Chapter 7: Father's Agents?
As Sector V's ship landed near Father's mansion, Number 1 gave the orders to load the weapons and combat gear.
"What about the prisoners?" asked Number 2.
"Don't worry" replied Number 1, "they're locked in their cage. They won't be going anywhere."
As Sector V got out of their ship, they started to cover and spread out the area. As they got closer to the mansion, they started to head inside.
"Where's Number 86 and her squad?" asked Number 4.
"They might have been around the mansion listening to Father's plans" replied Number 1, "but we have to be on our guard."
As Sector V traveled through the main hallway, they entered a dark room.
"I can't see a thing here" said Number 5.
"Then let me light up the place for you" said a voice.
Suddenly the room lid up as Father stood standing in front of them.
"I'm glad you have decided to come and see my demonstration" said Father.
"This time we're prepared to deal with scum like you" said Number 2, "we have your agents captured back in our ship."
"Those are my agents?" laughed Father, "They were hardly agents for me at all!"
"Are you bluffing?" asked Number 1, "These two caused a lot of trouble for the Kids Next Door. They must have been some of your elite agent."
"How can they be my elite agents when my elite agents were right here in my mansion?" asked Father, "The archeologist and his pesky niece were merely diversions for my loyalists to get the material needed to build the ancient super weapon."
"Looks like we just came in time to smash your plans into pieces" said Number 4.
"That's what you think" said Father as he gave the signal.
Suddenly Ice Cream men closed the door that Sector V entered. And Hak Foo entered along with the Delightful Children followed by Valmont, Chow, Ratso and Fynn.
"Now you Kids Next Door of Sector V are going to stay with Number 86 and her squad" said Father, "I am planning to give a demonstration on what this super weapon can really do. Now take them away until the preparations for the demonstration until the finishing touches are done. They can join their friends in prison."
Meanwhile back at the ship, Jackie and Jade were trying to reach the Pig Talisman that was the closest to the cage.
"If I can only reach it" said Jade as she reached her hand from the cage, "we can use the heat beam eyes to melt these steel bars."
"Good idea" added Jackie, "I think I am able to get that. Let me do it."
Jackie managed to grab the Pig Talisman. After that, he used the Talisman's magic to melt the steel bars, setting both Jade and Jackie free. They grabbed the bag of Talismans that was on the stool nearby and started their way out of the ship.
"Jackie, don't you think we should call in Captain Black and the rest of Section 13 for reinforcements?" asked Jade.
"Good idea" replied Jackie, "hopefully my cell phone is in the right range."
As Captain Black's cell phone rang, Captain Black picked it up.
"Hello?" asked Captain Black on his cell phone.
"We are need of some assistance" replied Jackie.
"Where are you?" asked Captain Black.
"Give me that" said Jade as she grabbed her uncle's cell phone.
"Hello, Jackie?" asked Captain Black.
"Sorry for the interruption" replied Jade, "but we have been captured by an organization known as the Kids Next Door who are after this Father character and whatever he's planning to do."
Suddenly there was silence on the other end of the line.
"Hello, Captain Black, are you alright?" asked Jade.
"I'm fine" replied Captain Black as sweat started to run down his forehead.
"So will you send us back up?" asked Jade, "We're at Father's mansion. We can give you the coordinates."
"Don't move a muscle" replied Captain Black, "I'm coming there alone."
"Alone? Are you insane?" asked Jade, "The Dark Hand are in on the deal with Father."
"All the more reason why it's personal with me" replied Captain Black, "Captain Black out."
"So did Captain Black said he will send in some reinforcements?" asked Jackie as Jade gave back the cell phone.
"I don't know" replied Jade, "when I told him about this organization known as the Kids Next Door and about Father, he sort of was silent about it."
"Hmm, that's pretty strange, even for him" said Jackie, "Captain Black has been gone for a long time even when I first met him as a kid. But I think we should come up with a strategy if we would like to turn this Father in along with the Dark Hand to the property authorities."
"But you thought he was a reformer?" asked Jade.
"I was naïve" said Jackie, "I thought he would provide me with a better job. But now that's in the pass. Perhaps it's time I should have a chat with Father."
"Well, at least we should use the Snake Talisman to sneak pass any security" said Jade.
"Good idea" added Jackie as he took the Snake Talisman from the bag, "you stay here."
Jackie used the Snake Talisman and went into Father's mansion. He passed the Ice Cream men who were guarding the entrance. After that, he went down the hallway, but then hide behind a corner as he heard some familiar voices passing by.
"So what's this super weapon Father has been building?" asked Ratso.
"Yea, without Chan bugging us, we were able to grab the pieces for this super weapon" replied Fynn, "and even I don't know what it looks like."
"It's suppose to be some sort of large ray gun or cannon or something similar like that" added Chow.
"Well, whatever it is" said Valmont, "at least this time we didn't run into Chan since he was being hunted down by the Kids Next Door organization. You think with such a large underground organization like that, they would have figured out that Jackie Chan wasn't one of Father's agents."
Jackie then carefully passed the four Dark Hand members and slipped pass more Ice Cream men who were patrolling the area. He then made his way into Father's main chambers. He then noticed that Father was in the chair discussing the finishing touches of the super weapon with the Delightful Children.
"Everything is going according to plan" said Father, "I have prepared a special seat for you my children."
"Yes Father" said the Delightful Children, "it would be an honor to have the first shot of destroying the Kids Next Door Moon Base."
"Now go my children" said Father, "tonight shall be the night that KND Moon Base will be destroyed. I have already hackers ready to hack the Kids Next Door satellite system so that we can use that super weapon to also destroy their Artic Base as well. Now go my children, I don't want to hear a peep out of you until everything is ready."
As the Delightful Children left, Father looked around the room to make sure there was nobody there. He then turned on the computer screen that had Mr. Boss on-line.
"So, Mr. Boss, how is everything going?" asked Father, "Are you almost finished yet?"
"My men are putting the finishing touches with the super weapon" replied Mr. Boss, "it will be ready in about five hours."
"Excellent" said Father, "just perfect timing for nightfall. I want to make the adult victory light up with fire works!"
"That would be nice" said Mr. Boss, "transmission out."
Suddenly Jackie decided it was time to take action. While still invisible, he leaped and kicked Father to the ground.
"What the heck just happen!" cried Father as he looked around.
"You tricked me!" said a voice.
"Who are you?" asked Father as he lid up his flames, "Show yourself!"
"Very well then" said Jackie as he revealed himself.
"But, how?" asked Father, "How are you able to make yourself invisible?"
"Why should I tell you?" asked Jackie, "You never fully told me why you wanted those ancient artifacts."
"I was basically using you as bait" added Father, "to make those Kids Next Door think you were one of my loyal agents. But a loyal agent doesn't betray his boss by attacking him. I now have captured two major KND squads thanks to you as a diversion."
"I'll make sure you will never get away with this" said Jackie as he got into his fighting stance.
"Suit yourself" said Father, "but you won't be able to touch me when I am red hot!"
Father lid up his flames again and charged at Jackie. Jackie then dodged the attack and leaped and kicked Father to the floor. Father then got up and fired some flares at Jackie. Jackie leaped back and dodged them. He then raced toward Father and punched Father to the wall. Father then recovered from the attack and charged up a fireball and fired it at Jackie. Jackie raced around the room and dodged the fireball.
"Face it Mr. Chan" said Father, "you are no good of an archeologist. It seems like I have to fire you!"
Suddenly a strange beam came toward Father and blew up the desk that was next to him.
"What the!" cried Father, "Don't tell me you have back up!"
"Actually he does" said Jade as she appeared in front of the door.
"Jade, how did you get pass the guards and the Dark Hand?" asked Jackie.
"Hello?" replied Jade, "I used the Roster and Rabbit Talismans."
As they were about to make their advance on Father, suddenly the door was busted down and the Ice Cream men used stun guns to knock both Jackie and Jade out. As they both fell unconscious, Valmont along with Chow, Ratso and Fynn entered.
"So it seems like we have some intruders here" said Valmont.
"Good thing we heard your screams" said Ratso.
"Don't worry" said Father as he dusted himself off, "take these intruders and place them with the Kids Next Door operatives who were captured. I want to give them a front row seats of our demonstration of the super weapon."
"Hey, look what else we found" said Chow as he picked up the bag of Talismans.
"Yea, these things did a lot of good for us" said Fynn as he took the bag from Chow.
"That's not important right now" said Father, "we are close to victory. But if you want to keep something as a reward, whatever you call in that bag can be that reward."
