As they jumped in to end the fight, Abobo held onto them both with his massive hands forcing them to drop their swords as he squeezed them. Both twins tried their hardest to break free, punching Abobo's wrists to force him to let go but were unsuccessful. Suddenly Abobo's skin became redder as if he just got a second wind; the dragons saw this and tried to escape quickly but couldn't.

"NOW, I WILL BREAK YOU BOTH!"

Abobo Leaped straight into the air, holding onto Billy and Jimmy while they tried to break free but could not. Suddenly, Abobo threw the dragons back down towards the deck with his strength, sending them flying like bullets. Unable to break out of their fall, the two braced themselves as they crashed through the deck

"Stop!" said Sensei

Suddenly everything froze in place just as Billy and Jimmy were midway crashing through the deck. Suddenly Sensei appeared along with another Billy and Jimmy, who walked around examining the frozen area.

"so this is what happened?" said Sensei

"it always creeps me out a little when we're here?" whispered Jimmy

"I know it's like watching a movie while you're in the movie," agreed Billy

The scroll Sensei pulled out earlier was a powerful relic called "The Dragon Scroll," created by Yan during his final years. This magic scroll has the power to record the lives and knowledge of every dragon from the moment of their birth to the moment of their Passing due to Yan writing his story with his blood, bonding the scroll to his bloodline, and passing on their experiences to the next generation. Another of its abilities allows it to pull others via their spirits into its realm within the scroll, letting them view past events.

"so this is the shadow warrior Abobo," said Sensei looking up at the monstrous form of Abobo frozen in the air.

Sensei was no longer limited by his blindness within the realm of the dragon scroll, as he could clearly see there.

"A drug caused this transformation?"

"the drug is called RPM," informed Jimmy

"But, I'm not sure it's the cause," said Billy, "while I was helping Marian with her projects, she told me she's never seen someone react to RPM like that," explained Billy,

"explain," said Sensei

"she told me how she fought guys high on RPM before, and all it does is give them a high adrenalin rush and make them mentally unstable,"

"I didn't think about it, but if that's the case, then Abobo may have some power like Fireball, and RPM is some kind of trigger for it," reasoned Jimmy

"Strange that there are beings with powers here. I wonder if…. Best I keep my theories to myself till I confirm it," thought Sensei.

Suddenly everything began to disappear around them, turning the whole area into a completely white void before a new location began forming around them. Taking the form of an old dojo and library filled with books and scrolls.

"It seems your lessons are about to begin," said Sensei. "until sunrise, we will study and practice the art of chi magic."

Both brothers reacted differently to this news after hearing what their lessons would be for the night. Billy was more enthusiastic, while Jimmy showed slight contempt, something Sensei noticed.

"James, while I understand your dislike for mastering this art, this is part of the path to becoming a Dragon Master,"

"I understand, but it's not like Chi spells are helpful in a fight, especially against the shadows,"

"There are other malevolent forces other than the shadow mastering this art will help you be prepared to face those as well,"

"yes, Sensei,"

With a sigh, Jimmy began studying along with Billy; each book and scroll contained information on several types of spells, all knowledge passed on from previous dragons. Billy and Jimmy studied and practiced their chi spells for hours due to the scroll supplying them with the needed ingredients to make the spells. Eventually, their training in chi magic ended before sunrise. As the three returned to their bodies, they took a moment to work out the stiffness of their bodies before they began their next training phase.

"Follow me," instructed Sensei

Following Sensei to the next platform, he instructed them to assume positions. Following his orders, Billy and Jimmy began standing one finger apart while placing their other arm behind their backs. Moving in between Billy and Jimmy, Sensei started to chant before tapping the ground with his staff to create a magical circle.

"Prepare yourselves, my dragons," he said before assuming the same position

As the circle disappeared, the ground underneath the three began rising in the form of stalagmites; at the same time. All began channeling their energy into their fingertips, not just to protect themselves from the sharp points while they rose up. But to also hold their stalagmites together.

"This exercise is for both endurance and focus; these stalagmites are each tied to your focus; the sturdier your focus is, the sturdier it is. Lose concentration, and it weakens, understands?"

"yes," they both replied

"Now, we will hold this form until the afternoon,"

Elsewhere that afternoon

Shortly after school ended, Marian and Kami went to the shopping center to find the twins for their meeting.

"you're sure they weren't at their apartment?"

"I'm sure I had to tell Tommy that they left early to help with renovating their restaurant and that they'd finish up in the evening,"

"Okay then,"

To their surprise, the two made it to the center, and they found containers sitting outside the restaurant.

"This must be the material to renovate the upper floor," said Kami

"But why are they just sitting out here,"

"Maybe they're busy in the Dojo and haven't noticed yet,"

"Well, let's go tell them,"

As the two went into the kitchen, Marian saw that the scanner was gone, to their shock.

"It's gone….the scanner is gone!?" said Marian

"Now, how are we supposed to get into the dojo?" asked Kami

Suddenly a wall of green fire burst from beneath them, circling them before either could react to their situation; the fire disappeared. Leaving them standing in front of the dojo's entrance.

"When did we… How did we!?" asked a still-shaken Kami.

"Magic," responded an exasperated Marian.

As the two entered, they saw no one; however, they started hearing faint sounds inside the garden. Moving to investigate, they peered in just in time to see Billy and Jimmy get knocked on their backs by Sensei.

"if you boys took your training more seriously, you wouldn't have struggled with Abobo," berated Sensei

"oh, we'll show you seriously!" responded Jimmy

"I'm with you, bro!" said Billy

Jumping to their feet, both brothers removed the upper part of their training uniforms, leaving themselves naked from the waist up. Unknown to them Marian and Kami were watching, and both were thinking the same thing.

"So hot?"

As the twins went into fighting stances, they took different forms representing their So-Setsu-Ken style; Jimmy's northern style and Billy's southern style. Sensei did the same surprising Kami and Marian since, despite his age, he was reasonably fit, and then he took a stance that seemed like a mix of the twins'.

"So, who's first," said Sensei.

Jimmy immediately charged in, throwing blow after blow, following up with a roundhouse to Sensei's face. Unfortunately, none of his attacks landed as Sensei was faster than him and dodged each move with little effort, much to Jimmy's growing frustration.

"Damn it!" said Jimmy

"I've told you many times, James, it doesn't matter how powerful your attacks are if you're not fast enough to hit me,"

Sensei attacked, delivering several hard and fast punches to Jimmy's gut knocking him back. Still, Jimmy, despite the pain, stayed standing, ready to continue the fight.

"you need more practice in the southern style; a dragon master can strike hard and fast."

"Oh, try this, Ryuuseiken!"

Launching at Sensei, Jimmy went into a rising uppercut. Still, Sensei dodged again before grabbing his arm, twisting it around, and pinning Jimmy face down.

"left yourself wide open again, James," he said, placing a foot on Jimmy's back to hold him down

Seeing Jimmy in trouble almost prompted Kami to help, but Marian stopped her. However, help did come as Billy flew in fast with a flying kick to Sensei but was stopped midair as he grabbed his leg. Billy tried to kick Sensei with his other leg still free but was caught by Sensei's other hand.

"William, while your attacks are faster than your brother's, they lack the power to do any real damage,"

"Just needed to keep you distracted,"

With Sensei focused on Billy, Jimmy's arm was free before knocking Sensei off him, making him drop Billy. The two rolled away, getting back on their ready to fight again, but something was wrong with Jimmy.

"Bro, what's wrong?"

"my damn shoulder is dislocated!"

"Hold on, this is gonna hurt," said Billy as he moved to Jimmy's arm and snapped it back into place.

"ow…DAMN…thanks," said Jimmy working his relocated shoulder

Their teamwork always impressed Sensei as he commended them while Marian and Kami watched.

"despite your shortcomings in your fighting, I am always proud of how you look out for each other,"

"don't praise us yet; we still haven't beaten you yet," said Jimmy

"well, then, I believe it's time to end this sparring match,"

Kami and Marian became excited as they watched, trying hard to be quiet. Sensei summoned his staff in a flash while the twins summoned their swords, taking stances. Sensei charged his energy into his Bo-staff, whirling around him as he attempted many times to strike them, but their swords parried his attacks.

"our turn!" Said Billy,"

As the twins attacked, bringing Azaka and Kamidake down on Sensei, he blocked then deflected them. As Sensei attempted a counter-attack, he swung his staff at them, but Billy dodged while Jimmy stopped it with his sword. Trying to hit Sensei, Billy tried to slash him, but he still managed to avoid a hit as he leaped away.

"impressive, but I think it's time to end this lesson,"

Embedding the bottom of his bo-staff into the ground, Sensei's hand began glowing with his energy along with his bo-staff as it was absorbing his energy. While Marian and Kami were both intrigued and confused by what they saw. They saw that Billy and Jimmy knew what was happening, and they jumped away. Getting some distance between them and him.

"oh, it's on now!" said Billy

Both brothers gripped the hilts of the swords with both hands as they began glowing like Sensei. The energy started flowing into Azaka and Kamidake as their blades began burning. Picking up his staff, Sensei started to point it at Billy and Jimmy as the two looked ready to take on whatever he would throw at them. With one wrist twist, the energy stored in his bo-staff fired at Billy and Jimmy, taking the form of a dragon as it flew toward them.

"right back at ya!" roared Jimmy.

Both Billy and Jimmy swung their swords, unleashing the energy stored in both as they also took the form of dragons flying to clash with Sensei's dragon. As the dragons fought, it seemed like both Billy's and Jimmy's energy was going to push through as they started pushing Sensei's power back. Still, the dragon made from Sensei's power broke through to not just Billy and Jimmy's shock. But Marian and Kami's as they watched them get hit by the blast knocking them to the ground and leaving them cold.

"Billy!" cried Marian

"Jimmy!" called Kami

Moments Later

Waking up, the two found themselves lying on mats before sitting up, massaging their foreheads to ease their headaches.

"guess he beat us… again," said a disappointed Billy

"you guys are up," said Marian

The twins saw Marian and Kami standing by them, happy to see them awake to their surprise.

"How did you two get here?" asked a surprised Jimmy.

"Allow me to answer," said Sensei.

Looking over, everyone saw Sensei coming across the bridge holding two cups of tea before handing one cup each to Billy and Jimmy.

"how long were we out this time?"

"only 30 minutes; your friends have been berating me since I brought you two here to rest in our infirmary,"

"you could have killed them!" berated Marian

"Relax, Marian, we're fine; his weapon was in its phantom form. Our lives weren't in any danger," explained Billy

"phantom form?"

"See for yourselves," said Sensei

Summoning his Bo-staff, Sensei showed the girls what Billy meant as he revealed that his staff was translucent.

"All of our weapons have two forms, phantom and solid; in phantom, no damage can be fatal. All damage done in this form drains the opponent's energy and solid does the opposite," explained Billy

"Okay, fine, you can't kill, now on how we got down here?" asked Marian

"yeah, the scanner was gone, said Kami

"I removed it," explained Sensei

"why?"

"I came up with a more mystic solution." Said Sensei, materializing a scroll in his hand and opening it; it showed all their names written down.

"what's that?"

"This scroll is part of a chi spell I placed on the restaurant and dojo; as the owner of both, I have the authority to give access to the dojo to those I deem trustworthy; their names appear on this scroll, then all you need to do is be in the restaurant and desire to enter the dojo," explained Sensei

"so that ring of fire is?" asked Marian

"is what transports you to the entrance of the dojo; in the future, however. I recommend doing it in the back instead of the kitchen,"

"Okay, so how do we leave the dojo?" asked Kami

Suddenly the ring of fire appeared around Kami before she teleported back into the kitchen, catching everyone but Sensei by surprise.

"like that," Sensei explained

"I'll get her," said Jimmy as he disappeared too.

"Okay, we've got a lot to take care of before patrol tonight; we better get started by the way your orders are sitting outside," informed Marian

Using his staff, Sensei tapped the ground creating a magic circle before it disappeared.

"what just?"

"you'll see," said Billy before he disappeared.

"Wait, before I go, I wanted to ask you,….is there any chance you could help me get some monofilament wire? I've been working on a project, and"

"William already informed me it will be here tonight, and I'll have him bring it to you tomorrow,"

"thank you, sir; I better catch up with the other," she said before disappearing

Marian instantly teleported back into the kitchen, with the others waiting for her, and all of the supplies sitting in front were gone though no one was bothered.

"Good, now that we're all here, we can get down to business," said Marian

"uh, maybe we should discuss this on our way back to our apartment," commented Kami

"fine,"

As everyone returned to the apartments, Billy and Jimmy explained their findings or lack thereof. However, they still expressed their certainty that they were involved in the smuggling.

"There has to be something we're not seeing," said Billy

"I bet my shed that the crap used to make it was there," said Marian

"Well, if it was, it wasn't like we could sneak around; the place was locked down," replied Jimmy

"Well, once the others are done "upgrading" the base, we can come up with a plan to find the outgoing supplies,"

Arriving at the apartment building, they first visited Tommy to inform her they were back.

"Hey, Tommy, sorry we rushed off without finishing," said Billy

"don't worry about it; Kami already told me you two went to start renovating your restaurant," replied Tommy, "oh, I almost forgot I picked these up for you two, so you don't have to worry about it," she said handing them each a box of garbage bags

Later

As the twins cleaned up the last of the trash, this time being assisted by Kami and Marian, they began discussing what should be their targets for tonight.

"I say we take out another small-time gang like the goblins," Jimmy said.

"speaking of them, I heard on the news they all escaped from the hospital last night," informed Marian.

"wait, all of them!?" asked a surprised Jimmy.

"yeah, the hospital just found dummies in their beds,"

"Relax, bro, considering the types of beatings you can dish out, I doubt they'll cause any trouble for a while,"

"That's just it, I laid those fools out; there's no way some of them could have just walked out, let alone all of them sneak out by themselves," rationed Jimmy

"you think something else happened?" asked Kami

"I'm sure of it,"

"Maybe they were taken by another gang?" said Billy

"But why? The goblins are the weakest of the lesser gangs. that's why they hid inside the park and walled it off, to protect themselves from the other gangs they steal from," replied Marian

"revenge?" said Kami

"Maybe, but think about it, they're beaten and battered, and their territory was taken with no chance in hell of them getting it back. Why waste energy on what's left of them in a hospital when it would be better to leave them humiliated? I mean, I'd be more focused on making sure my gang gets their territory," said Jimmy

"Unless they were still useful for something," replied Billy

"like what?" asked Marian

Before they could discuss any more, a nasal voice laughing interrupted them. To Kami, Marian and Jimmy's frustration and Billy's confusion. Everyone saw it was Mandy standing on her balcony looking smugly at them.

"oh well, look at you. Must be the other brother; gotta say you're a lot cuter than Jammy over here,"

"Billy, just ignore her," instructed Marian

"Whatever, so fatty, I see you didn't understand our little understanding last night,"

"understanding?" asked Jimmy

"Well, since Fatty can't understand English, maybe you can. I told her to stay away from you, and that applies to you too, blondie,"

"Since when do you have any say on who we speak to, lady," said Billy.

"Since I can, besides a couple of hunks like you should be with a woman, not little girls,"

"you really think you're untouchable," replied Marian

"I know I am because anyone who crosses me answers to my brothers,"

"Whatever," replied the twins rolling their eyes

"Excuse me?"

"look, we don't have time to waste on you," replied Billy

"So here's the new deal, don't bother Kami or us, and we won't have any problems," finished Jimmy.

Mandy was now visibly upset as she gave death glares at both Billy and Jimmy, who were unfazed.

"my brothers will hear about this; in the meantime, since you like trash so much. Let me add to the fun," she said, walking back into her apartment,

Mandy reappeared, holding a large garbage bag before tossing it at Kami.

"think fast, fatty,"

Before the bag could hit her, it was caught by Jimmy, who then tossed it over to the trash pile before giving mandy a death glare. Unlike Jimmy, Mandy was intimidated as she slowly backed away back into her apartment.

"bitch," said Marian

"She's not worth it, but thanks for catching it, and Jimmy, thank you," thanked Kami.

"no problem,"

After finishing the rest of the cleanup and informing Tommy, the group headed to Billy and Jimmy's apartment to help them clean. At the same time, Jimmy discussed his desire to investigate the missing goblin gang.

"you really think this is vital, Jimmy? Asked Marian, "I mean, you said it yourself; they're beaten. Even if another gang took them, what you use would they have for them,"

"sensei says never disregard any foe, especially a defeated one," replied Billy

"still, a defeated gang that went missing feels like a too-small problem now," said Marian. "besides, we should be figuring out how the drugs are being transported out of the city instead of tracking down a loser gang,"

"I'd rather this "small problem" now not become a big problem later," argued Jimmy

"Look, they're just thugs; we should focus on bringing down the shadow warriors; if we take down the shadow warriors' supply chain. We'll deal a heavy blow to them and maybe even crime bosses in different cities. Marian argued back.

Both Kami and Billy sense that these conflicting priorities are about to start an argument, so they decide to nip it in the bud. Grabbing Jimmy's hand Kami pulled him towards the door, telling him that there were a few programs that she had been working on she wanted to show him. Once they were gone, Marian began asking Billy why Jimmy wanted to waste time on it.

"what's with him? Taking down the shadows should be our priority,"

"relax, Marian, he knows that, but he likes making sure his actions don't lead to more trouble,"

"I don't see how it can,"

"Marian, if you and the rest of the Power Corp. took down a whole gang and sent them to a hospital, only to find out they disappeared the next day. Wouldn't that make you a bit curious about what happened?"

"okay… okay, fine, you both have a point; I guess I should go, apologies,"

"Nah, let the two love birds have some time to themselves,"

Back in Kami's Apartment, while Kami sat on her computer to start it up, Jimmy stood by, seeing right through to why she brought him up here.

"my computer is almost ready,"

"you didn't have to bring me up here to stop me and Marian from arguing,"

"I know, I just didn't want to see you guys fight; also, I know Marian is acting a little one track, but it's because of you and Billy she finally feels we have a chance to beat the shadow warriors,"

"I get it, but still, just because the Shadow Warriors are our primary objective doesn't mean we should disregard the lesser gangs,"

"I know and she knows; maybe you two can compromise,"

"we'll see,"

"Good, now let me show you some of my work,"

Kami began showing demos of a few projects she had started; one seemed to stand out to Jimmy from all her programs.

"a legend dex?"

"well, after meeting you and your brother, I figured it would be an excellent idea to have a database on other supernatural beings,"

"not bad,"

"thank you,"

"Maybe when you're ready, Billy and I can help by giving you information,"

"Really? Thank you,"

Hearing Jimmy's approval for her programs gave Kami a boost and she couldn't wait to finish them at the Power Corp. HQ. Getting up from her chair. Kami hugged Jimmy showing her appreciation before kissing him on the cheek before a realization suddenly hit her.

"wait, how are you going to look into it?" asked Kami "mean interrogation won't work; if you were to interrogate someone who knows nothing. they could warn those who do, plus there be no way to tell if they're telling the truth."

"all good points, which is why I already have a solution
