Harry Potter and the Forces of Darkness

Chapter 11: Mexico

A/N: I've been watching all of the old episodes of Jackie Chan Adventures and have been trying to piece together in a chapter also trying to decide to change or add andy additional scenes mostly with the appearance of Luse and other minor characters.

In the next chapter, I'm hoping to add

Oh and to get rid of this issue Luse, Su Li, Jade and Susan Bones and along with the other characters will be ten years old giving the Talisman Hunt 1 year long. It's part of the plan for the new development.

In any case, let the new story commence.

Harry Potter and the Forces of Darkness Chapter 11: Mexico

oOo

(Hogwarts Headmasters Office)

Albus Dumbledore a man that had decades of experience delved into manipulating people, near never-ending sources and connects and vast magical power was starting to feel for the first time in his life a new emotion bubbling to the surface.

Absolute irritation.

Albus for the past few months had scoured through every single one of his locations spells he revised to memory, tampering with his beyond repair trinkets at one point even throttling a melted globe of the earth as though demanding its response and tore books that slobbered on his office floor bloodshot eyes scanning every single word for a new tactic and at the end of the hour would result in the same failure to find his prize.

Harry Potter.

After the brief visit to the Dursleys Dumbledore had apparated back to his office in the dreading hope that his instruments might have been able to help him but soon realised that all ties to the Boy Who Lived were severed by every nook and cranny possible. His attempts at even Dark Magic in the private study of his office had ended nastily.

Elphis Dodge a close friend of his and former member of the Order of the Pheonix in the last Wizarding War had been assigned by him to infiltrate the Ministry Underage Archives which housed the location of every witch and wizard under the age of seventeen its connection tapped into their magical core should they not receive a wand already. At first, Dumbledore had been somewhat confident and smug in his action guessing that even if Harry had run away of his accord or abducted by unknown assailants, then at least the Ministry would have discreet tabs on him. Once again another failure.

Elphis Dodge had returned to the Headmasters office clutched in a shorthand a confiscated document written on a scroll a name tag in the middle was supposed written in green letters as "Harry J Potter" was supposed to be utterly blank. Snatching the scroll from Elphis Dumbledore frantically ripped it apart and tore his eyes into the manuscript until he realised the problem. There was nothing.

Every single piece that would be identified to Harry Potter was gone being his magical signature, birth certificate, the fake will even bak records were left out of existence. In anger, Albus screamed incinerating the scroll in his hands tossing it into his fireplace growling and mumbling nonsense to himself while Fakes stared at its master in slight humour.

Before a word could be elicited from the two stoic men the office door was thrust open in marched several Aurors in uniform followed by the Head of the Magical Law Enforcement Amelia Bones and the Minister of Magic himself Cornelius Fudge. Waves of rage confusion emitted from the pair Amelia was shaking her monicle was trembling by her body while Fudge resembled something akin to a bad sunburn. Albus dismissed his irritation and put on his face of the lovable, friendly grandfather.

"Ah, Cornelius and Amelia my I wasn't expecting you to vis to what do I owe the-"

"Drop the stupid act Albus I'm afraid that our visit will be anything but pleasurable" Amelia barked she brandished her wand on Dumbledore flicking it to his chair near the fireplace to which he humoured her he nearly scowled when he noticed one of the Aurors strap down Fawkes by magical restraints obviously information had been leaked on her teleporting ability.

"Now then I will ask you only one question Dumbledore...Where is Harry Potter" Amelia spat her tone making even Fudge shudder much like all the other times when he had refused to raise the budget fo the DMLE. Albus sighed dramatically.

"I do not know the whereabouts of one Harry Potter."

Silence erupted in the office even the flickering flames which were busy consuming the stolen scroll munched quietly. Amelia's eyes darkened a steady swirl of magic enticed drastically around her and Dumbledore making the others stagger back.

"You don't know" Amelia repeated as though lecturing a small child who had carried a less than nice deed. "The report I last had stated that you Albus Dumbledore had left Mr Potter with his last remaining family of Petunia Dursley and her son and Husband would say this be correct."

"Yes, my dear girl that would be correct." Albus smiled thinking the tables would turn his way if he had his alliby.

"And pray tell Dumbledore" Amelia continued her voice strained in holding back hidden fury beneath a thin line of her lips." Why did you believe that you were acceptable to place the boy with the Muggles that despised Magic and what gave you the authority to see this through."

Dumbledores eyes could be seen sparkling in the flecks of dying fire. "I thought this acceptable due to the fact the I am in the last will of James and Lilly Potter his magical Guardian which last time I checked was one of my rights to see through. I wanted the boy to have a safe and happy childhood and to not grow up with an inflated ego from the masses that would praise him; he would be perfectly safe protected by the blood wards which I conjured to shield him from Death Eaters and anything else that would intend him harm.

Amelia stepped closer to Albus her leering eyes killed his in one word. "Lies"

Dumbledore blinked. "What"

Amelia stepped back to Fudge uncoiling an envelope from her robes before presenting it to Fudge who with the gesture proceeded to read the first few lines his nasty sunburn quickly morphed to ash black piggy eyes gleamed holes into Dumbledore.

"This document in possession of the Minister" Amelia gestured behind without looking back "is the real will of James and Lilly Potter before they died entrusted to me for safekeeping before their deaths. Nobody knows this as we all believed that the times it would be a grand benefit, but I was close friends with the two of them to the point that I was thought to be a sister and even more intimate than blood.

Amelia trained her eyes back to Dumbledore saving the best part for last. "I was also the first person to receive guardianship of Harry if anything happened to them and if it weren't me then I would have been passed to the Greengrass, Longbottom, Li, Delecour, Lovegood and finally to the Weasleys and eventually if not that then to an orphanage in the wizarding world. Can anybody guess who would be the last person that poor boy would be sent to?"

One of the Aurors lowered her hood revealing spiky bubblegum hair resembling the Muggle punk rock fashion. "U-Um the Muggle Dursley family."

Amelia nodded gravely turning to Dumbledore who looked at her in horror.

"Lilly and James were always smart not to believe your deceptions old man now the blame is placed on me for not interfering when I was needed so this is how I shall proceed. In one year when my niece Susan attends Hogwarts, she will be the same age as Harry which means by wizarding law he shall also attend as it is bound by magic the only reason he doesn't would be from death. So if he does not attend... let's say there will be no place on this planet that overgrown turkey can help you escape."

With a sniff of her nose, the Head of the DMLE turned on her heel and exited the office along with her Aurors slamming the door that shook the looming painting from sleep. One gone Fudge turned to Dumbledore blustering with rage.

"This has gotten out of hand Dumbledore. The public will want me to feed them your head for this kind of action, and I'm already being accused as a weak leader of the people.

Albus said in a simpering voice."Come now Cornelius I'm sure that this is just a misunderstanding. Fudges glare if possible intensified.

"Leaving your wand at home going to work is a misunderstanding Dumbledore not leaving a baby with magic hating Muggles who could be even dead for all we know. I can't believe that I'm saying this but I am behind Amelia on this one and I swear on my vow as the Minister of Magic Ill watch your have you're rotten sould feasted on the Dementors and give your carcass to Amelia to get mauled for what its worth."

Snatching a pinch of powder from the fireplace Fudge lobbed it in not paying attention to the scroll which had been all reduced to cinders the crimson fire twisted into emerald flames as he entered bellowing his home adress before the fire devoured his form and vanished...

Albus for the first time in weeks aster all the work he had inputted finaly slumped down more in-depth in the sofa seat and slumped into silence ignoring the fleeing Elphis who escorted himseld out already and rubbed his temple from tiredness and irrtation. Nobody ever seemed to understand the bigger picture of his grand design the Grater Good was worth ny number of sacrifices for it to shine vene if one of them would be the sacrifice of a child.

Yes...For the Greater Good.

oOo

(San Fransisco)

Luse strode into the office a smirk occupying his features in reverse to the lagging of the three bufoons behind him. Valmount and Tohru slowly moved out of the demon child's way watching him perfectly throing the Rooster Talisman at one of Shendus slots it almost seemed like a magnet instantly scooting itself into place. There was a small orange glow before it was swallowed inside eliciting a soft growl.

"Finally a slice of my power restored after so long." Shendu purred

Luse smiled. "Yes, father im glad still I have a long way to go. I will make it my mission to retrieve what was stolen from you." Shendu glanced down at his heir noticing that despite his smile his son's words were lacking its usual fire. Time for a father to son chat.

"Leave us" Shendu hissed quietly to Valmont he, in turn, nodded hesitantly motioning his men out of the room not in the mood to be scorched by either fire breathers.

Luse blinked. "Dad why did you-"

"What's her name Luse" Shndu sang his face teasingly despite encased in stone would easily be grinning maliciously. In response, Luse only blushed somewhat rare considering his body could handle near volcanic temperatures how the hell did the old lizard even work it was about a girl.

"I have no idea what you mean" denied Luse puffing out his cheeks out cutely.

Shendu cackled. "Oh please, little one I had the exact faraway look whenever I was around your mother or her first impression on me. Something that she, in turn, liked to tease me for its most definitely not something you can hide even if you trained for as long as we've lived."

Luse sighed "Its Jade. Jade Chan."

"I'm assuming she is related to the target Jackie Chan."

Luse nodded. "Yeah, I dived into the old man's mind and discovered that Jade was dumped on the archaeologist's doorstep not even been made aware she had an uncle or two. In any case, I must get you and the others free not be thinking about girls."

"Doesn't mean you can't have a little fun. Tease the girl along the way I have a distinct feeling you're going to be meeting her more than once on your journey."

After Shndu stopped his teasing and giving away a few pointers, he learned from Lily they allowed the rest of the hired help back inside to plot the next step in finding the second Talisman. Shendu had searched until he saw the next Talisman located in Mexico how on earth a Chinese artefact winds up there is anybosys guess, but it was a new course of action nontheless.

"I have arranged for a personal jet to take us to Mexico" Valmont announced. Stepping away while text on his cell obviously to begin with the preparations. Normally Luse would have the Shadowkhan and have them to Shadow Travel him saving the time. Unfortunately, they can't take him somewhere that he had never been before, looks like it's going to be a long way. "We will be departing tomorrow morning be rested."

Luse yawned walking past the Enforcers who practically scrambled on top of tables to steer clear of him while Tohru stood his ground grunting in farewell. Luse waved back at his father before conjuring a portal back to his suite. Before he could get some rest; however, he heard a sobbing cry from the other side of his door.

oOo

"You stupid foreign bitch how dare you spill that drink on me. Do you know how fucking much this is gonna cost me." somebody snarled sounding a slight feminine.

Turning the handle Luse peered outside the door to see a much overweight women nearly a replicate of Marge Dursley (Something to give Aunti Po as an appatiser) her hair curled up in messy braids addorned by a disgustign pink dressing gown sporting a large coffe marked stain he could see she was loosely clutching a bottle of glass beer and her figure was losing balance with a few hiccups. He glanced at her in disgust his lips curling into a scornful sneer at her prideless state.

And there on the floor crumpled in a crying mess was a little girl. She had long ebony locks flowing over her petite form. She wore a blue sweater with matching jeans and black shoes though they were noticing scruffy and much too large. Her eyes were unknown condersing she had them covered in a futile attempt to close the dam of tears.

"I-IM so sorry mother. It was an a-accident." the girl sobbed.

The mother just continued her snarling. "The only accident I ever had was taking in a strange freak like you. Its time your kind were purged from this holy land with that the mother raised her fist while holding the half-empty bottle of booze attempting to strike her.

Like a bullet, Luse shrot from his spot breaking the door down in half from the sheer force of his speed mentally activating his armour from within its skin weakly feeling the metallic substance coating his skin in a solidfying fluid. At once his hand gripped tightly on the drunken banshees wrist before snappign it at an odd angle dropping the bottle and a unleashign a howl of pain from the bitch.

She stumbled back a few feet clutching fruitlessly at her broken arm before shaking eyeballs could meet her attacker's covered eyes. " WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU PIECE OF-"

"Die" Luse muttered before unconsiously conjuring a sword from nowhere before it found its place in the womens neck only to be swiftly ejected along with her head even though it was just a few seconds Luse swore he could feel her bones and organs cursle away the further he plade pierced there was no more sound only the dull thump of her body hitting her floor her head rlled a few feet away until it came to an abrupt stop to the hallway wall. After his adrenaline wre off and making sure there were no witesses, he ordered the Shadowkhan to vanish the body was dispposed of he croched down to the girl examining her for any harm.

"What is your name sweetheart," Luse said softly. He kept his distance not to scare her speaking softly while her gaurd was up. Not that he could blame her the poor girl must have been terrified. Afetr, a few minites of sniffles the girl removed her trembling hands until Luse was greeted by dazzling ocean blue irises they matched her perfectly especially with her outfit, must have been a prefered colour. "Its Su sir. Su Li"

A click went through Luses haead faintly recalling the name Su Li from his past life at Hogwarts, the girl that was near the top of her class and one of the few Ravenclaws that did not bully or denominate him when they had found out he was a Parselmouth or when he was placed in the TWT. It was a refreashing change to meet her face to face the potions before clouded his thoughts making him never officially introduce himself. Glanceing to his sword which was completely coated in black a few wisps of darkness he could feel were radiatign from it visnished into smoke.

(A/N: Nothingness Constructs or also known as Void Constructs. The sur ha the power to turn nothingness into tools objects weapos ans other items, create semi living contructs."

"You have no reason to be afraid of me Sue. I promise I will never hurt you. My name is Luse Guizu, and if you let me, I shall take care of you henceforth." Luse smiled his face still clouded by the armours visor while he was gently extending a hand her way. Su only stared blakly at him for a few seconds before her face cracked into a cry one more before she launched herself at her new companion tackling them both to the ground she sobbed even harder into his chest wetting his shirt not that he really cared only able to keep her close as he petted her hair softly. After a while, her sobs morphed into small snores until he took a peek to her face noticing she had fallen asleep. Carefully he picked her up bridal style he took her into his room placing her onto her bed pulling the covers over her up tugging a few locks of hair from her face before making his way to an armchair propping himself down to reccolect his thoughts.

He had killed somebody again although just like before the death did not hold him down with remorse ironically feeling nothing towards his actions. But it did raise many questions like why was the last line of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Li trapped with that horrible woman in America and what happened to her parents. This was just something he would need to talk to her about in the morning. Resting his head back he sheathed his armour meltign away back into his skin purple light radiated from his form until he was back to normal until he managed to drift to sleep.

(The Next Morning) Su Li POV

The girl known as Su Li awoke from her slumber sitting herself up but never once opening her eyes the dream she had last night had been far too great. She had dreamed that a man called Luse Guizu had rescused her from her foster mother after she had nearly once again been beaten to death and had decided to taker her in. She giggled and released a light blush on her porcelain skin to the fact she was saved by a knight in shining armour. Sadly all good things were to come to an ened.

She would open her eyes back and and be curled u on the floor bundled in the spare blanlets she could find after her "mother" had refused to let her sleep on the bed like an equal human being. She would be forced yet again to cook, clean and slave until somebody real would finallly cross her path. With that Su opened her eyes.

If it wasnt for the fact that her saviour was currently snoring loucged out on the armchair opposite her, she would have cried for joy. Despite being very young, Su had come to terms that the world she lived in was for the better term of the word unfair and that to expect imrpvment to jusyt happen was near impossible. Swinging herself to her feet her gaze never left the young boys face as she crept closer and closer until she was only a few inchs from his body examing him from head to toe.

He was quite tall for his (she had to guess he was the same agae as her being 10) his hair was shaggy easily reaching his back his skin unlike hers was tanned and sunkist like an islander. She gasped at the fact he must not have been entirely human if the lopsided tail and wings and small horns laid out on the chairs arms were anything to go on,despite the fact that she should have been freaked out that he looked diffrent she held no fear in her heart instead gingerly traced a finger nail on each a sileknt giggle elicte from her when they twitched a little. Then she noticed his third appendage of horns crooked like a ram but aimed directly forward like he could charge and imaple somebody with ease. Once again feeling a little braver she began to carass his head joying the soft silky feel of his scalp until her fingernails caught just behind the horns when-

"Puuuurrrrr~" was what rumbled from the sleeping boy. Su bliked for a few seconds till she couldnt help it and brust into a fullblown laughter not caring that the saviour that had rescued her was waking up gingerly rubbing the sleep from his eyes sraring blankly at much happier girl grovvling on the floor in laughter.

(Luse POV)

Luse was woken from a pleasant feeling on his head like he was being massged ironically by an angel. The first thing he saw was the girl he took in was laughing on the ground not sure hy he stood up popping his muscles back into place like his arms, legs, head and then moving onto to his tail win-

Wait

He must have forgotten to hide them last night so she must have seen them when she woke up. How could he have been so foolish as not to have kept them hidden? Noticing that Su was aware he was among the living again, she was wholly slumped back into silence gazing at his face strangly like waiting for him to say something. So he asked the only thing that came naturally.

"So...how did you sleep last night Lady Li," Luse asked his face remaiend stoic filing away his thoughts and worries for the time being. Su cocked her head to the side cutely not understanding his more formal manner.

"What do you mean by "Lady" Li.

Luse was shocked not beliving that she didnt know of her lineage. "You must understand your blood status millady. You are Su Li the last witch of The Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Li; you are a witch.

Su blinked...then blinked again. "Im a what."

"You are a witch."

Su frowned crossed her arms over her chest replying hotly "That's, not a very nice thing to say about a lady."

Luse rubbed a spot beind his neck oddly feeling like Hagrid the night he took him from the Dursleys and attempted to explain. "This might take some time for me to explain so ill start with the basics you see..."

And so Luse began to explain to Su everything he knew about the Wizarding World from Diagon Ally to Hogwarts even about the Ministry of Magic. He alsi told her of the catagorys like Muggles, Muggleborns, Halfblood s and Purebloods The Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses that made up the chairs on the ministry and eventually about Voldemort.

Sadly Su barely knew anything about her biological parents her foster mother (Abigail Silvers) had adopted her from an orphanage in San Fransico at least a decade ago. Abigail had from that point t belittled her cursing the child for performing in her own words "unholy acts" such as levitating furniture and talking to animals.

Bending down to one knee, Luse brought his hands to grope Su's dainty ones her blush resembling a tomato at his actions. Luse spoke earnestly "Lady Su Li I Luse Guizu would like the have the pleasure to introduce to you your world. If at any point you dont wish to be by my side then we can part ways right now. That disgusting human for a mother Abigail is gone never again shall she lay a hand on you but if you stand by me I shall make sure nobody else will dare give you a second look." he finishished his hand tighened slightly envboking a gold chain to dimly light coiled around them only dissapearin if the other gave her answer.

Su stared at the boy her shyness completely evaporating instead turned into confusion. He made it sound as though he would be a burden or a curse to be around yet he didn't understand. So she responded to him the only way she knew how to reward somebody.

She kisssed him on the cheek

Luses eyes bulged to saucers a new type of warmth fuelled his cheaks and everything else this new elation gave him shivers. This was not, of course, the first thime that he had kissed somebody obviosuly he had spent a brief time with Ginny he never truely felt any love or passionnbehind their time together it was always bland tactless and plain fake. But now...

"Mr Guizu I dont think that you know what it is you have done for me you ahve singlehandly saved me from a life of sheer hell and torture and when nobody else bothered to help me you came and shielded me like a true hero.

Luse stared back his glossy eyes narrowed sharply. "You realise that I am a demon and not a human being right. And i might have jusy saved you to take advantage of you not to mention last night I commited murder." he knew he was digging a figurative hole for himself, but he wanted to give the girl a choice instead of thrusting all tis upon her.

The pettite jappanese girl just smiled using her free hand to scratch her cheek where here blush still remaiend lightly. "Oh, and why would you need to save me from taking advantage you didn't do it last night or when I was sleeping. Also, I knew you couldn't be a normal human when I saw these. " Su explained her hands were rummaging softly on his horns smirking at Luse's grumbling look his excitment at having his head rubbed again. "From what I've seen in life the world is full of monsters your the first real human I've met in a long time."

Luse scoffed playfully." Take that back."

And theye both laughed just two children who had suffered misreble childhoods laughed together dismissing their past anguish, their hands were still entertwined around each other waiting for the contract to end. Luses nodded obviosuly the girl before him wasnt going to take no for an answer. "Alright, then I'll ask one more time. Will you Su I accompany me Luse Guizu to the Wizarding Worl and help you make your mark on the world.

Su smiled prettily. "I would love to Mr Guizu."

The gld chain flashed once more before dissapearing from existance Luse clicked his fingers conjuring a plain travveling robe before waling to Su draping her in it securly to her bodyb frame to mssing her dazzling eyes filled with wonder and curiosity.

Just like he once had.

"Will I ever be able to do that," Su asked eagerly

Luse smiled. "That and so much more". He rose his hand in the corner of the room his tattoo briefly glowed red beofore a crimson red portal opened in the corner ready to transport them to Diagon Ally, Su's eyes widened once more from either the fact that he had opened a hole in the fabric of time or space or that he nottook from seemingly nowhere a clock of the darkest black.

Su Li peaked her head cautiosly. "Where are we going."

Luse tosed his head in her direection amber eyes met saphire blue ones he smirked teasingly brining out his hand. "Come with me and find out..."

oOo

(1 hour later)

Valmont, the Enforcors and Luse along with his brand new companion, were lounging out on the private jet on their way to Mexico city. From Shendus vision he has located the Ox Talisman where it was last described in an ancient temple belived by the past inhabitats to be a relic brought down to earth blessed by the countrys holy men. He supposed that in those desperate times you just had to have something to belive. Before the departure he had introdiuced his workmates to the beautiful jappanese child who shyly muttered a greeting while crouched behind Luse's figure, the other mumbled a small greeting not wanting to sound rude at least in the precense of the demon child.

Landing a few yards away from the enormous temple the Drak Hand scurried out stretching limbs, from backs to arms and in the case of Luse wings uncomfortably uncoiled painfully he realised that he much preferd them out in the open instead of being behind a glamour or tucked away frequently he have just flown beside the jet and enjoyed the wonders of the bright mexican sun, but he decided to stay in the Jet to keep Su happy and safe. He laughed sparing a glace her way as she twirled in wonder to being in a new place. She seemed so much cuter when she was wearign a smile instead of her shy persona. Hed have to fix that.

The temple was in the shape of a pyramid kinda like the ones in Eygypt although it was obviosuly crafted to be a prototype version either in respect to its archutecture or mocking it not that it really mattered the sooner he got the Talisman, the sooner he could go back to San Fransisco and treat the girlnow clutching on his arm tightly to a well needed a derved shopping trip. He saw the entrance noticing that Jackie Chan was staring at something in his hands; he could see his figure fade into the darkness.

"He's in the pyramid lets move," Finn stated stashing away his binoculars turning his attention to the rest of the crew before he was stopped by a man similar to Ron Weasley a newcomer who just joined the ranks.

"D-Dont tombs have mummies in them sir." he stuttered

"Only in Egypt" Finn deadpanned attempteing to start his way there before he was interupted once more.

"Mayeb we should just wait until Chan makes his way back out of there." h bagan againchuckling weaky ceasing when he realised nobody joined in instead giving him strange looks. "And just nab the Talisman when he gets back."

Luse sighed befored before he glanced back before turning the opposite way in the direction of the town. "You idiots are boring me immensly besides the Talisman is no longer there."The Enforcors were gaping liked slacked flish Tohru stepped forward yet his face remained neutral.

"How can you be so sure," asked Tohru sceptically

Luse just pointed to his eyes that glowed a tint of blue. "Sniper eyes my dear sumo. I have been centuries since the Talismans were scattered. I have the power to sense them, and I assure you the Talisman is no longer there. Not suprising in that time span it could have been taken hundreds of years ago." Rummaging into his cloak, he brought out a poster that he took from the town nerby framinng of a man dressed as a sumo wrestler sporting a mask in bugundy and gold linens.

"You wanna watch a wrestling fight, but everybody knows its fake," Ratso asked stupidly.

Luse for his best efforts scunched his foreheead in exhasperation before snapping his fingers making the lawbreakers teapped in the sandy terrian besides Tohru and Su Li. They tried to squirm of course even some sunkern down lower than the rest could only muffle silenced profanities. Backign a bag for himself and Su Li who giddly enjoyed the piggy back from Tohru riding on his shoulder much to his gruntled expression set off onto the main road in search of one El Tohru Fuerte.

"You can thank Ratso for his stupidity. We shall meet you back here when we have retrived the Talisman. Luse cocked a head back innocently.

"Oh and please be mindfull of the scorpians I belive your in their natural territory."

oOo

The main town of Mexico as expected was pleasant brand new smells filled his nostrils the booming mariachi band slightly clotted his eardrums hypnotically matched by the sizzling scents of food stands and trinkets sold in the sides of the streets. He saw Tohru wandering away in his investigation to obtain infomation on any supernatural occurances gently propping the giddy girl to the ground.

Luse lingered around the towns square watching with a smile as Su had gone to watch the mariachi band, he decided to take her under his wing and if she wanted to offer her protection as part of his many titles or he could ask Shendu if he could provide her security. There was also the matter of getting her recognsised to the Wizarding World and presenting her into the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Li.

Luse tore a poster from a wall scanning the posed figure. Much like Tohru, the guy was huge his body that of a body builder taking evident pride in his reputation indeed "El Tohru Fuerte" would be a tricky customer...if he was still human. He noticed his features were hidden behind a mask the forehead held the symbol of Oyx. That had to be where the next Talisman was located. He didn't know what to think in all hnesty the man used the power of a magical item to obtain glory instead of relying on his true strength, guess it was a life lesson hes going to learn soon. He was about to head to the stadium when he overheard a conversation and a voice catching his ears.

"Eww, are you asking me on a date."

Luse perked at that voice before quickly vanishing from sight into the shade out of sight from the town people until his eyes caught two. There she was again a few feet from Su, and the mariachi band her black slightly blue tinted hair glistened in the hot sun quite perfectly she appeared upset at siomething the mexican boy has said to her, Time o make his introduction.

Luse transfigured his clothing to a simple pair of ebony shorts, sandals and a white sleeveless shirt. After checking himself in a conjured mirror, he made his way to the two bickering children.

"I bet he's nothing" Jade retorted back pointing to one of the market places where Jackie was purchasing a couple of sun hats. " See that guy over there in the blue, thats my Uncle Jackie Chan the Jackanator."

Paco just stared and sniggered. "The mouse man."

"I wouldn't let appearances deceive you, young man, there is always more to the eye."

The two children turned to the third recipient walking towards them his snowy white hair groomed to reach his back adorned with sunkist tanned skin and golden eyes twinkling in the harsh sun. He a local or any child they were used to being the extravagant appearance. The two children had revered reactions to this.

Jade, for the most part, was forced to try keeping her face from blushing her heart thumping a little faster than it was supposed to. Where in the hell was his coming from she was Jade Chan the well renowed (at least to everybody that had met her) tomboy a girl that didnt waste time with petty things like love, crush and more horrifyingly boybands? Here this boy was she could have sworn that he flashed her a friendly smile to which a little steam tooted from her ears.

Paco, on the other hand, started to build up a giant bubble of jealousy matched by his teeth crunching scowl he didn't bother to hide. He had tried his best to impress the forigner I order to ask her out to the match tonight even going so far as to call her beautiful and yet here comes this freaky guy who swooned her with just a damn smile — time to teach him why he would become the great El Toro Fuertes apprentice.

"I dont know who you are, but you better get out of here and let me chat up the puta before I show you my wrestling prowess forastero" Paco sneered not thinking that the boy whould understand the last part in spanish. Sadly...

It only took a few seconds for Paco to realise that his feet were no longer touching the ground nor that his air supply was harshly cut of due to the fact the forastero he had insulted had him in a tight choke hold soft golden eyes hardened immensly. The boy sighed irritated at the blatatnt disrespect from somebody so young leaning closer to the boy he dropped his voice low enough for al three to hear yet only two would understand.#

"Háblame a mí o a la jovencita así de nuevo chico y te mutilar tu cuerpo antes de que te duermas. Ahora Dime dónde puedo encontrar el Tohru Fuerte " (Talk to the young lady like that again boy or to me, and I will mutilate your body before you fall asleep. Now tell me where I can find El Tohru Fuerte.)

The kid trembled violently either from the fact a foreigner knew how to speak his language or the fact he was threatened in such a dark manner. " ¿Qué quieres con mi héroe" (What do you want with my hero?)he questioned timidly.

Luse stared back his features never changing."Nada de tu preocupacion, nino vote." ("None of your concern little .")The response is a vigerous bobbbing of the head and a steady trickle of piss with that he roughly tossed Paco back to the ground he scarmbled to his feet recovering from his shock and loss of pride sprinted away dissapwaring behind a streeet crner from sight.

"Are you ok young miss," Luse asked kindly his voice much softer in comparison to earlier. " I swear that some young men nowadays don't know how to treat a lady."

Jade blinked. "Err yeah I'm ok though I doubt that I would be classed as a lady."

Luse chuckled lightly. "Oh is that because of the sneakers and hoodie. I think its kinda cute the whole tomboy look suits you well."

Jade blushed madly. Nobodyhad ever really complimented her clothing prefrences her mother and father had tried year after year to stick her in frilly dresses and attire suited to "girls" but she only had a liking to guys clothing feeling much ore at ease. She didn't really care much about other peoples opinions but being complimented every now and then would always be welcome. "T-Thank you I guess."

Luse studied Jade silently before him activating his Mage Sight discretely to grasp at her Aura which startled him for a few seconds. Her magical core and chi were remarkably high for smebod her age very impressive for just an ordinary human, and it glowed bright gold wedged between onyx black and eggshell white swirled together In summery she could walkk down the path of darkness or light or be a practitionar of both with the necessary training. Whichever she would choose would be a huge impact. Before another word could be said Jade was distracted by a remarkably big hat plopped on her head from behind shielding her eyes from view. She turned to her uncle who also adorned a large hat sporting a smiling.

"Jackie don't be rude I was just talking to somebody," Jade said indignantly.

Jackie blinked. "You were talking to somebody, but there's nobody here Jade. Good thing I got that hat to keep the heat outta your face."

Tearing the hat off Jade swirled around looking for the boy that helped her, unfortunately, he had disappeared from sight as though he had never been there. Jade was confused to the extreme not believing she made him up. Still, she secretly hoped she would meet that boy again. As Jade turned to follow her Uncle away deeper into the street, Luse was perched like a crow overlooking her his mind abuzz with the feelings stirred up inside...

Shaking himself out of hsi mental daze Luse jumped to the ground unnoticed by the public making his way over to Tohru who was cloaked from sight suprisingly well for somebody with his body build away from Jackie Chan.

"Yo big guy we have our lead for tonight I want you to go pick up the rest of the crew and have then situated around the Wrestlin g Stadium I dont want this faker turning tail and running from his," Luse ordered although his tone expressed respect enough to get a grunt from Tohru. Luse strode over to Su who was sitting at a fountain gaing into the clear water with the tiny sparkles of coins for a wishing well.

"Have any wishes need casting Su?" Luse asked resting a few inches away from her.

Su shook her head adorning a small smile. "I have my freedom and a friend to share it with. I could ask for anything more than that."

Luse chuckled his gaze torn between his new friend and the still water. "Very well..."

oOo

As the day decended and the night arose over the mountain sideit wasnt very hard for hm to find the wrestling stadium it illuminated the entire town being its biggest attraction. Luse morphed his apperance only extending his height to an average adult size while conjuring himself a black mask with red outslines the eyeholes were even covered giving the illusion he couldnt see. He made his way inside casting a Notice Me Not charm around himself to bypass the ticket booth and security passing by numerous hulking men in various masks he kept his eyes out for El Tohru until he saw him a good diffrence away the boy he saw earlier seemed to be getting an autogragh. Cancelling the spell the boy immediatly catched him in sight tugging on the macho man's pant legs and pointing his way.

Luse strode forward towards the pair. "I take I that your fanboy delivered my message to you, Mr Fuerte. Luse said his voice evenly slightly muffled by the fabric of the mask."

El Toro Fuerte stood much taller than he was muscular with a stocky build his attire was a black tank top yelllow spandex pansts and black boots with red linen. "I see that you are the one that issued the challange Mr...

Luse giggled a little more menacingly than he shoudl hve to the luchador. "My true name is of no importance, but for the fight between us I am known as "Blanc Diablo."

El Toro shivered lightly. " White Devil"

"Catchy don't you think," Luse said walking closer to the wrestler before muttering just loud enough that his fanboy didn't hear him. "I know that all these fights are a ruse from the power that the Talisman provides you, Mr Fuerte, I suggest you hand it over to its rightful owner and win your matchs through your own strengths from this point. If not then ill will not only beat you in this match I shall disgrace your very name. Your call"

El Toro just glared back his confusion at how this steanger had managed to unseal his greatest profit maker well hidden. "El Toro never removes his mask."

Luse smiled even if nobody could see it."Oh good, I was hoping that you would give me a good fight."

(1 Hour later)

"LA ÚLTIMA PELEA DE LA NOCHE ENTRE EL CAMPEÓN REINANTE EL TORO FUERTE-"

(THE LAST FIGHT OF THE NIGHT BETWEEN THE REIGNING CHAMPION EL TORO FUERTE)-

El Toro Fuerte was draped in a crimson cape proclaiming his great pride and ambiant honour to the roaring crowd. His eyes drew daggers at his opponent just like a bull read to march down its prey. Tohru Ratso Finn Chow and Su were alll perched with the rest of the spectators shouted out "boooos" not been allowed to swear near Su considering the beatdown they would recive if it wasnt from Luse then from Tohru whpo had befriended the child.

After the whole fiasco with Pariah, Luse had treated Tohru to a peace offering before the departure over a grape soda they had shaken hands and exchanged peaceful words about each other becoming fast friends. Luse had explained to Tohru that he and Su had alot of potential in the mystic arts and after his search for the remaining Talisman salong with freeing his family from the Netherworld had offered to train both of them, Tohru had been a little evasive in the subjectalthough his pondering expression had been evident to his answer.

"Y el nuevo Challenger por primera vez, Blanc diablo" (And the new challanger for the first time ever, Blanc Diablo)

Luse stepped up into the arena an awkward silence fuelled the room with a few sniggers of amusement not suprising considering the size diffrence between the two fighters. Luse had dressed in a simple pair of black boxers; barefooted wore only a mask covering his eyes in eggshell white.

"Ambos luchadores listos... LUCHA"

(Both wrestlers ready...FIGHT)

Luse closed his eyes before entirely blocking his magical core preventing his magic circulating through his veins. He had spent his time in the Netherwolrld sparing with his uncles and aunts who despite weakened were still demons hadn't been holding back on him. Going full force to Fuerte would probably kill him. The demonic attribute of Mountain given to him by aunty Po didn't just make him nearly indestructible but outstandingly strong at least substantial enough to parry and strike uncle Dai Gui so just half that amount would be more than enough. It would be a fight between a goliath and a mighty mouse.

Immediately El Toro charged much like bulldozer arms raised and hammered towards Luse. The youngest demon just smiled simply allowing the big fist to collide with his own stopping them in their tracks resulting in a shivering struugle for the luchador to get free. Luse could feel the magically powered muscles stimulating itself through El Tohru although even with that a bull was nothing compared to the his natural abilities, after the first drop of sweat escaped the cheating wrestler Luse grabbed both hands onto El Toros left arm and begun to swing him around like a human lasso the crowd watched inn awe and spinning eyes mesmerized that their amed hero was manhandled like a ragdoll.

CRASH

El Toro slammed viciously into one of the arenas posts slowly picking himself up while Luse stood watching him waiting for him to make the next move. Time and time again El Toro tried to beat Luse down with a flurry of punch or changing his pattern to a one monster blow to which Luse just sidestepped inches away from contact or parried the fists away with ease. Growing tired quickly Luse waited for El Toro to become exhausted before ramming his elbow shattering his jaw and making him skid to the corner of the ring.

"Give up El Toro you have lost this fight spectacularly even with my father's power. I'm giving you one last chance; you can give me the Talisman and fight me the rest of the way with honour or ill destroy you and that pride under the mask." Luse threatened.

El Toro like a dog snarled maliciously positioning himself into a charging stance before launching himself at Luse his form shifted a little in pain after already the medium beating he took. Mentally rolling his eyes Luse reeled his right leg behind him coiling a slither of power building up waiting until El Toro was inches away from grabbing him until, he released his foot directly into El Toro's gut in slow motion the cheating wrestler sputtered up a hefty chunk of blood as his body shot back like a cannon ball his form obliterated the corner post and into the audience-and collided right into the Enforcers who had just returned for a hot dog and soda resulting in a messy dog pile.

A few seconds slipped by for the gobsmacked referee to recover until he sprung over to El Toro and gave him the standard knockout count. He barely even twitched.

"Y en un sorprendente giro de los eventos el ganador de la pelea de esta noche es BLANC DIABLO. (And in a surprising turn of events the winner of tonight's fight is BLANC DIABLO.)

The referee shrieked lifting Luse's hands in the air the crowd paused a little while longer before they deafened the walls. Luse glanced at the crowd spotting Paco and flashed him a demonic grin the child simply blubbered before pushing through the crowd in tears giving one last look to his dishonoured hero before hoisting the exit doors free.

"Como el vencedor Blanc diablo no eliminará la máscara de el toro fuertes y la dignidad.

(As the victor Blanc Diablo shall no remove El Toro Fuertes mask and dignity.) Luse nodded he made his way over the audience making him a clear path till he reached his fallen opponent ignoring the squeals of pain from Ratso, Finn and Chow roughly grabbed with one hand on Fuertes spandex lifting him a few inches from the ground making him flutter awake.

"P-Please don't do this" El Toro whispered though his voice cracked from his shattered organs. Luse just stared back not bothering to reply before he swiped the mask from his face secretly detaching the Talisman resulting in the mask being ripped in two.

"Just know I gave you and out" Luse muttered flashing Fuerte a bright glare before changing to a smile at Su who zoomed over like a bullet as she bounded up and down onto his arm her eyes practically gleaming in amazement.

"You were so awesome Luse, I had no idea that you were that strong" she's said excitedly. Luse just smirked shrugging his shoulders in a cocky posed. Tohru just scoffed amusedly.

"Alright that makes two to our collection only ten more to go." with that the Dark Hand left the cheering townspeople, a cheater without honour and a child without a role model. What they didn't notice was the glazed eyes of a certain Chinese girl who swore she had saw the same eyes of brilliant gold just like the boy with snowy white hair had. Snapping out of her thoughts she turned to her Uncle who was pondering the event he had just witnessed.

When they had come to the fight, they had assumed with the information they had gathered that the Ox Talisman might be in this town and by some miracle they had been correct. Jade had pointed out on one of the numerous posters scattered around the village for El Toro Fuerte that his mask represented an Ox theme though everybody simply assumed this was linked to bring the animal pride. They had witnessed one of the matches before "Blanc Diablo" had taken the stage noticing that the reigning champion never seemed to take hits or any strength limitations besides slightly slow due to the bulky physique. Another thing was that they saw the white-haired boy take the Talisman even in the match he was heard demanding that the Talisman be returned to him. They needed answers.

"We can't afford to waste another Talisman Jade," Jackie said. "We need to catch up to this Blanc Diablo and try to convince him to give us the Talisman freely."

"I'm not so sure Jackie" Jade spoke in disbelif playing with the white strig of her hoodie."I mean you saw how strong that guy was even without any magica mojo giving him a power boost. And in the match, it didn't seem like he was interested in the fight at all."

Jackie nodded grimly though his decisionwasattached to his face. "While that may be true if he is after the Talisman as well good or bad we need as much infomation as possible to report back to Captain Black. Now let us go." Jade sighed following close behind as they shot out of the building both eyes roming over the nearly deserted town furiously turned on her heel left to a pathway up a large hill not even realising that she had done or even why. Squinting her eyes, she could make out a speck of swaying white.

" Hey, Mr Diablo sir stop."

Luse swirled around a bemused smile on his face, and he allowed Chan to catch up to him. Jackie after catching his breath extended a hand.

"Jackie Chan sir."

Luse smiled meeting him halfway. "Charmed Mr Chan if you wish for an autograph I'd be more than happy to-" Jackie shook his head vigorously before pointing to Luse's hand which clutched the Talisman.

"Mr Diablo you have in your possession an incredibly powerful magical artefact. It may come as a surprise that magic is real, but I swear that-"

Jackie was cut off when he stared blankly at the swirling crackle of lilac electricity arcing over Luses hand only for it to be acompanied by a swirling azure flame before it corked high into the air like a bullet exploding into a shower of blue and purple sparks Jackie srared silently in a tug of war between disbelif and shock while Jade gaze had something to match her stary eyed complextion. The demon of nothingness stood watching the remaining sparks fade to nothing despite the fact he combined two attributes; this was nothing (no pun intended) to what he could do when he wasnt holding back. He could only guess that he was putting a rough twenty five percemt into that attack.

"How about we get a few facts straight starting with the introduction. My true name is Luse Guizu I am already aware of magic and am even a sorcerer of high power. I am also aware of the existence of the Talismans and have been collecting them over these past few months with the help of the Dark Hand." Luse paused already seeing the man's angry glance. "Belive me it wasnt my first choice but they are merely a tempoary alliance; it was their connections that helped me retrive the Talisman from your Uncles shop."

" You were the one that attacked my Uncle. " Jackie hissed venomously. When the two of them returned to the antique store, the place appeared normal and yet his Uncle had been passed out from

Luse shook his head calmly though his voice became a little trained by the heavy guilt swelling in his chest."I gave him the same warning just like everybdy else much like the mucha libre you just saw, and like him, he refused to cooperate with my request."

Jackie roared jumping midair hammeringa fist to Luses face resonating a ringing smack...to which Jackie backed away discreeetly waftiging a bruised hand behind his back Luse blinked rubing his cheek imprinted with a red hand mark. "Ok, i suppose I deserve that Just so your aware I sparred with people that are less than human so thats kinda the equivalent of a pimp slap." Luse shrugged while Jackie covered Jade's ears wondering what a "pimp" was.

It took a few minites in silence until Jackie managed to calm down until his anger subsided into curiosity." Why are you after the Talismans you cant seriosuly be after more power than you already possess are you." Jackie demanded dubiously. Luse sighed snapping his fingers o conjure himself a crimson portal at his feet the darkness latching onto his feet slowly as quicksand started to swallowing him whole.

"A very noble reason you would understand Mr Chan I wish to unearth a piece of forgotten history and restore it to its rightful place in the world. Surely as an archaeologist, you can understand that." Luse said the darkness was reaching up to his knees coiling around any available piece of flesh it could grasp.

Jade for the first time stepped from behind her Uncles legs her eyes trying to meet Luses. "You told us as to why you are after the Talismans but what do you get from all this." Luse slowly looked at Jade the darkness now leering towards his stomach and elbows tucked into his side.

"My dear lady what I would get at the end" Luse started his voice edgy trying to be careful with his words. "Is the loving family I was denied a literal lifetime ago, people that I so quickly cherished into my heart who would be free from their confinement.

"So their what in jail," Jade asked puzzled.

Luse smiled sheepishly. "In that place nor bars or chains, I'm afraid the worst type of prison of all in my opinion." Bobbing his head down he saw that the black swarm has nearly sunk him whole only his shoulders and head remained. He'd be back in San Fransisco hopefully hed have the day to take Su into Diagon Ally and get her a wand from Baileys probably one that wasn't traced by the ministry he had a lot of plans in mind to help his new friend/ward evolve and their floundering idiots needed to be kept out of the loop also he still needed to find the man responsible for ho sent her to that mental bitch Silvers. Shrugging himself out of his thoughts Lse brought himself back to the living.

"Well, it has most certainly been a pleasure to meet my competition at long last." Luse exclaimed cheerily."But I'm afraid this is the moment we part ways till I snatch another Talisman. I'm sure that we shall meet again Mr Chan ."

Luses attention swept a friendly smile to Jade. "And I most certainly hope that I run into you again cutie." Jade went a little numb at that not knowing if the red in her face was another blush coming on or from the blistering light from the fading portal which collapsed into the cooling ground.

Jackie and Jade despite that they knew he wasn't coming back again continued to stare at the ground where the portal had vanished into thin air each contemplating the scenario they were going o have to fight against. They knew the hunt for the Talismans were going to be tricky, but they never knew that the secret weapon of the Drak Hand organisation was a child sorcerer who could destroy men at least twice his size, nearly invincible and trained in arcane arts tossed the tables in Valmonts corner.

oOo

A/N: Yay I'm finally fucking done. Its been taking me a long time to figure out how to plan this chapter and if I should or not include any new players to the board just yet. I'm planning on doing some more language translations in the future although if you didn't like this thing I tried then message me and I'll try something different to add or take away.

Goodbye my little minions
