A/N: Finally back from vacation! I was working on this while I was there. :D I hope it doesn't stink, and I think it might be a bit rushed in parts, but please enjoy. :)

Chapter 11 – On the search, an old face

Everyone had just come back from Imperial City, they intended to drop Daiyu back at the shop where she was working, but some soldiers recognized her and chased her, resulting in Madam Yue to take her back with them. They're now in a forest 20 miles away from the city of Shanghai where they'll begin their search, but Madam Yue is telling Daiyu to stay in the forest and stay hidden.

"Do you got it Daiyu?" asked Madam Yue. Daiyu nodded and said, "I understand." She slightly frowned, "I wish I could go back to Imperial City, and...I wish that Mogui never got inside Jia..."

"Thanks Daiyu," Jia said softly, clutching her chest as Mogui tried to tempt her again.

"We've got to get moving," said Tigress. Madam Yue nodded and told Daiyu "Stay safe and hidden" before they walked off, Daiyu softly wished them luck as they went to find the Golden Crystal.

As they walked, Yanmei led them, looking at the trees and terrain to find a way to the city they're going.

"Where are we going to find the Golden Crystal? It'll be like looking for a needle in a haystack," said Po.

"Actually, it's the most common out of the three things needed," said Madam Yue, "There're about 20 or so in the world, and I think some could be on display at a museum."

"Which is why we're going to Shanghai?" Po asked. Madam Yue nodded, and when they came out of the forest, they see a magnificent city in the distance, surrounded by thick walls protecting the city, some buildings were similar to Gongmen City's buildings, but different, several pointy buildings towered over them, a grand Palace stood on top of a hill, the sea behind it made the city look even more magnificent.

"I've seen pictures of this city..." said Lei, looking out onto it.

"This isn't a sightseeing tour," said Jia, walking forward, "We need to get moving." Lei nodded, remembering the mission.

"All right," said Madam Yue, "Let's all stay together, find the museum, get the Gold Crystal and then get out. Try not to draw too much attention before we get to the Crystal."

"Yeah...not before..." Po muttered, knowing they're going to have to steal the Crystal, making Yue just look at him. Lei held Jia close, stroking her arm while Yanmei looked at them out of the corner of her eye. She cleared her throat and said, "I've been in this city before on one of my father's trips, I know my way around it some."

"Don't MENTION HONG!" Jia roared, making Yanmei jump. Yue grabbed Jia's arm and said, "Control yourself. Don't let him win over you." Jia snorted at Yanmei and muttered "I don't trust or like you" before she turned away.

"That's right, Jia...use your anger...use it to become one with me..." Mogui said to her, he would attack her again, but the others keep feeding her Light so he won't attack her again or them like he did back at Madam Yue's house.


With Tai Lung and Biyu – Outside the Abandoned Yangshan Mines

Finally reaching the abandoned mines, Tai Lung's eyes widened a bit at the site, they look very old and crumbly, there were some rusty old railroad tracks for the mine carts but they looked 100 years old. The rocks above even looked unstable, as if they were to fall down any moment. Tai Lung took a deep breath in.

"I never expected they'd be like this," he said.

"Neither did I," said Biyu, "But we've got to get going right away." Tai Lung looked at her and nodded, "And I need to get home to my wife once we're done with the mission." Biyu understood and they walked into the mines with ease.


Back in Shanghai

They're now entering the city's limit, Madam Yue is looking for a map of the city to find the museum, Jia is slowly gasping for air, she's having an anxiety attack, Lei sat her down on a barrel and began calming her whispering, "Breath in. Breath out" repeatedly as Jia slowly calmed herself down. Lei gave her some more Light to subdue Mogui some more. Lei wanted to get a question off his chest, he sighed as he sat next to Jia.

"Why did you do that?" he asked softly. Jia looked at him and asked "Do what?"

"You pushed me out of Mogui's way...you took the bullet...why?" Lei asked softly. Jia's lips briefly trembled, she, hugged him, clutching onto him as she whispered, "I couldn't let you get hurt again...not after what had happened lately..."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean..." Jia looked at him, "You were killed once by Mogui, and I...couldn't let him take you again...I reacted...as a way of protecting you..." Lei's eyes slightly widened, Jia was protecting him, he knew that she did have some protectiveness over him, but he didn't know it was this severe, a true sign she loves him.

"But...your struggles...I should've taken Mogui..." he said.

"I know...nothing else mattered back there than me protecting you...I love you, Lei, and I can't see you hurt..." replied Jia, Lei hugged her and said, "I can't bear to see yourself hurt either, Jia..." Then they heard Madam Yue clear her throat. They turned their attention to her and she said, "The museum is ¼ of a mile away from here. Let's teleport there." Lei nodded, but then he sensed a dark presence...not a large one, but something.

"I sense something..." he said, "It's not too big, but we need to be on the alert..."

"Glad you detected it," said Yue, "Come. Let's go." She was about to teleport, but then she gasped and clutched her chest, falling onto her knees.

"Madam?!" Tigress shouted, everyone went to her side as she used her staff to stand back up, she groaned.

"What happened?" Po asked, concerned. Yue looked at him, "The Darkness...it's getting stronger...I'm losing more power..."

"Okay, let's take it to the roofs to get to the museum faster," said Yanmei. They all agreed, Yue grabbed Jia and fed her more Light, the feline was a bit annoyed of being held close like a child, but she knew it's for the best, so, they climbed to the roof and began jumping from one to the other until they arrived at the museum. Landing right in front of it, they headed in, meanwhile, the raven Siwang had sent has located the warriors, it began flying to find a way into the museum.


Inside the museum

Madam Yue had put a hood over her head so that people won't see what kind of species she is, she even transformed her staff into a cane to make herself look civilized, Tigress has Jia with her and she kept whispering "Keep yourself calm and focus on the Light" she kept whispering in a motherly tone as if she's been Jia's mom ever since she was born. Jia felt a bit at peace, but with all going on, she just can't fully relax.

"Man, look at this map," said Lei, looking at a big map of the museum, "Finding the Golden Crystal will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Well, it's better to start looking than just to gawk at a big map," said Madam Yue, paying for them all to go in the museum. Lei looked at the goose behind the counter.

"Ma'am, where can we..." Po hushed Lei, the panda shook his head and said, "We'll ask when we're inside the real museum." Madam Yue got the tickets and they went on their way to find the Crystal, if it's here.

"I'll look to see if there's another museum," said Madam Yue, "You guys look in here."

"Will you be okay?" Lei asked, concerned about her getting very weak in power.

"I'll be fine, we need to worry about Jia right now. I'll be back soon." With that, Yue teleported away as Tigress held Jia close.

"Let's split up," said Yanmei, making Jia glare at her, "Tigress, you and Jia will be one team, Po you will go by yourself, and Lei and..."

"NO!" Jia roared, she lunged forward and SMACKED Yanmei to the ground!

"JIA!" shouted Tigress. Jia growled as Lei helped Yanmei up, who's holding her jaw.

"I've so been wanting to do that..." hissed Jia. Lei glared at her, making her eyes widened.

"That wasn't very nice," he said, angry for what she did. Jia glared at him and asked, "You trust her? Why would you?!"

"Just because she's Hong's daughter, doesn't mean she'll betray us," said Lei, "We've been friends for a while." Jia walked over to him, ignoring Yanmei.

"I don't trust any relative of Hong's...you told us she had her hands on you and you just act as if it doesn't happen?" said Jia, eyes hardening.

"She apologized, she won't do it again," said Lei, making Jia growl, "And she won't betray us. I trust her, unlike you." Jia hissed.

"Stop it you two!" said Tigress. Jia hissed at her, "Let me talk!" She turned towards Lei, "If she betrays you, don't come crawling to me for help! I do not like her! I hate her! And you should be deeply ashamed for trusting such a pervert and a liar!" Lei gasped as Jia stomped off, clinching her fists, fighting hard not to punch anything. No one said anything, was it just Jia's anger at Yanmei, or was it Mogui changing her emotions? Yanmei's jaw is bleeding, Lei took her over to clean her wound.

"I'll get Jia," said Tigress, Po nodded and said, "And I'll take Lei with me, I still don't fully trust Yanmei, and you should be watching her."

"Right," said Tigress, "She'll go with me. I'll find Jia." Po went to find Lei and Yanmei while Tigress went after Jia.


With Lei and Yanmei

Lei is cleaning Yanmei's bloody jaw, he frowned as he just realized the force of the punch caused her to bit her tongue. He sighed and said, "I'm so sorry about that..."

"It's okay..." said Yanmei, Lei shook his head and said, "No. It's not. She just doesn't know you, I should've watched her. You're my friend, and you wouldn't betray us." Yanmei smiled, she wrapped her arm around his neck and made him look into her eyes.

"I would never betray you," she said softly. Lei smiled, and finished cleaning her blood off, he stood up and smiled at his friend.

"We should get going," he said, only thinking of Yanmei as a friend, but Yanmei hid her anger, she wanted to kiss him. She smiled as Po came over.

"You okay, Yanmei?" he asked, concerned. Yanmei nodded, Po sighed of relief and said, "Look Yanmei, I'm still going to watch you, and so is Tigress. And she wants you to go with her while Lei and I go in our own direction." Yanmei felt anger again, but with her clever attitude, she hid it behind a forced smile.

"Of course," she said, she frowned, "Maybe I should've suggested that instead of me just going with Lei...sorry if I offended her."

"She'll get over it," said Po, "She'll like you. Now, let's move." Yanmei nodded and went on her way.


With Yanmei

She growled to herself, angry that she couldn't kiss Lei, she's itching to taste his lips and make him love her, oh, when can she make her move? She really wants to get it over with.

"Yanmei," said a deep voice. Yanmei jumped and she looked to see the raven, her eyes widened and the raven said, "I am sent to you by your father. He wants to know everything that's going on."

"Really?" Yanmei asked, surprised, the raven nodded, making Yanmei smile evilly, "We're looking for a way to get Mogui out of Jia. We need a Golden Crystal, a Crystal Orb and a Red Ruby from the abandoned Yangshan Mines. Tai Lung and Biyu are down there and we're on the search for the Golden Crystal."

"Ah, that would be good for him to know."

"Yes, and they really are foolish, I was tough enough to wound myself and go through what all I did..." Yanmei smiled evilly, "Lei shall soon be mine." The raven nodded and said, "I'll be heading back to your father. The search party's spread out for them, we'll find and arrest them." Yanmei nodded.

"Then he'll be mine and mine alone," she said. The raven took off while Yanmei looked on, she really lusts for Lei and won't stop at anything until he's hers. She walked off and found Tigress and Jia, the older feline has calmed Jia down, when Jia saw Yanmei, she just turned around.

"Well, shall we go?" said Yanmei. Tigress agreed and they began moving rather quickly through the museum to find the Golden Crystal.


10 minutes later – With Hong

The raven flew rather quickly to find Hong, he told him everything that Yanmei had told him. The evil general smiled evilly and said, "Well, thanks for that info. I'll send men and Siwang to find Biyu and Tai Lung, and when the soldiers in Shanghai find the wanted posters approved by the Emperor, Jia and her friends will be arrested on the spot." He looked over at Siwang, "Send some more ravens to go find the Crystal Orb. They're doing some of the work for us, we need to get moving fast to get your power back, right?"

"Yes, I desperately need it..." said Siwang, "And I'll be happy to track down Tai Lung and Biyu.

"Of course," said Hong. Siwang made some more ravens, a bunch of them and they all scattered to find the Crystal Orb. Hong smiled deviously and said, "Send another raven to find the warriors, and make sure that they tell us where they're going." He looked out onto the horizon, "Soon...the universe may just be mine instead of being just a lousy ruler of the country."


Back in the museum – With Tigress, Jia, and Yanmei

No one has any success in locating the Golden Crystal, much to Tigress' frustration and concern for Jia, how much longer do they have before Mogui breaks out of Jia's body? She doesn't know. They looked in the jewel section of the museum expecting to find it there, but no success, not even in the ancient exhibits. Tigress growled in frustration again as they looked at a map to find it.

"Have we searched everywhere?" asked Tigress.

"I think so," said Yanmei, "I've not seen a Golden Crystal anyway." Tigress looked at Jia and the feline shook her head, saying, "She's right for once. I've not spotted it either." Tigress wanted to say something to Jia about what she just said, but she decided to let it slide. Po and Lei caught up with them.

"We've found out it's not here, it's in another museum somewhere in the city," said Lei.

"Drat! All this time in this museum for nothing!" said a frustrated Tigress, "To think such a museum would have such an artifact."

"And I found the museum," said Yue, walking in, "It's on the other side of the city."

"Let's go then," said Po. Yue nodded and teleported herself and the others out of the museum, not knowing soldiers have come in and began investigating for them.


Inside the second museum

Yue had paid for them to be in the museum, she began moving fast with the others. Po trotted up to her, "Where is the Golden Crystal?"

"It's in the back of the museum in the rare artifacts section," said Lei, showing them he picked up a map. Po thanked him as they began making their way over. They moved through different rooms, seeing several artifacts, but kept focus to their mission. Finally, they came into the rare artifacts section, and the first thing they saw was the Golden Crystal along with some other artifacts.

"There it is," said Jia, relieved they found it. Po rubbed his chin as they walked up to it, "But...how will we...you know, get it?"

"I don't know," said Madam Yue, "There're people in here and there's two security guards."

"I don't care how we get it, I just want to get Mogui out of me..." Jia said in a desperate tone. Before Yue could come up with a plan, someone shouted "Hey! Stop right there!" They all turned around and saw several rhino soldiers, and they had their spears pointed at them.

"What the?" said Lei, as the others eyes widened.

"You all need to come with us, you're under arrest," said one soldier.

"What?!" shouted Lei, Jia growled under her breath and muttered "Hong..."

"And what're the charges?!" demanded Tigress. The soldiers moved in closer with their spears, Yue detected something about them, her eyes widened.

"They're in a trance..." she said.

"What?" said Po. Yue fired a ray of Light at them, causing them to fly back, Lei broke the glass case containing the Golden Crystal and took it.

"Move!" shouted Madam Yue. She began running and made a portal, they all jumped through it. The soldiers jumped in after them.


In the forest outside Shanghai

The warriors landed in the forest, and so did the soldiers. Yue gasped before she punched them back into the portal before it closed. She let out a rough sigh, Daiyu came from behind a bush and ran over to them.

"Daiyu!" said Lei, "You're okay!"

"I know, I hid when I saw them coming," replied Daiyu. Lei looked at Madam Yue, "And what do you mean the soldiers were in a trance?"

"I mean...someone might've hypnotized them to find us, and by that 'someone' I mean Siwang," replied Madam Yue, "Who knows how many are looking for us."

"If Siwang killed Hong, then my day would brighten..." Jia muttered.

"What was that, Jia?" asked Yue.

"I mean, things just a little uglier," lied Jia, but Madam Yue knew what she had said, but decided to let it slide. Instead she turned to Lei and said, "Great job getting the Golden Crystal."

Lei chuckled, "Not the only time I had to steal an artifact." He's referring to the time in New York. Yue looked over at the sun, it's beginning to set. She sighed, she took note of voices in the forest.

"We've got to get deeper into the forest, or they might find us," she said, "We also need to set up camp."

"What?" said Jia, "But Mogui!"

"I know, but the sun's beginning to set and we need to have some rest." Yue turned to Tigress, "You and Lei will take shifts monitoring her, make sure she doesn't break out in rage." She turned to Po and Yanmei, "And you two will take shifts on keeping watch for the soldiers."

"What can I do?" asked Daiyu. Yue looked at her and said, "You can help watch Jia, for soldiers, and you can just sleep." Daiyu nodded, "Good enough for me." The voices began to get louder, Yue told them to come along and they went deeper into the forest.


2 hours later – In the Yangshan Mines

Biyu has just been notified that Yue has set up camp with the warriors and they're taking shifts to watch Jia and for soldiers. Biyu looked over at Tai Lung, seeing he's looking hard for a Red Ruby, but they've not found a thing in these mines, not even a little jewel. She walked over to him.

"Tai Lung," she said, Tai Lung looked up at her and she went on, "The others are camping until first light, they found the Golden Crystal and are relying on us to find the Red Ruby before daybreak."

Tai Lung groaned, "But we've not found a blasted thing in these stupid treacherous mines! How can we find it before daybreak?!"

"It's better to search than to argue, Tai Lung, things might look bleak but we can't just give up," said Biyu. Tai Lung couldn't argue with that, so he kept his mouth shut.

"Should we head deeper into the mines?" he suggested. Biyu nodded and said, "It wouldn't hurt." They began to head down, hearing some rocks tumble in the distance. They shrugged it off as some rocks giving way, but when they went deeper, Siwang and some of Hong's soldiers have entered in.

"We found them," said Siwang.

"Do we move in now?" asked a soldier.

"Not yet, we wait until they find the Red Ruby," replied Siwang. They stayed back from them, following them at a safe distance.


The next day – In the forest

The sun is rising, its golden rays streamed through the trees' branches, as if nothing was wrong in the universe, but as for the warriors...it was probably the most dreadful night they ever went through. Jia couldn't sleep at all last night, she threw up a few times during the night, she kept sweating, hyperventilating twice during the night, always putting them on edge, especially her new family. Jia managed to meditate some in the night, but Mogui kept intervening and she lost her calmness, Yue managed to keep her from going on an outrage controlled by Mogui, but that didn't stop Jia from saying very harsh things to her and the others, believe me, you don't want to know. Lei never took his eyes of Jia, Yanmei kept assuring him she'll be okay, much to Jia's annoyance. Tigress even hummed a little tune to Jia like she did with Lei when he was scared, it calmed the feline down a bit, and she did fall asleep, but the nightmares of Mogui kept flooding her mind, making her toss and turn in her sleep, forcing all warriors to give her Light throughout the night. Now, they awake Jia, she gasped and bolted upright, she held her head as she kept herself from hyperventilating. Lei held her close, whispering it's going to be okay. Po, Yue and the others charged up their Light while Daiyu and Yanmei watched, they struck Jia, calming her down and subduing Mogui a bit for the time being.

"That should do it for a little longer," said Yue. "But we don't have much time..." She had a vision of the Orb of Outflowing Eternal Light, "The Darkness...it's spreading faster...we may have three days at the most..." That worried the warriors even more, knowing they have to move faster. Jia took in a deep breath, trying to calm herself, recalling what Madam Yue told her last night.

"Don't perform Dark actions, it's what Mogui wants, if you keep doing dark actions, he'll get stronger faster, but it'll slow him down if you do decisions in the Light."

"So what's the plan once we get Mogui out?" asked Yanmei. Yue looked at her and replied, "Once we do, we will destroy him once and for all." Jia's fist went out to her, but Jia grabbed her arm before it hit Madam Yue. She huffed as she pulled it back, Yue fired a ray of Light at Jia and she was no longer struggling.

"Mogui didn't like that..." said Lei. Yue nodded, then they heard Daiyu scream, they all whirled around and she ran away from a tree, Yue went over and her eyes widened when she saw a figure struggling to hang onto a branch. She hit the tree hard, the figure screamed and Yue caught it with her Light. She placed it down on the ground.

"Who are you?" she demanded. The figure looked up, revealing a goat, Jia gasped in shock.

"What is it Jia?" asked Tigress. Jia walked up to the goat and his eyes widened.

"Jia?" he said. Jia then said, "Master... Shanyuan?" Everyone else's eyes widened, Shanyuan jumped up and screamed happily, he hugged Jia tight, "AHHH! You're okay! I was wondering what had happened to you all these years!"

"I...I was too!" Jia said, smiling, "I...I thought he killed you!"

"Oh, he almost did," said Shanyuan, "But I managed to escape him after I was put in prison, oh, his men nearly had me, but luckily I managed to get over them and make my escape. I tried finding you, but I wasn't able to. But now I found you!" He laughed happily.

"And what were you doing snooping on us?" asked Lei.

"Well, I saw the smoke rising from the trees and I went to investigate, I was in the tree to see you but some white lioness knocked me out of it," said Shanyuan.

"Well, I didn't know if you were a spy or something," said Madam Yue, "Jia told us about you."

"Really?" asked Shanyuan, he looked over at Lei, "And who's this fine young man? He's good looking if I say so myself." Lei blushed deeply as Shanyuan said, "He's got to have your eye, Jia." Jia groaned in embarrassment.

"Look," said Tigress, "We can't stay here and chat. We're on a high stake mission."

"Again?" said Shanyuan, "I've heard your stories, yes I have, and the latest one about the Prophecy." He looked and saw a glimpse of the Golden Crystal in Lei's pocket, "Is that a Golden Crystal?" Lei looked and he saw part of it sticking out, he nodded.

"Why do you carry that?" Shanyuan asked.

"Look sir," said Tigress, "I know Jia would love a good reunion, but we've got to get moving."

"We carry it to help Jia," said Madam Yue, Tigress slightly gasped as the others looked at her.

"What? What's wrong with her?" he asked.

"Some parts of Mogui survived and he's within her body, we carry just one out of the three things needed to get him out," explained Madam Yue. Shanyuan looked at Jia in shock and horror.

"What?! This is a disaster!" he said, "What things to you need? The Golden Crystal...I know of...maybe if I recall a Crystal Orb and...some jewel..." Jia gasped.

"You know a way to get him out?!" she asked.

"Well, it's been done a few times in history, I need my scrolls to renew my mind."

"Did it work?" asked Lei. Shanyuan sighed and said, "I don't know, I just know it's been done a few times with other situations, but this is a new level."

"Maybe you can help us find a way to find another thing we need," said Madam Yue.

"I could, my campsite's not too far from here, we could walk there."

"Good. We need to hurry. We're being tailed," said Po. Shanyuan nodded and they began following the goat through the forest.


A few minutes later – In Shanyuan's camp

Shanyuan led them to his camp, when Jia saw it, it brought back old memories, her spending time with and training with him, she had to set the memories aside and focus on her efforts. The elderly goat began searching through his scrolls like wildfire to find anything about what they're looking for to save Jia, he's always considered Jia as a daughter, having cared for her for three years. Jia sat down in a chair as Po looked around at the scrolls. He unrolled one.

"Oh, you can look if you want," said Shanyuan, making Po roll the scroll back up, the goat looked at him and smiled, "There're some useful techniques that even the Dragon Warrior may not know." Po chuckled and said "I used to be the Dragon Warrior." Po unrolled the scroll and began to look, he saw some techniques not even he knew of, well, he knew about levitation, he's done it once. He saw the Tai Chi Kick, the Whirlwind of Fury, the Chi Ring and others. He wondered if Jia knew of these moves. Po sat down to look through the scroll real quick.

"I...I know those moves..." said Jia, Po looked behind him and he saw Jia standing there with her arms crossed, "I've learned the Kick and Whirlwind...that's it..." Po smiled and said, "Man, these moves are awesome." Then he whispered "Can you teach me them?" Jia rolled her eyes and Tigress lightly smacked the back of Po's head.

"Po, we need to focus," she said.

"Ahhh, here it is!" said Shanyuan, he unrolled the scroll and found the Golden Crystal, Crystal Orb and the Red Ruby. He turned to Madam Yue, "And I knew it was a jewel, I just needed to see which one. We should head out to find the Ruby at once."

"We've already sent two of our team there," said Madam Yue, "Been there since yesterday afternoon."

"Oh, very good! Then we can start by searching for the Crystal Orb. And I think I might know just where to start..." he went back to the scrolls and looked through them, all but Yanmei are oblivious that another one of Siwang's ravens has perched itself in a tree. Yue walked over as Shanyuan tossed away two scrolls, Lei looked at one and unrolled it.

"Unification?" he asked.

"Where two become one under Light or Darkness," said Madam Yue, "You need my power and focus on the Light for it to be possible." Lei was about a question, but...

"Ah, I found where we can start!" said Shanyuan, he unrolled the scroll, all went over and looked over him to see it.

"The Great Wall of China?" asked Tigress.

"Yes," said Shanyuan, "There was once a storage center for people, and for those who wanted to invade China could use the things they put in the storage, only few knew where it was back during China's wars. I've even heard reports of people using, yes, the Crystal Orb to manipulate things around them and overpower their enemies."

"But the wall's over 13,000 miles long!" said Jia, "How will we know where to look?"

"The storage is believed to be held at a section of the Wall in the dense forest near Beijing, there's one tower there and it's likely it holds the storage."

"That sounds like a promising place," said Madam Yue, "But can you be sure that we're just not wasting our time?"

"If it's not there, I'll find another place, I'll be digging through my research while you guys go."

Yue smiled, deeply appreciated by this old goat's efforts, "Thank you much, Shanyuan. We'll be on our way, and if we find the Crystal Orb, we'll be that much closer to saving the universe. Thanks to you."

"No problem," Shanyuan said happily, "Anything I can do to help, and anything I can do for Jia." Jia smiled at him and said "Thank you." Yue looked at them, she formed a portal, Jia and her family jumped in, but Yanmei stayed back.

"You coming?" asked Madam Yue.

"No, I think Daiyu and I can help with Shanyuan, I think this'll be good for me, I'll be waiting," replied Yanmei. Yue was a bit suspicious, but she asked "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Jia could use help if we be happening to look in the wrong place," replied Yanmei. Yue sighed and muttered "Fine." She jumped through the portal before it disappeared. Yanmei looked up at the raven and it took off, but then another one landed. She looked over at Shanyuan, "Let's get started, shall we?" She unrolled a scroll and she saw that there's a second storage, one that Shanyuan had missed, but she decided to keep it for herself, she closed it and acted as if it were worthless, but she hid it in her jacket.

"Excuse me for a minute, I need to do something," said Yanmei. She walked away, and when Shanyuan was distracted, she gave the scroll to the raven and he flew off.


In the dense jungle near Beijing

The warriors saw a section of the wall rising from the trees up on a hill, Lei took a deep breath in and began walking forward, followed by the others as well. Jia held her head, Yue gave her some Light.

"Jia, you want to kill them, it's in your instinct, you don't want them, you want nothing but Darkness. Your uncle said you're a demon from the Underworld," Mogui said to her. She was about to scream but Yue covered her mouth and whispered "Don't listen to him." Jia calmed down a bit, remembering the Light and to not perform dark actions. She looked around and saw Yanmei was nowhere to be seen, her alarm turned on.

"Where's Yanmei?" she asked in an alarmed tone.

"She's helping Shanyuan find out what we need," replied Madam Yue. Jia gasped, she whirled around and was about to shout, but Yue gave her a look, Jia held in her anger, Yue gave her Light to help her control herself. Jia clinched her hands into fists, fighting very hard not to say anything offensive.

"Why...did you...do that?" she demanded through gritted teeth.

"She knows things, Jia, I know you don't trust her, but we must try and work faster. She's doing it for you, she wants to help," said Madam Yue, Jia was about to say something else, but Yue stopped her, "Jia, I know, but we need to get moving fast. Need to get Mogui out and destroy him, destroy Siwang and save the universe." Jia took in a deep breath, her blood boiled, but it began slowing down, Mogui tried to make her angry again, but Yue managed to stop him from doing so. Jia turned around and began walking, trying to compose herself as she did so. With the others, they came upon the section of the wall and began looking for anything that could lead to a storage place.


An hour later

Jia sat down in frustration, they've not found a sign of the storage area. Are they just wasting their time? No one knows for sure, but they've not found anything.

"Do you think we should head back to Shanyuan's?" asked Po. Yue sighed and said, "I'm afraid so...not even my Light can detect anything that resembles a storage room...I searched high and low..." They all groaned in defeat, Lei stroked Jia's back, Madam Yue formed a portal and they went through it.


Shanyuan's camp

Yanmei just got the scroll back from the raven, she knew what's going to happen next. She's been helping Shanyuan ever since the others left, but what is she really up to? She walked back over, and when she did, the portal showed up and all of the warriors showed up.

"Did you find anything?" asked Yanmei.

"No, no storage room," said Tigress. Shanyuan groaned and said, "I haven't found anything...I'm sorry..." Then Yanmei put the scroll she had back without anyone noticing, making it tumble onto the floor.

"What's that?" she asked. She picked it up and unrolled it. She gasped.

"What? What is it?" Shanyuan asked, taking it from her. He looked and saw there's one more storage area.

"Hey, I knew I could find it! There's a second storage area!" he said, Yanmei groaned, she's the one who found it. "It's at a tall tower in Jianshanling."

"All right," said Yue, "Let's go." Yanmei walked up and said, "I'll go this time. We're in a hurry." Yue nodded, she formed another portal and they all but Daiyu went in.

"Strange how I missed it..." Shanyuan muttered.


Near the Great Wall

General Hong is waiting for them to arrive, he looks at a scroll and it's a copy of the one the raven had taken! He had many men with him and they're ready for action. He's heard from Siwang and how he's been following Tai Lung and Biyu on their search. He narrowed his eyes as he looked hard for them, then he saw a portal appear in the distance, he and his men hid as they began poking around the Wall.

"Do we make our move, sir?" a soldier asked.

"Not yet, we'll wait until they're done there," replied Hong.


With the warriors

Oblivious to Hong and his men's presence, they're busy poking around the wall in desperate search for the Crystal Orb, Yue kept monitoring Jia as she looked around. Using her Light, she looked carefully to find the storage room. Jia hissed as she glowed in Darkness again, Yue fired a ray of Light at her, she threw a punch at her, but Yue dodged it. She tripped Jia and the feline snapped out of it.

"Sorry..." she said. Yue nodded and got back to her search, she went around a dark corner and someone shouted "WHOA!" She ran back over and she slightly gasped when she saw a part of the wall had fallen down. Tigress coughed as she came out of the hole covered in dust.

"Lousy wall gave way when I was leaning," she said.

"Well, you found it, now let's get in there," said Po. They all followed Po into the storage area. When they got in, it was cold, dark, and musty. Yanmei sneezed because of the dust in the air. Madam Yue formed a sphere of Light and it lit up the entire area. There isn't much in here, just some spears, shields, swords and grapple hooks. Tigress walked on through the storage area, she found some nunchucks and some armor.

"Hey, I found it," said Lei. They all looked and Lei pulled out a Crystal Orb, it was as big as his Red Orb for the Eight Pointed Star, only this one is crystal clear.

"All right!" Po said happily.

"We made this out free and clear," said Jia, "And thanks to Shanyuan, we'd never find it."

"Nor would I," said an ominous voice, a voice TOO familiar for Jia. The warriors all gasped to see Hong standing where they came from and his men charged in, Yue was about to strike, but then a brick hit her on the head!

"Madam?!" shouted Tigress. Jia snarled at her uncle, she clinched her hands into fists, her eyes hardened and so did her breathing. The soldiers pointed their spears right at the warriors.

"I've been looking for you all," said Hong, walking down the stairs, "But after a horrid day searching for you all, I've finally caught the traitors to China."

"You're a liar," Jia spat.

Hong ignored what he said, "And looks like I caught the mystical Madam Yue in my net, I must be a lucky man after all."

"How in China could you have found us?!" demanded Lei. Yanmei chuckled and wrapped her arm around his neck and whispered into his ear, "Thanks to me, sexy." She hit a nerve on his neck and knocked him out instantly.

"YOU!" Jia roared. Yanmei chuckled and said, "Your little brother is so gullible, just like all men are."

"HE NEVER LIKED YOU ROMANTICALLY!" Jia roared, she threw a punch, but Yanmei punched her into a wall. Jia shook the stars out of her head.

"I believe I'll be taking that Crystal Orb now, and the Golden Crystal," said Hong. Tigress held it close to her, but Hong punched her face and retrieved it, and Yanmei got the Crystal Orb.

"You dirty little trick!" Tigress snarled at Yanmei as Po helped her up.

"Surprised the Master Tigress and the Dragon Warrior couldn't see past me, they're just as plain and gullible as their hot son is, which he'll be mine forever," Yanmei said deviously. Tigress was about to charge, but the guards stopped her.

"Lock them all up in chains," said Hong, "And Jia," He looked directly into her eyes, "You shouldn't have run off from me, and now you're going to pay the price. And you...you possess something within you, that could change the fate of the universe." Jia's eyes widened, she looked at the soldiers, they all had a tint of darkness in their eyes. She gritted her teeth, anger fueling through her veins, eyes hardened.

"That's right, use your anger," said Mogui, "You do want to save them now don't you? Not to mention this is the man who you downright hate." Jia lost it, she ROARED and dark ENERGY came out from her, the soldiers, Hong and Yanmei went flying as Mogui possessed Jia again! She's glowing in dark energy, her eyes are cold and dark again! She punched away the soldiers and charged for Hong, the tiger ran back up the stairs.

"HOOOOOOONNGGGGGGG!" Jia roared in a dark demonic tone, she ran off after him just as Madam Yue regains consciousness. She saw Po and Tigress in shock, Yanmei shivering in fear, she immediately knew what had happened. She took off after Jia.

Outside, Jia is in hot pursuit of Hong, firing Dark rays at him while racing after him.

"YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME!" Jia roared. But then Madam Yue landed in front of her, she struck Jia with all her force, causing the feline to fly into the air and land on her back when she hit the ground. Madam Yue pinned Jia down with her staff.

"That's enough playing with her, Mogui!" Yue shouted, then she used a lot more force, striking Mogui within her, subduing him again, but the impact knocked Jia out. Yue collapsed onto her knees, feeling very weak.

"Biyu...I need your help..." she muttered. But...no one came. "Biyu?"


In the Yangshan mines

Biyu and Tai Lung are both out cold, both are pinned under boulders, they're not hurt too bad, but they do have some wounds. Siwang chuckled as he went deeper into the mines to find the Ruby.

"Biyu, are you there?! Answer me! I'm weak! Is something wrong?!" Madam Yue tried to tell her, but she wouldn't wake up.


Back with Madam Yue

"Biyu, why aren't you answering?! Biyu?! Biyu!" she groaned in frustration, knowing something's happened to her as well, she prayed her daughter is okay. She heard Hong chuckling, she turned and glared at him.

"Game over, Madam, Mogui shall be mine," said Hong.

"You...how do you..." she asked.

"Hah, Siwang and I formed an alliance, and we're working together to get Mogui and defeat you all," replied Hong. Yue hissed at him and said, "Jia was right about you...you won't stop at anything." Hong only chuckled.

"But you're NOT getting Mogui! He's too strong!" Madam Yue shouted, she made a move and tripped Hong, "And Jia hardly has control of herself! You're so inconsiderate!" She wanted to do more, but she's weak, she picked up Jia and began running.

"GET THEM! KILL THE WHITE LIONESS!" Hong shouted to his men, some men came from behind him charging. Yue ran into the storage room, she tripped and fell, Yanmei chuckled as she began standing up, Yue looked to see Po and Tigress chained up.

"I'm not strong enough to make out where they'll go...but I need to get them out..." she thought. She formed a portal underneath the panda and tiger, both fell through to an unknown location, the soldiers almost jumped through, but Yue used her powers to keep them from doing so. She clutched her chest in pain, the Darkness is getting stronger. She looked behind her to see the soldiers coming, the soldiers in front are coming too.

"So vulnerable now, eh Madam?" taunted Yanmei, "Looks like your little plan is failing."

Yue hissed at her, "Even though I'm weak, I may not be able to fight, but I won't LET YOU TAKE JIA!" She teleported herself and Jia away, causing the soldiers to crash into each other in a heap. Hong came in.

"Where is she?!" he shouted.

"She teleported away," said Yanmei. Hong punched the wall and shouted, "FIND THEM!" The soldiers pulled themselves up and began moving, Hong pulled out a poster showing the warrant for the warriors arrest.

"Spread all across China...they should be captured in a little while," he said.

"We already got one," said Yanmei, picking up the unconscious Lei, "He's mine now." Hong nodded and said, "So he is. Take him to my horse and make sure he doesn't get away if he wakes up." Yanmei nodded, she walked outside and when she was out of her father's sight, she smiled deviously at the unconscious Lei.

"Time to take what I should've gotten," she said. Then she kissed his lips for about five seconds, "They'll taste better when you're awake." Then she chained him onto Hong's horse and got on it, Hong came as well, but Yanmei doesn't know that the soldiers are hypnotized, now that Yue and Jia are the only ones who got away, what's the fate of Po and Tigress? Will Tai Lung and Biyu make it out alive? How can they get Mogui out of Jia now?

A/N: It looks like things have gone from bad to worse! Indeed, what is the fate of Po and Tigress? What will happen to Lei? Will Tai Lung and Biyu make it out? Will Hong get what he wants? Stay tuned but first...
