Chereads / American Dragon Jake Long ( I am Jonathan Long ) / Chapter 20 - 20. Gremlins??? RED ALERT!!!!!

Chapter 20 - 20. Gremlins??? RED ALERT!!!!!

A few weeks have passed since the camping trip and life has regained some levels of normalcy or at least the amount that could be achieved in my household. Susan is currently catering for the wedding of celebrities Thad and Jasma. Guess marrying the same person for a few thousand times makes you want to marry that person. I mean how the hell does a TV show that only shows the same people marrying each other every episode in different locations survives let alone become a worldwide sensation.

I said," J.A.R.V.I.S have you found the members of RADWIMPS and Makoto Shinkai?" " Yes, sir. The RADWIMPS band has been successfully acquired by our subsidiary company Dragon Entertainment and Makoto Shinkai has also made a lifetime contract with us and he has already prepared the script for the movie 'The Place Promised in Our Early Days.' "

" I thought this movie was meant to be released in 2004." I asked. " No sir, the animation demands made by Makoto Shinkai in today's term is outrageous for anyone except us." Replied J.A.R.V.I.S. " How long will it take to release the movie?" I asked. " Well sir, the movie script, voice actors, the landscape arts, songs and all character animation are already on standby but Mr. Shinkai is continuously improving the script and he has requested six more additional months." Replied J.A.R.V.I.S.

" Tell him to that he will not get anymore time then the six months he requested. While our financial assets may be limitless we don't need him to know that, after all give this man enough money and he will create something so complex, so beautiful, so mesmerising that even the necrons will have their processors superheated."

I said. " Say, where's Jake?" J.A.R.V.I.S replied," Currently accompanying Lao Shi and Fu dog in order to capture something called a gremlin." I took the glass filled with water from the table and took it in my mouth and then spit the water out. " Quickly find the song they are going to play in order to capture it and in all of our facilities including Susan's convention centre

(Yes,that's the name of the convention centre. In Chinese: 苏珊会议中心 ) initiate the DUST PROTOCOL and ORCHESTRA PROTOCOL. Don't let my atoms escape." I ordered. J.A.R.V.I.S did as I said and I received a report from Gammah Null and the name of the song is the HUBBA HUBBA HULA by Elvis Kamehameha.( P.S.: This is the actual name written on the music cover shown in the series.)

3rd person Pov:

Jake was having a not so good day because he nearly had to play elevator music and he did end up derailing a subway cart blocking the entire uptown and G gave him an earful because he forgot to catch the gremlin. Little did he know that pesky bugger is now inside his bag dismantling his precious MP3 player and for some reason he went to the place where he was explicitly said not to enter and yes it's the convention centre.

Sure he means no harm but his existence itself is harmful to wedding venues and he doesn't know how is that even possible for him. He makes way towards the kitchen where the workbots are cooking and security bots are ceaselessly patrolling using their everything and then Jake is hit by frosting on his face. Jake is not surprised and he said with a face full of frosting," Aggein wiut dae frusstong, moom?( Again with the frosting,mom?)"

" Yes, now get out mister. After all you are a bad omen for weedings." Said Susan. Jake just nodded sadly. Susan sighed and said," Jake I didn't mean it that way. It's just that your dad literally invested millions ( Not millions of dollars just worthless plastic harvested from every corner of the world that weighs a few thousand tonnes and it's just a drop in the bucket.) in my business and I know he did all these because he loves me but I feel like I need to do something to prove to myself that I can do this. If you want you can stay but be careful." " Thanks mom and I know you'll rock this wedding." Said Jake while giving Susan a hug.

Susan hugs back and said," Thanks kiddo. Now scram from the kitchen." Jake just casually walks out and goes to the washroom to wash himself up and in his absent mindedness the gremlin crawled into the ventilation shaft from his bag and made it's way towards the office room where the photocopy machine is located and it accidentally landed on the photocopy machine and the machine started making photocopies of the gremlin. I'm not destroying them because Jake needs to learn to do things even if they do not match his taste such as playing the HUBBA HUBBA HULA.

Susan ordered Sven to complete decorating and Inga to set up the cake. Meanwhile the copied gremlins were wrecking havoc in the office and many had crawled into the ventilation duct and had reached the main hall where the weeding will be held in ten minutes.

Thad & Jasma Pov:

Thad Wilford Chase, Jasma Sincere and their manager were enjoying the luxurious pre marriage reception and talking about the cheap price they got by coaxing the catering lady about the publicity she will receive if she arranged their actual wedding in her convention centre.

Just the hall rent of her convention centre for a night costs 500000 dollars without the catering service which by the way is considered best in the entire USA, after all this lady is the one who decorated the entire Long Technologies expo down to the last detail and Long Technologies has built this convention centre as repayment. This is the most beautiful convention centre in the entire New York and Manhattan city.

It has one very large auditorium, two large reception rooms, two separate weeding halls, two separate dining halls capable of feeding 1000 people in one go, a rooftop venue, multiple toilets and it's fully air conditioned. They are currently in reception room number 2 and at that moment the fire alarm went off setting off the sprinklers making them wet as a otter.

They complained to Susan about poor management and demanded that Susan takes responsibility for the mess which Susan agrees reluctantly and gives them a 50% discount. They went to the wedding hall only to find it in complete shambles.

Jake Pov:

The gremlins were running amok in times square messing up the entire place but at that moment the large display times square showed live from his mother's convention centre. Jasma said," My entire weeding is in shambles and I'm sobbing wet, my dreams have been shattered and the entire venue is destroyed. It's all because of you and I'm going to make certain that no one ever uses your services in this city ever again."

Susan was literally sobbing and her employees were consoling her. Jake saw that and at that moment something burned in his heart. Jake went dragon mode and made way towards his mother's convention centre as fast as possible. Jake landed on the stage and said in the mike," Hello, New York!!! Jake Long's in the house and I have a special song for Thad and Jasma."

" Jake!! What are you doing?" Asked Susan. " Probably embarrassing myself on national TV." Replied Jake. " Don't bother kiddo I'm probably done." Said Susan dejectedly. "Never hurts to try." Replied Jake. Jake starts singing HUBBA HUBBA HULA which reminds the couple of the elevator music they heard while on their Hawaiian hospital episode. They finally made up their minds and again got together and then Jake starts rapping. At that moment police burst in along with a SWAT team.

Jonathan's Pov:

My nano swarm has devoured the insides of the gremlins and a worldwide gremlin extermination nano swarm is being released and for more information I asked the councillors of dragon council for advice and turns out gremlins are kept in magically closed bio domes but poachers like to catch them and sell them as corporate sabotage weapons which fetches a large sum of money. Yes, during the Isle of Draco incidents my operatives injected mind shackle scarabs on their brains and now they answer my every question without even knowing that I'm asking them questions.

At that moment J.A.R.V.I.S sent me a report stating the successful acquisition of Wedding Studios & Productions the agency responsible for creating the Thad and Jasma show and the show has taught some very stupid things to people and people have even attempted to apply these things in real life plus the sprinklers actually went off not because of the gremlins but rather a production crew smoking a cigar in the reception hall.

What's worse is the fact that both Thad and Jasma are serious drug and alcohol addicts plus they own illegal sweat shops run by illegal immigrants which specialises in creating counterfeit luxury goods. Also, they have connections with human traffickers of the mexican cartel and Yakuza.

I have enough proof to hang them and hang them I shall either legally or privately. I call the New York chief of police and send them the proof of drug addiction and involvement in human trafficking which prompted them to act swiftly and decisively after all I'm a multi billionaire industrialist with enough reputation and money. Susan seeing me among the police said," Honey, what's wrong?" I replied," A lot." The police officer went in front of the handcuffed Thad, Jasma and said," Thad Wilford Chase and Jasma Sincere both of you are under arrest for illegal possession and usage of illicit substances, involvement in human trafficking and spreading misinformation. You have the right to remain silent and you will be given a lawyer by the government if you can't afford one."

I said," Oh, they will need one. Because effective immediately all contracts between Thad, Jasma and Wedding Studios & Productions has been terminated and the government is seizing all of your personal assets for investigation and for reparations to the 10000 people who have filed a misinformation case and won that case. Also your manager will be fired. Effective immediately I declare Thad Wilford Chase and Jasma Sincere bankrupt, Amen. No, this is not an episode but all these are happening in reality."

Both Thad and Jasma faints but the police drags them away. I came to Susan and said," Honey, I'm sorry to let such despicable people near you and near your employees. I swear that people like these will never come near your business ever again. Also, you don't need to worry about the money because guess what? As reparation for causing mental trauma to you and your employees all of you get 10 million dollars each which will be wired to your bank account tomorrow."

" Jakearoo, I'm so proud of you because you put your prejudice behind for your mother's sake and let's enjoy the party." I said and I snapped my fingers and the cameramen left after all I'm their boss and then a lot of Canoptek Spyders and scarabs appeared and fixing things up including the food and at that moment Trixie, Spud and his mother, Lao Shi, Fu dog and Rose came in. I said," Honey hope you don't mind that I invited a few people." Susan starts sobbing and hugs me tightly and I hug her back and kiss her on her forehead. Guess the day is not a complete disaster.

Thad and Jasma are sentenced to life imprisonment and seizure of all financial assets for the charges mentioned : Possession and usage of illicit substances, human trafficking especially children, 500 forms of misinformation spreading, illegal counterfeiting of luxury goods, slavery, drug trade and distribution, fatal injuries caused by misinformation spread by their show. The director of show and script writer was also sentenced to 15 years in jail for spreading misinformation. ( Yeah, they will be dead in 24 hours after entering the prison.)
