AU: yeah, so Chase is a bit out of character, I know this. Why? Is it because I suck? Partly. He's got a bit wacky, you see. Senile, if you will. Though his body is young, his brain is not, and he ain't too fond of our little Jackie, which should be obvious. As you may have noticed, I'm a dark, dark, mean, evil person. Why? No idea. But if this isn't your cuppa tea, then screw off, mmkay? I'm all stressed and that good stuff and constantly tired so I'm sorry if things are like, way late. Anyway. Leave some love and I will be your wiling slave for all eternity!
The ebon-haired
girl Kali slept on her stomach, head turned to the side, twitching in
her sleep from time to time. Around her, in separate cubicles, was
her best friend and the two newest monks. It must have been around 2:
30 am, judging by the position of the moon in the sky.
She
groaned as her body was lightly shaken, her name whispered by someone
to her left. Kali rolled over, opening her wide blue-grey eyes,
glazed with sleep, studying whoever dared shake her out of slumber.
After a moment, she recognized the crayola-red hair and really bad
make-up (which, she'll never admit, she'd tried before. And worn it
all that day. Anyway...) and sat up, staring up at him. "What're
you doing here, Spicer?" She whispered harshly, grabbing his
coat, puling him down onto her sleeping-mat.
"I gotta tell
you something..." He said, keeping his head bowed so she
wouldn't notice his black eye and fat lip, new additions to his
healing broken nose.
"Yeah, shoot."
"I sent Aden
and Tara, because, you know.. Raimundo and Kimiko are kinda, well ...
dead." He sighed, memories of Wuya's palace flooding back into
him.
"Yeah, I know, Arch and I hadda clean up the mess.
Thanks a lot." She sighed, lighting a candle.
"...You
gotta help me. He's got me all chained up. And I can't even speak or
he'll... hit me. He broke my nose..."
Once lighting the
candle, Kali took Jack's face in her hand, tilting it up to the light
so she could see where he'd been hurt. "That fucker. Hit 'im
back."
"Um. He's probably fifty times my
strength."
"Good point. Don't touch him, then. Try
talking to him? Wait. That's why you get hit. Well,. That
sucks."
"You're telling me. Anyway. I wanted to tell you
that I'm trying to help you out."
"How? Wait.. you want
water or something...?" Kali asked, worried.
"No
thanks... He's got all the Shen-gon-wu stored in a room in his
palace. Me and him are the only ones who know where. If you use them,
you can defeat Chase." Jack nodded, staring at Kali who just
looked thoughtful.
"The only monks who've had any training
with the wu are me and Archael."
"Which is why I'll only
take one or two at a time. He's got full trust in me, never checks
the vault."
"That's easy enough."
"But... I
have one request." Jack tried to smile, but his fat lip got in
the way and he failed miserably.
"Aye?" She cocked an
eyebrow.
"Can I have the Monkey Staff? Please?"
Kali
laughed softly at him, laying down. "Sure."
"Yes!"
"Shhhhh!"
"Oh.
Sorry."
"Yeah, you'll be real sorry when you wake
everyone and get your ass kicked."
He stuck his tongue out at
her, standing. "Tomorrow night, er, morning. Same time, same
place. I'll have the Wu."
"Aye, aye captain."
Jack
snuck out of the temple as secretly as he'd come, and Kali rolled
over again, clutching her blanket, already waiting.
AU again: Again. The more reviews, the sooner the chapters. I love you people!
