Chapter 6: Hatching a Scheme
It was a few hours since Hannibal Roy Bean had succeeded in gaining the knowledge of the four special Shen Gong Wu disguised as the Te Xuan Ze thanks to his Moby Morpher. Jack Spicer was pacing around the chest while his remaining Jackbots were guarding the entrance of the secret hideout along with Wuya.
"What's taking old Hannibal?" asked Jack as he opened the chest and looked at the special Shen Gong Wu.
"Patience Jack" replied Wuya as she slammed the chest right on his fingers, "I'm sure he'll come."
"Ouch, that hurt!" cried Jack as he was trying to stop the pain by waving his hands.
"Would you like some bandages?" asked a Jackbot as it came toward its inventor.
"Uh, sure" replied Jack.
The Jackbot then began wrapping Jack's injured hands which Wuya had crushed by slamming the chest on them. It did indeed hurt Jack pretty badly, but then as the wrappings of the bandages were finished, Davy Jones along with the four large black dragons came into the scene all beaten up.
"You call that an injury?" asked Jones observing the bandages around Jack Spicer's hand.
"That really hurt!" cried Jack, "So what happen to you?"
"We got beat up by the Te Xuan Ze, that's what!" replied the head black dragon as he began to approach, "But I think I still have some energy left that can take you down."
"You got beat up by a girl?!" replied Jack in such an astonishment then he began to laugh at the five, "I can't believe you five lost to a girl!"
"Hey watch who you are calling a girl" said Wuya as she slapped Jack on his back.
"Hey, that hurt to" said Jack as he was trying to recover from Wuya's surprise attack.
"Boys and girls" said Hannibal as he finally entered the scene, "there shouldn't be any need to fight each other."
"It's about time that you have returned" said Wuya, "so what knowledge have you brought us about the new special Shen Gong Wu?"
"Well the good news for us is that we now know four of the special Shen Gong Wu" replied Hannibal, "the bad news is that we don't know the rest."
"Four of the special Shen Gong Wu should do plenty of damage" said Jones.
"Now let's see" said Hannibal as he hopped over to the chest and took out the four special Shen Gong Wu and laid them on the ground. He then hopped to one that looked like some sort of belt, "this is the belt of ultimate strength. It may provide us with enough strength to even defeat the Xiaolin warriors and their new ally, the Te Xuan Ze."
"Hmm, interesting" said Wuya as she observed the belt.
"I want to try it" said Jack, "I should be the one to deserve it."
"That's just fine" said Hannibal as he hands it to Jack, "I think as a wimp such as yourself, it may come in handy."
"So what else you have found out?" asked Jones.
"This is the ring of invulnerability" replied Hannibal as he showed Jones the ring. Then he hopped over to a strange staff, "this is the staff I have been looking for. The Black Hole Staff which would enable us to enter the realm of those elders who oversee the Te Xuan Ze along with the power of the magical realm itself."
"So what's that strange bracelet?" asked the head black dragon.
"That there my friend is the Multi Bracelet" replied Hannibal, "you can combine and amplify the power of any normal Shen Gong Wu."
"So what do you propose we should do?" asked Wuya.
"I say we draw those Xiaolin monks and their Te Xuan Ze ally into a trap" replied Hannibal, "we can send them to the realm where those elders reside and there us the special Shen Gong Wu and the magic around that realm, amplify its power and boom, no more Xiaolin monks or the Te Xuan Ze to worry about."
As Hannibal and the rest began laughing, a pigeon which was really another one of Chase Young's spies oversaw Hannibal's plans. It then flew over several buildings along through a few alleyways and finally landed on Chase Young's wrist.
"So Hannibal and his comrades think they can retrieve the power of the magical realm?" asked Chase as he was observing Hannibal's plans through the pigeon's eye, "Looks like it's time for me to warn those Xiaolin monks and their Te Xuan Ze ally."
Chase then leaves the scene along with the pigeon which has now landed on his shoulder. While Chase was heading toward the sight of the Xiaolin monks and their Te Xuan Ze ally, the Xiaolin monks, Master Monk Guan and the Te Xuan Ze were still assessing the damage Hannibal Roy Bean had done along with trying to catch up and find those special Shen Gong Wu before Hannibal his comrades the right knowledge to use the special Shen Gong Wu.
"This isn't going to turn out so well" sighed Clay as he was continuing to follow the group.
"I know what you mean" said June, "it's suppose to be my duty to prevent such deadly magical items like what those Shen Gong Wu or whatever they are called from falling into the wrong hands."
"Don't feel so bad for yourself" said Omi, "we had fallen for Hannibal's tricks many times."
"We shouldn't beat ourselves up" said Master Monk Guan, "we still have a chance to retrieve those special Shen Gong Wu before those who would misuse it can do any damage."
"Master Monk Guan is right" said Kimiko, "we have to at least try our best."
"Somehow having someone like Hannibal Roy Bean gaining the knowledge of those special Shen Gong Wu, I think the wisest thing to do is not to go against him" said Raimundo.
"I believe I can help you monks and your Te Xuan Ze friend on how to defeat Hannibal and his plans" said a familiar voice behind the group.
As the Xiaolin warriors and the Te Xuan Ze turned around, they noticed Chase Young with a pigeon sitting on his shoulder.
"I can help you defeat Hannibal" said Chase.
"Why should we trust you?" asked June.
"Wasn't I the one who was right about Hannibal trying to gain the knowledge of the special Shen Gong Wu and you people ignored me by your own free will?" asked Chase.
"I think we should give my former friend a chance" replied Master Monk Guan.
"Thank you old friend" said Chase as he began to walk toward the Xiaolin monks and their Te Xuan Ze ally, "Hannibal Roy Bean and his comrades are planning to send you to the magical realm where the elders oversee the actions of Miss Juniper Lee."
"So how is that snake Hannibal going to do that?" asked Clay.
"Look into the pigeon's eye and see for yourself" replied Chase.
As the four Xiaolin monks and Juniper Lee looked into the eye of the pigeon and saw Hannibal's plans being revealed, they suddenly had no choice but to trust Chase's tip on defeating Hannibal.
"The magical realm is the realm to which Miss Juniper Lee here can easily show off her true power" said Chase as he began to pace around the Xiaolin monks and June, "if it works on someone as powerful as the Te Xuan Ze, it can certainly unlock your elemental powers in that particular realm. Meaning you would actually become your element and would enable you to weaken the magic of the special Shen Gong Wu."
"How do we know you're not lying?" asked Raimundo.
"I don't think he's lying" replied June, "because I been to that place to defeat a former Te Xuan Ze who was evil from trying to take over the world."
"That is all I have to say to you monks and your Te Xuan Ze ally" said Chase as he was leaving the scene along with a flock of birds who were his warriors following him, "good luck on doing your job of saving the universe and all that other good stuff."
"Uh, thank you very much?" said Omi as a strange look on his face appeared.
"Come" said Master Monk Guan as he signaled the four monks and their Te Xuan Ze ally, "we shouldn't disappoint Hannibal."
