Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of 'The American Dragons: Jake and Kris Long!'. I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OCs, as the OCs Shang-Chi, Noire, Dromos, and Mei Long belong entirely to 9655.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"Out of my way, Dragons! The Magical Scarab Beetle is mine!" A glaring Huntsman says while raising his Huntstaff and firing multiple green energy beams at our faithful heroes as we cue to the New York Harbor, and we see that it's late at night as the gang can be seen standing on the deck of a boat while in their Dragon Forms as we see Lao Shi and Shang-Chi flying through the air while avoiding all of the incoming green energy blasts from the Huntsman as Jake and Kris were currently fighting against Huntsgirl with Fu Dog and Noire taking cover behind a crate as a magical blue scarab beetle can be seen crawling along the deck.
Letting out a loud battle cry, Huntsgirl front flipped over to throw a strong kick at Jake, who held his wings out to block her attack and raised his tail to whip her away as she backflipped over to land on top of a crate and quickly began climbing up the big pile of crates as a roaring Kris flew onto the scene and began bashing through the crates before rearing back her head as she fired a big stream of pink flames that collided against the crates, blowing them up and sends a screaming Huntsgirl flying away.
Flying through the air, Lao Shi then dived down over to crash into the ground while rolling himself up into a ball and rode over to collide against a surprised Huntsman, sending him flying over to crash against a wall with a pained grunt as a roaring Shang-Chi flew over to tackle Huntsman through the wall and they arrived at the boat's cockpit as he began slashing his body with his sharp claws, causing the Huntsman to retaliate by raising his huntstaff and fired a big green energy blast that collided against him as he was sent flying over to crash against the other side of the room.
Falling through the air, Huntsgirl composed herself and front-flipped over to land on the ledge of the boat as the Long Twins flew over to land on the ledge of the boat while facing their foe from both sides as said person narrowed her eyes stoically and got into a fighting pose as Jake and Kris began throwing multiple punches and kicks at her with the Huntsgirl being able to expertly dodge and weave out of the attack as she reached behind her to pull out some rope and ran over to climb up Jake's body and used him as a springboard to leap over and land on a surprised Kris's neck as Huntsgirl wrapped her rope around it and began strangling her.
Groaning in pain, Shang-Chi then spotted the Huntsman stoically walking over to try and slay him with his Huntstaff, only to scream in pain as a big stream of blue flames collided against him and sent him flying over to crash against the wall as the American Dragon quickly spread out his wings and flew over to grab the Huntsman as he flew them over to crash through the ceiling of the room and twirled him around to then throw his mortal foe over to crash down into the ground with a pained groan.
Gagging in surprise, Kris then composed herself and glared as she raised her tail and wrapped it around Huntsgirl's neck, strangling her as well as she gagged and let go of the rope to reach up and try to take out her tail from her neck as Kris raised her up into the air and twirled her around before tossing her over to Jake, who flew up into the air to deliver a strong punch across Huntsgirl's face, sending her flying over to crash against the ground with a pained moan.
Getting angry, the Huntsman stood up from the floor and raised his Huntstaff to fire multiple green energy blasts up at the American Dragon and Chinese Dragon, who were flying through the air and avoided the attack as Lao Shi thought quickly and closing his eyes as he concentrated and his body glowed with blue chi as the Dragon Master made five more identical copies of himself out of his chi and Lao Shi and his Doppelgangers began flying around rapidly, distracting and confusing the Huntsman long enough for Shang-Chi to fly over and slashed up his chest, causing him to roar in pain and was sent flying over to crash against the floor.
"Kids! The beetle!" Fu Dog and Noire screamed while pointing over at the Magical Scarab Beetle as Huntsgirl perked up.
"I got it!" Huntsgirl shouted while rushing over to then dropped down onto the ground and slid over to grab the Magical Scarab Beetle as, thankfully, Kris flew over to wrap herself around her foe's body and used her inner body to heat up her body with pink heat as Huntsgirl screamed in pain and was forced to drop the Magical Scarab Beetle.
"Nice one, sis! Sorry, baby, but that beetle is mine!" Jake says with a grin while flying over to try and grab the Magical Scarab Beetle, only for it to slip out of his hands as it flies over to land on top of a nearby crate. "Damn! That thing is slicker than grease!"
"Oh, yeah? Well, you're wrong about that because that beetle is mine!" Huntsgirl screamed while struggling in Kris's hold as she then proceeded to dislocate her right shoulder and was able to slip out of the Female American Dragon's body.
"Shit, girl!" A shocked Kris says as Huntsgirl rolls forward and stands up on her knees as she reaches up to grab her right arm and proceeds to shove it back into place while biting back the scream in pain threatening to burst out of her mouth as the group then glanced up at the crate containing the Magical Scarab Beetle and Huntsgirl crouched down into the ground, planning to leap up and grab the Magical Scarab Beetle, only for Lao Shi and Shang-Chi to react quickly as they raised their arms and fired dual streams of blue and purple flames that collided against the crate, blowing it up and sends the Magical Scarab Beetle flying out of the boat as it landed down on a big flower pot placed in the docks, right next to a random warehouse as Jake smirked cockily.
"Good job, guys!" Jake shouted while giving them a thumbs up as Kris turned to her Twin Brother.
"Quick, Jake, I have an idea! Let's use our new move against them!" Kris yelled while pointing over at Huntsman and Huntsgirl, who went over to peer down over the boat's ledge as Jake grinned and nodded as the Long Twins reached over to grab each other's arms and closed their eyes in determination as a circle of red/pink fire appeared below them, and slowly lifted them up into the air as Kris and Jakes then opened their eyes as they growled.
"Dragonado!" The Long Twins exclaimed in unison as the circle around them formed into a large red/pink tornado that swallowed them up and flew forward as they were able to pull a surprised Huntsman and Huntsgirl into their large red/pink tornado as they flew around inside of it rapidly before Jake and Kris were able launch their foes out of the boat as the Huntsman and the Huntsgirl crashed down into the ocean below with a couple of angry and annoyed screams. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" The Long Twins screamed panickedly while losing control of their powers as their large red/pink tornado flew out of the boat, and they flew over to collide against the wall of the warehouse as Jake and Kris slowly slid down to crash into the ground while transforming back into their Human Forms with dual bursts of red and pink flames as they groaned in pain.
"We need to work on that..." Kris says with a moan as Jake nods in agreement just as their friends and Lao Shi's Chi Clones fly over to land in front of them while carrying around Fu Dog and Noire as they slide down their backs and land on the ground as Lao Shi and Shang-Chi transformed back into their Human Forms with dual bursts of blue and purple flames.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Fu Dog and Noire laughed amusedly as a bemused Shang-Chi crossed his arms with a small chuckle.
"Smooth, Cousins," Shang-Chi says as Lao Shi, after magically reabsorbing his Chi Clones back into his body and his body briefly glowed with blue chi energy, went over to grab the Long Twins' arms and pulled them up to their feet as Fu Dog went over to trap the Magical Scarab Beetle in a jar and Noire gave him the lid as he quickly reached over to grab it and closed up the jar.
"We got it."
"Hurry, we must get the beetle out of here." Lao Shi says urgently as he and the others turn around to walk away.
"I still don't get it. Why did we have to fight against the Huntsclan so hard to recover this little magical beetle?" Kris asked confusedly as Jake nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, what's so magical about this bug anyway?" Jake asked while he and the others didn't seem to notice that the flower pot from where the Magical Scarab Beetle was residing previously glowed a mystic blue, and all of the dead plants sprang back to life.
{The American Dragons: Jake and Kris Long-Season 1 Theme Song!}
They're cool, they're hot
Like a frozen sun
Sleeping soundly on their respective beds, Jake and Kris suddenly woke up as they bounced out of their beds, both feeling really excited for the day as they ran out of their rooms to do their morning routines and, after dressing up and eating their breakfasts, the Long Twins brought out their skateboards as they rode down the stairs and raced past their surprised Parents and Little Sister as they skated outside.
They're young and fast
They're the chosen ones
Their Best Friends, Spud, Trixie, Hunter, and Shang-Chi smiled warmly at the Long Twins but then winced in sympathy as Jake accidentally sprang out his Dragon Tail, and it got tangled up with the wheels on his skateboard as he lost control of his momentum and crashed against a couple of trashcans as Kris didn't fare any better as she accidentally activated her Flight of a Dragon and flew up into the air before losing control of her powers as the busty female teenager fell down and crashed inside of a dumpster.
People, we're not braggin'
They're the American Dragons!
Recovering from their accidents, the Long Twins and their Best Friends skated towards school as Jake turned his head and gasped as he saw Rose talking with her friends, and, feeling his heart beating faster than normal, the Male American Dragon stared at his crush lovingly with a big blush on his face as Jake didn't look where he was going and crashed against a nearby delivery man's truck.
Rolling her eyes at her Twin Brother's obvious crush on Rose, Kris glanced at her friends and gasped at the sight of Hunter's gorgeous face glinting against the sun as she blushed slightly, and the Female American Dragon sighed dreamily as Kris didn't look where she was going and crashed against the same truck that Jake crashed into. Hunter, Trixie, Spud, and Shang-Chi gasped worriedly as they ran over to the truck to check on their friends and cousins when suddenly, red/pink flames emerged from the vehicle as the Long Twins flew out of the truck in their Dragon Forms and posed heroically as they smiled down at their friends and cousin reassuringly.
They're going to stop their enemies with their awesome Dragon Powers
Dragon Teeth, Dragon Tail, Burning Dragon Fire
They're real live wires!
At Central Park, we see Jake, Kris, and Shang Chi skateboarding toward their Grandfather and Magical Animal Guardians as Lao Shi turns to them and silently points ahead as the Human/Dragon Hybrids' eyes widen in surprise at the sight of all their enemies coming together to defeat them as they glared at the trio and stood in fighting stances.
Nodding to each other determinedly, the trio transformed into their Dragon Forms as Jake smirked cockily at the readers while Kristina smiled shyly and Shang-Chi grinned slyly, but, unknown to the teens, however, Huntsgirl appeared behind them as she stopped on Kristina's tail and then also grabbed Jake's tail as she pulled it, and Jake and Kris's eyes widen as they yelled out in surprise/pain and accidentally blew red/pink fire at their Grandpa, Cousin, and Magical Guardians, who gave the Long Twins deadpanned looks as Fu Dog and Noire puts out the small lick of flames on their tails.
American Dragons!
(Dragon Up!)
American Dragons!
Jake and Kristina flew across the vast island of Manhattan as the magical creatures waved friendly at their magical Human/Dragon Hybrid Protectors, and the Long Twins waved back as a small group of fangirling fairies flew towards Jake and placed multiple kisses on his face as a pair of gargoyles whistled at Kristina as the Male American Dragon tried in vain to push the fairies off of his face while the Female American Dragon blushed madly as she covered her eyes shyly and accidentally rammed into her Twin Brother as her long body wrapped around his body and tied him up as they crashed down to the ground with a couple of startled yelps.
They're the American Dragons!
(Freestyle with the dragons!)
The American Dragons fought against the Huntsman and Huntsgirl as Jake grabbed his Twin Sister and twirled her around like a lasso before throwing her towards the villains as Kris used her elastic body to wrap around Huntsman and Huntsgirl's bodies as the Dragon-Slaying Villains tried in vain to escape as Jake grabbed Kristina's tail and twirled them around for a few seconds before Kris let go of them as they were launched up high into the sky.
The Long Twins fought against a horde of teeth-like monsters as Kristina flew across the battlefield like a torpedo and used her stretchy body to trip up the monsters towards Jake and Shang-Chi, who punched through them with ease as Hayley cheered in the background, and we then see the Long Twins facing off against a small Alien/Demonic Creature as their friends and a teenage blue-haired girl watched on worriedly.
Then, we see the Human/Dragon Hybrids fighting against Huntsgirl as she throws multiple punches at Jake, who blocks all of her punches as he swiftly grabs her last punch and throws her toward Kristina as the Female American Dragon smirks and stretches out her body as she catches Huntsgirl and then catapults her towards Shang-Chi, who delivered a massive uppercut to her chin as he sends the teenage ninja flying through the air before crashing against the roof of a car as Huntsgirl groans and slowly went unconscious as the Long Kids shared a high-five. Finally, we see a tied-up Jake and Kris struggling to escape as Huntsgirl raises her glowing green spear and glares hatefully into their terrified eyes as she screams, and Rose charges at them as she aims for their hearts.
Their skills are getting faster with Grandpa, the Master
Their destiny will walk up the streets
Showtime, baby, for their legacies
American Dragons!
Jake and Kris were practicing mastering their Dragon Powers as Lao Shi watched on from the background with an approving look on his face as he gestured for them to continue, and after a few minutes of training, Jake and Kristina glanced at their Grandfather before glancing back at each other as they smirked mischievously and nodded as they flew up high into the air.
Surprised, Lao Shi watched on as the Long Twins flew farther and farther away from him as they shared a high-five, but then they accidentally transformed back into their Human Forms as Jake and Kris screamed and hugged each other in fear as they fell down. Landing on the ground with surprisingly no injuries, the Long Twins jumped back in surprise as they were suddenly standing on a stage with their friends, and a huge crowd of New Yorkers stood in front of them as they cheered for their Magical Guardians.
Confused, Jake and Kris heard music beginning to play behind them as they turned around and saw their friends and family performing on stage with them as their band and the Long Twins turned to stare at each other for a few seconds before smirking widely as they grabbed a pair of microphones and starts rapping.
Jake: From the J, to the A, to the K, to the E
(American Dragons!)
Kris: And from the K, to the R, to the I to the S
(American Dragons!)
Jake and Kris: We're the mack-daddy/mama dragons from the NYC, ya hear?
(American Dragons)
After finishing their little short epic rap song, the crowd cheered louder as Rose appeared on stage while Hunter tossed his drumsticks away as the Duo walked towards the Long Twins, who blushed at the sight of their crushes walking towards them as Rose grabbed Jake's hands and smiled at him warmly while Hunter grabbed Kristina's waist and brought his crush closer to his body as they leaned in for a kiss as the Long Twins shared a quick fist-bump with each other before turning to their crushes as they leaned closer to kiss them.
Jake! Kris! Snap out of it and stop destroying Grandpa's Shop!
Lao Shi's annoyed yell rang out as Jake and Kris were snapped out of their daydreams and winced as they realized that they accidentally destroyed their Grandfather's Shop during their daydreams and simultaneously gagged in disgust as the Long Twins realized that they were going to kiss a couple of dirty and wet mops.
Aw, man!/Dang it!
(American Dragons!)
The Long Twins cursed as Lao Shi stared at them furiously with his face going red and trembled slightly in silent anger as Jake and Kris smiled down at him sheepishly before bolting out of the shop as they transformed into their Dragon Forms and flew to the sky as, not letting them go that easy, Lao Shi transformed into his Dragon Form and chased after his fleeing Grandchildren while yelling at the American Dragons angrily in either Mandarin/Cantonese.
{The American Dragons: Jake and Kris Long-Season 1 Theme Song Over!}
"...so, you three are sayin' that bug can actually bring junk to life?" A surprised Danika asked as we cued to the next day, and we see Jake, Kris, Shang-Chi, Trixie, Danika, and Spud hanging out with each other in the Computer Room at Millard Fillmore Highschool.
"That's what our Gramps says," Shang-Chi says with a shrug as Trixie scoffed and pointed over at Spud with a small smirk on her face.
"Well, you three need to hold it over Spud's head and wake up some of them brain cells."
"Good luck. These little dudes are heavy sleepers." Spud says with a goofy smile as, before anyone can react, Rose suddenly walks into the Computer Room and makes her way over to sit down on a chair to begin working on a computer as Jake immediately spots her and gains heart eyes as his hair turned into red flames and his dragon tail popped out as it wagged around with his arousal.
"Ooh! Smoke!"
"Smooth, bro." A bemused Kris says while reaching behind her to pull out a small fire extinguisher as she proceeds to fire a bunch of white foam on his head, extinguishing his flames and causing his hair to return back to normal as a yelping Jake des-summoned his dragon tail.
"Hey! What was that for?!"
"One, I don't want you accidentally setting off the sprinklers. Second, I was stopping you from accidentally exposing us to everyone here. Third, I thought it would be funny." A smug-grinned Kris says as Trixie rolls her eyes and scoffs.
"Hey, don't blame her for trying to snap you out of your love daze, Ga Ga Boy."
"Yeah, dude, if you like that Rose Girl, why don't you go over and ask her out already?" Shang-Chi asked as Jake blushed heavily and looked away as he crossed his arms.
"Ask her out? No way, guys. Mack Daddy Jake's gotta play it cool."
"Yeah, well, if Mack Daddy Jake doesn't make a move right now, someone else will." Kris pointed out while gesturing over at Rose as she then did a double take at the sight of what seemed to be first-degree burns on her neck and arms. "Whoa, is Rose okay? It looked like she got burned by something."
"Wait, for real? Dang, let me go and find out what's going on then." Jake says with a worried tone while walking forward as he makes his way over to Rose, who spotted him as she seemed to visibly brighten and turned to him.
"Oh, hey, Jake."
"Hey, uh, what's up, Rose? Haven't had a chance to dance with you since the talk." Jake says nervously as Rose notices this and giggles amusedly as he blushes a bit. "I mean, talk to you since the chance. I mean-,"
"It's cool. I know what you mean." Rose says reassuringly as she smiles up at him warmly. "It's good to see you, too."
"So, uh, I couldn't help but notice that you got some burns on your body. Are you okay?" A worried Jake asked as Rose flinched and put on a fake smile as she gave him a reassuring look.
"Ah, don't worry, I was at a spa and they were doing this...really intense...massaging technique with some heated rocks and it got a bit...carried away, but don't worry, I'm okay. My burns should heal after a while." Rose says as Jake sighs in relief and nods as he is about to say something but stops when an African-American Teacher named, 'Miss Jenkins' opens the door to the computer room and pops her head in as she smiles over at Rose.
"Cleopatra! Rehearsals in 5!" Miss Jenkins said as a bewildered Jake turned to Rose.
"Uh, did Miss Jenkins just call you Cleopatra?"
"Yeah," Rose says with a giggle that makes Jake's heart melt as she flips her blonde hair around. "The drama club's doing Antony and Cleopatra for the Shakespeare in the Park celebration next week."
"And Miss Rose is the queen of my Nile." A grinning Miss Jenkins says while walking over to wrap her arm around Rose's shoulder, and she then begins pulling her away. "Now, come on, sugar, the curtain calls!"
"So, Jake, I'll, uh, see you soon?" Rose suggested as Jake was about to agree but was interrupted by Miss Jenkins scoffing a bit as she shook her head.
"Soon? Don't be absurd. You are to spend the next week eating, drinking, and scene studying Antony and Cleopatra. Now, we just need to work on finding you an Antony." Miss Jenkins says while dragging Rose out of the Computer Room as Kris and the others walk up to a disappointed and saddened Jake.
"Sorry about that, man." An apologetic Shang-Chi says as Kris suddenly leans forward with a sly grin on her face,
"You know, Jake, Antony is Cleopatra's main squeeze, so if you sign up to join the play-,"
"Then I can spend more time with Rose! Good Job, Kris!" A grinning and excited Jake says as Trix frowns and places her hands on her hips as she scoffs.
"Oh, hell no, Jake! Please tell me you're not gonna be in some play just so you can be all up in Rose's grill?!" An annoyed Trixie asked as Jake ignored her and began fantasizing about himself and Rose as he blushed heavily.
~[Jake's Fantasy]~
"Ahhhhhhhh..." Rose sighed heavily while residing inside a bar as she reached over to grab a glass of water and drank it a bit before letting it wash over her whole body as the blonde-haired teenage girl could be seen wearing a blue Egyptian hat, an Egyptian golden neck guard, a sleeveless blue dress that reaches down to her feet and has golden accents, a pair of golden armbands, and wore a pair of brown sandals as she had a script of Antony and Cleopatra.
"Yo, Cleo P." A smirking Jake says while appearing in the bar and kicking the bar doors open as he has a pair of green leaves on his head, a long red cape wrapped around his neck as it reaches down to his feet, a pair of golden shoulder pads, a golden chest armor, a long brown skirt with golden accents on it, and a pair of brown sandals. "Forsooth, your Antony has arrived~,"
"Then I suggest we rehearse~," Rose says with a sultry tone as they go over to sit down on the bar counter. "So it should be, that none but Antony should conquer Antony; but woe 'tis so!"
"Yo, yo, yo, yo, check it. I am dying, Egypt, dying; only I here importune death awhile, until of many thousand kisses the poor last I lay upon thy lips." Jake says while giving Rose a loving look as he leans over to try and share a kiss with her, but then-
"KID! STOP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT HAS BEEN!"
~[Jake's Fantasy Over]~
"Huh?!" A surprised Jake asked as we fast forward in time and we cue over to Lao Shi's Shop as we see said person holding the magical scarab beetle, which was still stuck in a jar as he was having a serious meeting with the American Dragons and Magical Guardians, only for them to deadpanned at the sight of Jake trying to make out with the dirty mop as he opened his eyes and yelped in surprise as the Male American Dragon hastily dropped the mop and gave everyone a sheepish grin as Kris gave him a dry look, Shang-Chi looked grossed out, Lao Shi looked annoyed, Fu Dog looked freaked out, and Noire was weirded out.
"Jake, have you heard a single word I have said?" Lao Shi asked with narrowed eyes as Jake sweated nervously and nodded.
"Uh, sure. You were just saying an ancient Chinese proverb that holds the key to me learning a really valuable lesson?"
"Grandpa was saying that we're supposed to protect the scarab beetle until we figure out a way to get it back to Egypt." Kris pointed out as Jake perked up and nodded.
"Hey, what? No problem. I'm all over that." Jake says before reaching behind him to pull out the script for the play as he raises an eyebrow at it confusedly. "So, uh, does anybody know what 'importune' means?"
"It either means harassing someone persistently or approach someone to request or offer sexual services," Shang-Chi says, shocking Jake as we then fast forward to nighttime and we cue over to a huge, random, and fancy-looking Apartment located in New York City as we see the Huntsgirl having a meeting with the Huntsman in their meeting room as he growls furiously.
"Blast those American Dragons! We'll pick up the search tomorrow! We will find them and the beetle!" The Huntsman yelled with a glare as the Huntsgirl reached up to grab her mask and took it off, revealing herself to be Rose as she placed her hands on her hips and scoffed.
"For all we know, the Dragons have already sent it back to Egypt," Rose says while rolling her eyes as the Huntsman turns to glare down at her in irritation. "Maybe we should just give up and-,"
"Give up?! Those Dragons need to be slain! Never forget that! It is your calling, as it is mine." Huntsman says while reaching up to grab his left glove and take it off to reveal the dragon-shaped birthmark on his left hand. "As it is theirs." Huntsman says while pointing over at the Statues of the Past Huntsmen as Rose glances down at her right glove and reaches over to grab it to take it off to glance down at her dragon-shaped birthmark on her right hand.
"I understand, Huntsmaster, but what's so important about this one Egyptian bug?"
"...Let me show you." A serious and glaring Huntsman says coldly as we fast forward in time and we see the duo making their way through the underground tunnels of the Huntsclan Headquarters as the Huntsman was lighting the way with the help of his huntstaff as it glowed a bright green. "You see, Huntsgirl, for generations, the Huntsclan have hunted magical creatures, and for generations, Dragons have stood in their way. Well, no more." Huntsman says while he and Rose arrived at a door with the Huntsclan Symbol planted onto it as it opened up, and the duo walked into a large room filled with what seemed to be thousands of caskets that were filled with the corpses of Past Huntsclan Members as Huntsgirl was stunned and horrified by this.
"Once we locate the scarab, we will use its life-giving powers to revive past generations of Huntsclan. Hundreds shall be reborn and become my army. An army that will wipe out Dragons forever." The Huntsman says while laughing maniacally as we then cut to the next day and we appear at Millard Fillmore Highschool as we cue over to the Theater Room, and we see that they are having auditions for the role of Anthony for the play as Brad could be seen standing on the stage with a script in his hands.
"Peace...ot Cæsar's valour hath o'erthrown Antony, but Antony's hath triumph'd on itself...so, does the Bradster get to lock lips with Cleopatra now or later?" A grinning Brad asked as Rose, who was sitting next to Miss Jenkins, turned to give her teacher a pleading and disgusted look as she nodded, and we then see a Mexican Boy auditioning for the play as well.
"Actuar no se trata sólo de palabras, se trata de pasión (Acting is not just about the words, it is about the passion)," The Mexican Boy says while placing a rose in his mouth and began dancing as Miss Jenkins sighed heavily, and we then see a Hockey Player standing on stage.
"I'm a pretty good forward, eh, but what I really want to be is goalie...this is hockey tryouts, right?" The Hockey Player asked sheepishly as Miss Jenkins facepalmed and groaned loudly as we then see Spud standing on stage.
"Um, I'm auditioning for understudy on account that I have the entire works of Shakespeare committed to memory," Spud explained as Miss Jenkins smiled a bit and nodded as we then see a cocky Jake standing on stage.
"Yo, yo, yo, yo! Pay attention! 'Cause Jake Long is in the hizzie! About to audition for my man Marc Antonizzie." Jake says before getting a good look at a hopeful and smiling Rose as Kris, who was sitting near her with Shang-Chi, gestures at him to get serious and remember what they practiced for as Jake nods and grows serious as he puts on a somber frown.
"I am dying, Egypt, dying; only I here importune death awhile until of many thousand kisses the poor last I lay upon thy lips," Jake says as Miss Jenkins perks up and smiles eagerly as we fast forward in time, and we see Jake and the others coming out of the Theater Room excitedly as they walk up to Trixie and Danika. "Yo, Trix! Kris's plan worked! I totally got the part!"
"And I get to be his understudy!" A beaming Spud says as Trixie scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Jake just shut down the whole Mack Daddy game and straight up ask your little dime piece out-,"
"Yo, yo, yo, yo! Cleo P!" An excited Jake says after spotting Rose coming out of the Theater Room as he runs up to her. "Uh, forsooth, your Antony has arrived."
"Well, I tried..." A blank-faced Trixie says as Kris rolls her eyes a bit.
"Come on, now, Trix, let Jake move in his own steady pace. He will ask out Rose when the time comes."
"Good to hear...so when do you think you and Hunter will be dating?" Trixie asked with a sly grin as Kris blushed heavily and turned around to run away as Trixie and Spud chased after her.
"So, I have to ask, why didn't you try to get a part in the play?" Danika asked Shang-Chi curiously as he shrugged uncaringly.
"Eh, not much of an Actor Kind of Guy, but I would've loved getting Anthony's part to have you be my Cleopatra," Shang-Chi says with a flirty tone as Danika blushes and smiles.
"Oh, Jake, this is gonna be so great. I can't wait to start rehearsing." A giddy Rose says with a smile as Jake smirks back at her and nods.
"My thoughts exactly. How about some one-on-one rehearsal time for the two leads? Your place after school?" Jake asked as Rose blushed heavily and smiled excitedly...but then frowned as she gained a worried look.
"Uh, my place probably isn't such a good idea," Rose says while having an imagined spot of bringing Jake into her home, and Huntsman finds out that she brought a cute boy into their home and proceeds to ground her by forcing her to clean up the Huntsclan Headquarters and clean up everyone's clothes and weapons as the Huntsman will cut off Jake's limbs one by one and kills him as he will leave his decapitated parts in the middle of a park to lure in Dragons to eat his corpse.
'That's cool. I know where we can go." Jake says with a reassuring smile that makes her heart flutter as we fast forward to nighttime and we cue over to Lao Shi's Shop as the Male American Dragon closes up the shop and makes his way over to the back to sit down on the couch next to Rose as she was reading the Antony and Cleopatra with a warm smile on her face.
"Antony and Cleopatra are natural enemies forced to choose between love and responsibility to their cause."
"Oh, love and responsibility. Yeah, I think I got it." Jake says while awkwardly trying to wrap his arm around Rose's shoulder but chickened out as he pretended to be fixing his hair when his crush turned to him.
"So, I was thinking, maybe we should skip to Act 4, Scene 15."
"Huh?! Do you mean the scene with the kiss?! Right now?!" A shocked Jake asked as Rose nodded with a wide, eager smile on her face.
"Yeah. It's the emotional centerpiece of the play. Is that cool?"
"Pfft, yeah, sure, totally cool. Because I've kissed girls before. Totally...kissed girls...before..." Jake says with an awkward smile as what he said wasn't a lie, but the Male American Dragon neglected to mention that the only girls that he had kissed were his Mother, Sisters, and Aunt on the cheeks.
"It's not just a kiss, Jake. It's what the kiss represents, the totally intense connection between them. It doesn't just happen, it happens because they're ready to completely surrender to each other. So, are you ready?" Rose asked as Jake gulped nervously and blushed as he nodded, and both of them closed their eyes as the lovebirds leaned in close to kiss each other, but sadly enough, the American Dragon chickened out and pulled back as his elbow collided against the jar containing the magical scarab beetle, causing it to fall down and crash into the ground, shattering the jar as both Jake and Rose were alarmed by this.
"What was that?!" A surprised Rose asked as Jake glanced down and spotted the magical scarab beetle scurrying away as he panicked.
"N-Nothing!" Jake says while standing up from the couch as he tries to run over and grab the magical scarab beetle, only for it to disappear from sight as he groans. "Aw, man..." Jake says while facepalming himself as we then fast forward in time, and we see the Dragon Team having a meeting with each other after Rose leaves as the American Dragon finishes explaining to the others what happened.
"What do you mean, you lost the beetle?!" A shocked Lao Shi asked with a glare as Jake gave him a guilty frown.
"I don't know what happened. I was just rehearsing lines with Rose, and then there was-,"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Rehearsing lines? For what?" A bewildered Noire asked as Jake smirked excitedly.
"The school play. I'm Antony, she's Cleopatra."
"Jake, your responsibilities as the American Dragon are to protect magical creatures, NOT FLIRT WITH SCHOOLGIRLS!" An angry Lao Shi snapped as Kris turned to him.
"To be fair, Gramps, we should've hid the magical scarab beetle inside of a safe or something instead of letting it hang around in the back from where anyone could come in and free it." Kris pointed out as Lao Shi grew angry and was about to protest but then paused as he realized that she made a good point.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, we will find the beetle soon," Shang-Chi says reassuringly as Lao Shi huffs and turns around to walk away as, immediately, everyone turns to Jake hopefully and expectantly. "So did you finally do it, cus?"
"Were you able to reach Act 4, scene 15, huh?" A grinning Kris asked as Fu Dog nodded with a laugh.
"Yeah, did you finally plant a big old smoocherino on Miss Rose or what, huh?" Fu Dog asked as a disappointed and embarrassed Jake shook his head.
"I tried, but I...I just...freaked and chickened out."
"Ah, don't worry about it, bro," Kris says with a non-teasing tone as Shang-Chi nods.
"Yeah, everybody freaks out when they finally try to get their first kiss."
"Ha, ha, ha, yeah, my first time, her hair extensions got caught in my wrinkles because we were-,"
"Anyway..." Noire stressed out while interrupting Fu Dog as she gave Jake a soft smile. "The point is, it'll happen when it's right. No pressure."
"Rose, hey..." Jake says as we cue to the next day, and we see him running through the halls of Millard Fillmore Highschool as he spots Rose and makes his way over to her. "...so, about last night..."
"Jake, I am so sorry." Rose apologized with a frown, surprising Jake as he raised an eyebrow confusedly at why she was apologizing when he was the one who freaked out. "It's just, Act 4, Scene 15 is such a passionate part of the play. I really want to get it right. I'm sorry if I freaked you out."
"Me? Freaked out? Pfft! Rose, please. Jake Long is all about the passion." A grinning Jake says as he places his hands on his hips. "I just...I just wanted to make sure you weren't freaked out."
"Oh, really? Wow, how thoughtful, but don't worry, I'm more than okay with kissing you...for the play, obviously." Rose says with a mild blush and an awkward laugh as she places her arms behind her back. "Anyway, should we pick up rehearsals tonight?"
"Totally. How about your place?" Jake asked as Rose flinched and sweated nervously.
"Well, I guess we could, but-,"
"Cool. Your place it is then." Jake says with a nod as Rose smiles awkwardly and nods back as we fast forward to nighttime, and we cue over to Rose's Apartment as we see the Male American Dragon admiring her home. "Damn, this is some crib you got here. Seriously, my church isn't even this big." Jake says while going over to pull out one of the books from her home's library as, unknown to them, a compartment in the stack of the library opened up to reveal a bunch of the Huntsclan's weapons and the Huntsgirl Supersuit attached to it.
"I live here with my, um, uncle. This is like his castle." Rose explained from the kitchen as Jake nodded and placed the book back on the shelf as said shelf closed up, and Rose appeared as she carried around a tray filled with punch. "I made us some punch," Rose says as Jake nods and reaches over to grab the glass of punch as he drinks it, and the blonde-haired busty teenager then reaches behind her to pull out the play's script. "So, in this next scene, Antony visits Cleopatra in Egypt, which to him is enemy territory."
"Uh-huh, so, you want to do Act 4, Scene 15 or what?"
"Uh, are you cool with that?" A worried Rose asked as she placed her script on the table. "Because we don't have to if-,"
"No, no, no, no, no. I'm cool. Totally cool." Jake says with a nervous nod as Rose raises an eyebrow and nods.
"Okay, here we go..." Rose says as she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath as she then opened it. "Quicken with kissing; had my lips that power, thus would I wear them out."
"Be cool, dude. Be cool. Mack Daddy is cool. It's just a kiss." Jake thought to himself anxiously as an oblivious Rose closed her eyes and leaned forward. "Here it comes. She's leaning in. Just do what she does." Jake says while closing his eyes and leaning forward as they are about to share a kiss, but then the lovebirds flinched in surprise as they heard the door opening. "What was-,"
"Oh, no, it's my uncle!" An extremely worried and panicking Rose says, genuinely fearing for Jake's life as she reaches over to grab him by his shoulders. "He's home early! You have to hide!" Rose screamed while throwing him underneath the table with its covers being able to hide him from view as she poked her head with an apologetic frown on her face. "Sorry, he's, uh, really strict," Rose says before poking her head out as Jake sat up, not knowing that the magical scarab beetle emerged out of his pocket and scurried across the ground.
"Why was the door bolted and latched in six places?" A glaring Huntsman asked with a fierce glare while not wearing his dragon skull mask, exposing his head as it had heavy third-degree burns on his face with one of his brown eyes being partially blind as he had no hair, one of his ears was ripped out, his lips were missing, there was a huge scar running down his face and there was an even bigger bloodied scar on his neck.
"Uh, you never can be too safe," Rose said with a nervous laugh as Jake couldn't help but find her uncle's voice oddly familiar, and crawled over to reach out and lift up the tarp enough to see the Huntsman's feet as he then flinched worriedly at the sight of the magical scarab beetle lying near his feet.
"Is there someone here?"
"I swear. It's just me. Here alone. All by my lonesome." Rose lied through her teeth as Jake opened up his mouth and tried to stretch out his tongue to grab the magical scarab beetle, only for the Huntsman to accidentally stomp on his dragon Tongue, causing him to gag and mentally scream in pain agony as, thankfully, the Huntsman walked away and Jake slurped his Dragon Tongue as he began spitting and rubbing his bruised tongue.
"I have an idea of how to proceed with our mission. Follow me." The Huntsman says while turning around to walk away as Jake looks around and spots the magical scarab beetle as he tries to reach out and grab it, only for Rose to appear as she lowers down to grab his arm.
"I'm really sorry! Call you later! Bye!" Rose screamed while dragging Jake around with a surprising amount of strength and tossed him out of her apartment before closing the door as the American Dragon groaned loudly.
"Aw, man..."
"So, Huntsmaster, what is your plan?" Rose asked with a serious glare as the Huntsman walked over to grab his dragon skull hat and put it on as he turned around and reached over to pull a book from the shelf, causing a compartment to open up to reveal a bunch of Huntsclan Weapons.
"We may not know the American Dragons' Human Identities, but we know the Dragon Master's," Huntsman says while grabbing his Hunterstaff and it glows green as it projects multiple holographic images of the American Dragons and Lao Shi in both his Human Form and his Dragon Form. "He is our key to finding the scarab," Huntsman says as, unknown to them, the magical scarab beetle can be seen scurrying over to climb into Rose's backpack.
"...That's it, kid." Fu Dog says as we cut to the next day early in the morning, and we see him and Noire hanging out in Lao Shi's Shop while watching on as Jake holds himself up into the air with the help of his Dragon Tail while hanging upside down as Shang-Chi lays on top of him and summons his Dragon Wings as Kris lays on top of him and made sure to keep herself up in the air thanks to her Dragon Flight Chi.
"Concentration and balance are a key part of Drag..." Noire says before trailing off as she and the others hear the door opening and spot a sheepish Rose walking into the store as the American Dragons quickly disable their Dragon Limbs and deactivate their Dragon Chi of Flight as they all crash down into the ground.
"Oh, hey, Rose, we are just doing our morning stretches," Jake says with an awkward laugh as he and the others get up from the floor.
"Hey, Rose," Kris said while she and Shang-Chi waved at Rose, who waved back as she then gave Jake an apologetic look.
"Anyway, the reason that I'm here is because I wanted to apologize for last night. It's just...my uncle is super strict, and-,"
"JAKE! IF THAT'S A CUSTOMER WITH A RETURN, TELL THEM ELECTRONICS ARE LIKE BIKINIS! ALL SALES ARE FINAL! KRIS! COME HERE AND HELP GRANDPA WITH STOCKING! SHANG-CHI! GO AND HELP CLEAN THE BATHROOM!" Lao Shi screamed from the back as Rose, who had never seen Jake's Grandfather in person, couldn't help but find his voice oddly familiar.
"Okay, we are coming, Grandpa..." Kris and Shang-Chi say with a couple of heavy sighs as they make their way to the back.
"Yeah. My grandpa can be pretty strict sometimes, too." Jake says with a shrug and had a knowing tone in his voice as he crosses his arms.
"So, I guess we need to find a new place to rehearse. What about your house?" Rose suggested as Jake flinched with worry and shock as he imagined bringing Rose to his house, and Hayley immediately appeared to begin taunting him by making kissing noises while Susan appeared and began taking pictures of him as Johnathon congratulated Jake on bringing his crush home and said that he should probably give him a reminder about the 'Birds and the Bees'.
"...My house is being fumigated..." Jake says with a deadpanned tone as he then smirked at her cockily. "...but I think I know somewhere else we can go," Jake says reassuringly as we then fast forward in time and we cue to Trixie's Apartment, late at night as Jake and Rose are rehearsing with each other on Trixie's Living Room Couch.
"Quicken with kissing; had my lips that power, thus would I wear them out," Rose says while she and Jake close their eyes as they lean forward and are about to share a kiss, but then-
"Oh, gross." A disgusted Trixie says while walking into the living room as Jake and Rose open their eyes as they turned to her. "Okay, look. Just because I said you could rehearse at my place doesn't mean I gotta watch. I'm out of here." Trixie says while turning around to leave her apartment as Rose sighs heavily and turns to Jake.
"Jake, I think I know why we're having trouble with Act 4, Scene 15."
"Trouble? W-W-What trouble?" Jake asked with a nervous tone as he looked around anxiously.
"We haven't earned it. See, Antony and Cleopatra have been through so much together, but we haven't been through anything togeth..." Rose says before trailing off as the magical scarab beetle emerged out of her backpack and made its way up the wall of Trixie's Living Room with the lovebirds being able to see it as they were surprised to see the magical scarab beetle flying out of the apartment through the window.
"Oh, no!/No way!" Jake and Rose screamed in unison while standing up from the couch as they turned to each other.
"Uh, do you mind if we take five before we start rehearsing? I need to use the bathroom."
"Good idea. I need some air." Rose says while going over to grab her backpack as Jake nods, and they turn around to run away as the blonde-haired teenage busty girl makes her way into the hallway, and after seeing Jake enter the bathroom, she is quick to run over and open the hallway closet as Rose runs inside and closed the door behind her as she dropped her backpack and opened it to reach inside to pull out her Huntsgirl Supersuit.
"Ugh, Dragons are so lucky," Rose says with an annoyed look while quickly styling and tying her long luscious and wavy blonde hair into a large waist-length braid before reaching down to grab her sleevless white cropped shirt to take it off to reveal her F-Cup Breasts that were being hidden by her dark pink frilly bra. "They can transform in and out of their Human Form and Dragon Form whenever they want." Rose says with an irritated huff while undoing her belt as she pulls down her long dark pink pants and kicks off her pair of brown flat sandals to reveal her dark pink frilly panties.
"While I'm forced to dress up into my Huntsclan Outfit like a normal person," Rose says with a glare while quickly putting on her green mask, and her long-sleeved skintight green jumpsuit with black shoulder pads and a black vest with an hourglass window that shows off her breasts as Rose then puts on her black gloves and black slippers as she then strapped on her black utility belt and we cue back to Trixie's Apartment Bathroom as we see Jake closing the door behind him and glared in determination as he then closed his eyes and began concentrating as a circle of red fire appeared below him, and slowly lifted him up into the air as Jake opened his eyes, revealing them to be dragon-like as he growled furiously.
"Dragon Up!" Jake roared out as the circle around him formed into a large red tornado that swallowed him up and hid his transformation from view as Jake then leaped out of the tornado in his Dragon Form and landed on the ground as he roared savagely before flying over to go through the bathroom window while struggling a bit due to his large frame and wings as the American Dragon flew up to land on the roof of Trixie's Apartment and perked up at the sight of the magical scarab beetle as he tried to bend down and grab it, only for the Huntsgirl to front flip over to land on the scene as she glared at him angrily.
"Dragon-Wait, where are the others?"
"Oh, they are busy doing other Dragonly Duties." Jake lied as Kris was currently hanging out with Hunter and Shang-Chi was going on a small date with Danika.
"Hmmm, alright then, let's make this quick," Huntsgirl says while getting down into a fighting pose as Jake does the same.
"Works for me," Jake says while reaching over to place her hand on his chest and pushing her away with his superhuman strength, sending her flying off of the roof of the apartment as he reaches down and grabs the magical scarab beetle as the Male American Dragon then takes off into the air to try and fly away, only for Rose to raise her arm and it fired out a grappling hookline that flew up to attach itself onto his tail as she was hoisted up into the air and held out her other arm to fire another grappling hookline that wrapped around a metal pipe as Huntsgirl was able to yank a surprised Jake back down onto Trixie's Apartment Roof and they rolled around for a bit and groaned.
"Cheap trick," Jake says with an annoyed glare as Huntsgirl ignores him and runs over to grab the magical scarab beetle as he reacts quickly and uses his inner fire to heat up his body with red heat as the American Dragon slams his hands into the ground, heating up the apartment roof as Rose yelped in pain and jumped up and down to ease the pain from her feet as she dropped the magical scarab beetle.
"Cheaper trick!" An angry Huntsgirl yelled before yelping in surprise as Jake flew forward and collided against her, sending her flying over to a clothesline and wrapped around it as she hung from it comically, and the American Dragon ran over to bend down and grab the magical scarab beetle, not knowing that Rose used her gymnastic skills to spin around rapidly in the clothesline and then launched herself over to tackle him into the ground, making him drop the magical scarab beetle as it rolled over to get into a nearby pipe as the lovebirds could be seen wrestling with each other briefly before realizing that the beetle was gone as they separated from each other and looked around anxiously.
"Where'd it go?! Ugh, I so don't have time for this bullshit!" An irritated and glaring American Dragon and Huntsgirl screamed while separating from each other to fly and jump away as we fast-forward in time and we see Jake and Rose meeting up with each other in Trixie's Living Room in their Human Form and Civilian Form.
"Would you mind if we take five more minutes? I have to use the bathroom."
"Good idea. I need some air-Whoa, wait, why are you half-naked?!" A surprised and blushing Jake asked while having messy hair as he looked away respectfully, and Rose was confused by his reaction until she noticed that her hair was messy, and while she was able to strip off her Huntsgirl Uniform, she forgot to put on her civilian clothes and was left in her dark pink frilly bra and panties.
"I...uh...as I said before, I was getting some fresh hair," Rose says with an awkward smile and flushed in embarrassment as she covers up her half-naked form and the duo then separate as we see them arriving back at Trixie's Apartment Roof and is about to continue fighting, but the Huntsgirl flinches and blushes heavily as she turned around and held out her hand.
"Wait, wait, wait, time out! Time out! I can't focus on fighting when that big thing is aiming at my face!"
"What big thing?" A bewildered Jake asked cluelessly until he felt a breeze hit him and glanced down to see that he accidentally changed back halfway, and he was somehow in his underwear as, much to his shock and embarrassment, there was a big tent at the front of his boxers. "Oh, uh, sorry, I was just, uh..." Jake says awkwardly while blushing heavily as he covers his lower half with a burst of red flames and gains his Dragon's lower half as, once he was decent, Huntsgirl wasted no time in leaping over to kick him away, sending him flying over to crash into the ground with a surprised yelp as the American Dragon turned his head and perked up at the sight of the magical scarab beetle emerging out of the pipe and tried to reach over and grab it, only to be stopped by the Huntsman as he appeared out of nowhere and bend down to grab it with a sinister smirk on his face.
"Ha! Finally! My army of Huntsclan can now be reborn!" The Huntsman says with an evil laugh while slamming his hunstaff into the ground as he and the Huntsgirl proceed to teleport themselves away with a flash of green light as Jake is shocked by this.
"Aw, man..." Jake says with a groan as we fast forward in time, and we see him at Lao Shi's Shop, having a meeting with Kris and the others as he had finished informing them of what just happened.
"You are sure you heard him correctly?"
"Yeah. He said his army of Huntsclan can now be reborn." Jake says as Fu Dog nods while reading from his magical book.
"Oh, yep. According to my potions book, the scarab beetle is a key ingredient in a spell that brings the dead back to life."
"Oh, no, the Huntsclan has been active for thousands of years, which means that the Huntsman can have an army of thousands of Undead Huntsclan Members." A worried Kris says as Jake groaned loudly and facepalmed himself with a guilty look on his face.
"This is all my fault, guys. If I'd just stopped obsessing over Rose and focused more-,"
"Do not worry, Jake. Grandpa has been there, too." Lao Shi says with a reassuring tone as the Former Chinese Dragon smirks a bit. "Young, wide-eyed, easily blinded by beauty and passion and-,"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, G! TMI! Do you know what that stands for? Too much information." An annoyed Fu Dog says as Noire nods in agreement and points down at the magic book.
"Anyway, Fu Dog and I found something else. It seems the spell can only be done under the light of a full moon, which just so happens to be tonight."
"But tonight's the play!" A concerned and saddened Jake says as everyone gives him a stern, dry look. "Which I can...totally miss, because this is way more important..."
"We have two hours to locate the tomb of the Huntsclan. Let's make this count, everyone." Shang-Chi says with a small glare as the Dragon Team nods stoically.
"...sorry, dude. So far, my Internet search is turning up nada." Spud says with a frown as we fast forward to nighttime and we cue over to the Central Park Theater Room as everyone is preparing for the play with Spud sitting at a table and was searching for any clues about where the tomb for the Huntsclan can be on his laptop as Kris stood near him while Shang-Chi and Danika were helping setting up the play as Jake was standing nearby. "But on the plus side, I found a killer coupon for the new Juiceteria on 34th Street."
"Don't worry, take your time, Spud," Kris says as Spud nods and continues on for his search.
"Ooh, wow, you are quite the strong man, aren't you~?" Danika said with a seductive tone as Shang-Chi lifted up two large crates by himself and winked at her playfully as she gave him a blushing smile just as Rose appeared as Jake perked up at the sight of her as he walked over to her.
"Rose, there's something I have to tell you," Jake says urgently while wearing a pair of green leaves on his head, a long red cape wrapped around his neck as it reaches down to his feet, a pair of golden shoulder pads, a golden chest armor, a long brown skirt with golden accents on it, and a pair of brown sandals.
"Jake, there's something I have to tell you," Rose says anxiously while wearing a blue Egyptian hat, an Egyptian golden neck guard, a sleeveless blue dress that reaches down to her feet and has golden accents, a pair of golden armbands, and wore a pair of brown sandals.
"I can't do the play tonight!" Jake and Rose screamed in unison with Miss Jenkins screaming panickedly and moaning as she proceeded to faint.
"I'm really sorry to bail on you again, but this family thing came up," Rose says with an apologetic look on her face as Jake blinks in surprise.
"Really? Me too."
"I guess Act 4, Scene 15 was never meant to be...although, my family thing shouldn't last too long. If I leave now, I think I can make it back in time." Rose says with a sly grin as Jake perks up excitedly.
"Really? Me too!"
"It's a date!" Rose says while leaning over to kiss Jake on the cheek, causing him to go stiff and gain hearty eyes as Rose turns around to run away.
"Guys, I think I found something," Spud says, gaining Jake and Shang-Chi's attention as they go over to stand beside Kris. "All right, according to this urban myth website, there's a cave near the southern rim of the park. A few years back, some dude went into it and was never seen again. Then a month later, they found his camera, along with this picture." Spud says while showing the map of the southern rim of the park as well as the picture of the Huntsclan Symbol as the trio perked up.
"You did it, Spud!" A happy Kris says as Shang-Chi nods.
"Yeah, you rock, man!"
"Dude, tell me something I don't need to know," Spud says with a smug grin as the trio then turns around to run toward the exit door.
"I'll be back, but no matter what happens, keep the play going long enough for Act 4, Scene 15!" Jake says with a smirk before he and the others make out of the Central Park Theater as, after making sure that no one is looking, the trio glares in determination and closes their eyes as the Long Twins and Shang-Chi begin concentrating, and a circle of red/pink/dark purple fire appeared below them as it slowly lifted them up into the air and Kris, Jake, and Shang-Chi opened their eyes, revealing them to be dragon-like as they growled furiously.
"Dragon Up!" The Long Twins roared out while Shang-Chi remained silent as the circle around them formed into a large red/pink/dark purple tornado that swallowed them up and hid their transformations from view as Jake, Kris, and Shang-Chi then leaped out of the tornado in their Dragon Forms as they landed on the ground and roared savagely as the trio then took off into the air at high speeds.
~[The Dragon Team vs the Huntsclan]~
"Votas existo exercitus!" The Huntsman chanted as we fast forward in time and we cue over to the Huntsclan Tomb as we see him and Huntsgirl standing in the middle with the Huntsman reading from a spellbook as he held up the magical scarab beetle and the moonlight shined down from the roof as it began slowly heading towards it, but then-
"Dorkus-freako, give-it-upis/Before-oh we-a kicka-your-assis." Jake and Kris said in unison while they, Shang-Chi, and Lao Shi flew onto the scene and they landed on the ground in their Dragon Forms.
"The Dragons!" The Huntsman says with a glare before he and Huntsgirl yelped in surprise as the Dragons flew over to tackle them into the ground, making them drop both the magical book and the magical scarab beetle as Fu Dog and Noire can be seen hiding nearby.
Separating from each other, Lao Shi and Shang-Chi can be seen confronting the Huntsman as he growled furiously and raised his huntstaff to fire multiple green energy blasts at them, forcing them to fly in a clockwise motion to avoid the attack as they flew over to reach him, and Lao Shi lets out a loud battle cry as he raised his tail and delivered a mighty tailwhip up his chin, sending the Huntsman flying up into the air as Shang-Chi opened up his mouth and fired a big stream of purple flames that collided against him, sending him flying over to crash through a Huntsclan Tomb as he groaned in pain.
Gritting her teeth in effort, the Huntsgirl can be seen jumping, ducking, and avoiding all of the incoming punches from the Long Twins as she tried to throw a punch at Jake, only for Kris to hold out her tail and wrap it around her arm as she forced her foe to punch herself in the face, dazing her a bit as the smirking Male American Dragon raised his left wing and collided against the back of Rose's head, causing her to stumble forward with a pained yelp as he then raised his right wing, and it collided against her face, sending her stumbling over to crash down into the ground with a pained grunt.
~[Spud and the others]~
"My dearest Cleopatra." Spud says while standing on the stage and wearing a pair of green leaves on his head, a long brown cape wrapped around his neck as it reaches down to his feet, a pair of golden spiky shoulder pads, a golden chest armor, a long golden skirt, and a pair of golden sandals. "There's beggary in the love that can be reckoned," Spud says before going over to go behind a curtain and popping back onto the stage as he is now wearing a golden Egyptian hat, an Egyptian blue neck guard, a sleeveless golden dress that reaches down to his feet, a pair of blue armbands, and wore a pair of brown sandals. "Oh, Antony. I'll set a bourn how far to be belov'd."
"He's doing both roles?!" A bewildered and exasperated Miss Jenkins asked as she looked around and perked up at the sight of Trixie and Danika standing around as she pointed at them. "You two! One of you has to go onto the stage right now! Either of you is my new Cleopatra!"
"Uh, yo, I ain't trying to go up on stage. I'm just here to show my bud Spud some support." Trixie says with a blank-faced look as she then yelped in surprise when Miss Jenkins reached over to grab her arm and lead her away to get her into costume.
~[The Dragon Team vs the Huntsclan]~
Growling angrily, the Huntsman burst out of the Huntsclan tomb and fell down through the air as he held out his huntstaff and fired multiple green energy blasts down at the duo, who took off into the air to fly through the air as Lao Shi and Shang-Chi fired multiple blue and purple fireballs up at the airborne Huntsman with said person narrowly avoiding the attack and landing on the ground as he rolled forward and stood up to his knees as the Leader of the Huntsclan raised his huntstaff and continued firing more and more green energy blasts at the Human/Dragon Hybrids.
Frowning in embarrassment and anger, the Huntsgirl leaped back into a low crouch as she twirled around and was able to knock Jake off his feet and leaped up high into the air to try and kick Kris in the face, only to yelp in pain as the Female American Dragon reared back her head and fired a small thin stream of pink flames that collided against Rose's body as she was sent flying over to crash down into the ground with a pained grunt as Fu Dog and Noire poked their heads out of their hiding place as they flinched in surprise at the sight of the magical scarab beetle making its way over to a beam of moonlight.
"Kids! Whatever you do, keep the scarab out of the moonlight!" Fu Dog and Noire screamed worriedly, but the American Dragons were too busy dealing with their foes to hear them as the magical scarab beetle reached the moonlight beam, and it floated up into the air as it fired multiple beams of magical blue energy that collided against all of the Huntsclan's tombs, bringing all of the Huntsclan Members back to life as they emerged out of their tombs and dropped down into the ground as Jake, Kris, Lao Shi, and Shang-Chi looked shocked and horrified by this as Fu Dog groaned and facepalmed.
"We tell the kids, but do they ever listen?" Fu Dog asked as Noire facepalmed and groaned loudly.
~[Spud and the others]~
"There's not a minute of our lives should stretch without some pleasure now," Spud says while wearing his Anthony Outfit as a bored Trixie was wearing a golden Egyptian hat, an Egyptian blue neck guard, a sleeveless golden dress that reaches down to his feet, a pair of blue armbands, and wore a pair of brown sandals. "What sport to-night?"
"Hey, yo, Antony! Peep game! I don't know what you crackalatin' in that Roman head of yours, but y'all better bow down and respect the Nubian queen, baby!" A smirking Trixie says while placing her hands on her hips as everyone applauded and cheered as Miss Jenkins groans and facepalmed as she cried comically.
"Somebody yank her booty off!"
"But you were the one who wanted her to go onto the stage..." A deadpan Danika says as she reaches over to pat her teacher's back to comfort her.
~[The Dragon Team vs the Huntsclan]~
"Okay, this is a bit worrisome." Lao Shi says with a nervous look as he, Kris, Jake, and Shang-Chi stand back to back as what seems to be thousands of Huntsclan Members surround them threateningly, and the Long Twins turn to share a look as they grin smugly.
"Gramps, Cus, I think it's time that we use our new super move."
"It's time for a group super move." A smirking Kris says as Lao Shi and Shang-Chi perked up and nodded as all of the Dragons reached over to grab each other's arms and closed their eyes in determination as a circle of red/pink/purple/blue fire appeared below them, and slowly lifted them up into the air as Kris and Jakes then opened their eyes as they growled.
"Dragonado!" The Long Family exclaimed in unison as the circle around them formed into a large red/pink/purple/blue tornado that swallowed them up and flew forward as they were able to pull all of the surprised Huntsclan Members into their large red/pink/purple/blue tornado as they flew around inside of it rapidly before Jake, Kris, Shang-Chi, and Lao Shi were able launch their foes away as the Male American Dragon flew up to grab the airborne magical blue scarab beetle and the Female American Dragon flew down to grab the spellbook.
"Sorry, Huntspunk, can't finish the spell without the magical scarab beetle!" A grinning Jake says as a giggling Kris nods and holds up the spellbook.
"Or without your spell book," Kris says while lighting up her hand in pink flames and setting the spellbook in pink flames, burning it to a crisp as, immediately, all of the Huntsclan Members, who were planning to attack the Dragons, immediately died again and their dead corpses crashed down into the ground as Lao Shi quickly flew over to grapple with the Huntsman just as he began firing multiple green energy blasts that blasted across the whole area and we see the Huntsgirl planning to attack the American Dragons, only for one of the Huntsman's green energy blasts to blast through Rose's left leg, causing her to scream in pain and crashed down into the ground.
"Holy shit!" A surprised Shang-Chi exclaimed as he and the others gave the Huntsgirl a worried look as she held her bleeding, injured leg.
"Shit, that looks bad!" A worried Jake says as Kris nods.
"Do you need us to give you first aid?" Kris asked just as the Huntsman was able to push off Lao Shi as he ran over to bend down and place his hand on a squirming and moaning Huntsgirl's shoulder as he glared at them stoically.
"Another day, Dragons!" The Huntsman screamed before using his huntstaff to teleport the both of them away with a flash of green light.
"Whoo-hoo! Way to go, kids!" Fu Dog cheered as Lao Shi nodded and turned to the American Dragons.
"Well done, Young Dragons." Lao Shi says as he then turns to smirk at Jake smugly. "You know, if you leave now, you can still make it back for Act 4, Scene 15."
"Thanks, G. If you'll excuse me, I have an Egyptian queen to kiss," Jake says with an excited grin while he and the others take off into the air as they fly off, and we fast forward in time as we see the gang arriving back at the Central Park Theater and the trio lands down on the ground.
"Dragon Down!" The Long Twins exclaimed in unison while Shang-Chi remained silent as they transformed back into their Human Forms with triple bursts of red, pink, and purple flames as the trio made their way inside.
"Good luck, Jake." Kris says with Shang-Chi nodding in agreement as Jake grins and makes his way over to backstage as Miss Jenkins perks up at the sight of him.
"Oh, Jake! You're just in time for the kiss! Go out there and save my play!" Miss Jenkins says with a smile while allowing Jake to go onto the stage as he walks forward and beams at the sight of Rose sitting on a bench as her left leg looks remarkably healthy.
"I am dying, Egypt, dying; only I here importune death awhile, until of many thousand kisses the poor last I lay up thy lips." Jake says while reaching over to place his hands on Rose's shoulders as he closes his eyes and leans forward with his crush grimacing a bit and puts on a fake happy smile as she closes her eyes and leans forward to share a kiss with Jake, causing everyone to cheer loudly as the curtains were dropped and the lovebirds separated from each other as Jake had a big goofy smile and a huge blush on his face.
"So, tiger, how was that?" Rose asked with a fake sly grin as Jake beamed.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect."
"Glad to hear, I loved that kiss too." Rose lied as Jake beamed.
"Ha, ha, nice...hey, you know, baby, they're doing Shakespeare on Ice in Rockefeller Center this winter, and the Mack Daddy Jake was thinking, I audition for Romeo, you Juliet, and..." Jake says before trailing off as he spotted Trixie, Danika, and Spud standing nearby as they were gesturing at him to ask her out and the American Dragon took a deep breath as he gave her a suave look. "Uh, better yet, maybe, um, we could just go out on a real date sometime, just you and me?"
"Yeah. I'd like that. Talk to you later?" Rose asked with a wink and a smile as Jake nodded excitedly.
"Definitely," Jake says with Rose turning around to walk away as Trixie, Spud, and Danika walk up to the Male American Dragon.
"Jake, you did it! You asked her out!" A smiling Danika says as Spud rolls his eyes and scoffs in exasperation.
"Finally! I was getting impatient with you!"
"I told you, Jake, you could do it. How hard was that, player?" Trixie asked with a smug grin just as a heart-eyed and blushing Jake fell backwards as he fainted, scaring the others as we cue back to the backstage, and we see Shang-Chi crossing his arms with a proud grin on his face.
"It's about damn time." Shang-Chi says before noticing that Kris is distracted due to a young teenage beautiful female blue fairy appearing on the scene with a clipboard in her hands as she flies over to the Female American Dragon.
"Sign here, please." The Fairy says as Kris nods and reaches over to grab the clipboard as she signs her name. "So, uh, is your Brother free tomorrow night?" The Fairy asked hopefully as Kris rolled her eyes.
"Get out of here," Kris said as the Fairy glared at her before huffing as she disappeared in a puff of dust.
"What you got there, Kris?" Shang-Chi asked curiously while walking over to her as Kris turned to him with a big smile on his face.
"Well, you will be happy to hear that this note comes from our friend Louise."
"Wait, really? Huh, we haven't heard of her since the Dragon Summit. I wonder how she is doing." A surprised Shang-Chi says as Kris nods while tearing the envelope in half, and a puff of smoke appears as it forms Louise's face.
"Hey, guys, long time no see huh? Sorry that I haven't messaged you guys in a while. It took my family and me about two weeks to get settled into Trollberg, and for me to finally meet my Dragon Master in person. He told me I will start my duties officially tomorrow. Feeling pretty nervous about it, not gonna lie, but I was able to make some new friends, who promised to help me out with my duties. I promise to make you guys proud." Louise says with a warm smile before the smoke cloud morphed around to show the image of a selfie that she took with her camera and it showed the image of a giggling blue-haired girl while carrying around what seems to be a blue furry dog or koala on her back, a short semi-curly brown-haired boy and a dark brown-haired girl sharing a hug with each other, Louise could be seen smiling warmly as a shoulder-length curly dark brown haired boy with pointy ears threw out bunny ears behind the back of her head, and all of them can be seen riding around in a large white boat while wearing life preserver jackets as they were hanging out in a river.
~[Post Credit Scene]~
"..." A silent Rose could be seen arriving back at her apartment as she made her way into her bathroom and closed her eyes as she took a deep breath...before immediately reaching over to grab her toothbrush and mouthwash as the blonde-haired busty girl began vigorously brushing her tongue and spitting out in disgust. "Oh god! That was so fucking gross!" Rose yelled with a glare and a huff as, while Jake was admittedly cute, he was so not her type. "She owes me big time for this!"
"How much do I owe you, Becky?" A very familiar voice rang out as Rose perked up and turned around to exit the bathroom to immediately come face to face with a girl who looked EXACTLY like her, except that she was wearing her Huntsgirl Supersuit without the mask as she also wore a white cast on her left leg and was using crutches.
"A lot. I had to kiss the boy that you like." The Now-Named Becky says while rolling her eyes and reaching up to grab onto her blonde hair as she takes it off, revealing it to be a wig as Becky goes over to grab onto a stack of clothes placed on a counter and strips off her theater clothes to put on her casual clothes as Rose makes sure to look away and only turned back when she finishes putting on her clothes.
Standing before her is a 5'8-feet-tall, 16-year-old girl with baby blue eyes, shoulder-length curly light brown hair, thin brown eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, F-Cup Breasts, Caucasian Skin, a slender hourglass figure, a big thick ass, and her outfit consisted of a long-sleeved baggy dark green opened jacket, a navy blue crop top underneath, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long blue ripped jeans, and a pair of white/black sneakers. Her name is Becky, Rose's Twin Older Sister.
"And you don't think I'm pissed? I wanted that kiss for so long, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I just had to be shot in the freaking leg." An annoyed Rose says as Becky merely crosses her arms and gives her a smug grin.
"Hey, it's not my fault that you have the worst reflexes between us."
"Screw you, Becky," Rose said with an angry look as she then huffed and looked away with a small pout on her face. "I'm sorry for saying that. I'm just really disappointed that I lost my first kiss with Jake." Rose says with a depressed look on her face as Becky pauses a bit and gives her a sly grin.
"Well, don't worry about it, sis, because you will be happy to know that Jake asked me...well, more you, out on a date tomorrow, so if you want your real kiss with him, you can wait until tomorrow."
"Really?! Yes!" Rose cheered while fist-pumping excitedly as Becky rolled her eyes playfully.
"Also, you might want to explain to him why you are suddenly in crutches."
"Oh, yeah, true, maybe I can make up a lie and say that I tripped and sprained my ankle in my home tonight," Rose says with a shrug as Becky nods, and they go over to sit down on the couch to begin talking with each other amicably.
And done. I hope that you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one.
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
