I just wanna say I'm so sorry for being late. I had my hands full with shopping for birthdays and Father's day. Then I hit writers block when it came to doing this episode or doing my own original chapter. As you can tell, I finally decided to do the next episode first. Thank you for you're patients, and without further ado, it's time to answer some reviews (Guests without names given will be labeled from 1 and on).
Mr.B: That's fine man. You need to make the money to provide. I'll definitely look into your ideas for wardens, but the anodite can't be done. It was confirmed that Ben doesn't have anodite in the Omnitrix, because anodites don't have DNA. And even if they did, he's part anodite, so the Omnitrix wouldn't let him turn into one. Plus, I've already come up with the perfect alien to be the warden for Shendu.
Atom king: I'm glad you think it's awesome. Here's another hopefully awesome chapter.
Guest1: I'll look into pesky dust.
Guest2: Might be possible. Stay tuned for the J2 episode.
Aztec 13: Warden mode really is one of the best ideas I've had for this story. It makes Ben more involved in the hunt for the demon sorcerers. Azmuth's connection to all this will be revealed soon.
Now let's get on with the story. I don't own Ben 10 or Jackie Chan Adventures. If I did, the Ben 10 reboot would be way different, or it might've been replaced with a Ben Ten Thousand series.
Section 13, San Francisco
Jackie was squaring off with an opponent. They entered their stances. Jackie made the first move, but he was soon lifted over head by the man. Jackie screamed as his opponent threw him across the room. Jackie huffed as he sat up.
He got up and shakily walked towards the man.
"Uh... Nice work Mickey." complemented Jackie. "You're form needs work. Spar with... someone else while I confer with Captain Black." Jackie walked away from Mickey, holding his head. Jade walked up to the man, and both bowed in respect.
"Sorry if he went too hard on you Jackie." apologized Captain Black. "I want to thank you again for agreeing to help train the agents."
"Was I supposed to be a personal trainer or a punching bag?" asked Jackie. Suddenly, Jade screamed as the sounds of a fight reached his ears. Jackie turned to check on his niece. "JADE!" He saw Mickey on the ground a few feet from her.
"What?" asked Jade.
"Uh... Told Mickey to work on that form." Jade walked over to the two men as Mickey groaned.
"Why did you take this job anyway? You were a movie star for crying out loud?" Jackie kneeled down and put his hands on his niece's shoulders.
"I told you, I'm trying to do more to help Section 13 be prepared for Hex and his goons. Plus I left the movie business behind me. I bet not many people even remember me. Besides, with archaeology and agent work, I have no time to make movies." Jade huffed in response.
Hex's lair, Unknown Location
Ratso was fiddling with the Panku Box as Hex was directing the rest of the Enforcers to carry in a large wooden chest.
"Gently now boys." instructed Hex. "We don't want to break this ancient artifact." Valmont watched as his men carried the box in. He just didn't understand why Hex went to so much trouble to find the dang antique. He walked over to the sorcerer in question.
"If I may inquire my good man, why do we need this wooden box?" asked Valmont. Hex turned to him, eyes red as Shendu was in control.
"This place must be worthy to house a demon sorcerer." answered the dragon. "As such, it requires the right decorations." Hex took back control.
"I concur, but we must be careful mighty dragon." warned Hex. "This building houses many powerful magic relics, and I wouldn't want all of us to end up, let's say, lost in a void to where we cannot release your siblings." Hex walked up to a mirror, and the dragon's transparent head covered the head of Hex's reflection.
"You're concern is understandable. Maybe if we had the zombie clown carry it, then we wouldn't have a problem."
"Zombozo has an important task of finding powerful relics. Some of which, if used together, could return you to your physical form." The dragon hummed in delight.
"As interesting as being partners is, I'd enjoy getting to stretch my own legs for a change." Suddenly, a loud crash was heard. Hex turned to see the men resting against the sides of the chest. Shendu powered his way to the front, and they once again assumed the half and half face.
"That is a thousand year old relic from the Lian Dynasty!" shouted Shendu/Hex. Shendu took full control and turned to the mirror.
"AND WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT!"
"Well maybe if Gameboy over there was helping us we'd be getting somewhere." sighed Finn as he pointed to Ratso. Suddenly the Panku Box began to float in the air as it twisted it's parts around.
"Chow!" demanded Valmont. Chow quickly grabbed the camera and began to record the event. A piece of the box shifted up, revealing the green core. A green light shone from it, displaying a map of North America.
"Ah yes." proclaimed Shendu. "Directions to the door which contains Tchang Zu, the thunder demon."
"Hey!" shouted Fin. "Californ I A." Hak Fuu walked up to the map.
"The directions say to head south." said Hak Fuu. Ratso also walked up to the map.
"Which takes us too..." started Ratso as the map suddenly disappeared. The Panku box fell to the ground.
"Did you get it?" asked Valmont as he turned to Chow.
"Pretty much all of it, until we ran out of tape." answered Chow. Shendu was about to burn him alive, when a pebble landed on his shoulder.
"No need to be so drastic master." said Zombozo as he dropped from the ceiling. "The tape can be salvaged and the map back in our hands." Shendu pondered the information, then turned to his servant.
"You make a valid point mortal." said Shendu. Zombozo pulled out a red and gold coin with a square hole in the middle. The dragon possessed man pushed the clown's hand away. "I do not need currency." Shendu turned to walk away.
That's when Zombozo flipped over him, landing on his feet.
"This isn't currency Master. It's another relic. The Mantis Flip Coin allows the user to jump like a mantis at great heights. I had a hard time obtaining it. We aren't the only ones after the Shen Gong Wu."
Hex took over as he obtained the coin from the clown.
"It does not matter." reassured Hex. "They will not change the plan. This time, I must ask you to accompany me to the next demon portal." Zombozo bowed to Hex.
"Yes Master." Hex then turned to Hak Fuu.
"Hak Fuu, I must ask you to stay here and train in your earth magic. It is imperative that you learn to control your element." Hak Fuu nodded to Hex. The sorcerer made his way to the portals. Finn was getting riled up.
"Alright!" shouted Finn. "Swimming pools, movie stars. We're heading for..."
Uncle's Shop, San Francisco
"Hollywood?" asked Jackie over the phone. "I'm on my way Captain Black." Jackie hung up, then looked up to see Jade standing on the stair case.
"Can I come with you Jackie, please?" begged Jade.
"Jade, Hex and his goons are there. Probably searching for a demon portal."
"But Raphael de Capriccio is getting his foot prints in cement at the Chinese Theater this weekend." Jackie gave Jade a confused face.
"Whophael de Cawhocio?" Jade walked down a few steps.
"Tch. Hello! Raphael de Capriccio is only the biggest movie star in the history of... history!"
"HAH!" sounded Uncle, catching their attention. "I guess you have never heard of John Wayne." Tohru turned away from his dusting.
"Ah!" reminisced the large apprentice. "The Duke. Saddle up Pilgrim." Jackie and Jade were silent for a bit. The Jackie rubbed his chin as he got an idea.
"Well..." started Jackie, "I guess this is the one time you can come and not be in the way."
"YES!" shouted Jade. She pouted as the words set in. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
Hollywood, California
The Chan clan were riding in a cab on down the road. They had no idea where to begin their search, and they still had to meet up with Ben and the Plumbers. Jackie looked to Jade.
"Tohru will be you're chaperone, while I search for Hex and his men."
"Well the festivities aren't for another hour, so why don't we help you find the demon door?" asked Jade. Soon, both her and Tohru were dropped off near a wax museum. Jackie handed Jade a brochure from the window.
"Happy site seeing." The taxy took off for the intended destination. Jade and Tohru made their way to the wax museum, and began the tour. They soon found themselves in a Halloween area. They stopped in front of an odd representation of Frankenstein.
"AAHH!" screamed Tohru as he caught sight of the wax figure. Jade coughed, catching Tohru's attention. "Ehem. That is how they scream in the movies. Heh."
"Seriously T?" asked Jade. "Though I gotta admit they took an interesting route with this guy. I mean, see those lightning rods? They're literally coming out of his back. Other than that, he seems so life like."
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" shouted the figure as it raised it's arms. Jade screamed as she ran behind Tohru. Tohru prepared to fight it off, when it began laughing. Jade looked at it from behind her large friend, and noticed a certain emblem on it's waist. She frowned in anger.
"BEN!" The 'Frankenstein' held his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. He then pointed to the two.
"You should've seen you're faces! Priceless!" The alien continued to laugh. Jade walked right up to him and punched the Omnitrix, turning him back to Ben.
"Not funny Ben!" Ben then wiped his eye as he stopped laughing.
"It's called a prank Jade." said Ben. "It isn't supposed to be funny for you guys." He noticed Jade stomp out of the museum. He followed her out. "Come on Jade, lighten up."
Jade turned to him.
"Scaring me like that isn't funny." Ben threw his hands in the air.
"Fine I'm sorry. Better?" Jade crossed her arms and turned away. He tried to think of something. "I'll give you a ride on Wildmutt. You're always asking for one of those."
Jade contemplated for a bit.
"A two hour ride. No throwing me into any kind of pool, and no pranks?" Ben crossed his heart.
"Cross my heart and hope to smell like Stinkfly." Tohru came up behind them.
"Isn't the phrase..." started Tohru.
"Smelling like Stinkfly is a lot worst than that." Jade chuckled as she turned around with her hand stretched out.
"You drive a hard bargain." said Jade as Ben shook her hand. The two of them walked a bit as Tohru made his way to the gift shop.
"Do you have any pictures of John Wayne?" asked Tohru. The girl at the register handed him two pictures of the star. He looked over them as Jade and Ben continued to conversate.
"So which alien was that anyway?" asked Jade.
"Frankenstrike." answered Ben. Jade gave him a deadpanned look.
"Frankenstrike? How many monster aliens do you have?" Ben counted his fingers.
"Three actually. The other two are Wraps, as you know him, and I also have a werewolf one. Still trying to decide on a name for him."
"What's the werewolf do?"
"He gives off an ear-piercing howl that does serious damage." Jade's eyes widened, though not entirely at Ben's statement.
"Look!" Ben turned his attention to the Enforcers who were walking down the sidewalk. They seemed to be talking about something. Jade turned to the giftshop. "Tohru!"
Jade's whisper wasn't loud enough for Tohru to pay attention to as he was still looking over the two pictures of John Wayne. Jade growled and grabbed Ben's hand as she took off after the buffoons.
"Slow down Jade! You don't have to drag me. My legs work." Jade stopped as she recognized the situation. She blushed as she let go of his hand.
They then took off in pursuit of the Enforcers. They watched the group round the corner, and hid behind the wall. They peered over to see Ratso looking at a brochure.
"AW!" whined Ratso. "We're wandering anyway. I wanna see Chad Gable's old house." Finn took the brochure from Ratso and handed it back to the kid he borrowed it from.
"Frankly Ratso I don't give a darn, and who says we're wandering." said Finn as he pulled out a piece of paper and unfurled it. "We've got a map right here."
"Yeah." said Chow. "Half way between the pools of despair and the trail of treachery. Yep, real helpful." Ben was about to activate the Omnitrix, but Jade grabbed his arm and pulled out her phone. Back at the cab, Jackie answered a call.
"Yes?" asked Jackie.
"Jackie!" shouted Jade over the phone. "Hex's goons are right outside the wax museum." Jackie was flabbergasted to say the least.
"Jade!? How do you... ugh. Never mind. Do nothing until I get there."
"Ksh… Can't hear you. Ksh… Ksh… You're breaking ksh… up."
"Seriously Jade?" asked Ben as Jade hung up the phone.
"Gah! Jade! Ugh!" shouted Jackie in annoyance. "The wax museum, quickly!" Meanwhile, Tohru was still trying to choose a picture as Gwen walked up to him.
"Which one do you think Uncle will like best?" asked Tohru, expecting Jade to answer.
"The headshot." answered Gwen. "That way you can tell it's John Wayne."
"Ah. Thank you Gwen." Tohru then purchased the picture.
"Say, where are Jade and Ben?" Tohru suddenly turned around with the bag that held the picture in hand.
"Jade?" Meanwhile, the Enforcers were reading the map as they made their way down an alleyway.
"Look!" shouted a voice behind them. "The Three Stooges!" They all turned around as they tried to identify the aforementioned trio.
"WHERE!" shouted Ratso. Jade then swiped the map from Finn.
"Duh." She suddenly took off like lightning.
"Hey!" shouted all three goons at once. Jade rounded the corner, and saw Upgrade's pattern on a picture booth. She smirked as she leapt into the booth. The Enforcers stopped to look around. They turned to the booth when a flash went off.
Ratso opened the curtain to the booth.
"Heh. You must want this." nervously said Jade as she held the map to them. Finn took the map as Ratso grabbed Jade by her hood.
"Say cheese Princess." said Ratso. Suddenly, he was hoisted into the air by Tohru.
"Cheese Princess." said Tohru. Ratso dropped Jade, and she ran behind her large friend.
"Tohru." said Finn in surprise. Both he and Chow moved out of the way as Ratso was thrown into the photo booth.
"Maybe he wants to see some real stars." said Chow as he pulled out a nunchaku. The Enforcers surrounded the duo. They all waited for the right moment, but then a cab pulled over. Jackie got out of the car.
"Chan!" Gwen came from around the corner, hands coated in magic. "Lucky Girl!"
"Does this count as being surrounded?"
"Works for me." said Ratso as they took off running. Jackie kneeled down and put his hands on Jade's shoulder.
"Jade! Did they hurt you!?" asked Jackie.
"I'm fine." answered Jade. "Jackie, I..."
"What part of do nothing do you not understand!?"
"But Jackie I..."
"Watch her!" Jackie suddenly ran off. Jade voiced her disappointment as Upgrade came off the photo booth.
"Cheer up Jade." reassured Upgrade. "At least you got the pictures." Tohru was confused, until Upgrade held up the pictures of the map that Jade took. Jackie rounded a corner as he gave chase. He was suddenly stopped by a warrior in his path.
"I have been preparing for this moment." said the large red warrior. He then unsheathed his sword. "Prepare to meet you're doom." Jackie took a step back.
"I didn't know that Hex got a new goon." mumbled Jackie to himself as the warrior lifted his sword. He dodged multiple times as the warrior swung his sword at him. He soon found his back to a trash can. He caught the sword as the warrior swung down at him. He let go as he hopped back a few inches.
He then hopped over the warrior and sent him into the garbage can. Jade, Ben, and Gwen rounded the corner. Jade and Gwen were about to rush in, but Ben held them back. He had an excited look on his face, like he knew what was going on.
The world stopped for a moment as The warrior jumped into the air. It restarted as Jackie blocked every single aerial kick that came at him. He spun the warrior, but instead of falling to the ground, he hung in the air like he was tied up. Jackie was stunned, so he got went for a closer look. He felt the air until he slid up and down a slim object.
"Wire?" asked Jackie. He walked away for a moment, then a wall was pushed apart by two large men. A bell went off as a lift lowered itself to the ground.
"CUT!" shouted the man on the lift. He hopped off and walked over to Jackie. "Who the heck are you?"
"This is a movie set?" Jade and the others ran over quickly.
"Awesome!" proclaimed Jade. "Are you gonna put Jackie in you're movie?"
"Oh sure, right after I have him arrested!" He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder as a man in a white suit came from behind him.
"Nigel, Nigel!" said the man. "Calm down!" He then shook Jade's hand. "Larry Franklin, producer of Ninjas in the Hood. That was quite a display as..." He suddenly went silent. "No way."
"What?" asked Jackie. "Do I have something on my face?"
"Nigel you idiot! You just shouted at Jackie Chan! You know, from that movie with the karate grizzly. I'm so sorry about that Mr. Chan." Larry then shook Jackie's hand.
"Uh... it's okay."
"You still got an agent sir." Jackie voiced his embarrassment at the situation.
"That would be moi." said Jade as the producer bent down. He shook her hand again as he bought what she said.
"Bam Bam! This town is getting younger every day." Gwen walked over.
"You seriously believe her?" asked Gwen.
"Hush secretary." said Jade. Gwen growled as Ben laughed. Larry caught sight of Ben.
"So, and I know it's not my place to ask, but is junior over here you're boyfriend or something?" Both kids became cherries as they turned their glances away from them. Jade shook it off as she turned back to the producer.
"Look Lare, Jackie deserves to be back on top as the king of action movies, and you have the opportunity to be the first step to his return to the top." Jackie kneeled down to interrupt as the producer stood up.
"Jade." said Jackie.
"Right Jackie! Did I mention he does all his own stunts?"
"Who doesn't know that?" said Larry as he pulled out a card. "Give me a jingle. If Jackie wants back in, he's got the job." Jade took the card, but before she could say anymore, Jackie covered her mouth and carried her away.
"Say goodbye to the nice man Jade." said Jackie as he walked off. Once they were far away enough, he released Jade's mouth.
"Jackie, play your cards right and you'll be back on the big screen in no time!" proclaimed Jade as Jackie put her down.
"I don't want to get back into the movie business! I want to find the portal before Hex's men do!" Jade then reached into her hoodie pocket, and pulled out her picture from the booth.
"Oh that! It's in the bag." Jackie's eyes widened at the map in the picture.
"Jade! How do you do that?" Later, in their hotel room, Jackie and Jade were looking over a map. Jackie pointed to a spot on the map. "So if the pools of despair are the tar pits..."
"And the trail of treachery is the Gawwanga pass..." continued Tohru as he held his protractor.
"Then half way should be, here!" Jackie pointed at a point on the map. "Mega Galactic Studios!?"
"Wow!" exaggerated Jade from her spot on the arm of the couch and picked up a phone. "Talk about a cowinkadink. As long as we're going to be on the lot, why don't we do lunch with Lare?" Jackie then took the phone away from her.
"Because we had a big breakfast." Jade groaned at this. Gwen walked over from her studies as this was happening.
"Relax Jade." said Gwen. "Besides, you said you needed some help with studying." Jade was about to retort, but then Gwen winked at her. Jade smirked.
"Now I remember. Sorry there Gwen." Later, we find a white Limo riding up to the gates of the aforementioned studio. The driver, Ratso, stopped as a guard walked up to the vehicle.
"Pass." said the guard. Ratso smacked his face, but then Finn leaned over him.
"Hey!" shouted Finn. "You're talking to the star of Beach Bay Watch back there." The guard looked to the back window as it lowered, revealing the top half of Valmont's head. he happened to be wearing sunglasses, so when the guard looked to the picture of the movie behind him. He gasped and rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry. Go ahead." The gate lifted up and the limo continued forward. Jackie got out of the cab as he saw the driver.
"Hex?" whispered Jackie as he tried to run after them. The guard held him back.
"Pass." Jackie pushed the guards arm down.
"Yes, I would like to." The guard raised his arm again, making Jackie take a few steps back.
"Nah, can't let you on the lot without a pass." Jackie was speechless, so he had only one choice. Back at the hotel, the phone rang.
"Jade's talent and fine arts agency?" answered Jade.
"Jade, I can't get on to the lot." said Jackie over the phone. He then listened as Jade said something. "Yes I... Well Yes I... Okay I'll do it... Hello?"
The phone next to the guard went off.
"Mega Galactic Studios?" answered the guard.
"Hey simple wit, you see that man with the million dollar smile on his face?" The guard then turned to Jackie. "That's Jackie Chan, and he's ready to get back into the spotlight." The guard's eyes widened. "We have a meeting with, the, Larry Franklin, so I'll give you his number so you can tell him that we're going to sign a contract with another studio because, you, wouldn't let him onto the lot!"
The guard quickly got to work and put a pass together. He turned to see Jackie sitting on the sidewalk.
"Uh... Here's you're pass Mr. Chan. Sorry about the inconvenience. I'm a big fan of your work." Jackie walked over to him and grabbed his pass.
"How does she do that?" asked Jackie as he entered the lot. Back at the hotel, Jade felt an odd feeling run down her neck. She turned around and looked out the window. She slowly made her way over to it, and took a peak outside. She then heard a noise as she was the last person in the room
"Not funny Ben." said jade. "We agreed no more pranks until April Fools, and no scary ones." There was no answer. "Ben?" She then felt a familiar bump as she turned, thinking that Tohru was gonna ask if everything was alright.
She gasped as she saw Tohru stuck to the wall with silly string. She backed up, but then she heard a plop behind her. She slowly turned around to see Zombozo standing in front of her.
"Hello girlie." greeted the zombie clown. "I believe you have something that belongs to my master." He then extended his hand towards her. "The Third Arm Sash, if you'd please. I wouldn't wanna give the big guy nightmares."
Tohru growled as he tried to free himself from the ensnarement. jade slowly backed away from the creep.
"Ben!" Zombozo only drew closer.
"He can't here you child. No one can." He then laughed like a deranged maniac. Jade slid underneath him as she ran for the phone.
"Mantis Flip Coin!" shouted Zombozo as he flipped in her way. He displayed the coin as she skidded to a stop. "Since it's the end of the line, I'm gonna tell you what it is you've so rudely stolen. The sash, like this coin, is a powerful relic known as a Shen Gong Wu. My master requires me to retrieve the one in your possession, so if you could kindly hand it over."
Jade made a break for the door, but the clown was in her way again. He laughed as he reached out to grab her. A blue blast of magic hit him in the back of the head. He turned his head 180 to find Gwen holding a blowfish.
"I didn't order room service sidekick." Gwen smiled as she used Uncle's chant. Zombozo jumped at her, but he was suddenly flung out of the building by a green magic blast. Jade looked at Gwen as the red head blew green smoke away from the fish's mouth.
"what did you do?" asked Jade as she caught her breath.
"I used a spell to banish him from this part of town and make sure he wouldn't find us." answered Gwen. "Now help me put together a spell to get Tohru down." Jade smiled as she grabbed some ingredients. Meanwhile, back at the studio, the Enforcers were making their way through the studio. They moved back and forth for a bit before coming to a stop.
"You getting anything?" asked Finn.
"Nothing." answered Chow. Suddenly, Ratso and Finn were covered by some ghost costumes as Jackie jumped out from behind them. He took the box from Chow as the man fell to the ground.
"Sorry-can't-bring-this-back-thank-you!" shouted Jackie as he ran. Finn and a Ratso threw off the costumes.
"Chan!" shouted Ratso.
"Get 'm!" shouted Chow as he pointed in the direction Jackie ran. Jackie soon came to a cross way. He hopped onto a rack attached to a golf cart as it drove by. The Enforcers ran the opposite direction. Jackie hopped off when he was far away enough.
He looked around, only to spot Valmont making his way towards him. He turned to run, but he was soon met with Hex being controlled by Shendu. He jumped just as the two enemies went to grab him. He then began to climb the back of a set piece. As all this was going on, Larry was answering a call.
"Yes?" answered Larry. He listened intently. "Oh, good. Put her through. Jade! How're you doing?"
Jackie reached the top of the structure as Larry was checking his schedule. The man gasped as he saw Jackie. He waved, but wobbled as the structure began to fail. Down bellow, two of Hex's golems we're attacking the legs of the fake building. Valmont chuckled.
"What comes up..." said Valmont as the structure began to fall over. Jackie jumped off the structure and grabbed onto the pole. He swung around the pole before being flung into a nearby sky roof.
"Wow!" gasped Larry over the phone. "They weren't kidding when they say he does his own stunts." Jade took this as an opportunity.
"Was there ever a doubt?" asked Jade. "So, we good for lunch tomorrow?"
"You bet. See ya there." Larry hung up the phone right then and there. Jade put the phone down and hopped to her feet.
"Yes!" shouted Jade as Tohru and Gwen walked over. "Jackie has a meeting!" She suddenly broke out into a victory dance.
"We're going to be late for the foot print ceremony." informed Tohru as he pulled some silly string off his arm. Jade stopped celebrating to stare at her friends.
"Raphael! Right!" Gwen grabbed her cheeks.
"Ah!" sighed Gwen. "Raphael de Capriccio. Such a dreamy actor." Ben groaned from his spot on the couch.
"That Raphael has nothing on your Uncle." argued Ben. "He may not be dreamy as you say, but at least he does his own stunts and sticks true to himself." Both girls blew raspberries at him. "Whatever." Ben hopped off the couch and waited by the door.
Gwen's face flashed with a smile.
"I think someone's jealous of a certain actor." Jade looked at Gwen in confusion.
"What's he jealous about?" asked Jade. Gwen held her finger in the air.
"What guy have you been talking about this whole time? Who do you keep saying is the best actor in the whole wide world?" Jade's face went red. "Yep, he likes you back." Jade looked away.
"That's just ridiculous." Jade then began to walk to the door. "Let's get to the ceremony all ready." Back at the studio, Jackie was laying down face first into a couch. The Panku box in hand.
He quickly shot up, only to be faced by the Enforcers. Valmont and Hex walked in from another entrance.
"Chan." said Shendu as the men drew closer. Jackie flipped a table nearby into the Enforcers as they jumped him. He then hopped up and ran as Hex and Valmont gave pursuit. Valmont used his new shadow magic to appear in front of Jackie. He constructed a rod of Shadow as Jackie came to a stop.
Jackie blocked attacks from both Shendu and Valmont. He threw Valmont to the side as he turned to find Hex in mid air. He raised his arms and blocked several kicks from the possessed man.
"How come everyone can do that?" asked Jackie as Shendu kicked him into a nearby door. As he started to get up, the Panku box glowed. It levitated in the air.
"The demon portal." said Shendu as the rest of Hex's men showed up behind him. Jackie tried to catch the box as it flew up to the top of the door. The key slot for the portal appeared as the Panku box slid into the door. The back opened up as it unleashed the portal.
Jackie was blasted back by the force of the portal opening. Ratso and Chow lifted him up and held him by the arms. A foot came out the portal, and two hands pulled the portal apart so that the body of the demon could walk through. The thunder demon stood before them as the portal closed. Shendu took over Hex's body as he walked towards his sibling.
"Ah! Welcome back Tchang Zu..." started Shendu.
"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG BROTHER?" interrupted the thunder demon in annoyance. Shendu gestured to Jackie.
"Just the usual interference from Jackie Chan."
"THEN HE WILL NO LONGER INTERFERE." Tchang Zu suddenly creates a ball of lightning as the Dark Hand stepped away from Jackie. He then threw the ball at the aforementioned man. Jackie quickly dodged as the attack blasted a large hole in a stack of concrete. Jackie dodged multiple blasts until he found himself atop a metal rack.
He jumped down as another blast was shot at him, and he ended up landing in a monster costume. He ran and put on the head of the costume as he dodged another blast. He jumped as a blast seemed to hit him. A hole in the wall and a pile of rubble is all one could see.
"As the thunder claps, so do I applaud your skill brother." said Shendu. Tchang Zu got up in his face.
"SHENDU, YOU MAY CALL ME MASTER." He walked off as Shendu growled.
"Of course, Master." Shendu followed after him.
"Ooh. Burn." said Finn as the Enforcers also followed. They entered a van, but then Tchang Zu ripped off the roof of the vehicle. He hopped in behind them.
"TAKE ME TO MY PALACE." ordered the thunder demon. As they drove off, they missed the movement coming from the pile of rubble. Jackie clawed his way out of the rubble, having survived the attack. He took off the head of the costume, revealing his hair, which stuck out in multiple directions. He sighed.
"Rubber really is a good conductor." said Jackie as he sat for a moment. Back with Jade and the others, they were awaiting the big ceremony at the old Chinese Theater. Jade and Gwen were fighting over who would get to sit on Tohru's shoulders to get a birds eye view, Tohru was standing there uncomfortably, and Ben was just waiting for them to make up their mind. It's not like he wanted to be there. He didn't care if Gwen swooned over the movie star.
So why was he there at all? The guy was nothing but a big loser. He should know, he met the jerk a few summers ago. That guy wasn't worth the concrete he was going to step in. So why was he jealous of the guy?
"He's the reason I came!" argued Jade. Ben flinched at those words. "This is a once in a life time moment for me. I might not get another chance to see him." Gwen placed her hands on her hips.
"Dream on!" shouted Gwen. "You don't know how long I've waited to see him. He's the biggest star in history."
"More like biggest fraud." mumbled Ben. Tohru tapped on his shoulder a few times. Ben turned to see Jade and Gwen looking at him like he was crazy. "What? It's true."
"How would you know dweeb? You haven't even seen any of his movies." Ben smirked.
"Don't need to see the movies when you meet the guy in person." The girls gawked at him.
"When did that happen?"
"Massachusetts, last year. You should've seen the guy. He was the definition of jerk." Gwen looked at him in disbelief. She just huffed as she turned away from him.
"Liar." Ben glanced over too Jade. She wasn't even paying attention. Did he say something wrong? He looked off in the direction she was staring.
In the theater was a strange long staff. It was just sitting there, in a glass container. It should just be seen as a regular old staff. Yet for some reason, that just didn't sit with Jade. She made her way over to the staff.
She stopped just short of the containment glass. She turned to Tohru.
"Is there any information in Uncle's books like this?" asked Jade. Tohru examined the staff for a moment, then shook his head.
"I do not believe I've seen anything like this." answered Tohru. Gwen gasped.
"But I have." said Gwen as she pulled out a book. Tohru's eyebrow raised.
"Where did you get that book?"
"Uncle and I agreed to an exchange of knowledge." She flipped through the pages of the book, until she came across what she was looking for. She showed the pages to the group. "The Monkey Spear. A powerful relic said to give the user the features and abilities of.. well a monkey, along with being able to summon spirit monkeys."
Jade touched the glass, but a thin rod smacked her hand.
"No touching the merchandise." said a snotty rich man. "I must have my prize pristine for when I win it in the contest." Jade frowned.
"What contest?" asked Jade.
"Like I'd tell you how to win my prize." Tohru walked over.
"It's just an exchange of information." said Tohru. "There's no guarantee if we enter we'd win." The man contemplated those words.
"Fine. There's an exotic animals race. Only those with legal exotic pets can enter. The one who's victorious gets the whole pot, and I finally convinced that old coot to throw in this relic." Jade pondered over his words, then smirked.
"How long does the race last?" asked Jade.
"It's a thirty minute race, but seeing you're terrible taste in clothing, I'd be surprised if you even owned a goldfish." Tohru cracked his neck. "Now if you must excuse me, I have to get Zozo ready for the big race." The old man walked over to his stall, which held a live Zebra. Jade turned to her friends.
"Well I guess we don't have a way to enter the race, and no stealing Ben." said Gwen.
"I only did that with the cereal boxes years ago!" argued Ben. "Plus any time after was to stop some crook from terrorizing the world. Are you not happy that I took away Dr. Animo's favorite toys?" Jade coughed, catching their attention.
"Ben, how long do you're forms hold if you're not fighting?" asked Jade.
"45 minutes." Gwen rubbed her temples.
"You could hold the forms for longer if you didn't slam the watch." groaned Gwen. "Azmuth said that you could go hero for around two hours if you would just gently press down the watch." Ben was about to argue back, when Jade grabbed the arm with the Omnitrix. She began to fiddle with it.
"What the heck do you think you're doing?" Jade ignored him as she found the image for Wildmutt. She then gently pressed down on the core. In a flash of light, Wildmutt took Ben's place. The orange canine like alien growled at Jade.
Jade ran over to a booth that carried saddles.
"I-just-payed-for-this-thank-you!" shouted Jade. The clerk was about to yell at her, but he saw the proper amount for the purchase on the counter. He just shook his head and smiled as he grabbed the payment. Wildmutt reluctantly stood still as Jade harnessed the saddle. He was about to try to shake it off. but he felt strangely happy as Jade patted his head.
"Good boy Benjamin." said Jade as she leaned in closer. "I'm making good on our deal." Wildmutt just sighed as Jade hopped on. She whipped the harness, and Wildmutt made his way to the registry. The man at registry gasped in shock.
"What on earth is that?" asked the man. Jade held the rope of the tassel close to her.
"This is my Himalayan Mount Wolf, Benjamin. I'm not surprised you haven't seen one before, since it is extremely rare for one to find one, let alone train it." The man looked over Wildmutt. He then returned to his post.
"Either 100 dollars or a rare and valuable object for the pot." Jade smirked as she pulled out... Jackie's credit card?
"Do you take VISA?" Back with Hex and his men, they were on their way to the place that Tchang Zu had built his palace. They drove for a while, scaring people who passed by. They were nearing the location. Valmont turned back to the thunder demon.
"Let me warn you that the landscape has changed greatly since you're day, and I wouldn't be surprised if some things were a bit..." started Valmont.
"MY PALLACE!" roared Tchang Zu. Ratso stopped the bus as they came upon a multistory parking lot. "THE MORTALS DARE TEAR DOWN MY PALLACE TO BUILD THIS... THIS..."
"Uh... parking lot." said Ratso trying to finish the demon's sentence. Tchang Zu roared in furry. Jackie, hearing this cry of anger, quickened his pace as he dialed Uncle.
"Pick up, pick up." said Jackie as the phone rang.
"Is this room service?" asked Uncle over the phone.
"Uncle it's me, Jackie. Hex has unleashed the thunder demon."
"Tchang Zu!? I will prepare the spell and make my way there immediately. One more thing, Captain Black called about a large purchase made with you're bank account. What did you buy for a hundred dollars that was so important?" Jackie's eyes widened.
"I gave Tohru the card to make sure that Jade didn't buy anything too expensive."
"Hm... Will ask him when I meet him at the Chinese Theater. Goodbye." Uncle hung up the phone. Jackie groaned at the hundred dollar purchase. He just hoped that whatever it was better be important.
Back with the mentioned group, Jade was sitting on Wildmutt's back as she waited for the race to start. It was an exotic pet race for a reason. There were ostriches, zebras, and Wildmutt seemed to be the most exotic of them all. The other racers had mixed reactions. Some saw Wildmutt as an abomination, while others were more intrigued by this reason addition.
"Why would they let such an ugly mutt join this race?" asked the snotty rich man from earlier. "It should be disqualified immediately." Wildmutt growled, but Jade patted his head as she smirked.
"I guess you're just too afraid to lose against a little girl." retorted Jade. Wildmutt snickered as the rich man readied himself. A man with a flare readied himself. He pointed the gun in the air. Time seemed to slow as the man began to pull the trigger.
BANG! The race had begun. The animals took off running. The rich man laughed as his zebra took the lead. He turned back to see the other contestants falling behind.
"That dusty old scepter is as good as ours Zuzu." said the man as he patted his mount. "Just imagine the profits we'll make from selling that worthless piece of trash people call history."
"If that's all you want it for, quit now." said a voice from behind him. He turned to see Jade coming right up on him. Wildmutt moved his legs faster and faster, taking longer strides. He soon was neck and neck with the zebra. He suddenly gasped as his gills caught the scent of the creature.
They stayed neck and neck as the clock counted down. Gwen and Tohru cheered them on. They waved as the two passed them by. Gwen trued to catch up with them, but they were too fast. She huffed as Tohru approached her.
Tohru yelped as two fingers smacked him in the head. He turned to see Uncle with an angry look on his face.
"JADE IS IN A RACE FOR GAMBLING!" shouted Uncle. "YOU HAVE CORRUPTED MY NEICE!" Gwen stepped in the way of the old man.
"Well we couldn't just steal the Monkey Spear." said Gwen. She soon received the same attack.
"I will not be lectured by a little girl about... huh?" Gwen then pointed to the staff in the display case. "AIYAHH! What is a Shen Gong Wu doing in a glass case?"
"Apparently being used as a prize." Uncle groaned as he walked up to the registry. Meanwhile, Jade and Wildmutt were approaching the finfish line. They were about to pull ahead of the rich man, but Ben stayed right beside him. Jade whipped the harness.
"I know you can go faster than that Ben." encouraged Jade. Wildmutt made some grunts as he tilted his head towards Jade. She wanted to try some more, but she had a gut feeling that he was trying to tell her something. She noticed a puddle in the road, but Wildmutt wasn't trying to avoid it. She looked over at the zebra, then smirked.
"I guess you're mongrel is just not fast enough to keep up with my Zuzu." said the rich man. "You might want to sell him and get a pony." He noticed that his insult went unnoticed. He was suddenly splashed in the face as Wildmutt slammed his paw into the water. "AAHK! You ruined my suit!"
The crowd gasped, both by what just happened, and what was happening at that moment. Uncle was shouting at the registry man.
"I must know who stole that relic!" shouted Uncle as Tohru tried to hold him back. Emphasis on 'try.'
"I'm not inclined to reveal the donors of the rewards for the race." said the man.
"You want apiece of Uncle!?" They suddenly heard a snap as the finish line was just crossed. They didn't hear an announcement, but they did hear the rich man celebrating. They gasped as they saw the rich man and his mount. He was doing the sprinkler as he made his way to the podium.
"I have won the race again!" shouted the rich man over the microphone. The crowd booed at him. "Oh! You're just jealous that I won fair and..."
"You are hereby disqualified from the competition." said the announcer. The rich man glared at the official.
"What did I do to get disqualified. I won fair and square on my beautiful, exotic..."
"Stallion." finished Jade. The rich man turned to see the paint coming off the fur of his 'zebra.' He gasped as two men escorted him off the stage.
"You can't do this to me! I am the richest man in the city! I have a right to all things of value!" He continued his rant as he was carried away from the area. Jade laughed as Wildmutt licked her face a few times.
"That's enough Ben." said Jade. Suddenly, Wildmutt's face turned red as he turned away from his 'owner.' Jade didn't have time to process it, as she was called up to the stage. She stood there, nervous as all the people stared at her. The official tapped the mic a few times.
"With that riffraff out of the way, here is the true winner of the Exotic Breed Cup." said the official as he presented a trophy to Jade. "Madame Jade Chan!" The crowd cheered as Jade held the trophy high. She then made her way down the steps as she went for the... She gasped as Zombozo began to reach for the staff.
"Hold my trophy." said Jade as she passed the trophy to Gwen. The girl in question gasped as she recognized the zombie clown.
"Ben!" shouted Gwen. Ben quickly made his way through the crowd as he tried to intercept the evil circus freak. Jade jumped as she tried to reach the staff before the villain. Both she and Zombozo began to pull at the staff. The staff began to glow as they stopped struggling.
"Huh!" gasped Jade. Uncle gasped at the situation.
"In all my years, I never thought I'd see one in person." said Uncle. Tohru turned to his teacher.
"What is happening sensei?" asked Tohru.
"A Xiaolin Showdown." Zombozo smirked as he knew just what to do.
"I challenge you to a Xiaolin showdown little missy." said the creep.
"A what?" asked Jade.
"Jade!" shouted Uncle. "A Xiaolin showdown is an ancient right were to people bet their Shen Gong Wu in a trial where the winner gets the Wu they tugged for, and the opponent's Wu." Zombozo held up his hand.
"I wager my Mantis Flipping Coin." Jade smirked as she lifted her hoodie, revealing a familiar blue cloth.
"In that case, I wager my Third Arm Sash." Uncle gasped once again.
"Where did you..." started Uncle.
"Back in Tokyo during the mountain demon thing." Jade waited for something to happen, but nothing did. She turned to Uncle. "What now?"
"You must select a trial. You are the challenged!" Jade thought long and hard about what to do. A thought hit her head.
"I challenge you to a game of Pacman!" shouted Jade. "The first one to finish their maze wins. Get caught by ghosts three times, and you lose." Zombozo just laughed.
"Just repeat after me kid, and let the fun begin!" Jade was confused, but she wasn't one to back down.
"LET'S GO, XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN! GONG YI TEMPAI!" shouted both of them. Suddenly, the staff floated into the air, and the world around them began to change. The ground rose up and encased them each in a maze of their own. Jade found herself in a ninja outfit as the Third Arm Sash wrapped itself around her once more.
The gang were up in the air, sitting on make shift bleachers on a floating island. The Omnitrix flashed as Ben turned back to normal.
"What the heck is going on?" asked Ben.
"Jade has underestimated what I meant by trial." responded Uncle. "She has begun a hard life-size game of that weird thing she plays at arcade." Ben looked down at the mazes. His eyes widened as he saw Jade and Zombozo in the spots Pacman stood.
"If they're Pacman, then what are the ghosts?" His question was answered as four ghost monkeys colored specifically to match the Pacman ghosts appeared in the large chamber. "Oh... Never mind." Jade gulped as she looked around the area.
"JADE!" Jade turned her attention to her Uncle above. "You are allowed to use the Shen Gong Wu that you have chosen as you're wager." Jade gave Uncle a thumbs up as she readied to take the challenge. The Pacman theme rung through the air like a symphony.
"What?" asked Zombozo as large white orbs appeared on the map. Jade, being a regular player of Pacman, began her run as she started collecting pellets. Her score began to rise, which was Zombozo's hint to get a move on. Jade tried to get as many pellets off the bottom as she could, because she knew she didn't have a lot of time before the ghosts were released. Speaking of, a counter began to count down, and only the audience could see.
"What is that?" asked Tohru. Ben gulped.
"Count down to ghost time." answered Gwen. The counter reached three as Jade completed half of the bottom. At two, Zombozo began to catch up. At one Jade and the zombie clown were neck and neck. 0, The doors to the cell opened, and the ghosts came out to play.
Jade ran forward as a large white pellet appeared in front of her. She could only guess what that meant. She turned around as a giant blue ghost monkey slowly made it's way towards her. She backed up a bit, then remembered a crucial part to the game. She ran for the power pellet, but the giant monkey was close behind.
"Third Arm Sash!" shouted Jade as the arm extended and tapped the pellet. It disappeared as Jade surged with energy. She became encased in a pink energy sphere. The ghost monkey disappeared as it touched her barrier. Only it's eyes floated in their place.
Jade smiled as she continued down the path. The eyes blinked before returning to the chamber. Zombozo also got the power pellet, but his barrier was black. He noticed that he was lagging behind, so he pulled out his Wu.
"Mantis Flip Coin!" shouted Zombozo as he jumped over the wall, taking out the orange ghost monkey. He hopped again, but this time landed on the wall. He suddenly burst into code. Ben gasped at the occurrence.
"What the heck just happened to him?" asked Ben.
"The maze must consider the top of it's walls like touching a ghost, whether you have a barrier or not." answered Uncle. "Zombozo has just lost a life." A symbol of the Mantis Flip Coin Disappeared, leaving only one remaining. Zombozo was returned to his spawn, and he roared in anger. He once again activated his Wu as he hopped from hall to hall.
Meanwhile, Jade had taken out three of the ghost monkeys as she completed the bottom half of the maze. She noticed that her barrier was blinking. That could only mean time for the boost was running out. She quickly tried to reach the next power pellet, but the pink ghost monkey stood in her path. Her barrier vanished as the ghost monkey nabbed her.
She burst into code upon contact.
"NO!" shouted Ben and Gwen. They both received hard smacks on the head from Uncle.
"Jade is not dead. Look." Uncle then pointed to the start point as Jade reconfigured. Both cousins sighed as they tried to catch their breath. Jade groaned as she bolted for the pellet.
Zombozo finished the bottom of his map, and made his way to the top half. His barrier blinked, but he didn't mind it as he charged towards a ghost monkey. They were soon going to impact. Suddenly, Zombozo hopped over the monkey, sure that he would make it to the pellet. He was suddenly caught without his barrier as the monkey clapped overhead.
Ben cheered as Zombozo blew apart into code.
"SHE WON!"shouted Ben. He got another smack from Uncle.
"Jade said three lives! The symbols are just indicators to tell when you are on last life!" Ben groaned as Zombozo reformed. The Zombie clown went full berserk as he hopped from hall to hall like a monster, avoiding the ghosts at every turn. Jade made her way across the top half, almost finished with the left sector.
She grabbed the pellet in front of her, but the orange ghost monkey hopped in her path. She blocked its fist with the Third Arm Sash, but her eyes widened as she was knocked into the top of the wall. She burst into code. The last sash symbol disappeared, indicating that Jade was on her last life. Jade reformed back at the start, but her face wasn't filled with fear or anger.
It was filled with belief. She ran through the maze. She instantly came across the blue ghost monkey, and ran straight at it.
"She's gonna lose!" shouted Jade. They tried to get her to turn around, but she wasn't stopping. The ghost monkey drew closer, but stopped as Jade bounced off the wall.
"Third Arm Sash!" shouted Jade as the cloth slammed against the top of the wall. Her friends cried out in fear, but were shocked when Jade didn't blow apart. She was catapulted into the air, and as she came back down, she propelled herself behind the specter by smashing it's head with her Wu. The ghost monkey landed on its rear end as it was stunned. Jade landed on her feat and began to collect the last pellets.
It was neck in neck. Both needed three more pellets to win. Zombozo's pellets were scattered across the last part of the maze, while Jades were in a straight line. Jade saw the ghost monkey begin to round the corner, so she tried her trick one last time. She sailed right past the beast as she reached for the pellet.
Before she could grab it, however, it deactivated and disappeared. Jade felt the shock hit her all at once. Had she failed? Did the crazy circus freak won? She let all these questions fill her mind, until she heard two simple words.
"HE'S OUT!" shouted Ben as Zombozo's maze had the words "Game Over!" crashed on top of it. The whole group celebrated as the world turned back to normal. Every detail went back into place, even the glass container that once held the Monkey Staff. Jade floated down, carrying all three Wu with her. The others surrounded her as they cheered.
Zombozo slipped away into the night vowing his revenge. Jade was hoisted onto Tohru's shoulders as Uncle took the Wu. Jade was about to argue, when she noticed some lights by the Chinese Theater. She gasped as she noticed the time.
"We're gonna be late for the cement ceremony!" shouted Jade and Gwen inn unaccent. They were about to rush to the scene, when a certain demon sorcerer began to crash the party.
"LEAVE NOW MORTALS!" shouted Tchang Zu. He shot beams of lightning into the air, trying to scare off the bystanders. The crowd only cheered at the light show. He turned to Hex. "WHY ARE THEY NOT RUNNING IN FEAR?"
"They believe you are putting on an act for entertainment purposes." answered the sorcerer. Jade made her way through the crowd as she and the group approached some officers.
"Who's in charge here?" asked Jade in false anger. "We requested that crowds be at least sixty feet away from the set." One officer looked down at her.
"What the heck are you talking about little missy?" asked the officer.
"How are we supposed to shoot this movie with all these people around? Do you know how much that animatronic suit cost?" The officer looked over at the demon as he tore apart the over head structure. He then turned back to Jade.
"Film? We were told this was a foot print ceremony. Alright boys let's go. Crowd control." The officers walked off to get to work. "Man, these agents are getting younger every year."
Jade turned to Uncle.
"What do you need to cast the spell?"
"I have most of the ingredients, but I still need castanets to complete the spell." answered Uncle. Jade contemplated on what to do. That's when Gwen took off from the group. "Where do you think you're going?"
"I have some castanets in my bag back at the hotel. Just stall until I get back." answered Gwen as she continued her trek. Ben looked to the side to see that the Enforcers were listening to the entire conversation.
"I'm gonna stall those bozos." said Ben as he activated the Omnitrix. Four arms stood in his place. He then charged into battle. Later, police had managed to get everyone to a safe distance. Jade was at the moment talking to Raphael de Capriccio.
Ben had one of the Enforcers in a headlock as he took a glance over to the group.
"So Raph, here's all you gotta do." said Jade as she started a list. "When Jackie Chan comes running in..."
"Jackie who?" asked Raphael as he had his arms on his hips. Jade sighed as she raised her sleeve.
"Will you sign my arm?" Gwen came up beside her with a picture of him.
"NO!" shouted Gwen. "Sign this picture!" Raphael had his pen out, but he turned around.
"I'm calling my manager!" growled Raphael as he walked off. Jade's eyes lowered.
"Seems like he's not so dreamy anymore." said Tohru. Jade nodded her head. Gwen wasn't so convinced.
"He'll be back when he's sees all this in tomorrow's paper." said Gwen as she took Jade's phone and called Larry. "Hey Larry. Jade's secretary. If you wanna see Jackie in action, come to the Chinese Theater." Jade snagged her phone back from Gwen as she hung up.
"MY CAR!" shouted Raphael as Ratso was thrown into his blue sports car. Fourarms chuckled.
"It was either that or you!" shouted Fourarms. "Be happy I missed!" Raphael then ran away screaming as Fourarms was tackled by Finn. The cab arrived as Jackie rushed to the group.
"Where's the demon?" asked Jackie.
"Inside!" answered Jade. Jackie then turned to Uncle.
"Do you have the spell Uncle?"
"I cannot prepare the spell." answered Uncle. Jackie's eyes widened in shock.
"WHY!?"
"I cannot make the spell without the castanets, and the little red haired Tennyson ran off to get hers from the hotel."
"Well at least that's..."
"One more thing, Jade has saved a very powerful relic from the forces of darkness. The Shen Gong Wu known as the Monkey Spear." Jackie sighed as she rubbed his temples.
"So she bought them with my money."
"She won it in a race, and won the Mantis Flip coin in a Xiaolin Showdown." Jackie turned to Jade in anger.
"YOU GAMBLED!" Jackie screamed as he moved out of the way of a flying Finn.
"Can you scold her some other time and just go after the demon!?" asked Fourarms as he punched Chow in the gut with both his left arms. Jackie groaned and went to stop the demon. He soon found himself standing in cement.
"Jackie!" cried Jade. Jackie fell on his hands and knees at his niece's cry.
"Stay here Jade." Jackie took off inside the theater as Jade watched on. He soon found him self in the auditorium, where Hex and Tchang Zu stood center stage.
"I WILL BURN THIS CITY TO THE GROUND FOR WHAT THOSE MORTALS DID TO ME!" shouted Tchang Zu.
"It will be a sight to behold oh powerful thunder demon." complemented Hex. "May the ashes of this civilization be scattered to the wind as your empire rises." Tchang Zu got up in Hex's face.
"YOU ARE MORE TOLERABLE THEN MY SIBLING." Jackie tried to sneak into the auditorium, but he was caught by Valmont.
"So nice of you to join us Chan." greeted Valmont. Jackie turned around to face the man, but he had already been discovered.
"YOU!" shouted Tchang Zu. "I WILL PROVE THAT LIGHTNING DOES INDEED STRIKE TWICE!" He then shot a beam of electricity at Jackie. Jackie hopped up and held on to a curtain as the beam destroyed the stands, sending Valmont plummeting to the ground. Back outside, Jade was signing Jackie's name into the concrete he accidentally landed in.
"When life gives you lemons..." started Jade before she was interrupted. A red sports car came up. Larry came out of the car and walked towards her. "LARE! You're here just in time. The show just started!"
"What show?" asked Larry as Finn went flying overhead. He watched as Diamondhead was combating the Enforcers. "What the heck is that!?"
"Shapeshifting costar who kicks major but."
"JADE!" shouted Gwen as she ran over to her, carrying the castanets. "Where's Uncle?" Jade pointed to the old man in question and his apprentice.
"Who are they?" asked Larry.
"Magic powered costars who are a huge help to the hero." answered Jade. They suddenly heard Jackie scream as he jumped out the window and narrowly escaped a giant blast. Tchang Zu gave chase as Jackie continued to run.
"State of the art? You guys take this thing seriously." The thunder demon shot another blast, hitting the kiosk Jackie was hiding behind. Hex came out from behind him.
"Forget Chan!" shouted Shendu as he pointed to Uncle. "If the old man finishes the chi spell, you will be cast back into Limbo!" Hex turned to the Enforcers, who were just coming back from a beating. "What have you buffoons been doing!?"
"You didn't have to fight the walking diamond mine" said Finn as he pointed to Diamondhead, who was twirling Chow above him. He then threw Chow into a tree, and the Enforcer went unconscious. Hex growled as he summoned his golems. Two of them approached Diamondhead, but then they were turned to rubble by a green magic blast. All eyes turned to Gwen, who had a blowfish in one hand and a blue magic coating on the other.
"Most intriguing." said Hex as he admired the concept. Tchang Zu roared as he sent a lightning blast at Uncle. Jackie was able to get him out of the way, but the attack hit Larry's car. The producer gasped in sadness.
"Uh... BAM?" said Jade as she felt embarrassed. The thunder demon approached as Uncle finished the spell.
"JADE!" shouted Uncle. "Play the castanets."
"He's also our music director." Jade then began to play the instruments. Diamondhead turned into Feedback as he stood in the way of the demon.
"CHOOSING THAT FORM WILL NOT SAVE YOU SHIFTER." said Tchang Zu as he shot a lightning blast at Feedback. He held out his hands and began to absorb the attack.
"But it will help me keep you busy." argued Feedback as he returned the attack, causing a beam struggle. Jade pointed the castanets at the demon, sending a chi spell at him. The spell flew at him, but then it made a 180 degree turn and hit the Omnitrix. "What the..." The Omnitrix blinked green.
"Stimulation 976 detected. Initiating warden mode protocol." sounded the Omnitrix. In a green flash, Feedback was replaced with a small battery shaped alien. Instead of tendrils on his head, he had two tails, each having the different ends of a jumper cable. Ben looked down at himself.
"Megawatt is you're warden?" asked the little alien. "What are the odds." Tchang Zu laughed as he caught sight of the little battery alien.
"HOW CAN SOMETHING SO SMALL DEFEAT ME, A DEMON SORCERER?" Megawatt grabbed his tails, and played the ends like castanets.
"I think I got an idea." The demon roared as he ran at Megawatt. He wrapped his arms around the alien, but when he moved his arms, he saw that it was no where in sight. "Can't catch what can literally move through all forms of electrical currents." The demon turned and shot another blast at the alien.
Megawatt smirked as he swam through the attack, inching closer and closer to Tchang Zu.
"HOW CAN THIS BE!?" The alien hopped out of the blast as he played his tails once again. They glowed green as he pointed them at him.
"Just like swimming." With those words, Megawatt shot a green chi blast at the demon, sending him back to the portal. "I can guess what comes next."
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!" shouted Megawatt and Tchang Zu as the alien insulted the demon.
"Jinx." The demon flew across the city, until he was once again locked away in his prison. Shendu, seeing the failure of the mission, teleported him and his goons away from the area.
"OLEY!" shouted Jade as she played the castanets one more time. She then turned to Larry. "So Lare, I was thinking of a buddy feature. Chan and de Capriccio. Capriccio and Chan." The hood of his broken car popped open as smoke rolled out of the engine. Larry gave Jade an angry look.
"There is no picture, and Jackie Chan will never do lunch in this town." growled Larry. "EVER AGAIN!" He then walked off in anger. Ben was gonna turn into Fourarms and crush the car the rest of the way, but as soon as he turned back he fell over again. Tohru picked up the poor youth and let him ride upon his shoulders.
"I think I'm starting to become immune to the knock back." said Ben before he passed out. Jackie kneeled down next to Jade.
"Larry didn't say anything about dinner." informed Jackie. "Come on. My treat." Gwen then walked up to the pair.
"I saw a Mexican restaurant nearby as I ran to get my castanets." said Gwen as Jackie stood up.
"In Chinatown?" Uncle readjusted his glasses.
"Hollywood is a mysterious place." said Uncle. The group then made way to the strangely placed Mexican restaurant.
"So you didn't get the movie deal." said Jade. "Jackie Chan has definitely left his mark on Hollywood once again." The view zooms over to the signed piece of cement. A shadow is suddenly cast upon the stone. A bald man in white and blue robes watched the group.
"I believe it will soon come time for my students to meet their new master." said the man. "You will do well, apprentice." The man walked off as a fog flowed through the area.
I decided to make the chapter extra long to make up for my tardiness. I didn't intend to write the Xiaolin Showdown, but it just seemed so fitting to show that Uncle knows a lot about the trials. There is still the question of how the Omnitrix truly fits into all this demon portal business, and now there's the question of who the hooded man was. All will be revealed soon, but I love to see you guys guess. Drop you're guess to the identity of the mysterious man, as well as your opinion of the first Xiaolin Showdown shown in this combined universe in a review down bellow. Next chapter, we go into a full, story original episode. Until Next time, catch ya later!
