J: Yup. I went there...again. "Sigh" To those that follow me for my other stories you'll notice that this is written a little more...awkwardly. The reason for that being that there was practically no fanfiction for me to read before hand and become accustomed to how the characters should be portrayed through third person perspective. As I write it will get better.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Jackie Chan Characters.

P.S. To those waiting for chapters of the Babysitter series there is a chapter finished I'm just waiting for it to get edited.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK JCA FANS!

Prologue

Jade couldn't stop Shendu in time, she managed to pull a piece of paper from the book but not stop him. The Book of Ages flashed knocking her into darkness. When she woke up to the unpaved road and old fashioned homes she knew the worst had happened. Her nightmares became reality upon seeing Shendu in flesh and blood. From there things became worse and worse. Her hero Uncle Jackie didn't know how to fight and the two of them were stuck as Shendu's servants. She had to do something, she remembered the way things were supposed to be, it was up to her to put things right.

Chapter One

"Child, it's talon day." Shendu held up his foot expectantly, Jade saw a different manner of insects and clumped dead skin around his toes. She was gonna hurl up the last thing she ate at Mooseworld the smell was so rank.

She had to cooperate though, if she acted as her normal defiant self Shendu would notice something was wrong. Jackie reached over and handed her the talon clippers. 'Do it for the world, you can get back at him for this. Just don't think about it. Think about chiselling puppies and rainbows in his old stone body. Yes, such awesome revenge would be hers once everything was back to normal.' A pleased smirk at her awful thoughts stretched across Jade's face.

Shendu glanced around his room filled with servants. Valmont and the enforcers made excellent jesters. Jackie Chan an obedient food servant that never disappointed. The child also did her tasks well. 'What is this? Why is she smiling?' Shendu narrowed his eyes upon the human girl. This was not right. He knew quite well that talon's day brought a sickly colour to her face, not once had she ever smiled. His enemies were never allowed to feel happiness, it was only him who would feel joy in their suffering. His eyes never left her as she completed the task, he waited until she finished before addressing her.

Jade clipped off the last talon with a sigh of relief, no more nasty nails and gunk. She gave the expected bow and moved to make a run for it. "Stay child. The rest of you will leave." The Dark Hand jesters gladly fled, Jackie gave her a worried look and reluctantly left.

'Oh no, oh no, oh no! There's no way he knows I remember.' Jade's heart felt ready to burst it was pumping so fast from panic. To hide her nerves she lowered her head to avoid eye contact. Seconds passed with her looking at the floor and Shendu in turn scrutinizing her. He could smell her fear and see that her hands clutched the bottom of her shirt from nerves. He leaned forward to inspect her more closely, "Why were you smiling just now?"

'Uh oh, quick think of something!' "I -I was just remembering my dream from last night." Her voice wavered with the lie, the lie that might work.

"Oh? And what happened in this dream?" There was something different, something he couldn't pin point about her appearance.

"I was in a field of flowers and had a puppy." Jade felt proud on that one. It was so childish and girly Shendu had to accept the lie. To add to it she finally looked up to show a face of youthful innocence.

She'd habitually made hand gestures with her explanation, allowing Shendu to finally catch sight of the difference he'd been looking for. A moose shaped wrist watch was on her wrist when it should not exist. There was no technology in this world since man kind had been enslaved, preventing them from producing electricity and their annoying machines. "So, you do remember. I don't know how you were unaffected but you will not be given an opportunity to be a problem." The shadow khaun were on her before she could move her foot off the ground.

They pinned her down with her face smooshed against the floor, no longer needing to act she struggled, "Let me go you stupid ninja! Rrgh!" Jackie's training could only do so much, but with a small body that training gave her no aid in a match of physical strength.

Shendu leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees, "Now what should I do with you? Lock you up in the dungeon for you to slowly wither away into nothing? Or perhaps feed you to my pets?…No, you are a Chan. You would find a way to get free in both scenarios. That leaves me with no choice but to incinerate you here and now."

Flames gathered in his mouth, Jade closed her eyes and struggled harder. Things couldn't end this way, the demons had to be stopped.

"Father, what are you doing?" A male voice with an unnatural gravel under tone filled the empty throne room.

Jade cracked open an eye to see that Shendu's flames had gone back into his body. She followed Shendu's gaze to the right of the room where a figure about the same height as Uncle stood in the shadows. He stepped forward into the light allowing Jade to see that he was covered in green scales, had a tail and red eyes. He wore a sleeveless black shirt with red lining and a flame design in the middle of his chest. In modern terms Jade would call him a lizard man. Shendu smiled, "Excellent timing Drago, I was just about to burn this human into ashes. I know you enjoy executions."

Drago looked to be in his teens maybe twenties if he were human. Connecting the dots from what she'd just heard Jade had to comment, "Wow aren't you a great father figure, what's better than letting your kid watch another kid be roasted alive?" This earned her a glare from father and son. Jade didn't care, if she was going to be toast she would make sure to go out fighting in some way.

"I've changed my mind. You may have the honour destroying this disobedient urchin." Shendu relaxed back in his throne, his son was more ruthless than him. Jade Chan's execution would be much worse he was sure.

The shadow khaun that had been holding her down released her. Given the chance to move she did an under leg sweep to unbalance the ninja. Up on her feet she took off running. She'd assumed that Shendu's speed was only thanks to the rabbit talisman. This assumption was proven wrong when Drago raced ahead of her to block her escape. In a quick grab he had her up in the air close to his face. On eye level Drago saw her fear slowly take place of her defiance. He relished in the abundance of fear humans produced," Any last words shrimp?"

"Non that I wouldn't get grounded for later." She was afraid, she was sure Drago could feel her heart beat through his grip on her arms. Her parents, Uncle and Jackie would be devastated when they learned she was dead.

Drago cocked a smirk, "Good choice." He dropped her on the floor. Jade hadn't expected it and landed on her back uncomfortably. It didn't make sense, why drop her if he was going to kill her? Her answer came in the form of Drago's foot connecting with her stomach and sending her flying across the room.

That had really hurt, her hands holding her soon to be bruised stomach she staggered onto her feet to glare at Drago for an explanation, "You don't get to die so easily. You will learn your place first even if I have to beat you into one giant bruise."

Wincing with the movement she got into the fighting stance Uncle Jackie had taught her. Surprise registered on Drago's face from this and remained when she scoffed at him, "Tch, you can try, but I know the ancient art of butt whoop."

Drago liked this change. It was pathetic how humans would bow and quiver just from a look. If the human could fight he might actually enjoy himself. He closed the distance between them with a leap, she jumped out of the way with a back flip. He attacked with punches that she dodged well enough while backing up, when he changed to a kick abruptly she managed to block but went sliding backwards from the force. The impact had made her arm go numb and even shaking it out didn't do much to regain the feeling.

Drago invited her to take the offensive with the 'come hither' hand gesture. Jade accepted that invitation and took off charging, timing her jump she went in with her drop kick. Drago anticipated this by side stepping to let her continue onwards into the wall. At the last second she put out her other foot so both met the wall allowing her to fall onto her hands and fold back onto her feet. Drago changed tactics and launched a fire ball at her. Diving out of the way Jade cried out, "Hey! Fire balls are cheating!"

"My house my rules little girl." Drago was grinning, he was thoroughly enjoying himself. It didn't bother him that a lowly human girl was trying to fight him or that he was holding back. He wanted to draw this out until he could just touch her to make her fall to the floor.

The barrage of fire balls continued with Jade being able to do nothing but dodge. Shendu watched the sad excuse of a fight only to see how his son handled things. Shendu was pleased to see the annoying girl struggle to survive, and even more pleased to see his son enjoying himself. He should have let Drago play with his servants long ago.

Jade was slowing down, if the extreme game of dodge ball went on for much longer she'd get hit for sure. "I believe you've played long enough Drago."

Drago scowled over his shoulder at his father, "Fine." Jade couldn't believe it, Drago had been holding back. He hadn't taken her serious at all. Realizing this brought on another wave of fear, she'd barely kept up at that level. With him going full out she was done for.

At full speed Jade only saw him as a green blur. She was flat on her back with Drago's foot pressed down on her chest in a blink. The wind knocked out of her she wheezed and coughed. As air filled her lungs Jade put her hands to work clawing and pulling on Drago's foot. "It was fun while it lasted." Flames built in his mouth to be a stream rather than a shot. Jade experienced some déjà vu as she closed her eyes and covered her face with her arms.

The heat and light came but not on her, it hit the floor next to her. When the light and heat stopped she uncovered her face to see a scorch mark next to her head, the bit of hair that had been close at the time was singed adding an unpleasant aroma to the air. Once again she was still alive, looking up at Drago she found him glaring at her with a thoughtful tilt to his head, "What is the meaning of this Drago?" Shendu knew Drago was still in a rebellious stage but to not kill someone was out of character for him.

Drago reached down and grabbed Jade by her shirt. He explained as he changed his hold from the front of her shirt to the back collar, " I've made a decision. You've been telling me to get my own servant instead of borrowing and killing yours. I've decided SHE will be my servant."

Shendu beat Jade to the punch in an exclamation of surprise, "WHAT? No! I will not allow this."

Drago smirked at this, his voice oozing with confidence he practically crowed, "Under our laws a demon may do as they like with the life of another if that life is within their power. You relinquished your claim on her life when you allowed me to execute her." Jade was more stunned by the fact that demons had laws rather than her life being spared for personal servitude to Lizard Boy.

Shendu growled in frustration. It was times like these that he cursed the laws that kept his kind from going to war with each other. Rising from his throne Shendu pointed at Jade with a hiss, "Listen to me Drago. That child is not to be underestimated, she knows what was before I put us back into power. She is one of the four that has fought against me and my siblings. She is a threat and must be eliminated."

As Shendu explained Jade's past involvement with the demons she couldn't help but smile smugly, it felt good to be recognized as a force to be worried about. Her smile fell when Drago smiled wider, "Don't worry, after I'm done with her she'll be as harmless as a fly.
