Hey guys! Hope you liked it so far. Just a little PSA to you guys that my updates aren't exactly constant. Ever. I admit I get distracted easily from my work but I'll do my best to keep these updates coming. Hope you'll enjoy the story!
Please Read and Review!
Thanks!
"Man, I know she's new in town and all but seriously, how hard can it be to find a girl with a Shen Gong Wu?" Raimundo Pedrosa complained for about the thirtieth time that evening. The Xiaolin monks had been searching for this girl all day and have had zero luck the entire time.
"I told you, it's inactive so it's impossible to track it. All we can do is find the girl and see what Shen Gong Wu see has on her and try and get it away from her before it activates." Dojo says from atop Clay's hat. The green dragon had been on the lookout since they landed, just in case the Wu decided to activate all of a sudden.
"Yeah Rai, just be patient. We'll find her sooner or later."
"Easy for you to say, Kimiko. You've been playing Goo Zombies 4 for over an hour now." The Brazilian boy went unheard though as Kimiko went back to being engrossed in her game as Omi observed. "And we've lost them again. Looks like me and you are the only ones looking Clay."
"Excuse me."
"Oops, sorry Dojo." The dragon huffed in mild annoyance and the search for this mystery girl continued.
Jack's P.O.V
I touched down in the park and immediately started running around like a mad man. I had to find Reily before those Xiaolin losers did. If I knew Reily as much as I hope I do then she's always been a creature of habit. I hoped Chase had his information right, if be was fucking with me... no, no, no, that is not something to think about right now. I have to find... wait a second. Is that? Blue jacket, green hood. Is it really? Time to see if this wasn't just a wild goose chase.
"Reily!" I called out to her. She turned around and almost instantly I saw brown eyes light up. I smiled wide, looks like Chase was right. "Reily! It really is you!"
"Jack!" She ran right over to me and nearly tackled me to the ground in a neat crushing hug. "I can't believe it! It's really you Jack!" She pulled back and grinned. "How are you! I haven't seen you in so long! I missed you so much." She paused and looked me over. "Wow you've changed a lot! Look how tall you are now! And I see your wardrobe changed too. I like the whole goth punk look, it suits you." I rolled my eyes, still the same motor mouth I remember.
"Hello to you too Reily. I can't believe your back, what made you move this time?"
"Oh! Dad got another promotion and now he can work from home so he decided to move us back here! He said he missed the scenery, didn't like the city too much." This was great, I can't believe she's back home.
"So, you back home for good?" She nodded.
"Yup! No more moving for this girl!" She bounced on her heels and one again nearly knocked me to the ground with another hug. "I really missed you Jack. It wasn't the same without you there." I hugged her back and ruffled her long auburn hair. This girl, always clingy. Some things never change.
"It was the same on my end. I had no one to talk to anymore. Don't even get me started on how boring everything seemed without you around." I heard her laugh and she lightly nudged me in the stomach.
"Well then we'll just have to fix that won't we? I've been here a whole month and can't find a single fun thing to do. It's like all the fun had drained away! Got any ideas in that big head of yours, Jackie?" I nearly lost it at the old nickname, the only other person in the world that's allowed to call me that is my mother.
"I have a few ideas, but you'll have to keep up with me if you want to do anything!" In a second I detached from her grasp and started gunning it in the direction of my house. "Let's see if you can still keep up Reily!" I saw the look of shock turn into one of determination.
"Oh you are so on! You'll be eating my dust Spicer!" She caught up easily and soon we were in a race to the finish line, a.k.a. my house. This all seemed so surreal, like a twisted dream that I really didn't want to wake up from, but it wasn't a dream. Reily was here, she was back for good. I finally got my best friend back!
*Third Person P.O.V*
Not far from where the evil boy genius and the girl they had been looking for stood, the Xiaolin monks watched in disappointment. Jack Spicer had gotten to their target first.
"See, this is what I was taking about, I knew we should've just kept flying until we found her." Raimundo was fuming, this whole thing could've been avoided had the group listen to him.
"Now, now Rai, no need to get mad. We may have lost a Wu but by the looks of it, I don't think we would've gotten it anyway." The monks had witness the whole scene between the two and it was more than obvious the two knew each other very well. Even if the monks had gotten to girl first there was a very little chance the girl would have even listened to them in the first place.
Raimundo sighed. Clay was right, there really didn't seem like a whole lot they could do. Even if they had gotten a chance to try and talk to her the second Spicer showed up it would've been all over. She obviously knew Spicer, there was no doubt about that. She probably would've completely ignored them as soon as Spicer came into the scene.
"Whatever, let's just go back to the temple and tell Master Fung we just lost a Shen Gong Wu." The Brazilian started the wall back to the temple with the other three monks in tow. Hopefully they hadn't just lost a powerful Wu that could hurt them in the future.
Unknown to both the monks and Jack Spicer, Chase Young stood a top a hill in the distance. He had watched the whole scene before him unfold and was very pleased with the results. His most loyal warrior, Diol, stood by his side in confusion.
"Pardon my interruption Master but I am confused. What does that girl have that you require?"
Chase simply smiled and patted the panther warrior's head.
"That's the thing Diol, she doesn't have anything I need." The pantry gave his master a confused look.
"Then why did you have Spicer collect her like that? If she had nothing you require why have her collected at all?"
"She may not have what I need yet, but she will become a very valuable ally soon enough. Be patient Diol, for now though, I would like for you to go back and tell the others to hide for a while. I'll be inviting our new guest over for a visit soon and I would rather not frighten her before I get the chance speak to her." The panther nodded and got up.
"I shall go and pass on the orders now."
With that, the panther disappeared, leaving his master atop the hill to watch as monks left in disappointment and the pair ran in the direction of Spicer's home.
"Yes, in due time the girl will become a very valuable ally to the Haylin. Maybe after she's gained her potential the Haylin will have an even better advantage than before."
