Jackie's Party Chapter 2

    Jade's alarm clock rang loudly when it hit the 7:00 mark. She put her hand over the button to stop the noise and quickly jolted out of bed.

"We're going to Disneyland today!" Jade shouted. She quickly brushed her teeth, changed into her sweatshirt and jeans, and ran downstairs.

"Aiiyaahh!" cried Uncle when Jade nearly ran over him. "You nearly gave Uncle heart attack!"

"Sorry, Uncle", said Jade with an innocent look on her face. "It's just that we're going to Disneyland today! Hey where's Finn, Ratso, Chow, and Li? I thought they were coming?"

"The four of them called and said they are going to meet us at Section 13", came a reply from the kitchen.

Jackie was in the kitchen with Tohru making sunny-side-up eggs and toast for breakfast.

"Oh", said Jade as Tohru handed a plate full of eggs and toast to her. 

"We should eat breakfast quickly if we want to leave at 8:30. Captain Black will be not be happy if we're late since he's the one who agreed to fly us there," said Jackie. "Besides, from here to Anaheim will take at least two hours."

"Done!" shouted Jade as she showed everyone her sparkling, clean plate.

"Bwa!" exclaimed Jackie, pounding his chest to calm himself down. "Finished so soon?"

"Yep," said Jade. "You're the one who should hurry up and finish. I can't wait to fly there!"

    When Jackie and the gang arrived inside the new-and-improved Section 13, they were greeted by Finn, Ratso, Chow, and Li.

"Hey guys!" said Jade. "How did you get here before us?"

"Simple," said Finn. "We called Jackie at night last night and told him we would meet you guys here. And, well, here we are."

"Jackie didn't tell me you guys were going to be IN Section 13, he just said AT Section 13," said Jade.

"Maybe he forgot how to use the right words," chuckled Ratso.

"I'm glad my manager let me have three days off," said Li. "You don't know how stressful working at Krispy Kreme can be."

"But I'm glad you agreed to come Li," said Chow. "And plus, we wanted to surprise you Jade."

    Everyone was talking about the trip until Captain Black appeared. Captain Black was the head of Section 13. He wore a maroon turtleneck sweatshirt with a black trench coat over it. He was usually a serious-looking man who you didn't want to mess with, but he did have a silly side to him.

"Glad you could all make it in time," said Captain Black. "The jet that we will be taking to Anaheim is ready to board, so make sure you have all your necessities with you."

"Captain Black, I'm glad you agreed to fly us to Anaheim and pay for the tickets to Disneyland," said Jackie.

"It's my pleasure," smiled Captain Black. "You folks helped in the repair of Section 13, so you might treat this as a token of my thanks."

When everyone finished with their last-second luggage checks, they all boarded the jet and headed to Anaheim.

    After two rather painful hours by air, the jet finally arrived at Anaheim. It touched down at Anaheim Airport and the group then took a taxi ride to Disneyland. However, when they reached the front gates leading to "The Happiest Place on Earth", utter chaos was abound.

"What in the world is going on here?" cried Jackie. "Why's everyone running out of the park?"

"Yeah, aren't people supposed to be going in not out?" asked Jade.

"Aiiyaahh!" cried Uncle, "Evil demon lizard is here!"

Everyone turned to face the direction Uncle was facing and they all exclaimed at the same time: "DRAGO?!"

"No way!" cried Jade. "Gecko face is back!"

"How?" asked Tohru. "We banished him to the Demon Netherworld along with his father Shendu."

"Greetings!" said Drago with an evil-looking grin on his face. "Long time no see!"

    Drago was the son of Shendu, the Demon Sorcerer of Fire. They shared some similar traits, such as the ability to breathe fire and their strength and speed far exceeded that of a regular human. However, Drago appeared to be a cross between a demon dragon and a human, as he was only about 6 feet tall, had five fingers on each hand, and wore human clothes.

"How did you escape from the Netherworld?" demanded Jackie.

"That is none of your beeswax," said Drago. "All that matters is that I'm back and better than ever!"

"Uncle will see about that!" yelled Uncle, as he pointed a dried lizard and blowfish at Drago and fired a beam of chi energy at him while chanting "Jiu mo gwai gwaai faai di zau!". 

Unfortunately, nothing happened to Drago.

"Aiiyaahh!" cried Uncle. "Chi spell not working!"

"But how?!" cried Li. "The spell worked on him before!"

"Do we have a demon removal spell we could use?" asked Chow.

"I'm afraid the spell will take too long to create," said Tohru. "And besides, Drago won't give us any time to create it."

"Well, that just blows," said Finn, kicking a pebble in frustration.

"Aww, I wanted to see Mickey Mouse," groaned Ratso.

"Are you idiots done whining?" said Drago impatiently. "If so, I would like to invite you all to a little party of mine."

"Party?" asked Jackie. "What are you talking about?"

"Yes, a party," said Drago with the evil-looking smirk on his face returning. It sent shivers down everyone's spine. "This party is like none you twerps have ever experience before. It's a survival test to see who is worthy of challenging me and dad."

"Dad?!" cried Jade. "You mean Shendu is back too?!"

"That's correct shrimp," smirked Drago. "He has kidnapped all the residents of Disneyland and is holding them hostage. "If you ever want to see your precious little icons again, you must agree to my game. If not, say bye-bye Disneyland, hello Demonland!"

"That's dirty!" yelled Li. "Yeah!" Jade, Finn, Ratso, and Chow shouted at the same time.

"I guess we have no choice but to participate in 'this game'," sighed Jackie.

"Very well," said Drago. "The first challenge is in New Orleans's Square in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The game begins in an hour so better start getting ready. Oh, yes, one more thing. If any of you fools tries to leave the park, my father and I will burn you!"

And with that, Drago laughed maniacally, jumped onto the roof of a building, and dashed off.

"Bad day, bad day, bad day..." Jackie muttered under his breath.
