Chapter 7: Among My Shadow II

By accident, the sparring resulted in having a huge dent on the ground; again. Altogether there were 27 holes.

Bulma slapped her head and Chichi started to shriek at the boys. "Goku, Gohan, and Goten Son! Have respect for Bulma! Look at how many holes you've made. Twenty-seven... Eight. Clean it up!!!"

"But mom... They are HOLES. How are we supposed to CLEAN it?"

"I don't care how you do it. Just do it!" Chichi demanded.

"Yes mom/Chichi." The Sons sulked.

Vegeta entered the scene and almost ripped the fridge door open. He grabbed a bottle of water and drank two large gulps from it. Jade came out too.

She walked over to Bulma. "Who's Mr. Grouch?"

"Um, Vegeta is my... Husband, so to speak." Bulma slowly answered.

Jade's eyes widened in surprise. "No way! HIM? That short guy?"

"Hmm hmm." Bulma nodded. "He doesn't talk much... At all."

"I can see that." Jade said.

"So Bulma, what did you want us to come here for?" Chichi inquired, looking over at the boys who picked up the rubble.

Bulma took out what seemed to be some sort of radar; similar to the Dragon Radar. "This is my new invention. It was supposed to track any strange activity that isn't normal, but I accidentally switched one of the circuits. That caused it to track something different, but I have no idea what. It started blinking though. This radar shows a map of whatever area that thing is in. For this case it's some kind of land with... Almost nothing on it."

The advanced radar had a map and eight red blinking lights clustered together in an area.

"Yeah but that still doesn't explain why you're asking us to help." Chichi pointed out.

"I'm just afraid there's going to be something like Freiza, Cell, the androids or Buu to happen again. We don't know what these things are capable of, so we'll need all the help we can get with Goku and your sons." Bulma frowned.

"They wouldn't be demons, would they?" Jade suggested.

Bulma looked at her. "There are no such things."

"Oh yes there is. Jackie, Uncle, Tohru and the rest of the J-Team helped to fight them. I faced a cheating one in particular," Jade gritted her teeth.

Bulma propped her chin on her hands and Chichi just waited. "Tell us about it."

"Well, it's kinda hard to explain. These eight demons come in their own portals and cause all kinds of havoc. This 'one' demon is the sky demon, Hsi Wu. When I was in the bathroom, a tail slithered in, so I shut it. It just so happens I busted a DEMON'S tail. So Hsi Wu disguised himself as a human and tricked me into showing his tail to him. But it ends up with me winning, as usual. I never had many friends; they all laugh at me about my ninja stuff, which is true. So, I thought I could really trust him... Guess not now."

The two women looked at Jade in sympathy. "Well, at least now we have some kind of clue as to what these things are. Are they powerful?" Bulma asked.

"Yeah. Definitely. In fact, they're immortal, so you can't kill them just like that. You have to seal them in a portal with a Panku Box, but you've gotta wear them out first. Except... I have no idea where that Panku Box is."

"Well, thanks for the info Jade. I'll be sure to tell the guys." Bulma said as she got up to head for her lab. That left Chichi and Jade standing there to watch Goku, Gohan, Goten and Trunks to clean up their mess.

"Dad! You're grabbing my head! Not a rock!"

"Sorry! I was thinking about food... Mmmm, fish..."

"DAD!!!!! Don't chew on my hair!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!! Shendu! You'll pay!" Hsi Wu screamed in agony as his wing got ripped off.

"I'm sure I will. Aaahhh, now all we need is a simple spell to top it off, along with your help of course, brothers and sisters..." Shendu praised as he held a bloody wing.

He blasted a hole through one of the floating boulders for a cauldron.

Bai Tsa peeled a single scale from her tail and put it in and Dai Gui created mounds of soil from a rock. Bai Tsa then conjured up water to blast into the 'bowl'. Tzchang Zu contributed by throwing a thunderbolt to the mix and Shendu used his flame to boil the water. Last but not least the fire demon carelessly threw in Hsi Wu's wing that dripped with red and had flesh hanging from it. Hsi Wu hissed as he saw his brother doing so.

In a bright flash, the liquid began to bubble up and turn into a sickly green color.

"Now for a little spell..." Shendu grinned to himself. "Yu mo guai guay fai dee jou, yu mo guai guay fai dee jou........"

The liquid in the cauldron swirled and turned black. Even if the mixture was not needed for drinking, it was still necessary for the dark ritual.

In a few moments, the sky turned dark.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As Jade sat at the table utterly bored, she felt a strange sensation all over.

"Um, may I be excused, Chichi?" Jade asked.

"Sure honey. Goku! To the right! No, that's too far! To the left... NO!"

Jade walked away to a corner and she clutched her stomach.

'I'm baaack...' the voice that was in Jade's haunting dream whispered.

"No... Don't, back off you creep!" Jade was screaming now.

Goku and the others heard her cry and rushed to the scene.

(A/N: Kinda sounds like the Tiger episodes; doesn't it? When they all 'rush to the scenes' and start dressing themselves up as Superman and yell "I'll save you!" *Ahem* ...Sorry, I'll shut up now.)

"Jade, what's going on? Jade! Answer me!" Chichi yelled.

The girl looked up, but something was wrong, terribly wrong. Her skin had turned an eerie blue color and her eyes were blood red.

"Fools... I am not the child you had befriended, for I AM the queen of the shadow khan. Warriors, come forth!"

A whole bunch of ninjas came up from the ground or wall ready to attack.

Goku got serious. He took a fighting stance too. Chichi desperately held him back.

"Stop! You'll hurt Jade. Tell us, it's just a joke. You don't mean it!" She pleaded as she looked the shadow queen in the eyes.

The cruel queen laughed. "No, this is not a joke, human. Now my servants, destroy them!"

The shadow khan lunged forward and began pummeling Goku, Trunks and Goten who stood there utterly confused.

But then they took on the offensive as well. They plowed through the ninjas easily.

"Looks like you've underestimated our powers, 'Your Majesty'. Is that all you got?" Goku mocked.

(A/N: okay, I am NOT going to use shadow khan over and over again, so I'll refer them as the 'SK'. And Jade as SKQ. I know, I'm VERY lazy aren't I?)

The SKQ smirked. "Perhaps. But I have an even more devious plan than this. You let my servants touch you, and even if it is at the slightest touch, the SK can still search your memories. Think of what I could do with them. I could bring back your worst fears imaginable. Very useful trick of the SK, don't you think so?"

'No! What if this new Jade finds out we had trouble with Freiza, the androids, or Buu? Will she be able to bring them back? I just can't take that risk.'

Goku charged ahead to grab hold of Jade and Goten and Trunks followed suit. Before they could reach her, the SK curtained her and disappeared without a trace.

"NO! They're gone!" Goku punched the ground making a huge dent. "If I'd have known she would be able to do that, I would've used my instant transmission!"

"W-what if she brings Buu back? Then what?" Trunks asked.

"I don't know Trunks, I don't know..." Goku looked off in a direction.

"But we beat him before! And we got stronger! We can do it again." Goten said.

"Yeah but I can't risk us dying anymore. What if she brings back all of our enemies altogether? We wouldn't stand a chance. And even if we did win against all of them, we or maybe just one of us would have to find the dragonballs to wish us back again." Goku sounded hopeless.

Right then Bulma, with Vegeta following behind her came out of where they came from.

"What is going on?!" Bulma asked worriedly.

"Nothing good."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the Underworld...

"Yes! Hahaha! Yes! I told you brothers and sisters that my plan would work." Shendu smirked at his victory.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. Now use that memory charm on her so we can get out of this place. I need a remedy for my poor wing..." Hsi Wu muttered.

"Yu mo guai guay fai dee jou, yu mo guai guay fai dee jou... Gah! Same thing! It's done." Shendu growled as he said the annoying chant again.

"Now, how will you reach the shadow queen from this side?" Tschang Zu asked.

"Another spell, of course. This time I can communicate with her using my mind. Now, let's see here..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The SKQ suddenly stopped in her tracks while searching for a kingdom.

"What? I-I don't remember what happened in the past. Hmmm, no matter. That is left behind. What I'm concerned about is the future. And it's becoming very clear to me that this pathetic mud ball of a planet will soon bow down to me!" she laughed evilly.

(A/N: What kind of villain DOESN'T do that? *Sigh* It gets past frustrating hearing all of those cackles.)

'Good evening, your majesty.' A voice said in the SKQ's head.

"Who's there?" she whipped around. The SK looked at her strangely.

"Uuggh. I must be exhausted. Hurry up and FIND. MY. KINGDOM!"

The SK scurried all over the place at the child's command.

'Your highness, please, hear me out.'

She huffed. "All right. What do you want?"

'You see, we are on the same side. You probably don't remember me, but I used to help you. We crushed Chan, don't you recall?'

"Yes... That name DOES sound familiar. *gasp* CHAN! What about him?!"

'If you free me, I may help you get rid of him in the other dimension. But first, why not stir up some trouble here, for now? All you have to do is set me free.'

'Shendu! You need to set US free too! Or else!' another voice hissed in the background.

'Yes, alright! Ahem. Now, as I was saying...?'

"Shendu, I presume? Hmmm, your offer sounds appealing... Alright. How do I set you free?"

'*chuckles softly* Listen carefully.........'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
