Alright! I return, and bring with me a complete majority vote! Not a single No from any of you! I love it! Thus, I see no point in drawing this out anymore so HERE. WE. GO...Somewhere.
Winning Votes, of Course:
Spoiler: Winning Votes
NOW WE START, FOR REAL!
"YES! LET THE HUNT BEGIN!" You hollered out at the top of your lungs, beaming a grin you've found yourself wearing more and more.
While its true that these past two encounters with the Shen Gong Wu had resulted in extreme levels of pain both bodily and to the Ego, it can also easily be seen as the most steps you've ever taken towards ruling the World.
If you hadn't gotten criticism from Wuya, would you have thought of Bob anywhere near as soon? Or been as driven? If you never had your Helipack destroyed by Kid in Thailand, would you have made your new Jetpack? Or Jet? Or streamlined your Flying Jackbot designs to lengths you hadn't even considered?
No. You probably wouldn't have. With each encounter, you could legitimately say you were better than the last. And this time, you would be ready for anything, and You Would Win.
It seemed Wuya was equally as excited, flying around you in a tizzy as her cackling filled the air, merely pushing you faster to down the stairs to get ready, any thought of food forgotten.
"YEESSSSS! YEEESSSS! Let us find the Wu in Peru, and Grow all the Stronger! Kakakakakaka!" Wuya cackled with glee.
That... brought you up short for a moment.
"Wait a minute. Peru?" You questioned the ghost, making sure you heard correctly.
So far, the Wu you had seen had been in places intermingled with people, or cities. Why the sudden deviation?
Wuya stopped cackling for a moment, and seemed to almost turn herself vertically through the air as she answered you.
"Yes. Peru. The area of Jungle and Nature, where those of Wood and Earth went to train with the Ancient Spirits and Rites. Where else would the Wu of an Earthly Beast Slumber?" She said in a slow tone, as if that should be common knowledge.
It wasn't.
You stopped for a moment to rub your forehead as you took in this new information.
"Okay, yeah, what was I thinking. Of COURSE something something I've never heard about before today would be near a sight of something I didn't know existed. Why. that could be the name of my Autobiography when this is all over! Anything else you think I should know?" You asked with your hand still on your head, previous excitement gone in the face of your 'apparent' ignorance.
Wuya actually stopped spinning for a moment to think of what to say, before speaking, already floating away.
"Hmmm. One thing. Make sure to have some kind of antidote or preventative for poison, little cub. I would be a Shame to lose one such as you too something as small as touching the wrong frog or 'vine'. Make it so, then we shall depart." With that, Wuya simply floated away, towards the Jet.
You were kinda surprised that you were given legitimately helpful advice from the old spirit, so it took you a second to actually react to it. In hindsight, it seemed kind of obvious. Bring antidotes for poisons before going to one of the deadliest parts of the world. Truly, only the most cunning could think of such a plan.
Course, you didn't really think of doing it, but you had just installed a medical attachment to your Jet, so you probably would be fine.
So, with a sigh, you decided to...
[] Load up on Anti-Venoms: Instantly Cure common and Rare Poison damage done to self. Will cost time getting to the Wu.
[]Stick with your Regular Med Bay setup: Get to the Wu location faster, but have no specific anti-venoms or protections, just general healing.
With that out of the way, Jack finally finished the act of loading up the Bots into the Jet, and as he strapped himself in and took the controls, a thought came to him that he probably should have asked before.
"So, what am I looking for here with this Wu? You said its Den, but what does THAT look like?" You asked Wuya, who had been 'resting' somewhere behind your head.
The response was as quick as it was unhelpful.
"Follow the True Water and Tree. You'll know what I mean when we get there." She said before going quiet.
This kinda annoyed you, so you tried to dig a little deeper.
"Any reason you're being so vague?"
"I said there would be no hand-holding in my teachings. Do you expect me to just hand you answers? Find them yourself."
These words said, the plane lifted off and soon, they were in the sky, surrounded by blue and silence.
Time Skip; Arrival
You were now flying over the untamed Jungles of Peru, and if you were doing anything else, you would have been blown away by the sights. However, you were here for a purpose. Thus, instead of taking in the scenery for its beauty, you instead searched for places you could land safely. And wouldn't you know it, you found a few. Thus, you decided to land...
[] Near the Ancient-looking Ruins
[]In the Vacant Clearing
[]Near the Base of the Waterfall
[] Under the Large Tree
END OF CHAPTER
And there we have it. We got a location, a reason, and choices. Let's see what we make of it. And, as a little bonus for us Readers, I'll give you all a little *Sneak Peak* at what's to come.
*BONUS*
?'s POV:
"Sir, an unknown aircraft was just spotted flying over our airspace, what do we do?" A voice called out from nowhere, sounding almost robotic, if not for the actual voice speaking.
You crinkled your eyes together as you tried to imagine what could bring anyone else to this Jungle hellscape, before finally replying.
"Was there any kind of marking on the craft? Custom designs, paint pattern?" You questioned back, voice as emotionless as the first's.
It took a moment for the other to reply, but when they did, you could already feel your teeth gnashing.
"Yes sir. I looked like a standard Jet model with large, almost rectangular transport container attached. Records show no such model existing on the market, leading to the conclusion of this being a personal design. And the plane...bore a set of Purple Spirals." The told as commanded, though with the end coming out almost choked.
As RAGE threatened to engulf your being at the moment, you swallowed it down, and instead let your mouth curl into a sharp grin, revealing what could be described as 'Fangs' more than teeth.
"So, the Spicer's return to us, do they? Well. This Time..." You whisper as you stand to your feet, to ready what must be done.
"We WILL be Ready."
*END OF BONUS*
