Chapter 12: The Ice Amulet
After the J-Team was given a plane where they could head back to where they came from with the help from Captain Black, while the plane carrying the J- Team which included El Toro, Paco, Viper and Tohru's mother, Uncle showed Captain Black and Robin where the last amulet would be located.
"Looks like you, Jackie and the Titans are heading to Norway" said Captain Black.
"The Ice Amulet was an amulet used by the Viking god of Thor" said Uncle as he was reading from a book, "we must head there first before Slade and his minions get there first. Members of the Dark Hand still have at least nine of Shendu's Talismans so we need to be on our toes."
"Let's get rolling" said Robin.
As Jackie, Tohru, Uncle and the Titans went on the plane that Captain Black scheduled to head toward Norway, Jade like before snuck onto the plane in the cargo hold. As the plane arrived at its destination, the Dark Hand were preparing to head toward the same destination with the help of Slate and the high-tech technology he possessed.
"It seems to me that the scepter points to the local woods" said Valmont as the skull on the scepter lid up a red glowing eyes pointing in the direction as members of the Dark Hand got out of the plane.
"Looks like we could use some rest after that trip" said Chow as he was yawning.
"Fine" sighed Valmont, "I'm a bit out of shape myself. Let's book ourselves at the local hotel."
Meanwhile at that same hotel, Jackie was unpacking his things when he saw Jade walking down the hallway.
"Jade, what are you doing here?" said Jackie in his usual tone of voice.
"I snuck on the plane through the cargo hold" replied Jade.
"You know you are supposed to stay at Section 13" said Jackie in a strict voice.
"Come on Jackie" begged Jade, "this is the last amulet on the list, just one more time? Please?"
"Alright" said Jackie, "what's the use of trying to keep you locked away anyway?"
"Thanks Jackie" replied Jade as she hugged her uncle.
As Jade was hugging Jackie, Uncle came in surprised that Jade was here.
"Jade, what are you doing here?" asked Uncle, "You were suppose to stay at Section 13. We did not pack your stuff!"
"Jade is here?" asked Beast Boy as he came into the room.
"Unfortunately yes" said Uncle, "Uncle is too tired from the last trip we took and Jade brining that little monster along was too much for Uncle!"
"You mean my mom?" asked Tohru as he walked in the room.
"Look, let's not waste our energy here" said Jackie, "we must find the Ice Amulet before the Dark Hand and Slade get their hands on it."
"He's right" said Robin as he entered the room, "we can't waste our energy. We'll look for the amulet tomorrow."
"How can Uncle be able to sleep with the Dark Hand and Slade running around trying to acquire magical amulets?!" cried Uncle.
As Uncle was wondering around in his room, Jackie went down stairs to get some coffee seeing how Uncle will keep him up anyway. As Jackie went into the cafeteria of the hotel, Jackie was about to turn a corner when he saw Fynn, Chow and Hak Foo getting food at the cafeteria. Jackie quickly turned back and watched the three carefully from a safer distance.
"It's too bad Ratso lost his Talismans" said Fynn.
"Good thing we still have ours" said Chow.
"Hunter gathers meat to head back to group" said Hak Foo as he was gathering food for himself and for the trip that was to take place tomorrow.
"Yeah, good idea Hak" said Chow as he also started to gather food.
"The Dark Hand is here too in the very same hotel?" said Jackie in a soft voice.
"Yea, isn't it cool? Let's go get the rest of the Talismans" said a voice behind him.
"Oh no, that would be too dangerous, Jade, what are you doing here?!" cried Jackie as he turned around to see Jade, "I thought you were in the room with Uncle?"
"Uncle got tired of grumbling about the Ice Amulet and the Dark Hand and is sleeping on the coach in the room" replied Jade.
"It figures" said Jackie, "but we can't handle the Dark Hand without the Titans. They still have a few Talismans, remember?"
"Come on Jackie, you can take them on" said Jade, "there are only three of them."
Jackie sighed and decided to try to sneak by the three members of the Dark Hand as they were gathering food for their trip to search for the Ice Amulet. Jackie carefully made his way toward Chow's bag where Chow had his Talismans which were the Dragon, Ox and Dog Talismans. Jackie slowly crept up to Chow's bag and carefully approached the bag. When Jackie grabbed Chow's bag, Chow saw Jackie grabbing his bag.
"Chan has my bag!" cried Chow pointing at Jackie.
Hak Foo launches his attack against Jackie delivering several good punches at Jackie as Jackie tried to block Hak Foo's punches. Hak Foo tries to grab Chow's bag from Jackie, but Jackie pulls in the other direction. As Jackie tried to pull Chow's bag toward him, the bag started to rip and the three Talismans in the bag fell to the ground. Jackie quickly grabs the Dog Talisman as it was the closest one to him, while Hak Foo and Chow grabbed the other two Talismans. Chow managed to grab the Dragon Talisman and tried to fire a few shots at Jackie as he tried to get away. While Jackie was trying to escape the Dark Hand, Jackie didn't notice a green rat nearby which was sniffing some food. The green rat turned out to be Beast Boy out for a midnight snack and saw the situation unfolding. Beast Boy quickly changes himself into a gorilla and lunges at Hak Foo, but with the Ox Talisman, Hak Foo managed to grab Beast Boy as a gorilla and throwing him at Jackie. As the commotion continued, the rest of the Titans were alerted and entered the cafeteria.
"You didn't say the Titans were here too?" asked Fynn.
"You two take the Titans, I'll deal with Chan" replied Hak Foo.
Fynn readied the Pig, Roster and Horse Talismans as Chow prepared to fire the Dragon Talisman at the Titans. Both of them charged at the Titans, while Chow used the Dragon Talisman at the Titans, Raven uses her powers to shield the Titans from harm of the Dragon and Pig Talismans.
"Titans, split up and take each one of them down" ordered Robin.
Starfire and Cyborg went after Fynn as Fynn lifted himself up with the Roster Talisman. Fynn races toward Cyborg firing heat beam eye beams out of his eyes. Starfire dodges the heat beams and sends several star bolts Fynn's way. As Fynn was dodging the star bolts that were sent by Starfire, Cyborg leaped and grabbed Fynn shoving him to the ground. Raven saw her chance to use her powers as Fynn as prepared to fire his heat beams at Cyborg, Raven used her mental abilities and managed to grab Fynn's medallion that was on Fynn's neck, sending Fynn ramming right into the wall.
"May I take these?" said Cyborg as he was grabbing Fynn's Talismans from his pockets.
Meanwhile Jackie was still have trouble fighting Hak Foo. Hak Foo went after Jackie with a few good kicks and punches. Yet what Hak Foo didn't know was that Jade was grabbing a pie from the cafeteria and aimed carefully at Hak and threw it at him. The pie hits Hak Foo right in the face as he turns around, while trying to get the stuff off of him; Jackie leaped and kicked Hak Foo down to the ground. Chow continued to blast the Dragon Talisman at the Titans.
"Stand still" said Chow as he tried to aim at various members of the Teen Titans.
"Hey catch!" said Jade as she pushed one of the carts toward Chow.
Chow however could not hear what Jade had to say as he was too busy firing at the Titans. Chow gets hit by the cart, sending him out of the cafeteria and into the lobby. As Chow slowly recovered from the sneak attack, Valmont walked in the lobby to see what the uproar was on.
"Chow, what's going on here?" asked Valmont as he grabbed Chow's shirt.
"The Titans and Chan beat up Hak and Fynn" replied Chow.
"I suppose it's time for me to rescue Hak Foo and Fynn" said Valmont as he was getting out a flash grenade.
Valmont threw the flash grenade where the Titans, Jackie and Jade were. A large flash and Fynn and Hak Foo were gone.
"Where did they go?" said Jackie as he was looking around.
"I think their friend Valmont helped them out" said Robin, "we have to get Uncle and find the Ice Amulet before they do."
"I'll get Uncle" said Jackie, "Jade you stay with the Titans."
"Aw" replied Jade.
As Jackie head up stairs to wake up Uncle and Tohru who were both sleeping during the whole situation, Ratso was climbing out of his window after he saw the rest of the Dark Hand outside. Ratso carefully leaped out of the window and landed hard on the ground.
"So does this mean we don't get to have their mourning breakfast?" asked Ratso.
"We're going to get an early start" said Valmont.
"But Big V, we don't have any of the good Talismans with us" said Fynn.
"I am sure these amulets have some type of magic like those Talismans do" said Valmont, "Slade has surely managed to find out a way to find the magic."
Suddenly a large armored van pulled up to Valmont as he was about to head into the local woods near the hotel. The driver's window on the van opened to reveal Bruno.
"Need any help?" asked Bruno, "Looks like you people can use some transportation."
"And I suppose Slade has provided you with this?" replied Valmont.
"Certainly" replied Bruno, "only the best will be for retrieving the Ice Amulet."
Valmont gets into the seat next to Bruno while Chow, Ratso, Fynn and Hak Foo got into the back of the van. There in the back they met Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx again.
"You people didn't lose Shendu's Talismans did you?" asked Jinx.
"Uh" was Fynn's only reply.
"I'll take that as a yes" said Gizmo, "stupid snot nosed moron."
"Watch your language kid!" snarled Chow as he shock his fist at Gizmo.
"Alright, break it up" said Mammoth, "we don't want to get into a fight. We still have an amulet left which we do not want the Titans or Chan and company to get it. So please you people just sit down and wait until we have arrived at our destination!"
"Alright, alright" said Chow in an apologetic voice, "sorry."
As Hak Foo, Chow, Ratso and Fynn were getting in the back of the van and heading toward the direction where the skull on the scepter was pointing, Jackie was still recovering from the flash grenade Valmont threw in the cafeteria.
"At least we got all of those magic thingies" said Beast Boy.
"The good ones" replied Jackie.
"Uncle can not believe this entire commotion went on while Uncle was sleeping" said Uncle in his usually grumpy mood.
"We need to find out where they went" said Robin, "maybe we can still catch up to them."
"Forget it" replied Raven, "we're already tired from the fight we had with these people we need to conserve our energy."
"How can you think of conserving your energy while Uncle can not even be able to conserve his energy while the Dark Hand and Slade are preparing to grab an amulet!" cried Uncle.
"Please sensei" said Tohru, "perhaps there are clues to where they went. I read somewhere that Thor had an ancient temple in the woods nearby this hotel. Perhaps that's where they were heading to."
"Then we must find the amulet before they do" said Uncle.
"He's right" said Robin, "everyone let's head out."
The Titans, Jackie, Jade, Tohru and Uncle all head into the main Titan vehicle heading toward the woods where Tohru had suggested heading to. Meanwhile, the van carrying the Dark Hand and the Hive were getting closer to a large structure in the middle of the forest. It looked like a run down temple in the middle of nowhere and it seemed like the windows of the temple were all broken. As the Dark Hand got out of the van along with the Hive and Bruno, Valmont slowly walked up to the ruined temple.
"So this is where the Ice Amulet is located?" asked Valmont, "Doesn't seem like there is much left."
Suddenly the ground below started to rumble as there were an earthquake happening. And up from the ground came several stone warrior Vikings out of the ground. The two stone warriors started to move out of their place and walked toward Valmont.
"Any time now" said Valmont.
"We would like to if we had the Talismans with us" said Chow.
"Don't worry, we'll handle it" said Jinx as she ordered Mammoth and Gizmo to get into Attack Pattern Alpha.
Jinx fired a few shots at one of the stoned warriors, while Gizmo shot fire from his machine gun and finally Mammoth gave the huge stone warrior a large body slam, sending the stone warrior to the ground, destroying it completely. While the Hive were preparing to fight the second stone warrior, the Titans, Jackie, Uncle, Jade and Tohru arrived at the temple. They all got out of the Titans' vehicle and joined in the fight against the large stone warrior.
"Jackie, look the Dark Hand, Bruno and the Hive are already here" said Jade.
"Robin, can you keep the Hive and the stone warrior busy while Tohru, Uncle and I get the amulet before the Dark Hand does?" asked Jackie.
"No problem" replied Robin, "Titans go!"
"Jackie, what about me?" asked Jade.
"You stay here in the vehicle" replied Jackie.
"Aw" mourned Jade.
As Jackie, Tohru and Uncle made their way into the ruined temple; the Dark Hand saw Jackie approach the temple and was prepared to make a run themselves.
"Look, Chan and company are heading into the temple, why can't we?" asked Fynn as he pointed in the direction where Jackie, Tohru and Uncle were running.
"I suppose it's a wise choice" said Valmont, "Bruno would you like to come with us into the temple?"
"Certainly Mr. Valmont" replied Bruno as he was heading toward the temple.
As the Dark Hand and Bruno headed toward the temple while the Hive and the Titans were keeping the large stone warrior busy, Jade knew Jackie would need some help so she got out of the van and headed toward the temple to help out Jackie but at the same time keeping a good distance from the Dark Hand. Meanwhile, Jackie, Tohru and Uncle were heading into the main room of the temple. There the Ice Amulet was sitting in the center. But as Jackie and Uncle were preparing to get the Ice Amulet, Bruno grabbed them by giving them a large bear hug, squeezing the two hard, while Tohru was knocked down by Valmont's new armor.
"This is the easiest amulet I had ever gotten" said Chow as he was approaching the amulet along with Fynn and Ratso.
But before Chow could ever grab the amulet, Robin's disc hits the amulet right out of Chow's hand. Chow continues to hold his hand in pain recovering from the attack.
"I don't think you would be taking that amulet with you" said Robin as the other Titans entered the room.
"So you have decided to stop us?" asked Valmont, "We already have two of your allies currently captured and one knocked out. How do you suppose that you are going to beat us?"
"Cyborg, Beast Boy" said Robin.
Cyborg and Beast Boy brought in Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx unconscious.
"We got three and you have three" said Robin, "so what do you say to a trade?"
"Don't do it, they'll trick you" said Jade as she entered the room.
"Jade, what are you doing here? Oh never mind" said Jackie as he was being squeezed by Bruno.
"Do the trade and let Uncle still be able to have a decent body" said Uncle also being crushed by Bruno.
But before Robin could make his decision, Tohru regained consciousness and charged at Bruno. Bruno threw Jackie and Uncle down as Bruno and Tohru started to wrestle with each other. As Bruno and Tohru continued to fight each other, Jade saw her chance and raced toward the amulet. But before Jade could reach out and grab the amulet, Hak Foo grabs her as she was about to grab the amulet.
"Put me down" said Jade as she was struggling to get out of Hak Foo's grip.
"Beast Boy, get Jade, we'll get the amulet" ordered Robin.
Beast Boy changes himself into a tyrannosaurus and gives a loud roar right in Hak Foo's face. Hak Foo panics and drops Jade as he runs for his life. While Hak Foo was running, Beast Boy as a tyrannosaurus charges at Chow, Fynn and Ratso. All three run like cowards, but Valmont sees a chance he could fire his laser at Beast Boy. He aims carefully at Beast Boy and prepares to fire. But as Valmont was about to fire at Beast Boy, Jackie leaps kicks Valmont to the ground. Valmont dizzy from the attack recovers from the attack and starts to fight Jackie. Robin manages to grab the Ice Amulet from its place and the room starts to shake.
"Titans, Jackie, Jade, Tohru, Uncle we have to get out of here!" said Robin while holding the Ice Amulet.
Everybody managed to get out of the temple before it collapsed. While Robin was about to give the amulet to Jackie, Hak Foo grabs the amulet from Robin's hands.
"Monkey steals fruit from tree" said Hak Foo as he looks at the amulet in his hand.
"You know we really haven't found out what those amulets could really do" said Fynn.
Hak Foo rubs the amulet to make the amulet shine. Suddenly a blue light comes out of the amulet and freezes Robin's legs, making it impossible for him to move.
"Wow, these amulets probably work better than Shendu's Talismans!" said Fynn.
"Here you guys can have these Talismans" said Chow as he threw the remaining Talismans to Robin, "we got something better."
Jackie leaps toward Hak Foo trying to get the amulet away from Hak Foo. But Hak Foo kicks Jackie to the ground and uses the Ice Amulet on the rest of the Titans, freezing them in their place. Hak Foo then points the amulet toward at Tohru and freezes him.
"Come on let's tell Slade what we have here" said Chow.
The Dark Hand and the Hive got into their van and left for Slade's headquarters. Meanwhile Jackie, Uncle and Jade were back at Section 13 busy defrosting Tohru and the Titans with the help of Captain Black and other Section 13 agents. Robin finally regained consciousness as well as the rest of the Titans and Tohru.
"We've got word that the Dark Hand and the Hive are on the lose" said Captain Black, "they're packing amulet heat this time."
"Then we better go" said Robin, "Titans move out!"
As Robin and the rest of the Titans were preparing to head to fight the Dark Hand and the Hive, Jackie went along with Captain Black.
"Please Jackie can I please come with you?" asked Jade.
"No, you stay with Uncle and Tohru" replied Jackie.
"Aw" replied Jade.
"Jade please help Uncle and Tohru to prepare a Chi spell that will disable the magic from the amulets" said Uncle.
"Aw" mourned Jade again as she went with Tohru.
As Jackie and Captain Black were headed toward the direction where the Titans were to help them fight the Dark Hand and the Hive, Jade did not know what her uncle Jackie was getting into so she decided to take the Talismans (at least the good ones) to help out Jackie. Perhaps this would give Jackie the need to fight the Dark Hand and the Hive.
After the J-Team was given a plane where they could head back to where they came from with the help from Captain Black, while the plane carrying the J- Team which included El Toro, Paco, Viper and Tohru's mother, Uncle showed Captain Black and Robin where the last amulet would be located.
"Looks like you, Jackie and the Titans are heading to Norway" said Captain Black.
"The Ice Amulet was an amulet used by the Viking god of Thor" said Uncle as he was reading from a book, "we must head there first before Slade and his minions get there first. Members of the Dark Hand still have at least nine of Shendu's Talismans so we need to be on our toes."
"Let's get rolling" said Robin.
As Jackie, Tohru, Uncle and the Titans went on the plane that Captain Black scheduled to head toward Norway, Jade like before snuck onto the plane in the cargo hold. As the plane arrived at its destination, the Dark Hand were preparing to head toward the same destination with the help of Slate and the high-tech technology he possessed.
"It seems to me that the scepter points to the local woods" said Valmont as the skull on the scepter lid up a red glowing eyes pointing in the direction as members of the Dark Hand got out of the plane.
"Looks like we could use some rest after that trip" said Chow as he was yawning.
"Fine" sighed Valmont, "I'm a bit out of shape myself. Let's book ourselves at the local hotel."

"He's right" said Robin as he entered the room, "we can't waste our energy. We'll look for the amulet tomorrow."
"How can Uncle be able to sleep with the Dark Hand and Slade running around trying to acquire magical amulets?!" cried Uncle.
As Uncle was wondering around in his room, Jackie went down stairs to get some coffee seeing how Uncle will keep him up anyway. As Jackie went into the cafeteria of the hotel, Jackie was about to turn a corner when he saw Fynn, Chow and Hak Foo getting food at the cafeteria. Jackie quickly turned back and watched the three carefully from a safer distance.
"It's too bad Ratso lost his Talismans" said Fynn.
"Good thing we still have ours" said Chow.
"Hunter gathers meat to head back to group" said Hak Foo as he was gathering food for himself and for the trip that was to take place tomorrow.
"Yeah, good idea Hak" said Chow as he also started to gather food.
"The Dark Hand is here too in the very same hotel?" said Jackie in a soft voice.
"Yea, isn't it cool? Let's go get the rest of the Talismans" said a voice behind him.

Jackie sighed and decided to try to sneak by the three members of the Dark Hand as they were gathering food for their trip to search for the Ice Amulet. Jackie carefully made his way toward Chow's bag where Chow had his Talismans which were the Dragon, Ox and Dog Talismans. Jackie slowly crept up to Chow's bag and carefully approached the bag. When Jackie grabbed Chow's bag, Chow saw Jackie grabbing his bag.
"Chan has my bag!" cried Chow pointing at Jackie.
Hak Foo launches his attack against Jackie delivering several good punches at Jackie as Jackie tried to block Hak Foo's punches. Hak Foo tries to grab Chow's bag from Jackie, but Jackie pulls in the other direction. As Jackie tried to pull Chow's bag toward him, the bag started to rip and the three Talismans in the bag fell to the ground. Jackie quickly grabs the Dog Talisman as it was the closest one to him, while Hak Foo and Chow grabbed the other two Talismans. Chow managed to grab the Dragon Talisman and tried to fire a few shots at Jackie as he tried to get away. While Jackie was trying to escape the Dark Hand, Jackie didn't notice a green rat nearby which was sniffing some food. The green rat turned out to be Beast Boy out for a midnight snack and saw the situation unfolding. Beast Boy quickly changes himself into a gorilla and lunges at Hak Foo, but with the Ox Talisman, Hak Foo managed to grab Beast Boy as a gorilla and throwing him at Jackie. As the commotion continued, the rest of the Titans were alerted and entered the cafeteria.
"You didn't say the Titans were here too?" asked Fynn.
"You two take the Titans, I'll deal with Chan" replied Hak Foo.
Fynn readied the Pig, Roster and Horse Talismans as Chow prepared to fire the Dragon Talisman at the Titans. Both of them charged at the Titans, while Chow used the Dragon Talisman at the Titans, Raven uses her powers to shield the Titans from harm of the Dragon and Pig Talismans.
"Titans, split up and take each one of them down" ordered Robin.
Starfire and Cyborg went after Fynn as Fynn lifted himself up with the Roster Talisman. Fynn races toward Cyborg firing heat beam eye beams out of his eyes. Starfire dodges the heat beams and sends several star bolts Fynn's way. As Fynn was dodging the star bolts that were sent by Starfire, Cyborg leaped and grabbed Fynn shoving him to the ground. Raven saw her chance to use her powers as Fynn as prepared to fire his heat beams at Cyborg, Raven used her mental abilities and managed to grab Fynn's medallion that was on Fynn's neck, sending Fynn ramming right into the wall.

Meanwhile Jackie was still have trouble fighting Hak Foo. Hak Foo went after Jackie with a few good kicks and punches. Yet what Hak Foo didn't know was that Jade was grabbing a pie from the cafeteria and aimed carefully at Hak and threw it at him. The pie hits Hak Foo right in the face as he turns around, while trying to get the stuff off of him; Jackie leaped and kicked Hak Foo down to the ground. Chow continued to blast the Dragon Talisman at the Titans.
"Stand still" said Chow as he tried to aim at various members of the Teen Titans.
"Hey catch!" said Jade as she pushed one of the carts toward Chow.
Chow however could not hear what Jade had to say as he was too busy firing at the Titans. Chow gets hit by the cart, sending him out of the cafeteria and into the lobby. As Chow slowly recovered from the sneak attack, Valmont walked in the lobby to see what the uproar was on.
"Chow, what's going on here?" asked Valmont as he grabbed Chow's shirt.
"The Titans and Chan beat up Hak and Fynn" replied Chow.
"I suppose it's time for me to rescue Hak Foo and Fynn" said Valmont as he was getting out a flash grenade.
Valmont threw the flash grenade where the Titans, Jackie and Jade were. A large flash and Fynn and Hak Foo were gone.
"Where did they go?" said Jackie as he was looking around.
"I think their friend Valmont helped them out" said Robin, "we have to get Uncle and find the Ice Amulet before they do."

Valmont gets into the seat next to Bruno while Chow, Ratso, Fynn and Hak Foo got into the back of the van. There in the back they met Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx again.
"You people didn't lose Shendu's Talismans did you?" asked Jinx.
"Uh" was Fynn's only reply.

Meanwhile, Jackie, Tohru and Uncle were heading into the main room of the temple. There the Ice Amulet was sitting in the center. But as Jackie and Uncle were preparing to get the Ice Amulet, Bruno grabbed them by giving them a large bear hug, squeezing the two hard, while Tohru was knocked down by Valmont's new armor.
"This is the easiest amulet I had ever gotten" said Chow as he was approaching the amulet along with Fynn and Ratso.
But before Chow could ever grab the amulet, Robin's disc hits the amulet right out of Chow's hand. Chow continues to hold his hand in pain recovering from the attack.
"I don't think you would be taking that amulet with you" said Robin as the other Titans entered the room.
"So you have decided to stop us?" asked Valmont, "We already have two of your allies currently captured and one knocked out. How do you suppose that you are going to beat us?"
"Cyborg, Beast Boy" said Robin.
Cyborg and Beast Boy brought in Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx unconscious.
"We got three and you have three" said Robin, "so what do you say to a trade?"
"Don't do it, they'll trick you" said Jade as she entered the room.
"Jade, what are you doing here? Oh never mind" said Jackie as he was being squeezed by Bruno.
"Do the trade and let Uncle still be able to have a decent body" said Uncle also being crushed by Bruno.
But before Robin could make his decision, Tohru regained consciousness and charged at Bruno. Bruno threw Jackie and Uncle down as Bruno and Tohru started to wrestle with each other. As Bruno and Tohru continued to fight each other, Jade saw her chance and raced toward the amulet. But before Jade could reach out and grab the amulet, Hak Foo grabs her as she was about to grab the amulet.
"Put me down" said Jade as she was struggling to get out of Hak Foo's grip.
"Beast Boy, get Jade, we'll get the amulet" ordered Robin.
Beast Boy changes himself into a tyrannosaurus and gives a loud roar right in Hak Foo's face. Hak Foo panics and drops Jade as he runs for his life. While Hak Foo was running, Beast Boy as a tyrannosaurus charges at Chow, Fynn and Ratso. All three run like cowards, but Valmont sees a chance he could fire his laser at Beast Boy. He aims carefully at Beast Boy and prepares to fire. But as Valmont was about to fire at Beast Boy, Jackie leaps kicks Valmont to the ground. Valmont dizzy from the attack recovers from the attack and starts to fight Jackie. Robin manages to grab the Ice Amulet from its place and the room starts to shake.
"Titans, Jackie, Jade, Tohru, Uncle we have to get out of here!" said Robin while holding the Ice Amulet.
Everybody managed to get out of the temple before it collapsed. While Robin was about to give the amulet to Jackie, Hak Foo grabs the amulet from Robin's hands.
"Monkey steals fruit from tree" said Hak Foo as he looks at the amulet in his hand.
"You know we really haven't found out what those amulets could really do" said Fynn.
Hak Foo rubs the amulet to make the amulet shine. Suddenly a blue light comes out of the amulet and freezes Robin's legs, making it impossible for him to move.
"Wow, these amulets probably work better than Shendu's Talismans!" said Fynn.
"Here you guys can have these Talismans" said Chow as he threw the remaining Talismans to Robin, "we got something better."
Jackie leaps toward Hak Foo trying to get the amulet away from Hak Foo. But Hak Foo kicks Jackie to the ground and uses the Ice Amulet on the rest of the Titans, freezing them in their place. Hak Foo then points the amulet toward at Tohru and freezes him.
"Come on let's tell Slade what we have here" said Chow.
The Dark Hand and the Hive got into their van and left for Slade's headquarters. Meanwhile Jackie, Uncle and Jade were back at Section 13 busy defrosting Tohru and the Titans with the help of Captain Black and other Section 13 agents. Robin finally regained consciousness as well as the rest of the Titans and Tohru.
"We've got word that the Dark Hand and the Hive are on the lose" said Captain Black, "they're packing amulet heat this time."
"Then we better go" said Robin, "Titans move out!"
As Robin and the rest of the Titans were preparing to head to fight the Dark Hand and the Hive, Jackie went along with Captain Black.
"Please Jackie can I please come with you?" asked Jade.
"No, you stay with Uncle and Tohru" replied Jackie.
"Aw" replied Jade.
"Jade please help Uncle and Tohru to prepare a Chi spell that will disable the magic from the amulets" said Uncle.
"Aw" mourned Jade again as she went with Tohru.
As Jackie and Captain Black were headed toward the direction where the Titans were to help them fight the Dark Hand and the Hive, Jade did not know what her uncle Jackie was getting into so she decided to take the Talismans (at least the good ones) to help out Jackie. Perhaps this would give Jackie the need to fight the Dark Hand and the Hive.
