A/N: Alright, this story idea was requested, so the idea wasn't mine, just the writing was. But I did have some fun writing it, hope you enjoy reading it.
I don't own Jackie Chan Adventures, or Xiaolin Showdown
Jade Chan groaned and hit her head down on the table. Jade had been begging nonstop for her Uncle Jackie to take her with him whenever he went places. Now, finally, Jackie had let Jade come with him. But if Jade had known how long and boring it would be she would have rather stayed home. They hadn't even started and Jade was bored out of her mind.
"Jackie, this is taking forever." Jade complained to her Uncle. The two of them were still at the hotel, gathering their things for the day, which they'd been doing for the past hour, "Can't we just go now."
"Yes Jade, we can go now." Jackie says as he gets the last of his tools. Jade smiled and grabbed her own bag and went to follow Jackie. Jade may find Jackie's work boring, but it's better then sitting in the hotel doing nothing. And who knows? This might be one of those times when something exciting and awesome happens.
"So, where are we going?" Jade asks Jackie.
"To a cave a short distance from here," Jackie responds, "a friend of mine has discovered something there and he was hoping that I would take a look at it. We need to do it today, because he thinks that somebody else is after the same thing."
"Wait, this thing's already been found?" Jade asks, "Does that mean that you don't have to take hours to dig with a spoon and dust with the puny brush?"
Jackie smiled, "It won't take hours this time Jade, but we'll still have to be a little careful, understand?" Jade nodded and followed her Uncle into the cave. While Jackie went to join his friend by whatever he found Jade wandered around the cave and looked around. The whole thing was like a maze and it was pretty cool.
Jade all around the cave, she even found a tunnel that went up and at the end was a ledge overlooking another spot in the cave. Jade looked over the ledge, gasped, and ducked out of sight. There was someone down there, and they didn't look friendly. Jade took a deep breath and took another look, and what she saw wasn't a good thing. Down below her stood Valmont and some other people in the dark hand.
"They must be the other people who want the whatever it is," Jade muttered, "I have to go tell Jackie." Jade snuck quietly back through the tunnel, and when she was out of earshot started running back to where Jackie was.
"Jackie, Jackie, we have a problem," Jade says while she tugged on her Uncles arm.
"Jade, I'm busy right now." Jackie says without looking at her, his concentration still on the…what was that? It was a strange, flat, diamond shaped thing that looked important, like it did something other then look weird. Jade was so distracted that she entirely forgot about telling Jackie that the Dark Hand was here.
"What the…Chan, what are you doing here?" A new voice says. Jackie finally turns and see's the Dark Hand there.
"I could ask you the same thing." Jackie says.
"We heard there was a diamond here," Finn says, "So hand it over."
Jackie doesn't hand it to the Enforcers, but gives it to Jade instead. The Enforcers immediately begin their usual routine of trying to beat Jackie, but he was a much better fighter then they were and was able to face them no problem. Jade used this distraction to her advantage and ran off to another part of the cave. But she ended up getting lost and running into a dead end. Jade turned around and started running the other way, but ended up running into Valmont, who had followed her.
"Chan's not here to help you this time," Valmont says, "so why not make this easy for the both of us and hand that diamond over?"
"It's not an actual diamond," Jade says stubbornly, "It's just the shape of one, but it's not a priceless gem…at least, I don't think it is." Jade then takes another look at the strange object in her hand.
"It doesn't matter what it is," Valmont says, "It's bound to bring in some money either way, so give it here." Valmont moves to grab the object, but Jade keeps her grip on it and doesn't let go. Jade and Valmont tug at the diamond shaped thing and only stop when it starts to glow strangely. Jade suddenly feels a strange tugging sensation, as if something was pulling her somewhere else. And by the look on Valmont's face, the same thing was happening to him.
"JACKIE." Jade calls out for help, but it was too late. The glow of the diamond had grown and enveloped both Jade and Valmont. When the glow had receded neither of them were there anymore.
Have I said before just how much I hate naming stories? The answer is a lot, it's a lot harder to do then it looks.
