It is another day in Heaven and Gwen is communicating with Kai-Ming and the Connery triplets through Grandpa Earnest's magic mirror about the latest updates about the Devil and his plans.
"So, the Devil has some forbidden powerful dark magic to break through the barrier?" Gwen asked.
"According to Agent Hobgoblin, yes." Bethany answered.
"That's not all. The Devil's forming possibly the biggest army of demons to attack Heaven. He's gathering all the demons he can summon." Kai-Ming added.
"Oh wow." Clarence said.
"He's really going through with this." Earnest said.
"Oh Gwen, whenever you get a chance, will you mirror me later so I can discuss my latest ideas with magical equipment and weapons, and we can bring them to reality and do some more testing? I even have some ideas for our magic carpets." Beatrix asked holding up some sketches.
"Sure, Beatrix." Gwen said.
"But what if the Devil discovers our imp undercover agent and kills him?" Barrett asked.
"Don't worry Barrett. Even if the Devil did discover and killed him which he probably might, I'll just resurrect him and bring him back to you guys." Gwen assured him holding up her ink pen.
"You see brother? I told you she'd never let us down." Bethany said.
"I know Beth." Barrett said.
"Anyway, we'll keep monitoring Agent Hobgoblin's progress and receive more updates. I'll see if he can find out when exactly he plans to strike." Kai-Ming said.
"Thank you, Kai-Ming." Gwen thanked.
"You're welcome, Gwen. We'll talk later." Kai-Ming said.
"Okay. Bye." Gwen said as the reflection disappeared.
Gwen faced Clarence and Earnest.
"Looks like the Devil's been a busy bee lately." Gwen said.
"Yeah. He's really building his army." Earnest said.
"But we'll be ready for them." Clarence assured them.
"I hope so." Gwen said.
Later Gwen and Clarence join the cups in the newly discovered playroom. The cups play with some of the toys they bought from the countries they visited.
"So, how'd you and Kai-Ming meet?" Clarence asked.
"She was there that day we were at the carnival when that bad conman kidnapped me. She saved me that day before you showed up. It turned out I was being investigated ever since I was found and came home before settling back at the cottage. We never knew it, but she was always there the whole time." Gwen explained.
"Wow. Is that how she found out about the Inkwell Isles and the toons?" Clarence asked.
"Yes. She had me bring her to Inkwell City. We were both attacked by the Devil, but Cerulean Bolt outflew him and she and I formed an alliance after we escaped. She wanted to study the cartoon world and now she's formed a branch in the bureau and took on 3 apprentices to follow in her footsteps. They've taken over with protecting Inkwell City in my absence." Gwen answered.
"Wow." Clarence said.
"I wonder why she joined the FBI in the first place?" Cuphead asked.
"Where did she grow up?" Mugman asked.
"And how did she get to be supervisor?" Ms. Chalice asked.
"Guys, it's her life. She's worked very hard to get to where she is now. It's not easy being a secret agent. It takes a special kind of person. Besides, she was originally from China." Gwen answered.
"China?" All 3 cups asked.
"Yeah. She's Chinese. Kai-Ming told me." Gwen answered.
"I bet it was hard growing up in a place like that." Clarence said.
"Oh yeah. The people there have strict traditions and women are looked down upon there too." Gwen answered.
"Could we go visit?" Cuphead asked.
"I dunno guys." Gwen said unsure.
"Come on, we're bored already and so are you." Ms. Chalice pointed out.
Gwen sighed.
"Fine. Gwen reluctantly agreed.
Gwen teleports the group and they appear in the imperial city of Beijing.
"Guys, welcome to Beijing, China." Gwen announced.
"Wow, so many people here." Mugman said.
"That's because China has the largest human population in the world." Clarence answered.
"So, what's there to see?" Cuphead asked.
"Leave that to me." Gwen said.
Gwen summoned Cerulean Bolt, they hopped on and started flying over China.
First, they visit China's most famous landmark: The Great Wall of China.
"Wow, that's a really huge wall!" Mugman exclaimed.
"That's right Mugsy." Clarence answered.
"Why did the Chinese even built that wall in the first place?" Cuphead asked.
"To keep out the northern invaders from Europe." Gwen answered.
"Oh, so the Great Wall protects them." Ms. Chalice said.
"Exactly, now let's go. There's plenty more sights to see." Gwen said.
They fly and see China's famous places including the Le Shan Giant Buddha statue, the Yu Garden, the Forbidden City, the army of Terracotta warriors and many palaces and temples to follow. Next, they fly over a bamboo forest where they noticed a family of pandas.
Gwen gasped.
"Pandas!" Gwen exclaimed excitedly.
The others looked down and noticed the pandas.
"Ooh! Let's go down there!" Ms. Chalice said.
Cerulean Bolt flew down to the pandas where the mother noticed their presence at a safe distance. Gwen hopped off her magic carpet.
"It's okay. We're not here to hurt you. We just want a look at you." Gwen spoke to the mother panda.
The mother panda made grunting noises.
"Thank you. By the way, your cubs are so cute." Gwen complimented.
The group noticed 3 little panda cubs looking curiously at them. One of them crawled up to Gwen and sniffed her.
"It's okay little fella." Gwen said gently.
The panda cub wrapped his paws around her leg and made squeaking noises.
"Aww!" All 3 cups exclaimed.
The group hop off the magic carpet and check out the little panda cubs. Another panda cub wrapped around Clarence's leg.
"Aw, look at you little rascal." Clarence said as the panda cub climbed up his legs into his arms.
Gwen holds the panda cub in her arms. The cups knelt at the other panda cub.
"Aww, look at you!" Cuphead said in a cute voice.
Just then, the panda cub started drinking milk from Cuphead's head.
"Yep. Here we go again." Cuphead said unamused.
Gwen and Clarence placed the other 2 panda cubs down and joined the other cub drinking milk from the other 2 cups.
"Why do these things happen to us?" Mugman asked.
"Hey, how would you like it to have someone to drink out of your head?" Ms. Chalice asked the panda cubs.
"Aw come on guys. I'm sure they were hungry." Gwen said.
After drinking milk, the panda cubs returned to their mother.
"Thank you. And goodbye." Gwen thanked.
The panda mother made grunting noises.
Later, they fly further south to the famous city of Hong Kong. They enter a local gift shop and purchase fine silk scarves, fans, jade jewelry, Chinese knots, miniature toys of the Terracotta soldiers and lion dancers, lanterns and fortune cats. The cups also pick out 3 panda plush toys.
Clarence puts on a beautiful jade necklace on Gwen, and she puts on a dragon pendant around his neck.
"They say these will protect us from harm." Clarence said as they were leaving.
"Yeah. Or we could get our money back." Gwen said and laughed.
Later, they stop at a local restaurant for lunch. They order kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, dumplings, egg rolls, fried rice and steamed pork buns. For dessert, they order moon cakes, mochi and almond cookies.
"Wow, this food is awesome!" Cuphead said, eating a dumpling.
"Yeah, it's cool how they use two sticks instead of a fork to eat." Mugman added, trying to use his chopsticks.
"Mugsy, they're called chopsticks." Clarence corrected him as he ate sweet and sour pork.
"I don't get why Kai-Ming left this fascinating country. They have the most delicious food I've ever eaten. Her husband Haoyu is the best Chinese cook." Ms. Chalice mentioned as she ate a pork bun.
"Wait a minute, how'd you know that?" Gwen asked suspiciously.
"Oh, um… I may've had an encounter with Kai-Ming before all of this and met her family." Ms. Chalice nervously confessed.
"Chalice, we told you thousands of times not to sneak into the human world without us!" Gwen scolded.
"I know! I know! But Kai-Ming saved me and kept our secret. She showed me how the human world works, and her 3 daughters love me too." Ms. Chalice explained.
"Well, you were very lucky Kai-Ming saved you and brought you home." Clarence sternly said.
"I'm sorry guys." Ms. Chalice apologized.
"Just don't sneak away again." Cuphead said.
"And by yourself." Mugman added.
"Don't worry I won't." Ms. Chalice promised.
They all grabbed their glasses of green tea.
"To a Chinese day of fun!" Cuphead toasted.
They clinked their glasses and sipped their tea, unaware a local was eavesdropping on them.
Later they leave the restaurant and look around Hong Kong.
"So, what do you guys wanna do now?" Gwen asked.
"Hey look! Those guys are fighting down that alleyway!" Cuphead exclaimed and pointed.
The group looked and noticed 2 men fighting with a crowd cheering.
"Cuphead, they're using kung fu." Clarence said.
"What's kung fu?" Mugman asked.
"It's a Chinese martial art. Fighting for honor and all that stuff." Gwen answered.
"Uh Gwen? I think they're street fighting. They fight for money, not honor." Ms. Chalice said, noting the ringleader giving the winner some yuan.
"Ouch." Both cups winced, noticing many losers badly beaten up.
"Chalice is right. Those people will learn kung fu to make money these days." Clarence said.
"Hey, look! They're looking for another opponent!" Mugman said, pointing.
They watched the winner who was tall and muscular with several dragon tattoos on his arms and chest.
"Alright, who's next to challenge the champion: the Dragon God?" The ringleader announced.
Nobody dared to volunteer, too afraid to get beaten up.
"Nobody huh?" The ringleader asked, disappointed.
"Perhaps I should pick my next opponent." Dragon God said.
"Where are you gonna find someone dumb enough to fight you?" The ringleader asked.
"There's gotta be someone." Dragon God said.
Dragon God looked and scanned the crowd only to notice the group leaving.
"I think I just found the one." Dragon God said.
He hurriedly rushed toward Gwen and her friends.
"Woah there!" Clarence exclaimed.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Gwen asked suspiciously.
"Funny you foreigners should ask. I am the kung fu street fighter champion Long Wang Lee. Also known as the Dragon God! I was named after the god of dragons. I wish I could become one but Dragon style kung fu is close enough. I challenge the blonde American to a fight!" Long Wang introduced himself, showing off his muscles.
The group is unimpressed as Clarence was shocked.
"Me? Fight you? No way!" Clarence declined.
"Look buddy, we don't have time for your stupid flexing, and you are not laying a finger on my fiancé. We have more important matters to attend to. And by the way, you are not a dragon. You're just another human." Gwen bravely insulted.
The crowd gasped at Gwen standing up to the Dragon God himself. Long Wang laughed at Gwen.
"How cute of you little redhead American girl. Standing up to the champion himself. Perhaps you would like to challenge me?" Long Wang tauntingly asked.
"No! Don't do it!" Clarence protested.
Gwen is unfazed by his behavior, making Long Wang confused.
"You are not afraid of me. Impressive I'll give you that." Long Wang said impressed.
"I fear no human." Gwen said with bravery in her tone.
The crowd is awed by Gwen's bravery.
"Then it's settled." Long Wang said with a smirk.
"What, what is settled?" Clarence asked.
"I challenge you to a battle!" Long Wang challenged Gwen.
Gwen is still not intimidated, having tricks of her own.
"I must warn you; you're messing with the wrong girl." Gwen subtly warned.
Long Wang laughed at her as the cups and Clarence were feeling fed up with his antics.
"You really got a strange sense of humor miss uh…?" Long Wang said until he didn't know her name.
"Gwendolyn Mae Emmons. Gwen for short." Gwen introduced herself.
"Well… Gwen. What is your fighter name?" Long Wang asked.
Gwen thinks for a moment until she got an idea.
"Then call me the Imagination Goddess." Gwen answered.
"Weird fighter name. But it'll do. To the fighting ring!" Long Wang said and announced.
With no other option, the group follow Long Wang into the fighting ring.
"Alright folks! We have our new challenger! The Dragon King vs. the… Imagination Goddess." The ringleader announced, not taking Gwen seriously.
The crowd laughed at her, but Gwen ignored them.
"We'll see who gets the last laugh." Cuphead said.
"I hope you have a plan Gweny." Mugman said nervously.
"Don't worry guys. I do have a plan." Gwen assured them.
"I could possess him if you want." Ms. Chalice offered.
"No. Thanks though. I got this one." Gwen kindly declined.
Clarence rubbed her shoulders.
"Honey, you don't have to do this." Clarence said nervously.
"It's okay honey. I'll teach this brute a lesson he'll never forget." Gwen assured him.
"Yeah, she took down bad guys, gangs and poachers, remember? She's always got tricks up her sleeve." Ms. Chalice reminded him.
"I know but still…" Clarence said unsure.
Just then, the gong was heard, thus the fight has begun. Gwen took off her silver bracelet and handed it to Clarence.
"Hold this." Gwen instructed.
"Alright fighters you know the rules. There are none!" The ringleader announced as the audience cheered.
Gwen enters the ring as Long Wang did a kung fu pose, trying to intimidate her. But Gwen remained still, not saying anything. Now getting angry, he jumps and attempts to jump kick her. But to his shock, she stopped him by holding out her hand.
Suddenly, Gwen used the wind element to blow him away, shocking everyone watching.
"I knew she had tricks up her sleeve." Ms. Chalice said proudly.
"Eh, she's just gettin' started." Cuphead said.
Long Wang gets up from the ground, now furious at Gwen.
"I don't know what trickery you have, but you made this dragon furious!" Long Wang angrily yelled.
"And you're a disgrace to kung fu." Gwen insulted.
The crowd laughed as Long Wang took offense.
"You will regret messing with me!" Long Wang yelled.
He attempted to punch her, but she used her light element to blind him.
"AHH! My eyes!" Long Wang yelled.
Gwen used her superstrength to punch Long Wang and blew him crashing into a wall, leaving his mark as he slumped to the ground, feeling weakened.
Everyone stared in shock at Gwen as she wiped her hands. She approached a defeated Long Wang as he weakly looked up at her.
"What are you waiting for? Just knock me out and bask in your glory." Long Wang said, feeling defeated.
To his surprise, she doesn't attack. Instead, she heals his injuries and helps him up. He stared at Gwen in confusion.
"You healed me? Why?" Long Wang asked.
"Because I'm not like you Long Wang. Defeating you would've made me bad as you were. You are a great fighter; you have great skill. But I can tell you've had it tough your whole life. I wish you'd use your skills for good things instead of these dangerous moneymaking stunts. I really wish you the best Long Wang." Gwen explained in wisdom to his shock.
"Zàijiàn." Gwen said goodbye in Chinese.
Gwen erased the memories of everyone except Long Wang who stood there stunned at Gwen's actions and words. Then she walked away with her friends. Clarence wrapped his arm around Gwen.
"I'm so proud of you honey. You meant it when you said you'd teach him a lesson he'll never forget." Clarence complimented.
"I bet he's gonna remember this for a long time." Cuphead said.
"I know I will." Mugman added.
"Yep, I had to be the better woman. Maybe he'll take my advice maybe he won't. It's his choice." Gwen said.
"Yep, the gods had a strong point about never messing with people's freewill." Ms. Chalice admitted.
"I'm proud of you guys for seeing my point. I learned a lot from the gods." Gwen complimented.
Just then, a young but older than Gwen Chinese woman approached Gwen.
"That was amazing back there." The woman complimented.
"Thank you. I was proving a point to him." Gwen thanked.
"Look, I know it's rude to eavesdrop, but I overheard you talking earlier about someone named… Kai-Ming?" The woman nervously said.
"There could many Kai-Mings here. Unless you know one in particular." Gwen said.
"Just one. The Kai-Ming I knew married the chef Haoyu Cheng and left for America." The woman revealed.
The group's eyes widened in shock.
"Wait, how do you know that?" Ms. Chalice asked.
The woman sighed.
"Because Kai-Ming… is my older sister. The woman revealed.
The group's mouths opened in shock.
"Who… who are you?" Clarence asked.
"My name is Li Jing Zhang. Kai-Ming Cheng used to be Kai-Ming Zhang." Li Jing introduced herself.
"Gwendolyn Mae Emmons. Gwen for short. This is Clarence Hopewell, Cuphead, Mugman and Ms. Chalice." Gwen introduced.
"Kai-Ming never mentioned you." Cuphead said.
"All we knew was she used be from China as her husband was too." Mugman added.
Li Jing gasped, never mentioning her.
"Come with me. I will explain everything." Li Jing said.
The group follow Li Jing to a nearby park with beautiful peach blossoms.
"Ooh! Peaches!" Cuphead said excitedly.
The cups each picked a peach and started eating.
"Okay let's hear it. Kai-Ming's past." Gwen said.
Li Jing sighed.
"I guess her story began a long time ago." Li Jing started.
Li Jing remembers herself as a child with her sister Kai-Ming playing together in their house.
"We grew up together and we always stuck together. Although we had each other, our mother and father were very strict and expected us to be what they wanted us to be. Proper women and serve men like our father and whoever we would marry when we grow up." Li Jing said.
"Sounds like my childhood too." Gwen said.
"Honey, let her continue." Clarence said.
"Anyway, Kai-Ming was totally rebellious. She always had a dream of joining law enforcement and arrest bad guys, but our parents did not support her dream at all. Also, she was in love with someone else. A simple cook at a nearby restaurant. But our father was strongly against it and forbade it." Li Jing continued.
"Haoyu Cheng." Ms. Chalice said, knowing who she was talking about.
"Shì de." Li Jing confirmed.
"So, if Kai-Ming was expected to be the 'perfect woman', what happened?" Cuphead asked.
"Yeah. What did happen next?" Mugman asked.
Li Jing sighed heavily.
"And then… one day, our father announced to us at dinner that he and mother arranged Kai-Ming's betrothal to this older corrupt politician and bring us up to the upper class. Kai-Ming was against it and refused to go along with it. Father was furious with her. He threatened if she did not go through with the wedding the next day, she will be subjected to severe punishment." Li Jing sadly revealed.
"Woah." Clarence said.
"Kai-Ming formulated a plan as I watched with a heavy heart. She packed whatever she could and left our home. She eloped with Haoyu, got on a boat sailing to America and got away from here. No one had seen or heard from her in 10 years." Li Jing finished the story.
Gwen felt heartbroken for Kai-Ming, now knowing why she joined the FBI and helped her.
"But she and Haoyu made it and settled in America. They married, have 3 daughters and life is good." Ms. Chalice said.
"What? I have nieces?" Li Jing asked shockingly.
"Yes. And she did get her dream in law enforcement. She's now supervisor and training 3 apprentices." Gwen said.
Li Jing absorbs what Ms. Chalice and Gwen revealed.
"Gwen, I witnessed your magic. I know about that. So please, will you take me to my sister?" Li Jing pleaded.
Gwen sighed feeling unsure if Kai-Ming would approve of this.
"I don't Li Jing. I don't wanna bring family drama to her. Plus, I don't think she wants her parents to be involved after what they did to her." Gwen said, expressing doubts.
"Don't worry about that. I left home to make it on my own and cut ties with them. I just want to be with my sister again. Meet my nieces and brother-in-law." Li Jing assured her.
"That's good you cut ties with them." Cuphead said.
"Honey, what do you think?" Clarence asked.
"I… I don't know about this. I don't want her mad at me." Gwen said.
"Look, we'll just tell her she arrived in America and is looking for her." Mugman said.
"Yeah, make it look like she found her on her own. She'll never know." Ms. Chalice said.
"No, we can't lie to her. She's too smart for that." Gwen declined.
"I will vouch for you." Li Jing said.
"Fine, you win. But we'll do it when Kai-Ming goes home to her family later." Gwen finally agreed.
"Deal." Li Jing agreed.
Both women shook hands.
Suddenly out of nowhere, a group of gangsters armed with guns surrounded the group.
"Hands up!" One thief yelled.
The group raised their hands except Gwen.
Their leader pointed his gun at Gwen.
"You! Raise your hands!" The leader demanded.
"I won't be doing that." Gwen said not intimidated.
The leader cocked his gun and prepared to shoot her.
"You dare defy the Bàozǐ?! You think you can stop us?!" The leader angrily asked.
"He means 'leopards.' They are notorious street gang." Li Jing translated.
Gwen looked and noticed something.
"No… he is." Gwen said.
The gang looked and noticed too late Long Wang striking their leader with his punch. The gangsters tried to aim their guns, but Long Wang was too quick for them and took each gang member down with his kung fu.
After taking out all gangsters, Long Wang caught his breath.
"Whoo! Yay! Whoo!" The 3 cups cheered and applauded.
Gwen approached Long Wang in fascination.
"You saved us. Why?" Gwen asked.
"I thought a lot about what you said about using my gifts for good. So, I thought I'd give it a try when I saw the Bàozǐ surrounding you. And I never got to thank you for sparing me from a humiliating defeat." Long Wang explained.
Gwen smiled at Long Wang.
"I proud of you Long Wang. I think you're on your way." Gwen complimented.
"Thank you, Gwen. For your compassion. No one has ever shown me that." Long Wang thanked.
"Hey, I know what it's like. I was at rock bottom all my life too. But Gwen helped show me the way and I couldn't be happier." Clarence said.
"If there's anything I could do for you, let me know." Long Wang asked.
Gwen thinks for a moment.
"Actually, there is one thing." Gwen said, getting an idea.
"You name it, and I'll do it." Long Wang promised.
"I need you to come with us to help reunite 2 long separated sisters. I could use someone to protect us in case anyone tries to attack us again." Gwen explained.
"I will do it." Long Wang agreed.
"Great." Gwen said, feeling proud.
Later that evening in Boston, Kai-Ming returns home to Haoyu and Li-Mei, Caihong and Bai. She kissed her husband and greeted her daughters as Haoyu prepares dinner as Lavender's Blue hugged the family. Just then, they hear a knocking at the door.
"Huh, I wonder who that could be at this time?" Kai-Ming asked.
Kai-Ming answers the door and to her shock, her long lost sister appeared before her.
"Kai-Ming?" Li Jing asked.
"Li Jing?" Kai-Ming asked.
Li Jing had tears welling up in her eyes and embraced her estranged sister.
"I thought I'd never see you again." Li Jing said.
"And I thought no one from home would find me here. Unless…" Kai-Ming said until she figured it out.
Kai-Ming looked and noticed Gwen and her friends outside, feeling guilty.
"What are you all doing here? You should be back home." Kai-Ming asked.
"I'm so sorry Kai-Ming. We were exploring China then we traveled to Hong Kong, and we ran into her who told us she was your sister." Gwen nervously explained.
"Gwen, you know you weren't supposed to leave." Kai-Ming reminded her.
"I know, but it gets boring. Besides Li Jing insisted I reunite her with you." Gwen said in her defense.
"She is right. I had to see you again sis. It's not her fault, it's mine." Li Jing said.
"What about our parents? Do they know you're here?" Kai-Ming asked.
"No, I left them and cut ties with them. They lost us forever." Li Jing revealed.
Kai-Ming was shocked at that revelation.
"Please sister. I want to be back into your life. Meet your family and maybe start over here?" Li Jing pleaded.
Kai-Ming thinks for a moment.
"Who's at the door mama?" Li-Mei called.
Li Jing looked and noticed Kai-Ming's daughters on Lavender's Blue floating in the hallway looking at her.
"Who's that mama?" Caihong asked.
"Sis, are these your…?" Li Jing was about to asked.
'Yes. They're my daughters. Li-Mei, Caihong and Bai. And the flying carpet is Lavender's Blue." Kai-Ming answered.
Li Jing approached the 3 girls.
"Nǐ hǎo. My name's Li Jing. I'm your aunt." Li Jing greeted warmly.
"Aunt?" Bai asked.
"Yes. Your mommy and I are sisters." Li Jing explained.
"She's right girls. This your Aunt Li Jing Zhang." Kai-Ming introduced.
The girls smiled and hugged Li Jing. Having tears in her eyes, she hugged her nieces. Haoyu enters the hallway.
"Li Jing. I never thought I'd see you again." Haoyu said in shock.
"Hello Haoyu. So, you really married Kai-Ming and came here." Li Jing said.
"Yes. It was the only way we could be together forever since your parents always hated me for my background, not for who I am. And we have daughters to raise too." Haoyu said.
"I'll tell you what. You can stay in the guest room. In return, you can watch our daughters while we're at work and help keep the house." Kai-Ming suggested.
"How can I ever thank you sis?" Li Jing asked, feeling grateful.
"Look after our daughters while Haoyu and I are at work and help keep the house tidy and clean." Kai-Ming answered.
"You got a deal." Li Jing agreed.
Both sisters hugged each other, and Haoyu joined in. Li Jing knelt to her nieces and gave them hugs.
"Aww!" All 3 cups exclaimed.
"Well, we should go home." Clarence said.
"Okay, let me just get Long Wang home first." Gwen agreed.
Suddenly, Gwen felt something poke against her back.
"What the…?" Gwen was about to ask until a familiar voice interrupted.
"Don't you dare make a peep! Just come quietly!" The voice quietly warned.
Out of nowhere, Long Wang attacked Gwen's attacker and kicked him away from her and snatched the gun. This gets Kai-Ming's attention and runs outside with her gun and disarmed it.
"Stay inside and lock the doors!" Kai-Ming instructed.
Haoyu quickly locked the door and the other doors and windows as Lavender's Blue flew outside. Kai-Ming pointed her gun at the assailant.
"Hands up now!" Kai-Ming yelled as the group hid behind Long Wang.
"He had a gun! I snatched it from him and broke it!" Long Wang explained.
"Show yourself!" Kai-Ming yelled.
Suddenly, from the shadows, her former supervisor Norman Wilcox emerged from the shadows with an icy smile. Kai-Ming's eyes widened in horror.
"Wilcox! No! You and the Fallen Angels were imprisoned in Hell!" Kai-Ming exclaimed.
"Yes, because of you! You sold us to Satan to spare you!" Norman angrily said.
"I had no choice! You tricked me and Gwen to steal the Devil's pitchfork and were gonna use it to destroy our world!" Kai-Ming argued back.
"We could've made it better than this one! But it seems Satan has other plans involving your young magical friend here." Norman said.
"I am never marrying him! Whatever he's planning, he can forget it!" Gwen snapped.
"About that, he decided to give me another chance. He promised I'd go free if I brought you to me since you were out and about." Norman revealed.
"Why am I not surprised?" Clarence asked sarcastically.
"Okay, let's get this over with and come with me! Then I'll be back to have my revenge on Kai-Ming starting with her family!" Norman yelled.
Norman lunges at Gwen when Long Wang intervened and punched him. To his shock, Norman shot fire from his fists at Long Wang, forcing him to back flip away.
"He's too powerful!" Long Wang exclaimed.
"Oh, did I forget to mention he granted me powers to fight?" Norman tauntingly asked.
"Why am I not surprised?" Gwen also sarcastically asked.
Norman attempts to blast Long Wang until Gwen shot an icy blast at him, freezing him against a tree.
"Gwen, I can't fight him! What do I do?" Long Wang asked.
"Because you've proven your worth to me, I'm granting your wish." Gwen answered as she held up her ink pen.
"What wish?" Long Wang asked.
"You said you wanna be a dragon, didn't you?" Gwen asked.
"I didn't really mean it! It was just a childish wish!" Long Wang answered truthfully.
"I know. I'm just gonna give you a free trial." Gwen answered.
Gwen cast magic on Long Wang, and he started to transform into a large red Chinese dragon. Long Wang looked at his hands with claws and looked at himself in shock.
"What did you do to me?!" Long Wang yelled.
"SHH!" Gwen shushed.
Long Wang shut his mouth.
"You're a Chinese dragon now. That comes with pretty cool abilities. You can now fly, shapeshift back to a human, control weather, breathe fire and camouflage. It's up to you to unlock those abilities!" Gwen explained.
Long Wang's mouth hung open.
"Well, I guess I can try." Long Wang said.
Just then, Norman blasted out of the ice and was now glowing red with fury. Norman lunges toward Gwen again until Long Wang swung his new tail and whipped him away.
"Nice one!" Cuphead cheered.
"Thanks!" Long Wang thanked until he realized fire coming from his mouth.
"Woah! That's new! Wait, let's use it!" Long Wang said, getting an idea.
Norman got up and attempted to attack Long Wang when he suddenly breathed fire at Norman, blasting him away from Kai-Ming's house.
"Wow, you made your new student powerful." Kai-Ming said impressed.
"Actually, dragons are powerful in legend. I just gave him the full package. Besides I didn't randomly choose him, he proved his worth to me earlier." Gwen explained.
Long Wang jumped up, only to realize he was flying while his body cackled electricity.
"Wait! That's it!" Long Wang exclaimed.
Long Wang flew towards Norman and stomped lightning at Norman, shocking him. Long Wang thought of the clouds above him and unleased the rain.
"The legend was true! Dragons can control weather!" Long Wang said to himself.
Norman shot a fire blast at Long Wang, injuring him. Long Wang growled at Norman.
"Give it up dragon freak. You can't defeat this demon!" Norman taunted.
Long Wang got up on his feet.
"You are not a demon. You're just another human. An evil one!" Long Wang insulted using Gwen's words.
Norman grew angry and lunged toward him. Long Wang shapeshifted back into a human and used his kung fu to fight Norman and jump kicked him down to the ground. Norman got up and attempted to shoot fire from his hands Long Wang delivered a final blow at Norman's head, knocking him out cold. Long Wang caught his breath as the group and Kai-Ming ran up to him.
"You did it! You defeated him! Dragon and human style!" Mugman cheered.
Long Wang smiled, feeling proud of himself.
"Yeah. I guess I did." Long Wang said.
Gwen walked up to him.
"I'm so proud of you Long Wang. Your father would've been too." Gwen revealed.
"Wait, you know about…?" Long Wang was about to ask.
Gwen held up a Chinese news article about his father, a kung fu master who unfortunately died young long ago.
"Oh, right. I was a boy when suddenly died. He trained me in my childhood." Long Wang said, feeling sad.
Gwen placed her hand on Long Wang's shoulder.
"Long Wang, he really loved you." Gwen assured him.
Long Wang looked at Gwen.
"I don't think he would've wanted you to use your gifts for just fame and fortune. I think would've wanted you to use them for honor and justice." Gwen advised.
Long Wang smiled at her.
"Oh, if you don't want the dragon magic, I can remove it from you if you want." Gwen offered.
Long Wang thought for a moment.
"Actually, I'd like to keep it. I think it could be useful helping people back home. And aide you in the war against the Devil." Long Wang answered.
Gwen smiled.
"You sure you're up for it?" Gwen asked.
"Yes. It's time for me to stop using my gifts for fame and fortune and start using them for good." Long Wang said, changing his ways.
"Are you gonna say it or are you gonna do it?" Mugman asked.
"Both." Long Wang answered.
"I have rules about bestowing gifts on not just anyone, but to those who's worth lies deep within. If you abuse them or use them for evil selfish purposes, they will be stripped away." Gwen said.
"I promise Gwen." Long Wang promised.
"What about Wilcox?" Kai-Ming asked.
"Oh right. I forgot about him." Gwen said.
Gwen, Kai-Ming and Long Wang circled around an unconscious Norman Wilcox. Gwen raised her hands and magically stripped the powers the Devil bestowed on him.
"Wow. You are amazing." Long Wang complimented.
"She really is." Clarence added.
Kai-Ming has Gwen chain him up and she prepared to take Wilcox into custody. She calls her 3 apprentices to fly to their location on their magic carpets to arrest Wilcox and escort him to federal prison.
"This is the man who betrayed you?" Bethany asked.
"Yes, Bethany. I need you 3 to take him to federal prison and book him." Kai-Ming instructed.
"You can count on us boss." Beatrix agreed.
Barrett loads Norman on Crimson Blaze.
"We'll make sure he never gets out." Barrett said.
The triplets fly away to take Norman to federal prison.
Li Jing with her nieces and Haoyu joined the group outside their house.
"It's alright. The threat is neutralized." Kai-Ming assured them.
"I had a feeling." Haoyu said.
"Alright, we'll head home." Gwen said.
"And please stay put this time. The Devil's gonna keep sending pawns after you. Remember?" Kai-Ming advised.
"We will." All 3 cups said, crossing their fingers behind their backs.
"Don't cross your fingers." Kai-Ming said, unamused.
"Sorry." The 3 cups apologized.
Gwen teleports Long Wang back to China and then heads with her friends back home in Heaven.
Norman Wilcox was booked, found guilty of his act of treason and for being in cahoots with the Fallen Angels and was put in prison awaiting his death sentence. Gwen and her friends try staying put in Heaven to continue hiding from the Devil.
Long Wang used his new gifts to protect innocent people in discreet, restoring honor and justice. Li Jing becomes the nanny to her nieces while Kai-Ming and Haoyu were at their jobs and forms bonds with them.
The Devil was still in the process of planning his invasion on Heaven, only to hear that his latest pawn Norman Wilcox failed him and had him brought back to Hell to carry out his eternal servitude with the Fallen Angels.
