Masks of the Shadowkhan

In Uncle's Rare Finds Jackie was trying to teach Jade about non magical subjects such as Geography, namely the American Capitals but unfortunately it was not going so well since Jade was focusing more on her magical education which included Magical Summer Homework.

"Jade I need to remind you that just because you have magic doesn't mean that you can afford to slack off in Non-Magical education," Jackie said, "Sometimes I wish that regular schooling was at Hogwarts or the other magical schools. Now let's try this again."

"The capital of Georgia is Atlanta," Jade said bored, "Why are we bushing up on state capitals again?"

"This is important for you to know," Jackie replied, "So is Non-Magical history not just Magical History."

"When can I get back to studying the fun stuff alongside Tohru," Jade groaned as she and Jackie saw Tohru and Uncle studying Chi Spells.

"Uncle is waiting," Uncle snapped holding up a card with a symbol.

"OH, I know this one. That is the symbol for a conjuring spell. One which requires garlic and ginger." Tohru explained.

Uncle smiled, "Correct," he looked annoyed and snapped at Tohru, "If you are making Chicken Chow Mein!"

Tohru looked startled as Jade had to comment.

"Now that's what I should be studying right now Uncle Jackie," said Jade.

"What you should focus on is geography," Jackie retorted before Uncle dope slapped him via magic.

"Jade needs to refine her magic," Uncle said to Jackie before speaking to Tohru, "Do you plan on becoming a full chi wizard, Tohru? Then you must prepare for the day when a new evil enters our realm."

"If this is the best that Hogwarts new History Professor has to offer then I'm glad I'm an Ilvermorny student," said a loud feminine voice, "No wonder nothing got done in Magical Britain and Hogwarts before grandma won her challenge."

"I can say the same thing about American Politics, Governors, Senators, Congressmen and so can some of our magical ancestors," said another female voice, "No wonder nothing ever gets done and it's no wonder the Arkeyan Weapon Masters have no faith or confidence in humanity and it's no wonder Arcanon's likely gonna take over all of America at this rate."

Jackie, Uncle, Tohru, and Jade turned to see seven children inside of the Antique Shop, four girls and three boys and they all shared some sort of resemblance to Camille and her siblings and cousins.

"Hello and welcome to Uncle's Rare Finds," Uncle spoke, "How can we help you?"

"Save the sales pitch we bring bad news that could possibly spell the end of creation as we know it," said the Eldest child, "Grandma Yzma's algorithm is active."

"I was hoping and praying that this day would never come," Tohru said remembering what the Shiba Clan had warned him about considering his family had been retainers to the Shiba Clan for over 300 years, "What happened."

"Grandma Yzma and Lady Coraline De Grandpre's algorithm has detected the symbol of the Shadowkhan and that said symbol is now awake," The Second Eldest Child said, "But we bring more terrible news, the Igasaki Clan and the Arkeyan Weapon Masters refuse to work together period. The Igasaki Clan have had it with the Weapon Masters and are putting their full faith and confidence in their mysterious benefactor and it gets much worse."

"How could this get much worse?" Jackie asked thinking this was already bad enough.

"All the Asian magical and non-magical governments and Russia have had it with the Arkeyans destroying their lands and they've had it with MEGTAF and the GFMC for not doing anything about those assholes who sit in their ivory towers and make live hell for everyone else in the trenches," the Third Eldest child spoke, "The Arkeyans in turn had heard enough and have had enough and are ready to declare war upon the entire planet to destroy all of Asia and enslave the entire universe."

"And Russia and all of the Asian magical and non-magical governments have made it very clear that any extradition treaties the United States had with them are now null and void for good and that MEGTAF and the GFMC and their allies are no longer welcome in their countries anymore and that goes double for the British muggle government and Poland is pissed off as well only because Arcanon's promised them that they can keep things to the way they were before the GFMC was created. The Polish despise the monster girls and only allow Angels and their subspecies in but back to the main problem," the Third Eldest Child continued to explain, "Should the above mentioned show up they will all die and that'll be a declaration of war."

The Chan family and Tohru were shocked at how things had gone from bad to worse so quickly.

"Please tell me the Arkeyans haven't taken this as the final insult," said Jackie paling.

"Unfortunately, the Arkeyans are close to taking this as the final insult and the Arkeyan Empire's patience has officially run out. They're ready to declare war upon Poland, Russia, and all of Asia," the Eldest Child said, "Arcanon's brutally thrashed the Arkeyan Governors, the High Chancellor and the Generals of the Imperial Guard and beat them to a pulp in the Governors gauntlet and the Imperial Gauntlet because the Chancellor refused to honor Arcanon's request to bar the Kaiju Kingdom from interfering with him, his operations and those of his allies and any request asked for upon clearing the imperial gauntlet must be honored no matter what which means the Kaiju Kingdom are barred from interfering with Arcanon, his operations, and those of his allies until the beginning of Harry Potter's 7th year which means Harry, Carol, and Verity are on their own until then."

"I hope the Emperor's able to support the Assassin Brotherhood at this rate," Jade said worried about the fact that all of Asia was at risk yet again.

"The Emperor was beaten so badly he's in the hospital and until he's recovered Crown Prince Drake of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters is in charge," the Eldest Child said, "By the way I've forgotten to introduce myself and my siblings. I'm Monica Milano the eldest child and 1st daughter, this is Tuscany the second oldest, Wesley the oldest son and third oldest child, Arthur the 2nd son and the middle child, Frieda the 3rd daughter and fifth child, Santos the 3rd son and sixth child and Sunny the youngest child and 4th daughter. Together we're the American Milano siblings the children of Lorenzo Milano and his American wife. Dad owns a restaurant in Las Vegas considering we live there."

"You're from Las Vegas?" Jade asked, "That's so cool. We've been to Vegas before and we could've met up and we could've talked about magic and stuff."

"That's gonna have to wait. We have a crisis to resolve first," Tuscany spoke reminding the team of the situation at hand, "That said do we have a plan or not?"

"Perhaps what we need to do is speak to the ICW and attempt to build up security so we can prepare to fight back," Jackie suggested, "That sounds like a good plan."

"Unfortunately, that's gonna have to wait until the situation we're currently in is resolved," Tuscany said, "We still have to get reinforcements to defeat Arcanon considering he's completely castrated the Hogwarts PTA at this point and brutally beat the leaders to a bloody pulp and by leaders I mean Margaret Rosenblatt, her sisters, and all their in laws. He beat them all so badly and brutally they're all on life support in MEGTAF and that's not the worst of it."

"How could this get any worse?" Tohru gulped terrified beyond rational thought, "Why is nobody doing anything about it?"

"The Crown Prince of the Arkeyan Empire is in charge and he's already striped the Hogwarts PTA of their power to pull the kids out of school because Arcanon threatened to beat him senseless for not honoring any request he made for defeating the Arkeyan Empire Gauntlet challenges," said Wesley gravely, "Arcanon is so powerful that everyone in his organization and that of his allies organizations would rather die than talk because they know Arcanon somehow lets all the prisoners know who squealed on whom and kills not only the squealers but also all the relatives of said squealers and does so in a gruesome to send a message that talking is gonna die. It's gotten so bad that the government is even considering removing America's Most Wanted from the television airways for good at this rate."

"Which is all the more reason why we need America's Most Wanted and why we need to put Arcanon's crew on the show and why we need to keep fighting," said Arthur, "And why we need to show the Arkeyan Weapon Masters that Earth is worth fighting for. That's why some friends of ours are on a quest to find anyone left that can give us the strength or inspire the people of earth to fight back but it's a struggle just to survive."

"Arcanon's intergalactic criminal empire has taken complete control over all of the hyperspace routes and all of the interdimensional routes," Freida sighed, "Which means that should anybody dare to try to go to anyone brave enough to oppose Lord Arcanon and his entire alliance then Arcanon and his entire alliance will know about it and shoot them down."

"Lord Arcanon continues to wreak havoc," Uncle said, "The balance between good and evil has tipped in favor of the forces of evil and we need to restore the balance. The fate of creation rests upon this and there is still the matter of the Dursleys negative energy."

"Might I suggest something," Sunny said, "Perhaps we should head over to Japan or China. One of those places might have a clue about our newest enemy and as for the Dursleys why not let one of the Greek Gods or the Assassin Brotherhood cover that."

"The thing is we don't even know where in China to even look for magical relics if Japanese relics can even be found in China," Tuscany spoke, "And as for the Dursleys since Arcanon's moving them from place to place he's bound to use their negative energy to eliminate anyone they hate equally."

"Tuscany is right about the Dursleys Sunny. That said Japanese influence has been in China and is still felt even to this day ever since the 20th century due to the ambitions Japan had," Monica said having brushed up upon world history, "Monster girls from Zipangu and the mist continent arrived in the 1800s and exchanged news and information thanks to the Arkeyan Weapon masters and a network grew from across this. By the second world war the group led a resistance and fought the Axis powers and later the Communists that took control in China and Eastern Europe. If there is information on our enemies then it's there in the hands of the Chinese branch of the Assassin Brotherhood."

In Arcanon's battleship Daolon Wong was in the middle of awakening an ancient enemy from Japan's Past with Fumi's help even as the battleship was sailing above China over the ruins of Shendu's former palace.

"At long last the Arkeyan Empire's current leadership are finally about to force the Kaiju to bow down to their superiors as Delores would say," Fumi said, "But back to the task at hand Daolon. Are you sure that now is the time to awaken Tarakudo from his slumber this early?"

"Now is the perfect time and with the Arkeyan Weapon Masters unable to use the drops or any other time-based powers in court against the criminal underworld and Arcanon's clients, allies or their organizations ever again," Daolon Wong said as Arcanon arrived.

"The only real issue is the Dragon Booster, the Crescent Booster, The Grand White Witch, Miko Igasaki, and the Brotherhood of Assassins considering I've got the relics to summon the Arkeyan Empire's greatest ally," Arcanon said, "Either way let's get this show on the road."

"Either way we have to have multiple plans just in case," Arcanon said, "But we can still kick sand in the face of the justice system and keep giving said justice system black eyes and bloody noses."

"That would be a sight to see but for now let's awaken Tarakudo," Fumi spoke, "The sooner he's awake the sooner the Benefactor can continue turning the Igasaki Clan against the Arkeyan Weapon Masters and possibly the rest of our enemies."

Daolon and Fumi began the tasks of awaking the King of the Shadowkhan himself.

"Awaken Tarakudo," Daolon Wong chanted as the symbol of the Shadowkhan appeared before Tarakudo appeared in the pot himself, "Rise our army of darkness."

"Your army?" A voice asked. Daolon, Fumi, and Arcanon looked in the cauldron to see the Demon himself speaking, "I am the one and only king of the Shadowkhan."

"Welcome back Tarakudo," Lord Arcanon said, "It's been quite some time since the Arkeyan Empire and the ancestor of the wife of Retsudo Shiba trapped you in a hibernation state."

"Indeed, it has been, but now I'm back and ready to reclaim my ninja magic," Tarakudo spoke, "A task which I will require some assistance."

"We can help with that Tarakudo," Fumi said, "And as for a headquarters we're inside Lord Arcanon's battleship. Kai is checking on his underworld contacts in the Malfoy Clan's criminal empire for some suitable aid."

"Then let's get started," Tarakudo spoke as he appeared from the Cauldron, "First we'll need transportation."

"Way ahead of you Tarakudo," Lord Arcanon said, "Behold my flying fortress the Nemesis, the flagship of the armada of darkness. As for where we are we're currently hovering over Asia or the ruins of Shendu's Palace to be precise."

"Excellent," Tarakudo said, "What we seek is in Shendu's palace."

"And the best part is that our enemies don't even know we're here since the ship is cloaked," said Daolon Wong, "Which means that by the time our enemies arrive it'll be way too late for them to stop us."

"So which relic do we need because we have the locator compass and the seeker's map," Lord Arcanon said, "And our enemies are currently ripping each other apart thanks to one of my lieutenants tipping the Igasaki clan head at the time on who killed his predecessor."

Alarms began blaring out across the battleship prompting Arcanon to type in some commands showing a green Invisiportal opening in Tokyo above the bay itself.

"Seems our enemies are planning on rescuing the dino masters and sending the Brotherhood of Assassins after us," said Arcanon, "No matter it'll take ages to find al the dino masters in time and they have no way to free the Texas Rangers since they're trapped in the deepest pits in the deepest parts of the prison dimension. Either way their attempts could work to our advantage."

"Indeed, because while they're trying to rescue the dino masters we'll get what we need and we'll be long gone," said Fumi, "But first let's send down an army to crush them."

The villains agreed as they sent down an army of minions to crush the dino master that the heroes were trying to rescue along with a special surprise should the rescue attempt prove to be successful while the villains themselves beamed down into Shendu's palace to help themselves to some treasure.

Back in Japan the forces of light were at the Invisiportal coordinates. Harry, Carol, and Verity were already on point at the portal location with the former two having already powered up to their Booster forms.

"According to Great Uncle Jack's instructions we are to throw the gems to the portal to trigger said portal to release Masters Stego, Tricera, Ankylo, Saber, and Raptor," Verity explained, "Thing is we only brought one gem so we can only free one master and we don't know which master we'll free because we don't know which gem we have so we'll have to hope for the best. Arcanon's army is sure to be massive so we're gonna need backup and a lot of it."

"And where do we find that?" Carol asked, "Arcanon's garrison commander has rooted out the hideouts and his eyes and ears are everywhere. Based upon what we know so far Arcanon's sure to have help in the form of the Dursley clan's grudge against us for destroying their lives. Basically, we're in for a fight and we need Uncle Belloc's help right now or at the very least get him to send a Kaiju if we get in way over our heads."

"Let's just free the Dino master first then we can discuss our next move," Harry said as Verity tossed the gem to the portal triggering it before she captured the energems. From the portal one of the Dino Masters appeared and this one was wearing triceratops themed armor, "It's Master Tricera and he's falling fast. We gotta do something before he drops into the bay and ends up drowning."

Verity raced to help but they had no need to worry about Master Tricera drowning because he had the foresight to wear a paraglider before he was captured and he deployed it at once which helped him glide to the safety of a nearby island.

"Well, that was easier than we expected," said Harry, "But we better get moving."

"Harry's right the longer we're out here the more we put ourselves at risk of being overrun by Arcanon's forces once they find us," Carol said and as if on cue Shadowkhan ninjas appeared, "I knew it. Arcanon somehow knows we're rescuing the Dino masters and he's going to great lengths to prevent us from rescuing them other than them helping Myra out."

"Then we fight," Master Tricera spoke as he pulled out a sword and a drill before going into battle against the Shadowkhan with Carol, Verity, Harry, Beau, and Arrow helping out. It was touch and go for a few moments but Master Tricera with help from the Potters was able to defeat the army considering that the Dino Master had been held in the prison dimension.

"That was a bit too easy," said Master Tricera as he held his sword, "Usually triggering the taboo sends down a large army but that was only a light wave."

"Master Tricera has a point," said Verity worried, "Get ready I sense something big is coming."

True to Verity's words a monster born of negative energy appeared and this one had taken the form of a bloated overweight walrus. This one looked to be impeccably dressed and was carrying a leather whip in the form of a belt.

"That's the same monster the Dino Masters and I faced before we were captured and tossed into the Prison Dimension," said Master Tricera, "We fought them while trying to protect some Wizards and Witches and Magical Creatures. They seemed to attack for no reason other than the fact they were magical and they hated the Arkeyans the most namely the Himura family."

"Then we need to destroy this bloated walrus," Carol snapped, "Our enemies have harnessed Vernon Dursley's negative energy and made it into a monster."

"Then what do you suggest we do to destroy the monster?" Master Tricera spoke blocking a whip strike with his saber, "Everything we threw at it caused it to blow up but it came back stronger than ever to the point where it shook off everything we threw at it."

"Did you try sending in a polar bear?" Verity asked dodging the monster's leather whip and countering with a blasting curse.

"Master Ptera conjured one up and sent it to maul the monster but an even more powerful monster in the shape of a humanoid hippo arrived and began beating Master Ptera senseless," Master Tricera spoke before the whip reformed and the walrus monster beat him with it even harder.

"And we don't have the Star Saber or the needed training to conjure a polar bear yet," Carol groaned as she hit the monster with a blasting curse before Beau and Arrow tossed the monster into the bay, "Let's get back to the Himura residence. We can use the mood slime to destroy the walrus monster next time it shows up. Perhaps we can figure out what our enemies are up to next."

"And rescue the rest of the Dino Masters," said Master Tricera, "When I was captured most of my power was drained when I was held prisoner in the Prison Dimension. I believe that our enemies may be trying to use our own powers against us somehow."

"Then we better warn Uncle Jack and the rest of MEGTAF," Harry suggested as the team headed back to the Himura residence unaware that the walrus monster reformed even stronger than ever after being tossed into the bay and made it's way back to dry land and to Arcanon's Airship having somehow heard every word that it's creators enemies had said.

At the same time Lord Arcanon, Tarakudo and Voldemort were holding court and exchanging information about their enemies and the powers of the Oni Masks.

"So, from what you're telling me is that by wearing the mask we have in question we'll be able to summon the Shadowkhan?" Voldemort asked the Lord of all Oni.

"That is correct," said Tarakudo taking great care not to trigger the Taboo by accident before looking concerned, "But based upon the files that Lord Arcanon has presented on our enemies the Arkeyan Weapon Masters, the Kaiju and this new group called MEGTAF could pose a problem."

"Let's not forget about the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Dino Masters," said Lord Arcanon, "And now I just got word from my garrison commander that two Dino masters are now free which means that our problems have already started. Fortunately, I sent word to all my lieutenants warning them about Invisiportals to the prison dimension and I placed the Raptor Master in a special prison in the Prison Dimension."

"How much of a threat could the Dino Masters be?" Tarakudo asked wanting to know about the powers of the Dino Masters, "I can understand why you trapped them in the Prison Dimension but why go to extra lengths for the Raptor Master?"

"Dino Master Raptor has the power to open gateways between dimensions but not cross the timelines," Lord Arcanon explained, "If he escapes then it's only a matter of time before he frees the enemies we tossed into the Prison Dimension and our enemies start building positive energy from courage and love in particular. The good news is that I took the time to free four of my own minions from prisons tailor made to hold them and then destroyed said prisons and all the guards. Either way we better get to work on the oni mask hunt."

"Leave that to me," Tarakudo said as he used his mental powers to call in some help and as if on cue Chow of the Dark Hand appeared before them having been dragged in by said mental powers.

"What happened? What's going on?" Chow yelled before he realized who he was standing before, "Lord Arcanon please forgive my rudeness. I had no idea you summoned me here."

"Indeed, I did but right now we need you to do a job for us," Lord Arcanon said, "We need you to show to our guest the power of this mask. I've already sent payment to your boss in the Dark Hand."

"What else do you need me to do with the mask?" Chow asked suspiciously knowing that since Arcanon had helped the Dark Hand out by temporarily taking over as leader during the Shendu Affair which prevented them from falling out of business.

"We also need you to crush the Chans and Tohru since Tohru is one of the Shiba Clan's retainers sent to protect the Chans by Lord Shiba," Arcanon replied.

"Consider it done," Chow said taking the mask and putting it upon his face, "Tell me where to find Chan so I can crush him unless there's something you're not telling me."

"Actually plans are already in motion to bring Chan to Shendu's palace," Tarakudo said as Chow was beamed into the palace courtyard before the lord of all oni spoke to Arcanon and Voldemort next, "It's done all we have to do is let Chow defeat the Chans and our enemies but considering the files you've shown me on the enemies in question I take it that you're not impressed with him."

"The thing is the Rosenblatt pest is dead from exposure to the Omega Dimension," Voldemort spoke, "But are you sure letting a muggle handle this is a good idea? I think a pureblood or magic only raised half-blood should wear the mask of one of your Generals."

"Arcanon and I had a word about that and he said that we need to run a test first," Tarakudo spoke, "He also had a feeling you'd say something like that and since we have no idea how the mask will affect their magic it's better we let a non-magical test the powers first. Either way let's talk about our enemies the Light Faction for a minute."

"The Light Faction is getting dimmer and dimmer thanks to the infighting between the Arkeyans and the Igasaki Clan's grudge against each other," Arcanon replied, "And that was due to setting up certain events into motion that led to this moment and that caused the Igasaki clan pain at the hands of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters all while I made sure that those without Arkeyan DNA but were married to or had relatives that were Arkeyans found out especially after the Arkeyans lost a challenge to the Igasaki Clan."

"And all the while nobody knew you were behind the eight years of darkness that the British isles suffered during the Global Wizarding War caused by Myra's iron rule over Sodor and the elimination of the previous Keyblade master of the Igasaki Clan," said Lord Voldemort as he could see why Lord Arcanon was the most feared Warlord in the entire universe despite the fact that he relied on technology, "Arcanon that is sneaky, underhanded and devious and the only ones who know anything are the last ones who will talk or the last ones anyone would trust for that counts as opposing us and that in turn will trigger the taboo curse."

"Yep and the benefactor brings me some good news, bad news and terrible news," said Lord Arcanon, "Let's start with some good news the Arkeyan Governors as you know are currently still indisposed thanks to me so we don't have to worry about them interfering since they're the only ones who can call upon their greatest ally or change the empire bylaws."

"And the bad news?" Voldemort asked wanting to get to the point.

"The bad news is that our enemies are holding a summit in an attempt to thwart our efforts and the entire light faction is talking about the fact that the Chans have arrived in Shendu's Palace," Arcanon said, "More bad news the Igasaki Clan has been brutally attacked yet again for what could be the last time by the Arkeyan Weapon Masters. The Good news is that the benefactor of the clan who happens to be one of my minions was able to get the great uncle who happens to be head of the clan to safety before the Arkeyans could finish the job which means that with any luck the summit will be a blood bath allowing us to rule the universe unchallenged."

"Provided your benefactor has a plan to remove the Kaiju from the board like he did in all the other timelines that Tana the Time Goddess is only able to see thanks to your benefactor blocking her powers," Tarakudo said, "That said the only other real trouble is going to be from the Shiba clan based upon what you presented to us via the Geno Scroll."

"Tarakudo's right my contacts in Japan say that the Shiba Clan are not the type to roll over and surrender," Voldemort said, "They'll fight for the forces of light and they claim not to fear anything or anyone. Either way the Shiba Clan and their fleet will need to learn to bow down to the might of the Death Eaters or die for resisting us."

"I'll send Gorrath to take the job," Arcanon Spoke, "And I'll have him crush the Dino Masters."

The Forces of Light were holding a summit with all the factions in the alliance to discuss the constant fighting between the Igasaki Ninja Clan and the Arkeyan Weapon Masters basically working against each other. The leadership of the faction which included the full GFMC Council, MEGTAF, Section 13, the Dragon Priesthood, the Assassin Brotherhood Leadership, the ICW as old faces and some new members were among them.

"Okay let's get to business," said General Jack O'Neil of MEGTAF before noticing that somebody was missing, "Where are the Governors and High Chancellor of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters?"

"Typical of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters to only show up when they think it's best," the current head of the Igasaki Clan who happened to be Miko's Great Uncle, "No wonder dad stepped in to crush them when he was the Keyblade Master of the Igasaki Clan. Frankly it serves them right."

As if on cue a blast of elemental energy launched at him prompting Dumbledore to block the attack and deflect it. When the dust settled the team saw that High Chancellor Odon was present but the Eight Governors of the Arkeyan Weapon Masters were not present. However, eight young Arkeyans in their early 20s were present and all of whom were wearing formal outfits for this occasion. They were however holding the staffs of the eight governors all of which were in sword mode having been the ones to try to blast the current head of the Igasaki Clan for that insult.

"I suggest you watch your mouth you sack of shit or we'll rip you into pieces!" snapped the red head of the group.

"Flannery enough," High Chancellor Odon said to the red head before speaking to the council, "Please excuse Flannery. She shares her cousin Shasta's temper."

"I'm not surprised but what happened to the Arkeyan Governors?" Captain Black asked concerned.

"They've been beaten within an inch of their lives and are currently on bedrest at the moment," High Chancellor Odon spoke, "Something about having incurred Arcanon's wrath yet again."

"Well, it serves them right," Sneered the Igasaki Clan leader, "Those assholes had it coming."

"How dare you!" The Junior Arkeyan Governors roared as they blasted the Igasaki Clan Leader on the spot or tried to before Dumbledore blocked the attack yet again with Protego Shield.

"Hold down the firepower and the blades for five minutes," Albus Dumbledore spoke, "Is shooting those who insult you your answer for everything?"

"It's solved 95 percent of our problems," Flannery retorted as Kenny took the floor.

"Duncan, my brother in all but blood, would be the first to say that you don't have to like it, or even work directly together," Kenny said, "but cease your hostilities and at least cooperate with US until this greater threat is over! Then, once the greater good and the balance of the world is restored, you can destroy each other for all we care."

"That sounds fair enough to me," Miko nodded, and turned to her great-uncle, "If the Forces of Darkness win, we ALL lose, even the clan will be lost. Can't we at least help our allies save the world first? It's not like they're asking us to cooperate with our enemies. Vengeance has waited this long. Can't it wait a bit longer?"

"OUR HONOR DEMANDS...!"

"ENOUGH!" roared Belloc, causing the very ground to tremble. "THIS WAR WITH THE DARK FORCES HAS COST TOO MUCH ALREADY! AND THE PETTY IN-FIGHTING BETWEEN YOUR TWO FACTIONS HAS DONE NOTHING BUT HINDER OUR EFFORTS! THE DARK ONES KNOW THIS AND HAVE FUELED THE FLAMES, BUT YOU ARE BOTH TOO BLINDED BY RAGE AND PRIDE TO SEE IT! YOU BOTH CONFUSE HONOR WITH PRIDE!"

"King Belloc is right," General O'Neil said. "Because of reluctance on the parts of both your factions to cooperate with us, many more innocent lives have been endangered and lost, so much more innocent blood spilled; simply because of our alliances with you both.

"You ask too much!" Kaylee, Cousin of Governess Kira of the Phantom Arkeyans sneered. "How DARE you summon US here and make DEMANDS of US! WE are the superior members of this Alliance!"

"*HMPH!*Even HERE, your arrogance knows no bounds!" the Igasaki clan leader scoffed.

"OH...SHUT UP, UNCLE!" Miko shouted with exasperation. "Can't you read the room?! Neither you nor the Arkeyans are in charge of this meeting!"

"WHAT?!"

"LITTLE WHELP!"

"HOW DARE YOU!"

"WHO DO YOU THINK...?!"

"SSSSIIIIIIILLLLLLEEEEEENNNNNCCCCCE!" roared Belloc, pouring all of his rage and anguish at the loss of his son into that roar and said roar caused a tremor which registered a 9.6 out of ten on the Richter scale!

"If the Arkeyans and the Igasaki Clan do NOT agreed to put aside their petty differences until after the current crisis", Princess Druella began evenly even as the Igasaki Clan Leader and the Junior Arkeyan Governors grumbled dreadfully, "Then the rest of the Alliance is prepared to implement the Exodus plan, with the alteration of excluding them from those that would go to my Mother's realm."

"You mean...?" Clemont, Cousin of Governor Albert of the Mechanist Arkeyans asked, speaking for the first time, a touch of dread in his voice.

"That's right," General O'Neil smirked. "We'd leave you both here to deal with those pricks yourselves, taking ALL the innocent population with us."

"Y-Y-YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" the Igasaki leader squawked. "The 'Exodus Plan' was just a bluff Prince Duncan used on the Malfoys!"

"I assure you, we CAN," Dracula spoke up. "Between the accumulated magical power of our alliance and Lilith's realm, it CAN be done."

"It is NOT our first choice," Yzma said, speaking for the first time in the meeting, flanked by Dumbledore and High Dragon Priest Haddock. "Which is why we are calling this meeting in the first place; to make this final appeal to both of you: cease your hostilities for now. You don't have to work together, but at least cooperate separately with US for the greater good to defeat our common enemy!"

The Junior Arkeyan Governors conferred amongst themselves. Afterward, a few were still angry but remained silent as the High Chancellor descended to the floor and approached Kenny, Miko, his Igasaki rival, and the Alliance leaders.

"Igasaki, our Allies are right," he said evenly, meeting his enemy's glare. Then he held out his hand. "I, on behalf of my people, am willing to make a magically binding oath to their terms... if you are willing to do the same."

"For the time being I'll agree to this," The Igasaki Clan Leader growled knowing that once the benefactor found out the entire Igasaki Clan would be at risk as he held his hand out to do the same.

Once the meeting was done Miko pulled Kenny aside to discuss something.

"Kenny I need to talk to you," Miko said after having pulled Kenny aside. "It's about the Igasaki clan's benefactor. I think they're…"

"Miko whatever it is you want to say about the Benefactor of the Igasaki Clan you'll have to tell me somewhere else," Kenny spoke having covered Miko's mouth, "Here and now is not a good time. But I know some people we can talk to and a place we can talk freely."

Miko trusted Kenny as they headed off to the place to find the people in question.

Meanwhile back at the ruins of Shendu's palace the Chans having arrived via a ground bridge were already checking the area looking for the source of dark magic that was detected before it headed east.

"According to the information General O'Neil gave us this is where Arcanon's battleship was last seen," Jackie said before looking confused as he realized where they were, "But why would the ship be seen here at Shendu's Palace?"

"Shendu collected many artifacts with great magical power," Uncle said as they headed into the catacombs of the palace, "Arcanon may be looking for one of these artifacts."

"If that's the case an Arcanon gets more relics then our problems are gonna get much worse," said Jade, "In fact our troubles have only just barely begun to get much worse."

The team continued making their way down into the catacombs of Shendu's place but as they traveled they had a run in with some skeleton warriors before arriving in the main room where Tarakudo, Chow and an Ice Blue Dragon were waiting but the odd part was that Chow was already wearing a mask upon his face.

"Mr. Chan and company welcome," Tarakudo said, "The Fearsome enemy feared by the Arkeyan Weapon Masters told me you'd show up exactly as he planned it."

"Who are you and who is your ally?" Jackie asked, "And what do you mean by planned?"

"You honestly have no idea who you're dealing with," Tarakudo said.

"Enlighten us," Uncle smirked.

"Very well, Bow before Tarakudo Lord of All Oni King of all Shadowkhan," Tarakudo spoke which prompted looks of shock from Jackie, Jade and Uncle and a look of fear and horror from Tohru.

"So that would mean you are Japanese," Uncle spoke shocked not expecting this before he and the heroes were blasted away by Tarakudo's mental powers.

"Consider yourselves enlightened," Tarakudo spoke. "Anyway, Chow here shall stick around and familiarize himself with his new powers with the help of our guest while Arcanon, his team and I make further preparations."

Tarakudo then faded out on the spot.

"What does he mean by further preparations?" Jade asked.

Jackie was trying to remove the mask from Chow's face but it wasn't working before Chow pushed him off.

"Four against two now that hardly seems fair," Chow spoke with a deeper voice.

"Indeed, it does not seem fair," the Ice Blue Dragon standing next to Chow, "Show them the power of General Rairakku."

Chow promptly growled and let loose a roar as vast shadows started appearing.

"Guys I'm getting the feeling this mask gives Chow the power to summon Shadowkhan," Jade spoke as Shadowkhan surrounded the Chans.

"Oh, it does," the Ice Blue Dragon spoke, "This Mask holds the Spirit of General Rairakku and it was with the help of this mask that I taught Shendu how to draw the power to control my partner's Shadowkhan army. I also summoned the Shadowkhan to aid Daolon Wong during his hunt for the Noble Animals."

Talon promptly snapped his fingers and the Shadowkhan began to attack.

Uncle and Jade fired magic from their blowfishes as they blasted Shadowkhan. Maggie and Carol used Firebending. Jackie used martial arts to fend off the Shadowkhan, while Tohru simply flung off multiple Shadowkhan before three of them kicked him before Chow.

"Boo," Chow said causing Tohru to scream out of pure fear.

"Face your fear T." Jade encouraged him.

Tohru plucked up courage and charged towards Talon only for the Crown Prince of the Crows to grab him with only one hand, "Light as a feather." he tossed Tohru into the Stone Chest.

Meanwhile Uncle was standing on top of some treasure as he was blasting Shadowkhan ninjas as the Dino Masters Tyranno, Ptera, and Tricera arrived via a ground bridge, drew their swords and began fighting the Shadowkhan.

"Need some help?" Master Tyranno asked.

"Your assistance is much needed," Jackie said as he took a breath, "How did you get here?"

"Lady Himura helped us out," Master Tyranno spoke as he and the Dino Masters drew their swords and fought the Shadowkhan.

"Aiyah. We must remove demon mask from host in order to defeat Shadowkhan," Uncle said as he continued blasting Shadowkhan, "Jackie one more thing. Fight alongside the Dino Masters and keep Shadowkhan busy till Uncle can cast proper spell."

"We are trying, Uncle!" Jackie cried, as he and the Dino Masters fended off Shadowkhan even as more went after him.

"What spell would that be sensei?" Tohru asked.

"I don't know." he regrettably answered.

"Look at this." Jade pointed to the tablet about Tarakudo and the Oni, "Perhaps this picture book can help us."

The Shadowkhan began chasing after Jackie and Masters Tyranno, Ptera and Tricera after they taunted Chow and the Blue Dragon at his side.

"What do the inscriptions say Uncle?" Jade asked.

"These are Japanese Kanji. Uncle only reads Chinese," said Uncle, "This would be so much easier if the Dino Masters brought along somebody who reads Japanese."

"Like myself perhaps?" Miko asked showing up out of the blue along with Kenny.

"Kenny glad you could make it," Jade said, "And who is this?"

"This is Miko Igasaki from the Igasaki Ninja Clan," said Kenny, "Now what do we have?"

"The typical. Jackie's fighting off Shadowkhan and keeping them busy with the help of the Dino Masters," said Jade.

"Battling the forces of Darkness? Sweet! Count me in," Miko spoke brandishing her Keyblade and Ninjato and charging towards the sounds of battle.

"Miko come back alive," Kenny spoke before turning to Uncle, "So do you have a plan."

"We found the Kanji but Uncle cannot read Japanese," Uncle said.

"Miko could but she's fighting alongside Jackie and Masters Tricera, Ptera and Tyranno," Kenny said.

"I read Japanese, but it has been many years. In fact, I am probably too shaky so forget that I mentioned…" Tohru spoke before Uncle interrupted.

"Tohru," Uncle yelled, "Read Kanji now!"

"Yes sensei," Tohru cringed and began working.

Meanwhile Miko Igasaki who had just caught up with Jackie and Dino Masters Tyranno, Ptera and Tricera were running through the catacombs when the shadows were catching up to them. using their martial arts skills the group of five were able to defeat them with ease.

Back with Tohru, Kenny, Uncle, and Jade they were brushing up on what the Kanji was telling them.

"The Kanji tell of ancient warriors who once casted a spell to Defeat general Rairakku by trapping his spirit within a mask," Tohru said, "The key ingredient was Japanese Steel, specially forged for a Samurai Sword."

"Aiyah. We will not find steel of samurai sword here because Shendu is Chinese not Japanese," Uncle reminded them.

"Will this help?" Kenny said presenting a tanto. "Lady Himura gave it to me thinking it would be of some help."

"What makes you certain this is Japanese Steel?" Uncle asked.

"Lady Himura personally gave it to me after it was forged from some of the best steel in Japan," said Kenny.

Jackie, Masters Tyranno, Ptera, and Tricera who were joined by Miko wielding her Keyblade had been chased into another room before being surrounded on all sides by Shadowkhan and they were standing back to back. Chow then came in on the Ice Blue Dragon's back as the Shadowkhan broke ranks to let them in before he broke out the fists.

"Smackdown time Chan." Chow said ripping his jacket and cracking some bones, as he jumped in to kick Jackie.

"Prepare to enjoy the ice age." The Ice Blue Dragon who was one of Arcanon's allies added, as he used his Ice breath on Miko and the Dino Masters.

"You've been working out Chow," Jackie spoke as he was tossed back into the fray as the Dino Masters and Miko were having problems of their own.

"Time to end this," said Chow, "It's over Chan."

Jackie, Miko and the Dino Masters heard chanting which Miko recognized to be Japanese prompting the group to look at Uncle, Tohru, Jade, and Kenny chanting as Kenny was holding his tanto which sent green energy that covered Jackie's hands.

"Yes it is," Jackie smirked.

"Jackie remove the mask now," Uncle spoke.

Jackie jumped into the Air and began to pull the mask off of Chow.

"Get him off of Chow now," yelled the Ice Blue Dragon.

"Shouldn't something be happening right now?" Miko asked.

"Miko's right Uncle why isn't the mask coming off?" Jade asked.

"Wait for it," Uncle said.

After more puling, Jackie finally removed the mask from Chow's face.

"Shadowkhan get Chow and myself out of here now," The Ice Blue Dragon said as the Shadowkhan got Chow and the Dragon in question out of there.

"Perhaps this would be safer in the vault at Section 13," said Jackie.

"We'll take it there at once," Master Tyranno said as Jackie handed him the mask, "General O'Neil is about to brief Captain Black on the situation involving the Dino Masters. We need to let him know what's going on and where to find the rest of the masters."

"Perhaps we can now focus on rescuing the Dino Masters," Uncle spoke, "New Evil have been defeated."

"Uh one more thing," Tohru spoke sheepishly pointing to the restored picture book.

"The new evil means our problems have only just begun," said Master Tricera, "Which means we better get to work. Does anybody here read Japanese?"

"I'm from Japan and dad had me studying the kanji all the time just in case," Miko said, "Never thought I'd actually have to use that knowledge."

"Miko sometimes the greatest knowledge is the knowledge that one wouldn't expect," Master Ptera spoke, "Now help Tohru with the reading of the Kanji."

"Of course," Miko said, "Tohru was it. Let's get cracking on this picture book."

Tohru was grateful for the help as he and Miko began translating.

"It goes on to say that Tarakudo once terrorized all of Japan with his trusted Oni generals," Tohru said, "Each Demon General had his own army which were comprised of a different tribe of Shadowkhan."

"Different how?" Jade asked.

"I prefer not to have to find out." Jackie answered.

"There's more," Miko added, "Each Demon General also had help from one of a group of dragons that also terrorized the land along side them."

"I take it that this Tarakudo ended up meeting the same fate as the Demon Sorcerers?" Master Tyranno asked having brushed up on the Demon Sorcerers from having helped out the Chinese Branch of the Assassin Brotherhood.

"He did," Tohru confirmed, "Tarakudo's reign came to an end when the Spirits of his generals were trapped within masks. Nine Generals, Nine Masks."

"And nine evil elemental dragons to deal with," Miko said, "The Dragons themselves were too powerful for the ancient warriors of the time to imprison."

"Nine different tribes of Shadowkhan?" Jade finished.

"Yep and here's more turns out the Himura Clan were the Chi Wizard Samurai Warriors that Imprisoned Tarakudo's Generals," said Miko.

"What are we waiting for? There are eight more Masks which we must find before the forces of darkness do." Uncle ordered. "And there are 8 other evil dragons that we must defeat like that dragon we just saw command the Shadowkhan."

"Let me guess the masks were scattered across the earth like the talismans, Demon Portals, and Noble Animals?" Jackie asked, while already knowing the answer.

"Yep. Uh two more things, should the nine generals ever be revived their combined power can summon enough Shadowkhan to cover the earth in eternal darkness and cause all good magic to fade to nothing." Tohru continued.

"And should that happen then all forms of good magic and spell seals modeled after it will shatter and all dark magical spell seals will be empowered further," Miko concluded.

"Aiyah! Tohru and Miko must do research." Uncle ordered.

"We must?" Miko asked.

"Tohru was told tales of Oni by mother, you and Tohru read Japanese, you and Tohru are Japanese so you both must do research!" Uncle ordered.

"Yes, Sensei." Tohru nodded.

"Masters Tyranno, Tricera and I will just deliver this mask to Captain Black at Section 13." Master Ptera said.

The Dino Masters headed to Section 13 via a Ground bridge with the Mask as another ground bridge opened for Miko, Kenny and the Chans to get to Tokyo Japan to meet up with Gwendolyn Himura and her husband Kenshin to search for a lead on the Oni Masks.
