Chapter 4 The Dragon Girl

Captain Jake's POV

"Oh my lord, An Yu is… A DRAGON?! Run, for your lives!" I yelled as I took Catboy's hand and we ran as fast as we could.

" I know this isn't the best time to tell you guys this, but I accidentally flunked running in high school." Cedric told us.

"Now, it is not the time to talk about the glory days!" Sofia exclaimed.

"Look out!" Izzy said as she pulled Sofia out of the way from Dragon An Yu's tail.

"We gotta calm her down somehow." Ice Cub said.

"Sorry, I don't sing." Catboy said.

"Oh, wow thanks Izzy!" Sofia thanked her.

"You're welcome." Izzy responded.

"Yeah, but anyway, how are we supposed to calm this dragon, An Yu?! I mean she's scary." Cedric complained.

"Quit being a baby." Catboy told him.

" Look, who's talking? Your legs are shaking." I pointed out.

We then heard Dragon An Yu roar and saw her fly into the sky who then began shooting fireballs down at us.

"Oh man, incoming!" Catboy cried out.

"Get to cover!" I told the others.

All of us ran to the pagoda and hid under the roof above the pagoda's front doors, I almost made it only to look back to see Night Ninja was still unconscious and ran over to save them which caused Catboy to panic.

"What are you doing!?" Catboy asked.

"Well, for your information, I can't just leave him there to die." I answered.

"Jake, he's unconscious, remember?" Izzy reminded me.

"Yeah, I know. But if it was you, then I would definitely save your life." I said.

"Aww, my hero!" Izzy answered.

"Just save him!" Robot shouted.

I ran towards Night Ninja and picked him up, but when I was about to head back, Dragon An Yu blasted fire balls blocking my way back as the flames began to rise.

"Oh, this isn't good." I said backing away from the flames.

"Hey Jake since you're out there, do you mind ordering me a smoothie?" Izzy wanted to know.

"This isn't a good time for that." I said

I then saw Dragon An Yu flying around the pagoda from behind, but when Dragon An Yu got halfway around, she began flying around wildly making me confused until I saw two adults on top of her head with one of them having a hook on his left and realized who it was.

"Hook!?" I shouted as I heard Hook screaming from hanging on tight on Dragon An Yu as the other adult was trying to get Dragon An Yu to the ground.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked both adults.

"We'll answer that once we're safe on the ground!" Hook shouted in fright.

"What's the matter Hook? Were you scared to answer my question while hanging?" I exclaimed!

"That's not why I'm hanging!" Hook exclaimed as the other adult managed to steer Dragon An Yu towards the ground as I ran behind a statue carrying Night Ninja over my shoulder.

Once Dragon An Yu landed on the ground, he got down from Dragon An Yu's head and walked over to me and actually hugged me

"I never thought I'd be glad to see you, puny pirate." Hook said.

"Yeah, and I never thought you'd be nice to me for once. Captain Hook, have you been drinking those bad coconuts again?" I asked.

"No, Ever since Red Jessica and I started dating, I began to be nice to everyone ever since read, Jessica and I started dating, I began to be nice to everyone." Captain Hook told me.

"When did that happen?" I asked.

"Hey, could you two talk about what it is later? I have to find out why this creature is like this." the other adult said as she was checking Dragon An Yu to see if she could cure her.

But she didn't get the chance when Dragon An Yu began to glow and turned back to her normal self as the flames disappeared for the others to come out of the pagoda.

As I placed night ninja down on the ground, I walked over to An Yu, knelt down to her level as she started to cry, for some reason.

"Hey, are you OK?" I asked.

"I'm sorry I almost attacked you guys, I don't know what's going on. I thought the dragon curse was gonna be over. I guess it's not over yet." An Yu said as she groaned from feeling something phase out of her back revealing it to be the crystal that turned her into the dragon.

"What be this?" Hook asked as he was about to grab the crystal only to back away when I placed my sword in between him and the crystal.

"Careful Hook, this crystal is too dangerous to touch, it could turn you against us or turn you into something like it did to her." I said as I pointed to An Yu.

As we all turned around we saw the rest of everyone else. Like Izzy, and Catboy along with Sofia, Cedric, Cubby, Ice Cub, Robot, Lys and Nash.

"So we're not the only ones that were sent to this place?" Hook asked.

"Seems like it." the other adult said as Lys and Nash ran over and hugged her by the legs.

"Master Zia, we're so glad you're okay." Lys said.

"So that's who you are." Hook said as he was about to use his hook to grab the crystal only to notice it was gone and screamed getting the others attention about it.

"Where did the Crystal go?" Hook wanted to know as everyone was looking at him alarmed.

They then heard laughing and looked up to see Taborr had grabbed the crystal with his grappling hook as his ship started to fly away.

"Until next time." Taborr said, reeling the crystal into his hand and walking into his ship as the cargo door closed for the ship to teleport away from Tarabiscoville.

"I can't believe I failed to protect Mystery Mountain." An Yu said standing up onto her feet.

"Wait, what happened?" Night ninja wanted to know as he regained consciousness.

"Well, good morning Night Ninja, how was your long nap? Hahaha." I started to laugh as Catboy and Izzy both stomped on my foot.

"I was asleep? Why would I... oh that stupid crystal! I should've listened to my Ninjalinos!" Night Ninja said, stomping in rage.

"Ninjawhat?" Nash asked.

"Yo, kitty boy, who are these other people, and why does the dragon girl look upset and down?" Night Ninja wanted to know.

"To be honest with you, I don't know who the others are." Catboy said.

"Answer the question...kitty boy!" Night Ninja said.

"Already did, Night Ninja." Catboy exclaimed.

"Ugh, you pirate girl, who are you?" Night Ninja asked.

"I don't even know who I am." Izzy lied.'

"Don't you lie to me, I've had a bad night when I found that crystal!" Night Ninja shouted, about to throw a sticky splat at her only for me to block it with my sword.

"Batter up, Night ninja freak!" I said as I swung the sticky splat straight at night Ninja.

Night Ninja ducked from it and took out another sticky splat ready to throw it only to hear something ring from Catboy.

"Oops, hang on." Catboy said, taking out some sort of device and answering it with a screen on it showing a girl in a red owl suit.

"Catboy, are you there? Can you hear me?" the owl girl asked as the screen was fading a bit.

"Hello, Owlette? Can you hear me? HELLO?!" Catboy screamed as the screen faded to black and turned off.

"Who was that?" Sofia asked.

"A very close friend of mine, Princes." Catboy told her.

Just then, the device began to show static until the screen showed Grim on it laughing.

"Grim Buccaneer!?" I asked, wondering how he contacted Catboy's device.

"That's right, Ivy has made a mighty ship that we can use to travel anywhere we want." Grim said.

"Ivy!? How can that be? I thought she was gone for good?" Cedric asked.

Grim's POV

"Apparently not sorcerer, Princess Ivy, Pharaoh Boy, Taborr and I are teaming up to destroy all of you, including that worthless Princess." I said.

"You're not gonna get away with this, Grim." Jake said, pointing his sword at the screen of Catboy's device.

"Did Grim just call me a worthless Princess?" Sofia asked, poking in from the side of the screen.

"I'd like to continue our chat, but I have a Space Q to take control of." I said, turning off communications with Catboy's device before any of them could speak as I looked forward in my tremendous ship watching the lasers hit PJ Space Q.
