A/N: Hey guys! One more chapter to go before I take over! I do hope you're all enjoying this! Anyway, you'll also be enjoying two fanon episodes before switching to a JCA or KP episode rewrite! I'll be providing the summary for the fanon episode in the next chapter. ENJOY!
Just as the heroes were getting over the shock of Scruffy's true nature, Jake decided to use the opportunity to use his dragon breath, melting the net, allowing him to be free. "You meddling dragon!" the Huntsman growled as soon as Jake flew over to Rose's side. Just then, the Enforcers came running, wanting to join the fight.
"You guys watch out; these aren't the usual goofy henchmen we usually fight!" Jake warned them as the denizens of the park left in a panic.
"Don't you hate it when the bad guys actually get decent upgrades?" groaned Kim.
"Jade, shoo." Jackie said, casually pushing Jade away so she wouldn't get hurt.
"Awww…" Jade groaned.
"Quick, we need to deal with the Enforcers while taking care of Scruffy! We can't let Daolon get his hands on a single Noble Animal!" Luz said urgently. She then noticed Jackie's stern glare while glancing towards Jade. "Oh, and we have to make sure Jade's safe as well."
Jackie quickly thought of a plan and told everyone, "Rose and Kim, you're with me; we'll help Jake take on the Enforcers. Luz, Amity, Willow, and King will run defense for the Noble Dog to keep him AND Jade safe. Are we clear?"
"Got it Jackie; let's move people!" Kim affirmed as everyone got into their respective conditions. Jackie, Kim and Rose took their combat positions as they faced off with the newly empowered Dark Enforcers.
"We won't make it easy for you and your cheerleaders this time Chan!" Finn shouted at the trio, "You're dealing with powers beyond your wildest imagination!"
"Yadda yadda yadda; once a henchman always a henchman," Kim dismissively said. With words exchanged, the fight was on; Jackie took on Chow while Kim squared off with Finn. This left Ratso lumbering after Rose. Before he could even raise his weapon, the young former Huntsgirl snatched the weapon with her feet, then corkscrewed herself, allowing the weapon to fall flat from Ratso's hands. Jake then landed in between Rose and Ratso.
"Remember me big boy? Round two, let's go!" Jake shouted as he wrapped his serpentine body around Ratso, putting the Enforcer into a tight squeeze. With the large demon man now immobilized, Rose was now free to get a kick, punch, and another kick in.
On the battlefield, Jackie and Kim were slugging it out with Chow and Finn, the villains enjoying their newfound power as they swung their weapons with reckless glee.
"Hard to keep up huh? That's the new and improved Finn you're dealing with Chan, gifted from a great and powerful sorcerer! Oh, I bet you're oozing with jealousy ain't cha?" taunted the Enforcer as he spun his blade.
Jackie, unimpressed, merely caught the blade with both his hands and remarked, "You talk too much." He then managed to clock Finn with a well-timed high kick, still holding the weapon in his hands.
Kim got a laugh out of that. "Like I said, once a henchman…" The teenage super spy was cut off as she dodged a strike from Chow's staff. She then backflipped toward the slide but her legs were soon caught by Chow's chains. Chow was about to drag her, but Kim flipped onto the swing and swung at Chow, knocking him out of the game for a while. "...always a henchman." Kim smirked at the last line as she got free from the chain.
Rose then backflipped onto the slide to get away from Ratso, but Ratso grabbed her legs once she reached the top. "Going down?" Kim smirked as she hopped onto the slide and kicked Ratso all the way down.
"Thanks for the save," Rose smiled.
"So not the drama," Kim smiled back before both of them gasped as Finn approached them with his blade.
"Possible…Thorn," Finn glared menacingly as the three duked it out with Kim and Rose doing black flips and hero pose landings to avoid Finn's attacks. The two then jumped onto the monkey bars and climbed in opposite directions as Finn's blade sliced through the structure. But when the structure collapsed, Finn went down with it and Kim and Rose got onto their feet and joined Jackie and Jake.
"Wait, how did he learn my last name?" Rose asked.
"My best guess, the Huntsman filled him in on the deets," Jake said.
"Of course," Rose groaned, getting back into a fighting stance.
Meanwhile, Jade hid behind the bushes, watching all the action with a huge smile on her face, wishing she could join it. "This is the epic start of the new Mega J Team!" Jade happily exclaimed before her eyes went wide as Ron approached her, clothes torn and scraped from the dogs dragging him around. "What happened to you?"
"Dogs chased cat…" Ron panted. "Had to calm them down…with doggy treats…" Ron pulled out a bag of doggy treats with Rufus inside it, chomping down on the rest. "So, did you find the Noble Dog yet?"
Jade then gasped as she saw Daolon holding Scruffy menacingly with the Huntsman and Monkey Fist by his side. "Scruffy!" Jade exclaimed.
Daolon grinned evilly as he opened up his free hand, waiting to drain Scruffy of his power of immortality. "Surrender your power to the forces of…" Daolon started to say before he felt a sharp pain in his knees, causing him to let go of Scruffy.
The pain was caused by King who rammed his horns into Daolon's legs. "Hey! No one sucks the magic out of my friends!" King growled, pulling his horns out, causing even more pain to Daolon. After getting over the pain, he growled and produced his staff, wanting to take out King, but Luz, holding her staff and Stringbean, stepped in front of the Titan and her adoptive little brother.
"You heard the Titan, pops!" Luz smirked, producing a fire glyph, sending a blast of flames that knocked down Daolon, the Huntsman, and Monkey Fist.
"Oh yeah! I have got to learn how she does that!" Ron smirked as Scruffy ran to Jade.
"Scruffy, here boy!" Jade happily exclaimed as she hugged him.
"Is he OK?" Luz asked as she and King approached Jade.
"Fine as ever," Jade smiled.
"Are you sure he's the Noble Dog? He doesn't look fancy and smells like garbage." Ron commented, earning glares from Luz, Jade, and King.
"Aww…how cute," Ratso smirked, holding out his weapon. "Too bad the little girl has to hand him over." Jade gasped with terror.
Kim and Rose took on Finn and Chow, dodging their attacks with incredible gymnastic-like skill. "Wow! How do you do that so easily?" Rose asked as they were both dodging Chow's staff.
"Years of cheerleading. Squad captain actually," Kim smiled as she delivered a kick to Chow's gut.
"You're so lucky! I was self-taught," Rose smirked before the Huntsman landed near the two.
"Correction: you were taught by the best! By best, I mean, ME!" the Huntsman growled, swiping his staff at the two. Luckily, they both backflipped to safety. After they landed, Rose started to groan as her head started to hurt. More painful memories began to rush through her mind. Kim was immediately concerned, as was Jackie as he approached the two after knocking Finn down with a single punch.
"Are you OK?" Kim asked as Rose groaned louder.
"It's too much…It hurts so bad…They're coming back!" Rose cried out, shuddering with fear while her head throbbed with pain.
"We should get you to the hospital," Jackie suggested.
"We don't have time for that," Kim reminded him as her eyes glanced towards Ratso chasing after Jade with his hammer while she was holding Scruffy.
"JACKIE!" Jade exclaimed as she kept trying to avoid the now buff former Dark Hand employee.
"Hey, we're still not through here!" Jake shouted as he rushed into Ratso, with Willow right by his side. In a flash, the young dragon subdued the demon man's hammer by binding his hands with his tail. Willow followed this up by using her plant magic to make the grass grow, then making it grab Ratso's hammer.
"Wow! Great skills!" Jake smiled.
"Thanks. Plant magic has always been my area of expertise." Willow smiled before commanding the grass to throw Ratso's hammer at Finn.
"My hammer!" Ratso screamed, breaking one of his hands free from Jake's tail. As Finn braced when Ratso's hammer was nearly to his face, the hammer stopped and went back to Ratso's free hand. Jake was so shocked that he let go of the new Dark Chi Warrior.
"You can summon back your weapons like Thor's hammer!" Ron realized with a smile before again realizing. "And that would be so cool if it wasn't going to hurt us."
Ratso heard this and smiled. "Guys, check it out!" he happily exclaimed. Finn and Chao smiled before trying the same thing with their weapons. And just like Ratso's hammer, their weapons magically came back to them. They then had their sights on Jackie, Luz, and King.
"Remote controlled," Chow smirked evilly as the three programmed their weapons onto Jackie, Luz, and King, and they flew them towards the three heroes, ready to take them out.
"Hop on!" Luz ordered. With that, King and Jackie hopped onto Luz's staff then they took off, trying to avoid the Dark Enforcer's weapons.
"WHOA!" Jackie screamed while holding on for dear life. "Wouldn't your mother not approve of you using a flying magic stick?!
"No, she does approve!" Luz smiled. "As long as I don't cause damage in the real world."
"HOW CAN YOUR MOTHER BE OK WITH THIS?!" Jackie exclaimed, beginning to feel sick.
"Long story," Luz smiled sheepishly.
"We'll tell you later though!" King exclaimed, his eyes wide as the weapons were still on their tail.
Ratso chuckled as he and his buddies were having fun with magically controlling their weapons. "It's like playing a video game," he smiled.
Meanwhile, Kim was comforting Rose near a big tree, as Rose's headache began to subside. "Are you feeling OK now?" Kim asked.
"Yeah." Rose smiled, still feeling a little bit shaky. "I'm sorry. It's been happening very recently. Only when the Huntsman says something that's important to him."
"Hey, no big. You've probably been through a lot anyway," Kim smiled sweetly, not noticing the Huntsman sneaking up behind her. "Now we have to make sure Jade and Scruffy stay safe."
"I think not," the Huntsman growled as he grabbed Kim and wrapped her in a powerful vice, trapping her, and Kim struggled to break free. "I'm going to crush you like the pest Monkey Fist says you are!"
"YOU!" Rose growled, ready to take the Huntsman down but she was caught by surprise when Monkey Fist grabbed her by the arm and held her down, twisting it so she would remain in place.
"Don't even think of helping the cheerleader, Huntsgirl!" Monkey Fist smirked evilly as she gave Rose's arm another twist, making Rose groan in pain.
Both Ron and Jake gasped as they heard their girlfriends groan in pain.
"Rose!" Jake exclaimed worriedly.
"KIM!" Ron exclaimed worriedly.
"OK, this is…kind of the drama," Kim groaned as the Huntsman tightened his grip.
"GET AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND!" Ron yelled, using his football skills to rush towards the Huntsman, and then, Ron charged into the magical creature's hunter, sending him to the ground, allowing Kim to break free. "You OK, KP?"
"Never better. How'd you do that?" Kim smiled sweetly while also impressed with Ron's takedown on the Huntsman.
"Just something I learned on the football field. Turns out I can be more than just a running back," Ron smiled.
The Huntsman growled angrily as he got up, ready to strike back against the teen hero couple with his staff. Just then, Amity stepped in front of them, holding a jar of a slimy, purple substance. "Get a load of this, unicorn killer!" Amity smirked, opening the jar, allowing the Abomination goo to flow free, then transform into a giant monster towering over the Huntsman who stopped dead in his tracks. The Abomination then stepped onto the Huntsman, crushing him and taking him out of the game.
"Wow! Spanking! What stuff was in that jar?" Kim asked with an impressed smile.
"Just a little something from my home world," Amity smiled.
Rose groaned, feeling even more pain as Monkey Fist continued to twist her arm, almost breaking it before the half primate villain was grabbed by Jake's tail and lifted into the air, freeing Rose. "Hey monkey man, guess what? You're not the only one with a tail!" Jake smirked, throwing Monkey Fist headfirst into a tree.
"Thank goodness you saved me," Rose smiled sweetly. "You're my knight in dragon form." Jake blushed before Monkey Fist got up and screeched as he ran towards the couple, wanting to take them down before Gus stepped in his way.
"Get out of my way, foolish child before I claw at your face!" Monkey Fist warned.
"You want them? You're going to have to get through me." Gus smirked.
"And me too," another Gus said, popping up from behind Monkey Fist. The British villain turned around and gasped at the sudden appearance of another Gus. That allowed Gus to deliver a punch to Monkey Fist's face, knocking him out cold. Gus then winked at his duplicate before making him vanish.
"Whoa! You can make duplicates of yourself?" Jake asked with an impressed smile.
"Takes years when you're studying illusion magic," Gus smiled.
Meanwhile, Luz was still flying her staff with Jackie and King hanging on for dear life, still trying to avoid the Enforcers' weapons. Luz then smirked as she thought of an idea. "Hang on! Time for some hotdogging!" Luz grinned as she had her eyes glued onto a tree.
"Hotdogging?" King asked, confused by the term.
"Oh no," Jackie gulped, knowing exactly what Luz was planning to do because it's actually something Jade would do. "AHHHHH!" Jackie screamed as Luz flew towards the tree, and right before they were about to crash, Luz flew up and turned around, allowing the weapons to turn around as Luz flew back towards the Enforcers. Then Luz ducked, but the weapons were still coming back to the Enforcers' hands.
"Oh no," Finn gulped, realizing what was going to happen. The weapons then hit the new Dark Chi Warriors, allowing them to disappear in a trace of dark magic dust.
"OK. Now we know how we can get rid of those goons," Rose grinned.
"One strong hit, and they go poof," Kim smiled.
Daolon growled, furious that his new evil alliance has already failed him. "This has gone on for far too long!" yelled Daolon, channeling his dark energy and expelling it, knocking down our heroes. The wizard then levitated Jade and Scruffy from off the ground, leaving them helpless in midair. "I'll be taking the dog by force while the girl will be a blood token for all my troubles!"
Just then, a very familiar chant was heard. "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao, Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao…" then, Daolon was also levitated into the air. Uncle, Lao Shi, and Tohru appeared with Uncle chanting the spell to make sure Daolon was immobilized.
"You will not get those powers as long as we're still standing." Lao Shi warned before the Huntsman got back up and knocked Lao Shi, Uncle, and Tohru with his staff, allowing Dalon to break from Uncle's magic. Jade gasped with terror as Dalon grinned evilly again.
"Oh no! Gramps!" Jake exclaimed worriedly.
Fu Dog immediately rushed to his master and sniffed to see if he was alright. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lao Shi groan in pain. "He's OK." Fu Dog called out.
"Thank goodness." Jake sighed with relief before getting back to his fighting pose. "We got to stop Dalon!"
"Jake, bud, I'm not sure we can go up against a dark chi wizard, let alone a revived Huntsman!" Spud exclaimed.
"I don't care if that goon has magical powers! We can take him," Kim said, also with determination as she and Rose got up.
"Kim's right! I was able to kill a more powerful goon, and I'm not going to let this old coot get the best of me!" Luz exclaimed, also with determination.
"How are we going to stop HIM?" Ron asked.
"We need a distraction," Rose said.
Daolon then levitated Jade and Scruffy closer to him, ready to suck the power of immortality from Scruffy. "Any last words before I put your pooch to sleep?" Daolon asked before being tapped on the shoulder.
"I do," a familiar voice smirked. "SLEEP ON THIS!" Eda smirked as she wacked Daolon with her staff, freeing Jade and Scruffy. Jade smiled at Eda, who grinned back. "I may be an old witch, but I'm always learning new tricks."
Daolon growled as he got up and was cornered by Kim, Ron, Rose, Jake, and Luz. "Well, looks like you're out of tricks yourself," Kim smirked.
"You may have won, but this is actually the beginning!" Daolon promised as the Huntsman and Monkey Fist stood by him, and with one wave of his staff, the trio of villains disappeared.
"Glad to have you join the fight, Eda," Luz smiled.
"Anything's better than hanging out in the billy goat's junk shop," Eda grinned.
"ANTIQUE SHOP! And why did you leave the shop?!" Uncle barked. "You were supposed to be watching it!"
"Hey! Luz and King are my family! And I have a duty to protect them just like you do with yours!" Eda barked back. "I already closed it up for the day anyway! Now pay up!"
Uncle growled, wanting to give the Owl Lady a piece of his mind, but Tohru put a hand on his shoulder. "Sensei, please. She saved us," he said.
"And you did promise to pay her," Luz smirked.
"Fine," Uncle huffed, handing the Owl Lady a large stack of twenty-dollar bills, and Eda grinned.
"Wait! What did the creepy old magic dude mean by, 'This is just the beginning'?" Jake asked.
"Hello! Didn't you read up on those magic rocks?" Ron asked. "The dog was just one of the animals on those talismans."
"Right. And there are eleven more Noble Animals out there, each one with a special power originally contained inside the talismans." Lao Shi explained before the group of heroes smiled as King and Scruffy played chase some more.
Scruffy then happily bounced on King and licked his face, making King laugh. "Oh Scruffy! Your tongue tickles!" King laughed, making everyone fawn over the cuteness that was happening right now.
"Looks like King made a new friend," Eda grinned.
"Yep. But now how do we keep the little guy safe?" Kim asked with a small smile as Scruffy ran into Jade's arms.
"He can live with us at Section 13! He'll be safe there!" Jade smiled before begging, "Can we keep him, Jackie? Please?"
"Uh…" Jackie mumbled. He was not sure about Jade having a dog, let alone a magical one.
"Of course we're keeping him," Uncle said.
"YAY!" Jade cheered.
"OH GOODY! More play time!" King happily bounced up and down, making Luz and Kim smile. King is powerful, but he's also adorable, even if he doesn't want to admit it.
Jackie then smiled as the rest of the young heroes gathered around him and Jade. "Well, I must admit, I'm beyond grateful for all of your help." he said.
"It's no big Mr. Chan." Kim smiled before earning a hug from Jackie.
"Please, call me Jackie." Jackie chuckled, making Kim giggle.
"Not to ruin a good moment but I'm kind of beat after that adventure," Ron said sheepishly, "I'm ready to head back with the Scruffster."
"If we're going back to headquarters, we should go back and celebrate," Jake replied. "It was our first mission as a team and we all did great! We should treat ourselves after all that hustle out there."
Jackie smiled before releasing Kim from the hug. "You make an excellent point Jake. Tell you what: why don't we all get pizza on our way back? My treat." he offered.
"PERFECT IDEA, UNCLE JACKIE!" Jade happily exclaimed.
"Make mine a cheese pizza, with four different cheeses!" Ron requested.
"I'll take beef, bacon and sausage. I need the protein!" declared Jade.
"Cherries, anchovies and chocolate sauce for me," ordered Spud.
"I'd love to try that pineapple topping Luz told me about," Amity said innocently. This earned her odd looks and even a few glares from the others.
"How about we get half and half for each pie? That way everyone gets what they want," Kim suggested diplomatically.
"Some places even do it in quarters for four different toppings. Imagine the variety!" exclaimed Luz joyously.
"This is great, Jackie! This is the start of the brand new Mega J Team! Not just you and me, Uncle, Big T, El Toro, and Viper, but Luz and her Demon Realm team, the American Dragon and his team, and best of all, KIM POSSIBLE!" Jade squealed, momentarily hurting Jackie's ears. "With them on our team, Dalon and his evil cronies don't stand a chance!"
Jackie chuckled at his niece's antics then happily glanced over his new charges. These children proved themselves capable of handling great power and could take on daunting tasks that would make a normal man quiver in fear. Yet it was moments like these that showed just how young and innocent they were. Truly there were many sides to these unique heroes.
As promised, the heroes were rewarded with a feast of the finest deep dish and thin crust San Francisco in the safety of Section 13. Scruffy and King were running around base as everyone else chowed down on their slices. With the Noble Dog now out of the grasp of the evil sorcerer, the atmosphere was much more carefree and casual. Among all the mingling and joking around was Captain Black and Dr. Director surveying the results of their first mission with the other adults.
"Very impressive job, Mr. Chan," Dr. Director said with a smile. "I'm not going to lie though; when Captain Black first told me about your adventures with magical artifacts and demons, I honestly was willing to recommend him to an insane asylum. But after seeing your team with Team Possible, and these magical kids, you have turned me around for the better."
"Thank you very much, Dr. Director." Jackie smiled politely before realizing something, "But one thing though: Section 13 won't be safe for long. Daolon, Monkey Fist, and the Huntsman have already penetrated our security once."
"That's nothing to worry about," Eda smirked before drawing a circle in the air with her finger. "A basic protection spell should keep the bad guys out. Baldy here told me to look it up anyway when we came back."
Jackie stared at Captain Black dumbfounded that his old friend and head of Section 13 already trusted Eda to keep them safe. "Hey, like your uncle said: magic defeats magic," Black smiled.
"Actual evidence of paranormal phenomena, from mystical animals to witches from another world," Director observed and then turned to Jackie and Uncle, "This is definitely something beyond Global Justice or even Team Impossible's scope. It's a good thing we have our Section 13 division and its stalwart agents on top of all this."
"And thanks to Dr. Director, we won't have to worry about my superiors snooping in on my phone calls whenever I mention magic," Black smiled.
"And this is just the beginning!" Uncle interjected. "We still have to make sure we gather up the remaining 11 Noble Animals before Daolon and his associates do!"
"Then what?" Ron asked after finishing his slice.
"Then we'll have to figure out how to make new Talismans to hold each animal's power," Fu Dog explained.
"Noted, which is why I'm making the following proposal," Captain Black was now facing the teen team, "Dr. Director and I concurred that would be in our best interest if we deputized those interested in the joining the hunt for the rest of the Noble Animals. Section 13 would be offering our resources for this larger scale mission; Jackie would be the one to oversee everyone and keep everything in order."
There were gasps from everyone, surprised that they were being officially recognized into a real super team. Excited murmurs arose, wondering what exactly this entailed. "You really mean what you said about deputizing us? We're going to be like junior agents for Section 13?" Ron asked.
"No way! This is my dream career! Being a secret agent!" Spud happily exclaimed.
"I thought your dream career was being a mime." Jake smirked.
"Or a one-man band." Rose smirked.
"Hey! A man can have more than one dream!" Spud defended.
"No fair! You get to deputize them and not me?" Jade pouted. "No offense guys. You guys rocked back there, but I'm the brains of the J Team!"
"J Team?" Ron asked.
"Yeah! For 'Jackie' and 'Jade'! I came up with the name a year ago!" Jade grinned.
Jackie sighed and rolled his eyes. "Don't fret. From how you handled those goons, we'll be needing your brains, I assume," Luz smiled, making Jade smile back.
"Luz is right. In fact, you remind me of a certain little girl like you who I underestimated. And she turned out to be a big help. And if you're anything like her, you're going to be a huge help." Kim smiled, making Jade's smile grow wider. Jackie gulped, hoping Jade wouldn't get any crazy ideas from Kim.
"Normally I'd never even consider asking people your age to join in such a dangerous operation, but you've proven that you all are no ordinary kids," Black explained, "We're even willing to lend our base for your use, complete with living accommodations."
"Only take our offer after careful consideration; this is completely optional, and we don't want any feeling pressured into this decision," Dr. Director followed up. "And since you're all still minors, we need explicit consent from your parents or guardians if you do decide to join the team. We want to keep everything on the up and up."
This got the heroes talking again, even more excited and curious about this next step in their lives. Breaking the news to their parents would be a tough hill to climb, however.
"My dad already knows about the whole dragon business so I can probably convince them to let me stay here in San Francisco," Jake said, "Though Hayley and Grandpa might need to cover for me back home."
"Do not worry, Jake. Haley and I will be happy to help you." Lao Shi smiled. "And I'll be closing the electronics shop for a while so I can move here to keep a close eye on you."
"Thanks, G. You know you don't have to do it. I mean, you have to do because the Huntsman is back and has new cronies." Jake smiled.
"I know. But that is not the only reason." Lao Shi grinned.
"Hopefully my parents understand the situation. I hate to separate from them again, but I can't let the Huntsman run free like this," Rose stated resolutely. Jake nodded, backing her decision.
"Hey Trix, how are we going to convince our parents to let us join something like this?" pondered Spud, the question barely hitting him.
"Relax boy, we got this," Trixie replied, "We just need to figure out a way to…pitch the idea creatively. Yeah, creatively…"
"That will be no problem." Dr. Director grinned, show Spud and Trixie a flyer for what seemed like a private school. "The GJ Junior academy, normally reserved for the best in teen crime fighting. But luckily I can convince your parents that you two have earned an all-expenses paid tuition and will be spending most of your school year in San Fransico and promise to keep them updated."
Spud and Trixie grinned. "I LOVE SECRET AGENCIES!" Spud happily exclaimed. Jake smiled as he knew he wouldn't have to worry about being separated from his best friends.
In between all the conversations, Amity asked Kim, "So are you two going to be joining the team full time? We could really use your help with this stuff; I've never seen anyone move the way you do."
"Yeah! Please Kim? It was always my dream to work with someone like you!" Jade pleaded sweetly.
Kim smiled, loving Jade's fangirl attitude. At least she wasn't obsessed like her cousin Joss was. "Tempting, but sorry. Me and Ron are needed back in Middleton and all around the world." she explained. Jade's smiled faded, and Kim leaned down to face one of her biggest fans. "Don't worry, we're still going to help with the Noble Animal sitch. The moment you guys are on the search for another one, just beep us and we'll be ready to help. And maybe soon, you guys can join us on our missions."
"YAY!" Jade cheered, hugging Kim, making Jackie gulp more.
"I'm personally looking forward to dropping in to hang out with you guys more. You showed me that witches and dragons rock!" Ron exclaimed to Amity's delight.
Eda, who had kept quiet and observed the conversations, stepped up to speak, "Well that's fine and dandy for the humans but as the technical guardian of three witches, I need to know we have your protection on this world. We're still new here and we don't want any trouble popping up now that we have a magical hunter and a human spellcaster on the loose."
Captain Black reassured the witch, "Your crew is under Section 13 protection and accommodations even if you don't join. After all your help, we're happy to look out for our allies. I speak on behalf of the human realm when I welcome witches aboard."
"Woo! You hear that kids; we got the official green card to be here!" cheered Eda, happy that there was one less thing to worry about.
"Looks like we're going to be roommates!" Luz squealed, making Jade smile.
"Section 13 has been pivotal in helping maintain the magical world's secrecy," Lao Shi spoke up with a smile, "Even the Dragon Council has allowed them to operate within their own boundaries. You're all in good hands here."
When it seemed like everything was settled, Jade declared, "Alright, with our team coming together, I've come up with an even better name to make it really official. Watch as the forces of darkness tremble before…the Mega J Team!"
The room fell silent for a moment before everyone let out a collective "Huh!?" Trixie in particular responded further, "We really going with Mega J Team? I mean it's not the worst, but I feel that's something we should all agree on."
"Does the J stand for justice or for Jade?" Gus questioned Jade with his eyebrow raised.
"I mean…can't it stand for justice, Jade, and Jackie?" the young girl smiled sheepishly.
"If we're throwing out names, we need something that makes our goal clear," Ron said. "Since we're defending the Noble Animals from Daolon and Monkey Fist, how about we call ourselves the Defenders?"
"I don't know Ron. I'm pretty sure "The Defenders" is taken for some other team," Luz responded.
"Well how about something cool and mysterious, like the Outsiders?" Willow suggested. "It works because we're working "outside" problems normal humans can't deal with; outside in this case meaning magic and such."
"Hm…no, that name's taken too," Spud said.
Kim then spoke, "Well no matter what we decide to call ourselves, one thing's for sure: the bad guys aren't going to know what hit them!"
That made everyone around her smile. "OK then. Let's get searching," Jackie smiled as the search for the other 11 Noble Animals began. And this was truly the start of a new, exciting adventure with plenty of twist abound for the newly formed teams of heroes.
