Ch. 4: Enter the Shadow Khan
The Shadow Khan slowly approach the J-Teens as they have them surrounded.
"Who are they, and what do they want?" Chrissie asked.
"Chrissie, they are after your Celtic necklace!" Colleen said, "Run!"
Chrissie tried to run out the back door, but more Shadow Khan popped in and grabbed her. Chrissie screamed a little but it was enough to get Hsi Wu and Ice's attention.
"Chrissie!" Ice and Hsi Wu said in unison.
They both try to run to her but the Shadow Khan block their way.
"Drago, don't you think you and Hsi Wu should…you know," Colleen suggested.
"Right!" the two demons said in unison.
They both transformed into their demon forms. This surprised both Jimmy and Chrissie, leaving them with shocked looks in their eyes. The J-Teens took on the Shadow Khan. Colleen was blocking their blows and throwing them to the ground; Cody was ramming them like a rampaging bull; Ice was showing them his moves the hard way but swipe kicking them and fist-striking them; Drago was blasting them with fireballs; and Hsi Wu kept whacking them with his wings and tail. Colleen saw a few ninjas going after Chrissie.
"They are going after Chrissie!" she shouted, "Stop those ninjas!"
"With pleasure!" Hsi Wu said.
Hsi Wu flew up and rammed the ninjas. Hsi Wu was holding onto Chrissie.
"You okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine," Chrissie said.
This caused Ice to look at them with jealousy while he fights. The J-Teens continue to fight until Uncle's voice started to chant out of nowhere. Jade has him on her cell phone, and he began to cast a chi spell to make the Shadow Khan disappear.
"Yu Mo Gwai Gui Fai Di Zao." he chanted, "Yu Mo Gwai Gui Fai Di Zao."
The Shadow Khan suddenly faded out. The Goblin Trio has become fearful.
"We're out of here!" Baldro said.
The Goblin Trio teleports out. Ice runs over to Chrissie to make sure she's okay.
"Chrissie, did they hurt you?" Ice said.
Hsi Wu pushes Ice away from her.
"She is safe and sound, thanks to your favorite sky demon," Hsi Wu bragged.
The rest of the team and Jade give him a "how does his brain function" looks.
"Thanks for the save, Jade," Colleen said.
"Don't thank me; thank Uncle and his caller Chi Spell," Jade said.
"Can I talk to him?" Colleen said.
Jade gives Colleen her cell phone.
"Uncle, I suppose Jade filled you in what happened here," Colleen said, "Who were those ninjas?"
"They are called Shadow Khan," Drago said, "My father use to summon them to do their muscle work."
"They are shadow ninjas with no free will of their own," Uncle said on the phone, "They can be summoned when one feels the darkness within."
"How are the goblins able to summon them?" Colleen said, "I thought they can't use Chinese magic."
"They must be using a magic channeling spell," Uncle informed, "Using a spell would allow anyone magical access to other powers, no matter the origin. One more thing, it could only be done by the one with the most power and enough magical experience."
"The Goblin Prince must have decided to give Larry, Moe, and Curly assistance," Cody said.
"How do we stop the Magic Channeling Spell?" Colleen asked.
"You leave your grandfather, Tohru, and Uncle to worry about that," Uncle said, "Right now; you have to guard Chrissie and her necklace from them. The Shadow Khan are known to pop out of the shadows."
"Right now, I'm more worried about who's gonna protect her from Hsi Wu," Colleen said, "He's been hovering over her, and it seems to be making Ice totally jealous. What do I do if a fight ensues?"
"You're on your own with that dilemma," Uncle said, "Not even chi spells could fix a problem like that. Got to go."
Uncle hangs up the phone. Colleen gives the phone back to Jade. Chrissie walks up to Colleen with a surprise look.
"We owe you an explanation, Chrissie" Colleen said.
"Start by telling me why that weird bat thing keeps looking at me strangely," Chrissie said.
