Disney Vs Non Disney Villains War Part Two[]
Beginnings[]
There lives two temples in the Asian territory that were constantly at odds. The Xiaolin, an incredibly peaceful and tranquil people, and the Heylin, who are sinister and desire world domination. Both temples have been standing for as long as anyone can remember, and still stand today. Their quarrels largely revolve around Shen Gong Wu-- an array of magic artifacts with various different specialties and uses.
Many, many years ago, there were only two disciplines within the Heylin temple. Men learned hand to hand combat while women learned medicine. Wuya, like all women born into the Heylin, was immediately launched into medical study, much to her dismay. Wuya wanted to learn how to fight, but, women were not allowed.
Irritated and feeling denied of her true desires, Wuya spent her days studying medicine and her nights studying martial arts in secret. This deprived her of a good deal of sleep, but Wuya refused to standby and let the men learn how to fight without her.
When Wuya was still a young adult, she had mastered both arts of battle and medicine, but found a strange result when she applied her skills into one. Learning so much about what harms the body and what heals the body gave Wuya an understanding of the body that very few had. Wuya was prodigiously capable of using this understanding to channel her body energy into magic. While magic was far from unheard of, Wuya was the first to introduce it into the Heylin temple.
Wuya quickly used her newfound power to establish dominanace over her branch of the Heylin. As Heylin Grandmistress, she began expanding her influence over China. This caught the attention of a Heylin Grandmaster hailing from the West--a demon spawn called Hannibal Roy Bean. Although the size and shape of a mere bean, Hannibal's favorite Shen Gong Wu, The Mobi Morpher, allowed him to change his size, and apply his skills in martial arts to prolific use. The two formed a close alliance to further spread Heylin influence.
Eventually, Wuya was approached by Shendu. He needed a second magician to perform a ritual for him, Wuya agreed, and after the ritual was finished, Shendu inadvertently impregnated Wuya,nine months later Drago was born.
Drago grew up to hate his father for abandoning him and his mother, as well as envying his status as China's ruler. However, news eventually spread throughout China that Shendu had been vanquished--turned to stone, with his twelve talismans of power spread over the globe. Drago had found the Sheep Talisman fairly quickly, which gave the power of astral projection. Wuya saw this as her chance to take China for herself. Alongside Hannibal Roy Bean and Drago, Wuya fought any other aspirant to the Chinese throne--only to face resistance from Tarakudo, and his army of Oni warriors.
Hannibal was the first to fight the Oni, only to be defeated, in physical combat, and lose his Mobi Morpher down a ravine, reducing him back to his bean size. These circumstances forced him to retreat.
Tarakudo then focused on fighting Wuya. Though the fight was fairly even, it was Tarakudo who came out on top. Wuya was beaten, while Tarakudo prepared to deal the final blow. However, Drago managed to move in just the nick of time, and threw the sheep talisman to Wuya. Wuya managed to save her own life by using its power of astral projection to separate her spirit from her body. Though her spirit survived, her body was destroyed, and the talisman sent a distance by Tarakudo's final blast.
An angry Drago found himself face to face with Tarakudo and his entire Oni army. Wuya had no physical form, and could no longer fight, stuck as a purple wisp-like spirit. Drago, in a last ditch attempt to fend off Tarakudo, used a spell his mother had taught him that he was never able to master. However, the anger he harnessed at the time was enough to seal Tarakudo and his army into a plethora of masks that imprisoned them.
Drago and Wuya decided to work together on finding a method of restoring Wuya's physical form. However, their search did not last long until a new challenger appeared; Chang, who, under the Dark Dragon's orders, trapped Wuya inside a puzzle box. Drago was promptly overpowered by Chang, who forced the dragon to retreat.
Several ages later, an explorer found the puzzle box in the deep jungle and brought it home to his son, Jack Spicer...

Vs Shendu[]
As the war continued to rage, the ruler of China, the demon sorcerer Shendu, strengthened his control over his domain, preparing for his entrance into the war. However, he soon found himself confronted by a Heylin witch named Wuya, who desired to rule China herself. Appearing before Shendu, Wuya baited the dragon into attacking her, only to stun him with a swift kick. Shendu quickly recovered, and knocked Wuya aside with a laser blast from his eyes. Shendu tried to follow this up with a second magical blast, but this one was far less effective, being turned into harmless mist by Wuya's magic. This allowed Wuya to retaliate with a blast of her own, tearing a hole straight through Shendu's chest and sending him flying against a wall. Unfortunately for her, this only made Shendu angrier, as the dragon quickly healed, and unleashed a magical barrage, forcing Wuya to leap for her life. Shendu then revealed his trump card: a magical box. Unprepared, Wuya was sucked into the box, trapping her forever.
