Chapter 7: The Fire Amulet
It was a dark night when Jackie Chan and Red X were preparing to steal the Fire Amulet.
"Do you have the proper equipment to do this?" asked Jackie to Red X.
"Absolutely" replied Red X.
Red X took out several laser tools to make a hole in the window on the roof of the musuem that looked down at the Fire Amulet. It seemed easy enough to do it. But they had to act fast, because it seemed on the otherside of the roof on top of the musuem, the Dark Hand and the Hive were preparing a joint crime spree.
"How long does this have to take?" asked Finn to Gizmo.
"Stop bothering me" replied Gizmo in a cranky voice, "I need some room."
"Hey Big V, why are we breaking into the musuem over on this side?" asked Finn, "The amulet isn't in this part of the musuem."
"I know" said Valmont, "but there are heavy security defenses in that area. It would be easier for us to break in over here."
"Hmm" said Ratso, "I didn't know that."
"Of course you people didn't know that" smiled Valmont, "Slate's informant Bruno was nice enough to tell us what type of defense systems this musuem would have."
"Okay, I got it" said Gizmo as he finally made a large enough hole in the window, "let's go and get that amulet."
The Dark Hand and the Hive went through the hole Gizmo made in the window. The scepter that Valmont was holding glowed bright red. They could tell the amulet was nearby. Meanwhile, Jackie and Red X were having some trouble trying to reach down toward the Fire Amulet on the ropes they were climbing.
"I don't know if this is such a good idea" whispered Jackie to Red X as he was cautiously climbing down the rope.
"This should be easy enough for us to get" said Red X as he was also climbing down the rope.
Suddenly, the rope seemed like it was going to be ripped apart. Jackie and Red X could tell that this was not going as well as they planned it would.
"I have a really bad feeling about this" said Jackie as the rope was sleaping and being torn apart.
Then the two fell to the ground. Activiating the alarm and the various security defenses.
"I did not know they had this type of a security system here?" said Jackie as he was dodging the bullets from the machine guns installed in the walls.
"Don't worry, I shall take them out" replied Red X.
Jackie was amazed that Robin or Red X could pull such a stunt like this. Red Xs literally came out of Red X's hands, destroying the machine guns that were installed in the walls. But before the two could grab the Fire Amulet, they heard several foot steps coming toward them.
"Uh, I think we may have some trouble coming our way" said Jackie as he was preparing his fighting stance.
"Your right" replied Red X as he got into his fighting stance.
However, this wasn't any security forces coming to catch them. It was Valmont, his Enforcers and the Hive. The large door that was the entrance to the room fell as Mammoth knocked it down.
"Could you have made that any louder?" said Valmont in a sarcastic voice.
"Hey look Big V" said Finn as he pointed to some strange person in a black ninja suit and to Red X, "somebody has already beaten us to the amulet."
"Well, well, well" said Valmont, "so we're not the only ones here?"
"The guy in the black ninja suit looks familar" said Chow as he was scratching his head, "But I can't figure out where."
"Well, whoever they are, they're finished!" said Valmont, "I don't want to disappoint Slate. Hak Foo, fetch the amulet for us? Would you?"
Hak Foo bowed his head and then raced toward the amulet. When Hak Foo was about to grab the amulet, Red X threw a red net over him. Bringing Hak Foo to the ground.
"Typical" sighed Mammoth, "I could do a better job."
"Really?" replied Valmont, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Mammoth like Hak Foo raced toward the amulet. He jumped on the ground, causing to create a shockwave that temporary stopped Jackie from moving. Jackie then regained conciousness and notice that Mammoth was about to grab the amulet, when Jackie leaped toward Mammoth with his attack. He managed to punch Mammoth in the face, but then held back his hand. He could feel the pain in his hand after he made that punch.
"Ouch!" cried Jackie as he was holding his hand.
"What a weakling!" laughed Mammoth as he was about to pick up Jackie.
"Hey boss" said Chow to Valmont, "I think that's Chan."
"Really?" replied Valmont, "Mammoth, take off that ridiculous mask of the individual you are holding by the neck."
Mammoth pulled off the mask. To no surprise to members of the Dark Hand, it was Jackie Chan.
"So this is the so-called Jackie Chan you have been blabbing about to Slate?" asked Jinx.
"Yes, quite right" replied Valmont, "now it's a matter of how to finish him off."
"You must be pretty strong" said Jackie to Mammoth.
"Yes, I am pretty strong" smiled Mammoth, "I eat weaklings like you for breakfast."
Then before Mammoth could do anything else, Red X then managed to uppercut Mammoth, sending the genetically modified giant into the air and landing on the ground.
"Thanks" said Jackie as he was feeling his neck.
"No problem" said Red X.
"What are you people waiting for?!" shouted Valmont to Gizmo, Jinx, Finn, Chow and Ratso, "Get the Fire Amulet!"
Gizmo was about to grab the Fire Amulet on his jet pack.
"Almost there!" smiled Gizmo as his eyes glared at the amulet. But what he didn't notice is that somebody else was also there, but it was too late when Gizmo finally got there. When he finally got there, the amulet was gone.
"Where did it go?!" cried Gizmo in a paniced voice.
"Hey, looking for something?" said a faimlar voice.
The voice belong to Jade. She was using the Invisibility Tailsman and Levitation Tailsman as well as the Speed Tailsman and managed to grab the Fire Amulet.
"Jade, how did you get here?" cried Jackie.
"I thought you needed help?" replied Jade.
"I'll be the backup" said Red X, "you get out of here with Jade."
"Thank you" replied Jackie.
"Hey look" pointed Ratso as Jackie and Jade were escaping on the roof, "those Chans are getting away!"
"No problem" smiled Jinx as she lifted herself up into the air, "I shall give them my jinxed power."
"I think we're safe" said Jackie as he whipped off some sweat.
"Uh, Jackie" said Jade as she was pulling his sleeve and pointing at Jinx.
"So" said Jinx in an angry voice, "do you think you can escape the Hive and make a fool out of us?"
Jinx pointed her hands toward the water tower nearby. Her powers managed to make the water tower collapse and the water poured onto Jackie. When Jackie tried to clean himself up, Jinx made her attack. But what she didn't know is that Beast Boy was there. He had followed Jade to the musuem.
He turned into a ram and managed to stop Jinx from attacking Jackie.
"How did you know she was coming here?" asked Jackie.
"I sort of knew you were coming here" said Beast Boy, "where's Robin?"
"You mean Red X?" said Jackie, "he's down there."
Beast Boy, Jackie and Jade could see that Red X was cornered by Chow, Ratso and Finn.
"Since Chan isn't here" said Finn, "I'm going to give his beating to you."
"Come and get me then" replied Red X.
Finn grabbed a type of sword that was in the musuem and was going to attack Red X with it. But everytime Finn tried to attack Red X, he missed. Then Red X used his special powers and rendered the sword useless by shooting a red x out of his hands, destroying the sword.
"Uh, Big V" said Finn to Valmont, "I think we should leave."
"Why?" replied Valmont, "Are you a coward?"
"Uh, but I think they may have something to say about this" pointed Finn at the roof.
On the roof, the rest of the Titans were gathering. So Valmont ordered the Dark Hand and the Hive to retreat.
"Perhaps you are right' said Valmont, "run!"
The Dark Hand and the Hive ran through the musuem. However, they were being followed close behind by Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy.
"Uh, Big V" said Finn, "one of those flash grenades could be useful."
"I don't have one with me" cried Valmont.
Suddenly, a helicopter also appeared outside of the musuem. On board of the helicopter was Slate himself.
"Get up here you fools!" shouted Slate.
The Dark Hand and the Hive managed to escape to safety.
"I am very disappointed with you Valmont" said Slate as he sat in his chair.
"It's not my fault" complained Valmont, "it was Jackie Chan."
"Very well then" replied Slate, "but perhaps next time you would be more successful."

Back at Section 13, the Fire Amulet was carefully placed into a special vault with the help of several Section 13 agents.
"Good" smiled Captain Black, "this is where an amulet will go once it has been collected. It should be safe from Slate, the Hive and the Dark Hand."
"Yes" said Jackie, "but I think we have to find the other amulets before Slate does."
"No problem" said Uncle, "Uncle has found where the location of the Water Amulet might be located."
"Where is it?" asked Captain Black.
"It's located in the lost city of Atlantis" replied Uncle.
"But no body has ever found Atlantis" said Jackie.
"I believe I know somebody who can help us" said Robin, "Aquaman."
"Yeah" replied Beast Boy, "he helped us before. Maybe this amulet is located where he lives."
"That would be perfect" said Jackie, "but how would we get down there?"
"That will be left to us" said Robin.
"I can also get us a good sub" said Captain Black, "we're working on new technology that would be able to get us to low depths."
"Well, what are we waiting for?" said Jade, "Let's go!"
"No" said Jackie, "I'm sorry but this is too dangerous for you. You stay here with Tohru and Uncle."
"Why isn't he coming along with us?" asked Cyborg.
"I hate fish" replied Tohru, "and I don't want to see them either."
"Has Bruno reported in yet?" asked Jackie.
"Well, not on time" said Captain Black, "he will becoming on this mission with us."
It was a dark night when Jackie Chan and Red X were preparing to steal the Fire Amulet.
"Do you have the proper equipment to do this?" asked Jackie to Red X.
