Without the Memories:

A/N: Hi yall...Chapter three...yay! Thank you all for the kind reviews! They made me so happy that I couldn't wait to get this chapter out to all of you! Well the fight scene you've all been waiting for is here, so let's get to it! A reviewer also asked me that if the Chain of Memories related to Kingdom Hearts…and yes, it is. I apologize for my lack of originality, but I couldn't think of what I could call it, so I went with it. Lol.

Warning: This will eventually have boy on boy action, so if you don't like that, then this fic is not for you. There will also be violence and language, most likely more extreme than that in the show.

Summary: Raimundo loses all of his memories of his time being a Xiaolin monk, all except of those involving Chase Young. He doesn't remember Chase is evil, or the fact that he ever fought him, only that he knows him. Chase sees the opportunity to strengthen the Heylin side and seizes it, taking Raimundo under his wing.

Disclaimer: If I owned this....Chase and Raimundo and Jack would all live in my closet. It would be a little cramped, but they'd have to deal.

Chapter 3: Who are you?

Recap: "Chase Young." Omi said solemnly, avoiding the Wind Dragon's gaze.

That sent Raimundo off the edge, he ran out in the smoke again to the Shen Gong Wu vault before anyone could object. The flames were higher and hotter there and in front of it stood alone figure. "So you had it with you, I should have guessed." It said, walking through the smoke in to Raimundo's vision, it was Chase Young, smirking evilly as always.

Raimundo saw red in more ways than one. He knew he shouldn't have ignored that bad feeling he had. He did and now look at what happened, Kimiko was hurt and the temple was burning down! Raimundo learned that day that he should never ignore his instincts again.


Raimundo growled as Chase just smirked at the boy, the flames flicking all around them. "What did you do?" Raimundo asked, barely containing his anger.

"I was looking for the Chain of Memories in your pathetically guarded vault, but, it turns out it wasn't there." Chase answered calmly, the smirk still apparent on his face. "Besides, shouldn't you be more worried about what I did to young Kimiko than what I did to the temple grounds?"

Raimundo's eyes widened, "You did that?" he asked in disbelief. He remembered how bloody that gauze on Kimiko's leg looked. Chase did that? Raimundo's expression slowly changed from astonished to livid. He growled and launched himself at the Heylin master. "You bastard! You hurt Kimiko!" he shouted, ready to punch that smug grin off of the Warlord's face.

Chase said nothing, only stepped calmly to the side to dodge Raimundo's primitive frontal assault. The Brazilian boy almost lost his balance, coming too close to the flames for his own taste.

"Why so angry, Raimundo?" Chase teased, placing his arms behind his back, leaving a blatant opening. It infuriated Raimundo, "Don't you dare call me by my name you fucking filthy snake!" he yelled, launching himself at Chase once again.

Chase sighed and dodged with ease once again, the warlord stuck his foot out to trip the young wind dragon, sending him close to the surrounding flames again. "Do you wish to know why you cannot hit me?" Chase asked, half teasing, half serious.

"I don't need any advice from you!" Raimundo yelled, rubbing the dirt off of his face and pushing himself off of the ground again.

Chase told him anyway, "You are letting your anger at me control you. You are blinded; the only way that you can hit me is if you get rid of that anger."

No matter how much he wanted to deny it, Raimundo found what Chase had said was right. But he was so mad at the Warlord. The dragon stood and closed his eyes, breathing in deeply and sighing. He then opened his eyes to stare defiantly into the golden eyes of Chase Young.

A smirk tugged at the corner of the Heylin warrior's mouth. "Now that is more like it," he said, "Now, come at me with all you have, Xiaolin warrior!" And with that, Raimundo launched himself at Chase once again, much more focused and surprisingly more determined than before.

Chase allowed himself to smirk and easily caught the young boy's hand as it balled into a fist, determined to hit the Dragon Lord square in the face. Raimundo growled slightly, continuing to glare defiantly into Chase's eyes. Chase said nothing, only pushed the boy out of his face and back down to the ground. Suddenly, Dojo's voice rang out from nowhere. "Raimundo! I don't know where you are but watch out! I can sense a new Shen Gong wu about to reveal itself!"

Raimundo's eyes narrowed; 'A Shen Gong Wu at a time like this?!' he thought, 'Just great' "I'm a bit busy at the moment right now, Dojo, could you and the others handle it?" the Brazilian boy shouted.

"But it's going to appear on the temple grounds!" Dojo yelled back.

"Oh, how very lucky for me." Chase grinned, looking at the Wind Dragon again.

"You're not going to get it!" the Brazilian boy exclaimed, turning around, really to run through the flames to find the newest Shen Gong Wu that just so happened to be on the temple grounds. 'Could these things have any worse timing?!" Raimundo thought, rolling his eyes.

As Raimundo was about to run through the flames, a bright light shone from behind him. The boy whipped around to see a small black ball that could probably fit in his hand just floating in the air. Raimundo's emerald eyes flickered up into Chase's golden ones. A silent confirmation was made, they both ran for it, and of course, touched it at the same time.

Before either warrior could shout out a challenge, a familiar voice rang out over the sound of the roaring flames. "Orb of Tornnami!"

Raimundo glanced up at the sky as a fountain of water shot up into the sky and came raining down over the entire temple grounds. The roaring flames died down with an audible 'pshhh" sound. Raimundo glanced back at Chase, both of them quickly becoming soaked, their hair sticking in their eyes.

"Raimundo, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." Chase smirked, beating Raimundo to the punch.

"I eagerly accept." The brunette boy murmured, his teeth grinding in anger.

Chase smirked, 'I doubt he even knows what this Shen Gong wu is.' He thought.

"A game of hide and go seek. Whoever finds the Wu first gets it, "Chase explained. Then his smirk grew wider as he leaned in a bit closer to Raimundo, "It's so simple that even someone with your intellect could do it."

That was the last straw. The Brazilian boy growled, "You're on you fucking Heylin bastard!"

Chase smirked once again. The boy was just charging into a showdown with no idea the abilities of this certain Shen gong Wu. Luckily, Wuya had warned Chase about the Wu before he had left to destroy the Xiaolin temple. It was called the 'Shadow Doppelganger'. Its powers allowed you to make as many copies of you as you wanted, but as soon as the 'clones' were touched, they disappeared. It was designed more for quick escapes and diversions instead of actual fighting, but Raimundo didn't need to know that just yet. It would give away Chase's advantage.

"I wager the Reversing Mirror." Chase stated calmly

Raimundo paled, he didn't have any Shen Gong Wu on him. Then he realized, he still had the Chain of Memories around his neck. He sighed angrily and snarled, "Then I wager the Chain of Memories."

Chase smirked, 'Just what I was planning'

"Gong Yi Tampai!" they both yelled.

Suddenly, as in every showdown, the scenery changed. The temple grounds grew two times larger than normal, and the small black ball looking wu disappeared.

Dressed in his wudai uniform, Raimundo glared at Chase through the eye slit in the mask. Chase did nothing, only turned and ran off, looking for the Wu. The Dragon of Wind narrowed his eyes and did the same.

Raimundo ran around the larger temple ground, it was no longer burnt and charred from the fire, probably the magic of the Showdown. Trees and bushes and building were everywhere, as far as far as the eye could see. Raimundo looked behind a bush, not really expecting to find anything. But it didn't hurt to look, right? He glanced down, and there sat…the wu?!

The Xiaolin warrior's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. He found the wu…on his first try?! What the hell?! The brunette shrugged and went to pick up the little black ball. But when he touched it, it disappeared! "What the hell?!" the boy exclaimed, his eyes widening.

"The shadow doppelganger creates copies of the wielder, but when you touch them they disappear!" Dojo yelled, magically on the sidelines with the rest of the Xiaolin warriors. Kimiko was now conscious and half laying half sitting on the ground in her wudai uniform

"So I have to find the real one?!" Raimundo exclaimed, turning to his friends.

Dojo nodded, making the emerald eyed boy to groan and smack his forehead with his hand. "Just great!" he shouted at the sky.


Meanwhile, Chase was searching for the wu in places where you'd least expect it, the 'obvious' ones. Chase had way more battle experience than all of the Xiaolin dragons in training combined. He knew where the wu would be. In the cases of doppelgangers, the real body hides in the place where the enemy least expects it. The enemy knows their opponent might be trying to escape when the doppelgangers appear, so the best place to hide is right in front of their face. And while the enemy is distracted on trying to find their opponent, the real body can make its move or escape as planned. Simple; well, at least to Chase it was. He looked in a pot, and grabbed for the black ball inside. Nope, doppelganger. He ran around a temple wall and hopped onto the roof with ease to get a better wide view look at everything. He could at least one in every tree. He took out the Reversing Mirror and activated it. Audible 'poofs' could be heard as the doppelgangers of the wu disappeared. 'Well, not in the trees' Chase thought, ticking off the places he had looked. Pot, trees, bush…where could it be? …The lake! Chase nodded to himself and headed in the direction of one of the lakes, smirking all the way.


Raimundo was getting frustrated now. He'd looked everywhere he could think of. But all he kept finding were those damn doppelgangers!

'Maybe I should think of a strategy, Chase could find the stupid thing at any moment.' The Brazilian thought, taking his chin in hand as he thought.

He thought for a moment then snapped as an idea popped into his head. He'll use the Chain of memories to force false thoughts into chase's head! He'll make Chase run around thinking he hasn't checked the places he's checked! 'That'll buy me a bunch of time!' the brunette thought with a smile. He snickered quietly at his own cunning. "I'll show you intellect, stupid Heylin snake." He smirked. "Now I just have to find you."

He quickly jumped onto the nearest roof just in time to see Chase jumping from building to building then tree to tree, heading for the lake.

'Perfect' the Xiaolin Dragon thought, 'now to put my plan into action.'


Chase could feel eyes gazing in his back. He could also sense someone following him. So the monk had thought of a plan? The boy was probably planning to use the Chain of Memories to force false memories into his head to make Chase run around searching in places the warlord had already looked to buy some time. How simple did the monk think he was? Well if the monk really did go through with his plan. He was in for a surprise.


Raimundo smirked as he stayed in the shadows. Chase had no idea the brunette was following him and it made said brunette smile and chuckle to himself. He felt so cunning, sneaking up on the Heylin master like he was. Finally Chase stopped at the shore of the humungous lake. 'Time to make my move.' Raimundo thought.

As quietly as he could, the Xiaolin dragon stopped and crept out of the tree he was in. He summoned his element in his body and prepared to launch himself at Chase. He shifted his feet and leapt. "Chain of Memories!" He yelled as he stretched out his hand to touch Chase.

Suddenly, a blur of black and green and a shout of, "Reversing mirror!" assaulted the Xiaolin Warrior's senses. And before he knew it, the boy was touching the reversing mirror with his glowing hands. 'Shit!' he thought as his eyes widened. Suddenly a burning fire of pain spread throughout his body, causing the Brazilian boy to scream in pure agony.

Chase smirked as the boy's eyes widened and he screamed out in pain. "I told you boy, you have no chance in defeating the Heylin way." He muttered as Raimundo fell to the ground, unconscious.

Chase frowned as the other Xiaolin monks gasped in surprise and yelled at Raimundo to wake up. The showdown was practically his, why were they still believe that they had a chance? Foolish children. The Heylin Warlord shook his head as he dove into the water of the lake. Swimming quickly, he made it to the center without problem. He glanced up to see a random rock, and on the rock…the Shadow Doppelganger. The dragon warrior heaved himself up on the rock and grabbed the little black ball. A light shined, the temple returned to normal, as normal as it could now that it looked burnt and charred. Raimundo was still unconscious, but Chase could care less about the boy. Raimundo's teammates on the other hand, raced to him. Omi was first to arrive at Raimundo's side, but Kimiko and Clay were close behind.

Chase glanced at the Monks for but a moment before summoning his cats and racing off.

"Raimundo….Raimundo! Please wake up!" Kimiko exclaimed at Clay set her down from his arms and as she began to shake the unconscious boy.

Suddenly, Raimundo's eyes fluttered open, making his friends sigh in relief. But then, the brunette shoved Kimiko away from him without a word.

The other monks gasped in surprise, "What's wrong with ya pard'ner?" Clay asked.

The Dragon of Wind backed up, scuffing up dirt as he whimpered in fear.

"Raimundo…what's wrong?!" Kimiko asked.

"Wh-who….are you?!" Raimundo exclaimed, whimpering and scooting farther away from his fellow monks as they tried to move closer. The other Xiaolin monks gasped in horror as Raimundo whimpered again and scooted even farther away from his friends. "Who…are you?" he meekly asked again, his eyes glancing back and forth between his friends.

Suddenly, Kimiko gasped in realization. "The Chain of Memories!"

To be continued……
