Well a lot of people has asked me to carry on with "I won?" and this is the sequel to it. I hope it is okay.
I don't own XS or any characters from the show. I own Gwendolyn Spicer though :D
Jack flew just shy of 500 feet off the ground. His eyes watered from the cold breeze as flew as fast as he could home. Or so he told himself that was why his eyes were watering. He really had enough of everything. Wuya, the Monks, Chase, the bullying... Enough was enough.
"Well, I'm out of the conflict, so I can't do much now..."
"What did you say, master?" Oh that's right. He had RJ with him.
"Nothing, RJ. Let's just get home. I've had enough."
RoboJack stayed silent, to which Jack was thankful for, for the rest of the journey. Jack couldn't wait to get home and just collapse onto his bed and sleep. Too much stress for one person to handle.
The trip home was short, as both Jack and RJ dropped to the ground on the Spicer driveway.
"Home sweet home..." Jack said with a sad tone. Home sweet home? More like Hell lonely hell. No one but him at home, and that was not counting the robots. He was friendless, and his parents never came home. Don't get him wrong, his parents loved him, thought the world of him. But they were NEVER home. It was either Jack and his Granny, or Jack all on his tod. Speaking of that crazy old bat, she maybe 92 but she still had a wicked evil streak to her. Smiling at the thought of Granny, he decided he'd call her before retiring to bed.
"Would you like me to deactivate, master?" Said his voice but more metallic, after they had entered the Spicer Mansion.
"Just go in sleep mode for now, RJ, however I will still modify your A.I chip. Can't have you disobeying me and then trying to take over my life again." Jack said tiredly. RJ nodded.
"Yes, Master. My apologise for my past actions." After that was said Jack's robot-counterpart ventured into Jack's lair and a quiet whirring noise appeared then stopped, signifying RJ entering sleep mode.
Jack grinned to himself as he hung up his helipack and coat, then jogging to grab the phone.
Sitting on the sofa, Jack dialled his Grandmother's number and waited for her to pick up as he placed the phone to his ear.
"Hello? Gwendolyn Spicer, World's annoying Granny and Evil Extraordinaire! How may I help you?"
Jack laughed, she always answered the phone like that. Never stopped to amuse him.
"Jack? Fantastic that this old crone can still make you laugh. What's up chickadee?"
"Well, I needed that laugh Granny, I've had a bad day." A small sigh entered his ear.
"What happened? Tell me all about it."
Jack relayed the day back to her, piece by piece. The conversation ended with Granny saying that it was Jack's decision and she will be supportive. Jack smiled to himself. Gwendolyn was always there for Jack, even when her son wasn't. Jack remembered that she was irked that her son was never there for his son. But like Jack, never believed that Jack wasn't loved by his parents. She knew they did but still, they should be with Jack, watching him grow into a strapping young man, with gentlemen throwing themselves at him. Oh she knew about Jack being gay before he did. Jack remembered how embarrassing that was coming out to his Granny. Not once did she stop with the gay jokes but even Jack knew that she meant no harm with them, he always took them with a pinch of salt.
"So what are you going to do now? You even turned your back on Chase. Now that's a man, I would open my legs for..." A satisfied hum entered the earpiece causing Jack to go 'ewwwww' with a laugh.
"Hands off, he's mine first! Besides didn't you shut up shop when Gramps couldn't get it up anymore?" A snicker came from the genius' mouth and a gasp came back as a reply.
"You cheeky shit! Bet you he'd want a woman with experience then a fumbling virgin unlike yourself." Jack cackled.
"At least Chase can claim me as his own. I think he'd like something that was untouched." A giggle came from Gwendolyn as her grandson spoke with a flirty tone.
"Oh Jack, I taught you well. Definitely my Grandson! Well, Snowflake , it's time for Ol' Granny Spicer to get her dinner. Be a good- whoops, bad boy! Blasphemy, even for me!"
"Hahahaha, must be y'age!" Jack giggled.
"Wait who are you?" Granny laughed, "Love you my little evil genius. Whatever you decide, I'll make sure to support you."
"Even if, and this is just an example, if I turn good?" Jack knew the answer.
"My Jackie, wearing sweaters? Please don't." A laugh resounded through the speaker. " Yes, Jack, even if you turn good. You are my grandson, I will be here for you always...well until I conk out at least."
Jack smiled warmly.
"Thanks Granny, I'll let you know if I decided anything. You'd be the first to know."
"That's my boy. Love you, bye!"
"Bye Granny!"
Click. Jack sighed as the phone call ended. He knew his Granny wouldn't be here much longer, he couldn't keep depending on her. Jack pulled himself up and walked over to place the phone where he found it.
What to do...?
Jack didn't know. He was set on taking the world in his hands, but it didn't seem worth it now. No Chase to impress, no monks to annoy, no Wuya to piss off. Not even any new wu-
"Aw shit! I left them there."Jack ran a hand through his hair. "Doesn't matter anyway. I'm not gonna use them."
Just as Jack was about to move, a dark and creep feeling went up his spine.
"Wh-who's there?" Jack stuttered in fright.
"Ah Jackie-boy. My favourite boy genius." Came a southern accent that was too evil to be Clay.
"Bean." Jack stated, turning to eye the legume in his lounge, sitting in his father's arm chair.
"Who else would it be? Saw ya little escapade. Had enough of everything. I knew it wouldn't be long before you would snap, my boy. Even Chase knew this." Jack closed his eyes and breathed slowly.
"If this is a way of getting me back, well, forget it. I don't want to come back." Jack spoke calmly but his voice was stern.
"No need to be talkin' to me with animosity, Jack. I'm not here to gloat, nor to be cruel and/or violent. You have my word." This got Jack's attention. Bean wasn't here on a whim either, that only left one reason over to express.
"You came for my Wu, didn't you." It was a statement not a question.
"Not even that, my boy." Jack found himself that he was intrigued, and he hated it. What did Bean want?
"What then? I don't have anything in particular, that you may need or want, other than the Wu."
"Ah, that's not what my sources tell me." A yellow toothy grin, disgusted Jack, as it appeared.
"Then what?" Jack voiced.
"The Ruby of Destiny."
"What? The only ruby I know of that would be of use to you is the Ruby of Ramses. But Wuya had that last not me." Jack was confused. There's only one Wu that was a Ruby.
"No Jack, the Ruby of Destiny is not a Wu. It is a gem of untold power but is neutral to keep the balance between sides. It can magnify either Xiaolin or Heylin magic should it be found and be used. But it can only be used if they solve a riddle." Jack shook his head.
"I don't understand...riddle? What riddle?" Jack was beginning to panic. What did Bean want with him? Bean chuckled darkly at the albino's discomfort.
"When black rests on white,
It will clash out of sheer spite,
White protecting a glittering red,
Moonlight clashes with a sunset,
To cherish a gem, to make it shine in the light ,
Secrets to be revealed, lie with a Spice."
"What?"
