Ch. 3: Drago's Secret

The J-Teens were back at Section 13. Drago was in his bedroom asleep. He was finally regaining consciousness. He sees his friends and Captain Black surrounding him.

"What happened?" Drago asked.

"We were's gonna ask you the same thing, D-Dude," Ice said.

"You went crazy and tried to hurt Illry," Cody said.

"What? I don't remember any of it?" Drago said.

"I'm afraid I know why you've been acting tense, Drago," Hsi Wu said, "I overheard Jackie talking to Captain Black. Tonight is a lunar eclipse."

"What?! Not again!" Drago yelled.

"Why? What does the lunar eclipse have to do with the way Drago's been acting?" Jade asked.

"You know all those anime cartoons about how half-demons change during whatever phase of the moon they were born under?" Hsi Wu asked.

All of the J-Teens suddenly have shocked looks on their faces.

"Please tell me that doesn't have some truth to it!" Jade exclaimed.

"Afraid so, Jade," Hsi Wu said, "Drago was born on the day of a lunar eclipse. Each time one shows, Drago's demon side takes control of his mind. When that happens, Drago has no control of what happened today. His demon side causes him to go wild and attack anyone or anything in sight."

"How was Shendu able to control Drago during the lunar eclipse?" Captain Black asked.

"My father made an enchanted collar," Drago explained, "It had hanzas on it that suppressed my demon half. I have to get it. Without it, it's only a matter of time before I burn San Fran to ashes and hurt all of you."

"Don't sweat it, Drago," Cody said, "We'll get it for you. Hsi Wu, where's the collar?"

Hsi Wu tries to remember where the collar is.

"In Shendu's bed chamber…at his palace…IN HONG KONG!!!"

"Hong Kong?!!" the J-Teens said in unison.

"How are we gonna get the collar if it's out of the country?!" Ice exclaimed.

"We can get there using the Rabbit Talisman!" Chrissie said.

"That's good, but what do we do with Drago until we get the collar?" Cody asked.

"I'll call Uncle and Tohru," Jade said, "They may know remedies that will Drago until you get the collar."

Jade dials on her cell phone. What they don't know is that the goblins have opened a mirror that listened in on their conversation.

"So the eclipse tonight is causing Dragon Boy to literally lose himself, huh?" Baldro said, "We could use this to our advantage."
