Blossom looked at a beautiful pair of golden earrings, while Bubbles looked at a yin and yang pendant. "Ooh, pretty!" the blue Powerpuff coos.

Arturo admires a small gold tiger statue on a low shelf. "Ooh, muy nice craftsmanship." He picks it up and examines the details closely. "It's interesting to think that this was once a piece of gold ore."

"Duh, gold or what?" Billy inquires.

"Gold ore." Arturo replies.

"Yeah, but gold or what? It can't jus' be gold or nuthin'."

The group share blank looks. "Seriously?" Ace whispers to Deanna, who nods in agreement.

Deanna looked at what Rebecca bought and said, "Those look more you, Becca. Do you think they have something for me like that in red?" Rebecca said, "Sure, let's take a look." Rebecca held up another silk dress in a style similar to what she bought, but the pattern has black dragons and the dress itself was a ruby red color.

Deanna spots a dragon hairclip and says, "This one looks pretty cool. Okay, let's buy these altogether." Just when Deanna paid for her dress and hairclip, Mojo shoved Deanna and shouted, "GET DOWN!" Out of nowhere, a dart flew by and hits the wooden post of the vendor area. Deanna said, "Mojo, get off me! What's with you?"

Mojo helped Deanna off the ground and said, "I think someone was trying to do us in." Taking the dart off and seeing some of the wood rotting away, Mojo said, "Look, a poison dart."

Deanna said, "Thanks for saving me, Mojo."

Rebecca asked, "But who tried to poison us?" Just then, Rebecca notices some mysterious movement in the shadows behind a nearby corner. She traipses over to see who it was, but once she reaches the spot, there's nobody there. "Something funny's going on...and I don't like it."

Just when Rebecca was about to leave the spot, a figure came from behind her and began to pin her hands behind her back. Rebecca struggled, stomped onto the dressed black assailant's foot hard, and grabbed the person's wrist as she was about to flip him over. Rebecca and the stranger fought more, then Rebecca and Mojo pinned the person down.

Mojo pulled off the stranger's black kerchief covering his mouth and looked to see that the stranger was a she. Mojo stammered, "Y-You're a girl?!"

The Chinese girl looked to be about Rebecca's age with her black hair in a long braid. She got up to the ground and said with a bow by folding her hands together, "My name is Fa-Ying. I tried to warn you about the danger you are in. I didn't mean to startle you. What are your names?" Rebecca said, "I'm Rebecca, nice to be almost assaulted and to meet you."

Fa-Ying chuckled, "The pleasure is all mine, Rebecca. You and the chimp have good fighting skills."

Mojo said, "Oh, back to introductions. I am Mojo Jojo. These are Deanna, Ace, April, Snake, Billy, Grubber, Arturo, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Professor Utonium. The two puppies here are Foxy and Roxi." Fa-Ying giggles as the puppies gently lick her hand. "Well, I'm very pleased to meet all of you."

"We're pleased to meet you too, Fa-Ying," Mojo replies with a polite bow. "If I may ask, what brings you to our little corner of the world?"

Fa-Ying said, "I came to here to bring you to safety. The amulet that you have has great power and was from the Dragon Empress of the Chang Dynasty."
The group exchange amazed looks. "Mercccy!" Snake exclaims.

Fa-Ying said, "Many came seeking for this to unleash its power."

Mojo asks, "What power will this amulet unleash?"

"When the moonlight hits the amulet's eyes, it shows the location of the Dragon Empress' palace and the ancient treasure of Tien Long." Fa-Ying replies.

"Tien Long?" Blossom echoes curiously.

"He's an ancient and very powerful dragon," the girl replies. "He was the ensign of the Dragon Empress in ancient times. Legend says that he appears when he finds the palace or its treasure threatened."

The group look on in awe. "I've come to warn you, because the amulet can be very dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands." Fa-Ying notes. Buttercup throws two punches into the air. "Don't worry, miss, we won't let anyone get near it."

From the shadows behind them, a sinister voice whispers, "That's what they think."
