Chapter 12: In a Pig's Eye:

Jackie's POV:

I was at the Temple of Moccus. He is the boar-or swine-god of the continental Celtic tribe of Lingones. So, it's probably the Pig Talisman. I was searching, but then I ran into Lian Nichang and the Enforcers.

"We'll be getting this Talisman," says Nichang.

I then fought the four, but when we got to the location, we realized that the Pig Talisman was missing.

"Wait, what," we all said.

. . .

I was at Section 13.

"So, if you don't have it," says Captain Black, "and if the Big Man doesn't have it, then who has it?"

"Maybe it was a mutant cyborg," says Dil.

"Or," says Jade, "it was something that makes sense."

"All I know is that it wasn't one of the Big Man's goons," I said.

Shen Du's POV:

"You foolssss," I ssssaid, "how could you fail thissss time?"

"I... do not know, My Lord..."

Then we had a vissssit from a man in a ssssuit.

"A message for the Big Man."

"'e's not 'ere," ssssayssss Hammerhead.

"My boss already knows that the Big Man is that statue."

"There issss only one man who knowssss my identity," I ssssaid, "Could thissss be Wilsssson Fisk?"

"He prefers you call him the Kingpin. Anyway, he has your precious talisman and he's willing to trade it if you and your empire agree to work for him."

I then breathed fire, and everyone dodged.

"You fool! Tell the Kingpin if it'ssss a war he wantssss, it will be a war he will have!"

The fool then left.

"What do we do now," asssskssss Hammerhead.

"In my current sssstate, I can't fight the Kingpin. Hammerhead, Lian Nichang, Montana, Ox, Fanccccy Dan, we have no choicccce..."

Jackie's POV:

I was in the antique shop trying to figure out what happened. Then two shadowkhan grabbed me and took me to the Golden Gate Bridge where I saw all five of the Big Man's goons.

"What do you people want?"

"Relax, Chan," says Hammerhead, "we're 'ere ta make a deal. Da Pig Talisman was taken by da Big May'n's rival, da Kingpin."

"The Kingpin? I've heard of him."

"Da Big May'n's willing ta make a deal. Ya team up with us ta take 'em down and get da Pig Talisman."

"There are just six problems, and five of them are you."

"And the sixth problem," asks Nichang.

"Who gets the talisman?"

"We'll wark dat awut when we beat da Kingpin. So, use in?"

On one hand, I don't trust any of these people, but on the other hand, who knows what the Pig Talisman could do? I doubt it'll make you talk like Porky Pig. I then shook Hammerhead's hand. I am now working with my enemies to take down the Kingpin. What could go wrong?

. . .

Hammerhead, Lian Nichang, the Enforcers, and I were following one of the Kingpin's goons. A man named Roberts. He stopped at Burger Planet.

"Why is he stopping at Burger Planet," I asked.

"It's da Kingpin's favarite place," says Hammerhead.

Roberts then exits with a bag. We followed him.

"Wait," says Fancy Dan, "someone's been following us. I got this."

Fancy Dan then goes to get them, but it's Jade.

"Jade?"

"So, this is why your niece is always with you," says Nichang. "And here I thought you were never good at being responsible."

"Jackie, why are you hanging with these creeps?"

"Jade, it's complicated, but I'm working with them to get the talisman from the Kingpin."

"You're working with the people that have tried to kill you to get a talisman back from a dangerous crime boss?"

"Well..."

"I want in!"

"We don't need some kid ta slow us down," says Hammerhead.

"Jade, the Kingpin, could be very dangerous. He... wait, do you guys know who the Kingpin is?"

"Wilson Fisk," says Montana, "thuh Kingpin nary told us, but we do research."

"He... seriously?" Montana nods. I wonder if any of you knew that. "Anyway, he's very dangerous."

"Awe come on," says Jade.

"Just go back to the Antique Shop."

"Fine." Jade walks away.

"She is very winey," says Nichang.

"At least she doesn't kill people," I said.

"Fair."

. . .

We followed Roberts to Fisk Tower. Montana and I took two guys out and took their clothes. We followed Roberts in.

. . .

We were in the Kingpin's office. We saw him, Wilson Fisk Roberts handed him the bag.

"If I find one fry missing..."

"It's all here," says Roberts.

The Kingpin then started eating his burger. The man doesn't even use a napkin.

"This man's guh-rosser the-yn a pig that haden bathed in yars," says Montana.

"Speaking of pigs," I said, "look, the Pig Talisman."

"Now, there is one issue," says Kingpin, "why are Mr. Chan and Mr. Montana dressed as if they are impersonating some of my boys?"

Montana and I are both shocked.

"But, how..." I began.

"I know my boys."

"Well, Ah gawt news for ya," says Montana, "we gawt some backuhp waitin' outsaahd."

"Alright," says Ox, as he, Fancy Dan, Nichang, and Hammerhead were all captured. "We're saved!"

"He means us," says Fancy Dan.

"Anything use like ta say," says Hammerhead.

"You were right," says Nichang, "we should've checked those bushes."

"The Big Man's going to have to try better than this," says Kingpin, "sit and eat with me, Chan."

"Oh, no thanks..." I saw one of the Kingpin's goons twisting Montana's arm. "On the other hand, that does look really good."

I then had some burger from Burger Planet with the Kingpin.

"You see, all the crime bosses are going to be working for me, so there's no point in fighting."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm making you an offer, Chan. I could use someone like you. Join with me. I could make it worth your wild."

"That's a very nice offer, but... one thing. How and what do you know about the Talismans?"

"You think you're the only one who studies ancient history. In fact, I know a secret about the Big Man that'll knock your socks off."

"Who is he?"

"I'll tell you, if you agree to my offer."

Roberts then notices a plant moving.

"Uh... Boss, either I lost my mind or that plant is walking."

The Kingpin stands up and walks towards the plant. He picks it up and it's Jade.

"So... if Jackie joins you, can I get a video game chair?"

"This kid with you..."

I then jumped on the Kingpin and had trouble taking him down.

"Fun fact about me," says Kingpin, "I'm not really fat. I just look like it. It's actually all muscle!"

Then Kingpin pulls me into a bear hug and begins squeezing me.

"Unlike the Big Man's sister," says Nichang, "who is fat."

"Kid," says Hammerhead, "untie me so I can 'elp yo uncle."

"Can I trust you," asks Jade.

"Use want yo uncle ta be 'ugged ta death?"

As Kingpin squeezes me, Hammerhead rams him. Hammerhead and I ended up working together to fight the Kingpin. It wasn't easy, because he was strong, but I was quick, and Hammerhead had his head.

"Should we help," asks Montana.

"We could," says Nichang, "or we could take the talisman."

They saw Ox eating it. "It's chocolate."

The Kingpin reveals that he had the real talisman in his pocket.

"Now, let's see what this little piggy does." The Kingpin's eyes started glowing. "Yeah, baby." He fired lasers from his eyes. "Guess I'm a Cykingpin!"

"We got ta find a way ta take Kingpin down and get da talisman," says Hammerhead.

"You guys distract him," I said, "I have an idea."

Hammerhead, Nichang, and the Enforcers then walk around the Kingpin.

"You guys are nothing to me," says Kingpin.

He starts blasting at them and they keep dodging. Then I jumped on him and put his burger in his eyes.

"Hey," says Kingpin.

I then took the talisman from him.

"Look, what I got." I then used the power of the Pig Talisman and blasted Kingpin, causing him to fall down his stairs.

"I feel like that should happen to someone else," says Jade.

"Now dat that's done," says Hammerhead, "give us da talisman."

They were prepared to fight.

"Or..." I used the Pig Talisman to zap part of the ceiling, causing it to fall on them. "Let's go!" I picked up Jade and we were running.

"By the way, Hammy," says Jade, "the rest of them were planning on ditching you!"

Hammerhead looks at the others.

"It was Nichang's idea," says Montana.

. . .

The Pig Talisman is now in the vault.

"You know, the Kingpin will probably come after you, right," asks Captain Black.

"I'm used to it by now."

Tommy and the others walked in.

"What did we miss," asks Tommy.

In the next chapter, Dil will learn there's an alien in San Francisco, one that just wants to help people. This version of the Kingpin is based on the one from the Daredevil movie from 2003.
