Chapter 2: recall lost memories

The throne was tall compared to him. It would be tall compared to anyone. He sat on it grinning to himself thinking of his accomplishments and waiting for his true prize. As for the crimson hair witch that stood in the darkened shadows of the pillars, this was a very different scenery than what she was use too. It didn't seem like an 'evil lair' to her fiery eyes. The two partners in evil, though they had the same ambitions, were very different people indeed. Chase Young, evil tai chi master, had once been on the side of good. Who's to know if deep down inside his cold, hollow chest lies a soft beating heart that is just in slumber. As for Wuya, the Heylin witch and Dashi's worst enemy had always been as heartless as she is now. Nothing could bring her back because there was nothing to bring back. It doesn't mean she isn't venerable though. Chase turned his attention towards the towering stone door, as if expecting something to burst through. Wuya did the same, curious to what her accomplice was so interested in. For a few moments nothing happened and there was a tension so think that not even a hacksaw could break through it. Then, a hailing furry of shard like rocks exploded from their frame. They bellowed towards the two at such speed that they had a hard time to dodge them and to keep their guard up for the intruders that caused it.

From the shroud of dust came a small figure that stared towards Chase. Soon a monk appeared with nothing more than his powers over water to protect him. As the dust cleared further, two more monks stepped into the light now seeping through the hole in the stone door.

"Chase Young, you will tell us where you have our friend and the shen-gong-wu!"

"My dear Omi. You really think I'm going to give up that easily?"

Omi didn't bother to answer the question and lunged for the half lizard. He just stood there smiling until a raging flurry of kicks and punches aimed for his upper body. He dodged each one carelessly as though it was nothing but the wind, still his eyes were closed and his arms intertwined. Down on the lower platform a furious collision of green on red fire poured down over both the Heylin sorceress and the blue-eyed xiaolin worrier. Pillars shattered like glass at their ferocious impact. As they battled on, the dragon of earth softly placed his hands in unison and summoned his chi. From his heart and soul gathered immeasurable strength. Then, it all seemed to explode from him like the flames that crackled at his ankles. He yelled, causing the power to rush from his hands as they slammed on the solid floor as though it was liquid. It rippled and then layers of it flew up along with shards of rock and boulders. They charged towards the distracted witch and pummelled her to ground leaving a crater in its wake.

Rubble was shaken loss from the rumbling ceiling over their heads. Pieces of the walls surrounding them started to break away leaving gapping holes through them to other chambers. Raimoundo could see an invisible shield reveal itself as fragments of stone bounced off, scarred of touching the chains. 'Must be the Heylin magic Chase was talking about earlier. There has got to be a way to break the spell' he began to pull more rapidly and with more strength than he did last time. He tried to summon his power over wind, but it was blown out by a sudden rush of electricity through his muscles making him cry out. Jack, now more alert by Rai's scream, held his breath while staring at Rai hoping he wasn't hurt. The Brazilians eyes shot open and he summoned all his elemental strength into one final effort. Tears glossed over his green eyes turning them misty. Small droplets feel from the pain of the muscle contractions caused by the electricity of the dark magic. He seemed to be failing in his attempt as the air around him began to die down. The whole room shuddered as a booming came from above. Chases true immense power was unleashed in a quake of fury. A slab of rock stared to loosen from its place. The rock was right above Jacks head and it was holding the whole ceiling in place. Raimoundo opened his eyes just barely wide enough to see Jack struggle to get free as the rock slid further and further out of place. Everything seemed to stand still. Time slowed to such a rate that it seemed he was sinking into an abyss. He felt something slowly rise up it his chest, demanding to burst out in a furious hurricane of rage. All wanting to save Jack's life. And it did just that. Wind whipped violently around the chains braking them into thousands of pieces. He flow up just in time to cut Jack from his chains before an avalanche of boulders crashed on top of them.

Tiny hands scrambled in the rubble of the fallen palace searching for his brother. Pale, dainty hands pushed rocks aside desperately looking for her best friend. Muscular hand smashed the debris hoping to find his buddy. But they found no survivors. They found no Raimoundo. They all climbed on their dragon and hovered over their bitter tasting victory. Yes, Chase and Wuya were dead, but so was their friend. Or so they thought.

Down in an open plain a few metres away from Chase's former lair lay a pile of rubble. Misty air began to seep out of the small gaps, followed shortly after by a furious rush of wind. The rocks flew off the top revealing an exhausted Raimoundo cradling Jack. Jack looked up into the green orbs that were staring into his red ones.

"Looks like you got out after all"

Both of them turned their heads sharply towards Chase. He was different though, but not in a good way. His clothing was torn in various places, only covering up half of his chest, one arm and his crutch. His eyes were gleaming with more fire in them than Kimiko after being told that her hair made her look like a demented lizard. He began to move closer, but very slowly. As though he was cherishing the moment. Both boys got up of the ground and stepped backwards in caution. A clang was heard under his foot, making him jolt his body around towards the object. It was the 'mist of recall'. Chase looked towards the ground as Rai picked it up.

"No!"

He roared and thundered towards the dragon of wind. Out of shock he called out,

"mist of recall!"

Chase pounced at him only to be knocked back by an impenetrable shield. Raimoundo's eyes went completely blank as the handle of the wu swirled up his arm and stabbed itself into his temple. Jack pressed up tight against the shield, worried to hell about Rai, and cringing as it entered Rai's skull. Everything went black.

His eyes shot open as though his brain just had a jump-start. Confusion spread across his face. He was in Chase's dungeon. But it was destroyed. He heard fighting in the distance. He recognised the two voices. It couldn't be. He ran further down the corridor finding, to his disbelief, himself fighting with Chase who was holding Jack over one shoulder.

"What the hell is going on? Wait I remember. The 'mist of recall' must have done this. So this is what I forgot."

He followed in pursuit. They were fighting into a chamber. The chamber they were in originally. Chase smiled cruelly and grabbed Rai by the neck, slamming him down on the slightly up-right table. He muttered some words and chains formed themselves tangling around Rai's wrists. The boy tried to use his powers but was electrocuted. Jack had just woken up and was already tied to the frame.

"What did you do to him? Is he gonna be ok?"

"Why do you care Jack? He doesn't care for you. He only came for the shen-gong-wu."

"You are one sick fuck!"

Jack struggled against the chains like Rai had never seen before. Even when the rock was going to fall on him. Its like he would risk himself to help Raimoundo, just like he did for Jack. Everything seemed to fit now. All the strange feelings, always looking into Jacks eyes, why Jack seemed more concerned about Rai's welfare than his own. It all made sense. Though he hated to admit it, he loved Jack Spicier.

Jack held up Rai's limp body and tears escaped his eyes. They flickered off his eyelashes when his eyes widened seeing Rai stir.

"Ugh… my head. Did someone get that license plate, I have just been violated."

"Rai, your ok."

Raimoundo looked at Jack and swore tears rolling down his face. He was always pathetic when it came to holding back tears. Rai got up to his feet, supported by Jack. He put his hands on Jacks shoulders and looked him straight in the eye

"Jack, you defended me didn't you?"

Jack nodded slowly still in a bit of shock. The xiaolin worriers were standing close by, having killed Chase only moments before. They all looked towards the two boys, curious to what their friend was doing. Raimoundo took in a deep breath and said,

"Do you love me Jack?"

Jacks eyes widened in shock. Where did that come from? He looked down and thought hard. Do I love him? I don't know why but it feels right. No, I can't love. I evil. Evil people don't love, and neither do i. He pushed Rai away from him and stepped backwards.

"Get away from be you gay fuck! Evil loves no one!"

Rai felt like I knife was just rammed into his heart, strangely enough so did Jack. Dojo landed behind him with the others on board. He looked at the ground and blinked back the tears hard. He couldn't look at Jack as the feeling of rejection rose in his chest. He jumped aboard the dragon and flew off with them. Rain clouds began to form and gather slowly. Light droplets fell from the greying sky onto Jack's face as he looked up sadly. He collapsed to the ground and punched it. Tears escaped his eyes as the rain came down harder and night crept in mysteriously. What have I done?
