Hey guys, this is my first fanfic. It's also my first story that I publish. I hope you like it. Please only constructive criticism and no foul language. There are children that might read this. I don't own Jackie Chan Adventures or Ben 10. Enjoy!

Hong Kong, China

It was a week after Jade Chan got back from her adventure with her uncle, the retired actor turned archeologist Jackie Chan. Her parents seemed excited about something. She asked them what they were so giddy about, but they stayed silent the whole ride. She tried every trick in the book, but they were like an unbreakable safe. She finally gave up and stared out the window.

Jade was an impatient girl. She never really liked waiting for anything. She fiddled with the strings of her orange hoodie and taped her sneaker out of boredom. She then twirled a strand of her raven black hair as she tapped her finger against the car door. She sighed as she hit her the back of her head on her seat.

"Okay Seriously!" groaned Jade in frustration. "Where are you taking me, and why are you so giddy about it!?"

"Just be patient honey." answered her mother as she looked back at Jade. "We're almost there."

'So it's a place.' thought Jade in success. Her father pulled into a large parking lot. He parked the new red car in front of a huge building with a black exterior and a blue sign. "Grant Labs?" They got out of the car and walked up to the building.

The doors slid open, and Jade couldn't help but feel like she'd been had.

"Surprise!" Jade's parents shouted in excitement. It was a boring old science lab with guys in lab coats messing with old computers.

"Whoopi." Sighed Jade in sarcasm. "A nerd lab. I've seen cooler labs than this on school trips."

"Oh, don't be like that!" scolded her mother. "Your father got a job as a technician for the lab." They walked over to one of the lab doors. Inside were a weird pair of gloves. Her father slid one on and walked over to an apple. He held his hand over the apple, confusing Jade.

Suddenly, the apple flies into his hand. He then proceeded to make it float above his hand.

"Cool!" shouts Jade in awe. Her father set the apple down and took off the glove.

"It's just a prototype," explained Jade's father, "but eventually it could be used to help people reach something they need in less time. So, still think it's a boring old 'nerd lab?' If it's still not that interesting, then the hover board might be more your style."

"Are you kidding me?! You guys are working on a hoverboard!?" her father nodded in response.

"I could introduce you to Doctor Mc. Hoover sometime if you want." Jade's eyes sparkled in excitement.

"That's so awesome! Can I see the hover board?! Please?!"

"I'm afraid that one is still in development, but they're closer than any other lab in the world." Jade pouted as she crossed her arms.

"Awe man!" sighed Jade in defeat.

They left the lab and went home for the day. For the next few weeks she'd ask so many questions about work, but mostly about if the hover board was ready yet and if they needed a test pilot. She was always shut down about that last question, which started to get on her parents' nerves. A whole month went by, and she began to get tired of asking. She couldn't wait for the hover board any more.

She plotted how she'd get into the lab and find out if the hover board was ready, but a trip to her favorite amusement park cut off her train of thought. She had so much fun as she got to do all her favorite things. She rode all her favorite rides, she stuffed her face with cotton candy, and so much more. She was having the time of her life. She noticed on the way home however, that something was off.

Her parents were uncharacteristically quiet on the way home. Normally it wouldn't bother her, but they were acting so strange. They would barely say anything to her, except a simple straight answer to some of her questions. She thought they were just tired, but then she noticed that they held nervous expressions as they occasionally glanced back at her. When they got home, she decided to brush it off as she was tired and started to go to her room.

"I'm going to bed." said a tired Jade. "Night guys! Love you!" She was suddenly stopped as her mother grabbed her shoulder.

"Jade honey, could you please come here before you do?" asked her father as he sat on the couch. She groaned but then complied. She sat in the chair across from the couch. She started to worry that she was in trouble for some reason. "I'll cut right to the chase. I've received a promotion recently."

"That's what's been bothering you? I thought you'd be happy and excited."

"Well the thing is sweetie, it's a job outside of the country."

The room was silent as Jade processed her father's words.

"What!?" shouted Jade in surprise. "You mean we're moving!? Why didn't you tell me sooner!?"

"Calm down Jade." reassured her mother. "Let him explain."

"I've been promoted to chief engineer." continued Jade's father. "I'll be working on much larger projects than ever before. The promotion comes with a large bonus, of course, but it requires us to move to the main lab over seas."

"Over seas?" What were they talking about? Were they saying what she thought they were saying?

"Yes, the main lab is in Bellwood, Pennsylvania." Silence once again filled the room.

"America!" shouted Jade.

"Now I know you might be a little upset..." started her mother. Jade gained a hysterical grin as she looked to her parents.

"Upset?! I'm not upset! I just wished you'd told me sooner! I get to be closer to Uncle Jackie, Tohru, Uncle, and the other people I met in America. Not to mention with summer break coming soon, I get three months without school."

"Not so fast," interrupted her father. "By the time we get there it won't even be summer."

"What?"

"We'll be leaving in August. Don't worry though because you'll have a few days to get adjusted before you're first day of school."

"Well, at least I still get to live closer to Uncle Jackie." Her parents happily smiled at her.

"We're so proud of how well your taking the news." said Jade's mother. "We thought you'd put up some form of resistance." They looked around and realized that Jade was nowhere in the room. Her parents went up stairs and found her already packing.

"Slow down." said Jade's father as she turned around. "We're not leaving for a few months."

"I know but I'm just so excited!" shouted Jade. "I don't think I can even..." She suddenly passed out on her bed. Her parents put her in a more comfortable position, then left the room. The next few days were spent preparing for the move.

Bellwood, Pennsylvania

"Are we there yet?" asked Jade. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

"Jade be patient we're almost there." scolded her mother. "The more you ask the slower we'll drive." Jade groaned as she looked out the window.

"324, 325..." counted her father. "Aha! 326 Hendrickson Lane. We're here!" Jade smiled as she looked onward.

"Yes! Finally!" She looked watched as their new house became closer and closer. The house was a one story building with a white exterior and a brown roof. The bushes were recently trimmed, and the tree was blooming with... sunflowers?

"This must be one of the biological experiments Dr. Sheldon told me about." mused Jade's father as he exited the car. Jade ran up to the front door as her father unlocked the new house. The inside was bare except for a brown bookshelf, but that was fair since they hadn't set up their furniture yet. The cream walls went well with the black ceiling fan. The counter in the kitchen looked like it was made from fragile, colorful glass but it turned out to be tile.

She ran to her room as quickly as she could. She opened the door, but was unamused by what she saw. Her room obviously belonged to some little girl who thought it would be fun to paint all over the walls, but said little girl wasn't good at painting. The white walls were covered in what she assumed to be pink dogs, yellow cats, and green butterflies. She walked out to find all the boxes in the living room.

"What should we do first?" asked her father.

"I don't know." answered Jade in sarcasm. "Maybe repaint my room so it doesn't look like hurricane Mozart barfed up all its reject paintings in there." Her father walked into her room. When he came out, he was shaking his head with a smile.

"Jade." he started with a laugh. "Be more respectful. This house belonged to someone before us and you don't know if the child that used to be in that room is some famous artist right now. How would you feel if someone insulted something you love to do?" She had to agree with him there. If anyone insulted the time she spent with her uncle, she'd be pretty upset. Her mother decided to walk into the room. She exited with a look of confusion plastered on her face.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Jade's mother. "The ocean pattern is beautiful." Jade and her father looked at each other in confusion, then ran into the room. The walls were now painted to halfway resemble the ocean. Seagulls and fish also appeared in the painting. One of the fish in particular had an artistic style that seemed familiar only to Jade.

"I don't understand." exclaimed her father in shock. "It was covered in splotches of green and blue."

"No." argued Jade. "It was covered in pink dogs, yellow cats, and green butterflies." Her father walked away in denial and confusion. Jade walked up to the fish, and touched it. It shined, then a stone fell to the ground. Jade gasped as she went to pick it up. It was a talisman. An entirely new talisman. A fish no less.

"Cool." said Jade in awe. "I thought there were only 12 talismans though. Hmph." She walked out of the room to get the box of her stuff.

Demon Relm, Unknown Location.

Shendu was preparing to receive his punishment. He had not tried to release his siblings when he regained his physical form and they weren't happy about it. They were going to beat him and torture him for all eternity. He was going to be in for a terrible time for the rest of his life. He flew in front of his siblings.

"ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR ETERNAL TORMENT BROTHER?" asked Hsi Wu the sky demon. Shendu was about to tell them he had a plan, when he felt a shiver throughout his body. This feeling was so familiar, but it was different all the same. His eyes suddenly widened in realization. It wasn't possible!

"THIS CANNOT BE!" shouted Shendu. His siblings looked at him in confusion.

"WHAT IS WITH YOU SHENDU?" demanded Tso Lan the moon demon.

"I FEEL A TALISMAN, BUT SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT ABOUT IT."

"WHY SHOULD THIS CONCERN US?"

"IT'S AN UNKNOWN TALISMAN. I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE NEVER FELT THIS TALISMAN IN MY LIFE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT ANIMAL IT REPRESENTS OR WHAT POWERS IT MAY CONTAIN."

"SO?" asked Xiao Fung the wind demon. "THAT STILL DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED."

"IT MAY GIVE ME THE POWER TO FREE US ALL. IF THAT IS NOT THE CASE, THEN I WILL FREE YOU ONE BY ONE THE OLD FASIONED WAY." Shendu hoped they would accept. He had to have this new talisman. For all he knew it could give him his physical form back in one fell swoop.

"HOW DO WE KNOW YOU WILL NOT TRY TO REGAIN YOUR PHYSICAL FORM AND LEAVE US TO ROT HERE AGAIN?" questioned Bai Tza. Shendu quickly tried to come up with an excuse, when it hit him.

"I SHALL TAKE ON A HOST BODY. I WON'T BE ABLE TO LEAVE UNTIL I RELEASE YOU MY SIBLINGS." Shendu's siblings pondered over this.

"WE CAN ACCEPT THAT." agreed Tsu Chang the thunder demon.

"I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FEAST!" exclaimed Po King the mountain demon. A portal opened and Shendu found himself in San Francisco.

"YOU WILL BE MY TICKET TO FREEDOM CHAN." hissed Shendu as he flew off.

Wow! A new talisman. That's going to be some interesting paperwork when section 13 finds out. How will they deal with a new talisman, and a more desperate Shendu. Please review with your idea for more new talismans, but make sure that none of the talismans you submit are overpowered. Also, which villain should Shendu possess. Should it be cannon with him possessing Valmont, should it be one of his grunts, or should it be one of the Ben 10 villains. Have a good day and I'll see you in the next chapter.
