Megan watched in awe as the Tunnel Armadillo appeared from the earth in front of them. Ashley yawned. Golden Tiger Claws are a lot better, she thought.

As the Shen Gong Wu began shrinking back to its original size, Kimiko and Jack jumped out. When they saw the two girls standing there, they just stared. Ashley took a step forward, and punched Jack in the face. He grabbed his nose, trying to stop the blood flow. "What the heck was that for!"

"I bet you knew what was going to happen! You knew we'd get caught, didn't you?" Ashley's voice was filled with accusation and happiness. It wasn't everyday that she got to punch Spicer in the face, and it did take her mind off the current situation.

Jack shook his head. "I didn't know nothing! Please don't hurt me again," his wimpy, childish tone took over. Kimiko sighed, but took her stare off the girls. Her gaze was now upon the door to Chase's lair.

"Did you see Chloe?" The tone was full of concern, and angst.

Megan and Ashley made a quick glance at the other. Sure, they didn't want to break the poor girl's heart by telling her that her daughter didn't give a crap about their attempted rescue. And if what Chase had said was true, Chloe wasn't even a child anymore. Jack noticed the look.

"What is it?"

Ashley glared at him. "Shut up Spicer, we aren't talking to you."

"True, but that's my girl in there, and if you know anything, I deserve to know!" Kimiko looked over, and nodded. Her eyes looked as if they were on the verge of tears.

Megan cracked. "Look, she's in there on her own will. Anything she's told you was a lie."

Kimiko blinked. "No. I don't believe you."

Megan stepped forward, and put a hand on her shoulder. "It's true. She's completely different, unless she acted completely senile when she lived with you." Megan wanted to say, 'When she was little' but didn't. She decided that her cousin and his wife would have to find out the difference for themselves.

A loud noise came from behind. The door was opening again. "He knows we're here," said Jack, his head still tilted upward.

Ashley went to go in, but Megan grabbed her. "It's not our business. It's for them, not us." She nodded her head towards Jack and Kimiko, both staring at the door as if it were the gateway to heaven. The gateway to their daughter. The two stepped forward, and walked into the lair.

"Raimundo, why did you misplace the Emperor Scorpion!" Omi shouted, rummaging around his tent.

"I DIDN'T LOSE IT! CLAY HAD IT LAST!"

"Gosh darn it, I did not! Stop trying to frame the cowboy!"

The three searched the entire area, trying to find the Shen Gong Wu. No one knew who had it last, but they needed it. They had to be there when Kimiko was reunited with her daughter.

In the sky, watching them as they searched was a little black crow, holding an object with its feet.

(-)(Chloe's POV)

I put on the dress, and looked in the mirror. Was it really necessary for me to wear a dress in a wedding for taking over the world? But Chase wanted it. I hated it more than any object I currently possessed. Wuya stood behind me, observing with interest.

"What are you smiling about?" I snapped irritably.

Her smile widened. "I just think it's funny that Chase wanted you to wear white."

I gave her a death glare, and stormed out of the room. I could hear a roar of laughter coming from Wuya's mouth. I groaned, and walked into the front room. When I arrived, I saw the two people I never wanted to see again in the entire history of the whole world. My parents.

They stared at me, as if wondering who I was. A voice from within my head cackled in delight. It seemed that the two girls that left earlier didn't inform them of what had happened.

Mother's eyes bore into me. I didn't flinch. I knew she knew I was marrying Chase, so I assumed the wedding dress gave me away. Other than that, they would've never figured out who I was.

Father stared at me, half with awe, and half with horror. I guessed that I had become the evil person he had only dreamed of being before I was born. But now, it seemed so unreal to him that his little girl was exactly what he wanted to be. I savored the look.

"Chloe?" Mother whispered. I could tell she wanted so desperately for it to not be true. It was music to my ears.

"I thought you two would never arrive," I said, happily. It didn't pain me a single bit to think of the pain they were about to be in.

Mother stepped forward, still gazing at me. I didn't avert my eyes, because the hurt within her pleased me. She could now feel what I had felt because of her secrets.

"Chloe, what happened to you?" Her voice was filled with sorrow.

I smirked. "I sold my soul. All because of you," It felt so good to let her know that.

She took another step forward. Father was still staring at me, when his nose started bleeding. I could hear him say, "Not again," and watched as he tilted his head upward.

Mother grabbed my hand. "Chloe, come back with us. We can help you. We can help you get your soul back."

I yanked my hand free. "How dare you feel that you have the right to touch me! How dare you think I have even a single piece of pity, or mercy, or even forgiveness for you! CHASE," I decided my time alone with my parent's was up.

Mother gave me a frightful look, tears within them. I felt a surge go through me that was stronger than any feeling at the moment: Pride. As Chase approached, I was proud of being the one to cause my Mother the most pain she could ever experience in her life.
