Chapter 8: Here Comes The Stampede

Vickie and her friends had arrived in Laos along with Ching and Pai. Travis was tracking down the new Chi Tang item with his Chi Tang detector. Suddenly, it was pointing at the Plain of Jars in Xieng Khuoang Province. So they went down the hill and check out the Plain of Jars. But the big problem was which jar has the new Chi Tang item. It was really hard for Travis to read his detector due to the minor problems. He couldn't seemed to figure it out why the Chi Tang detector wouldn't cooperate properly.

"Ugh, I have never experience the Chi Tang detector's problems before," said Travis. "But how could this be happening?"

"No sweat, Travis, we're going to find which jar that holds the Chi Tang item, the stampede's whistle," said Jade.

"Yeah, I'd say let's go look for it, guys," said Vickie, as everyone agreed with her.

Everyone began to split up and search every jar that has the stampede's whistle. Vickie and Alexis were checking one jar to another while Travis and Morris were seeking one at a time. Jade investigated one jar whether it has a Chi Tang item or not. But instead, she ended up falling into the jar and couldn't get out. Tohru looked inside the jar if it has the Chi Tang item or not. Ching and Pai were looking at one jar and then the next one and so on.

A couple of hours later, everyone had no luck finding the stampede's whistle yet. They had already check every jar so far and not a trace of the Chi Tang item. They were all so exhausted after a long search for the stampede's whistle. They might as well took a break for a moment, until they noticed someone who was missing.

"Hey guys, where's Jade?" Vickie asked, as everyone else looked around and shrugged.

"I have no idea," Tohru replied. "Where could she be?"

"Ah, if you dare looking for your friend, you might as well surrender the stampede's whistle now," said Daolon Wong, as he appeared out of the shadows, and the survivor warriors showed up as well.

"Oh come on, old man, we haven't even found that item yet!" said Ching.

"What did you just call me, young monk?"

"You heard me! Old...man..."

"Wow! Good one, Ching!" Vickie giggled.

Daolon Wong growled. "You idiot! How dare you call me an 'old man?' Of course, I may have been old, but I still have stronger powers than you have ever imagined!"

"Oh sure, then bring it on, elder!" said Ching.

"Oh! Now you're going to pay for that!"

After Ching insulted Daolon Wong for being old, they began to fight one and another. While they were fighting, Vickie, Travis, and Tohru fought the survivor warriors. As the battle goes on, Alexis, Morris, and Pai were looking for Jade without anybody's looking at them. The animals were checking every jar to jar in order to find her and the stampede's whistle. But they had no luck yet until they heard a flock of birds flying in their direction. They immediately saw them flying pass the survivor immortals as they had no idea of why the group of birds were flying in that direction. Suddenly, they immediately heard someone moaning inside of one of the jars, which it was right in front of them.

"Oh...can someone please help me to get out of this jar?" the moaning voice asked, which it was none other than Jade.

"Wait, Jade, is that really you in there?" Alexis asked.

"Like who else is inside of this jar besides me? Just get me out of here already!"

"Alright fine, just don't panic already, sheesh!" said Pai, as he, Alexis, and Morris tried to get Jade out of the jar.

Back at the fighting scene, the good guys were still fighting against the bad guys. Suddenly, they heard a flock of birds coming to their direction. Vickie, Travis, Tohru, and Ching moved to one direction while Daolon Wong and the survivor warriors headed to another direction. Since the birds weren't attacking the heroes, instead they were attacking their enemies. The survivor warriors were aimlessly trying to get the birds away from them. Daolon Wong, on the other hand, fired the birds with his dark chi. Vickie, Travis, Tohru, and Ching found it very awkward that the birds were attacking the villains.

"Guys, isn't it very weird that the birds were attacking Daolon Wong and the survivors, but not us as well?" Vickie asked.

"Well, if I would've known better, the birds wouldn't do this on their own," Travis replied. "But they were doing this for some very odd reason."

"Like what for example?" Ching wondered.

Travis immediately shrugged. "I don't know..."

As Daolon Wong and the survivor warriors were humiliated and being defeated by the group of birds, they were ready for a retreat. After they immediately disappeared, the birds began to go in separate ways. It's strange enough for Vickie, Travis, Tohru, and Ching to see. Few minutes later, they spotted Alexis, Morris, Pai, and Jade, who finally got out of the jar.

"Hey guys, guess what I found!" said Jade, as she showed the brown whistle to everyone.

"Jade, is that the stampede's whistle?" Tohru asked.

"I bet that's the stampede's whistle, Tohru," said Travis. "When you used that item, the whole crowd of animals will appear right away!"

"Of course, it's just like the group of birds came directly to attack Daolon Wong and the survivor warriors we saw in a few minutes ago," said Ching.

"So that's what it's for!" said Jade. "I immediately blew the stampede's whistle when I'm stuck in the jar."

"Then, we saw the flock of birds coming to their direction when we were looking for Jade," said Alexis.

"And that is exactly my point there," said Travis.

"Well, that solves a mystery alright," said Vickie.

Meanwhile at the dark kingdom, things weren't going very well for Sapphire. She immediately lose her temper when Daolon Wong and the survivor warriors failed to retrieve the Chi Tang item.

"How can you fools be so foolish enough all of the sudden?!" Sapphire shouted.

"Don't blame on us, Sapphire!" said Daolon Wong. "Blame on that group of birds for messing with us!"

"Yeah, they're the ones who attacked us from the beginning!" Berenice exclaimed. "Besides, we never saw them attacking the Trang gang when they only attack us as well."

Suddenly, Sapphire has a big thought of something very curious. It took her a few moments to come up with something. Then, something struck her mind when she finally found the solution.

"Now, I can finally understand," said Sapphire softly.

At the hotel, Vickie and the others were taking a big break for a while. Jade carefully took the stampede's whistle from Travis's bag and tried it out for a moment. She went outside of the hotel and began blowing the whistle. Before she started blowing it, she immediately saw the three immortal animals gazing at her.

"Jade, what are you doing?" Alexis asked.

"Er...trying to give this whistle a test?" Jade shrugged.

"Right...so what are you going to do about it?" Pai asked. "Bringing the party animals here?"

"Umm...Pai, that doesn't sound right," said Morris.

"Well, I just want to see which animal will appear next when I blow the stampede's whistle," said Jade.

"Then, go for it!" said Alexis.

"Alexis! Seriously?!" Morris glared at her.

Jade began to blow the stampede's whistle, even though there's no sound coming out of the whistle. Few seconds later, they saw a couple of mice marching down and crawling all over them. Jade was very ticklish as she couldn't help but to laugh. Alexis, Morris, and Pai began to panic while the mice began to collide them. They began to shake all of the mice off of them and broke free. Then, they immediately got rid of them from Jade. Once the mice were gone, the three survivors immediately stared at her.

Jade chuckled. "So, the stampede of mice is a bad idea, is it? T'ch, like what's your point?"

"Jade, maybe you shouldn't mess around with that item before you're doing something very crazy!" said Alexis.

"She's right, you should stop doing that from now on," said Morris.

"What? Just one more time, and I won't do it anymore I promise," said Jade.

"Ugh, fine...one last time and that's all you got."

"Alright! And I thank you for that!"

Jade blew the stampede's whistle once again until suddenly Sapphire and her troops appeared in front of her. Alexis, Morris, and Pai defended Jade from the evil forces because she's holding the stampede's whistle. The survivor warriors were getting ready to defeat the three animals very easily. Daolon Wong prepared his staff to gain his chi magic for his powerful attack. Morris quickly used his wind power to counter the dark chi wizard's attack and blasted him and the survivor warriors away. Sapphire used her dark magic to create her strings in order to get the Chi Tang item from Jade. Pai focused his power within and launched his fire power to burn out her strings. Finally, Alexis used her water power to spray the evil sorcerer out.

"Come on, guys, let's get out of here right away!" Pai exclaimed, as he and the others were running away from the evil forces.

As Daolon Wong and the survivor warriors stood back up, Sapphire began to scream. "Eliminate those fools and bring the Chi Tang item to me!"

Jade and the survivor immortals were still running away from Sapphire. Then, they immediately ran into someone and ended up in a big crash. It was none other than Vickie, who was on the floor getting crash by Jade. They immediately stood back up, and they were not alone at all. Travis, Tohru, and Ching were there as well.

"Jade, what are you guys doing here?" Vickie asked. "What's the big rush?"

"Vickie, we have some unwanted guests--!" Jade immediately turned around and saw the survivor warriors approaching.

"Hey girlfriend, give us the stampede's whistle or else," said Schroeder.

"Leave Jade out of this!" said Vickie.

"Stay out of this, Trang! This is between me and her!"

"Not until you defeat us first!"

The elemental survivors' transformations began while Ching or Pai's transformation has been revealed. His eyes and hair still changed during the transformation mode, but his clothes were all fiery red. Once their transformations were completed, they began to attack the survivor warriors. Tohru faced his greatest match once again with Daolon Wong. While they were still doing at it again, Sapphire got Jade cornered as she has nowhere to run.

"Give me the stampede's whistle, you fool!" Sapphire clenched his teeth.

"You want it, Sapphire?" said Jade, as she immediately took out the ice crystal from her pocket. "Then, it's all yours!" She immediately used the ice crystal to freeze Sapphire into a solid ice, and she finally made her escape.

Pai used his fire ball attack at the survivor warriors to give them an extra heat. Once they got themselves burned, Alexis used her water bubble attack to splatter their faces. Then, Morris used his giant tornado attack to blow them away. After the warriors were gone and got defeated, it's time for the elemental survivors to deal with the battle between Tohru and Daolon Wong.

"Aw man, Tohru's still struggling while Daolon Wong has it all covered!" said Pai. "What are we going to do now? He needs our help!"

"You're absolutely right, Pai," said Morris, "but it's best for us that he can do this on his own."

"What?! And get himself defeated by the dark chi wizard again?!" said Alexis. "Morris, I don't know. I mean, what are you saying?"

"If Tohru wants to defeat Daolon Wong, then all he has to do is to believe in himself no matter what. Also, he knows that we are all here for him by his side."

"Now, I am starting to think that you're making sense at all times," said Pai.

While Tohru and Daolon Wong were still fighting with their chi magic, the dark chi wizard chanted his own spell to make his power more stronger than Tohru's. The sumo was struggling to fight back and ended up losing all of his hopes. Then, Morris immediately threw the calling stone to Tohru. Once he caught the stone, he activated its power and finally realized who he's fighting for. As his chi magic grew stronger than ever, it immediately pushed Daolon Wong's chi magic and sent him far away.

After the heroes defeated the villains, the elemental survivors and Jade were giving Tohru a big cheer. Suddenly, they immediately saw something shiny in the air. The shining light fell into Pai's hand, and it appeared to be the color crystal, which it turned out to be purple.

"Unbelievable, it's a color crystal!" said Pai. "I wonder what it does."

"I have no idea, Pai," said Morris, "but we're getting to the bottom of this real soon."
