A/N: Well here's chapter 4...

Raging fire filled the sky as the city slowly disintegrated into ashes. Whatever beauty it had would never rise again. You could thank the general known as Hak Foo, a name that was slowly carving itself into history. His massive blood lust and habit for wanting to cause mass destruction was becoming more and more known and powerful. It was that reason Darlon Wong was becoming worried. He only granted Hak Foo more power to help his army, but he was becoming increasingly disobedient, not to mention alienating the population with the massacre he was occurring.

"Meteor brings ERADICATION!" he screamed unleashing a massive pulse of energy practically wiping the already dead city off the map. When everything calm down only stems of smoke were left.

"This is not good" he muttered to himself. "Hak Foo you are my greatest warrior, even my own warriors are starting to follow you. You are no doubt powerful and thanks to you the once strong and fearful Shadowkhan army is slowly dying. Yet the more we win, the more we advance, the closer we become to our objective, the more you kill, the more power you seek, the more you will not let anything stand in your way. And now I fear you may-"

"Master, the city is clear; we have a clear path to Shanghai"

Wong nearly jolted in fear, he had not sensed Hak Foo coming anywhere near him. He looked at the orange's man face, studying it too see if he heard anything he said but it appeared he didn't….lucky.

"Good, then let's move on, the sooner she is defeated the better" he said starting to walk away. He expected Hak Foo to follow but when he turned he saw Hak Foo didn't, and instead seemed to be sneering at something.

"The shadow's, they still occupy this place" he said in a tone of disgust

"It's decaying so-"

"Let's make it decay a little faster" he said rising his right arm and started to gather energy.

…

"So it's really just a skin, like a disguise?" asked Finn as he observed Jade's Shadowkhan in human form.

"They pretty much are, they talk just find, I even had two of them fight to see if Jackie could sense them and since he cannot, they will be perfect to infiltrate the resistance" said Jade boosting of her work.

Finn silently groaned, she had ranted for the pass half hour, explaining the process on how to make a human shadowkhan. Finn was then grateful for his powers as he simply summoned a chair and tuned out. He only made the statement to make it look like he had been listening. He was about to dose off once more before he heard an ear piercing, like a woman had just been stabbed and had let out a shriek of pain. He immediately got up to see Jade looking like she was going through a seizure. As he reached down a pair of arms grabbed him before throwing him to the wall. Trying to gather himself, he saw the Shadowkhan, there unreadable expression's slowly descending into the floor with her.

"Were on the same side!" he screamed, frustrated they treated him like an enemy. He was about too to charge them before stepping on cracked glass and saw many Shadowkhan looking at him. Not doing anything, simply starring into his soul.

"Um…think I'll go for a walk…." He said losing his courage

….

After the heat of battle, your adrenaline starts to go down, and as a result you notice pain in areas you thought were find. And here he was, sitting down in some barren land with Viper tending to his wounds. His right foot was in bad shape, the explosion having torn through the skin but lucky the bone unharmed.

"Um, thank you" said Jackie

Viper remained quiet as she kept on wrapping his foot in bandages. The plan was simple. Form a resistance, bring that brute that killed her parents in a trap and also get Wong. Smaller goals were to weed out those sent by Wong, and also gather information on other prominent ones. After that they would be dealt with. Revenge complete, resistance gone, the Queen remains happy.

And yet she couldn't help but feel something may happen. You know that X-factor that seemed to make a simple situation hard. Whatever it would be, she would be prepared for it.

"Come on, let's get moving" she said as she finished wrapping him up. She saw his guardian, and she could tell his health was deteriorating, years of doing magic, the smoke, potions and things you came in contact with, well he was lucky to live as long as he was.

"Will he be alright?" he asked

Looking behind her, she could someone who looked very sad, as if this was his last friend. Still she had a mission to do, and for the Queen, she would carry it out.

"He'll be fine" she said a little more forcefully then she meant too. "But once we get to the meeting place, he'll get better-"

She stopped seeing a flash of shadow energy, not to harm her but too meet someone.

"Wait here and attend to him, I'll be right back" she said leaping from the ground before landing in an isolated area. Looking at her surroundings, nothing out of the ordinary, just grass fields and the gleaming moon.

"Don't get why you had to keep me out of the loop, a simple note would have done find" said Finn emerging out of nowhere.

"Must have slipped my mind" she said

"Sarcasm? Cocky, still that not why I'm here. Have you notice anything strange with the shadows?"

Perking an eyebrow, Viper tried to think "I know there in a little pain all the more reason to finish the mission, why?"

"Just asking….."

"Then you've wasted my time"

And with that Viper left as quickly as she came. Finn merely stood there, pondering what to do.

"So Viper doesn't know, hmmmmm, but maybe Finn can find out"

He imagined something was wrong with the Queen, but instead of letting Viper find out, he would, maybe even cure whatever was going on. Oh yes that dam favoritism would end. His thoughts of praise ended we he caught hundreds of red eyes staring him down. A thought crossed his mind that maybe the Queen had finally gone insane and was going to kill him. He about to bolt before a shadowkhan came out, holding a scroll, which he recognized as an imperial message from the Queen herself. He took and read it.

"So the Queen wants me back? Good maybe I'll finally figure out what's going on" he said trying to organize the confusing thoughts surrounding this.

Too me this chapter seemed a little slow but lot's of action planned ahead
