The Return of the Lady Yu, Jade Empress of all Oni!

J2 and J2 Revisited does not happen. So Future Jade and present Jade have never met. The time line of this happens about one year after Season Four.

Location: Ghost Zone: Sector 9: Phantom's Keep: Royal Council Meeting Room:

The United Kingdom of the Ghost Zone Council members were all sitting at the round table with the members of the Military and Navy. All 14 members of the council were confused about why they had been called to this meeting and most were shocked when Clockwork himself appeared and took his seat. Whatever their King wanted to speak about, it must be important and dangerous.

Some of the members were worried that the Humans were planning an invasion or had already attacked. Princess Danielle shot down those shouts of worry knowing that if the Humans had attacked, King Phantom wouldn't be calling a normal council meeting, but a War council which all of the ghosts had to agree with and nod to agree with Princess Danielle.

"So, does anyone know what the Dipstick wants?" Ember asked with her arms crossed.

"None and why do you continue to call him that?"

"Just case he is the king now doesn't mean he still isn't the same Dipstick we know," Ember said with a smirk that quickly turned into a gasp when she and the others felt a power far beyond anything they had ever sensed, but what completely shocked them was that whoever was generating that power was in complete and utter control of it. Even with that though, if that being wasn't in control, then the ground itself would be shaking in fear and the Zone itself would be collapsing under that much power.

"Is that…" Kitty left the question unfinished when she and the others saw Danielle's smile.

It was not long until some ones opened the double doors, that many could tell were two members of the Royal Knights and a young man in Sith robes and his mask on walked in. Immediately, everyone gave a bow to the man since they all knew who it was. Only one New Sith Lord had the mask of a King and only one would have a ghostly glow around him, it was their King. Lord Phantasm, King Phantom, Danny Phantom, Danny Fenton…all those names for a same person, the same person who was currently leading the Ghost Zone into a golden age, one none had ever seen.

However, when he appeared in the council room at the moment, many on the council were appalled by the power he was generating and the only reason they weren't suffocating from that power was that even last mere piece of it was under their King's control and that was what truly surprised them since they didn't think that such power could be controlled.

He's far stronger than Pariah now and he isn't even using the Ring or Crown yet, Ember, Skulker, Desiree and Kitty thought knowing that they had picked the right side. Especially since Walker had attempted his own rebellion and Danny crushed him…permanently and that was before his power was anywhere close to this high. "Rise, everyone, I am growing tired to having to tell you that only our enemies should bow to us and that we should not bow to one another," Danny said as his council rose up with Danielle beginning the meeting,

"So, Daddy, what is the purpose of this meeting," She asked, "I, myself, am interested," Danny chuckled at his daughter as he slowly walked around the council and then sat down on his throne with his hands crossed in front of his face.

"Dad"

"'Great one'" Frostbite asked as Danny turned to him and then the others.

"Tell me, what do all of you know about the Shadow Realm?" He asked as the ghosts looked at each other, especially the older ones.

"Such a dark subject, my King, why do you wish to know what we know about such a dark and dangerous place" Lady Dorathea asked with a frown on her face. The Shadow Realm, a realm not that different from the Ghost Zone, but unlike the Ghost Zone, nothing lived in that realm other than pure creatures of darkness that enjoyed being evil far too much…However, with the grin that Lord Phantom had right now, perhaps she was wrong.

"Hmm, I guess you are right, Lady Dorathea. When I arrived in the Shadow Realm it was as dark as I have been told, but it wasn't without a government or something of the like,"

"You were able to get into the Shadow Realm!?" Many of the ghosts asked shocked since no stories or rumors of that Realm told anything of being able to enter or leave it. Danny only chuckled,

"By purely happenstance and accidental means, but yes,"

This caused every last ghost on the council to immediately turn their heads to Danny so quickly that he was worried that if they had been alive, all of them would have whiplash. "My King, are you serious?" One of the Observants said as Clockwork gave them all a smirk.

"Yes, I am," Danny said as he showed them the dorsal aspect of his left hand where a very similar symbol was tattooed onto the glove covering that part of his head. A special magical ring of runes and Chi magic encircled the symbol and many of the ancient ghosts on the council reorganized that ring as a controlling agent while all of the ghosts reorganized the tattoo.

"…The symbol of Tarakudo…The King of all Oni…" The other Observant said as Danny chuckled.

"No, the King is long gone. It is now the symbol of Queen Yu, the Queen of all Oni and our newest ally,"

"What" Many of the council yelled as Danny frowned at them with a slight glare.

"I found nothing shocking about that statement and the rumors that is she dangerous are true, but that doesn't make her a monster," He sneered as a dark chuckled came from the shadows behind him and a blue, sharp nailed that were solid black came out and used the high-backed back of his throne chair to fully come out of the shadows revealing herself to be Lady Yu. Immediately the Fright Knight and Frostbite move to defend their king, but the look that Danny gave them told them to stand down which they did, albeit reluctantly.

Lady Yu just started to laugh at the sight as Danny rolled his eyes at the demon girl.

"I am so glad that you find this so funny, Lady Yu,"

"Forgive me, Lord Phantasm, but after centuries of being sealed in the Shadow Realm, I'll take whatever humor I can find," Yu said as Danny just shook his head and then turned back to his council. However, when he did that, he was met with shocked, confused, surprise and fear…all of it directed to Yu of all things.

Sighing sadly, Danny slowly massaged his temples, perhaps he should have thought this through a little more than to just show his council what he had found and that Lady Yu would be joining their ranks because of her abilities. However, when he thought of the plan he had hoped that his people would be more open than this. They were acting like humans! He thought in annoyance, humans that only had empty space that would fit the mall of America in-between their ears.

"THAT IS ENOUGH!" He roared as the council jolted back in fear as Danny glared at each one and then cleared his throat. "Forgive me, but you all were acting like those Humans in the GIW, stupid, narrow minded, and fearful. We are Ghosts. It shouldn't have been so surprising that we are open enough to allow any to join our Empire, our Kingdom, even if it is a Demon," Danny said as softly and as nicely as he could, but there were still coldness in his eyes.

"Forgive us, your highness, but we were just shocked that one of our own was able to get into the Shadow Realm and that the rumors of a Queen of all Oni were true. Never mind the shock that one of us actually freed her…"

"And is there something wrong with that?" Lady Yu said hissing at Lydia who paled a little.

"No, Lady Yu, it is more of a surprise then anything,"

"I do not like that attitude of yours. Perhaps I should have Commander Atsushi of the Samurai Khan teach you otherwise," Lady Yu said as Lydia went paler as a shadow slowly emerged from the floor.

"Enough!" Danny yelled with his fully mature and powered Copy Eyes as he glared at Lady Yu and Lydia causing both of them to tense and look at Danny clearly shocked, surprised and a little scared.

After several seconds of silence, Danny smiled and deactivated his eyes. "That is more like it. Now please, I called this meeting to introduce you to Lady Yu, so please let us have some questions and have a vote whether or not Lady Yu can join us. My vote is yes, of course," Danny said as the ghost murmured among each other and then a voice vote was called out as everyone began to vote. The first one was Clockwork who voted yes. When that happened quickly many of the ghosts went in line with his thinking, other than the observations, but that wasn't surprising.

"Then it is agreed that Lady Yu shall join our ranks. So Lady Yu, please take your seat," Danny said as Lady Yu smiled and a chair grew from the shadows nearby Danielle's and Lady Yu sat down with all the gracefulness of an Empress. Her chair was the only one of Japanese design, but its height matched that of the other council members which all of them were lower than Danny's meaning that she had agreed to serve Danny and the New sith Empire and not the other way around.

"Alright then, what are her abilities?" The Fright Knight asked with his arms crossed and the Soul Shredder in its sheath.

"Perfect control of the shadows, commander of all the tribes of Shadowkhan, completely knowledge of Dark Chi and Good Chi abilities, spells, hexes, curses, transformation spells, some knowledge of necromancy, how to slip by and bypass any Chi wards, I can fire energy rays and balls of shadows for attacks and shields and powers that far extends that of mine and others life times, the knowledge and power of the Lotus Temple, the culmination of nine hundred years of demonic boredom in the netherworld and the knowledge of all the former Demon Sorcerers." Lady Yu said as the Fright Knight nodded in acceptance. He didn't matter who joined as long as they were strong and wouldn't hinder the Ghost Zone or the New sith Empire.

"Are any of your abilities not only dark?" Lydia asked as Danny and the others looked at Lady Yu who frowned.

"I must admit that before I was sealed I did not have the patience or discipline for such arts, but during my banishment, I have learned several spells and techniques meant to heal or help then to just destroy." Lady Yu said. "And those would include, what exactly," Lady Dorathea asked as Lady Yu smiled, "Those spells include Aromatherapy, Synthesis, Healing Wish, Heal Pulse, Poison Heal which heals against poisons, Barrier, Recover, as well as several absorptions, healing potions and other abilities designed against certain attacks and abilities," She finished as Lady Lydia and Lady Dorathea nodded and smiled at her, accepting those answers. Clockwork just smirked as the two Observants narrowed their eyes. Like before they were narrow minded and believed that the way they were viewing time was correct, but Danny and Clockwork knew otherwise. "You were once human, Lady Yu, one that had so much promise. Yet look at you now. You are a demon. Why should we believe that one that willing gave up on their humanity should be allowed to…"

"If it is a matter of humanity, Observant, then perhaps we should talk about what you and your council has done over the years, especially with the matter of our King," Kitty said with her arms crossed as the Observant glared at her, but didn't say anything else and sat back down.

"Observant," Danny said simply as the two looked over at him so he continued,

"You must remember that like Walker was, you and your council are highly unlike in the Ghost Zone. Remember that I and this council are in command, not you," He said as the two Observants nodded to agree. They didn't want to end up like Walker in the slightest.

"Good," Danny said simply as he then turned to the full council. "Are there any other questions?"

"Yeah, baby-pop, what is this army of Shadowkhan that Lady Yu spoke of," Ember asked as Lady Yu smirked, but it was only after a nod from Danny that several shadows appeared from hers and then formed into the generals of the Shadowkhan, but there were more than just nine that were heard about in legends and rumors about Tarakudo and his Shadowkhan.

"First is General Ozeki of the Rikishi, otherwise known as the Sumo tribe of Shadowkhan. Like his Shadowkhan, he is a large armored Sumo wrestler and being 6 feet tall. Then is General Hiruzen of the Shinobi, otherwise known as the Ninja tribe. General Kage of the Hiru, otherwise known as the Shadow Eater Tribe is next. Then is General Kani of the Crab Tribe. After that is General Kamisori of the Razor Tribe, then General Kuro-Kamakiri of the Mantis Tribe then is General Kuro of the Ika, otherwise known as the Squid tribe. Next is General Koumori of the Bat Tribe, next is General Orochi of the Hebi, otherwise known as the Snake Tribe. General Kouchuu of the Beetle Tribe," Lady Yu said as the General mentioned stood up.

"Next with General Ryu of the Kokuryuu, otherwise known as the Black Dragon Tribe and General Kasumi of the Kunoichi Tribe is next. General Chiya of the Neko, otherwise known as the Cat Tribe is next followed by General Akibatsu of the Wokou, otherwise known as the Pirate Tribe with General Kumo of the Ussuri, otherwise known as the Bear Tribe. Next is General Kameko of the Turtle Tribe, followed by General Ganseki of the Buyokua, otherwise known as the Dancer Tribe. Finally is General Ikazuki of the samurai Tribe." Each of the generals looked like the Shadowkhan they commanded. 18 generals…18 different tribes of Shadowkhan, Many of the ghosts thought with a smile on their faces.

This would work out perfectly. "Alright then, what about the Shadowkhan you and those generals command?" Danielle asked as her tactical mind already running half a mile a minute. Lady Yu smiled as a representative of each Shadowkhan Tribe appeared from the shadows, standing at attention. "The first is the Ninja, the Shinobi, and the most commonly seen Shadowkhan from my point of view.

They have tradition Ninja tools and seem to be the most versatile of the Shadowkhan. Their outfits possess capes that allow them to glide for a brief amount of time. The Razor Tribe has long, sharp fingers, like knives and their legs are pointed to an edge. They are faster than other Shadowkhan and can cling to almost anything. They demonstrate remarkable agility and fighting prowess."

"The Bat Tribe is capable of flight and can also fire beams of shadow energy from their hands, which act as lasers or ropes. The Sumo Tribe is large, Sumo Shadowkhan. They are quite strong for being so heavy in appearance. Their strength rivals someone who bears the Ox Talisman, one of several Talismans that are under lock and key," Lady Yu shrugged,

"Regardless of the Talismans, the Sumo Tribe demonstrate great fighting abilities, but are unable to move well unless via shadow-travelling. The Samurai are as they are, encased in Shadow Samurai armor, making them quite durable and hard to defeat. The wield Shadow swords that can cut through anything and it is stated that they are the most powerful of the Shadowkhan. The Squid Tribe is the scariest in appearance and is very stretchy snakelike Shadowkhan; usually extending their arms out and they can also become intangible. I recommend not removing their masks."

Danielle's smirk was already planted on her face as Lady Yu continued. "The Crab Tribe are extremely powerful, even when split in half and have great strength, fighting ability and agility. The Leeches or Shadow Eaters are the smallest of all, looking like little sharks on legs. They might seem rather pathetic, until they begin eating Shadows, causing them to grow progressively in size. With enough shadows to feed it, a single Shadow Eater can grow as big as a skyscraper. They are the only Shadowkhan without eyes."

"The Mantis Tribe has mantis like arms and four legs. These claws are fast, powerful and sharp with powerful piercing and cutting abilities. The Pirate Khan are just that, Shadow Pirates armed with Shadow Swords and pistols that shoot shadow energy similar to the Bat Khan, but their ability is their seafaring which surpasses any in the world," Lady Yu said as Lady Dorathea smiled at that, finally getting what Princess Danielle and King Phantom were thinking. The Beetle Tribe includes every last beetle on the planet, the only difference is their color matches the colors of the Shadow Khan, but they can be used as hidden spies and lookouts. The Black Dragon Tribe is Black Dragons. The unholy offspring's of lightning and dead itself. I call them Night Furies and while they are small, they have a sleek, dark body that is almost black with two pairs of wings, two mobile, and ear like plates on the back of their heads to show their moods. They have a pair of large, yellowish-green, cat-like eyes and sharp retractable teeth with a short neck, but no horns. In flight, the Night Fury's wingspan is unrivaled, bearing 48 feet. This allows it to fly faster, long and further similar to a jet plane. They use wing-like flaps on their tails to steer and maneuver, but not only are they fast in the air, they are also very fast on the ground, running very fast on land and can even leap from skyscraper to skyscraper or anything like that including trees."

"They are generally quite aggressive to any form of threat they find, but they have a different personality when they are not threatened. They are curious creatures that will attempt to understand new things they observe and are intelligent enough to attempt to recreate the actions that they see. They are quite capable of communicating in any language they wish to. Their main type of attack style is dive-bombing at enemies at great speed while being completely camouflaged within the dark sky. The Night Fury is able to be completely invisible at night because of its dark colored scales. In addition of dive-bombing, the Night Fury will also spit out oxygen/acetylene-fueled flames that will explode upon impact and will instantly incinerate anything. They are amazing fighters and use their incredible explosive fire to damage any unlucky foe and they are very agile in flying, using this to confuse their enemies. The snake tribe can form into any snake species and their Chi abilities far extend those of the other Tribes. They can merge with a surface of anything to avoid damage from both melee weapons and Chi blasts and can shed and materialize a new body after sustaining massive injury or as a means to elude a seemingly inescapable attack, typically by regurgitating it from their mouths. After emerging the user's clothing and injuries are completely restored with even amputated limbs being regenerated. I know it is disgusting and sick, but it is an interesting and useful technique." Lady Yu said after seeing the looks on their faces.

"With their snake body, their speed and ability is beyond the other Tribes on land at least. The Neko Tribe have cat ears on the top of their heads with their black hair tied in a ponytail held in place with a red ribbon while wearing a mask similar to the Ninja Tribe which covers everything but their red eyes and their blue skin. A red said is around their waists while skin tight black pants cover their legs and a light black robe covers their chess with a black undershirt under it. Black Sandals cover their cat-like feet while the shirt is short sleeved and black forearm length bracelets are on their arms. The black cat tail coming from them and their retractable clawed hands and the humanoid feline features are the only thing that separates them from the Female Shadowkhan. They are armed with black and red fans and other ninja tools. The Turtle Tribe is black turtles with eight holes in the bottom of their shells. They also have large flipper-like arms and stumpy legs and retractable claws to use as fingers. They have the ability to retract into his shell and blow very strong and powerful winds out of the holes in the front of their shells or can suck like a vacuum by reversing the flow of wind. They can fly by pulling into their shells and blowing air out to push themselves along or spinning their limbs like propellers. Their biggest ability is the immunity to magic, dark and light, and their extremely strong shells that can project them and others from any attack.

"The Ussuri Tribe is brown bear with extremely sharp claws and wore black Shadowkhan armor and is extremely strong in martial arts. The Buyokua Tribe adorned quite richly and steeped in symbolic clothes meaning for the type of role, which what Jade saw were mostly battle. They wore black and blue formal robes and have white masks they could change to match anyone their chose, dead, living or nonexistent. They can perform any sort of Japanese dance, but prefer the Sword Dance. The Kunoichi Tribe wears a black formal kimono with white flower patterns spread over it. Their black hair is tied back once on the top and again on their sides of their faces, framing their faces dome-like. Their faces are painted white with very rich red lips, but none of their skin is shown, even their hands are covered by the kimono. Their eyes are a piercing purple color that seems to be almost hypnotizing with long eyelashes. It is alluring. The Shadowkhan is surprisingly tall, but that is because they wear 15cm tall footwear. While they appear to be at a great disadvantage when it comes to fighting, their speed is beyond that of the Shinobi Tribe and underneath the lower part of its kimono was a similar, tighter, black version of the trousers/skirt from the Hakama that could be used to greatly improve it mobility be tearing off the lower part of the kimono. Their ability is being the greatest of infiltrators and assassins and they can morph their form to better conceal themselves within the environment they find themselves in."

At this time, Lord Phantasm considered it apparent to inform the council of Lady Yu's story. She was 'The Jade Empress,' the 'Queen of All Shadowkhan', the top Kahuna of evil within her world, and she was now being sealed because of it. She had become strong for her family! Her power was now greater than any in the world and now they had decided she was too powerful!

She felt betrayed by them, they kept denying her the ability to help, but when she finally could help, they still denied her. So she turned evil. In one night she became 'The Jade Empress' by breaking into Section 13's vault and absorbing the Mask of Tarakudo within herself.

Then she moved onto the Dog and Horse talismans, she was now completely immortal. However, then she wanted more. "In her quest to become the evil to contain all others, she lost her way." Lord Phantasm said as he continued his story as his council nodded to understand that part. Thus she broke Daolon Wong out of prison and demanded to be taught from the decrepit old man.

At first he refused, but her shadowy friends persuaded him otherwise. Of course he tried to enslave her, but she took care of that permanently. Then she sought the power from within the 'Lotus Temple,' and then the knowledge of those Demon sorcerers trapped in the Netherworld. They too denied her at first, but only then. Now she is the new Demon sorcerer, the most powerful of all because now she is the only one.

After they taught her, she removed them because they too sought to manipulate her, but they failed…they always fail. Now she has all the knowledge of Daolon Wong behind her, now she had the culmination of nine hundred years of demonic boredom in the netherworld, and now she had the knowledge of all they possessed before their sealing.

She was a master of Dark Chi magic in every sense of the word. Nine legions of Shadowkhan obeyed her every whim, but it didn't last. Her J-Team, lined up, shoulder to shoulder in battle stance…against her, and they were all chanting the same good chi magic garbage against her.

"The Jade Empress, Queen of the Shadowkhan, also known as the Lady Yu was sealed into the Shadow Realm…forever, by her own friends and family." At this many of the council nodded having come conclusion to that on their own.

"Of course like any evil creature, she swore she would return and end them." At this many of the council tensed in some worry, but the hand that Lady Yu held stopped them.

"Please relax. I have, of course, mellowed out since my banishment so many years ago in my opinion."

"She attributes it to a lack of rigorous and boring meditation, something very needed in her timeless prison." Lord Phantasm chuckled while the Lady Yu glared at him, but just continued by finishing the story of her training with Lord Phantasm and the training he has completed.

"Any questions?"

The Council was flabbergasted when Lady Yu finished and Danny couldn't help but smirk at them. Perhaps if they were move like his daughter and always thinking of the big picture as well as the short and long term items, the Ghost Zone would have been able to stop Plasmius from freeing Pariah and perhaps even stopping Pariah when he was freed. Inwardly shaking his head, he reminded himself that this was not the time or place for those thoughts and if he was honest with himself, they were pointless.

He could not think about how he would be if the denizens of the Ghost Zone didn't want him as their leader, their King, their Emperor. Oh, how tantalizing was that possibility of just being normal Danny Phantom/Fenton! Almost as tantalizing as the prospect that Sam loved him, the way he loved her, but he couldn't bank on either possibility. He couldn't risk the mess it would cause him in either case.

It was his small sigh that brought the council out of their thoughts and then to their King. Most of the ghosts that knew Danny before he became the Ghost King all knew why he had sighed, but none of them talked for they knew that this was not the time to have that conversation. Lady Yu arched an eye-brow at those looks, but made a mental note to ask about this at a later time.

"So, punk, can we have the story of how you found her, released her and don't lie I know you too well," Johnny asked as Lady Yu and Danny each shared a nasty smile on their faces.

"Why not"
