A/N: WHEW!! It has been a very eventful past few days. And I still can't figure an ending for "Jack's Attack" yet. So here I am, working on this, to compensate,and figure out what the heck to do for it. Chapter Twelve was gonna be this HUUUGE long chapter, until Chara "accidentally" (Chara: I SAID I was sorry!) gave away the first chunk. So now, I don't have to write as much. Heheheh! Anyways, enjoy! And review.

A/N 2: I have nothing better to do than to update this story right now, and to tell you that the end is NEAR! I finished Chapter thirteen last night, so that'll be up next week-ish, unless I get bored. (To give me time to finish chapter fourteen). Chapter thirteen is the longest chapter so far.

PS: I realize now, just now, that Jack's "Thunder Clap" attack is A LOT like Raimundo's attack. So, for all intensive purposes--

(Jayna: I thought it was Intent and purposes?

Noko: No, it's Intentive purpoises.

Jack: This doesn't have anything to do with dolphins, you know.

Noko: This doesn't have anything to do with YOU, you know.

Jayna: DON'T talk to him like that! bickersquabblefight )

Umm... for all anticsive purposes, or something, we're just gonna forget that Raimundo ever did that attack. Okay, moving on... story time.

Chapter Twelve: The Beginning of the End

Chase stood, staring at the six teenagers before him, his little sister unbelievably on their side as well, and all the evil they had rounded up turned rodent. All he had left was Jack's father, Wuya, Hannibal Bean, and Omi. Not that Omi wasn't a powerhouse by himself. Omi could easily take out those kids without even trying. Wait...

Omi COULD easily take out those kids without even trying.

"Omi... why don't you have a little fun with your old friends?" Omi chuckled meliciously, and charged at them, Kimiko, Clay, Raimundo, Jack, Noko, and Jayna moving quickly to the side. Chara was the only one who remained standing still. She stared at him, watching him charge ever closer... until...

"STOP!" She yelled, holding up a hand. He stared at her, wondering what she was going to do next.

Chara shifted a few steps to the left, revealing a very hyped up Marzipan. He glared at Omi for a little while. Then...

"HAMMER TIME!" He said, dancing about the floor. Omi watched, amused by the antics of the small stuffed monkey, while Chase roared, "No, Omi, attack! ATTACK!!" Chara grinned at her older sibling. "Face it big brother. You're NOT gonna win! And this time, I'M gonna be the one to lock YOU up!" Chase turned into his giant lizard form, at which Chara gasped. "Okay... I didn't know you could DO that! That's not fair!"

Meanwhile, the rest of the Xiaolin Dragons, and the three Dragon Djinns, ran to find the Ying Yang Yo-Yos, to finally free Master Fung. That is, until Hannibal, Ben, and Wuya stopped them. "Ben, move OUT of the way, and go back home! You don't even belong here! This is REAL, dangerous stuff we're doing, and--" "Jonathan Matthew, I don't need YOU to tell me what's dangerous. I know EXACTLY what danger is." He yelled, rearing back to attack his son. Jack stood, head bowed, until the final second, in which he brought his hands together in an almighty, ground-shaking thunder clap attack, which sent his father sliding back a few feet. "Dad. I'm serious. Let us through, or there will be more where that came from." Everyone looked up at him. They'd never seen him so serious about anything before, really.

Ben looked shocked, if only for a second. "Son... I... I never knew you could do something like that. We should sell you to the circus! BWAHAHAHAH!!" Jack scowled, and rapidly began attacking his father, attacks that Ben could only stop a few of. The rest of them started to sneak off to find the Shen Gong Wu, when...

"Forgettin' somethin'?" Hannibal and Wuya darted in front of them to block their path. Clay and Raimundo stepped up, they had been itching to fight all day. "Kimiko, Jayna, Noko! Go find the Yo-Yos, and get back Fung!" Raimundo ordered. The three nodded and dashed off, leaving their comrades to fight.

It was only a matter of time before...

"Heylin power! WATER!" A giant water fist smashed the wall in front of them, Omi, looking melicious, behind them. "Omi it's us! Your friends!" Omi ignored Kimiko's cry and stepped over Marzipan, whom he had tied up with it's own hands and feet only moments ago. "Time to fight!" He cried, and rushed towards them with angry vigor. Kimiko stood in front of the two Djinns, and blocked Omi's first attack, sending him flying backwards and stunning him a bit.

"Jayna, Noko, you guys gotta get to the Ying Yang world, and get Master Fung!" Jayna looked daggers at Noko, who stared, just as angrily at her. Kimiko noticed and yelled at them again. "Just DO IT! Don't make me come back there!" Kimiko threatened, while blocking another attack made by Omi. Jayna looked about to Jack, who was fighting Ben, Raimundo and Clay, who where fighting Wuya and Hannibal, and small, little Chara, who was fighting Chase. Jayna nodded, and rushed off to find the Yo-Yo's, just as Chara struck Chase with another rock to the side of his head.

"Jayna, wait!" She looked back to see Noko following her as best as he could, at least half a dozen shadows trailing him. "What!?" She growled, trying to inspect room after room, hoping that one of them held the illusive Ying-Yang Yo-Yo's. "Jayna, I'm coming with you!" Jayna stopped to watch him instruct the shadows to search the house. Sure, they were no good to grab anything, but they could move faster than anyone with any kind of quick moving Shen Gong Wu. Jayna stared at how fast he worked. Sure, she was in hate with the guy right now (Hey, there's in love, why not in hate?), but why not take a second to idolize the way he worked, and the way he spoke ever-so gently to the shadows he commanded, as if they were his friends. The way he was SOO sure of himself, even if he had no idea what was going to happen next.

"Jayna? You look sick. Are you okay?" Jayna blinked a couple of times, the sick look never fading from her face. "I'm just BORED. Can we GO now?" If she had learned anything from kickboxing, it was to never give up the cool facade. Noko put his hands up in defense and backed up a bit. "Fine, fine. Sooo-rrry." Jayna kept a firm 5 foot lead, leaving Noko behind her, alone with his own thoughts.

Jayna was a tough girl. She had gone through a lot, after all. Losing her memory, being brought to the Xiaolin Temple, being kidnapped, getting together with him... he thought back to earlier that night... breaking up with him. She had a right to be mad at him. There was nothing else really to add to that, but she had a right to be mad. There. He said it. He was wrong. He... was wrong. Yeah. Well, that wasn't so bad. Now, all he had to do was say it for real, and... Oh, who was he kidding, that was NEVER gonna happen!

"NOKO! Darn it, keep up! If you're coming with me, than you need to... uh... Noko? There's something on your leg." He looked down. Sure enough, a small shadow being had clambered up to him, softly rocking back and forth on his leg. Looking kinda wierd... and causing Jayna to blush slightly.

"Umm... make it stop... this is uncomfortable... even to watch... I'm leaving." Jayna finally said, after a few moments of Noko's failed attempt to stop the small shadow beasties... demeaning activities. "NO... WAIT... Get off already! Okay... it's not funny anymore... getoffgetoffgetoffgetoffget--" "NOKO! You wanna SHUT UP before we're noticed... some more." She growled, before pushing open a small, inconspictuous door. "Besides, we need to find... JUST A DOODLE!" The small shadow thing had finally been shaken off of Noko's leg, just in time for him to see the Ying-Yang Yo-Yo's Jayna was holding in her hand. "Paydirt. Let's go!! YING YANG YO YO'S!" She cried, just in time, too, because Chase's cat warriors had just found them, and were about to pounce, when Noko scrambled through the hole, and Jayna hopped in after.

"Ugh... Ooohh... that was not fun." Jayna moaned, rubbing her head before she looked around. Beneath her lay Noko, one arm wrapped around her waist, closer to her butt than she should have allowed, for two people who were fighting. But, she figured, this was a result of him breaking her fall, and decided to let it go... Just this once... just for now. Noko was breathing steadily, slowly, his chest heaving up and down in a set rhythm. She relaxed her head upon it. He was so warm... it felt wrong to have been away from him for so long... NO! She was mad at Noko. AND she had a job to do. But most importantly, she was mad at Noko. But not so mad as to let him stroke her hair with his free hand. And certainly not so mad as to let him carress her cheek in such a caring manner. No... maybe she WASN'T THAT very mad. Maybe.

Meanwhile, in the REAL world...

Chara pranced around Chase, looking like some sort of dangerous interperative dancer. "Dance with me, Chase! Dance with me into oblivion!!" She yelled, hurling large, pointy stalagmites at him, causing him to jump sharply out of the way. Chase grunted. He knew that a baby sister was a bad idea. He never even WANTED a baby sister. He wanted a dragon. Everyone ELSE got a dragon. But did HE get a dragon? Nooooo. And Dashi even had THREE dragons, and he couldn't even have ONE! He got a little sister, who was a PAIN, PAIN, PAIN IN THE NECK!

Raimundo and Clay's fight with Wuya and Hannibal Bean had moved outside, their large, erratic movements too constricted on the inside. The young Xiaolin males were growing wary and tired, but kept fighting. They knew this was their duty. (Snickers. Duty...)

Kimiko blasted Omi away with another powerful Judolette Kick, and, reaching into her back pocket, pulled out her favorite weapon. "TANGLED WEB COMB!!" She screamed, hoping, praying that it would be enough. And it just barely was, as Omi struggled, fruitlessly, against his bindings. She looked around, just in time, to see Jack being tossed to the floor by his father. He glared at his son, who was now unconcious, and was about to deliver a fatal blow to the young boys head, when--

"SPHEAR OF YUN!" Kimiko cried out. 'Why didn't I use these BEFORE? They woulda come in real handy BEFORE!' She angrily thought, before rushing to the unconcious boy genius.

Kimiko slid next to him, kneeling down and putting his head on her lap. He looked so peaceful just then, his whole body relaxed in a manner she had never really appreciated before. He really was something to be admired. His messy, blood red hair flew all over the place, except for where a pair of yellow, spiral-ridden goggles rested. Kimiko swept some dirt away from the lenses of the goggles, noticing one lens was cracked. As she dusted the dirt away from his goggles, her hand wandered to the side of his cheek, to the side where that long, black mark was. It was, now that she looked at it upclose, a burn, undeneath all that makeup. Her hand traveled down to the thin line that was his mouth, and for a second, just for a second, she felt a rush of regret. Kimiko coudln't explain it. Wny did she hate Jack so much? Why did she keep fighting him so hard? Was there something she was trying to make up for? And if so-- she was drawing closer to him-- what was it? Why did she keep making up excuses? Were the excuses for her? Didn't she want someone to get close to her? Were the excuses for him? Did she want anyone to know how she feels for real? About him? About them? Would there be a them? After this whole experiance, it was hard to tell.

Kimiko finally realized how close she was to Jack's mouth... how close they were to each other. How... just once... she should try to do something completely rebellious and different, and off the scales. Off anything anyone had ever... really...

Her lips met his, and in one, perfect moment, everything was okay. She felt that everything would be okay. And, just being there, with him, even if he was unconcious, was how she new it needed to be... even if he was evil. She pulled away from him, wiping her eyes, for she had been crying breifly. Kimiko looked down at his face, still the pale, slightly goth-looking boy she had always thought to have hated. But... whatever had changed her mind... had caused her to think differently.

Raimundo paused for half a second to see Kimiko, the girl he had chased after for so long, face to face with Jack Spicer. He continued to fight, but allowed his mind to wander. Jack Spicer? Jack SPICER? The boy they had fought so hard AGAINST all these years? And she was kissing him? What about Raimundo? He was getting the short end of the stick! Kimiko kissed him before, and then they never talked about it again; though there were those akward moments after, when he had tried to confront her about it... those small, little pecks on the cheek. They seemed so irrelavent now. Now that she was actually... He struggled to not think about it. There was no way, NO WAY, she actually had feelings for him, the ENEMY. And he would prove that to her. Using more energy than he actually meant to, he sent Hannibal Bean flying off the edge of the cliff. Raimundo rushed to the edge just in time to see him, in his smaller, beanier form riding Ying-Ying, his magical bird-pet, off into the horizon. It seemed that he would rather get out of there with the remainder of his pride, than continue to fight and lose.

Raimundo straightened up, and walked towards Kimiko, ignoring a struggling Omi. "Is he okay?" He asked stiffly. Kimiko sniffled, and, rubbing her eyes blearily, nodded. "Yeah... He's still breathing... but he's hurt. Bad. I'll have-- I mean, if you think you can take care of everything else?" Raimundo raised an eyebrow questioningly. "What do you mean?" Kimiko looked down at the goth boy's pale face, a large bruise was starting to form underneath his right eye. Raimundo watched her, careful not to let his emotions get the best of him, and fighting the urge to kick Spicer while he was down. She was getting in too deep. He had to remind Kimiko that Jack was a bad guy. No matter who came back into his life, or who was entering it-- no. She wasn't going to be anymore a part of his life than she already is, enemies to the bitter end. No matter WHAT.

"Kimiko, look, let's just get Dojo to take him back to his house, and--" "NO, RAI!" She screamed, tears forming in her stunning blue eyes. "He CAN'T go back. H-he'll... He'll hurt him. He'll have to go back to... and he'll hurt Jack." Kimiko said, pointing to Ben, with her other hand wrapped carefully around Jack's neck. Rai looked from Ben to Jack, comprehension dawning slowly on his face. "That's Jack's dad. Isn't it?" Kimiko nodded, a few strands of loose hair falling into her face. Raimundo couldnt' take it anymore. It was time to break out the big guns.

"Kimiko, if you bring him back to the Xiaolin temple, he'll probably steal all the Wu! No. You can't just go by yourself." Kimiko glared up at him. "I can protect the Wu from him, IF that's what comes to be. But I doubt that'll happen, Rai. He's not--" She looked back down at his face. For some reason, she found it hard not to. "He's not evil anymore. He never was. He was just confused. And I bet if we would have found him before he decided to go evil, he would be on the side of GOOD right now, and we wouldn't even be having this fight! Rai, we can't stop what he DID, but we can help him to do what's RIGHT!"

Raimundo glared at her and Jack. "Please. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. He's not evil, I'll give you that, but he's not confused either! He just wants to--"

"He just wants RESPECT!"

"You can't POSSIBLY believe that?"

"I do, Rai. And you should too, because it's the TRUTH, RAIMUNDO!"

Raimundo was beginning to turn away from her, until she shouted his name. He turned back sharply, and Kimiko swallowed a hard lump in her throat. She was whispering, but to Raimundo... it was chrystal clear.

"Rai... I don't understand why you hate him so much. Why can't you just give him another chance?"

"Because he doesn't DESERVE another chance."

"We gave YOU another chance."

"I only messed up once."

"No. You messed up more than just once, and more than just twice... Why do you hate him so much?"

"Why are you defending him so much?"

"Rai, you didn't even ans--" But he HAD answered her question, albeit with a question of his own. "Oh. I understand." The Wind Dragon looked to her, a small amount of questioning in his eyes. "And I'm sorry you feel that way."

"Kimiko, what--?"

"I'm going back to the temple. I'm going to take care of him, Rai. I know you can handle things here on your own." Pedrosa could tell that she was holding back tears, and that, for whatever reason, her feelings were genuine.

In the next moment, the following things had happened, almost all at once:

Rai's heart broke.

Wuya fell, defeated, into Jack's cage, the door slammed shut behind her, locking her in.

Clay collapsed to his knees, exhausted from fighting the Heylin Witch.

Omi broke out of his restraints.

Marzipan stopped struggling against his bound hands and feet... and lay still.

Chara was knocked backwards into a large stalagmite, and slid to the floor, laying just at motionless as her stuffed monkey.

Chase panted heavily, having just defeated his little sister.

Kimiko boarded Dojo, with the still unconcious Jack in her arms, and took off towards the Xiaolin Temple.

Ben watched his son leave, and, for once, felt a certain emptiness in his heart.

Noko and Jayna reached the inner layers of the Ying Yang world. Just in time to realize they were being followed.

The Chi Monster found his newest prey.

---------------------

Chapter Twelve: The Beginning of the End: End.

Next time on Xiaolin Showdown: Dragon Djinn Saga!

Sorry, that was a bit of a short chapter.

Jayna: Short? Short like OMI! And, I mean, in ONE chapter alone you managed to cut down HALF of our forces. HALF! Omi's bad, Jack's knocked out, Kimiko's gone, Me and Noko are in the Ying-Yang world... I mean, can ANYTHING else go wrong?

Wait, there was a reason for this chapter being so short. Chara, remember? She cut it down.

Jayna: Sorry. I forgot. And Chara and Marzipan may or may not be dead!!

Noko: Chase... You killed your own sister? And what's more, you killed your own LITTLE sister!

Chase: I... did... what... I... ugh... I am... sooo... exhausted.

Raimundo: That'll make him easier to fight later, I guess.

Clay: Don't forget, the half of our side that's still alive's either depressed, or in no condition to fight.

Jayna: Man, this is gonna be a big one. There's no TELLING how this is gonna end!

Omi: I can tell you how it ends! I WIN!

Chase: Of course, Omi! That sounds like a very good idea!

Raimundo: Yeah, and Kimiko said I could handle this by MYSELF! Huh.

Clay: You're supposed to be able to handle this by yourself! Hello? Oh, man, we lost him.

Okay, gang. It looks like the next chapter's gonna be a sticky one!

It's gonna be Noko and Jayna against their complicated love issues, and the Chi Monster!

Noko: What fun...

It's gonna be Raimundo and Clay against Raimundo's love depression, Omi, and Chase Young.

Raimundo: (A raincloud appears over his head) Sigh... depression...

And it's gonna be Ben against the Sphere of Yun!

Ben: STUPID BUBBLE THING!! AHHHHH!!! (Kicks bubble thing)

Will Chara be okay to dance another day? Will Marzipan ever admit to his fear of bananas? Will Kimiko be able to come face to face with her feelings for Jack Spicer? Will we ever find out who Omi's birth parents are? Will Chase ever get a pet Dragon? Will--

Noko: Wait... why would Chase want a pet dragon? He already turns INTO a dragon. AND he has all those pet cats! You think all those litterboxes would be enought to clean up... not for the great Chase Young!

Chase: Once you get out of there... I'm going to kill you.

Noko: You'll have to catch me first!

Will Chase ever catch Noko? All the questions, and more on the way, as Xiaolin Showdown, Dragon Djinn Saga, continues!

Jayna: Please note, she did not promise ANSWERS to these questions AT ALL!

Chapter Thirteen: The Doom Song!

Jayna: YEESSSS! YEEHEEHEEESSSS!!! WHOOOO!

DoOm DoOm De DoOm DoOm De DoOm DoOoOoOoOoM dOoM...

A/N: PS- Okay, so the next chapter is gonna be HELLA long to 1, make up for this chapter being so short, and 2... well, it was just too fun to not have it all together in one great big awesome chapter. I call it: The Greatest, Biggest, Most Awesomest Great Big Awesome Chapter Ever Known To Woman (And Man) Ever Made Ever. Or that's what I should have called it, if I hadn't'a already picked out a chapter name. Curse my late awesome ideas. Curse them I say!! More to come!!

PS 2- No word on Jack's Attack yet. I have reached a writers block on that thing!! I almost reached a writers block on this one, too. But the difference is, I didn't ACTUALLY get writers block for this one!!! Gah, this is FRUSTRATING!! Okay, LOVE!
