Jackie ducked and was met with a kick to the stomach as the crab creature followed up swiftly .Jackie himself counter attacked with a kick that hit the crab between the eyes ,it fell backwards as the other two clan attacked together Nathan joined Jackie and both using advanced martial arts were able to see the crab retreat back into the ocean .Jackie knew they would have to act quickly Jade pulled up alongside in a small craft and retrieved Jackie Nathan and the still unconscious female and returned to the Main vessel.Jackie instructed Nathan to take care of the Atlantean as he was going to return to the submergible to chase down the clabclan .He believed they were part of a group he had heard about know as the keepers .The keepers to date had only been a myth and Jackie felt certain these strange creatures had to be part of the group .The craft again dived below the waves ,but no sign of the clabclan could be seen.Jackie searched till his oxygen supply was just about gone and as he was returning to the surface a large Octopus like creature wrapped itself around the submergible .Jackie looked at the port window and thought he was looking at Ratso but that wasn’t possible as this thing had octopus type arms that gripped his craft .No matter how hard he tried he could not escape he felt himself being taken deeper and before long they entered a large underwater cave that was illuminated by squid that were glowing .Jackies craft was released and disabled by the Octoratso thing .Before long queen of the keepers approached Jackie .the water in the cave disappeared allowing Jackie to exit the craft.Queen Serpia spoke first .I know you Jackie Chan .My agents have watched you for years and we have seen how you have used the Chinese Talismans .Why are you here? Are you looking to take the Zodiac kept safe by the keepers for thousands of years .Chan looked at Serpia his response was well thought out .(Queen Serpia yes we have been looking for the power of the zodiac .If you have been watching me then you would know the power held by Drago and Shendu )(Serpia looked at Chan we know you used magic to hold them both in the never world Demon prison.) Chan replied Yes Queen this is true, but both have grown strong and we feel the portals beginning to move if they open and release the demons they will destroy this world that we both live in.Queen Serpia laughed you expect me to simply take your word for it Chan.
Jackie replied why else would I risk my life looking for the zodiacs ,I have no use for them .Serpia suddenly moved her arms swiftly and cast a spell that enable Jackie to breath under water .Jackie was unaware this had happened and panicked as the cave again began filling with water .He attempted to enter his craft but it was to late the water engulfed him he held his breath as long as he could and when he couldn’t any longer he opened his mouth and discovered he could breath. He looked at serpia who was laughing uncontrollably .You thing that’s some kind of joke .serpia replied yes I do .Come with me now Chan I will take to my world and explain to you why I can not release the zodiacs to anyone we the keepers use the zodiac only to provide us power and will not share that with anyone and especially not you Chan.Suddenly Serpia was hit by an object from behind and turned around to see Jade in armoured underwater diving gear.Serpia again waved her arms and Jade was flung back by a blast of fast moving water and hit the back of the cave .Jackie yelled at her to stop and moved in front of Jade to stop any further attack.Suddenly 5 of the crab clan moved on Chan and Jade the cave became an arena of martial arts with the crab clan showing great skill ,high flying kicks and punches exploded all around Jackie he was able to fight off the first two when Queen Serpia stopped the advancing Crab clan and told them to stand down they all complied .Now Chan do you see you are outnumbered any more attacks from any of you and I will feed you to the sharks.I had intended to show you my world but now I shall return you to your vessel and you will all leave no more warnings.Jackie and Jade we taken to the ladder and boarded the vessel both were met by Nathan.Where is the submergible he asked Jackie explained what had happened with Queen Serpia Nathan looked at Jackie and said the girl we brought found is awake her name is Andromeda and she has quiet a tale to tell .Jackie you must come meet her .Jackie ,Jade and Nathan went to sick bay where Andromeda was sitting up in bed .She explained how the keepers and Atlanteans had been at war for many years and how the keepers had suck Atlantis leaving no trace of their culture behind it had been assumed this would happen and several Atlanteans had been placed in animated suspension .This is where Nathan had found Andromeda .She explained how when Queen Serpia had taken over as ruler of the keepers the alliance that had existed between the two nations had crumbled as Serpia did not want Atlanteans using the zodiacs .They had fought for many years and the keepers had proven to be to strong defeating Atlantis and taking back control of the zodiac.Most had perished only those selected to be kept in suspension would survive .Andromeda asked Chan to help her recover those remaining of her people and she also mentioned that power suits were kept in suspension . Jackie knew he would need all his team to attempt to help Andromeda and placed a call to Captain Black as he knew Black would be able to round up the team quickly.In the mean time Jackie spoke at length with Andromeda and discovered Queen Serpia was ruthless and would stop at nothing to assure the western zodiacs would not fall into anyone else’s hands .Serpia had no intention of sharing either the powers of the zodiac or information if Shendu and Drago escaped the portal of Demons she would fight them herself. Andromeda watched almost her entire destroyed by Queen Serpia the Atlanteans had attempted everything to stop their city from being destroyed including handing over the zodiacs they had to remove all information .But Serpia knew that this would only delay the inevitable that with knowledge of the zodiac Atlantis at some stage would attempt to revisit the secret of the zodiac that the now possessed as such the only way forward was to remove Atlantis from the face of the earth ,No negotiation was going to stop her sinking this city and with all the secrets .Jackie now called on Tohru and the disciples of the Chan martial arts team to assist them .This would take time to put together but was needed to be done quickly as Serpia may attack at anytime.Carl Rice had caught wind of what was happening and quickly reported back to the ice crew. The ice crew also responded quickly if there was any truth to what they were hearing ,they intended to be sure to capture the western zodiac so StrikeMaster Ice arranged access to a spy satellite that would locate the Chan team .Once they had The ice crew intended to move on Chan and steal whatever zodiac icons had been found .Unfortunately for Strike Master he had no idea about Queen Serpia and her underwater legion of aqua warriors .He was in for a huge shock. Jackie had planned for the team to meet on board the research vessel Uncle .His team were not only martial arts specialists but had studied magic under Tohru .
Serpia had been by this stage listening in on all outgoing transmission from the vessel and now called on the crabclan to strike .20 crabs attacked the research vessel at once shooting from the ocean and on to the deck Jackie ,Jade and Nathan were swarmed by these creatures .Jackie ,Jade <Nathan stood back to back suddenly Jackie started to chant (Yuumo Gwei Gwai Fai Dee Zao)Water spouts rose from the ocean water twisters that spun and shot away anything in their path .The crabclan saw the twisters coming and frantically looked for cover .The first 6 were picked up by the twister and spat out as if they had been shot from a cannon far away into the distant ocean.Suddenly Queen Serpia rose to the surface a mermaid with huge horns protruding from her head .She seemed to take for ever to come into full view due to her incredible size ,She loomed over everyone and roared as she did so the research Vessel and all on it were lifted into the air Serpia thrust her arms forward and the vessel was thrown forward .Jackie was completely taken off guard and had no immediate response for now he simply clung on as did everyone around him .This wasn’t going to end well he realised as they were moving with Jet like speed again Jackies chant rang out (Yuumo Gwei Gwai Fai Dee Zao) He called on the element of air to slow them .The air became thick like a wall had been placed in front of them and the ship slowed and stopped .Everyone on board looked at Jackie knowing had saved them all form death or injury .Jackie had no idea where they were, Queen Serpia had moved them into what seemed like another dimension everything around seemed different the sky was grey and the ocean matched in colour there didn’t seem to be any sound .It suddenly dawned on Jade who spoke to Jackie omg Jackie Serpia has launched us into the negative world where everything except us is different.
Jackie knew Jade was correct he knew it was a powerful being that had been able to do this and didn’t know if Uncle magic would work to get them back to their own dimension.
All on board gathered around looking at this strange place where nothing made and sense it was all so different .Jackie looked at the crew and said “ For now we just need time” I have to look at how we might use uncle magic to return us .Until then we need to keep a close watch ,who knows what creatures live in this world ,I have a feeling we are going to find out .Tohru you and your team stand watch and call us if anything is to happen .Jade and I are going below deck to explore what options we now have.Serpia intended us all to die here and we would have so now we need to survive until we can return home .Captain Black was aware that the Chan team had been transported to another dimension as he had witnessed the portal open as he was on his way to the discovery vessel .He knew it was going to take Chi magic to release them from the dimensional void they were now all trapped in .He had under estimated Queen Serpia powers and had assumed most of her magic was called on through the zodiac but she was far more powerful than that. He would have to find Jimmy ISO who was currently locked away under quarantined arrest .Black knew that Jimmy would be cooperative if he felt his sentence might be reduced .While he was Tohru’s apprentice he had surpassed all expectation and was equal to Tohru in ability .Unfortunately Jimmy when he transformed to ISO he became drawn under the charm of Dark magic and had he not been place in quarantine would have surely caused destruction and chaos .
Jimmy
Jimmy is one of Jade's friends, who, in a possible future, grew up to become Tohru's apprentice, but ended up becoming the infamous dark chi wizard Iso. He had the power to create a metal serpent and summon dark chi warriors called Iso's.
History
Jimmy was treated like a "freakoid" at school. After he couldn't get his bag out of a tree, Jade helped him and decided to bring him to crowd where he would fit in: her family, who were busy trying to locate the other half of the Chi Arcanum.
Years later, Jimmy grew up to become Tohru's apprentice. But seduced by dark chi, he took on an alter ego of Iso, becoming number one on Section 13's most wanted list. Using a time portal spell, he traveled to the past, to a few minutes after Jade introduced him to her family and snatched the current half of the Arcanum. But Past Jade followed him and, with her future self, found Iso's lair and took the other half back. After destroying the shopping mall where his lair was located, Future Jade was fired from Section 13. But in his Jimmy persona, he tricked the two Jades into retrieving the other half of the Arcanum on Eagle's Peak, which he combines, revealing himself as Iso.
He didn't blame Tohru for not noticing, merely Jade for introducing them and allowing this moment to occur. Enhanced by the Arcanum, Iso conjured up an army of Iso's to take down the Chans. But past Jade went back to the present and got Past Jimmy to return to the future with her; there, he saw his older self, and was horrified at what type of person he had become. Jade reassured him and he confessed that he was afraid of heights; with the help of the Rooster Talisman, Past Jade lifts Iso into the air, frightening him.
When he was being arrested, Past Jimmy went up to his future self and firmly declared that, while he may be a "freakoid" now, he refused to ever become an evil loser like him. He and Jade took the Arcanum into the past to be destroyed.
Captain Black arranged a meeting with ISO at the C.h.i Canceled Harm institute where he was being detained .Jimmy had no idea what Black wanted but knew it must be something significant .Captain Black waited for Jimmy Iso in the defused room where no magic could be used without detection this was simply a precaution as ISO wore a collar that stopped his ability to conjure his spells .Jimmy arrived at the room hate was obvious in his eyes it was obvious he hated Black .He asked “What is it you want Black”Captain Black replied “Jimmy it is in your best interest to listen to me I am going to offer you a deal if you help me “ Jimmy replied”Help with what”? Chan ,Jade and Tohru have been banished to an altered dimension we need you to help us get them back .Jimmy laughed HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU REALLY THINK I WILL HELP YOU .THEY CAN ROT .Black replied What if I were to tell you that you may be released .NEVER ,NEVER they can stay there .Black Don’t do it for them think of Jade .She fought to try and save you when everyone else wanted you hanged. ISO thought about this for a bit .You say I will be released under what conditions .Black looked at him your collar stays on so you are not able to use magic but other than that you’re a free man.
Powers of the western Zodiac
Queen Serpia holds the key to unlocking the powers of the zodiacs her birth right as royalty of the keepers has awarded her, the ability to rule over all zodiac members and powers .
Not all zodiacs are gods or warriors many are elements such as earth, wind, fire and water that Serpia holds power over .In order for this power to be used by others it must be allowed by Serpia herself .If Serpia were to be killed he powers over the zodiacs transfers to her children .The only other way for this to change is for all 12 zodiac members to agree to allow powers to be used by others .Capricorn is her sign as such she also hold a spot amongst the 13 zodiacs .
Aries
Aries master of combat in all forms .Aries as god of war has the ability to master all known martial and magical arts .This not only makes him adaptive but incredibly strong .His strengths are most useful in times of dispute or war where he may be called on to fight for the keepers he in addition is able to manipulate fire .
Aries weakness is his inability to look at other options to prevent war or violence .He may be made ineffective by assuring disputes don’t escalate to violence if this were to occur Aries will not fight.
Taurus
Taurus don’t judge the book by its cover as Taurus is very different to aries .Taurus is the head of reason and believes his best senses are taste and smell .Although holding the ability to use his incredible strength it is something only used as a very last resort .He answers to the Keeper but will be inclined to make up his own mind .Primarily used by Queen Serpia when negotiations for peace are required .Taurus is a vegetarian and his weakness is his soft heart as he may be manipulated.
Gemini
Gemini is very powerful but for reason that aren’t just linked to superpowers .Gemini has the ability to cross genders and be either male or female in both forms known as the twins Gemini holds the gift of communication and an ability to mimic everything and anyone they come across and with this there is multiple choice by being able to fit in anywhere .In a world of uncertainty Gemini can be placed anywhere with the ability to shape shift and transform in any form animal or human.
cancer
Cancer Kahn the summoner of the crab Kahn who has the ability to call on the crab kahn when he is required to do so like the soldiers of the crab kahn he has incredible strength but unlike the soldiers is difficult to destroy as he is able to regenerate quickly .Like many of the zodiac members he may be summoned by Queen Serpie and will often help her.
Leo
Leo allows beast-based abilities, such as a Feral Mind, Natural Weaponry, Superhuman Senses, Enhanced Reflexes, Lion Physiology/Nemean Lion Physiology or Animal Manipulation. Also includes Fire Manipulation and Solar Empowerment.
Leo is one of the land based Zodiacs that is much like Aries in that he enjoys War and Dispute .

Libra
Libra is an object used for making it’s user flexible under the spell of the libra scale one can move around like a snake and manipulate their body to fit anywhere .The scale also increases intelligence and Serpia often uses the scale to help her in times of trouble.

Ophiuchus
Ophiuchus: Ophiuchus allows wisdom-based abilities, such as Intuitive Aptitude, Flawless Precognition, Astral Premonition, Architecture Manipulation, and Healing Blood. As the Serpent-bearer this can allow Snake Physiology and/or Snake Manipulation.
Users can control various snakes. They control them to do their bidding, like helping them during situations, using them against foes, using them to see locations and get information about a particular place, using them for battle, and using them for spying on others. User can also understand or communicate with them, hence creating and strengthening friendships.

The user can telepathically read the minds of animals and communicate with them, they are also able to control the minds of animals to do their bidding.
User with this ability either is or can transform into an Angel, a being connected to and serving Higher Powers. Most commonly angels simply manifest wings, an inner glow, and/or a halo, which is the usual form of which angels are imagined, but there are several kinds of angels who are far less humanoid, some ranging from strange to surreal.
For practical reasons angels can be divided into three groups defined by what they are formed from:
Physical Angels aren't necessarily solid matter, but they are material/energy beings with relatively defined/stable form and often at least somewhat human-like mind. Most users that aren't originally of angelic stock have this variation. Note that angels of this group aren't necessarily any weaker than those of the other groups, they are simply more "solid" in mind and body.
Aquarius: Aquarius allows water-based abilities, such as Water manipulation, Ice Manipulation, and/or Water Mimicry, Nano-Active Blood. Being an Air sign, the user might also have Air Manipulation and Air Mimicry. Might include Angel Physiology.
Spiritual Angels are completely spiritual beings, and thus far less bound to the laws of physics or single form. Many of them think in ways that are only tangentially relatable to humans, and their forms are both transient and often downright surreal.
Ethereal Angels are often both the most powerful and ancient angels, in some ways closer to sentient concepts than anything else. As such, relating to them in any way is likely impossible.
Pisces
Pisces like Gemini work as a team capable of water manipulation and uniting creatures of the fish kingdom to work together in a common cause .Mostly not aggressive with a preference for peaceful solutions .Is only called on by Serpia when a meeting of sea dwellers is required .Not at all
