Chapter 10: Reinforcements
Back at the Titan Tower Jackie and Tohru were packing Uncle's bags to head back to his shop in San Fransico.
"Finally" smiled Uncle, "now I can return to my shop."
"I am sorry that I or anyone in my party has caused any trouble for you" said Jackie to Robin.
"No problem" replied Robin, "we get this all the time."
As Jackie passed by the exit, he noticed a familar shadow of a large man at the door. He couldn't tell if it was the traitor known as Bruno so Jackie had to throw the luggage down and prepare to fight.
"Why are you acting this way old friend?" asked a familar voice. The voice belonged to El Toro.
"How did you get here?" asked Jackie.
"Jade used a long distance call in this tower" replied El Toro, "it was easy for my pilot to spot the big T structure."
"Jade" called Jackie in a strict voice, "did you call El Toro to come here using the Titan's own phone services?"
"Uh, yes" replied Jade with a smile.
"Wow" said another voice, "I can't believe it that you met real superheros."
That voice belonged to Paco.
"Welcome to Titan's Tower" replied Jade.
"But you know these superheros are not as cool as El Toro is" smiled Paco.
"Who else did you call?" asked Jackie.
"Well" replied Jade, "I did send an e-mail to Viper."
"You brought a super thief here?!" cried Jackie.
"Ex-super thief" replied Viper as she entered the tower.
Suddenly Captain Black entered the scene and was shocked to see that Jade brought three more guests.
"What's going on here?" asked Captain Black.
"Jade used various communications to call in some 'reinforcements'" replied Jackie.
"Ah great!" cried Cyborg as he heard everything as he came into the room, "Now our phone bill is going to be high this month!"
"What?" replied Jade, "I was only using the phone for a few minutes."
"Jade how many times do I have to tell you not to make long distance calls" said Jackie in a strict mood.
"What's going on here?" asked Robin as he quickly came into the main room along with the other Titans.
"This little brat used our phone to make a long distance call!" cried Cyborg.
"Please I am sorry what Jade has done" replied Jackie as he put his hand on Cyborg's shoulder.
"So this is the so-called J-Team?" asked Raven.
"Yeah" replied Jade, "the members include Jackie, me, El Toro, Viper and Tohru."
"Don't forget to count me in" added Paco.
"Please, please" said Jackie in a apologitic voice, "I am sorry that Jade has all brought you here and created a burden for the Titans. We don't need this kind of stuff right now. Jade, who else did you call over?"
Suddenly everybody stopped as they could see a small figure entering the door. Uncle couldn't believe his eyes, it was Tohru's mother.
"I got a call from Jade" said Tohru's mom.
"Jade, how could you call her!" cried Uncle.
"That's Tohru's mom?!" cried Beast Boy as he fainted.
"She's our newest addition to the J-Team" said Jade.
"You have me team up with that billy goat?" said Tohru's mom in an angry voice.
"Teaming up with you will be my end" remarked Uncle.
"I did not only came here to join this J-Team or to just watch over my son" smiled Tohru's mom, "but Jade has told me there would be some young handsome teenagers too."
"What?!" cried Robin, "You told her to come here!"
"Please people, please" said Captain Black as he tried to calm down everybody, "Section 13 would get money for an airline for these uninvited guests back to San Fransico. And Section 13 would gladly pay the phone bill for the Teen Titans this month."
"Yes" added Jackie, "that's a good idea, and since you like to be with your J-Team Jade I think it would be safe if you would stay with them at Uncle's Shop until we have come back."
As everybody else left for an unknown destination, Jade was hatching a new scheme to follow Jackie.
"So is this it?" asked El Toro.
"I think I know a hint where the Earth Amulet maybe hiding" smiled Jade, "I copied this page out of the book Uncle was reading from the Titan's copying machine."
-------
Back on the jet Section 13 provided for Jackie and the Titans, Uncle was laying out where the next amulet would be.
"If I am not mistaken" said Uncle as he read his book, "the Earth Amulet should lie in the pyramid of Ra."
"Dude, who's Ra?" asked Beast Boy.
"Ra was an ancient Egyptian god" replied Uncle, "very powerful indeed."
"But how do we know if the pyramid would be safe to enter?" asked Tohru.
Uncle slaps Tohru on the head.
"Getting to that!" cried Uncle, "I have done some research on the traps we may encounter. Some of my chi spells would provide some type of defense against any magic that would otherwise cause us harm. Here take these special ingredents."
"A dead lizard?!" said Beast Boy as he took a look at the lizard, "What the heck I am suppose to do with this?!"
Uncle slaps Beast Boy on the head.
"Getting to that!" replied Uncle in an agitated voice.
"Sorry to bother you" interrupted Captain Black, "but we're approaching the airport.
"We must be very cautious" continued Uncle, "the pyramid of Ra is guarded by mummies that rise up to defend their god."
The jet landed at the airport. Once the jet landed, the Titans, Jackie, Uncle, Tohru and Captain Black hed toward the area where the pyramid of Ra. Once Captain Black got out of the jeep he was riding in he approached the pyramid. Waiting at the pyramid were some government agents waiting for him.
"Is everything secure?" asked Captain Black.
"Yes" replied the first agent that approached him, "please come back in one piece sir."
"That's a promise I can keep" smiled Captain Black.
While Captain Black and everybody else were heading into the Pyramid of Ra, someone was watching them.
"So the Earth Amulet is located inside that pyramid" said Valmont as he put down the binoculars he was using.
"Yes" added Jinx, "the scepter shows that it does."
"Maybe we should allow Chan and the Titans to finish off any traps that we may encounter in the pyramid?" asked Ratso.
"What a wonderful idea" smiled Valmont.
"Hey look Big V" pointed Finn at some graverobbers that were emerging from the pyramid, "maybe we can get a quicker way though."
"That would also work" smiled Valmont.
As the two graverobbers came out of the pyramid with some gold in their hands Valmont approached the two graverobbers.
"I see that you two gentlemen know of a secret entrance into the pyramid" said Valmont.
"Uh" replied the first graverobber in a nervous voice, "how did you know?"
"My team mates spotted you coming out from the entrance you have created in the pyramid" replied Valmont.
"Please sir" cried the second graverobber, "we mean you no harm. Don't tell those archeologists we're here!"
"That can be our little secret" smiled Valmont, "all you two have to do is help us find another way in the pyramid."
"You mean we should go further than we already have?" asked the first graverobber.
"Why yes" replied Valmont, "you two can do it, right?"
"As you wish kind sir" answered the second graverobber, "we would gladly lead you and your team into the pyramid as long as you don't reveal our existence."
"You heard the man" called Valmont to members of the Hive and the rest of the Dark Hand, "come on in!"
The Hive and the Dark Hand followed the two graverobbers deep into the pyramid. Perhaps once inside the search for the Earth Amulet would be much easier.
Back at the Titan Tower Jackie and Tohru were packing Uncle's bags to head back to his shop in San Fransico.
