Po sat on the rooftop of Jade Palace staring out at the setting sun in the distance, not a care in the world. He closed his eyes and rested his head against the warm rooftop.
"PANDA!" Shifu yelled up to him.
"What…AUGHH!"
Po lost his balance and tumbled down the side of the roof and landed on the ground in front of Shifu.
"How did you get up?!...never mind. Po, I need to talk to you."
The two walked into the Jade Palace. Armor and swords of all kind passed them on both sides.
"I've received word from Gongmen City that Lord Shen has been found roaming the streets of Gongmen City."
Po stood in shock. "But he's dead! I saw him get killed right in front of me."
"I know Po. But there is something I must tell you. Something only few have ever learned of the existence of. A very dark and powerful chi. The art of resurrection."
He walked over to the fountain inside the palace. "1000 years ago, a powerful demon named Jin brought down hell on China by the power of resurrection. He brought back hundreds of ancient enemies of China back from the dead to haunt the living. Only the force of an entire army brought down the resurrection spell, and not without great damage and loss. Ever since, the spell has become forbidden in China and no one has ever been allowed to see it. The spell book was locked away in a safe location in Gongmen City. Just this morning I received a report that the vault's location was destroyed and the book had been stolen out of the vault. As Dragon Warrior, it is your job to go investigate this as whoever has done this has brought back Lord Shen from the dead."
"So, what about the Furious Five?"
"They are currently on an assignment in Northern Asia. You will go to Gongmen City on your own and the Furious Five will meet you tomorrow at the Wan-Jen Tavern in the western part of the city for a report. Until then you are not to make any assault attempts on Lord Shen. You will only find out what you can learn about what he has plan. Am I understood?"
"Yes master. Watch but do not display my fists of awesomeness."
"Good luck Panda."
Po ran off.
"Is the system ready?" the red dragon asked through his earpiece.
"Affirmative Jake." Spud said typing on his keyboard. "The cameras will shut off in five…four…three…two…now."
The red LED light on the camera blinked and then went dark.
"You are now the invisible dragon." Spud said with a fist-pump.
"You ready Trixie?"
He heard 3 taps on his earpiece.
"Alright, let's get this operation started."
He opened up the door to the back of the building.
"Alright you're going to want to take a right through a door marked H3. Do you see it?"
He turned to face a narrow metal door with a pin code lock. "Yeah, but it's electronically locked. What the pin?"
"Hold on, descrambling the code right now." He typed away at his laptop. "The number should be 2614."
Jake punched in the code and door buzzed opening up. He quickly ran inside and down the hallway.
"Halfway down the hallway there should be a ventilation grate in the ceiling."
The small hum of rushing air came on above him. Glancing up, he noticed the metal grate.
"Yeah I see it above me."
"Good. Now rip out the grate and crawl up inside."
He ripped out the grate but stopped hearing a door knob creaking open from down the hallway. He dashed to the side of the doorway.
The door creaked open and the guard stepped the door. It opened and Jake held his breath, the guard only on the other side of the doorway.
"Of course I want to roam the bloody hallways of a bank searching for terrorists who probably want to kill me." He said with a thick British hallway. "Why do I get stuck with the shit jobs all the time?"
He looked down at the floor and saw the grate. His hand reached down for the walkie-talkie on his belt.
"Sorry!" Jake yelled as he swung his fist into the guard's face. The guard hit the wall unconscious.
"Oooh, sorry buddy," Jake said setting him down on the ground. "For your own good. Go buy something nice for yourself." He slipped a dollar into the guy's pocket.
"Jake what was that?"
"Nothing, continue."
"So crawl up inside and head straight ahead. There should be a 90 degree turn coming up on your right."
"Okay. I see another grate. Should I go through?"
"No no no, don't go through. The terrorists will hear you. Look inside and see if you can see what Trixie is doing."
"Get off me yo!" Trixie yelled slapping Valmont's hand off her shoulder.
"You meddlesome little ingrate. Bad girls like you don't get dates to the prom."
"Bad guys like you don't get away without bein' dealt some serious whoop-ass."
"Shut it. Do you have the money bagged Finn?"
"Not yet. I'm working on it."
"Well work on it faster." He shoved Trixie to the ground next to the other 10 hostages. "Now stay here. I don't want any messy business." Chow laughed aiming his pistol at them. "Don't make any sudden movements or sound girl."
Trixie stuck her tongue out at him.
Valmont glanced up. "Go check the hallways Finn, I'll take over handling the money."
"Okay."
Finn walked toward the hallway.
Spud looked down at his map. "Okay, you should see another grate underneath you. Drop into the hallway."
The dragon dropped down into the hallway. The room was quiet. Steel pipes ran through the sides of the room.
The door on one side of the hallway opened and Finn stepped through. His eyes widened as he saw Jake Long in the hallway.
"Oh crap, another demon."
He quickly pulled out his pistol and fired at the dragon. Jake dodged quickly to the right and jumped into the air, charging at him.
Finn dodged, but was brushed and knocked over. He sprang back up and fired another shot at Jake.
Jake shot forward and pulled back upside down toward Finn, the bullet flying underneath. He sprung back, his foot landing a direct blow against Finn's face.
Finn smashed head first into the steel pipe and dropped to the ground. He lay still, a small blood stain on the pipe.
"What was that Jake?"
"Knocked out one of his men. Looks like his chance of robbing the bank is now pipe dreams."
Jackie Chan sat on the couch inside Uncle's shop, pleased with himself and content. He was reading a paperback novel titled "Jurassic Park". He held a cup of tea and leaned forward to take a sip.
"JACKIE!" Uncle yelled from the other room. Chan splashed the hot liquid into his face and fell over trying to wipe it off.
Uncle strolled casually into the room. "Why are you laying around Jackie? You should be doing research!"
"Uncle, it is my week off of work." he said rubbing his head sorely. "The university can wait a week before I go on another dig."
Uncle slapped Jackie in the head. "You are so lazy! Why you won't even…"
The phone rang inside the shop.
"What now!?"
He picked up the telephone and listened for a second. "For you Jackie!"
Jackie took it out of his hand. "Hello?"
"Jackie, this is Captain Blackwood."
"Ugh…don't tell me you are sending me on another mission. I already stopped Shendu."
"Jackie, it's the talisman. Someone stole the snake talisman. We believe it is Valmont. He is in the middle of a robbery here in New York City. We need you to fly out as soon as possible."
Jackie sighed. "I'm on my way." He set down the phone.
"So where are we going Jackie?"
Startled he turned and saw Jade looking at him.
"You are going nowhere. This could be dangerous and you might get hurt."
"C'mon Jackie, please?"
She looked up at him with Bambi eyes.
"No. And that's my final answer."
He went upstairs to pack.
Jade got out her notebook.
"Time to start brainstorming ways to sneak aboard."
