Neutral Chi Rider Chapter 5

Updating this story before my transformers crossover, need time to plan that one.

Sorry that this took so long got distracted with UNI Course Work.

I OWN NOTHING!

:Chapter start:

Himalayas-'Temple' Maze of Xiao Fung-Mid day

The IceCrew and Dai Gui can be seen digging following the instructions they made previously. As Xiao Fung was sitting in a large throne made of stone. They were using the Earth Demon chi to dig and shape stone and a simple lever system for Xiao Fung to use near his throne. His Razor Khan patrolling what the IceCrew had completed and carved some details such as statues and art that Xiao Fung enjoyed. Xiao Fung looked over the controls that was near his throne along with a scroll with the basic instructions to use them. Xiao Fung eventually spoke to the IceCrew as they returned to adjust the blueprints for caverns and other hazards, "I must say that you humans have really come a long way since betraying your masters," the IceCrew shrug as Xiao Fung says, "I will be honest after seeing this world more recently I can say that you have done something that even us Demons could not do. And that is to change."

The IceCrew shrugs and proceeds to return to their task, not really caring about the back handed comments. They would finish the maze by sun set where Drago arrived and paid his respects to Xiao Fung before leaving with the IceCrew.

Jade's Cabin-Just before Sunset-A day since the last chapter.

Blackfire released Jade from the iron bar the bound her hands behind her, so that she could get dressed after punishment that Blackfire dealt to Jade when she didn't come back to the house for dinner. So now Jade was sleeping in a pile of hay as Blackfire left her alone to rest in the barn. Jade continued to sleep as Blackfire returned to the cabin to see Devon sleeping on the couch as the television played the complete collection of Bugs Bunny that was being marathoned on the local television network. Devon slept as Blackfire wobbled up the stairs lightly as she went to get changed for the day.

Jade eventually returned to the cabin with torn clothing barely covering her body as she rolled her neck from the strenuous activity that she partaken in the day before. Jade sees Devon and shakes her head before she pulled out some hay from her hair. Jade shakes her head and says, "Two more days then we should move on, at least so that we can avoid Unkle's tracing spells."

With that Jade went to her room and got dressed with Shendu resting around her neck. Shendu sighs loudly while saying, "In the future please put me somewhere where I won't be forced to participate as much. Unlike my fellow Demon Sorcerers I do not enjoy watch or taking part."

Jade chuckled and says, "Humans tend to be spontaneous in that regard. So does Aliens as it appears."

Shendu sighs and says, "Well next time you are spontaneous drop me in a different room," with that Jade continues to pack her stuff. Shendu speaks again, "I thought you were going to wait another couple days?"

Jade simply says, "Yeah but how much chi did creating a Talisman disturb across the planet? Plus I doubt that Drago is going to ignore us for long before making a play for the Demon Chi we have. I want to also be ready to leave in case of an emergency." Jade finished packing her clothes away when Blackfire walked in wearing a green bikini.

Blackfire asks, "Care to join me for a swim?" Jade Gulps as suddenly she is being lifted over Blackfire's shoulder and towards the water but before Jade could comment on her lack of a swimsuit as Blackfire was wearing hers, Blackfire states, "You won't need it," she grins evilly as she placed a hand on Jade's rear and gives a firm squeeze. It would be a difficult couple days for Jade, which would be some of her most relaxing.

With Bai Tza-Under Venis-Underwater

Bai Tza was swimming through the water towards the ocean with an important objective in mind, collecting supplies to create her potions and other items for her future conquests. Such as certain Seaweeds, minerals and sea life that can only be found at the bottom of the ocean. She would spend a full day under the sea collecting everything that she needs, with her Squid Shadowkhan preparing her hideout for what was to come, and she had seven seas to visit that day.

With Section 13-That day.

Captain Augustus Black was making sure that all the repairs were completed to Section 13 before they could properly complete their jobs of stopping global organised crime. Currently Black was speaking with Tohru as Jackie was expected to arrive within the next day.

Black simply asks, "What exactly did Jackie do for you to ask this Tohru?"

Tohru sighs as he cleans his glasses before saying, "Jackie has been adamant that Jade needs him to protect her. The problem with that is that Jade not only has access to the Talismans but also years of experience added to what she can do with said Talismans."

Black frowns before asking, "Besides her stealing the Talisman whenever she borrowed them. What experience does she really have?"

"Jade is gifted in seeing potential of the items of power. She combined Talismans to get affects that were unseen by the world. Give her an inch and she will give you miles," Tohru answered before saying, "Jade is gifted, so expect the impossible from her when you least expect it."

Black sighs and says, "Well she can have the backing of Section 13 if she calls us," which was the worst thing to say as Jackie arrived early.

"Jade is not a secret agent," Jackie shouts as he walks out the phonebooth elevator and says, "Jade knows nothing about magic and the Talismans are too dangerous to be used. Shendu must be manipulating her!"

Tohru frowns before saying, "I do not believe that to be the case. Jade turn Shendu back to stone by taking the Talismans and then doing the same to Drago. Also the fact that Terakudo has yet to cover the planet in shadow, I believe that Jade may have found a way to weaken Terakudo."

Jackie simply says, "No, Jade does not know how to do that." Which was the worst thing to say as Unkle was standing behind him and flicked his head.

Unkle says, "Jade does have knowledge. Finally translated the Prophecy stone and compared it the stone book she translated. Both are from the time where the Great Sages were students to original Grand Sage. When I did some research discovered that it used ancient demon language taught to humans so that Demons knew what they wrote. The Language was then erased from history when Demons sealed. Images from the stone book spoke of all the rituals needed to seal the demon sorcerers originally as well as rituals and items that are needed to weaken evil."

Jackie states, "But how can she even read something so dangerous?"

"Simple," Tohru answered, "Her studies in ancient texts included the occults and other ancient languages. Plus Jade kept note of every spell that she performed with Unkle. Including the failures with unexpected results. Jade is much better prepared for the coming storm then the rest of us. Which reminds me," he turns to Captain Black and asks, "Any sign of Terakudo and the Demon Sorcerers?"

Black answered, "Nothing except Drago appearing in Salem. That 'Prophecy' stone tablet will arrive by tomorrow. Perhaps It can help with locating Demons.' Also for future reference we are to refer to them as the Demon Hand, because not all divisions know about the super natural," Black then looked at Unkle while saying, "This is also so that no one is sent to the old folks home," he pointedly stared at Unkle in seriousness.

Unkle adjusted his glasses before saying, "Unkle old not senile."

Jackie then spoke up, "what about Jade, she is in danger. Drago would be after her along with Terakudo!"

Unkle simply says, "Jade safer without Jackie panicking," only to receive shouts of panic from Jackie.

Jade's Cabin-The next day

Jade yawns as she uses her laptop searching the internet and recent news while Blackfire sat with Devon eating Popcorn. Jade mutters about recent discoveries while also visiting conspiracy websites, where she saw a picture of a car without a driver suddenly get changed into a Alien Cat gif. Jade shakes her head at that and found nothing on the conspiracy websites relating to demons, ninjas or magic. So she focused on the different news reports along with police reports she hacked into and found a couple items. Like stolen equipment and other stuff that would make electricity with environmental means, like solar or wind power. She also found sightings of tall people wearing black building a large vessel that floated away. Jade frowns and then expands the search and finding one thing that made her think could be a target.

Jade speaks to Blackfire and Devon saying, "Well it looks like We are going to Egypt. A temple that has the demon scriptures are carved into some of these statues."

Blackfire asks, "So what else will there be to do?"

"Well there is sand, ancient temples and we will be travelling over the ocean to get there," Jade replied, "It is basically a place with fancy stones in shapes where they combine into statues. It is a history rich place. We can stop at a market that they should have there."

Blackfire shrugs and says, "Sure, as long as it has some stuff to do after we visit this ruins?"

Jade simply says, "Sure," before she returned to searching the internet, Even flagging the locations of the Demon Sorcerers, mainly so that if something strange happens in those areas she should be able to find them. Though she also included locations that are related to past adventures, she taps her fingers together in thought before muttering, 'I need to a way to properly seal the demons. But," she frowns before thinking, "Where can I find the Monkey King?"

The Answer-Pawn Shop in Hawaii

An old wooden monkey poppet was standing in a window with a price cut of ten dollars.

With Bai Tsa-Venice-Late at night

Bai Tsa swam into her lair with a bag filled with supplies that only she knew of and what they can create given the right preparation. Bai Tsa slithered towards her throne where her slave can be seen eating some fruits the Squid Shadowkhan gave her. Bai Tsa licked her slave from a distance as she passed the human. Bai Tsa sat in her throne as Terakudo appeared from the wall to say, "Well fancy place, I believe the item that would be suggested at this point is Stripper poles, but that is up to you."

Bai Tsa glared at the floating head as she says, "Well most of the artefacts from my kingdom had been destroyed by the sea and time. What do you want head?"

Terakudo chuckles and says, "Well that is understandable, all your brothers have been working with your nephew in creating their new castles. Though none of them are ready to conquer the world but there is one thing you may like know. A Demon temple was found in eastern edge of Egypt in the last few weeks, from what I gleamed it holds an ancient stone from the stars. Something like that would create a weapon of great power," Terakudo left a map that marks the location of the Temple in question.

Bai Tsa uses her tail to collect the map and began to read the map and says, "Ancient meteor stone. That was used to make weapons by those who fought us demons. Slave get ready will be travelling." With that Bai Tsa transformed into her human form with the Squid Khan melting into clothes for her slave and left to travel using human means. The Airport.

With HsiWu-Lake in the middle of the Amazon

HsiWu flew towards a lone pillar in the middle of the lake hidden by magics long forgotten. HsiWu flew around the stone pillar and sees that it is surrounded by water and held up by four pillars too thin for Dai Gui to dig through. MsiWu landed on the forested pillar covering the ancient temple. An ancient Demon Temple, with a distinct theme of twelve. HsiWu creates some Bat Khan and had them go forward first to activate any traps only for nothing to happen as he reached the main chamber. HsiWu spoke aloud, "Father was always the gullible fool in thinking nothing can touch him or his treasures," HsiWu reached the main hall and found ten weapons of different makes, the Hammer he was sent for, while ordering his Bat Khan to collect the weapons, which they struggled to lift except an ornamental dagger that doubled as a flute. HsiWu simply says, "Ah so that was his security against us, Only I could reach this temple but could only carry one such item," HsiWu placed the dagger at his hip and ordered his Khan to carry the other weapons and followed him back to San Francisco to collect his boat.

The Khan holding a Hammer, Sword, Axe, Spear, Shield, Mace, Bow, Whip and what appeared to be a pair of boots, that needed two Khan to hold each boot as they flew.

With Jade-Jade's Cabin-Early morning.

Jade awakens alone after finally getting a proper nights rest as Blackfire was sleeping next to her. Jade silently got dressed and proceeded to walk down stairs and started packing the food they had yet to eat in the kitchen. She packed everything in the fridge into an esky and everything else into a box. She left some food out for Devon and Blackfire to eat as she made sure that everything was pack. Once inside the Motorhome she placed Shendu over the rear view mirror and says, "We will stop at the petrol station fill up along with the spare tank. Though If I get some extra we should be safe at least until we reach Europe," She pulled out a map and says, "Perhaps if make alternate propulsion to combustion."

Shendu spoke up, "The Dragon Talisman is the power of Combustion," Jade actually blinks at that and Shendu says, "Perhaps you could have your pet Alien push your cart. After all she can fly."

Jade hummed at the thought before saying, "With how far we will be going I doubt she would be able to reach the full distance. I did the calculations, an estimated tank of gas after we drove a bit from that Jasper place allowed us to reach Iowa from Navada. So six thousand miles from here to Egypt travelled about fourteen hundred Miles in less than one tank, that means four point three tanks of gas to get there," She raised her head and says, "Okay, maybe not an issue, but under normal power then we are going to need fuel." She sit back in the Driver's seat and says, "Any idea what we will find?"

Shendu hums in thought and says, "Everything and nothing. You forget I originally kept myself in the China region of Asia, when I gained my kingdom. The Shadow Khan Mask came to me when the Japanese Sorcerers spread the masks. They bargain aid, in exchange for the mask I gave them a dragon to travel the world."

"You never put the mask on?" Jade questioned.

"Unlike the Eight Immortals, this sorcerer warned me that the mask would enslave me to it's power. Hence my liberal use of Demon Sorcery to use the power without dealing with the consuming me." Shendu answered.

Jade shakes her head leave it to a demon to gain power without it controlling them. Jade then reviewed everything they were going to need and frowns, "We are going to have to make a stop at a market in Egypt for some proper clothes for the desert."

Blackfire and Devon enter the Motorhome to find Jade in thought but do hear Jade mention shopping and Blackfire asks, "So any interesting fashion in this Egypt?"

Jade frowns while saying, "Mainly cloaks from what I know. Though We will have to not mention anything about You and me, performing rituals."

Blackfire frowns before her eyes widen and she says, "Of course, as long as we are not in this Egypt place for long."

Jade nods in understanding, before she says, "I just have to ensure a couple things are done to the cabin to make sure that it remains intact until," she paused at that before saying, "If we return," Jade stands and walks over to the cabin and turns the fuse box off, the pilot lights and turning the gas off. Basically everything that needs to be turned off when no one was going to be home for several weeks or more. Jade returned to the Motorhome and drove it towards the local store. They were going to fill up all the gas tanks and proceed to the coast where Jade would park the vehicle and proceed to update the GPS so that they could travel over water. A task that took an hour while Blackfire and Devon had some fun in the sun, sand and water. Blackfire borrowing Jade's swimsuit again.

With Bai Tsa-Italy Airport

Bai Tsa tapped impatiently as she and Grizelda were waiting for their flight. Apparently Human Travel needed passports that Bai Tsa used magic to avoid but still needed to wait for the small plane to be ready. Bai Tsa frowns before asking herself, "Why is it that you humans always take forever to travel?" Grezelda did not answer as she was still under Bai Tsa's spells. Bai Tsa appears to read a magazine as an enchanted air port employee arrived and directed their new master towards the airplane that was emptied just for her.

With that Bai Tsa and Grizelda walked through the terminal and past the enchanted staff to enter her plane. A private Jet belonging to some guy by the name Stark was stolen and used for Bai Tsa to travel to Egypt, where she would entertain herself with the female staff and Grezelda for the next three hours to four hours.

With Jade-East Coast of America-As Bai Tsa's stolen plane took off.

Jade was behind the wheel of the vehicle while the motor home was aimed at the ocean at an angle pointing straight at Cairo Egypt. Jade was making final checks and as she installed the Horse Talisman that lit up. Jade took a deep breath as she rechecked the calculations in her head for the amount of fuel she added to all five of the Gas tanks, two of which was actually two oil drums installed inside the motor home where they find that the bunk beds stored on either side. One of the beds had been removed for the modification. Jade takes a deep breath before inserting the Rooster Talisman causing the Motor home to begin to float. Jade asks Blackfire and Devon, "Everyone strapped in?"

Blackfire sighs before saying, "Yes, even though I won't be affected."

With that said Jade inserted the Rabbit Talisman and pressed the Accelerator.

The Motor Home floated into the air before shooting forward at high speed across the ocean appearing on many radars but moving too quickly to intercept, and after ten minutes reaching the coast. Jade hit the brakes and suddenly stopped with a sudden jolt forward just outside of Cairo. Once they were on the ground and the engine turned off and proceeded to say, "Let's check everything, then we can go to a market in Cairo," she then frowns and says, "When we reach the Market I am the one handling the money," she walks over to the cupboard that holds their valuables and proceeds to collect a large coin purse this one with gem stones and some other jewellery planning to stop at a pawn shop in Cairo. One store she had been to before during her youth.

Jade proceeded to examine everything on the Motor Home even having Blackfire life the vehicle in order to check the undercarriage before finally nodding in acceptance and driving the Motor home the ten minutes to the city.

Bai Tsa would arrive in two hours and thirty minutes.

San Francisco-an hour later-Unkle's rare finds

Unkle shakes his head as he preformed the locator spell for Jade again, the reason he is doing it is because it was the only way to shut Jackie the F up. Jackie refused to leave Unkle alone until he located Jade. Though when Unkle did do the spell it was for a full world map.

Jackie stared at the map until Jade's location was revealed to be in Northern Africa, Jackie was thinking until his eyes widen and says, "She went to the excavation without me!" and runs up stairs to pack quickly making sure he had his passport and other items he would need and runs back down stairs while saying, "Bye Unkle I will be back with Jade in a couple days!" and runs out the store leaving Unkle alone to sigh in disappointment wondering where he went wrong.

Bai Tsa would reach Egypt in one hour.

Egypt-Markets

Jade wearing her summer desert clothes while Blackfire wears her regular clothes and Devon is wearing an old vest and pants with his tail wrapped around his waist and a hat to conceal his face. They stepped out of the Motor Home just outside the markets of Cairo as Jade pressed a button on her watch that locked the motorhome before walking into the market. When they were a few meters away a couple guys who had been watching them leave the motor home walked over to the door to break in only to get zapped and knocked back. As they tried to enter, they would continue to attempt to break in only for destroy their crowbars and trucks they tried to use.

Jade led the trio through the markets trying to find some cloaks to protect everyone in the sun. Jade placed a piece of fabric over Blackfire's chest who looked at Jade and says, "I am a Tamaranian, direct sun light is our water."

Jade sighs and nods in agreement before finding a cloak for Devon and the trio moving on, with Devon wearing his new cloak. They continue through the markets as they find some more stalls with items that they find interesting, Blackfire found a pendant that glowed in the sun, with interesting purple gems. Devon found a bracelet that he rather liked, with engravings and pictures of animals. Jade eventually found some old journals being sold in used book store.

Blackfire took some of the gemstones and wandered off for a few minutes to buy herself some local fashion that she found appealing without showing them to Jade. When they all did return to the motor home it was to the sight a ten men trying to break in and heavily injured.

Jade sighs before tapping another button on her watch causing a set of cannons to appear on the roof and aimed at the would be thieves. The thieves ran for their lives as Jade went over to the Motorhome and pressed a button on her watch allowing them to enter the vehicle. Jade takes the driver's seat and proceeds to drive the vehicle west towards the Western Border of Egypt.

Bai Tsa has arrived.

With Bai Tsa-Egypt International Airport

Bai Tsa walked through the Air port without any issue, as any security would have blue powder blown into their face and ignore the human looking Bai Tsa and Grezelda as they walked through the air port and found a taxi that after enchanting the driver took off down the road out of Cairo. As they drove Bai Tsa placed a hand inside Grezelda's garments and ignored the police sirens that followed them out the city before giving up. They would reach their destination within three hours.

With Jade-Two and a half hours later-Western Egypt Border-Ancient Demon Temple

Jade parked the motor home near a bunch of vehicles that were parked near the temple site. Jade turns to her associates to say, "Well, we are here," she stands and selects a couple Talismans, Dragon, Ox and Horse. Jade then goes on to say, "Let me do the talking," she pulled out a couple pairs of sunglasses and says, "Wear these and do your best to avoid getting in trouble. Last thing we all need is to play dominoes with the temple's support pillars." Jade placed Shendu around her neck while place a pair of sunglasses on her face.

With that Blackfire Devon places their glasses on, Devon accidently putting them on upside down. Jade fixes up Devon's glasses before the trio walk out the Motor home and towards the main tent. Jade entered the tent first to see an older white man speaking with the people about the dig, where to continue digging and clearing out the sand. Jade smiles at the sight of the older and apparently weary archaeologist as she walks forward to hear the man say, "Look I understand that there is allot of Sand to be moved, We are in a desert. Look have your workers keep track of how many full buckets they move and if they do more than average a hundred each a day, I will time and a half in wages."

With that the Egyption man walked away nodding and telling his men to get back to work with the conditions stated. Jade walked over and says, "Well I see that you are still a workaholic Doctor Jackson." What many fail to realise is that before Jade's fight with Jackie on her future she had been introduced to many of Jackie's work friends over the years before she went to college. Doctor Jackson had been one such friend who they had last worked with proving that people had vandalised the sand stone illegitimising years of research.

Doctor Jackson turned around and sees Jade and says, "Jade Chan, so glad you could make, though I was expecting you and your uncle a couple weeks ago."

That got Jade to pause and say, "I was unaware that I was invited, read a story on the internet along with some pictures," she then became nervous and asks, "Jackie is not here right?"

Doctor Jackson simply says, "I haven't spoken to him since I asked him to come down, I recognised some symbols he had been researching with Unkle Chan. Though Jackie said that they were nothing before dropping an entire bookshelf on himself."

Jade chuckled and says, "Yeah that happens allot with Jackie. Anyway, what have you found with your research?"

Jackson simply says, "Well we have taken a few dozen pictures of what have unsurfaced but," he directs her attention to the map and says, "Our instruments have indicated that there is a void under the sand. An entrance has yet to be found, though with what we have found might indicate what is hidden underground," He shows Jade a glyph they found on a large flat stone they uncovered on the roof.

Jade quickly scanned the glyph with her eyes quickly and says, "No this is even better. Can you take us to this?"

Jackson nods and says, "It will not be too difficult, it is the only properly uncovered part of the temple, Though we believe that it is a tower of some description."

"Nope," Jade smirks and says, "Come on you are going to love this."

With that Doctor Jackson placed his hat on his head and tool belt around his waist as he led the three towards where the glyph was found, where they find a circular black stone platform with arched roof. In the centre they see a pedestal that had a glyph that appeared to be made out of three rings with different patterns. Jackson says, "Well after this place was discovered, question came up. The stones are made using stone from Wales, England."

Jade nods while Blackfire simply asks, "How is that strange, stone is stone."

Jade simply says as she looks at the pedestal, "It is a stone not native to this region of the planet, and if the temple is made completely of this stone, then something else probably made this place," Jade touch the Glyph and started turning the three rings.

Jackson was shocked at that and says, "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Because you are not an expert on puzzles," Jade answered before creating a symbol the symbol of the Demon Sorcerers' Clan. With that everyone started to panic as the earth shook in with power as the sands shifted and the black temple hidden under the sands shifted revealing the Temple in full its full spiring glory around the pedestal they stood on. Jade crossed her arms and says, "Well that was fun, shall we explore?"

Jade started walking into the large doors of the dark building as Devon asks, "Do I have to?"

Jade stopped at that before looking to Devon and removed her watch and straps it around his wrist and says, "You can wait in the RV, until we finish here," Devon nods before he walked back to the Motorhome leaving Blackfire, Doctor Jackson and Jade went to enter the spiring temple. Once inside they did not see Bai Tsa arriving past the running workers.

Inside the temple, Jade took out the Dragon Talisman and her driver and placed them on her waist without activating them. She then raised her hand letting the power of combustion surround her hand to generate light to large empty room with different pictures of demons of different elements, eight that she recognised and two she did not. Jade frowns looking at the pictures of the Eight Demon sorcerers, but then the two she did not recognise. One appearing as shards of metal in human form and the other in a form unknown to all. On closer inspection she notices the other unknown version, at the base she sees what the figure was actually made of, ones and zeros."

Doctor Jackson comments, "What are this scripture about?"

"Demons," Jade answered simply before saying, "Though it brings into question, what is this place and who are the two unknown demons pictured and where the hell are they?"

Blackfire comments, "Well where did Shendu and his siblings come from?"

Jade nods in understanding as Doctor Jackson just simply had more questions, "Who is Shendu?" Jade points at the picture of Shendu on the wall simply. Doctor Jackson then says, "So this has nothing to do with Aliens?"

Blackfire looked over her glasses in a questioning look as Jade chuckled, "Maybe, if we are talking inter dimensional aliens maybe. Though the research has been inconclusive so far," She pulled out her phone and started taking pictures quickly of everything.

Doctor Jackson did the same with his camera that uses film. Blackfire looked around and says, "Well I have not been to many places around the Galaxy, but I have not seen anything remotely like the creatures in these pictures. Except maybe this one, there is mantion of a monster of metal travelling the Universe in search of technology and metallic elements. Legend even says that it is searching for an element that cannot be found even if you search the universe for eternity."

Jade frowns at that and says, "Damn it," she finishes taking pictures or everything before walking further into the temple with a frown. She then says, "That last image though was of a creature made of ones and zeros. Hopefully that demon was never made because in this day and age a software demon would be dangerous."

Doctor Jackson frowns at that and asks, "What makes you so sure that demons even exist?"

The answer came from Shendu who says from around Jade's neck, "Because she holds all the proof that would need in this day and age."

Jade sighs as Shendu revealed himself. Jade asks the fire demon around her neck, "How many siblings do you even have?"

"Seven," Shendu answered before saying, "Of all of us demons our father apparently died before making anymore, unless my siblings actually know more then they told me."

With that Jade's frown deepened as they walked through a darkened hall, it was so dark that Blackfire had to use her own energy sphere to generate light through the hall. There was many wall paintings depicting acts of each demon everything they did before being sealed along with a bunch of pictures of what they did when freed the first time along with some that were yet to happen. Jade frowns at those until she saw one of the temple they were in along with a couple demon she recognised. Jade says, "We have to hurry, Bai Tsa could arrive at any moment," which unfortunately was said before a stream of water shot her in the back sending her flying towards the other end of the hall into a large room with a sphere of pure metal and more markings on walls of ones and zeros. Jade fell to the ground soaked as Blackfire and Doctor Jackson were suddenly ensnared by Squid Khan who revealed themselves from the shadows.

Jade shakes her head and the sudden impact recovering slowly as a human Bai Tsa arrived slowly turning back into her demon self, "Well if it isn't the Chan girl that. Where is Chan, I want to drown him for what he did to me when I was last freed from my prison."

Jade shakes her head, "Well he did smart thing for once and stayed home," Jade starts to stand only for two Squid Khan grabbed each arm and forced her to her knees as Bai Tsa slithered over to the young Chan.

Bai Tsa grabbed Jade's chin and forced her to look her in the eyes while saying, "I must say, that you definitely grew into a beauty. A pity you are my enemy," She smirks evilly before saying, "Unless you join me, in destroying my siblings," Bai Tsa slithered around Jade and started whispering in Jade's ear, "or I could make you my little slave," as some strange slime was generated from her claws before saying, "Not that you will have any choice."

Jade appeared to struggle in panic, only with a grin as she knew what she was planning. She used the Dragon Talisman to glow and burn the Squid Khan off of her and burnt Bai Tsa as she touched Jade. When Jade was freed she kicked Bai Tsa in the face with a back kick. With that Jade rolled forward and fired a pair of fire balls at the Squid Khan holding Blackfire and Doctor Jackson. Jade says, "Blackfire get Doc Jackson out of here!" Blackfire nods and grabs Doc Jackson and flew quickly out the temple.

Jade focused on Bai Tsa as she summoned several Squid Khan simply says, "Capture her while I retrieve the metal!" with that the Squids multiplied as and focused on Jade, attacking with extended whipping limbs.

Jade dodge the attacks quickly as she transformed into Kamen Rider Talis Dragon mode and with glowing with combustion fists and feet started attacking the Squids as she tries to reach Bai Tsa who reached the Metal Sphere and removed the item from a magic seal powered by it. Bai Tsa removes the sphere and quickly leaves before Talis could even reach her. When the metal Sphere past the threshold of the entire structure started falling apart around Talis but when the main arch way out the temple collapsed sealing Talis inside before the Squid Khan vanished inside the shadows leaving Talis to be buried alive.

Outside

Bai Tsa reached the desert outside with the sphere under her arm slithering past Doctor Jackson and Blackfire resulting in Blackfire flying forward at high speed to tackle Bai Tsa. Resulting in Bai Tsa bursting into water before the water grabbed Blackfire's ankle and threw her into the temple creating a crater Blackfire sized crater in the side of the crumbling temple increasing the pace that the ancient black temple was collapsing on them. Doctor Jackson fell to his knees in shock at the collapsing temple. Blackfire was torn as she started to rise, either let the water demon go to save Jade or chase the Water Demon and hope that Jade would be okay until she returned. Blackfire hated herself and charged after Bai Tsa only to be knocked down by a tendril of water blinding her as she fell to the ground clutching her eyes being unable to see. Bai Tsa hums before slithering to the taxi and proceeded to transform and escape quickly back to Cairo. Doctor Jackson ran back towards the temple while shouting, "No the temple!" Blackfire stood unable to see and tried to run back to the temple only to slam into the side of a truck. Blackfire was stuck trying to find where she was when Doctor Jackson suddenly said, "What the, the Temple is repairing itself."

For five minutes later the temple was like new, even markings that were sanded off the outside by the sands had returned in pristine condition. Doctor Jackson looked at the markings and started making notes for his research.

Blackfire continued to struggle being unable to see as Talis exited the temple with the Horse Talisman in her hand. She sees Blackfire and rushes to her side and asks, "Are you injured?"

"I cannot see," Blackfire said with a fear that made her seem venerable, that did not suit her.

Talis looks into her blinded eyes and hands her the Horse Talisman and says, "hold this tightly don't crush it," the Talisman glowed before the glow focused on her eyes and repaired her eyes slowly as Talis transformed back into Jade. Jade simply asks after comforting her alien friend, "How are you feeling."

Blackfire was hesitant to answer before eventually saying, "I never want to experience that again. It was too dark."

Shendu spoke lightly, "Clearly Bai Tsa's venom entered her eyes."

Jade grits her teeth and says, "And you didn't mention that before because?"

"You were wearing a helmet," Shendu states before adding, "Look of each of my siblings, I am the only one who actually knows something about their powers and skills they have used against each of us. Why do you think I created the Original Talismans that I never used on them."

Jade had to nod at that before they see Devon running over and with his hands on his knees breathing deeply and says, "Super Moose is following the fish lady."

Jade nods before sighing and says, "Well, hopefully he will come back before dawn, that is when we will be going on a road trip, around Europe and Asia. For now though. I have to take notes for later study. You Okay with that Doctor Jackson!?"

Doctor Jackson, who was breathing deeply in relief while also appearing to be excited at that prospect of new research material. When Doctor Jackson noticed Jade, he simply says, "Sure, just share everything you find and I will include you in the credit."

Jade simply says, "You don't have to worry about that, Take all the credit, just if you find anything new or that appears dangerous, email me, especially if you find anything after we leave tomorrow morning."

Doctor Jackson simply asks, "You are not staying?"

"No, the longest we can stay is until dawn," Jade answered before saying, "Though we may have to leave sooner if Jackie shows up."

"That bad?" Doctor Jackson questions and receives a nod from Jade as Devon helps Blackfire back to their Motorhome. Doctor Jackson then says, "I won't tell him I saw you next time I see him. But please explain how you saved the temple." Jade simply nods before going with Doctor Jackson and began sketching the images and taking pictures of everything they could. Super Moose having returned shortly after sunset informing everyone that Bai Tsa had taken a woman and jumped into the Nile to get away from police.

It would be several days before Jackie Chan arrived due to issues at the airport in San Francisco and then in Cairo Airport, and almost a week to reach the temple due to the workers spreading word about the curse of the temple that was disproved when some of the local news agencies found out the truth of how a hidden mechanism that dug the temple out the ground and when everyone left a group of thieves attacked and took the only discovered Relic they had found at that point.

When Jackie did arrive it was after Jade explained the Talismans, using the Rabbit and Wolf Talisman to speed through and sketch everything and used a bunch of digital cameras and to capture images of the temple inside and out. In the end Doctor Jackson refused to share the information with Jackie, but would contact Tohru and sent copies of the material for Unkle to translate.
