Ch. 8: Cave Fight

A few minutes later, Colleen was trying to contact her grandfather on her cell phone. Ice was using Uncle's two finger hit on himself and saying "ow" each time he does it. Drago saw this and grabs his wrist to stop him.

"Ice, stop," Drago said.

"No!" Ice yelled, "I have it coming! Ow! I had the chance to guard Chrissie and keep a close eye on her! Ow! But did I? No! All because of a rivalry with Hsi Wu! Now the goblins are one step closer to freeing their leader, and who knows what they will do to Chrissie when their done with her! Ow!"

"Ice, we'll get Chrissie back," Drago said, "Remember, Jade is with her."

"Besides, it isn't entirely your fault," Colleen said, "It is mostly Bat-Fink's fault too. If he had focused more about the mission and left Chrissie alone instead of treating her like a possession, Chrissie would still be here."

"Make my conscience bother me more why don't you!" Hsi Wu said.

Colleen's phone rang until her grandpa answered.

"Hello," Angus answered.

"Grandpa, it's me," Colleen said, "Listen, the goblins took Chrissie, Jade, and Jimmy. They said they were going to their hideout in the woods. We need your help in finding that hideout."

"Oh no!" Angus said, "I think I may know what the goblins are talking about. According to recent research we've done, goblins are more at home in rocky regions, mostly in caves."

"I think I know where the goblins have gone," Colleen said, "Jade mentioned a cave that is not too far from the camp. They could have gone there."

"Uncle is already working on a spell that will disrupt the Goblin's control over the Shadowkhan," Angus informed, "It can be activated by sunlight, but you have to stall the Shadowkhan until then. One more thing, we packed something in your backpack incase of emergencies."

Colleen looked into her back pack. In it are the Rabbit, Ox, Snake, Monkey, Dragon, Pig, and Rooster talismans. At the cave not far from the camp, Jade, Jimmy, and Chrissie were tied at their wrists and ankles as Baldro. He was admiring the Air Key.

"Finally, we've gotten a key to the doorway," he boasted, "And if the J-Teens want their friends back, they have to hand over the rest of the keys to us."

"But they are on lockdown at Section 13, Baldro," Illry reminded.

"That's their problem."

Mump was observing Chrissie.

"You seem pretty pleasant on the eyes, Lovely," he said.

"Stay away from her, You Ugly Elf!" Jimmy said.

Mump grabbed Jimmy by the shirt.

"You better watch your tongue, Brat!"

Suddenly, something came zooming in. It was the J-Teens using the Rabbit talisman.

"Chrissie!" Ice and Colleen shouted in unison as they ran to untie her. Unfortunately, Baldro blocked their way.

"Shadowkhan, attack!" he commanded.

The Shadowkhan appeared out of the shadows and attack the J-Teens once again.

"Get your talismans, Guys!" Colleen said as she threw the talismans to her friends.

Drago grabbed the Snake Talisman; Cody got the Ox talisman, Ice got the Dragon Talisman; Colleen took the Monkey Talisman; Jade got the Rooster Talisman; Chrissie got the Rabbit Talisman; and Jimmy got the Pig Talisman. Hsi Wu felt left out that he didn't get a talisman.

"Hey! What about me?!" he asked.

Jimmy used his heat beam eye blast to cut the ropes on him, Jade, and Chrissie. Some Shadowkhan jumped toward them. Jade used the Rooster talisman to levitate the ninjas away from them. Chrissie was confused by what she has to do with her talisman.

"What do I do with my talisman?" Chrissie said.

"It's superspeed!" Jade said, "Just touch and use it to ram the Shadowkhan."

Chrissie activated the talisman and rammed a few ninjas. The Goblin Trio has her surrounded. Then, as they got closer to her, they get clobbered by an invisible force. Drago reappeared, showing the Snake Talisman and Chrissie's key. More Shadowkhan popped in from behind her, but they got blasted by Ice and the Dragon Talisman. He ran to Chrissie to make sure she's okay.

"They didn't hurt you, did they?" Ice asked with concern.

"I'm fine Ice," Chrissie replied.

Hsi Wu was a little disappointed about this, so he decides to take it out on the Shadowkhan that surrounded him by unleashing his screech. This caused not only the Shadowkhan, but also the goblins to hold their ears tight. The Goblin Trio looked like they were in pain. This gave Chrissie an idea. Jimmy heat-beamed a few ninjas while Jade has his back.

"Does this happen to you a lot, Jade?" Jimmy asked.

"Yep."

"Cool!"

Colleen turned into an elephant using the Monkey Talisman and swiped the Shadowkhan away from Jade and Jimmy. She changed back and noticed that the sun is rising. Then, they saw the Shadowkhan begin to fade away.

"Looks like your time is up," Colleen remarked.

"Noooooooooo!!!" Baldro screamed out as the Shadowkhan are gone.

"Ooh! Defeated by the Uncster!" Jade remarked.

"We can still get the Air Key!" Illry said angrily.

They were running toward Chrissie, but she got out her sonic device and pushed a button, releasing a high frequency sound. The Trio is screaming in pain.

"My Ears! MY EARRRRRRS!!!" Baldro screamed.

He got out a vile and created a smokescreen to disappear with Illry and Mump. After they were gone, Chrissie ran up to Ice and hugged him. Hsi Wu then approached them.

"Chrissie, now that this ordeal is over, you wanna have dinner with me?" he asked with a smile.

"Please. I barely know you," Chrissie said.

"Oooh. Dropped big time," Drago teased.

Hsi Wu growled in disappointement.
