the next day Kimiko arrived in New York City where Xiaolin Monks had searched for the Serpents Tail and Omi making a new friend with Jermaine which helped him improve his fail slang a little bit Kimiko had found a spot in between the two buildings to change clothes looking around making sure that there was nobody there the Xiaolin Dragon Of Fire sprints across the street quickly to the spot in between the two buildings where she takes off her pink heart shape back pack pulling out her next next of clothes placing them on the solid ground there she changed her hairstyle this time having her black hair in long multiple braids covering behind her ears and the front goes into her bag to pull out her yellow beads attaching them onto her long braids there she dyes her long braids brown putting on her purple hat with a black ring going around the bottom takes off her yellow long sleeved jacket also removing her two green heart shape ear piercings taking off her pink short mini skirt along with her purple shoes lastly taking off her green medium length sock with the green heart shapes puts on her black short sleeved shirt revealing her midriff tan pants with a purple belt with a yellow circle tan sneakers with purple and a tan sole also adding the yellow arm band on her right arm & a neck band around her neck .

Kimiko : New York City sure brings back memories of me , Omi , Chas & Raimundo searching for the Serpents Tail along with getting seperated from Oimi and me using the Falcons eye to see a guy picking his nose while sitting at his computer

walking around the city now she began to clear her mind of all the negative thoughts that was running through her mind however it was difficult to do so with all of the cars honking their horns at other drivers along some yelling and screaming forcing her to cover her ears .

Kimiko : man where can i get some piece and quiet to clear my mind at ?

Jermaine : well this is a surprise

Kimiko : that voice sounds familiar

Jermaine : you're the last person that i would expect to see walking the streets of N.Y.C

looking up to see Jermaine walking down the street spinning a orange basketball with his right hand wearing his red , white and blue number seven jersey with red trousers white sneakers with blue and a white sole a small afro small black eyes and thick eyebrows stops spinning the orange basketball holding it underneath his right arm .

Jermaine : hey Kimiko what's up ?

Kimiko : nothing much i'm just on a journey to clear mind of my doubts as Xiaolin Apprentice

Jermaine : so that's what's up ?

Kimiko : yep

Jermaine : so how is my homie Omi doing ?

Kimiko : he's fine just being his usual self now that he is no longer brainwashed to join the Heylin Side

Jermaine : yeah that's what's up

Kimiko : i decided to leave the temple just so that i can go on this journey

Jermaine : i just came from playing a 3 on 2 match where i felt MJ in his prime when he was on the Bulls

Kimiko : well you're a skilled basketball player and Wudai Warrior after all

Jermaine : let's go

Kimiko : sure

so Jermaine & Kimiko walk down the street past the basketball court where Jermaine plays basketball at Chase Young now in New York City as well continued to follow the two until they reached the park where they sat down on a brown bench Kimiko looked up at the clear blue sky hoping to finally erase her doubts that was when Chase Young appeared before them .

Chase Young : hello Dragon Of Fire

Kimiko : Chase

Jermaine : what the hell are you doing here in New York City ?

Chase Young : i'm here for Kimiko

Jermaine : no way i won't let you even place one finger on her

he began running toward him and Chase grabs him by his arm flinging him across the street into a garbage can that by a hot dog stand he began to walk slowly toward her she was walking backwards away from the former Xiaolin Monk .

Kimiko : stay away from me i'm not joining the Heylin Side

Chase Young : you will join

Kimiko : no ! Wudai Mars Fire !

she throws fireballs at him however he dodged all of her fireballs with his enchained speed grabs Kimiko's arms looking directly into her eyes as she struggled to break free from his grasp to deliver a message for her to listen to .

Chase Young : if you don't join the Heylin Side i will kill everybody that you know & love

Kimiko : i swear if you lay on finger on my father you'll pay

Chase Young : you stand in my way

releasing his grip on her he leaves after leaving Kimiko helps Jermaine out of the garbage can there she explains that she has to leave New York in order to prevent her father from getting injured by Chase so Jermaine called for yellow taxi goes into his wallet paying the cab driver to take them to the airport where the cab driver drives through six of the green lights on the traffic lights making a left turn and three right turns before making a final turn arriving at the airport Kimiko exits the cab along with Jermaine there she says goodbye to him also giving him a hug and enters the airport where the plane heading for Tokyo , Japan was now there the Xiaolin Dragon Of Fire followed a group of people boarding the plane as the last passenger the planes takes she was now leaving New York on her way to her hometown hoping that she can save her father in time .
