Chapter 6: The Samurai Guardian
As Jackie Chan and company left from the airport, Uncle got out his dead lizard and made his locating chi spell.
"Déjà vu all over again" said Beast Boy as he got his backpack ready.
"Come on" said Raven as she sighed, "let's get this over with."
As they hiked up the mountains to where the temple was located, the Dark Hand along with the Earth, Wind, Water and Sky Demons and Doloan Wong were at the temple first.
"So what's the plan this time to ambush them?" asked Ratso to Shendu.
"Like before" replied Shendu in Valmont's body, "my demon brothers and sisters will be the ones occupying the Titans' time. While we like usual go inside and release the demon with the scroll."
"I believe this time the scroll is that of the Mountain Demon" said Doloan as he walked to the temple with the Dark Hand.
A few minutes later, the Titans arrived along with Jackie, Slade, Tohru, Jade and Uncle. It seemed like they were the first ones there.
"Are we really the first ones here again?" asked Jade.
After Jade made that comment, some water from nowhere sprayed Cyborg, sending him crashing into a tree.
"That's a big no" replied Robin as he got into his fighting stance, "everybody, be on your feet."
Suddenly the Earth Demon was sneaking up on them from behind while he was digging underground. As the Earth Demon popped up behind them, Raven used her powers and managed to throw the Earth Demon to the Water Demon, knocking them both down to the ground. The Sky Demon emerged and made his attack at them, but Starfire launched several star bolts at the Sky Demon, sending the Sky Demon falling to the ground.
"Go, head for the temple!" shouted Robin as he was fighting the Wind Demon who was trying to blow Robin away.
Jackie, Jade, Tohru, Uncle and Slade ran toward the entrance of the temple where of course they met a large statue of a samurai warrior.
"Can you come up with a chi spell to activate this temple guardian?" asked Slade.
"Certainly" replied Uncle, "Tohru, get the ingredients out right away."
"Of course sensei" said Tohru as he was getting out the ingredients from the backpack he was carrying.
"We'll head to the area where the scroll is located" said Jackie.
As Tohru and Uncle were preparing the chi spell to wake up the temple guardian from its sleep, Jackie, Jade and Slade raced down the hallway and saw Doloan Wong trying to grab the scroll from its parchment. Slade saw this and threw a small metal ball at Doloan's head.
"What are you five waiting for?" asked Doloan to the Dark Hand, "Get them!"
As the Dark Hand made their move on Jackie, Slade and Jade, Slade got in front of Jackie with his fighting rod.
"I can handle this" said Slade, "you two stop Doloan Wong from retrieving that scroll."
"Yea, yea we know" said Jade.
"I think we should come up with a plan to stop Doloan from getting that scroll off that parchment" said Jackie.
"Good idea" said Jade.
As Jackie went one way around the room, Jade went the other way. As they sneaked their way to Doloan Wong who was slowly reaching for the scroll, both Jackie and Jade leaped out of nowhere, getting Doloan Wong off guard, which gave Jackie the chance to leap and kick Doloan Wong to the temple floor.
"You'll pay for that!" shouted Doloan as he shook his fist and was getting himself up from the ground.
"That's what you think" said Jade as she leaped and kicked Doloan Wong across the temple floor and having him hit the wall.
"Not again" said Doloan as he was regaining consciousness from the attack.
"You'll never get your hands on another scroll!" shouted Jackie as he stood in front of the parchment.
"That's what you think" said Doloan as he started to raise his staff up high.
Doloan aimed his staff at both Jackie and Jade. He then fired several purple fireballs from the staff. Jackie and Jade did their best to dodge them. As they were dodging Doloan Wong's attacks, Uncle and Tohru had managed to finish their chi spell. The temple guardian woke up from its sleep.
"The forces of darkness are trying to steal the scroll" said Uncle as he pointed down the hallway.
"Don't worry" said the temple guardian, "I'll handle this. And oh, thank you good chi wizard for waking me up to tell me that."
As the samurai warrior made his way down the hallway, he noticed Slade having a difficult time fighting the Dark Hand.
"What's the matter?" asked Chow as he was fighting Slade, "Are you starting to sweat?"
"Not as much as how much you will be sweating" replied Slade as he pointed to the temple guardian walking down the hallway with his samurai sword drawn.
"That looks like one sharp sword" said Finn as he studied the samurai warrior, "let's bail!"
"Good idea" said Ratso.
"Where are you people going?" asked Shendu in Valmont's body.
"From the large samurai warrior coming down this way!" replied Chow as he was about to run down the hallway.
"Hak Foo agrees" said Hak Foo as he was joining Ratso, Finn and Chow, "big samurai coming this way. Run like a coward and fight another day!"
As the four ran down the hallway, the samurai warrior saw them as not a threat since they were running away from him. The temple guardian then walked toward the room where the scroll was and saw Jackie and Jade trying to dodge and hide from Doloan Wong while Shendu was making a charge at the samurai warrior. Shendu tried to punch the samurai warrior, but the samurai warrior dodged the punch and then knocked Shendu as hard as he can to the temple wall. Shendu then breathed some fire out of his mouth and the samurai warrior dodged it.
"You're going to have to do better than that" said the temple guardian as he stood his ground.
"I don't have to" said Shendu in Valmont's body as he was getting up, "my sister the Mountain Demon shall make you do it!"
"A little help over here!" shouted Jackie to the temple guardian as he was trying to dodge a purple fireball.
As the temple guardian made his way to Doloan Wong, Shendu saw his chance and started to sneak around the temple guardian. Shendu then proceeded by grabbing the scroll from the parchment.
"Hand over the scroll or else!" shouted the temple guardian as he drew his sword.
"Then try and catch it!" shouted Shendu in Valmont's body as he threw the scroll to Doloan Wong.
As Doloan Wong was about to grab the scroll when Jackie leaped into action and took the scroll as the scroll was about to land on Doloan's hand.
"Give me the scroll Chan!" shouted Shendu in Valmont's body.
"Jackie, I'm open!" shouted Jade.
Jackie then threw the scroll to Jade and she caught it. As she was trying to run toward the parchment, Doloan then used his staff to trip Jade. Jade fell and Doloan Wong grabbed the scroll from the floor.
"No, stop him!" shouted the temple guardian to Jackie.
As Doloan Wong began to read the scroll like he did with the others, a strange light appeared after he finished muttering the chi spell. The strange light this time grew larger and larger enough for the Mountain Demon to emerge from the portal.
"I am finally free!" shouted the Mountain Demon from the top of her lungs.
"It's so good to see you again sister" said Shendu in Valmont's body.
"I hear fighting outside" said the Mountain Demon, "why was I not invited?"
"If you want to, go right out there and join the fun" replied Shendu in Valmont's body.
As the Mountain Demon walked from the room to the hallway and back outside, Jackie, Jade, Tohru and Uncle were shocked that she completely ignored them.
"That's one big demon" said Slade to Jackie.
"Yes" said Jackie, "the biggest one of them all."
Back outside, the Titans were eventually getting things under control as the other demons they were fighting were getting weaker even with the powers Trigon had given them. But suddenly the Titans could feel the ground shake below them. The Mountain Demon then emerged from the temple's entrance.
"It's about time" said the Sky Demon as he was getting up.
"What the heck is that?" asked Cyborg as he studied the Mountain Demon.
"That thing is huge" said Raven.
The Mountain Demon then smashed her fist to the ground. The Titans dodged the attack and scattered across the battlefield. The Mountain Demon then started to walk towards the Titans. Starfire then fired several star bolts at the Mountain Demon, while Cyborg fired both of his laser cannons at her. It only did minimal damage to the Mountain Demon.
"That was a mere tickle" said the Mountain Demon to Cyborg and Starfire.
Beast Boy then changed himself into a large long-neck dinosaur. He then used his tail and swung it at the Mountain Demon, sending her crashing against some trees, flattening them with her large body.
"You'll pay for that!" shouted the Mountain Demon as she got up.
The Mountain Demon then grabbed Beast Boy's neck and tried to throw him against the other Titans. Beast Boy immediately changed back to his human form, and Raven caught him as he was about to fall down to the ground with her powers. Doloan Wong along with the Dark Hand then came out of the temple.
"We have to find another type of chi spell to teleport her along with us" said Shendu in Valmont's body to Doloan.
"I know" said Doloan as he was searching his chi spell book, "I'm searching."
Doloan Wong then finally found the spell he was looking for.
"I don't think our hideout can be in San Fran anymore" said Finn as he looked at the large Mountain Demon.
"Don't worry" said Doloan, "I know the exact place to teleport us all."
As the demons along with the Dark Hand and Doloan Wong gathered in one place, Doloan started to chant his teleportation chi spell. Suddenly purple smoke started to emerge and go all around everybody in the area. As the purple smoke lifted, the demons, Doloan Wong and the Dark Hand were gone. The Titans regained their strength and recovered as Jackie, Jade, Uncle, Slade and Tohru came out of the temple.
"Not again" sighed Beast Boy.
"Even I am getting fed up here" said Raven.
"So am I" said Cyborg in a depressed voice.
"Come on people" said Jade trying to cheer everybody up, "we can't let these demons get away with trying to release Trigon from his prison."
"Jade is correct" said Uncle, "eventually we'll catch up to them. And oh, the temple guardian has told me the next location of the next scroll would be located in Antarctica."
"Dude, are you serious?" asked Beast Boy.
"The temple guardian never lies" replied Uncle.
"I just hope we don't have anymore demons getting out" said Raven.
"Come on" said Jackie, "we should try to head to Antarctica first. I'll see if Captain Black can get some more help while we are at it."
"I just hope Captain Black hasn't hired anymore of our foes" said Robin.
"You're lucky that you have me on your side this time" said Slade as they were walking back to the airport.
"Just because you are on our side now doesn't mean you won't be after this is over" said Raven.
