Author's Note: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown but I do love both of the series.
Speaking of the two series(New and Old); this particular fanfiction does have characters from the new version of the show(Shadow and Ping Pong to be specific) in it but is, for the most part, based off of the original series because I personally like it better(though the new version is okay too). Keep in mind that though this is based more off of the original series this fanfiction is also based off of the newer version which takes place a few years after the events in the first series, this therefor implies that this fanfiction takes place somewhere in-between or perhaps even slightly after both series, I'll let you all decide that for yourselves.
There will very likely be yaoi somewhere in this fanfiction (perhaps later), I haven't actually decided yet (but as I stated it is very likely). Therefore, if you don't like yaoi you might not want to read this fanfiction. Also, if I DO decide to put yaoi in this fanfiction (Which again is very likely) it'll be the first time I've written it which means it may very well suck. This being the case I would ask those of you who like yaoi to please not flame me if I don't do a good job.
Here's another chapter for you to read, I'm not sure how many I'll put up today but we'll see, there's a few more hints of yaoi in this chapter but not as much as there will be in later chapter; as said above if you don't like yaoi then by all means you don't have to keep reading this...not like I'm forcing you.
Anyway I hope at least some/most of you enjoy the chapter. Read and Review but no flames please, constructive criticism/advice is always appreciated though.
"Ah there you two are, I was wondering if you'd show up soon...I was about to come get you myself." Chase said looking pleased to see that Jack and the Panther had arrived.
"Sorry about that, I held us up...I wanted to make sure that Gizmo wouldn't worry about m being gone and your feline friend here offered to assist." Jack said before the panther could take the blame.
"Ah I see, well that is awfully kind him...I'll be sure to reward you later." Chase said panting the young panther on the head.
"Now than Jack if you'll follow me we'll pick which training we're going to start out with this morning." Chase added as the panther next to him looked down in pleased embarrassment.
"Oh so you haven't decided what I'm going to be doing yet, I'm surprised to hear that you haven't planned ahead for once." Jack said teasingly hoping that Chase wouldn't mind.
"Yes well even I can be disorganized sometimes, though I actually do have quite a few different training ideas for you to do today...I just haven't decided which to start with." Chase said chuckling at Jack's teasing.
"Oh I see, well in that case lead the way...the sooner we pick the first training the sooner we can start the other trainings you have planned for me today started." Jack said feeling glad that Chase seemed to be in a good mood.
"You sound excited Spicer, let's see if you're still as eager when I'm through with you today." Chase said with a mischievous smile.
"Well knowing you I'm sure I'll be exhausted by the end of the day, still I think there will at least be one thing I'll be eager to do." Jack said throwing hint of seduction in his voice knowing full well that it would catch Chase's attention which was what he wanted.
"I'll keep that in mind Spicer, it's almost a shame that I'll have to wait until later." Chase said smirking at Jack's purposeful seduction attempt.
"Well we could always train later, then you wouldn't have to wait." Jack said pressing up against Chase and boldly looking into the dragon lord's eyes seductively as well as carefully pressing his body against Chase's.
"Very tempting Jack Spicer, very tempting indeed; but as much as it pains me I'm afraid we'll both just have to wait until later...training comes first I'm afraid." Chase whispered seductively in Jack's ear and softly nipping lightly at the red head's neck.
"Damn, well you can't blame me for trying." Jack said trying not to groan in disappointment as Chase pulled away from his neck.
"No I can't, still we do need to start your first training of the day. Chase said not hiding the fact that he was disappointed like Jack was doing.
"Oh alright, so how are you going to pick what I'm doing first?" jack asked with a sigh.
"Ah but I'm not picking, you are." Chase said with another mischievous smile.
"Wait what, how am i supposed to pick, I don't even know what you have planned." Jack said with a confused look on his face.
"As I recall you always liked games so I thought to myself, why not make a game out of it" Chase said with a chuckle at the confusion on Jack's face.
"Well yeah I guess I do still love games, but what game did you have planned that's going to help me pick out what I'm doing first today?" Jack asked with an amused but still confused look on his face.
Before Chase could answer two cats Jack hadn't seen before came into the room pulling what looked like a large wheel on a stand behind them and immediately Jack could tell what his Dragon Lord Mater had in mind.
"Ah I see, you want me to spin that wheel don't you?" Jack asked with a knowing chuckle.
"Indeed I do Jack, each slot has a different method of training on it; you wont be doing all of them today as I'm you can see there are quite a lot of slots but I will be having you do five different forms of training today." Chase said as he gestured to the large wheel.
"That doesn't sound that bad, I would have thought you'd be having me do more." Jack said in a surprised way.
"Oh fear not Jack, as you progress you'll be doing more and more different training methods...however, believe me when I say that five will be more than enough to tire you out for now." Chase said smirking.
"I believe you, well alright then...may I spin the wheel Master?" Jack asked with a mock bow to Chase despite actually respecting him in reality.
"You may, though it'll be more difficult than you think it is." Chase said with a chuckle as he leaned against the wall nearby.
Jack raised an eyebrow sceptically at this and looked at th wheel carefully, it seemed like a perfectly normally wheel to him and he dint understand what Chase had meant when he'd said it would be more difficult to spin it then he thought it would.
"Hey what on earth, why didn't it spin?" Jack asked out loud in a confused way after he had tried to spin the wheel but it hadn't budged an inch.
"I told you that it wouldn't be as easy as you thought it would be." Chase said with an amused chuckle.
"There's some sort of trick to doing this isn't there?" Jack asked suddenly realizing that Chase had purposely left him in the dark.
"As a matter of fact there is Jack, I'm pleased that you figured it out so soon...though given the fact that I know you're a genius I really shouldn't be surprised." Chase said trying to hold in another chuckle.
"I don't suppose you'll give me a hint as to what I'm supposed to do will you?" Jack asked knowing fully well that Chase wasn't going to make it that easy on him.
"Now Jack this maybe your first training day of training but you know me better than that, even if I wasn't your master I wouldn't take it that easy on you?" Chase said with an amused smile.
"Besides as I mentioned before I know full well that you're a genius, I have faith that you'll figure this out if you take time to think about it...we wouldn't want you to get bored because I babied you now would we?" Chase added not bothering to hide a mischievous smirk.
"No of course not, well alright ill try to figure this out...just try not to get impatient if I can't solve the problem soon enough for you." Jack said with an amused chuckle.
"No need to worry about that Jack, even in your preteen years you were good at solving problems when you really stopped and put your mind to it, now you've grown up and you definitely know how to put that genius of yours to good use...in other words I have no need to grow impatient with you nowadays." Chase said with a confident smile.
"Thanks Chase, I think that I could get used to you saying such nice things." Jack said in a teasing but at the same time serious way.
"I'm sure you'll find ways to continue earning my praise, in the meantime we really do need to begin picking your first method of training so you'll need to figure out how to spin the wheel." Chase said a bit on the seductive side at first but then changing to a serious but not impatient voice.
"Right, hmm...let me think about this for a second." Jack said feeling glad that Chase was giving him time to think about this.
Carefully Jack examined the front of the wheel carefully, as before thought he could find nothing that seemed to be out of the ordinary; with this in mind Jack realized that there must be more to this wheel and decided to look at all sides of the wheel. After looking around both on the left and the right and finding nothing Jack made his way to the back of the wheel, to his surprise Jack spotted a small but still visible symbol on the back of the wheel.
"Damn, it's in one of the few languages I can't read, and I have a feeling that Chase wont tell me what it says." Jack thought to himself sighing out loud.
"Something wrong Jack?" Chase asked clearly knowing that Jack had found the symbol but nonetheless playing innocent.
"Well I found the symbol you put on the back of the wheel but I can't read it, I don't suppose you'll tell me what it says now will you?" Jack said looking over at Chase.
"Afraid not Jack but take your time, we have all day...though I confidence you'll figure it out soon."Chase said still looking amused by all of this.
"I'm glad that you're confident, oh alright...I'll examine this closer and try to prove that you really can keep that apparent confidence you have in me." Jack said before leaning down to exam the symbol closer.
As Jack looked closely at the symbol he sighed a bit, he had no idea what the symbol said and wasn't sure how he would figure it out without Chase; not sure how it would help Jack decided to run a finger along the symbol if only out of curiosity.
"Woah what the, when I touched it I..."Jack said started to say, jumping back a bit as a spark went up his finger after touching the symbol, but then stopping because he thought that he might have figured it out.
"Wait a minute, I think I get it now." Jack said feeling slightly proud of himself.
"Oh do you now, well by all means...prove it Mr. Spicer." Chase urged with a slightly sarcastically teasing voice despite knowing that his apprentice had indeed figured it out.
"Okay then Master Young, I will." Jack said hoping that he sounded more confident than he actually was.
With a slightly nervous sigh Jack stood up and went back to the front of the wheel and pointed his hands toward the wheel, he felt a bit silly doing this but he also closed his eyes and concentrated as hard as he could on making the wheel move with his newly discovered powers.
"Very good Jack very good indeed, you'll need a lot more training on learning how to control your powers before you can move the wheel more but that wasn't bad for your first try." Chase said sounding very pleased as apparently Jack had made the wheel move.
"Who knew making a silly wheel with the apparent symbol for metal carved on the back could be so hard to move." Jack said opening his eyes and sighing because he could see that he hadn't made the wheel move that much.
"Now now Jack don't be so hard on yourself, as I mentioned you'll need more training before you learn how to really master your powers, however for now it looks like you're starting off with weight training." Chase said placing a hand on Jack's back in an oddly reassuring way before gesturing to the wheel.
"Somehow I don't think I'm going to like this." Jack said with another sigh.
"It wont be so bad today Jack, after all you are just a beginner...I cant make promises for later training though." Chase said with a chuckle.
"I'm not sure if that reassured me or not." Jack said with an amused chuckle.
"Yes well at least I tried, now come Jack...we need to start your first training if we're ever going to get the other four." Chase said also chuckling.
"Lead the way, I'm right behind you." Jack said.
Without a word Chase signaled Jack to follow him after the red-headed much more sophisticated goth had said this, Jack tried his best to hold in a sigh...he was only headed for the first of his five trainings of the day and already he was not looking forward to what his Master had planned for him.
