- Jackie Chan Adventures: "what if... the Netherworld had side effects VERSION 2" (Episode The Eighth Door)
the Chan Clan was worried, Jade had been in the Netherworld for hours now, they had gained the Pan'ku Box and were trying to figure out how it worked, Uncle was able to go into a trance and reach out into the other realm, but what he would find would shock them all.
Uncle's spirit head appeared in the realm and looked around, he was confused, the spell should have brought him right to Jade's location, that's when he saw a figure leaping towards him, he hid behind floating rocks and observed, the person flipped mid-air and fired off a chi blast at the distance, he looked closer and was shocked, it was Jade but she appeared as a young woman of 16 years old, she was missing her shoes showing slightly scared feet, her hoodie tied around her waist, her jeans now like shorts, a black piece of torn fabric wrapped around her budding chest like a sarashi and her hair was now a wild main that came to just under her shoulders.
The teen Jade leaped to the side as a bolt of lightning flew past her, revealing Tchang Zu, Bai Tza, and Dai Gui were chasing her, she performed a small chant making her hands glow before jump-spinning and blasting Bai Tza away before backflipping to avoid boulders from Dai Gui, dodging both rock and lightning she got in close and performed an over jump, grabbing the earth demon mid-flip, and tossing him into a reforming Bai Tza, she then spun around just as Tchang Zu tossed a large lightning bolt, summoning chi to her hands she spun away, avoiding the shot but at the same time grabbing it and with a swirl launched it back at the demon making him stagger.
The three demons rose up, and just as they powered up attacks Jade powered up her own chi blast, just as they attacked she launched her own resulting in a large explosion with dust and smoke filling the air, once it cleared Jade was gone and the demons shouted out in anger, quickly leaving to find the young human once more, after they left Jade flipped up from over the ledge of the platform and took a breath, that's when Uncle revealed himself, Jade was surprised but overjoyed, saying how she knew they would find her someday, Uncle was pleased to see her but asked what happened, why was she older, Jade was confused saying that's what happened after 6 years, Uncle said it has only been a few hours, that's when they realized that time must flow differently between the realms.
Jade went on to describe her time in the Netherworld, that over time staying out of sight she found an old library that was the demons, it was thrown into here when they were sealed so no one would try to use their magic, but it had more than just their magic written down it also had chi spells and teaching scrolls, she spent all her time reading and learning from them and was able to get the basics of magic down in the years she's been there, between that and fighting the demons she grown quite strong, she also said that Shendu told the other demons a few months back that they could use his door to all escape, Uncle tells her it's a lie and that only one can get through and it must be her, he asks about the Pan'ku Box and how to solve it, she gives him the answer just as Hsi Wu and Xiao Fung find her and start attacking, making Uncle have to leave and say that at this rate she will have to wait a few more years, which she says is fine and she will be waiting before she attacks.
Uncle informs the others of what's happening, and they are greatly worried about both Jade fighting the demons and her aging, if they don't free her soon it will be too late.
They soon arrive at the portals location only for Shendu to stop them from opening the portal by taking the Pan'ku Box, that's when they use the original method with a sword and forced his spirit out of Valmont, when his spirit bursts into the Netherworld his siblings are nearby but in battle, he gets blasted aside by a chi blast and looks to see who it was, it was Jade, now 22 years old, she now had ripped fabric wrapped around her feet and legs in a cross like style up to her knees, the remains of her hoodie as wrappings around her fists and forearms, and her hair, now down to her waist, held up in a ponytail, all while she had chi coating her hands and feet as she floated in the air.
She ducked and grabbed Bai Tza by the tail and used her like a whip to smack Hsi Wu and Tso Lan away before throwing her into Tchang Zu making them both get electrocuted, then grabbed Dai Gui's fists as he tried to smash her and instead smash him into Xiao Fung who tried to sneak up on her to blow her away with his wind, she then promptly kicked them into Po Kong's face making her tumble back a bit, distracting her just long enough for Jade to power up a big chi blast in her hands and launch it at the giant, blasting her back and into the rest of the demons, with this Jade quickly pushed the remaining chi energy in her body into a blast and rocked straight through the portal.
She came rolling out of the portal as it closed behind her, forever, coming to a stop on her back she looked up to the night sky, the stars and moon being the most beautiful thing she had seen in years, she was free, finally free, the realization made tears come to the corners of her eyes, tears that fell when her family came to her side, she held them close, just hugging them as she cried and they understood as they held her close as well.
They returned to Uncle's shop, Jade having some slight problems sleeping due to thinking she would wake back up in the Netherworld, but was able to get some of the best sleep she had in ages, especially food, apparently you didn't need to eat in the Netherworld, you were kept alive and healthy by its energies, Captain Black came by with a few medics to check her over and update the records, they came up with the story she went through a rare growth spurt both physically and mentally so she needed special home school teaching to get her up to her body level, this would explain for her leaving school and changes.
Time passed with everyone adjusting to the older, chi master, demon butt-kicking, calm-minded Jade, things went on as normal, bad guys showing up, magic object being found, saving the world, only with two chi masters, one being an expert demon fighter, things where a little easier to handle now.
