A guard was walking around the Cemetery, a laser gun in hand. He was going to make sure that no-one got near the body of the Lord's first victim, which had died 50-years ago. He looked at her body, thinking why that body of an 11-year-old girl was A) Important to the Lord B) why had it not rotted? He looked as the girl's features. Short, brown, curly hair, her eyes shut softly. He looked at her delicate structure. She wore old fashioned clothes, yet they looked cute on her.

A soul was examining her wounds from a battle before her capture in this black cell. She had only done this for a few minutes. As she was finished with her examination, she noticed she couldn't feel anything. She was purely numb. A slight chill ran through her body. It was... weird. She didn't understand anything. As if like magic, she was suddenly sitting on something, leaning her back on another thing. Her eyes shut in an instant. Her nerves were reacting drastically, making her frightened as she had been before. She then heard...
"I wonder... Would the Renegades want to examine her body?" the guard spoke aloud. The body began to move slightly. The guard didn't notice this, but just kept walking along the rocky path in front of the body. The body stirred, moving. Her sapphire eyes finally seeing light that she hadn't seen for so long.

"Where am I..." she stuttered, confusion in her voice. The guard turned around, scared of this. Why had she risen? Wasn't she dead? The girl looked around, trying to figure everything out. She then saw the guard. "Hey... Hey you!" she cried. The guard pointed his gun towards her, yet she still ran towards him.

"What do you want, girl?" the man managed to say.

"Where am I?" the girl asked. The man lowered his guard. He thought about the renegades, thinking he should take her to them.

"What's your name?" he said kindly. The girl thought for a while, thinking. The guard looked at her strangely. He had only asked her a single question, was it really that difficult to answer? Her answer soon came.

"Aletia, Aletia McCulloch."

The Lord was sitting on his throne, an evil smile across his face. The world was under his spell, his control. Thanks to two Shen Gong Wu, he was able to kill one of the Xiaolin Monk, while the other Wu kept this place dark, the moon shining brightly, causing the other to become a beast. He smiled, yet gave a sigh of disappointment. He truly didn't want to kill the monk, in fact, he wanted her to join him, but even after 9 years of trying to do so, she still denied. Of course, if he hadn't done this, maybe he would not be here, ruling the world.

"Um, my Lord?" a scared voice echoed in the halls of the Lord's throne room. The Lord turned to see a guard, frightened for his life.

"What is it?" he asked, frowning.

"The... the body... it's gone, as is the Guard supposing meaning to guard it!" He stuttered. The Lord raised an eyebrow, anger raging within him.

"We will find that body, or else my name isn't Lord Chase Young!"

"What?" Aletia said anger in her voice. The Guard stood back, while the man wearing an amber robe was standing before her. His gaze kept on the girl who'd risen from the dead, if she was dead. It could answer why her body didn't rot, if she was somehow still living.

"Like I said. You've been missing from this world for 50 years. Much has happened in that passage of time. But before I tell you more, you must where this." the man said, handing over a hooded robe. Aletia took this, putting it on quickly.

"O.K. Jenkins, oh Head of the Renegades, trying to defeat the Lord. Now what?" Aletia said, getting very impatient. She didn't have a clue what was going on, so she did kinda have a reason to be upset. Before Jenkins, the man in the amber cloak could speak; an army of Jack-Bots came swarming in.

"Jack-Bots!" all the people in the Renegades cried. They all screamed and shouted in fear, running all over the place. Aletia tilted her head.

"You know, they're only Jack-Bots. Nothing big about them, or destructive! They are so easy to destroy!" she said. A Jack-Bot was holding someone, prepared to take them away. Aletia growled. She charged at the Bot, punching it with practically no strength. It dropped the person, making Aletia able to hear their gasping. Aletia stuck her tongue out, making the Jack-Bot chase her. She ran with great speed, causing all of the Jack-Bots to chase her. She just laughed, like she was having fun, which she was, sorta. Jenkins watched as she did this, and said

"Is she really... one of them?" Aletia then was surrounded by them all. She grinned, and actually giggled.

"SURRENDER! YOU ARE TRAPPED! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE LORD!" one of the Jack-Bots said. Aletia smiled a sweet, gentle smile. She suddenly pounced at the robot, destroying it with great power. The other robots attacked her with guns. The young girl beamed, dodging the bullets with great elegance. Soon, they were all destroyed.

"Easy!" was all she said. She pulled her hood up, making sure no-one could see her face. She had a strange feeling that she needed to have it over her head, or else she may never be able to go home!

"I believe... you are the one..." was Jenkins said. Aletia turned, beaming, her sapphire eyes sparkling. A cloak shimmered within the light the light bulbs were creating.

"So, about what's happened?" was all she said, before she walked closer to Jenkins...
