Ch. 5: Race for the Flower
Shendu and the girls hurry over to the Rehmannia flowers. Shendu moved at super speed for over 30 miles so far. While they look for the field where the flowers are, Tchang Zu angrily watches through a magic window.
"The Chi Wizard knows of the cure!" he angrily screams, "On the bright side, however, I lured Shendu and that mouthy water kid out into the open. Once they find those flowers, they are gonna have an obstacle course to worry about. Then, not only will I be rid of Father's favorite son, The J-Teens will be short of two members. Awaken my shadow creatures!"
At his call, three pairs of red glowing eyes open from the shadows. Coming out of the shadows are three dark looking monsters. One is a black goat humanoid; the second is a bat-like gargoyle; and the third is a gargantuan black snake.
"Seek out my brother and the two humans with him, and destroy them!" he commanded.
The creatures vanish into the shadows.
Meanwhile, Shendu, Colleen, and Holly have found the field of Rehmannia Flowers.
"We have to collect them and fast," Shendu said.
"Right," Holly and Colleen say in unison.
They gathered as much of the flowers as they could when suddenly, they got bombarded by dark shadow balls. They got up and look to where they are coming from when they saw the shadow creatures Tchang Zu summoned.
"Shadow creatures!" Shendu cried in shock.
"We have orders to destroy you," the satyr creature.
Colleen uses the power of the Eternal Water Source to summon some water for her attack. Shendu gives her the Speed Talisman and Holly the Shape shifting talisman. Holly transforms into her anthro form ready to fight. The Shadow creatures charge at the heroes. Colleen goes against the shadow satyr; Shendu takes on the gargantuan snake; and Holly faces off against the gargoyle. The Satyr threw shadow balls at Colleen, but she uses the Eternal Source as a shield to protect herself. The Gargantuan Snake tries to attack Shendu, but he grabs it struggles to prevent him from biting. Holly and the gargoyle circle each other until the gargoyle delivered the first blow. She grabs his arms and holds him tightly as they talk.
"Who sent you creeps?" she demands.
"Our master is not to be spoken of, but he wishes to prevent you mission to save the half-breed," the gargoyle brags.
"Their master?" Shendu says as he struggles to wrestle the snake.
Colleen uses the speed Talisman to deliver a few blows to the Satyr and knock him to a tree. Then, she uses the Eternal Source power to help her entrap the Satyr in ice. Holly jumps onto the gargoyle, but he throws her to the ground.
"The boss wants us to make sure you never make it to that half-breed, so we're gonna make sure you can't get to him at any cost," the gargoyle said.
He unleashes a fog of darkness that causes him to engulf the three, his cohorts, and himself, and causes them to vanish.
