Chapter One

Drago sighed as he placed his hands onto his father's smooth statue; concentrating hard on the spell he had just learned..., a complicated spell. It had been easy to nab from Uncle's shop. Jackie had left Captain Black in charge again, and he had accidentally turned himself into a toad...

Ahh, Drago. It is nice to see you again, Drago heard the voice of his father call from the stone casing.Don't get him wrong...Drago loved his father. Even for a Dragon Demon, he had a heart somewhere. But that wasn't the reason he was doing this. His father, Shendu, was perhaps one of the greatest and most well-known Demons of all time. Drago had always looked up to him; picking up a knack for the dark arts. By the time the young dragon was fifteen years of age (young even for a dragon demon,) he was possibly the most dangerous being in the spirit realm, second only to Shendu. His father was not well liked in the spirit world; luckily, he had the power to transport back and forth through the mortal and spirit realms. He had left a newly born Drago at home with his mother, and strayed into the mortal realm for a few years. But alas, his nemesis Jackie Chan- a mere mortal- defeated him, putting him into a stone statue. When Drago heard the news, he was devastated. He vowed to get Chan back at all costs. That was partially why he was going to great lengths to start what he was doing now- resurrecting his father.

"Hello, father," Drago replied.

Shendu sounded immensely proud, in only the way a father could be. You are quite early, my son. I would have not expected you to complete such dark magic while you're barely nearing a few decades...

"Thank you, father. You will not be fully resurrected until I fully complete this spell, but you will be able to remain in this temporary state. You can talk to me, but do not have your body back yet."

I understand. It is already more than expected of you, so do not worry. By the way, how is your mother holding up?

Drago thought of his mother. She seemed to be doing all right. She, too, had been enraged at the Chans, but trusted Drago would do well on his conquest for revenge; she had opted to stay in the spirit realm when her son asked to take her along to the mortal one. "Fine," he answered.

Very good, very good. I'm sure she'll be pleased to know I'm coming home soon, Shendu replied. I think those three humans are still loyal to me... shall you check? I think you know who I'm referring to. If you ever need help, summon them.

Drago thought back to his father's old henchmen. Ratso, Finn, and Chow. What loonies they were. They couldn't do anything right. But he just bit his tongue. "Yes, father. Well, I'm going to ask them for help… you might want to speak with them. Goodbye." Drago walked out of the cemetery and headed towards the side of town where the enforcers lived. It was payback time for the Chans.

A/N: This is my first ever Jackie Chan Adventures story, so I'd appreciate as much advice/constructive criticism/suggestions as possible! I'm pleased as to how this story going thus far. It should be running quite smoothly after the next few chapters, I'm sorry this one was so very, very short but It seems I'm out of time to type for tonight, and I wanted to get this down so I can work on the next chapter immediately! Until next time.
