The Xiaolin temple, a home to young monks who train to become Xiaolin dragons and save the world from the evils of the Heylin. But five monks are faced with a difficult situation, one that involves a drastic decision. The question is, will it be the right one?
"Mail Day!" A small little dragon announced as he came in carrying a large bag of mail. Rumbling is heard throughout the entire temple as a hoard of monks race to retrieve their mail. The poor dragon couldn't get out way in time before he was trampled on.
"Thanks Dojo! Ah can't wait to see what ma and pa sent me from back home!" Clay cheered as he and the others rummage for their mail.
"Great to hear. Now while you guys look for your stuff, I'm going to get some ice for my back" the poor dragon said as he slithered away.
"Aww, my mom sent me a cute new outfit!" Ashley gushed as she held the outfit.
"Looks like Jasper actually sent me something" Jade said as she began to open her package. As she peeked inside, a blush started to rise to her cheeks. All the monks were enjoying the mail they've received, except for one as he stared widely at a letter he was holding.
"Something wrong Shadow?" Baron asked his brother.
"N-nothing. It's just a letter from mama and pere. I'll let you guys read it later" Shadow reassured his siblings as he hid the letter. Mystica snuck up behind him and snatched the letter.
"Come on it can't be that bad" She said as she started reading the letter. Her sly smirk soon turned to a look of disbelief. Baron, Hilda, and Daisy all looked worried about her, as did a certain Spaniard.
"Mi amor, is something wrong?" he asked as he ran up to her. Mystica quickly hid the letter in her pocket before facing him.
"Everything's fine Rico! No need to worry!" Mystica told him as she nervously laughed. Rico didn't seem convinced.
"You sure? You know you can tell me right?" Rico assured as he held her.
"I know. I promise you nothing is wrong" she told him as she held him back. Truth was that she had an uneasy feeling circling around her.
"Ok Shadow what's up? You and Mystica have been acting weird ever since you guys read that letter this morning" Daisy demanded from her brother as all five siblings were in Shadow's room. Shadow had to admit, she wasn't wrong, but how could he tell them? He took in a heavily sigh before he began.
"Mama, pere, and Mason went into hiding. Mama says someone from her past is after all of us. She says we need to be more alert now," he explained.
"That's it? That was the huge deal! Um Shadow, if you haven't known already, we possess elements for Pete's sake! What makes you think we can't take this guy?" Daisy asked her brother in disbelief.
"That's not the point Daisy. You and I both know Mama's a fighter. She wasn't even the one who wrote us the letter, Abuelo did. She asked him to send the message. You know if mama doesn't send anything by herself it's bad news!" Shadow countered her.
"Now let's just calm down. We need to think about this clearly so no more arguing. Now Shadow, what did Abuelo say?" Hilda asked him.
"He said to go into hiding. Just go and don't tell anyone" Shadow told them.
"What?! Shadow, what if they still don't know where we are? You can't just expect us to just up and leave! What about everyone here? We're technically part of a large troop." Mystica tried to argue.
"Myst you saw the letter. You know we have to do what mama and Abuelo say." Shadow firmly told her.
"Oh yeah? And what about Kimiko? You think she'll understand if you just up and left her all alone?" Mystica asked. Both of them stared each other down, refusing to back down.
"How about this?" Baron asked as he stepped in between them "We stay at the temple for a while longer to think about this. If anything happens where he does find us or it gets worse, we leave. Deal?" The others looked around at each other, not knowing what to do at this point besides Baron's suggestion.
"Fine, but one thing and we leave." Shadow agreed as the others nodded in unison. Soon they separated into their rooms to sleep peacefully, if they could.
