At a stone citadel above the cliffs, Chase Young meditated in the mid-air. He was in his artistic throne room surrounded by floating relaxation candles that showed bright fire. Wuya was resting her head nearby a fountain made out of clean marble. The jungle cats were near both of them sleeping on the floor.
Everything was peaceful until Chase opened one his eyes. The glare it gave made everyone uneasy. The fire in the circle of candles came to life and made a fiery inferno around Chase. Only after the jungle cats ran away in fright did the soulless warrior lowered down to the ground and called off the flames with a wave of his hand.
Wuya was scared to see that Chase still looked tense. Usually, he would take things calmly, but this must be something huge. "Chase? What's wrong?"
"I have sensed a great break in the balance of the universe," he replied to the Heylin witch. "It seems that a new evil has arrived and it has already killed the Xiaolin warriors… and Spicer."
Wuya grinned to herself from his last words. For years, the Xiaolins have foiled the plans of the Heylin and now they're dead. Plus, she was glad to have the world rid of Jack, that idiotic buffoon. She felt happy but she decided to hold her thoughts seeing Chase's solemn look in his face. "And why is that bad?"
"You have no idea," he muttered loudly at her. "If something is able to get rid of the monks so easily, this new force may be a threat to the rest of us. And I also feel that this trouble was caused by Hannibal Bean."
If there was one thing Wuya couldn't figure out, it was why he hated the bean. But she didn't think about this and focused on the new evil Chase was talking about. From hearing what Chase said, she knew he was right. If it could get rid of the monks, then what were her changes of world domination, especially with no magic powers?
Before she could think of anything else, a tentacle arose from the stone floor in front of Chase and produced a familiar giant eyeball. The eyeball was one of Chase's ways of seeing what was going on that she discovered at first when the monks were looking for the Bird of Paradise. Wuya sprinted to Chase's side as the eyeball began to have an image.
Chase was right about another thing. Hannibal was responsible for this. He was still talking to the new evil, General Grievous, while the Ying-Ying Bird still roosted on a tree branch with Hannibal on top of it. Chase and Wuya stared at the eyeball and saw what was going between the two.
"Fine. You could go hunt down Chase," the bean paused before continuing, "but I get to finish him off. Deal?"
The cyborg military warlord thought about it for a minute before giving out a reply, "No."
"What do you mean no?" Hannibal questioned getting a little ticked off.
"I will fight him and I will crush him," Grievous answered, making no change of inflection.
Hannibal wasn't stupid. Like Chase, he knew that if he messed with the general, he might as well end up dead just like the Xiaolin warriors. "Alright. But in the end, I will take all that remains, especially Chase's demise." And within a second, he tapped the Ying-Ying bird with the tips of his tentacle arms and it flew off with him while Grievous looked at the bag of shen-gong-wu he now possessed.
When Chase and Wuya moved their eyes from the sight of the eyeball, Wuya was the first to comment. "That's it? This new evil is nothing but a bucket of bolts!" Wuya argued at Chase. Chase turned his back at her when he glanced at the eyeball for one last time. He found one of Grievous' reptilian amber-colored eyes and felt a strong and intimidating feeling from it. "I will have to disagree," he said to Wuya from her statement.
The eyeball showed Grievous dashing away from sight before the images inside it were reduced into a fog and disappeared. Wuya just stared at Chase while the Heylin warrior had two questions on his mind: "What will happen when he and this new evil fight each other?" and "Who else felt his presence?".
