Chapter 21: The Void
Kali ran out of the part of the forest that Jesse and Rouge were in. Tohokari then appeared.
Tohokari: A true warrior NEVER leaves his friends behind. I would be ashamed of you. You know, the REAL me?
Kali: Would you PLEASE stop talking in metaphors?!
Electrum then appeared again.
Kali: Not YOU again.
Electrum: I'm just here on a light business. Like why the Legion's stalling you.
Kali: Stalling us?
Electrum: Yeah, stalling you. They want to allow you to stay here…permanently.
Kali: Why?
Tohokari suddenly appeared.
Tohokari: Because Tyrannous knows that you're different. And if he sees something out of the ordinary, he…well.
Tohokari drew his "finger" across his "throat".
Kali: So, he basically wants to…uh…do away with me.
Electrum: Yeah. And, to make sure that you don't get out again, he's gonna trap you in this world.
Kali: So, all along, this has been a trap.
Electrum: Since you took your first step in this world.
Kali: One thing left to do…
Kali then summoned a large amount of magic in both hands.
Kali: Get out as soon as possible!
Electrum: Good luck.
Kali ran into the next part of the forest. The next thing she knew, the skies were dark and the ground wasn't visible.
Kali: Home…
Tohokari then appeared with a physical form.
Tohokari: Wow! That was tingly!
Kali: And you're solid!
Tohokari then glanced around at his body.
Tohokari: I guess THIS is what Electrum meant back in the Semi-Void.
Kali: At least it's better than being alone!
They traveled through the Void until they came to Ebony Square.
Kali: This is the place where I stole Takuya's soul…
Tohokari: Never mind that. You didn't do that of your own free will. Lucemon THREATENED me to get you to do that.
Kali: …
They traveled some more before Kali stopped immediately, causing Tohokari to bump into her.
Tohokari: OW! What was THAT all about?!
Kali: No…
Why Kali said this became apparent. Seeing as a memory version of Takuya was there. He saw Koji and Zoë running towards him. Strangely, they just went THROUGH her and Tohokari.
Tohokari: Alright…that was unusual.
Takuya turned to see Koji and Zoë, but was blasted in the back by Kali, who had a Soul Siphon.
Tohokari: I know about that, Kali. I was there.
Tohokari was speaking, but another one was watching the tops of the roof with a stone-cold expression.
Tohokari: Why did I act like that?
Kali: You pretended NOT to care, because you cared TOO much for a double-agent.
Tohokari: Kali, what's done is done. You can't change what happened. Besides, you led Koji and Yugi to Takuya's soul to get him back.
Kali: Good point.
They traveled some more until they came to a statue made of ebony.
Kali: Uh-oh!
Tohokari: What?
Kali: Shendu!
The statue shook about and Shendu, the dragon, burst from it.
Tohokari: WE'RE IN TROUBLE!
Game Tip:
Tohokari: Shendu can only be attacked in twelve different areas, but they can only be attacked in a certain area and at a certain time.
They took out two of Shendu's areas, but the others were just too hard to reach.
Tohokari: Any ideas, Kali?
Kali: ONE!
Kali placed her hand on Tohokari's arm.
Kali: Polymers!
There was a flash of light and, after it vanished, Kali had raven black hair, a dragon pattern on her hat, a steel-gray jacket, blue stripes on her shirt, and a sword appeared in her hand.
Kali: At least there's no accent change. Better get this done!
She flew into the air (like a character from the Dragonball series) and struck the remaining two areas with the sword. When Shendu vanished, Kali and Tohokari split.
Tohokari: Warn me next time you do that!
Kali: Sorry!
Tohokari: Well, if what Electrum said was true, we'd better hurry!
Kali: Excellent point, Tohokari!
Kali and Tohokari then exited this world.
Shendu
The dragon demon who destroyed his own world and now represents the Society of Shadow's brute force. He's EXTREMELY powerful and Takuya and co. couldn't beat him when they first encountered him. He first appeared in Jackie Chan Adventures 2002.
Tohokari's Honor Polymer.
