Disclamier: I don't own anything.
1500 year ago, China
It was another day like any other at the Xiaolin temple. Practicing for if the Heylin side ever made a move and attacked. It was the same old routine they practiced every day. Training with Dashi and Guan, eat, do chores, sleep. There are a few rare occasions in which towns would need help and they would go help but even then it was a dull life for Chase Young.
Today was different though, their master was late showing up for training and when he did he had a girl with him.
"I would like to introduce you to my niece, Fei Yen. She will be joining us from now on." The girl bowed to them and walked over to join them. "Now we enact what we had hoped now that Fei Yen has joined us." The master walked over to the garden and motioned for them to step closer.
"We have been waiting for the day we would have all for elemental Xiaolin Dragons. With the Heylin side now having a witch named Wuya you will each need to learn your element well and quickly." The master walked over to Dashi and told them their titles.
"Dashi is the dragon of earth, Guan the dragon of wind, Chase the dragon fire and Fei Yen the dragon of water. You all must learn to work in harmony with your powers if you wish to stop the Heylin side forever. Now please try to trigger your powers in your training today. It may be difficult but we do know you can achieve it." with that said the master left and they began to train.
At first Guan and Dashi teased the girl about her strength as in that time woman didn't have many rights. She should have been doing all the chores for them instead of fighting. They got a water ball to the head as a response.
"This is what I expected to happen the second I found out I was a Xiaolin dragon. You will learn to respect me as your partner! It doesn't mater out gender here, it matters if we can save our world. I thought you would know that." The woman went back to her stretches, She was barley an adult and yet she seemed more mature then the men.
Chase never did pick on her as Guan and Dashi did. He could understand her a bit because he was raised by his mother only. He knew that she could be a strong force and just the fact she was female had nothing to do with her ability to fight.
Chase caught her training at night when she couldn't sleep on night. She was working with her water ability and she managed to fall down a few times before Chase spoke up. "Working hard Fei Yen?"
"Oh Chase I was just...um... watering the flowers?" She said as she walked over to him and sat down. "I am lucky it wasn't Guan that caught that I would never hear the end of it."
"Fei Yen why are you training so late at night?"
The woman took out a fan from her pocket and began to fan herself it was a rather hot summer night. "I am weaker then all of you as I was never trained in marital arts before this. I was training to be a bride, not a fighter. When Uncle came to wish me luck on meeting a potential husband he noticed I was a Xiaolin Dragon and instead of doing that I wound up here."
Chase gave a little nod to let her continue. "I see. How did he not notice when you where young you where a dragon?"
"He thought my brother was the Xiaolin Dragon of water for the longest time but he was off traveling and got killed a bout a month ago. He never suspected a woman would be a Xiaolin Dragon. Anyway I think it is my turn for a question."
Chase was willing to answer whatever she had to ask. "Why don't you pick on me like Dashi and Guan do? I admit Dashi is starting to slow down on his talk about me but you never said a bad word about me."
"I was raised only by my mother. She taught me to respect a woman as my equal. She was a very kind woman and she was very strong to raise a child all on her own as she did."
"You said was...I am sorry I didn't mean too pry."
It was true, his mother had died in an attack in his village by the Heylin. His mother's dying wish was for him to go to the Xiaolin temple as she had been trying to make him go for years before that. He couldn't leave his mother so he didn't go until she had died.
Fei Yan gave him a little pat on the shoulder. "And you father?"
"He ran away the second he heard my mother was pregnant. Your family is better then mine?" He asked trying to make small talk with her.
"Not really. Yes my parents are alive but my mother wanted me to follow in her footsteps of making fans and inheriting her fabric shop. I would be making outfits all day long and that honestly would drive me insane. My dad is cheating on my mother with some mistress but no one really give a damn because he is the one brining home most of the money...Oh sorry did I just cuss?"
"I won't tell the master on you. Do you need some help training then? It would be rude of me not to offer to help you when you are making an effort to improve yourself."
Fei Yen handed him her fan. "My payment for you teaching me. I made that one myself so it may break easily... I don't think I did a great job on it."
From that night on they had training sessions at night. Sometimes they turned into just talking with each other and other times it was all about training. There where odd topics like the talk about hobbies which lead to Chase picking taking care of animals as a hobby and Fei Yen picking making fans.
They had grown to be much closer friends then anyone else on the team would guess and it also showed their skills had improved greatly as well.
Their first Heylin fight came in a small town in which Wuya sent her stone golems to fight. The fight was hard. Guan really couldn't do anything as wind didn't do much against rock. Chase also was rather useless as fire didn't have much effect either leaving Dashi and Fei Yen. They did a good job in the fight. Dashi wound up getting injured which lead to them staying in the town.
"Well Fei Yen is doing her job by tending to him." Guan said as a icicle flew past his head.
"Would you stop talking like that Guan. I am tending to Dashi because unlike you he learned what being a good man is about and deiced that messing with me was a waste of time. Why haven't I frozen you alive yet?" Fei Yen asked as she got a cloth wet and went to clean Dashi's cuts.
When she left the room Guan went over to talk to Chase. "So what do you think of Fei Yen? You seem really tight lipped when it comes to her."
"She reminds me of my mother in a way except she has more of a rebellious attitude. It isn't a bad thing at all. She seems nice enough and she can fight well. Why do you keep picking on her?"
Guan leaned against the wall. "Well I just can't help myself really. She is easy to tease. She isn't bad looking either you know."
Chase sighed. He knew it was there ever since he caught Guan trying to peep on Fei Yen when she was bathing. He was attracted to her. He didn't blame him really she was built nice and all but Chase preferred to live by the rules of the temple and sadly one of them was chastity.
When Dashi was healed the group left for the next attack site. Wuya was actually there. She did he usual of sending the golems out but them she stopped them to make a speech.
"Do you really think you can win? You are all weak compared to my power." It was actually pretty true. The fight had lasted a few hours and everyone was getting pretty exhausted.
"I will give you the chance to run before I destroy this village." Wuya said as Fei Yen was the one to step forward. "I will not let you harm anyone here."
"Oh really? How odd it is the bravest of you all is the young woman?" Fei Yen managed to get Wuya to run off but she was very knocked out after that. That night in the town Dashi was treating Fei Yen as a return favor for her treating him.
When Dashi walked out to see Guan and Chase both looking distressed he turned to Chase. "Chase she wanted to have a word with you."
Chase walked in the room to see the smiling face of the woman. "I just wanted to ask you a favor."
"Of course."
Fei Yen pointed to the bag of her things and Chase got it. "I want you to protect yourself should anything happen. I found an item a months ago in my home that you should give to the master should I not make it back with you."
Chase's eyes went wide. "Why would you say that!"
"I know my future. I have known it for a while now. Please just take my advice and do everything you can to protect yourself. I am sure you mother would want that. Now I have one last favor to ask."
"You know I would do anything-" Chase was cut off as
Fei Yen took Chase's hand and looked up at him crying a bit. "Leave me alone here. Take my bag and knife then get away from here as quickly as you can with Guan and Dashi. Also please never use that time if you discover what it is. Have the master hide it away if he must."
"I can't do that Fei Yen. I can't just leave you here to die! And what about the thing you found?" Fei Yen and fainted after that so Chase had went to think about wah6t she had said and then go to sleep
Chase ignored her pleas for them to leave and that night he understood why she asked him to get them away from there. He awoke to see Fei Yen standing over him with her knife and the item she had found earlier.
He rolled out of bed when she attacked him. He really didn't understand what was going on until he noticed that wasn't her presence. Something was controlling her but he had no idea as to what it was. Whatever it was it had Heylin power. The woman didn't speak and when Chase tried to attack she dodged it.
He didn't want it to end like this at all. He was avoiding her and it seemed for a moment she regained control of herself. "Chase take this and do not let this thing have it! I will end this myself...I am sorry Chase. Truth be told I loved you but I guess that doesn't matter now. I had to tell you though. I will say hi to your mother." With that and the tears running down her face the knife in her hand was now in her chest and she was bleeding to her death.
Sadly even her own sacrifice couldn't kill what had taken her over. After Chase ran to get the other's up the small bean made it's way out of her ear and escaped. His plan was already put in motion now that the girl had died. He did wonder though why she killed herself when he was going to kill her the second he regain control. Perhaps she just gave up.

A/N: I know I am awful, I made an OC. Let me explain before you start throwing tomatoes.
I always found it odd there where only three people in Dashi's group instead of the classic four. And while it isn't really hinted Dashi, Guan, or Chase had elemental power I would like to say they did but chose not to use them in the brief moments of the past we see.
Also you really expect me to believe in the original and altered time line that Hannibal could easily get Chase (Guan) to take the soup over one of them getting the title? Why would you do that when the other person is your teammate and friends from what we saw? I would like to think Hannibal threw in an added fact after the first refused. In this case it was about Fei Yen.
Anyway thanks for reading.
