A/N: I do hope you all don't mind me posting a chapter every two days. And you can expect plenty of other characters to appear in various episodes! Also, I became a huge fan of The Owl House thanks to my best friend introducing it to me. I honestly thought I wouldn't like it because I couldn't get into Gravity Falls or Star Vs the Forces of Evil, but he made me a fan! Expect plenty of fluffy Lumity moments! Enjoy! R&R!
Within the confines of Section 13, Jackie Chan, martial artist, archaeologist, and unsung hero was up at and about at night…heating up a teacup of water in the microwave. With a ding, he opened the microwave's door and took his cup, dipping a teabag into it.
"Some herbal tea to lull me to sleep," sighed Jackie as began taking of his drink. At that very moment, Jackie heard a very familiar voice call out, "Hey Jackie!"
The martial artist sputtered out his tea and swerved around to see his niece, also up and about in her pajamas. Startled, Jackie croaked, "Jade you should be asleep!"
Unfazed, Jade merely smiled and replied, "So should you and I know just the thing to help you unwind! First, we jump on some rollerblades and set up trashcan goalposts, then we'll slip a few talismans out of the vault, and…"
Not wanting to entertain Jade's idea for "unwinding", Jackie gently grabbed her shoulders and started ushering her back to her room. "Just because I can't sleep doesn't mean you don't have to," he said. Jade could only give a small groan in response.
While the niece and uncle were having their nighttime chat, something ominous was happening in the bowels of Section 13. A red vortex pattern appeared on a brick wall, allowing Daolon Wong to pass forth. Looking his scepter as it glowed brightly, Daolon gave a satisfied smile, "I am near."
As he casually wandered the halls of the agency's building, guards caught sight of him from their office and were flabbergasted, shouting, "How'd you get in here!?" Wasting no time, the guards rushed out and drew their weapons, cutting off Daolon's path. Aiming their guns, one yelled out "Freeze," thinking it would intimidate the old sorcerer.
Naturally, Daolon was unimpressed, lifting his hand to direct the flow of his magic onto the guards, levitating them upwards. Once pinned to the ceiling, Daolon's magic caused the tiles to melt and wrap around the agents, incapacitating them non-fatally. As if nothing happened, the wizard continued his merry way.
Once he made his way to the vault, Daolon used his dark magic to blast the steel door away, giving him a clear view of the treasure he so coveted.
"Ah, the Talismans of Shendu," Daolon said, approaching the container that held the mystical items. With one hand, he melted away the glass casing, his eyes filled with manic glee. "So close, I can feel the twelve powers of the Chinese zodiac!"
As the wizard was working his magic, a second player and his allies were now making their move; busting a vent grate out of the way, Monkey Fist and his troop of monkey ninjas swarmed into the building.
"At last, we've reached the proverbial treasure cove!" Monkey Fist shouted triumphantly. "We would have been much sooner if you all boarded the boat with me instead of insisting on taking a plane."
One of the monkey minions screeched out a series of simian noises in protest to which Monkey Fist merely rolled his eyes. "Oh for heaven's sake, how long are you lot going to milk that "seasickness" excuse? I had to tough it out in the rain and you don't see me complaining."
Scanning the area, the British lord smirked when he noticed there were no guards, unaware they were bound and gagged to the ceiling. "Seems the fools in Section 13 decided to leave the area unguarded. Whether out of confidence or oversight, it's one mistake they'll soon regret; monkey ninjas, go forth! We seek the vault and in turn, unlimited power!"
The troop and their human leader then set out in search for their prize, a few monkeys screeching out in excitement. Once the simian squadron left the area, an even more unusual sight came into view; a portal opened on the floor, spitting out the remnants of the Huntsclan. Huntsman managed to stick the landing while 88 and 89 fell flat on their faces.
"That hurt…" 89 groaned, lifting himself off the floor.
"But it was a good test run," 88 said brightly, dusting himself off and pulling out a small bronze mirror. "Now we know that Japanese ungaikyo portal works for real. Shifty magical merchants rock!"
Huntsman merely studied his surrounding solemnly, "Are you sure we have the right location 89?"
"I sure am Huntsmaster! According to the info I gathered from the magic forums on the Internet, we should be the heart of Section 13, an agency dedicated to collecting all items deemed supernatural. This should be where they're keeping those talismans you mentioned."
The dragon slayer's steeled with determination upon hearing this confirmation. "The Talismans of Shendu were said to hold great power once all twelve were gathered. Once we have them in our possession, the magical world will have no way of stopping us as we build the Huntsclan up. And they'll certainly be unable to stop us once we exterminate every single beast and sorcerer from this plane of existence!"
Always one to undercut his boss' grand and dark speeches, 88 spoke up, "So what does happen when we gather all twelve? Does Shendu show up and grant us a wish? If that's the case, shouldn't there be seven talismans?"
"You dork, there's twelve talismans to line up with the zodiac," 89 shot back, "So there's a Virgo talisman, a Capricorn talisman, a Taurus talisman…"
"Enough," the Huntsman growled, having no time for foolishness. "Let's look for the vault before the guards arrive."
"Yes Huntsmaster sir!" the two lackeys said in unison and with that, the magic hunters started searching for the vault.
After that trio left, another came onto the scene, this time by taking a rope down an opening in the ceiling. Climbing down there the Dark Enforcers, clad in classic black burglar outfits.
Ratso, ever the oaf, fell on his hindquarters and let out a small cry of pain, leading to his companions shushing him. The Enforcers walked the halls, noticing how surprisingly empty it was.
"Sweet, no guards in sight!" Ratso noted with delight, which earned him another shushing.
The Dark Enforcers then made their way to the vault unaware of just how much competition they had.
As Luz, Amity, and the rest of the Owl House gang continue their nightly stroll on the streets of San Francisco, Amity stopped and her eyes went wide, clearly sensing some trouble. Even though everything was OK back home in the Boiling Isles, the Blight could sense evil might be near them. "Amity, are you OK?" Luz asked with concern. Her girlfriend's silence made her even more concerned.
"Hey Bossy Boots, what's up with the silence? You're freaking everyone out." Eda spoke up.
"Guys, something's up. Something…evil." Amity said.
"Amity! We've already defeated Belos!" Willow laughed, believing her friend, then enemy, then friend again was overreacting. "Just relax! We're on vacation."
"Guys, trust me. I don't think whatever I'm sensing is coming from the Boiling Isles, but whatever's happening, it's not good." Amity said. Deciding to trust her girlfriend, Luz nodded.
"OK. Why don't you lead us to where it might be happening, and we'll be right by your side, ready to blast the evil away?" Luz smirked, making Amity smile back.
"But what about more of the night life?" Gus asked, a little disappointed they're cutting their tour short.
"Yeah! I haven't even got to see the Golden Gate Bridge!" King added.
"King, it's not really made of gold." Luz said, deadpanned.
"OK, Bossy Boots. Lead us." Eda sighed. Amity nodded and began to lead her friends towards the alley and phone booth where Amity sensed the disturbance.
"Uh, Amity, are you sure you ain't tired or just anxious?" Willow asked, confused as to why Amity led them to a phone booth.
"Guys, believe me! It has to be here!" Amity said. "Luz, didn't you once tell me about secret bases underground in spy movies?"
"Uh, yeah, but I'm sure this is a simple…" Luz said, also confused.
"I'll take care of this." Eda smirked. She then used her staff to blast a hole in the ground, almost shaking up the whole city by the blast.
"EDA!" Luz scolded. "We're supposed to be on vacation! What did we tell you about using magic like that?!"
Eda just grinned and shrugged. "Hey. Bossy Boots had a theory and I figured I would help to see if she's right." she said. Amity and Luz looked down and saw Section 13.
"Wow. There really are underground spy bases. I wonder if James Bond is based on a real person." Luz smiled in awe, amazed that what she saw in the movies was actually real.
"OK. Let's dip in and investigate. Eda's blast might have alerted the bad guys, so they'll be coming for us. We better hurry." Amity said. With that, Team Owl House dipped inside and began walking the halls, with Luz still in awe over being in a secret agent base.
"Whoa." Luz gasped. "I honestly thought there would be agents and guards at every point."
"Maybe they've already clocked out for the night." Gus shrugged.
"Or maybe the bad guys might have got here first. We have to hurry." Amity said. With that, Team Owl House traveled through the halls, searching for evil.
Meanwhile, Jade creeped into her uncle's bedroom, having woken up from the loud noise that shook the underground base. She then rushed to Jackie's bedside and tried to get him to wake up. "Jackie! Wake up!" Jade said, but Jackie just mumbled and remained asleep. Jade growled to herself. "Jackie! Something's happening! We gotta go investigate it! Might be the Dark Hand!"
"No no…I haven't even studied…" Jackie mumbled.
"Wow. You're a heavy sleeper." Jade quipped. "Guess I'll have to do some recon."
Later, Jade was fully dressed, and had on her roller blades, hockey helmet, elbow and knee pads, and carried a hockey stick. She looked around the lobby, finding it completely empty. "Guards must be on a break." she shrugged, unaware that above her, the guards were trying to scream for help. The tomboy then skated towards the vault, thinking the Dark Hand were after the Talismans, yet again.
Back outside and in the skies, Jake, in his dragon form, was patrolling the streets, having his eyes out for the Huntsclan, while Rose rode on his back. Rose smiled to herself as she kept her eyes open. Spud, Trixie, Lao Shi, and Fud Dog covered ground patrol. "You know, I can't believe you didn't want to put on your old uniform for this." Jake commented, remembering that Rose had a Huntsgirl outfit.
"I wanted to show you that I'm still on your side." Rose smiled. "Besides, black is not my color."
Jake smiled at that. "Huh, no trouble anywhere, so far." he noticed. "Yo Spud, anything on the ground?"
"Actually yeah. You two gotta come see this." Spud said. "And it ain't good."
Jake and Rose nodded as Jake landed towards the hole that Eda made. Lao, Fu Dog, Trixie, and Spud were already there. They believed that the Huntsclan made that hole. "Looks like the bad guys beat us to the punch." Fu Dog commented.
"Wow. Looks like some sort of secret agency." Jake said as he looked inside. "What do you think's in there, Gramps?"
"No telling what, but this location might hold something the Huntsmaster needs dearly to rebuild his evil empire." Lao said.
"Then we have to go down there and stop them." Rose said. With that, Team Dragon dropped in and began searching the halls for any signs of the Huntsclan. Spud got distracted by the high-tech control system.
"Whoa! Secret agent stuff! This is better than Jason Bourne." Spud smirked, wanting to push a button before Trixie grabbed his hand.
"Spud! There's no time for fooling around!" Trixie scolded. "Try being a genius for once!"
Spud pouted. "I would if you would have let me push that button." he mumbled as he and Trixie followed the others.
Back outside and above ground, Kim and Ron have arrived in San Francisco, with Ron yawning loudly, still trying to get up and moving. "Oh man, I hate these late-night missions." Ron said. "Why couldn't Monkey Fist have taken time off and be with DNAmy. That way we only had to deal with Drakken, Shego, and Dementor. The big bad three."
As soon as they reached the entrance to Section 13, they stopped at Eda's hole. "Oh no. Monkey Fist might have beat us to the punch." Kim gasped. She then reached for her Kimmunicator. "Wade, we're here, but so is Monkey Fist, from the size of this hole. Can you hack into the cameras and see when he got here?"
"No problem." Wade smirked, typing commands into his computer, accessing Section 13's many cameras. "Huh. Monkey Fist arrived before you guys. But apparently, the hole was made right after he broke in."
Kim and Ron were confused. Why create a big hole near the entrance if you already broke in? "OK. Weird. But we got a bad guy to stop." Kim said with a determined grin. "Ready, Ronnie?"
"Oh you know it! Time to smack the monkey!" Ron said with a cocky grin, making Kim smile. They then slipped into Section 13 and walked through the halls, trying to find Monkey Fist.
Jade skated confidently through the halls, ready to take on any bad guy. Her gumption was admirable given that she only had a hockey stick to defend herself with. But it wouldn't be like Jade Chan to sit out danger.
"Alright Dark Hand, come out, come out from wherever you're hiding-oof!" Jade fell on her backside after rolling into two strangers. Jade wobbly got back on her feet as she got a good look at who she bumped into; it was two girls, one with purple hair and wearing a beanie cap, better known as Amity and Luz.
"Hey who are you guys?" Jade questioned, gripping her hockey stick tightly.
Luz, caught off guard by this chance meeting, breaking out in a flop sweat as she tried coming up with an excuse. "Well see, we're actually guards sent here because wow it's super understaffed here, did you notice there's no one back there? Our street clothes are for undercover because we don't want to tip off suspicious people like yourself! That's it that makes perfect sense!"
Jade stared at the awkward, sweaty girl incredulously, not buying a single word she said and instead marveled at just how bad Luz's cover story was. 'I could have come up with something better in even less time,' Jade thought to herself.
Even Amity could only sigh in exasperation at her girlfriend as she drew a circle in the air. A small magenta spell circle promptly appeared, channeling the young witch's magic. "Right, I think it's time for a new plan."
Luz gasped, "Amity, what are you doing?! Isn't it a little extreme to be using magic on a stranger…and a kid at that!?"
"Relax, I'd never use magic so irresponsibly," Amity calmly reassured her, "This is just for a quick distraction."
With a flick of her finger, Amity launched a fireball the size of a marble and landed it close to Jade's feet, the impact no greater than a pop firecracker. As the witch planned, Jade was startled by her magic but to Amity's surprise, the young girl quickly regained her composure.
"You think that would scare me? Puh-leeze," Jade said, raising her hockey stick in a defensive position. "Do not underestimate me, strange girls, for I am Talisman Hunter Jade, Warrior of Peace!"
Luz' face perked up when she heard that somewhat familiar line. "Hold the telefono…is that a modified line from The Good Witch Azura?"
Jade lowered her hockey stick, surprised to see someone else recognized the quote even in its altered form. "Uh, yeah actually. You read the Azura books?"
"Read them? Me and Amity have read them cover to cover! I'm also trying to get her caught up on all the movies," Luz gushed, excited to find a fellow Azura reader.
The Chinese girl completely relaxed her guard, sensing no danger from the excited fangirl. Upon closer inspection, Jade noticed that the girls were only three or four years older than her, making her ease up more. "Hey, anyone who's into Azura can't be all bad."
A voice then came from down the hall shouting, "Amity! Luz!"
Right on cue, the rest of the Owl House gang came jogging in. Jade was surprised by their sudden appearance and picked her guard up, gripping her hockey stick.
"Hey kiddos, next time you decide to wander off without us, could you pick somewhere besides an underground spy base," Eda scolded them. She then took note of Jade standing in her skates and hockey equipment. "Who's your little knight friend?"
"I believe her name was Talisman Hunter Jade," beamed Luz.
"It's just Jade. Jade Chan," the younger girl introduced herself.
"Uy, where are my manners?" Luz exclaimed, lightly slapping her forehead. The Dominican girl motioned to her companions and gave them short introductions. "This is my girlfriend Amity, my best friends Gus and Willow and my second family, Eda and King."
Everyone on Luz' side greeted Jade warmly as the young Chan kept track of who was who. She was especially focused on King. "Well, aren't you a cyuuuute little guy? A little funny looking but still cute!"
King's pride flared up, causing him to puff out his chest as he boasted to Jade, "Hey I'm not cute; as my name would imply, I'm a much bigger deal than my small stature and fuzzy looks let on! I'd prefer it if you treated me with the appropriate level of respect."
Jade could only stifle a giggle at the little Titan's prideful display. "So, what's a big deal like you and the rest of you doing in a top-secret place like Section 13?"
"We know it's not good to break into private buildings like this but we had good reason to do it!" Luz explained, "As you've seen, we're more magically attuned than your usual gang of kooks. Amity here sensed something really bad in here. We decided to do some investigating to see what was up."
"That's actually why I'm here too!" replied Jade. "I heard something from within the building and came to check if any Dark Hand goons were trying to break in."
"Dark Hand? So, you have an idea on what could be in here?" Amity questioned.
"Yeah, bozos like the Dark Hand are always trying to steal anything magic and powerful," Jade replied. "If I had to guess, they're headed towards the vault. Luckily I have an idea where to find it."
"Hey, maybe we could get Jade to lead us to whatever you sensed Amity," Willow spoke up, "She clearly knows her way around this area."
"Plus she seems more knowledgeable about magic than your average human," Gus said.
Amity turned to Eda. "Your thoughts?"
Eda rubbed her chin for a moment before replying, "Eh, join the club, we got blankets."
Delighted to hear that she'd be guiding this strange new posse, Jade skated towards the vault, saying "Then follow me!" with the Owl House gang trailing after her.
Little did they know, they passed Kim and Ron, who were taking an alternative route to the vault. "I don't get it, Wade," Kim said, talking to Wade through her wrist Kimmuciator. "I know that Monkey Fist likes to collect magical artifacts for his evil plans, but why strike here of all places?"
"Yeah, we've been walking for a bit, but I haven't seen anything of paranormal or magical interest that he'd be interested in," Ron chimed in.
"Well, I did some digging, and after gaining access to top secret files, with permission by Doctor Director of course, I found that they're hiding these!" Wade smiled, pushing a button on his laptop, revealing the Talismans. "The 12 Talismans of Shendu."
"Huh?" Kim and Ron muttered, confused and needing more info.
"You see, 900 years ago, there was this powerful fire demon called Shendu, who ruled a vast empire from within Ancient China," Wade explained. "But he was removed from power when his subjects rebelled, and the powerful of all of them, Lo Pei, casted a spell, turning him into an immobile statue, and with it, extracted all of his powers, transferring them into talismans, one for each animal of the Chinese Zodiac, then scattered them around the world."
"So the monkey man is after magic rocks?" Ron raised an eyebrow, almost getting the full picture.
"Seems like it. What kind of powers do these talismans have?" Kim asked. Wade smirked as he retrieved all the info and displayed it onto Kim's wrist Kimmunicator.
"Dog is immortality, Pig is heat beam eye blast," Wade explained. Kim and Ron were in awe, amazed that 12 simple talismans could hold such power. "Rat is reanimation-as in bringing inanimate objects to life, Rabbit is super speed, Rooster is levitation, Ox is super strength, sheep is astral projection, Horse is healing, Tiger is balance-as in, it separates your light side from your dark side, Snake is invisibility, Dragon is combustion, and last but not least, Monkey is turning stuff into animals."
Ron gasped. "Of course! KP, don't you get it?" he asked his girlfriend. "Monkey Fist wants to use the Monkey Talisman to turn the world's population into monkeys so he can rule over us easily!"
Rufus, Ron's naked mole rat, climbed onto his master's shoulder, and nodded in agreement. "Bad monkey!" he chittered.
Kim stared at her boyfriend with wide eyes. "Uh, I know that sounds crazy Ron, but you do make a somewhat valid point," she said, not watching where she was going, bumping into Rose, who was also trying to find the vault. After shaking it off, both teenage girls caught gaze of each other and gasped, not expecting to bump into each other.
"What are you doing here?!" both Kim and Rose asked. Ron just stood back and watched as both girls got into fighting stances.
"Are you working for Monkey Fist?" Kim demanded.
"Monkey what?" Rose asked incredulously. "Never mind! Are you working for the Hunstman?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but how did you get past security?" Kim asked.
"That's NOYB. What you should be concerned about is shielding yourself from me!" Rose smirked.
Kim smirked, finding the blonde-haired girl's confidence amusing. 'Too bad she didn't bring the right fighting clothes. I do love her pink pants though.' "Oh yeah? Bring…" Kim was about to say before Rose grabbed her leg with one of her old whipping chains, throwing the girl who knew 16 styles of kung fu off. "WHOA!" Kim exclaimed as Rose slammed her into a wall.
"Kim!" Ron exclaimed, rushing to help his girlfriend, but he was pinned to the wall, thanks to Rose's throwing stars. "Throwing stars?! Aw man! How's that fair?!"
"Don't move," Rose warned, believing he and Kim were part of the Huntsclan.
Kim got up, and after regaining her senses, smirked again at Rose. "Spanking move," she said.
"Thanks, there's more where that came…" Rose smirked before she was caught off guard by Kim using Mantis kung fu. Rose did everything to avoid Kim's attacks, but as she jumped up into the air, Kim delivered a gut kick, sending the former Huntsgirl into a wall.
"You should know I'm skilled in 16 styles of kung fu." Kim grinned. Rose growled before pulling out her nunchakus.
"Well I'm skilled with these bad boys! And I got over 20 of them!" Rose challenged. Kim then put her cheerleading skills to good use, using backflips to avoid Rose's nunchakus.
"Well, I don't care! I've been through worst! And right after I take you down, arresting Monkey Fist should be no big!" Kim boasted.
Rose scoffed. "Seriously? You have no idea who I am or what I…" she wanted to say, but she didn't get very far as she was pinned by her own throwing stars. She was shocked that they were thrown by Rufus, who smirked at her.
"Naked mole rat! Weird enough for ya?" Ron smirked, giving his pet a high five, happy to be free.
Kim smirked. "Where are my manners? This is Ron Stoppable, partner and the cutest BFBF!" she said, but Rose was confused by the acronym. "Best Friend Boy Friend."
"Well my boyfriend is going to be ticked at you when he sees me trapped," Rose smirked, hoping to intimidate the two.
"Oh sure! Oh no! I'm scared of the bad lady's boyfriend!" Ron taunted but Kim saw something and grabbed Ron then pushed him onto the floor. She protected him from the fire breath that came from Jake, in his dragon form. Both Kim and Ron gasped as they laid their eyes on Jake.
"Meet my BF: Jake," Rose smirked.
"DRAGON!" Ron screamed, then fainted.
"Hey! You're not going to be messing with my lady after you get a taste of the Am Drag!" Jake boasted.
"OK! Heavily weird. But still, so not the drama!" Kim smirked. Jake then got into a fighting stance, then gasped as he recognized the face, hair, and clothes. He knew they belonged to only one person.
"No way! It's actually you!" Jake smiled, dropping his fighting stance, and acting more like an excited fanboy, confusing Kim.
"Jake! What are you doing?! Stop her!" Rose demanded.
"Rose! That's Kim Possible, the world's most famous teen hero!" Jake explained. Rose gasped as she finally recognized her. Jake had told her so much about Kim Possible and her many adventures.
"No way! It's Kim Possible!" Rose squealed with delight, confusing Kim even more. "I'm such a big fan! And I love your fashion sense!"
"OK. Extremely weird." Kim said.
"Sorry about that. But we're on your side. For real." Jake said. Kim finally eased up and smiled, now believing these guys weren't working for Monkey Fist.
"It's no big. It's just that I'm used to fighting monkey men and girls with green glowing fists instead of talking dragons," Kim blushed and smiled, getting Rose free from her throwing stars as Ron woke up.
"You think that's weird?" Jake grinned. He then transformed back to his human self, shocking Kim and Ron.
"The dragon's a teenager?" Ron asked with wide eyes before smiling. "BADICAL!"
Kim smiled at Ron's enthusiasm as Rose got free from the last throwing star. "There you go. Sorry about harshing on you," Kim said sheepishly.
"It's cool, really," Rose smiled reassuringly.
"Jakie! What's going on?" Trixie called out she and the rest of Team Dragon rushed to them. Trixie's eyes then went wide when she saw Kim and Ron. "No way! Kim Possible?! Fresh from the web and in the flesh?!"
Kim smiled. "The one and only," she said.
"Aw man! Where are my manners?" Jake said. "I'm Jake Long, aka the American Dragon. This is my grandfather, Lao Shi, who is also half dragon. That kicking girl you pinned to the wall earlier is my girlfriend, Rose. That's Spud and Trixie, my two best friends. And that right there is Fu Dog; he works with my grandpa."
"Hey, if we're done with the intros, can you find me a toilet I can drink out of?" Fu Dog asked, shocking Ron, yet again.
"A talking dog?! OK, if I see one more freaky thing, I'm probably going to fall into a coma!" Ron said, already having too much overload from all the freaky stuff he's seen so far.
"OK, moving along, what are you guys doing here?" Jake asked.
"Well, we got intel that our arch foe, Monkey Fist, former archaeologist who turned himself into a monkey hybrid, broke into here to steal these things called the Talismans of Shendu." Kim explained.
Lao Shi gasped. "It is worse than I feared," he realized.
"Talismans of Shendu?" Jake asked. "That's what the Huntsman is after?"
"Huntsman?" Kim asked, still not up to speed.
"Our archfoe," Rose explained.
"There are 12 talismans, each one for a different animal of the Chinese Zodiac. And each one contains a special powerful magic," Lao Shi explained. "If the Huntsclan gets them, they'll unleash chaos more powerful than the Dark Dragon."
"Then we need to find them before the bad guys get to them first," Jake said with a determined face.
"Lucky for us, I know where they're at," Kim grinned, leading Ron and Team Dragon to the vault.
Speaking of the vault, Daolon was hard at working pilfering the talismans. The sorcerer was about to bag the last talisman, the Monkey, when a British accented voiced rang, "Saving the best for last I see."
Daolon turned around and saw Monkey Fist standing right behind him, his monkey ninjas on standby.
"Is this some sort of bad comedy act?" scoffed Daolon, "This does not concern you monkey man."
"Oh but I believe those talismans are very much my concern, old man. I suggest you hand them over before I resort to more extreme measures," threatened Monkey Fist, taking an attack stance. "You wouldn't want to break a hip now, would you?"
Daolon merely cackled at the British lord's brazen display of confidence. "Mere mortals like you have no idea what you're trifling with."
With a wave of his hand, the sorcerer cast a blue wave of energy over Monkey Fist and his minions, freezing them where they stood. The simian villain tried moving but his muscles were completely paralyzed; it was if he was turned to stone.
Seeing Monkey Fist try to escape in vain, Daolon cackled again as he summoned a blue fireball, preparing an execution for the lord and his troop. Just before Daolon could land the final blow, he felt a sharp blow connect with the back of his head.
Daolon let out a sharp cry as he knelt down, his vision going blurry and the bag of talismans falling out of his hand. The blow was strong enough to completely disrupt the flow of magic, setting Monkey Fist and crew free.
Standing over the weakened Daolon was the Huntsman, fist clenched in triumph. "You wizards are all alike; wielding all the magic at your fingertips yet neglecting your physical prowess. Without your spells you might as well be another decrepit old man."
88 and 89 hooted and hollered like the Huntsman's personal cheerleaders, confusing and aggravating the now freed Monkey Fist. This simple talisman job was now getting far too complex for his tastes.
To finish the complete menagerie of evil unfolding, the Dark Enforcers arrived to the vault, too little too late to nab the talismans.
"What is going on here?" asked a very confused Ratso.
"A complete freak show is what's happening," replied an unnerved Chow, "I say we scrub the mission and tell Valmont it went south. I'd rather face him than the drummer from KISS and a Planet of the Apes reject."
"Now hold on, we can still salvage this," said Finn, quickly trying to think of something. "What if we let them fight each other and then grab the talismans while no one is looking…"
"Freeze you three!" came a voice. The trio swiveled around and there stood Kim, flanked by Ron and Rose.
"Hey I know two of these kids! They're those hip super spies I think…Kim Probable and her sidekick Don," Ratso said.
"Why do I think you got that wrong?" snarked Chow.
"I don't care if they're Batman and Robin!" snapped Finn, "We're not going to let some kids mess this operation up even more! Let's get 'em boys!"
The three charged at the teens but unfortunately for the Dark Enforcers these weren't just "some kids". Rose pulled out her nunchakus and put up a fight against Finn. The older man threw a series of fast jabs but each strike was stopped with a well-timed block Rose's weapon. In retaliation, Rose followed up with several blows of her nunchakus to Finn's arm. The Enforcer, in a surprisingly crafty move, faked a punch and instead went for a kick but Rose's reflexed were too quick. She managed to catch the man's leg in the chain of her nunchakus and using leverage, threw the man across the hallway, leaving him out for the count.
Chow was able to keep up with Kim and her 16 styles of kung fu but the cheerleader was just too agile for him. She managed to dodge his punches with grace, weaving back and forth until Chow was hitting air. The man grew irritated and began doubling down on his attacks, growing sloppier and vulnerable. Sensing her opening, Kim landed a solid punch on Chow's face, laying the man on the floor.
The fight between Ratso and Ron was more comical in comparison to the other skirmishes. The dim thug managed to catch the sidekick in a bear hug. Ron squirmed and wriggled in Ratso's grasp until he was loosened up enough to give an upper headbutt that connected with the thug's chin, knocking him out cold.
With that, the Dark Enforcers were defeated, just in time for the rest of Team Dragon to roll in. "Yoooo, did I just miss out on some major beat downs?" said Jake, taking a gander at his friends' handiwork.
Rose entered the vault and replied, "I think we still have some more beat downs to hand out." The two teams gathered around her and went wide eyed; they witnessed the Huntsman and Monkey Fist cornering the stunned Daolon while arguing over the talismans.
"I don't have time for your foolish fairy tales and dribble about mystical creatures," snarled the angry Monkey Fist at the Huntsman. "Give me the talismans or I'll…hold on, it appears we have guests."
Now it was the villain's turn to be surprised at the sight of their most hated enemies standing before them in the vault. The two sides were at a standstill, each one of them perplexed at what the other was doing here. As if this wasn't enough to take in, Jade and the Owl House made their grand entrance.
"Finally, we made it to the vault!" Luz said bombastically. "Now let's see if we made it before-Dios mio what is going on here?"
Luz was surprised when she saw the numerous heroes, including a dragon and a world-famous spy and blanched when she got a good look at the nefarious villains on the opposite side. "Jade, I think we found the evil Amity sensed…and it's worse than we thought."
Jade went wide eyed at the sight of not only Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, Monkey Fist, and a dragon, but also the Dark Hand and Dalon Wong in the same room together. She then smiled nervously. "Dalon Wong, the Dark Hand." she said sheepishly before bolting out, "JACKIEEEEE!"
