Preparations, part 1
Once Captain Black had been changed back to a human and sent on his way with an admonishment against experimenting with magic beyond his knowledge, Uncle immediately got to work. While at first this was understandable and tolerated, his intensity swiftly drew the concern of his family. "Uncle, you need to slow down," Jackie cautioned worriedly as Uncle raced back and forth through the library with stacks of books and bags of various comestibles.
"Yeah!" Jade agreed. "You need to chill-" She quickly found her mouth blocked by three warning hooves.
"If I chill, demons will be dancing upon all our graves!" Uncle insisted angrily. "I must research the proper chi spells to seal the seven portals! All required ingredients must be on hand at all times!"
"At least let us help!" Sweetie Belle complained. "All of us!"
However, her timing couldn't have been worse as Uncle spun on them all. "What do you all know of magic of this caliber? I studied under Chi Master Fong for fifteen years!"
"And you've been training us for ten!" Scootaloo insisted. "We can help!"
Uncle blinked in surprise, then rubbed his forehead. "...apologies," he murmured softly. "So much happening all at once, the world in such danger..."
"You felt you had to do it all yourself," Jackie offered comfortingly. "We understand."
"It runs in the family," Jade added teasingly.
"We can all help!" Apple Bloom offered. "Sweetie, Scoots, and ah know yer filing system. Jade's really energetic. And Tohru and Uncle Jackie can do the heavy lifting!"
Uncle sighed softly. "I do not think that will be enough," he muttered. "The fight with Daolong Wong...I am plainly not cut out for this world where magic is the norm, and not closely guarded secrets. I cannot face it alone in battle. The time has come...for me to train an apprentice of my own."
Sweetie Belle frowned as those words left Uncle's mouth. She knew why Uncle was so reticent about training an apprentice, to the point he'd never even officially declared the three of them his apprentices. Training him had been the last thing Chi Master Fong had done before his untimely demise at the hands of a Dark Wizard...who, Uncle did not know. Uncle blamed himself for his Master's death, since he had not been there to help primarily because he had gone to gather the ingredients for the last spell he needed to perfect to achieve Mastery. To Uncle, taking on an apprentice was tantamount to admitting he was done for as a Chi Wizard...that it was time to pass the torch.
Uncle, however, was apparently doing his best to take it in stride. "My apprentice must have sound judgement," he began, listing off qualifiers for the job, "whom I can trust with my chi knowledge."
"Me me me me me!" Jade offered eagerly. "I'll put some focus in your hocus!"
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo all exchanged glances. Considering Jade's reason for being in America in this 'new magic world' was for Uncle to teach her to control her magic, the outcome was almost a given...and likely to be highly amusing to observe, seeing Uncle trying to keep Jade under control.
"Tohru," Uncle declared firmly, causing everyone to gasp in shock. "You have ample reserves of chi that you barely use. With training and discipline, you can become a great Chi Wizard...and in the meantime, it will do you no harm should I need to draw on your strength to power some of my spells when my own strength wanes."
Tohru blinked several times, then bowed his head. "I will not fail you, Sensei," he promised.
"Uh...Uncle?" Sweetie Belle asked carefully. "Are you sure-"
"If this is about Jade's eagerness, you think I have it in me to dedicate another ten years to taming the wild spirit of a child with more magic in her than good sense?" Uncle interrupted pointedly.
"Hey!" Jade complained irritably.
"As entertaining as such things might have been to watch, world is in peril!" Uncle continued. "I do not have time for that! One more thing!" He crossed his arms with a wide smirk. "I think it's my turn to be entertained."
"Huh?" Scootaloo asked worriedly.
"Between the three of you, you have more magic than I," Uncle explained. "One more thing, I have indeed trained you three for a decade. One more thing, your magic is by nature antithetical to demons, especially as you have a special talent for demon hunting that stabilizes your magic auras. As such, between the three of you, I am confident in declaring you one competent Chi Wizard." Stepping beside Jade, he pushed her towards the fillies. "So training her is your job. At least you three should be able to keep up with her."
While Uncle plainly thought this was a brilliant idea, and Jade was simply overjoyed to be getting formal training in magic no matter where it was coming from, Jackie was busy having nightmare images of the four children running amok as 'magic training' turned into a worse disaster for the world than Demon Sorcerers running amok...and for some reason, these nightmare images included tree sap everywhere. "Bad day..." he muttered, burying his face in his hand.
Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Viper standing behind him with a soft smile. "It won't be as bad as you think," she offered gently. "Those girls take their magic seriously, and they definitely don't want to disappoint Uncle. They'll keep the little hellion in check. And I'll keep an eye out, too."
Jackie sighed, feeling somewhat relieved. While he still didn't entirely trust Viper or consider a thief - former or otherwise - a good role model for the girls, he did respect her skills. "Thank you, Viper," he offered warmly.
"Come on," she beckoned, tugging him upstairs. "You should get whatever rest you can before you go toe to toe with another demon, and I know just the thing to help relax you..."
Blinking in confusion, Jackie followed her up the stairs to the third floor...much to the amusement of Jade and the fillies.

bow chi-ca wow wow
Yeah, I saw that coming, because it went the same way in the series.
The other part, not so much.
done before his unimely demise at the hands
1. Untimely.
The CMC being counted as one full trained Chi Wizard. You know what they say, all good things come in threes. Much like Jackie going to floor three of the shop.
Seems the CMC are gonna have to polish Jade to get her skills up to snuff.
The end.... giggety
get your mind out of the gutter! Viper knows the ways of a masseuse
I will be interesting to see what will hapen if the cmc train jade and I can only what the next day will bemail like
Oh God, the 4 horses of the Ponyocalypse! The horror, the horror! Uncle, a nickel's worth of free advice. Review and upgrade your insurance coverage I remember several of The Hollows books by Kim Harrison, they had as much trouble with their insurance company as they did with almost any other bad guy.
Well, with any luck, this will avoid the mess with the duplication spell... though luck's fickle...
The CMCs have an apprentice ?! Discord have mercy on us!
7995363 I'm very sorry, i had to put this story on the back-burner and Un Fav it, this story is getting updated so frequently that i can't give it the attention it deserves and i can't bear to see my fav bar get so many unread chapters, i might start reading again.
8000802
Quite alright.
You could create a folder titled "Updating too Fast" and put it in there. Created folders don't affect the 'unread chapters' on the user toolbar.
Magical tree sap everywhere!
............And this is how the world ends.(sorry, I had to say that. The CMC were formerly known for their disasters, and attempted disasters, and there are way too many examples to reference to, including Fan Fiction and Canon)
Viper is just going to give Jackie a regular non-sensual massage. I don't know why everyone is getting sooo worked up about it.
8000804 8000802
Unless you tell it to 'Track Unread' in the folder's options.
Ohhh Viper. Never stop trying to tame your wild Jackie!! >=)
Ride your Jackie Viper and put him away wet
Well this should be fun for the whole family!
And this is the day Jackie lost his virginity.
8001171
Come on Jackie doesn't have the balls...atleast at this point in time.....To do that.
8001268 Maybe Dark Jackie does...
Waiting to see what happen with Dark Jade, when she try magic and put "the tattoo"
Uncle, that's... Uncle, you really shouldn't... This is going to... Uncle... Oh, uncle.
And did "Viper" ever say her real name? It seems weird to keep calling her that, even if it does describe her rather well. Although I suppose the ponies have names like that... And I have no idea what El Toro Fuerte's real name is.
Eh. Not the weirdest thing in this story.
8001456 I dunno... that whole thing may get avoided due to the Crusader's ability to sense dark chi.
Also, the entire reason Jade did it was because she felt like she was being sidelined and ignored. With the girls teaching her magic, that episode in it's entirety may just not happen.
Then again, knowing Tatusrou... he may just let it happen so the girls could come up with the idea of instilling good chi spells in temporary tattoos.
8000755
Discord will laughing his flank off (literally) at the chaos those four come up with.

He's saying he doesn't like seeing his "Unread Chapters" counter keep going up, so he had to shift this story off active tracking until he could spare it the attention he feels it deserves.
8001546 I can think of maybe Jade trying to make the tattoo as something similar to a cutie mark... Dark Jade was one of the best thing that I loved in the anime.
8002640 Also a good point. She may want to be like her cousins, and thinks a magical tattoo, which is basically what a Cutie-Mark amounts to, will help her.
8001737 Basically, if i had this as Fav, i would have 200+ more counter
I hope Viper is suggesting acupuncture... It might bring a reference to a certain kung fu panda.
Looks like the girls are going to be calling Viper Auntie sooner than Jackie thinks. Though I can also imagine him turning around to see Viper in the middle of stripping and Jackie just jumps out the window. Even if she was only going to change so she could give him a massage. But I'd much prefer her pinning him to the bed for a wild make out session so she can make her feelings clear.
8002807 ... * snort snort*
8001737 s' not fair... all of my favorite authors has gone into necro except tats...
In the words of Syndrome: Gettin' BIZ-ZAY!
8005642 REST, not getting exhausted!
8005642
Have you heard of the "no fap challenge"? I assume it is going to be like that. There's going to be a set of oils, some candles, and fake hand injuries... but they can't steam the oils. How will the oils get on Jack-
What if Jackie Chan is the descendent of Samurai Jack but from the good future?!
8002665 That would work pretty well, fits both the style of this story and the original show all at once. This can only end with Jade having Cutie Pox.

Made me think of this:
Heh... this is in keeping with the CMC's canonical shared (aspect of) talent as well as their shared aspect of talent*. Ironic given the dislike for that that most comments on the subject for this story show.
*Demon hunting.
