Mayhemb; The Demon Seed, the episode I have been waiting for. Also, my School Year has started back up, so I'm sorry if it takes a bit longer than usual for me to update.

P.S.; Did any of you know that Orchids is a Greek word meaning 'testicles'...Think about that, and re-watch the first part of the episode. You will see it in a WHOLE new different light.


Alexis smiled at Dojo, who was on her shoulder as they started to walk into the Greenhouse. Today was the day Master Fung had promised them their little Spa-Day as their early New Years Eve gift, and the Nature Dragon had to give the honor of protecting the Heylin Seed to the others.

"Remember, a Warrior must first learn to control his patience before he can control himself." Master Fung told the others as he used the 3 watering cans that he had first shown Alexis.

"I bet he writes these sayings on the palm of his hand." Raimundo whispered to Kimiko, who giggled behind her hand. Sadly though, the elder had heard them.

"No Raimundo, I write them inside my eyelids. That is why I blink so often." way ta go Master Fung...! Dojo then slithered up from inside Raimundo's shirt, before poking the boy in the nose as he spelled.

"B-U-S-T-E-D. Ooooh."

"Since you all desire something more challenging, and since Alexis and Dojo are leaving for their relaxation trip, it is time we introduce you to the greatest responsibility Alexis has here at the Temple." Master Fung started, nodding to Alexis. The Nature Dragon took this as her sign to press the button atop the statue's forehead in the Greenhouse, which rotated to show a Lit Torch and a staircase, which the others gasped at.

"Dag nard..!"

"What is that most Earthy-smell..?" Omi questioned as Master Fung gave the watering cans to Alexis, taking the torch after the switch, before he lead the group down.

"Yeah, it reminds me of Clay's boots."...Huh, good comparison Raimundo.

"How long has this been down here?" Kimiko asked the leading elder, who began his speech.

"For over 15-hundred years, monks just like you have been guarding the contents of this Vault. It is now time for you to assume the task while Alexis and Dojo are gone." Master Fung told the group as Alexis prepared to unlock the door with the watering cans, leaving Dojo enough time to say a few words.

"Believe me, you couldn't ASK for a greater honor..You're all growing up so fast, *sobs a bit* I never thought I'd see the day..!" Dojo exclaimed, pulling out a tissue to wipe away a tear and blowing his nose...Before Alexis finally stood with her back against the odd tree on the door, placing one of the watering cans on her feet, before pouring in the correct amount of water into each of the unlocking flowers.

Once she was done, she hopped down smiling. The flowers twirled just like they normally would, unlocking the door...To reveal the large dragon statue in the room on the others side. As the others gasped at this sight, Master Fung and Alexis walked in, the elder lighting the dragon's mouth with the torch. The head then slowly rose to reveal a chest, which held inside the box that Alexis spent countless nights with...Slowly then, she grabbed the box, and gave it to Master Fung.

"Behold, the Heylin Seed." Master Fung declared as he showed everyone the seed. Alexis stood with a comforting face as she gently petted the scared Dojo's head. Boy, he REALLY needed this Spa-trip.

...

Yet...Well, the others...

"It's just a little seed..!"

"Looks l'ah'ke somethin' that fell offa mah triple-double-cheeseburger."

"Tending orchids sounds more exciting..!"...Alexis glared at Kimiko, Clay, and Raimundo a bit. Oh, so the she WASTED her time with this..?

"Small it maybe, but the Heylin Seed is potentially the most destructive force on Earth." Master Fung told the group, added in with a nod from Alexis. Then, once again, Omi tried to use another phrase...Tried being the key-word in all of this.

"You are both pulling on my feet."

"The Heylin Seed is not to be trifled with. It is never to be planted, or allowed near dirt, or water, or sunlight." Master Fung continued to instruct the group, Alexis looking at the box as a tingling sensation ran up her spine.

"So all we have to do is leave it in the box..." Raimundo commented, allowing Alexis to draw her attention from the seed.

"Oui."

"My kinda job." With Raimundo's final comment, Master Fung put the box back into the chest and began closing it.

"Has the power of the seed ever been unleashed...?" Kimiko questioned, Dojo and Alexis shared a look then.

"Oui, eet 'apponed 15-hund'ah'ed yea'hs ago. Nea'ly ended all life as ve know eet. Zis special vault vas built to keep za seed vhere no evil do'ah vill evah 'each eet again." Alexis informed the group, only for Dojo to start bugging out.

"This seed is SO SCARY, IT MAKES MY SCALES STAND ON END! Oooooh you never know what it's gonna do..! Oh, this seed..!" Dojo then started to hyperventilate, making Alexis have to pick him up and hold him.

"I shutt'ah to zink vhat vould 'appon, eef eet eve'ah fell into zee 'ong 'ands." Alexis told her friends, frowning at the quivering Dojo...After a few more moments of only Dojo's frightened noises filling the chamber, Master Fung softly stepped forward and placed a hand on Dojo's head.

"Yes, well..That is to say, that you must guard it with your lives." Master Fung stated as he headed towards the door, turning around to look at the temporary-guards of the seed. "The fate of the world depends on your vigilance."

Once he was out of sight, Raimundo opened the chest so he and the others could stare at the box.

"How could uh puny lil' seed be so powerful..?" Clay questioned the others, before looking at Alexis when she coughed.

"I...I knov zis may sound a bit...Vie'ah'd..But..But I vould like you all to knov zat I...I t'ah'ust you all to p'ah'otect mon mauvais (evil) seed." Alexis slowly said, and gently a worried smile crept onto her face. "But...I vould like eet eef one of you, vould p'ah'omise to gua'd eet vhile I am away."

"Nani, this seed ain't so bad..!"

"Non, eet es Raimundo." everyone then gave Alexis a confused look, forcing the Nature Dragon to glance at the box. "I...I can feel eet sometimes, as eef eet knovs zat I am zee one vatching eet...I 'ave 'ea'ah'd eet speak once, vhen I b'ah'ought zee Tao Chokah in 'ere...I nevah ooze eet in 'ere evah again..."

"Sister." Omi started as he walked forward, smiling up at the Nature Dragon. "You have my word that the seed will remain in our hands while you and Dojo are gone."

Alexis smiled back at this, kneeling down and gently kissing Omi's forehead. "Merci mon frere, zat gives me some piece of mind."

"Hey, it'll be okay Nani..! No problem-o." Raimundo declared as he gently helped Alexis stand to her full height, before he started shoving her towards the door. "You and Dojo go to your little spa-time, and enjoy yourself..! Your seed will be right here when you guys return."

"Ah, merci..." Alexis whispered, smiling down at Dojo, before walking up the stairs to get the Golden Tiger Claws. "Also, make su'h'e zat you don't let zee box out of za vault..!"


Alexis sighed a bit as she rested in the tub of mud beside Dojo, who was in a smaller tub of mud.

"Man Lexi, your brother sure has connections." Dojo commented while biting into the cucumber that had been covering his eye, smacking his lips a bit. "You know, I don't think I've ever been so...Relaxed..."

"I know vhat you mean, mon ami." Alexis replied, only to suddenly sit up at the odd sensation running up her spine.

..

...

"Dojo...Do you feel like...Somezing es off..?"

"No, why?"

..."I don't 'eally know..

"Ah, you're just being paranoid Lexi..! Ya gotta relax! After all, it's not like the others took the box out of the vault..!"


"-You mean it is out here...? Without his permission?.!" Omi almost yelled at Raimundo, who had taken the box carrying the Heylin Seed outside with them as they swam in the creek.

"He'll never know, and neither will Nani..! Besides, how hard can it be to protect a box..?" Raimundo questioned back, just as Clay got the hotdogs off the grill.

"Chow-t'ah'me..! Get 'em while you can, which won't be for long." Clay exclaimed happily, rubbing his hands after putting the plate atop the box. When he turned away, however, he missed the sight of the Heylin-Seed carrying box (and the hotdogs) falling deep into the sand. And by deep, I mean deeeeep.

"Hey, quit foolin' around guys..! Where's the box?.!" Raimundo asked Clay and Kimiko, the once sun-bathing girl sat up and looked at the spot where said object once rested.

"It was here a second ago..!" while Kimiko declared this, Omi ran to stand on the sinking spot.

"Oooooh this is MOST troublings..! The Heylin Seed is miss-" Omi then gave a yell, cutting off his sentence as he sunk into a tunnel...Where you could just faintly see the back of a digging machine created by none other than-

"It's Spicer..! He took the seed!" Kimiko exclaimed, before Clay realized something.

"And the hotdogs!" the cowboy then jumped down into the tunnel, trying to nudge past Omi, only to run around the little feller as he shouted at Jack's vehicle. "Come back here with them doggies you no-good, low-down snake..! You yellow-belly dirty-little, side-winder, AH'M GONNA GET YOU!"

Omi then looked up at Kimiko and Raimundo. "It appears that we have just...Been jacked..."


Alexis gave a small smile as she stepped out of the Golden Tiger Claw's vortex and into the kitchen, Dojo on her shoulder.

"Hey, I'm gonna go see where Master Fung is. Could you-"

"Make some tea..?"

"Please and thank you Lexi..! I'll go put up the Tiger Claws while I'm out and about." with that Dojo jumped off her shoulder, slithering through the hallways with the Golden Tiger Claws. Alexis smiled a bit at this, before turning around and starting a teapot. For a moment, she felt okay...

Then...It hit.

It was like the school bully had thrown a medicine ball into your gut, then slammed you into the wall...Finally, her stomach seemed to flip inside and turned inside and out...

...

Dear lord, what was happenin-

"THE HEYLIN SEED'S BEEN UNLEASHED!"...WHAT?.! Alexis rushed out of the room at Dojo's yell, only to grip her stomach when it gave another lurch.

Okay...This might take a while.


"Apprentices do not fear plants..!" Omi declared as Alexis stumbled out into the daylight, her face pale now as her legs quivered.

"You shall fear this one." Master Fung told Omi, just as Raimundo finally saw the Nature Dragon.

"Nani!" Raimundo shouted out, running towards the French-girl and helping her. "Nani, what's wrong..?"

"I...I don't...Don't know..." Alexis managed to gasp out, Raimundo quickly looked over to Master Fung and Dojo for an answer...Only for Dojo to suddenly have a lightbulb appear over his head.

"The Heylin Seed was originally made from the accidental fusion of Heylin Magic and Nature Chi. If I'm right, then Alexis' chi is sensing the Heylin Seed...!" Dojo's eyes then went wide as he realized something. "Which means...As Alexis keeps getting sicker and sicker, the Seeds getting closer and closer..!"

"If the Seed gets Alexis, he maybe able to use her communication with plants to find the Moonstone Locust before it activates." Master Fung stated, before he quickly picked up Alexis and looked towards the others. "We must protect the Shen Gong Wu and Alexis at all cost."

Just as Master Fung started towards the Meditation Hall, the entire area started to shake.

"Alexis, go inside and prepare to leave..!" Master Fung declared as he placed Alexis down on her feet, giving her a shove towards the Meditation Door. "We will try to hold off the Heylin Seed as long as we can. Now go!"

Alexis nodded her head at this, and managed to stumble into the Meditation Hall doors...Before they slammed shut behind her. After throwing a worried look outside as she heard everyone participating in a fight, the French-girl shook her head and made her way into the actual Meditation Hall and reached for the bell-

BAAAAM

Alexis jumped at the sound of the doors being slammed open, yelling in surprise as she watched vines snake into the Hall.

"Ohohon~ Zhere you a'he, ma petite fleur (my little flower)!" a male french-voice said from the vines, making Alexis take a defensive stance. "Now, now, come quietly...! Zhere es no chance of you vinning..!"

"ZO'AH'N VA-" Alexis tried to call out, yet stopped when a pulsating sensation erupted in her head. Alexis groaned in pain as she held her temple, only to blink when she noticed a large pink and green flower before her.

" Bonsoir! (goodnight)" with that a pinkish mist sprayed into Alexis' face, causing the Nature dragon to cough violently...Only to then faint into the vines that were already prepared to catch her. With that Gigi (what Jack named the Heylin Plant) laughed as he then slammed the Vault door's open, and extracted the Wu from within.


"This must be what had happened 15-hundred years ago..!" Kimiko stated as she and the others watched Gigi drag out their Shen Gong Wu.

"Well, we ain't about ta let some tumble-weed beat us!" Clay declared, only to gasp when he and the others watched Gigi pull out-

"Nani!" Raimundo shouted out, watching as the vines seemed to carrying up the passed-out Nature Dragon.

"It is time to kick plant butt..!" Omi shouted out, the others running past him...Only for him to glance at Raimundo. "That is, if they have them..."

The group all began climbing up the vines, yet...Well.

"Zhere es no point to resist..!" a small Gigi flower declared as it popped up beside Kimiko. "Come on, you know you can't win..!"

"You a'he finished~" when the 3rd flower was done speaking, the 3 small plants then blew a yellow/green mist at Kimiko, causing the Japanese girl to fall off.

"Su'ah'endah..!" a flower decided to bud beside Clay, soon gaining another companion on the other side of the cowboy. "Eet es ovah..!"

Then, once another bud blossomed, the 3 flower did the same thing to Clay as they did to Kimiko.

"Oh-oh-oh..! I just remembered, don't touch the flowers...There's something unusual about them..." Dojo commented from his height, only for Kimiko and Clay to realize what he meant as they tried to get back into action.

"Now ya tell us..?"

"I'm turning into a plant!" Clay and Kimiko shouted out, their legs sprouting roots as their bodies stiffened.

"Oh yeaaaah, that must be it..!" Dojo chimed, only to fall when a flower sprayed him. Luckily the dragon landed in a pot as he and Master Fung (who had also been sprayed) began becoming ferns.

"See you latah Xiaolin Munchkies..!" Gigi exclaimed from above them as he withdrew the last of his vines..

"S...Sister..." Omi whispered out, tears in his eyes. He..He had given her his word...With a sniff, the Temple-boy wiped away his tears. "It is gone for now...But it will be back."

"Looks like we're not going anywhere either." Raimundo commented while looking around him and Omi, all of the others now in their plant forms...


Gigi now smiled as he watered a plant Jack and a plant Vlad, both of whom were inside pots. The 2 buffoons had REALLY thought that he, the Heylin Seed, would just allow them to control him forever...? HA!

"Well, eet es t'ah'ime to 'e'ah'ange zee o'ah'dah of zee food chain..! From now on, de plant kingdom will be on top..!" Gigi proclaimed, laughing evilly at this while spitting on Vlad and Jack. "And, to make mah rule complete..."

Gigi then looked over to the spot slightly behind him. "Mah queen will 'elp me viz eet all..!"

Jack and Vlad both stared in shock at Alexis beside him, the French-girl having undergone a..Change...

Alexis' eyes had an odd green hue to them, as did her skin, while flowers seemed to sprout from around her head to form a crown and a choker. Then...Well.

Alexis was wearing a dress that seemed to be made entirely of rose petals, a single green vine around her waist and bare ankles as she wore no footwear.

"Beautiful, no..? Mah belle es zee flowah above zem all." Gigi praised the hypnotized girl, cupping her chin as he kissed her forehead. "And, she es zee zing zat vill ensure mah reign..!"


This commercial break has been brought to you by Gigi, the only plant Alexis will hate.


Omi smiled a bit as he and Raimundo pruned and watered their plant companions.

"Do not concern yourselves, we will care for you until you are back on your feet..!" Omi's cheerful statement however, made a certain cowboy sad.

"Ah forgot what it was l'ah'ke ta have feet...And mah Sugar.."

"You two, Clay, are looking so much better!" Omi chimed, before plucking a fruit from Clay's waist and eating it without a care. "And I admire your tasty fruit..!"

"Well, just be careful what chu go pluckin' there partner..!"

"Master Fung, tell us what to do..!" Raimundo begged the elder after he trimmed off one of the branches growing from his Master's leg.

"Remain disciplined, learn from your mistakes." that was very good advise Master Fun- "And make sure we get plenty of morning sun."

"Ugh...I never thought watering and pruning your friends would be such hard work." Raimundo complained, only for him and the others to suddenly stare at Dojo as he vibrated...Then puffed roses from his hands and around his head.

"Oooooh~ You are mooost wonderous..!"

"Yeah, I know.." Dojo replied to Omi, before he looked at him and Raimundo. "But we got bigger problems..! The Moonstone Locust has finally revealed itself. The Wu can be used to unleash a swarm of stone locust, which will devour the Heylin Seed plant..!"

"We must retrieve the Moon Stone Locust at once and save our friends..!" Omi declared, only for Dojo to add something in.

"I hope you have other transportation, I think I'm getting root-rot..." Luckily, Omi had prepared for this and brought out the-

"CROUCHING COUGAR!" within moments, the Xiaolin Monk-plants and Dojo were inside a cart as Raimundo and Omi drove the cougar. "I promise, we shall return you all to normal.

"And if not, we'll be sure to turn your top soil once a month, and keep you insect free."...Reeeeal supportive Rai.


"The Moonstone Locust has revealed itself..!" Jack's new Detecto-Bot sputtered out, making Gigi growl in frustration. Why did he make Alexis go get more water and mulch 20 minutes ago?.! He could have probably gotten the Wu by now...!

"Baaah! Moonstone Locust..! Ah must stop eet befo'e eet can dest'ah'oy me..!" Gigi proclaimed, before smiling down at plant Jack and plant Vlad. "You, mah little flowah, you will show me to ze Shen Gong Wu with mah queen, no..?"

"Uh...What Shen Gong Wu..?" Jack tried to get out of this, only to gulp when Gigi suddenly uprooted him and Vlad.

"Take me to za Shen Gong Wu befo'e ah tu'ah'n you into p'uh'lant food..!" Gigi shouted out, before showing his hideous true-form to Jack and Vlad.

"Yes Master/Whatever you say Master..!" Jack and Vlad chorused together, just as Alexis came back with the water and mulch.

"You are such a weenie...I never want to speak to you again!" the Detecto-Bot told Jack before ripping off her mouth, throwing it to the ground, and walking away...Until, that is, a vine from Alexis shot up and ripped through her circuits.

"Don't you da'he littah." Alexis growled out, making the vine flick the Detecto-Bot's remains into a recycling bin.

"Ah, come mon petite, we 'ave a world to concur..!" Gigi told the Nature Dragon, who nodded her head as she jumped off of the stone wall in Jack's backyard, and landed on Gigi's shoulder. With that, the Heylin Seed uprooted itself onto 2 large legs and began it's journey to wherever the Moonstone Locust rested.


"Maybe we should slow down, wouldn't want to get a ticket..!" Alexis' ears pricked up at the sound of a certain flying dragon's voice, turning her head towards it...

...

"Ah, mah queen, you shall stall you'h old amis while ah get zee Shen Gong Wu..!" Gigi commanded, this allowed the Nature Dragon to hop off his shoulder and into a nearby branch.

With the help of the different plants and trees, Alexis moved through the foliage with a bridge made of the canopy...Only to spot the oncoming threat to the Plant Kingdom.

"No one messes viz Mozah Natu'ah..!" Alexis screamed out, making all of the Xiaolin Monks look at her as she threw her hands up. In mere moments, a large array of vines suddenly blocked the group's path. "YOU SHALL NOT STOP OOS!"

With a smirk Alexis then turned around, leaping through the large trees. From behind, she could hear the Xiaolin Monks getting closer...

Yet..

Alexis grinned as she reached for the Moonstone Locust beneath some exposed tree-roots and-

"N...Nani..?" Raimundo whispered out as he grabbed the Shen Gong Wu the same time as Alexis, staring at the girl in wonder.

"NOOOO! NO FAIR!" Gigi exclaimed from behind the two, before Raimundo snapped out of his shocked state.

"Yo-yo-yo Nani, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown..! My Falcon's Eye for your Thorn of Thunderbolt." Raimundo told the possessed girl, who growled at him.

"I accept eet, and I Shen Yi Bu da'e you..! Mon 'ev'ah'sing Mi'ah'o'h fo' you'h Gills of 'amachi."

"First one to find the Moonstone Locust, wins." Raimundo declared, getting into Alexis' face now as they yelled out together.

"Let's go, XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"


"GONG YI TAN PI!" Alexis and Raimundo exclaimed, before they both jumped down from the tall branches to look at the bubbling water below them, where the Moonstone laid.

"Falcon's Eye..!" Raimundo proclaimed, using the first Shen Gong Wu of the battle to look through the water.

"Come on Rai, you're a Xiaolin Warrior and she's a...A possessed girl..!" Kimiko stated from above, before Alexis used the Thorn of Thunderbolt.

The Wind Dragon ended up being propelled into the water, where he sat for a moment...Only to gasp when Alexis then sent a large tree toppling over him, forcing him to use the-

"Gills of Hamachi!" Raimundo then stayed submerged, leaving Alexis to jump down and use the vines to try and capture him.

"VHERE DID THAT LITTLE FOOL GO NOW?.!" Gigi yelled out from above, before Alexis pulled out-

"'EV'AH'SING MI'AH'O'H!" Alexis shouted out, and evilly grinned when she saw air bubbles rise up from the water. "Got you now, ZO'AH'N VALL!"

...

Raimundo yelled as he was suddenly shot up into the air by the thorned vines, along with-

"Tha Moonstone Locust..!" Gigi pointed out, grinning as the Shen Gong Wu flew into the air.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kimiko, Clay, and Omi all yelled as the Locust headed towards Alexis.

"Someone move..! I can't see a thing!" Jack demanded from behind Clay, frowning as he was missing all of the action.

Just as Raimundo was falling down, he kicked the Reversing Mirror out of Alexis' hands, making it hit the Moonstone Locust away from the Nature Dragon and onto a separate tree...Before he fell into the water.

Moments later, however, the Brazilian hopped back up at the base of the tree that the Locust was under in human form.

"Looks like, as zey say, game ovah..!" Alexis exclaimed, and pulled out- "Zo'ah'n of Zundahbolt..!"

"Oh, it's over alright...! Yet, I hope you can forgive me Nani." Raimundo started, before he brought back into the game- "Reversing Mirror...!"

"S-SACRE BLEU!" Alexis screamed out, jumping out of the way...And into the water.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Gigi yelled out in frustration as he watched a pinkish color appear in the H2O...Only to slowly fade away as Alexis rose back to the surface, looking around with a confused face.

"'uh...? V-Vhere am I...? 'ow did I get 'ere and-" Alexis was stopped when she then let out a groan, clutching her stomach once more. "Paaaaaaaaain..."

With that the French-girl just floated in the water a bit as Raimundo smiled at her, before knocking against the tree, making the Moonstone Locust fall right into his hands.


Alexis groaned as she was held up by Raimundo while carrying the Reversing Mirror and the Gills of Hamachi.

"It'll be alright now Nani.." Raimundo whispered to her, before grinning at the others as they showered him with praise and-

"Now THAT'S what I call having a green thumb..!" Kimiko jutted out from the rest, and gave Alexis a small smile when she glared at her. "Uh...No offense, Alexis.."

Suddenly through, the potted allies were smacked away by a vine coming from the True-Formed Gigi.

"Ah will not allow a BRAT l'ah'ke you to destroy all that ah have created..!" Gigi growled to Raimundo, who opened his mouth to say something but-

"Oh do not even GIVE ME ZAT!" Alexis shot back at the plant, stomping forward as she momentarily forgot about her pain. "I vaz zee one 'oo lead you to zee Shen Gong Wu, I was zee one 'oo p'ah'otected you, and I was zee one 'oo let you 'ule..!"

"Excusez-moi?.! LET meh rool..?" Gigi questioned, only to laugh suddenly. "P'ah'lease..! YOU could nevah take cont'ah'ol of all zee plants..! Oho-ahahahaaa! Silly little fleur.!"

Alexis' eye twitched at this, before nodding to Raimundo...And dove into a deeper part of the water..?

"I never could stand vegetables, you guys are SOOOO arrogant..!" Raimundo declared, before finally using- "MOONSTONE LOCUST!"

Alexis couldn't help but shutter a bit as she watched the white locusts devour Gigi until all remained, was the Heylin Seed...

"Say la vee, salad breath." Raimundo stated as he picked up the seed and placed it back inside it's box, Alexis roll her eyes a bit.

"Eeets, C'est la vie. Zat's life." Alexis pointed out as she stood up, walking over to Raimundo. "Boot, I am glad zat you vhere able to fix all of zis. I can't even imagine 'ow zee seed got out..!"

Of course, with that Alexis was being sarcastic...She had thought of a few ways it could have gotten out and-

"Sugar..!" Clay happily chimed as he wrapped his now-human arms around the French-girl, hugging her happily. "Ya don't know how much ah missed you."

"Sister..." Omi slowly whispered while walking towards Clay and Alexis, looking downwards. "I...I am sorry...I had given you my word that nothing would happen to the seed and-

"Omi.." Alexis started, noticing how the Temple-boy flinched, before she was put back on the ground by Clay. With that, she was able to get on her knees and look Omi in the eyes. "Eef you zink zat I am mad, you a'he w'ah'ong mon frere. I am 'elieved zat nozing bad 'ad 'apponed. Eef you all 'adn't gotten 'ere in time, 'oo knovs vhat t'ah'ouble zee vo'ah'ld vould be."

Omi sniffled a bit...Before slowly smiling at Alexis, who smiled back happily. "Now zen, vhy don't ve all go 'ome, ah..?"


Alexis smiled as she placed the box back inside it's rightful place, Raimundo having almost kicked it under the pretense that it was a Soccer ball only moments ago...Luckily, though, Omi had caught it.

"Uh...Nani..?"

"Oui, Raimundo?" Alexis replied as the dragon statue lowered his head, covering up the chest. Slowly then, she turned towards the Wind Dragon. "Es zhere a p'ah'oblem..?"

"No...But..Well.." Raimundo then began to rub his neck, staring at the ground they were standing on. "I...I'm sorry me and Omi couldn't do more ta help...A-And I'm sorry about going against your advice on leaving the seed here...And I-"

"Raimundo." Alexis quickly cut off the Brazilian, who looked up at her slowly. "Vhat es done, es done. Ve can't change anyzing now, and ve vhere able to get zee Seed back een eet's place. ZAT es vhat I am most vo'ah'ied about."

...

..

"Thanks Nani."

"No p'ah'oblem." Alexis declared as she and Raimundo then started to exit the Garden House, having already closed all the other doors behind them.

"Though, I ahve one question."

"Su'he, anyzing."

"Why did you dive into the water before I used tha Moonstone Locust..?" Alexis stopped at this question, before looking at Raimundo with a 'really?' expression.

"Zee d'ah'ess zat I vas vea'ing vas made of 'ose petals, and locust eat plants. Now, deux 'nd deux togezah."

...

"Ooooooh~" Raimundo chimed, smirking at the blush that rose on the French-girl's cheeks. "So, you were afraid of going, au natural around us, huh..?"

..

...

"Uh...Nani..? What are yo-HEY! HEY! NANI!" Alexis walked away from the yelling Raimundo, who was being held upside down by a vine. "THIS AIN'T FUNNY NANI!"

...

"NAAAAAAAAAAAAANIIIIIIIIIII!"


~Extra~

Alexis hummed while chopping up some fruit that she had found on the table, it was actually pretty good.

"Uh...Sugar..?" Clay softly asked as he entered the door, throwing a look to the fruit she was chopping up...Yet, this went unnoticed by her, due to her back being turned to him.

"Oui Cher?" the cowboy coughed uncomfortably as he walked up behind Alexis, hugging her while resting his chin on her shoulder.

"When do ya th'ah'nk we should tell tha others 'bout...Ya know, you 'nd me and.." Clay then stopped talking as he made a heart with his hands. "What happened durin' Christmas and all.."

...

"When Raimundo lea'ah'ns to be nice to Omi, o'h when Kimiko can put down 'er phone."

...

..

"So...Never.." Clay declared, realizing Alexis was saying all this to prove that they just shouldn't tell them.

"Oui."...Clay sighed a bit at this, before kissing Alexis' cheek. "Je t'aime."

And before Clay could respond, Omi came in.

"Oh, sister..! You are preparing the fruit that I got from Clay's waist..!" Clay's face when a bright red, as Alexis' turned a bit green...

..

...

..

X-X

Alexis finally came out of the bathroom, gasping a bit as she wiped away any vomit that was on her face. Dear lord...

This was the LAST TIME she'd eat an unknown fruit in this place, EVER!


~Extra 2~

Master Fung smiled at Alexis, who smiled back as the two stood before the others.

"It has appeared that due to the Heylin Seed mishap, that Alexis had decided to-"

"Give us chores..?" (Clay)

"Punish us..?" (Kimiko)

"Make us run around the Temple Grounds in our underwear..?" (Raimundo)

"Hug us?"...Everyone looked at Omi, who had the world's most innocent smile on his face it seemed...Before Master Fung continued.

"As I was saying..That Alexis had decided to help you all understand how to protect the Seed. By allowing all of you to help her guard it, full time." Master Fung declared, before continuing. "Which means that, while giving you a bit more work, Alexis will be a bit more free and allowed to join you on even the most outrageous adventures."

The group blinked at this, before smiling at Alexis.

"I 'ope I can t'ah'ust you all to 'elp me viz mon job and-" Alexis was cut off when everyone suddenly dog-piled under her, hugging her until she could breath. "Air...!"


Mayhemb; Next up, is a nice lil' New Years Chapter~ Until then, CIAO~
