Queen's Ascension
Disclaimer: I don't own Jackie Chan. This is my first story so be nice!
A recent review has informed me that there is some confusion about the timeframe of my story, so I will clear that up real quick. Season 1 of the Jackie Chan Adventures, the Talisman Arc has been cleared with no changes. Season 2 has been skipped entirely with the sole exceptions of episodes 3 and 6. But neither has any mention of Shendu or any of the other Demon Sorcerers. Season 3, the Magic Animal Arc, replaced 2 in the story. So that has happened with a slight change during the last episode that will be mentioned later on in the story. And Season 4 has just been completed, which is where my story began. So that is where we are right now. Hope that clears a few things up! Enjoy!
Summary; What if when the Nine Demon Masks broke, instead of reviving the Nine generals, something different happened? What if Jade was given the chance to become the ShadowKhan Queen? Dark Jade! Alternate TimeFrame! Season 2, the Demon Portal Arc hasen't happened yet only episodes 3 and 6 have happened. Season 2 was replaced by season 4. Enjoy!

Chapter 4:
Jackie's POV:
Jackie slumped into the chair in his room in Uncles Shop. It had been two weeks since Jades transformation, and things had been hectic. Uncle had been tearing through book after book, scroll after scroll almost nonstop since then only stopping to sleep and eat when nessacery. Tohru hadn't been any better, as he silently blamed himself for what happened.
But truly the only one suffering because of this more than Jade was, was Jackie himself. He blamed himself for what happened, he shouldn't have let Jade get anywhere near the broken remains of the Oni masks, But he was in shock at seeing the things that had been giving them so much trouble these past few months break so suddenly, had put him in a state of shock that made him unable to react to Jade until it was too late.
Jackie felt like a failure as an uncle. Jades parents had placed their faith and trust in him to care for their daughter, and what does he do? He gets their daughter transformed into a demon, and with there being a chance that it could be permanent.
The only person that might know of a way to change Jade back would most likely be the Dark Chi Wizard, Daolong Wong. But neither he nor Uncle was willing to go to him for answers, for different reasons. Uncle because of his stubbornness and pride. Himself because he didn't trust the dark wizard not to try and do something to Jade. He wouldn't trust the man enough to let him anywhere near Jade, much less cast a spell on her.
Speaking of Jade, the thought of her brought up the images of her new transformation, and with them came some dark memories of her time as the ShadowKhan Queen. He still had nightmares about that person.
He called her 'that person' because he didn't associate her in any way with the real Jade. The memories of that creature still haunted him to this day, especially her eyes.
Her eyes.
Those evil red eyes, which gave of a feeling of cruelty, malice and a feeling of pure evil still haunted him.
It was for things like this that the archeologist felt like a failure. He just couldn't seem to be able to give Jade a safe stable environment to grow. What, with Demons, Dark Chi Wizards and other assorted evils just crawling out of the woodwork, for the sole purpose to haunt him it seemed, it always put Jade in danger.
Now she was a demon.
She was a demon and it was all because he got her involved with magic.
'Well, I can't say I got her involved. Most of the time she involves herself.' He thought with a small amount of amusement.
It was true more often than not Jade involved herself with these kinds of things.
Jade may have thought he didn't like it when she followed him on his trips, which was true for the most part, but he couldn't honestly say he blamed her. In fact he could go as far to say he was slightly proud of her.
After all one of the first lessons that he taught her when he began to teach her martial arts was the importance of family. And with him often going on dangerous journeys rather often, he could say that her not trying to help him would go against everything that he ever taught her.
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud crash!
Jumping to his feet he raced to the stairs and came upon a stunning sight.
It was Tohru lying on the floor unconscious, with Valmont standing over him!
'What is he doing here!' thought a frantic Jackie.
It was a good question.
After the talisman incident Valmont vanished of the radar. With enough evidence to convict him, Section 13 seized his business, leaving the man high and dry in terms of resources and funds.
The only two times that the man was ever seen again, was when he tried to use the Horse that inherited the Horse Talismans power to reverse a curse done to him turning him into a child.
The other was when he bought one of the Oni masks, but aside from that they never saw him again. Yet here he was apparently attacking his old enemies.
Quickly shaking away his shock the middle aged Chan took action getting into a fighting stance, "Valmont, what are you doing here?" he demanded.
The green suited man stiffened before turning around slowly.
Jackie gasped.
His eyes!
Those glowing red eyes!
There were only two beings that he could think of that had those eyes. One was in section 13 the other was destroyed.
Or so he thought.
With a shaky voice the archeologist asked, "Sh...Shedu?"
The possessed man gave an evil grin and spoke in a dark, raspy voice, "Hello Chan."
With speed no normal human had the man rushed forward and planted a bone shattering punch to Jackie's stomach.
Slumping to the ground, the man passed out, with a final thought of, 'bad day, bad day bad day,
Then his world went black.
End Jackie's POV
Jackie sighed as he relaxed on a nice warm beach, listening to the waves and the seagulls were calming. Looking over to his right of in the distance he could see Uncle and Tohru sitting under an umbrella, reading by the looks of it.
In front of him near the water was Jade, back to normal, and Paco both were helping to bury El Toro who looked amused by their antics. But his thoughts were interrupted by a voice purring out, "Well, well, well look who decided to wake up."
Looking to his immediate right he saw something that made his jaw drop and his heart stop.
It was the ex-thief Viper, wearing a red bikini that did little to hide her figure or her rather generous…assets.
Grinning like a Cheshire cat, she leaned down and purred out, "Have a niece nap?"
Blushing and trying, but failing, to form a coherent sentence Jackie stuttered, "V..V…Viper!"
"JACKIE!" barked out a deep voice.
Jackie jumped up from his…hospital bed? Looking around he was met with the sight of, if he had to guess, was Section 13's medical bay. And there standing with his arms crossed and an amused expression on his face was Captain Black.
"Having a niece dream about our former snake in the grass?" he questioned with a smirk on his face.
Blushing and sputtering out denials, Jackie was cut off by Black just chuckling, "I'm just messing with you Jackie. But all jokes aside we have a problem on our hands." Spoke the section 13 head.
Getting serious himself Jackie responded, "I know Captain Black, and believe it or not Shendu is back and he's possessing Valmont."
Nodding his head Black replied, "Yes we assumed as much. And here I was hoping that we had seen the last of old lizard lips for the last time. This will be, what, the third time he's come back?" Questioned the captain.
Thinking for a moment Jackie nodded, Yes first time with the Talismans but Jade destroyed him, then again when Daolong revived him again before Uncle sealed him again and Jade destroyed him for a second time." Jackie paused, saddened by the thoughts of his imprisoned niece.
Sighing Black turned to face Jackie completely, " Look, he began, I know that you don't like the fact that I quarantined Jade, Jackie but I don't have any other choice. She took over Section 13 once with little effort, and hurt, nearly killed several people in the process."
Jackie winced at that remark. It was true, even though they had told Jade that she didn't hurt anyone, the truth was vastly different. The truth was that she seriously hurt, nearly killed several agents. But they didn't tell her because they didn't want to burden her anymore than she already was with guilt.
"Personally I trust Jade with my life. But I can't ask my men to put their lives on the line because of that alone. If you could tell me of a way, give me something that I could use to ensure the safety of my men, then I would get her out of quarantine in a heartbeat. But until then she will have to stay where she is." Black finished with a note of finality.
The archeologist sighed, " I know that Captain. And I understand your decision. But despite Jades current condition she is still my niece. The thought of her being locked up in a cage of any kind is disturbing to me." Shendu had freed one of his Demon Brethren.
Black nodded his head solemnly, "I understand your position, but unfortunately we must move on to other matters. So I'll bring you up to speed with what's happened in the last three days you've been out."
Jackie's eyes widened in surprise.
"When Shendu broke into your store he only took one thing. A book on magical artifacts in Tibet. Tracking his there we discovered we were too late to stop him but we still learned what his plan is. Apparently, Shendu was but one of eight other demons, back in ancient times, but his siblings were sealed away in another dimension. Now Shendu had recovered something called the Pan'Ku Box. It's some kind of Key to unlocking the cells that imprison them."
Jackie was horrified he still had nightmares about Shendu and what he was capable of. The thought of others like him was beyond frightening.
Black continued, "We've sent out warrants for Valmont's and his goon's arrest. If he or any of his thugs show themselves any where we'll know about it. But on the bright side, apparently Shendu can't touch the Box because of how it was made, so unlocking it will be a task for his goons, who we both know aren't that smart."
Both men chuckled at the attempt at humor. But were cut off as the alarms sounded.
Quickly rushing out of the room and into the control room, Black instantly began giving orders, "What's happened?"
"Sir, called a technician, were getting report of some kind of monster attacking Tokyo!"
Jackie and Black looked to each other, they had a good idea of what this monster was.
"Do we have a visual?" Black went back to barking orders.
"Sir, called another Tech. were receiving one, on screen!"
All went silent as the big screen flared to life. It portrayed an image of a giant green beast attacking a city. Well more like eating it. It was scooping up cars, raw concrete anything it could get its hands on.
The creature was dark green in color, and was about the size of a small building. It had small stubby legs and arms. Its teeth were visible as its lips didn't cover them, giving a ghastly grin. Its head was covered in something akin to hair done up into a bun, but appeared to be made of rock. Its entire body seemed to be made of rock.
Jackie and Black looked to another with grim looks of understanding. Looks like they were to late.
Shendu had released one of his siblings.
