I don't own Jackie Chan Adventures or One Piece. Wish I did but that's irrelevant. This story is a part of Project Dark Jade and has been developed with help from Project Co Founder and inspirational writer Eduard Kassel. If you haven't read his work go and do so
So after several years absence from posting on this site , during which I improved my skills as a writer on such sites as Spacebattles and Sufficient Velocity, I am back to take another crack at it.

Prologue: Six Realms Prison Break.
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away."
- Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Jade Chan, niece of Jackie Chan, grand niece of Uncle and heroine in-training hopped out of the the Section 13 helicopter behind Jackie, Uncle and Tohru but before Captain Black and his mob of agents.
They were on a small island off the northern tip of Australia. A popular local for vacationers with the requisite pricey resort. The reason for their arrival was quickly clear.
Lighting streaked through a cloudless sky and on the Island sole cliff floated the dark robed figure of Daolon Wong, Dark Chi Wizard and professional pain in the good guy's buts.
The resort was quickly becoming a chaotic mess as Wong's spell took effect. Following the ritual he had pieced together from the Demon Archive, Da Vinci Code style, Wong named the Six Realms of Desire and with each name uttered the surrounding world twisted more.
At the shouted Name of DEVA the sea began to glow as thousands of alien stars danced across the water's surface. At the name of ASURA wraiths made of smoke with eyes of blood rose from the beach's sand and clawed at each other, blind in their fury. At the name of PRETA the perfectly manicured lawns and turf of the Resort was torn apart as zombies clawed out of the dirt moaning and howling. At the name of TIRYAG-YONI several of the resorts guest started screaming and changing, fur covering their bodies, nails growing into claws and teeth becoming fangs.
Jade hoped that effect wore off when Wong's spell was stopped otherwise the unlucky holiday goers where going to be in trouble. She noticed that not all the people had been turned into beasts, some remained human but there chances didn't look good with Were-beasts on one side and Zombies on the other.
Wong hadn't invoked the final realm of Naraka yet and the plan was to stop him before he did. As Uncle had explained on the way over Wong had essentially turned this slice of paradise into a voodoo doll of cosmic proportions, when he manifested an embodiment of Naraka he would use the massive Dark Chi bomb that he had converted The Demon Archive into to break open the prison realm unleashing a billion pissed off bad guys into the wider world.
Uncle assessed the situation and spoke quickly.
"Aiiyaah! Daolon Wong is invoking dark forces indeed. Jaaackie! You must stop him before he completes ritual. Head straight to centre of dark magic and use potion that Uncle provided to counteract spell. Uncle and Tohru will try to contain the energies that Wong has unleashed."
"But Uncle the civilians are trapped. We must - "
Captain Black chimed in.
"No worries Jackie, Section 13 will get the bystanders out of harm's way. Alright troops, its go time."
Jade grinned. This was she lived for, to watch and participate as the heroes fought the monsters and took their lunch money. She was so going to be Head of Section 13 one day, Uncle could say Magic must defeat Magic all he liked but secret agents vs demons never got old.
Things progressed as they were should with Jackie making his way across the warped landscape beating back wraiths, zombies and beasts with kung-fu acrobatics and the odd shout Sorry and Bad Day, Bad Day. Jade followed in his wake slipping through the chaos mostly unnoticed.
In the distance she saw Captain Black and a couple of Section 13 agents fighting Zombies as they lead the still human civilians to safety. Huh, one of the agents a pig-tailed blonde woman, had gotten a chainsaw from somewhere and was doing serious damage to the undead. Maybe Jade could see about having her join the J-Team, the group could certainly use more female talent.
Jackie had reached the clifftop where Wong was working his mojo. The Demon Archive floated above the ground the center of minature -whirlwind, the books pages dripping blood like an open wound and in the air above Wong something dark was taking shape.
On time the Dark Chi Wizard noticed Jackie.
"You! VERMIN! Still alive, what does it take to remove you from my path? – No wait, this is perfect I was planning to hunt down your kin to exact my revenge for imprisoning me in that cancerous parody of a timeline upon them."
"But like moths to the flame you could not help but come to witness the ascension of Daolon Wong! Once I stand among the Gods your suffering will be legend. The Demon Sorcerers themselves will shudder at your fate!."
Wong had gotten even crazier after getting back to their time, apparently things hadn't been working out for him in the alternate past Jackie had left him stranded in.
Wong started hurling magic blasts at Jackie, drawing on the raw power let loose by the ritual to strike at her uncle. Jade circled towards the Demon Archive pointedly not looking at the dark sphere of Naraka that was forming above the ritual. In the background Wong was monologuing.
"Your struggles are pointless Chan, soon I will tear a wound into the very fabric of the cosmos from which the dammed of Naraka may escape their imprisonment. And as creation bends to their whims I will be raised to new heights, my power restored by their gratitude."
Jade rolled her eyes, typical Daolon Wong making deals with bigger bad's to get power. The old wizard never had Shendu's thirst for revenge or Tarukdo's ambition of conquest instead obsessing over magical power.
Honestly it would have been kind of sad if the guy wasn't trying to kill her uncle and about the crack open hell. Jade grinned as she saw an opening. In his efforts to destroy Jackie Wong had moved away from the Demon Archive.
'Leaving the cornerstone of your plot unguarded Wong? Sloppy. If only some young intrepid heroine was waiting in the wings to save the day, oh wait she is!'
Jade threw herself across the clifftop and grabbed the Demon Archive, the book was hot and sticky to the touch the phantom blood leaking from its pages gluing itself to her fingers. With a wrench Jade tore the book from its invisible moorings and ran to the cliff edge.
Wong's spell needed the Demon Archive/Dark Chi Bomb to blow open Naraka. But in Jade's experience good and bad mojo tended to counterbalance each other and Wong had summoned representations of all the Six Realms for this ritual including the domain of the Deva's which was like Heaven. You didn't get much better than that.
Wong had noticed her grab and was screaming curses and threats, the darkness in the sky was thrashing and Jade threw the Demon Archive into the sea of stars.
Jade had time to notice that the blood from the Demon Archive remained on her hands and had stretched into crimson strings that connected her to the cursed book, then she was yanked by those crimson threads off the cliff into the waiting water. Her world was consumed by light, motion and impossible colors.
The last sound she heard before she slipped away was the sound of waves and a voice very much like her own laughing.
