"So what does it do?" Jade asked.
"Well the tiger talisman is a bit complicated. When it activates, it's kind of weird. It's supposed to have the power of balance." Dominic stated.
"Cool so anyone who has it can't lose their balance." Jade said leaping on a high stack of books. She quickly lost balance and fell into Dominic's arms.
"Not what I meant." Dominic said setting the girl down. "
She means yin and yang." Uncle clarified.
"That's not even a real power." Jade commented.
"Good, then I will enjoy taking this powerless talisman back to section thirteen so we can put this quest to rest." Jackie said taking the talisman and leaving the room.
"While Jade will enjoy making tea for her dear old uncle." Uncle requested. Jade groaned.
"Oh Jackie!" Dominic called. "Whatever you do, don't activate the talisman or…" She walked into the other room to see two Jackies. "Or exactly that will happen." She face palmed.
Jade and Uncle walked into the room and gasped. The two Jackies looked at one another and screamed in alarm.
"Hmm interesting." Uncle said studying the two Jackies. One them proceeded to start eating Jade's new year candy.
"Hey that's mine!" Jade protested. "Not anymore." Jackie smiled.
"It would seem that Jackie has split into his light and dark halves." Uncle stated.
"He ate my candy! He's evil. Evil!" Jade stated.
"Not evil just lacking in sound judgment without his light half to guide him. So each of you have one half of the talisman?" Uncle asked. Both Jackies held up their halves. "Now you must reunite them to become one Jackie."
"What no way am I joining back up with this wimp." Dark Jackie protested.
"Please no! He is so mean." Light Jackie begged.
"You must restore balance!" Uncle insisted flicking both of them in the head.
"No!" dark Jackie said flicking him back.
"Let me put this another way for you tough guy If you don't put that talisman back together I will." Dominic threatened.
"I'd like to see you try!" dark Jackie challenged.
"Uh guys you might have to postpone your death match we have company." Jade informed them.
They all glanced out the window to see the dark hand enforcers along with a few people none of them recognized.
"Hide the talisman!" Uncle ordered. Both Jackies stuck their halves in their pockets.
"What are we gonna do?" Jade asked.
"Laugh like circus clowns while they beg for mercy." Dark Jackie smiled.
"Run!" light Jackie yelled running for cover.
"Guess we'll never know if two Jackies are better than one." Jade sighed.
"Jade upstairs now!" Dominic ordered.
"No way!" Jade protested.
"This is no place for children!" light Jackie said grabbing her. Both Dominic and dark Jackie took up fighting stances.
"Bet I beat more henchman than you." Dark Jackie challenged.
"You're on!" Dominic smiled as Toru crashed through the front door.
"Chan your coming with…" Toru was cut short as Dark Jackie leapt into the air kicking him in the face knocking the giant out.
"Hey, you didn't even let him finish!" Finn protested.
"I wouldn't push it guys he's in mood." Dominic warned.
As if to prove her point he cracked his neck.
Light Jackie hurried out of the back door but ran into more enforcers. "Fighting is not nice." He smiled.
"Get him!" Ratso ordered.
Light Jackie leapt over them and took off running with the enforcers in pursuit. Jade peaked out the door.
"Jackie light is still packing Jackie moves but I bet he's gonna need some Jade dark to balance him out." She smiled chasing after.
Dark Jackie and Dominic charged and began to fight the enforcers throwing them out.
"That psycho copped my jacket." Chow commented.
"Yeah well check out what I copped." Finn said holding up half the tiger talisman.
Dark Jackie growled as he grabbed Chow and took his sunglasses. The enforcers ran in fear at this new fierce Jackie.
"I win." Dark Jackie gloated.
"Dang!" Dominic sighed. "Wait where's your other half?"
"How should I know?" dark Jackie shrugged.
"I'm going to go find them can you hold the fort down Tiger?" Dominic asked.
"Hmm Tiger I like that." He commented.
"I'll take that as a yes." She said taking off.
The Tiger took off chasing the enforcers.
"He'll never catch us." Finn said looking in the rearview mirror.
"Weren't we supposed to catch him?" Chow commented.
"Shut up!" Finn warned.
The Tiger watched from a high hilltop scoping out the road and seeing the best way to catch his prey. He then proceeded to play air guitar before skidding down the hill and leaping onto rooftops. He followed jumping from rooftop to rooftop before leaping onto a fish truck in front of the enforcers car.
"Its him!" Chow exclaimed.
The Tiger opened the back door spilling the fish and causing the enforcers to skid out of control. He grabbed Finn as he got out of the car. "
Here take it!" Finn offered the half of the tiger talisman.
"What and spoil my fun." The Tiger said raising his fist. Someone tapped his shoulder from behind. "This better be good." He turned only for Toru to knock him out with a fish to the face.
Dominic could sense Jade. She was moving fast so Dominic guessed that she was either with Jackie or chasing him. She quickly caught up. Jade was hiding behind a box of fireworks. Dominic saw that Jackie had been caught by the enforcers.
"Do something!" Jade ordered. Dominic felt as if she had no choice. She glanced down at the box of fireworks.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked.
"Chinese New Year rocks!" Jade grinned
The Tiger sat tied to a chair surrounded by enforcers and Valmont.
"Half a talisman?" He questioned. "It's a start I suppose. Now tell me the location of section thirteen or…" His phone began to ring. "What is it?" Valmont demanded.
"We got Chan." Ratso reported.
"I know. He's right here!" Valmont stated rather annoyed.
"No he's not he's right here." Ratso argued showing him Light Jackie.
"Hello" he waved. "How are you?"
Valmont became incredibly confused and decided to ask Shendu.
"The tiger talisman is the glue that binds the conflicting powers of all the other talismans into one unified whole. If it was divided by Chan, it is likely that Chan himself is divided into light and dark." Shendu informed him.
"So which Chan do we have?" Valmont wondered.
He came back to find Finn, Chow and the Tiger laughing about their car chase.
"You know Chan you're alright." Finn laughed.
"Yeah it's too bad we have to eliminate you." Chow commented.
"Perhaps there is another option. Bring me the talismans from section thirteen and I will make you rich." Valmont offered.
"Works for me." The Tiger shrugged.
Dominic and Jade set off the fireworks just as the enforcers shoved Jackie into a car.
"Section thirteen! There shooting at us!" the two enforcers yelled diving for cover.
Jackie peaked out to open door to see Jade and Dominic signaling him from around the corner. He ran over to them and they ran.
"Jade this is terrible!" Jackie exclaimed.
"I know I shouldn't be playing with fireworks." Jade stated.
"yes that's very true but those bad men captured my other half." Jackie informed them.
"Well, have fun with that." Dominic said turning to walk away.
"Dominic, you have to help him!" Jade ordered.
For the second time that day she felt compelled to follow Jade's command. What was going on with her.
"Jade there is nothing I can do. I don't even know where he is and I have no way to track him." Dominic stated.
"You found me pretty easily." Jade commented.
"That's because you're carrying my scale. It acts like a homing beacon even if you haven't called." Dominic informed her. "What about that Black guy you guys always talking about."
"That's a great idea!" Jade exclaimed.
Jade and Jackie went to section thirteen while Dominic went back to Uncle's shop.
"I need to talk to you." Dominic requested.
"What is it?" Uncle asked.
"What do you know about dark magic?" Dominic asked.
"Eiyah why would you ask Uncle such things?" he demanded.
"Something just happened and I think it might have something to do with the collar I was wearing while guarding the dragon talisman." Dominic clarified.
"I will make tea." Uncle stated. "Now tell me everything." He handed her a cup.
"When I caught up with Jade she asked me, well more like commanded me, and it was like I had to obey her. Like I didn't have choice." Dominic said sipping her tea.
"Hmm you mentioned that you became bound to Jade when she removed the talisman from the collar. Perhaps that bond is growing stronger. I will have to do research but for now it is best that Jade not know about this power she has over you."
"We need section thirteen's help but if Captain Black sees you, he's never going to believe that there's another you that needs rescuing, so you have to wait here. Capeesh?" Jade asked.
Jackie nodded.
"Good now hand me your half of the talisman so I can put it in the vault for safe keeping." Jade said holding out her hand. Jackie gave her the talisman and she entered the bunker.
"Captain Black the Dark Hand captured Jackie!" Jade exclaimed as she burst into his office.
"What? We've got to…" he stopped short when the tiger walked by "You almost had me scamp."
"But I'm serious he's in trouble." Jade insisted.
"Now, Now Jade I just saw Jackie." Captain Black stated. "look there he goes again." Jade turned to see the Tiger walk past.
She laughed awkwardly before chasing after him. "You totally blew it! I told you to wait outside! Cool jacket." Jade commented touching it.
"Get your mitts off it!" the Tiger ordered.
"Why are you being such a jerk!" she growled before realizing who that was but the Tiger had already taken the elevator. A minute later the elevator opened and Jackie fell out. "Alright meanie!" Jade growled grabbing him by the collar.
"Oh was I mean to you? Oh I'm sorry" he apologized.
Jade quickly realized her mistake. "What are you doing down here I told you to wait outside." She stated.
"The bad me stole the talismans." Jackie informed her. Jade took the half of the tiger talisman.
"Most of them anyway." She said. "You've got to stop him!"
"I tried scolding him" Jackie told her.
"I mean STOP him." Jade clarified striking several fighting stances.
"Oh no, fighting is not nice." Jackie protested. Jade groaned in frustration.
The Tiger strolled along with the talismans in hand when Jade ran out in front of him.
"Wait you can't do this." She begged if the dark hand get all the talismans then something really bad will happen."
"So?" The Tiger demanded.
"But you're not evil remember? Uncle said that everyone has yin and yang. You can't be all yang." Jade protested.
"Yang dang doodle dooby doo." The Tiger said pushing her out of the way.
Jade growled in frustration and proceeded to drop kick him in the face. The tiger didn't seem faced but it broke his sunglasses.
"I liked these." He glared at her discarding them.
"oopsy." Jade squeaked as the Tiger charged her but Jackie stopped him mid drop kick.
"It's not nice to drop kick little girls." Jackie scolded.
"See if he has a fighting side then you've got to have a nice guy side." Jade argued.
"Once I give the talismans to Valmont I'll have a rich guy side." The tiger commented moving to pick up the box of talismans. Jade ran and grabbed them. "Give me that you little gnat." The Tiger spat.
"Uh aw name calling is not nice either." Jackie scolded.
The two Jackies proceeded to fight.
"Jackie light might need a little help." Jade commented trying to open the box of talismans. She finally got them open as a shadow covered her. Jade turned to see Toru. "These are not the talismans!" Jade lied quickly closing the box.
Toru grabbed the box and Jade and tossed them both into the back of a waiting car.
"Jackie help!" she screamed. Both jackies stopped fighting.
"Jade!" Jackie called but he could do nothing.
"Too bad, I kinda liked her. She was scrappy." The Tiger commented.
"She's family! We have to save her!" Jackie insisted.
"We do?" the Tiger asked.
"You get to fight more bad guys." Jackie offered. The tiger smiled at this proposition.
Dominic looked up from the book she was reading.
"Something wrong!" she stood up.
"Go." Uncle nodded. "I will continue research."
Dominic bolted, her wings appearing out of white fire. She took to the air as soon as she was out of the shop. Dominic quickly found the building where Jade was and used her powers to force the doors open. Henchmen rushed at her but were thrown back as they approached her. Suddenly the elevator doors opened revealing Finn, Chow, Ratso and Toru.
"It's always Toru's fault. Blame Toru." Toru grumbled before catching sight of her. To Dominic's surprise the two Jackies appeared behind her.
"So which one's on our side again?" Ratso asked as the others took up fighting stances.
Dominic growled baring her sharp teeth and the three of them. The enforcers didn't stand a chance. Dominic grabbed Toru by the collar.
"I'm only going to ask this once." She growled running the tips of her claws along his throat. "Where is Jade?"
"I wouldn't push the dragon. She's in a mood." The tiger commented.
"Top floor." Finn informed her.
"Wow and I thought I was yang." the tiger commented.
"Not the time Tiger!" Dominic growled taking off. She used the stair well to fly much faster than the elevator could go. The shadows began to move the higher she got but for some reason the Shadow Con did not confront her. Perhaps they knew who she was. The same could not be said for the Jackies. She threw the final set of doors open with a violent wind in time to see Valmont wrestling with Jade.
"Drop her!" Dominic commanded.
She charged forward striking him with her claws. The force of the blow knocked him back. He managed to pull Jade's shoe with him and the tiger talisman half flew out. Valmont grabbed it and ran putting it in the statue she had not previously seen just as the two Jackies entered. They were reunited and the statue gave a great roar as it began to come to life. Dominic knew that roar and quickly realized who it was.
"Father?" she half whispered as the great golden dragon rose up.
He was massive as he pushed through the ceiling. Dominic dove using her body to shield Jade from the falling debris. Everything went dark as the debris struck her "Jade!" Jackie called as it buried the two of them.
"I live!" Shendu exclaimed. "At long last my powers restored! Speed, invisibility, astral projection and my personal favorite combustion."
A large fireball appeared in the dragon's hand sending Jackie through a wall out of the skyscraper. He managed to grab a rope and land on a window washing cart halfway down the building. He sighed with relief before calling Captain Black for help. The enforcers entered the room at the sound of the roar.
"Whoa" Finn exclaimed.
"Welcome to Earth." Ratso greeted.
"Good to see you up and about." Chow commented.
"Well the office is in shambles but the lost treasure of Shin she hi should more than cover the cleaning deposit." Valmont smiled.
"Regrettably Valmont you did not provide me with the talismans, Jackie Chan did." Shendu stated.
"A technicality?" Valmont protested.
"Read my lips," The dragon growled getting in his face "No treasure for you."
Valmont backed away. "
Toru, make this deadbeat pony up." He ordered.
The other enforcers got out of the line of fire. "
But master…" Toru protested.
"Do it!" Valmont commanded. Toru reluctantly came at the dragon but Shendu merely levitated him of the ground.
"Need I remind you that I have the power of levitation and super strength." Shendu reminded him flicking him through several walls. He landed on the room of an adjacent building.
Valmont and the enforcers looked on with disbelief.
"Fine treasures yours." Valmont surrendered.
No one had seen that Jackie had climbed back up. He picked up a live wire and through it at Shendu. The dragon roared in pain as electricity surged through his body. He turned glaring at Jackie.
"You!" he growled moving towards Jackie.
"That gentleman would be our cue." Valmont signaled. He and the enforcers ran from the room to escape only to be captured on the bottom floor by section thirteen.
"Who… What are you?" Jackie asked the dragon.
"I am the keeper of the talismans. I am the apocalypse of which legend speaks and I am once and for all your executioner." Shendu growled trying to hit Jackie with his dragon fire. Jackie managed to escape by diving down the open elevator shaft but to his surprise the elevator ascended pushing him back up.
Captain Black and a squadron of men got out in search of Jackie and Jade. None of them could believe it when they saw Shendu leap out the opening he had created and fly away.
Dominic opened her eyes to Jade tapping her cheek.
"Dominic!" she called.
"Ouch." Dominic groaned.
She pushed on the rubble but wasn't strong enough to push it off them in her current form.
"Jade shut your eyes. I don't want to blind you." She warned.
Jade did as instructed. Dominic shifted into dragon form sending rubble. She roared as she immerged and was met with multiple raised guns.
"Wait don't shoot!" Jade called holding up her arms to shield the dragon.
"What is that?" Captain Black demanded not lowering his weapon.
"She's a dragon and she's on our side." Jade assured.
"And you didn't happen to see where the other dragon went?" Dominic asked.
"No idea." Captain admitted.
"It's Ok I will find him." Dominic assured moving towards the opening but Jade cut her off.
"Wait you called that other dragon father, care to explain?" Jade asked.
"Not really." Dominic said walking around her.
Jade growled in frustration. "Tell me!" she ordered.
Dominic was stopped in her tracks.
"Stop doing that!" She glared back at the girl.
"I didn't do anything!" Jade protested. "I just want to know!"
Dominic studied the girl before finally answering.
"Yes, the other dragon is my father. That's why I was charged with guarding the dragon talisman and why I know so much about the other talismans." Dominic informed her. "Happy?"
"Yes." Jade smiled.
"Good." Dominic said moving towards the opening again.
"Not so fast." Captain Black ordered. "You're not going anywhere."
Dominic laughed. "Don't make me defend myself. It won't end well for you." She threatened. "Besides don't you have a Jackie to find?"
She leapt out of the opening taking flight before she could be stopped again.
"Did the demon have any specific markings?" Uncle asked.
"Red eyes, great big claws and sharp teeth isn't that specific enough for you?" Captain Black demanded.
"Thousands of demon monsters have existed throughout history!" Uncle growled.
"And Dominic didn't exactly tell us much." Jade sighed.
"I need more information. A symbol a name anything." Uncle stated as Toru entered the shop. He was wrapped in bandages from his confrontation with Shendu.
"Chan." He growled.
"Go away we have no more talismans." Jackie stated.
"The demons name is Shendu." Toru informed them. Uncle quickly looked up the name.
"Shendu was an evil warlord of a vast kingdom. He was imprisoned by his subjects and the twelve talismans from which he drew his powers were scattered to the winds. He vowed to return one day not only to resurrect his palace but conjure dragon minions to wreak vengeance on the dependents of those who rebelled against him by destroying all of Asia." Uncle read.
"Mom and dad!" Jade gasped.
"Shendu's former palace is located near what is now Hong Kong." Uncle stated. "His vengeance is to begin at the toll of midnight ushering in the Chinese New Year."
"Chinese New Year? That doesn't give us long." Captain Black commented. "We'll take section thirteens fastest transport."
"Finding the demon isn't enough." Uncle stated. "One must have a means of defeating it." He reached for a book on a high stack but he couldn't quite reach it. Toru Kindly handed it to him. "Thank you." Uncle nodded. "I will come with you."
"I will come too." Toru offered wincing in pain.
"Aw that's OK." Jackie assured.
"Toru why help us?" Captain Black asked.
"I am told section thirteen serves donuts on Thursdays." Toru joked.
"I'm sorry, you must stay." Uncle stated.
"No." Toru protested. Uncle gestured for Toru to come closer. The giant leaned closer only for uncle to Flick him in the head.
"You stay here someone must watch the shop." Uncle insisted. Toru didn't protest this time. "Good. Now I must gather some things." Uncle stated.
Shendu sat on a ridge overlooking a valley.
"I thought I might find you here." Dominic said stepping out from behind some trees. She sat next to her father.
"You shouldn't be here Shendu half growled.
"You're angry with me." Dominic stated.
"How can I not be?" Shendu demanded. "At every turn, you ensured that Chan acquired my talismans."
"I did no such thing." Dominic protested. "The only thing I ensured was Jade's safety. It's not my fault the Dark Hand is incompetent."
"Even so you put a human before me." Shendu accused.
"I don't have a choice. I am bound by your magic to her and its getting stronger." Dominic informed him.
This peaked Shendu's interest. "Stronger how?" he asked.
"I have to obey her commands." Dominic stated.
Shendu couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not funny!" she growled.
"No, it's not but you are in quite a predicament." He commented.
"You wouldn't happen to know how to reverse this?" Dominic requested.
"No." Shendu informed her.
Dominic noticed the dark scorch marks on his back from where he was electrocuted earlier.
"You are injured! Let me heal you." Dominic requested rising up.
"That is what the horse talisman is for." Shendu reminded her as the scorch marks began to disappear. Something else caught her attention.
"They're coming. I can sense them." Dominic informed her father.
"Let them come." Shendu growled.
"Father, if Jade is there I cannot disobey her and I am bound to defend her." Dominic reminded him.
"Whatever happens, know that you are still my daughter." Shendu assured pulling her closer. "It's time." He rose to his feet and flew off.
"This is it." Uncle stated.
"Uh what is?" Captain Black asked looking at an empty valley.
"Where the inscription indicates the castle is." Uncle stated. Suddenly, Shendu's palace sprang from the ground leaving everyone in shock. "See? Never question the inscription." Uncle smiled.
Shendu appeared in the sky and landed within the palace walls. He used his claw and began to tear a rift between the worlds.
"What is Shendu doing Uncle?" Jackie asked.
"Releasing his dragon minions." Uncle informed him.
Shendu roared to call the dragon minions forth.
"Alright lets light him up." Captain Black ordered raising a bazooka.
"No!" Uncle protested. "Shendu is immortal. Magic must defeat magic." He held up a potion he had made.
"Men!" Captain Black commanded. They stood down.
"Jackie this balm will enable you to penetrate Shendu's demon shell and remove the talismans." Uncle stated.
"Remove? All twelve?" Jackie asked.
"Not if you are cunning like Jade." Uncle instructed pouring the balm on Jackie's hands. "Certain talismans offer Shendu not firepower but sustenance. For example, if you remove the rat talisman Shendu will revert back to a statue."
Jackie nodded and proceeded to climb the palace walls to get to the demon.
"Soon my warriors." Shendu promised. "Midnight draws near."
Jackie leapt through the air surprising Shendu as he searched for the talismans. Shendu knocked him off his back.
"How many lives do you possess." He growled.
Jackie looked down to see that he had the sheep talisman but he couldn't remember what it did. Jackie quickly found out as the talisman activated.
"Astral projection! Of all the useless talismans! What am I supposed to do with that!" Jackie yelled.
"He's out cold! Men!" Captain Black ordered.
"No! Magic must defeat magic!" Uncle insisted.
They stood down.
"Mm fresh meat." Shendu commented just as Jackie's astral form returned to his body. Jackie dodged out of the way and managed to grab another talisman.
"My talismans!" Shendu cried realizing what he was doing.
A dragon blast sent Shendu back into a wall.
"You cannot harm me Chan. The horse is the healer." Shendu commented.
He charged forward with super speed knocking Jackie on his back. One of the dragon minions tried to take a bite out of him.
"That tears it! Men!" Captain Black ordered but Uncle knocked him out which a pressure point squeeze to the shoulder.
"Who else wants a piece of Uncle!" He threatened.
The men stood down. Shendu and Jackie circled one another. Shendu tried to use his super speed again but ran into a wall allowing Jackie to snag the monkey talisman and turn him into a rabbit.
"Cute!" Jackie smiled but Shendu fired his heat beam eyes at him causing him to run screaming. Shendu used his invisibility to steal back the talisman and change back to normal.
"Monkey see monkey do!" he exclaimed trying to turn Jackie into a monkey.
Jackie dogged and the magic hit a statue instead allowing Jackie to grab the Ox talisman. He drop kicked the dragon sending him flying back.
"The strength talisman, good one." Jade commented.
"I know right. Jackie smiled before realizing who he was talking to. "Jade how did you…"
"Your hands!" Jade interrupted. I get it that must be some Uncle magic…" She didn't get a chance to finish as Shendu grabbed Jackie.
"Talk later!" Jackie called. He used the Ox talisman to free himself.
"The playing field is almost even." Jackie groaned as he pushed against the dragon.
"You may have the Ox but relative to me all that makes you is a very strong mouse." Shendu commented picking him up by the feet and shaking the talismans out of him.
"No! All of Asia is counting on you!" Jade gasped as the bottle of balm rolled to her feet. "And me."
"A pitty you will not get to see my reign in your world but you will be the first to see theirs" Shendu said offering Jackie as a snack to his minions.
"Hiya!" Jade yelled leaping onto Shendu's back causing him to drop Jackie. He threw her off as she pulled out the dog talisman.
"You little…" He growled stalking towards her.
A great roar filled the air but it was not Shendu, it was Dominic. No longer able to fight the pull she slammed into the ground between her father and Jade. The force of the impact forced both of them back. The young dragon turned towards her father baring her teeth.
"I'm sorry." She whispered before attacking him.
The two dragons wrestled to the ground in a flash of teeth and claws. Shendu being the much larger dragon easily won. He threw her against a wall dazing her. The distraction allowed Jackie to remove the rat talisman.
"No!" Shendu cried as he was turned into a statue and the portal to the other world closed.
The section thirteen agents all cheered. "What happened?" Captain Black asked regaining consciousness.
"What have we learned?" Uncle asked.
"Magic must defeat magic." The agents recited.
"I will have my revenge if it takes another 900 years!" Shendu threatened at Jade and Jackie approached.
"No rat means that you're just a statue and no dog means you're not immortal." Jade said raising the dragon talisman.
Dominic pushed herself up shaking her vision clear.
"Jade don't!" Dominic yelled rushing forward to stop her but she didn't make it in time.
Shendu screamed as the statue was destroyed. Tears filled Dominic's eyes at the horror of what she had just seen. Her worst nightmare had come to pass. She turned and approached Jade with her teeth bared. "
Do you know what you've just done?" Dominic growled. Jackie stepped in front of her. "You are very lucky that I am bound to you." She threatened as the place began to shake. "I would get out of here if I were you." She took to the sky getting as far away from Jade as she could. She wasn't sure how long the magic would prevent her from acting on her rage. Jackie grabbed Jade and carried her out.
"But the talismans!" Jade protested.
"No time!" Jackie said getting them out of the palace.
Fireworks began to light up the sky as they reached the others. Uncle immediately flicked Jackie in the head.
"You destroyed the demon! Yin and yang, now the world is out of balance! Nobody told you to destroy the demon!" Uncle yelled.
"Jade did it." Jackie blamed.
"Now there is a void for a new stronger evil to fill!" Uncle informed him.
"Maybe that's what Dominic was talking about." Jade suggested. "I just thought she was angry about her dad."
"That probably didn't help." Jackie commented.
Jade looked up at the sky thinking about her own parents. "
You should visit them." Jackie suggested guessing her thoughts.
"They might want me to stay." Jade worried. "Would that be so bad?" Jackie asked.
"For you." Jade challenged.
