The Twelve Talisman: The Fate Of The Twelve (Early Access)(Com) (Patreon)

A very long finale to a series commission by Last_of_workers

The group was sitting in Ryker’s basement pondering ideas on how to turn back, but none of them had the slightest clue about how to turn back, especially since none of them had the talisman that transformed them anymore.

After an hour of thinking, chatting, and a bit of peeping on each other's bodies, Mica had an idea. Why didn’t they ask Jackie Chan? He’d be the best person to ask about the talisman. The group looked at each other and then at Mica and asked why he knew.

They asked Mica if she thought the show was real, and she nodded his head. She didn’t think the events of the show were real, but it was clear it was based on the talisman they acquired, so the best person to ask about them would be Jackie Chan.

The rest of them seemed convinced, then they looked at Josh and asked her if she could find him. She nodded and said yes, but then what were they going to do? Have Tyson run until she gets to him and kidnaps him?

Bryce said they weren't going to keep him hostage, just bring him back here and see if he knows anything and then let him go. Yusuf chimed in and said if he complained or tried anything funny she could just turn him into a harmless little bird.

The rest of the group looked at her a bit taken aback by that but decided to chalk it up as her joking. After it was agreed they’d bring Jackie Chan here and ask him for help, Josh started to meditate and use her power to find him.

Once she had his location she gave it to Tyson who immediately ran off. About an hour later Tyson came running back in carrying a slightly confused Jackie Chan. The group was speechless as they saw him in all his glory.

He looked around the room and took a deep sigh. He already seemed to know what had happened to them. He asked them if the talisman had vanished after they used it and all of them nodded. Jackie then sat down and began to explain how the talisman really worked.

He said that if a person touches a talisman, they’ll be imbued with the spirit of the animal engraved on the talisman, and they’ll get the animal form, and all the powers the group knew from the show, but unlike the show, they vanish after use.

Jackie Chan then went on to say when he was younger he, his family, and several friends had discovered them, used them, and turned them into animal girls, they all then went on an adventure to find the talisman again. Once they had them again, they were able to transform back.

Jackie Chan said it was a long hard quest and was basically impossible. They almost died several times trying to get them. He then finished by saying he was surprised someone managed to find them after all the work they went through to hide them.

The group sat in silence thinking about their situation. Jonas thanked Jackie Chan for giving them that info then asked Tyson to bring him back to where he found him. Tyson got up, Ryker squawked, and asked them to wait.

Everyone looked at her wondering why, and she got super embarrassed when she asked Jackie Chan for his autograph. Once she asked, the rest of them had to ask as well. Once they each had one they said goodbye to Jackie Chan and Tyson ran him back home.

Once Tyson returned they started to talk about finding the talisman, but several of them didn’t even want to turn back, like Bryce, Draco, and Tyson who had come to really enjoy her super speed. Then there were a few of them who didn’t feel up to running around the world looking for them.

Those being the heavier of the girls, like Jonas, Owen, and especially Alijah who was tired just thinking about such a task. The rest of them either didn’t mind their new bodies or powers enough to go out on their own to try and find their talisman.

So they all agreed to stay that way, of course, but then came another problem. Thirteen animal girls with powers in one area were quite dangerous, and would likely arouse suspicion. So they agreed to spread out and settle down in different areas after they went home and explained things to their families.

They hung out a bit more before they decided to start heading home. Ryker watched her friends start to climb up the stairs and told them to wait. She said that no matter where everyone ends up, every year on this day they should meet up again.

The group smiled and made a group promise to meet every year, and then one by one they went out into the world. Then one year later they met up for the first time. Each one had a tale to tell about what they’d been up to over the last year.

After her friends left her house and went off, Ryker sat and thought about what she wanted to do, and being that she was a bird and had the ability to fly, she decided to travel the world and see everything there was to see.

But she quickly figured out that she needed more than the ability to fly to survive in different areas, so started to use her power to earn money as a street performer. People were amazed and she quickly started to make a reputation for herself as an amazing magician.

It turned out to be the perfect cover for her. She became The Amazing Flying Birdita. A stage magician known around the world for her famous levitation and telekinesis-type acts. Little does anyone know, every trick she performs is done using her magical power.

She does put a lot of work into coming up with different ways to use her powers to seem like a new trick, but it’s worth it to see the looks on the crowds as their minds are blown. Her new career really brings her joy, and to be fair the money isn't bad at all.

Jonas wandered for a bit after she left Ryker’s home, eventually, she found herself on the farm she helped out on briefly. They welcomed her back and offered her a full-time job. For the first four months, she would live a double life.

A helpful farm girl by day, and a cow at night, but one night she got caught by the owner of the farm's son. He appears to have been suspicious about her from the first time she was there but didn’t say anything because he couldn’t be sure.

Jonas was prepared to leave and never return, but he conferred with her and told her that she didn’t have to be scared or run away. He even convinced her to introduce her real self to everyone on the farm, all of whom welcomed her wholeheartedly.

Now she spends her days taking care of the other cows, getting milked with them, and sometimes grazing with them, all while she works closely with the owner of the farm's son. She’s also completely oblivious to the fact that he’s fallen in love with her.

Mica kinda lied to them about what she’d been up to, as it wasn’t exactly legal. With her abilities and her snake form, she had become an amazing art thief. She acutely started by stealing small things she needed to survive, but over time she started to enjoy the thrill of it.

She spent three months planning what to date is her biggest heist. She had stolen the Hope diamond and sold it on the black market for a hundred million dollars. She was now set for life, but money couldn’t sate her desire for stealing.

So built herself a hidden bunker in a national forest so it wouldn't ever be disturbed and began stealing as many valuable and irreplaceable things as possible. She’s now easily collected billions of dollars worth of art, precious gems, and ancient artifacts.

She had thought about trying to rob banks, but she didn’t need the money and it wasn’t as interesting or complicated to get into like the many museums she’d broken into. Again she couldn’t tell anyone that, so she said she’s been working as a ranger at the national park where her lair is.

Josh and her army of sheep went on to find a field where they could start their own sheep ranch. Since starting it, she went from having around a dozen sheep who worship her to having nearly fifty, which can be quite tiring sometimes.

She often collects their wool and either sells it or turns it into different things like dream catchers and sweaters. She would often trim her own super soft wool and do the same. She also devoured her wool allowing people to use a bit of her power.

For example, if she makes a pillow using it, someone who sleeps on it can astral project, and sometimes even enter someone's dreams and talk to them. Of course, it was only for a few minutes since her wool once cut only had a fraction of her power.

So that’s about it for her, she’s a simple shepherd and weaver. It’s not super exciting, but being far away from the main cities at the bottom of a mountain was peaceful, and made it really easy for her to use her power to astral project around and keep an eye on her friends.

Tyson because of her speed had actually hung out with a bunch of the others from time to time, which some enjoyed and others didn’t, but she explained what she’d been up to since a few of them she wasn’t able to find even with her speed.

Tyson works a boring day job delivering food since she can make any delivery in her town in less than two minutes and that’s only because she sometimes takes her time, but the highlight of what she does comes when someone is in trouble.

See, had seen the flash and realized her powers were exactly like his, so she began to mimic what he did in the shows and training, then one day she actually used her power to run up a building to catch someone who had fallen.

Ever since then she’s become known as the pink blur. She’ll don her special suit and goggles and run around the city she now lives in saving people and stopping crimes. As a bonus, she is on her way to joining an Olympic track team, purely for fun, she doesn’t plan to win… Every time.

Draco didn’t have as much to say as the others. When she left Ryker’s house she flew back to her cave and started her life living as a powerful and sexy dragon. She spends her days sleeping in her cave.

Then at night, she flies out into the sky to either look for food or to add to her glowing collections of shiny objects. After some time she had a pile of animal bones overflowing from her cave and down the side of the mountain.

That caused the humans who lived in a village at the base of the mountain to come up and bother her. She didn’t take kindly to the intruders and turned into her dragon form, picked them up, and dropped them off at the bottom of the mountain.

She then told them since they disturbed her, they were to offer her food and shiny things like gold, or else she’d burn their town down. Suffice it to say, they kept her well fed and she now has a small pile of gold she sleeps on.

Kane, being a nervous little rat girl, left Ryker’s house hoping for a quiet peaceful life away from people and anything that wasn’t cheese. Yet somehow she ended up getting a job as a night security guard at a huge museum.

For the first month, she walked the halls at night alone with her flashlight getting the life scared out of her by the exhibits, but by the second month she found herself getting bored, so she started using her power to bring the exhibits to life.

So now she has fun bringing the exhibits to life and talking to them. She’s even learned the true history of everything in the museum, which was much more exciting or in some cases completely different than what was recorded in the history books.

Of course, her fun comes to an end every day and she has to rush to put everything back, go delete the security camera footage, and awkwardly wait to be relieved of her duty when the sun comes up. After all that she gets to go off to the cheese shop and buy more cheese than she needs.

Owen had originally gone back to the horse track where she woke up and had that incident to become a jockey or racehorse, but when she arrived she found a horse very injured and people discussing if they should put it out of its misery.

Owen jumped into action and used her power on it, healing it back to perfect health. Everyone around her was amazed and praised her for her miracle. After a bit of talking, they found out she was here for a job, so they offered her one.

So that’s how she became a part-time veterinarian for the horse track and the large horse ranch behind it, and it turns out she loves her new job. She loves healing the hurt horses and other animals that make their way to her.

She also loves sneaking off turning back into her horse form and running on the track. She’s even won a ton of races, and may or may not have bet on herself a few times, but no one needs to know that.

After leaving Ryker’s, Bryce went straight back to the woman who had adopted her while she was in her dog form. They had a happy reunion and the woman was super happy to see her again, and even happier to know she’d be staying with her from now on.

After that Bryce started to work with her as a firefighter, sometimes in her human form and sometimes in her dog form, really it depended on the situation. Everyone on her crew knows about her and keeps her secret, after all just like them she helps save lives every day.

Bryce then went on to tell them the story about the girl she saved before she even knew she was invincible. Then she pulled out a letter and a drawing she received from the girl a couple of months after she started working as a firefighter.

The letter was written by the girl's parents thanking Bryce for saving their daughter, and the picture was of Bryce in her dog form and the little girl happy together, and was made by the little girl for her. Bryce then carefully put them in her jacket pocket and said these things were super important to her.

Alijah surprisingly works for the government as a specialist. It actually happened because of how lazy she was. She didn’t bother trying to hide the fact that she was a pig girl, or that she had powers, so the pig farmer made a call to the government.

They took Alijah, questioned her, and decided to give her a job and all the food she could eat as long as she did missions for them. She ended up doing a lot of missions at night or underground in the dark since she could see in the dark.

Paired with her ability to blast things, her missions were easy and her enemies were terrified of the massive pink woman. Of course that meant traveling around the world and walking around instead of lazing about and rolling in mud all day like she’d prefer to do.

There is one plus side to her job, she has a limitless food budget. So as she travels the world, she gets to fill her belly up with all the delicious food made around the world. She was being really honest when she said that was the only reason she did the job, not because it saved people.

Now twelve people getting magical powers, one was bound to let the power go to her head and become a supervillain. Of course, she’d never admit that to her friends, instead she twisted the truth a bit and told them she owned and ran her own zoo.

Which was true, but there was a lot more to it. You see, the zoo was filled with animals that she created from people. They were people who had betrayed her, angered her, and sometimes simply people she didn’t like, like the guy at the mall who sprayed her with perfume.

Then there was the real purpose of the zoo, which was the secret base underneath it which was the base of the largest criminal organization in the world. They did a bit of everything but specialized in smuggling.

Because of her power, she could smuggle drugs shaped like animals and people turned into animals without anyone ever realizing it, and if somehow they did find out, the plan would be simple, add them to the zoo and keep them quiet forever.

Leon or more actually her halves, Yin and Yang had decided to go off on their own and look for the talismans anyway despite saying they were okay staying the way they were. It was only because Yang thought it was dangerous to leave out there, and Yin wanted to use it for evil deeds.

They basically became treasure hunters, but instead of looking for rare gems and gold, they looked for magical artifacts like the talisman. They’ve found a lot of these artifacts, but only a handful turned out to really be magical and still contain their magical properties.

Between Yang's good nature and pure mindset and Yin’s bad nature and evil mindset, they were able to investigate any magical relic they found and determine how it was created and what the purpose of its creation was.

If an item was for good purposes and Yin couldn't think of any way to use it for evil, they’d gift it to someone who could use it for good, and they found something made for evil purposes, or Yin could think of a way to use it for the evil they destroyed, despite Yin’s protests and begging to keep them.

Other than that they travel around and have a bit of fun in each area they go to. No matter how different their options and world views, and how much they bicker they always have each other's back.

Yang keeps Yin from going pure evil and potentially destroying the world, and Yin keeps people from manipulating Yang and keeps her fed, by stealing all their meals. Then after a long day they keep each other warm in their tiger forms as they watch the night sky.

Once everyone was caught up on what the others had been up to, they began having fun, playing games, eating a ton of food, having some drinks, and most importantly rewatching their favorite show.

Thus ends the story of twelve friends whose shared interest in the Jackie Chan Adventures show led them to acquire the twelve talismans from the show and turn into the living embodiment of those talismans.

None of them would ever turn back, in fact, most of them never even tried as they learned in just one year how amazing their new bodies and powers were. They’d also never find the talisman again, but they knew they were out there, waiting to resurface one day and make a new generation of super-powered animal girls.
