Note From the Author: I'm so sad spring break is finally over! There goes all my extra writing time. Anyway, a big thanks to every one who reviewed!!!
Forgotten Love: I'm glad that you liked it and the way that I wrote it! Yes, I'm really hoping I won't get writes block in this story!!! But hopefully it won't happen. I actually have this story somewhat planned out thought, normally when I write I have no idea what's going to happen next. I just make it up as I go along. So when I leave you at a cliffhanger it's a cliffie for me too!
VampireNaomi: I agree a very interesting story. I would love to have the "violet talisman"! (Or at least that's what I'm calling it. Who knows what its original name was?) What is Shendu planning to do with Jade...keep reading! ^_^ About the Dark Hand having an important part...hmm, haven't quite decided that yet. I know they'll be back but I'm not sure how big their part will be.
Souma Kagura: I noticed that seasons one and two have been coming back more lately too. At the moment I think that all of the demons are going to appear (shh, don't tell anyone) but I'm still figuring that part all out. Glad that you like it! ^_^
Coral Sohma: Actually its not an animal on the talisman, it's a violet. Why exactly? Well there is a reason but that will come later in the story. It was originally going to be a cat but it didn't really fit in so I had to change it.
DanMat6288: Sadly no, I'm not going to have the part where Shendu flicks Tohru to Kingdom Come. Why? Well, #1: He wasn't there (in my story) when Shendu retrieved all of his talismans and #2: I'm not having him go over to the good side. (Well, not yet at least.)
Well thanks again to all reviewers! And I wanted to mention that even thought the name of my story is "The 13th Talisman" it actually has to do with a lot more than that. To tell you the truth, I have no idea why I named my story that. I thinking about changing it so if anybody has any ideas please tell me! Well let's get to the second chapter of "The 13th Talisman"!!!
Chapter 2:
UNCLES RARE FINDS:
Jackie was sitting on the couch flipping TV channels. He had nothing to do at work and the matters with the Dark Hand had been mostly solved. Well, they did have two of the talismans but he had been able to retrieve most of them and put them in the vault at Section 13. The other two weren't his problem; it was Section 13's now. Jackie laid back on the couch and relaxed. It felt nice not to have anything to do, and since Jade was a school he didn't have her yelling in his ear, "I'm bored to death Jackie! Lets go do something fun!" Jackie couldn't remember how many times he had heard that from his little niece. It seemed to him that nothing could fill Jade's need to be on an adventure all the time. Uncle entered the room and gave Jackie a thwack on the head.
"Ow!"
"Aiiaha! Jackie what are you doing lying around! Come help Uncle with the shop! Do you expect Uncle to do everything by himself!?" Uncle said. Jackie was just about to say something when the phone rang. Jackie walked over and picked it up.
"Hello, This is Uncles Rare Finds how can I help you?" Jackie said. "What did you say...Jade never what...no I don't know where she is...Ok...ok...bye." Jackie hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Asked Uncle.
"It was Jades school, they said she never showed up today."
"But we saw her leave." Uncle said.
"You don't suppose she skipped, do you?" Jackie said in confusion.
"She never has before...but with Jade you never know." Uncle said.
"We better find out where she is." Jackie said as he walked over to turn off the TV. He stopped and looked at the screen. The news was on but the report was very suspensions,
"Today around noon, it was reported that a large dragon type creature was seen flying out of a giant skyscraper. Whatever this creatures was it seemed to have blow out the wall and cracked many of the windows around it. Witnesses at the site report seeing the dragon creature to have a young girl with him. We have this footage." The news reporter said. On the TV there was a small recording of this "dragon creature" flying out of the building but in a couple of second he had seemed to speed up and wasn't visible to the human eye anymore.
"What in the hell?" Jackie said in disbelief. The image on the TV froze and there was a blurry picture on the screen. It did look like a dragon and he was carrying and small girl. She was wearing an orange sweatshirt and had jet-black hair. Jackie looked closer at the image. "Uncle ya don't think..."
"It can't be!" Uncle said trying not to believe what he just saw. The picture went away and it went back to the reporter,
"One of the top crime groups, The Dark Hand and their leader Valmont was also found at the scene and is now in for questioning. What is this creature and why is it here? Hopefully we can find some answers soon. This has been the 2 o'clock news, stay tuned for-" Jackie turned off the television and looked at Uncle.
"Uncle, what was that?!" Jackie asked.
"Uncle does not know but Uncle will find out!"
"You do that and I'll go find Jade..." Jackie said as he started to walk away. His cell phone rang and he picked it up. "Hello? Oh, hi Captain Black."
"Hi Jackie, did you just see the news?"
"Yes...do you know anything about it!?!?"
"Well, we arrested the Dark Hand and like the reporter said their in for questioning."
"What did they say!? Do they know anything about-"
"We've managed to get one word out of them." Captain Black said.
"What?!" Jackie asked.
"Shendu." Captain Black answered.
"Shendu!? What in the heck is a Shendu?" Jackie said.
"SHENDU!" Uncle screamed from across the room. He was looking at an old book. "He is one of the eight demons sorcerers that used to control the world."
"Demon sorcerers?" Jackie said in confusion. "Their are eight of them!"
"Seven of the still are trapped in the Demon Realm...but if we do not hurry Shendu will free his brothers and sisters and the world will be in grave danger."
"Helllo...Helllloooo? Jackie are you still there?" Captain Black said from the phone.
"Yah, listen I'll be right there...bye." Jackie hung up.
"Uncle is coming too! I have to learn more about this greater evil!"
SOMEWHERE IN SAN FRAN.
Shendu flew through the sky at incredible speeds. Thanks to the help from his newly found talismans he had powers that people only dreamed of. He was so glad to finally be free of the wrenched statue form. Now he had the chance to regain his power over the human race that he once had, had. Normally Shendu would have gone and taken revenge on Asia like he threatened too, but only on the Chinese New Year and he had already missed his chance at that. In the meantime Shendu thought he would try to free his fellow demon brothers and sisters that had been banished by the eight immortals. To complete this task Shendu would need the Pan Ku Box. He knew it was somewhere in Tibet but it would be easier to find if he had a reference. Shendu figured that the old chi wizard might have a book that he could use.
He landed on top of a shop called "Uncles Rare Finds". He had heard Valmont and his men talk about this being where Jackie Chan's Uncle lived and the first place Shendu decided to look for this book. He set Jade down on the ground and loosened his grip on the talisman he was holding. He really had regretted having to bring Chan's niece into this but it was his only choice at the moment. She already knew too much and giving her back now was not an option. She shook her head and looked up. Jade yelped and stumbled back at the sight of Shendu.
"W...who are y...you." She said.
"I'm am Shendu, the demon sorcerer of fire. I was imprisoned in a statue and now that I have my talismans back I have come to seek my revenge." He roared.
"Wa...what do you want me for."
"You, are going to help me open the other demon portals."
"Theirs more of you!!!"
"Of course there is, seven more."
"NO WAY, NO HOW AM I HELPING YOU! My Uncle Jackie will come and save me! He'll whip you butt!" Jade screamed. She really had no idea what was going on but Jade knew there was no way she was going to help with whatever this dragon wanted her to do. Shendu leaned down close to Jades face and brought his sharp claw up to her neck.
"You will help me or suffer the consequences." Sheudu hissed. Jade gulped and didn't dare to move. She slowly nodded her head decided that she would help for now but either Jackie would come to save her or she'd come up with a brilliant plan to escape. Shendu pulled his claw away and took a step back. Jade let out a whoose of air having held her breath the whole time.
"I'm glad that you decided to see it my way." Shendu said as Jade glared at him. Shendu grabbed Jade by her front collar. "But if you attempt to betray me I will be forced to either kill you," Jade flinched, she didn't like the sound of this, "or I will out you under permeate control of the mind control talisman." Shendu said as he let go of Jade.
"Mind control?! So that's what happened to me! Wait, I thought that there were only 12 talismans?" Jade said as she rubbed her neck.
"You thought wrong, no lets hurry before someone sees us."
"Hurry doing what?"
"To open the demon portals I need the Pan Ku Box and to get the Pan Ku Box I need a book that your Uncle possesses." Jade looked around and for the first time she noticed they were on the roof of Uncles shop. Jade's hope grew as she realized Jackie must be inside and would be able to save her and defeat Shendu. They walked over to the door on the roof and opened it.
"You're not going to fit." Jade said as she turned around. She was surprised at what she saw. Shendu had turned into his human form. She gasped, he was tall and muscular with long black hair pulled back in a ponytail. He was wearing a red shirt with a gold dragon on it, and light brown khaki pants.
"I...I didn't know you could do that." Jade said as she walked inside and Shendu followed. Jade expected to the lights in the shop to be on and hear the voices downstairs of Jackie and Uncle. When Jade got inside her hopes of any rescue dropped. No one was there. Jade stood there in disbelief. Uncle never left the shop! And when he did it was only for something important. Shendu pushed he forward,
"what are you waiting for, go!" Jade walked forward and took Shendu into the library/Uncles workroom. He started to tear books off the shelf in attempt to the find the one that he needed. Jade just stood and watched. Uncle would be really mad when he got home. He disliked anyone touching his books, but at the moment that was the least of Jades worries. She hoped that Jackie and Uncle would walk through the door any minute and stop Shendu. But then Jade realized that Shendu was packing talisman magic and even if Jackie could kick butt, he still couldn't take on all 12 talisman powers.
"Think Jade, think." Jade said to herself as she held her head. Escape was not an option, now that Shendu had the mind control talisman. It was almost certain that she would be caught and being totally under Shendu's control was not something she wanted to happen. She heard Shendu snickering. Jade was hoping that he wouldn't find the book and it would buy her some extra time. A light bulb went off in her head and she grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil. Jade managed to scribble a note to Jackie and Uncle being careful the Shendu didn't find out what she was doing. She read it over and thought it was ok considering the situation.
Jackie and Uncle,
I'm ok don't worry. There is some sorta new talisman that has the power of mind control and Shendu used it on me. He as all of the other talismans and is now trying to find something called the Pan Ku Box to release the other demons. Please help!
Jade
She set it down on the table and could only pray that Jackie or Uncle would find it. It really wasn't that much help but at least they would know she was all right.
"Ah-ha! Shendu said from the other side of the room. "I found the right book. Now lets hurry before that chi wizard comes home." Jade cursed under her breath. Shendu had found the book. As they left Jade took one last look at Uncles shop. She could only hope that Jackie would find her note. Once outside Shendu turned back to is demon form.
"Now to retrieve the Pan Ku Box."
TO BE CONTINUED...
Note from the author: Ok, ok I know I said that I would tell what the "violet talisman" was originally created for in this chapter but it turned out longer than I expected and I didn't get to that part yet. Thanks to all of the reviewers! Please review this chapter!!! ^_^
