Chapter 7:-
"uno" the boy said for the seventh time that night, Wuya throws all her cards to the floor from a fit of anger
"you are cheating" she shouts, Jeffery only stuck out his tongue to her, "I am not a cheater" the boy says, he then hover his hands over the cards to collect them giving them to the witch, "if you're so sure then you shuffle the cards" the boy told her, Wuya took all the card in the blink of an eye and started shuffling the deck, "seven cards or eight" she asked, "whatever fits" Jeffery answered, then Wuya gave Jeffery twelve cards and she gave herself six cards
"That's not fare!" Jeffery yelled
"Life isn't fair, get over it" she answered then looked at her cards, all of them were numbers and either yellow or green, she grunts at her bad luck tonight, Jeffery flipped his cards to see all of them were either the changing cards, the +4, or +2 and some rewind turn ones
"Hello beautiful" [1] he called the cards and Wuya flipped her cards, "I'm not playing" she yells again, "why, this time you shuffled it, so there is no way I cheated"
"Whenever you call those cards beautiful it just means you have all the good cards" Wuya clears the statement, Jeffery only smirked
"Jack told me to intimidate the players this way" he smirked and played all the rewind cards finishing them in one turn then gave Wuya a +2
"Since you are picking up two cards it's my turn, I will put another +2 and it will be my turn again, repeat, repeat, two +4 cards, and one changing colours uno" Jeffery holds up one card in his hands
"Just show me the card" Wuya demands, Jeffery showed her that he was holding a +4
"That's it, I'm leaving" Wuya got up and headed to the large doors, Jeffery stood up and holds her dress
"Don't leave me alone" he says, but Wuya only pushed him down
"get a teddy bear, I hate babysitting" and she left for good, Jeffery smirked, he knew she wouldn't stay but he acted as a kid to give her a sign that he was weak, and he couldn't possibly do anything alone anymore without his smashed gadget kit, oh how was she wrong, Jeffery looked from left to right, up and down and front until behind
No one was around, which meant perfect time for him to work, he took out a fork from his pocket, no one can believe how many stuff he can hide in his shorts, he just puts whatever he wants and it fits
"Jack fixed the jets but I need to tinker with it so I could make it go faster" Jeffery said, he sat on the floor leaving his back facing the door and took off one of his sneaker, he began to twist some wires that were inside it "well, if making loops of wires create a magnetic field, what if turned the power the other way around, I'm sure that will generate electric power, but how?" he asked himself as he tried to make a blue print inside of his mind
"how the hell does Jack think of all this in minutes!" he yell in frustration, sure he called himself a genius, but he wasn't as smart as Jack, he was half his smarts, happy to be far more intellectual than all the average people and able to compete with other intellectuals in the battle of wits, but compared to Jack, that was the problem, he was always compared to Jack, the only good thing about him is that he has dark hair, people say it's better to have dark hair, but to him Jack still looked cool even if people say he looks like a freak, well to sum it up, because of Jeffery's IQ he mostly thinks as a teenager minus the romance, he gets allot of emotional swings.
"well, im glad you are not as persistent as your brother, normally Spicer would never give up until he runs away" the voice of a certain immortal rose, Jeffery turned around to see Chase watching him
"whatever, I just don't feel like running away, now that Mike is dead" Jeffery answered without showing emotions, Chase raised an eyebrow to what the boy said, he was glad that this Spicer was not as persistent as his older counterpart, but it just feels wrong watching him, and not the good type of wrong, I mean, the evil type of wrong.
Suddenly a cat comes in looking at its master with an expression made out of fear
"what is it" Chase asked, the cat moved its head and tail to say something, Jeffery didn't understand what it was saying, but it was obvious something important happened, Chase looked at his struggling feline warrior, he understood what it said, he then turns around to look at Jeffery
"order your injured comrades to rest until they heal, let the others fight them" Chase ordered, the cat left at his master's orders running towards a fight, Jeffery couldn't help but feel something was off, he got up and walked towards the chair to hide behind it very slowly
"Spicer you shall stay here without movement, understood, later some of my warriors will come to escort you to us" Chase said bringing Jeffery to a halt, he sat on the chair instead of hiding behind it.
"how many cats are there!" Mike yelled mesmerized by the many fighting Jaguars or tigers or whatever the hell their species was, "don't know, maybe they multiplied from last time" Jack cocked a gun and shot at a jumping cheetah, another one was about to claw Mike but one of the Jack bots released a glowing net, "Thanks" Mike yelled he then saw an opening between the cats where he could cross without any problem, as he took the first step he took out both his miniature guns and readied himself for what to come later, the path was clear and the cats were not able to notice his plan, but …
"oaf-" was what heard from Mike, Jack turned his gaze to watch his ally stumble on the ground, he looked up to see non-other than Chase Young looking quite pissed at the events that surrounds him, he flicked his hands and all that were present stopped, even Jack, the only thing that was heard is Mike's grunts and curses
"what the hell, that hurts, I swear, no one ever touched me before not even sucker punching me and here, oh no every move I make I get exactly that" he didn't stop rubbing his backside, he stood up and noticed the evil lord
"umm… hi?" he said
"USE THE GUNS IDIOT" Jack shouted at him from across the room Mike looked at his hands and mentally punched himself from forgetting the weapons that were in his disposal, he aimed at Chase but didn't shoot, his hands were trembling and would not respond to his thoughts, actually Mike found his full self tremble in fear, (this is not happening, I can't move) he thought, he looked at Chase's eyes and noticed how it looked like a cats one
"pfft" he laughed, which made the immortal yet again raise his eyebrows for the second time that day
"yesterday I left you expecting your death, today I see you in full health, yet not shaking at my presence, but laughing at it" he said with a tone of anger, Mike covered his mouth trying to shut up, he was supposed to be fighting him not humour him
"sorry, its just this place is filled with cats, and your eyes are just like cats, its funny" he bursts out laughing dropping the guns and grabbing his stomach, Jack does the infamous Face-Palm gesture, he forgot how Mike's sense of humor is just plain weird
Chase was angry but he wasn't showing it, the only thing that made everyone know of his anger was the creepy aura that radiates around him, Jack was going to order Mike to stop, but before he could even utter a word a gun shot was heard, Chase not believing himself falling for that stupid and old trick, he also felt pain from it, what are these bullets, he grasps for air and then grabs a hold of his injury
"that's payback for yesterday" after that Mike steps on Chase's injuriy making him grunt he then leave to the halways, Jack was speechless, he also forgot how Mike was pretty much a trickster and a good actor, he then looks at the injured Chase and smiled at how his improved bullets worked, it was a side project, but he never thought he would use it, the project was to manufacture a bullet that could be used against all people using magic, the project was actually inspired by Jack's fears, Jack then snaps from his thoughts and started to use the same nets the Jack-bots were using.
Mike was using a tracker device, he fallowed the map until he reached to his destination
"JEFF!" he yells, Jeffery looked at the door and couldn't believe his eyes, Mike was alive, and he was okay too, he ran towards the ex-soldier and hugged him tightly, his hands were too small to embrace the full grown man
"where is Jack?" he asks, Mike carried the boy and touched a remote controller that was inside his pockets, he is now flying
"will get out of here and Jack will meet us outside" Mike lied at Jeffery, but he knew that the boy will never leave if he knew Jack was staying behind
"Alright, I knew big brother would come" Jeff punches the air showing his happiness, and Mike flew right outside the window leaving Jack behind just as planned
"F*ck…" Jack's hands were tied behind his back, he lost against Wuya, after Chase had his injury he was in a fit of rage and started to try and hurt the source, that was Jack, not after a while and Wuya joined the fight
"well well, we finally got what we wanted and got rid of that boy" Wuya said, Jack was looking the other side, "what's wrong, cant admit your defeat" Wuya flew to his eyesight and Jack looked the other way
"sorry Wuya, after I left I promised not to look at anything Horrible, 's sing along blog was an exception" [2] he said, and Wuya then spread her arms to grab Jack's chin, "look at me you-"
"stop it" Chase was furious, he had enough for these two days to last him a life time, and he really does have a life time, "Wuya would you just state your point so we could resume our daily life" he grunts
"Oh yes, Jackie dear we need your access to the intelligence agency facility number 14, if you would be kind enough seeing how you are not evil anymore" Wuya says and Jack was annoyed by this request
"your telling me that you kidnapped my brother just for some stupid access, because of the stupid stunt you guys did yesterday, do you know how much trouble you brought me, after this silly meeting I have to go and make a public speech about how there was some stupid fluke in the system and that everything will get fixed blab la bla, and that there is nothing to worry about bla bla, H-Hey! Don't touch my backpack!" Jack's speech was interrupted as Wuya scrolled through the worthless books in the bag
"where is that hideous heli-pack that we all got attached too" she said as she threw a book behind Jack
"work shop, now stop touching, these are my sketches for new inventions" he yelled, but he was glad that she threw a book behind him, precisely the same sketch book that he was drawing on when he brought Jeffery to the Valley, if memory doesn't bail on him, he lift a pen inside the notebook, not any kind of pen, a laser shooting pen (well, I got to admit, if it weren't for Jeff I would never have got hooked on these things) he remembered that this laser was fatally deadly, he opened the note book and took the pen from inside it
"you know dumb balls, if you needed access you could have bought it from the black market, allot of people wants to enter that specific building" he says as he tries to open the safety pin inside the pen
"black market? Do these things even exist now" Wuya says
"duh, where do you think I get my second investment, basically 'im neutral, I help both good guys and bad guys, i help the good guys like the bureau so they wouldn't put me in the suspect list and I help the bad guys because it feels right, they offer protection and extra profit, and besides, they get rid of unwanted competition" Jack said with a smirk
"Interesting Spicer, I thought you have stopped on being evil" Chase said, Jack showed a questioning look on his face he then looked at the ceiling to prove that point
"I said I stopped in the conflict between Heylin and xiaolin, I didn't say I would stop being Evil" he scuffed, "besides, like I said, I'm neutral, I just tend to go with the evil side more" he grimaces
"world domination is what I wanted, remember, the whole time I was fighting with Shen gong wu I forgot that this world doesn't work this way, no, if you had a weapon anyone can make a stronger one, or build even more weapons than you have, after thinking about it, I can control the world but without anyone noticing"
Wuya doesn't believe her ears, so the wand of potential really didn't disappoint, it really did choose someone worthy, of something much more, Chase on the other hands wasn't thinking about what Wuya was thinking, he was far more interested in Spicer's plan
"well, we both have the same logic on the shen gong wu, that there is no true need in them, but I am far more interested in your plans, it seems that you have found your field of expertise" Chase complimented Jack
"that I did, if I felt like it, I could kick the monks out of the temple simply because they can't pay the rent, or if im not lazy I will force them to sell the temple, but I guess i'm lazy" he then remembers his brother Jeffery
"At first I didn't really want to stay evil, I wanted to be good for my brother, but that was impossible for me, so I stayed evil and hoped Jeff wouldn't be like me" he then looks up at his old childhood idol, "I did a good job, I can tell how many comments he made about how bad you guys are" he showed his biggest smile and used his pen to cut the ropes, he then started the engines inside the boots he was wearing, "look, ill get you that pass if you got the money, if you don't, then whatever" he flew out of the volcanic lair leaving a dumb founded Wuya and a delighted Chase.
"well, in 1500 years someone finally proved me wrong Spicer, you aren't a worthless worm as i have first thought, and you have gained really interesting allies" he was actually amazed that a person like Mike, with no sense of Magic, could still be alive, he most learn how he did so, he then looks at the bundle of books and papers on the floor
"but you still lack common sense"
[1] that was a reference on my real life, when i play uno, im always the winner, so i take pitty on my friends and warn them before hands that i have awesome evil cards "hello beautiful" i say and they all know the winner XD
[2] who is a fan, besides me, i always loved Neil Patrick Harrison, but after watching that movie im like *fangirl mode*
sorry if this was really bad, but i kinda like this chapter, it shows how hard people can actually change, not in physical form but mentally, and Jack still being Evil but hides it from his family, well i like jerk characters so there
