The Truth behind Omi

Chapter 7

Chase P.O.V

Pacing back and forth within my long and dimly lit hallway with the only source of light coming from a few tourches along the side of the wall, I ponder over the new information I have ocbtained.

I couldn't believe it after all those years of searching for that child and not finding him I thought my old master that old fool had just gone senile, and was spiting out what he wanted to happen. But now I see the truth. I can no longer deny it especially after what happened earlier, after I felt it. The feeling of a huge shift coursed through my body twisting my insides making me feel fear for the first time in years. If what my old master said was true then I the prince of darkness will be defeated, and by a mere child. How could that be? My years of training, perfecting and even inventing my own techniques vs the minuscule amount of training by a child who probably wasn't even fully grown yet… How could I lose?

If we were to go into battle I am confident I will come out the victor yet I am not one to tempt fate. I need a plan. I must find out who this 'chosen child' is and discover his weaknesses so when we do fight I know I will have the advantage, If I were to assonate him like must villains seem to do then I would be the coward, I would be the one who was too afraid to challenge a child one on one.

It doesn't help that these vision are interrupting my meditation and sleep so I am getting less and less rest each passing day, causing tiredness to hinder my abilities, senses and state of mind. Even within my waking moments I can not get that woman out of my mind. It's like she is haunting my every moment, and the worst of it all is that I seem to know her some how yet I can't remember who she is or how I know her. All I know for sure is that if I was to see and she was on the side of the xiaolin monks- like I believe she may be- I don't think I could bring myself to harm her. She is important to me… why that is I'm not sure, but I just know she is.

I can also sense that after 1500 years of separation that Dashi will come back to team up with Guan to help train the monks to help my new nemesis in my defeat, and all I have are fools by my side. It is time like these that I hope that young Omi will see that he belongs by my side on the heylin.

Omi P.O.V

Seeing my friend's just stare at me in shock was quite unnerving even after I explained to them all that had happened, and why my appearance had changed their mouths hadn't left the ground. When I first walked up to them they immediately tried to attack me assuming I was some form of foe at the temple to spy on them, it took quite a few words and several bruises later to get them to stop and listen, and now they wouldn't even say anything! I started to fidget with me hands (a habit I have picked up as of late) waiting for my friend's acceptance. Would they hate the new me?

The first to speak was Kimiko. "I-I um ah wow Omi oh my god I can't believe that is really you! You look um how do I put it?…"

"Normal, not a cheese ball, human?" Ah trust Raimundo to be like that.

"Rai why are you always so mean apologise!" And trust Kimiko to stand up for me.

"But Kimiko"

"Now Rai!"

"Fine! Sorry Omi what I mean to say you look good. There are you happy now Kimiko?" It seems Raimundo is just saying that for Kimiko's benefit he probably doesn't mean his apology to me.

"Very"

Then I heard a Texan accent chirp in. "Well partner I can see who wears the trousers in you relationship"

Simultaneously Kimiko and Raimundo turned round to face Clay, both with cherry red faces and wide eyes, and in union they protested. "No it's not like that we're just friends"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at them here I was standing looking completely different, talking about some great prophecy about me that will effect them and the fact that the mother I never new was here at the temple.

"Talk about through one ear and out again"

"Dude you mean through one ear and out the other"

"Same difference Raimundo! And anyway here I am telling you all life changing news and you're arguing over Kimiko's and Raimundo's obvious relationship!" throwing my arms in the end to show just how frustrated I was at my friends. And once again Raimundo is meant to be are leader?

"We are not ugh forget it we are sorry, so how are you feeling about this Omi? This is quite a revelation"

"I'm not really sure Kimiko I feel happy because my past is finally starting to be revealed to me, I'm related Master Monk Guan and my uncle is non other then grand Master Dashi! How can I not be pleased? But then there's the prophecy which is the reason why I grew up not knowing who I was for all these years, and the one I am supposed to defeat is Chase Young! How will I be able to do that if as a team we couldn't do it?"

"Hey little partner your getting as irate as a bull in a rodeo, just calm down and take it easy"

"But Clay I know I have amazing skill, and am a master in Tai Quan Do but even I know I can't do it on my own!"

"And you won't dude. You said it yourself in the prophecy you were fighting with your comrades"

"Yeah Rai and Clay are right there is no need to worry Omi because we will be there every step of the way, and we will be there with your finale battle with Chase ok"

To empathise her point Kimiko put her small hand on my head and ruffles my black hair. I could get used to that.

"Well another bright side is that Raimundo can't make fun of the size of your head anymore"

"Ah no more cheese ball jokes so not fair! Now I need to find new criteria to use against him when he gets overly annoying" Raimundo whined.

I watch as Kimiko once again tells Raimundo off for his insensitivity, and clay is trying to hold Kimiko back from actually hurting Raimundo too badly. I swear this happens a lot you would think that Raimundo would learn by now. To be honest though I wouldn't want Raimundo to change too much he may have his faults (more then most) but he will be the best leader I learned that from both past and future. Raimundo is brave, courageous and would give up everything to ensure the lives of his friends and a better tomorrow. Deep down I wish that I could be more like Raimundo sometimes, but I would never tell him that.

"So little partner when do we meet this long lost mother of yours?"

"Oh she is in the temple with Master Monk Guan discussing something probably catching up on old times."

Raimundo stopped arguing with Kimiko to say. "I still can't believe you are related to him and Dashi"

"What isn't it obvious? Where else do you think my skills would come from I knew that I was a descendent of greatness I just didn't know how closely I was related to them I was" My back straight as I hold my head up in pride emanating my own greatness onto my friends.

"Omi?"

"Yes Kimiko"

"Raimundo and clay have left to the temple to meet your mum when you were gloating and boasting your ego, but now your head isn't as big anymore I'm surprised it can fit your ego"

"What!" err Raimundo better not be telling embarrassing stories about me to my mother! Oh no please don't tell her about my fear of squirrels!

At the thought I sprinted as fast as my small legs could carry me (if only my changed appearance had given me extra height) towards the temple praying I wasn't too late to stop him.

"Hey Omi wait up!" I hear Kimiko shout in the distance.
