Chapter 20: Battle of Best Friends Part 2/DWC Round 8/James’ House
Morning arise on the borders of Draco Island, James was still sleeping in his bed in the hospital, as for Welsh, he was allow to go back to his own bed, since his injuries was clean up. Jake on other hand was still up, he did get some sleep, but he was worried for himself about this that he never faces someone like his best friend before… (“Out all of my friends, why it had to be James, I kind of knew this will happen, but I didn’t know it would be him, however I think this was what Dreamcatcher was talking about, oh darn it, it is. Well I do my best, because my parents cannot afford a house, though that wish bowl might come in handy for it, with the money, I will have more than enough to survive on.”)
Jake got up and went outside and saw the morning sunrise, he look up and down, he breathe deeply and then went back inside to lays on his bed. James finally open his eyes and got up, and notice he was alone in the hospital, there was a note left on the table next to him, he pick it up and read it…
“James, you’re allowed to go back to your room, your injuries are healed, have a good day and good luck.”
-Dr. Joker
James smiles and gets up and go to his bed and sleeps.
Lah shi, was already up making breakfast in James house, the food he was making, was good, and for some reason the food was finish above the average time, it seems like the house they were in was built for the future. Beside that Lah shi continues to cook breakfast. Trixe went up stairs to James’ room, though no one was allow being up there, she went there anyway the curious girl she is, she look around and notice a lot of stuff.
Spud was still sleeping on the couch, and Haley was sitting down on the other couch and watching TV, the TV wasn’t loud so spud was able to hear it. However she is worried about her big brother and James in the battle they are about to face today, worried that somebody might get hurt, also she fears for the Dark Dragon, she never faced up to him before alone.
“Wow this room has a lot of stuff in here, but it’s so neat, heh” Trixe said.
James’ Room was full with picture of his best friends in middle and High School (which is Trixe, Jake and Spud). She still look around in the room and found other neat stuff, like trophies for winning games, such as bowling, also there is a computers he uses to talk to people, however the most thing that made Trixe’s eyes open is the closet, something was shining in there, when she open it, the light was left on in the closet, she turn it off, and also saw another thing, she saw a portal that leads straight to Draco island, but when she put her hand in there, the portal closed off. Which Scare her and made her close the closet door.
Spud finally got up and smells the breakfast that Lah shi was making, and it was finally ready.
“Trixe, Spud, Haley and Fu Dog, Breakfast is ready, come and get it!” He yelled and coughs a bit.
Trixe heard her name called, and before she left, she saw a letter on the desk that was about James’ Parents of how they died and everything, what she didn’t notice that was part of James’ Journal. However she puts it back and runs down the stairs.
Kevin got up finally and was in his room and notice this was the time to see who will be crown king of all Dragons. He made sure everything was set for today event, with the help of Raffi and Ash there; everything will go as well as plan. (“I hope everything goes well with this contest, because the last one wasn’t good, I kind of lie to James of what happen for last year contest, the person that won the contest and actually did give the wish bowl to help his friend, but that friend was the Dark Dragon, but as a human form, he was good, but full with anger due to the way the planet works, he hating be a human, that why he wish to stay as dragon for the rest of his life. Once that happen, he became evil and have followers with him, to do his dirty work, this won’t happen this time, I will make sure of it!”)
James wakes up and goes to the café and notices there were only some dragons left, almost half of them left the island due to losing the contest. He sighed a bit, but sat on the chair and waited for breakfast to be served; meanwhile he had other things in his mind, because a few nights ago he had a dream vision of how the crash happens to his parents…
[glow=white,2,300]{{{Flash Back}}}[/glow]
Peter and Penny were on they ride home from the party and they pick up a gift for James, since he was getting his powers back.
“I’m glad for my son; I knew he had in him; however I couldn’t believe they had Followers at that place, where was that security at that time, kind of make you wonder what Dark dragon is planning.” Peter said as he driving down the road.
“Yeah I know, but the main thing, we are happy for our son to get his powers back and by this time right now, he should have got his powers” Penny said.
Peter nods and stops at a light, and when it begins to turn green another car zips down the other road hits directly on Peter’s car, killing them without question.
James knows this part, but what James dream show more than this, the people that killed James’ Parents, was the Dark Dragon Followers. However the followers were also dead in the crash.
[glow=white,2,300]{{Flash Back ended}}}[/glow]
“Nooo!!!!” James Scream out loud, but as again the café was empty and no one was around, suddenly Rose came up to James and sat down to him.
“You’re ok James; you look a little off today.” Rose said.
“I’m ok, just had another flashback memory” James said.
“Ah ok, you know this battle between you and Jake, will be the biggest one you two ever faced, who would of thought you battle your best friend to win something important, though I don’t know what the stakes are in this.” Rose Said.
“Well there is some stakes in for me, which I will need to win, and I won’t back down from this and give my all to him” James said.
Rose nod and smiles for a bit, but however she was worried about this, everything was making their friend turn into enemies and the other way around. However she kept her self clear of it and continues to talk to James to make him a bit feel better and have some support.
Jake started to wake up and kept a happy face, because he has contest to win, he doesn’t want to lose , however at the same time he doesn’t want to hurt his best friend in this battle either. However he has too much at stake to lose. This is what happen to Jake during the time, when his roof was falling down…
[glow=white,2,300]{{Flash Back}}[/glow]
On the night before the DWC ever began, Jake was sleeping during the night a bad wind storm came and begin to blow on top of the roof, and a few minutes the roof started to collapse and it started to leak throughout the house. It started to leak in Haley Room, which one of the rain drops hit on Haley head and she begins to scream. Jake heard the scream and in the flash of lighting he came into Haley’s room and saw the leak, which the scream also woke up mom and Dad.
“AHHH!!!” Haley’s Scream.
“Haley, what’s going on and what with the screaming?” Jake said.
Mom and Dad walk in… Haley points to the top of the wall.
“Oo we have a leak” Susan said.
“That’s not good” Jake said.
Haley move away from the leak and came close to Jake.
“Haley better stay downstairs in the couch, so you will be safe” Susan said.
Haley nodded and went downstairs, Jake went back to his room and Mom and Dad went back to bed
The next day came, and when Jake overheard the amount of money it will cost to fix up the house, Susan didn’t had the money to fixed it up, which John couldn’t do anything either. So they had no plan to fix the roof up, and with their insurance not helping, I have no money to fix it up, and they be forced to move to grandpa house. Jake didn’t want that, that happen already when the Dark dragon attack the house and the they had to make an excuse to get fixed, which it did work, but since it happen again, they can’t do it the second time, so when Jake got the notice about this contest, he put himself in and was qualified to enter.
[glow=white,2,300]{{{Flash back ended}}}[/glow]
(“I can’t lose this, I know what I have to do, I have to give it my all, and show who the best dragon out there is”) Jake said in his mind. He gets up from his bed and sighs for a bit then goes to the door, he opens the door and there was a person outside his door and it was Dreamcatcher.
“Heya Jake, surprise to see me?” DC said.
“Somewhat, but I can’t believe you can see things into the future” Jake said.
“Heh, you believe it now? I know what’s been going on, however this part of the time of this event has been clouded, all I know is that I’m rooting for you to win, but be careful Jake, this has happen in the past before with friends turning into their rivals. Good luck”
DC said and ran off.
“Thanks Dream Catcher” Jake said, as he begins to walk out of
his room and bumps into James.
James was finishing talking to Rose, and he felt better, and both of them look at each other and kept quiet for almost a minute, until finally James lay out his hand and said “Jake I wish you good luck, no matter what happens here, I’m your best friend and I will continue to be that way until then” after he said that he smile.
“James I really thank you, but do know this, I won’t go easy on you, as I expect from you the same, and I want you to give it your all” Jake said.
“Don’t worry I will give it my all” James said and winks.
After that talk, Kevin passes by and tells them to get ready for the event…
“Hello everyone and good Afternoon, on this beautiful day at Draco Island, I’m Tom your host, my sis Caroline and our good friend John is not here yet, but he will be joining us Shortly for the final event at DWC, this is Day 8 of the contest, and it comes down to this, two wild card champions and the two finalist that came a long way of winning, are now fighting each other to win the DWC Cup, with including the 5 thousand dollars and a wish bowl. That will be a great gift to go home with. Jake and James will be going through a one hell of event; this is the event like no other, how this is set up is that they have to pass three rings, but between those three rings, they have to do some courses in them, once it’s complete they can past the ring and move on to the next, one of them will require not to use their wings , meaning the minute they land, they will need to run on foot to win the final course and win the event. Hopefully this will go well.” Tom said.
Jake was in the locker room, thinking again of everything he went through with James, everything was relying on this one match that would either get everything he needed or nothing at all. (“… I know this is hard for me, and coming down to this, I feel like this is it, it’s all or nothing, if I can’t win against James, that’s ok, I’m still his friend and that what all matters, however through with my family on the line, I can’t give up on this. Ready or not James, here I come to do this and win with all my might and heart”) Jake started to cry a bit, but he clear it up and wash his face.
Raffi knock on the door and said “it’s time Jake”
“Ok I’m coming” Jake said. He walk toward the door and walks outside under the tunnel.
Meanwhile James, was going through his memories with Jake of how far they went through, and then having a flash back again with his parents dying in the car crash from the Dark Dragon followers. He was sitting down for a long time, he told Ash he be at the door in five minutes, (“…Just as I thought I was going to win this easily, I have to face yet another best friend of mine, and this is too much, I feel like I can’t do this, but … I can’t give up while I’m ahead, I won’t lose my family that gave me this gift, I love being a Dragon, it was my dream to be one and protect the world from danger, however though if I lose this, I might lose my powers, because I have no one to take care of me, though I have been doing a good job for myself. I know I can do this, it all or nothing, this is it, I love you mom and dad and this is for you, to show how much your son learn!!”) He punches a locker and then goes to the door and opens it up with Ash beside him.
“I wish you good luck James, I hope you win” Ash Said.
“Thank Ash” James said and smiles. He stated to walk toward the tunnel and waits for his called from Kevin.
Welsh, Rauken and Dreamcatcher were spread out during the contest, due this event goes through out Draco Island. So they stay in the café, so they can watch it on the TV, there are many dragons outside also, watching this event, and they are on the ground of the island to see it. The two Dragons, Jake and James will start on the ground; they have to fly to the first ring and so on.
“Man this will be hard for the both of them” Welsh said.
“I know what you mean Welsh. These two have come so far in a long way to get here, and Jake and James have a lot of things on the line, let’s just hope both of them get what they want in the end, I don’t know who to root for.” Rauken said.
(“… As much I want to tell these two, that this will end almost they wanted, there will be a slight changes”) DC said to herself, then also said, “Look you two, this is might be the only to find out which one has the will enough to win the cup, though I agree on one part they are best friends and everything.”
“I know how you feel, but this is a lot on the line.” Rauken said.
“Yup” Welsh said.
All of three of them started to watch the TV as the DWC Round 8,
was about to begin. Rose is where the third ring was at, however there was a big TV there to show where they are now, she got a spot there to see who will win this event.
After Trixe and the rest had their breakfast, there was a knock at the door, Trixe went over to the door and open it, and it was Jennifer.
“Hello is this James’ house, I have been here before, but I see different people here?” Jenn said.
(“…oh boy, Jenn doesn’t know James is Dragon yet, but she knows this is his house, well I see what I can do.”) “Yeah this is James’ house; we are James’ friends, just watching over this house for him until he comes back.” Trixe said.
“Oh ok, where did he go to?” Jenn said.
“He went on a vacation trip with his parents.” Trixe said.
“Ah alright, well tell him when he comes back, I need to speak to him about something.” Jenn said.
“I will tell him, anything else” Trixe said.
“Nope, see you around.” Jenn said and walk out down to the street.
“Phew” Trixe said.
Spud came over to where Trixe is, she closes the door and sat down and watch the battle between James and Jake. Spud and the rest did the same, as for now the battle has begun…
“Alright everyone, I know you all been waiting for this for a long time, and now it’s my pleasure to begin this last and final battle, now let me intro these two Dragons that will be fighting for World Champion. On my Right side, we have Jake Long (there was applause and cheering in the background) … Jake has come a long way to get here, to battle, I wish you good luck. On my left side, our first place champion, James Dark, (A loud Cheer and some people are repeating his name numerous of times) … According to our records James has never lost a contest, to be consider our only first place winner in history of Draco Island. So congrats, now you two get ready… this is how it will work. You two be flying to that first ring and pass it, the next course gets a bit harder and harder, once you pass the second and third ring, you will be landing on the ground, running a 500 foot race to the finish line, your wings will come off you and you will turn to your human form to finish the race, though some of your Dragon powers will still be there. The winner that passes the red line will get his wish bowl and 5,000 Dollars. Alright once I say go, you fly off! You got it you two?” Kevin said.
They both nodded. James was ready, he was looking up right at the wing, he already stretch out and was prepared to fly, Jake was the same, and look at James for a second…(…”It’s like James has something on his mind , that he fighting more than a trophy, but what is it?”) However Jake turns back his head, and waited for the signal.
“Alright everyone this is the moment that everyone is waiting for, Jake … James, the final battle of DWC day 8.” Tom Said.
Caroline and John, just arrive in time and said there comments as well. “Well let’s hope this race will go nice and clean.”
“Yeah Caroline, lets hope, but this will be a big race between these two.” John said.
Just for a moment, James and Jake had a flashback of their friendship, and what they are fighting for… “GO!!!!!!” Kevin said.
Both Dragons flew off with the speed of light; both of them pass the first ring. They flew to a maze, the maze is kind of small, and the minute they landed, their wings disappear.
“Alright James and Jake, landed in the maze, however they are separated from this point, so one of them has to find the ring, that will lead them to the third course. James is already half way there, since he found a shortcut.” Tom said.
James moves around very quickly, he was very determined to do what he has to make sure his parents stay alive. However the path got darker and it became a little harder for him to get in the paths to the next ring and not knowing it he ran into a wall. He fell to the ground and was knock out.
Jake was still running, however he felt a shake for a second, not knowing that his best friend was already on the ground… he kept on running to the paths, though it was getting darker also, and he was smart enough to use his dragon breath, so he knows where he is going.
James finally got back up and he was nearly complete of the maze, he made one more turn and found the ring, he jump and start to fly to the ring, which made him complete the second course, he on to the third course.
As for Jake, he ran into another trap, until finally he was able to get out there in time and go on to the third course. The maze will close if one of the dragons got out in time, which one of them did. Lucky for him he got out.
Jake and James were neck and neck for the third course, which they had to follow a path around Draco Island, they both flew with great speeds, however they had to pass some trees, which delay them in who is first and last. James was able to pass the trees with ease, Jake on the other hand, was having a problem, and however he was able to pass most of the trees.
After five minutes they finally clear out.
Rauken decided to go outside, Welsh follow her as the same Dream, they all got good seats, they met up with Rose and they all started talking, as they watch on the big screen where Jake and James was at.
“Wow these two, are neck and neck to win this race, I’m really worry that one of them will get hurt.” Rose said.
“We could only wish who will win or not” Rauken said.
Welsh haven’t said a word, because he was thinking of James, and he wanted him to win, so he can get his wish to come true.
“Well you all will be surprise, who will win this race” DreamCatcher said.
“Why is that Dream?” Welsh Said.
“Because… well it’s hard to explain, but I will let you see for yourself” DC said and then she went back to her room and took a nap.
“You know, I worry about her sometimes, with her predictions and everything that she told us the past 7 days. However she doesn’t know who going to win, unless she does…” Rose said.
“Don’t worry about it Rose, this is up to them, whoever has the most energy will win this race.” Rauken said.
“Yeah…” Welsh said.
A knock was at the door, and it was Jennifer again. “Uhm I don’t know how to ask this, but can I come in, by the time I will go home a storm will trench me out, James always let me” Jenn said.
“Ok Jenn you can come in” Trixe said and then hold her arm out for a minute and said “… wait a minute in the hall way”
As Jennifer waits, Trixe ran to where spud and the rest are “Look guys we will need to watch something else for now, Jennifer is here, and I don’t think James has told her, he is a Dragon”
“Aww, they are up to the part when they about to race each other, that is the good part…” Spud said.
“Oh well kid, we will need to do this for now” Fu dog said.
“Also no talking dogs” Lau shi said.
“Woof” Fu dog said.
“Alright we are all ready” Haley said.
Trixe nodded at them and let Jennifer in. Jenn was knowing something odd was going on, but he needed to see James, because she needs to tell him something very important, she was very shy about it, she is a teenage witch, she can do any kind of magic, though she is young, she is being trained of how to do it. She wants to make sure, before a relationship starts up, that he can handle her being a witch.
“Well thank you and just in time… “Jenn got cut off from the outside weather… it started to thunder hard and rain outside. She continued “so where did James go, since school has shutdown due to a smell that made it sick for everyone to go in?”
“Well he went on a trip; he said he will be back later on
tomorrow maybe.” Trixe said and thought about it quick.
“A trip? …hmm odd he told you guys, but not me, that kind of off, but ok” Jennifer said.
“Look I don’t think he forgot you” Haley said.
“Yeah I don’t think he would, but it does happen” Spud said.
“Maybe your right… what are you guys watching” Jennifer said.
“Well we browse around the channels and just saw a movie we all like and decide to watch it, but then it got interrupted by the news for a special report. So we turn it off.” Trixe said.
“You don’t mind if I watch it” Jenn said.
“Go ahead” Trixe said and passes the remote to her.
Jennifer turns on the TV, she keep changing to the channel, until she stop at the part where she sees the two Dragons … “Oh wow you have this channel too, that means…” Jenn said.
Trixe and the rest just got scare… they didn’t know what to do… however Jenn continue to say something also. “..That means you must be all from Draco island. Well since that is known, let me tell you about myself…” Jenn said.
“Ok now everyone we are at the third ring course, this is when our dragons will do one of our random courses, and this year is basketball. James and Jake need to make 5 points in the basket in order to win the game, alright both dragons are ready and here we go” Caroline said.
“Now you two, make 5 basket as fast you can, because if you do , the door will open for you and you will able to run to the 500 foot mile race to the finish line” Ash said.
“Ready?”
“Go” Ash and said.
James and Jake nodded and started the foul shot points…
James made his first four shot already, however on the fifth one; he began to struggle with it. Meanwhile Jake, continues to miss the first one, until he remember how to shoot it more like he was close to the basket, about 2 to 5 minutes later, Jake got all 5 in. James finally got his fifth in and they both pass the ring.
“Well it seems like Jake and James, have now made the shots in. Now they are both moving to the break round, we didn’t mention this to them, when they come up to this point, but they get a 5 minute breather, then will be doing a relay race going through, 4 different kinds of weather related conditions, now Kevin did warn them about this race, it will be dangerous at the end. However the weather conditions are not that long, they will be running through it, it will be fall, winter, spring then finally summer. Now when they both the reach summer part; that’s when they have to cross the red line to win the DWC trophy and prizes.” Caroline said.
“Correct Caroline, now let’s be advise, last year, didn’t turn out that well, so let’s hope this year will be much better.” Tom said.
Meanwhile…back at the finish line
“Wow this will be a close race” Rose said.
“Yeah I’m worried that one of them will get hurt” Rauken said.
“Don’t worry, I know James and Jake won’t hurt anyone, they have been best friends for a while, right rose?” Welsh said.
“Yeah they been, well this is it, once this relay race begins, we will know who will win” Rose said.
Dreamcatcher was on the other side, she already knows who wins, and though it seems there is more to the race then it meets the eye.
“Wow, I can’t believe you are a witch” Trixe said.
“Yeah, my family had witch powers that were past down to me years ago, when I was young; however, I am half-witch and half-mortal, due to my mom marring a mortal. I don’t mind who I am, however now you know who I am, try not to spread it around, I do plan on telling James this, when he comes back from where he is.” Jenn said.
“You mean, you don’t know where he is” Spud said.
“Well honestly I don’t know I have been watching this show since yesterday, when my parents told me about whom I am and everything” Jenn said.
(“… That means he doesn’t know that James is a dragon or even Jake for that sake… I think we should pass to a different subject and let her find out later on”) Trixe thought and then said “Well you know what Jennifer, since you’re here, let get to know you better, other than you being a witch.”
“Alright” Jennifer said.
“Did you know James before, when you met us?” Spud said.
“No actually, I met him, as well as you guys came into the picture” Jenn said
“oh alright, hmm, well what was that you wanted to tell James about?” Trixe said.
“It’s something important between me and him, sorry I can’t say it to you, though one of what I said to you already is important, that being a witch, hehe” Jenn giggle and said.
“So you know all about dragons?” Lai shi said.
“Yup every one of them, the ones I actually like right now is that Dark one; he looks very cute, though I did miss one game when they were all human forms, so I don’t know who that dark one is. My mom told me that I will be going to Draco Island, next week after this game is over.” Jenn said.
“…(.so even still she doesn’t know James was, because of missing that show of the human form, well she thinks the dark one is cute and that is James, oh she will be in a surprise, if they see the human form…) Trixe thought and then said. “Well let’s continue to watch the final outcome of this, because either the dark one or the red one will win this.”
“… (Wait a second, why did she say…. Ooooh now I know why, because Jennifer doesn’t know, ok I will go on with this little game that Trixe’s playing…) Spud thought and then said. “Yeah let’s see what happens”
They all begin to watch the last course of what James and Jake is going through, however Jennifer seem a bit suspicious, that James has been gone for a while and she continues to think, he hasn’t been honest about something, however she kept her eye on the TV… (“…Oh my god, that’s it”)
End
Kevin was at the start line, telling James and Jake to get ready. “Ok you two, I will see you at finish line, this will determine once and for all, who our DWC champion is. On your mark, get set and go!!!” he said.
Jake and James went off with a flash of lighting, now they start to go through the cycle of fall season, which both of them had no problem, but it got colder and colder every time they ran more down the path. However now the path separates… Jake goes one way and James goes another.
“Oh jeez it’s cold here, I hope Jake can make it through” James said
“I didn’t know this was in the final game of DWC, they never mention it to me or James, oh well if this is what it takes, I will do it.” Jake said
“James is still running hard as we see on our camera screen map, the fall for both of them has ended when they separated in the winter round, which about 4 minutes is running time… oh my dragon it looks like James has fall down, Jake is already out of the winter mode and running fast in the spring as the path comes back together.” Tom said.
“Yeah however Tom, James is back on his feet and has finally ran out of the winter course, though right now Jake is in a good lead, he heading into the spring area, which it’s begins to rain hard on him, the sand mix in with the rain, is making it hard for him to run, that goes for James also, however he seems not to be effected by it.” Caroline said.
Back down at the course…
James caught up to Jake in the heat of the battle; however when they both look at each other, James’s Eyes, turn green like he was evil or something. Jake felt weird about that, but he still kept on running. Now both of them were heading into the final minutes of the storm and they both fall this time. They cannot help each other duringthis course, otherwise both of them are dismiss from the race. Jake got up and continues to ran, he did look back, but he has to keep on going.
Meanwhile James was knock out for a minute, he had a glimpse of his parents again, that were fading away from him… he open his eyes and with anger inside him, he push himself to the limit of running to the summer course and catch up with Jake.
Jake was way ahead and getting very close to the finish line…
“There is Jake; he so close to the finish line… but wait, where is James at?” Rose said.
“Maybe something happen to him, he might of fell” Rauken said.
“Oh my, I hope he isn’t hurt badly” Rose said.
“I hope not either” Welsh said.
Jake was about 3 feet from the finish line and he fell down. He was out of breath, since he sprinted down the course.
“Jake you have to get up” Rose said.
James was running down the course like no tomorrow, he is getting close to the finish line.
“Look there is James” Welsh said.
“Oh yeah and look at his face, he look very angry” Rauken said.
“Yeah I wonder what’s got in to him.” Rose said.
“James got up from falling over at the spring storm that hit him and he started to sprint as quickly as he can, Jake starts to open his eyes and notices he inches from the finish line, James is getting very close and the winner is…JAKE!!!” Tom said

Kind of surprising huh… Well if I have time for the next chapter it will come out soon, however you will know what happens after this.
Chapter 20: Battle of Best Friends Part 2/DWC Round 8/James’ House
Morning arise on the borders of Draco Island, James was still sleeping in his bed in the hospital, as for Welsh, he was allow to go back to his own bed, since his injuries was clean up. Jake on other hand was still up, he did get some sleep, but he was worried for himself about this that he never faces someone like his best friend before… (“Out all of my friends, why it had to be James, I kind of knew this will happen, but I didn’t know it would be him, however I think this was what Dreamcatcher was talking about, oh darn it, it is. Well I do my best, because my parents cannot afford a house, though that wish bowl might come in handy for it, with the money, I will have more than enough to survive on.”)
Jake got up and went outside and saw the morning sunrise, he look up and down, he breathe deeply and then went back inside to lays on his bed. James finally open his eyes and got up, and notice he was alone in the hospital, there was a note left on the table next to him, he pick it up and read it…
“James, you’re allowed to go back to your room, your injuries are healed, have a good day and good luck.”
-Dr. Joker
James smiles and gets up and go to his bed and sleeps.
Back in New York City
Lah shi, was already up making breakfast in James house, the food he was making, was good, and for some reason the food was finish above the average time, it seems like the house they were in was built for the future. Beside that Lah shi continues to cook breakfast. Trixe went up stairs to James’ room, though no one was allow being up there, she went there anyway the curious girl she is, she look around and notice a lot of stuff.
Spud was still sleeping on the couch, and Haley was sitting down on the other couch and watching TV, the TV wasn’t loud so spud was able to hear it. However she is worried about her big brother and James in the battle they are about to face today, worried that somebody might get hurt, also she fears for the Dark Dragon, she never faced up to him before alone.
“Wow this room has a lot of stuff in here, but it’s so neat, heh” Trixe said.
James’ Room was full with picture of his best friends in middle and High School (which is Trixe, Jake and Spud). She still look around in the room and found other neat stuff, like trophies for winning games, such as bowling, also there is a computers he uses to talk to people, however the most thing that made Trixe’s eyes open is the closet, something was shining in there, when she open it, the light was left on in the closet, she turn it off, and also saw another thing, she saw a portal that leads straight to Draco island, but when she put her hand in there, the portal closed off. Which Scare her and made her close the closet door.
Spud finally got up and smells the breakfast that Lah shi was making, and it was finally ready.
“Trixe, Spud, Haley and Fu Dog, Breakfast is ready, come and get it!” He yelled and coughs a bit.
Trixe heard her name called, and before she left, she saw a letter on the desk that was about James’ Parents of how they died and everything, what she didn’t notice that was part of James’ Journal. However she puts it back and runs down the stairs.
Back in Draco Island
Kevin got up finally and was in his room and notice this was the time to see who will be crown king of all Dragons. He made sure everything was set for today event, with the help of Raffi and Ash there; everything will go as well as plan. (“I hope everything goes well with this contest, because the last one wasn’t good, I kind of lie to James of what happen for last year contest, the person that won the contest and actually did give the wish bowl to help his friend, but that friend was the Dark Dragon, but as a human form, he was good, but full with anger due to the way the planet works, he hating be a human, that why he wish to stay as dragon for the rest of his life. Once that happen, he became evil and have followers with him, to do his dirty work, this won’t happen this time, I will make sure of it!”)
James wakes up and goes to the café and notices there were only some dragons left, almost half of them left the island due to losing the contest. He sighed a bit, but sat on the chair and waited for breakfast to be served; meanwhile he had other things in his mind, because a few nights ago he had a dream vision of how the crash happens to his parents…
[glow=white,2,300]{{{Flash Back}}}[/glow]
Peter and Penny were on they ride home from the party and they pick up a gift for James, since he was getting his powers back.
“I’m glad for my son; I knew he had in him; however I couldn’t believe they had Followers at that place, where was that security at that time, kind of make you wonder what Dark dragon is planning.” Peter said as he driving down the road.
“Yeah I know, but the main thing, we are happy for our son to get his powers back and by this time right now, he should have got his powers” Penny said.
Peter nods and stops at a light, and when it begins to turn green another car zips down the other road hits directly on Peter’s car, killing them without question.
James knows this part, but what James dream show more than this, the people that killed James’ Parents, was the Dark Dragon Followers. However the followers were also dead in the crash.
[glow=white,2,300]{{Flash Back ended}}}[/glow]
“Nooo!!!!” James Scream out loud, but as again the café was empty and no one was around, suddenly Rose came up to James and sat down to him.
“You’re ok James; you look a little off today.” Rose said.
“I’m ok, just had another flashback memory” James said.
“Ah ok, you know this battle between you and Jake, will be the biggest one you two ever faced, who would of thought you battle your best friend to win something important, though I don’t know what the stakes are in this.” Rose Said.
“Well there is some stakes in for me, which I will need to win, and I won’t back down from this and give my all to him” James said.
Rose nod and smiles for a bit, but however she was worried about this, everything was making their friend turn into enemies and the other way around. However she kept her self clear of it and continues to talk to James to make him a bit feel better and have some support.
Jake started to wake up and kept a happy face, because he has contest to win, he doesn’t want to lose , however at the same time he doesn’t want to hurt his best friend in this battle either. However he has too much at stake to lose. This is what happen to Jake during the time, when his roof was falling down…
[glow=white,2,300]{{Flash Back}}[/glow]
On the night before the DWC ever began, Jake was sleeping during the night a bad wind storm came and begin to blow on top of the roof, and a few minutes the roof started to collapse and it started to leak throughout the house. It started to leak in Haley Room, which one of the rain drops hit on Haley head and she begins to scream. Jake heard the scream and in the flash of lighting he came into Haley’s room and saw the leak, which the scream also woke up mom and Dad.
“AHHH!!!” Haley’s Scream.
“Haley, what’s going on and what with the screaming?” Jake said.
Mom and Dad walk in… Haley points to the top of the wall.
“Oo we have a leak” Susan said.
“That’s not good” Jake said.
Haley move away from the leak and came close to Jake.
“Haley better stay downstairs in the couch, so you will be safe” Susan said.
Haley nodded and went downstairs, Jake went back to his room and Mom and Dad went back to bed
The next day came, and when Jake overheard the amount of money it will cost to fix up the house, Susan didn’t had the money to fixed it up, which John couldn’t do anything either. So they had no plan to fix the roof up, and with their insurance not helping, I have no money to fix it up, and they be forced to move to grandpa house. Jake didn’t want that, that happen already when the Dark dragon attack the house and the they had to make an excuse to get fixed, which it did work, but since it happen again, they can’t do it the second time, so when Jake got the notice about this contest, he put himself in and was qualified to enter.
[glow=white,2,300]{{{Flash back ended}}}[/glow]
(“I can’t lose this, I know what I have to do, I have to give it my all, and show who the best dragon out there is”) Jake said in his mind. He gets up from his bed and sighs for a bit then goes to the door, he opens the door and there was a person outside his door and it was Dreamcatcher.
“Heya Jake, surprise to see me?” DC said.
“Somewhat, but I can’t believe you can see things into the future” Jake said.
“Heh, you believe it now? I know what’s been going on, however this part of the time of this event has been clouded, all I know is that I’m rooting for you to win, but be careful Jake, this has happen in the past before with friends turning into their rivals. Good luck”
DC said and ran off.
“Thanks Dream Catcher” Jake said, as he begins to walk out of
his room and bumps into James.
James was finishing talking to Rose, and he felt better, and both of them look at each other and kept quiet for almost a minute, until finally James lay out his hand and said “Jake I wish you good luck, no matter what happens here, I’m your best friend and I will continue to be that way until then” after he said that he smile.
“James I really thank you, but do know this, I won’t go easy on you, as I expect from you the same, and I want you to give it your all” Jake said.
“Don’t worry I will give it my all” James said and winks.
After that talk, Kevin passes by and tells them to get ready for the event…
“Hello everyone and good Afternoon, on this beautiful day at Draco Island, I’m Tom your host, my sis Caroline and our good friend John is not here yet, but he will be joining us Shortly for the final event at DWC, this is Day 8 of the contest, and it comes down to this, two wild card champions and the two finalist that came a long way of winning, are now fighting each other to win the DWC Cup, with including the 5 thousand dollars and a wish bowl. That will be a great gift to go home with. Jake and James will be going through a one hell of event; this is the event like no other, how this is set up is that they have to pass three rings, but between those three rings, they have to do some courses in them, once it’s complete they can past the ring and move on to the next, one of them will require not to use their wings , meaning the minute they land, they will need to run on foot to win the final course and win the event. Hopefully this will go well.” Tom said.
Jake was in the locker room, thinking again of everything he went through with James, everything was relying on this one match that would either get everything he needed or nothing at all. (“… I know this is hard for me, and coming down to this, I feel like this is it, it’s all or nothing, if I can’t win against James, that’s ok, I’m still his friend and that what all matters, however through with my family on the line, I can’t give up on this. Ready or not James, here I come to do this and win with all my might and heart”) Jake started to cry a bit, but he clear it up and wash his face.
Raffi knock on the door and said “it’s time Jake”
“Ok I’m coming” Jake said. He walk toward the door and walks outside under the tunnel.
Meanwhile James, was going through his memories with Jake of how far they went through, and then having a flash back again with his parents dying in the car crash from the Dark Dragon followers. He was sitting down for a long time, he told Ash he be at the door in five minutes, (“…Just as I thought I was going to win this easily, I have to face yet another best friend of mine, and this is too much, I feel like I can’t do this, but … I can’t give up while I’m ahead, I won’t lose my family that gave me this gift, I love being a Dragon, it was my dream to be one and protect the world from danger, however though if I lose this, I might lose my powers, because I have no one to take care of me, though I have been doing a good job for myself. I know I can do this, it all or nothing, this is it, I love you mom and dad and this is for you, to show how much your son learn!!”) He punches a locker and then goes to the door and opens it up with Ash beside him.
“I wish you good luck James, I hope you win” Ash Said.
“Thank Ash” James said and smiles. He stated to walk toward the tunnel and waits for his called from Kevin.
Welsh, Rauken and Dreamcatcher were spread out during the contest, due this event goes through out Draco Island. So they stay in the café, so they can watch it on the TV, there are many dragons outside also, watching this event, and they are on the ground of the island to see it. The two Dragons, Jake and James will start on the ground; they have to fly to the first ring and so on.
“Man this will be hard for the both of them” Welsh said.
“I know what you mean Welsh. These two have come so far in a long way to get here, and Jake and James have a lot of things on the line, let’s just hope both of them get what they want in the end, I don’t know who to root for.” Rauken said.
(“… As much I want to tell these two, that this will end almost they wanted, there will be a slight changes”) DC said to herself, then also said, “Look you two, this is might be the only to find out which one has the will enough to win the cup, though I agree on one part they are best friends and everything.”
“I know how you feel, but this is a lot on the line.” Rauken said.
“Yup” Welsh said.
All of three of them started to watch the TV as the DWC Round 8,
was about to begin. Rose is where the third ring was at, however there was a big TV there to show where they are now, she got a spot there to see who will win this event.
Back in New York City
After Trixe and the rest had their breakfast, there was a knock at the door, Trixe went over to the door and open it, and it was Jennifer.
“Hello is this James’ house, I have been here before, but I see different people here?” Jenn said.
(“…oh boy, Jenn doesn’t know James is Dragon yet, but she knows this is his house, well I see what I can do.”) “Yeah this is James’ house; we are James’ friends, just watching over this house for him until he comes back.” Trixe said.
“Oh ok, where did he go to?” Jenn said.
“He went on a vacation trip with his parents.” Trixe said.
“Ah alright, well tell him when he comes back, I need to speak to him about something.” Jenn said.
“I will tell him, anything else” Trixe said.
“Nope, see you around.” Jenn said and walk out down to the street.
“Phew” Trixe said.
Spud came over to where Trixe is, she closes the door and sat down and watch the battle between James and Jake. Spud and the rest did the same, as for now the battle has begun…
Back in Draco Island
“Alright everyone, I know you all been waiting for this for a long time, and now it’s my pleasure to begin this last and final battle, now let me intro these two Dragons that will be fighting for World Champion. On my Right side, we have Jake Long (there was applause and cheering in the background) … Jake has come a long way to get here, to battle, I wish you good luck. On my left side, our first place champion, James Dark, (A loud Cheer and some people are repeating his name numerous of times) … According to our records James has never lost a contest, to be consider our only first place winner in history of Draco Island. So congrats, now you two get ready… this is how it will work. You two be flying to that first ring and pass it, the next course gets a bit harder and harder, once you pass the second and third ring, you will be landing on the ground, running a 500 foot race to the finish line, your wings will come off you and you will turn to your human form to finish the race, though some of your Dragon powers will still be there. The winner that passes the red line will get his wish bowl and 5,000 Dollars. Alright once I say go, you fly off! You got it you two?” Kevin said.
They both nodded. James was ready, he was looking up right at the wing, he already stretch out and was prepared to fly, Jake was the same, and look at James for a second…(…”It’s like James has something on his mind , that he fighting more than a trophy, but what is it?”) However Jake turns back his head, and waited for the signal.
“Alright everyone this is the moment that everyone is waiting for, Jake … James, the final battle of DWC day 8.” Tom Said.
Caroline and John, just arrive in time and said there comments as well. “Well let’s hope this race will go nice and clean.”
“Yeah Caroline, lets hope, but this will be a big race between these two.” John said.
Just for a moment, James and Jake had a flashback of their friendship, and what they are fighting for… “GO!!!!!!” Kevin said.
Both Dragons flew off with the speed of light; both of them pass the first ring. They flew to a maze, the maze is kind of small, and the minute they landed, their wings disappear.
“Alright James and Jake, landed in the maze, however they are separated from this point, so one of them has to find the ring, that will lead them to the third course. James is already half way there, since he found a shortcut.” Tom said.
James moves around very quickly, he was very determined to do what he has to make sure his parents stay alive. However the path got darker and it became a little harder for him to get in the paths to the next ring and not knowing it he ran into a wall. He fell to the ground and was knock out.
Jake was still running, however he felt a shake for a second, not knowing that his best friend was already on the ground… he kept on running to the paths, though it was getting darker also, and he was smart enough to use his dragon breath, so he knows where he is going.
James finally got back up and he was nearly complete of the maze, he made one more turn and found the ring, he jump and start to fly to the ring, which made him complete the second course, he on to the third course.
As for Jake, he ran into another trap, until finally he was able to get out there in time and go on to the third course. The maze will close if one of the dragons got out in time, which one of them did. Lucky for him he got out.
Jake and James were neck and neck for the third course, which they had to follow a path around Draco Island, they both flew with great speeds, however they had to pass some trees, which delay them in who is first and last. James was able to pass the trees with ease, Jake on the other hand, was having a problem, and however he was able to pass most of the trees.
After five minutes they finally clear out.
Rauken decided to go outside, Welsh follow her as the same Dream, they all got good seats, they met up with Rose and they all started talking, as they watch on the big screen where Jake and James was at.
“Wow these two, are neck and neck to win this race, I’m really worry that one of them will get hurt.” Rose said.
“We could only wish who will win or not” Rauken said.
Welsh haven’t said a word, because he was thinking of James, and he wanted him to win, so he can get his wish to come true.
“Well you all will be surprise, who will win this race” DreamCatcher said.
“Why is that Dream?” Welsh Said.
“Because… well it’s hard to explain, but I will let you see for yourself” DC said and then she went back to her room and took a nap.
“You know, I worry about her sometimes, with her predictions and everything that she told us the past 7 days. However she doesn’t know who going to win, unless she does…” Rose said.
“Don’t worry about it Rose, this is up to them, whoever has the most energy will win this race.” Rauken said.
“Yeah…” Welsh said.
Back in New York City
A knock was at the door, and it was Jennifer again. “Uhm I don’t know how to ask this, but can I come in, by the time I will go home a storm will trench me out, James always let me” Jenn said.
“Ok Jenn you can come in” Trixe said and then hold her arm out for a minute and said “… wait a minute in the hall way”
As Jennifer waits, Trixe ran to where spud and the rest are “Look guys we will need to watch something else for now, Jennifer is here, and I don’t think James has told her, he is a Dragon”
“Aww, they are up to the part when they about to race each other, that is the good part…” Spud said.
“Oh well kid, we will need to do this for now” Fu dog said.
“Also no talking dogs” Lau shi said.
“Woof” Fu dog said.
“Alright we are all ready” Haley said.
Trixe nodded at them and let Jennifer in. Jenn was knowing something odd was going on, but he needed to see James, because she needs to tell him something very important, she was very shy about it, she is a teenage witch, she can do any kind of magic, though she is young, she is being trained of how to do it. She wants to make sure, before a relationship starts up, that he can handle her being a witch.
“Well thank you and just in time… “Jenn got cut off from the outside weather… it started to thunder hard and rain outside. She continued “so where did James go, since school has shutdown due to a smell that made it sick for everyone to go in?”
“Well he went on a trip; he said he will be back later on
tomorrow maybe.” Trixe said and thought about it quick.
“A trip? …hmm odd he told you guys, but not me, that kind of off, but ok” Jennifer said.
“Look I don’t think he forgot you” Haley said.
“Yeah I don’t think he would, but it does happen” Spud said.
“Maybe your right… what are you guys watching” Jennifer said.
“Well we browse around the channels and just saw a movie we all like and decide to watch it, but then it got interrupted by the news for a special report. So we turn it off.” Trixe said.
“You don’t mind if I watch it” Jenn said.
“Go ahead” Trixe said and passes the remote to her.
Jennifer turns on the TV, she keep changing to the channel, until she stop at the part where she sees the two Dragons … “Oh wow you have this channel too, that means…” Jenn said.
Trixe and the rest just got scare… they didn’t know what to do… however Jenn continue to say something also. “..That means you must be all from Draco island. Well since that is known, let me tell you about myself…” Jenn said.
Back in Draco Island
“Ok now everyone we are at the third ring course, this is when our dragons will do one of our random courses, and this year is basketball. James and Jake need to make 5 points in the basket in order to win the game, alright both dragons are ready and here we go” Caroline said.
“Now you two, make 5 basket as fast you can, because if you do , the door will open for you and you will able to run to the 500 foot mile race to the finish line” Ash said.
“Ready?”
“Go” Ash and said.
James and Jake nodded and started the foul shot points…
James made his first four shot already, however on the fifth one; he began to struggle with it. Meanwhile Jake, continues to miss the first one, until he remember how to shoot it more like he was close to the basket, about 2 to 5 minutes later, Jake got all 5 in. James finally got his fifth in and they both pass the ring.
“Well it seems like Jake and James, have now made the shots in. Now they are both moving to the break round, we didn’t mention this to them, when they come up to this point, but they get a 5 minute breather, then will be doing a relay race going through, 4 different kinds of weather related conditions, now Kevin did warn them about this race, it will be dangerous at the end. However the weather conditions are not that long, they will be running through it, it will be fall, winter, spring then finally summer. Now when they both the reach summer part; that’s when they have to cross the red line to win the DWC trophy and prizes.” Caroline said.
“Correct Caroline, now let’s be advise, last year, didn’t turn out that well, so let’s hope this year will be much better.” Tom said.
Meanwhile…back at the finish line
“Wow this will be a close race” Rose said.
“Yeah I’m worried that one of them will get hurt” Rauken said.
“Don’t worry, I know James and Jake won’t hurt anyone, they have been best friends for a while, right rose?” Welsh said.
“Yeah they been, well this is it, once this relay race begins, we will know who will win” Rose said.
Dreamcatcher was on the other side, she already knows who wins, and though it seems there is more to the race then it meets the eye.
Back in Staten Island
“Wow, I can’t believe you are a witch” Trixe said.
“Yeah, my family had witch powers that were past down to me years ago, when I was young; however, I am half-witch and half-mortal, due to my mom marring a mortal. I don’t mind who I am, however now you know who I am, try not to spread it around, I do plan on telling James this, when he comes back from where he is.” Jenn said.
“You mean, you don’t know where he is” Spud said.
“Well honestly I don’t know I have been watching this show since yesterday, when my parents told me about whom I am and everything” Jenn said.
(“… That means he doesn’t know that James is a dragon or even Jake for that sake… I think we should pass to a different subject and let her find out later on”) Trixe thought and then said “Well you know what Jennifer, since you’re here, let get to know you better, other than you being a witch.”
“Alright” Jennifer said.
“Did you know James before, when you met us?” Spud said.
“No actually, I met him, as well as you guys came into the picture” Jenn said
“oh alright, hmm, well what was that you wanted to tell James about?” Trixe said.
“It’s something important between me and him, sorry I can’t say it to you, though one of what I said to you already is important, that being a witch, hehe” Jenn giggle and said.
“So you know all about dragons?” Lai shi said.
“Yup every one of them, the ones I actually like right now is that Dark one; he looks very cute, though I did miss one game when they were all human forms, so I don’t know who that dark one is. My mom told me that I will be going to Draco Island, next week after this game is over.” Jenn said.
“…(.so even still she doesn’t know James was, because of missing that show of the human form, well she thinks the dark one is cute and that is James, oh she will be in a surprise, if they see the human form…) Trixe thought and then said. “Well let’s continue to watch the final outcome of this, because either the dark one or the red one will win this.”
“… (Wait a second, why did she say…. Ooooh now I know why, because Jennifer doesn’t know, ok I will go on with this little game that Trixe’s playing…) Spud thought and then said. “Yeah let’s see what happens”
They all begin to watch the last course of what James and Jake is going through, however Jennifer seem a bit suspicious, that James has been gone for a while and she continues to think, he hasn’t been honest about something, however she kept her eye on the TV… (“…Oh my god, that’s it”)
End
Back in Draco Island
Kevin was at the start line, telling James and Jake to get ready. “Ok you two, I will see you at finish line, this will determine once and for all, who our DWC champion is. On your mark, get set and go!!!” he said.
Jake and James went off with a flash of lighting, now they start to go through the cycle of fall season, which both of them had no problem, but it got colder and colder every time they ran more down the path. However now the path separates… Jake goes one way and James goes another.
“Oh jeez it’s cold here, I hope Jake can make it through” James said
“I didn’t know this was in the final game of DWC, they never mention it to me or James, oh well if this is what it takes, I will do it.” Jake said
“James is still running hard as we see on our camera screen map, the fall for both of them has ended when they separated in the winter round, which about 4 minutes is running time… oh my dragon it looks like James has fall down, Jake is already out of the winter mode and running fast in the spring as the path comes back together.” Tom said.
“Yeah however Tom, James is back on his feet and has finally ran out of the winter course, though right now Jake is in a good lead, he heading into the spring area, which it’s begins to rain hard on him, the sand mix in with the rain, is making it hard for him to run, that goes for James also, however he seems not to be effected by it.” Caroline said.
Back down at the course…
James caught up to Jake in the heat of the battle; however when they both look at each other, James’s Eyes, turn green like he was evil or something. Jake felt weird about that, but he still kept on running. Now both of them were heading into the final minutes of the storm and they both fall this time. They cannot help each other duringthis course, otherwise both of them are dismiss from the race. Jake got up and continues to ran, he did look back, but he has to keep on going.
Meanwhile James was knock out for a minute, he had a glimpse of his parents again, that were fading away from him… he open his eyes and with anger inside him, he push himself to the limit of running to the summer course and catch up with Jake.
Jake was way ahead and getting very close to the finish line…
“There is Jake; he so close to the finish line… but wait, where is James at?” Rose said.
“Maybe something happen to him, he might of fell” Rauken said.
“Oh my, I hope he isn’t hurt badly” Rose said.
“I hope not either” Welsh said.
Jake was about 3 feet from the finish line and he fell down. He was out of breath, since he sprinted down the course.
“Jake you have to get up” Rose said.
James was running down the course like no tomorrow, he is getting close to the finish line.
“Look there is James” Welsh said.
“Oh yeah and look at his face, he look very angry” Rauken said.
“Yeah I wonder what’s got in to him.” Rose said.
“James got up from falling over at the spring storm that hit him and he started to sprint as quickly as he can, Jake starts to open his eyes and notices he inches from the finish line, James is getting very close and the winner is…JAKE!!!” Tom said
[glow=green,2,300]To Be Continue…[/glow]
Kind of surprising huh… Well if I have time for the next chapter it will come out soon, however you will know what happens after this.
