E-Mail: there Jackie Chan fans. After watching the cartoon so many times I must say that's one action packed cartoon! It's sad when an awesome program like that runs out of material. Let's face it even years when a program is off the air or there's repeats of the old one. We fan fiction gurus can keep them immortal on sites made just for us to express our creativity. Face it you never know what may come next! Anyway after seeing the repeats, I thought you know everyone except for Valmont and Captain Black has had at least one family member in their presences. Also you can't help wonder what became of everyone after the villains had fallen. I thought if there's one thing that's needed to get things rolling again are some new challenges of the twenty first century kind and then some. What do I mean by that? The old saying that goes "Sometimes a third party intervention is needed." That person would be Valmont's niece Justine Theresa Valmont. She has her own criminal organization in the high technical and magical field. Rather than give all the details of this long story all at once, let's take a look at this new generation of evil by taking a look into Valmont's and Justine's past.

Chapter I: A Journey into the Past.

Our story began thirty two years ago when dark times plagued a small village on the out skirts of London. A small cult of witches and wizards known as "The Magisters" were at war with their rivals "The Khabalans." Over three fourths of the Magisters fled to the safety of a sacred temple while a small rebel group remained behind to fight for what was rightfully theirs. Among them was a young man named Paul Valmont and his wife Lilly. Things began to look hopeless for The Magisters until Paul sacrificed his life to save some fellow helpless rebels. He died instantly beside Lilly from the deadly magical blast. Despite her grief, Lilly's motherly instinct told her someone else needed her more. The coal black haired woman ran as quickly as she could toward her home. Once she arrived there she found her baby daughter safe in her bassinette, but her caretakers were missing. She then heard her warlock Doberman Ruffis barking and scratching at the closet in the hallway. She scooped up her baby and went to the closet. She opened it and out fell the couple whom had been watching the baby.

"The Rings of Cerridwen. They protected her, but a small portion of her soul was taken away." Said the dying man. "You must now take her and run into the forest where they're waiting." Then he passed. The sounds of war drew nearer to the house and Lilly knew there was no time to waste. She fled with Ruffis beside her.

About a quarter of the way from the forest, Lilly was struck from behind by a sneaky Khabalan witch. As she slowly fell, Lilly lost a hold of the bassinette and Ruffis caught it in mid air. As Lilly lied helpless on the ground she screamed out as only a dying mother could do….

"RUN RUFFIS, RUN. SAVE MY BABY!" She then laid dead but Ruffis kept running determined to get the baby to safety.

The witch attempted to zap Ruffis too, but was attacked and killed by two other Dobermans. Ruffis ran with all his speed with the frightened infant until he reached the end of the forest where two guards called him into a portal. Ruffis then jumped into the portal that took him into the safety of the Magister's secret temple. A male Magister took the bassinette and handed it to an elderly couple. The wife took the crying infant and cradled her.

"You're safe now Justine. Your parents are heroes and will be remembered with honor" Said her paternal great grandmother. "You'll be going to stay with your uncle and our associates. They'll protect you as your parents ordered. They won't let you forget who you are, my little gifted grandbaby."

"Ann bring her to me." A clan elder said. Ann and her husband took Justine over to the couch where Justine's maternal great, grandfather lay near dieing of old age. The great grandfather took Justine and smiled at her. He then took a chain from his neck and handed it to the grandfather.

"The second ring. It mustn't be exposed yet my son." Said her dieing great grandfather. "Leave only one with her and burry the other with me. No one else may get it. Only when the last of us go will it be safe for even her to know of it." The grandfather put the second ring on the great grandfather's finger and then he took the chain and put the other ring on it to place around Justine's neck.

The next morning in the United States the Magister's associates and Valmont's host family sat in their living room talking when the thirteen year old Valmont still dressed in his T-shirt and pajama bottoms came in and asked them what was for breakfast. Rather than answer him, his host father asked him to sit down and informed him of his brother and sister in law being killed and his grandfather passing. This devastated Valmont so much he broke into hysterics.

"This can't be happening!" He screamed into his hands. "First my grandmother dies then my grandfather and now my brother and Lilly. NO, NOT MY BROTHER! I want to go home. I need to protect my family! They can't all die on me!" He then ran into his room and cried hysterically. So the husband had to go in and get him calmed down. When he was calm enough, Valmont's host mother informed him that Justine would be coming to stay with them and that by special orders when Valmont himself was of legal age he himself would be her legal guardian. Through the grief Valmont did manage to express some joy that he would have Justine staying with him.

3 Days later:

By now it was safe for Valmont to attend Paul and Lilly's funeral service.
His host family was informed that the Khabalans had been driven out of the country.
Still nothing could be chanced so they attended the service under cover and immediately met with Justine's surviving grandparents and her two surviving great grand parents at the secret temple. Valmont begged his parents to let him come home, but they had to tell him that visiting even for this short time was risky, but that in good time he could start spending summer vacations and eventually could return permanently. It was hard, but Valmont's father brought him Justine wrapped in a neat bundle and he took to her as if she were his own daughter. Still he felt he needed to be with his real family, but under special circumstances he and Justine had to be protected. Valmont's host mother did ask him before they departed through the home portal if he wanted to go shopping with her for extra baby things. Even grief stricken Valmont couldn't say no after looking into his baby niece's unique ocean blue eyes.

Mid afternoon Valmont and his host mother with Justine came home with everything that Justine needed. Their host mother put her bassinette on the couch and left the living room to have a private chat with her husband. Justine was halfway awake from her nap when Valmont picked her up and cradled her in his lap.

"You're going to love it here." He said to her. "Before I ever become your legal guardian, I'm going to show you your entire homeland. Until then I'm going to protect you and show you everything I know. Someday I'm going to get those bleeding Khabalans for what they did to our family and friends! Especially my brother and Lilly your parents! Perhaps we can go into business together and even if we don't you'll always know who you are." Valmont paused and put his finger in Justine's hand. She squeezed it and put it in her mouth. Valmont smiled and continued…

"I understand you're psychic." He continued. "You'll be going to a special school to learn to control your abilities and to protect you from a world that just doesn't understand. Pity we can't go to regular school together. Any bloody bully wouldn't stand a chance with us as a team! I'd kick their butts and leave them for you to send flying or burn them!" Valmont laughed evilly and Justine removed his finger from her mouth and made a soft coo. He picked her up and kissed her cheek.

Meanwhile, in their bedroom the host parents were discussing important matters pertaining to Justine's future. "He's going to be her guardian in five years." The husband said. "I respect our orders, but it still seems unfair to keep anything secret especially from his family."

"I agree but the ring isn't an ordinary ring and must be kept a secret." The wife said. "There's only one more left and no one can be trusted. That's why her great grandfather insisted it be buried with him and not revealed until a certain time. If anyone else found out disaster could follow. Once it's on the wearer's hand as long as he/she is of Pre Druid genetics its permanent. Unless the finger is chopped off or the person dies. As long as no one knows this there won't be any needless murders."

"Yes I understand but why keep the money she was left a secret?" Asked the husband said. Before she could answer the wife hung her head sadly then answered with a tear streaming down her cheek…

"It was his grandparent's will. You know how grandparents sometimes see through their grandchildren better than their own parents? They claimed on several of his previous vacations back home that he had been running with some bad people and they couldn't trust him anymore. Ten grand is quite a bit. I hope they both can establish themselves wisely, but especially her because there is no way she could live a normal life with her abilities!" She then put the ring and a check in the lock box and vowed to put it in a vault at the bank in the morning.

This is the end of chapter one. Now that you've had a look at the past stay tuned for the next chapter when Justine grows up and actually reunites The Dark Hand and Valmont with her own Hench people!
