Ch. 4: Wong's New Apprentice
After school, the J-Teens hold up a meeting at Uncle's Rare Finds to tell the J-Team and Tso Lan what happened at school today.
"Then, Mikey tripped and spilled his lunch all over Stacey and her girl group," Colleen finished explaining.
"Oh no! My power in the hands of a bullied kid is bad news," Tso Lan said as he held his head with worry.
"The Popular Posse are not gonna stop making Wally miserable," Drago stated, "They are gonna look for excuses to hurt him until he snaps."
"Why would they go and pick on him?" El Toro asks.
"Because they know Wally won't fight back due to his size," Ice said.
"And here's what you didn't know, El Toro," Jackie said, "Their leader Stacey is Ice's sister and Valmont's daughter."
"What?! Ice, is this true?" Viper said with a surprised tone.
"'Fraid so, El Toro," Ice sighed, "It's somethin' I don't want to talk about."
Then, Xua Wing contacts Colleen through telepathy.
"Colleen, I need your help back at the castle," Xua Wing calls.
The J-Teens take a portal back to Avalon and find themselves in the Library where Xua Wing watches a frantic Daolon Wong collecting books and scrolls from each direction.
"Daolon has become frantic after seeing the wind power in Lee's hands," Xua Wing explained, "He's been collecting every spell in my library to help with the search."
Colleen approaches the wizard with concern.
"Daolon, you gotta get calm," Colleen advises him.
"If I stay any calmer, the whole world will be plunged into elemental chaos," Daolon yelled as he tries to grab a scroll up top, making a lot of books topple over him, "I must face it. I'm not as young as I use to be. Perhaps it's time I follow Chan's example and take in apprentice. I need someone of sound mind; someone with inherent goodness. Chrissie!"
"Me?!" Chrissie asks, "Why me?"
"Chrissie, you helped figure out the Goblins' hearing problems as a weakness," Colleen assures her, "Plus, you are the smartest kid in school and an excellent chemist."
"Besides, I need an apprentice who is very studious and academic. Now we must begin work at once," Daolon said as he takes her to the study.
