A Change of Life

Chapter 9

Destroyed Sakura Temple Raimundo's P.O.V

What have I done? I hurt the person I loved, and cared for, but look what I have done to her. I'm a monster! I hugged Kimiko tighter and started to cry. I'm a weakling, like always, I'm always one, and it will never change.

"Well, I see that you broke my spell but you are still loyal to me so drop her and come." Chase said.

I turned around and growled at him. How could he? How could he be so cruel?

"How...how could you!" I yelled at him. "How could you be so cruel!"

He smirked and walked towards me.

"It's because my dear Raimundo, I'm Chase Young, the dark Heylin Prince." he said. "I would do anything to get my hands on the world. Trust me; I have no feelings for love and any mushy things."

He stood in front of me and I gasped. I never knew he could be so cruel, but I was too busy wanting to be strong, trying not to be a sissy, always running away from my problems. I was clouded with anger, wanting to be strong and cared about nothing. He gave me the power I wanted, the power to do anything. That's what I cared about before but not now, I have changed after I met Kimiko.

"Now Raimundo, choose your destiny, be with me or this annoying bunch of monks." Chase said, offering his hand to me.

I looked down at Kimiko, the gentle maiden who taught me the feeling of love. Then I looked up to Chase, who offered me power and control. He also taught me how to control my elements. To be with Chase or to be with Kimiko? I swore my loyalty to him but I love Kimiko too. What should I do?

"I...I can't decide." I said to him. "Please, give me time."

"No Raimundo, you must choose now. If you don't, I have to force you!" Chase yelled. "Ying Yo-Yo!"

He created a black portal and it sucked both me and Kimiko in. I landed in a black dimension with white circles of the Ying-Yang symbol. Then a black portal appeared again and I was once again sucked in. I felt nothing; I felt hatred and uncontrollable anger. I opened my eyes and I landed back beside Chase, with Kimiko in my arms. My robe stayed the same, a black robe with a red sash. Kimiko's clothing changed too. She now wore a black robe also and a red sash, the same as mine but the designs is different. Chase smirked and released Omi and Clay from my vines.

"Now do you see the true power of darkness Raimundo?" he asked me.

I nodded and let Kimiko gently on the ground. I stood in front of Chase and yelled:

"Darkness Typhoon!"

I started a large gale of wind and I pushed it towards them. They flew to the sky and I was about to attack them again, until their pet Dojo grew big and caught them.

"Oof, Oof, that's two 'oofs' out of three 'oofs'." he said. "Hey, where's Kimiko?"

"I believe that she has turned against us." Omi said and they lowered their heads and left.

I looked down at my lover, and saw her waking up. I helped her up and both of us knelt in front of Chase.

"What should we do know Master Chase?" Kimiko asked him.

I looked at Kimiko and smiled. I knew she's the perfect girl to become evil. I looked back at Chase and he said:

"We will go back to the castle and do what Wuya asked for," Chase said. "Then we will be training our young Kimiko here to use the power of the Heylin."

"Brilliant plan Chase, we must hurry with my revival." Wuya said and both I and Kimiko got on Kage and we left, going back to our castle, holding both the Serpent's Tail and the Reversing Mirror.

Xiaolin Temple

Omi and Clay returned to the temple silently, none of them would talk about Kimiko. When they landed on the temple grounds, Kaz came running to us.

"Guys, where's the Reversing Mirror?" he asked us.

"Well, you see partner, we lost it." Clay said.

"Lost it, how?" he asked. "Who did you loose it to?"

Both Omi and Clay lowered their heads and wouldn't reply.

"Come on, this suspense is killing me. Where's the Reversing Mirror?" Kaz said.

"What is the matter young ones?" Master Fung said as he reached them.

"Omi and Clay won't tell me where the Reversing Mirror is." Kaz replied.

Master Fung looked at them and said:

"Where is Kimiko young ones?"

Omi and Clay turned their heads away from both of them and didn't reply.

"Yeah, where is Kimiko?" Kaz said.

Minutes passed, until Clay had the guts to tell them.

"Kimiko...Kimiko, she was taken to the Heylin side."

Both Kaz and Master Fung gasped.

"How...how did that happen?" Kaz asked.

"Hate to break it to you Master Fung, but Chase used the Ying Yo-Yo to turn them to the Heylin side." Dojo said.

"Master Fung, what is the Ying Yo-Yo?" Omi asked.

Master Fung sighed and explained the yo-yo.

"It's a very dangerous Shen Gong Wu, it allows the user to go to the Ying-Yang world and depending on which yo-yo the user uses, their chi gets left behind. If you use the Ying yo-yo without its sister Shen Gong Wu, the Yang yo-yo, then you leave your good chi behind while you have your bad chi."

"So you're saying that both Kimiko and Raimundo's good chi are in the Ying-Yang world?" Clay said.

"Precisely, and if we don't get their good chi back, then they will stay in the Heylin side until we get their good chi back." Master Fung replied.

"That no good, rotten Chase Young. He's even worse then Jack Spicer." Clay said.

"Young ones, we must not dwell in the past, we must concentrate if we ever want to get Kimiko and Raimundo back." Master Fung said.

"Yes Master Fung." all three of them replied and went in their rooms.

Master Fung turned around and looked up at the moon.

"Please be safe my young warriors, because with the Heylins getting stronger, the battle has grown more dangerous." and walked back to his room.

Chase's Castle Raimundo's P.O.V

When we got back to the castle, the first thing we did was revive that hag Wuya to her true form. Master Chase held the Serpent's Tail while she's near the Reversing Mirror. Chase ran towards her and yelled:

"Serpent's Tail! Reversing Mirror!" they yelled at the same time. I closed my eyes because of the bright green flash. After the flash, Wuya was in her human form, she then took off her mask. Neither way, she looked ugly.

"Finally, I'm free. Now go my Rock Golems!" she said. She lifts her hands. Me and Kimiko got into a fighting stance, but it didn't come.

"What! Where are my Golems!" she cried.

Master Chase chuckled and walked stepped forward.

"Heh, I knew you would summon them like you have in the past of I didn't revive your full power when the two Shen Gong Wu collided. See," Master Chase said holding the Reversing Mirror. "The Reversing Mirror didn't break so I didn't full revive your powers."

Wuya growled and looked like she would attack him. Both of us stepped in front of Master Chase, ready to protect him.

"Don't bother you two; she won't even lay a finger on me." He replied.

"Fine Chase, you got me. But seriously, you do have such loyal kids with you." Wuya said and walked towards Kimiko.

I watched her lift Kimiko's chin up so she could get a closer look at her. I growled at her, making sure she won't harm her. She then turned her head and looked at me and then moved her hands away from Kimiko.

"Loyal indeed." She spat and walked out of the throne room.

"Forget her Raimundo; she's not worth my time." Master Chase said. "Now Kimiko, it's time for your training. She nodded and followed Master Chase to the training room; I of course, followed them.

I was watching my Kimiko training with Master Chase, and I was happy to see her by my side. I watched her flip and dodge his attacks and she amazes me so much. After they were done training, she walked towards me and flicking the sweat off her forehead. Once she reached me, she gave me a peck on the lips and smiled at me. I looked at her and smiled too then turned and knelt in front of Master Chase. Kimiko copied me and did the same thing.

"Excellent work Kimiko, you have really done well in training." Master Chase said.

"Thank you." Kimiko replied.

"What should we do now Master Chase?" I asked him.

Before he could reply us, the gate of the castle opened and we took our fighting positions. There stood was Jack Spicer, looking at us while holding a bag.

"What do you want rodent?" Chase asked him while walking down the stairs with us following him.

"Uh…Chase Young, can I call you Chase? Well, I'm here to give you these Shen Gong Wu's so I can work for you if you want extra help." He said nervously.

Chase signalled me to grab the bag and when I looked inside, I saw some pretty nice Shen Gong Wu's. There was the Thorn of Thunderbolt, Lotus Twister and the Sweet Chimes.

"Master Chase, it seems that Jack has the Sweet Chimes." I said to him. He smiled and signalled me to bring it to him. I brought the Sweet Chimes to Chase and he said:

"Even though the Shen Gong Wu's are strong, the Sweet Chimes is all I need." Chase said. "Dear Kimiko, would you mind showing our guest the door out?"

"Yes Master Chase. Shadow Flames, Fire!" yelled Kimiko and sent tons of meteors at Jack. Jack screamed like a baby and ran out without the bag of Shen Gong Wu.

Chase laughed and held up the Sweet Chimes.

"Raimundo, Kimiko! Come here, I have an assignment for you."

We stepped in front of Chase and knelt down.

"I want you to get the Mind Reader Conch from the Xiaolin Monks and you will take the Sword of the Storm and the Star Hanabi, understand?" Chase said.

"Understood." we replied and got on Kage and headed to the temple.

Xiaolin Temple

When we reached the Xiaolin Temple, Kimiko shook at the sight. I went beside her and hugged her, knew that she be frightened to see this dump again. We went to the vault and noticed that the baldy was there, guarding the vault.

"Sweet Chimes." I whispered and held the chimes in front of me. Soft melodies came out and Omi stopped in his tracks. He wobbled a bit and soon fell asleep. We snuck in the vault and I rung the same pattern with the vault's chimes and the stairway appeared. Before we got a chance to go down, the cowboy of the group just had to show up.

"Well I say, what are you two doing here?" he asked.

"It doesn't concern you cowboy, we just came here to grab the Wu and go." Kimiko said. "Sweet Chimes."

The same melody came out and Clay wobbled and fell asleep near the door. We went down and opened the drawer for the Mind Reader Conch.

"Easy pickings." I whispered to Kimiko and we quickly got out of the temple, before that Kaz and Master Fung found out.

"Mission Accomplished." we both said and gave each other a quick kiss on the lips as we headed back to the castle.

Jenrya282: Hiya readers! I'm back from my exam and I think I did pretty well. This might sound strange about Kimiko being in the Heylin side too but it's just getting to the best part so stay tune for the next chapter! Ciao!
