Hello, lovelies. Tis I, your forgotten literary savior. I apologize for causing such a long, distressing wait for this chapter, but I have been BUSY AS FUCKING HELL! But, now that I've some inspiration, I'll be writing this, and likely continuing it. You must remember, I make this stuff up as I go along, so I don't even know how this thing will end...

That aside, thank you to those who have commented, and hatred towards those who read and did not, I shall find you and gut out your innards. 8D

On with the show:

-

Clay hissed in pain as the elder monks bandaged his leg, having carefully removed the knife which had been so rudely embedded into it. The other monks stood by Master Fung, who looked most troubled by Clay's injury. He spoke:

"This is most troublesome," he said, as a matter-of-fact. "It seems this new adversary is not above using deadly force."

"Yeah, he would have killed us if we hadn't gotten out!" Kimiko exclaimed, still pale from the experience.

"This man has no respect for life, and no honor in combat!" Omi declared.

"Not to mention he has two Shen Gong Wu, even if one isn't activated yet." Rai added, raising a finger. Master Fung bowed his head, his brow furrowed.

They went to the Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu. Master Fung furled it open, revealing two pages.

"The Anpu Scythe is a dangerous Shen Gong Wu. We can only hope that 'Johnny' does not discover its powers. But that is not my main concern."

He turned the page. "The Eshu Effigy is a most formidable weapon. With it, the user can temporarily overshadow people, animals, and even inanimate objects, bending them to their will.

"Temporarily?" Kimiko looked to Master Fung. He gestured to the scroll's illustration.

"The wielder can only control a living being as long as the victim is unaware they are being controlled. Unless you your mind is strong, you will be under the user's control until he decides to release you."

"This is very distressing," Omi closed his eyes, distressed. "To think that such a person has two very powerful Shen Gong Wu-

"Yeah, but he doesn't know how to use them!" Rai exclaimed.

"Yet..." Kimiko finished, as worried as the rest of them. Dojo slithered up, an urgent look on his face as he shivered excitedly. "Hey, another Shen Gong Wu just went active!"

-

Jack Spicer growled in frustration. "Okay, who moved my impact drill!?"

He lifted a large, bulky box, marked "Old Stuf", (likely labeled by Jack.) He removed the lid, taking things out of it and tossing them to the side.

"Let's see, plastic ratchet set, PS7 from the future, with no GAMES might I add!" he mumbled.

"Butter knife, black bomb, jar of purple stuff...and what's this?"

He pulled a medium sized, plush, green spider with blank, white eyes with black arrows pointing away from them. The legs were black, and it had a pair of yellow pincers for a mouth. Along it's back, a solid, black line went down the middle of its abdomen. Jack looked at it quizzically.

"Hey, I don't remember buying this..."

"Hello Jack." said the spider, with a familiar voice. (Familiar to us, that is)

Jack stared down at the plush toy, mouth ajar and eyes wide. He screamed his little girly scream, before dropping the toy and ducking behind the work bench in terror. The plush spider would have rolled his eyes if he could. 'This is going to be fun...' he thought, sarcastically.

-

"Has the voice been released?"

"Yes, Master."

"And has the legume discovered his new 'weapons'?"

"Yes, Master, he has saved the boy from a pedophile and his voice has not yet interfered."

"And I have the disk." The disk shone in the dim light. "If all goes well, I will no longer endure this travesty. Now, retrieve the Yo-Yo."

"Yes, Master, right away." And the door shut, unfurling the tapestry as such.
