XD Enya's POV
I enjoyed writing this chapter.
Both Shendu and Valmont will be fighting over Enya!
I watched in amusement as Jackie used a fork to try and find the Tiger Talisman in one of the pies standing in front of us. I was kind of dreading this episode because not only would Shendu be restored by the end of it, but Jackie himself would be split into his Ying and Yang sides which was pretty annoying. The talisman ended up being revealed to be outside of San Francisco at a local country fair and I went along for the ride with Jade and Jackie.
"The Tiger Talisman is inside one of these pies" Jackie explained as he continued to poke around the pies.
"Pssh, piece of cake oops pie we can just join the contest until we find it and the beauty is we're the only ones amongst Mr. Green Jeans is our only competition" Jade added while she handed me a number four sign while she gave Jackie his number. I watched as the old man who would find the Talisman put his dentures in.
"Uh guys" I said nudging Jackie in the ribs. He and Jade turned to see Tohru walking up the table he had a number five sign on him, he chuckled evilly before taken two chairs and placed them under him so he could sit down.
"Maybe Tohru didn't leave room for dessert?" Jade joked with a nervous laugh. The whistle then blew signaling the contest to start. At once we all started to eat away at the pies except for Jackie. The pies were many flavors and they tasted delicious. Both Jade and Tohru were eating like crazy while I ate at my own pace. I winced when I heard a crack followed by the old man saying.
"Something crunchy in my pie" he then put his hand into his mouth and pulled out his dentures. In them was the Tiger Talisman. Since I was next to the old man I hurried over to him and quickly snagged the talisman from him, and returned his dentures.
"Thanks!" I called to him as Jackie and Jade stood up. I was about to jump off of the table when I felt it bend underneath me, and I knew it had been Tohru doing so trying to knock me off balance.
"Give me that!" he began but Jade tossed a pie into his face and I laughed as I got off the table.
"He was going to say pie right?" Jade teased as Jackie hurried over to her and grabbed her under his arm.
"Come on Enya" Jackie said and I nodded following him running into the field full of corn.
Shendu's POV
"After nine centuries all twelve talismans have been recovered yet I only possess two while Jackie Chan has ten you have failed me Valmont!" I snapped.
"Now Shendu just because Chan's locked them up in Section 13 doesn't mean we won't find" Valmont began but I interrupted him.
"The New Year approaches! It is essential I have all twelve talismans before then if you ever wish to lay eyes upon the treasure of Chi Xi Hung!" Valmont then turned around and called for the mortal Tohru.
"Bring me Jackie Chan" the Englishman ordered. Tohru simply nodded and turned around but I suddenly spoke.
"Also bring the shape shifter" Tohru tensed up at the mention of Enya but he simply replied.
"As you wish Shendu" the sumo then took his leave.
"Why do you want Enya here Shendu?" Valmont asked turning to look at me.
"Why I wish to have her here in my presence when I make my come back is none of your concern Valmont" I simply answered him back.
"Very well Shendu, if Chan doesn't surrender the location of the talismans we can convince him to do so with some prodding" he then removed the top of his cane which revealed a laser like sword underneath.
"Enya will not be harmed you fool! Even you would be an idiot to do such a thing!"
"I wouldn't dare hurt her" Valmont stated back. "I very much like her Shendu"
"You better keep your word Valmont if she is harmed you will regret it" I threatened the leader of the Dark Hand.
Enya's POV
Uncle's Shop
"Here you are Enya" Uncle placed a neatly wrapped gift in front of me.
"What is this for Uncle?" I asked arching an eyebrow at the Chi Wizard.
"Chinese New Year gift" Uncle explained and I only chuckled before I picked up the box and unwrapped it. Once I removed the wrapping paper I opened the box and pulled out a beautiful figurine of an eastern dragon. The scales of the dragon were a beautiful shade of dark red; its eyes seemed to be made out of Cubic Zirconium the color of gold. A small reattach able orange and gold flame piece shot out of the dragons mouth. I stood up and gave Uncle a hug and he chuckled and returned it.
"You earned it Enya you are a wonderful assistant" Uncle said to me pulling away from our embrace.
"And you are a hilarious character"
"Hey I heard that!" Jade protested from the other room. Her parents had sent her a gift basket full of candy and Jackie just now told her Chinese New Year was two days away. I put the figurine back into its box while Uncle shouted. "Hotcha"
"The Tiger Talisman possess the power of balance" just as Uncle said this Jade passed by in an orange blur and hurriedly jumped onto a pile of books.
"Cool so whoever has it can't lose their whoa!" Jade suddenly lost her balance and since I was nearest I caught her in my arms.
"The kind of balance your parents in Hong Kong sent you here to learn" Jackie added as he stood front of me and Jade growled.
"Within each and every one of us lies conflicting forces Ying and Yang, light and dark, good and evil"
"Pft like Jackie has a dark side" Jade said as I put her down.
"I do her name is Jade" Jackie teased his niece.
"Balance that's not even a real power" Jade countered.
"Good then I will enjoy taking this powerless talisman to Section 13 so we can put this quest to rest" Jackie plucked the talisman from Jade.
"While Jade and Enya will enjoy making tea for her boss and dear old Uncle" Jade growled again before I said to her.
"Come on kid"
"Alright" Jade replied and we headed into the kitchen. I decided to make the tea while Jade cut up some orange slices.
"Say Enya?" Jade asked and I looked to her.
"What's up?"
"Do you like Uncle Jackie?" that comment almost got me to lose my footing.
"As a friend not like boyfriend material why do you ask?"
"You and Jackie would make a good pair in my opinion" Jade answered me with a teasing look.
"I happen to do have boyfriend his name is Smaug" I teased the preteen back as I poured tea into several cups.
"Who's Smaug?" Jade asked putting the orange slices onto the tray.
"Oh he's a dragon from "The Hobbit" series written J.R.R. Tolkien" I explained to her. Jade burst out laughing as we left the kitchen. I held onto the tray while Jade walked ahead of me.
"Tea is ready dear Uncle" Jade began but she gasped as the two of us saw Jackie eating her candy. I quickly put the tray down so I wouldn't break anything.
"Mmm good" Dark Jackie said while rubbing his stomach.
"Jackie! That's my candy!" Jade whined at her uncle. Dark Jackie came to her and patted her head.
"Not anymore got milk?" he joked before heading into the kitchen.
"What happened to Jackie he is such a cry baby" Uncle said coming out of his study.
"He's such a jerk" Jade added.
"He's in the library weeping all over my research" Uncle argued with his hands on his hips.
"No, he's in the kitchen raiding the fridge" Jade countered back pointed to the kitchen.
"Guys the Tiger Talisman" I reminded them both. Both Jade and Uncle looked to me before all three us of called. "Jackie"
Immediately both Dark and Light Jackie came out of the kitchen. Both Jade and Uncle gasped as I added.
"Holy crap"
Dark Jackie burped holding a milk carton before he turned to his left and saw his good half.
"Whoa!" both Jackie's said and the milk carton fell to the floor.
A Few Minutes Later.
We all stood in Uncle's study while Uncle once more looked over the talisman book.
"When the talisman Jackie's Ying was separated his Yang"
"Jackie light and Jackie Dark" I added turning to both Jackie's.
"I am the dark side" Light Jackie began to start crying. "I murdered a bug"
Jade frowned and approached Dark Jackie.
"You're the side who ate my candy?" Dark Jackie had his arms folded across his chest and he sneered back at Jade.
"You're evil, Evil!" Jade yelled pointing at Dark Jackie.
"Not evil just lacking sound judgment without his good side to guide him"
"It's like a mating bond between dragons" this got Jade, Uncle, and both Jackie's to look at me.
"Each dragon has a true mate, a true mate is the light to the dragon's darkness, and is repeated into the mate bounded to that dragon"
"Speaking of mates Enya" Dark Jackie began and I flashed him a death look. His smirk faded and he growled, I bet he wanted to make a rude comment and I'm glad I stopped him.
"You both have the two halves of the Tiger Talisman I take it?" I asked both Jackie's. Both Dark and Light Jackie took out the halves of the Tiger Talisman.
"The two of them must be joined together and reform a one whole Jackie" I explained to both Jackie's.
"Me and Whimpy?" Dark Jackie asked disgusted at the thought.
"Ooh, Enya please no he burps out loud without saying excuse me!" Light Jackie added.
"You must restore balance!" Uncle shouted in annoyance and he two fingered slap both Jackie's.
"Ow!" they both whined. Then Dark Jackie finger slapped Uncle back.
"You'll pay for that!" Uncle growled before he returned the favor to Dark Jackie. Both Uncle and Dark Jackie then continued to finger slap each other until I saw cars pulling up. Jade gasped and she hurried to the window to get a better look.
"Enough!" I snapped now tired of Uncle and Dark Jackie acting like children. I felt smoke escape my nostrils.
"The Dark Hand" both Light and Dark Jackie whispered.
"Hide the Talisman!" Uncle said as the men of the Dark Hand came closer to the door. Both Jackie's complied.
"What are we going to do?" Jade demanded coming back to my side.
"Laugh like circus clowns while they scream for mercy" Dark Jackie answered getting into a fighting pose his fists raised.
"Run!" Light Jackie added before he ran past me and Jade.
"Guess we'll never know if two Jackie's are better whoa!" Light Jackie came back to me and Jade. He grabbed my hand while the other held Jade's wrist gently.
"This is no place for children and women!" and Light Jackie hurried us out of the backdoor leading into an alley. Once outside Light Jackie yelled and quickly tossed Jade back inside and shut the door. The two of us looked to see Ratso along with the same two men from the "Bullies" episode.
"Fighting is not nice!" Light Jackie said waving a finger. This got me to do an anime fall while Ratso shouted.
"You two get Chan, I got the girl" Ratso said to his colleagues.
"Enya go!" Light Jackie said before he leapt into the air and jumped over the Dark Hand thugs. The two men ran after him while Ratso approached me.
"Enya huh? That's a pretty name" Ratso said before he suddenly grabbed my wrist and sprayed some kind of powder in my face. The next thing I knew I was knocked out cold. When I came to I realized I was in a low dim lit room similar the room Dark Jackie was held in.
"She's up" I heard Finn say. Finally when my eyes refocused I saw Finn and Chow next to me, I hissed as I was tied to a chair.
"About time you woke up" I heard a rude voice say. In another chair tied up dressed in Chow's leather jacket and glasses was Dark Jackie.
"Shut up" I growled to Dark Jackie. My comment got snorts of laughter coming from Finn and Chow.
"You got fire Enya I like that" I turned my head to look at Finn.
"How did you learn my name?"
"The kid" Chow answered me.
"Her name means Little Fire in Irish I say it fits after all she is a dragon" Finn chuckled. I simply rolled my eyes and smoke once more emitted from my nose.
"You're angering her Finn" Valmont said coming out of the shadows and into the light. The Englishman then came over to me and used a small knife to cut away my bonds and helped me up. He then guided me out of the room leaving Finn and Chow to laugh it up with Dark Jackie until Valmont returned.
"Are you hurt?" Valmont asked me taking my hands into his muscular ones to make sure my wrists weren't bruised by the ropes.
"No I'm fine" I reassured Valmont.
"Good Shendu will have my hide if you were harmed" Valmont stated before escorting me towards the office.
"Good you have her" Shendu purred as Valmont and I entered the room. "Bring her to me Valmont"
"As you wish Shendu" Valmont replied and he escorted me to Shendu. As I came to a stop in front of the Demon Sorcerer Valmont kissed my hands before he left the room.
"The nerve of that man" Shendu hissed in jealousy.
"You really do have a jealousy problem Shen" I teased looking to the imprisoned eastern dragon.
"I guess I do when it comes to another male touching one I happen to be attracted to" Shendu said but as he soon as he said this I did an anime fall.
"Sorry if that comment made you uncomfortable Enya" Shendu apologized.
"No you're fine" I reassured the Demon Sorcerer of Fire as I stood back up. "I just wasn't expecting you to finally admit you like me in that manner"
"I just now came to terms with it" Shendu said as though he were blushing. I chuckled just Valmont returned and his eyes narrowed at Shendu. I mentally did a face palm in my head. Out of all the males in this reality why did Shendu and Valmont have to be the ones I liked and now the two of them didn't like the other being near me. They both were acting like male dragons fighting over a single female, good grief. The elevator made a ding and in came Tohru with the tool box that held the other talismans and Jade clung to it.
"Valmont" Shendu called to the Englishman. The leader of the Dark Hand turned to him.
"Tie her up near me" I turned to Shendu with a WTF look on my face.
"The child must not know we know each other Enya play the part" Shendu whispered into my ear and I nodded. Valmont came to his desk and opened a drawer and took out another rope. He came over to me and I complied as he gently bound my wrists and he tied the other end onto the chair in front of us, so I was now right next to Shendu.
"You have the talismans?" Valmont asked turning to Tohru. Tohru nodded and he placed the tool box on the desk in front of Valmont.
"What should I do with her?" Tohru asked holding Jade by the scruff of her hoodie.
"Enya they got you too?!" Jade asked horrified to see me tied up.
"Tie her up over there" Valmont simply stated throwing some rope Tohru, the sumo caught it before he walked away with Jade. Jade tried to fight but Tohru merely ignored her struggling and managed to bind her wrists and tied the other end to some kind of gold antique thing. Valmont managed to open the tool box and one by one he took out the talismans. I watched as he placed each talisman into its proper hole in Shendu's stone form.
"Eight, nine, ten and eleven" Valmont counted.
"Yes I can feel my power returning" Shendu hissed gleefully.
"The statue talked you guys are working for a statue?" Jade asked.
"QUIET!" Tohru snapped at Jade. She shot the sumo a look which got me to chuckle.
"Eleven and a half" Valmont said before turning to Tohru holding his hand out.
"What?" the sumo asked.
"Where is the other half?!" both Shendu and Valmont demanded. Before Tohru could say anything Finn, Ratso and Chow came into the office.
"About time you three came back go with Tohru and find the missing half of the tiger" Valmont snapped and the four enforcers turned and headed to the elevator. I saw Jade whistling and placed one shoe over the other. Valmont looked to me and I shook my head telling him I didn't have the talisman.
"Do your wrists hurt?" Shendu whispered to me quietly enough so Valmont and Jade couldn't hear him.
"I'm fine" I reassured the demon before Shendu suddenly hissed.
"The Chans are in the building they do not possess the missing half" Shendu explained to Valmont who turned to him.
"Well it must be" he began before he frowned and turned to Jade. She smiled innocently confirming his suspicions. He then headed over to Jade and I snarled dangerously.
"Do not harm the child Valmont as you can see Enya values her" Shendu warned Valmont. Valmont simply nodded before he approached Jade finally and made a grab for her left ankle.
"Jackie!" Jade suddenly yelled as Valmont tried to pry away her left shoe off of her foot. The door to the office suddenly burst open and both Jackie's came inside. Dark Jackie leapt into the air and kicked Valmont away from Jade and he went flying backwards with Jade's left shoe in his hand. The missing half of the Tiger Talisman came out of the shoe and Valmont smirked.
"Enya hurry get away" Shendu warned and I quickly used my fire magic to burn my ropes off and I hurriedly ran away from Shendu's statue form just as Valmont got up with the last piece of the tiger.
"Stop him he has all twelve!" Jade as Valmont hurried over to Shendu.
"Stop!" both Jackie's said just as Valmont finally placed the other half into Shendu. A white light then emerged from Shendu's statue form. Both Jackie's had leapt into the air and they became one. When Jackie looked himself over Valmont turned and sneered at him.
"Game over Chan way over" Valmont then turned to look at Shendu as a fierce wind began to blow into the office. I felt my hair become loose as I watched in awe as Shendu's head moved and the talismans were absorbed into his flesh. His talons were the first to come out before his sharp clawed feet followed.
"Holy S**t" was all I could say as Shendu finally became flesh and blood. His foot smashed into Valmont's desk destroying it.
"I live!" Shendu roared and he sounded exactly like T-Rex from Jurassic Park. My eyes went wide as I eyed Shendu's muscular form and I felt a blush come to my face. He was well built for a Demon Sorcerer, he wore the green pair of shorts with his tail poking out from behind them, I had no idea what else to call them to be honest.
"At long last my powers restored" Shendu began to boast. "Speed, Invisibility, Astral Project and my personal favorite Combustion" Shendu then shot out a fireball at Jackie who pushed Jade out of the way. The fireball made a huge hole in the wall and I heard Jackie yelling as he was falling.
"Jackie!" Jade yelled after her uncle.
"Jade!" I shouted as I noticed the structure beneath her fall apart and soon she was gone.
"She will be fine Enya" Shendu said turning to me. The Demon Sorcerer then gestured with a finger to come closer to him and I did so. I came to a stop near his huge right foot. He bent down and his huge snout sniffed me and I felt my face turn red even more.
"I hope I don't smell unsatisfactory" I stated to Shendu feeling like an idiot.
"Your scent is fine my dear" Shendu reassured me as he stood back up. His tail coiled itself around my feet just as the door to the room opened and Tohru, Finn, Ratso, and Chow came into the room.
"Whoa Shendude" Finn began.
"Uh welcome to earth" Ratso added.
"Good to see you up and around" Chow finished.
"Well the office is in shambles but the lost treasure Chi Xi Hung should more than cover the cleaning deposit" Valmont stated.
"Regrettably Valmont you did not provide me with the talismans Jackie Chan did" Shendu said pointing a sharp claw like finger to him.
"A technicality" Valmont began to argue but Shendu pressed his huge face in front of Valmont's.
"Read my lips no treasure for you" he growled.
"Tohru make this dead beat pony up" Valmont commanded Tohru.
"You go bro" Finn said first.
"Yeah we're right behind ya" Ratso added.
"In spirit" Chow finished as they walked away from Tohru. Tohru looked uncertain and asked.
"But Master?"
"Do it!" Valmont hissed. Tohru didn't say anything but then he growled and approached Shendu. I closed my eyes as heard Tohru about to attack Shendu before the dragon said.
"Need I remind you I have the possess the power of levitation and super strength" I winced when I heard Tohru being thrown backwards and thrown out of the building.
"Fine treasure's yours but she isn't" Valmont walked towards me but Shendu snarled dangerously.
"Whoa" Finn said.
"Enya stays with me" Shendu hissed. "You are not suitable to be hers"
"I'm not going to let you harm her!" Valmont argued now losing his temper.
"I would never do such a thing!" Shendu snapped back and I sweat dropped as the two males argue over my well being and I was also flattered that they cared about me. Shendu then hissed before pushing me forward and I landed on the floor a few feet away as Jackie sent a cable full of electricity at Shendu and he roared in pain as the electricity hit him his body glowing. A second later the dragon turned to Jackie pissed off.
"You" he hissed in annoyance.
"He ain't even singed" Finn, Ratso and Chow said in unison.
"That gentlemen would be our cue" Valmont said nodding towards the elevator. The three enforcers didn't hesitate to high tail it but Valmont came over to me and gently grabbed my wrist into his hands. His lips came upon mine stealing a quick kiss without Shendu looking.
"We'll meet again Enya and I'll prove I am worthy to be yours" he then pulled away and he ran for it.
"Who, what are you?" Jackie asked to Shendu.
"I am the Keeper of the talismans, I am the apocalypse of which legend speaks, and I am once and for all your executioner" Shendu then glowed before he hissed out flames towards Jackie. The archeologist high tailed it out of the room while he said "Bad Day, Bad Day, Bad Day!"
"Holy S**t" I said again. Shendu then suddenly gently picked me up into his right hand. I shot the Demon Sorcerer a WTF look.
"Remember when I suggested you pretend to play the part of my enemy?" Shendu asked me.
"Yes" I replied then figuring it out. "You want to me to continue to play the charade I take it?"
"That intelligence is another thing I like about you my Little Fire" Shendu purred.
"You're going to embarrass me if you keep calling me that Shen" I teased Shendu back. Shendu chuckled before saying.
"You might want to hold on I think what I'm about do is won't agree with your stomach" he warned. I cursed at he what said knowing full well what he was about to do. So I closed my eyes as I felt him leap out of the building, I felt the air of pass through my hair making it blow and then like lightning Shendu and I were off towards China.
So Shendu takes Enya with him and the Chan Clan gotta go and get her!
