Chapter 5: What's With The Tiger Claws?

Vickie and the others had arrived at Giant's Causeway in England; they had finally found the new Chi Tang item. But the problem was they're not the only ones who found it. The forces of darkness showed up in time as well. Both sides were battling for the new Chi Tang item for the sake of their desires.

"Hey you clowns, we found the Chi Tang item first, so you might as well get lost already!" Jade exclaimed.

"Pah! Foolish brat, do you actually think that you can get away with the tiger claws?" Daolon Wong asked. "Well, I think not."

"Oh, I'm not so sure about that, Daolon Fong!" said Vickie.

"It's Daolon Wong, not Fong!" The dark chi wizard blasted his chi spells at Vickie, and she immediately dodged his attack. "And couldn't you at least say my name right, Trang?"

"Well, I thought it was the same thing, but who cares? Let's just fight for the Chi Tang item anyways!"

While Vickie, Travis, and Jade were fighting against the survivor warriors, Tohru fought Daolon Wong with his chi magic. Without Uncle by his side, he wasn't so sure if he could face the dark chi wizard alone. But he tried his best to use his techniques that his teacher taught him to fight against dark magic. Daolon Wong used his fiery attacks at the sumo, but Tohru countered it with his ice magic attack and froze him as well.

"H-hey, h-h-how did you do that?" Daolon Wong chittered.

Tohru grinned. "Sensei taught me very well."

As the battle between the two chi wizards went on, Vickie took down three survivor warriors with her mad fighting skills. Travis beat up three warriors at once and Jade knocked the two warriors down. After they defeated them, they went to retrieve the tiger claws. Until Daolon Wong spotted them, he used his magic to blast them away and immediately took the Chi Tang item away from them. Once he got the tiger claws, he attacked Tohru right away and vanished into a smoke puff. Vickie and the others were too late to stop him after he was gone.

"Oh no, Daolon Wong now has the tiger claws!" Jade exclaimed.

"Oh bad day, bad day," said Vickie nervously.

"Oh, so much for the use of my antics," Tohru frowned, as he covered his forehead.

"Stop complaining, you guys!" Travis shouted, as he was the only one who wasn't worried that much. "We'll get the tiger claws back from the villains in no time!"

"Oh come on, Travis, how can you be so sure if we can get it back from the bad guys?" Vickie asked.

At Sapphire's kingdom, Daolon Wong showed the Chi Tang item, the tiger claws, to Sapphire. She was very impressed that he did an excellent work back there. She took the tiger claws from him and examined it for a while.

"Interesting, very interesting," Sapphire chuckled evilly. "The items, like this one, were made ages ago by the sages who were trying to protect them from delivering into the wrong hands."

"Ah, I see now where this is going, mistress Sapphire," said Daolon Wong. "I remember that I read a book about the history of the Chi Tang items. The legend says when all the Chi Tang items were collected, a person must grant a wish for his/her own sake."

"And so as I thought, eh? That's what my family and I are planning to do right this minute. Too bad that Zhen, Eliza, and Keizo failed to do this mission, but I won't fail this mission unlike those three would."

"Exactly, but what about the tiger claws? What are you going to do with it?"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. Let me see if the tiger claws work or not."

Sapphire held the tiger claws with her one hand. Once it started to glow, she swung it really fast and smashed the vases in one attack. It was very impressive for her to use that item with one huge attack.

"Well, what do you know?" she grinned. "It works perfectly well! So much for 'getting into the wrong hands' stuff. By the meantime, this item is now owned by the wrong hands like myself that is!" She chuckled at first and then made a very huge laugh insanely and loudly.

Meanwhile, Vickie and the others were desperately trying to track down Sapphire's location. They used the global orb and the stone locator in order to find her. Once they revealed the location of she was, they all headed down to that location to get the tiger claws back from Sapphire.

Few hours later, Vickie and the gang found the dark kingdom where Sapphire lives. Around it, there's a crooked, old fence and a black gate. Vickie slowly opened the gate and entered along with her friends. They slowly snuck to the kingdom and peeked through the windows. They each checked every window around the kingdom to find the tiger claws until Tohru spotted someone in the room. He warned the others as they check out the window and saw someone. They all bent down, lowered their heads, and peeked through the window.

"Wasn't that Sapphire clutching the tiger claws in her hand?" Jade asked quietly.

"It certainly does," Tohru replied, lowering his voice.

"How on earth are we suppose to retrieve it from her?" Vickie whispered.

"I don't know, and it was not that easy," Travis whispered back. "We need to come up with a plan."

"Okay, I think I know one," said Jade, "two of us had to distract her while the other two must pin her down and grabbed the tiger claws off of her hands."

Travis began to grin about Jade's smart mouth ideas. "You know something, Jade, I really like your plan, except the part about taking the tiger claws off of Sapphire's hand, which it was not that easy!"

Jade crossed her arms and scoffed at the same time. "Then, do you have any bright ideas, Sherlock?"

"Well actually, I believe I do, and this must be a very sly one ever."

Vickie, Travis, Jade, and Tohru snuck inside of Sapphire's kingdom by the door. They slowly walked very carefully without making a sound so their enemies wouldn't know that they're here. They all peeked at each room, and every villain were fast asleep, including Daolon Wong. Without noticing their presence, the four heroes continued tip-toeing through the hallways. Until they spotted Sapphire's room, they finally saw the tiger claws attaching to her hand.

Travis used the lasso of rodeo to retrieve the Chi Tang item from Sapphire. Once he caught it, he slowly pulled it from her hand without waking her up. While Sapphire turned her whole body around, Vickie and the others were afraid that she's going to wake up any second now. But since she hasn't waken up yet, everyone was so relieved and Travis continued to retrieve the tiger claws off of her. Few seconds later, it was loosen from her hand so he quickly pulled it out and caught it in his hands. After he retrieved it, he and the others quickly got out of the kingdom until they ran into someone who was very sleepy.

"Hey, do you mind -- huh?" Daolon Wong gasped when he saw four trespassers caught the tiger claws. "What the...You! What are you all doing here, and why are you taking the tiger claws from Sapphire?"

"Listen, Mr. Grumpy face, we're taking the tiger claws away from all of you!" Travis replied. "So, go back to your whimpy, old bed, old man."

"Old man? Listen here, fool, do not make me call out the survivor warriors to defeat you."

"Just make us already, Mr. Old wizard freak!" said Vickie sarcastically.

Daolon Wong growled angrily. "That does it! You're really asking for it now! Survivor warriors, we got ourselves a company, and it's time to destroy them once and for all!"

The survivor warriors were rudely awaken by Daolon Wong. They were now prepared to attack the four heroes. Vickie, Travis, Jade, and Tohru fought the warriors one by one. Vickie punched one warrior out and then kicked another warrior. Tohru tossed one warrior out of his sight and body slammed another. Jade kicked the survivor warrior two times and punched another warrior three times. Travis flipped over the last two survivors and gave them a big knock out by kicking their stomachs. After the warriors got defeated, Daolon Wong was very disappointed that they lost the match.

"You may have defeated the warriors that easily," said Daolon Wong, "but you cannot defeat me with the wrath of my greater dark chi magic in my hands!"

Suddenly, Tohru charged Daolon Wong and crushed him by his own heavyweight body. The dark chi wizard couldn't feel or move his body due to the sumo's weight. While he was still immbolized, Vickie and the others exit the kingdom and headed back to San Francisco. Few moments later, Sapphire immediately woke up from her sleep and went to the hallway, where she found Daolon Wong and the survivor warriors lying on the floor injured. She was not very happy at all when she realized that the tiger claws were gone.

"Um...Sapphire, could you just give us a hand for a moment?" Daolon Wong asked, as Sapphire began to scream wildly.

Back at San Francisco, Travis placed the tiger claws in the chest along with the other Chi Tang items. Then, he immediately closed the closet safely so that no one else would dare snatch them.

"Five down, five to go," said Vickie, as she remembered counting the items correctly.

"Yep, and we have a long way ahead of us now," said Jade.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that, guys," said Travis. "This task wasn't that easy after all, unlike before."

"Travis is right, this mission is getting too advance for us to fight evil and search for Jackie and Uncle," said Tohru.

"That's right, we haven't even find a clue of where Jackie and Uncle are!" Vickie exclaimed. "We've been desperately searching for them everywhere and trying to get the answers from every villain we met. But it turns out that none of them would say anything about where they are now!"

"Well, either they're keeping it as a secret, or they're just trying to pull us off," said Jade. "I don't know, but it's just my opinion though."

"Maybe we can save that until we'll find all the Chi Tang items together," said Travis. "Then, we can investigate the whole situation, which it is now on top of us."
