Ch. 4: Song of Destruction

The J-Teens have made it to Candlestick Park. They were lined up with Finn. Colleen was looking around and noticed something amiss.

"Something bothering you, Col?" Drago asked.

"Did you guys noticed something wrong when we came in?" Colleen asked.

"No," Cody said, "Why do you ask?"

"Look around you."

The J-Teens looked around and noticed that something is wrong. The whole place is mostly men. Chrissie and Colleen are the only girls at the park.

"It's all guys here," Drago said.

"Weird. It's like her music only affects guys," Ice said.

Drago opened his eyes wide and remembered something his dad once told him when he was stuck in the void.

"It can't be the same Serena, can it?" Drago said to himself.

Moments later, the six have managed to grab their seats. They were just two rows from the stage. Colleen was sitting between Drago and Chrissie when she noticed that Drago had a serious look on her face.

"Are you okay, Drago?" Colleen asked.

"Yeah," Drago replied, "I just remembered something. My father told me of a Serena that Uncle Hsi Wu use to know during ancient times. I'm just wondering if this Serena could be the same one."

Before Colleen could ask, the announcer came on to introduce Serena.

"Ladies and gentleman! The moment you all have been waiting for! That sensational songbird of the new millennium! Serena!!!" The announcer shouted.

Some pyrotechnics flared up as a platform slowly rose up Serena. Finn was cheering for her like crazy, causing the others to be concerned. Meanwhile, Hsi Wu was flying with the Dog Talisman in hand. He landed on top of the stadium and got a good look at Serena.

"Oh no!" he exclaimed, "It is her!"

Then he sees Drago and the others at close range of her.

"I hope Serena hasn't heard about Drago," he said, "If she finds out he's my nephew, she could use him to get to me."

Serena then starts singing her hit song, "Love Can Never Forget."

"I fell in love with a prince,

But he turned away from me,

And I have never seen him since.

He said he loved me for me,

But he lied just to get

As she continued to sing, Colleen noticed that every guy there is starry-eyed and in a trance all at once. Even Ice and Cody are affected.

"Drago, something's wrong," she said, "The guys look like their minds are wiped."

Drago suddenly realized what Serena really is.

"Guys, we have to get out now!" he said, "She's a siren!"

Serena continued to sing her song:

"Love can never forgive and forget,

Neither can I!"

When she saw Hsi Wu at the top of the stadium, she unleashed a horrific scream that caused anything in its path to crumble. The hypnotized men moved as the scream headed toward Hsi Wu. He managed to doge it, but it caused some debris to fall toward the J-Teens. Hsi Wu swooped down and used the Dog talisman to form a shield to block the debris from the teens and Finn. Hsi Wu then got out the Rooster Talisman to make the J-Teens levitate and fly out of the stadium. They vanished into thin air as Serena watched angrily.

They made it back to Section 13. Colleen and Drago told Jackie, Jade, and Captain Black about what happened.

"Then when she saw Hsi Wu, she went ballistic and unleashed a scream that nearly demolished the stadium," Colleen told, "Drago said that Serena might be a siren."

"A what-en?" Jade asked.

"In Greek mythology, sirens are half-woman, half-birds whose song can mesmerize men and lead them to their doom. Odysseus would tie himself to a mass to evade the sirens' song and make his men put wax in their ears so they would not hear it."

"Why weren't you and Hsi Wu affected by the siren, Drago?" Jackie asked.

"The siren's song only affects human males," Drago answered, "Demons are immune."

"Question is how does Hsi Wu know her?" Captain Black asked.
