Chapter 03: Chasing Wuya
"I'm tired of all this monitoring and coming up with absolutely no results." Chase declared with a hint of irritation in his voice.
Within the main chamber of his palace, Chase Young motioned for his savage informant away. Although untamed and unable to speak fluently, the beast-man was deft at surveying enemies, a skill that Chase found most useful.
Since Omi left was left free, Chase Young has been spying on the Xiaolin Temple to find a weak point to bring about the fall of the Wudai Warriors. But to his dismay, he could not find a way to bring down all four.
"I could just steal the Lunar Locket and use it to sink Japan to the bottom of the ocean and drop the moon onto Texas and other rural areas, but that still leaves one monk whose weakness I can't exploit because I do not know it!" he yelled, his rage no longer in control.
"Why do you need to crush them all?" Wuya inquired as she entered the room, "Surely destroying three monks would render the fourth completely useless."
"No," Chase replied, "Although Omi is currently the strongest of the young monks, Raimundo has elemental potential that remains to be tapped. As for the remaining two monks, I'm sure being exposed to Omi's martial arts expertise and Raimundo's mastery of his element will boost their own skills as well. All four must be removed if I am too advance my conquest of the world. I will not repeat my mistakes. The one obstacle that stands before me is not knowing Raimundo's Achilles' heel.

"Couldn't we just swipe the Fountain of Hui along with the Lunar Locket?" Wuya suggested, making no effort in hiding her eagerness to steal Shen Gong Wu.
"Yes…Yes! With the Fountain of Hui and the Eagle Scope, I could unlock this mystery and destroy the Xiaolin monks! I have said it before, but I really do like the way you think, Wuya. If both of us were not Heylin sorcerers working to shroud the world in eternal darkness, I would say that I love you."
"Well, Chase, if you care that much–"
"No Shen Gong Wu," Chase answered with an annoyed tone before she could ask. "The only one I am concerned with is the Fountain of Hui…"
Wuya's enthusiasm for the plan was immediately extinguished.
"I suppose neither of us know what 'love' is…"
Something clicked in her mind.
"'Love?' Chase, that's it! It's not WHAT's giving Raimundo strength, it's WHO's giving it to him. It's–"
Chase realized the direction of Wuya's words and a dark smile covered his face.
"Kimiko…"
