Enter the Future

Chapter 5: 50 Years

Note: Bold is Aletia's thoughts once more. This is what happens in the past.

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown. I also do not own any of the characters. I only own Aletia and her Shen Gong Wu minus one and any new ones, Jenkins and anyone with Chase with no actual point, and people in the Renegades. Thanks!

Aletia walked over towards Jenkins, whom was shocked at her skill. He gulped, pulling his amber hood further down. Aletia noticed his nervous self, and frowned, even though it was not able to be seen dew to her silver hood. "So, are you going to tell me, or not Jenkins?" she asked, wondering if he was so scared of her that she'll kill him after he tells her. Jenkins sighed.

"It started 50 years ago. You had been thought to have been killed, and the others mourned of your death. They still do to this day as a matter of fact..."

What! They're still alive! That's great! But, they should've been able to defeat Chase Young! Why did this happen!

All of the Dragons' were crying over Aletia's death. Zen, whom had been freed from the Lunar Locket to look at Aletia's lifeless body, was trying his best not to cry. He swallowed hard and walked towards her body, moving some hair from her eyes. Omi looked at her body; was this really the girl he had seen trying her best to stop the pain without joining Chase Young? Chris was looking at the girl whom was like her. May was crying for she was only a child and deserved to be in her care of her parents, if they were alive to do so. Raimundo was trying his best not to cry yet was failing miserably. A girl so powerful had to die so young. Kimiko was also in tears for the 11-year-old girl. She spoke to her like she wasn't a rich girl, but like her. Clay was having a few droplets of water on her rosy cheeks. How could Chase kill someone, let alone a girl

"So, what shall we do with the body? Should we burn it? Or keep it as a token of punishment!" Chase Young laughed. Everyone glared at him, going a fighting position.

"We'll kill you..." Zen said. He thinks no-one deserves to die, but Chase Young had made many people suffer; he deserved no mercy. He launched himself at Chase, just grabbing the Lunar Locket out of his hands. Chase cursed at this, but continued on to fight them. Suddenly Wuya and Dojo were shaking terribly.

"SHEN GONG WU!" they cried furiously. Two Shen Gong Wu had been activated; the Immortality Bracelet and the Devil's Ring. The bracelet allowed one to have their lives excelled longer than should, while the Devil's Ring makes someone weaker, makes them more vulnerable to rage, yet keeps them to the side of Evil. The group went into two; Dojo, Kimiko Clay and Jillian, while the other was Omi, May Chris and Zen. Chase Young was away trying to get the Immortality Bracelet, while Zalak went to get the Devil's Ring.

"Come on, we need that bracelet!" Dojo cried, as they ran towards the Woods of Haven. The trees had silver flowers that shimmered in the sun's light. A bracelet was seen lying upon the mossy grass before them. On the other side, however, Chase and his part of the team were prepared to go get it for themselves. Kimiko made a sprint for it, as did Chase. They held onto the bracelet at the same time. They stared into each others eyes, seeing the concentration within each other.

"Chase Young, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" Kimiko muttered. Chase looked at her. He then said,

"I accept. Name your game." Kimiko had to waste no time thinking of a challenge. An image suddenly appeared in her mind.

"A race. My Star Hanabi against your Cure of Osirus. Do you accept?" Chase stared into Kimiko's sea-blue eyes. Grinning form ear to ear, he said,

"I accept!"

"... The details of the Showdown are not known, so I cannot picture what had happened. All I know is that Kimiko lost, allowing Chase to live forever until he wants to die. Their hope was nearly lost then. However, they did not know how the other group did, meaning they could at least get the Devil's Ring..."

I guess it was only natural that Kimi lost. She was facing Chase Young, and he is a difficult opponent. And of course, he has had more practice than Kimiko. So... basically Kimiko thought she could win in a race against Chase Young, thinking that she was faster. Why, however, had she not used the Jet Bootsu? Shy would have a greater chance at winning, not that it matters now. But, how did Zen and everyone cope?

The second group was running in a peaceful, yet humongous valley, with water a flowers dotted around the place. Zen was ahead of everyone, with an unknown force of determination. He ran faster as soon as he saw a something glimmer. When he got there, and grabbed hold of it, he stood still analyzing it. He was red, and had the crest of the Devil upon it. It reminded him of the opposite of it, an angel. That angel reminded him of two other Shen Gong Wu; The Angel's Ring & the Angel's Tunic, both originally belonging to Aletia at the beginning of this war. Aletia. Droplets of tears fell from his face thinking about her. This very quickly became rage. He was angry. Not only at Chase, but at himself. He should have been able to break from the spell, not be obedient with the enemy!

"Well, look who's angry," a sly, irritating voice said ahead of Zen. Before Zen could look away from the ring, a hand was also clutching it. Zen growled,

"Zalak, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" Zen said, finally looking upwards, as if he were taking a breath that he had needed so long! Zen looked into the eyes of his blood-loving brother. Zalak grinned.

"I accept."

"A fight. My Golden Tiger Claws against your Ring of Ganno."

"... Unfortunately, I cannot give away details about their Showdown, as they too, are unknown. However, Zen lost, dew to a reminder of you."

... He lost... 'Cause of... me? But, I thought... my death would cause... happiness for all? No, this is isn't the future! It can't be! This is a dream, like what I had earlier, with the elements. Must... stop self from... screaming...

"Please, stop for a moment so I can take this all in..." Aletia muttered as Jenkins was about to continue. He did so, waiting to continue. When Aletia nodded silently to him he decided it meant he could continue.

"Then, with you being dead, he ruled the world..."

Chase Young was sitting on his throne, laughing at all his slaves. By this time, he had ruled the world for two years. He had become aware of a group called the Renegades; a group trying to stop him from ruling. He chuckled at the thought of it. As he was to busy having fun, he hadn't noticed two people run behind him.

"You really sure we can pull this off, Chris?" one of them said. He had spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. The boy had a no sleeve collared shirt that zipped up, a black pair of pants and black hiking boots. On his wrist were black wrist warmers, he also had a sword and a pair of 9 mm semi-automatic hand guns by his sides. The girl he was talking to also had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore mostly black. She glared at the boy, muttering,

"You don't know until you try Dav. Now come on! We need to get the Immortality Bracelet!" Dav nodded, and they continued running. They soon came to a vault. They both looked at each other, nodding. Chris then got something out of her pocket. It looked like a tail of some-sort.

"Serpent's Tail!" she cried. All of a sudden, she was ghostly. She shivered. Chris didn't like ghosts. Never have, never will. She went through the ground and looked around for a silver bracelet. Dav on the other hand looked out in case of anything happened. He tuned in all senses so that he could hear a pin drop meters away. Suddenly, Chris came back up, holding the Immortality Bracelet, startling the Brazilian. She giggled a little bit, but quickly shook her laughter off. They both nodded. Dav soon took out what seemed to be a glove. It was platinum and seemed to have claws. Before he could say anything, a guard came marching in.

"Freeze!" he yelled. Dav smiled sheepishly, saying,

"I prefer to heat things up a little, PLATINUM TIGER CLAWS, FIRE!" he used his Shen Gong Wu and swiped it in the air. Fire was created in the swipe and was heading towards the guard. The guard luckily ducked, but when looked they weren't there anymore.

"We got it!" Chris said to the group before her. They all cheered. Well, nearly all of them. She looked at the one with wolf-ears and a wolf-tail to match. "What's wrong Zen?" Chris said seriously. Zen just shrugged. Suddenly, a girl with Hazel eyes popped in, saying,

"It's about Aletia, isn't it?" she smiled. Zen glared at her.

"May, why would I be upset about her at a time like this? We did get what we wanted!" he snapped back. May backed away a bit, but kept smiling.

"Zen, she wouldn't want you to be sad, so you gotta believe in yourself. Sure, it would be nice to see her kind smile now and then, her positive attitude able to cheer anyone up, and welcome them back. But she's dead now. Don't make her death a sacrifice!"

To darn right! I wouldn't want him to be upset over me!

"... They then used the bracelet to make themselves immortal. They will only die when Chase Young has been stopped. Until then, their knowledge shall grow, yet they shall not age. Since then, we have been fighting Chase, hoping to find a way to stop him!" Jenkins ended heroically. Aletia nodded.

"So, this is what has happened during the 50-years. I wonder if I can help."

"I would be fantastic if you could!" Jenkins smiled. Aletia smiled too.

"I guess it would..." she trailed off...

... Well, that explains a bit... Well, sorry if you guys got confused with this, as it was REALLY hard to right this. (Sigh) Well, I won't update this 'till I get the 2nd chapter on my other fic, Hidden Memories. Please R+R!
