AD: JL and the Legend of the Cosmic Dragon

[Lamort]

Now I'm sure that at least Travis is gonna be wondering why I'm posting my Fan-Fic here when its already done over at the fan forum. Well I've gone threw and fixed any errors and missing words or sentences that I didn't notice when I was writing it the first time so you can consider this the "Final Mix" of my Fan-Fic!



***Prologue – Outside Lao Shi’s shop***

The scene starts with Dyne walking down the sidewalk towards Lao Shi’s shop

‘This world is boring’ thought Dyne ‘I don’t see why I have to do this…Lord Babylon really has a weird way of training me…’

The scene switches to a flashback conversation between Babylon and Dyne

“What!?” Dyne exclaimed after hearing what Babylon had just said, “You want me to go to the Human World and get a part-time job!? You must be senile old man!”

“Its no joke young Dyne,” said Babylon, he was a huge, serpent like dragon with a tired look in his eyes, “If you expect to be the next Overlord of my Netherworld then you need to have funds in order to support it.”

“But human currency has no value here in the Netherworld”

“The money doesn’t mater its weather or not you are capable of producing it.”

The flash back ends, Dyne is now just outside Lao Shi’s shop and notices a Help Wanted sign in the window.

‘Guess this is a good of place as any’ thought Dyne looking up at the building.

Dyne went inside to see an elderly Chinese man sitting at the counter who seemed very surprised that someone had just walked into his shop.

“Umm…I’m here for a job…” said Dyne

“Job? What Job?” the old man said in utter confusion

“Well there is a help wanted sign in your window—“

“Aye-Ya! I thought Jake took that down weeks ago!” the man jumped out from behind the counter to reveal his short stature

‘Gee, this guy’s a riot’ Dyne thought as the old man hurried to remove the sign from the window

“I apologize, but I’m afraid that…uh that the position is already filled by someone” the old man quickly removed the sign and returned behind the counter hopping back onto his stool “I am sorry but I cannot help you.”

“Oh well…” Dyne turned to leave just as Jake entered the store startled to see someone there

“Yo gramps don’t tell we that we got a customer.” Jake said

“No Jake, this boy has come here for a job when he saw the help wanted sign that you were supposed to remove from the window.” Said the old man

“Aw sorry gramps guess I just forgot…” said Jake scratching his head, there was something about Jake that Dyne couldn’t quiet place, but seemed so familiar, “ But gramps didn’t you say that you needed someone to watch the shop the next few days because of that ‘thing’.” This caused dyne to look back at the old man.

“Jake, you know that we can’t just hire someone off the streets that we don’t know!” yelled the old man. At this point Dyne heard a voice in the back room, it was slowly getting louder.

“Aw come on Veronica you know my credit is good…” at this point Jake and the old man panicked and tried to close the door to the back room but before they could and old dog talking on a cell phone came into the room.

For a moment everyone was silent, even the dog then Dyne said ”Hey dog…”

The dog let out a nervous “uhhhh”

“You do know your roaming don’t you?”

“Say wha?” Jake said

“Well he is…” Dyne said turning to Jake

“You mean to say that…you are not surprised to see the dog talking?” the old man asked

“I’ve seen a lot over the years there isn’t many things that would surprise me, so…do I get the job or not?” everyone just looked at each other for a moment then the old man spoke

“We shall need to consider this for a moment…” and they all walked into the back room leaving Dyne out front



***End prologue***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 1: Something Weird***

Jake, the old man, and the dog all walked into the back room and began talking; Dyne could only hear a few bits and pieces.

“Think we can trust him?” said the dog

“I am not sure…” said the old man

“Think he even knows what’s going on G?” Said Jake

“I don’t think so…” said the old man

“Then what’s the problem? As long as Fu doesn’t do anything stupid while we’re gone he won’t suspect anything!” said Jake

“Its not that simple Jake…” said the old man

“Look, I’ll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t go blabbin’ and when you get back we’ll just erase his memory, it’s a simple plan…” said Fu

“Very well…” said the old man

The three of them walked back out into the shop, Dyne was looking at an old VCR when he noticed them

“After some consideration we have decided that you may have a job here while myself and Jake here are out of town.” Said the old man

“Ok, so when do I start, and just what is your name old man?” said Dyne

“Old man? Bah, my name is Lao Shi, and this is my grandson Jake Long, and the dog’s name is Fu Dog, and you will start work tomorrow after Jake and I leave. We will return in two days”

“Fine, mind if I ask where you are going?” said Dyne

“That is not your concern, just know that we will be back. Fu Dog knows when the shop is to be closed, all you have to do is watch the store.” Said Lao Shi

“Alright see you.” Dyane then turned and walked out of the store.






He turned into the nearest alley and searched his pocket for something, at this point Jake had also left Lao Shi’s shop and was heading towards the same alley. Dyne pulled out a special charm that he had received from Babylon to open a gate between the Human world and the Netherworld, he tossed the charm in front of him and it vanished to reveal a portal, Jake was now at the corner of the alley. Dyne walked into the portal as Jake glanced over in time to see Dyne and the portal vanish.

“Whoa, what was that!?” Jake exclaimed transfixed on the spot where Dyne and the portal had been just a moment before “There is something weird about that guy…”

The next day Dyne returned to the Human world at the same alley where he left and proceeded to walk to Lao Shi’s shop. He walked inside to see no one there.

“Hello?” Dyne asked

“Hey kid!’ it was Fu Dog “Your late, where have you been, the shop opened an hour ago! Jake the old man already left, now all you have to do is sit at the counter and wait for customers.”

“Ok” Dyne then walked over the counter and sat down, he pulled a deck of cards from his coat pocket and laid out a solitaire hand.

After losing 15 times in a row Dyne was getting board “Hey do you have any customers? At all?”

“Well uh, no we don’t.”

“This is going to be a long two days…”

After a few more hours and failing to every win at solitaire Dyne put his cards away and just sat there being bored. It was then that two kids around Jake’s age walked in, at this point Dyne was half-asleep and didn’t notice they had come in.

“Hey is Jake here?” Dyne perked his head up to see it was a black girl that had asked, before Dyne could say anything Fu Dog answered her.

“Trixie! Spud! Sorry but Jake and the old man aren’t here”

“Hey Fu you think its Ok to talk in front of this guy?” said Trixie

“Its alright he doesn’t really seem to mind at all, I’m not even sure if he thinks I’m a dog”

‘Humph, stupid dog’ thought Dyne

“Really, I always thought you were a cat.” Said Spud, everyone stopped and looked at Spud for a moment then went on with the conversation.

“So when’s Jake gonna be back?” asked Trixie

“In tomorrow, so we hired this kid to watch the shop while they’re gone”

“Why didn’t they just ask me and Spud?”

“Remember the last time you two watched the shop?”

“Uhhh, was that before or after that beauty pageant you entered?” asked Spud who had been quiet this whole time

“You were in a beauty pageant?” Dyne asked

“Please don’t ask…” said Fu who shuddered

“To late I already did...” replied Dyne

“Ooooo, home-boy’s got your number Fu. So what’s your name any way and do you live around here? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you at school.” Asked Trixie

“I’m just here for a while because I have to be, and my name is Dyne Hyuton.”

“Hyuton?” asked Fu “You mean like ice?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong with my last name?” said Dyne

“Nothing, nothing…well its time to close so I’ll lock up, make sure you’re on time tomorrow” said Fu

“Hehehe, well if tomorrow is gonna be slow like this I may as well be late” Dyne picked up his cards and walked out the door, leaving Fu, Trixie and Spud in the shop.

The next day Dyne decided you actually show up on time, but after 4 hours of sitting around playing cards he really regretted it. By the afternoon Jake and Lao Shi had returned.

“So how was wherever you two went?” asked Dyne

“Fine, fine now then you do remember our agreement yes? You could only work for the two days that I and Jake were away.” Said Lao Shi

“Yeah, so how much do I get paid.” Asked Dyne

“Well seeing that nothing is broken and that the shop hasn’t been burned to the ground,” said Lao Shi looking at Fu who backed up into the back room and out of site “I suppose 40 dollars would be sufficient.”

“Ok I’m good with that.” Lao Shi then handed Dyne a couple of 20-dollar bills as Fu Dog re-appeared from the back room carrying a drink.

“Here kid, try this since you were such a good kid.” Fu handed Dyne the drink and Dyne gulped it down. Fu then proceeded to act like a real dog, dropping down on all fours.

‘Who are these guys kidding, but I guess I play along if it will get me what I need’ thought Dyne

“Now then I believe that you were about to return the 40 dollars you owe me young man” said Lao Shi

‘Those…who do they…forget this…’ “Alright I’ve had enough of this so I’m gonna leave now, and the next time you try erasing someone’s memory try finding someone who would be affected.” Lao Shi was then in a state of shock along with Jake and Fu as Dyne walked out the door and into the nearby ally. Dyne was about to leave when he heard a familiar voice crying for help. It was Trixie; Dyne decided that he might as well look for her.

“HELP!” Trixie called out again

Dyne ran out of the alley listening carefully for her voice, he then noticed that Jake had just then ran out of Lao Shi’s shop as well and was listening for his friend, when she called again, it was to Dyne’s right he the turned and ran toward her voice. He then heard Jake call out for him to wait but Dyne didn’t stop he continued to run towards where Trixie was. Dyne had also noticed how strangely vacant the streets were, but paid this no mind as he arrived at another alley to see Trixie struggling with a couple of weird guys in green outfits, Spud was out cold on the ground. Jake had then caught up with Dyne and noticed Trixie and Spud.

“Trixie! Spud!” Jake tried to move forward but Dyne stopped him “Hey what are you doing I have to help them!”

“Don’t rush into a fight without taking in your surroundings, look” Dyne pointed up to one of the fire escapes Jake looked to see three more hooded figures waiting to strike, Jake still didn’t want to leave his friends as was about to Dragon Up, but Dyne reached into his pocket. For a second Jake thought Dyne was going to pull out a gun, but it was just his deck of cards. Dyne shuffled them, drew the two top cards and threw them at two of the figures on the fire escape. Jake didn’t know what good it would do but when the two fell down he knew that there was something different about Dyne, the third jumped off the fire escape to strike, Dyne Swiped his hand across his deck drawing a lot of cards this time, and fanned them out, Jake noticed that there was 13 cards, all of them Spades.





“Get ready” Dyne said before Jake could react Dyne had jumped at the one who had leapt from the fire escape, with a swift kick the man was on the ground, Dyne threw his cards at him, pinning him to the ground. Dyne landed on the other side of his opponent, it was then that the other two had noticed Jake and Dyne in the alley, Dyne drew another hand of 13, this time all Clubs an threw them at the one holding Trixie, though this time he wasn’t pined to the ground but it had caused him to fall back in pain, dropping Trixie who quickly got out of the line of fire. Six more of the figures then appeared around Dyne who seemed to be perfectly calm. Jake had had enough he moved forward and cried “Dragon UP!” in a burst of flame Jake had transformed into a large red dragon and was ready to join the fight.

***To be continued… ***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 1 – part 2: The Hunts Clan***

Jake rushed in to help Dyne, who was quickly running out of cards while fighting off six opponents. “Hey hunts freaks!” Jake yelled, this attracted the attention of three of the Hunts Clan who turned to face Jake. Dyne was down to his last five cards hen he noticed Jake fighting in dragon form.

‘So I was right about him’ thought Dyne, unfortunately he had let his guard down allowing one of the Hunts Clan to shoot one of their weapons. Dyne tossed the last of his cards to block, the cards immediately burst into emerald green flames when they made contact, at this point Dyne was now seemingly un-armed and the Hunts Clan began to move in, Jake noticed this and jumped and landed in front of him “Its OK, I’ll protect you!” Jake said

“Aren’t you forgetting your own opponents?” Dyne said now turning to see the other three hunts men heading towards them, “You really need to think before you act!” Dyne swung is arms to his sides causing two swords to slip out of his coat sleeves, “Not everyone needs saving…” Dyne was poised for attack but at this point the hunts men seemed to know better, they turned and ran away. The hunts men Jake was fighting also ran, at this point Dyne felt something was wrong.

“Oh yeah! Ya’ll know better then to mess with Am-Drag!”

“Wait, they haven’t left yet…”

“Wha?” Jake said turning to Dyne who was looking strait up.

“Looks like we failed to rescue your friends.” This caused Jake to look up to, there he saw Trixie and Spud tied up and unconscious, there seemed to be a lady amongst the hunts clan, the master then spoke.

“American Dragon if you want your friends back then you’ll have to come get them!” this caused Jake to flew up at the hunts men landing on an adjacent building.

‘Well he’s easy to provoke’ “Don’t forget about me!” The hunts men looked down and Dyne drew his swords back into his sleeves and cried “Here I come!” in a burst of black flame Dyne transformed, not into a Dragon but what appeared to be a cross between Dragon and Human. With an effortless beat of his jet black wings Dyne was standing beside Jake who looked more surprised then concerned about his friends, the hunts men all laughed, “Oh please, don’t think for a second that I can’t completely transform into a dragon, I just chose not to because my power would rip apart the space barriers of your world.” That news caused the hunts clan to stop laughing.

“I thought there was something about you.” Jake said



“Yes well I never knew there were dragons here in the human world, but now is not the time for this, we still have to help your friends.” Jake nodded and turned toward the hunts clan who were still silent, “Hehe, speechless? Then I guess I’ll move first.” Dyne stepped forward, the hunts clan took aim, but before they could fire Dyne was already right in front of them and had a hold on Trixie and Spud, and Jake was amazed with Dyne’s speed. With a simple back flip Dyne was back at Jake’s side and cut Trixie and Spud’s ropes.

“Yo, what’s the deal? Why are you involving my friends in this?” Jake yelled

“Simple, we needed bait.” Said the girl stepping forward

“Rose…” Jake whispered

‘Hmmm, Rose? Must be his girlfriend judging by his actions’ “But your plan has failed, you cannot win against us.” Dyne said confidently

“Humph, we must retreat for now hunts girl, you will have a chance to slay your dragon later” said the hunts master, and they all vanished in a green light.

“So care to talk?” Dyne asked changing back to his human form

“No, I don’t…” Jake changed back too and just bowed his head

“Well, lets take your friends back to your grandfather’s shop, he might want to know what has happened.” Dyne suggested moving over to Trixie and picking her up, Jake nodded and picked up Spud the two walked to the edge of the roof spread their wings and jumped down.

When they returned to Lao Shi’s shop, he was surprised to see Dyne with Jake as well as Trixie and Spud.

“Aye-Ya! What happened!” Lao Shi exclaimed

“That is something your gonna have to explain to me, you can start by telling me who the Hunts Clan are.” Dyne said placing Trixie on the coach.

Then Lao Shi said, “Very well, where shall I start…”


***End Chapter 1***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 2:Traped in the Netherworld***

Lao Shi had finished telling Dyne everything, about the Dragons in the human world, the hunts clan, and Rose. It was when he got to the Dark Dragon that Dyne spoke up.

“The Dark Dragon, that sounds familiar for some reason…”

“Really? Does the Dark Dragon have something to do with the Netherworld?” asked Lao Shi

“Maybe, but what about that Rose girl? If she truly loves Jake then why does she want to kill him?”

“Well Rose has yet to slay a dragon, as such she is not a true member of the Hunts Clan”

Dyne looked over at Jake who had remained quiet this entire time “Well, as the saying goes; you always hurt the ones you love.” Dyne had hoped to get a reaction from Jake, but all he got was Jake’s pent-up anger

“Look can we stop talking about Rose!! Who do you think you are! What I do in my life has nothing to do with you! And just who are you anyway! First you come here looking for a job, you aren’t affect by that mind-erase potion, I see you running down the street to where Trixie and Spud are being attacked by the Hunts Clan, and then suddenly your this great warrior dragon from the netherworld! Just who the hell are you!!!”

“JAKE!” Lao Shi roared

“Its ok, he has every right to be mad, its better that he gets it out of his system now then letting it build up. I do owe an explanation though…” Dyne went on to explain why he had come to the human world, and about Dragon Overlord; Babylon. When Dyne was finished it took everyone a moment to take in all he had said

“The Babylon?” said Lao Shi

“Yep, and he named me the successor to his netherworld,” Dyne turned to Jake “You think you have it bad look at me, I have to take care of and defend an entire Netherworld.” Jake just shifted in his seat not saying anything, knowing he got the message Dyne turned back to Lao Shi “Well anyway I have to be getting back, since I succeeded in his little training exercise I can now return and become the next Overlord.”

“Exercise? What do you mean?” Jake had finally decided to join the conversation

“Well as my last test Lord Babylon wanted me to come here and earn some money, Human money has no value in the Netherworld, but he said it had to do with being able to produce funds for the Netherworld or something.”

“I see, Babylon must be very wise…” said Lao Shi stroking his beard
“Oh, please a lot of us just think he’s senile, but I passed his test and now I can go back.”
Dyne then turned toward the door

“Wait your just gonna leave?” said Jake looking up

“Well yeah, I don’t have a reason to stay here so why should I?” Dyne was now looking directly at Jake

“But you can’t just leave, I thought we were friends—“

“Friends!? We don’t have friends in the Netherworld, you are either an enemy or an ally, there are no friends…” Dyne’s voice was very cold when he spoke Jake was very taken aback by this, he felt sorry for Dyne, he had obviously never had a real friend in his life.

“Well I uhh—“

“You thought we could be friends? Sorry but that just wouldn’t work…”

“But—“

“But nothing! I’m leaving…” Dyne turned and walked out the door.

In the alley outside the shop Dyne had gotten out the special charm and was ready to go home when Jake walked up behind him. “Hey I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. Its not your fault…” He tossed the charm in front of him and the portal to the Netherworld appeared “I don’t blame you but…I guess…” Jake looked up hopefully as Dyne turned around, but someone interrupted

“You know what I think?” said a voice, it was familiar but Dyne couldn’t place where he heard it before, then he realized… “I think I see two slain dragons!!” It was Rose she had jumped down and landed behind Jake and lunged at him knocking Jake into Dyne, and all three of them fell backward into the portal.

Dyne fell face first into he ground, he was about to get up, but Jake and Rose then landed on top of him. Jake started to get up until he realized it was Rose who was on top of him “Rose! What are you doing?”

“Jake…get…off…” Dyne groaned

“Rose, hey Rose!”

“Jake get off!”

“Oh! Dyne sorry I just…” Jake quickly moved Rose and got off Dyne who got up and straightened his back, which cracked loudly.

“Yeah, yeah…oh s***” Jake looked up to see what Dyne was looking at, it was the charm that Dyne used to open the portal, it was melting on the ground. “Well this isn’t good, now we can’t get back to the Human world…”

“What? How did that happen!” Jake yelled

“Well that charm was made to transport ONE person between here and the human world, so when you and Rose fell in with me it off-set the balance of the charm’s energy…”

“So what does that mean?”

“It means you two are stuck here until we get another one from Babylon.”

“Uhhh…what happened?” Rose was starting to wake up “Jake? No! Wh-where am I? I-I Jake I’m…”

“Syllables and sentences child…” said Dyne “But if you must know where you are, you are now in the Netherworld, and thanks to you the only way back is gone.” Dyne began walking up a nearby hill; Jake helped Rose up and followed him. When they reached the top Jake and Rose’s jaws dropped, the landscape was barren and dark with the smell of death everywhere. “Welcome to the Netherworld…”

***End Chapter 2***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 3: Life, Love, and Death***

“This is the Netherworld?” Jake said taking in the less then satisfying view, “But everything is dead…nothing could live here.”

“That is where your wrong…”Dyne turned around to look at Jake who was still holding Rose, “You know, there is one thing I don’t get.”

“What?” Rose asked

“Even though you two love each other, why is it that you want to slay Jake? Just what will come of losing the one that you love?”

“Well…I…” Rose looked down; Jake then stepped into the conversation

“You know for someone who has no friends I wouldn’t be asking about other people’s relationships.”

“I said that ‘there are no friends in the Netherworld’, I never said that we do not fall in love from time to time. But anyway what about you, Jake, this girl wants to kill you and yet your holding her in your arms protecting her. What makes you think she won’t kill you here?”

Jake did not answer, “Well Rose? Are you going to answer my question from earlier or not?”

“Well…its because…” Rose began but something interrupted her

“Look its Master Dyne, doods!” Jake, Rose, and Dyne looked over to see what looked like a bunch of small, blue penguins heading toward them.

“Yo, what are those things?” Jake asked

“Prinnies, the labor force of the Netherworld. And since they are here we must not be to far away from Babylon’s Castle.” Dyne began to walk toward the little penguins; Jake hesitated for a moment but followed him. “So what happened while I was away?”

“Master Dyne! Its terrible dood!” Cried one of the Prinnies “The castle has been attacked! A bunch of weird, shadow things are attacking the castle! Dood, you gotta do something! The army has already been destroyed, Lord Babylon sent us to look for you, but he’s all alone dood!”

“What!?” Dyne yelled “Quickly which way is the castle!” One of the Prinnies pointed to Dyne’s left, Dyne then turned toward Jake “Listen, I’m gonna need your help if whoever is attacking Babylon managed to defeat the entire army, can I count on you?”

Jake and Rose both nodded “I guess I’ll just have to wait to slay my first dragon then” Jake looked at Rose then tossed her high in the air and cried “Dragon UP!” he transformed and caught Rose as she fell back down.

“Yeah well just make sure you don’t kill Jake until after we’re done here. Here I come!” Dyne transformed into his half-dragon form and picked up the Prinnies “Alright now lets go and save Babylon!” And they all flew off toward the direction of the castle…


***To Be Continued***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 3 – part 2: The Dragon Overlord vs. The Dark Dragon***

The castle was starting to come into view as Dyne, Jake, Rose, and the Prinnies made their approach. When they were just outside the gate they were caught in an ambush from the enemy. It was a large group of shadow dragons! Dyne set the Prinnies down and rushed in to attack, Jake and Rose right behind him, the Prinnies joined in shortly after.
Dyne dispatched the first group of shadow dragons without much difficulty but with every one he destroyed two more appeared. The same situation was occurring with the others as well, then Dyne made his desition “Its useless to stay here, they are only trying to slow us down!”

“He’s right Jake, they’re just going to keep coming!” said Rose

“Ok, lets go!” Jake yelled

“Prinnies fall back to the main hall!” Dyne ordered and the Prinnies obeyed

The six of them made their way into the castle defeating any shadow dragons that got in the way, when they got to the main hall they say a white, feather winged dragon fighting alone. “Sienna!” Dyne yelled, and the dragon looked over and seemed glad to see Dyne. At this point Dyne heard what seemed to be a large-scale battle just inside the throne room ‘It can’t be!’ “Sienna where’s Babylon!”

“He’s fighting the Dark Dragon in the throne room! I don’t know how much longer he can hold him off!” Sienna called back

“Prinnies help Sienna! Jake, Rose come with me, we have to help Babylon!” Dyne, Rose and Jake headed in the direction of the throne room leaving Sienna and the Prinnies to fend off the shadow dragons.

When they entered the throne room the three of them saw Babylon and the Dark Dragon locked in fierce combat. “You’re weak old man!” roared the Dark Dragon and he slashed a Babylon with his claws leaving a large wound on his side.

“There’s still fight in me yet!” and Babylon summoned his power, imprisoning the Dark Dragon in a large ice pillar.

“He did it!” Jake yelled

“No, its not over yet, if that was all it took to beat the Dark Dragon then Babylon would have won a long time ago.” Dyne leapt forward, and just as he predicted the Dark Dragon had broken away from his icy seal, luckily Dyne was in a good position to deliver a kick right at his head causing the Dark Dragon to fall over in pain, “My lord are you alright?” Dyne asked Babylon

“It will take more than that wiper-snapper to defeat me.”

The Dark Dragon got up and noticed that he was now out numbered “Grrr, the American Dragon, and the Hunts Clan? You still haven’t won yet Babylon!”

“We’ll see about that!” Dyne yelled and transformed back into his human form

“What are you doing!?” Rose yelled

“He’ll kill you in your human form!” bellowed Jake

“Dark Dragon, I’ll see you in hell!!” then something happened, it was as if the netherworld itself was trembling at what was about to come. In a tornado of black flames Dyne transformed into his full-dragon form for the first time since he met Jake. In his dragon form Dyne was somewhat larger than Jake, jet-black scales and wings, large horns on his head, and a white mane with a blue tint. The new Dragon Overlord was ready to defend his netherworld to the death. “Now you’re going to feel my wraith!!” Dyne flew at the Dark Dragon ramming him into the wall. More shadow dragons were beginning to pour into the throne room as Sienna and the Prinnies were being pushed back, Rose and Jake moved to help them, Babylon went to help Dyne.

The Dark Dragon was thrown through the wall by Dyne and he took to the skies waiting for Dyne to continue his attacks. Dyne flew out so quickly that the Dark Dragon couldn’t react in time, Dyne then shot his ice breath at the Dark Dragon blinding him for a moment allowing Babylon to wrap around the Dark Dragon, squeezing him tightly.

Meanwhile Jake and the others were having trouble holding the Shadow Dragons back. “We have to do something before we get killed!” Jake yelled

“But what can we do, we’re completely out numbered!” Rose yelled back

“Wait I have an idea, Prinnies cover me!” Sienna said

“Aye-Aye dood!” and the Prinnies all moved in front of Sienna, Jake and Rose moved to cover Sienna’s flank. Sienna then focused her power into her wings which started to shine, and she called out “Divine Judgment!” with a great beat of her feathery wings a beam of light shot out in front of Sienna, causing all the shadow dragons in front of her to vanish, all that was left were the few that had made their way behind her that Jake and Rose were fighting.

Dyne and Babylon were ready to finish the Dark Dragon off when he sensed what had happened in the castle “This isn’t over dragons!” and he vanished along with the rest of the shadow dragons. Dyne and Babylon returned to the throne room where the others were waiting.

“Dyne you did it!” Sienna said rushing up to Dyne and kissing him

Jake and Rose were at a loss until Dyne said to them “Well, didn’t I tell you that we still fall in love?”

***End Chapter 3***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 4 – A Friend, a dragon, and a twist!***

Two days after the fight with the Dark Dragon. Jake and Rose were about to leave for the Human world now that things were beginning to return to normal in the Netherworld, Dyne and Sienna were walking them out of the castle.

“So what will you do when you get back?” Dyne asked

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Jake retorted

“Well here in the Netherworld, you and Rose would not have to fight. That reminds me, why is it that you want to slay Jake so badly Rose?” Dyne turned to Rose and waited

“Well…” Rose began “Well its because…I love him…”

“I don’t follow.” Said Sienna

“Well, if I had to slay my first dragon, I wanted it to be Jake, because eventually I would still have to slay him one day. And even if I didn’t there was no guarantee that one of the other Hunts men wouldn’t kill him. I guess, I’m just a fool then…”

“Well now young one, seems you have quiet the dilemma.” Everyone turned around to see Babylon, fully recovered, coming towards them, “I know of the Hunts Clan in the Human world, and of their traditions.”

“What are you getting at Babylon?” asked Dyne

“That birthmark on your hand child, it is not hat of the Hunts clan.” Everyone thought that Babylon was just being senile again.

“That’s not possible, the Hunts Master showed me, I am destined to slay dragons.” This made Babylon laugh

“Child, do you think I would joke about something as serious as this?”

“Yes.” Dyne commented

“You shut up!” Babylon looked angry, but continued talking “That birthmark does not make you part of the Hunts Clan, it makes you quiet the opposite, you are…” everyone moved closer to hear what Babylon had to say “…. ZZZZZZZZZZ”

“Hey! Babylon wake up!” Sienna yelled

“Tell me! What does my birthmark mean!?” Rose was more eager to hear what Babylon was going to say then everyone.

Babylon woke up “What? I’m not sleeping! Now, where was I? Oh yes, the birthmark, it does not make you a part of the Hunts Clan…”

“Yeah you said that before, now get to the point!” Dyne was growing impatient

“Well every millennia or so there is one born with outrageous power, and that person bears a special mark.” Babylon seemed very serious all of a sudden “You my dear child, are the legendary Cosmic Dragon, a Dragon of immense power.” Rose just stared in disbelief, Jake’s jaw dropped, even Sienna was speechless, and then Dyne said

“And just how do you know all of this?”

“Well, my wife was also a Cosmic Dragon, and I recognize that birthmark on the girls hand, it is a perfect match of my wife’s.” now even Dyne was silenced with disbelief “It is very much possible that the Hunts Master knew what that birthmark meant, it is similar to the mark of the Hunts clan so it was easy for him to fool you.”

“You…you can’t be serious…a…dragon…me?” Rose could barely say that much before she fainted. Jake had come out of his own trance in time to catch her, he then turned to Babylon.

“You’re…not joking are you?” Dyne knew that Jake did not believe Babylon.

“No, I am not. I remember that mark with absolute clarity, it is one in the same with the one my wife had.” Babylon, for once, seemed to actually know what he was talking about.

“But if Rose is a dragon, and the Cosmic Dragon at that, then how come she doesn’t know it. I mean sure the Hunts Clan tricked her into believing she was one of them. But how could she not have her powers, she must have been at least one situation where her powers would have protected her?” Sienna asked Babylon

“As old and wise as I am, I’m afraid that I do not have all of the answers. Though I will say that it is possible that the Hunts Clan found a way of sealing her power.” Babylon was looking a Jake who seemed to be crying, “What is wrong young dragon?”

“I’m…I’m just so happy that…Rose…” Jake pulled Rose close to him and cried into her shoulder.

“Well now, this is something of a twist I’d say.” Dyne went over to Jake and Rose then knelt down “Maybe there is a way for all this to work out…”

“Really?” Jake looked at Dyne with tears still in his eyes.

“Of course…what else are…friends for?”

“Dyne…” Sienna now had tears in her eyes as well

“Don’t Sienna, or you’ll make me cry too…” Dyne was now on the verge of tears as well.

“Hehehe, well I’ll just leave you young'ins alone for a while, and Dyne…” Dyne looked over to Babylon ready for a scolding but then Babylon said “There is nothing wrong with having friends, it is an essential part of being an Overlord.” And Babylon left

“Babylon…you old fool.” And Dyne started to cry, Sienna went to comfort him. For the first time Dyne actually had someone he could call a friend.

***End Chapter 4***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 5: Returning with a friend***

The scene starts with Lao Shi pacing back and forth in his shop. “Aye-Ya, where could Jake have gone!?”

Fu Dog, Trixie and Spud were also in the room with him “Hey chill old man, I’m sure that wherever Jake is he’s perfectly fine. Besides even if that Dyne freak did something to him we’re uhh…wait that didn’t come out right.” Trixie was trying to find better words to encourage Lao Shi when Spud began to talk.

“Well, its not like that Dyne guy can use all his dragon powers right? Since Jake can use his he can take him down easy.”

“Wow Spud you really do have a brain. Homeboy is right, you need to calm down.”

“But how can I calm down when his father has begun to worry, if Jake doesn’t come home soon the authorities will get involved and the Dragon Council and Aye-Ya!” A portal just appeared in the middle of Lao Shi’s shop and everyone jumped, first Dyne then Sienna came threw, followed by Jake who was still carrying Rose who had not woken up yet. “Jake! Aye-Ya what happened!!”

“Well that can be explained over a cup of tea.” Dyne said casually

“Yo hold up,” said Trixie stepping forward “You think you can just kidnap our best friend for two days and just came back and explain yourself over tea? You must be buggin’ cause we don’t trust you.”

“Its Ok Trixie, he’s my friend.” Jake said placing Rose on the couch

“Your friend you say?” Lao Shi looked confused since the last time he had seen Dyne he had yelled at Jake for even mentioning the word

“Yeah, and I’m now the Dragon Overlord so Jake can expect a lot of help from me when he needs it.” Dyne seemed much happier to Lao Shi who then said

“Very well, and who are you young lady?”

“Oh you flatter me Tee-Hee. I’m Sienna, Dyne’s loving girlfriend. And who are all of you I might ask.” Sienna looked around and after introductions were over they begun on the matter at hand.

“Aye-Ya!! The Cosmic Dragon!!” Lao Shi shouted

“Yep, that’s what Babylon had said.” Dyne had just finished telling Lao Shi about the Dark Dragon’s attack on Babylon and what Babylon said about Rose

“But how is this even possible…”Lao Shi looked very puzzled by this

“Well, we all know Babylon is a little senile, but he did seem to know what he was talking about, he said his wife was a Cosmic Dragon as well.” Sienna then took a sip of her tea and looked over to Rose still unconscious

“But if what this Babylon guy says is true and the Cosmic Dragon is only born every millennia then how was his wife a Cosmic Dragon and Rose a Cosmic Dragon?” Trixie was prying for answers

“Well, Netherworld Dragons live much-much longer then Dragons here in the human world,” Dyne started “I for example am 1431 years old.”

“Say what? You don’t look any older than me, I thought I was the older one!” Jake was really surprised by this

“Well if your 1400 years old, then how old is Baby-lon?” Spud asked

“Its Babylon, and he is the oldest known Overlord, he is over 8000 years old.”

Then Fu Dog said, “Wow and I thought Jake’s gramps was old, this guy must be some kind of fossil!” Lao Shi looked at Fu Dog who quickly said “But you look just fine for your age…”

Lao Shi turned back to Dyne “Well then what about Rose? How are we going to make sure what Babylon says is true?”

“Well, Babylon said that when the Hunts Master first found Rose he might have known then who Rose was and found a way of sealing her power.” Said Sienna

“Hmmmm, that would be possible, if the powers had not yet awakened then it could be done even to someone as strong as the Cosmic Dragon…”

“Yeah but how do we unseal them grampa? We can’t just leave Rose like this!” Dyne could tell Jake really wanted to know

“Well, it is not simple that’s for sure.” Dyne took another sip of his tea “Even though the Dragon Powers had not awakened they would still eventually overcome any conventional sealing technique, there must be something capable of this somewhere.”

“Hmmm, the Seal of the Seven Sins…” Lao Shi mumbled

“No way, the Hunts Clan couldn’t have done anything that stupid, could they?” Fu Dog looked alarmed and Jake asked

“What’s the ‘Seal of the Seven Sins’?”

“It is a very powerful seal that is very dangerous to its caster, it requires seven sacrifices, each having committed one of the Seven Deadly Sins.” Sienna s explained

“It is also a powerful weapon in the Netherworld, anyone who can tap that power in the Netherworld can become and Overlord…Overlord…that’s it! That’s why the Dark Dragon was in the Netherworld, he was trying to get the Seven Sins!” Dyne had been wondering the Dark Dragon’s purpose for attacking Babylon for some time now

”If that is true then this is very serious, not only will Rose be unable to use her Dragon Powers as a result of the seal, but if the Dark Dragon can tap the Seven Sins’ power then nothing would be able to stop him.” Lao Shi looked worried

“If that’s true then we’ll just have to find a way of removing the seal…” Everyone jumped to see that Rose had been awake for a while now then Lao Shi asked

“Do you have any ideas on how to do that Rose?”

“Yes,” Rose began “We go to the Hunts Lair.”

***End Chapter 5***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 6: Invading the Hunts Lair***

Rose led Jake and the others to a large tower near the center of NYC.

“This place is the Hunts Lair?” Jake asked

“Yeah, this tower is actually home to many of the Hunts Clan, we are going to have to move with caution to avoid detection.” Rose then motioned for everyone to move forward following her closely. They made their way to the top floor without being noticed, and they entered a large room.

“Hey I remember this place, but I didn’t see anything while I was here last time.” Said Jake

“That’s because you didn’t know where to look.” Rose then pulled on a lamp causing one of the bookshelves to move revealing a secret passage. “This corridor leads to the library, if there is anything here that can help us, its gonna be in there,” They all went down the winding stairs to an old library that seemed out of place in such a modern building.

“This place is amazing.” Lao Shi couldn’t resist looking amongst the old books until Jake dragged him away.

“Stay focused gramps, we’re looking for books about the Seven Sins” Jake looked at Dyne, “Well Dyne, you and Sienna know more about what we’re looking for than any of us, start looking.”

“Hey what about me?” said Fu Dog, who no one had realized was actually there. “What am I, Chopped liver?”

“Yes, yes you are.” Said Dyne then he and everyone else looked around

“Why I oughta…” said Fu Dog before going to look himself

After looking around with no success there was a noise that caused everyone to panic, someone was coming down into the library. “Everyone hide…” Rose whispered and they did, but Rose went to meat the person who was coming.

“Hunts Girl where have you been!?” it was the Hunts Master

“I have been pursuing the American Dragon master, and I overheard the boy that was with him mention something about the Power of the Seven Sins and that anyone who can use it could rule the world!” Rose was a good actor.

“Well now I suppose you thought that maybe that you may find something about it in the library?” said the Hunts Master, everyone was waiting for what would come next, then the Hunts Master spoke again “Well then let me show you…”

“Thank you Hunts Master.” Then Rose and the Hunts Master re-entered the library, the Hunts Master walked past every shelf to the back wall, everyone remained tensely still to avoid being noticed. The Hunts Master then felt along the back well until he pressed a secret switch causing another passage to appear.

“This is where you’ll find what you are looking for…” and the Hunts Master entered the corridor, Rose just behind him. When they were sure the Hunts Master was far enough away everyone silently followed. At the end of the corridor was a small alter with a single old book on it. "This book has the secrets of the Seven Sins within it, if what you say is true then another look into its power would be worth while…”

“Another look Hunts Master?” Rose asked, clearly wanting to here the truth from her former master’s mouth.

“Yes, once before I had used its power to seal away the one dragon that could stop us…”

“And what dragon was that Hunts Master?”

“A legendary dragon with infinite power, the Cosmic Dragon…But now with this book and what that boy said, we will be able to rule the world!”

“Yeah to bad we’re gonna stop you!” The Hunts Master turned around and saw Jake, Dyne, Sienna, and Lao Shi ready to attack; Fu Dog was still hiding in the corridor.

“Dragons! Hunts Girl prepare for battle!” the Hunts Master had fear in his voice

“No Hunts Master, I know what you did, and I want my power back!” Rose charged the Hunts Master who caught her attack and threw her back, Jake caught her and Dyne moved in, Sienna just behind him. But the Hunts Master vanished in a green light, his voice echoed for a moment.

“You fools, none of you are going to leave this compound alive!!”

“We must leave now!” Lao Shi yelled and everyone ran down the corridor, Jake tripped over Fu Dog who had fell, but got up and continued to run, Fu huffing behind him. When they returned to the large room outside the library they saw the Hunts Master who was surrounded by a few dozen Hunts Men.

“Hunts Girl, you have one last chance, return to my side or you will be destroyed along with these dragons!” roared the Hunts Master

“Never! You took my power away, you had me un-knowingly fight the man I love. I’ll never go back to you!” Rose screamed

“Jake, lets kick it up!” Said Dyne

“Right, Dragon UP!” Jake cried

“Lets GO!” Sienna yelled

“Here I COME!” Dyne called out

“Hiya!” said Lao Shi

Jake and Lao Shi transformed into their dragon forms, Dyne and Sienna into their half-dragon forms.

“Your not alone Rose.” Dyne said

“Yeah, we’re all here for you” said Sienna

“Yes, we all care for you.” Said Lao Shi

“And I love you too, now lets get this Hunts Freak!” yelled Jake, and the fight began

***End Chapter 6***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 7: The Hunts Master’s Last Stand***

The fight broke out with great intensity, Dyne and Sienna charged in first to get the attention of as many huntsmen as possible so the others could focus on the Hunts Master. Dyne was faced with 16 opponents and Sienna 13, the remaining hunts men stayed with the Hunts Master who still had the book. Jake, Lao Shi, and Rose moved to attack the Hunts Master, the odds more in their favor now with Jake fighting 3 hunts men, and Lao Shi fighting 4, Rose focused on the Hunts Master.

Dyne was completely surrounded but wasn’t worried “You are all gonna regret messing with me.” Dyne laid in a few kicks and punches on the hunts before they decided to fight a distance rather that getting close, “That won’t save you from this, Freeze CLAW!” and Dyne thrust his hand into the floor and a number of ice pillars shot up around him and the hunts men trapping them together. “Come on let’s play…”

Sienna was dazzling her opponents by gracefully dancing around their every attack “Come on boys, you wouldn’t hit a lady would you?” The hunts men continued their attack to no avail “This is boring, let me show you how it is done.” Sienna raised her hand and a white flame appeared, she took aim and shot it at one of the hunts men, hitting right where it hurt most “Tee-hee, this is fun.” Sienna then continued firing randomly…

Jake was also winning his fight, though he wasn’t as outnumbered as Dyne or Sienna “Hey, come on hunts freaks, lets see what you got. Lets see what you got.” Jake was then hit right in the chest by one of their weapons knocking the wind out of him “Yeah…that answers my question, now it’s my turn!”

Lao Shi was having little trouble with his fight as well “Come, let us test your will power…” The hunts men tried in vain to land a blow on Lao Shi who said, “Your skills are not nearly enough to win this battle…” Lao Shi then knocked out all of his opponents with one swift blow…

Dyne was also finishing his fight leaving some badly beaten hunts men in a ring of ice pillars. Sienna had hurt the hunts men’s pride more than anything when she had finished. Jake however was taking to long so Dyne finished his opponents for him, all that was left was Rose and the Hunts Master, who were no where to be seen. “Rose!” Jake called out, but there was no answer.

“Wait listen…”Dyne said putting a hand to his ear, there were still sounds of fighting, they appeared to be above them…

“The roof!” Sienna yelled pointing to an open window, and they all flew out to see Rose losing to the Hunts Master on a narrow ledge.

“I took you in and this is how you repay me!” yelled the Hunts Master firing at Rose who dodged barley.

“You took my life away! I will never forgive you!” Rose ran in a kicked the Hunts Master hard in the chest; he lost balance and dropped the book. Sienna swooped down and caught it.

“Rose!” Jake yelled again and went to fly toward her but Dyne stopped him “Hey, what are you doing?”

“This is Rose’s fight, we will be her if she needs us, but we need to let her fight alone.” Dyne looked very serious

“But—“ Jake started

“He is right young one,” Lao Shi explained “We must let Rose fight her own fights…” Jake didn’t want to, but did as he was told and watched Rose fight.

Rose continued to push her former master back until he was at the very edge of the building, then he pleaded “Wait hunts girl, don’t do this—“

“My name is Rose, and I am not your hunts girl any more!” Rose laid in the final blow, and the Hunts Master fell from the building and out of sight.

“Rose you did it!” Jake flew towards Rose, but as he did she fainted and started to fall. Jake caught her before he had hit the ground.

“She must be exhausted, after what has happened its no surprise.” Sienna said

“Yes, well let us take her to the shop, and Jake you need to go home, I will call your mother and tell he that you’re coming.” Said Lao Shi and then flew off in the direction of Lao Shi’s shop. When they got there Trixie and Spud greeted them.

“So how did it go, you get what you was lookin’ for?” asked Trixie

“Yep, but Rose needs some rest now, she has had a long day.” Said Sienna and they all walked inside. Jake placed Rose on the couch and covered her with a blanket. Lao Shi then walked into the room back in his human form.

“Jake I just spoke with your mother, she is waiting for you at home.”

“Thanks gramps, take care of Rose for me Ok?” said Jake

“Of course young one.” Said Lao Shi, and Jake went out the door and flew away.

“Well we got to be going home too, our parents probably wonder where we at, come on Spud.” Trixie then dragged Spud out the door.

“Huh? Wha?” Spud said in confusion, Sienna chuckled

“Well, its time for us to head home too, we will see you later Lao Shi.” Sid Dyne and he pulled out the new charm and placed on the floor this time, to reveal the portal. Dyne stepped into it and sank into the floor, but this time the portal remained open for Sienna.

“See you later. Tee-Hee” and Sienna stepped inside too, vanishing into the floor.

“This is going to be some experience eh Fu Dog…Fu Dog?” Lao Shi looked around but Fu Dog was nowhere in site.

“He guys?” Fu was still at the tower where the rest of the Hunts Men were still out cold “Guys?”

***End Chapter 7***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 8: Breaking the Seal***

The next day everyone was at the shop except Jake who had been lectured all night by his father, his mother, knowing what actually had happened, tried to take it easy on Jake by giving him the “heavy” punishment of doing manual labor for Lao Shi. When Jake finally walked in everyone turned to look at him. “Sorry I’m late.” Said Jake scratching his head “My dad wouldn’t stop telling me to come straight home every night for the next three years…so how was it?” Jake asked looking at Dyne

“Well, thanks to Babylon we were able to figure out how the seal on Rose’s power can be broken.” Dyne got out an orb that showed the image of what looked like a tree “The answer is at this tree, it is the only means of purifying the Seven Sins.”

“So what’s so special about this tree?” Trixie asked

“It is known as the Yggdrasil tree.” Said Lao Shi

“Hey I remember that from what of professor Rotwood’s lectures, its supposed to be some magical tree that has existed since the beginning of time.” Jake explained

“Yes well I suppose that Professor Rotwood cannot be wrong all the time.” Lao Shi said stroking his beard

“Yeah, but getting to it is the hard part.” Said Sienna

“What’s so hard about finding some big tree?” asked Trixie

“Well the Yggdrasil tree exists in the nexus between worlds, the tree’s roots are said to bridge the gaps between those worlds…” said Lao Shi

“So we just find one of those roots and follow it to the tree.” Said Jake

“Haven’t you been listening Jake, its not that simple.” Said Fu Dog who had made his way back during the night

“Even though the tree has a massive amount of magical energy in it and is easy to detect as a whole, the roots however lack almost all traces of that energy, we could find those roots and not even realize it.” Said Dyne

“So what do we do?” said Rose walking out of the back room.

Dyne turned toward Rose “Simple, we go to the Netherworld.”

“The Nether-what?” said Spud

“The Netherworld, since the it is full of dark energy anything pure such as the roots of Yggdrasil can be easy to detect.” Said Dyne

“So what are we waiting for, lets go!” said Jake

“Jake have you not forgotten, your father is angry enough as it is, you cannot leave just yet.” Said Lao Shi

“But gramps we have to go!” yelled Jake

“Its Ok Jake, I have thought of a way around this.” Said Dyne “Sienna, if you would be so kind…” Sienna stepped in front of Jake and touched his forehead with her soft hand. Jake felt a strange sensation run through his body and then it was gone; Sienna turned around and said something that Jake couldn’t understand. There was a flash and a second Jake has standing in the room now “Well what do you think, Trixie, Spud and Fu Dog can keep an eye on this copy while we look for Yggdrasil.”

“Cool, why didn’t you say so earlier! Lets go!” Said Jake, admiring how much his clone looked like him.

“Right shall we?” and Dyne placed the charm on the floor and Sienna, Lao Shi, Rose, and the real Jake all stepped in and vanished “Make sure you keep an eye on that clone, they are not always perfect.” And Dyne stepped into the portal and vanished.

When everyone emerged from the portal they were all at Babylon’s castle. “Man, never thought I’d be here again…” said Jake looking around; the castle had been repaired since the Dark Dragons attack three days ago.

“My, my this place is interesting…”said Lao Shi who was also taking in the sights.

“Yes well, first lets go talk to Babylon, he should be able to point us in the right direction.” Said Dyne walking into the castle

“Well now, good to see you again young dragon, and cosmic dragon…and who is this, I do not believe we have met before…” said Babylon looking at Lao Shi

“I am Lao Shi, Jake’s dragon master. It is an honor to meet you Lord Babylon.” Lao Shi said bowing

“Yes, you taught your student very well Dragon Master, now then I assume you came here to ask me about the Yggdrasil tree correct?” said Babylon

“Yeah, do you know where any of the roots pass by the Netherworld?” asked Dyne

“Hehe, of course the nexus of my Netherworld is here beneath the castle. Which is why I built it here.” Said Babylon

“Hmmm, very wise…”said Lao Shi

“I never new that.” Said Dyne

“SO how do we get there?” asked Rose

“Simple, place the charm on the ground here Dyne” said Babylon, and Dyne did as he was told, but instead of opening a portal the floor vanished revealing a stairway. “Follow those stairs and you will reach one of the roots of Yggdrasil, you can follow it back to the main tree.”

“Thanks Babylon.” Said Dyne and everyone descended the stairs

“Whoa look.” Jake said, and there was a large ancient root at the end of the passage.

“We have to fly from here let’s go.” Said Sienna, everyone sprouted their wings and Jake lifted Rose to carry her, they made there way down the long winding root in what appeared to be nothingness and then they saw it.

The Yggdrasil tree looked ancient but they could feel a calming aura radiating from it, shining in a faint blue-green light. They made their way to the base of the tree and landed, Rose then seemed to be in a trance. “Rose?” Jake asked

“I can feel it…” said Rose “My power…I can feel it!” Rose began to have a faint, rainbow glow.

“Bwahahaha! Thanks for leading me here, now you’ll all die!” everyone turned around and there was the Dark Dragon

***End Chapter 8***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 9: Return of the Dark Dragon***

“What are you doing here!?” Jake yelled at the Dark Dragon

“Isn’t it obvious?” said the Dark Dragon “I’m here for the power of the Seven Sins!”

“To bad its not here!” said Dyne

“Oh but it is…” said the Dark Dragon smirking “When Yggdrasil purifies the girl of the seal, the Power of the Seven Sins goes into the tree until it can be slowly distributed to each world. But if I cut down the Yggdrasil Tree shortly after this girl is purified, then I can attain the power!”

“Your crazy!” Sienna yelled

“Maybe, but nothing will stand in my way of total domination of the universe!” the Dark Dragon began to charge at the Yggdrasil tree

“No you don’t” Sienna fired a burst of white flame at the Dark Dragon hitting him in the eyes causing him to stop in pain.

“We got to stop him! If he destroy Yggdrasil now then Rose won’t regain here powers!” said Lao Shi

“Right, Dragon UP!” Yelled Jake

“See you in HELL!” yelled Dyne

“I won’t hold BACK!” yelled Sienna

“Hiya!” yelled Lao Shi

Everyone transformed into their dragon forms, Dyne and Sienna charged in first, ramming the Dark Dragon and pushing him away from Yggdrasil. The aura around Rose was beginning to glow brighter as the seal was removed. Jake and Lao Shi hit the Dark Dragon with their fire breath, but the Dark Dragon swung at them knocking them back into the Yggdrasil tree. “You will not stop my quest for ultimate power!” he yelled

“Too bad, Sienna lets do it!” said Dyne

“Right” Sienna and Dyne moved to opposite sides of the Dark Dragon and began to circle him, the Dark Dragon tried to swat them away but couldn’t hit them, then Dyne and Sienna began their combo attack.

“May my enemy be consumed by the darkness…” Dyne whispered and was enveloped in a black flame.

“May my enemy vanish in the light…” Sienna whispered and was enveloped in a white flame, they then began circling the Dark Dragon faster and faster until the trail of the two flames met and a great power was unleashed.

“Heaven Hell!” Dyne and Sienna yelled and the Dark Dragon was caught and a tornado of golden flame. Rose’s seal was almost completely gone, Jake and Lao Shi had finally gotten back up to see the golden tornado around the Dark Dragon

“Whoa, what is that?” said Jake

“Grrrr, this wont stop me!!!” yelled the Dark Dragon and then started to push through the vortex. Dyne and Sienna then broke off their attack to move between the Dark Dragon and Yggdrasil. “You are not going to stop me!”

“Big words, but can you back them up?” said Dyne

“Yes I can!” and the Dark Dragon summoned a large amount of Shadow Dragons, which surrounded the four of them.

“You just had to say something didn’t you?” said Jake

“Oh shut up!” yelled Dyne “We can handle this, you two get the Dark Dragon!” and Jake and Lao Shi moved to attack the Dark Dragon leaving Dyne and Sienna with the shadow dragons. The seal was almost gone but that Dark Dragon was getting closer to the Yggdrasil tree, pushing Jake and Lao Shi back. Dyne and Sienna were still surrounded by shadow dragons. Then the seal was completely released and Rose fainted; the Yggdrasil tree began to shine.

“That power will be mine!” roared the Dark Dragon and swatted Jake and Lao Shi out of the way, the Dark Dragon thrust his claws into the Yggdrasil true.

“NOOO!!!” Jake yelled but it was too late, the Dark Dragon tore the Yggdrasil tree in half and absorbed the power of the Seven Sins.

“YES!!! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!” the Dark Dragon then flew off down the roots that led to Babylon’s Netherworld followed closely by the shadow dragons “Now I’ll take care of Babylon and then no one will be able to stop me!”

“Jake get Rose, we have to stop the Dark Dragon!” yelled Dyne, Jake picked up Rose who was still unconscious and they all flew back toward the Netherworld.

“Babylon…please be Ok…” Said Sienna

“Don’t worry, we will get there in time…” said Dyne

“Yes, we must get there in time, we have to stop the Dark Dragon.” Said Lao Shi

“I just hope Rose will be Ok…” said Jake, everyone looked at him and nodded, then they raced off to the Netherworld…

***End Chapter 9***

[Lamort]

***Chapter 10: The Dragon Overlord’s Ascent***

When everyone had made it to the end of the tunnel and up the stairs they were horror struck. The castle was unrecognizable, almost everything was gone. “Babylon!” Dyne yelled, and flew out of the castle; the others soon followed but were not prepared for what they were about to see.

Babylon was fighting the Dark Dragon and losing “This is the end for you old man!” roared the Dark Dragon and he shot a large beam of darkness at Babylon. The beam hit Babylon, and passed straight through him, Babylon howled in pain.

“NOOOO!” Dyne screamed, and flew at the Dark Dragon they locked fists and were evenly matched; Dyne’s fury was enough to level the playing field between them. “I will make you pay for what you have done!!” and Dyne used his ice breath and the Dark Dragon was blinded, Sienna moved next to Dyne and they were ready to combo “The flame of darkness rages within me!” Dyne yelled

“The flame of light blazes brightly within me!’ Sienna yelled, and as before they were both wrapped in a black and white flame but this time their form of attack was different, they weaved in and out of each others path until a golden streak was formed, and the charged at the Dark Dragon.

“Flame of the lost Paradise!” they yelled, this was their ultimate combo, they hit the Dark Dragon directly throwing him back and driving him into a cliff.

“This isn’t over, I will return to destroy you!” said the Dark Dragon, and he vanished. Dyne then rushed over to Babylon.

“My lord are you alright?” asked Dyne

Babylon coughed up blood and said “Dyne…you…don’t need to call me lord anymore…you are…the new Dragon Overlord…I know that you will succeed in defeating the Dark Dragon now that the Cosmic Dragon has been awakened…”

“Please my lord don’t speak, you need to save your strength!” cried Sienna

“No…it is alright…Dyne…I have faith in you…but remember…you cannot…defeat the Dark Dragon alone…” Babylon coughed again his voice growing weaker “You…must work with your friends in order to succeed…you…the American Dragon…Sienna…Lao Shi…and the Cosmic Dragon…are the only hope that…anyone has…of seeing the Dark Dragon’s end…you must……”

“Babylon? Babylon!” Dyne yelled, but it was to late…

Dragon Overlord; Babylon, was dead…

“NOOOOOO!!!” Sienna screamed and collapsed into tears, Lao Shi came up behind her a consoled her, Jake came over to Dyne, Rose still in his arms.

“Dyne I…” but Jake couldn’t find the words to help his friend

“It’s…alright Jake…I think…Babylon knew it would end like this…” and Dyne began to cry.



Several days later…

“Thanks for coming…” Dyne said to Jake who was wearing black

“No problem” said Jake

“It is necessary for us to pay our respects, the Dragon Council is also here” said Lao Shi pointing to several people behind him, all of them wearing black.

“Thank you very much…” Dyne said bowing to his guests

“So how is Sienna?” asked Rose

“She’s still crying in her room, I don’t know if she will come out for the burial…” said Dyne sadly “The ceremony is about to begin, why don’t you take your seats”

“Ok” said Jake and they all walked outside

At the burial there were many people there along with demons, other dragons, and Prinnies. Dyne along with several people that Jake did not know walked down the aisle with a casket that contained Babylon’s body, they placed it on the alter and took their seats, except for one, a man with long red hair. Jake new he was about to speak, but he didn’t listen, all that had happened was the Dark Dragon’s fault and he was still out there somewhere plotting his next move he may even attack now “He’s not stupid you know…” Jake looked and there was Dyne sitting next to him

“What do you mean? Who isn’t stupid?” Jake asked

“The Dark Dragon isn’t foolish enough to attack this place now, not with all these Overlords here…” said Dyne, and Jake looked up and realized just how powerful looking all the people up at the alter were “But we are not going to stop looking…we will find the Dark Dragon and avenge Babylon.” Dyne looked over his shoulder and Jake looked to, Sienna was crying alone on one of the balconies. “I’ll see you later Jake.” Dyne got up to go to Sienna.

“He is right Jake,” said Rose “We are not going to give up, remember what Babylon said?” Jake shook his head “He said that he had faith in us, that we could get rid of the Dark Dragon once and for all if we work together…” Jake smiled and put his arm around Rose.

After the ceremony there was a brief viewing and then Babylon was laid to rest. The strongest and first Overlord there ever was returned to his wife in the heavens and for now there was peace. But peace is always short lived…



The End…
To Be Continued…
