AC: First of all, this story is a different one from the series. The characters are the same but there will be difference like Jake isn't a dragon in this story: Not name magical creatures but they will be called mythological creatures. The hunts clan will still have their names. Some episode of the TV series will be use but I'll try to be original. I hope you like it because here's goes. Some OC will be adds like one of the principal character of the story.

Also I'm not an English expert so I don't know the true name of what they wear. Just give me the name and I'll do the change.

American Dragon: Genesis of the black dragons.

Episode one: Jake and the dragon.

New York: The summit of a giant clock tower

"Gramps, why are you taking me here? There's nothing interesting to look, also it's only the beginning of summer and you have to bring the boring stuff now!" Says a 13 young boys complaining about this little walk.

"Do not question your grand-father Jake!" Says his gramps. He was smaller than Jake himself. He still as his hair (With seems to calm Jake fear about being bald.) and wears a purple tunic.

Jake mourns but says nothing else. He was 13 years old. He puts lot of gel on his hairs. He wears a red shirts and blue jean shorts. A part of his face was showing his Chinese heritage from his mother.

"Now I can answer it." Says his gramps. "I have called you here to talk about the duty of the Long family. You are now old enough to begin the preparation for it."

"Duty…What duty?" Asks Jake.

"The duty of a Dragonknight." Answers his gramps.

"Dragonknight?" Says Jake thinking his grand-father was crazy or thinking he was a fool.

"Yes. A Dragonknight are warrior who has sworn to protect a creature hunts for their value they have and for the fear they represent. Our family has the honor to protect them and live by a partnership with them when performing our duty."

"Who the heck are you talking about?" Asks Jake, now sure his gramps was playing with him.

"The-" but he was interrupted by a.

"Yo there Dragonknight I'm your partner Abel." Says a voice. It came from over Jake and he looks up. He saw a big muscular dragon. He was 3 meters tall with big wings and a long tail. His scales are dark like the night except for his belly and his hair which are purple. His big and sharp purple claws show he was dangerous and his big and white crow fang shows he can kill you easily if he wants. Because of that Jake didn't see his blue eyes like the pure sky. After 10 seconds of silence, Jake shouts in terror and lose consciousness.

"…" The 2 others witness were silent.

"So…I guess I was too soon." Says the big dragon nervously about his behavior.

"…I HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN EXPLAINING ANYTHING ABOUT YOU AND YOU JUST APPEAR LIKE THAT OUT OF NOWHERE. OF COURSE IT'S TOO SOON!" Shout gramps with an angry voice.

"I'm sorry I was just too excited to meet him. I'm just tired of being secluded to the dragon island. With this, I have a chance to explore the world."

"I know but…when he wakes up…let me talk to him and…try to appear more…vulnerable and not like a predator." Says gramps.

"Alright Lao Shi." Says Abel.

5 minutes has passed before Jake regains consciousness. He mourns a little. He looks around and he sees only his grand-father.

"Gramps. I just have a crazy dre-" But his grand-father interrupted him.

"It was not a dream."

"What!" Says Jake. He was afraid of this dragon.

"Do not be afraid. Let me explain a little before I GIVE HIM THE SIGN TO SHOW UP!" He shouts. "Alright, you are a future Dragonknight. Your duty, like me, is to protect the dragons from the huntsclan and from any other dangers they can encounter. The hunts clan are divided in multiple clans with different objective for each of them but still conduct to the dragons dead. Some are chasing them for sports, other because they are greedy and some because they want to eliminate the dragon from the surface of the planet.

As for the Dragon, They are powerful fighter with multiple abilities depending of their family heritage. They are very wisdom and intelligent creatures…EXCEPT THIS ONE, and are unjustified kill by the huntsclan. The dragon needs our help for protection and they also help us in our human's problems in return."

"I don't really believe they need protections." Comments Jake.

"But they need it. They are hidden from the human society and don't want to be see around the world. They just want to live in peace but…some humans found about them and kill them. Others who found out decide to help them, like us; Dragonknight, by acting were they cannot. When a dragon lives in a city, they need a Dragonknight partner who acts as his escort, guide and guardian when danger appears. A dragon must never be alone in a city. This is the reason of our existence."

"I see. So I witness a big secret…and I lost consciousness in front of him. AWWW MAN." Complain Jake.

"Do not worry; it was HIS FAULT that happens." Then his gramps asks: "Are you ready?"

"Yes." Says Jake.

You can come now." Order Lao Shi.

The dragon appears in front of them. He tries to appear vulnerable but it fails. So he decides to be himself.

"Hi…hum…sorry for later. I didn't mean to be so…scary." Says nervously Abel.

"…" Jake was silent and studies him furthermore. He sees more than his dangerous appearance. His blue eyes show kindness and innocence. He doesn't seem to be an adult, more like a teenager like him. His posture shows confidence and show he's nervous. His mouth shows, with his fangs, a small and gentle smile. "It's alright man." Abel relaxes.

"So…what do we do now?" Asks Abel.

"Let's go to my shop." Says Lao Shi.

"We're gonna walk again!" Complain Jake.

"Maybe…You wanna flight?" Ask Abel with a small smile.

"…I prefer to walk." Answer Jake.

"Alright, I guess I shall wait you there." Abel was disappointed. He then flies away.

"I guess I was a little rude." Says Jake.

"He's trying to act to fast." Says Lao Shi. "Do not worry, he's kind and generous. He won't do anything that can harm you or any humans."

"I know…It's just happening to fast." Says Jake.

"It was worse for me…the dragon I was guarding was rude and aggressive. He's the opposite of him."

"I'm lucky I guess." Says Jake.

"You know…You are now force to accept being a partner with a dragon. If you accept, you will become a Dragonknight. Your mother refuses it but she still learns how to fight like one of us in case we are in danger." Adds Lao Shi.

"I…need some time to think about this." Says Jake.

"I know." Says his gramps.

Lao Shi Electronic shop

The 2 enters the electronic shop and they saw the dragon was waiting for them.

"Your finally here! You took one hour to come back." He says with a smile.

"We were walking." Says Lao Shi.

"Sorry." Says the dragon.

"Did anyone see you?" Ask the gramps.

"No I make sure of it." Answer the dragon.

"Good." Says Lao Shi. "I still need to present someone Jake. You know him but…not the real him. FU DOG!"

The dog appears in front of them. Fu Dog saw the dragon and Jake.

"Hello there." Says Fu Dog with a smile.

"The dog can talk?" Asks Abel.

"You took my word out of my mouth." Says Jake.

"Wait! You're a dragon and you don't know about a talking dog!" Shout Fu Dog.

"I was secluded in the Dragon Island so I don't know much about the external world." Answer Abel.

"About your question…All dogs can talk…We're just…not stupid enough to talk to a human." Says Fu Dog.

The 3 others look at him with a smile meaning…You have talk to human.

"I think I'm gonna return home for now." Says Jake. "Just took too much for one day."

"Alright." Answer Lao Shi.

"See you tomorrow." Says the dark dragon.

The next day:

Jake takes all this time to process what he learns. It was still too much in one day. He returns to the shop of his grand-father and watch this. It's empty as ever.

"Jake, your back." Says Lao Shi.

"Where are the others?" Asks Jake.

"Fu Dog is to the dog club where they all meet. As for Abel, He's up there if you want to talk to him." Says his Grand-father.

"I think I'll do that."

Jake climbs the stairs to the second floor. He sees Abel was reading a book. He then closes the book and looks at Jake.

"Hi." He says happily.

"Hello." Says Jake nervously.

"Why did you come here?" He asks.

"I wonder…no…I want to know a little more about you." Asks Jake.

"Alright. I've live most of my life at the Dragon Island. I learn how to fly, breath fire, etc. about dragon stuff. I'm an intellectual who likes to read a lot of books, I'm strong, I…I can get overexcited, I'm a very curious dragon by nature."

"That a little, shorts." Says Jack.

"I know."

"What about your parents?" Asks Jake.

"My parents…I don't know them…I lost them soon after I was born. My mother is dead and my father…I don't know what happen to him…The rest of the dragons too, so I was raise by uncle Garret. I don't speak to anyone…I don't know why but my appearance seems to scare them." Says sadly Abel. "What about your family?"

"My mom is a very nice person, my father is…special and my little sister is…annoying." Says Jake.

"…I see." Abel thought he was very quick in his resume. "Is that all?"

"Yeah, I think I'm going now. I need some time to think and process all of this."

"Alright and…I'm sorry for being forceful. I guess I want too much from you."

"It's alright. Bye." Jake walks away. He then go to the park rejoin his friends.

2 weeks later

Jake has finish thinking about all of this change. He took his decision about his future. He is excited about this.

"Jake. Have you finally decided what you will do?" Ask his grand-father. Abel and Fu-Dog was watching what Jake will chose.

"I decide it's worth the try. I'll become a Dragonknight and I'll be the partner of Abel."

"For Real." Says Abel. Jake nod positively.

"Thank you!" Says Abel. He then hugs Jake. He let him go faster, a little embarrassed by his sudden reaction. "Sorry."

"Then let's proceed." Says gramps. "Jake by accepting this duty, you must begin your training as a Dragonknight, also…a part of your time will go to the training and you'll see less time your friends."

"What!"

"As for you Abel, when your dragon master will be here, your training will also begin." Completes Jake gramps.

"Is that all?" Asks Jake.

"No. Abel must now smell you." Says Fu Dog.

"WHAT?" Shout Jake.

"They're a little like dogs." Says Fu Dog. He then whines a little when he ears Abel grunts. "They have a very powerful and sensible nose. They can recognise a smell for kilometers when they take time to print it in their memories."

"Shall it take long?" Asks Jake to Abel.

"Not really, maximum one minute." Answer Abel.

"Just before…Why must he smell me?" Asks Jake.

"If he needs your help, he must know where to find you at any time. It's is dangerous to live in this city." Answer his gramps. "But also if you need him, he can find you anytime."

"How can he know I need him?" Asks Jake.

"With your cellphone of course." Answer Fu Dog.

"Alright, you can begin now." Says Jake.

Abel proceeds cautiously. He tries not to embarrass Jake by doing this. He smells Jake from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. Jake can smell his body when Abel head was in front of him. He smell like ashes or something close to that but also a small odor of a flower…he can't put a name on it but he knew it was a flower.

"I'm finish." Says Abel. "You smell good…except for the feet part."

"*Sigh.*" Jake just sigh.

"Jake you can return home. Training starts tomorrow."

"AWWW MAN!" Says Jake now realising he lost a big part of his freedom.

"STOP COMPLAINING!" Shout his gramps.

"Good-bye." Says Abel when Jake gets out of the shop.

"I don't think the training will be easy." Comment Abel.

"It was for me." Countered Lao Shi.

"You were just more obedient that's all." Says Fu Dog.

"It's time for a small training for you Abel." Says Lao Shi, Ignoring Fu Dog comment.

"What is it?" Asks Abel.

"You must learn to shapeshifting into your human form." Says LS (Stands for Lao Shi.)

"But you know, if I succeed, I can only maintain it for 2 hours." Says Abel.

"Do not worry; I have a solution for this matter. Fu Dog will create a potion that will amplify the time limit of a shapeshifting for 24 hours."

"That will be cool…but why will I need it." Ask Abel.

"Do you honestly think I will let you live forever in this shop, too much trouble." Says LS.

"…No one ever come to this shop."

"Shut up…Anyway let's begin now." Says LS.

"Alright what do I need to do?" Asks Abel.

"Close your eyes. Look inside yourself, find the energy that sleeps within you and use it. You must take this energy and spread it in all of your body." Answers LS.

"All right." Abel did what he asks. He close his eyes and imagine himself has a human. Then, he tries to find his energy flowing in his flesh. When he found it, he spread it all-over his body and…nothing happen. "…Nothing…Really?" Says Abel.

"Do not worry, I feel the energy, but you must keep trying…that means you must train yourself each day until you succeed it…It can took…a month or 2."

"AWWW Man." Complain Abel.

"DO NOT BEGIN TO COMPLAIN LIKE MY GRAND-SON!" Shout LS.

"Alright." Then Abel sighs. This is going to be a long summer for Jake and Abel.

AC: The end of the first episode. I hope you like it even if I made major change in comparison of the TV series. I have a plot that will develop soon enough.

Review will be really appreciated.
