Still chuckling darkly over his new plan Shendu summoned the Shadow Khan. One of them walked forward and bowed before handing the Demon Sorceror a musty tome covered with writing that was indecipherable, due in equal parts to its advanced age and the strange tongue in which it is inscribed.
Shendu sat down and began to page through the book muttering to himself, leaving the Enforcers to scratch their heads in confusion. "...this spell should suffice with only a few adjustments..." The dragon sorceror stroked his/Valmont's chin speculatively. "Meant originally for petty revenge it should serve my purpose nicely if I increase the range..." Shendu paused for a moment, thoughtful. "I think the spell should also be tailored to afflict a former employee of mine...the Sumo Warrior Tohru. He has proved nearly as adept at defeating each of you as Chan has."
"Uhm...Shendu...wha--?" Finn began to ask after 15 more minutes passed in this fashion, but the query died on his lips under a glare that promised more flames if he continued to interrupt.
"Well..." Finn said quietly, "If ya won't be needing us..." Chow added with a nervous laugh, "We'll....just get outta your hair." Finished Ratso. And the three of them turned tail and practically fled from the cannery. Hak Fu remained, standing a silent sentinel.
Roughly half an hour later Shendu called to his Shadow Khan again, and bade them retrieve the necessary spell ingredients. Mindless and without imagination though the Khan were, on errands such as this they were far more efficient than human enforcers, especially seeing to the rarity of a few of the ingredients (these the Khan stole from Uncle's own personal store of ingredients, and for once managed to remain completely undetected).
One by one, the benighted ninjas handed over the ingredients and Shendu began to concoct the spell, chanting softly as he did. The flame in the basin changing color as he dropped in each herb and powder, and giving off ever thicker smoke. As Shendu's incantation reached a crescendo an orb of flames, smoke, and what appeared to be pure light began to form above the basin. As a final touch, Shendu breathed a gout of flame directly into the orb, which brightened to a dazziling glare and exploded outward in a gust of hot air.
"And now, we wait..." Shendu said, looking pleased.
