Project Dark Jade:

A mutual project carried out by Eduard Kassel and Nocturne no Kitsune. It turns out we have many similar interests and disatisfactions. In one case this resulted in us working together to address a depressing vaccum in the Jackie Chan Adventures Archives. Namely stories in which the shows leading little lady either strays or is press ganged unto the dark side.

"Queen of All Oni"(Running): My contribution diverges at the begining of the Shadow Khan arc. Rather than Daolon Wong's spell reawkening the ancient ruler of the Shadow Khan, he revives a newer evil. The Queen of the Shadow Khan has risen again, and the hunt for the masks is on. Not only must Jackie and Torhu save the world they must save Jade from the darkess that engulfs her, if they can.

"Queen of Shadows"(Running): Nocturne no Kitsune has a rather different, but highly enjoyable approach in mind. When Jade attacked the Shendu possessed Jackie she made him slash a page with ink, setting the course of history into chaos. She awakens to find herself a powerful ruler in ancient Japan with mighty armies at her disposal. The armies beng the tribes of Shadow Khan and herself the dreaded Queen of Shadows. Can she mend the damage done to history and return to her proper self and time. Will she survive the forces of Light and rivals in Darkness long enough to even try?

"Jade Dragon"(Planning): No blue skin here, we are not horses of a single trick. In this collaboration a magic mirror sends Jade on astrange but very familiar journey. For now we will leave it at that.

"When I Grow up"(Complete): Does knowing the future mean you can change it? Or is fate the one thing not even the indomitable Jade Chan can overcome?

"A Shadow of the Titans"(Running): Orginally concieved by Nocturne no Kitsune it has become a collaboration between him and Eduard Kassel. A sweeping lengthy saga crafted over much of 2009 in secret, the prologue was written months ago by Nocturne. The hiatus has delayed the launch leaving Kassel with the notes and plot outlines but now that Nocturne has given his blessing this project can proceed:

An accident during a bainishing spell sends Jade cear to another world, but the intervention of a mysterious entity complicates her problems. Once more the Queen of the Shadowkhan Jae muist survive the world of the Teen Titans where supoer heroes asnd villains clash in seemingly endless struggles of good and evil. An not only that she must try and find a way to return, or will this world's promises sway her from thar course? Expected to be epic in length, and hopefully epic in other ways.

"Beyond my Abilities"(Development & Planning): A Delve into how power corrupts, and the desire for power corrupts absolutely. Once all the adventures are over and life has calmed down, Jade laments the loss of her exciting lifestyle. But the worse is yet to come, as she starts to feel ignored and useless. Her Uncles are seeming to drift away from her, and deny her the things she earned on her exploits like Training in the Martial arts with Jackie, or watching as Uncle brews another spell. Thinking that she is being dragged down into obscurity, Jade desperately attempts to find a way to add that exceptional aspect to her life again.

And she gets exactly what she wants, when she discovers a small shop with no name. But is the asking price for this stores special products more then What Jade is willing to pay? Status: Concept Stages

"Roommate"(Running): ppH's entry begins at the start of season 2. When Jade gets between Valmont and Shendu. Things are turned upside down.

Now stuck with the bad guys and with a 900 year old dragon in her head. Will Jade find her way back into the light?.

Or will Shendu drag her down into the darkness?.

"Beyond my Abilities"(Development & Planning): A Delve into how power corrupts, and the desire for power corrupts absolutely.

Thinking that she is being dragged down into obscurity, Jade desperately attempts to find a way to add that exceptional aspect to her life again.

"The Blue Knight and The Dark Queen"(On Hold): D. J. Scales comes onto the scene with a new take on the concept. In this tale the King revives the Queen during the faithful meeting on the runway. With two members of dark royalty dedicated to the quest the situation is grim for our remaining heroes. Now, with the balance between good and evil disrupted even more than usual Uncle summons new champions to aid in their struggle. The Dark Forces may have regained a Queen but the forces of good have gained a Blue Knight and the enchanted sword Caliburn to their cause. Crossover with Sonic and The Black Knight.

"Queen's Ascension"(Running): What if when the 9 Oni Masks broke, something different happened than the generals being revived? What If Jade was given the chance to once again be the ShadowKhan Queen? A new spin on the return of the Queen; the motives especially are intriguing in this budding tale. Note: This story rearranges the continuity in regards to the seasons.

"Demon Sorceress of Fire"(Running): Jade has earned her place as a Demon Sorcerer by slaying the previous holder of the title. Compelled by her 'brothers and sisters', she will now restore the power of the Dark Hand, free the Demon Sorcerers to rebuild their kingdoms anew, all while trying to stop the slow merging of her soul with Shendu and retain her humanity.
