Jake had managed to get out of the rocky desert and finally found civilization. He had noticed a gas station and flew down to it. He landed behind it and transformed back
into a human. He walked inside and grabbed some water, he needed it. The cashier noticed his tiredness and said: "You look pretty tired, have the drink." Jake's voice cracked when he tried
to utter the words thank you. He gulped down the water and he threw it away. He walked out of the station and flew his way to the Island of Draco. Once there, the dragons saw that he was
alive and well. Lao Shi and Fu Dog were there, too. Lao ran towards Jake and hugged him. "Where have you been, your parents were worried sick!" Lao asked. "I'll tell you about it later,
but first, the Dark Dragon is coming and he has Jason!" Once the dragons heard this, they went into a defensive formation. Jake also asked for some dragons to find the whereabouts of Jason.
Fred Nerk was the first to walk towards Jake. Lao and Fu also wanted to come, but Jake said he should do it with only one dragon so that they didn't get hurt. "Goodbye." Said Jake, right
before they flew off in search of Jason. On the way, Fred asked Jake some questions.
"So, Jason, where do you think he is?"
"With the Dark Dragon."
"How did you escape?"
"Jason gave me a potion of location. I teleported to the back of the thin mountain that Ian was in."
Ian, that name was the name of Nerks brother, the one where he just disappeared one day. Nerk thought- "Forget it, that's obviously not him."
Once they made it to the rocky desert, the saw the thin mountain that Jake had described. They flew towards the mountain and got to the opposite sides of the opening where a door should've
been if the Dark Dragon had installed doors. "Go on three." Jake whispered to Fred.
One...
Two...
Three!
Jake and Fred turned and prepared to shoot fire from their mouths, but nobody was home! "Is anyone there?" Fred asked. "Let's split up to see if we can find him." Said Fred.
Fred went to the left while Jake went to the right. Fred saw a very alluring painting of the Dark Dragon in the hall. "This is... weird." Fred said to himself. He saw a little golden label that had the name, Ian.
Just as Fred was about to realize, Jake stopped him and said- "Jason's not here, I can smell him from a mile radius. The Dark Dragon's not here either." Again he thought, "My Aunt never really said how and if his brother died, she just said that he disappeared." Jake and Nerk flew away from the mountain and a couple minutes later they had noticed a huge spot of
impact and knew that Jason was there. Jake smelled the area. Sure enough, Jason had been there. Jake continued to sniff and he caught a trace of which direction Jason went. Fred followed
Jake all the way to some kind of farm. "Hey Jake, there's a house right there. I'll look in it." "Okay, I'll look in the garden." Jake went on to sniff for a smell, but he encountered a
wild odor. He looked down and saw a watermelon that only could be devoured by something powerful and vicious. "Wait a minute..."
Nerk went into the house. It was dark, but he could still somewhat see. Right when he turned a corner, Jason(still in dragon form)
knocked Nerk down to the ground and he showed his teeth while getting slobber all over Nerks face and growling quite loudly. To Nerk, it seemed that some animal was trying to kill him, so he screamed in terror.
Jason's eyes met Nerks and Jason's. Jason realized that he was about to harm someone and stopped. Jason saw the horror that was on Nerks face. Just then,
Jake slammed the door open and saw a wild Jason on top of Nerk. "You two are... Monsters?" said Jason, before he retreated into another room. "Are you okay?" said Jake as he helped Nerk up.
"Yeah, but something about his eyes just... He didn't seem like himself." Replied Nerk. Nerk walked slowly into the room where Jason was hiding. "Hello?" asked Nerk. "I-I'm so sorry..."
Said Jason. "I know you must think I'm a monster, I saw the terror in your eyes."
"No, it's okay, you didn't hurt me, but Jake told me what you did to that watermelon in the yard." Said Nerk.
"What am I? I just woke up on some kind of desert and I knew I wasn't human. Wait, who's Jake?" asked Jason. Nerk realized that Jason had lost his memory. "D-Do you know your name?" Asked
Nerk. "No... I don't know my name... but I've noticed that you're the same type of monster as me?" Jason said. "I'm Fred Nerk, the red dragon is Jake Long, and you are Jason." Explained Nerk. Jason knew that dragons were just mythical creatures, but then he looked down at his hands and figured otherwise. "I'm Jason? I have no idea who that is." Said the dragon. Fred lent a hand to Jason. "Cmon, pick yourself up." The dragon grabbed Fred's hand and got up. Immediately, he remembered something.
"A Brother's secret." He said. "What?" asked Nerk. "I-. I remember... Jake is my brother, and I'm Jason?"
"Yes, you're Jason." Replied Nerk. "No, no I'm not." Said the unnamed dragon. "I may not know my name, but it isn't Jason." Jake walked into the room and closed the door. "Jake, is it?"
Asked the dragon. "Yes. How are you holding up?" Fred Nerk took Jake outside the room to talk in private. Nerk spoke first. "He believes he isn't Jason, he thinks that he is named
something else but he knows it's not Jason." Jake looked problematic. "He remembers one thing and that's that you're his brother. Don't tell him his name, he's remembering things gradually
and if he learns that his name is Jason too early, it could make him think he is a completely different person. Or he would just know his name, but we can't risk it." Jake followed up with-
"Or you could kiss him." Proposed Jake. Nerk choked up on his own shock. "W-Why would I do that?" Exclaimed Nerk. "I've read his journal, remember that you two kissed in the forest after the Dragon Games?" said Jake. "You two love each other!" Jake said. Nerk tried to keep from turning red, which was already hard to do. "Fine!" Nerk said frustratingly. Nerk opened the door like the building was
on fire and he tried to escape. The dragon looked up from playing with his thumbs and he could only see Nerk advancing toward him. Nerk grabbed his face and kissed him. The dragons
thoughts all came back to him. The new house, his brother, his family, and his name. Once Nerk finished, he walked out of the room stopping at Jake. "I'll be outside." He muttered.
The dragon looked at Jake and said, "I'm Jason. You're Jake, and the other dragon is Fred Nerk!" Jason jumped up and said "I remember who I am! Where's Nerky?" Jason went outside while
Jake kept from chuckling. "Heya, Nerky!" Jason said excitingly. Nerk couldn't help but chuckle from that nickname, which was given to him when he misspelled his own name on a piece of paper
that Jason had given him. "I'm glad you're back." Said Nerk.
