Jackie Chan and the Dragon Ghosts

Chapter 1: Shendu's Ancestors

After the most recent failure of Shendu's efforts to free himself from the dimensional prison along with his siblings, the other demon dragons were upset with Shendu once more, so they fired a strange yellow beam at Shendu's body and reduced Shendu into a spirit.

"My body!" cried Shendu, "What have you fools done to it!"

"We are fed up with your failures in freeing us" replied the Moon Demon.

"Time and time again" said the Sky Demon as he circled the floating spirit, "you have yet to free us."

"This time" added the Water Demon, "you won't be so lucky in escaping or grasp."

"You better come up with a good plan in setting us free" continued the Wind Demon, "or we'll torture you for all eternity."

"I can reach our old ancestors into getting us out of this dimensional prison" said Shendu as his siblings were beginning to corner him.

"And how do you propose to do that?" asked the Wind Demon, "They're all gone!"

"Not necessarily" said Shendu, "you see, I am a spirit and I can travel into a realm known as the Ghost Zone to retrieve our ancestors."

"How do we know this is just another one of your faulty plans that would end up in failure because of Jackie Chan's interventions?" asked the Water Demon.

"Our ancestors' spirits are within that Ghost Zone" replied Shendu, "I know it, and I would furthermore use Valmont's body so that you can watch over my progress in freeing our ancestors from their prisons."

"Hmm" said the Moon Demon as he thought to himself, "this plan of yours might work after all."

"But how would we be able to get out of this dimensional prison?" asked the Sky Demon.

"There is an ancient temple within the Ghost Zone that was once a temple which the ghosts worshipped the ghost king known as Pariah Dark" said Shendu, "I can retrieve the necessary material to set you free."

"But just to be sure we have an understanding about your plans" said the Moon Demon as he took out a staff, the Moon Demon then charged up the staff and shocked Shendu, causing him much pain, "if you fail on any attempt to free us, that shall happen to you."

"And if it so happens you fail entirely" said the Water Demon, "we both get a turn using that staff on you, while your spirit floats helplessly in this dimensional portal."

"And by some chance you do succeed" said the Moon Demon, "we'll reward you with the return of your body."

"Very well then" said Shendu, "shall we begin?"

The Moon Demon then pointed his staff to an open area and a strange yellow beam came from its tip and created a portal.

"This portal only allows spirits like you to go through" said the Moon Demon, "now go."

"Do not fail us this time brother" said the Water Demon as Shendu's spirit entered into the portal.

Meanwhile, as members of the former Dark Hand were gathering together for their annual anniversary, Shendu's spirit had finally arrived. Shendu looked around and saw the usual members of the Dark Hand-Chow, Finn, Ratso, Hak Foo and of course Valmont.

"I don't understand why can't we restart the Dark Hand like back in the old days?" asked Finn to Valmont.

"Those days are behind us" replied Valmont, "besides. If we did ever go back to those old ways, we both know we would run into Jackie Chan and company."

"Understood" said Finn.

As Valmont was about to direct his old minions to a local restaurant they were going to eat at, Shendu saw his chance and leaped right into Valmont's body. Valmont knew something bad was happening as his body was being controlled.

"T-t-this c-can't be happening to me again" said Valmont.

Suddenly as Valmont looked into the window of a shop, he saw Shendu's face.

"What are you doing here?" asked Valmont to Shendu as he looked in the window.

"I have been assigned by my siblings to set them free" replied Shendu.

"Great" sighed Chow, "our old boss has been taken over by a spirit-again."

"So what's the mission this time?" asked Finn to Shendu.

"This time I have been assigned to retrieve my deceased ghostly ancestors from a realm known as the Ghost Zone" replied Shendu in Valmont's body as he turned to Finn.

"But won't that mean we would be fighting ghosts?" asked Ratso to Shendu.

"Precisely" replied Shendu, "and for that reason of course we are going to visit an old wizard and friend-Daolon Wong to turn you into chi warriors."

"Sounds like a good strategy to me" said Finn.

At that same moment, Daolon Wong was already in the area, attempting to retrieve the Talismans from Section 13 again with some new chi spells he had crafted. Suddenly he ran right into the Dark Hand who were marking their way to meet up with him.

"Daolon Wong" smiled Shendu in Valmont's body, "I am pleased that we are able to meet again."

"What is it this time?" asked Daolon Wong.

"I need your help in going into the Ghost Zone and retrieving my deceased ancestors" replied Shendu in Valmont's body, "and I need you to turn these four into chi warriors so that they would be able to attack any oncoming ghosts that would dare attack them."

"Hmm" said Daolon Wong, "I would do it., on one condition."

"And what would that be?" asked Shendu in Valmont's body.

"If we ever run into a halfa, I would want to be the one to take his powers" replied Daolon Wong, "now stand aside while I turn these four into chi warriors."

As Hak Foo, Ratso, Finn and Chow stood aside from Valmont's body; Daolon Wong took out his staff and carefully aimed it at the four members of the Dark Hand. A strange purple beam came out of his staff, hitting the four Dark Hand members and turning them each into chi warriors.

"So Big S?" asked Finn to Shendu, "How are you going to free your siblings?"

"With the Dragon Amulet" replied Shendu in Valmont's body, "you see. I need that amulet to absorb the dragon spirits. Once I have all eight of the dragon spirits, I can place it in Pariah's temple."

"But where should we look for this Dragon Amulet?" asked Ratso.

Suddenly a newspaper from a wind gush came and the paper slams itself right in Valmont's face. Shendu then grabs the newspaper and looks at the head article.

"Looks like we're heading to Wisconsin" said Shendu in Valmont's body as he gave an evil smile.
