The monks teleported back to the temple, yelling and screaming in victory for the side of good.

"Oh my gosh i can't Believe it you guys did it!" Stella yelled, grabbing omi and hugging him.

"WE did it, Stella. You were a big help distracting everyone!" Clay said, putting his hat back on after throwing it in the air.

"Yeah! And taking care of the guards when we were coming back to you! That was awesome!" Omi stated, doing karate moves in the process and almost falling out of stellas arms.

"Guys, look at all the Wu we've snagged!" Raimundo yelled. He opened up to reveal all the Wu they've lost to in showdowns or attempts to retrieve them. They stood around in awe.

"What is this I hear about my students breaking in and stealing things??" A voice rang out in the night. Everyone jumped and turn to see master fung, standing there with an angry look on his face.

"Uh well, you see, we-" Kimiko started

"We broke into panda bubbas party to retrieve the Wu they had in a safe room. All the evil villains were there defenseless, so this was the perfect opportunity to take back what was stolen from us." Stella said, walking towards master Fung. He smoothed his gotee, pondering.

"I see. But, do you know the repercussions of these actions, should the heylin come back to raid US as well?"

Stella hung her head. "No sir."

"Indeed. I fear you may have caused a bigger rift in the heylin and xiaolin battle. And for that, you will be punished. Who was the mastermind behind this whole thing?"

Stella looked in the corner of her eye to see Kimiko looking afraid. She knew Kimiko wouldn't live if she didn't have her Earth technologies 24/7. She knew what she had to do.

"It was me, Master Fung." Stella announced before Kimiko could say anything. Kimiko looked at Stella with confusion.

"Is that so?"

"Yes. I distracted all the villains while they got the Wu and got us out with the ring of solaria. It was all my doing and influence." She said.

"Is this true, young monks?" He looked over at the others, who saw Stella wave her hands behind her back to go along with it.

"Yes, master Fung." Kimiko, Clay, and Raimundo said in unison. Omi was looking super confused at this point.

"Very well. I expected better things from you, Princess Stella. With you being the oldest of the xiaolin dragons in training, I expected you to lead by example. I am highly disappointed in you." Master Fung said. Stella Bowed slightly.

"I am sorry to have disappointed you."

"Now, off to bed with all of you. I will tell you your punishment in the morning."

"Yes, Master Fung." She stated before corralling all the monks towards the barracks. When he was out of earshot, they all panicked.

"Why'd you do that!? I was the one who planned it! I should be the one in trouble, not you!" Kimiko yelled.

"I didn't want you to lose your privileges. I know how you feel about your PDA."

"But you shouldn't have taken the fall!" Clay said

"I did what I had to do to avoid y'all from suffering a severe punishment. I do care about you guys. This one is on me, ok?"

The monks sulked their heads before group hugging Stellas legs and waist. Stella looked surprised, but smiled and gave into the hug.

"I'll put the Wu up. You guys go to bed." Stella announced, taking the bag from clay and raimundo.

"Don't take too long." Kimiko said. And with that, they parted ways. Stella walked to the other side of the temple towards the vault. She opened the vault and put all the Wu into their place. She sighed and went to head back upstairs, before bumping into someone in the chest. She looked up, and it was not only chase himself, smiling down on her.

"Why do you keep coming here!? Are you not afraid to get caught!?" She whispered harshly. She was answered by a shove to the wall and chase kissing her roughly. Stella didn't expect this, eyes bugging out at him. They fluttered shut as chase pushed her more into the wall. He grabbed her face and kept kissing her till she couldn't keep up. He finally pulled back, panting profusely.

"Dear god, Stella. Why do you do this to me?" He whispered

"What do you mean?"

"Dressing like this. The way you danced tonight it was...magnificent." He kissed her again. "You looked so damn beautiful onstage. I couldn't keep my eyes off you."

Stella started blushing. "You think so?"

"Oh yes. It took all I had to not take you far away from that place." He kissed her again, pressing his body onto her, not caring if she felt him get excited.

"Do you know how hard it was to not touch you like this?" Chase grabbed her neck and kissed her again. He just couldn't stop. She didn't stop him either, she was enjoying this.

"Didn't know you cared this much." She said, smiling an evil grin at him. He glared at her.

"You are the most important thing in my life now. In the 1500 years I've been alive, i have NEVER. Met a woman as amazing as you. Stella I-" he stopped and let go, already saying too much. Stella leaned closer.

"You what, Chase?"

"I..love you.." he muttered. Looking away, embarrassed that he finally admitted it. He's an evil mastermind. He's suppose to not have mushy feelings like this. He felt Stellas hand on his chin, making him look into her eyes. They shined in the blue lights of the vault.

"I love you too, Chase Young." She whispered. Chase smiled, grabbing her waist and twirling her around in the air. Stella giggled softly, as to not make any loud noises. He set her down gently and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Glad we both agree." He said, holding her hands in his.

"Me too." She sighed. She looked away with a nervous giggle.

"I-it's getting late. The others will start to wonder why I'm not back yet."

"Of course. I will see you tomorrow night."

"As always." She said smiling at him. He leaned in for one last kiss for the night.

"Goodnight, Stella." Chase said, before disappearing into thin air. Stella sighed, hating the moment had to end so soon. She locked up the vault and headed back to the barracks. A simple twirl and she was already in her nightgown. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep, the image of chase young filling up her young mind.
