Remember Me Baby Jay

Chapter 13

Suddenly, before the spear could penetrate the blond masculine's broad chest, a finger sized icicle flew from nowhere and sliced the top Katnappe's hand.

"KYAAA!" the spear dropped out of her hand and landed practically between Clay's spread thighs. Gripping her injured hand, Katnappe turned and yelled, "What the FUCK?" She then stopped when she saw who had thrown the icicle. "What the hell? I'm on your side you dumb bitch!" she growled.

Alexis fixated her crimson orbs on the blond fem with an emotionless expression on her visage. "I don't give a damn whose side I'm on! I don't kill without cause!" she yelled back.

Katnappe, along with the others still at the scene, stared at the azure skinned girl in silent overwhelmed disbelief.

"WI-WITHOUT CAUSE?! This was our chance to finally get rid of one of these bastards and you ruined it!"

Alexis shrugged as she casually ambulated her way towards the pugnacious Katnappe placidly. "I might be on the Heylin side, but my master has taught me that it's dishonorable to finish off an opponent that is already down for the count. And believe me; my master is all about honor."

Katnappe was growling and shaking with inner-rage. "I knew you were nothing but a flake..from the moment I saw you! I don't see what the fuck Spicer likes about you!" she hissed with such aggression. Suddenly, the blond lass pirouetted her bodice from the cowboy and made a lunge for the scarlet-eyed teen, her phalanges spread while dagger-like claws unsheathed, threatening to rake across the ice warrior's apex.

Descending her orbital lids to hide away her twin voids of sanguine, Alexis simply twirled her frame with swift quickened dexterity and did a round-about kick. Alabaster boot collided with negrescent suit covered abdomen, sending the blond hair pigmented fem flying across the field and landing hard upon her back.

Katnappe winced from the pain of having fallen on her 'tail bone', but she slowly began to sit up. Her actions were stopped when she noticed a shadowed silhouette towering over her own frame. She flinched and soon realized her body was trembling as she stared into Alexis' dark-hued chasms.

"Th-they…they've changed…th-they l-look…m-more…" she couldn't bring herself to thinking straight. She had become completely petrified of the eyes that were staring straight into her soul. They were the eyes of something inhuman, something that had just marked her as its next meal.

Jack soon came up and placed a hand on Alexis' shoulder. "Hey come on! We got the Wu, now let's go home!" he said to her.

Alexis soon took a deep breath and pivoted her crown towards the albino. "Ok" she answered softly before turning away, and started to head to an already summoned Silver Manta Ray.

Katnappe gritted her teeth as Jack helped her up. "Jack, I don't know who or what the fuck she is, but you better watch yourself" she whispered to him and walked toward the ship as well, but kept her distance far from ebon haired teen before her.

Clay continued to watched, flabbergasted."Sh-she saved my life…" he thought. He then flinched when he felt an arm rest on his mass shoulder. He looked up and saw Kimiko with a worried expression. "Oh thank god! You're ok!" she said and hugged him tightly.

"Dude, you must be the luckiest cowboy in Texas" said the Brazilian as he playfully slapped Clay on the back.

"Y-yeah…" he said softly, still dumbfounded.

Clay then suddenly rose up, gently moving Kimiko aside before running after Heylin group.

"Hey Clay!" called Raimundo.

The said cowboy ignored his calling comrade before finally stopping when he was a few feet away. "Hey wait!"

Alexis paid him no mind, but waited for Jack and Katnappe to board first. While Jack climbed on board, he lifted a brow at why the cowboy was calling to them at all.

Clay gritted his teeth and called again. "Please stop!"

Alexis finally pivoted her crown to look at blond masculine for a few seconds before commencing to board as well.

Clay finally took in a deep breath and shouted with all his might. "BABY JAY!"

Alexis felt her heart almost stop as her eyes widened to the size of saucers. Jack watched closely, but said nothing. Slowly Alexis climbed down from the ship, which surprised Jack completely. Slowly, the reptilian seeming girl turned her head to face the panting cowboy who stood a few feet away from her.

"W-what did you call me?" she asked, her tone sounding soft yet rasp.

Clay finally caught his breath as a smile began to slowly form on his visage. "B-Baby Jay….it's what I use tah call ya…back when we were nothing but lil' runts on my daddy's ranch" he said to her. His heart began to race when he saw her slowly walking towards him with an astonished expression on her face. "You remember…d-don't cha?" he practically whispered when the distance between their faces grew smaller.

Alexis' breathing grew heavy as she stepped closer. She then raised a hand and slowly brushed a few strands of golden-chromed hair that covered one of Clay's azure orbs. It wasn't until she looked into his bright ceruleans, did her heart sink down to her stomach. Tears had begun streaming down her cheeks.

"Cl-clay?" He smiled and nodded his head. "Clay Bailey?" she gasped.

He chuckled softly while giving her another nod, "That's right, Baby Jay."

Her hand quickly pulled away and covered her mouth in shock. "Oh…oh my God Bulldozer!"

From far, Jack felt something pierce his heart when he saw Alexis giving the cowboy an affectionate embrace, and seeming so happy. He was snapped from the scene when he heard Katnappe chuckling in the back seat behind him.

He sighs and turned to face her. "What are you laughing at?" Katnapped snickered and grinned evilly at him.

"Looks like you just found yourself competition Jackie-boy" she snickered. Jack glared at her and quickly turned away. "Hey Ashely…you thirsty?" he said to her and reached into the glove compartment of the Silver Manta Ray.

Raimundo and the rest of the warriors watched as Clay embraced their Heylin enemy; not sure whether they should be worried or happy for their Texan comrade. But the answer soon came when Rai saw Jack coming up to the two teens with an obvious scowl on his face that startled even the Brazilian.

"Hey Clay, look out!"

But before Clay could even assess the situation, he felt Alexis being torn out from his grasp. Alexis gasped when she felt herself being swung around, soon stumbling behind Jack.

"Jack Spicer what in-tarna.." but before golden-haired masculine could finish his surprised allocution, Jack had reached behind him and pulled out a familiar Wu.

"Silk Spitter!" he snapped, his vocals accumulating a low and heinously cold tone. It actually sent a shiver down Alexis' spine; she had never heard the albino sound so threatening and infuriating. Clay yelled as he fell back and landed on his rear. He opened his eyes and saw Jack pulling Alexis by her wrist, leading her back to the Silver Manta Ray. The cowboy struggled hard, tying to break the web, but with no avail.

"Baby Jay don't go! You're not meant to be on the Heylin side!"

Alexis turned and looked over her shoulder, but couldn't find her will to struggle against Jack's grip. Instead, she closed her chasms and allowed for him to lead her onto the flying Wu.

Clay watched helplessly as the Wu took off into the air. The rest of the warriors ran up to him. "I'm sure she'll be fine cowboy. After all, she's been living with the Heylin side for a long time." Clay shook his head and sighed as Kimiko burned off the web. "That's not really what I'm worried about Rai."

Kimiko looked up at Clay, and right away knew what was upsetting him. "And worst, they now have the Eyes of Bliss….this will not be a good thing to tell Master Fung," said Omi, looking just as upset as Clay. Dojo, who had been hiding all this time, crawled onto Clay's shoulder and sighed.

"Ah not to worry guys, let's just get outta here, it's getting really late and we still have a long way to fly. Well…I do at least," grumbled the little green dragon.

Kimiko nodded her head and patted Clay on the shoulder, "Yeah come on Clay, and maybe we can spend the night at your daddy's ranch. I'm sure Master Fung would understand if we didn't return for the night."

Clay turned his pivoted his crown, facing the Japanese warrior before giving her a warm smile. "Alright, I could sure use one of his famous homemade sirloin steaks right 'bout now" he said softly.

Raimundo rolled his emerald eyes, but figure it was for the best. "Ok, ok, we'll go. But there is no way in hell I'm doing any cowboy chores this time!"

Kimiko gave Rai a scolding look before punching him on the shoulder.

"Ngh! Oi, did you even see Spicer kick me? If I can't have any kids, I'm gonna go and tear his balls off so we both can be heir-less!" he growled.

The emerald dragon shook its head; it then jumped off Clay's shoulder and slithered just a few feet away before morphing into its massive form. All the monks boarded the dragon, finally feeling the effects of the day's battle getting to them. It had been a long day, and though they had lost another Wu, Clay couldn't help but feel a little triumphant. He was not able to get Alexis to join them, but at least she remembered who he was. That was good enough, for now.

After making sure all were on board, the dragon took off into the darkening atmosphere and flew in the direction of Clay's home.

Heh heh, no cliffs for a while now.

Hope you're all happy. XD
