It was only a few days later that Dominic was summoned. She had been in deep meditation and now she was focused for her first demon battle. Jade as usual was disappointed she was not allowed to go. The first demon was located in Tokyo. It didn't take long for her and Jackie to locate the Dark Hand. She overheard one of them mention a riddle saying that they must find that which runs but never walks and has a mouth but never talks. As much as Dominic loved riddles this one she would have to think about. While she was thinking she felt Jade's presence nearby as their bond had not completely worn off but she couldn't worry about that right now. She and Jackie trailed closely behind the Dark hand who had made their way to the top of a building and were looking at some kind of giant toy robot.
"No demon portals here." Chow commented as Jackie lassoing his hand which was holding the panku box forcing him to drop it and alerting them to their presence.
The Enforcers started fighting Jackie while Hak Foo attacked Dominic. Jackie continued to use the rope to fight the enforcers and was quite effective with it. Hak Foo managed to deliver a powerful kick to Dominic's stomach knocking the air out of her and into Jackie preventing him from grabbing the panku box. Finn picked it up but Dominic tripped him and caught the box before rising to her feet. She passed it to Jackie Shendu, Hak Foo and the Enforcers surrounded her and Jackie.
"Jackie I'm open!" Jade called drawing attention to herself.
Jackie like always looked surprised to see her.
"Jade what are you… Why do I even bother to ask?" Jackie sighed as both he and Dominic were tackled as they tried to get the box back.
Dominic growled, her green eyes turning purple as she threw the attackers off of her using her great strength. Her dragon eyes glared at her father trapped in Valmont warning him not to come any closer. Jackie managed to kick the box to Jade. Dominic gave Jackie a look as if to say 'are you serious?' The Enforcers immediately chased after her. Jade seemed to be everywhere at once and Dominic felt herself being pulled in multiple directions eventually she spotted Jade with the box and Jackie and Hak Foo leaping through the air. Dominic landed her own flying kick on him sending him toppling through a door and almost down a flight of stairs but Hak Foo caught himself. Dominic took Jade and ran in a different direction than Jackie who still had the box. Jackie was forced to jump to the giant toy display in an attempt to escape. But the Dark Hand jumped after him causing the mechanical arm they were now all clinging to fail and fall. After setting Jade somewhere safe she dove after them trying to use her powers to slow their fall but she wasn't strong enough. And they ended up crashing to the ground.
Dominic landed next to Jackie and tried to help him up. He pulled the box out from under his shirt and that's when Hak Foo took her by surprise kicking her hard into the pile of debris dazing her.
"I'll teach you to take things that don't belong to you!" Hak Foo growled preparing to beat Jackie into a pulp but Shendu stopped him.
"I have a better idea" he grinned.
He would deal with the fact that the human had struck his daughter later. It wasn't as if she had a choice since she was still under the Chan brat's control as far as he knew.
By the time Dominic managed to get up, the Dark Hand were gone and had taken the panku box but luckily it had left a mark on Jackie's stomach when he landed on it. After a quick call to Uncle it was revealed that it was a trigram of the mountain demon Po Kong. The returned to the hotel they were staying at. Dominic left Jackie alone so he could clean himself up and deal with Jade. She needed to contemplate the riddle. She was pulled out of her train of thought when she heard Jackie scream in alarm. She burst in thinking both he and Jade were in danger but her eyes went wide at the sight of 20 Jade's.
"Oh hey Dominic?" they all greeted as if nothing was wrong.
One of the Jades explained that she had cast a duplication spell on herself and she wasn't sure why it continued to duplicate her. After getting them all some food Jackie instructed Jade to stay put and tell Uncle where they were going.
"You think she'll stay put?" Dominic asked already knowing the answer.
"I hope so." Jackie sighed as they made their way to the mouth of the river where a temple.
There didn't appear to be anyone there as they searched for the demon portal entrance that was until an eerie green beam shot out from behind them transforming a lock to match the trigram of Po Kong. Both Dominic and Jackie gaped in shock and were distracted enough allowing Ratso and Hak Foo to restrain the two of them.
"Many thanks for leading us here." Shendu commented. Dominic growled at the human holding her. She did not like being restrained by anyone nor anything. She struggled trying to break free but Hak Foo had her off the ground and was holding her in such a way that she couldn't get any leverage to break free. Jackie was having similar luck and both could do nothing as the panku box was used to open a massive portal and the mountain demon stepped through.
Po Kong gave a menacing grin down at them.
"Behold the triumphant return of my sister Po Kong the mountain demon." Shendu exclaimed.
"Must be his big sister." Ratso whispered to Finn who nodded in agreement.
"Enough fan fair." Po Kong ordered. "What's for supper?" She eyed Dominic and Jackie.
"Chan." Shendu offered. "Bon appetite'"
Po Kong grinned at the offer before also glancing over at Dominic who continued to struggle but Shendu stepped between the demon and his daughter making it clear that she was not on the menu. With the threat of being eaten Jackie found new motivation and managed to break free and make a run for it. Shendu turned to his struggling daughter and laid a hand on her face causing her to freeze and look at him.
"Be still." He ordered. Dominic gave him an apologetic look.
"You know I can't." she said her green human eyes changing to purple dragon ones and her claws coming out. She dug them into Hak Foo's side drawing blood and forcing him to let go of her. Dominic dropped to the ground and ran towards Po Kong.
"Stop her!" Shendu ordered but Dominic easily managed to avoid the Enforcers.
Po Kong had managed to catch Jackie and was about to eat him when Jade's voice rang out across the courtyard.
"Hey big bertha!" she called causing everyone to turn. Even Dominic skidded to a halt. "It's not polite to play with your food."
Po Kong only grinned at the new snack.
"Hmm another tiny portion?" the mountain demon commented.
Of all the stupid things Jade has ever done this has got to be the dumbest. She was about to put herself between the demon when the temple doors fully opened revealing around 100 Jades. Po Kong laughed as she dropped Jackie. The mountain demon leaned down to try and snag some of the Jades but Dominic leapt into the air and slammed back down into the ground. The earth responded and a spire of rock slammed into Po Kong's side knocking her onto her back and causing a mini earthquake. Dominic shifted to her dragon form and flew above the demon. Po Kong gave an angry scowl and swiped at the dragon but Dominic blasted the demon's hand and arm with an intense blue fire. Po Kong screamed out in agony. It was then that Uncle arrived with the chi spell to reseal the demon. The Jades charged the downed demon and the Dark Hand grabbing and trying to hold them down to give Uncle the time he needed. Dominic landed on the pinned demon's chest and began to tear at her with her claws. Po Kong again yelled out in pain but this time she attempted to bite the dragon but Dominic was just out of reach of the demons Uncle was finishing preparations for the spell.
"Quickly the drum!" Uncle ordered.
"Um drum?" Toru asked.
"The symbol of the immortal that banished Po Kong." Uncle stated.
"Uh I thought you had it." Toru said sheepishly.
"Eyaw! What kind of apprentice are you?" Uncle yelled.
"A lousy one." Toru sighed.
Thankfully Jackie spotted a drum in a crushed souvenir stand. They cast the spell on the drum but it needed to beat it three times. Shendu managed to break free and attempted to stop Jackie but he was thrown into the drum completing the spell. The portal reopened and began pulling Po Kong back to the demon realm. The demon dug her claws into the ground trying to keep from being pulled through. Everyone else scrambled out of the way trying not to get pulled in too. Dominic had taken to the air; her wings were powerful enough to resist the pull of the demon portal.
The portal closed as soon as Po Kong was through. In the lingering confusion Ratso snagged the panko box and they escaped. Dominic let them and instead landed by the Chans.
"The panku box is gone!" Jackie exclaimed.
"I think we have a bigger problem." Uncle commented pointing at the many Jades. "I will have to do research."
"No need Sensei I believe no finishing charm was applied to the original spell which is why it continues to duplicate." Toru commented.
Uncle gawped in surprise.
"I did some reading on the trip here." Toru admitted.
"Toru will be a good apprentice" Uncle declared.
"Did you bring the finishing charm?" Jackie asked.
Toru nodded. "But it will only work on the original Jade." He commented.
Every Jade claimed to be the original.
"Ok however cast the spell in the first place is grounded with no tv for a month." Jackie threatened. In an instant, every Jade pointed to the original expect the original of course.
"Tattle tails" the original Jade scowled crossing her arms.
Dominic gave an amused chuckle. "Well you guys seem to have this well in hand. You know how to summon me." She said taking flight and returning home.
Back at the Dark Hand's hideout Shendu passed back and forth. He was somewhat disappointed that Po Kong had been sealed away again. It would defiantly come back to bite him later on. He couldn't believe how vicious his daughter had been towards his demon sister. It was natural for dragons to be vicious towards demons but what she did was specifically designed to inflict pain. She had obviously not intended to reseal Po Kong but to kill her slowly. He needed to ask her about it when next they met but he couldn't help but feel a swell of pride at her skill and ferocity.
