(Series 2, Season 1 version)
(Again, I do not own JCA, thank you!)
Chapter 1: The One Who Succeeds Jackie Chan
It was five years after Drago and Shendu were trapped in the Netherworld, Strikemaster Ice and his gang were sent in prison by Section 13, and the Dark Hand were nowhere to be seen since Drago turned the world inside out. In Uncle's shop, Uncle was taking care of his shop, while Tohru was gathering the artifacts on the shelf, and Jackie helped him out. Jade was doing her studies, but she can't stop thinking about becoming a secret agent someday. As soon as she had an exam coming up and the summer has arrived, she was so excited that the school is over and the summer is here.
"Remember Jade, you have an exam coming up, so you better concentrate on your studies," said Jackie, trying to remind her.
Jade sighed. "Yes, Uncle Jackie, how can I forget that?"
All of the sudden, Jackie noticed Uncle's strange behavior if he sensed something unusual happen. He thought he looked worried about something when his uncle looked at the window.
"Uncle, are you feeling alright?" he asked.
"Yes, Jackie, Uncle is alright," Uncle replied, as he woke up from the trance. "But something tells me that there's a brand new journey and a brand new dark forces lies ahead…"
"But Uncle, how can you be so sure?" Jackie asked. "I mean, we already banished the demons to the Netherworld, Daolon Wong is no longer interfering us anymore, and Tarakudo and the other Oni generals were trapped in the oni mask!" Uncle quickly hits his forehead. "Ow!"
"It is true that we already defeated them all!" Uncle shouted at his nephew. Then, he lowered his voice in the normal position. "As I was saying, our mission maybe over for us, but the new mission has just begun for someone else instead. A hero lies within someone's courage, and someone who can stop the new evil force just like you did in the past, Jackie."
"But who could it be, Sensei?" Tohru asked.
"How am I supposed to know?" Uncle shrugged. "How am I supposed to know who has a brave heart and courage like Jackie? And how am I supposed to know what kind of ultimate evil will be like? It could be far worse than Shendu, Daolon Wong, or Tarakudo!"
"Uncle, if your predictions are true, then how can you be so sure that it's going to happen right now?" Jade asked.
Speaking of Uncle's 'predictions', there was a 21-year-old girl with long, black hair and brown eyes who climbed up the mountain at Yosemite National Park. When she got up to the top, she remembered what her brother says. He told her to search for the Chi Tang items. Chi Tang items are the ancient magical artifacts that were created by witches and wizards in centuries ago. She took out the scroll of Zhou Ming to look for the first item and its location. So she went to the cave and turned on the flashlight.
Once the explorer is brave enough to enter the cave, she ended up seeing two tunnels in front of her. Then, she questioned to herself. "Okay, which tunnel will lead me straight to the Chi Tang item, Vickie Trang?"
Vickie took out the scroll and saw the diagrams of a map. The red dot on the map indicates where she was now, and the bright blue 'X' indicates where the item was located, which it was followed by the left tunnel. So she chose the tunnel from the left side and headed straight to the magical item!
When Vickie made it through the tunnel, she finally found the first Chi Tang item. This item has a heart-shaped red rod and has a bell, in the center, hanging on its top corner. She was amazed when she found it and took it from the tippy-top hill. She gasped. "Amazing, it's a heart bell!" Then, she held on to it very tight, in case she doesn't lose it.
After Vickie found the heart bell, she was about to get out of this cave. But all of the sudden, she sensed something strange either she was being followed or someone's watching her. She began to run as fast as she can while she heard a howl of the wind, and the shadows were moving slowly. When she stopped running and out of breath, she turned around and see if someone's here to follow her or put up a fight.
Since no one is in the cave to stalk her, Vickie saw a light, which means she found a way out. So she exit the cave and finally made it out in one piece.
Vickie was about to get out of the mountain until a strange shadowy figure appeared in front of her. He was much taller than her; he wears a black cape and a robe, had a rusty metal helmet on his head with short black hair, had fiery red eyes and few markings on his face. He laughed in a very evil style. Vickie was terrified when she widened her eyes and moved back a little. She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she failed in first five attempts. She pointed at him and asked, "Who-who or what are you?"
The shadowy man chuckled evilly and answered. "I am Zhen Tao, the mastery of darkness, king of all evil, and sorcerer of dark and evil magic. I've been waiting for this moment. In centuries ago, I was able to take what's rightfully mine until that no good-for-nothing immortal witches and wizards cast a spell to put me in a slumber dimensional. After centuries later, their spell wears off, and I am finally free. And you, on the other hand, have something that I want!"
"What do you want from me anyway?" Vickie asked angrily.
"Why, the Chi Tang item, of course," Zhen replied, as he walked towards her. "Hand over the heart bell right now or be perished!"
"Not a chance, Zhen!" she exclaimed as she jumped over him, but she carefully stood still from falling off the cliff. Then, she turned to him. "If you want it, come and get me! At least, I've got the first one first, here's the old saying, 'finders keepers, losers whimpers.'"
Zhen raised his eyebrow. "Don't you mean, 'finders keepers, losers weepers'?"
"That's what I just said!" Vickie rolled her eyes.
After the conversation was over, they began to fight for the heart bell. Vickie jumped and kicked Zhen, but he held her attack. He tried to punch her, but she dodged his attack. She went behind him and tried to kick him once more. He flipped and fell down to the ground. When he got up, he growled, grabbed her arm and threw her off the cliff!
Vickie screamed when she was falling from the mountain until she landed on the tree tops. While Zhen Tao was laughing very hard, he finally managed to get his revenge. So he flew down to the forest to get the first Chi Tang item. He looked around to see if Vickie was unconscious or survive. A few moments later, Zhen didn't see her. He was outrage when she still has a heart bell and survived the fall.
"Ugh, no! How can this be!" he shouted in rage, and he began to punch the rock. "How on earth did Vickie Trang survived the fall like that? That Chi Tang item should've been mine by now!"
Few seconds later, Zhen's rage decreases when he calms down. "But not to worry, there are many more Chi Tang items everywhere in this world. So watch out, Trang, once the Chi Tang item activates itself, it should be mine."
After Zhen disappears, Vickie popped out from behind the bushes. She took out the heart bell, and she was amazed what Zhen said. 'There is more than one Chi Tang item?' She thought. 'This will take a miracle to find them all!'
