Chapter 12: Weight and See

"Jackie!" Uncle shouted. "Chi-o-matic located drum!"

"Chopsticks." Future Jade interrupted. The others stared at her. "In my timeline, the Mountain Demon's chi was found in chopsticks carved from the drumsticks used by the Immortal Warrior who originally defeated Po Kong."

Later on, our heroes arrived at a trading place for rice collectors. "People collect rice?" Uncle asked out of shock. The woman running the place explained there were several places where rice can be collected from and some people like to have rice from all areas.

Rita and Reina were then feeling the willies. "Daddy's coming." Rita said.

"Well, let's get outside to greet him, children." Future Jade told her daughters. "Do you mind?"

"Not at all." Uncle answered. Present Jade tried to leave as well but Jackie stopped her.

Tohru and the Chans (except those from the future) then started trying to find the demon-powered chopsticks among all the chopsticks but it was hard like find a needle in a needlestack. Their search was then interrupted by the Dark Dragon and Chang.

"What a fitting place." The Dark Dragon commented. "I wonder what fried humans with rice will taste like."

"You don't scare us, Dark Dragon!" Jade exclaimed. The Dark Dragon then produced lightning from his right hand/claw. "Do I scare you now?"

"Well, you impressed me a little." Jade replied. Uncle and Tohru then tried to blast the Dark Dragon away with their dried lizard and blowfish. Chang tried to hit Jackie with a net shot from her staff but he quickly dodged. Uncle then started repeating the ritual that got the Dark Dragon banished to the Demon Realm. Afraid of a repeat, the Dark Dragon fled.

"Why, it seems big dark ugly one left you all alone, Chang." Jade mocked.

"Just because you want." Chang replied and then a bunch of trolls showed up. One of them attacked Jackie, who kicked him back. Another one went after Tohru, who grabbed the troll and threw him away. "Dude, are you a human or an ogre?" Uncle's blowfish shots kept one barely away from him. Jade, for once, had the common sense of running away from the last one. Sure, she made a point of coming back to try some chopsticks but it's a progress. She came, caught some chopsticks, ran away and, once she figured out the ones she caught didn't have any demon chi. Catching on, the troll decided to stop as well and try some chopsticks himself. Fortunately, he didn't know Jade enough to figure out she'd sneak her way towards the other side of the chopstick pile. She eventually found the right set, as evidenced by Uncle's chi-o-matic pointing at her. "After her!" Chang commanded. Jade then ran away with the chopsticks. As she ran, she realized she was starting to grow taller. She was then thinking 'How could it be? At this pace, I'll grow taller than a mountain. Duh, it's chi from the mountain demon, Jade.' She then decided to face the trolls. The first one to reach her was treated like the one that faced Tohru. As she kept growing, the trolls felt intimidated by her size and fled. After that, Jackie, Uncle and Tohru joined her. "Who needs a diet now?" Tohru asked, tired of her previous insistence he'd keep himself in shape.

"We have no time for this now, Tohru!" Jade angrily replied with a voice that reminded everyone of Po Kong's. "We've got to save me from Drago."

"Not before we suck Mountain Demon chi from you." Uncle replied. "As long as it is on living non-demon, Drago could easily absorb it."

Meanwhile, Future Jade and her daughters were still fighting Drago and the Ice Gang. At some point, MC Cobra accosted Reina and asked "Do you have any plans for this Saturday night?" Cobra then felt a fire blast hitting him from behind. "You're not good enough for her!" Drago angrily stated.

"What about her sister?" Cobra meekly asked and then was kicked by Future Jade. "Nice kick, Jade dear." Drago complimented.

"Don't talk to me like that, Drago!" Future Jade angrily replied. The present-time heroes then arrived. "I see you managed to get the Mountain Demon chi. Ice, we have no chance against all of them together. Let's leave.

LINE BREAK – The Dark Dragon's hideout

"I've never been so humiliated!" The Dark Dragon moaned. "I've never felt so scared in my whole life! Chang, where's that stupid monkey of yours with the anti-banishment amulet?"

"He'll be back soon, Master." Chang replied. Then, another villain appeared. "I've decided to give you a chance to reconsider, Dark Dragon."

LINE BREAK – Section 13 Headquarters

"You know, the more I hate agreeing with those Council jerks, I'm not sure if keeping the chis here is a good idea." Rita commented. "Dad and the Dark dragon know the location of Section 13."

"Being from the future, you must have already heard about a Section 14." Capt. Black replied. "Am I correct?"

"Yes." Rita replied.

"As of now, Section 14 has just been recently built." Capt. Black explained. "The Dragon Council and the Government of the United States have been planning an operation to transport the chi container there. Since Section 14 is at the East Coast, the American Dragon and his Dragon Master will be able to occasionally inspect it."

That caught the attentions of the others. "Is the Dragon Council okay with this?" Jackie asked out of worry. "I thought they hated the idea of non-magical humans knowing about the Magical World."

"Jackie, I wasn't supposed to tell this until now but ever since the Vice-President learned about magic being real, he started a program to train secret agents to the knowledge magic was real." Capt. Black explained, shocking the others. "The Dragon Council was furious when they learned but eventually accepted it had been started almost a year before the Government learned about the Magical World at all."

Jackie then looked at Future Jade. "Jade, how did it go in your timeline?"

"Nothing like that has ever been tried back then, Jackie." She explained.

"Great! Another time change!" Jackie sarcastically exclaimed.

"Why don't we simply send those chis with my future self back to her time?" Jade suggested.

"We're wary of what might happen if they're magically transported through either space and/or time, Jade." Future Jade explained.

Later on, Jake, Lao Shi, Mr. Lee and the Dragon Council arrived at Section 13 to provide the Dragon Order's side of the protection detail. They entered the cargo part of a truck that transported the chis to the airport where they'd catch a plane to transport the chis to the East Coast. The Chans and the other allies followed in cars. However, there was a problem with that plan: a fire blast destroyed the plane.

"Drago?" Jade asked in shock.

"And I'm not alone." Drago replied as the Ice Gang, Chang, the Dark Dragon and Chang appeared nearby. Uncle then noticed the Dark Dragon's new amulet. "Aiyaaahhhhhh! An anti-banishment amulet! Jackie, I can't banish him again!"

"We'll have to deal with them the old-fashioned way." Jake suggested.

"Suggestion approved, American Dragon." Councillor Kulde replied. The Dragon Council then charged towards the Dark Dragon. The Section 13 agents opened fire against the trolls while Mr. Lee fought Chang. Jake, Tohru and the Chans guarded the chis against Drago and the Ice Gang. As they approached the container, Uncle activated the chi-o-matic and pointed it at Drago. "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!" Uncle chanted until Drago's demon chi was absorbed. Drago was furious and desperate. "What did you do to me?"

"Uncle upgraded chi-o-matic." Uncle explained with a (quite rare) smile. "You now have no demon chi. Not even your own."

"He still looks like a demon." Jake pointed out.

"Drago is a full demon." Uncle explained. "Even without his demon chi, he still looks like such."

Not wanting to acknowledge this fact, Drago tried to breathe fire but failed. "I'm still not defeated!" He exclaimed. "Destroy that weapon and the chi container!"

"Not so fast, Drago." The Dark Dragon intervened despite the Dragon Council's attempts to subdue him. "Now that you're powerless, I am the only one able master of this evil force. Join me unless you want to face my wrath, Drago's minions."

"Deal." Strikemaster Ice easily replied.

"Traitors!" Drago exclaimed and then tried to pin down the Ice Gang but despite still having martial skills, he was easily overpowered for the three fire demons. The Dark Dragon then invoked a lightning strike that shattered the chi containment unit. The scare made Uncle fall, breaking the container with Drago's chi. The Dark Dragon then started to absorb the chis. Rita, Reina and the Ice Gang then jumped towards him to have some chi as well. Suddenly, they heard Drago chanting. "Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Chi Wah!" The chant was then attracting the chis to him. "Uncle never heard this before." Uncle commented.

Rita and Reina then tried to outdo their father on this spell. "Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Chi Wah! Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Chi Wah! Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Yaga Ni Chi Wah!" The two of them chanted. Despite their efforts, Drago did manage to absorb all chis. He then started having features of all demons.

"Uncle, we've got to absorb the chis away from Drago!" Jackie desperately pleaded.

"Impossible!" Uncle replied. "Uncle cannot remove chis from demon who has all of them."

"Exactly!" Drago exclaimed in triumph. "Now I'll punish those who betrayed me. Starting with the Dark Dragon!" Drago then directed a lightning right into the Dark Dragon's chest. Drago then flew towards the Dark Dragon's left ear and pierced it, killing him.

"Dawg, we helped ya, remember?" Strikemaster Ice pleaded.

"Uncle cannot remove demon chi from Drago, but Uncle and Tohru can remove Drago from Earth." Uncle said and then he and Tohru produced each one an octopus tentacle and chanted "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!" A huge crater then opened and Drago started being sucked away. "Rita! Reina! Help your father right now! This is an order!"

"We don't take orders from you, Dad." Rita replied.

"Exactly." Reina added.

Drago was holding into the top of the crater when the Dragon Council approached him. "Fellow dragons, help me!" He pleaded.

"You're a shame to all dragons, demon." Councillor Andam stated as he kicked Drago's claw, making the demon fall into the crater, which soon closed. The Ice Gang then lost their demon powers. They tried to flee but were soon arrested by Section 13.

LINE BREAK – Section 13 Headquarters

"I guess this is goodbye, Jade." Jackie told Future Jade.

"Unless time has been altered so you won't be in my time to welcome me back, no." Future Jade replied.

"Will your daughters be erased from existence now that your past self knows about them?" Councillor Kulde asked out of worry.

"Don't worry about that, Councillor." Future Jade replied. "Uncle and the girls put a spell on her to make her not to think about this knowledge until she's pregnant with the girls."

Rita and Reina then approached their mother. "Are you sure you're not forgetting anything, girls?" Future Jade asked her daughters.

"We didn't bring anything other than the clothes we're wearing when we came to this time, Mom." Reina explained. The three time travelers then opened a portal and left.

"Do you think everything is okay with them?" Jackie asked out of concern.

"Only time will tell, Jackie." Uncle solemnly replied.

THE END

Of the main arc, at least. I might add some filler stories later like Jackie Chan Adventures did in Seasons 2 and 3.
