Chapter 4: First Battle and Changes

Shendu had a sudden feeling of discomfort. He was sensing Chan approaching his palace from somewhere...

"Shendu, what's wrong? Why are you shaking like that?" asked Chad.

growls "I am not shaking!" yelled Shendu.

"Well it looks like that to me..." Chad shrugged

Meanwhile, Chan was in one of Section 13's best jets, on his way to the location of Shendu's palace.

"Uncle, I thought Shendu could never return... And now this weird boy shows up with strange powers and breaks him out!" said Jackie.

Uncle gave Jackie a 2-fingered smack "Shendu and boy not important!"

"Ow! But Uncle, how can they not be important?!"

"What is important, is how we shall stop them both, and how to free that boy of Shendu's dark chi..."

"Dark chi? How could Shendu give someone powers, when he's been locked up in Section 13 for so long without seeing anyone?"

"Uncle wishes he knew, but I do not... Jackie, we must not let Shendu succeed in whatever he has planned."

"I know Uncle..."

Jade then came out from hiding in a storage box above the seats of the plane.

"Hey Jackie." she said.

"Bwha! Jade?! How did you... never mind, you always show up either way..." Jackie said.

"So how are ya gonna kick Shendu's butt this time? We could always have the J-Team..."

"No Jade, no one else can know about this, because we have no idea as to what Shendu is planning."

"Hmph. I still say the J-Team'd beat him..."

Back at the palace, things were starting to change for Chad a bit.

"What is the matter with you?" said Shendu.

"I don't feel very good... I can't explain it..."

"Well I suggest you start feeling good soon; Chan will be here any time now, I can feel his awful presence..." Shendu hissed.

Chad groaned "My stomach hurts..."

Shendu sighed "You humans are weak..." he put his hand on Chad's stomach and healed him

"Now don't say I haven't done any favors to you!" Shendu grumbled.

"Thanks Shendu... It does feel better." Chad grinned.

"Now we must get ready, if we are to defeat Chan once and for all..." said Shendu.

"Alright. Since I understand most of your powers, I'm ready to use them, and for some reason, I feel like I can use them longer this time..."

"Hmm... That might happen, the more you use the powers I mean."

Minutes later, the jet arrived at the valley where Shendu's palace resided. Jackie, along with Uncle and Jade, rushed toward the palace.

"Jade, you stay right here, and don't move." said Jackie sternly.

"Awww....." she sighed.

Uncle and Jackie found and met Shendu and Chad, who were ready to battle.

"So, Chans... you arrive yet again to attempt to hinder my plans.... However, you have no idea how powerful we are now... Heh heh...." said Shendu as he hissed.

"Shendu! You will be sorry!" said Uncle.

"Well, neither of you two know about me yet, so why not let me introduce myself? I'm Chad, and you won't hurt Shendu anymore!"

Chad focused his powers and became invisible, and went on to attack.

"Agh!" Chad fired a fire attack at Jackie, who dodged it.

Just then Chad's cell phone rang. He stopped abruptly and answered it.

"Who is this?!"

"..." Chad suddenly started to shake and dropped the phone on the ground.

"What now? You try to kill me then you stop for phone calls?" said Jackie.

"My....father is.....dead. An American police officer called from...where my father was at his business meeting... A bomb went off and, everyone in the building is gone.... It's all...your fault!!!! ALL YOUR FAULT!!!"

Chad lunged at Jackie and attacked him crazily with all his might, and knocked Jackie unconscious. With fire in his eyes, he immediately went for Uncle...

"Ugh!" Chad fell back.

"You are a victim of Shendu's dark chi! It has caused you to want more aggressive action taken, especially toward Shendu's enemies...." said Uncle.

"Why can't I attack you?!"

"Chi spell. Good magic, unlike Shendu's dark magic."

"Dark is just a word! You can't say Shendu's powers are bad, just because you don't agree with them!"

Shendu had been chanting a spell unknown to Chad and Uncle the entire time, and something was happening to Chad.

"What's.......happening.....to me!!??" He yelled in pain and fell down, and lost consciousness.

Hours later, Chad awoke to Shendu, and they were inside his palace.

"Shendu, where are those people?"

"I have no idea, the old man used some spell to cause him and Chan to disappear..." Shendu said and handed Chad a mirror.

"What's this for?"

"Just look at yourself... you might say you've....changed..."

Chad looked and found himself.... to look exactly like Shendu! He had become a dragon.

"Sss...Shendu?! What did you do to me?!"

"You don't find this change, and improvement? Heh heh..."

"Well..... I guess I could like it... I look just like you..."

"And Chad, you were wondering why you felt odd? And why the powers felt like you could use them longer?"

"Yes..."

"Well, that is because I had been using the dragon spell on you since then. Now, you have full control over all the powers I have, and you aren't limited to use them. You have dragon's magic within you..."

"...And a dragon's appetite... I'm kinda hungry... And Shendu?"

"Yes?"

"Can...can I call you... 'Dad'?"

"....Yes you can..."
