Family Reunion

It had been a couple of days since Asuron and his commanders had started their road towards redemption. The three demons walked through a mountainous area hoping to get some job to help them on their journey.

"Hey Len, are you sure this is the way?" asked Artem

"Of course it is the way. I grew up traveling through these mountains. You could say that I know them like the back of my flipper." said Len

"I still don't understand why the people of Pumpkin Town didn't gave us a map. It is basic conquest to know the territory." said Asuron

"That is kind of the problem Boss. The World of the Twelve is so big that no one has ever been able to make a map of the entire world." explained Artem

Soon enough the three demons came across a village in the mountains that resembled ancient Chinese temples. Many of them were covered by the snow from the top of the mountain. Several flags flowed due to the wind.

Asuron and his commanders took in the amazing sight.

"Home." said Len

"Wow. This place will make a very good strategic location for training and for any air forces we make." said Asuron

"Yeah." said Len trailing off

The three demons made their way to the entrance of the village with Len setting an unusually slow pace. In a couple of minutes the three demons found themselves in front of the village gate. There was an inscription which had the name of the village on it.

"Pan-Too" said Len reading the sign

"Nice name. Well let's see what we can do in this place." said Asuron rubbing his hands together.

The three demons walked through the village looking around with hope of finding some bad guys to beat up. As they walked they saw that the only people in the village were Pandawas. All of the villagers looked at the three demons as if they were a rare oddity.

Shortly after walking for a little bit the three demons noticed that they were being followed by a small group of children. Two boys and one girl with a little Iop doll.

Asuron and his commanders paid them no attention. Soon enough something caught Len's attention, stopping dead on his tracks. This of course made the demons crash with him.

"Hey! What is wrong with you Len?" asked Artem

Suddenly Len began running towards the highest temple in the village. Soon enough Asuron, and Artem followed him up to the temple.

When they all reached the top they found the temple. It looked like an old shack with little paint remaining. The red walls were almost brown in color, and the green roof was almost completely covered in snow.

"Something from your past?" asked Asuron breaking Len's concentration.

"You could say so Boss." said Len with his head hanging.

"Well we should take this somewhere else. Unless you want to tell our little tag alongs your origin story Len." said Artem pointing to the kids.

With the mention of their presence the three kids hid behind a big rock.

Suddenly an elder Pandawan walked out. He had a white long beard and mustache, he wore a old green robe with bamboo designs, a long bamboo cane and a pair of old sandals. He walked out of the temple with a slow pace and looked at the three demons standing at his door.

"Well this is not what I expected when I woke up this morning. Good day to you strangers. May I help you?" asked the old man

Len suddenly looks up to the old man and was about to speak with tear in his eyes.

"M...Mas...Master..." began Len until someone else finished his sentence

"Master Moshi! How many times do I have to tell you to stay inside. It is bad for your health." said a young lady Pandawa.

The young lady was apparently around her early to mid thirties, had her black hair done on a long pony tail fashion. She had deep emerald eyes and a worried look on her face. She wore a similar robe like the one that Master Moshi wore, only that her's had the arms cut off. She also wore green gloves on her hands.

"Oh calm down Sue. I was only coming here to greet my student Len back to the temple after so many years." said Moshi to the now named Sue.

This earned a surprised look from both Asuron and Artem.

Sue then looked at the three new arrivals, and at the children hiding behind the rock, and let out a sigh.

"Master Moshi, Len died a long time ago. Besides none of them look like him." said Sue to her master

She then came up to the three demons and bowed to them.

"I am very sorry if my master said something wrong." said Sue

"There is nothing wrong you should apologize about." said Asuron

Suddenly a small quake hit the mountain and made the children lose their footing.

"What was that?" asked Artem

"It is nothing. Please you should stay for dinner we always have food to spare." said Sue

"Uh, Boss I don't think it is a good idea..." began Len until Asuron shut him up.

"We would be very honored. But what of the children?" asked Asuron

"Oh they live here. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE MANNERS!" said Sue to the Children

This made the kids jump out other hiding spot and greet the three demons.

After a short time the table was set and everyone was eating happily. Except for Len who had not even said a word.

Master Moshi saw this and decided to make a conversation.

"So, tell me Len, how have you been? You certainly look different." said Master Moshi

"Master please." said Sue

"I am so sorry. My master hasn't been the same since my brother passed away many years ago." said Sue

This almost made Asuron and Artem to spit, but they held it in.

"So, what brings you to our little village?" asked one of the kids

"We are on a pilgrimage." said Len hoping to end the conversation

"Why?" asked the second boy

"Well you see young man, we are demons who have committed many sins and we are here to make amends for those sins, but I am also aiming to conquer this world." said Asuron with a straight face.

No one moved a muscle. Until suddenly Master Moshi began laughing.

"It seems that you have quite the task in front of you Len!" said Master Moshi

Sue merely hit Master Moshi over the head. Knocking him out.

"I am sorry, I think Master Moshi is tiered. I will take him back to his room, kids please pick everything. I will show you to the guest room in a second." said Sue dragging the unconscious Master Moshi.

This left the three demons some time to get some answers out in the open.

"Ok. Look I used to live here, Master Moshi took me and my sister in when we lost our parents. As i grew older I kind of got mixed with a rough crowd, and I helped them commit some very bad things. One of those things almost got my sister hurt, I stopped it, but at the cost of my own life. Next thing I knew I was in the Netherworld." explained Len

"So then you and I joined the Boss' army." said Artem

"That is also why we came this way." said Asuron

"Yeah. I hoped that I could face them now and...But I just can't! Boss help me!" said Len desperate

Suddenly another quake happened. This made the three demons run out and they spotted a jade glow coming out of the top of the mountain. Then they saw Master Moshi running up to the mountain. Then suddenly Sue and the kids showed up behind the three demons with worried looks in their faces.

"Oh No!" said Sue

"What is happening? Where is Master Moshi going to?" asked Len

"He is going to the Jade Guard's Spring." said Sue

"Why? If you don't mind me asking." asked Asuron

"Over the last few days the Jade Guard has been very angry. He claims that the one that dishonored him has returned to the world. Master Moshi must have gone to do something to calm him." explained Sue making Len go wide eye

With that said Len took off at great speed towards the spring. Asuron, Artem and Sue followed right behind.

They soon arrived at a huge cave made out of jade and at the center of the cave was a giant statue of a great dragon. Master Moshi was in front of it chanting.

The Jade Guard began to stir wildly looking straight at Master Moshi. The Jade Guard jumped at Master Moshi with open jaws, but was struck by a kick from Len.

"Two Strike Kick." said Len sending the Jade Guard back and then receiving a secondary hit.

"Oh Len, I thought that you were resting." said Master Moshi

"Master, I sorry for all that I did. I have come to make amends. I will tell you everything after I teach this overgrown pebble a lesson." said Len turning to face the Jade Guard.

Sue and the rest arrived to hear this, but Asuron told them to stay back.

The Jade Guard blasted fire at Len but he dodged it at an incredible speed. Len then pulled out his nunchuck and began spinning it and hitting the Jade Guard. The massive dragon backed away from Len.

"I know that I have offended you Jade Guard, but you should not take your anger on an old man. I wish to apologize for my past actions. So I will send you to sleep for another twenty years." said Len glowing with an ocean blue aura.

Asuron and Artem saw this and pulled both Master Moshi and Sue out of the attack's range. As the aura built up Len's shadow began to take the shape of a Pandawa, with a mohawk and a brown stitched up vest, and pants.

The Jade Guard charged at Len, but Len then unleashed his attack with his nunchuck. Many spheres of water surrounded the Jade Guard, and Len used his nunchuck to strike every single one hitting the Jade Guard. Once all the water spheres struck the Jade Guard the water transformed into ice pillars taking the Jade Guard out.

"Giga Ice!" screamed Len

The Jade Guard was now back asleep. Len made his way out of the cave where Master Moshi, Asuron, Artem, and an unconscious Sue stood waiting for him.

Through the rest of the night, Len told his master about his time in the Netherworld and his place within the Brawling Conqueror's Army. To say that Master Moshi was amazed would have been an understatement.

The next morning the three demons made their way down the mountain to go to their next job.
