Enter the Future

Chapter 2: Confessions

Note: Aletia's thoughts this time round. It too, is in Aletia P.O.V. Anything like this is the Wind's voice.

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown. Nor do I own any of the characters. I only own Aletia. Thanks for understanding.

Aletia was just thinking about the weird dream she had, while trying to get that horrible nagging voice out of her head, and was failing miserably. It seemed like it was trying to destroy her.

"It's all your fault your parents are dead. It's all your fault the only Wind Shrine in the world is destroyed with all students there dead. You only caused misery at all your other temples. It's your entire fault. And you know what? You'll only cause more trouble for your so-called friends. And they'll hate you when they find out all of your secrets!" this voice kept saying over and over again in my head. I tried to ignore it, but it didn't work so well.

Aletia finally went out of the room, wearing her silver robes from the Wind Shrine that voice kept nagging her about. She made sure she was still wearing her necklace; her leather black gloves with no material covering them were the thumb, pinkie and fore-finger, and a ring. The dragon of Wind smiled as she had all these on, and headed out to where the others were.

Chase Young was watching Aletia as she seemed to struggle about this. He laughed at this, thinking about how he could put this to his advantage. While he was doing this, he failed to see Alliyah walking by with Zalak trying to chat her up.

Alliyah had been hurt how Zen just left, but kept it within her. After all, she'd saved his life, and had a crush on him, but he turned out to be like most guys. Alliyah then got annoyed about Zalak talking to her.

"Zalak, shut up." she said, walking further ahead. Zalak stopped, as Alliyah herself continued on walking. He growled, and then turned away; thinking about what his brother had done to him. He hated him, and then remembered when he tricked him in battle, which made Zalak a bit happier.

"Oh, he will pay..." Zalak said smirking. He bared his sharp teeth; dried blood from the people he had killed before he had come to join Chase was on them.

Aletia looked around for her fellow dragons, and then tried to find a strategy to find them.

Everyone in this temple, most of them anyway, hang around Chris. And the others will supposing be watching them do this. So, all I need to do to find them, is just listen to the sound of chatter!

She thought this, but the nagging was in the background of it. Aletia followed her strategy and soon found the others, as well as girls from a part of Chris' so-called Fan club speaking Japanese. Aletia gave sigh of relief. Oh, she was so glad she couldn't understand Japanese. "Hey!" Aletia said, alerting everyone. Zen ran over to her, while everyone else tried to help Chris get out of the crowd. Zen said to her,

"Hey Aletia. Wanna try and help us get Chris out of there?" A strong smile appeared on Aletia's face. She agreed. Aletia turned into Wind, jumped into the air, turned to normal, grabbed Chris' hand, turned into air again, and used her good speed to get out of there, and turned them to normal again. Chris thanked Aletia for this.

"No time! Your fans are going to run me over to get to you!" Aletia kidded. Everyone came along with the girls.

"Well, we better find Dojo; he wants a word with us for some reason." Kimiko said, on the right side of Clay, while Jill was at the other side of him. Both girls looked happy to be beside him too.

Chase Young was still watching everyone at this temple, only this time, Rose was resting her head on his lap, as he petted her. Rose purred like a sweet kitten as he did this. "Soon, I'll find a way to get rid of her, and then they will be even weaker." Chase said, an evil smile spread across his face. Dav was walking by, hearing this.

"And who is this girl?" he inquired. It probably was May of Chris but it could be Aletia. After, all, she did do that powerful punch in the jaw. Dav rubbed his chin. It slightly burned, which he cursed at. In pain for something an 11-year-old did. Chase saw this and grinned at him like he had done when Dav had punched him.

"Oh, you will see." was the reply Dav got from Chase, making him even more curious. Omi, whom was at one of the many entries, (most of which are USELESS!) has heard it, and was not frightened for not only for the warriors' life, but mostly for his sister's.

"Aletia? Aletia, I know you can hear me!" a kind, gentle voice said. A young girl looked around to see where this voice was coming from.

"Not now Wind! Dojo's trying to tell us something!" Aletia thought. The Wind heard, and left a cool breeze around the warriors. They all shivered, but continued to listen to Dojo.

"Dojo, why do you want to talk to us alone?" Jill asked. Dojo looked at her with a stern look. Jill shivered slightly. Sure, it was great being a monk, but why did this have to be with all of them?

"Well, Jill. There's a new Wu that is extremely dangerous. It's called the Scroll of Elements. It allows the user to control an element at their will. If Chase gets it, then he can use the element that beats your own one against you. Seriously not good when you're in this position." Everyone's eyes widened with shock.

What the hell? Why is there even a Shen Gong Wu with that power? Dojo should have kept all of these dangerous Shen Gong Wu with him! Along with the Shen Gong Wu scroll, of course.

"Shen Gong Wu!" Wuya screamed, as she came running into Chase's throne, Josh following her. Chase looked at her with annoyance spread upon his face.

"I know. The Scroll of Elements. This time, everyone come along." Chase commanded. All of them followed. Dav came up to Chase, the Platinum Tiger Claws on his right hand.

"Where to?" he asked. Chase smiled.

"To the hills of Scotland..."

"Wind? You still there?" Aletia asked Wind. She could talk to the Wind like she was telepathic. She really isn't, but it did mean she wouldn't have to talk out loud.

"Yeah, I'm still here. I know you're hiding something. What is it?" Aletia growled at this, but continued this conversation.

"Well, it just that I think I just cause trouble. And that I shouldn't be here. A nagging voice in my head keeps reminding me of what happened before, and it's driving me crazy!"

"Aletia, why would you leave?"

"Because if I did, no-one would get hurt like mum, dad,Uncle Eskani... You know!"

"But, Aletia. Everyone would be doomed if you weren't here." The Wind soothed. however, it didn't sooth Aletia.

"NO THEY WOULDN'T! THEY WOULD ALL BE LIVING! GO AWAY WIND! I WISH I HANDN'T TOLD YOU OF THIS CONFESSION!"

YAY! I got reviews! I feel so loved! Thanks guys. Please R+R!
