Chapter 7: Red X Returns Again
As Jackie Chan and company reached Section 13 to get ready to head to Antarctica, Captain Black called all of them back into the meeting room to devise up a strategy.
"We have to get to Antarctica" said Jackie to Captain Black, "that's where the next temple is located."
"Don't worry Jackie" said Captain Black, "this won't take long."
As Jackie, Jade, Uncle, Tohru, Slade and the Titans all sat down in their seats, Captain Black then sat on the seat at the end of the table.
"Now before we begin the meeting" said Captain Black as he pressed a button that was next to him, "I would like to add a new member to our team."
Suddenly a secret door opened up. There was Red X in handcuffs standing in the doorway with two Section 13 agents guarding him.
"We caught him trying to steal some zenothum" said Captain Black.
"You are asking him to join us now!" cried Robin.
"The dude drives us crazy" added Beast Boy.
"Even I don't like his kind" said Starfire.
"Yea, what she said" said Cyborg.
"Don't ask me why did you decide to add him to our team" said Raven.
"I believe Red X can even the odds" said Captain Black, "we are going to go easy on him. He can join you people to fight these demons with the supply of zenothum we give him."
"You got to be kidding me" said Cyborg.
"As much as I don't like this" said Jackie, "I think we need all the help we can get."
"Wow, what a cool costume" said Jade as she took a closer look at Red X.
"Thanks kid" said Red X, "glad that I stole it."
"Now come on" said Slade, "I think it's time we should get going. We don't want those forces of darkness to release another demon, right?"
"Slade is right" replied Uncle, "let this Red X join our team. It would make our efforts in slowing down Doloan Wong, those demons and the Dark Hand down."
After the meeting, Jackie and company then got onto a jet and took off for Antarctica. As the jet was making its way to Antarctica, the Dark Hand, the Wind, Earth, Water, Sky, Mountain and Earth demons along with Doloan Wong arrived at Antarctica.
"This place is cold" said Ratso as he placed his hands around his body trying to keep warm.
"Yea" said Chow as he could see his breath in the air.
"So how are you doing in getting that locating spell working big D?" asked Finn to Doloan.
"I'm going as fast as I can" replied Doloan, "but this weather in this place is making my concentration difficult."
"No problem" said Shendu in Valmont's body, "let me heat things up for you."
Shendu then started to breathe fire out of Doloan's mouth and melted the ice around Doloan.
"I think that would do" said Doloan as he was starting up his chi spell.
As the jet carrying Jackie and company landed, everybody got out. Uncle's dead lizard which he was carrying was starting to glow a bright yellow.
"We're getting warmer" said Uncle, "I can feel the temple is somewhere near this airport."
"Then we better move fast" said Jackie.
"Yea" said Cyborg, "we don't want that demon to be released."
"Or my butt to freeze" added Beast Boy.
"Does he always carry that thing around with him?" asked Red X to Raven.
"You mean that dead lizard?" replied Raven, "Then yes."
As Jackie and company struggled their way through the ice and snow, they finally made it to the temple's entrance.
"Tell me we're the first ones here" said Beast Boy as he begged down on his knees to pray.
A few seconds later and nothing happened to any members of Jackie's team.
"Nope, there doesn't seem to be anybody here" said Cyborg as he was scanning with his red eye.
"Then I say let's give them a taste of their own medicine" said Robin, "Jackie, you along with Slade, Jade, Uncle and Tohru head into the temple and probably use that chi shield spell around the parchment of the scroll. Red X along with me and the Titans shall distract and try to prevent them from getting in."
As Jackie, Uncle, Jade, Tohru and Slade made their way into the temple, the Dark Hand along with Doloan Wong, the Wind, Water, Earth, Sky and Mountain demons have all arrived.
"This is the place, right?" asked the Sky Demon to Doloan.
"Of course it is" replied Doloan, "I just hope we're the first ones here like always."
Suddenly Cyborg came out of his hiding place and fired his laser cannon at the Sky Demon, sending the Sky Demon across the ground and hitting some ice.
"You were saying?" asked the Sky Demon as he was getting himself up from the ground.
"Attack them!" shouted Shendu in Valmont's body as he ordered his brothers and sister to attack the Titans and Red X, "Doloan, Hak Foo, Chow, Finn, Ratso come with me."
As the Dark Hand and Doloan Wong raced into the temple, the Titans along with Red X began to fight the demons. Starfire fired several star bolts at the Sky Demon who was trying to close in on her. The star bolts then sent the Sky Demon crashing down to the ground. Beast Boy changed himself into a large long-neck dinosaur and began to battle the Mountain Demon by swinging his tail at her and trying to ram her to the ice. Robin was fighting the Wind Demon. The Wind Demon was trying to blow Robin away, but Robin then threw some explosives at the Wind Demon, which then sent him flying across the ground and hitting himself against a wall of ice. The Earth Demon was concentrating his attention against Raven, but Raven used her powers to reveal the Earth Demon's attempted sneak attack on her. She then gave some body slams and then threw the Earth Demon at the Wind Demon who was trying to get up. Cyborg was having some trouble with the Water Demon. Every time Cyborg fired his laser cannon at her, she would always regenerate. Red X then leaped in to back up Cyborg by firing a large red x at the Water Demon, sending her crashing down to the ground.
Back inside the temple Doloan was shocked to see the area around the parchment closed off by a large chi shield.
"Are you impressed?" asked Uncle as he was in back of him.
"You shall pay for this chi wizard!" replied Doloan, "Just because you have prevented me from reading the scroll for the Moon Demon doesn't mean that I have a counter spell that would destroy that chi shield."
"Don't worry" said Shendu in Valmont's body as he signaled the rest of the Dark Hand to come at his side, "we shall keep everybody busy."
As Shendu and the Dark Hand began fighting Jackie, Tohru and Slade, Doloan was busy searching through his chi spell book. He finally came to the page where it showed a chi spell to destroy a chi shield.
"Ha, here it is!" shouted Doloan as he pointed his finger at it.
Jade knew what was going on as she saw Doloan muttering the chi spell words from his chi spell book. She then raced toward Doloan and slammed the book on his finger.
"Why you little!" shouted Doloan as he was recovering from having a smashed finger.
Doloan then took out his staff and aimed it at Jade. Jade then started to dodge the fireballs coming out of Doloan's staff and finally went behind Uncle.
"So, you want a fight?" asked Uncle as he prepared his dead lizard, "Then let's fight!"
As Uncle prepared his chi spell, a green light appeared around the dead lizard. A green beam was then fired from the dead lizard, at the same time; Doloan used his staff to fire a purple beam against the green beam. As the two beams struggled, Doloan was then muttering his chi spell words even louder and finally managed to over power Uncle. The force of Doloan's staff knocked Uncle to the wall of the temple.
"You're getting old for your act" said Doloan as he grabbed the book from Jade.
Doloan then found the page and began reading the chi spell. He then aimed his staff at the chi shield. As he continued to mutter the words of the chi spell, a blue light appeared from Doloan's staff and it hits the chi shield. After the blue light hits the chi shield, the chi shield is destroyed. Doloan then starts to walk forward toward the parchment and then grabs the scroll. It then awakes the temple guardian which is made full of ice. The large temple guardian like all the times before starts to make its way toward the area where the scroll is located. As Doloan begins to read the scroll, the temple guardian enters the room and then begins to fire ice at the Dark Hand. The members of the Dark Hand try to dodge the ice.
"I am getting fed up about this" said Shendu in Valmont's body.
Shendu then started to fire several fireballs from his hands at the temple guardian. The temple guardian then started to melt a little, but then started to regenerate the ice.
"Your powers would have worked" said the temple guardian, "if I didn't have the power to regenerate ice."
As Doloan Wong was finished reading the scroll, a strange light appeared from the scroll. The light started to grow larger and larger until the Moon Demon appeared.
"I am free!" shouted the Moon Demon.
"It's about time" replied Shendu in Valmont's body.
"Although I don't like to see my old foes right here" said the Moon Demon, "I hear fighting outside, time to have some fun."
The Moon Demon then started to make his way outside the temple. There he noticed that his brothers and sisters were having a difficult time with the Titans and Red X.
"This shall make things much easier for you my siblings!" announced the Moon Demon as he lifted his arms up high.
Suddenly before the Titans' and Red X's eyes, they were floating in the air thanks to the Moon Demon's powers. The Moon Demon then used his powers and then threw the Titans and Red X into the snow. Doloan Wong along with the Dark Hand then came out of the temple.
"Come" said Doloan to the Moon Demon, "we have two more temples to visit."
"Oh goodie" said the Moon Demon as he followed Doloan Wong and the others away from the temple.
"And I get to have my body back" said Shendu in Valmont's body.
As the Dark Hand, the demons and Doloan Wong left, Jackie along with Slade, Uncle, Jade and Tohru came out of the temple. The Titans and Red X were trying to get themselves out from the snow which the Moon Demon had thrown them in.
"What happen?" asked Cyborg.
"I didn't know that demon could do that" said Beast Boy as he was trying to get some snow out of his ears.
"We should hurry" said Robin, "we have to stop them from releasing Trigon."
"Don't worry" said Uncle, "the temple guardian has told me the next location. It's going to be in the ruins of Carthage."
"Then we better get there quickly" said Jackie.
"So this is why you are so great?" asked Red X to Robin.
"Don't rub it in" replied Robin, "we're just having a rough time."
