Ch. 6: Guarding Chrissie

That night, the boys were in their cabin asleep. Ice wakes up a little and finds Hsi Wu's bed empty.

"Bat-Dudes gone?" Ice said then realizes where he went, "I think I know where he's at."

Ice takes his shirt and puts it on. At the Girls' Cabin, Jade was asleep already. Colleen and Chrissie were just talking about what happened today.

"I'm sorry about today, Chrissie," Colleen said, "Not much goes on in Hsi Wu's head."

"I know he was just showing off in front of me," Chrissie said, "What made him think I would like him if I just met him?"

"Tch. Any guys you do like?" Colleen asked.

"You promise you won't tell anyone?" Chrissie said.

"Scout's honor," Colleen promised.

"I kind of Ice a little. You remember all those times he stuck up for me against the bullies who picked on me. One in particular."

"Stacey?"

"Yeah. He always seems to come to my rescue whenever I'm in trouble."

Colleen reaches to the lamp and turns off the light.

"Good night, Chrissie," Colleen said.

"Good night, Colleen."

The two friends went right to sleep. Outside the cabin, Hsi Wu was in demon form and ready to make his move on Chrissie. He was trying to pick the lock on the door to the girls' cabin.

"You like me, Chrissie," he said, "You just don't know it yet, but tonight, I'll take you to that cave Jade spoke of and give you a romantic night you won't forget."

Hsi Wu was pulling the door opened when it is slammed shut by a hand. He looked and saw Ice.

"No way I'm lettin' a playboy like you near my girl!" he said angrily.

"Why would Chrissie want to be with you when she could be with someone who can take her places?" Hsi Wu talked back.

"You mean take so you get up in grill!"

"There's no female who has ever resisted me, Boy! I come from Demon Royalty, while you are a mere pizza boy who dropped out of kung fu school. You feel me, Bro!"

That comment really made Ice mad.

"That's it! It's on now, Bat!" he yelled angrily as he jumped him.

Off screen, the two began to fight and struggle against each other. Back in the cabin, Colleen and Jade woke up to the noise.

"Sounds like the duel-namic duo are at it," Jade remarked.

"You better wait here, Jade," Colleen said, "I'll go and break up their squabble."

"No way am I gonna miss this adventure like I missed the others," Jade said as she ran in front of Colleen. Colleen has a plan to get Jade to stay put.

"Okay, Jade, you can come,"

"Huh?"

"I can't trust a kid your age to an important task."

"What task, Colleen?"

"The Shadowkhan's prime objective is to take Chrissie's necklace. We need someone who knows the Shadowkhan to guard Chrissie in case they come back, where the fighting scene will take place."

"Ooh! Can I guard Chrissie? I know a lot about the Shadowkhan!"

"If you feel you're tough enough, Jade."

"Oh I'm tough alright. You can count on me to guard Chrissie."

"I know it."

Colleen leaves with a devious smile.
