Jack's Epiphany Chapter 2: The Yin-Yang World

Jack arrived in the Yin-Yang world. It was a very surreal landscape with Chinese characters floating in the abyss. This place had its own set of rules. He started by going down the only path the world gave him, a straight beam of white road. This was the only road he would need; he knew this as the Yin-Yang world scanned your remaining chi and pointed the way.

The path suddenly curved down a cliff face, but Jack knew how to handle that because he had done this kind of obstacle before. He trusted the bizarre laws of gravity that this world held, and stepped over the edge. The centre of gravity in the Yin-Yang world is inside objects and curves, so it pulled him and the path together, and if he had looked back, he would have seen the path he had taken falling away beneath him, cascading like a solid waterfall.

All of a sudden, he felt an invisible force throwing him to the side of the path. He recognised it immediately, as it was the only living creature that

existed naturally in the Yin-Yang world. This monster wanted nothing more than his very chi energy.

Jack activated his Helibot, to gain a tactical advantage. Without Shen Gong Wu, this would be his best chance. He dodged and weaved as best as he could, but the monster could jump almost as well as Omi, and therefore he was hit with flying blow after flying blow. He was in the Chi-Beast's world now, so all he could do was play by the rules of the Chi-Beast. However that meant that because he only had half of his Chi, he didn't stand a chance.

The Yin-Yang world ran on willpower, so just by wishing things happened. Jack wished as hard as he could that his Good Chi would find him, and as he was giving up hope of winning he heard the familiar sound of a second Helibot. His good chi had come out to play. He looked in the direction the noise was coming from, and sure enough, there he was, sweater-vest tied around his corduroy trousers to give himself breathing space.

The look on Good Jack's face was the last look Jack expected. It was a look of fierce determination, as he wasn't about to let his bad chi get destroyed. "Jack, I shall be your eyes!" he yelled, before plunging head first into Jack's body. They felt excruciating pain as their spiritual fibres fused, forced together like some hideous yet beautiful magnetism. All of a sudden Jack's vision cleared, and he could see the creature with perfect clarity. His chi was whole again.

His clothes had also altered. His normally black trench coat had gained patterns of white swirls. His goggles, instead of black and orange spirals were decorated by Yin-yang symbols. His red hair was streaked with blue. He had done something he had never done before. He had embraced his good chi.

He had already won.

He flew circles around the Chi-Beast, punching and kicking with a power that he had never felt before. He dodged left, feigned right and delivered a powerful blow to the side of the beast's skull. He led the beast off the path, hovering over the abyss. The beast jumped at him, he dodged. The beast fell. However, as he was returning to the path, he was grabbed around the throat by something wet and slippery. It was the Chi-Beast's tongue. He had meant to take Jack with him as he fell, but Jack had a better idea. He leaned backwards until one of the helicopter blades hit the tongue cutting it clean off. He heard the Beast crying with a combination of fear, shame, and rage; that Jack related to, and pitied. His task here done, he used the Yoyos with a heavy heart and left the Yin-Yang world.
