Warriors of Flame
Ch 1
It was a peaceful night in Duloc but in the swamp Shrek was having weird dreams.
In them he and Artie were in a Chinese temple full of incensed candles.
Lotus flowers were there too.
Suddenly they heard strange chanting and music as a scroll appeared and unfolded itself.
"What is this?" Artie asked worriedly.
"Don't be afraid.
I won't hurt you. I am Shifu the dragon spirit of this scroll.
For many years the realm you live in has been protected by warriors with great mystical powers and great wisdom.
But now after years of waiting, the time of the Dragon Warriors has came once more.
You and Shrek are the Dragon Warriors for Duloc along with two others you care about.
Good luck." He told them.
"Wait! What does it mean?" Shrek asked him.
"You'll find out in time." Shifu answered as he vanished.
It was late in the morning when he woke up.
Fiona, Artie and Snowgre were already up along with Leah.
"Hey there Sleeping Beauty what's up?
You look like… Where did those kanji markings come from on you and Snowgre and Artie?
They look cool." Leah told him.
"What do you mean by that?" Shrek asked her worried.
He looked in the mirror. There were kanji marks over his body and a slender purple dragon on his face.
It's tail curled around his eyes.
Artie's was the same but with a green dragon and Snowgre had a dark blue dragon.
"It must've have something to do with the dream I had last night." Shrek said to them.
"Was it to do with a Chinese temple and a weird scroll inhabited by a dragon spirit?" they heard somebody ask and turned around.
It was Carley.
She had Chinese kanjis over her body and a black dragon on her face with fire coming from it's mouth.
"… Yes we did.
You're one too?" Artie said to her.
She nodded in reply. She looked nervous.
"I don't get it.
What does it mean?" Fiona asked.
"We're Dragon Warriors, protectors of legend.
It's my theory that they protected Duloc until Farquaad showed up.
I understand Carley being one because." Shrek said.
"Because what?" Leah asked curious.
"She was born in the Year of the Dragon in Chinese but Artie, me and Snowg?
I don't get it." He answered.
Fiona saw Leah smirk at that.
But a shadowy foe had been released by the Ogre Protection Unit from a Japanese scroll.
His name was Lai-san master of hate.
"So Shifu summoned new Dragon Warriors, eh?
I'll destroy them easily!" he thought as his four eye slits glowed red.
He was an Oni demon and very powerful. He had almost destroyed Duloc and Japan if it wasn't for the Dragon Warriors.
They'd combined their powers to seal him in a scroll but hid it so nobody could find it and free him...
