Note for the Author: Hi everyone! Well here I am writing yet another story. I know, know I should be finishing up "Frozen in Time" but I'm having some major writes block. So I decided to write something that I can actually think of ideas for. Well, the idea for this story isn't actually mine, and for that reason I'd like to give a huge thanks to Forgotten Love for this great idea!!! Thanks Forgotten Love!!! ^_^ Basically this story takes place at the end of the 1st season. Lets just say Jackie never got split by the tiger talisman and now it is with the rest of the talismans in the Vault at section 13. Well of course Shendu had the Sheep and the Dragon talismans but that beside the point. What am I waiting for, lets get to the story...
Chapter 1:
Finn, Ratso and Chow were walking down the street in San Francisco, California. They had to be careful not to walk by any police stations because they were wanted by most of the officers in San Fran. It's true that even if the Dark Hand was one of the top crime syndicates their successes had been very low lately. Ever since their leader Valmont started working for Shendu they've been on a hunt across the world for Shendu's 12 magical talismans. Personally Finn, Ratso, and Chow didn't trust that statue that Valmont was taking orders from. Shendu had promised Valmont the treasure of Shen Che Hun is they succeeded in their quest. Which would put them on easy street forever, but with Jackie Chan standing their way success was not looking very promising.
"What are we supposed to do now that all the talismans are found?" Rasto said looking up into the sky.
"I don't know, Big V. would probably want us to try to break into Section 13 or something..." Finn said looking at Ratso.
"But we have no idea where it is!" Chow said.
"Point...Ow, ow, ow!" Finn said as her jumped up and down holding his foot. "Ow, ow, ow."
"What did you do?!" Chow asked as he watched Finn jump up and down.
"I ow, stubbed my toe ow, on that." Finn said as pointed to a small rock on the ground. Ratso knelt down and picked it up.
"Whoa! Check this out guys." Rasto said holding up the rock.
"It looks like, like a talisman..." Chow said.
"But I thought there were only twelve?" Finn said as he grabbed it from Ratso to take a closer look.
"Yah, me too." Replied Ratso.
"But look at this thing it is definitely a talisman..." Finn said turning it over in his hands.
"What if it's a counterfeit?" Chow asked.
"Why would anyone need to make a counterfeit of a talisman?" Finn said. (AN: Viper ^_^ )
"Maybe Shendu knows something about it? Ratso asked.
"Well it wouldn't hurt to ask..." Finn said as he started to walk down the street again, Ratso and Chow followed. Finn put the talisman in his pocket. He didn't want to accidentally activate it. Who knew what powers this newly found talisman held within its stone interior. The trio arrived at the Dark Hands hideout located in a tall skyscraper-like building. They walked inside and went to where Valmont and Shendu would be.
"Hey Big V look at this!" Finn said as he pulled the talisman out of his pocket and handed it to Valmont.
"It's some-kinda talisman." Ratso said.
"Impossible!!!" The large statue that hung over Valmont's desk said. "All of my twelve talismans have already been found."
"Are you sure Shendu? This does have a close resemblance to your twelve." Valmont said looking at the stone in his hand.
"Let me see it." Shendu said Valmont held the talisman up to his face. Shendu examined this small piece of rock carefully. On the front it had an abstract looking violet.
"Wadda you think Shendude?" Finn asked. "It's not on of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac..." Shendu muttered. "Turn it over Valmont." On the back it had some small Chinese writing. This is normally where the talisman said what power it possessed.
"Mind control..." Shendu whispered.
"What?" Valmont said pulling the talisman away.
"This talisman supposedly has the power of mind control." Shendu said.
""How do we know it works?" Rasto asked.
"We test it!" Valmont said as he pointed the talisman at Ratso.
"No wait!" Rasto said holding up his hands. "There is no way I am being you guinea pig!" Before Ratso could protest anymore Valmont said,
"Ratso!" He froze. "Act like a chicken!" The talisman glowed and Ratso started to flap his arms and make clucking noises.
"Whoa Big V, it really does work..." Finn said as he watched his partner act like a total idiot. "Leeme see it!" Finn rushed forward and grabbed the talisman out of Valmont's hand. The second Valmont let go Ratso stopped.
"I tell you I'm not test...why are you guys looking at me like that?" Rasto said.
"You were just acting like a chicken." Chow said.
"I was not!" Ratso replied crossing his arms.
"He must not remember any of it." Valmont said.
"And he stopped when I took the talisman away so that means..."
"It only works when the original person who used it is holding it." Chow said.
"This talisman could be a great use to us Valmont." Shendu said.
"How Shendude?" Finn asked.
"If we use it on someone who knows the location of Section 13..."
"Then we ask them to bring the talismans to us..." Chow said.
"And the treasure of Shen Che Hun is mine!" Valmont said bawling his fist into the air. The enforcers all looked at him. "I mean the treasure of Shen Che Hun is ours." Valmont said nervously. "Well what are you waiting for! Go find someone who can retrieve the talismans for us!"
"But who Big V?" Finn asked.
"Someone who knows the location of Section 13!" Valmont replied.
"What about Chan! He would know!" Ratso said.
"No, Chan would spoil our plans somehow..." Valmont said thinking.
"How about Captain Black?" Chow asked.
"You would need to get into Section 13 for that to work!" Valmont said.
"Oh, oh! What about that annoying little brat that is always following Chan around!?" Finn said.
"You mean his niece?" Valmont asked.
"Yah, her. She must know where Section 13 is!" Finn answered.
"I hate to involved one of Chan's relatives in this...but it seems to be our only option." Valmont said still unsure of there decision. "Well go!"
"Going..." Said the enforcers as they walked away.
"And don't do anything stupid!" Valmont said as they left.
Finn, Ratso, and Chow went outside and started to make there way towards Chinatown. Finn had the talisman in his pocket again and was tempted to pull it out and use it on Ratso or Chow. But then he changed his mind and decided that would be doing something stupid and just cause more problems. The three reached "Uncles Rare Finds" and hid around the corner.
"Now we don't want to make a scene." Finn said.
"How are we going to get the girl to come out?" Chow asked.
"Chan might be in there! He would whip out butts if we knew we were going to kidnap his niece." Ratso replied.
"We could just wait..." Finn said. They didn't have to wait long. Jade opened the door and walked outside.
"Goodbye Jackie, Uncle!" She yelled inside as she waved goodbye. She shut the door and started to walk down the street.
"Shh! Here she comes." Chow said. Jade walked past them not noticing. Finn held out the talisman and it started to glow.
"Jade," She stopped. "Be a good little girl and bring us the talismans." Jade nodded her head. Finn, Ratso, and Chow got up and followed her. Jade kept walking and they soon reached a small alleyway. It had a phone booth in it and Jade stepped inside. The door on the phone booth closed and went inside the wall into Section 13.
"Clever." Chow said, "who would of thought a phone booth would be the entrance to Section 13."
"No wonder we couldn't find it." Finn said. They waited for a while and soon enough Jade stepped out of the elevator with a bag in her hand. She walked up and handed it to Finn. He looked down at her.
"Wow our plan actually worked for once." He said. "We better get these back to Valmont before Section 13 finds out were here."
"Yah, getting caught wouldn't be a good thing." Ratso said.
"What do we do with the girl?" Chow asked looking at Jade.
"Valmont might still want her for something. We better bring her with us." Finn said. "What about when Chan finds out she's missing?" Ratso asked.
"That's his problem." Finn replied. "Lets go."
Finn, Ratso, Chow, and Jade arrived at the Dark Hand's hid-out and went inside.
"Hey Big V! Look what we got!" Finn said as he handed the bag to Valmont. Valmont opened it and looked inside.
"You actually succeeded." Valmont started to pull the talismans out 1 by 1 and placing them on Shendu's statue. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12." Valmont counted as he placed the last talisman on Shendu's statue. There was a big flash of light and everyone in the room had to close their eyes. There was a large gust of wind and it knocked the talisman out of Finn's hand. The dust cleared and a large dragon stood before them. Jade blinked her eyes and looked around. She caught sight of Shendu and screamed.
"WHAT IN THE HECK IS GOING ON! HOW DID I GET HERE WHAT IS—"
"Shut up child." Shendu snapped and Jade closed her mouth.
"Hey Shendude!" Finn said in disbelief.
"Well Shendu, now that you have what you want how about you hand over that treasure?" Valmont said.
"You did not retrieve the talismans for me Valmont," Shendu looked down at Jade, "She did. Therefore the treasure will remain mine."
"SHENDU! YOU TRATOIR!" Valmont screamed.
"I will not be needing the Darks Hand's assistance anymore Valmont." Shendu said. He held out his hand and used the levitation power to make the newly found talisman fly to his hand. "As for you," Shendu said to Jade, "you may still be of some assistance to me."
"Me? No way I'm helping you out!" Jade said crossing her arms.
"You may not have a choice." Shendu said as the talisman glowed.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Author Note: Well that was fun! ^_^ The next chapter will explain a lot of thing like hopefully who the talisman was created by and what it's original use was. Also why Shendu need's Jades help etc...I'm so excited this story is going to have all the demons in it and don't worry the Dark Hand will be back! Oh, and I also know that Tohru and Hack Foo are also enforcers. They might appear later but for now there not in the story. I didn't really think they fit in this chapter. Thanks again to Forgotten Love for this great idea! Please review!!! ~Yu Mutou
