Alright, last introductory story. Time to meet the last two demon kids.
I still don't own Jackie Chan Adventures.
"Well Jade, we came, like we were told to, so what are we doing here?" Gill asks, getting impatient. Gill along with the rest of the demon kids that had been found were waiting in section thirteen. Jade had told them that captain Black wanted to talk with them.
"Captain Black just wants to make sure that you guys are not evil or something like that." Jade says. But before Captain Black could say anything one of the agents comes running towards them looking anxious and excited at once.
"Sir," The agent says, talking to Captain Black, "We got him." With just those simple words Captain Black turns to Jade and says "I'm sorry, but we're going to have to do this some other time, something important has come up." And he walks off, following his agent.
"What a waste of time," Spark says, "I had plans, Kaze rolls her eyes and says "Yeah, plans with a certain boyfriend of yours." To which Spark glares at her cousin and says "That's none of your business."
Seymour interrupts before either girl could say anything else, "Girls, why don't we spend our time doing something useful?" When the girls looked at him strangely he gestures to where Captain Black had walked off to and says "We're already here, we might as well find out who the him they found is." All the kids grinned mischievously at this and followed Seymour. Somehow, even with nine kids, they managed to get to a spot where they could hear and see what the agents were doing, without being heard or seen themselves.
The sight they see before them is a room full of agents, it seemed like every single agent at the base was there. After a minute they saw that all the agents were glaring at and surrounding a malicious looking young man who clearly didn't work there. This man looked to be in his early twenties and had an evil, wild look in his eyes. All the demon kids, plus Seymour and Frank, thought that this guy looked vaguely familiar. While they tried to think of how they knew him Captain Black walks up to the man.
"You have been caught in the act of attacking and seriously injuring multiple people. And we have reason to believe that you have done this many times before. What do you have to say about this?" The Captain asks. The man stays silent for a minute, then smiles and says "I would have to say that I would gladly do it again. I'd actually be overjoyed about it if it means getting what I want, or even if it doesn't." Charlie and Jade both shudder about what this guy just said. Unfortunately, he wasn't done. "As much as I love being out and about after so long, I really do need to find someone, so if you wouldn't mind I would very much like to go now."
Sparrow suddenly recognizes the voice. She runs out of where they were hiding and runs towards the man. But before just when she got close to him Seymour moves in between them, pushes Sparrow back to the others and glares him. The man looks surprised about Seymours actions, then he smiles wickedly and says "Wow, courage, never thought I'd ever see you have that. The you that I know couldn't be brave if his life depended on it." The man gets a very creepy look on his face as he says "This life, or the next one."
Seymours eyes widen in shock and terror. He shakes his head and steps back right into a wall, looking scared. The man smiles as if this was amusing him and he decides to take it a step further. "I wouldn't worry so much if I were you, it's not like you'll be by yourself. I'm sure your daughter would be glad to join you." Hearing this was too much. Seymour falls to the ground and pulls at his hair, screaming about something.
Kaze pulls Salv and Sparrow out of the room, thinking it would be better if they weren't around this guy. Gill and Spark look at him with fear in their eyes. Charlie Jade and Frank run to help Seymour.
"What's wrong with him?" Jade asks, sounding panicked. Charlie moves to Seymour grabs his arms to keep him from hurting himself. Charlie hesitates, then hugs his friend, and surprisingly gets hugged in return by the demon, who was quickly getting quieter. Jade and Frank look at each other, both confused. Seymour was not acting like himself, at all.
After a few minutes like this Charlie can make out a few words that Seymour was mumbling. "I don't want to go there…" Charlie whispers back "Don't think about it, you don't have to worry about that now." Finally Seymour calms down and comes to his senses enough to stop the embrace between him and Charlie. Instead he just leans against the wall, still clearly shaken.
"Okay…what was that?" Jade asks, thoroughly confused. Charlie stands up and says "It's just something that sometimes happens to people if they think too deeply about something that may scare them. I recognized it because I do the same thing sometimes. I tried to help the way I know how, the way my brother does it." And before Jade could even ask Charlie shakes his head and says "No, I'm not going to tell you what I think about." Jade looks disappointed, but she doesn't push the subject any deeper.
Frank looks at the man, who seemed to be disappointed that the show was over already, and says "Just who are you?"
The man nods his head and says "So sorry, I forgot how dim-witted simple humans are. I'm called by a few names, actually. One of which does not suite my current personality at all. Monk, what a stupid name. Now, Kane, that is a name I can work with."
Jade now looks at the man too, "Wait, your name is Monk and Kane?" The man looks annoyed. "Not quite, this body has both names, I, however, only ever go by the name of Kane. However, if you really want to get technical then you can just call me Monkane."
Charlie looks thoughtful for a second, "Hang on, wasn't Monkane the name of one of their cousins?"
Kane grins again, "Right you are, Charlie. Yes, I am Monkane, son of the mountain demon and your worst nightmare."
Wow, Kane is pretty fun to write. And I'm sorry if you didn't like Seymour's little panic thing. But that sort of thing happens to me, I think about something that scares me and I get sick to my stomach and start crying. Since his thing is a little scarier I decided to make it a bit more extreme. Brownie points to anyone who can figure out what he's panicking about. Until the next chapter. (And no, there isn't anything going on between Charlie and Seymour, don't even consider it. Charlie was just being a friend.)
