puppy kisses.

" It's alright Drake, what is it?" Dr. Hopper assured me. " What do you have to say?"

" Henry someone wants to see you, and she has something to tell you." I said. Opening the door, and letting her in.

" Miss Swan!" Dr. Hopper said in fear. " Look, I can explain. The Mayor forced me to-"

" I know. Don't worry about it. I get it." She said, then turning back to Henry. " Henry, I'm sorry."

" I don't want to talk to you." Henry said disappointedly.

" Then don't, just listen to what she has to say." I said.

" Miss Swan, if she knew you were here-" Dr. Hopper began.

" To hell with her." Emma cut off. " Henry, there is one simple reason I stayed here. You. I wanted to get to know you."

" You think I'm crazy." Henry said.

" No, I think the curse is crazy. And it is." Emma explained. "But, that doesn't mean that it isn't true. It is a lot to ask anyone to believe in, but there are a lot of crazy things in this world. So what do I know. Maybe it is true."

" But you told my mom."

" What she needed to hear. What I do know, is that if the curse is real, the only way to break it is by tricking the Evil Queen into thinking that we are non-believers." She explained to him. " Cause that way, she's not on to us. Isn't that what Operation Cobra was all about? Throwing her off the trail?"

" Brilliant!" Henry said perking up.

" I've read the pages and, Henry, you are right." She said. " They are dangerous. There is only one way to make sure that see never sees them." Emma added throwing the pages into the fireplace. " Now we have the advantage."

" I knew you were here to help us." Henry said hugging her.

" That's right, kid. I am." She assured him. "And nothing, not even a curse, is going to stop that."

" And you know I always got your back little bro." I said, as he and I fist bumped. We soon left Dr. Hopper's office, and headed for home as soon as we got there.

" Drake." Emma said. " Take good care of Henry, He's going to need you now more then ever."

" I will Emma, that's a promise." I said. As she smiled, and walked away.

As soon as we got to my room, I pulled out my birth records, and we looked. Underneath my Dad's name was a Phone Number. I looked at Henry, and Dodger. " Go ahead, Drake." I dailed it into my cellphone.

" Hello?" someone said on the other end.

" Hello, Dad? It's me, Drake." I said.

" Drake, Son is that really you?" He said on the other end. A tear slid down my cheek.

" Dad." I said.

Third person POV

Regina was tending to her Apple tree, and picking up the apples from when Emma took Drake's chainsaw, when Mr. Gold appeared. " What a mess." He said.

" Not for long." Regina confirmed. " What could I do for you, Mr. Gold?"

" I was just in the neighbourhood. Thought I'd pop by." He said casually. " Lovely to see you in such high spirits."

" Well, it's been a good day. I just rid the town of an unwanted nuisance." She said triumphantly.

" Emma Swan. Really?" Gold asked.

" Yes. I imagine she's half way to Boston by now."

" Oh, I wouldn't bet on that." He said." I just seen her strolling down the main street with your boys. Thick as thieves, they looked."

" What?"

" Perhaps you should have come to me. If Miss Swan is a problem you can't fix, I'm only too happy to help." He offered. " For a price, of course."

" I'm not in the business of making deals with you anymore." She said.

" To which deal are you referring?"

" You know what deal."

" Oh, right. Yeah." He said in fake realization. " The boys I procured for you. Henry. Did I ever tell you what a lovely name that was? However did you pick it?" He asked. " Also about your other boy, I have his real birth records, If you want to know more about him."

" Did you want her to come to town?" Regina asked." You wanted all this to happen, didn't you? Your finding Henry wasn't an accident, was it?"

" Whatever do you mean?" Gold asked.

" Where did you get Henry? Who are Drake's biological parents?" She demanded. " Do you know something?"

" I have no idea what you're implying."

" I think you do." She insisted " Who is this woman, his mother, this…Emma Swan?"

" I would say you think you know exactly who she is." He said. " I really must be going." Mr. Gold was on his way out but Regina cut him off.

" Tell me what you know about her." She demanded.

" I'm not going to answer you, dear." He told her. " So I suggest you excuse me. Please."

As Gold left Regina was shocked, and stared at him in sudden realization.

MANHATTAN.

Detective Maza had just gotten home to her apartment and was putting some catfood in Cagney's bowl, when a window opened. Standing there was a young gargoyle.

He had red skin, black eyes, and a wild mane of long, white hair. He also has two horns sticking out of his forehead, and his face resembles that of a pterosaur much like Drake's. He was wearing a dark blue loincloth held up by a black belt. " Elisa did you, deliver the records?" The Gargoyle asked.

" Yes Brooklyn, he had them right now." She assured him.

" But how..." Brooklyn was cut off by the sound of his cellphone that Elisa gave him going off. " Hello?" He said." Hello, Dad? It's me, Drake." Said the voice on the other end. " Drake, Son is that really you?" Brooklyn asked as a tear slid down my cheek. " Dad." Drake responded. " It is me."
