Ends and Beginnings

I travelled with Cypher, Sparks, Liliana, The Hot Shot, Lyzen, and Ghost to the Division headquarters. The New Champions had gotten a distress call from Division, which was under attack by Algorithm and his robot horde. The robots were of little challenge for all of us, with only Algorithm the actual threat. Ghost made short work of him with her super-strength and flying charges, which disappointed me as I hoped to use my new Spirit fist maneuver on him. There were many dead among the Division personnel and few survivors, also a great pity. It was the end of Division, but the beginning of something new- as Cypher revealed that this base provided an entrance to a "cyberplane", which could be used to launch a counterattack against Dr. Destroyer.
 
Unfortunately, it was the end of my journey in America as I informed the New Champions that I need to return to my homeland in order to carry out my duty to repair the spirit world. Ghost kindly offered to meet me there when needed, which I agreed to- as she was the only one of the heroes who spoke Chinese. The others on the team also had various missions and responsibilities to take care of, which was fine with me. I met up with Luo Jian, we packed for the journey, and made sure that we left nothing behind. We made sure to travel to China as incognito as possible, using the contacts I made as an agent of the ministry of state security. This sets up journal entries #11-13 and #16.
 
My entry into the ancestral realm was also an end, the end of my adventuring on the mortal realm. I had ascended into the spirit realm, assuming a new form. Gone were the Yengtao armor, the communicator, and the mundane martial arts. Now, I was down to the traditional martial artist uniform combined with that of a Yengtao monk. It seems that I was permanently stuck in my empowered form, complete with the striking green eyes and red hair. I realized I now possessed the secrets of the Yengtao masters: the ability to send foes flying great distances with a Catapulting Blow, a powerful Eagle Claw that could grab and crush foes with the force of Sandcrab or Ghost, the dreadded Dim Mak to drain an enemy's life force, the Dragon Fist to penetrate even the toughest of armor or weapons, the ability to stun a foe otherwise immune to pain or in armor with a pressure point strike, the Thunder Kick[/b] to strike enemies even after running or leap great distances, the ability to heal myself and my allies with my own Ch'i, and finally the Quivering Palm , capable to shattering barriers, foes, and armors even otherwise resistant to armor-piercing artillery.
 
As drastic a transformation I went through, it did not compare to that of Ghost. Ghost was seemingly returned to human form, that of a beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed young American woman. She told me that her new name was "Hope," or perhaps it was actually her old name. Her abilities seemed the same, but there was a confidence, humanity, and sense of purpose that Ghost lacked. We spoke briefly, but we understand that time was of the essence if we wished to stop Dr. Destroyer and carry out our mission to free his victims. The time of the old Dragon Lady and Ghost seems to have ended, but it is now the beginning of Hope and a new Dragon Lady- this time the spirit guardians of the ancestral realm. And hopefully, this will also mean the end of Dr. Destroyer as well.
