Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Xiaolin Showdown; then this wouldn't be fanfiction, would it? It's created by Christy Hui, who is a very talented artist.
Finally, something I've really wanted to do for a long time- a Chase fanfiction! There's a reason for my account name. I am a huge, huge fan of Chase Young. I love him. He's awesome and has great eyes. drools
Anyways, Chase will fall in love. Not with Wuya, Wuya's too…old.
Hope you like chapter one, guys!

Chase Young stared outside from the cold and mostly empty lair. He sat on his throne, plotting evil plans for the destruction of the world and his own conquest: world domination. He planned to destroy the world, to then recreate it in his own evil style. The Xiaolin monks had gone into hiding after realizing that they could not defeat him, and he now had time to even enjoy the luxury of the breezy and desolate lair.
Suddenly, he turned. Someone was watching him; he had heard the sound of footsteps. Then he heard giggling. Feminine giggling. Which girl dared enter the cave of the mighty Chase Young and simply laugh? Whoever it was, he would most certainly give that girl a piece of his mind.
"Who is there?" Chase called, slowly and cautiously. He couldn't afford for them to catch him off guard. He paced around his beautiful, shiny golden staircase and looked around. He still couldn't see anyone. "I do not find your antics amusing, young woman. Get out of here before I unleash my power at you- something I would not wish for if I were you."
Chase heard still more giggling. Whoever had been laughing was moving around the room, yet his sight had not caught them yet. There were two possibilities of why that would be. One was that they were invisible; the other was that they were simply too quick for him to see. He refused to accept that the girl was too fast for his eyes, and then, suddenly and quickly, a blurry shape stepped out in front of him from high above.
"Chase Young, is it?" It was a girl, appearing to be around 24. She had beautiful black hair and emerald eyes, shining with a mysterious light. She was thin and wore armor instead of the proper clothing, which would be a dress or a skirt.
"Who are you?" Chase said coldly. He did not fall prey to the foolishness of beauty. "And what do you want from me?"
"Quite the fierce one, are we? I am Sakaya, Dragon of the Spirit. I have traveled all the way from a different galaxy using my great spiritual powers. I was hoping I would get… well, it would have been nice if you'd given me a warmer reception," the girl said, smiling slyly. "As for what I want from you… I see before me the truth about you, Chase. You traded your soul, and all the good in you, for a potion that gives you immortality. But this potion you did not complete. You did not get that dragon, the green gecko who can but fly. You will not have true immortality. Instead, you will slowly die."
"I can also tell when someone is avoiding a question," Chase said. "How do you know so much about me? And also… why are you here at all?"
"Why shouldn't I be here? I know about you from my land. They are saying that you have become strong enough to rule the world and go even past that. Far beyond your palace and into the rest of the universe you will reign. Our people have sent me as messenger for you to stop it, Chase Young. We can't let our beautiful planet fall into your hands, and we will fight you if we must. But we don't want to fight. Thousands will die, and you are too strong. So… I am here to hold peace with you. Will you accept this?" Sakaya said, with a serious look on her pretty face. She knew that she had no more time to be giggling and gawking at Chase's metal armor and his funny eyes. Her mission was to have peace with Chase before a war even started.
"I have no use of a weak planet of yours. You may go now," Chase said, irritated. "Just get out and leave me. Don't come back."
"Should the need arise, I will come back."
"When?" Chase asked, alarmed.
"When our paths cross again. I'm sure it will," Sakaya smiled. Chase Young may have seemed ruthless and vicious, but she could see from his eyes that he really was a good person. Chase probably really didn't care about her planet, but if he were as short-tempered and angry as some legends had told of him to be, he would have immediately destroyed her and the planet. Sakaya knew the risks of coming to Chase's palace. If he attacked, he only advantage she had over him would be speed. But she knew that he could also accelerate in speed, too.
"All right," Chase said with an unpleasant smile. At least Sakaya was going to be gone.
"Farewell," Sakaya said to Chase. She purposely dropped a small paper from her pocket, and then ran through Chase's doors back home with her lightning speed.
Chase examined the area where she had been, knowing that she could have left some kind of particle around his palace. He could not have that.
He saw the paper she had dropped before she left. "What is this?" He wondered. He was afraid to open it, but he also needed to know. In the end his curiosity prevailed. He was not known as the great lord Chase Young by being fearful, was he?
He opened the paper and found a small orb. "Why…?"
He took the orb to his special room with all his mysterious objects, and placed it there. Either she was a fool and left him something of no use, or there was something powerful behind that orb. Then he looked at the writing inscripted in the paper.
Chase, use this only when you need it. It has a deadly power that must not be unleashed until the evil inside you has gone away. It reveals what is in your soul; therefore it is black. When you change and come instead to the side of good, then that is when you can use the power of it. Now, it is too dangerous for you to control. When you need it, simply break it and its power will be revealed.
-Sakaya
"She wants me to turn into a good person, eh? I couldn't if I tried," Chase said. Then he suddenly felt a great feeling of regret. He had been a kind person, a warrior who fought to help people instead of harm. He thought of his true form, the hideous dragon that he would turn into. He didn't want to have that form or to die slowly. But he was too late. He didn't have that dragon to complete his potion.
He opened up a secret tunnel behind his large throne, and slipped away into his bedroom. Chase tried to sleep, looking at the stars at night. And somehow, those strange stars reminded him of someone he had seen earlier that day. Sakaya, the Dragon of Spirit was going home to one of those stars. He had this strange feeling, one he had never felt before in his chest. Did he actually… no. It was impossible. It could never happen to him. He was cold and cruel. He could never love.
Suddenly, he thought of the strange orb. He was restless, and so walked into the mysterious objects room, and held it up. He thought it was the same as before, at first glance. But inside the orb of black, he was beginning to see a speck of white forming along the sides, looming larger and larger by tiny bits.
No, Chase said,
faltering in his step away from the orb, This cannot be possible.
I am Chase Young, lord of Darkness. How can my heart… become good
at all?How can I love?
He walked back to his room, looking at the stars. They seemed to smile at him, as though they were giggling at him.
He went to sleep after a long worry about what was happening to him.

Did you guys like it…? It seemed kind of weird to me. I don't think this whole love thing can happen so fast, but as you guys know, you can't control love. Love can be a first sight thing, or you can realize it after years of time.
