I happened to hear one of the songs used in 'The One' (You know, that movie starring Jet Li vs. Jet Li?) on the radio while driving to class tonight, and thinking of it led to thinking of how they could possibly do a sequel to it, and from there to how bad all the fanfic I've seen based on it was, and thence to who might be able to do it right... which generated the following idea.
It's fifteen or twenty years after the events of The One, and we open on someone - a son maybe? - confronting him as to why he doesn't seem to age, never gets sick, etc. Li looks contemplative for a few seconds, but before he can say more than 'Well..." he gets interrupted by a wormhole transit dropping someone in front of him - the interdimensional police dude from the first movie (also visibly older, but not so much - one of the lines in the first movie suggests he also had to or accidentally killed one of his alternates) who's now the HNIC. He tells Li that he has two problems, and he's hoping Li will be willing to solvew hewm for him. It seems that a few hours before, someone else succeeded where Wu Law failed, and became a walking god, now wreaking havoc across the worlds. At the same time, Wu Law has taken over the prison world he was sent to and is in the process of taking over the last garrison - with wormhole eqiupment - as they speak. Figuring that a balance of men-made-gods is better than a single evil one, and that if Wu gets at the teleporter he's just going to come for Li anyway, Detective Dude wants Li to go there and enhume Wu, or at least break up his organisation.
Where Doug fits in would probably be on the prison world, having connected to the wormhole network with his arrival gate just in time to be one of the defenders, and the only one with a prayer of holding off Wu Law directly. He's been doing just that, and is dead beat as we first see him, sore, battered, and having already used most of his better combat songs during the three previous times Wu has attacked that day.
Um. I dunno from there. The song ended, and I got to class.
