Jake Long III (Season One)

Disclaimer: I don't own American Dragon. I do however, own characters like Jake III, Rosie, Holly, Melissa, etc. I also own the storylines.

A/N: So, here it is: the next series. I can't remember if I've mentioned this, so I will now. This is the two season long series, fifteen episodes per season. Also, this takes place about three months after "Death Heart", starting on the very first day of September. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter/Episode One: Pilot

On the Island of Draco, Melissa smiled as she revealed her chosen weapon, a Push Dagger, to Sillian. "You're kidding?" Sillian had an astonished smile on his face. "That little thing is going to be yours?"

"I like it." Melissa replied. "It suits me."

"I don't think I'll be able to spar with you." Sillian said, crossing his arms. "Your little knife won't be any match for my blade."

"That's why you won't be using your sword." Melissa said.

"Then what am I supposed to fight you with, Melissa?!" Sillian was stumped. "A twig?!"

"Your claws." Melissa replied.

LINE BREAK

Meanwhile, down in the crypt for all of the deceased dragons, Jake III sat on his knees, staring down at two graves. The first one was his grandmother's. The second, right next to Rose's grave, was the grave of Jake Long, the first American Dragon. The gravestone read: Councilor Jacob Long at the top, and then February 27th 1993-September 1st 2083 on the bottom.

"Behold." Came the familiar sound of Haley Long's voice, making Jake III slowly get up onto his feet. "The powerless Long in his natural habitat." Haley finished as Jake III finished getting up and turned around.

He could see that his great aunt had just entered from the elevator. She was in her human form and had a warm smile on her face. "Come on, Jake." She said. "You spend so much time in here."

"Well, today is the right day to." Jake III said as he started to walk over to Haley. "It's the-"

"One year anniversary of Jake's death." Haley cut her grand-nephew off as he walked up to her. "I know. And I miss him just as much as you do." She said as Jake III reached her. "I'll never forget that morning."

Jake III then got on the elevator with Haley and turned around, the two of them starting to ride back up to the upper region of the island.

LINE BREAK

"You're doing that now?" Sillian asked as he stood behind Melissa, his arms crossed. Melissa was sitting on her knees, injecting her medicine into her arm, her Push Dagger on the grass right next to her. "Why didn't you do that earlier?"

"Because I didn't." Melissa replied as she took the needle out of her arm. After she had placed the syringe back into its place on her belt, Melissa looked up to see Jake III and Haley walking up to Rosie, who was in her Munsell Red-colored dragon form.

"Sillian, who's that?" Melissa asked as she got to her feet, Sillian stepping up to her side.

"Who?" Sillian asked as Melissa watched Jake III, Haley and Rosie all interact.

"The guy with the American Dragon and the former American Dragon."

"Oh, that's Jake." Sillian said. "He's the grandson of the first American Dragon and the older brother of the current American Dragon. Why?"

Instead of answering Sillian, Melissa just narrowed her eyes. "Hmm..." She said to herself as she continued to watch Jake III. "...He's related to the American Dragon and older, you say?"

BLACKOUT; PLAY THEME SONG

BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW

Jake Jr. was waiting outside the home that he and his family lived in, smiling as he watched Rosie fly down with her older brother on her back. Once Rosie's feet touched the ground, Jake III hopped off, allowing Rosie to revert to her human form.

"Son." Jake Jr. said. "I've got something to show you."

"What, Dad?" Jake III asked.

"You'll find out once you get inside." Jake Jr. said. "Rosie, your friend Noelia is here."

"Great!" Rosie exclaimed before she bolted into the house, running around her father. Smiling, Jake Jr. walked down the steps, reaching his son.

"I can tell that you're happy." Jake III said.

"Of course I'm happy!"

"This must be good news, then."

"Read it and cheer." Jake Jr. said as he held out a letter. "You're going to be very happy, son." He added as Jake III took the letter. "Oh, and I'm sorry that I read your mail."

"Yeah." Jake III rolled his eyes before he looked down and started to read the letter.

LINE BREAK

Meanwhile, Rosie pushed open the door to her bedroom and saw Noelia sitting at the foot of her bed. Noelia was the same age as Rosie and wore a pair of blue jeans and a Han Blue-colored T-shirt. She had rather short brown hair and wore, unlike Rosie and Jake III a wrist cuff. Hearing Rosie enter, she turned her head to the side.

"What're you doing here?" Rosie asked.

"Close your door." Noelia said. "I've got something I need to tell you."

"You didn't tell my Mom or Dad anything?"

"No, this is strictly between you and me." Noelia said. "Please just close the door."

"Fine." Rosie said before she turned around and closed the door. After closing it, she turned back around, seeing that Noelia had gotten up off of the bed and was walking towards her.

"I think you're really going to like this." Noelia said as she reached Rosie.

"What?" Rosie asked.

"You know how you were talking about how much you hate that birthmark?" Noelia asked. "You've been talking about it for years."

"Yeah..."

"And you said that you wanted to get rid of it."

"What?" Rosie asked. "Do you have a solution?"

"You bet I do!" Noelia smiled.

"Tell me!" Rosie smiled excitedly.

"At Magus Bazaar..." Noelia said, crossing her arms. "...There's a small shop that sells potions. There's one that will magically remove your birthmark."

"That's great!" Rosie hopped up and back down from excitement. "Let's go right now."

"There's one problem, though." Noelia said.

"What's that?" Rosie's excitement quickly died away.

"You have to be eighteen and have ID." Noelia said.

"Well, there goes that plan." Rosie rolled her eyes, putting her hands on her hips. "Thanks for wasting my time, Noelia."

"Wait." Noelia held her hands up. "I came up with an idea with the others. Meet us at Magus Bazaar tomorrow morning."

"What are you planning?"

"Don't worry." Noelia said as she took a step back. "This is going to work out."

LINE BREAK

Back outside, Jake III looked up from the letter, staring up at his smiling father, while Noelia exited from the front door and made her way down the steps, walking passed Jake Jr.

"Wow..." Was all Jake III could see.

"Are you happy?" Jake Jr. asked.

"They said that I passed the physical exams and I'm mentally sound enough to join the police force." Jake III said, even though he knew that his father was already aware of this. "Now all I need to do is pass the written test and I'll be accepted into the police academy."

LINE BREAK

The next morning, Jake III arrived at the local library. Walking inside, he found several tables in front of several bookshelves, all filled with hundreds of books. However, as Jake III walked further into the library, he was unaware of a young woman, a few years older than him, walking into the library. The woman wore a red T-shirt with green lines and circles all over the shirt, as well as a pair of jeans and a wrist cuff around her wrist and had long black hair.

LINE BREAK

At that same time, Noelia was standing around Magus Bazaar with three other girls, two at Noelia's right and one at her left. The girl on Noelia's left had on a pair of Turquoise Green-colored sweatpants and a white blouse and had short black hair with a streak of Turquoise Green going down the center. The first girl at Noelia's right wore a Cadmium Yellow-colored sweatshirt and jeans and had long, curly red hair. The second girl had long black hair and wore a Bubble Gum-colored long-sleeved button-up T-shirt with red, blue and black dots on the left arm sleeve of the shirt, along with a pair of jeans and a necklace with the Star of David on it. All three of Noelia's companions also wore steel wrist cuffs around one of their wrists.

"Where is she?" The girl on Noelia's left asked.

"She's coming." Noelia assured her.

"Then shouldn't Rosie be here by now?" The first girl on Noelia's right asked.

"Alright, look." Noelia said as she turned around to face her friends. "When I told Rosie that she needed to be eighteen to get this potion, she didn't take it well."

"So, she's not coming?" The girl with the Cadmium Yellow sweater asked.

"No, she is." Noelia said. "I told her that we had a plan and we wouldn't let her down. She'll be here."

"Call her on her iLife." The girl with the Turquoise Green sweatpants suggested.

"I can't, Patience." Noelia told her. "Rosie's parents didn't want her or her brother to have one. We're just going to have to-"

"Hey, guys." Came the sound of Rosie's voice from behind Noelia.

"You made it!" Noelia seemed happy as she spun back around.

"Yeah." Rosie replied, putting her hands on her hips. "Hey, Patience." She addressed her friend, then moved on to the two other girls. "Lucero." She addressed the girl with the Cadmium Yellow sweatshirt. "Essence." She said to the girl with the Bubble Gum-colored shirt.

"Hey." Lucero returned, Essence returning with her own "Hey" just seconds after.

"Alright." Rosie said, crossing her arms. "I want to hear your plan, Noelia."

"I think you're going to like it, Rosie." Noelia said with a smile on her face as she held up her iLife. "It's full-proof." Then, Noelia pressed a button on the iLife, causing a card to slide out of the cuff like a disk being popped out of a computer's hard-drive. "Take it."

Listening to her friend, Rosie took the card out and stared at it, only to gasp when she realized that it was a fake ID.

LINE BREAK

Back at the library, Jake III sat down at a lone table with three rather large books. Setting them down in one pile, Jake III took the first book away from the others and sat it down. Opening it to the first page, he began to skim through the first page.

However, just after Jake III turned the page, there came a loud beeping noise from the front of the library.

Taking his finger off of the page, Jake III looked up to see that the red shirted woman who had entered right after him walking passed the security sensors, one book under her arm. Ignoring the alarm, the woman kept going, only to stop when an emergency door slid shut, locking the woman inside.

Growling with frustration, the woman turned around to see the librarian walk up to her. "You do know that you have to check the book out, don't you?" The librarian asked. "You can't just take books and go."

Growling and narrowing her eyes, the woman allowed herself to be engulfed by a bright light, transforming into a red dragon with green circles and lines all over her body. "HIYAH!" She shouted as she spun around and slammed her tail into the emergency door, shattering it to pieces. The librarian gasped in shock as the dragon flapped her wings and flew out, turning around the corner and disappearing from sight.

"No..." Jake III said softly to himself as he slowly rose from his seat. Narrowing his eyes, he quickly decided what to do.

Grunting, Jake III jumped up and over the table, running passed the librarian and out of the library, and like a complete idiot, turned to give chase to the dragon.

BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL BREAK

BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW

"There it is." Noelia said as she led Rosie up to the stand, where a female Magic Mint-colored dragon with fairly long black hair. The dragon looked to be about twenty years of age and did not look friendly.

"Um, are you sure about this?" Rosie asked nervously. "What if she doesn't buy it?"

"She will." Noelia said as she put a hand on Rosie's back, ushering her one step forward. "She really has no choice. Now here." Noelia then reached into her pocket and pulled out a strip of paper, handing it over to Rosie, who took it. "This is what the potion is called. Just give her the paper and your money."

"If you say so." Rosie replied.

"Hey, don't you want this birthmark of yours gone?" Noelia asked, turning her head to the side.

"You have no idea." Rosie turned her head to the side as well, the two friends now staring at each other.

"Actually, I do." Noelia replied. "All of us do."

Sighing, Rosie turned her head back to normal and started to walk up to the stand. As soon as she reached it, Rosie placed the piece of paper down on the wooden surface of the stand. "I'd like to purchase this potion." She stated.

"You look a little young, kid." The Magic Mint-colored dragon growled. "Either you're too stupid to know that you need to be eighteen, or you're just a punk."

"Actually..." Rosie said as she placed the fake ID on the stand. "...I am eighteen. Here's the proof. Now, let me get the money." As she said this, Rosie reached into her pocket to get her money, while the Magic Mint-colored dragon reached down and took the ID off of the stand and inspected it. Immediately, she narrowed her eyes.

"This is fake." She declared.

"What?" Rosie asked, her eyes widening, freezing right before she was about to place her money on the stand.

"Do you really think that I can't tell the difference between a real ID and a fake one?" The Magic Mint-colored dragon sneered.

"I-"

However, before Rosie could say anything else, she gasped as the Magic Mint-colored dragon grabbed her up by her collar, lifting her up into the air. "After I clobber you..." The Magic Mint-colored dragon raged. "...I'm going to call the Dragon Council on your-"

"That won't be necessary." The sound of Councilor Asil's voice cut the dragon off, making the Magic Mint-colored dragon drop Rosie to the ground, her eyes wide.

"I...I..." The Magic Mint-colored dragon stammered, staring at Asil and Yara, who were in their Papaya Whip and Mulberry-colored dragon forms, respectively.

"This girl may have done something illegal..." Councilor Yara cut the Magic Mint-colored dragon off. "...But she is only a young girl."

"We will deal with her properly." Asil said.

"But assault is not the solution." Yara finished. "Both of you will be coming with us for a little flight for a visit to Councilor Jennings."

LINE BREAK

Jake III ran as fast as he could, trying to keep up with the dragon that was ahead of him, still in sight. However, the dragon quickly flew around a corner.

Growling, Jake III pushed himself harder and quickly turned around the corner, jumping up and launching himself up in the air and at the dragon, managing to grab her tail. The dragon's eyes widened and she gasped as she was pulled to the ground, landing on her belly.

Grunting again, the dragon slowly got up to her feet and turned around, seeing Jake III walking backwards. Narrowing her eyes, the dragon lashed out with her tail, but Jake III managed to jump back, avoiding her tail.

"What are you trying to do?!" The dragon demanded as she pulled her tail back.

"Trying to stop you!"

"Why?" The dragon replied before she took a step forward and lashing out with her tail again. Once again, Jake III managed to jump back and avoid the tail attack. "I'm not going to keep it!" The dragon shouted.

"You're stealing!" Jake III declared as he started to run at the dragon.

However, the dragon just growled in annoyance as she once again lashed out with her tail. The attack hit Jake III in the stomach and he grunted as he was thrown off of his feet, flipping backwards as he flew back.

Finally, Jake III grunted as he landed on his back, the dragon, with the book still under her arm, turning and taking off into the air with a flap of her wings.

LINE BREAK

On the Island of Draco, the doors to the Main Hall were pushed open and Councilor Asil, still in his dragon form, walked inside along with the also still dragon-formed Councilor Yara. Yara was clutching the shoulders of the now human-formed Rosie and Asil was clutching the shoulders of the now human-formed Magic Mint-colored dragon. In her dragon form, the young woman wore a Magic Mint-colored T-shirt and wore a pair of jeans, and was of Chinese descent.

"What's going on?" Holly asked as she slowly stood up from the large table, clutching her walking stick.

"Young Dragon Long tried to use a fake ID." Councilor Asil said as he and Yara stopped in front of the table. "Then, this dragon threatened to assault her."

"I see." Holly said as she sat back down.

"We will let Long's parents deal with her." Yara said.

"And what about me?" The human-formed Magic Mint dragon narrowed her eyes.

"Tell me your name." Holly ordered.

"Why should I?"

"If you do not wish to cooperate..." Holly shrugged her shoulders. "...Then I guess I could just have you thrown into the jail."

"You wouldn't..." The woman growled, narrowing her eyes.

"I assure you, I would." Holly smiled.

"Why?" The woman asked. "You have nothing on me! I didn't harm the little brat! I was only going to-"

"Exactly." Holly said. "That's why I don't feel that you deserve such a harsh punishment for your actions.

"What actions?!"

"She may have been wrong..." Holly told the woman. "...But you had no right to attempt to attack her. You have a bad temper, I can see that."

"Maybe that's because you're acting like I've done something wrong!"

"Perhaps if you'd just calm down..." Councilor Asil said as he tightened his grip on the woman's shoulders. "...And listen to Councilor Jennings, you would realize that we don't like that you threatened the American Dragon."

"Please just tell me your name." Holly repeated. "If you don't, I will be forced to take a more serious action against you."

"Lin-Lin." The woman replied with a growl, giving in.

"Can I get your last name as well?" Holly asked.

"Clark." Lin-Lin said. "Now that you've gotten what you wanted, can I go now?"

"No, you still must take responsibility for your actions, Dragon Clark." Holly said. "You need to understand that it is the Council's job to protect magical creatures and keep an eye on the Magical World. You must learn from your mistake. To learn, you must be punished."

"I thought you said I didn't do anything severe enough to have to go to jail."

"Who said anything about jail?" Holly asked, then smiled. "I think some community service is just what you need."

"Community service?" Lin-Lin looked disgusted.

"How does one year serving the Dragon Council sound to you?" Holly asked.

"It sounds like a wonderful idea, Councilor Jennings." Asil said before Lin-Lin could even finish opening her mouth to protest.

"Then it's settled." Holly smiled.

LINE BREAK

Jake III slowly opened the door and walked inside, his father coming down the stairs just as Jake III turned around to close the door. Then, he turned back around to face his father.

"Wow, you look quite beat up, son." Jake Jr. said, noting the bruises on his son's face.

"Yeah..." Jake III replied.

"What...What happened?" Jake Jr. tried to sound casual, seeing as his son didn't seem to be seriously harmed.

"While I was at the library studying..." Jake III explained, slowly crossing his arms. "...A dragon tried to steal a book. I decided to give chase."

"It looks like you and the dragon faced off." Jake Jr. noted.

"We did." Jake III couldn't help but smile. "The dragon handed my butt to me."

"You seem...rather happy about that, son."

"Dad, it hurt..." Jake III told his father. "...But it was also exhilarating. That's...That's the stuff that only Rosie is going to be able to encounter."

"It's not all that amazing, Jake." Jake Jr. promised his son. "Besides, you'll see plenty of action as long as you keep on the path that you're going now. If you become an officer of the law, you will see plenty of action. Heck, you might even see some magical action."

Jake III stared at his father as Jake Jr. said this, but he looked like he was staring into space. "Jake?" Jake Jr. asked. "Jake, are you okay?"

"Dad, do you think the Dragon Council would mind if I served them?" Jake III blurted out.

"Wha...Why?" Jake Jr. asked, bewildered. "Jake, you have something good ahead of you. You don't need the Magical World to give you that adrenaline rush. Police situations in the normal world will provide you with enough of those."

When Jake III said nothing in response, Jake Jr.'s eyes widened. "Don't tell me that you're having second thoughts."

"Can't I?" Was Jake III's response.

"Of course you can."

"Then why do you seem so disappointed, Dad?"

"I'm not." Jake Jr. answered. "In the end, it's your decision. But, you've put so much hard work into trying to get into the police academy. Are you really going to just drop it, son?"

"Well, I-"

However, before Jake III could continue, his father cut him off: "And besides, you're not a dragon, Jake. You have to be a dragon to be a Dragon Council Agent."

"Not true, Dad." Jake III smiled. "Aunt Haley told me that, at one point, her two friends joined the Dragon Council Agents. They never made it out of the training level, though."

"And maybe that's because they realized that it was no place for normal humans." Jake Jr. said.

"Dad!"

"What? I'm just speaking my mind."

"The point is that the Council won't discriminate against me just because I'm human."

"They better not." Jake Jr. replied. "Your sister is the American Dragon."

"Dad, that's not the point."

At that moment, a loud groan came from the top of the stairs, making Jake Jr. turn around, seeing his wife start to walk down the stairs. "Guess what, Jake?" She said, sounding very angry.

"What?" Jake Jr. asked.

"Your daughter is on the Island of Draco." His wife said as she reached the bottom of the stairs. "I just got a message from Holly Jennings."

"She isn't hurt, is she?" Jake Jr. asked.

"She's going to be." Jake Jr.'s wife growled as she crossed her arms. "Jake, she's in trouble. Do you want to know what Councilor Yara and Councilor Asil caught her doing?"

"I'm afraid to, but I have no choice."

"She got caught trying to use a fake ID."

"Are you going to go to the Island of Draco?" Jake III asked.

"I don't know, son." Jake Jr. replied. "Are we?"

"That's what the Council wants." Jake Jr.'s wife said. "So, yes we are."

"Can I come?" Jake III asked.

"Why does he want to come with?" Jake Jr.'s wife whispered.

"Don't ask." Jake Jr. mumbled.

LINE BREAK

On the Island of Draco, Rosie stood next to Holly, both in their human forms. Rosie's head was lowered, but when she heard her father shout: "Rosaline Long!" She snapped her head up to see her father, mother and brother all walking toward her and Holly.

"I'm actually surprised to see all three of you." Holly said as Jake Jr., his wife and Jake III all reached them. "I didn't think all three of you would be coming." Holly continued. "To be perfectly honest, I thought that only one of you would be coming to get her."

"Is she in danger of going to prison?" Jake Jr. asked, angry as hell. "Do we need to pay bail or something like that?"

"Goodness no." Holly smiled. "We've decided to let her off with a strict warning this time."

"Dad..." Rosie tried.

"Get into your dragon form and shut up." Jake Jr. said sternly. "I don't want to hear a peep out of you until we get home. You're grounded for a week."

Closing her eyes, Rosie did as her father ordered and transformed into her dragon form in a bright light.

"Councilor Jennings, do you think I could talk to you?" Jake III quickly took his chance.

"About what?" Holly asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Can we take it to the Main Hall?" Jake III asked. "I'll tell you there."

LINE BREAK

Inside the Main Hall, Jake III stood before a seated Holly. "What did you want to talk about?" Holly asked with a small smile.

"I was at the library today." Jake III started to explain. "Since I'm not a dragon, I was going to join the police force."

"Interesting career choice." Holly said.

"Well, I guess it's just in my blood." Jake III said.

"What is in your blood?" Holly asked.

"The need for magic." Jake III replied, smiling in embarrassment at out his word choice. "I guess that because I'm a Long, the need for an adventure is just in my blood. That's what I'm trying to say. Both of my grandparents were magical heroes and-"

"I get it." Holly smiled. "I don't blame you, either."

"But something...changed." Jake III took a step forward. "I encountered a dragon, who was stealing a book from the library. I tried to fight her."

"Not a very good idea." Holly said.

"I know." Jake III replied. "But while I was going after her, I found that need that I had."

"You are indeed a Long." Holly said softly.

"I was thinking about what my Great Aunt Haley had told me." Jake III continued. "She told me that her two friends were Dragon Council Agents when they were younger, even though they were regular humans."

"Oh, yes." Holly said with a smile on her face. "Yes, I remember. They were Agents-In-Training. From what I remember, they never became full-time Dragon Council Agents."

"Do you know why?" Jake III asked.

"Personal reasons." Holly shrugged her shoulders. "That's my guess. Jake, are you asking me if you could work for the Dragon Council?"

"That's exactly what I'm trying to ask." Jake III said with a smile. "It is possible, right?"

"It has been a very long time since we have had regular humans serve us." Holly said.

"Should that matter?" Jake III asked. "Councilor, this is something I really want to do. My Dad advised me to just stick with the police academy, but I'm certain that I'm going to like this better. Can you please give me a chance?"

"Well, Jake." Holly said. "You aren't really just some normal, average human. You do have magical blood in you. You just lack the powers." Holly then smiled. "If it were up to just me, I would without a doubt let you serve the Council. However..." Her smile faded. "...I will have to consult with the rest of the Council."

"I understand, Councilor." Jake III replied, closing his eyes as he addressed her.

LINE BREAK

Meanwhile, the red dragon with the green lines and circles all over her body swooped down, the book still in her possession, and landed right in front of a decent sized home. Opening the door, the dragon walked inside, where she found a woman that looked just like her, only with a black and blue-colored tank-top and a pair of jean shorts instead of what the dragon wore. The second woman was the dragon's twin sister and she had her arms crossed, an iLife around one of her wrists.

"I got the book, Desideria." The dragon said as she held the book out.

"You were gone longer than I thought you would be." Desideria said as she took a step forward.

"Well, when I tried to leave..." The dragon explained. "...I got caught by some kid. He chased me down."

"You drew the attention of a kid?" Desideria asked, her eyes narrowing. "How?"

"Well, they wouldn't let me leave the library."

"Why not?" Desideria growled.

"I think some woman said something about not checking the book out."

"You imbecile!" Desideria shouted as she snatched the book out of her dragon-formed sister's claws.

Sighing, Desideria turned around and walked over to a table in the back of the room. Setting the book down, Desideria grinned as she stared down at the title of the book: Dragon Chi.

Quickly, Desideria sat down and opened the book. "Desideria?" The dragon asked.

"Yes, Nephele?" Desideria replied as she started to flip through the book.

"Why did you send me to the library anyway?" Nephele, the dragon, asked. "Not many people go there. Why didn't you just use your iLife to find the information?"

"Because I already did." Desideria said as she continued to search through the book. "I agree. Libraries are becoming more and more scarce. However, I couldn't find the information."

"You couldn't?"

"Believe me." Desideria said. "I was as shocked as you are now when I found nothing on the subject."

Then, Desideria turned another page and immediately, her face lit up.

"Aw..." She said, having found what she had needed.

The page Desideria had opened up to was the start of a new chapter. The chapter's title was Transferring Dragon Chi.
