Location: Human Zone: Unknown Regions: Earth: China: Fujian Province: Unknown City:

When Lady Yu appeared from the shadows of an alley way she smiled. It had been so long since she was in the Human Zone and on Earth. Breathing deeply an evil, but content smile worked its way.

I'm home, finally and unlike before I have a calmer head and Lord Phantasm want for an everlasting peace is the best I have ever heard. I will fulfill what I wanted to do, become an evil to contain all others, she thought as some of General Kasumi's Shadowkhan appeared around her as she changed her appearance to that of a light skinned, but lightly scarred, woman with long black hair and brown eyes wearing a white trimmed black jacket over a short sleeved black body suit. It was after that, that General Kasumi and General Ikazuki appeared from the shadows, both of them using their abilities to hide what they really are and both looked like normal humans like Jade at the moment.

Chuckling, Jade turned to General Ikazuki,

"General Ikazuki, I want you to take a squad under our disguise to the local police stations. Copy everything they have, but do not make it obvious or leave anything that might tell them that we are back. After you do that, look around some of the seedy places in town and see what you can find out."

"At once, my Queen," General Ikazuki said as he and his Shadowkhan left via Shadow travel.

"General Kouchuu, I want you to send out your bugs to all of the hospitals and wards in the nearby area. Report on anything that matches Lord Phantasm's orders and inform me immediately."

Immediately General Kouchuu nodded and then slowly began to dissolve into hundreds if not thousands of his beetles as they flew away causing Lady Yu to shake her head. General Kouchuu was always one to think ahead. Quiet but smart and valued logic in the same regard as loyalty and honor, she thought with a smile.

"General Kasumi since your skill at gambling is far beyond that of mine or the other Generals. I want you to head to bars, casinos, and keep your eyes and ears opened. There sure to be some former Mafia gangs hiding as well as members of the Dark Hand out there and we can't have them know that we have returned, but if they gamble away their money, beat them out of all of their money. After you are done here, move on to Las Vegas immediately. We might be able to find some remains of the old gangs that the Mafia drove out of business and persuade them to help complete our mission and help our Emperor. After all, he did ask for a few extra hands that know what they are doing." General Kasumi chuckled at that and then nodded,

"At once, my Queen," With that, she and her Shadowkhan turned and then left leaving via the exit of the alleyway as Lady Yu smirked. With that, she pulled out the folder that Lord Phantasm had given her. It would seem that he already had several investments and businesses under his immediate control as well as a few warehouses and compounds, but he needed someone to…run the ballpark for lack of a better way to say it.

After looking at each of the other generals and giving them their orders, she then smiled at the Shadowkhan around her.

"Alright then, the New sith Empire's ANBU Battalion is now commencing operations," Lady Yu said with a smirk.

"First order of business while we wait for those three are the new Shadowkhan Snipers that Lord Phantasm and I are both interested in." Lady Yu said as she looked at the file. There was already a hidden cloning facility hidden in the warehouse where a new breed of army was beginning to be grown. Made from the same DNA as the Kull Warriors infused with some DNA from the Chimeran strain, they were designed to be the ultimate killing machine, but they need training.

"Come on, Generals, we have much to do and little time to do it," Lady Yu said as the others nodded and then vanished into the Shadows as she alone left the Alleyway heading to where Lord Phantasm said was the headquarters that she were be leading GZ from.

It wasn't that far and when she saw it, she smiled greatly. It was an older building of Chinese design complete with a yellow tiled roof and emphasis on articulation and bilateral symmetry, signifying balance. Lady Yu smirked as she walked through the main gate which were blood red in color trimmed with black and had the Kanji for 'Shadow' on it, and walked into the courtyard that had two parking lots on each side and in front of her was a monstrous towering building that was highly modern, but kept with the ancient touch of China.

"Lord Phantasm, you have excellent taste," Lady Yu said as she looked around to see that there were several gardens around the lot, all of them adding beauty to the building and the courtyard. The roofs were designed to collect rain water, entering the gutters and leading to pipes that feed the gardens. The amount of plant life around the buildings and on the several floors serve as vents for rising hot air which draws cool air from the lower stories of the building and allows for exchange of cool air with the outside. It would seem that behind the fully automatic and roofed parking lot were a few tall buildings that looked to be the private parts of the property for her and meetings with highly important people.

Lady Yu smirked as she saw that like classical Chinese buildings, like those of the wealthy, her tower was tall, but it was also very wide with close heavy platforms and a large roof the floats over this base but with vertical walls emphasized as well. I can't help but think of how Lord Phantasm's found this building, Lady Yu thought seeing that many parts of the building looked decades old.

"Excuse me," A meek voice asked as Lady Yu quickly turned to face a young man dressed in a business suit and looking very official, but also put off. Chuckling a little, Lady Yu smiled at him,

"Relax, young man. I am only here to see my new investment" She said.

"You are this Ms. Jade Khan I was supposed to meet?" He asked as Lady Yu nodded knowing the fake name that Lord Phantasm set her up with.

"Then forgive me, ma'am. I only had a name to go by, I didn't know that it was you," He said as Lady Yu smiled.

"There is no need for that. Am I correct to assume that you have the papers you are supposed to hand over to me as well as a few papers that I have to sign?" She asked as the man nodded.

"Yes, but don't you want to look around your building for the GZ corporation?" He asked.

"From what I can see from the outside, I am already impressed." Lady Yu said seeing that the tower was oriented to face the East and knowing her history as she did, she knew that it was built for a Ruler with how she or he was affiliated with the Sun. As well the place was in perfect harmony of darkness and light, good and evil and from what her blood was telling her, it was perfect completely, but she wasn't going to rely solely on that.

"But, I would like to see the inside as well. I am under the impression that the CEO of GZ has already hired a few workers," She said.

"They are inside already, Ms. Khan," The man said as the two headed towards the tower. When they arrived the doors automatically opened and Lady Yu smiled when she looked around already seeing a secretary that was smiling at the two, but then gasped when she realized who Lady Yu was.

"Ms. Khan, what can I do for you, ma'am," She said immediately standing up and bowing to Lady Yu. The second she said that, everyone that had been working or walking in the area immediately looked up like God himself had just walked in…or in this case, a Goddess.

Lady Yu inwardly chuckled, but then turned to face the secretary. "No, I'll be looking through the building and then after I am done I wish to have a meeting with the Board at once. I am in charge now since the CEO has become annoyed with the lack of progress the Board has been able to complete." She said as the secretary immediately nodded.

"Right, at once, Ms. Khan," She said as Lady Yu nodded and then turned back to the man again. In the end of the tour, a smile was on Lady Yu's face. The compound had 900 rooms with low ceilings with black and white walls trim with the blue skin of the Shadowkhan. Her office was the best room in the tower and styled in Japanese architecture that made her smile.

Oh, Lord Phantasm, if it wasn't for the fact that I have no romantic feelings for you and that you are already in love with another, I could kiss ya, she thought as she read the paperwork and then signed where she needed to and then sent the man away. Sitting in her highly comfortable chair, Lady Yu looked over her desk that had a highly customized computer on it as well as a hologram projector on it.

Behind her were full windows that allowed her to look over her compound and then the city as well. Summoning two of her Samurai Shadowkhan, Lady Yu smiled as she leaned against the chair. It wouldn't be long until the Board members arrived and she would have to put them in their place and she would so enjoy that. Chuckling evilly again, Lady Yu said,

"Let's begin,"

Location: Ghost Zone: Sector: 7: Far Frozen: Main Training Area:

Suddenly a girl who was wearing a dark gray tunic with forest green pants hit the ground hard after falling for her father's trick, by to stumble on a slight dip causing her to charge forward too much and too late to dodge before Danny twisted around with his sword slashing. She was able to dodge the sword, but not the Flaming Ecto-blast that he had fired at her.

She was like her father, half ghost, half human, but unlike him, her core was still only an Ice core. She hadn't been able to develop the other elements yet and that was what this training was for. Danny sighed as he sheathed his sword and crossed his arms. It should not be this hard, He thought in worry. After finding Danielle after the whole nearly melting thing, he had Lady Pandora and Lord Frostbite look over her to be on the safe side so he wasn't worried about anything seriously wrong with her.

The problem was that she was like him genetically other than he had a Y chromosome that she didn't. Thus he had thought that the same training he had done through would be enough to activate her Core energy… Wait a minute… Danny sighed as he shook his head completely scolding himself for what he was doing. She was not him! She did not live in his shadow! She was her own person! Thus she had her Core had her own way of fully activating. Sighing he lowered his arms and walked up to Danielle and then placed a glowing blue hand on her shoulder, healing her completely. The girl sighed in relief as she rolled onto her back to look at her father.

However, she nearly gasped when she saw his frown on his face as he sat down in front of her, bowing a little.

"Forgive me, Danielle, I have made a stupid mistake. It's hard to remember that while you are my daughter, my clone, you are not me. I cannot teach you like I have been taught and for thinking that I could I apologize. I haven't really been a teacher before…" Danny said to her wearing his Sith robes. They were in a simple plain training field that was surrounded on all sides with the marble walls and the stands were above the walls and allowed everyone in them to see the entire field, which was the size of a football field.

"Dad, enough, it was actually fun to see you smiling for a while," She said as Danny sighed,

"Perhaps, but still I have to think of a way to get your elemental Core to activate. Even the ice powers that I would assume you would have haven't come up yet. Perhaps I need more training as a teacher than an Emperor or Warrior. Hmm, Frostbite and his Clan are the best at Ice, Ember is the top Fire, Lydia is Light, any one of them could help, but for Darkness I am the only one other than the Fright Knight…" Danny continued to mutter under his breath as he paced in front of the now standing girl. Danielle just rolled her eyes as her father continued to mutter under his breath. Honestly, she didn't know what was wrong with him. Her training with Lady Pandora was a lot worst then this…

Oh, damn it, Danielle thought when Danny vanished in flames and she barely dodged another ecto-blast.

"Actually thought that I would be muttering like that, Danielle," Danny chuckled after Danielle dodged his attack. "You're getting sloppy,"

"Why you…That was a cheap trick," Danielle yelled as she filled her legs with Ecto-plasma and launched herself towards Danny.

"Stand up and spread your wings, Danielle." He said as he unfolded his wings and then used them to launch himself to the air dodging Danielle's attack. Danielle gasped, but then jumped after him as the two soon found themselves loved in dodging each other's fists, kicks and ecto-blasts as they soon found themselves back into their dance of death. Both of them were smiling as they continued their training. Danny was interested in how his daughter would take the lessons he gave her and make them her own and thus far was highly impressed.

He would have never thought of using ecto-plasma like she had thought of.

"Get ready, Fire Ball" Danny yelled as he suddenly blew a ball of fire ecto-plasma from his mouth at Danielle who barely dodged by leaving the dance of death and then landing on the ground, breathing heavily. She then looked up at her flying father who was smiling a little.

"Come on, Danielle. Show me what you got," He said as he stayed above her in the air. Danielle panted a little as she stood up as she felt something activate in her core as she suddenly fired a stream of powerful and extremely hot fire from her mouth as her eyes turned orange.

Immediately Danny's eyes went wide as he extend his hand and absorbed the fire right back into his core, but still it caused him to tense and fall down to the ground seeing that his wings had stopped flapping.

Damn it…that hurt… He thought knowing that he would not do that ever again without further training. Usually his Force abilities with his Tutaminis wouldn't cause any harm to himself, but still Danielle's fire attack had. Danny smirked at that as he saw the slight burns on his hand immediate heal and the pain of absorbing that attack disappearing. Danielle was panting as some smoke came from her mouth. She was happy that her Elemental Core had activated with her first being Fire, but…

"Damn, that hurt," She cracked out as Danny landed next to her and then smiled.

"Well, well, Fire. Interesting," He said as Danielle continued to pant.

"Hmm, soldier!" He barked out as one of the Far Frozen Clansman ran up to him.

"Yes, 'Great One'?" He asked.

"Take Princess Danielle to the medical center and have someone look at her throat and then her core. I want to see how much heat her core is producing now that it has been activated. Danielle, do not overextend yourself. When my Ice powers first appeared I nearly froze to death. I don't want you to burn alive, do you?" Danny asked with a chuckle as Danielle chuckled.

"No, I guess not."

"Good, because Fire is different from Ice. It's opposite." Danny said with a frown.

"However, that lesson will be during the next practice session. I want to make sure that your core is stable and you have no risk of melting…again," Danny continued seeing the look that Danielle began to give him, which immediately stopped when she remembered the last time that nearly happened. Danny looked like he was about to serious hurt Vlad, if not worse when he saw her melt into ecto-plasma and that was a time that Danny wasn't a tenth powerful as he is now. Truth be told, it did made her feel a little proud and happy. With that, Danny began to leave, much to her shock and worry.

"Wait, where exactly will you be?"

"Hmm, somewhere where I can get at least a few moments of rest," Danny moaned out with his form fading onto the air.

"An air teleportation style" Danielle asked looking and attempting to sense her father's energy or anything like it. He had just been there seconds ago and all that happened was his form fading. Teleportation leaves something behind or has some sort of element used in its technique. If he was invisible she would still be able to sense him at least, but she couldn't.

"…Damn and here I thought that I would be able to do that before he could!" She yelled out in despair as the Far Frozen beings just chuckled slightly since seeing their princess pout was not a day to day happenstance.

"Come on, Princess, let's get you checked up."

Time Skip: Minutes later: Location: Ghost Zone: Unknown Coordinates: Unknown Sector:

Danny sighed as he leaned against the tree in one of hundreds in the forest. It was hidden from everyone's sight. Even if a ghost flew over, they wouldn't be able to see him and that was what he wanted, at least for a few more minutes. Well, he was leaning against the tree, but between him and it was Wulf laying down on all fours. Cujo was in his lap sleeping happily much like the huge werewolf like ghost that he was laying on. The sky was beautiful for the Ghost Zone that is and Danny's eyes were slowly fluttering shut.

He had changed out of his Sith Armor and into his a black shirt with his emblem on it, black jeans, and combat boots and was perfectly at ease. It was only during times like this that Danny could deactivate his 'Copy Eyes' and allowed himself to full relax. The necklace that connected him to the ancient Sith Lords and Ladies wasn't activated and he had shut the connection to make sure that nothing would happen. While the Old sith were helping him, he wouldn't completely trust them yet.

Yawning a little, Danny got comfortable again against Wulf who he could tell was breathing deeply and to most ghosts and humans would be deeply asleep, but like him and Cujo, he was ready to move in a moment notices. Inwardly chuckling at that thought, Danny allowed his mind to wander as he thought about the future, the present and the past all the while finally falling asleep like his two canine companions.

Meanwhile: Location: Human Zone: Unknown Regions: Earth: China: Fujian Province: Unknown City: GZ Headquarters: Conference Room:

Jade growled a little in her mind as she looked at the board of directors. It was no wonder Lord Phantasm hadn't been able to get anything done with this board of directors; they were either stupid or didn't know their place in the slightest. When she had arrived in the building, everyone in her path, jumped out of the way as she made her way to the office where the board of directors were meeting.

When she arrived in that office, one of them had the audacity to ask who the hell she was and boy was he and the others surprised when she said that she was the CEO's second in command through the papers she had shown them which were copies of the real ones hidden in the Shadow Realm. She wasn't stupid especially since all of them had looked over the documents instantly recognizing Lord Phantasm's handwriting, signature and that it was all legitimate with his seal on them.

"Well, I won't accept this. I don't care what those documents say. Mr. Fenton would never write or sign them to give you, a 17 year old, a child, control of this company. I denounce this…" Immediately the man stopped when he and the others finally noticed the very tall and very pissed off man standing behind Jade.

"Leave," Danny said simply as the man paled.

"But…"

"I said leave, before I really lose my patience," Danny said at which the air suddenly grew much thicker and heavily.

"Y-y-yes, s-s-sir,"

"Anyone else have a problem with Ms. Kahn being in charge of my company?" Lord Phantasm asked after the man had left as he looked at the people in the room as they slowly shook their heads no.

"Good, for now on she is in command. Everything she says, think of it as if I am saying it. You will treat her with the proper respect. Any who don't will find themselves on the street poorer than ever," With that he left through the door as everyone watched him and when he left, the members of the board returned their gazes to Lady Yu who was inwardly smirking.

That worked so well, she thought since that was one of her Shadowkhan disguised as Lord Phantasm Time to make them dance to my tune; she thought as a grin worked its way to her face "You heard him, as young as I am, I am in charge. As the new Head of this company, there are a few rules I'm going to lay down and they will be accepted. No excuses. First, you will announce that a new chairwoman of GZ has been made, but for security reasons the new head of the company chooses to remain anonymous and will stay that way until further notice. Second, if anyone here tries to betray me, the threat Mr. Fenton gave you will be nothing compared to mine. Am I understood?" Lady Yu said with a hardened glare at the Board of Directors with them all nodding.

"Good, onto more important matters. Thus far you have all failed time and time again. The CEO has grown sick and tired of it. I am here to bring results." Lady Yu said as everyone shifted under her gaze.

"Here are the new plans and projects," She said throwing a folder to each people there who immediately opened it and read through it.

"What…"

"You can read, correct?" Lady Yu asked.

"Those are Mr. Fenton's orders and my plans. We are going to do business and we will be getting results. It will be less hostile version of what you have been attempting to do behind Mr. Fenton's back. We will be a thriving part of the people's economy through our products."

"But we lose more money than we gain. You wish to provide funding for schools and hospitals with no guarantee money will return enough for us to make a profit," One of them said.

"Again you are looking to see what is in your wallet and how to make it fatter. I am doing this because we are a shipping company and a factory and like any factory or shipping company we need people to ship our goods to should they need things. Providing for schools and hospitals is just one part."

"So you wish to show our company has a humane side and reveal it to the people," Another said finally realizing what Lady Yu was speaking about. Lady Yu nodded.

"Yes. Officially we are what this company legally is on paper as we will act as such, but everything else that we sell illegally will involve us doing business with government agencies and the like, giving them an edge."

At this everyone on the board looked at her shocked, which made it obvious that she would have to explain. "When we give one something good, we give the rival something better and always have something on hand to make them come back for more. This is a factory with its own shipping abilities. We should use them." Lady Yu finished with a smile causing many on the board to smirk at that.

It would seem that most of them were more dealing with fight one another that it would seem that with now someone clearly in command, they would work together while each one of them planning to become the CEO by betraying Lady Yu and the others. Yet they didn't know that Lady Yu already know what they were planning and would be not only ready for it but also welcome it as an challenge.

"Everything else is listed in the folders and will be completed by the due date listed."

"What else do you have planned, Ms. Khan?" Another asked wanting to know more of the ingenious ways the girl had waned to do business.

"You will know things only when I want you to know. Nothing sooner or later will be told until it is needed to be told. Is that understood?" Lady Yu asked with the board of directors around her nodding.

"We understand, ma'am," They said just it was obvious they weren't going to get anything out of her.

"Good. This meeting is over. Get out," Lady Yu said seeing them all leave and shut the door behind them.

Sighing a little, she turned to the growing shadows as her generals, other than Generals Ozeki, who would remain in the Ghost Zone for the time being, and Kasumi.

"General Ikazuki, report," She said as the samurai, leaned forward onto the table and into the light, revealing blue-tinted lizard-like qualities. A flash of sharp teeth, fang-like in their quality, and a displeased frown worked its way onto its shadowed face, however, at his queen's question. She had asked him to copy everything the local police stations had while not making it obvious or leaving anything that might tell them that he and her Queen were back. On Jade's immediate right was General Ozeki of the Rikishi, otherwise known as the Sumo, tribe.

Then was General Hiruzen of the Shinobi, otherwise known as the Ninja, tribe on Jade's immediate left. Next to Ozeki was General Kage of the Hiru, otherwise known as the Shadow Eater, tribe. Next to him was General Kani of the Crab tribe. After that was General Kamisori of the Razor tribe, then General Kuro-Kamakiri of the Mantis tribe, then General Kuro of the Ika otherwise known as the Squid, tribe.

Next to him in the circle was General Koumori of the Bat tribe. Next to him was a General that Tarakuro didn't command or was sealed within a mask, he was General Orochi of the Hebi, otherwise known as the Snake tribe and he was an armored Naga in all honestly. Next was another new General, General Kouchuu of the Beetle tribe. He had two long arms and each possessed three digits.

His head was human, but his whole body was covered in blue chitins, a tough semitransparent substance that forms part of the protective outer casing cuticle of some insects and other arthropods, and the cell walls of some fungi, exoskeleton. On the right side of Jade was General Ryu of the Kokuryuu, otherwise known as the Black Dragon, tribe. He looked like a half human half dragon hybrid in Shadowkhan armor. On Jade's left side after General Hiruzen was General Chiya of the Neko, otherwise known as the Cat, tribe, and then was General Akari, another female Shadowkhan, of the Kitsune or Fox tribe. She wore a black Chinese top tight red pants and a coat that is black with a red fox on it.

She is tall and has blood red hair, red slit eyes, and a beautiful, soft, kind and caring face and was one of the few that weren't wearing armor. Next to her was General Mai, general of the Kana or Rocker tribe. She had black hair like the other generals but was wearing a black trench coat and had green eyes. Next to her was General Akibatsu of the Wokou Tribe, otherwise known as the Pirate tribe.

He was a normal skinned Shadowkhan with blue boots and a blue cape and black pirate shirt and pants. A black with the green skull of the Shadowkhan pirate hat was on his head as his yellow eyes looked at the others in the circle. Next was General Kameko of the Turtle tribe. Next to her was General Kuma of the Ussuri, otherwise known as the Brown Bear, Tribe.

General Ganseki of the Buyokua, otherwise known as the Dancer, tribe was next to her and next to General Cheveryo of the Yurei tribe or the ghost tribe. He was a ghost like Shadowkhan with claw like hands with white nails, and purple/blue skin with black lines running all over him and his spine is sticking out of his back. This skin is removable which reveals the tentacles of his true form and he had a single purple eye while his head is upside down while his tail is candy-striped in white and black. Next to him was General Mano of the same or the Goblin Shark tribe. He looked like a shark built to exist on the land. General Gaara was next to him and he commanded the Tanuki or Raccoon Dog tribe of the shadow khan. Directly in front of Jade was General Ikazuki of the Samurai tribe.

"I am afraid, Royal Highness, that one thing that Lord Phantasm was able to do was clean up the city we are located in. Many of the seedy areas have been wiped out, for lack of a better way of saying. The local police are completely on our payroll as well." Lady Yu frowned at that,

"He knew." She said as General Akibatsu nodded as he chuckled,

"I would believe so. I found several Imperial Ghosts and troopers nearby the harbors under our command, your Highness," He said.

"That is not all I have done and do not believe that I do not know what you did during that meeting, Jade." A voice said as the true Ghost King appeared from the floor as the ghost that he is.

Lady Yu had to frown when she saw Lord Phantasm, but that was nothing when he lifted his hand and and stretched it out to her and squeezed. When he did this, all of the air that Jade had in her lungs was sucked out and she couldn't breathe anymore air in. Within seconds, Jade grabbed her own throat, holding it as she tried to breathe in. Usually all of her generals and their Shadowkhan would be running to her aide, but due to the Killing Intent that Lord Phantasm was unleashing and the fact that it felt as if the gravity in the room had increased a million fold, they were barely able to remain standing, yet alone able to do anything else. Lord Phantasm chuckled darkly,

"You seem to think you can underestimate me, Lady Yu and go behind my back. Know this, I am always ten steps ahead of everyone, even you. I am finding your lack of honor, intelligence and respect disturbing, Lady Yu." With that, Lord Phantasm let the woman go who immediately glared at him, but then smiled,

"Would you have done anything different?" She asked.

"No, but I would not make a habit of it, Jade. I have my own reputation to uphold and that is one of being as a ghost." Lord Phantasm said with a grin, but then returned to his normal posture.

"I have information that I have recently been informed. Information, which you will not like. Section 13 has awoken, for some reason. My own ECTO and ZONE division have found many sniffing around Amity Park. I have informed GHOST to deal with them."

"Are they aware of this company or any other that we control?" General Kamisori asked in some worry.

"No, for now their interest seems to be on Vlad Masters and his companies. However, we must accelerate our plans." Lord Phantasm said,

"Agreed, Lord Phantasm. General Cheveryo, General Kage, General Koumori and General Kani. You know your orders. Report to the Ghost Zone training fields immediately and begin training our troops and our divisions."

"I want all of them to be the best and be prepared within the following months," Lord Phantasm said as the four nodded and then vanished into the shadows, heading towards the Ghost Zone.

"General Ikazuki and General Chiya, you will follow me to train my PHANTOM division immediately. They will be the best of the best of the best and I need them ready." Lord Phantasm said as the two nodded and stood up to stand next to Lord Phantasm.

"As for you, Lady Yu. Begin slow expansion into all of the countries. You know what to do,"

"And I have already began as I knew something like this was going to happen sooner or later. I will of course press my advantage as much as I can." Lady Yu said as Lord Phantasm nodded.

"Good. For the Shadowkhan, create more tribes!" He roared out much to the shock of Lady Yu and the others. Immediately when Lady Yu was about to open her mouth, he continued, "Lady Yu, while the 25 tribes you have are impressive, there is no reason for that to be the limit."

Lady Yu and the other remaining Oni Generals frowned at that since they too had attempted to create more tribes since their banishment with their queen within the Shadow Realm. "I know that I speak for all of us that we do not know…"

"Then learn. Shadow magic is far, far older than you, Oni, or you, Lady Yu, as a Shadowkhan. I know that. Thus the Shadowkhan are older than you." Lord Phantasm said as Lady Yu frowned.

"You claim to know of the Shadowkhan, Lady Yu, but the truth shows that you know so little. Your body is a mystery to you. You are a Shadowkhan, but how much do you know about what that means?" Lady Yu was speechless. Lord Phantasm knew too much to be ignored. The tone he used when speaking denoted a great wisdom. In the end, she could only do one thing and that was laugh.

She had to laugh since she had made the same mistake that Shendu, Drago, the other Demon Sorcerers, Daolon Wong and Tarakudo which was the mindset that valued destructive spells over everything else, regardless of how useful they could be, which caused her to forget about the history of the Shadowkhan and what it might hold. She had of course read more than just Chi, Demon and Shadow magic, both good and evil, but the history and any knowledge of the Shadowkhan had been swallowed up into the mythology of Japan. It was only dumb luck that the first mask had come with instructions during the first Oni Mask hunt.

For the demon portal quest, it was simple enough with research to find the symbol of the legendary immortal…the Shadowkhan on the other hand… "You do like to give out challenges, Imperial Majesty. Already you have asked me to establish a base of operations away from prying eyes and leave nothing to tip off its location. Now you ask this of me?"

"Stagnation is what causes Empires to die, Lady Yu. That is something I will never allow. You still need to learn balance and how to be flexible. Ignoring facts and seeing trouble where none is, nothing but bad comes of these things. You are cunning and tricky and love to think outside the box, but that will not do you any good if you continue to do the same thing over and over again as if it is tradition! You don't want to end up like those Demon Sorcerers again, do you?" Lord Phantasm asked as Lady Yu frowned slightly,

"I am not that old..."

"While young you are, you have great potential and we both know that your age doesn't match how you look, Jade." Lord Phantasm said as the copy opened a portal into the Ghost Zone behind him allowing General Ikazuki and General Chiya to journey with him to his kingdom. Seeing that, Lord Phantasm moved to join them, but not before saying,

"I expect your report by the end of today, Lady Yu and good hunting," With that, he vanished into the portal that faded from existence.

Several seconds passed before Lady Yu managed to regain her composure and she then turned to General Kouchuu. "What have you to report, General Kouchuu," She said regaining control of the meeting and her generals as if nothing had happened. Immediately General Kouchuu turned to face his queen as he began to speak in monotone.

"Within the wards are several corpses that match what Lord Phantasm has requested. Most of them are the bodies of former gang lords and their minions, but most are still in respectfully conditions. Are we sure what Lord Phantasm asked us for is…for a lack of a better way, correct. The magic he speaks of is…unknown to us Yu-Heika." He asked as Lady Yu nodded to understand.

"This Force Tennō Heika spoke of is where this form of magic comes from. Honestly, I do not like it since from what he has said only those born with enough midi-chlorians can use and those midi-chlorians are rare and want to be implanted into anything." She said, but then sighed.

"However, I have learned to trust Lord Phantasm as he has trusted me. Thus take as many as you can and send them to his private magic room." She said as General Kouchuu nodded and commanded his Shadowkhan to do so. After that, Lady Yu sighed as she placed her head in her hands. While in honestly she had no idea what Lord Phantasm was planning completely, she knew that it would go a long way in strengthening the New sith Empire.

"General Mai, I am sending you and several other Bat Khan to where the Lotus Temple is." General Mai arched an eye-brow at that.

"Yes, I am doing what I should have done in the first place!" Lady Yu said, "Now using the knowledge we gathered and that I have shared with all of you, take all the books and scrolls and convert them to digital files using the scanner." Lady Yu said as several battery powered scanners and replacement batteries. "This is the computer that has 10TB, so far the biggest available. That should be enough, if not then," In a way of shadow, several thumb drives appeared on the table. "Together they hold 1TB, if you need more, inform me." Lady Yu said as General Mai nodded and was about to fade into the shadows, but the single hand risen by her queen stopped her.

"If you find a Guardian, leave the temple and inform me immediately. The Lotus Temple used to be a haven for the Immortal Woman He and the Moon Demon Tso Lan used it as a base to monitor his siblings. He is now me," Lady Yu said as General Mai nodded, but then frowned.

"The Full Moon will not be present until a week from now." She said. "That gives you enough time to set up a small base in that sector and find the temple. And…if you see a young girl named Xu-Lin, tell her Jade says 'Hi'." Mai smiled at that and then vanished into the shadows.

"Also…no, I'll let Lord Phantasm learn about that himself. Onto the next order of business," Lady Yu said, but then sighed.

The remaining generals looked at their queen wondering what Lady Yu was talking about, but just waited for her to pick one of them for their report. "The rest of you have nothing to report yet." Lady Yu said as they nodded to agree.

"The job is mine for the moment and that is writing down everything that Daolon Wong, we, and the Demon Sorcerers know so that the future generations can learn from it."

"What about the forbidden techniques?"

"Those will be sealed within the library and only a person, like the Emperor, can enter the room where they will be sealed, by permission from the Council of 13, the senate or the New sith Order in dire situations." Lady Yu said.

"Lord Phantasm thought of everything, it would seem. The rest of you have duties to attend to. Leave," With that, the remaining generals bowed slightly to their queen, but then vanished into the shadows to deal with their duties.

Once they were gone, Lady Yu sighed as a computer appeared from the shadows in front of her. Why in the world did Lord Phantasm think she would be the best at this job? She was the warrior, the adventurer, but she had learned that the Kingdom of the Ghost Zone wasn't ready for a warrior at the moment, or at least another one and she was the best suited for the job.

With that thought, Jade turned to her laptop. It would take some time, but in the end it would be worth it, at the least of remembering all that she knew.
