Chapter 5: The Big Footed Guardian
As the jet carrying the Titans, Slade, Jackie, Jade, Tohru and Uncle finally reached the Rocky Mountains. As they stepped out of the plane, Uncle got his dead lizard along with his locating chi spell ready.
"Do you have to use that every time?" asked Raven.
"You want to stop your father from being released from his prison?" asked Uncle, "Then let Uncle use the locator chi spell!"
"We should probably this time get at the temple first before the Dark Hand, Doloan Wong and the demons do" said Jackie as he was putting his backpack on his shoulders.
As they started to hike up the mountains, the dead lizard Uncle was holding in his hand was starting to glow a bright yellow glow like last time. As they approached the temple's entrance, a Native American chief along with some of his men went right in front of them.
"I must protest that you are trespassing on our land" said the Native American chief.
"Look, Uncle is a chi wizard" said Uncle, "we need to pass through and stop the forces of darkness from getting that scroll in that temple!"
"That is considered sacred ground" replied the Native American chief, "I am sorry, but you are going to have to give me some proof that these forces of darkness you speak really do exist. Otherwise my men will not see you as legit."
"We can take them on" said Slade to Jackie, "come on."
"I'm sorry" said Jackie, "we must respect their ways."
"You want proof?" asked a familiar voice.
Suddenly Doloan Wong along with the Dark Hand, the Wind, Water and Sky Demons appeared right behind the Native American chief and his men.
"Okay, you have made your point" said the Native American chief as he and his men started to run for their lives.
"Titans, go!" shouted Robin as he took out his fighting rod.
"You know what to do" said the Water Demon to Shendu, Doloan Wong and the Dark Hand.
"Yea, yea" said Finn, "we know the routine."
As the Dark Hand, Shendu and Doloan Wong went into the temple, Jackie, Jade, Tohru, Slade and Uncle like the last time went inside as well. As they reached the main room, Slade decided it was time to stop the Dark Hand and their allies in their tracks, so he threw some explosives at them. The explosives then sent them flying across the floor and hitting the wall.
"Is everybody alright?" asked Shendu in Valmont's body.
"Just fine over here" replied Chow as he was getting up.
"That wasn't fair, even for me" said Jackie to Slade.
"Yea" added Jade, "we don't do things like that."
"You want to stop them from retrieving the scroll do you?" asked Slade, "Then let me handle these things."
"Tohru, we need to make a chi spell that will create a shield around the scroll" said Uncle, "that way the Dark Hand or anybody else won't be able to retrieve the scroll."
"I'll get to it right away" said Tohru.
As Uncle and Tohru were racing down the hallway to the room where the scroll of the Earth Demon was located, Shendu noticed it and attempted to try to follow them. As he was about to walk toward the hallway, Slade leaped in front of Shendu.
"You're not going anywhere" said Slade as he took out his fighting rod.
"Hak Foo!" shouted Shendu in Valmont's body, "Get to the room where the scroll is located. Protect Doloan Wong as well! The rest of the Dark Hand and I will handle this lone fighter."
"What do we do?" asked Jackie to Slade as Slade was fighting Shendu, Chow, Finn and Ratso.
"Stop Doloan Wong and Hak Foo from preventing Uncle and Tohru to create that chi shield around the parchment of the scroll" said Slade.
As Jackie and Jade raced down the hallway, Hak Foo stood in the way of Jackie.
"You won't get through me Chan!" shouted Hak Foo.
Hak Foo then launched his attack against Jackie. Jackie dodged Hak Foo's punches and kicks.
"Jackie, what do I do?" asked Jade.
"You have to stop Doloan Wong" replied Jackie.
As Jackie continued to fight with Hak Foo, Jade raced down the hallway and entered the room where the scroll was. She could see Tohru unconscious on the ground and Uncle fighting Doloan Wong.
"That scroll is mine chi wizard" said Doloan.
"That's what you think" said Uncle.
Jade then decided to pick up a rock and throw it at Doloan Wong. The rock then hits Doloan's head and he turns to her.
"So, you want to challenge me?" asked Doloan to Jade.
"I'm not afraid of you!" replied Jade.
"Oh, you will be" said Doloan, "just look at what I did to your friend Tohru."
Jade then starts to dodge the fireballs from Doloan's staff. She then leaps behind Doloan and then goes behind Uncle and starts to approach the scroll.
"Stay away from that scroll!" shouted Doloan.
"Jade, don't remove that scroll!" shouted Uncle.
Jade then accidentally knocks the scroll off its parchment. As Slade, Shendu and the Dark Hand were fighting in the main room, the statue in the main room which was a big foot started to wake up.
"That's what a big foot looks like?" asked Chow.
"Looks to me like some big ape" replied Ratso.
As the temple guardian woke up from its sleep, it started to walk down toward the hallway where the room of the scroll was located. Its large feet made the ground shake. As the temple guardian finally made it to the room, Tohru got up and was shocked to see the large temple guardian. But instead it was more interested in the scroll that was lying on the ground.
"You have trespassed on sacred ground!" shouted the temple guardian, "Explain yourselves!"
"Explain this!" shouted Shendu in Valmont's body.
Shendu then delivered a fireball at the temple guardian. The temple guardian then turns its attention to Shendu, the Dark Hand and Slade.
"What the heck did you do that for?" asked Slade to Shendu.
"I wanted to get its attention" replied Shendu in Valmont's body.
Then Slade got out his communicator.
"Titans, the temple guardian has woken from its sleep" said Slade on his communicator.
"We're sort of busy!" shouted Robin on the other line as he was fighting the Sky Demon.
"Yea" said Cyborg as he was firing his laser cannon at the Wind Demon, "can we do this sometime when we're not this busy?"
As Doloan Wong raced toward the scroll, Jade kicked the scroll to Uncle. Uncle then picked it up and was about place it back on the parchment. But Doloan fired a purple fireball from his staff, knocking Uncle down to the floor.
"I'll take this" said Doloan as he grabbed the scroll in his hand.
Doloan then began to read the scroll. As he was reading it a strange light like before started to appear. As the light grew larger, the Earth Demon started to emerge from the portal.
"I am finally free, again!" shouted the Earth Demon.
At the same time, the temple guardian froze in action, knowing that it could not face the Earth Demon. As the Earth Demon walked down the hallway, he noticed Shendu along with the Dark Hand who were fighting Slade and Jackie and Hak Foo fighting each other.
"I am pleased you have been released from your prison" said Shendu in Valmont's body.
"Where are the rest of my demon brothers and sisters?" asked the Earth Demon.
"Right outside" said Shendu in Valmont's body.
As the Earth Demon made his way outside the temple, the Titans stood in motion as they were shocked to see the Earth Demon.
"Dude, what the heck is this?" asked Beast Boy.
"That would be my brother the Earth Demon" replied the Water Demon, "and he's about to teach you Titans a lesson."
Suddenly as the Titans were about to get ready to charge at the Earth Demon, the Earth Demon suddenly vanished into the ground and started to charge at the Titans. Raven noticed this and used her powers to reveal the Earth Demon by bringing him up from the ground.
"Now, hit him before he hides again!" shouted Raven as she was trying to hold the Earth Demon with her powers.
Cyborg fired his laser cannon at the Earth Demon, sending him crashing to the ground. Starfire then started to fire several star bolts and the star bolts hit the Earth Demon, sending him back into the temple.
"What are you waiting for?" asked the Wind Demon, "Let's go help our dear brother out!"
The Wind Demon started to gather up the air around him and started to blow at the Titans. The Titans managed to stand their ground. Beast Boy then changed himself into a gofer and dug his way under the Wind Demon. Then he popped out on the other side and changed himself into a spinosaurous. He then gave a loud roar right behind the Wind Demon. The Wind Demon turned around and was shocked to see Beast Boy had successfully snuck behind him.
"You're going to regret you have done that!" shouted the Wind Demon.
As the Wind Demon and Beast Boy began to fight, the Water Demon along with the Sky Demon made their attack against the other Titans. Cyborg started to fire both his laser cannons at the Sky Demon, sending the Sky Demon crashing into some trees. Robin then leaped and kicked the Water Demon, but the Water Demon then dodged the attack. She then sprayed some water at Robin, sending Robin crashing down to the ground. Starfire then started to fire her star bolts again, but at the Water Demon. The Water Demon then turned to water as the star bolts started to hit her.
"I'm getting quite annoyed about this!" shouted the Water Demon, "Where's Doloan Wong, Shendu and the Dark Hand?"
"Yea, I would like to know that" said the Sky Demon as he was getting up from the ground.
Suddenly Doloan Wong along with the Dark Hand were racing out of the temple with Slade trying to attack them as they were retreating.
"Yea, you better run!" shouted Slade as he shook his fist at them.
"Uh, Slade, they're trying to escape" said Jade.
"I know that" said Slade, "I just like to shake my fists at my enemy."
Suddenly Doloan Wong along with the Dark Hand gathered along with the Earth, Wind, Water and Sky Demons. Like before, Doloan Wong started his teleportation spell and they vanished like before.
"Great, another mission failed" said Beast Boy.
"I'm getting sort of tired of this myself" said Starfire.
"I know what temple they will strike at next" said the temple guardian as he made his entrance to the scene, "they're going to head to the temple that's located in northern Japan."
"Then we need to get there before they do" said Uncle.
"I'll get Captain Black to have us get to Japan" said Jackie.
"I hope this time we finally stop them from retrieving another scroll" said Slade, "you know we don't want another demon to be released."
"Then we have to be ready for it" said Robin.
