Episode 2:

...Ready for It?

Episode summary:

As Team Dragon and Team Owl House settle living in Section 13 with Jackie and Jade, Dalon, the Huntsman, Monkey Fist, and the Enforcers break into a museum to steal an ancient weapon powerful enough to cut King's flesh and extract his blood, which can be used for another deadly purpose. During their fight, tensions begin to mount between Jackie and Kim as he begins to underestimate her due to her inexperience with magic, ending with Jackie getting injured by Monkey Fist. Meanwhile, in San Fransico, Jade gets to help Team Dragon and Team Owl House with researching more about Phillip Wittebane and the Huntsclan, but after finding answers, they find themselves going face to face with the bad guys, setting up their first test of teamwork.

Inside her bedroom in Section 13, Jade was awoken to the sounds of her Super Moose alarm clock. It was already 6:15 am. She would have to get up and get ready for school eventually. After shutting off her alarm clock, Jade yawned and rolled over to her left side where the smiling face of Luz Noceda greeted her as Jade continued to get woken up. "Good morning, roomie," Luz eagerly greeted, startling Jade.

"AHHHHH!" Jade yelled, grabbing a pillow and throwing it into Luz's face, but the 15-year-old Latina human witch laughed it off like it was nothing.

"Geez, Jade! It's only 6:15 am on a school day, and you're trying to start a pillow fight?" Luz asked with a playful smile. "Why not save it for later tonight?"

Jade blushed and smiled sheepishly, now remembering that she was sharing her room with Luz, Amity, and King as they, Willow, Gus, Eda, Lao Shi, Fu Dog, Jake, Rose, Spud, and Trixie were all living with her and Jackie inside Section 13 during their quest to hunt down the 11 remaining Nobel Animals. After getting the OK from all their parents, the Hexsquad and Team Dragon have made themselves at home in the underground base. And to make sure they would keep up with their studies, both human realm and magic wise, Team Dragon and the Hexsquad would be doing remote learning so they wouldn't have to miss school and kick back at home when they were done learning in record time.

"Sorry. I'm just not used to sharing my own room," Jade smiled as she finally shook off the sleepiness. She was actually loving the newly formed Mega J Team, and she had so many questions to ask Team Dragon and the Hexsquad. Even though Uncle would never allow her to learn chi spells, he and Jackie didn't say anything about Jade learning them from Luz and her friends!

"I get how you feel," Luz smiled as she stretched in bed. "But you gotta admit that us having so much fun while in the same bedroom sort of makes us like sisters!"

Jade smiled at Luz's eagerness. From their first encounter, Jade already formed a friendship with the Latina girl. During their first night, they talked about everything from Azura and Super Moose to the Boiling Isles and chi magic. "Yeah, it kind of does," Jade smiled before a curious thought hit her mind. "You're an only child, right?"

"Uh, yeah. Before I stumbled my way into the Boiling Isles, it was just me and my mom in Gravesfield," Luz smiled before she gulped as the very sad memory of losing her dad began to flash in her brain. As it began to make its way back, more very traumatic memories during their final battle with Belos also began to storm through her brain. She then shook her head to push them all aside and faced Jade with a nervous smile. "But anyway, after meeting Eda and King, learning about magic and the Demon Realm, enrolling in Hexside, and defeating Belos once and for all, my mom allowed me to stay in the Isles every school year, then I go back to the realm every summer."

"Wow and I thought living with Jackie was cool," Jade replied, still soaking in everything Luz had experienced. The Chinese girl felt a sense of surrealness over hanging out with people with their own fantastic adventures; it made her wonder how many of them were out there, waiting for their stories to be shared.

"It's been harrowing for sure but a lot of good came from Luz coming to the Isles," Amity piped up from her bed, combing her hair while using her magic to levitate a small mirror. "It's thanks to her that my relationship with my family is a lot better. And it's because our relationship is going a lot better that I can stay and hang with the J Team."

"Say Amity, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what's your family like?" asked a curious Jade. She was hoping family life in the Demon Realm wasn't that different from life in the Human Realm. Maybe Amity was an only child, or maybe she had annoying brothers or sisters. Maybe she had incredibly strict parents.

The witch stopped combing her hair and pondered Jade's inquiry. "Well, there's my dad who's an inventor, my older twin siblings Emira and Edric, and my mom who worked with Belos…"

Amity's face darkened when she mentioned her mother. "The family isn't on speaking terms with her."

Jade winced when she heard this, not expecting the relationship with her mom to be so acrimonious. It became apparent that the two witches still harbored pain from their past, especially concerning their families. It made the girl think back to her own parents; while she was separated from them for long periods of time, at least she could talk to them when she needed it and she knew both of them loved her.

Sensing the change in mood, King, with Super Moose and his stuffed bunny, Francois, tucked under his arm, spoke up, "I'm just happy that I get to hang out with a family I get to choose. It's great hanging with Luz and Amity like this and I get to make friends here, like Jade, Scruffy…"

The young Titan then held up Super Moose. "…And this guy! So far Earth has been even better than Eda or Luz described it!"

The three girls smiled at King, feeling his optimism. No matter what happened, they now had each other to count on.

"Right on, we think in the now," a reenergized Amity said as she gently set her mirror down, "Let's seize the day ladies and King!"

"At what better way to seize than with the most important meal of the day," chirped Luz, "Let's get ready and head downstairs before all the good stuff is gone!"

"Ooooh, I hope they have waffles!" Jade said, with Amity adding, "I want bananas on my waffles!"

"I've been dying to have waffles! Luz told me they come in this sticky substance called syrup!" King happily exclaimed. "I hope I can bring some back to the Ilses and set new traps for my enemies!"

Luz, Amity, and Jade giggled at King's antics. "You'll want to keep as much syrup away from King." Luz whispered to Jade.

At the dining table in Section 13's mess hall, Jackie was reading a newspaper, while Rose, Spud and Jake happily dug into the variety of breakfast foods.

"Yo Mr. Chan my compliments to the chef! Section 13 has a better spread than I would have imagined," Jake happily commented in between chewing on scrambled eggs.

"Glad you enjoy it, and please, you can all call me Jackie," the older man happily said as he returned to his paper. Inwardly however, Jackie was in turmoil; he still couldn't get over the fact that one of his old archeology buddies was now a maniacal monkey madman.

Jackie set his paper down, unable to concentrate on it as his mind thought back to the past; while somewhat aloof and distant, Montgomery Fiske was still cordial to his fellow archeologists, becoming fast friends with Jackie in particular. Monty had a genuine love for all things monkey and history even back then, genuinely wanting to learn the history of Asia from those who lived there. It was this enthusiasm that led to Jackie sharing the story of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, unwittingly sending Monty down the path of Monkey Fist.

'There has to be someone to change him back…then again how can you save someone with actual monkey hands and feet?' Jackie thought to himself grimly. He distracted himself from his morbid thoughts by trying to strike up a conversation with the kids.

"So how have you three been liking it here so far?"

Rose responded with pep, "It's hard to even remember it's an agency building; it's so accommodating on the upper floors. And we could always explore San Francisco if we ever get bored or cooped up."

"Jake, how's your grandfather?" Jackie asked.

"Oh, he's doing fine. He and Fu are staying with Uncle and helping him out with the shop. G needs something to do since he's closed up shop back in NYC." Jake said before sipping his milk.

The former Huntsgirl sipped her juice and got a little more serious on Rose next subject, "It was a little hard to convince my parents to stay stateside, but they came around when I told them Jake's grandpa would be chaperoning the whole time."

"My rents were OK with it too, as long as I promised to email and call them every week. My little sister said she was really going to miss me too." Jake said with a smile, his mind going toward his little sister, Haley, who was also half-dragon. "When I told my dad about this place, he was amazed! As if learning his son, daughter, and wife were dragons wasn't anymore mind blowing to him."

Jackie's eyes went wide while he was sipping his morning coffee. "Your entire family are dragons?" he asked with surprise.

"Well, just my mom's side." Jake explained. "Basically, my friends found out, then my girlfriend, and finally my dad. I had so many adventures it would probably take the whole fall and winter to tell."

Rose smiled and giggled. "Also, we'll be doing school via remote learning. And when we get done, we can have fun for the rest of the day!" she chirped.

Spud took a sip of his orange juice and sighed happily before saying, "And the fact that we're doing school all online without having walking all the way to the bus stop is going to make our freshman year a snap!" He then put his feet up on the table, making Jackie and Jake smile amusedly at Spud.

"Believe it or not, Spud very gifted, even though he likes to slack off during class." Jake whispered, making Jackie giggle before noticing Eda passing by the table, wearing a robe and slippers, carrying a mug filled with coffee, looking very tired.

"Good morning, Eda." Jackie smiled and waved, but Eda snorted, clearly not in the mood.

"How could you even tell it's a good morning? Is it sunny? Dreary?" Eda snarked. "Oh, wait. That's right. You can't because we're underground!" Jackie was baffled by her attitude. "Sorry. My head's been acting up. I need my apple blood."

Rose then spoke up as the owl lady left the mess hall. "She's not the only one who's dealing with headaches." Rose said, feeling another headache as more bad memories involving her former life as a Huntsgirl came rushing in. She groaned before taking another sip of her juice, alleviating some of the pain.

"Are you sure you're OK, Rose?" Jackie asked, not wanting to seem like he's butting into her personal life, but since he's a legal guardian of Jade because he's her uncle, he has the mindset of a concerned parent right now.

Jake then gulped, also feeling concerned for his girlfriend as well, but Rose then smiled and took a bite of her eggs before speaking. "Please don't worry about me, Mr.-I mean, Jackie. I'm sure with time as I regain all my memories, the pain will stop." Rose blushed and giggled, allowing a smile to form on Jackie and Jake's faces. "After all, it was Jake who found me and helped discover my past life before. And let me say, I couldn't ask for the most perfect boyfriend in the world."

Rose kissed Jake's cheek, making him blush a shade of red that rivaled his dragon form, and Jackie giggled. Just then, Jade, Amity, Luz, and King arrived, carrying trays of their breakfast, and Jade eagerly listened to Luz's adventures of her time on the Boiling Isles. "No way! You mean to tell me that giraffes were actually part of the Boiling Isles, but they got banished into the Human Realm?" Jade asked with an excited smile as Amity helped King into his highchair.

Luz chuckled. "Yeah. I couldn't believe it either." She smiled, loving Jade's enthusiasm before asking, "Say Amity, you never did tell me, how did your, Willow, Vee, and Gus's encounter with that giraffe go?"

Amity gulped as Luz was talking about when she, Willow, Gus, and Hunter were trapped in the Human Realm with Luz and tried to find answers to build a door to the Demon Realm. They even went to the zoo, thinking that the giraffes had some answer, since they were originally part of the Boiling Isles. But then Willow took a picture… "Let's just say that I'm glad my ancestors banished those freaks." Amity chuckled nervously, but Jade's awe-struck face never faded.

"You know I always thought the legend of the qilin was just people not knowing what a giraffe was, but I think they might have been on to something…" Jackie commented.

"Oh, we have all sorts of crazy adventures we need to tell you about! There's the time we had to take care of a monster during a rainstorm, when me, Eda and King swapped bodies, oh and there was that one time we had to save Eda's familiar from the Bat Queen!" Luz excitedly rattled off her past adventures on the Boiling Isles.

Jade was all ears, eagerly listening to what Luz had to say. Jackie on the other hand was getting worried that his niece was getting overstimulated with all these wild tales and spoke up, "Not to be rude Luz but perhaps you can tell us more about the more laid-back adventures you had. Something like you and King writing a poem together maybe?" His main responsibility to Jade is to make sure she never got hurt or in any danger, and most of the time, that was extremely difficult considering Jade loved to play stowaway, coming along on his adventures even though he told her to stay put.

"Jackie…" Jade let out an annoyed grunt.

"Actually, I can see where your uncle is coming from Jade," Luz said, getting uncharacteristically serious. "Sure, the lighter stuff is fun to tell other people but there were times there was serious danger that I wasn't always prepared for, times I wish I could live without. Did I ever tell you about Belos?"

"Belos? I think you and Amity might have mentioned him a couple of times…right?" Jade replied uncertainly.

"Let me give you a more detailed lowdown; Belos was in reality a human man named Philip Wittebane who was trapped in the Boiling Isles. Through treachery and deception, Philip managed to rule over the witches as their emperor while secretly plotting to destroy them all," Luz explained, her tone grave, "He revealed his plan and identity on the Day of Unity, an event he created that almost exterminated the Boiling Isles had we not caught on."

"Whoa," was all Jade could muster. Hearing more about the kind of person the Hex Squad had to face really put into perspective the troubles they went through. It even made her look back at the kinds of villains her family fought; while Valmont and the Enforcers were more along the lines of evil she could handle, forces like Daolon Wong and Shendu could easily give Belos a run for his money if left unchecked. It was scary to think about.

To Luz's side, Amity became slightly downcast at the mention of the Day of Unity; it still hurt to know that her own mother was complicit in Belos' scheme and was willing to wipe out the other witches for a slice of power. It just reaffirmed her choice to cut Odalia Blight out of her life.

"Thankfully, Belos is gone and can't hurt anyone anymore," Luz perked up a bit, "It was one of the most horrifying parts of living in a dimension with demons, but I'm glad everyone can live peacefully knowing he can't influence anything anymore."

Jake and Rose looked contemplative while listening to Luz talk about Belos; the man's anti witch rhetoric rang familiar to them in the worst possible way.

"You know, this Phillip Wittebane and his obsession with wiping out witches sounds a lot like the Huntsclan's goal of exterminating anything magical," Rose said, "I wonder if it's not a coincidence…"

With that thought in her head, Rose stood up and walked away from the dining table, hurriedly saying, "Sorry to cut breakfast early but I need to think about some things."

Noticing Rose's quick exit, Jackie asked Jake, "Is she going to be alright?"

"Yeah, just something she has to work out by herself," Jake replied empathetically, "And if we're on the same wavelength, I can guess what it is."

Her confidence not completely shaken, Jade spoke to brighten the mood, "Hey, this just means that when you put all our experience together, the Mega J Team can do anything we put our minds. If we have a whole squad who took down Belos, what hope does Monkey Fist or Daolon Wong have?"

"Hey little missy, "Mega J Team" is only temporary. We still workshopping a proper team name over here," Trixie pointed out as she approached the table with her tray of breakfast.

"I'm personally fond of the name "Legion of Super-Heroes". We have enough people here for a legion and they're all pretty super and heroic," Spud mused.

Trixie frowned at his suggestion and replied, "Boy, I can name several reasons why that name will not work here."

Shifting the attention back to Jade, Amity smiled, "I think I speak for Luz and me when I say that we're honored to stand with fellow teen adventurers. With our might and magic, we'll easily get the Noble Animals and stop any evil plan. It's just like the books we used to read!"

"Ho yeah, this little mama is ready to do some good for the world!" Luz exclaimed, now properly pumped up.

"Hey, I'm the American Dragon; doing good is practically second nature for me," Jake claimed audaciously.

Jade was now grinning from ear to ear, her troop now rallied. "Man, I just love it when a team comes together. Comic books have nothing on this!"

As Jade and her new friends were now enjoying themselves, Jackie couldn't help crack an uneasy smile: 'Just what exactly do these kids have in store for me?' the man wearily thought.

Meanwhile, in the darkest corners of the city, inside Daolon Wong's hideout, the old dark chi wizard was mumbling to himself, still upset over losing the Noble Dog to Jackie Chan and his new team. And luckily, he wasn't alone in his disappointment and rage. "Oh, how this burns!" Daolon growled, "It was irksome to deal with the old chi wizard and his family, but now I must try to defeat a team of witches, a Titan, two good dragons, a female ninja, and two average adolescents?!"

Suddenly, someone threw a vase near Daolon's head, but he didn't even flinch. "Believe me, those two are no mere average teenagers," Monkey Fist seethed, emerging from the shadows. "Take it from someone who has many close encounters with Kim Possible and her meddlesome sidekick, Ron Stoppable. Even though I have come close to defeating them, their meddling is not to be underestimated. Especially with Stoppable's Mystical Monkey Powers."

"You think you have it bad?!" the Huntsman growled, throwing another vase near Daolon's head, yet the dark chi wizard still didn't flinch. He then faced Monkey Fist with a deadly glare. "At least your enemies don't have powers and can be killed easily! But now the only things stopping me from rebuilding my clan are a teenaged dragon and my traitorous niece who destroyed my plans!"

Right behind the Huntsman, 88 and 89 were shuddering in fear, yet in awe over the Huntsman's new determination. "Gee, never seen him this hyped up. Except with the Skulls," 88 commented.

"That's good though. He's spending so much time focusing his anger on the American Dragon and the traitor, he won't focus on us if we mess up," 89 smirked, but their relief was short lived when a vase was thrown at their feet.

"I can hear you," The Huntsman warned, "And don't think that you can use the fact that you two brought me back into existence to escape your duties as henchmen!"

Just then, Finn stepped up to the magical creature hunter. He wasn't really keen on working with a dark chi wizard, a hunter of unicorns and dragons, and a half human half monkey hybrid, but he, Ratso, and Chow loved their new powers and weapons. "Hey man, chillax! We're all on the same team." He grinned, but there was no sign of even a smirk under the Huntsman's helmet.

"Yeah, besides, we still got 11 more Noble Animals to find. Chances are we can Chan and his hero team 11 to 1!" Chow smirked as he stood next to Monkey Fist, but the former archaeologist also wasn't losing his glare as well.

"Yeah! And it could be a whole lot worse. We could be dealing with aliens," Ratso smiled stupidly. Daolon growled at that. And the Enforcers smiled nervously as they backed away from the three villain leaders.

Dalon then sighed. "Despite my warriors' futile efforts to bring us joy, they do have a valid point," he said, smirking evilly as he continued, "Even though the enemies have gotten one animal, they'll be naïve to think that they can protect the remaining 11."

"Yes, and with those powers at our disposal, we will be unstoppable," the Huntsman smirked, "But we must remain cautious because those young witches and the Titan will prove a challenge to get rid of."

Daolon then looked straight into the Huntsman's eyes with growing curiosity. "You know, I must admit, I'm growing more curious about these young witches and a Titan as you call them. Surely you must know more and if you do, please share it with us," he requested.

"I don't know, Big D. That creature with the horns may look like a Titan, or whatever you want to call it, but there's no way those kids were witches," Finn said.

"Yeah! Aren't witches supposed to be really old and have very long noses?" Ratso asked stupidly.

"Those witches are not the ones as many humans were led to believe by reading folklore," the Huntsman said. "Beyond this realm lies the Demon Realm where every myth that we humans know are actually from. And the place where they're born? The Boiling Isles."

"You don't say," Chow said awestruck.

"It's a place that's been studied for years by the Huntsclan, but we have always thought it would be unreachable to humans. But now, it seems that more humans have managed to find it," the Huntsman said.

"Oh yeah, I remember this in the Huntsman training course," 89 interrupted. "One of the first one to ever find it was a guy named Philip Wittebane; only a few of his findings were ever recovered. I wonder why those two things are so important though."

"Did they teach you nothing of substance in that course!?" growled the Huntsman ferociously, making his lackey shrink back in mortal terror. Composing himself, the Huntsman began to explain, "Phillip Wittebane wasn't just "a guy"; he's the very founder of the Huntsclan itself and should be treated the respect that entails."

"Whoa hold up…" Finn made a T symbol with his two hands, "You mean to say that your founder was one of the first to ever visit a straight up demonic realm? Can this get any trippier?"

"I speak the truth," the Huntsman continued, "The Huntsclan originally started as a witch hunter group based here in the mortal realm during the era of colonial trials, headed by Caleb and Phillip Wittebane. Suddenly the brothers vanished; the nascent Huntsclan searched everyone for them but only found excerpts from Phillip's journal."

The Huntsman's look hardened as he continued telling his tale, confident that he knew the whole story of the Wittebanes, "It was here that not only were witches indeed real but a whole host of demons and other magical creatures existed. With the two brothers thought to have been killed by these monsters, the Huntsclan were emboldened and sought revenge for their leaders. For centuries the Huntsclan amassed power and knowledge in all things mystical, with the goal of destroying these magical vermin before they have a chance of destroying the mortal realm."

"I never knew the Huntsclan history went that deep; if you think about it, we're the real heroes fighting off the magic menace," 88 beamed, the irony unknowingly lost to him.

"I certainly am one for history but that doesn't change the fact that it's all history," Monkey Fist pointed out, "The Wittebanes aren't relevant to our quest or the rebuilding of your clan."

"Oh, but it is indeed very relevant Mr. Fiske!" the Huntsman shouted, now in high spirits. "Resurrecting the clan was always top priority but these new developments have brought about brand-new opportunities!"

"What kind of opportunities Mr. Huntsman?" Ratso asked, a bit scared by the anti-magic rhetoric the villain was shouting.

The Huntsman tented his fingers, going over the ideas rushing through his head now that the Titans and the Boiling Isles were brought up. "According to Phillip Whittebane, Titan blood is so seeped with magic that it was rumored to open a portal between the human and demon realm. More importantly, it's potent enough to kill dragons, no matter how big or strong they are; with a resurrected Huntsclan, we can pick up right where we left off with the Aztec Skulls."

Now it was Daolon's turn to get new ideas; indeed there were brand new opportunities now that a Titan was on the board and that's without forgetting that the Noble Animals were still theirs for the taking. It was times like these where Sun Tzu's teachings were helpful.

"Comrades, gather around," the sorcerer grinned evilly, "I think I might have a plan that could benefit all of us."

Meanwhile, over in Middleton, Kim and Ron were stepping into Kim's bedroom, having just got done with school for the day and ready to relax. "Whew. I am so glad we're home," Kim sighed, exhausted, "These past few weeks have been mentally ferocious."

"Tell me about it, KP. Barkin's been driving me crazy by doing those crab walks," Ron commented, massaging his feet as he flopped down onto his girlfriend's bed. "I've been working hard for the team and he hasn't shown me one smidge of gratitude!"

Kim smirked in agreement. "Totally. Who cares about the quarter back? In my eyes, Ronnie, you're my Tom Brady," she smiled. That allowed Ron to smile back before giving his girlfriend a kiss on the cheek, making her giggle. Just then, the Kimmunicator rang. Kim immediately answered it, "Hey Wade. What's the sitch?"

"Nothing much. I was actually going through some of the info Luz and her friends gave me about the Boiling Isles. And I gotta say, it's like if Tim Burton wrote for Middle Earth," Wade smirked.

"Totally! I bet that King can conquer a Basilisk way more easily than Azura the Good Witch could!" Ron smiled, letting his geek come out. Kim rolled her eyes amusedly.

"Well, Luz and her friends did step up when we first met them. And Amity sure did wow me with that Abomination goo," Kim grinned.

"And check this out: apparently giraffes were native to the Boiling Isles but got banished," Wade added, much to Kim's confusion.

"Wait. Giraffes were not from this realm?" Kim asked, completely weirded out. "I was shocked over the fact that witches, dragons, and wizards existed, but that almost broke the weirdness scale."

Ron's eyes widened. "Hey! I just thought of something!" he smiled. "If giraffes were not from this realm, do you think monkeys weren't too?"

Kim sighed to herself. She loved Ron dearly but his theories were a bit too outlandish. Some were true of course, but others were too farfetched. "I don't know. I could ask around," Wade commented but then an alarm sounded on his computer. "Guys, big hit! It looks like Monkey Fist and his new crew have been spotted in Oakland, about to break into a museum!"

"Oakland? What do you think they want there? I don't think they'll allow animals in their museum." Ron commented.

"Probably looking for an artifact to help them track down the 11 remaining Noble Animals. We're on it," Kim smiled. "And contact Jackie, Wade. We could probably use his help as well."

"Already on it," Wade smirked before hanging up while Kim and Ron got suited up to take on the bad guys.
