Chapter 10

Feeling the air hit her face again Kimiko became somewhat relived about her capture because she felt that in her heart she was near to an exit of some kind, thinking that she was going to get out of here easy, but first she needed to cut the ropes that was holding her.

She couldn't think about freedom just yet because her full focus was on the ropes around her hands, she tried to loosen the knots every now and then, but also tried to summon her fire, but it was useless. She could feel that something was neutralizing her magic and chi flow.

It took her awhile to find a corner that had the potential of cutting her ropes. She at first had to hop towards the corner to start the possible process of releasing her.

She's been rubbing her hands near an old altar for awhile; its edges were rigid and almost sharp like.

So far she couldn't tell how far her work was or tell if what she was doing was even working. Then the next thing you know she hears footsteps approaching.

Being quite strange to her, considering that Hannibal had no legs, who else was here?

Coming around the corner Kimiko stops her work and waited to see the face.

To her shock it was, "Wuya?"

The Rescue Team in Progress

Still flying through the air was everyone being quiet, all except Riamundo's murmuring in the back of everyone.

They were finally close to Chase's palace and Riamundo was looking at everyone who was focused onto getting to Kimiko before midnight, so he hisses at Chase in anger.

Riamundo finally asks, out of being inpatient, "Alright, so what's this about Chase?"

Chase sighs in irritation, "Well young monk, let me put it this way, if it will stop your tongue" he stares at Riamundo, "Kimiko is in a line that might lead her to death"

Riamundo wanted to kill the man, "Did you put her in that line Chase!"

Chase rolled his eyes and turns around to face the horizon again. Being ignored by Chase so easily, Riamundo became mad and was ready to jump him, but his friends quickly stops him.

Holding his shoulders Clay says, "Whoa there partner, we haven't got the story yet"

Yelling, Riamindo says, "Exactly dude! We don't even know what the hell is going on"

Omi quickly steps in front of him, "I'm sorry my friend but Riamundo is right, we must know knowledge before we do anything" Omi turns to face Chase's back, "Chase Young just what is this event really about?"

Giving everyone a side glance Chase firmly calls, "Worm" Jack quickly looks at Chase in a panic and hears him say, "Explain"

"Oh, uh, well you guys you see" Jack began to fiddle with his hands, "This event, of what you know as the Millennium Midnight Maiden is really a sacrifice to get a possible wish from the Heylin gods, and right now Kimiko is about ready to be offered"

Riamundo grinds his teeth, "Offered to what"

"I - Uh" Jack didn't want to answer that.

So Chase quickly finishes, "death"

Riamundo looks at Chase for a moment and says, "Were you planning this all a long"

With a huff Chase replies, "You may not understand, my true reasons for doing this but-" he pauses in midsentence when they arrived to his palace.

Ready to embrace the landing they all quickly forgot about Chase's answer.

Seeing Chase hop off, Riamundo yells, "Chase answer me!"

Looking back Chase replies, "Not now" and returning to his home.

Ria was ready to plunge at him but Clay grabs him by the arm, "Just hold on there partner, we gotta find Kimiko first you know"

Clay was right; Kimiko had to be found first before anything was cleared up, if what Chase had said about death was true Riamundo had to corporate for now, "Alright" then quickly hopping after Chase into his lair.

Back to Kimiko

Looking at the witch behind her she yells, "Wuya what you doing here?"

Shutting Kimiko's mouth with her hands Wuya says in a loud hiss, "Quiet it you idiot, do want us to get caught" then returning to the knots.

Starting to feel the looseness of her hands Kimiko asks, "Are you helping me?"

Very fast Wuya says, "I'M NOT! My only interest is stopping Hannibal right now" Wuya in the end became quiet and gave Kimiko the sign that she wanted to leave at that for now.

"Oh" then with a quick snap both of Kimiko's arms became free, but all of a sudden a burst of flames shout out of her hands so suddenly that Kimiko and Wuya duck down.

Kimiko's eyes got wide and she yells, "Whoa! What was that?"

Wuya hissed at her to be quiet and says, "It was the ropes, they contain a spell that holds your chi and makes you weak" she then looks around at the air that Kimiko had just fired at, so she says, "You must of tired your element a lot, if you made that kind burst so suddenly"

Snapping her feet free Wuya helps Kimiko up and starts walking her away from her prison, but before Kimiko left she grabs what was left of the ropes.

Back to the Rescue Team

Stepping out his lair with his army of cats behind him Chase waves his hands to the direction of their next destination to the west, then walking back up to Dojo with the rest of the guys who now held new Shen gong wu in their arms.

They all saw the rampaging cats were going to the west.

Chase looks up at the sky and sees that the moon was beginning to turn red, "We don't have that much time now, we must get going" quickly demanding Dojo to set flight immediately. He began to run with great velocity that his fast movements caused the little red box he was saving for Kimiko to fall out of his armor without him noticing it.

But just behind him was Riamundo picking up the small box with curiosity. However he couldn't look at it right now, so he tugs the box into his robe quickly.

With everyone on and ready to go, they all set flight to the Heylin Temple that held Kimiko.

Back To Kimiko

Kimiko was being dragged throughout the whole dark temple by Wuya and she had about just enough of it.

Pulling her arm out of Wuya's claws she yells at her in a load whisper, "Wuya what the hell is going on, not that I don't appreciate your assents but… I mean, seriously your saving me!"

Rolling her green eyes Wuya replies, "I know you idiot, you don't think I know that by now"

Pouting at the name calling she asks, "But why?"

"Look I just happen to care about what happens to you right now, just leave at that and lets go"

Wanting answers right now she grabs onto Wuya's arm and asks, "Why?"

"You're really an idiot you know that… look… I just can see those who are fated to be together" she made Kimiko quiet, "Even I know, I can't stop this degusting force of love"

As Kimiko became shocked and stunned she began to think about Chase again. Such a joy it was to think about the man she was in love with again. The thought of him made everything seem OK.

Why would she believe Hannibal along anyway, she could see in Chase's eyes and see the real truth, He too was in love with her.

Her only prove was the Heylin witch who could see their love for each other was strong, maybe Kimiko was an idiot.

Finishing, Wuya says, "That's my reason you brat, now just be quiet and hurry up" she tugs unto Kimiko's arm to go faster to the large door ahead.

But before they could get half away to the door they were stopped by a large wall in front of them.

Before Kimiko could say or ask anything to Wuya she hears her say, "Let us go Hannibal" Kimiko looks back and sees Hannibal leaning on a pillar with his bird.

In his deep dark tone Hannibal says, "Now why would I want to do that when have two babes in front of me" he grins sickly, "Both being two different flavors of course, bitter and sweet"

No smiles came upon hearing that sick comment.

With a chuckle Hannibal says, "Tough crowd"

Wuya shouts, "It's gonna get tougher if you don't let us go right now!" she summoned her green magic into her hands and displayed them in front of Hannibal; he just smiled at the witch.

He smoothly spits back, "Have it your way then, but be sure you want to die first" then he suddenly sees the witch lunging at him in full speed.

But before Wuya could get a couple feet away from Hannibal his Ying Yang bird dove in front of her too open a vertex to the Ying Yang World, locking the bird and the witch in the strange world at the same time.

Kimiko gasps at the horror and looks at Hannibal for an answer.

He stares at her and says, "That finish that pest for now"

Kimiko got quiet and became outrage with Hannibal. She tightens her fist and thought about what Hannibal has done for the whole night, lying, kidnapping, and trapping people into nothingness. She gave Hannibal a list, so she could be the judgment of him.

Pointing at Hannibal so forcibly Kimiko yells, "Hannibal I challenge you to Xioalin Showdown!"

Raising a brow at her he replies, "This is a mood swing for you, considered the last time I left you in the corner crying like a little girl" Then grinning wickedly, "is this all of because Chase Young is not loving you anymore"

"First of all Hannibal, I have no need to believe you anymore" she soften her face, "I love Chase Young" then getting back into her mood of revenge, "And he loves me, even without this ceremony"

Crossing his vines Hannibal says, "Such a naive little girl, but it's the better chance I have of winning this match"

Standing taller she says, "The challenge is to the death"

Kimiko quickly tore her dress into a robe and took her stance in front of Hannibal. She and Hannibal were the only ones standing in the long hallway in silents, just staring at each other.

With loud echo they both yell, "GONG YI TEMPAI!"
