"What's the plan?" - A

He asked as they looked around the empty cells.

"We locate the remaining talismans, and use them against the Dark Hand, and eventually, to finish off the Ultimate Evil." - LP

"You know where the other talismans are?!" - JC

"Yeah, he created them. Catch up." - A

He said as the trio began to walk through Alcatraz, not really looking for anything. They were just walking around out of boredom. Plus, they didn't want the Dark Hand to be able to see them plotting.

"The boy is right. I hid each talisman, I know where they are. Or atleast, where they were in my time." - LP

"Which was nine hundred years ago, and who knows where they are now..." - JC

"I hid each talismán in a very secure location. Some were even guarded by beasts! How did the Ultimate Evil even locate them?" - LP

"Well, everytime we see his minions, they've got a weird dragon staff thing. It could act as a sort of tracker for talismans." - A

"Then it is urgent we find the talismans before they do..." - LP

"Well, I do have a spell that could help. Thing is, I'm not sure how well it'll work with locating the talismans. I've never seen them before and even if it works, it might not give us enough details." - A

"It's worth a try!" - JC

"I admit. I, too, am curious." - LP

"Alright, but be prepared. Everytime I've used this spell, something bad has always happened."

Aster said before he chanted the spell for the All Seeing Eye. Lo Pei used an illusion scroll to show Aster images of all four remaining talismans. The Monkey, the Dog, the Pig, and the Tiger.

Aster focused on just the Monkey. The All Seeing Eye searched for a moment before finding it. It seemed to be within an old ship wreck...

At the bottom of the ocean...

"Well, that's tricky, even for me..." - LP

He said in regards to getting to the talisman. Aster kept searching for clues as to where the ship even was, and eventually, with Jackie's help, managed to determine it was somewhere in Micronesia.

Aster finally cancelled the spell so they could figure out how they were even going to get there.

"We should talk to Captain Black, he has resources that can help us." - JC

"You mean the bald man?" - LP

"Yeah...him. We'll talk to him. But if they point things at you, try not to be offended." - A

He said as Lo Pei nodded. Aster then opened a portal to Section Thirteen. Jackie was used to it, but Lo Pei was amazed. Not even he could do something like this.

Aster and Jackie spent about an hour talking, and arguing, with Black. Aster got the worst of it since it was his fault for even allowing Jade to bring Lo Pei to life. But at least now they had a chance to get all four remaining talismans in one go, so he was off the hook.

They had a whole mission prepared. Jackie and Aster would put on scuba diving suits and venture into the deep waters to retrieve the talisman.

Lo Pei would be required to stay behind where Black could keep an eye on him. Lo Pei begrudgingly agreed on the condition he got to safeguard the talismans he already had until they were all gathered. Then they'd discuss the best way to protect them, since clearly hiding them across the planet only slowed Shendu down.

Before they left, Aster asked an important question to Lo Pei.

"What exactly does this talismán do? I don't want to accidentally activate it and compromise the whole mission." - A

"Ah, the monkey. It holds the power to change form." - LP

"Shapeshifting. Got it." - A

'Why must old men be so cryptic...' - A

He thought to himself before leaving with Jackie.

Aster and Jackie used a portal to help transport a boat, and themselves, to Micronesia. Once there, they suited up and dove into the water.

Aster used his wand and to create a small ball of light that would help them find the ship. Once they reached it, it took them several minutes to find the talisman buried under the debris.

'This is a lot easier than it usually is...maybe I'm just being paranoid.' - A

He and Jackie swam back up to the boat, ready to return to Section Thirteen.

With the Monkey Talismán now safely contained, they were ready to move on to the Dog.

"Alright, first off, what power does it have?" - A

"The dog holds the power of rejuvenation. It can grant Immortality as long as you have it." - LP

"I see...you know where it is, right? Because id rather use the All Seeing Eye as little as possible." - A

Lo Pei remembered where he hid it.

"I found a large structure with four large arms spinning in a circle, and hid the talisman in its walls." - LP

"Four spinning arms?" - A

He said with a confused look.

"Yes, I believe they called it a 'windmill'." - LP

"Do you remember exactly where that windmill is?" - A

Lo Pei nodded.

"Cool, then you can help us find it." - A

"How? He can't leave the base." - JC

"He's not going anywhere." - A

He said with a smile.

Aster and Jackie were riding on a cloud that Aster created while wearing helmets that had a camera on it, allowing Lo Pei to see where they were going and give them directions, like a GPS.

His directions lead them to a windmill in the Netherlands. Jackie waited outside while Aster went inside and used a detection spell to scan the walls. He had to go up a couple of floors before finally finding it.

He grabbed at the stones that made up the walls and began to pull them apart, revealing a little hidden compartment with the Dog Talisman inside. He took it and then walked back downstairs to get Jackie.

"Got it. Two down, two to go." - A

He said as he opened a portal to head back to Section Thirteen.
