"I have decided on what your punishment will be, Stella." Master Fung announced. They were all in formation, Stella taking the front to be ridiculed. She straightened up, ready to receive what cruel and unusual punishment Master Fung had for her.
"Your next town pass was suppose happen next weekend. You will not be using it anymore." Master Fung started.
"Yes, Master Fung."
"You will spend the next month cleaning and scrubbing the dishes, floors, and barracks by yourself, with no magic. They all must be spotless by the end of the day."
"Yes, Master Fung."
"And one last thing. Hand over the ring of solaria."
"Wait what?!"
"You will not be needing it to teleport anywhere anytime soon. You will use other Wu during a hunt for the next sheng gong Wu, but not that one. You've been using it too much for a Xiaolin apprentice anyway."
"But it's the only thing the others can't use. It makes me feel special."
"Feeling like the bigger person when you haven't been here long doesn't make it right to the others. Now hand it over."
Stella sighed, defeated. She took the ring off and handed it to master Fung.
"Thank you. Now go start your punishment before training begins." He pointed to the kitchen. Stella trudged over to get started. By the end of the day, she was completely exhausted. She plopped down in her room, not being able to move a muscle. She heard the sound of a plate being pushed next to her. When she opened her eyes, she saw a cupcake, looking beautiful and delicious, sitting there.
"We thought you'd like it after a long day." Kimiko said, poking her head into her room.
Stella tried to get up, only to plop down from her muscles failing to obey.
"Typhoon boom. Wind" raimundo said, clapping his hands together to pick the fairy up. He set her down so she was sitting upright to eat the cupcake.
"Thanks, guys." She took the cupcake in her mouth, tearing up at the sweetness of the treat. "AND it's whipped cream icing?! You guys are the best!"
"It's the least we can do." Clay said.
"Alright, let's leave her to rest. Come on." Kimiko walked out and closed the curtain. "Goodnight, Stella."
"Goodnifgt" she replied, mouth full of cupcake. The moment she finished her sugary treat, she plopped back down, sighing of a brutal day, the first of many days. She used the last of her energy to dawn her pale yellow nightgown with her magic. Her eyes drifted away, too exhausted to stay open. The last thing she saw was darkness.
A few hours later, she felt something. Someone was shaking her shoulder. She groggily opened her eyes, only to see ember eyes staring back, inches from her face. Stella started to scream, but a hand went over it. It was Chase, wondering why she was late and still in bed, not with him. He scooped her up and flew outside the temple gates, much to Stella's surprise, as she was still drowsy. Chase set her down gently when they reached their spot.
"Where were you?? We were suppose to train!" He yelled.
Stella yawned." I'm being punished."
"What?!"
"I told Master Fung that I was the one who came up with the idea to steal from the party, so I'm being punished for it. I got a whole bunch of chores to do plus my training. I'm exhausted." She explained, laying on the ground to get more shut eye. She woke up again to chase picking her up with his dark magic roping around her body and bringing her to him.
"Why are you covering for those monks? They don't care about you!"
"Yeah they do. That's why i did it for them. Cause that's the GOOD thing to do." She snapped. She groaned under his power, unleashing hers to overcome it. She got out of his hold and landed on her feet.
Chase smirked, holding his hands out to unleash more magic to her. She dodged most and caught one, neutralizing it. It made a dull yellow glow in her hands, and she threw it in front of him. He flew back, but caught him self before lunging at her. He tackled her to the ground, only for her to slip out and plummet him into the dirt. She brought his arms back and pinned them down, making chase cringe in pain. He transformed, throwing Stella off and roaring at her. Stella looked pissed and ran to him, only for him to swipe her away with his tail. She hit a tree hard, struggling to get up. She focused on her inner power, depending on the light of the moon above to take over. She pointed a hand to chase, who was charging, and white lights circled all around him. She stood up, allowing the streams of light to flow around her, blowing her nightgown all around. Chase stood in awe at the beauty she bestowed. Stella clapped her hands and the white light slammed into his chest, causing him to barrel backwards and lay on the ground. He looked up to see Stella saunter up to him. She took her small hands to lift up his massive reptilian head.
"Sorry about that. You weren't gonna leave me alone without a fight." She kissed his reptilian forehead, making chase close his eyes and turn back to normal. Stella smiled weakly before dropping to her knees. Chase caught her and cradled her in his arms.
"You really can't do much can you?"
"I'm afraid so. I have a month of punishment."
"I know what will help rejuvenate your energy."
Stella raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Chase carried her, bridal style, and floated in the air. "You'll see."
Chase flew for about 10 minutes. He landed, revealing a huge steaming hot spring. It had a small waterfall gushing out mineral water into the hot water. Dark lush plants grew around the fertile soil, soaking in the warm climate.
"Wow..this is beautiful!" Stella gushed
Chase set her down, walking towards the water.
"I've came to this place a few times, the rare occasions I feel weak and need to relax."
Stella rolled her eyes at that statement.
"Come. Soak into the water. You'll feel better."
"Are you going in too?"
"Do you want me to?"
"I'd feel better about it so I wouldn't be alone in the water."
Chase smirked. "Why are you so afraid of things?"
"I'm not afr-" she was cut off by the sight of chase slipping out of his armor, it climbing down to the ground. He was in his black briefs, already knee deep in the water.
"Well?" He said, a sultry tone coming out.
Stella pondered a bit. She wasn't wearing a bra under her nightgown, as it had padding to cover her goods when she's walking around. She didn't want chase to see anything just yet, but all her magic had been used to please his fighting quota. She waited till chase looked away to douse his face with the warm water to slip her gown off, cover her chest with her hair and jump in.
"It's about time you got i-" chase started before seeing Stella, smiling softly at him. She was nervous, looking away blushing.
"What is this?"
"I-I don't wear underwear underneath."
"You can't use your magic?"
"I'm too exhausted to. I can put my gown back on." She said, shaking from embarrassment. She hid her face to cover the fact that she was blushing hard. She heard water gushing and chases hands grabbing hers.
"It's okay. I won't do anything you're not ready to." He muttered, staring only into her eyes, not looking anywhere else.
"Promise?"
Chase nodded, before kissing her forehead gently. She laid back, relaxation finally kicking in. The warm water soothed her tired muscles. The sound of the waterfall made her very sleepy. And Chase sitting next to her, she was at peace.
About 20 minutes later, her muscles were finally energized and ready to go.
"Much better." She sighed.
"What I tell you? Now you'll be able to train more tomorrow night."
"Indeed." She smirked and went to straddle him. Chases eyes widened. Stella cupped his face and kissed his forehead.
"Thank you for bringing me here." Stella muttered.
Chase lifted her chin. "You're welcome." And gave her another kiss. She returned it, while wrapping around his neck. Chase laid his hands on her hips, trailing his fingers up her bare back. Stella giggled softly between kisses. She pulled back to look in his eyes, ember eyes staring back. She cupped his face gently.
"You really can be nice when you want to be." She said softly.
"Only to you. There's no reason to with anyone else."
"Well doesn't that make me special?" She said sarcastically before getting off him and getting out the hot spring. Chase looked over, seeing her in orange panties, dripping from the water, and her bare back walking over to her clothes. Chase felt himself get excited, so he looked away to try to calm down. It was so much harder to keep control when she was on him, so at least it was hidden in the water that she's not in anymore.
Stellas Magic was finally strong enough to make a difference, so she used her sun powers to dry herself. Light traced her body and lifted her up in the air slightly. Her hair flew above her, letting chase see a little side boob in the process. He smiled at her power and beauty. When she finally dropped down, she was fully dried, and put her nightgown back on. She looked at chase, who was still in the water to calm down.
"You're not coming out?"
"Im fine here." He lied
Stella rolled her eyes, walking over to the prince of darkness. His eyes widened, worried she was gonna see him like this. She leaned over and kissed his forehead.
"Well goodnight, Chase. I need to rest more before my second day of punishment."
Chase sighed of relief on the inside. "Good night, Stella. Sleep well."
"You too." She lifted up and flew away into the night.
