Omi took in deep calming breathes, he needed to get his bearing back if he was going to continue on with this mission. He had come to the future in order to save it from evil but he had just learned that every evil force that had threatened it in the past was gone. If this was true then was really threatening their future? Something else was going on, much more, and he would find out exactly what it is. "Kimiko if what you say is true then I have many questions." He sat back down in his seat, taking one last deep breath. "Please explain to me how exactly we defeated everyone." If he had all the information then perhaps he would be able to figure out if only a little of what was really happening.

Kimiko watched her old friend, taking in his serious appearance and smiled. "He never changes." She smiled, happy to see such a sight. "It wasn't all at once. We defeated each of them over the years one at a time," she held a faraway look in her eyes as she spoke, remembering those times of when she would fight against evil everyday. "The first to go was Wuya. With the combined powers of each of us we were able to create our own puzzle box and sealed her up in it. Now the only way it can be opened is if the four elemental Dragons opens together."

"This way not just anyone will be able to release her if the box is ever found." Dojo commented, very impressed.

"The next to go was Hannibal. We were able to get him back in the Yin-Yang world but he was tough to beat. He nearly trapped us all in there with him but in the end with our combined powers we sent him flying back into his prison. Now that creepy Chi monster is not only guarding the chi bottles but him as well." As she said this Kimiko couldn't help but frown at the memory. "That battle was really hard to win. I had my doubts during it and it almost looked like Hannibal had you trapped in there with him but thanks to Raimundo, he got you out before you were trapped in that world with that evil bean." She added.

"I'll have to remember to thank Raimundo." Omi said, crossing his arms and thinking of his wind teammate. He was wondering where he was at this point in time. The compass had said he was in Rio and from what he has learned Kimiko and him have settled down and have a family. But he had been with the family for a while now but so far he had yet to see him.

Kimiko bit her lower lip and took another glance at the clock. "About that..." she was interrupted by Omi who urged her to continue. "What about Chase Young? You have not mentioned how we defeated him." She wasn't surprised about his eagerness about this subject. Chase Young always held a certain hold over Omi, before and even after he was turned over to the Heylin side by him.

"It took everything we had to defeat Chase. Everyone had come together to stop him, the four of us, Master Monk Guan, and even Master Fung. We all fought together to stop him. The fight wasn't in just one big swoop like the other two. Every time it seemed like we would win Chase would get away. It was only when he attacked us at the temple did we win."

"Chase attacked the temple?" Omi was surprised by this. Chase was never one for a direct attack unless he had a foolproof plan to back him up.

Kimiko nodded, eyes fixated on her now cold cup of tea. "It seems like he understood that we were growing strong enough to defeat him so he decided to bring the fight to us. It was our biggest and dangerous fight ever. It took most of the day and night to beat him and his minion of cat warriors but when the sun rose the next day it was just Chase against the four of us. He fought each of us one on one and for a while there it looked like he would win yet again. But in a last ditch effort we each entered our elemental forms and combined our powers into one final attack," with a snap of her fingers she heated up her cup of tea instantly and grinned at the now hot liquid. "In our elemental forms we somehow made the monster that Chase could transform into come out of his body."

"What do you mean?" Omi had been able to follow her story up until this point. "What are you saying? I thought Chase Young and that monster were one in the same?" he was confused, his head trying to understand what she was saying.

"We were confused at first too but Master Guan explained to us that the lizard beast was like a parasite that had taken hold of Chase's soul and when we attacked we were able to take away its hold on him." She explained to him exactly what she had been told on that day.

"So that means Chase Young is no longer evil?" Omi stood on his feet, excitement shining in his eyes but it died instantly when he saw Kimiko shaking her head.

"Not exactly," she took a sip of her tea, trying to clear her mind and figure out how to explain the rest to the young Water Dragon. "After we defeated the monster Chase Young, the good one thanked us for freeing him of the evil he had succumb to do before disappearing."

"Disappearing?" Omi didn't know if he liked the sound of that.

Once again she nodded, "He turned into a pile of ash after thanking us and was carried off with the wind. Master Guan said that Chase Young had died long ago. After eating the Lao Mang Lone soup he died soon after and only remained alive after was because of the beast that took over. Master Guan explained all of this to us before he left the temple and disappeared himself."

"So they're both finally resting in peace." Dojo didn't look so surprised at hearing this. "It makes sense. Guan had made it his goal in life and even after to bring Chase back to the side of good. With that goal finally fulfilled he had no reason to stick around anymore."

Omi couldn't believe what his friends were saying. None of this seemed real to him. "So both Chase Young and Master Monk Guan are gone?" he felt tears come to his eyes when he saw Kimiko nod, telling him this was true.

"Mommy why is his crying?" Xavier asked when he saw their new soccer ball headed friend start to cry.

"Does he have a tummy ache?" Dario asked next, both boys looking to their mother for the answer.

"He's just upset because he learned some people he knew are no longer here." She tried her best to explain to her two twin boys but there was only so much you could tell a little kid.

"Where did they go?" the two asked, curious blue eyes staring up at her.

"Some place very far away." She answered them.

"Why did they go?" they asked another question, they seemed to be an a very curious mood today and it only made their mother laugh.

"Because it was their time to go," she ruffled both of their hair before looking back up at the clock. "Which reminds me, it's time to put you two done for a nap." She got up from her seat, ignoring the whines her two boys were giving her, and ready to put them both to bed.

"I got it mom." Pedro was up before his mother and grabbed his two younger brothers. Holding them in both arms he brought them out of the room and headed up stairs to put the hyper active boys to bed.

"It looks like you have a pretty good life here," Dojo slithered up next to her, a big bring on his face as he spoke. "A lot more has happened then I originally thought. How old is everyone?" he asked, curious as to just how long and how fast the two had been together.

Kimiko could feel her cheeks heat up at the question. "Pedro is the oldest at sixteen, Reina just turned twelve, and the twins are five."

Dojo popped his head up and down as he did the math. "If I'm doing the math right then that means you and Raimundo will be getting together pretty soon back in our time," he gave her a smirk and wagged his eyebrows as he added in, "I had a feeling you two would eventually hook up." He grinned even more when he saw the blushing face of the Fire Dragon and couldn't help but chuckle. He was going to have a lot of fun with this little piece of information when he got back to the past.

"What's he saying mama?" Reina spoke up next, looking at her mother and the little green Dragon on their table. "Papa is always telling me how you two liked each other from day one."

Dojo continued on laughing when he saw Kimiko's face heat up even more. "That may be true but that doesn't mean they did anything about it," he went up next to the girl and grinned. "You be surprised how much they danced around each other when it was obvious to everyone how much they liked each other."

Kimiko glared at the green Dragon that was telling her daughter how she behaved when she was younger. "Oh shut up," she finished off the rest of her tea, eyes looking back at Omi who had a crestfallen look on his face. "I know you're sad but I promise you that both Chase and Master Guan looked really happy in their final moments." She hoped this would help him. Omi had always been sensitive and she could remember how he was when he watched two warriors he held great respect towards had disappeared right before his very eyes.

Omi looked up at Kimiko. Even though it was her twenty years into the future to him she was still the same girl who was like family to him and he smiled at her for trying to cheer him up. "That is most wonderful to hear." He said with a low sigh and frowned. "But if they have all been defeated then what evil is out there, trying to destroy the world?" a thought processed through his mind and he looked horrorstricken at the thought. "Do not tell me it is Jack Spicer?!" the mere thought that Jack Spicer was actually evil and close to taking over the world scared him senseless. He was used to the goofy and wimpy boy that didn't even know how to buckle his belt without having directions nearby.

Kimiko snorted at this. "No, he gave that up years ago. From what I've heard he's some big CEO of an American company that builds all sort of mechanical products." She told them. It had been a very good day when they learned they would no longer have to deal with Spicer and his lame attempts at trying to take over the world. "He said he was getting tired of getting his butt kicked and decided that he would be better at taking over the world through business. He's actually pretty good." She admit it but Jack Spicer was a better business corrupt big shot then a super villain.

"But if not Jack then who is it?" Omi hated to say it but he was at a lost. He didn't know who was trying to take over and without his future self to tell him he had no way of knowing what was going to happen. "We must return to the temple quickly and prepare ourselves for battle." He suddenly jumped into action, hands ballad into fist as he mentally prepared himself for battle. He jumped onto the table and got in front of his old friend. "Quickly we must hurry if we wish to save the world."

Kimiko sighed, she wasn't surprised by his behavior. "Omi there are a few things you need to know," but even if she wasn't surprised didn't mean she wasn't nervous. There was still a lot that Omi didn't know about their future and that worried her. "First off I'm still not so sure about this evil you keep talking about and even if there is someone out there trying to take over the world, I can't fight them."

Omi looked at her like she had grown to heads. "What do you mean? You are a Xiaolin Warrior and I need you help me."

"Omi, I'm pregnant." Kimiko reminded him, pointing to her large stomach.

"I do not understand." He really didn't. "What does any of that have to do with fighting evil? Are you trying to push a fastball by me?" he crossed his arms, wondering why she was trying to get out of fighting when she was always so eager to fight in the past.

"I think you mean pull a fast one by you," she corrected him and watched as he took out his notepad when he was corrected on his slang. "And I'm saying that I can't fight because I'm pregnant," she reached out and put his hand to her stomach. "I have a baby inside me Omi and if anything happens to me it could hurt the baby." She told him, hoping he finally understood why she was saying she couldn't fight.

Omi was mesmerized by her words, his hand running over her large stomach and gasped when he felt a kick. "It kicked me," he pulled back, surprised by the sudden action but was smiling. "Kimiko this is most amazing. You have a baby inside you that seems even more prepared to go into battle than you."

Kimiko felt her eye twitch, she was trying her hardest not to punch her old friend that just unknowingly insulted her. "So are we expecting a little boy or girl?" Dojo asked, quickly changing the subject before Omi got sent flying again.

Pleased that the subject was changed Kimiko rubbed her bellying, feeling a kick herself. "We don't know. We're leaving it as a surprise."

"I'm hoping for a girl," Reina hugged her mother's tummy that held her little sibling. "It's not easy being the only girl in a house full of boys."

Kimiko giggled, "Trust me sweetie, I understand. But we'll find out after the baby is born." She told her daughter, rubbing her soft black hair before turning back to look at Omi who seemed to be watching them with a wishful look on his face. She'd almost forgotten he had grown up as an orphan so seeing a mother and daughter together like this probably hurts him.

"So where is our old buddy Raimundo?" Dojo asked, pouring a cup of tea for himself. "I think you said something about being a cop." He added, dipping his cookie in the tea.

Reina nodded with a wide smile on her face. "Papa is a detective and a really good one. He can solve any crime and can beat all of the bad guys." She exclaimed with pride, speaking of her father's job was one of her favorite past time.

"Not the kind of job I was expecting for him to have." Dojo commented next to Kimiko while Reina explained all about her father's job to the always eager Omi.

"He won't admit it but he got so use to fighting evil and training to keep the world safe that it just became second nature to him." Kimiko told him, taking one final glance at the clock. "Omi, Dojo there is something you both have to know." She knew she didn't have any more time to waste and if she was going to do this then she needs to do this now. "Raimundo, Clay and I we...we're no longer part of the temple."

"What!?" Omi jumped into action, eyes wide with disbelief and shining with hurt. "What do you mean you are no longer part of the temple?" he hoped this was another form of sarcasm that he didn't understand because if not then his fears have just come true. "But why...? Why are you no longer apart of the temple?" he fell to his feet. This future was not at all what he imagined.

Kimiko sighed, she had a feeling this would happen. "A lot has happened Omi. After we defeated everyone and gathered all the Wu things got tense at the temple. Before any of us knew it we left and haven't been back since."

Omi couldn't believe this. He didn't want to believe this. "But you and Raimundo...you have a family. You both-"
"Rai and I kept in touch after we left. As for you and Clay, neither one of us have been in contact with them and they haven't tried to get in contact with us." She told him, her mind flashing back to that one big fight that made them all leave and never to return. She had believed it was all over, that she would never hear or see from any of her friends at the temple ever again. She had firmly believed that but was proven wrong when she received a letter in the mail addressed to her from Raimundo not even a day after she had returned to Japan.

Omi felt like he just walked into a nightmare. He has been to a future with a terrible ending but somehow this seemed much worst. At least in the future with Jack Spicer ruling his friends were all still together. "How did this happen?" tears were back in his eyes. He had to know what happened so he could save the future. He didn't want to lose his friends.

"Omi..." she didn't know if she had the heart to tell him but she knew if she didn't the situation could turn ugly very fast. With a deep breath she readied herself to tell him everything that caused the breakup of their team, "I'm home!" but she was stopped before she even began. Her heart seemed to stop and she knew that she had run out of time. Now all she could do was stand by and watch and pray that it didn't go as bad as she thought.

"Papa!" Reina ran to the door when she heard her father come home and jumped to his arms.

A deep chuckle vibrated through the house that could belong only to a man. "How are you my little firefly?" Raimundo had grown over the years. He stood tall in his house, his face lost the innocent look belonging to a boy and formed more to fit a man. Short brown hair that was still as spiky as ever and shining green eyes seemed to be the only thing about him that stayed the same. He wore a green dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a white undershirt sticking out, and black dress pants with making shoes. A sliver wedding ring gleamed in the light on his left ring finger.

"I'm good but Papa a friend from the temple where you and mama met is here." Reina told her father as he carried her into the kitchen, looking for his wife.

"A friend?" he had just entered the kitchen and spotted Omi almost immediately. His green eyes grew in size at the sight and his body went completely still. "Reina where are your brothers?" he asked in monotone.

"Pedro took the twins upstairs for their nap." She told her father, noticing his strange behavior and wondered what had caused this.

Raimundo nodded, his eyes never leaving Omi. Not even as he set his daughter down. "Why don't you go help your brother. I'm sure he needs all the help he can with those two." She didn't argue and left the three alone in the kitchen.

When she left silence had taken over the room as Raimundo continued to stare down at Omi and Kimiko watched from the sidelines. Dojo could feel the tension beginning to fill the air and had to keep himself from shaking. Something wasn't right and he didn't like how this sudden reunion was going.

"Raimundo, my friend it is most good to see you," Omi sensed the tension but he had other things to worry about. So with a smile on his face he jumped off the table and walked over to the future version of his friend. "I know you are most likely surprised to see the me of the past but rest assured that I have come here to save the future and I am in need of your help." He gave him a thumbs up and showed off his shiny teeth in a wide grin.

With a raised eye brow Raimundo looked back at his wife, a deep frown forming on his face. "Why is he here?" he all but growled out, pointing at the yellow monk that was confused by this sudden behavior.

Kimiko wasn't that surprised by how he was acting. "It would seem that his future self sent him a message about some evil taking over and he came from the past to help defeat it." She calmly explained, hoping he didn't do anything to drastic and she could properly explain things to Omi.

"Yes, I have come to save our future," Omi exclaimed, looking back up at Raimundo. "Now I have heard all about us defeating the Heylin but I know there is an evil out there. After all it was myself who said so and what reason would I have to lie. I am after all a great Xiaolin Warrior and...hey!" in his little rant he had failed to notice Raimundo lifting him by the back of his robes, his other hand grabbed Dojo and with little effort tossed the two of them outside his house.

"Well that went well." Dojo said, his voice deep with sarcasm. He still had his tea cup in his hand and was drinking his tea out in the front yard, a look of annoyance on his face as he did so.

"Why would Raimundo behave this way?" Omi had not been expecting that. He had been anticipating laughter and jokes not to be thrown out of his friend's home.

"Bad day at work?" Dojo shrugged his shoulders, still sipping his tea as he thought over what could have caused the usual happy-go-lucky Wind Dragon to be in such a bad mood.

Omi frowned and stood back up on his feet. "I do not care. The world is in danger and I must get my friends to help me find this evil." With that said he marched up to the door and knocked, tapping his foot with impatience until it was answered by the still annoyed looking Raimundo. "Now I do not know what has got your underpants all tied up but I am in need of your assistance and I would most appreciate it if you-" the door was slammed in his face before he could even finish.

"Wow, Raimundo must be really mad if he didn't even correct you on the slang." Dojo said, coming up next to Omi and was the one to knock on the door this time. When it was Raimundo who answered again he started his own explanation. "Look I know there is probably some big whole thing we don't know cause we're from the past but the least you can do is-" he too was interrupted by the door being slammed in his face. Shaking in rage Dojo started banging on the door. "That is no way to treat a fifteen-hundred year old Dragon!" he cried, half a mind to transform and burn the door down.

Omi watched the green Dragon and merely shrugged his shoulders. "As they say, when in Rome do as the gladiators do!" and with that said he too joined in and began banging on the door that was so rudely shut in his face. This was continued until finally it was opened but this time instead of Raimundo it was Kimiko who opened the door.

"Guys, I get you're angry but keep it down. We just got the boys to sleep and you have no idea how long it takes to put them back down." She scolded them, arms crossed and making them both look down in shame.

"But Kimiko we just want to know why Raimundo is acting like such a jerk." Omi said, crossing his arms as he looked in inside and say Raimundo was leaning against the doorway, arms crossed as he glared at them from behind his wife.

Kimiko looked back and say the glaring match was going on and sighed. "I know you're both confused and I promise I will explain things."

"There's no point in explaining anything," Raimundo pushed himself off the wall and came behind his wife, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "We left that temple years ago and have no reason to bother ourselves with you or anyone else from that stupid temple." He spoke in such a tone that it made Omi cringe.

He had never heard Raimundo speak in such a way, not even when he betrayed them for Wuya did he ever hear his old friend talk with such hatred for the temple. "Raimundo, Kimiko, please you must tell me what has happened. Why is it that you are no longer part of the temple?"

"We left because of you." Raimundo spat, eyes hardening as he stared at the shocked face of Omi. With a quick flick of his wrist he closed the door shut once more and this time locked the door. Footsteps and hushed voices could be heard from inside but neither we trying to hear what they were saying.

"Because of me..." Omi felt like a giant weight had just been dropped on him and he was inking further and further down. "But what did I do?" he closed his eyes, trying to stop the painful feeling that was racing through his body. "Dojo, what has happened." He didn't understand any of this. What could have happened between him and the others that caused such hatred. Kimiko didn't look bothered by him but it was obvious that Raimundo held nothing but ill-feelings towards the monk.

Dojo didn't know what to say. He was just as lost and confused as his friend but he knew that sticking around here wouldn't help. "I don't know Omi but I promise that we will find out." He quickly transformed and set the crying monk onto his head. "Come on, let's go find Clay." He flew off into the sky, away from Rio and the home of where their old friends resided in. Omi felt the tears still falling from his face as he watched as the house grew smaller and smaller until he could no longer see it and all that was left to view was the ocean. "My friends, what has become of this world?" he curled up on the head of his Dragon friend and sighed. He did not understand what could have happened to cause some anger to be born. He knew that there were often times he and Raimundo did not see eye to eye and would often argue because of this but it has never escalated to such a level. If things were this bad with Raimundo then what will it be like when he finds Clay. He wasn't so sure he could take any more pain and rejection. "What do I do?" he felt himself slip into a dreamless sleep, regretting not bringing his friends with him. Maybe then he wouldn't feel so alone.
