The Dark Side of Lord Shen

MSM Poster

The Dark Side of Lord Shen is the 16th Episode of Season 3A of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. Lord Shen is getting troubled with his own life. When he and Kairi get into a fight after she almost gets hurt during one of her rides with Spyro (Which she actually wanted to take to the extreme), Shen promptly grounds her from Spyro for 3 days, resulting in a fight with Spyro. But soon, his built up anger has caused a brewing and terrible darkness within Shen is starting to be released. Until it's eventual rise, Shen begins to act more angry and moody than he normally is, or was, snaps at everyone, even to Celestia. Soon, Celestia discovers that the accursed Dark Shen that Lord Cobra created and immediately denied since it was too dangerous is finally being released, and it has been occurring ever since Discord contracted the Magic Flu. They soon find out that the only way to stop the darkness within Shen is to fix the dysfunctional bonds of those he cares for, mainly Kairi herself. So Kairi decides that she and the Lodgers must stop Shen from doing something he'll regret, and save him before the darkness within him escapes.

Intro (Lord Shen's Theme)

Chapter 1: Epic Flight

Skullian Prime, 2 days after the last episode...

• Architect: "Finally..... The time, has, arrived."
• The Architect started to laugh as he opened a vision portal to show Spyro and Kairi riding.

Dragon Realms.

• Tricorn: (She was outside seeing her own statue)... Well, a load of adventures and situations from those misfits, and yet you still stand tall!
• ???: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!! (Something zooms by her, and almost knocks down the statue)
• Tricorn: NO! NO, NO, NOT THE STATUE!! (The statue begins to tip over in slow motion) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...(Suddenly, the fast-moving object stops it from falling, and it spins around and screws it into the ground, anchoring it inside)
• Kairi: Did someone do a slow-motion 'Nooo'?
• Tricorn: Oh, it's you two! I see you flying over the city almost every week.
• Spyro: Well, it is a hobby we like to do after all. You should really come out one of these days and watch us do stunts. Kairi and I have been practicing flying stunts ever since the circus fiasco.
• Kairi: You know, the one that made you glitch?
• Tricorn: Yes, I remember that. And no thank you. As a senator, I have more important things to do than watch you possibly get your peacock uncle get a heart attack.
• Kairi: Well, okay, then! Your loss! (They fly back off into the sky, and the camera focuses on them as they go higher up into the sky) YAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
• Spyro: Hey, there's a forest over there! Should we go down there and test our dodging skills?
• Kairi: Ready when you are, my brother!
• Spyro: Alright, HERE WE GO!! (They dive down towards the ground, and enter the tree canopy, and they manage to dodge every single obstacle in their path. First Kairi manages to leap off of Spyro to jump over a branch. Then she leaps and actually jumps onto a branch, leaps off it, does a somersault, grabs onto a tree branch, swings on it, lets go, and hops back onto Spyro) WHOA, Kairi, you did that in 5 seconds.
• Kairi: A new record!
• Spyro: Uh... (They find a whole area filled with obstacles such as tangled plants, vines, snakes, and predators)... I think we should stop here.
• Kairi: Pfft, you're really gonna pass down another golden opportunity?
• Spyro: I don't know. It looks kind of dangerous.
• Kairi: We LAUGH at the face of danger. Let's do it!
• Spyro:... Okay, if you insist. (They dart towards the obstacles, and Kairi leaps off the saddle, then begins doing gymnastic stunts as she leaps across branches, does some branch-sliding, swings on vines, as Spyro was dodging the obstacles with unique evasive flying maneuvers, and in the end, Kairi was back on the saddle again)
• Kairi: See? What did I tell you? A leap of faith!
• Spyro: I must say, I am impressed. You're doing very well with these things.
• Kairi: Yeah. I'll take any time to learn a proper stunt. Remember when Pocahontas taught me her diving trick?
• Spyro: Should we try that?
• Kairi:...Hmm, not a bad suggestion. Alright! Full speed upward! (They fly out of the tree canopy, and reach up into the air as high as they could)
• Spyro: WHOO! IS IT ME, OR IS THE AIR A BIT... (With a squeaky voice) THIN?
• Kairi: (With squeaky voice) Yeah, but still the perfect height for our technique. Alright, are you ready?
• Spyro: I was born ready. (Kairi stands up off her saddle)
• Kairi: 3... 2... 1...NOW! (Leaps off of the saddle, and does an actual Pocahontas dive while Spyro dived down with her through incredible maneuvers) THIS IS SO AWESOME!! THE BEST FUN I'VE HAD ON A SADDLE RIDE!!
• Spyro: I KNOW!! (They continue the diving posture until they are about to reach the ground, and Kairi stops her posture as she gets back on the saddle)
• Kairi: WOOOOOOOO-HOO-HOO!! THE WRIGHT BROTHERS AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON THIS!!
• Spyro: So, what should we try next? I'm game for anything!
• Kairi: Hmm, let me think...(Sees a cliff below)...Spyro, my friend, I think it's finally time we tried flying into Destroyer's Precipice.
• Spyro: What? Isn't that the most dangerous place for a dragon to fly in? Not just for the long drop of 100ft, but for it's wide amount of leftover Golems from Malefor's defeat, AND for the many monsters that dwell inside?
• Kairi: Hey, SpongeBob and Patrick can survive in a trench filled with obstacles and beasts, so I'm sure we both can handle a precipice that is said to be a leftover landmark from the Destroyer that Malefor used to try and destroy this whole planet.
• Spyro:...Are you sure that Lord Shen can accept that? His outbursts have been occurring more often than before lately.
• Kairi: Oh, he truly cares about me. He would never do anything as ridiculous as grounding me from you. Besides, we both agreed that we would try the Precipice someday. Who knows, maybe we can do our first battles together.
• Spyro: Well... Alrighty. Are you ready?
• Kairi: As I'll ever be! LET'S FLY! (They fly down into the precipice)

Dragon Temple

• Lord Shen: (Comes out of the front entrance with Boss Wolf, and takes a deep breath) AHHH, nothing like a nice breath of fresh air to try and recover from certain crazy outbursts. I sure hope my dear niece is having a good and safe time flying.
• Icky: Oh, I'm sure they are, Shen. OOH, I think I see them!
• Lord Shen: WHERE?!? (He sees them heading to the Precipice)...
• Boss Wolf: Uh... Is it me... Or are they heading directly to... Destroyer's Precipice?
• Cynder: (Arrives) Wait, THE Destroyer's Precipice? As in what is considered the most dangerous place for a dragon to go to out of risk of getting killed by golems and monsters?
• Lord Shen:... WHY THE F*** DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT PLACE?!? I WOULD'VE WARNED KAIRI NOT TO GO THERE!!! OH, GOD, MY LITTLE NIECE IS GONNA BE TORN APART BY GOLEMS!!!
• Cynder: She's not little anymore, Shen.
• Lord Shen: YES, SHE IS!! (Throws a blade that Cynder dodges and it strikes a tree) COME ON, WE NEED TO GET OUR ASSES OVER THERE AND RESCUE HER!!!
• Lord Shen runs off, with complete shock from Cynder.
• Cynder: "..... He, he never did that to me before!? HE NEVER DOES THAT TO ME UNLESS HE WAS TRAINING ME HOW TO DODGE FASTER!?"
• Icky: "..... I think Shen's temper has gotten worse now."
• Cynder: "YOU THINK?!"
• Boss Wolf: "We need to follow that Bird!"

Destroyer's Precipice

• Spyro was flying around.
• Else where, three golums that are redesigns of the First Golum are seen playing cards.
• Golum 1: "Got any threes?"
• Golum 2: "(Norwegeen accsent) Gold'a fish'a."
• Golum 3: "(Austriallian accent) Oy mates? Did ya ever missed Bob Earth Golum? The poor bloke that ended up stuck in Male-jerk's control?"
• Golum 1: "Totally! He never got to become sentient like us! Now he's stuck a blinded raging monster! That really sucks!"
• Golum 3: "Yeah, I hate those dragons for not forgiving us for just being under an awful enfluence of that stupid rouge of theirs!"
• Golum 2: "Yeah, if'a only'a we have'a way'a to get'a even'a." 
• Golem 3: Me, too! (Sighs, and Spyro and Kairi are seen flying above them)
• Kairi: HEY, ARE THOSE GOLEMS DOWN THERE?!?
• Spyro: SURE ARE, AND THEY'RE... Playing cards? These things are actually sentient? I- (Suddenly, a burst of fire got him off track)
• Spyro/Kairi: WHOOOAAAAAAAHHHH!!! (They end up crashing in the middle of the Golems' table, scattering their cards)
• Golem 3: AW, CRIKEY, MATE, IT TOOK ME A FULL 10 HOURS TO GET THIS CLEAN!!
• Golem 1: Well, well, looky what we've got here! TRESPASSERS!! (Spyro and Kairi look up to see the Golems looking at them)
• Golem 2: Wait, that'a isn't just'a any trespassers! They're Spyro and Kairi'a, those guys that'a we see flying across the land'a!
• Golem 1: AND SPYRO IS NONE OTHER THEN THE DRAGON THAT TOOK POOR BOB FROM US?! YOU THINK IT'S FAIR TO PUNISH OUR RACE BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID DIPSHIT MALEFOR!?
• Kairi:... Uh-oh!
• Spyro: Relax, Kairi, we can take them. You have your Keyblade on you?
• Kairi: Well, Sora did teach me how to automatically summon it to me at any time. (Puts her hand out, and her Keyblade teleports directly into her grip)...
• Spyro: Neat.
• Golem 2: MY GOD'A!! SHE'S GOT A KEYBLADE'A!!
• Golem 3: No worries, we can just crush- (Spyro began spinning around the 3rd Golum, making him dizzy) WHOA, WHOOOA WHOA!? STOP, YOUR SPINNING'S GONNA MAKE ME LOST ME LUNC- (Falls straight down the crevice) AAAAAAAA, GALAAAAAHHHHHH... (A crash was heard)
• Kairi: "Looks like it's back downunder for that Golum."
• Golem 1: OH, YOU DUMB BIMBO, NOBODY-
• Spyro: HEY, NOBODY CALLS KAIRI A BIMBO!! (Arial-Strikes the purple crystal on his giant chest)
• Golem 1: D'OOOH, OOOHHH!! THAT SERIOUSLY HUR- (Falls down another crevice) WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
• Golem 2: WHAT'A ARE YOU'A DOING'A?!? YOU HAVE'A NO IDEA HOW'A HARD IT IS TO GET OUT OF A- ( Spyro used Power Purple to hit the Golum hard enough that he was actselly sent flying and screaming as he falls down another crevice)
• Kairi:... (Laughs) And... Here I thought we were screwed! THAT WAS THE EASIEST FIGHT EVER!! (Laughs, and soon Spyro joins in the laughing as well)
• Spyro: I thought we were boned for a second there! (Laughs) Well, I think that's about enough dwelling in this place for once. We gotta get back up to the surface.
• Kairi: Agreed! (She gets onto the saddle, and they fly out of the precipice)... WHEW! What a rush that was!
• Spyro: Yeah, it felt good!
• ???: KAIRIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! SPYROOOOOOOO!!! (They see Lord Shen, Boss Wolf, Icky, and Cynder down on the ground, Lord Shen being the one shouting) GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!!!
• Spyro: Uh-oh! Lord Shen doesn't sound too happy down there.
• Kairi: Well, I'm sure he'll never be as mad as he has been. As soon as we get down there, he'll say-

Chapter 2: Shen's Argument

Dragon Temple

• Lord Shen: WHAT THE FLYING F*** WERE YOU TWO THINKING GOING INTO THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE DRAGON REALMS?!? YOU COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!!! STUPID FLYING STUNTS ARE ONE THING, BUT RECKLESS ABANDON AND FLYING TORWORDS DANGERIOUS AREAS?! THAT'S WHERE I DRAW THE LINE?!
• Icky: "You're drawing lines now?"
• Cynder: "(Wispers) Not actual lines, numbskull."
• Spyro: "Shen, you know that Kairi can handle herself. Why, we managed to kick some serious golum butt back there. Granted, I mostly did the work, but-"
• Lord Shen: "ONLY TO INSPIRE THEM TO DECLAIR THE ASSULT AN ACT OF WAR?! YOU HAVE ANY BLOODLY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS FOR THE HIGH COUNCIL TO MAINTAIN A PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE WITH THE NON-DARKSPAWNIFIVED MALEFOR CREATURES?!"
• Spyro: "..... Difficult, I bet?"
• Lord Shen: "EXACTLY, YOU PUPRLE MENACE?! HARDER THEN YOU COULD EVER PROCESS, YOU TECNICOLORED RETARDED LIZARD-LIKE MORON!? WHY ARE YOU EVER SECONDARY LEADER!? YOU AREN'T EVEN A FOUNDER?!"
• Boss Wolf: "Well, in all fairness sir, it was mainly Tman's idea, and-"
• Lord Shen: "SHUT UP?! AS GENERAL, I'LL HAVE A WORD WITH SPONGEBOB AND CONVINCE HIM TO SUSPEND YOU FROM MISSIONS!? AND KAIRI!? FROM THIS MOMENT ON, YOUR GROUNDED FROM ANY MORE STUPID STUNTS WITH SPYRO FOR 3 DAYS TOPS?! NOW GO TO YOUR ROOM YOU BLASTED HAIRLESS APE?! (Everyone was shocked at that statement)"
• Kairi:... Uncle Shen... WHAT WAS THAT NAME-CALLING ALL ABOUT?!?
• Spyro: YEAH, AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO SEPARATE US?!?
• Lord Shen: I AM HER CARETAKER AND ADOBTED UNCLE, GENIUS, AND I CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT WITH HER, THAT'S WHAT!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN I'LL HAVE TO MAKE IT A WEEK!!
• Cynder: SHEN! What is WRONG with you?!?
• Lord Shen: SHUT UP, CYNDER!! MY DECISION IS FINAL!! GO TO YOUR ROOM, YOUNG LADY!! NOW!!
• Kairi:... (She soon starts crying)
• Icky: JESUS CHRIST SHEN!? Now I can understand being upset about Kairi and Spyro causing a potaintionally dangerious international insodent with those Golums, but REALLY?!
• Lord Shen: THIS IS NOT YOUR CONCERN, PREHISTORIC ONE!! IT IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR YOUR BLASTED ONE-LINER QUIBS?!
• Icky:... Not cool, bro.
• ???: What's with all the yelling down here, we can hear it all the way from up there! (The rest of the Lodgers appeared, and saw Kairi crying)
• Po: Uh... Why is Kairi crying?
• Spyro: Well, SOMEONE has the balls to get angry and not only ground his own niece from her adopted brother for 3 days, HE CALLED HIS OWN NIECE A HAIRLESS APE!! WHAT KIND OF UNCLE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?
• Lord Shen: (Grabs Spyro by the horns) YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT, LIZARD-FACE?!? MY NIECE, MY RESPONSIBILITY!!?
• Ignitus: Shen, what is the meaning of this? Why are you acting like this?
• Lord Shen: SHE AND SPYRO WENT TO DESTROYER'S PRECIPICE AND ALMOST GOT KILLED ENCOUNTERING AND ASSAULTING GOLEMS!!! THAT CALLS FOR SEVERE PUNISHMENT!! AND WHY AREN'T YOU STILL IN YOUR ROOM, YOUNG LADY?!?
• Kairi: I am NOT A YOUNG LADY, UNCLE SHEN!! *Sniff* AND YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A VILLAIN AGAIN!!
• Lord Shen: IN YOUR ROOM, KAIRI! NOW!!
• Kairi: (Cries harder as she runs up to her room)
• SpongeBob:... SHEN, I AM SURPRISED AT YOU!!!
• Icky: WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING?!?
• Lord Shen: (Slaps Icky) DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY IDEA HOW SERIOUS THIS IS?!? KAIRI AND SPYRO HAVE RISKED ANOTHER ATTACK FROM GOLEMS!! DO YOU HAVE ANY F****** IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS DEALING WITH THE LAST GOLEM ATTACK?!?
• Cynder: LORD SHEN, CALM DOWN FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
• Lord Shen: I'M COMPLETELY CALM!!!
• Spyro: OH NO YOU AREN'T, YOU SADISTIC MONSTER! (Lashes at Shen with his tail)
• Everyone: Oooooh!
• Lord Shen:... You DARE lay your hands on the General?!?
• Mantis: "Tecnecally, it was his tail-"
• Lord Shen: "STAY OUT OF THIS, YOU GREEN COCKAROUCH?!"
• Mantis: "Well, mantises feel more akin to like, grasshoppers and crickets then-"
• Spyro: I DARE BECAUSE YOU HAVE JUST GONE TOO FAR WITH THIS!!
• Lord Shen: YOUR ACTIONS A FEW MOMENTS AGO ARE GOING TO BECOME THE DEATH OF THIS ENTIRE AREA!!!
• Spyro: Oh, look who's talking! YOUR ACTIONS A FEW SECONDS AGO ARE GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF NOT JUST YOUR FRIENDSHIPS, BUT YOUR FAMILY AS WELL!! YOU MADE KAIRI CRY, AND THAT IS NOT BEING A GOOD UNCLE!!
• Lord Shen: I'M TRYING TO PROTECT HER!! I CAN'T HELP IT THAT SOMETIMES SHE DOESN'T APPRESIATE PROPER PUNISHMENT?!
• Spyro: BY NOT LETTING HER HAVE ANY FUN?!?
• Lord Shen: THAT?!? THAT WAS NOT FUN!! BEATING UP A BUNCH OF GOLEMS, SKY-DIVING, GOING THROUGH HAZARDOUS LANDS, THAT WAS THE OPPOSITE OF FUN!!!
• Spyro: DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT FUN IS?!?
• Lord Shen: I KNOW WHAT DANGER IS, I'LL TELL YOU THAT!!
• Spyro: (Shrugs) I AM SO SICK OF YOU BEING OVER-PROTECTIVE ON KAIRI!! WE BOTH DO ALL THOSE THINGS MAINLY TO SHOW YOU THAT SHE'S NOT A LITTLE CHILD ANYMORE!!! SHE IS A GROWN 21-YEAR-OLD ADULT!! AND YOU TREAT HER LIKE SHE WAS JUST BORN!!
• Lord Shen: DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THINGS IN THE UUNIVERSES CAN KILL YOU?!? THIS PLACE IS FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH VILLAINY!! THE VILLAIN LEAGUE WANTS HER FOR SOME DARK RITUAL TO FREE THE DARKSPAWN!!! TEAM NEFARIOUS WANTS HER TO BECOME DR. NEFARIOUS' BRIDE!!! A COCKROACH EVEN WANTED TO TURN HER INTO A COCKROACH AND MARRY HER!!! PIRATES TRIED TO KILL HER!!! EVEN A BUNCH OF SMALL XENOPHOBIC RAT PIRATES ALMOST ENDED UP BEING THE DEATH OF HER!!! SHE COULD GET KILLED WHEREVER SHE STEPS!!!
• Spyro: I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM HEARING!!! YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST UNCLE KAIRI HAS EVER HAD, AND SHE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST!!! (Lord Shen was shocked by those words)
• Cyril: Alright, knock it off, both of you! Shen, just because these two did something risky, it doesn't give you the right to scold her like she was a brat. And Spyro, you'd better stay away from both Shen AND Kairi so nothing bad can happen.
• Spyro:... (Sheds a tear)... But... but we're best friends! We're like, brother and sister!
• Terrador: I'm sorry, Spyro, but if this is what Shen wants, then it's best not to anger him even more.
• Spyro:... (Starts crying and runs off)
• Lord Shen: Hmmph, good riddance! (Everyone looks at him angrily)... What?
• Cynder: "..... Father, these anger problems of yours need to be answered, NOW?!"
• Lord Shen: "Everyone, I ensure you, my anger here is justifived! You all know how those golums feel about being mistreated because of their brief suritude to Malefor! They're known to be upset for even a slight tresspass in their terratory!"
• Ignitus: "I have good connections with the Alpha Golum of that place. He'll keep the assulted Golums from making a new insodent happen."
• Spongebob: "Barnicles Shen! I know your known to be firey, but WOW did that really kinda pushed it?!"
• Lord Shen: "Everyone, you saw what happened! Spyro assulted me over being punished!"
• Spongebob: "Well, I can't really argue against that. Spyro was being a teensy bit out of character here and he is normally MUCH more well behaved then that, and I'll talk to him about not making situations worse, but Shen, you did kinda flipped out here."
• Lord Shen: "FLIPPED OUT?! MY RAGE IS PURELY JUSTIFIVED IN THIS CASE?! I-"
• Ignitus: Lord Shen, no more angry words! We're gonna have to ask you to go to your room so you can think about what you've done.
• Lord Shen: Oh, I'm SURE I did what I had to do! Maybe it'll teach those crazy kids not to go where they're not supposed to be.
• Merlin: (Sighs, and teleports Lord Shen off)
• Cynder:... (Sighs)
• Banzai: Oh, boy! That kind of surprise is awful hard to swallow!
• Shenzi: I know. Lord Shen would never yell at his own niece to the point of hurting her feelings. I mean, I know Shen would do something like ground her from Spyro, but not like how he just did it.
• Dodger: I don't know about you, but I think I smell a rat.
• Cynder: I think we should talk it out with Princess Celestia. She might need to know what just happened.

Shen's Room

• Lord Shen: "Oh, Kairi is my sister! And I get to do whatever fun I want with her! So get over it, you f****** pea-FOWL!!" WHAT A COMPLETE FOOL!! Everyone around me has NO idea how hard it is to take care of a closely-connected family member in a place where villainy can be found under the tiniest rock! I AM SO SICK OF EVERYONE PUTTING MY LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE IN DANGER!!! It's like they actually WANT her dead! Some brother that lizard with wings is! (As he continues ranting, his eyes start to glow red) What makes those two so close besides sharing a lost hero's two heart halves anyway? How does that even work for glory's sake!? It's not like they should be soul mates or anything! URRGGGHHH!! I'M SURROUNDED BY MORONS!!! EVERYONE WANTS TO KILL KAIRI!!! CRIMINALS, ANGRY DRUNK PEOPLE, RAPISTS, PIRATES, VILLANS, VICIOUS MONSTERS, DEMONS, THE WHOLE ENTIRE UUNIVERSES IS OUT TO GET HER!!! URRRGGGH, IT MAKES ME SO MAD... I THINK I'M GONNA CRACK!!! (His eyes turn completely red)
• Lord Shen started to get migrains!
• Lord Shen: "AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!? OW!? (PEACOCK SOUNDS)!? (Lord Shen's eyes returned to normal)! OW?! THAT WAS PAINFUL!? I..... I need some asprine."
• Lord Shen proceeded to seek out his asprine from his private cabinet.
• As Lord Shen closed the Cabinet, he screams as he saw himself wearing a black robe with red parts and his tail on fire.
• Lord Shen: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?"
• Lord Shen destroyed the mirror in fear!
• Lord Shen: "I.... I must be imagining things! It can't possability be.... HIM?! It's the stress messing with my mind! I need to..... Rest."
• Lord Shen took his asprine and proceeded to rest.
• Lord Shen: "Everyone will get over this mess. Everything will be fine."
• Dark Voice: "Or, will it, you simple fool?"
• A Peacock shaped shadow loomed over Shen.
• Lord Shen saw himself as the black-robed red part firy tailed Peacock again!
• Other Shen pounced at Real Shen, causing a huge fight of blades to ensure and wrecking the place!
• Lord Shen: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK?! I THOUGHT MANG GOT RID OF YOU?!"
• Other Shen: (Cackles) Let's just say that I have some new friends that are SO much better than that awful Mang! I'm the one who's been giving you all these anger issues! Well, as of recently anyway.
• Lord Shen:... YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!! WAIT UNTIL I TELL THE SHELL LODGERS-
• Other Shen: Oh, sure, what makes you think they'll listen to you after what you just did? Besides, you're not telling them ANYTHING, because I just knocked you out. Soon, I shall be taking over your mind, and making sure your life will be ruined in more ways than one!
• Lord Shen: NOT IF I FIGHT MY WAY THROUGH IT!!
• Other Shen: You are welcome to try! (Lord Shen and the Other Shen fight each other as the Other Shen gets the upper-hand. Lord Shen throws his blades at him, but he is able to grab them and throw them back at Shen. When Shen tries using his sword, the Other Shen grabs it from him and breaks it in half)
• Lord Shen: Okay... This calls for some heavier firepower! (Takes out his cannon)
• Other Shen: (Chuckles) Must I remind you that my fire powers are harnessed for fireworks? I could absorb that cannonball of yours easily!
• Lord Shen: YOU BLUFFER?! (Fires his cannon, but the Other Shen absorbs it up easily, and uses it against Shen in the form of a firework-based fire beam, which destroys Shen's cannon, and knocks him unconscious)
• Other Shen:... Oh, me..... Stubbern to a bitter end..... (Cackles)... Well, Shell Lodgers and friends, prepare to meet a much DARKER Lord Shen! (Cackles menacingly)

Chapter 3: Darkness Consumes Shen Again

Meanwhile...

• Celestia: HE DID WHAT?!?
• Icky: I'm as confused as you are, Princess! This is probably the biggest outburst Shen has had, and the worst part is that he would NEVER do it to Kairi of all people. I mean, come on, he called her a hairless ape, that's wildly unlike him!
• Celestia:... I need to have a talk with Shen about this! This anger situation has officially gone too far!
• ???: OH, I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU, PRINCESS!! (Lord Shen appears with red irises)
• Celestia: Shen?
• Lord Shen: Well, I hope this didn't come as a surprise to you, your highness! Because I have officially declared that there are going to be NEW RULES around here. And that is that EVERYONE is to do as I say!
• Celestia: What do you mean?
• Lord Shen: I'm saying that in order for horrible situations like what just accured to not happen again, I am going to be establishing some ground rules! 1. Kairi will NOT be going out of the Temple without an escort from now on. 2. People here will not disrespect my choices on her! And 3. I AM TO BE NEW SECONDARY LEADER OF THE SHELL LODGE SQUAD!!
• SpongeBob: Wow, this just took a dark turn!
• Icky: "More like the turn for the most bossiest."
• Celestia: Alright, Shen, this anger problem of yours has gone far enough! I don't know what's happening, but it's ending RIGHT NOW!
• Lord Shen: Oh, I'm REAL scared!
• Gary: Meow! (He is seen right next to Lord Shen's leg)
• Lord Shen: OH, GET AWAY, YOU LITTLE SLIME-BURGLAR! (Kicks Gary away as everyone gasps)
• SpongeBob: SHEN, WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!?
• Lord Shen: Another thing, I want that slimeball to GET OUT OF THE TEMPLE?!
• Icky: "Are you risking another An All-Out French Experience with Gary episode, Shen!? Cause that explitly controverseal episode is QUITE enough for this series thank you very much!"
• Celestia: SHEN, STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!!
• Lord Shen: Oh, you think you can control me now, missy? HAH! EVERYONE HERE ARE ALL MY BITCHES NOW!! And I'll make sure that this will be a flawless protection for Kairi! Thank you for your time, Princess!
• Celestia: Shen, don't you DARE turn off this communicator, or we're through!...
• Lord Shen: (He gets stopped by that statement until Dark Shen retakes control and shuts the communicator off, and chuckles) What a bitch! (Walks away as everyone looks in confusion)
• Monkey:... He... Just... Shunned Celestia?
• Trixie: "AND CALLED HER A BITCH?!"
• Private: That is so not like him!
• Patrick: "Wow. He really takes not upsetting those Golums very seriously."
• Cynder: "Guys, this is BEYOND that stupid little stunt now! Something seriously wrong is happening to Shen!"
• Icky: "Well, I can agree to that. This is beyond even his worse meltdowns in the past. Do you think that D-LOD syndrone he has is finally getting to him?"
• Shifu: I believe that it might be more than that. We need to go to Celestia and figure out what's going on! She's probably ticked that Lord Shen, the one who ever cared for her, just shot her off like she wasn't that important to him.

Equestria

• Celestia was surprisingly calm and drinking tea.
• Celestia: "I must thank Twilight for advising me to maintain my anger by drinking tea. It may most likely be thanks to her discovering Solar Flare though, but I thank my faithful student reguardless. But It's obvious to myself that Shen is severely raging out to where even I can't control him, Luna."
• Luna: "Do you think it's that D-LOD thing he has? It has been known to make Anti Heroes espeically angry, even more to those already known to be easily angered."
• Celestia: "I'm worried it's something that makes D-LOD look like autisum. Something worse... Something, almost akin to Cynder's avatar form... Something, that was once attempted by Mang...."
• Luna: By the Alicorns, you don't mean...
• Celestia: Yes... I mean Dark Shen! Looks like we need to warn the Shell Lodgers before it's too late!
• Luna: Gotcha!

Later...

• Celestia:... That's funny, they're not there.
• Luna: They must've left to talk to you about Shen's actions.
• Celestia: Yeah, they must have. Well, I guess in that case, we might have to wait.
• ???: Oh, you've already been waiting long enough. (The Lodgers appeared)
• Celestia: Wow, you're here already?
• Icky: It's only been an hour, Celestia, that's your biggest question?
• Celestia: Well... I think it's time you knew something about Shen.
• Cynder: You mean you know what might be causing his intense outbursts?
• Celestia: I believe so. You see, during the times when me and Lord Shen first met, I uncovered something strange that Mang was hiding. He was keeping plans for a weapon far stronger than Shen's cannons. He called it... Dark Shen. (Thunder and lightning struck)
• Po: Dark Shen? (Thunder and lightning struck)
• Celestia: Yes, Dark Shen! (Thunder and lightning struck) ALRIGHT, DERPY, YOU CAN STOP WITH THE DRAMA!
• Derpy: (She is seen with a lightning cloud as she nods 'yes' and flew away pushing the cloud off)
• Celestia: Anyway, Dark Shen was something that Mang never got the chance to put into effect because he declared it too dangerous for both heroes AND villains.
• Shenzi: So... Who's awakening it now?
• Celestia: I don't know, but I do know that Lord Shen is in serious trouble, and needs immediate help.
• Cynder: ".... I thought Mang said Dark Shen was gone for good!"
• Icky: "You KNEW ABOUT THIS!?"
• Cynder: "I was part of the second war, genius. I was away on a conquest mission when Mang was trying to create Dark Shen, but I remember when I came back..."

Flashback.

• Dark Cynder returned to a darkafived Radient Garden and entered the castle.
• Dark Cynder: "Bad news, father. The conquest was a failure thanks to the High Council! I swear, they're getting stronger every minute! We need a new stragity at once!"
• Mang's wimpy screams are heard!
• Dark Cynder: "I know those pathic screams everywhere! FATHER?!"
• Dark Cynder charged in!
• Dark Cynder opened through a dark lab door and discovered A darkafived Lord Shen attacking Lord Cobra as several silluetted figures were hiding.
• Dark Shen: "TURN ME INTO A MONSTER, WILL YOU, SANKE-ASS?! AS IF DESTROYING MY FAMILY BONDS AND MY LOVE LIFE WITH CELESTIA WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU?!"
• Cobra: "Now, now, Dark Shen, let's be reasonable! You were mainly a certain assusiate's of Malefor's idea! I wouldn't even dream of-"
• Dark Shen: "SILENCE?! NOW, I WILL DESTROY BOTH YOU, THE DARKSPAWN BROTHERHOOD AND THE HIGH COUNCIL FOR MY INCONVIENCES?!"
• Cobra: "(Sees Dark Cynder) Oh, Dark Cynder, your back. Could you be a dear and uh.... HELP ME OUT OF THIS MESS?!"
• Dark Shen: "MAKE A SUDDEN MOVE, CYNDER, AND THE IDIOT DIES?!"
• Dark Cynder: (Chuckles) I'm pretty sure that my father and myself have ways out of these situations.
• Dark Shen: Yeah? Like what- (Cobra zapped him with magical energy while he was distracted)
• (Cynder): I distracted him long enough for Mang to balance out his dark side, and lock it up within Shen so deep, that only Darkspawn were able to unleash it again.

Present

• Cynder: We believed that Dark Shen was gone for good. But now someone is trying to unleash him once again. Possibly another Darkspawn.
• Fidget: But who do we know that is a Darkspawn?
• Shifu: Well, the only ones we know are free are Fagin, Mirage, Makuta, Dr. Nefarious, and Architect.
• Cynder: "Well actselly, It was actselly the Architect's idea to make Dark Shen a thing to begin with. He was the most disappointed that Malefor declaired the Dark Shen project a forsakened failure."
• Luna: You think it might be Architect doing this?
• Shifu: Not likely. He wouldn't dare do such a minor evil plan and risk us going after him again for it. Sure he is still in Skullian Prime since we rescued Sopony and Sombor from him, and Cynder did say that he was the most upset with the delcaration, but he's still not the one to do such a risky act of evil. Besides, Darkspawn would hatch much more diabolical schemes than that, AND he knows that Dark Shen is too dangerous for evil as much as Mang does.
• Celestia: Well, Fagin and Mirage are with the Villain League, and both understand and respect Mang's final judgement on anything he's against, Mirage more begrudingly, so that's out. And Dr. Nefarious clearly doesn't have the knowledge to unleash such a powerful entity upon the UUniverses. He hardly even KNOWS about Dark Shen. And Makuta likes to keep to his own, and even then, he's still not powerful enough to do something like unleashe Dark Shen.
• Po: Then... Then who WOULD do something like this?
• Shifu: There is simply no time to think about the person responsible. We must get back to the Dragon Temple and make sure Lord Shen doesn't do anything he'll regret.
• Icky: "Wait.... Won't Shen be mad when he discovers that we're not even in the temple."
• Celestia: ".... We have to hurry to him now!"

Dragon Temple.

• Lord Shen was angerly standing outside.
• Lord Shen: "WHERE, ARE, THOSE IDIOTS?!"
• ???: Uncle Shen? (Kairi appears)
• Kairi: The Shell Lodgers called, and told me that you... That your anger issues are the result of a dark force that Mang created.
• Lord Shen: KAIRI! What are you doing out of your room?
• Kairi: Uncle, listen to me, whatever's controlling you, you need to fight it!
• Lord Shen: PFFT, get lost, you dumb bimbo! I have far bigger problems to worry about than by dealing with you.
• Kairi: See? There you are, doing it again! The Shen I knew wouldn't call his own niece a bimbo, or even a hairless ape! That proves there is something wrong with you!
• Lord Shen: (As he briefly flames) SILENCE!! (Kairi is knocked to the floor)
• Kairi:... (Softly sobs)
• Lord Shen: (Dark Shen briefly loses control over Shen as the Real Shen looks horribly at Kairi's sobbing)... Kairi?... I'm so sorry, I--(Dark Shen regains control again) OH, WHAT THE HELL AM I WORRIED FOR?!? If the UUniverses really ARE out to get you, who am I to protect you?
• Kairi: You're SUPPOSED to protect me! That's what family members do!
• Lord Shen: Yeah? Well, you're NOT my real niece! You're a human, and I'm a peacock! We were not meant to meet each other!
• Kairi: Shen, please, don't say that! Think of how much we've been through. If it wasn't for me, you would still be serving Lord Cobra! Can't you find it in your heart to forget that whatever unleashed that thing inside of you ever happened? I love you!
• Lord Shen:...(Dark Shen loses control again as the Real Shen sheds a tear)...(Dark Shen regains control) NO! YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME, YOU LITTLE S***!! As soon as those Shell Lodgers come back, I am going to rip them a new one for ditching me!
• Kairi: Shen, don't make things worse than it already is!
• Lord Shen: "WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM, YOU UNGRATFUL BRAT?!"
• Lord Shen grabs Kairi and tosses her back into the temple!
• Lord Shen: "AND STAY IN THERE?!"
• Lord Shen grumbles.
• Lord Shen: "I NEED TO HAVE A STROLL IN THE CITY!? TOO MUCH STUPID IN THE TEMPLE?!"
• Lord Shen walks away.
• Kairi: (While in her room, she sighs) Spyro, what will we do?

City

• Lord Shen: (Having an angry faces, and sees one person staring at him) What are YOU looking at?!? (The person looks away)... Hmmph!... (He looks all around him with his red eyes)...
• Citizen #1: Is that Lord Shen of the Shell Lodge Squad?
• Citizen #2: What's he doing here?
• Citizen #3: And why are his eyes red?
• Lord Shen: Like it's ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS!! (Slaps the coffee out of Citizen #2's hand)... (Chuckles) Being evil again is going to be fun! (Music plays as he does evil things, and he sings this song except for the last part)

Voltaire - When You're Evil (Lyrics)

• Lord Shen: (The people get angry for his misdeeds as he hides and chuckles menacingly as he starts flaming a bit)

Dragon Temple

• SpongeBob: (The van appears with Spyro at the front entrance)... Spyro, where is Lord Shen?
• Spyro: Uh... Yeah... You might wanna take a look at the news. (They go inside and turn on the TV)
• Scorch Scorchington: Good evening, I'm Scorch Scorchington. This just in, there have been several reports of terrible deeds in Dragon Realms New York City, all being done by none other than Shell Lodger General, Lord Shen. Several witnesses claim that they saw him showing signs of evil through red eyes. Whether or not this means he is being controlled by a dark force or a simple case of D-LOD meltdown remains to be seen. Until this problem is possibly solved by the other Shell Lodgers, citizens are advised to lock themselves in their homes and avoid any contact with the corrupt Lord Shen. Trust me, he's abit of an anti-social jerk at the moment.
• Sparx: AW, CRAP IN A HAT!! WE'RE TOO LATE!! WE SHOULD'VE PUT HIM INSIDE ONE OF THOSE BODY-SHAPED CAGES THAT MONKEY CREATED LIKE WE DID WHEN HE WAS THROWING A HISSY FIT FOR GARY!?
• Gary: Meow!
• Monkey: Oh, I'm sure with the increasing strength that often comes with anger, espeically THIS kind of anger, he would've broken free anyway.
• Celestia: It appears that Dark Shen has taking full control of Lord Shen. Now it's evolved to the point where he is doing villainous behavior. So far he's mainly just being a jerk, but I fear that would evolve into something worse.
• Spyro: So what do we do?
• ???: Only I have the key to stopping him, Spyro. (Kairi appears again)
• Kairi: I called out Uncle Shen on his problem when you warned me about his dark side taking over. If there's anyone who has the pure heart to cure him of this darkness, it's me.
• Spyro: Are you sure it's a good idea that we see each other with you being grounded and all?
• Kairi: I'm sure that Dark Shen was the one who said that, and not Lord Shen. Assumingly, I mean, there's a chance that Shen would've grounded me reguardless of Dark Shen or not, I mean, Shen was legitamently concerned about upsetting the Golums again. But even then, as normally an angry person he is, he wouldn't include yelling and insults into grounding me.
• Spyro:... And it's probably my fault for pushing his dark side more by our fight.
• Icky: Well, duh, you smacked him with your tail, it's no wonder he's having a s***-fit!
• Spyro: That was just to see if I could smack some sense into him. The best way to deal with an insanely-angry person is to slap some sense into them. As painful as it is. But I guess it didn't work. It obviously just makes him angrier. That clearly means I need a better tactic in dealing with insanely angry people.
• Kairi: Well, I'm sorry for suggesting we go to that Precipice that inevitably got him mad. I should've known better. I guess Shen, Dark Shen or not, was just looking out for my well-being. And we were being spoiled brats. If Shen did wanted to ground me and it wasn't at all because of Dark Shen, I should've understood that it was purely my own fault. Being adult means that I shouldn't take life for granted. Shen obviously expects me to behave like an adult... And that means not making stupid desidtions a child would do. Spyro, we were acting like children!
• Spyro: Your right. It's the mess with Rainbow Dash over the compromised plan against Blot again. And I'm sorry for making the situation worse with my scolding. (The two hug)
• Celestia: You two have nothing to apologize for. It's Dark Shen that we must blame for all this misfortune. He's the one which caused this uproar to begin with.
• Cynder: She's right, guys. And with Dark Shen wreaking havoc in the City, I think we must act fast!
• ???: Well, then you'll need all the help you can get. (Boy Sora, Goofy, Donald, and Riku appear)
• Icky: Oh, of course they have to be here. They're on the poster, for God's sake!
• Boy Sora: We heard about Shen's little inferno problem.
• Donald: YEAH! I OUGHTTA GIVE THAT LUMMOX A CLOCK IN THE JAW FOR HIS FOUL WORDS TO KAIRI!! BRING HIM ON!!
• Goofy: Now, hold on, Donald, you know he couldn't help it since Dark Shen was controlling him.
• Riku: You'll need us because we know that Dark Shen is part-Heartless.
• Savio: Really?
• Boy Sora: Yeah. I mean, Heartless are basically the Villain League's most powerful army forces that not only come in many forms, but also can be altered out and molded into powerful entities. Dark Shen couldn't be created by the Villain League in any other way. Cobra had hoped that this form would be perfect for Shen, only for it to backfire.
• Riku: So when we heard that Dark Shen had awoken, we thought you could need some help from people who have actually fought Heartless all our lives.
• Kairi:... Well, gee, I wasn't expecting you guys to show up.
• Boy Sora: Well, you did need to know SOMETHING about Dark Shen.
• Kairi: Actually... It makes PERFECT sense. We know that Heartless have one true weakness: Pure love.
• Icky: Or a good can of Keyblade whoopass, if you catch my drift.
• Riku: Well, here's the thing, Keyblades can only do so much to Dark Shen. The power it bestows is unlike any we've dealt with. Dark Shen's main weapon is a fire themed flaming spear. His most devastating power however is his ability to absorb fire and use it against it's opponents. It could easily absorb a blast from one of Shen's cannons.
• Boy Sora: Exactly! Fire a cannonball at him, and he absorbs it and only fires a beam of firework incineration at you.
• Donald: Very bloody, dudes!
• Icky: "Then we will NOT bring those things here! Problem solved."
• Shenzi: Then how DO we bring this Dark Shen down? And how is Kairi gonna be able to get the chance to use her heart to get Dark Shen torn out of his body?
• Spyro: We'll do it. All we need is a plan.

Chapter 4: The Unleashing of Dark Shen

City.

• Lord Shen was walking down the street, his tail turned into complete flames and his white robe noticingly greyer and the grey parts turned into an almost red color.
• Lord Shen: "Ahhh.... I knew a lovely stroll was JUST what I needed. And I have an entire city to myself. Magnifisent."
• Suddenly, the Millaterry lead by General Horns and Sargent Claw appeared with guns don!
• General Horns: "Alright Shen. We're here cause something is very wrong with you. (Sees the firy tail and darker robe colors) Well, even more then reported. We're here to keep you secured in a millaterry base until the Lougers pick you up. Be warned that we're not afraid to use force on you, given your track record as a villain."
• Lord Shen: "Seriously? Even the Dragon Realms New York Millaterry, (Dark voice) CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME A PIECE OF MIND TO MYSELF!? UGH, SO SICKENING!? I AM MERELY TRYING TO VENT ANGER CAUSE OF MY STUPID HAIRLESS APE OF A NIECE KAIRI PISSED OF THE GOLUMS OF THE PRESEVRE AND RISKED A NEW ATTACK!? THEN THE REST OF THE UNGRATEFUL SHELL LOUGE SQUAD SCOLDED ME FOR GROUNDING HER LIKE A GOOD PARENT/RELITIVE/GUARDIAN SHOULD!? IT'S EMBARRISINGLY BLASHFOMUS?!"
• Sargent Claw: "Uncle, I don't think the peacock's in his own mind. I don't even think he's within realms of normality anymore. I mean, since when does he have a firy peacock tail?"
• General Horns: "I already saw that. (To Shen again) I giving you one last chance, Peacock. These guns are loaded with powerful tranq darts powerful enough to knock out a giant cyclops. How's about you let us take you somewhere where you can vent your issues WITHOUT scaring and pissing off people?"
• Lord Shen: "OH, BUGGER OFF, BROWN COW?! I DON'T NEED THIS!?"
• Lord Shen turns around and leaves.
• General Horns: "First off, I'm a Buffalo, by the way, and secondly, don't say you weren't warned! Open fire?!"
• Lord Shen: (The forces fired their guns, and Lord Shen is able to put up a flame shield with his tail and block out the darts)
• General Horns: WHAT?!?
• Lord Shen: (Cackles) I must remind you that I am capable of handling ANYTHING that is thrown at me. Even things as puny as tranquilizer darts!
• General Horns: Alright, then! I didn't wanna have to use this, but let's see how you fare out with our tanks! (They get some tanks out) FIRE AT WILL!! (They fire their tanks at Shen, but he just absorbs them up, and uses the power in a firework beam that incinerates all the tanks) HOLY MACARONI!!! WHAT THE F*** ****** ***** ************ *** ****** ********** ****** WAS THAT?!?
• Sgt. Claw: He obviously has been gained fire powers and-
• General Horns: That was rhetorical, I know what I saw!
• Lord Shen: Let's do a fire dance, you little meatbags! (Throws flaming volleys at the army as anything they strike burns. One soldier is cartoonishly turned into ash after getting struck by a fire volley)
• General Horns: OKAY, I FOR ONE AM NOT GOING TO BE TURNED INTO WATER BUFFALO WINGS!! RETREAT!!! (The army retreats from the area)
• Lord Shen: That's right, run! RUN LIKE THE PUSSIES YOU ARE!! (Cackles as he spins flames across the entire area)

Senator Tricorn's Office

• Senator Tricorn: So you mean to tell me that Lord Shen is literally FLAMING, AND KICKED YOUR ASSES?!?
• General Horns: It's true, your grace! He rebounded anything that we threw at him!
• Senator Tricorn: (Growls) Must things go south right now? YOU GUYS CAN'T EVEN DO ONE THING RIGHT!!!
• General Horns: Give us some credit, your grace, there was nothing we could do!
• Senator Tricorn: Well, you're at least lucky that I'm not firing you because you're legacy has been good before hand. If those Shell Lodgers don't get here and fix the issue within the next 5 minutes, I'LL KILL SHEN MYSELF!!
• General Horns: Whoa, whoa, whoa, your grace, come on, that's Lord Shen you're talking about. Besides, you've been suspended after your incident in Nickelodeon Texas, remember?
• Senator Tricorn: I HAVE NO CHOICE, FOOL!! IF THE LODGERS CAN'T STOP HIM, THEN WHO WILL?!? My answer is that it shall be ME who puts that fiery demon to rest!
• Jamaica: Your grace, you don't know what you're risking! The Lodgers AND the High Council will not be pleased with this decision of yours.
• Senator Tricorn: Stay out of this, Jamaica! This is none of your concern!
• Jamaica:"This IS my concern, Tri-corn! Espeically in due to the fact that your not only risking a further incresie of your current suspendtion, but your life!? Lord Shen as what is happening to him will litterally kill you!"
• General Horns: "It's true! One of my men are lucky cartoon magic protected him and he ended up getting the comical ash treatment! Attacks like what we've seen would normally KILL a person!"
• Senator Tri-corn: "If you expect me to just sit down and stay out of the way and let that firy freak destroy my city, THEN YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY?!"
• Jamaica: "Senator please, for once in your life, have some faith in the lougers!"
• General Horns: "Besides, any attempt to go after the situation when your not welcome during suspendion will declare you a renigade, and it would make you worthy of Prison 42! And there are some villains you punished with that Prosicution Brain-Pod that would LOVE to get even with you for giving them unfair life sentences!"
• Jamaica: "Please, Tri-Corn. (Grabs Tri-Corn's hand) Think about us."
• Tri-Corn looks confusingly, as does Horns.
• Tri-Corn: ".... Why are you holding me like a star-sworn lover?"
• Jamaica realises what she was doing and let's go!
• Jamaica: "Uh, I mean, think about, your family. Your daughters, your niece, your adobted mother, and think about your loved ones, like your navy friends. Cyclona, for one. She's still desistated about not protecting you. And Ayres, the Tri-Corn-Katraz head warden? She may be a tough rodent, but she CAN be and WOULD be emotionally devistated if anything happened to you."
• Senator Tri-Corn: "GAH, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT?! I GET IT?! I'll, back off..... For now."
• General Horns: Good choice, your grace. Just let the Lodgers handle this. I'm sure they'll get through with this in time.
• Senator Tricorn: Well, they did anchor my statue in place after it was starting to fall apart after all these battles they've been on...despite almost tipping it over.

Times Square

• Lord Shen: (Cackles as he walks down the street much darker than ever as flames spread across the area, causing panic and chaos) I LOVE BEING EVIL!!
• ???: Oh, I sincerely doubt that! (The Shell Lodgers, Kairi, Celestia, Luna, Boy Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Riku appeared)
• Lord Shen: KAIRI?!? WHY ARE YOU NOT IN THE TEMPLE?!? AND WHY ARE YOU WITH SPYRO?!?
• Kairi: Uncle Shen, this thing controlling your mind is going to end here and now! And nothing is going to stop us from bringing back the Shen that I love!
• Lord Shen: That Shen is gone for good this time, you foolish child! There is only one Shen now, and that is... (Completely turns into the True Dark Shen) DARK SHEN! (Fires flaming volleys at the heroes as they dodge)
• Icky: WHOA! HIS BLADES ARE NOW FLAMES?!?
• Boy Sora: Well, duh, he's flaming.
• Dark Shen: And Cynder, you've gotten shorter than the last time we met! Did something change you emotionally, or something?
• Cynder: Dark Shen, we all know how this ends. Leave the good people of New York City out of this, and let's settle this all by ourselves.
• Dark Shen: As you wish! (He surrounds the roads of Times Square with flaming walls as he cackles menacingly) YOUR MOVE, SHELL LOSERS!!
• Boy Sora: Well, at least we all know that you're part Heartless, so that makes you vulnerable to what we know is a Heartless' greatest weakness.
• Dark Shen: HAH! I'm not like any other Heartless! I am unstoppable!
• Cynder: I stopped you once, and I can do it again!
• Dark Shen: Oh, I sincerely doubt that now, considering that your not like the Cynder I knew anymore.
• Donald: Let's get him!
• As the heroes charge, Dark Shen blasted the heroes away effertlessly!
• Icky: "OW, MY ASS?!"
• Cynder: "AGGGH!? How, did you get so powerful so quickly?!"
• Dark Shen: "You can thank the millaterry and their tanks for pathicly trying to stop me prior back."
• Cynder: "UGH!? THOSE IDIOTS?!"
• Dark Shen: "Ordenarly, I wouldn't tolerate idiots, but those fools at least were a big help."
• Sam: "I think it's about time you cool down!"
• Sam and Max bring out fire exstingishers!
• Dark Shen: "HA!? Just because I am fire theme, that doesn't mean fire exstingishers are gonna- (He is sprayed by them, and his flames are put out) AARGGGHHH!!... Ok.... Now I'm annoyed. (His flames flare up again)"
• Max: Well, it was worth a shot.
• Dark Shen: All you did was take away the power I gained from all those tanks! I am still powerful enough to destroy you! (He bursts in fire as he is literally set ablaze as he runs towards the heroes)
• Boy Sora: (He smacks Dark Shen with his Keyblade before he is able to burn Kairi) STAY AWAY FROM KAIRI!!
• Dark Shen: Hmmph, a Keyblade master! A worthy challenge. (Takes out his flaming fire-themed spear) Let's settle this together, light vs. dark!
• Goofy: Don't worry, Sora, we'll help you get through this- (They are cartoonishly burned to ash).... Gawrsh.
• Donald: I HATE it when that happens.
• Dark Shen: When I say together, I MEAN JUST THE TWO OF US!! Let's see if that Keyblade can do better then the entirity of idiots here?!
• Boy Sora: If that's what you want, then fine! (Dark Shen casts a flame wall across the both of them)
• Kairi: SORA, NO!!
• Donald: Oh, how wonderful!
• Skipper: WE GOTTA GET IN THERE!! (He tries to get in, but Private and Kowalski stop him)
• Private: Skipper, we can't!
• Kowalski: That fire wall is just too intense for us to reach them!
• Private: It's up to Sora now.
• Skipper: ARE YOU KIDDING?!? HOW CAN HE TAKE THAT BASTARDIZED VERSION OF SHEN HEAD-ON BY HIMSELF?!?
• Kairi: I have faith in him, Skipper.
• Skipper: Oh, sure, you're saying that because he's your boyfriend.
• Kairi: (Gets angry at him)
• Skipper: Okay, sorry I said that.
• Icky: "Hey, as least our asses won't get burned from this."

Chapter 5: Light vs. Dark

Inside Flame Barrier

• Dark Shen: Alright, boy! Make your move! (Intensifies in flames)
• Boy Sora charged, but Dark Shen smacked Boy Sora away!
• Dark Shen: "BAH!? Pathic! You dare call yourself a Keyblade master!? You took on some of the most infamous Disney villains and one or two Final Fantasy villains of any generation, but you can't beat up a Gary Oldman sounding peacock!? Sad, really."
• Boy Sora: "Shen, snap out of it! Your not being yourself!"
• Dark Shen: "I AM BEING MYSELF!?"
• Dark Shen aimed to stab Boy Sora in the chest!
• Boy Sora: (He back-flips out of the way, and jumps off a wall lunging towards Dark Shen, who is able to smack him to the ground as Sora got back up on his feet)
• Dark Shen: (Chuckles) Good, but not good enough! (Intensifies in flames)
• Boy Sora:... (Gulps)... Okay, Sora, you can do this! (They lunge after each other as their blades clash)
• Dark Shen: (Backs off as he throws flame volleys at Sora)
• Boy Sora: BLIZZARD! (Summons a Blizzard spell to clear out the fire volleys)
• Dark Shen: Amateur!
• Boy Sora: Come on, Shen, let's just talk this out non-violently. Besides, it'll take more fire than THAT to take me down!
• Dark Shen: That's the plan! (Summons powerful flames towards Sora)
• Boy Sora:... I should really keep my mouth shut. (Does gymnastic flips to avoid the fire attacks, jumping across the many things in the environment)... THUNDAGA! (Lightning flashes occur in the sky, and a lightning bolt comes straight towards Dark Shen)
• Dark Shen: What in the name of- (The lightning bolt bursts on impact)
• Boy Sora:... Ouch! That'll be red on Real Shen's face when this is all over.
• Dark Shen: (He is still standing) HAH! It's gonna take more than THAT to stop the likes of ME! (Summons a powerful fire dragon which roars at Sora) ATTACK! (The fire dragon attacks as Boy Sora jumps off the ledge he's standing on, causing the creature to miss!)
• Boy Sora: BLIZZAGA! (Summons an ice mine, and the fire dragon actually gets a shocked face and hits the ice mine, causing it to explode)
• Dark Shen:... I have to say, I am impressed. You're surprisingly tough for a stupid kid.
• Boy Sora: "I'm not a stupid kid! I'm the hero of Kingdom Hearts!"
• Dark Shen: "HA!? Some hero?! You inadvertingly caused the trouble to begin with, you brat!"
• Boy Sora: Hey, I was just beginning my steps in becoming a hero, how was I to know that the black figure was a bad guy? Riku and Kairi sure as hell couldn't.
• Dark Shen: Well, if I was smart, I would know that something was up the second I saw that hooded figure.
• Boy Sora: Oh, please, I was quite curious at the time, and I thought that figure had things that could help answer what my visions were talking about. Wouldn't YOU be curious at exploring strange things, good or evil, when they showed up while having visions?
• Dark Shen: Whatever! Let's just fight! (They clash their blades again)
• Boy Sora: (Dodges Dark Shen's fiery blade swing) Well, I know I can't use fire against him.
• Dark Shen: HOLD STILL, AND LET ME DESTROY YOU!! (Throws fiery volleys at Sora again)
• Bpy Sora: (Jumps across the area) WHOA! (Jumps on some walls again, and Dark Shen decides to do the same as whatever screens he touch show his face on them cackling) Okay, this is just getting more dramatic!

Outside Barrier

• Kairi:... Okay, NOW I'm starting to have my doubts if he'll make it or not.
• Spyro: He will. If he's a good friend...
• Icky: And more than that if you know what I'm saying! (Softly chuckles)
• Spyro: Then I'm sure he'll do it.
• Riku: Well, I sure hope he makes it. He's pretty much the only one left that basically stands by me while Kairi is living with you guys.
• Donald: (He and Goofy are still ash) And that you basically still don't have some other friends since... You know, that Vanessa chick had a changed fate.
• Riku: "Please do not talk about that nut kicking bitch. And personally, I'm glad she's NOT here and instead is shark-bait!?"
• Po: Yeah, she wouldn't've make a good girlfriend anyway. She was rather rough on people.

Inside Barrier

• Boy Sora: BLIZZARD! (Creates a snowy shield that stops a fiery volley from striking him)
• Dark Shen: (Fires a giant fireball)
• Boy Sora: FIRAGA! (Summons a fireball which takes out the other one by colliding with it)
• Dark Shen: Oh, I thought you said you couldn't use fire! That makes me stronger, you know.
• Boy Sora: Yes, but not when it's used to rebound attacks! (Dodges Dark Shen's flame volleys again) THUNDER! (A lightning bolt is shot straight at Dark Shen from the sky)
• Dark Shen: D'OH! (Strikes a wall)
• Boy Sora: Heal! (Heals himself)
• Dark Shen: (Recovers) Alright, that tears it, you foolish child! (Summons a large wave of flame as it flows right after Sora)
• Boy Sora: Uh-oh! BLIZZARD!! (Summons a powerful wave of snow that clears out the wave of fire)
• Dark Shen: CURSES!!
• Boy Sora: Where is this going to go, Shen? Are you really willing to let down the people who helped you out of your problems?
• Dark Shen: A VILLAIN HAS NO FRIENDS!! (Fires fire volleys that Sora dodges, and then Dark Shen takes out firey blades, and jumps down towards Sora, and Sora constantly dodges the attacks, and Shen finally gets a strike on Sora's face as it gets burnt)
• Boy Sora:...OW!!
• Dark Shen: Oh, you think THAT hurts? Try THIS! (Fires more fire volleys as Sora as he uses his Keyblade to rebound some of them)
• Boy Sora: (Dark Shen takes out his fire spear as he tries to slash at Sora with it, but he constantly dodges the attacks. The two then end up dueling with their blades, and their duel takes them up the walls, and on the top of the One Times Square building)
• Sandy: THERE THEY ARE!! ON THE TOP OF ONE TIMES SQUARE!!
• Icky: Well, I hope they don't break any of those awesomely-big TV screens up there, or it's gonna be coming out of our charity.
• A sound of glass and electronics breaking is heard.
• Icky: ".... JUST WHEN I SAID IT!?"
• Dark Shen: HA-HA!! I JUST DESTROYED ONE OF THE ASTROVISION SCREENS!!
• Boy Sora: SHEN, ARE YOU CRAZY?!? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IT COST FOR THOSE UUNIVERSAL NEW YORK SETTLERS TO MAKE THAT THING?!?
• Dark Shen: Of course, that's why I broke it! And just to make a bigger dent in the government's wallets... (He uses his fire abilities to destroy the other screen as the Lodgers avoid all the glass that flies everywhere)
• Boy Sora: Okay, Shen, your corrupt side is just messed up.
• Dark Shen: What? You never destroyed something and watched the commotion that follows? It's fun!
• Boy Sora: In a VIDEO GAME, it is!
• Dark Shen: Oh, what do you know? You're a kid!
• Boy Sora: I AM NOT A KID!! I AM ALMOST AS OLD AS KAIRI!! 22 YEARS OLD!!
• Dark Shen: That's still pretty young in my book! (Throws more volleys at Sora as he loses his balance in the process as he falls off the building)
• Kairi/Riku: (Seeing this) SORA!!
• Dark Shen: "HA! I WIN! Now to sit back and listen for the sound of a body thud."
• Boy Sora: AEROGA! (He casts a swirling wind spell that briefly stops him in place before he hits the ground)
• Dark Shen:... WHAT?!? AAHHGGHH!! (Jumps down to the ground as a fiery impact burst occurred when he landed) ALRIGHT, THAT DOES IT, YOU FOOLISH CHILD!! (Summons more fire dragons at him) ATTACK!!
• Boy Sora: WHOA, THAT'S A LOT OF DRAGONS!!! (The dragons charged at him) BLIZZAGA! (Casts another ice mine, puts more energy into it with his Keyblade, and kicks it towards the dragons, and the result is a large icy explosion that surrounds the entire area with snow, putting out the surrounding flame barriers in the process)
• Dark Shen: (His flame is put out as he gets up weakened)... I... Will not be defeated... That easily... Boy!
• Boy Sora: Oh, we're surrounded by cold, Shen. Your flames are not capable of flaring up anymore. Which gives ME the upper hand! THUNDAGA! (The clouds cast a powerful lightning bolt straight toward Shen)
• Dark Shen: Holy fu- (He gets struck, and knocked out unconscious)...
• Boy Sora:... Well, I may not be a Keyblade Master, but I truly am a master with the Keyblade.
• Kairi: SORA! YOU'RE OKAY!! (Hugs him)
• Bill: And WOW, did you give a good air conditioning here this close to summer!
• Riku: Did you beat Dark Shen?
• Boy Sora: Did I ever. (He shows them Dark Shen as he was unconscious)...
• Phil: So... What do we do now?
• Kairi: Well, we'll need to find a way for me to snap him out of his dark nature.
• Girl Sora: Like what?
• Kairi: Oh, I have a plan...

Chapter 6: The Power of Love

Later...

• Dark Shen came through.
• Dark Shen: "Oh.... Good grief.... Did I party too hard?"
• ???: If by 'party', you mean basically annihilated part of New York City... (The Shell Lodgers, Sora, Riku, who was talking, Kairi, Celestia, and Luna appeared)... Then yes, in a psycho-maniac's terms.
• Dark Shen: YOU?!? WHERE AM I?!? (He sees that he is tied up to a chair) KINDLY UNDO THESE TIES IMMEDIATELY!!
• Kairi: We will, Uncle Shen. Just as soon as the darkness inside of you has been purged.
• Dark Shen: I TOLD YOU THAT SHEN IS NO MORE!! NOW THERE IS-
• Squidward: Shaddap! (Slaps Dark Shen)
• Dark Shen: YOU FOOL!! YOU DARE LAY YOUR SUCKERS ON ME?!? WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, I'LL RIP YOU IN HALF!!!
• Boy Sora: Are you sure your heart can cure someone THIS insane, Kairi?
• Kairi: If it can rescue you from being forever a Heartless, then it can do the same to Shen.
• Dark Shen: YOU?!? CURE ME?!? HAH! We're not really related! We're different creatures!! NOBODY GIVES A FLYING FLAME ABOUT YOU, YOU ROTTEN LITTLE TROUBLE-MAKER!!!
• Kairi: But we all give a flying flame about you, Uncle. Especially me. If you can't fight the darkness controlling you, then it's up to me.
• Dark Shen: Oh, pfft, what are you gonna do, scold me to death? Are you gonna cry for me? Go ahead and cry like a big baby, you little orphan brat! I love to see the tears of those who suffer my wrath- (Kairi hugs him)...
• Kairi:... I'm so sorry for everything, Uncle Shen.
• Dark Shen:... (His red eyes suddenly turn orange and they shed tears) ALL THIS... LOVE... NEED... HATRED!! NOOOOO!!! NOOOO- (A large red flame suddenly bursts out of Lord Shen as screams were heard, and Dark Shen's red eyes were seen inside the flame as his screams turned into ominous moaning as the flames disappeared, leaving Lord Shen to embrace Kairi as soon as Riku untied him)...
• Lord Shen:... And I'm sorry...for how I treated you.... But your still grounded from Spyro for tresspassing in that forbidden area AND risking a new Golum attack!?
• Kairi: "(Sigh)... I guess it's safe to assume that all Dark Shen did was made you insulty and yelly about grounding me, huh?"
• Lord Shen: "By all means, Kairi, I won't be agressive like THAT, but I'm still gonna be like a paretnal figure and disaplene you! You still commited an act of assult against those Golums! Just because your not a child anymore, doesn't give you the right to CONTINUE to act like one! Adulthood requires respondsability and precautions to one's own life, Kairi! And going into forbidden areas with reckless abandon and assulting violent but misunderstood creatures is irrespondsable and disvaluing your own life!"
• Spongebob: "Shen, we're sorry we didn't seen this sooner."
• Icky: "Ya wanna know what's REALLY freaking odd? We never had this problem before. Up until AFTER we resolved Discord's Magic Flu. Ya don't think that the Magic Flu was able to sneak a fast on ya before it got removed for good, did ya? In fact, based on what Black Kat told us, Discord was the picture of perfect health and that Magic Flu just, came out of nowhere!"
• Celestia: ".... Your right.... The Magic Flu, must've been casted on, and was made that removing the Magic Flu would curse Shen to have Dark Shen reawaken by making him get angry at even the simplest of inempt moments. Whoever did this, is a truely diabolical madman, who casted an evil plan worthy of Darkspawn!"
• Silence.
• Boss Wolf: ".... Uh-oh.... Ya don't think, this really WAS the work of the Architect, do ya?"
• Shifu: "If it is, then I feel like a fool questioning his involvement. But at the same time, we can't tecnecally prove it. Neither of us with a sensing ability had sensed his presence or that of an assusiates', like assumingly the mysterious "Old Snake" we heard of in Kratos. For all we know, Discord must've, suddenly randomly caught the sickness dispite being healthy cause Draconquui anomany is unexplainably random."
• Spongebob: "Well, whoever truely is respondsable for this, they would be wise to reconsider their evil plans, because the Shell Louge Squad are not people any villain wants to mess with."

Epilogue

Skullian Prime.

• The Architect was sitting disapointed. He was calm about it, but his face did little to mask his frusttractions.
• Architect: ".... I have truely indeed, underestimated them.... Then in that case, Dark Shen is but a mere test of their abilities. Now, it is time I get serious with those fools. Titan?"
• Titan appeared on the TV screen.
• Titan: "Let me guess: Dark Shen's a bust, wasn't he?"
• Architect: "Disheartingly so. But then again, it only shows that I clearly need to step up my game. I admire the misfits for being the most worthiest challnage I've met since Master Aonos or the Gray Wardens, but for my true greater plans to survive, I need to finally come on top of those misfits! Keep track of the latest villain activity of BOTH the Villain Teams AND the independent villains of BOTH universes and inform me of any that has even a slight ability to harm those lougers! If those misfits want to test me, it shall be they who will get shcooled!"
• Titan: "Ya sure boss? You're just luckly they aren't after ya cause of your careful casting of the Magic Flu. Anymore stunts and both our asses will be at risk here!"
• Architect: "I understand thy petty concerns, but my plan to eradicate heroisum needs drastic measures! I want you to put your mafia connections to good use for me, and in return, I'll enable you with even more Darkspawn Artifacts, even some I considered, too valuable to my kind to part with."
• Titan: ".... Well, Villain Activity, excluding Shenny boy, is still at a all time low, but I'll see who my contacts in both universes can pick up."
• Architect: "That's what I respect about you, Titan. The mere promise of gifts, wins you over."
• Titan: "What can I say? Scratch my back, I scratch yours."
• The two began to laugh, as the scenery fades and only leaves their eyes glowing red.

Fin?
