Okay, so the reference in the last chapter was the A1-13. It is used a lot in Pixar. It was the room number of the art school they attended. You would often see it in their movies, such as the licence plate number in toy story. This is the climax, I know I'm sorry! I would be writing more for this story if I had more planned. But in all honesty, a story can only go so long. I'm surprised at the stories with a simpler plot than this that can go up to 70+ chapters.

Here's what I have planned for after the story. I will start writing a fanfic dealing with Battle of the Planet's or as Japanese fans go by, Gatchaman. It's a romantic fanfic with a new character Thea the Peacock and Jason the Condor. I'm also thinking that when I'm able to I'll write a sequel. But it depends on my availability. If any of you want me to get it done faster, leave a review. Thanks for all the enjoy-ability for writing for you.

One more thing, (Hehe, Uncle quote) the next chapter would most likely be the last chapter. There may be an epilogue, if I think of one. Thanks again, and enjoy another chapter.

Chapter 13

Drago jumped across a building and used his hand to dodge another heat blast from Jade. Along with him, the former queen also dodged the attacks and flipped onto the same roof as the scaled man. She ran alongside of him and worked past the several other buildings before being forcefully pulled away from the path.

The now corrupted Jade, flew past them as Drago and the queen held their backs to the wall, with an arm over them. They looked over to him, shortly after Jade passed. They saw the Captain of the guard breathing heavily as he watched her leave.

"We better get someplace safe." He said with a heavy Chinese accent.

Jade looked at him confused. "Captain, why do you sound like...?" she trialed off.

He let out a rough sigh and pulled off his mask showing the former archeologist. As they tried to get over the shock of the truth, Ice found them. He wasn't that surprised when he saw Jackie, but one thing had to be set up to keep him from getting confused.

"You're Highness. This may seem a little un-needed right now but we all will get confused if we don't make this distinction." Ice said.

She rolled her eyes. "I'm not a queen. That was when I was under the influence of the Talismans."

"Exactly, you're not the queen anymore." He explained further. "We'll just have to call you something else. Sorry to say, but Gem is taken by the other world's Jade."

"Amber."

Drago turned to look at her from his look out. "Amber?"

Amber smiled. "I got the idea from the identity Jade made up."

He nodded then looked out to the sky once again. He glared at the lack of signs of the one he loved, but his eyes also showed large amounts of concern. He turned back to the group when he heard Jackie begin to speak.

"We need to get her attention." He said.

"What we need to do is get me close enough to talk to her." Drago stalked over to them. "I know that if I can only talk to her, I can get her back before the Talismans completely take over. Once I get them away, we need to destroy them." He folded his arms. "These Talismans were never to be used by humans in the first place."

Everyone agreed with him. A simple, yet effective plan was made. Jackie and Ice would get her attention and slow her down long enough for Amber and Drago to get behind her. Amber would help Drago get enough force and momentum to catch hold of her and hopefully talk to her.

Moments later, they waited for Jade to show up. She flew past in an angry furry searching relentlessly for them. Jackie nodded to Ice, and they began their first part of the plan. They each fulfilled their part well, guiding her to where Drago and Amber were.

The Demon and former queen waited. Watching carefully, they readied themselves for the battle at hand. Amber looked over to him and blinked.

"Drago, what if you can't reason with her? What if we can't get her to let go of the Talismans like I couldn't?" She asked with concern. "What if the only way to stop her is-"

"Don't say it." He growled as he cut her off. "I'll bring her back. It won't have to resort to that."

She nodded and looked back to the sky. A bright red flare flew up to the black emptiness of the sky. "There's the signal. Ready?"

He nodded, and leapt off the building. Amber followed and took the chance to guide him to the best areas where he could get enough speed to catch Jade off guard. They went further into the city where the higher buildings were. They climbed higher until they were high above the corrupted agent.

"Ready to go?" Amber asked once again.

He nodded and jumped up into the air. From there Amber jumped up and grabbed his hand. She spun around with him, increasing the momentum. Once at the optimum speed, she released him and landed on the building below her. She watched, worried as Drago soared through the air with an unmatchable speed.

Jade continued to fight off Ice and Jackie with the Talismans, not knowing the attacker behind her. She felt the force hit her and push her to the ground. She growled and tried to free herself from the scaly arms that held her down.

"Jade, listen to me. You need to let go of the Talismans." He urged.

She pushed against his arms with all the force of the Bull, which he used all his strength to keep hold of her. "I will never listen to a demon like you."

He gritted his teeth. "Please, Jade listen to me."

By this point, he was holding her shoulders and kept her to the ground. Her red demonic eyes pierced into his as her glare increased. He raised one hand to her cheek and rubbed his thumb on her cheek bone.

"Please, Jade. Don't do this. Don't leave me like this. I know your still in there, you just need to find your way." His voice cracked. "Listen to my voice, follow my voice and come back to me."

Her eyes changed from a fire filled glare to a tear filled fear. A drop left her eye as he continued.

"That's right, Jade. Come back to me. I know you can do it. Just fight the Talismans power. They are not meant for you or for anyone. Fight it. Please, don't leave me." He begged.

She bit her lip and pinched her eyes close as she fought the corrupting power of the Talismans. She grabbed ahold of the belt that held the stones of her power. She forced them off of her and threw them into the air. Drago took that chance to hurl a fire ball at the belt, disintegrating it after immediate impact.

Jade gasped once freed and fell into Drago's arms. He wrapped his arms around her as her sight faded.

"Jade?" He called.

She blinked and leaned into his masculine chest. He continued to hold her close to him as she breathed heavily, trying to keep conscious. His clawed hand stroked her hair, his face contorted to complete worry. She continued to try to gain her breath. Finally, her eyes shut and she became limp in his arms.

"Jade?" he called again. "Jade!"

Her world went black.
