OOC: Ok sorry its been a while since I last updated the story but now I have more time to finally at least finish up this story. It will end up being a bit shorter than originally planned but the third one in the series will be much longer and hopefully finish up this planned trilogy. Short chapter but a lot of stuff happens in this one huge conversation scene.

Lao Shi Electronics, Manhatten

Jake, Jesse, and the rest of the team spent the next few days reading the book they were able to retrieve from Pandarus's penthouse suite and John began to realize what was being planned. "OK this book talks about a Daemon that the Ancient Dragons of my time defeated a long time ago and this guy is the original one that made the Dark Dragon evil. It says he was eventually defeated in his own lair inside a volcano on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, those islands are now known as the islands of Hawaii."

"So what you are saying is that there is a Daemon buried in a volcano in Hawaii and that Pandarus plans to release it?"

"Wrong!" said a voice from behind them. Pandarus had entered the shop through the front door. "I actually plan on stopping someone else from releasing it."

Jesse looked at him with a very angry look. "If I were you I would start explaining now!"

"Chang approached me a while after you turned everyone into Dragons. She was the one who freed me from prison and in exchange she wanted me to help her retrieve artifacts for some plan of hers to take over the world. I admit that at first I did help her but once I found the book on Ancient Dragon history I found out what she was really planning and knew that I couldn't let her release that Daemon. I was about to come to you guys anyways when I found out about you breaking into my home. If this Daemon is released it will destroy everything and although you might not believe me you have to believe that I have changed since the last time we faced each other."

"You are right." Jesse said. "I don't believe you. You have never given us any reason to ever believe you. Heck so far all of your plans have been about you trying to take over the world. Why would this one really be any different?"

"Would it change your mind if I said Chang has your grandfather captive and that he is still alive."

Jake then pushed him up against the wall and held him by his throat. "If you know anything about where our grandfather is you better tell us right now or I will tear your throat out."

Jesse put his hand on Jake's shoulder. "As much as I would want to actually see you do that he needs to be alive in order to tell us Jake." He looked over at Pandarus as Jake let go of him. "So where is he?!"

"Chang plans to use him as a sacrifice to awake the Daemon and bring him back to this dimension."

"When did you first learn this information?!"

"Earlier today when her and her goons raided my home at the top of the tower. They ransacked the place and took all of the artifacts and then she told me her plan before throwing me out the window but luckily since we are all dragons now I was able to fly away safely after regaining control of my body."

"Now why did she do that? Guess she really is ready to betray anyone that works for her at any time."

"Actually it was when I told her I was not going through with her original plan. I tried to stop her myself but failed."

"Yea good job with that. Now she has all the things she needs in order to bring back the Daemon. Pandarus where is the place the ritual needs to take place in order for Chang to release the Daemon?"

"It is inside a dormant volcano on the island of Oahu. Her forces are strong and even all of us combined we wont be enough to stop her."

"Oh I wouldn't say that." They all looked behind them to see a familiar looking purple dragon about the same age as Jake and Jesse. There was only one person it could be with her voice and Jake said the name before anyone else. "Rose?! How did you...? When did you...?"

"Surprised to see me Jake? My family moved back to New York shortly after everyone changed into Dragons. Your father still wanted me to keep my distance from you for the time being so you wouldn't be distracted but once he figured out what was going on he called me and asked if I was able to help."

Jake then looked at his father with a dirty look but he was calm and answered the question he knew Jake would ask. "I knew she was here Jake but I couldn't let her distract you when there is so much at stake here."

"And so you choose now to bring her here into all of this?" Jesse asked.

"Once we figured out what Chang was planning I knew we would need her help in order to defeat Chang and since she is still a trained dragon slayer she seemed perfect for the mission. That and the fact she has been secretly working for me and the Dragon Council since The Change but I explain that later. Bottom line is that we need her if we are going to defeat Chang and if we are going to do that we need to get moving right now."

OOC: Promo for next chapter

Rose is back just when Jake and the others need her the most.

Rose: "It is my job to help you defeat her once and for all Jake. I wasn't there for the Battle of Central Park but I am here now."

But in things are not always what they seem.

Jesse: "I honestly don't trust him either but right now we don't really have a choice but to believe what he says."

Will they be able to trust Pandarus. Or does he really have something else up his sleeves?

Jesse: "What is it you are really planning? What is really going on?"

Pandarus: "The true beginning of a new era for the people of both the mortal world and the magical world."

This is all still subject to change. But please review and await my next chapter which I will hopefully upload within the next week or so.
