ADJL, the grand legacy, ep. 6 death of a hero
Previously, the gang started to link the person who is intervening with jake’s dreams to the huntsmaster, but to keep it safe, they put him in the neutrals. Jake also mysteriously found a sword (which according to fu dog was very powerful) beside him in his sleep and there is yet to the huntsmaster’s plan.
Rose leaves for a call from the magical world’s enemy, the huntsclan. Trixie and spud head for school after their “disputes.” Jake gets ready for school himself but fu receives a message from the messenger fairy.
Fu dog: “oh, it’s you! what is it? Wait let me guess, I swore I paid the shops bills for this month!”
Fairy: “it’s not that fu; I have a message from the dragon council. They require you to go to the island of draco immediately for a meeting.”
Fu dog: “anything else?”
Fairy: “yes, the American dragon’s in *big* trouble.”
Jake: “what was it about fu, forgot to pay the bills again I’m thinking.”
Grampa: “are you alright fu dog? You look like you’ve been sucked out of all your blood.”
Fu dog: “its worse, the dragon council is summoning us for an immediate meeting about jake exposing himself in front of 2000 people!”
Jake: “aaawwww mmmmaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!”
Meanwhile…
Trixie and spud cross through numerous electronics shops and newspaper stands, all of which has a front page about jake in his dragon form saving 2000 people, he is entitled the “red demon-angel.”
Spud: “whoa! I’ve never seen people gathering up over something not supposed to be real.”
Trixie: “well, look at the good side, at least everybody’s talking about jake like he’s a true hero.”
Later on….
Jake, grampa and fu dog reach the council corridors, the guards immediately let them in. once they reach the chamber laden with gold images, statues of dragons, pillars and magical plasma glass, jake feels a gut wrenching pang. He swallows his saliva and prepares for the dreadful.
Jake: “uh, hehe, um, hi.”
Councilor: “it is not proper for someone such us *you* to address us with “hi!” especially after what you’ve done!”
Gampa: “let me handle this jake. Councilor, I understand that jake has broken a great law, at first; I had the same thought as you councilors. But look at what he’s done-“
Councilor: “yes! We are looking at *exactly* on what he has done!”
Councilor: “he has committed a great crime which, as you know Lao Shi Long, has a very severe punishment.”
Councilor: “you disappoint us lao shi! We have allowed you to train the American dragon to protect magical creatures, and yet, he does the unthinkable!”
Grampa: “but cannot you all see jakes heroism, pride and honor?”
Councilor: “yes, we see it. But it is being over curtained with high treason!”
Fu dog: “HEY, I may be a talking dog but I won’t let anybody talk to jake about *him doing* high treason!”
Counselor: “silence, foul mutt!”
Councilor: “enough my fellow councilors, we shall now decide your punishment, be thankful that we reduced its severe ness!”
Councilor: “although you, Jacob luke long, is still to be called the American dragon, we will suspend your license and right to protect magical creatures for 30 years!”
Jake: “thirty!?! Yo, no offence, but I was doing what my grampa taught me to do, to protect, and I don’t care if what I’m supposed to protect are magical creatures only. Unlike you selfish psychos, I protect anyone, or anything in danger. Whether or not it is magical!”
Grampa: “hush young one, the judgment has been passed.”
Councilor: “now, because of you, America will lack having a magical protector for another 30 years! Now leave, we had other more important matters to attend to but your little stunt delayed it!”
Fu dog: “WE CAN GO OUT OF HERE, AND WE WILL!!!!!”
Jake: “wait, before you said that my punishment was severe, what was it?”
Councilor: “execution!!! Your heroism must still go noticed. But if you put yet another foot out of line, we will make *sure* you won’t get a second chance! Now enjoy 30 punishing years of being a local dragon!”
After that dreadful encounter, jake grampa and fu dog are halfway to the magical elevator leading them back to the train station (see American dragon ep. Dragon summit for more info) when jake notices his grandfather.
Jake: “uh, G, are you okay?”
Grampa: “…..”
Jake: “G, say something.”
Fu dog: “”
Grampa: “what, have I done wrong to deserve this?”
Jake: “what are you talking about? The punishment was for me, not for you.”
Grampa: “hours of training, wasted. All because of your doing.”
Jake: “where are you going with this?”
Grampa: “because of your actions, my dream for you is now, unachievable.”
Jake: “what!? You’re telling me that you’re siding with those freakshows now?”
Grampa: “jake, I don’t want you to enter my shop ever again. And from this day forward, find a new master.”
Jake: “what!? G, don’t do this, this is my fault, but-“
Grampa: “BUT NONE!!!!! (Chinese-Chinese)”
Jake: ““
Meanwhile…..
A part of new york city is in an uproar. People are screaming and running away in terror. Police put 500% of their fighting power, but stand defenseless and powerless against a certain invader, the huntsclan! The huntsclan has more in their arsenals now. Now they have the things rose mentioned the huntsmaster was talking to in his dream. The dark, black armor that is being worn by no one, but has bloodlust, the raydricks. Rose, beside the huntsmaster in a moving platform, complains.
Rose/huntsgirl: “So this is your new plan? You’re dumping the idea of wishing the magical world’s destruction by wreaking havoc amongst new york city? Have you gone totally insane?!”
Huntsmaster: “this is but just the beginning of my plan huntsgirl, we are bait. I am luring the only one who can stop us. And with the help of these demons, the raydricks, we shall crush him! Onward!!!!!”
Meanwhile…
Jake has just gotten through the train station, he and his grandfather with fu dog went their separate ways. He is so down that he doesn’t realize the huntsclan’s invasion of new york city. He goes slowly to his school not realizing the people running the opposite direction. When he does reach his school, he didn’t even realize that their was no rotwood nor officer to reprimand him for coming to school this late. he doesn’t even realize that students alike are worried. He goes to his classroom, only to be snapped out of his trance by his 2 best friends, trixie and spud with Nigel, the british exchange student, who happens to be a sorcerer in secret like jake as a dragon in secret.
Spud: “jake, come quick!!!”
Trixie: “take a look at this, hurry!!!”
Nigel: “in magic’s name, what has gotten into you my chap? It seems like you’ve just been crucified.”
Jake: “yeah, yeah, very funny Nigel. Now, what is it you want to show me, spuds new snot collection?[gasp!!!] the huntsclan!?! What are those hunt-yahoos up to now?”
Spud: “well, I *was* going to show you my new snot collection, but we figured that you need to know this first.”
Jake: “I’m on it!”
Jake goes to the roof, brad and professor rotwood with rotwood’s magical creature hunting rack (again) are at the corner of the building watching the huntsclan slowly passing throught the street which happens to be near jakes school now.
Brad: “aha! So the loudmouth decides to show up now, huh, does he!?!”
As brad bickers words jake can slightly notice due to a graver matter, he is deciding whether or not he will expose himself yet again to humans. Words of his encounter with the dragon council rattle in his head, with the word “execution” to end it. He finally makes the choice of doing it again.
Brad: “now this is for what we just left of-“
Jake: “dragon-up!!!!!”
Brad:(backing off) “whaaah!?! What in the- you’re- you’re the red demon-angel, the one in the ship!!!”
Jake: “I prefer to be called the American dragon! Remember it, and tell everybody about it too.”
Prof. rotwood: “Mr. long, for the past time, I have known you more, I have also learned before that you were a dragon. The vary same dragon I captured but escaped long ago, the very same dragon dr. Sigmund Broch tried to prove, but I never knew you as a hero! You could get killed in vruchenstitens name!”
Jake: “nobody can tell me when to stop being the hero, I won’t let you, nor them nor execution (mentioning his punishment which he receives for breaking the law again) stop me! Brad, rotwood, get everybody out of here as soon as possible and hurry about it!”
The huntsclan is nearly in front of his school already. Jake flies in front of them. The invasion party grinds to a halt, he notices the huntsmaster and his girlfriend rose/huntsgirl standing beside him.
Huntsmaster: “so, I was successful. You have made quite a good reputation dragon. Not only to the magical world but to my fellow men themselves”
Jake: “what it my aunt fifi’s name are you doing!?! Your fight is with me and the magical world, not to these people.”
Huntsmaster: “I know it is a necessary evil for me, but I know that this will lure you out perfectly… I have a darker agent at work, and thus I reveal to you my plan. I have made an agreement to someone a few days earlier, and we have decided not only to destroy the magical world, but to rule the world of men too!!! As the American dragon, you only have the right to protect the magical world.
Jake: “you’re wrong at that point Hunts-freak! You’re right, I am the protector of magical creatures. But while I was protecting them, I protected men too!!! Because of me, these skies are clear! Because of me, roads are filled with cars and people, until now! and besides, I’m one of them too.”
As jake exclaims his speech, people looking at the TV listen. Police at the radio broadcast hear it too. Even his parents hear it, and even his grandfather and fu dog. People then realize that for the past time, they had a hero working in secret.”
Huntsmaster: “enough of this worthless debate!!! Raydricks, attack!!!”
Jake: “hugh! Hagh! Haiya!”
Huntsmaster: “how are my new minions dragon, I believe, through my research, I think they are just as powerful as you. Each and everyone of them!!!”
Jake: “how thoughtful of you!!! At least I can fight things that are more fun than your under-trained weaklings before!!!”
Jake fights against five raydricks, two more are at the huntsmasters side whenever he needs them. The raydricks are skilled, they are nearly as skilled as jake but when they attack, jake can feel the intensity of the dark magical force inside them. Their armors are also strong enough to fend of 70% of jake’s attacks, all of which are direct blows. Jake begins to have a hard time fighting against them. He gets swomped at one point forcing him to retreat acrobatically backward. He takes a stance and he breathes heavily. He makes eye contact with rose/huntsgirl (whatever!) and begins to state via eye language to her to stay put. As he starts fighting again by lunging, he decides to try and destroy one of them at a time. Everybody in a news channel, including his parents and fu dog watch. Trixie, spud and Nigel watch him as he blocks black swords swung by the floating armors and evades attacks that would slice him in half or more! But then, fighting 5 nearly as skilled dark entities takes its toll. A raydrick swings its sword, but jakes timing was off due to other attacks thrown a him, his right arm gets slashed leaving a long wound a quarter of an inch thick!
Fu dog: “that does it, are you seeing this G, jake needs help!!!
Fu dog notices that jakes grandfather is in the back room sitting in a stool slowly releasing the steam of anger and hopelessness.
Fu dog: “nah! Forget about you! You’re too sensitive to accept what the dragon council said! What a powerful Chinese dragon you are! Now, how to help jake….. Aha! The holy avenger!!!
Fu grabs the sword by biting its handle and runs away from the store. People watch at the peculiar dog with a sword in its mouth rather than a bone. Jakes fight intensifies; warm blood starts to slowly ooze out of jakes wound. Fu dog reaches the fastest way to jake, the train station. He doesn’t even stop to imitate a little girl in order to get a ticket. He is delayed for a few seconds by a guard.
Guard: “whoa, whoa there little fella! Why do you have a sword in your mouth, you might get hurt. Now I know a bone buried by another dog 10 miles away from here! Now if you don’t mind to scurry away and I’ll just get this sword and-“
Fu dog: “DO YOU *MIND*!!!!! I HAVE A DRAGON TO SAVE FIGHTING NAKED WITH ONLY HIS FISTS FOR WEAPONS AGAINST DEMONS I HAVE *NEVER* HEARD OF AND I’M HIS ONLY BACK UP!!! SO IF *YOU* DON’T MIND TO GET *OUT* OF MY WAY!!!
The guard witnesses the dog hop past the electronic machines and goes in the train. He expresses weird faces; unidentifiable words come out of his mouth then faints. Jakes fight is lightening up, but without any protection nor an object to amplify his attacks, he is slowly being worn out. Agonizing minutes pass until finally, fu dog exits the station nearest to jake. In a few seconds, the fight is in sight. Jake was won over three of the raydricks by now (they are now just heaps of armor lying in the ground) but he is totally worn out. He gets kicked by a raydrick and gets thrown back. The other raydrick does a high jump ready to slash jake in two. Until fu dog comes in the nick of time.
Fu dog: “kid! Catch!”
Jake catches the sword and slices the raydrick in half by the waist. The now lifeless armor drops to the floor. Jake acrobatically gets up and slashes the other raydrick as well. The dark raydricks are going to be no match for jakes holy sword now.
Jake: “HA! How d’you like me now hunts-freak!?! Almost all of your “minions” are now trash! So if you want those two other raydricks to become cabinet displays, BRING IT ON!!!”
Huntsclan: “verywell… you have survived the first wave, but let’s see the power of the holy avenger against these new soldiers!”
He summons more raydricks, eight of them to be exact. But jake isn’t just fighting against 10 raydricks; the huntsmaster summoned two earth skeletons wearing the costume of a red pirate captain. They hade a huge cross tied to their back with long, dead, flowerless rose stems. They held what looked like a bible of the earth (not a catholic bible).
Huntsmaster: “let me introduce to you, the evil druids! Now, finish him!!!”
Jake: “aw-man! Well, I guess the more I take down, the harder *you’ll* fall!”
The summoning process and dialogues buyed enough time for jake to recover more than half of his energy. Jake takes a defensive stance; he couldn’t risk being worn out again. The raydricks to some of jake’s surprise, are intelligent. They form a parameter around jake, and lunge at him at the same time. He manages to block all of their swords but it doesn’t mean he got out without a scratch. The 10th sword was not properly blocked and slashed his waist. Another wound that would increase jake’s burdens. The fight continues cruelly, both sides are unpredictable. Trixie, spud, fu dog, rose and Nigel witness all of it. A raydrick manages to get out of the fight and positions itself behind jake. it attacks, jake notices it and prepares to meet his maker! But brad, holding the huge electric bola gun that he used to jake earlier, fires a bola at the raydrick therefore stunning it. Jake looks at brad and gives him a sign of appreciation. But a hit was unavoidable. This was what the evil druids where waiting for. One casts a spell that erupts a spike of earth underneath jake. The bottom part of jakes broad chest makes contact with it. The spike rises a floor higher than the school. After that, jake falls from it, his breathing tightened due to his hit, the other evil druid casts a spell that makes smaller spikes (just as tall as jake or the evil druid) erupt from it approaching jake. Jake’s back is hit by a spike, he is flung further backward until a series of spikes 2 floors high erupts from a fairly large area. Jake is hit by five spikes but slowly regains himself. Jake is now bruised and somewhat dirty, to the eyes of a reader, one will think him to look a little sexy, but to his friends, he looked pitiful. The fight lasts for another quarter of an hour; he finally was able to take down seven of the raydricks. He evades the three other raydricks and heads for the evil druids. The huntsmen near rose/huntsgirl and the huntsmaster prepare for his attack only to realize his objective. Jake expects the skeletal druids to be defenseless due to the fact they were spellcasters, but their fingers grew dead thorny flowerless rose stems. They slash and twirl them like whips; jake feels the similar dark powers of it like that of a raydrick. Still, a mage is a mage, he makes short work of one of the two but the other manages to whip jakes chest. Three, long uneven wounds appear from jakes chest, he then kills the remaining evil druid to make the raydricks to feels a sense of intimidation. This was jake’s queue, along with brad and Nigel’s help they finish the second wave. Jake faces the huntsmaster without his demons. Brad remains on the roof while trixie, spud, fu dog and Nigel appear behind jake. Spud held his sling shot while trixie held her two screw drivers, fu dog arms himself with the simple potions he could make out from the chem. Lab. Nigel is already wearing his cape, on his right hand, he held his sorcerers wand, on his left, he held a classical, antique looking pistol filed with a magical, self reloading bullet.
Jake: “ha! Beat you again hunts-freak. You think what those things you ringed would make me scared by beating me up? These things will only make me look even better and picture perfect!”
Spud: “now leave the NYC alone!”
Trixie: “yeah! Go back to your huntslair! You don’t have much of yourself now!”
Fu dog: “you think you can mess with us!?!”
Nigel: “I can make short work of the rest your minions with my magic!”
Brad: “and don’t forget about me hunts-yahoo!”
Prof. rotwood: “and me!”
Huntsmaster: “Fools!!! Do you think that I would under-estimate you so easily!?! I have an entire army of them!!! And now, I’ll make sure you meet your permanent end, American dragon!!! You know what they say, third time’s the charm!!! Behold, the elites!!! Come, serve your dark master!”
Spud:(whispers to trixie) “since when did the huntsmaster call himself dark?”
The next wave included a lesser number of warriors. There were 2 raydricks, and three other new soldiers, the footman elites, kalitzburg, another three raydricks were summoned, but they were holding bows and arrows. Another pair of evil druids were summoned catching nigels attention. And finally, the last of the elites came out, its power so vile, that the aura of the huntsmasters teleportation spell was being corrupted. A huge monster who has 4 limbs like that of humans emerged, it was plated with armor and it held a huge sword. The sword was like that of the raydricks but in a super huge scale. This entity rode a darkmare bigger than life. It is called the abysmal knight!
Huntsmaster: “behold, the kalitzburg, the raydrick archers, and, the abysmal knight!”
Brad: “looks like this is an all-out war!”
Nigel: “this is going to be fun!”
Huntsmaster: “ATTACK!!!”
Jake: “CHARGE!!!”
Jake and trixie, the front liners where in the fight first. Trixie focused on the raydricks while spud assists her with his yo-yo returning while attached to a sling thing. Nigel, being a dashing sorcerer, taunts the druids. The druids did not respond to it well, so they sent the smaller spiked spells to him. To counter, Nigel jumps forwardly into the air and using his magic, breathes fire on the approaching spikes. The force of his spell was continually propelling him upward and backward. Finally all three spells are finished. Jake faces the three kalitzburg. He goes into the air and breathes fire at them delivering weak but continuous damage. Fu dog drops a teleport potion, from the shattered glass came out a portal which potions came out, the dog then throws the potion to the raydricks and raydrick archers. Brad was continually firing electric bolas from the gun. Rotwood himself fires a less powerful beam-gun. As the fight lasted, Jake was slashed by the kalitzburg to his thigh but he returns the favor by thrusting the holy avenger into it and breathes fire to it. It is killed and thrown back; trixie replaces her weak screwdrivers with daggers from the kalitzburg’s reserves. Spud too gets a new weapon. As fu introduced a new exploding potion into the battle field, it caught the raydrick archer off guard. It was knocked down, through the smoke and confusion; spud runs to it and steals its bow and arrows. The two others attempted to fight back; spud swings his sling to the left to countermeasure the closest archer. He spins to the right once but his weapon seemed to spin twice blocking an arrow and hitting the raydrick again. Lastly, he whips his slings forward knocking both raydricks down. The raydrick he stole from grabbed his arm but trixie managed to kill it just in time. Fu dog’s potion attacks improve yet again; he grabbed a potion bag which he used as a sling to fling 5 potions at a time to the oppressors. The druids continually throw the same two spells at Nigel. Nigel using a wide variety of spells manage to stun them with a plant sprouting spell, he then uses earths weakness, fire against them. The druids go down. Jake yet again avails two more wounds. One on the lower leg and one at the cheek. Rose sees this and attempts to help. The Huntsmaster thinking rose was to kill jake stops her and lets his minions do all the dirty work. Mysteriously, the abysmal knight, even though occasionally receiving, acid/bomb potions from fu dog, spells and bullets from Nigel, fire breathes from jake, arrows from spud and projectiles from brad and Rotwood still doesn’t move. It’s like, it wants the rest of its allies dead. The team teams up on the remaining two other kalitzburg and kills them. Jake was so tired that he didn’t even assume his stance, he was breathing heavily. Everybody was taking deep breathes as well through the intensity of the battle. They were all facing the abysmal knight. After regaining their breaths, they charge at the last summon. This was their dreadful mistake. The knight was too powerful for all of them. First, it targets Nigel. The sheer force of its sword swing sent Nigel flying backward to the school wall with dash lines (repetition of the persons image due to speed), even though he casted a blocking spell then, we was hurt, but still awake. The knight does the same to trixie and spud flinging them to the opposite building so hard that the entire building experienced shock waves. They were barely awake. Fu dog then throws a flurry of potions at the demon. He manages to throw two more sets before being kicked by the darkmares back feet. He was sent flying to brad and Rotwood. Brad ducks to evade the attack so fu dog hits Rotwood instead. Both then are knocked out. What’s left now is jake. it again uses only the swinging power of his sword. After jake is caught by its force, he is swung nearly 330 degrees before the knight changed the direction of the slash, this time it headed upward. Jake, after experiencing this is extremely hurt. His holy avenger flew as high as him before impaling itself to the cement beside brad. As jake falls, the knight strikes using the flat side of the sword sending jake to the hard road. It was so powerful that the ground affected itself flew 2 floors to the air. The huntsmaster was right, third time is the charm. The American dragon has fallen, people watching or hearing this event gasps at his sight. Jake was two weak to get up, the knight was his death sentence. Two huntsmen pick him up to be slain by the huntsmaster.
Huntsmaster: “better luck next time. Oh, there won’t be a next time! Huntsgirl!!! Finish him off for me would you?”
Huntsgirl/rose: “what? Master I-“
Jake:(gets attention of rose/huntsgirl speaks via eye language) “[do it!]”
Huntsgirl/Rose: “”
Jake: “[now, it’s your turn, you don’t have a choice]”
Huntsmaster: “FINISH HIM!!!”
Huntsgirl/rose: “[I, I, - I’m sorry]”
Rose charges up her huntsstaff, she looks away so she could not see herself killing her boyfriend. The beam is created; jake slowly closed his eyes to rest for eternity. He is hit and thrown back. The American dragon, protagonist of the ADJL franchise, is dead.
Huntsmaster: “the American dragon is slain!!!”
People with TV and radios are moaning to hear this cry of victory, even jakes grandfather, is shocked to hear the death of his grandson. He then wishes that he was there.
Huntsmaster: “now, to reveal the American dragon’s identity, his human form!”
He takes a small potion from his utility belt. He uses a drop from it and jake transformed into his human form.
Huntsmaster: “so, the American dragon is a kid, a worthless loss for such a foolish act. Huntsgirl, come, we must celebrate.”
Jakes parents, especially his father were the loudest to mourn. Rose had another thing in store this time. In anger brad targets Huntsgirl not knowing she is rose. Huntsgirl takes of her mask with elegance shocking brad yet again! She points her staff at the huntsmaster and shoots a beam knocking him down, the huntsmen were shocked to see this.
Huntsmaster: “Huntsgirl! What is the meaning of this!?!”
Rose: “you foul evil, loathing, over-cruel person!!! Because of you, you made me kill my boyfriend, the only one who loved me, unlike you who only used me your tool!!!
Huntsmaster: “so, you have an affair? Well, I’m not the one who did this.”
Huntsgirl: “at least I’m not allowing you to take his hide!”
Huntsgirl picks up her dead boyfriend and uses her ninjitsu skills to run against the wall and jump on tops of buildings. The abysmal knight attempts to follow her but brad shoots a bola and Nigel shoots a stunning spell to immobilize it temporarily, the huntsmaster exclaims to ignore them and told it to chase her. As the abysmal knight took its first jump, a familiar person wearing a cloak, a short pointy wizards hat with a star on top is in the alley below it. He uses an earth spike like the evil druids casted. Unfortunately, it missed Nigel notices this person. The person sees that he is compromised and teleports away. Rose jumps from building to building, she slowly looses the abysmal knight but then, bad luck strikes. The potion the huntsmaster administered had worn off. Jake transformed back to a dragon. The heavier load made the knight gain in on her. Rose attempts a jump from another building to the next but trips. Both are sent spinning in the ground. Rose holds jake’s lifeless hand. The knight goes to her front and using its sword force to knock her out

After that dreadful encounter, jake grampa and fu dog are halfway to the magical elevator leading them back to the train station (see American dragon ep. Dragon summit for more info) when jake notices his grandfather.
Jake: “uh, G, are you okay?”
Grampa: “…..”
Jake: “G, say something.”
Fu dog: “”
Grampa: “what, have I done wrong to deserve this?”

A part of new york city is in an uproar. People are screaming and running away in terror. Police put 500% of their fighting power, but stand defenseless and powerless against a certain invader, the huntsclan! The huntsclan has more in their arsenals now. Now they have the things rose mentioned the huntsmaster was talking to in his dream. The dark, black armor that is being worn by no one, but has bloodlust, the raydricks. Rose, beside the huntsmaster in a moving platform, complains.
Rose/huntsgirl: “So this is your new plan? You’re dumping the idea of wishing the magical world’s destruction by wreaking havoc amongst new york city? Have you gone totally insane?!”
Huntsmaster: “this is but just the beginning of my plan huntsgirl, we are bait. I am luring the only one who can stop us. And with the help of these demons, the raydricks, we shall crush him! Onward!!!!!”
Meanwhile…
Jake has just gotten through the train station, he and his grandfather with fu dog went their separate ways. He is so down that he doesn’t realize the huntsclan’s invasion of new york city. He goes slowly to his school not realizing the people running the opposite direction. When he does reach his school, he didn’t even realize that their was no rotwood nor officer to reprimand him for coming to school this late. he doesn’t even realize that students alike are worried. He goes to his classroom, only to be snapped out of his trance by his 2 best friends, trixie and spud with Nigel, the british exchange student, who happens to be a sorcerer in secret like jake as a dragon in secret.
Spud: “jake, come quick!!!”
Trixie: “take a look at this, hurry!!!”
Nigel: “in magic’s name, what has gotten into you my chap? It seems like you’ve just been crucified.”
Jake: “yeah, yeah, very funny Nigel. Now, what is it you want to show me, spuds new snot collection?[gasp!!!] the huntsclan!?! What are those hunt-yahoos up to now?”
Spud: “well, I *was* going to show you my new snot collection, but we figured that you need to know this first.”
Jake: “I’m on it!”
Jake goes to the roof, brad and professor rotwood with rotwood’s magical creature hunting rack (again) are at the corner of the building watching the huntsclan slowly passing throught the street which happens to be near jakes school now.
Brad: “aha! So the loudmouth decides to show up now, huh, does he!?!”
As brad bickers words jake can slightly notice due to a graver matter, he is deciding whether or not he will expose himself yet again to humans. Words of his encounter with the dragon council rattle in his head, with the word “execution” to end it. He finally makes the choice of doing it again.
Brad: “now this is for what we just left of-“
Jake: “dragon-up!!!!!”
Brad:(backing off) “whaaah!?! What in the- you’re- you’re the red demon-angel, the one in the ship!!!”
Jake: “I prefer to be called the American dragon! Remember it, and tell everybody about it too.”
Prof. rotwood: “Mr. long, for the past time, I have known you more, I have also learned before that you were a dragon. The vary same dragon I captured but escaped long ago, the very same dragon dr. Sigmund Broch tried to prove, but I never knew you as a hero! You could get killed in vruchenstitens name!”
Jake: “nobody can tell me when to stop being the hero, I won’t let you, nor them nor execution (mentioning his punishment which he receives for breaking the law again) stop me! Brad, rotwood, get everybody out of here as soon as possible and hurry about it!”
The huntsclan is nearly in front of his school already. Jake flies in front of them. The invasion party grinds to a halt, he notices the huntsmaster and his girlfriend rose/huntsgirl standing beside him.
Huntsmaster: “so, I was successful. You have made quite a good reputation dragon. Not only to the magical world but to my fellow men themselves”
Jake: “what it my aunt fifi’s name are you doing!?! Your fight is with me and the magical world, not to these people.”
Huntsmaster: “I know it is a necessary evil for me, but I know that this will lure you out perfectly… I have a darker agent at work, and thus I reveal to you my plan. I have made an agreement to someone a few days earlier, and we have decided not only to destroy the magical world, but to rule the world of men too!!! As the American dragon, you only have the right to protect the magical world.
Jake: “you’re wrong at that point Hunts-freak! You’re right, I am the protector of magical creatures. But while I was protecting them, I protected men too!!! Because of me, these skies are clear! Because of me, roads are filled with cars and people, until now! and besides, I’m one of them too.”
As jake exclaims his speech, people looking at the TV listen. Police at the radio broadcast hear it too. Even his parents hear it, and even his grandfather and fu dog. People then realize that for the past time, they had a hero working in secret.”
Huntsmaster: “enough of this worthless debate!!! Raydricks, attack!!!”
Jake: “hugh! Hagh! Haiya!”
Huntsmaster: “how are my new minions dragon, I believe, through my research, I think they are just as powerful as you. Each and everyone of them!!!”
Jake: “how thoughtful of you!!! At least I can fight things that are more fun than your under-trained weaklings before!!!”
Jake fights against five raydricks, two more are at the huntsmasters side whenever he needs them. The raydricks are skilled, they are nearly as skilled as jake but when they attack, jake can feel the intensity of the dark magical force inside them. Their armors are also strong enough to fend of 70% of jake’s attacks, all of which are direct blows. Jake begins to have a hard time fighting against them. He gets swomped at one point forcing him to retreat acrobatically backward. He takes a stance and he breathes heavily. He makes eye contact with rose/huntsgirl (whatever!) and begins to state via eye language to her to stay put. As he starts fighting again by lunging, he decides to try and destroy one of them at a time. Everybody in a news channel, including his parents and fu dog watch. Trixie, spud and Nigel watch him as he blocks black swords swung by the floating armors and evades attacks that would slice him in half or more! But then, fighting 5 nearly as skilled dark entities takes its toll. A raydrick swings its sword, but jakes timing was off due to other attacks thrown a him, his right arm gets slashed leaving a long wound a quarter of an inch thick!
Fu dog: “that does it, are you seeing this G, jake needs help!!!
Fu dog notices that jakes grandfather is in the back room sitting in a stool slowly releasing the steam of anger and hopelessness.
Fu dog: “nah! Forget about you! You’re too sensitive to accept what the dragon council said! What a powerful Chinese dragon you are! Now, how to help jake….. Aha! The holy avenger!!!
Fu grabs the sword by biting its handle and runs away from the store. People watch at the peculiar dog with a sword in its mouth rather than a bone. Jakes fight intensifies; warm blood starts to slowly ooze out of jakes wound. Fu dog reaches the fastest way to jake, the train station. He doesn’t even stop to imitate a little girl in order to get a ticket. He is delayed for a few seconds by a guard.
Guard: “whoa, whoa there little fella! Why do you have a sword in your mouth, you might get hurt. Now I know a bone buried by another dog 10 miles away from here! Now if you don’t mind to scurry away and I’ll just get this sword and-“
Fu dog: “DO YOU *MIND*!!!!! I HAVE A DRAGON TO SAVE FIGHTING NAKED WITH ONLY HIS FISTS FOR WEAPONS AGAINST DEMONS I HAVE *NEVER* HEARD OF AND I’M HIS ONLY BACK UP!!! SO IF *YOU* DON’T MIND TO GET *OUT* OF MY WAY!!!
The guard witnesses the dog hop past the electronic machines and goes in the train. He expresses weird faces; unidentifiable words come out of his mouth then faints. Jakes fight is lightening up, but without any protection nor an object to amplify his attacks, he is slowly being worn out. Agonizing minutes pass until finally, fu dog exits the station nearest to jake. In a few seconds, the fight is in sight. Jake was won over three of the raydricks by now (they are now just heaps of armor lying in the ground) but he is totally worn out. He gets kicked by a raydrick and gets thrown back. The other raydrick does a high jump ready to slash jake in two. Until fu dog comes in the nick of time.
Fu dog: “kid! Catch!”
Jake catches the sword and slices the raydrick in half by the waist. The now lifeless armor drops to the floor. Jake acrobatically gets up and slashes the other raydrick as well. The dark raydricks are going to be no match for jakes holy sword now.
Jake: “HA! How d’you like me now hunts-freak!?! Almost all of your “minions” are now trash! So if you want those two other raydricks to become cabinet displays, BRING IT ON!!!”
Huntsclan: “verywell… you have survived the first wave, but let’s see the power of the holy avenger against these new soldiers!”
He summons more raydricks, eight of them to be exact. But jake isn’t just fighting against 10 raydricks; the huntsmaster summoned two earth skeletons wearing the costume of a red pirate captain. They hade a huge cross tied to their back with long, dead, flowerless rose stems. They held what looked like a bible of the earth (not a catholic bible).
Huntsmaster: “let me introduce to you, the evil druids! Now, finish him!!!”
Jake: “aw-man! Well, I guess the more I take down, the harder *you’ll* fall!”
The summoning process and dialogues buyed enough time for jake to recover more than half of his energy. Jake takes a defensive stance; he couldn’t risk being worn out again. The raydricks to some of jake’s surprise, are intelligent. They form a parameter around jake, and lunge at him at the same time. He manages to block all of their swords but it doesn’t mean he got out without a scratch. The 10th sword was not properly blocked and slashed his waist. Another wound that would increase jake’s burdens. The fight continues cruelly, both sides are unpredictable. Trixie, spud, fu dog, rose and Nigel witness all of it. A raydrick manages to get out of the fight and positions itself behind jake. it attacks, jake notices it and prepares to meet his maker! But brad, holding the huge electric bola gun that he used to jake earlier, fires a bola at the raydrick therefore stunning it. Jake looks at brad and gives him a sign of appreciation. But a hit was unavoidable. This was what the evil druids where waiting for. One casts a spell that erupts a spike of earth underneath jake. The bottom part of jakes broad chest makes contact with it. The spike rises a floor higher than the school. After that, jake falls from it, his breathing tightened due to his hit, the other evil druid casts a spell that makes smaller spikes (just as tall as jake or the evil druid) erupt from it approaching jake. Jake’s back is hit by a spike, he is flung further backward until a series of spikes 2 floors high erupts from a fairly large area. Jake is hit by five spikes but slowly regains himself. Jake is now bruised and somewhat dirty, to the eyes of a reader, one will think him to look a little sexy, but to his friends, he looked pitiful. The fight lasts for another quarter of an hour; he finally was able to take down seven of the raydricks. He evades the three other raydricks and heads for the evil druids. The huntsmen near rose/huntsgirl and the huntsmaster prepare for his attack only to realize his objective. Jake expects the skeletal druids to be defenseless due to the fact they were spellcasters, but their fingers grew dead thorny flowerless rose stems. They slash and twirl them like whips; jake feels the similar dark powers of it like that of a raydrick. Still, a mage is a mage, he makes short work of one of the two but the other manages to whip jakes chest. Three, long uneven wounds appear from jakes chest, he then kills the remaining evil druid to make the raydricks to feels a sense of intimidation. This was jake’s queue, along with brad and Nigel’s help they finish the second wave. Jake faces the huntsmaster without his demons. Brad remains on the roof while trixie, spud, fu dog and Nigel appear behind jake. Spud held his sling shot while trixie held her two screw drivers, fu dog arms himself with the simple potions he could make out from the chem. Lab. Nigel is already wearing his cape, on his right hand, he held his sorcerers wand, on his left, he held a classical, antique looking pistol filed with a magical, self reloading bullet.
Jake: “ha! Beat you again hunts-freak. You think what those things you ringed would make me scared by beating me up? These things will only make me look even better and picture perfect!”
Spud: “now leave the NYC alone!”
Trixie: “yeah! Go back to your huntslair! You don’t have much of yourself now!”
Fu dog: “you think you can mess with us!?!”
Nigel: “I can make short work of the rest your minions with my magic!”
Brad: “and don’t forget about me hunts-yahoo!”
Prof. rotwood: “and me!”
Huntsmaster: “Fools!!! Do you think that I would under-estimate you so easily!?! I have an entire army of them!!! And now, I’ll make sure you meet your permanent end, American dragon!!! You know what they say, third time’s the charm!!! Behold, the elites!!! Come, serve your dark master!”
Spud:(whispers to trixie) “since when did the huntsmaster call himself dark?”
The next wave included a lesser number of warriors. There were 2 raydricks, and three other new soldiers, the footman elites, kalitzburg, another three raydricks were summoned, but they were holding bows and arrows. Another pair of evil druids were summoned catching nigels attention. And finally, the last of the elites came out, its power so vile, that the aura of the huntsmasters teleportation spell was being corrupted. A huge monster who has 4 limbs like that of humans emerged, it was plated with armor and it held a huge sword. The sword was like that of the raydricks but in a super huge scale. This entity rode a darkmare bigger than life. It is called the abysmal knight!
Huntsmaster: “behold, the kalitzburg, the raydrick archers, and, the abysmal knight!”
Brad: “looks like this is an all-out war!”
Nigel: “this is going to be fun!”
Huntsmaster: “ATTACK!!!”
Jake: “CHARGE!!!”
Jake and trixie, the front liners where in the fight first. Trixie focused on the raydricks while spud assists her with his yo-yo returning while attached to a sling thing. Nigel, being a dashing sorcerer, taunts the druids. The druids did not respond to it well, so they sent the smaller spiked spells to him. To counter, Nigel jumps forwardly into the air and using his magic, breathes fire on the approaching spikes. The force of his spell was continually propelling him upward and backward. Finally all three spells are finished. Jake faces the three kalitzburg. He goes into the air and breathes fire at them delivering weak but continuous damage. Fu dog drops a teleport potion, from the shattered glass came out a portal which potions came out, the dog then throws the potion to the raydricks and raydrick archers. Brad was continually firing electric bolas from the gun. Rotwood himself fires a less powerful beam-gun. As the fight lasted, Jake was slashed by the kalitzburg to his thigh but he returns the favor by thrusting the holy avenger into it and breathes fire to it. It is killed and thrown back; trixie replaces her weak screwdrivers with daggers from the kalitzburg’s reserves. Spud too gets a new weapon. As fu introduced a new exploding potion into the battle field, it caught the raydrick archer off guard. It was knocked down, through the smoke and confusion; spud runs to it and steals its bow and arrows. The two others attempted to fight back; spud swings his sling to the left to countermeasure the closest archer. He spins to the right once but his weapon seemed to spin twice blocking an arrow and hitting the raydrick again. Lastly, he whips his slings forward knocking both raydricks down. The raydrick he stole from grabbed his arm but trixie managed to kill it just in time. Fu dog’s potion attacks improve yet again; he grabbed a potion bag which he used as a sling to fling 5 potions at a time to the oppressors. The druids continually throw the same two spells at Nigel. Nigel using a wide variety of spells manage to stun them with a plant sprouting spell, he then uses earths weakness, fire against them. The druids go down. Jake yet again avails two more wounds. One on the lower leg and one at the cheek. Rose sees this and attempts to help. The Huntsmaster thinking rose was to kill jake stops her and lets his minions do all the dirty work. Mysteriously, the abysmal knight, even though occasionally receiving, acid/bomb potions from fu dog, spells and bullets from Nigel, fire breathes from jake, arrows from spud and projectiles from brad and Rotwood still doesn’t move. It’s like, it wants the rest of its allies dead. The team teams up on the remaining two other kalitzburg and kills them. Jake was so tired that he didn’t even assume his stance, he was breathing heavily. Everybody was taking deep breathes as well through the intensity of the battle. They were all facing the abysmal knight. After regaining their breaths, they charge at the last summon. This was their dreadful mistake. The knight was too powerful for all of them. First, it targets Nigel. The sheer force of its sword swing sent Nigel flying backward to the school wall with dash lines (repetition of the persons image due to speed), even though he casted a blocking spell then, we was hurt, but still awake. The knight does the same to trixie and spud flinging them to the opposite building so hard that the entire building experienced shock waves. They were barely awake. Fu dog then throws a flurry of potions at the demon. He manages to throw two more sets before being kicked by the darkmares back feet. He was sent flying to brad and Rotwood. Brad ducks to evade the attack so fu dog hits Rotwood instead. Both then are knocked out. What’s left now is jake. it again uses only the swinging power of his sword. After jake is caught by its force, he is swung nearly 330 degrees before the knight changed the direction of the slash, this time it headed upward. Jake, after experiencing this is extremely hurt. His holy avenger flew as high as him before impaling itself to the cement beside brad. As jake falls, the knight strikes using the flat side of the sword sending jake to the hard road. It was so powerful that the ground affected itself flew 2 floors to the air. The huntsmaster was right, third time is the charm. The American dragon has fallen, people watching or hearing this event gasps at his sight. Jake was two weak to get up, the knight was his death sentence. Two huntsmen pick him up to be slain by the huntsmaster.
Huntsmaster: “better luck next time. Oh, there won’t be a next time! Huntsgirl!!! Finish him off for me would you?”
Huntsgirl/rose: “what? Master I-“
Jake:(gets attention of rose/huntsgirl speaks via eye language) “[do it!]”
Huntsgirl/Rose: “”
Jake: “[now, it’s your turn, you don’t have a choice]”
Huntsmaster: “FINISH HIM!!!”
Huntsgirl/rose: “[I, I, - I’m sorry]”
Rose charges up her huntsstaff, she looks away so she could not see herself killing her boyfriend. The beam is created; jake slowly closed his eyes to rest for eternity. He is hit and thrown back. The American dragon, protagonist of the ADJL franchise, is dead.
Huntsmaster: “the American dragon is slain!!!”
People with TV and radios are moaning to hear this cry of victory, even jakes grandfather, is shocked to hear the death of his grandson. He then wishes that he was there.
Huntsmaster: “now, to reveal the American dragon’s identity, his human form!”
He takes a small potion from his utility belt. He uses a drop from it and jake transformed into his human form.
Huntsmaster: “so, the American dragon is a kid, a worthless loss for such a foolish act. Huntsgirl, come, we must celebrate.”
Jakes parents, especially his father were the loudest to mourn. Rose had another thing in store this time. In anger brad targets Huntsgirl not knowing she is rose. Huntsgirl takes of her mask with elegance shocking brad yet again! She points her staff at the huntsmaster and shoots a beam knocking him down, the huntsmen were shocked to see this.
Huntsmaster: “Huntsgirl! What is the meaning of this!?!”
Rose: “you foul evil, loathing, over-cruel person!!! Because of you, you made me kill my boyfriend, the only one who loved me, unlike you who only used me your tool!!!
Huntsmaster: “so, you have an affair? Well, I’m not the one who did this.”
Huntsgirl: “at least I’m not allowing you to take his hide!”
Huntsgirl picks up her dead boyfriend and uses her ninjitsu skills to run against the wall and jump on tops of buildings. The abysmal knight attempts to follow her but brad shoots a bola and Nigel shoots a stunning spell to immobilize it temporarily, the huntsmaster exclaims to ignore them and told it to chase her. As the abysmal knight took its first jump, a familiar person wearing a cloak, a short pointy wizards hat with a star on top is in the alley below it. He uses an earth spike like the evil druids casted. Unfortunately, it missed Nigel notices this person. The person sees that he is compromised and teleports away. Rose jumps from building to building, she slowly looses the abysmal knight but then, bad luck strikes. The potion the huntsmaster administered had worn off. Jake transformed back to a dragon. The heavier load made the knight gain in on her. Rose attempts a jump from another building to the next but trips. Both are sent spinning in the ground. Rose holds jake’s lifeless hand. The knight goes to her front and using its sword force to knock her out
To be continued…
