Wasting no time, Jackie rushed down to the lower levels of Section 13 and followed the trail to the vault. "Jade?!" Jackie exclaimed worriedly. Suddenly, he heard Jade's screams as she was flying with Luz, Amity, and King on her staff.
"WHOA!" Jade screamed as they bumped into Jackie, sending him stumbling backwards, along with them. "OK, love the flying stick, but you should be more careful with who you might bump into."
"Don't I know it." Luz quipped dusting herself off as Jackie got back up and went wide eyed at the appearance of them. Luz smiled sheepishly. "Oh, you must be Jade's uncle. I'm Luz Noceda, that's Amity Blight, and that little creature is King Clawthorne."
Jackie was still wide eyed that these three somehow made their way into Section 13 undetected. "What are you even doing here?!" he exclaimed.
"We can explain later." Amity said. "There's more urgent matters."
"Yeah! They have the talismans!" Jade added.
"Who?! Them?!" Jackie asked, pointing to Amity, Luz, and King, not sure if they can be trusted.
"Not us! Them!" Luz exclaimed, pointing to the Enforcers, who had escaped with the Talismans, and the Huntsman was right on their tail. While the stand off was happening, the trio of thugs recovered from their beating and followed through with Finn's plan in the end.
"Score!" Finn grinned.
"You have got to be kidding me." Jackie said, completely deadpanned. He thought the Dark Hand was over right after his adventure with closing the Demon Portals.
"Trust me. This is no joke." Luz said, taking a fighting stance, brandishing her staff.
"I'll take care of these clowns!" King said, ready to show off what he can do.
"Stay back, King!" Jade said, not wanting the Titan to get hurt. "Me and Jackie dealt with these guys and we know how to handle them."
"Oh yeah? Watch this!" King smirked. He then took a deep breath and unleashed his sonic wail, sending the Enforcers backwards, causing Finn to drop the bag of Talismans.
Jackie and Jade were awestruck while Amity and Luz just grinned, like it was nothing. "Whoa. Tiny, cute, and powerful? YOU RULE, KING!" Jade smiled.
"You bet he does." Luz smirked.
"The talismans!" Amity exclaimed, pointing to the bag on the ground.
"I'll get them." Jackie said with a determined face.
"I'll help you." Amity added. They both raced but their way was blocked off by the Huntsman.
"I don't think so! Those are mine!" the Huntsman smirked, making his presence known to the two.
"Who are you?!" Jackie asked. He has never seen this guy with Daolon Wong or the Dark Hand.
"I am the Huntsman, leader of the Huntsclan, enemy of magical creatures…" the masked villain boasted before pulling out a machete. "...and your executioner."
"I don't think so." Amity smirked as the Huntsman threw his machete at the two, but Amity used a circle spell to make it disappear, then traveled back, hitting the Huntsman in the face.
"Whoa! Luz, your girlfriend is the bomb!" Jade smiled, finding this more exciting by the minute. "Where did she learn that?"
"Hexside High." Luz smirked, to Jade's confusion. She's never heard of that school before. "I'll tell you more later."
The Huntsman got back up and growled at Jackie and Amity. "I think your magic only made him angrier." Jackie commented.
"Bratty witch! You're as annoying as the dragon!" the Huntsman exclaimed. Suddenly, Jake dropped down to face the Huntsman, shocking Jackie greatly, believing he could be related to Shendu. "Well, speak of the…"
"DRAGON BREATH!" Jake exclaimed, unleashing his fiery breath on his enemy, but the Huntsman did a backflip to avoid it, but made a mistake as when he tried to stick the landing, he burnt his feet and began weeping from the pain. "Good to see you haven't changed."
"I thought we got rid of you along with Shendu and his other demon family!" Jackie exclaimed, finding the situation growing more bizarre by the minute.
"Jackie! Relax! He's good!" Jade assured before asking, "Aren't you?"
"Chillax, dawg. The American Dragon would never hurt anyone else." Jake assured. "By the way, my name's Jake."
Jackie relaxed at that but then used his martial arts skills to good use as the Huntsman tried to use his staff to take him out. Jake then used his own fighting skills to the test, and they proved useful against his old enemy.
"Now it's time for J Girl to join in the fight!" Jade smirked, not wanting to be left out of the fun.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Jade." Luz gulped.
"Tch! Watch and learn." Jade scoffed roller skating towards the Huntsman as he's got Jake cornered. But before the enemy of all magical creatures could deliver the blow to his nemesis, Jade roughly pushed him to the side.
"Looks like Jade's got skill!" King cheered.
"I'll say." Luz smiled.
"Nice moves." Jake smirked before he and Jade gasped as the Huntsman got back up and pulled out his throwing stars. Jake then grabbed Jade and rushed to the side so they wouldn't get him by them.
"Very clever, girl. But not clever enough!" the Huntsman smirked, before being dealt a kick to the face by Rose.
"Not as clever as me." Rose smirked.
"OK, 10 for the smack down, but I'd give you a 4 for the outfit choice." Jade quipped.
The Huntsman smirked beneath his mask, happy to see his traitorous daughter. "Well, well, well, good to see you're still healthy, Huntsgirl." the Huntsman said. Rose gulped as she began to experience a headache as more swarms of bad memories began to flood her brain, causing her to lose focus. "Oh, do you have a headache? This should put you out of your misery then!"
"Rose! Get out of the way!" Jake exclaimed as he swooped in to save Rose from getting her head bashed from the Huntsman staff.
"Young witches and a dragon?" Jackie asked himself, still bewildered by how the night was going. "Can this get any crazier?!" Just then, Monkey Fist pounced in front of him. "I had to ask."
Monkey Fist had thought his plan would have gone well. It was a simple procedure; sneak into Section 13 and steal the talismans. No different from what he had done dozens of times before. It all came tumbling down when the British lord came face to face with the infernal sorcerer and his arcane skills. Things got more complicated with the arrival of the Huntsman and his absurd rhetoric on mystical creatures. And then his nemeses and other ridiculous characters just had to barge in. Combine that with the Enforcers miraculously getting away with the talismans and all mayhem had broken loose. Now he was staring down Jackie Chan; truly it was a night of twists and turns.
"Hold it right there, Monkey Fist!" Kim exclaimed, jumping into the action, landing right in front of Jackie and took her fighting stance with Ron.
"No way! Kim Possible?!" Jade squealing in delight like an excited Taylor Swift fan girl. "This has to be a dream!"
"Not now, cheerleader!" Monkey Fist sneered, pushing his arch foes to the side before smirking at Jackie. "My goodness it has been a long while since we were last aquatinted hasn't it Mr. Chan? Oh wait I'm being too formal. That's no way to greet an old friend is it…Jackie?"
The archaeologist was thrown off by Monkey Fist's familiarity with him at first but looking at him closer and listening to his voice, it suddenly came to Jackie; "Montgomery Fiske? Is that you?"
"Wait, Montgomery?" Kim said, having not heard Monkey Fist's civilian name since their first encounter.
"You know this freak show?" inquired Jade.
"We were friends back when we were running the same archaeologist circles early in our careers. We lost touch when he decided to go into a private sector to study in Asia," explained Jackie. He then grimaced, "He didn't have monkey hands when I knew him."
"Life presented us different paths Jackie and I chose the path ripe with power; it led me right to talismans of Shendu," Monkey Fist spoke, "I should actually be thanking you Jackie. It was you telling me about Sun Wukong from your homeland that I was inspired to seek the powers of the monkey."
Jackie gave him a confused look, "Sun Wukong? That was just Chinese folklore I wanted to share with you; I didn't think you'd go crazy and get monkey hands! I told you I wanted to be an action movie star once, but you don't see me in Hollywood!"
"Ah well, the past is in the past. Right now, you and the other so-called heroes are cutting from my rightful path so don't take what I do next personally."
The villain snapped his fingers and his monkey ninjas came by his side. Ron tensed up seeing Monty's minions while Kim gave a cocky smile.
"The usual monkey ninjas? So not the drama," Kim said to herself.
"Actually, Miss Possible was it?" Jackie whispered to Kim.
"Jackie! Don't respect the greats! Call her Kim!" Jade whispered before blushing and smiling, clearly too awestruck to look Kim in the eye.
"OK, Kim. I think it's a good idea for you to go grab the talismans from the Enforcers. We'll handle Monty and his monkeys." Jackie whispered.
"Are you sure about that?" Kim asked, worried for the man and the safety of his niece.
"Relax KP; they got me with them. These talismans seem like a big deal so you need to go ahead and grab them," Ron said, giving her a thumbs up. As much as monkeys still unnerved him, he was more than willing to put on a brave face for his girlfriend.
Kim nodded to her partner with a smile and turned her attention to the older man, "Alright Mr. Chan, I'll follow your plan but only because the talismans are that important. Good luck with the monkeys."
"Thank you and please, call me Jackie."
With another snap of his fingers, the monkey ninjas pounced, charging straight for the heroes. Kim made it seem like she was going to attack but instead break off and made a bee line for the Dark Enforcers. The monkey ninjas were confused at first but focused their attention on the remaining three.
"I really don't like monkeys," groaned Jackie.
"Oh dude, ditto," Ron muttered in agreement.
While this was unfolding, Team Dragon and the Owl House were contending with Daolon Wong. Having recovered from the Huntsman's sucker punch, he summoned his Dark Chi Warriors and sicced them on the heroes. All this while fending off the Huntsman's flurry of attacks
"We've got dark magic goons in addition to Huntsfool on our tail," Jake said in frustration, fending off Chui the hammer wielder's strikes, "Yo can this get any worse?!"
"Well," Willow spoke up, trying to get a plant spell going while trying to avoid the Huntsman's staff blasts, "you could be one of those guys."
She motioned to 88 and 89, who were beaten up and tied up. When the mass fight broke out, they were the first to be taken off the board, making the bumbling duo's track record even worse than the Enforcers.
Speaking of which, the Enforcers were making off with the talismans, having successfully used the ruckus as a smokescreen.
"Woo-hoo! This is why I'm in charge of coming up with the schemes gentleman," Finn said as he shimmied up the rope with his compatriots.
"Right on Finn, you think of everything!" Ratso cheered.
"Stop right there you three!" Kim's voice called out as she got closer to the Enforcers.
"Well, almost everything…"
As the trio of criminals climbed the ropes faster, Kim thought quickly and whipped out her laser lipstick. Aiming it at Finn's rope, the teen spy fired the laser with surgical precision and severed the rope, dropping the Enforcer along with the bag of talismans. Standing right under the ropes, Kim stuck out her arms to catch Finn.
Secured in her arms, she set him down, saying, "That's one bad guy." She stuck her arms out again and caught the bag of talismans. "And that's one sack of magical items. Please and thank you!"
Kim then scurried with the goods, leaving the rest of the Enforcers bewildered at what just transpired. Red in the face, Finn yelled to his partners, "Well don't just stand there, after her!"
Ratso and Chow sighed as they climbed down the ropes, with the latter mumbling "It's one of those days, isn't it?"
Reentering the fray, Kim gasped as the Dark Warriors were charging at her, with the Enforcer trio not far behind her. "Jackie! Catch!" Kim yelled, throwing the bag to Jackie, who caught it with ease.
"Retrieve the talismans!" Daolon exclaimed.
"Uh, yeah, what he said!" Finn smirked, but he and his two comrades were roughly tossed to the side by Daolon's warriors.
"Jackie, throw them to me!" Jade exclaimed. Jackie did just that, and Jade gave her uncle her hockey stick so he could have some sort of weapon. The Dark Chi Warriors then charged at Chan, but he made good use of his martial arts skills and the hockey stick, blocking the Warriors' attacks. But Gan used his weapon to cut the hockey stick apart.
Luckily, Rose used her nunchakus to keep Gan at bay, impressing Jackie. "No one's going to get the drop on anyone as long at the good guys are still standing." Rose smirked.
"Why thank you…uh, what's your name?" Jackie asked.
"Rose," she smiled before both she and Jackie ducked at Chui's hammer as he tried to smash both heroes into dust. "I take it you know these goons?"
"Unfortunately." Jackie replied.
"You got this, Jackie!" Jade cheered from the sidelines. She then gasped as Monkey Fist's ninjas moved closer to her.
"Give me the talismans!" Monkey Fist ordered. But Jade smirked.
"Then come and get them you dumb monkeys!" Jade challenged. She then skated away as Monkey Fist's minions gave chase. "Tch! You think you can catch me, but I have great Jedi moves!"
Rose and Jackie were still trying to dodge the Dark Chi Warriors' weapons, and Chui's hammer was close to slicing the both of them, but Kim did a triple backflip and kicked the hammer straight into the wall where the Enforcers were standing. Luckily, Finn, Ratso, and Chao jumped out of the way before being hit. They then saw on the other side of the wall was a giant laser, then they all smirked.
"Thank you both for the save." Jackie smiled.
"No big." Rose and Kim smiled in unison before gasping. "Jinx!"
"You owe me a soda!" Rose smirked before they both gasped again as Ren swiped at them with his staff, but they both dodged his attack very easily. "Good think I left the one I used to own behind."
"Hey red face, get a load of my monkey kung fu!" Ron smirked as he put his Monkey Powers to good use, knocking Red away then depriving him of his weapon. "No one messes with the Ronster and his lady!" Kim managed to smile at that before Daolon growled, getting quite irritated at the group of heroes. It was bad enough to deal with Jackie Chan and his family, but now this?
"Retrieve the talismans!" Daolon exclaimed, pointing at Jade skating away. Gan, Chui, and Ren then leaped forward to try and catch Jade. "And I'll do away with you four at once!"
All four heroes gasped as Dalon focused his staff on them, ready to deliver the killing blow. But then, Luz stepped in front of them and brandished her staff with her snake shifter palismen. "You have to get through me, you old hag!" Luz glared.
"Do not underestimate, girl! For I am…" Daolon was about to say but then a blast of energy from Luz's staff sent the dark chi wizard backward, crashing onto his back. All four heroes were in awe as Luz smirked like it was nothing.
"How did you do that?!" Ron asked, amazed at what he had just seen.
"It took years of practice." Luz smiled. "But to be honest, I'm pretty much surprised that my realm, the Human Realm, actually does have magic. The last thing I was expecting when coming back here was to encounter dragons and dark wizards."
"You don't know the half of it." Jackie quipped, still dumbfounded.
Jade amazingly evaded the monkeys as she continued to skate while carrying the bag of talismans. "Nice try little monkeys! I got the upper hand!" Jade smirked but then skidded to a halt and gasped as the Dark Warriors had her trapped, blocking her exit. But suddenly, Eda stepped in front of the pre-teen girl with a glare.
"Oh no you don't!" Eda smirked, brandishing an urn, which then magically transported the Warriors into it, trapping them, much to Daolon's shock.
"My warriors." Daolon gasped.
"Way to go, Eda! You still got it!" Luz grinned.
"Wow! You put the kibosh on the Dark Warriors!" Jade grinned, impressed by the witch's skills. "How'd you do that?"
"Well, with this thing I stole on my last day at Hexside before I got expelled." Eda grinned. "Never leave the demon realm without it."
"Aiya!" Uncle's screams were heard as he then used a sword to decapitate Eda's head, scaring Jade.
"AHHH!" Jade screamed as she held the seemingly lifeless head of the powerful witch from the Boiling Isles.
"OW!" Eda exclaimed, clearly not dead. "Oh, I hate when that happens."
"AGHHH!" Jade screamed, more terrified after seeing Eda still talking even with her head cut off.
"Jade, get away from her! She might be working for Daolon Wong!" Tohru exclaimed.
"Tohru, Uncle, it's cool! She's one of the good guys!" Jade exclaimed, still freaked out by the whole situation. "She got rid of Daolon's Warriors."
"Huh?" both Uncle and Tohru asked, shocked that the Dark Warriors were gone so quickly.
"Yeah, Eda trapped them in her urn, leaving Daolon defenseless." Jade smirked.
"Who's Eda?" Uncle asked.
"I'm Eda! As in, the witch lady whose head you just cut off!" Eda said, very annoyed.
"AIYA! How could you be in this realm?! Uncle thought witches didn't exist in the human realm!" Uncle exclaimed.
"I don't know either, but are you sure you're OK, Eda?" Jade asked.
"I'm fine. It just happens when you get older." Eda said, as if it was no big deal.
As the witch reattached her head, the remaining heroes surveyed the outcome of the hectic battle; Monkey Fist and his ninjas were out of commission, the Huntsclan were now licking their wounds and Daolon had been deprived of his warriors. The only ones unaccounted for were Valmont's Enforcers…
"Surprise!" Finn shouted as the trio were now in possession of the giant laser.
"Time for a new backup plan; blow up this stupid vault and grab the talismans!" Chow yelled in frustration.
"Now would be a good time run away," Ratso said simply.
As the Enforcers fired up the laser cannon the heroes looked on in shock, unprepared for such a drastic move. Steeling her nerves, Luz stepped up to the plate and raised her staff in defiance. "I think I've had just enough of all this villain stuff! I've already had people that I cared about pushed around by bad guys, I'm not going to let it happen to my new friends!"
Luz then began charging up her staff with magic energy, mirroring the Enforcers' own actions. The opposing sides then fired off, creating a superpowered standoff that Luz was visibly struggling against. Thankfully, Jake decided to step in and offer his support.
"Yo, I'm with the witch girl! I've had it with you dopes making things harder for us; especially…on…vacay!" Jake then roared fire at the energy beams, pushing back against the Enforcers' laser.
As the standoff continued and as the heroes tried planning their next move to help their friends, the ever-crafty Daolon used his magic to float the abandoned bag of talismans over to him. Ron was the first to notice this and acted quickly, running over to the levitating satchel.
"Oh, that is it! If the talismans are the reasons for all this mess," Ron raged, jumping up and kicking the bag, "then we just get rid of the talismans!" The sack was thrown into the path of the energy struggle, its contents disintegrating in a blast.
The blowback pushed Luz and Jake away and caused the laser to go off course. The cannon caused a hole in the ceiling, giving a glimpse of the night sky outside. Property damage was the furthest thing from everyone's mind however; surrounding everyone were the powers of the talismans, now freed from their physical vessels.
The boy who unleashed this power looked on, aghast at what his actions caused.
"Uh, I did the right thing, didn't I? D-Didn't I?"
