Welcome back to this chapter of 'A Different World'. Sorry for the long wait, some things came up. This story was made in colaboration with jameygamer. To who saved this story.

Drago and Jade were sitting at the breakfast table in Section 13, watching TV before going to school. Drago was eating cereal, but Jade had opted to eat some powdered sugar donuts. Drago looked at his cousin and thought, "She eats a pretty unhealthy diet. At least she hasn't attempted to be a weapon of mass consumption since she swallowed the Rooster Talisman."

It had been a really interesting morning. Jade had gotten a lecture from Jackie during their training exercise for acting up, and was then told that "slow and steady wins the race."

There was nothing really good on TV, so Drago turned on the news. A guy wearing a funky night-vision helmet walked into the room at that point as the newscaster stated, "Today's weather forecast, clear and sunny with highs in the mid 80s for the bay area."

He got some water from the fountain and then turned and said, "Hi, kids."

Jade replied, "Hey, Carlos."

The newscaster then announced, "And now for local events." The TV then showed a shot of a large tortoise. Jade and Drago's jaws dropped at the sight of it.

"This big fella's name is Aesop, and he's the star of the new Galapagos Island exhibit at the Bay Aquarium."

Jade, having taken note of what looked like a Talisman in the tortoise's back, could only say, "Tortoise? Talk about your coinciding!"

The newscaster continued, "The odd thing is, the aquarium's experts noticed this little who-knows-what embedded in Aesop's shell," as the camera zoomed in on the Talisman.

Drago then said, "The tortoise AND the hare together? Dad!"

Jackie came running into the room and asked, "What?"

Drago pointed at the TV, but it had changed to a commercial for dog food, so Jackie said, "No, we are not getting a dog."

Drago said, "Not that! We saw a Talisman! It's in the shell of the tortoise that they just brought to the Bay Aquarium! It looked like a rabbit!"

Jackie looked confused and just asked, "The tortoise?"

Jade then said, "No! The Talisman!"

Jackie thought for a moment, and then said, "There IS a rabbit in the Chinese Zodiac. I will investigate."

Jade was excited, thinking she was getting to go on another Talisman expedition, only for Jackie to tell her she still needed to go to school. Drago could only snicker as she was told off.

Jade looked at him funny for that. She was a little jealous of him because he was home-schooled and got to learn magic, but she had to go to a public school just like every regular kid.

She finished her doughnuts and left to head for school.

(Meanwhile)

Silvia was watching television with her mother, her kitten Jessie in her lap. Bai-Tza had to home-school Silvia because of her father's connections to organized crime, but it did allow them to bond well. One of their favorite ways of learning was to watch educational programs on TV. Bai-Tza was planning to take Silvia to the Bay Aquarium today, after having heard of their new Galapagos exhibit. As such, they were watching the news to see what the exhibit would be like.

"I'm excited, Mommy! We get to go to the aquarium!"

"Yes, I know, sweetie. It will be fun, won't it?" Bai-Tza was just as enthusiastic about going, since she was the Water Demon, and she, of course, had always had an interest in sea life.

The TV finally showed a shot of the exhibit and the tortoise that was the star of the exhibit. When she saw the Talisman in the tortoise's shell, Silvia said,

"Mommy, isn't that one of the talismans Daddy wants?"

Bai-Tza could only stare in shock as she saw the Talisman flash on the screen.

"Silvia is not going to be happy about what happens now," she thought.

Valmont then walked into the room, and said, "Hi, sweeties. What did you learn today?"

Bai-Tza got up and said to him, "We just saw one of Shendu's talismans in the tortoise at the Aquarium, that's what we learned!"

Valmont took a moment to recover from hearing that, then grabbed his phone and called Tohru, telling him and the other enforcers to go get it.

When he hung up, Silvia said, "So, when are we going, Mommy?"

Bai-Tza grumbled, and then said, "I'm really sorry, Silvia, but Dad's coworkers have some business at the aquarium today. We'll go another time."

Silvia did not like that answer, but she was stubborn.

"Oh well, I'll go anyway."

(At Jade's School.)

It was math class at school. Jade was talking to Drew, telling him about the adventures she had taken so far with Jackie and Drago. Drew, being a bit of a jerk, mocked her about that.

As she was talking to him, the teacher, Ms. Hartman, called on her to answer a math question because she wasn't paying attention. All Jade could say was, "That last question or the one before it, Ms. Hartman?"

To that, Ms. Hartman replied, "The question you would have heard if you were paying attention. Perhaps you need an extra-credit assignment."

A light bulb went off in Jade's head as she heard her say that. This was her chance to go to the aquarium.

Jade replied, "Dibs on the topic."

(At the Bay Aquarium)

Jackie was examining the Talisman on Aesop the tortoise. As he was looking at it, he mumbled, "The Rabbit Talisman."

He looked up at the scientists and asked, "The question is, how to remove it?"

The scientist replied, "No need to worry about harming Aesop's shell. It's very durable."

Reassured by the scientist's words, Jackie went back to work examining the tortoise.

"Little girl, this area is off limits!"

Jackie, thinking it was Jade who the scientist was talking to, looked up and turned around, ready to scold Jade for showing up.

Only, it wasn't Jade.

It was a little Chinese girl, about 6. She had white hair, slightly dark skin, and slanted eyes.

Jackie was surprised to see her standing there. He decided to try to see who she was.

"Um, hello. May I ask, who are you?"

Silvia replied, "I'm sorry, but my Mommy and Daddy told me to never talk to strangers. I wanted to come and see the big turtle with the Talisman in it."

That shocked Jackie. How did this girl know about the Talismans?

Then he started to feel troubled. If she knew about the Talisman, then she must be…

"Um, little girl, how did you get to the aquarium?"

An explosion rocked the building. Jackie turned around to face the direction the explosion came from, and what he saw confirmed his worst fears.

It was the Dark Hand.

Jackie grabbed Silvia and gave her to the scientists.

"Go! Take the girl someplace safe!"

As Finn surveyed the scene, he saw Silvia with Chan, which horrified him.

"Silvia! What are you doing here?"

Jackie looked back at her after hearing that.

"Her name is Silvi- Why do I bother to ask?"

Finn then turned to Tohru and Ratso and said, "You two get the Talisman! I'll go get Silvia!"

As Tohru and Ratso ran to confront Chan, Finn ran after the scientists who had Silvia. When he caught up to them, he hollered, "Stop!"

They did, and turned around. Finn walked up and said, "I'm sorry. That is my boss's daughter. He'll hang me if something happens to her."

The scientists reluctantly gave Silvia to him. She frowned. She knew she was in big trouble.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Finn. I really wanted to see the big turtle."

Finn said, "How did you get here?"

Silvia replied, "I stuffed myself in one of those bags you took on the plane."

Finn slapped himself. He thought, "No wonder one of those equipment bags felt heavier than usual."

He collected himself and said, "I have to make sure you're safe, sweetie pie. We're going to the plane."

As Finn took Silvia with him to the plane, Jackie was busy fighting Ratso and Tohru for the Talisman. Tohru threw Jackie several feet, but he landed safely, only to be confronted by Chow and an unnamed henchmen. The henchman took a swing at him, but Jackie blocked with a swing of his arm. Chow did the same and Jackie blocked it.

As Ratso tried to pry the Talisman from Aesop, he was kicked down by Jade, who had finally made it to the aquarium after getting out of school just minutes earlier.

She strutted her achievement by saying proudly, "And I'm getting extra-credit for this!"

Her joy faded as she was picked up by Tohru. She tried in vain to punch him, but couldn't reach.

The sound of a blowtorch turning on got the big sumo's attention. Ratso was now trying to blowtorch the Talisman out of the tortoise's back.

Tohru thought, "Are you that stupid? We're just going to have to take the tortoise with us!"

He tossed Jade into the bushes that were part of the exhibit, then walked over and shoved Ratso into an octopus pool before picking up Aesop and carrying him to the escape plane.

Meanwhile, Jackie had managed to kick Chow and the henchman into the water. He stood there smug, until Ratso rammed into him, knocking him into the water as well. He tried to swin to the surface, but the two Dark Hand Goons kicked him back forth. Suddenly, one of them freaks out and swim up. The other does the same. Jackie turns to what frightened them off, only to come face to face with a shark. As Jackie jumped out of the water to escape the shark, and landed on the railing. Jade called his name.

He said, "Jade? What are you doing here?"

She pointed in the direction the Dark Hand was heading. Jackie's eyes widened. "Oh, bad day." He shoulders slumped.

(Later)

Jackie and Jade tried to catch up, but the plane was already in the air when they got to the pier.

They sighed. They had lost another Talisman.

As the plane took off, Jade asked Jackie, "Jackie, what do we do!"

At that point, Ratso, who had been left behind, ran out of the aquarium with an octopus stuck to his head.

"I'll make him talk!"

Jackie reminded her that "Slow and steady wins the race."

"I like my plan better," she scoffed.

As Ratso finally got the octopus off of him and started walking away, Jackie & Jade quietly followed him.

(Meanwhile)

On the escape plane, Tohru finally got the Talisman out of Aesop's back while Silvia petted him.

She then asked, "Mr. Finn, can we keep the big turtle, please?"

Finn, still a little disappointed that Silvia showed up at the aquarium, said, "I think we're going to have to talk to Daddy about that."

He sat down and turned on the video communicator installed into the plane. Valmont's face appeared on the screen.

"Valmont, we scored the Talisman, a new team mascot, and made sure your daughter is safe."

On those last words, Valmont's face turned to shock. What was Silvia doing with them? He hadn't seen her since the TV thing, but he just assumed she went out with Bai-Tza someplace.

He replied, "Okay, first, why is Silvia with you? Second, why do you have the tortoise itself?"

Finn then said, "I'll let you talk to Silvia about why she was at the aquarium. As for the tortoise, Chan was already there when we arrived, so we had to bail with the snail when we had the chance. Here's Silvia."

Finn motioned for Silvia to come to the monitor.

When she got there, Silvia said, "I'm sorry, Daddy."

Valmont replied, "Why did you go to the aquarium when Mom told you no?"

Silvia shyly said, "I really wanted to see the big turtle. Can we keep him, please?"

Valmont was conflicted at that point. He didn't want to hurt his daughter's feelings, yet he was upset with her for deliberately disobeying her mother. Plus, he knew someone who would take that tortoise off of his hands for a good sum of money, which he could really use right now to keep the Dark Hand going.

He decided to tell her, "Silvia, you don't really want that turtle. He doesn't move much, he isn't warm like Jessie, he just won't be much fun."

He then said, "Listen. My bodyguards will meet you when you land. They will bring you home, and then Mr. Finn will take the tortoise back to the aquarium."

She was a little upset at being told that, but, not wanting to make him mad, said, "Okay."

Valmont then told Chow, who was on the plane as a watchdog, to take Silvia to the back.

Once she was safely out of sight, Valmont turned back to Finn and said, "I can't believe I lied to my own daughter like that, but if she or Bai-Tza found out what I really intend to do with the tortoise, they would be furious with me for a long time."

Finn looked puzzled. He asked, "Why, Big V?"

Valmont answered, "Here's what's really going to happen. You're taking an immediate detour. I have an acquaintance who I'm certain will pay top dollar for our endangered friend."

Finn answered back, "Okay. You're the boss, V."

The phone next to the monitor started ringing. Finn said, "Whoa, getting another call. I have to go."

He turned off the monitor and answered the phone. It was Ratso.

"Yo! Ratso!"

Ratso told Finn over the phone that they left him behind.

Finn replied, "Sorry, dude."

(On the other end of the phone)

Ratso was on a payphone. He answered Finn's apology with, "Forget sorry! I need a ride! Where? Yeah, I can find it."

Hiding behind a bus waiting station nearby, Jackie & Jade were spying on Ratso.

Jackie whispered, "He's arranging to meet with the others."

His overeager nephew replied, "Cool! Now we jump him?"

"Keep low, he'll see us!"

Ratso finished the call with, "But this time, wait for me!" then hung up the phone and walked away.

A taxi cab pulled up by Jackie & Jade at that moment. Jackie told Jade to jump into the cab, but as soon as she got in, Jackie shut the door and waved bye-bye.

Jade turned around and saw Uncle and Drago sitting right next to her. She had been tricked.

The two said, "Hi, Jade!"

Jade looked back at Jackie and growled.

Drago then asked, "So, how was school today?"

Jade replied, "Peachy."

Drago giggled at that response. "Peachy. Hahaha."

Uncle said, "One more thing. Did Jackie find the Rabbit Talisman?"

Jade grinned, then turned, raised her hands in a threatening way, and said, "I AM NOT JADE! I AM POW-KUNG THE POWERFUL, RULER OF THE RABBIT REALM!"

Uncle freaked out, thinking she was serious, but Drago knew what she was doing. Still, he decided to watch and see what happened.

Jade continued her rant, "I MUST FULFILL MY DESTINY, OR THE UNIVERSE ITSELF SHALL BECOME UNMADE! RELEASE ME AT ONCE!"

The cab pulled over, and Jade got out. As the cab drove away, Jade mumbled, "Man, that was rough on the throat."

Back in the cab, Drago started laughing at Uncle. The old man turned and said, "What are you laughing at, dragon boy?"

"You are so gullible, you know that?" replied Drago, to which Uncle could only say a silent aiyah to being duped by Jade.

(At the marina)

A large yacht pulled up to the dock as Ratso arrived at the marina where the rest of the Dark Hand was waiting.

Jackie Chan hid behind some boxes as he followed Ratso to where he met up with the other Enforcers. As he snuck closer, he heard, "We're outnumbered!" which startled him. He turned around. Jade had followed him AGAIN.

"Don't you have a report to do?"

Jade knocked on the box they were hiding behind, reminding him that she "needed the tortoise."

Behind another set of boxes, Silvia snuck up to where the big yacht was stationed. This didn't look like home at all, and they took the tortoise off the plane without telling her. They didn't leave anyone onboard to watch her, so she followed them to the yacht.

What she heard and saw horrified the little girl.

A wealthy-looking man came out of the yacht and welcomed the Enforcers.

"Are you Carl… Niver?" asked Finn.

"Nivore. Dr. Carl Nivore."

Nivore walked down the gangway, stopping just in front of Aesop.

"And this fellow must be the merchandise of which Valmont spoke. Hmm, yes."

As he looked over his new prize, Silvia started getting uncomfortable. This guy was really creepy. Why did her father deal with such people? And why was the big turtle being given to him and not being returned to the aquarium?

Tohru eventually got impatient with Nivore and demanded the payment for bringing the tortoise to him.

A frustrated Nivore then called his chef, Boris, to come down and give Tohru the payment for Aesop.

After Tohru took the briefcase with the money, Nivore asked, "Care to join me for dinner?"

Tohru simply replied, "Thank you. No."

To that rejection, Nivore licked his fingers, "But we're having quite the delicacy. A dish so rare, you might say it's endangered. Turtle soup." he finished as he started salivating.

Silvia's heart dropped as she heard him say that. "He's going to eat the big turtle? No, that's cruel! I can't let that bad man do that!"

Jade, who was hiding nearby with Jackie, thought the same thing.

Nivore asked, "Are you sure you don't want to join me for dinner?"

Tohru, who was just as disgusted about what he had just heard as the two girls, struggled to reply, before finally holding out the Rabbit Talisman, saying that they needed to deliver it to Valmont immediately.

Jackie gasped, "Oh! Tohru has the Talisman!"

Jade was not worried about that. She was fixated on the tortoise. She mumbled, "He's going to eat Aesop."

Tohru snapped his fingers, and the Enforcers walked away. After they left, Nivore ordered Boris to get a forklift to get Aesop on board.

Silvia, having heard him say that, looked over and saw a nearby forklift. "I won't let that bad guy harm the big turtle." she thought as she headed over there.

Jackie told Jade to stay where she was, and then started following the Dark Hand to their escape plane. Before he got too far, he was pulled back by Jade, who demanded, "Where are you going?"

Jackie replied, "After the Talisman!"

Jade replied, "But what about Aesop?"

Jackie simply said, "You can choose another topic for your report."

Jade refused to budge, "Duh, this isn't about the report! Aesop's going to be that creepy guy's dindin if we don't do something!"

Jackie retorted, "We WILL do something, after we get the Talisman."

"But Aesop's in immediate danger."

Jackie calmly said, "Jade, we don't know what power this Talisman possesses. If the Dark Hand gets it, people could be in danger."

Jade didn't cave. "Oh, so you're okay with letting something that looks just like Uncle get eaten?"

Jackie, now frustrated, replied, "Where do you come up with these things?"

"Chan." A deep voiced called.

Jackie & Jade looked up. Tohru was standing over the box they were hiding behind.

He continued, "I thought I heard your voice." Jackie and Jade both gasped and ran, as Tohru picked up the crate and threw it at them.

While running, with Jade in his arms, Jackie knocked over some barrels. Chow and Finn got clear of them, but another henchmen was not so lucky. Jackie jumpd onto a pile of tiles, which were usntable and soon wobbled under their weight. Jackie threw Jade ontot he top of a nearby crate and landed on the ground. Jackie ran to the side of a net, and jumped upwards, as two thugs crashed into the crate behind. Tohru grabbed a crane and twirled it around, until he threw it at Jackie. He nearly missed it, as he jumped onto one of the crates being loaded, but i turned out Ratso was working the machine and used it to try and crush him. Jackie jumped out of the way, just in time to miss being crushed. Ratos growled and dropped te crate, forcing Jackie to quickly climb up the line to the top of the crate. Jackie climbed down the crane, until he came face to face with Ratso.

Ratso put his hands up in the air. "Uncle." He said.

"Where?" Jackie said, looking around.

Ratso smirked and lunged for him, only to merely catch air as Jackie stepped aside. Jackie then looked to the plane. "Tohru." He said, before heading towards it. He jumped inside and high jumped kicked Tohru, grabbing the talisman afterwards. He snuck out the other way round and tried to jump off the plane. Tohru, however, caught him by his leg. He stepped onto his back, causing Jackie considerable pain, before grabbing the talisman. "Careful. That one turns you into ahhh, a chocolate bunny." He said, desperatly. He then jumped onto Tohru's arm and tried to pry it free. However, this just activated the talisman. Tohru sped away. "How'd you get down there, so fast." Tohru sped right up to him, taking a look at the talisman. He then back handed Jackie to the ground. Tohru kept playing with him, speeding up and taking hits. Finally, Jackie tricked him into speeding right into the plane, turning it over. Jackie picked up the talisman and then looked out to the boat. "Jade."

(Onboard Nivore's Yacht)

In the kitchen of the yacht, Boris was preparing Nivore's dinner, which would be Aesop.

Nivore started raving about dishes he had previously eaten.

"Boris, that braised Manatee you prepared last week was absolutely exquisite. And the grilled American Condor on a bed of Fava beans, to die for!"

As he turned and walked out, he told Boris, "Don't forget the carrots. I'll be aft, in the study."

Shortly after, Boris went to go get the carrots Nivore asked him for. As soon as he left the galley, Jade crawled out of a cabinet and ran to Aesop.

When she got to him, she was surprised to find Silvia trying to move the big tortoise herself.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I want to save this big turtle from that old man."

"So do I. I'm Jade."

"My name is Silvia."

"Nice to meet you, Silvia. I'd like to socialize, but we need to get Aesop out of here before that chef guy comes back."

"Oh, so Aesop was the big turtle's name." said Silvia.

Jade replied, "He's called a tortoise, duh." as they started trying to get Aesop to move.

(Onboard Nivore's Yacht)

As Jade and Silvia continued to struggle to get Aesop to move, they heard a door open.

The chef was coming back.

Jade turned off the stove that the soup was cooking on, and then they both hid in a drawer.

As Boris came back with the carrots, he noticed the stove was off, so he turned it back on and started sharpening a cleaver to hack Aesop's head off.

At that very second, Jade & Silvia jumped off of the drawer and yelled, "Stop!"

Boris gave them a threatening look, which caused Jade to beg, "Pretty please!"

Boris took them prisoner and brought them to Nivore, who replied, "Stowaways?"

"Release Aesop, you tortoise-eating creep!" Jade demanded.

"Yeah, don't harm the turtle, or my Dad will hurt you!" added Silvia.

Nivore was unfazed by their threats. "Such delightful children. They would go great with a béarnaise sauce, wouldn't you say, Boris?"

Jade and Silvia were horrified when he said that. "WHAT!" they shouted.

Nivore laughed and said, "I'm only joking, girls. Children are much too common for my sophisticated palate."

Silvia then yelled, "If you hurt me, my daddy Valmont will make you pay for it!"

Jade & Nivore gasped at that revelation. She was Valmont's daughter?

Nivore got over the shock quickly, and then said, "Little girl, your father is the one who gave me that tortoise for my dinner."

Silvia replied, "No! My Daddy would never do that!"

Jade simply said, "Your Daddy's Valmont, duh. He only cares about himself."

Silvia gave her a mad stare, "You're wrong." She started crying. "My Daddy cares about me. He won't let anything bad happen to me."

Nivore, tired at the debate that was taking shape, ordered Boris to lock them up and get back to cooking his dinner.

(At the Marina)

Jackie was really upset. Jade had left him and sneaked onboard Nivore's yacht to save Aesop, and would no doubt be captured.

As he wondered how he would get to the yacht, he looked down at the Talisman in his hand.

"Duh!" he went, and thus, he used the Talisman to speed across the ocean to the yacht.

(Onboard Nivore's Yacht)

Jade and Silvia sat in the locked storage room. Jade was still recovering from the shock that the girl she was sitting next to was Valmont's daughter.

"I wonder what kind of life she leads, her father being the head of the biggest crime syndicate in the world and all." she thought.

She decided to ask. "So, what do you do, with your father being really busy and all?"

Silvia responded, "Oh, my Daddy always has the time to play with me."

Jade then asked, "What about your mother?"

"As for my Mommy, she home-schools me. Says it's too dangerous for me to go to regular school."

Jade did a face palm. "First Drago, and now this kid? They get to stay home to get educated, but I have to get up and go to some stupid school with bratty kids that don't believe a word I say about my adventures with Uncle Jackie? It's not fair!"

Jade was now curious about Silvia's mother.

"Um, what is your Mommy's name?"

Before Silvia could answer that, a banging outside caught their attention. Jade got up and looked out the porthole.

Jackie Chan was right outside.

"Jackie, I'm in here!"

Instead of responding, Jackie disappeared. Next thing she knew, he was inside the storeroom with her and Silvia.

Jade said, "Whoa. How'd you go from there to here so fast?"

Jackie held out the Rabbit Talisman. He smiled.

"And NOW we'll save the tortoise. See, slow and steady wins the race."

Silvia stepped forward, "That's the Talisman my Daddy wanted."

Jackie recognized her. "Hey. You're the girl from the aquarium. Your name's Silvia, right?"

Silvia nodded.

Jade then interrupted, "Jackie, this girl is Valmont's daughter."

Jackie went "Bwah?" at hearing that. The little girl was the daughter of the Dark Hand leader? That meant only one thing: If Valmont knew she was here, than the Dark Hand was on its way to get her. He needed to get here someplace safe before they arrived.

Silvia said, "You're Jackie Chan, aren't you? I heard you're my Daddy's enemy."

Jackie nodded at that, but decided not to try to talk to her about it. She WAS his daughter, after all.

Jackie said, "I need to get both of you off of this yacht, immediately."

Silvia then said, "But what about the big turtle? We can't leave him."

Jackie realized that Silvia was here to try and save Aesop, and he wouldn't hear the end of it if they didn't get him as well.

He picked both of them up, and used the Rabbit to get out of the storage room.

(At Valmont's Lair)

Valmont had never been so angry AND embarrassed in his entire life. First, he lied to Bai-Tza about Silvia sneaking out of the hideout and ending up at the aquarium, and then, when he expected his enforcers to come back with both Silvia AND the Rabbit Talisman, they had neither. Once Bai-Tza found out about Valmont lying to her about Silvia and the tortoise, as well as the revelation that Silvia could have snuck onto Nivore's yacht to save the reptile, he got the angriest tirade he had ever heard and a series of slaps, as well as the displeasure of Shendu for failing to retrieve the Talisman.

He was glad Bai-Tza hadn't been restored yet, otherwise, he would be drenched in ice-cold water right now.

As Shendu started summoning his ShadowKhan to get the Talisman themselves, Bai-Tza stopped him.

"Brother, this is my daughter you could be putting in danger if you send your ninjas out."

Shendu disgustingly replied, "Who cares about that brat? I want my Talisman!"

Valmont turned around and said, "Shendu, call them off. You don't want to make my wife any madder than she is right now, or the Talisman will be the least of your worries."

Although he would normally scoff at being ordered around, he complied that time, and the ShadowKhan returned to the darkness.

Bai-Tza then told Valmont, "WE are going to that yacht and rescuing Silvia!"

Valmont looked surprised, "We?"

Bai-Tza retorted, "Yes, you are going, too. This is your daughter, after all."

That got Valmont's attention. He nodded, and pulled out his phone and contacted Finn, Ratso, and Chow to get a chopper ready for him and Bai-Tza.

As they left, they passed by a drenched Tohru. Bai-Tza turned back to Shendu and said, "Brother, poor Tohru looks cold. Could you warm him up?"

Shendu answered, "With pleasure." before sending a blast of fire right at the sumo. He had to duck in order to avoid being torched.

As Bai-Tza and Valmont left the room, Tohru looked at Shendu and said, "Whoa. I did not know you could do that."

The stone dragon replied, "If you fail me again, that blast of fire will look small in comparison."

(Onboard Nivore's Yacht)

With the stowaways locked up, Boris resharpend his cleaver and went back to Aesop to chop his head off so he could cook him.

Before he could swing the cleaver, Jackie, Jade, and Silvia appeared in front of him. Jackie playfully said, "Kitchen's closed."

That didn't deter the chef, who went ahead and swung the cleaver down on Aesop only to realize it wasn't in his hands anymore.

Boris looked up. Chan twirled the cleaver on his finger and then threw it into the wall.

Before Boris could react, Jackie grabbed him and sped back to the storage room, locking Boris in it.

Meanwhile, Jade and Silvia were trying to pick up the Aesop. Jackie, once Boris was locked up, came over to help. They just simply couldn't budge the giant tortoise. While that was happening, a few of Nivore's guards started huddling around them. "Hey you." One said. "Stop right there." Jackie looked at the talisman in his had and got an idea. He turned on its power and sped around the henchmen, taking hits on them.

Jade was still trying to push Aesop, when Silvia grabbed some carrots. Aesop moved after them. Jade laughed nervously. "I knew that." She said, but this made Silvia giggle. They kept up luring Aesop with the carrots, until they accidently came upon Nivore's room. He looked over and saw them. Jade held up a carrot and laughed again, nervously. "What's up doc."

"What?" Nivore said, getting up, obviously surprised at seeing them.. "How did you.." He moved over to them. He evilly smirked at them. "I want my dinner." Silvia started to silently cry in fear.

Jackie then sped up to them, after he had finished dealing with the guards. "You will not touch a single hair on their heads." He said, before speeding over and taking the rest. Once he sped to the deck and before he went over the water, he saw a plane starting to land.

"Daddy." Silvia chimed, happily. Jackie sighed and dropped her off before heading off with Jade.

(Valmont)

When he saw his little bundle of joy, waving up at him, he couldn't describe the emotins he was feeling right now. Once the plane landed, he and Bai Tza were out in a flash. They wrapped their arms around her and held her close. "Daddy, mommy, I'm so glad you're here." Silvia said.

"Nothing could keep us away." Valmont said. 'Nothing in this or any realm.' He thought.

"I'm so glad too see you again." Bai Tza said, before pulling away. "But you are in big trouble, missy. You know better than too run off."

Silvia held her head down low. "I know." She said. "But please don't let the scary man cook me." She started to cry. Bai Tza pulled her close to her and stroked her hair.

Valmont stood up, his hands tightly clenched in fists. 'Nivore.' As he thought the man's name, he appeared out of the doorway. He just smiled and walked up to him. Before he could say anything, Valmont punched him straight in the face.

"What is the meaning of this?" Nivore said, looking up at him in shock.

Valmont picked him up by the collar. "You tried to harm my daughter." He said, pointing to his little girl, who was sobbing.

"I didn't know…." Nivore was interrupted when Valmont punched him again.

"No one hurts my little girl." Valmont yelled into his ear. Rage easily read in it. "No one." He threw him over to his three goons, who were glaring daggers into the man. "Take him to the police. I think we have enough evidence here to put up a case."

The three of them smiled. "Got it big V." Finn said, before they took him up. The three of them looked over to Sivlia, obviously concerned, before taking Nivore back inside.

Valmont started to calm down, before looking over at his family. Bai Tza was craddling Silvia, who's sobbs had quieted down. 'This is my fault.' He thought. 'I had thought of my business before my family. If I had been the better father, none of this would have happened. I let my old self dictate me and I almost lost the greatest investment of my whole life. Silvia. Well, no more. From this day forth, my family will be my top priority, above all else.' He walked over to them, and helped them up. He kissed Silvia on her forehead. "Let's go home." He said, before the three of them went to the plane. Together.

(The next day)

Jade took a field trip to the aquarium the next day. Like before, she had told Drew about the events that took place the day before. Of course, he didn't believe her.

Jade claimed he was "faster than a speeding rabbit."

Drew retorted, "Yeah, right. I bet that super strong ox guy was there too."

Jade replied with, "El Toro. Nah, that was in Mexico, when I flew a plane." as they continued the argument throughout the rest of the field trip.

I hope you enjoyed this and I also hope it was worth the wait.
