The Time has Come

Smurf-Chan

The Kiss between Fire and Earth

After Dav had said that to Raimundo, Raimundo was in shock. His friend that was his childhood friend hated him so much that he would turn evil because of him. Rai looked so scared as Dav held him by his shirt and looked at him with such evil in his eyes. Aletia stared at Dav, she thought he was her friend, but who would do that? Hurt a friend because they were mad, or jealous of them. Raimundo then found the words to speak. "What did I do?" He said with such hurt in his eyes. Dav then shook him and said.

"You know what you did!" His glare piercing. "You KNOW what you DID!" His teeth gritting and his eyes now hot with tears. "You take EVERYTHING! Everything away!" He then looked down at his feet and then back at Raimundo, he then threw him on the ground. Raimundo screamed as he fell on his back, he still didn't understand what this was all about. When he turned evil, there was a reason, and he voiced it, but with Dav, he was hiding it well. There was no reason, no reason at all for Raimundo to believe that he was angry with him. Then it hit him, all those times he was so cold to him, it all started when…

/Flashback/

May went up to Rai after he went to sit down. "You okay?" She asked him as she sat down next to him. Rai didn't really say anything. So May stayed quiet for a moment then said. "It's okay, I'm sure everything will be okay." Rai shook his head

"I do care for her a lot, but now that she went back to her former self. She doesn't remember everything that we did, nothing that I hold dear." May smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"It's not all that bad." Rai then blushed and said.

"Whatever, nothing will be right again." He then got up and walked away.

/End Flashback/

Raimundo's eyes widened, was it because of that! Was it because of that kiss May gave him? It was suppose to be friendly nothing more, she was just showing her concern for her friend. Rai then looked up at Dav and said. "Dav! It meant nothing!" Dav just glared.

"It meant something to me." Dav then held his hand at Rai's face; his hand was slowly making fire to shoot at him. Aletia was getting angry and as her anger grew, her Angel's Ring fell off her finger. Her fury was unleashed, as she then punched Dav in the face. Dav fell on his back and blinked at Aletia and then rubbed his now swollen jaw. "Aletia?" He asked looking at her. "Why? This battle isn't about you!" She glared and said.

"He's still my friend, as you once were." Dav's eyes just widened, as Aletia was getting ready for another attack upon him. He then got up and blocked her attack and then said with force in his voice.

"This has nothing to do with you!" She glared back and said.

"It has EVERYTHING to do with ME!" She then pushed back Dav and jumped into the air and yelled. " TORNADO FURY!" Making up several tornadoes to attack Dav, he just stood where he was and watched as the tornadoes surrounded him. Aletia was on the other side of the tornado fencing glaring at Dav, but then Dav just smiled as he then snapped his fingers and his once red flame was now black as it formed to his hand. He then bent down on one knee and placed his hand on the service, the ground glowed a yellow tint then it was gone. He then stood back up and with the same snap of his fingers fire impounded everywhere; everything was now on fire or exploded from that blast. It almost knocked everyone down; Aletia's tornadoes were no more. She was on the ground beside Raimundo, trying to get herself back up. Chris who was in the middle of fighting Zen's beast form was knocked from the blast, but Zen was able to stand upright. He was just to powerful in this form, not even added agility could help Chris, she then slowly got up, but before she could recover Zen had raced towards her and slashed her hard making her fall a couple feet more and land on her back. Chris lost focus and she changed back to her human form with the scroll in her hand. She then got back up and rubbed her head, Zen was coming again and she was able to move just in time, but only by mere seconds. Dodging him was not going to be easy as Chris kept jumping out of the way from his attack, but he finally got her in the leg and she fell back down landing hard on her chest. She gasped as the air left her body, she was now weak and out of breath, she needed to recover quickly, but that battle was not faring well at the moment. She then was able to turn onto her back and look at Zen coming at her; he was about to lease his full fury upon her. She stared into his red eyes and said.

"ZEN!" She yelled but it wasn't any good, he couldn't hear her. All that could be heard now was the pounding of the earth as he pummeled her with all his might. Clay and Jillian were doing their best to keep Josh at bay, but Josh kept trying anyway possible to get rid of Jillian. He wouldn't even bother with Clay, but every time Clay got in the way he would try to pound him with his weapon. The blast then came, which knocked everyone down, but they got back up and continued with their bout. May and Kimiko with the fire burning in the back, were fighting with Alliyah as she kept trying to use her Zodiac Talisman, but every time she wanted to get an animal to do her bidding May or Kimiko would kick her before anything could happen. Chase smiled at his new ally, he was a better pick after all, but he still wished to have Aletia. He grinned at the sight.

"This is better than what I could of hoped for." He then looked at his little minion Omi with a scared Jack Spicer behind him. Chase then glared at Jack and his stupidity, but then focused on Omi. "Do you want to do the honors?" Jack then looked up at Chase and grabbed the Amnesia Crouter and the attached Cure of Osirus and replied.

"I would love to!" Chase then grabbed the wu away from him and said.

"Not you, you baboon!" Jack looked weepy as Chase handed over the wu to Omi. "You can do the honors, my little minion. Make sure to get Fung good." Omi gulped as he stared at Chase. He really wanted him to use the Amnesia Crouter on the elders so that everything was now complete. He had Omi now, which was all he could of hoped for. Dav was just a big bonus. Soon the end of the world was going to come, ominous clouds could be seen over head as Omi then walked with Chase a couple feet behind him to where he knew the elders would be. He then tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open. He then turned around and gave a huge grin.

"I believe I cannot open the door my Master. I guess we will be leaving and coming another day?" Chase then glared at Omi and then walked to the door and kicked it down. He then grinned at Omi and gestured with his hands to let Omi go in. Omi giggled in humiliation then walked in to find all the elders were ready for the attack. Omi then glared at them and pointed the Amnesia Crouter at his former Master. He looked down and said mentally to himself. 'Forgive me, my Master…' "Amnesia Crouter!" Soon every elder at the temple had lost their memory; Chase's mission was done. Everything was complete. His world rein was soon to come to pass; no more elders to get in the way, without them the Xiaolin Warriors were nothing. Chase then walked out with Omi at his side and Jack following them. Chase then called out to his allies.

"Everything is complete, we will leave these warriors now. Come… Dav, Zen! Let's go" As Chase started towards the entrance with Omi by his side, Zen had stopped pummeling Chris and followed his master in his beast form out. After Aletia got up, she found Dav was already at the door; he looked back and then grinned an evil grin and ran off. Before Josh left he slapped his sister and said to her before he left.

"I will kill you one day… That is a promise." He was then gone, all of Chase's minions were gone and the warriors were battered and bruised. Aletia then noticed her ring was missing and stumbled on the ground looking for it, when she finally found it and placed it back on her finger, she then noticed Rai was rubbing his head from the attack Dav did to them.

"Where did he get that kind of power?" Aletia frowned and helped him up.

"He possibly always had it, but it was controlled." Rai frowned; now two of their allies were gone to Chase Young. How many more were going to leave them to go to the dark side? Then it started to rain, not just a drizzle but it started to rain hard. As the thunder rolled in all the remaining Xiaolin warriors were trying to recover from the attack. Kimiko was helping May get up and help her with some burns she had when the blast over powered them. The temple was a mess, everything was burnt or blew up, and there was nothing but ashes. Dav really did a number on this place, who knew that any of the new warriors had that kind of power, which made Rai worry. The reason for his worry was because that Aletia who was next to him didn't seemed to concerned with how much power he wielded. It still surprised Rai at how powerful Aletia was, even though she was only of age eleven and the others were of fifteen. What were they going to do now? Then it came to him, they were missing one warrior. It was Chris, last he saw Chris was fighting that beast Zen, but now she was unable to be seen. Rai ran around the burnt temple grounds looking for Chris, but soon when he turned a corner an arm could finally be seen over a massive mountain of ruble. Up came Chris holding her stomach but then vomited on the ground. Zen had punched her stomach so much that he made her ill, she wiped her mouth from the yellowish liquid and stumbled out of the crater. She was disoriented and finally collapsed to her knees after walking a little. Rai ran to her to try to help her up, but was unable to keep her from shaking, Chris just stayed sitting. Aletia ran up to Chris and looked at her with sadness in her eyes. "Are you going to be okay?" Chris looked up at Aletia, dust covering her bloody face and replied.

"I'll be okay." But Aletia knew better, Chris was really hurt, more hurt than Chris would admit to it, but that was how Chris was; pain meant nothing to this earth warrior. May then ran over to them with worry on her face, her frown was full of sadness as she asked the group.

"Did Dav do what I think he did?" Rai and Aletia nodded to her, then May looked at her feet. She was such a loner, but now one of her best friends was now gone, she never felt so alone. First her brother, now her best friend; it didn't seem right. "Why did he go? Why did he turn evil?" She then thought looking up. "Why did he side with Chase?" Rai lowered his head and thought about the question and tired to think of a good answer, but when nothing came to him after awhile he decided admitting the truth was the best thing to do. He looked back up and replied.

"He thought I liked you, and you liked me." May was confused.

"He doesn't want us to be friends?" Rai then smacked his head and Aletia frowned then stepped up and said it a little more clearly.

"He thought you were boyfriend and girlfriend." She then turned to Rai and said. "Apparently he wanted to be your boyfriend." May then blushed.

"He… What!" May said in an outburst. "He wanted…" Then she quieted for a moment and then blushed. "He wanted to be…my…b.." She couldn't finish her words and went flushed. Chris who was hearing all this mushy stuff went flushed too, it was embarrassing to have it pulled on you, but when other people were talking about their love life… it just wasn't right. Chris then coughed and was feeling rather uncomfortable at the certain situation, but then an outburst could be heard out of the quietness of the group. Kimiko had just went to check on the elders when May was talking to them about Dav, had came running out and stopped just a couple feet away from them, breathing hard then looked up and replied.

"The… The Elders!" She managed to say through giant gulps of breath. "They…. They.." Rai then went up to her and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Okay, calm down! What happened to the elders?" Kimiko's face looked horrid with worry and replied.

"They lost their memories!" Rai's arms fell back to his sides, the elders were gone now, and they couldn't help them anymore. Everything seemed to be going down hill over and over again. It just couldn't seem real, how could this of happened? Were they not careful? Rai then felt lost and sat down were he stood, and rubbed his forehead.

"Now what are we going to do?" He asked his companions, Chris who was still sitting looking at his worried face, but how could she blame him for being so worried? Everyone was worried now, the elders at the temple were gone to them, and they were alone in fighting this battle, this horrible battle with Chase Young one of the most evil of all evils there was. Chris then thought of the elders and it reminded her of her Master in Japan something that Chase had not thought about, there were still other elders all over the world where she and the rest of her companion were until now. Except for Jillian, who did not know anything of being a monk, but apparently she was the key to their success, she was their only key to defeat the darkness, but how she would do this, they did not know. Chris thought a moment and gave a little grin and said to Raimundo trying to get herself to stand again.

"There is something Chase has yet to remember." She said to the group as she got herself up and was leaning on a pillar that had it's top blown off. Everyone looked at Chris with interest; apparently Chris knew something they didn't know. She gave a grin and said. "We have the other elders." Everyone blinked and was confused. Rai then scratched his head and then put a hand on her shoulder and said.

"I think you hit your head to hard, Kimiko said that all the elders lost their memory." Chris then got angry, for one Rai was touching her which was a huge no-no for her, and two he thought she was mad, so with that she kicked him in the face with the remaining energy she had left in her and collapsed back to the ground. Rai was holding his now broken nose, which was making blood go everywhere; while falling on his butt and Aletia was trying to help Chris back up. "Girl! Why did you do that?" Rai said getting annoyed. Chris just glared back and said.

"Because there is one thing you forgot to realize, 'RAI'" She said his name with such rudeness and her eyes were filled with anger towards him. She then growled and looked at Aletia who was much better at listening. "You guys forgot that the elders here were not the only ones in the world." She then looked at Kimiko and said. "We still have my elder Master Shung, and May's Master Tong." Then Chris growled again and said. "And our so-called-friend Dav's Master Dutong." Everyone was silent, until Chris spoke again. "I'm sure our masters will help us." Kimiko looked at her and nodded, anything was better than staying here. It was a dump, and they couldn't leave the elders here by themselves, nor any of the wu here alone. Kimiko then asked.

"What about the elders?" Chris then replied.

"We're taking them with us, the elders at my temple will take care of them." She then looked at the rain filled sky and said. "Plus it's closer to go to Japan from here." Kimiko nodded and replied.

"But how are we going to get there? With the elders and the Wu? We can't expect Dojo to take us there with all that!" Chris then grinned and said.

"We won't have to use that means." Kimiko blinked and was confused.

"Why?" Chris then said.

"We have the Golden Tiger Claws." Kimiko grinned for not realizing and then grabbed Raimundo to prepare the wu for departure. May went to get Clay and Jillian to try and round up the elders to go. Everything was to be packed before they leaved, because they weren't coming back for a while. Chris then tried to steady herself on Aletia who was helping her walk and went to the rooms to pack everything there. May then ran to find Jillian and Clay, but before she got to close she heard sobbing and slowed down. She looked behind a shrub to where the crying was coming from and saw Jillian cry into her hands. May frowned and felt horrible for her but didn't know why she was crying. Then she saw the huge Clay trying to comfort her, he put an arm around her shoulder and untied the handkerchief from his neck. He handed her the handkerchief and allowed her to rub her tears onto it.

"You gonna be okay?" Jillian was still crying and felt her swollen cheek that her brother had slapped her.

"I…guess.." She said silently, Clay almost didn't hear it because she was speaking so softly. He then put her in a hug and allowed her to cry on his shoulder, of course this shocked her and she blushed madly. Clay then rubbed his hand on her head and said.

"It will be okay, we'll find a way to get your brother back." He then pushed her off him so she could look into his eyes. "And I promise he won't ever hurt you, okay?" Jillian smiled and replied happily.

"Okay.." May then came from behind the bush and said.

"Sorry to interrupt anything romantic." With that Jillian and Clay blushed madly as May continued. "We have to round up the elders, Chase used the Amnesia Crouter to make them lose their memories. So we're getting ready to go to Chris' Master's Temple." She then stuck out her tongue with all the confusing metaphors. She then turned her back and said. "We best hurry, finish up the romance, then come and help me." Jillian and Clay blushed again and then hurriedly followed May to get the elders.

As soon as all the elders, all the wu, and all their stuff were all together Chris at that time was able to hold herself up, put on the Golden Tiger Claws and swiped them. "Golden Tiger Claws!" She shouted and soon Kimiko and Rai took the wu and went through the portal, Clay, Jillian, and May took all the elders and herded them into the portal and went in themselves. Aletia with Chris by her side grabbed all their things and went in after all the others. Soon they were at the Kihaku temple, all the elders were wondering around the temple picking up things like dumb children and looking at them with content. One of the elders found a rock and seemed to be proud of himself and was trying any mean necessary to keep it from the other elders. Chris frowned at the elders and put a bag down that she had been carrying though the portal when all of a sudden a loud shrill could be heard.

"CHRIS-CHAN!" A high-pitched girl came running in her temple robes and ran into Chris's arms and gave Chris a huge hug, but Chris was to shocked to return the favor, or she was still not use to being touched. The girl had short black hair and big brown eyes; apparently this girl was born in Japan and worked at the temple. "(Chris-Chan! I'm so happy to see you!)" She said in Japanese, meaning only Kimiko and Chris could understand. Chris then rubbed her head and said tiredly.

"Konnichiwa, Kamazaki-san." The girl named Kamazaki-san growled at Chris and said.

"YUKI!" She screamed. "(You call me YUKI!)" The only words that made since to everyone else was the word 'Yuki' as the girl 'Yuki' glared at the girl warrior of Earth. "(I told you a million times to call me Yuki! I thought we were better friends than that!)" Chris just groaned while rubbing her head, apparently Chris wasn't much of a talker here either. The girl named 'Yuki' then stood in shock as she looked at Chris and the others, but mostly Chris. "(What happened to you! You look like someone beat you up! Are you hurt?)" Chris just groaned and replied to 'Yuki' that something happened at the temple, but wouldn't press it; of course she said this in Japanese. Chris then turned to everyone who was dumbfounded at this display, she groaned again like it was a huge pain in the butt and said.

"This is Kamazaki Yukito." She paused and continued after looking over her shoulder to make sure the elders didn't get to far. "She's the daughter of my Master." Everyone looked at her weirdly.

"The elders can breed?" Chris glared and said in a mocking voice.

"Yes they can breed!" She said then glared again. "Well." She thought a second and replied. "He's not really a monk, he's a priest that allowed the monks to stay here, but he still trained me. My master's full name is Kamazaki Shung." She then turned as Rai said.

"His first name is Kamazaki?" Kimiko then hit Raimundo for her and said.

"No! That's his last name! Shung is his first!" Chris bowed her head and thanked Kimiko for explaining it to Raimundo for her. The girl that everyone thought her name was 'Yuki' then smiled at Chris and heard her say in Japanese.

"(So, who are your friends?)" Chris groaned as she told her 'friend' who they were and told her of the situation and that they did not have time for idol chitchat. 'Yuki' smiled and bowed and said she understood and went to go get her father. Chris and the others grabbed their things and walked with the elders towards the main temple. Rai then had to ask Chris something.

"Is she your friend?" Chris groaned that it had to come down to this and said.

"Not really." Chris said tugging on the parcel on her back to get a better grip. Rai was confused.

"But, she acted like you were best buds." Chris then glared at nothing in particular and replied.

"She's infatuated with me." She said walking with Raimundo at her side, who was just getting confused.

"Infatuated?" Chris nodded and said looking at him this time.

"She likes me." Chris said more clearly. "More than I can stand." She added that, as they got closer to the door of the main temple. Rai looked at her weirdly.

"Why do you hate her for wanting to be your friend?" Chris glared and said with an inpatient tone in her voice.

"She doesn't really want to be my friend… She really wants something more." Chris then blushed. "More than I want to explain… excuse me.." Chris said hurriedly towards the door that was now opening and out came Kamazaki Shung standing with his daughter at his side. Master Shung stared at all the new people that was before him and only recognized his student Chris.

"Aww.. Chris!" He said with happiness in his voice and speaking in English, apparently he didn't realize the warriors were bruised and battered. "I was wondering how you were fairing over at Master Fung's Temple." He then looked around and found a Master Fung smelling a flower he just picked. Master Shung smiled and went over to Master Fung and grabbed his hand and said happily. "Aww! Master Fung! So good to see you again! How is Chris doing over at your temple?" Master Fung looked at him confused.

"Temple?" Master Shung thought that he was kidding and said laughing.

"You know, your Temple." He then looked around and said. "Where is Dojo?" Dojo then came out from under Clay's hat and replied.

"I'm here, but sir… there is something you have to know…" Master Shung then talked over the dragon and said to Master Fung.

"I bet Chris is beating all your warriors you collected, she's one of the best I taught!" He said grinning and looked around. "Where is the chosen one? Omi… I believe.." Master Fung was big eyed not getting anything that Master Shung was saying to him. Master Fung then replied.

"Who's Master Fung?" Master Shung then looked at him worriedly.

"You are." Master Fung then dropped his flower and pointed to himself and said.

"I'm Master Fung?" He then noticed his necklace and how shiny it was and started to play with it. Master Shung looked at his friend with worry and then turned to Chris and said.

"What happened to him?" Dojo then replied.

"Like I was TRYING to tell you!" He said interrupting Chris before she could speak. "Is that he got shot with the Amnesia Crouter and has lost all his memory, same with the other elders!" Master Shung was shocked.

"How long ago?" Chris then replied.

"Not more than an hour." Master Shung then said.

"The Cure of Osirus?" Chris then shook her head 'no.'

"Oh dear.." Said Master Shung looking at Master Fung and placing a hand on his arm. "Yuki, please get the others and tell them to help me get the elders into the temple." He then looked at Fung and said. "We have to take care of them." Yuki nodded and ran towards another room in the temple. While Master Shung was trying to find anyway to cure the other elders the warriors were stuck at the temple for a while. Chris then cleaned herself up and went into her old room and was lying down on her old bed looking up at the ceiling and was trying to think of anyway to get rid of Chase. Of course Jillian was the key to getting rid of him, but still confused of what to do with her or how to get her power to work was confusing to her. It was hard to believe after all the years of training of all her warriors, plus her were unable to prepare for Chase. Chase was more powerful than anyone has ever expected, and he was growing in power. If they couldn't find a way soon, it was going to be to late for them. Then she thought of something she remembered while she was at the temple before fighting Zen.

/Flashback/

Chris then went down to where he was and put her katana in front of herself and glared at him. "Fight me!" She said as Zen just glared back at her. He then nodded and ran at her, but before he could take a swing at her Aletia was stumbling out of her room after hearing all the commotion and was holding onto a railing and looked out on the battlefield to see Zen about ready to take a swing at Chris.

"ZEN!" She yelled and he stopped and looked at her, Chris was shocked at how he had stopped and looked at Aletia. He really did care.

/End Flashback/

Chris then thought to herself and said aloud. "I can't believe he really does care for Aletia… but.. How did they meet?" She then looked at the window with a bird tweeting outside. "How do they know each other?" It was so complex for Chris to fully understand what happened to Aletia's past. The first day they met she was very cross with them about asking who her master was and so with that Chris never pressed that matter again with Aletia, but it still made her worry. It was possibly something the team needed to know about her. Anything at all to understand Zen and the situation. Zen did have a soft spot for Aletia and in the last battle he wouldn't fight, of course in the end he had to fight, which wasn't so lucky for Chris who was still showing bruises everywhere. Chris sighed as she thought about how the fight went, she wasn't too happy with herself. How could she let people push her around like that, she was suppose to be stronger than that, but of course there was the thought that she was trying to go easy on Zen because Aletia obviously had a soft spot for him too. Chris blushed again at the thought of their romantic influence and coughed in being uncomfortable again and then shook her head clean. She then stood up this time and thought about Dav who was now on the side of Evil. He was now too gone to the dark side like Omi, but of course Omi didn't really have a choice, but Dav left voluntarily. She then remembered Aletia saying how Dav liked May and because of a misunderstanding he went to the dark side, this again brought an uncomfortable thought in her head and she coughed again and shook her head clean. She growled. "To much romance here." She said to herself and walked out of her room and outside the temple where everyone was just relaxing. She then thought again about Zen, the only reason he fought with her was because of the Lunar Locket Chase wielded. If there was a way to get that Locket from him, maybe… She gave a grin and ran to find Aletia.

Back at Chase's layer, Chase was overly proud of his team he had with him. All the elders were now gone from the warriors and they would have a difficult time in trying to destroy this evil. One thing he really didn't understand was why an extra person was at the temple, meaning Jillian, but he let that slip out of his mind and think at the victory at hand. He was now free to rule the world to his liking and all he had to do was pick the new warriors off and destroy the rest. Everything was going the way he had planned it. His grin was one that Rose liked to see as she went to his side and purred like a kitten as he pet her on the head. She then placed her head on his lap as he petted her more. "Yes." Said Chase as he petted Rose. "Everything is in my power now. Nothing can stop me now!" He grinned as Zen who was now back in his human form with now a collar on his neck and Dav by his side. Zen looked like the world had come to an end, he didn't remember anything that happened while he was in his beast form, and all he heard was that the temple blew up, thanks to Dav. He was so worried about Aletia, he didn't know if he hurt her or if Dav had hurt her. He was really angry with himself, but also at Dav, if he laid a hand on her he was going to tare him limb from limb. Dav then glared back at Zen and said.

"What the hell are you looking at?" Dav said coldly to Zen, Zen just glared back and didn't say anything. "Well?" Dav said getting impatient. Zen just turned away with a huff and said nothing to him. Dav then went back to staring at the floor when someone came in, it was Zalak. Of course Rose was the first to enter when they got back, but now knowing Zalak failed to get the Devil's Tunic, but was more worried about his own wu was in big trouble with Chase. Chase then glared at Zalak and said.

"Where were you?" Zalak with a grin said.

"I was out okay?" He then looked around at his brother and then at Dav. He grinned at Dav and said with a smile. "New blood huh?" He said going over to Dav and examining him. "Did you get dragged here, or did you come on your own free will?" Dav just glared at him and said.

"What's it to you?" Chase was getting angrier as Zalak was speaking to Dav and said in a loud voice.

"Where were you?" He said standing up and almost knocking over Rose in the process. "Rose said you didn't get the Devil's Tunic, why is that?" He then added before he could reply. "You were more worried about your own wu to worry about one wu that could protect us from them?" Zalak just grinned and said coolly.

"Why would we need it now?" He said not really looking at him but picking his ear and continued. "They can't hurt us.." He then brought out his finger and wiped the matter on his brother who really didn't do anything this time and said. "And if they try, I'll kill them, especially that girl warrior of Earth." He said with hate in his voice when he was talking about Chris. Dav then added.

"You mean Chris." Zalak then said rudely.

"Whatever, like I care what that little tramps name is." He said with more hate in his voice. "I'll kill her!" He said making his hand into a fist. Chase who had clam down from his out burst earlier then sat down and apologized to Rose for knocking her over and was petting her head once again. Chase then said thinking a moment.

"They possibly have abandoned that pit now that use to be a temple, but I wonder where they could possibly go now?" Chase said wondering to himself. "Oh well, nothing but old news." He then grinned mostly to himself and said. "We have free rein over the earth now that the warriors are gone." Zalak liked that sound and said.

"Can I kill things now?" Chase grinned and replied with a yes, but not at that moment. There were more important matters at hand for him and his minions.

Aletia was sitting underneath a huge tree watching as some of the warriors were practicing their kung fu, and other were playing around, or talking to some of the staff at the temple. Raimundo at the moment was looking through the wu and picked up the Scroll of the Casca, he really wanted to know what it felt like being a cat beast; even though cats weren't his favorite animals because they smelled but he still wanted to try it. He then shouted. "Scroll of the Casca!" He then bit it and instead of turning into the beast he knew there was a 'Pop' noise and there on the ground was a tiny brown kitten with big green eyes. Raimundo didn't turn into the beast he had admired but into a little kitten. Aletia laughed at him as he went around the temple meowing because he didn't know how to change back. Aletia then went over to where he was and picked him up and sat back underneath the tree and placed him at her side and started petting him. He started to purr, but when realizing what he was doing he shook his head and tried to scratch Aletia. Chris then came running trying to find Aletia, when she did find her she also found the brown kitten with green eyes. Chris rolled her eyes and said.

"Honestly." She said and picked Raimundo up and said. "Focus!" She said to the kitten and then the 'Pop' was heard again and Raimundo turned back into himself. Rai blushed at her and she didn't really do anything and sat down next to Aletia. With the scroll still in his hand he went to go return it to the box. Chris then sat down next to Aletia and said. "Tell me about Zen?" Aletia glared at her and said.

"Why should I!" She said sounding rather annoyed. Chris didn't flinch at her rudeness, she expected it.

"I know you care for him." Chris said not looking at Aletia the entire time; the subject was not one of her favorites, she would rather not talk about it, but it was important to understand this. Aletia then looked down at her feet but stayed silent. "I'll stay here as long as it takes." Chris added to Aletia letting her know she wasn't going to give up on the subject and she might as well spit it out. Aletia glared again, but then her glare faltered and she then looked down at the ground and said.

"It is true.. I care for him." Chris was silent as she spoke. "I don't want him to be hurt anymore." Aletia said as tears started to form. "He was so hurt! People hurt him!" She said tears flowing now. "I just want his hurt to stop. I want his pain to go away!" She then pounded on the ground and said. "But Chase…" She gritted her teeth as her anger built. "He's controlling him! He's hurting him! He won't let him go!" Her anger made her start to scream. "I HATE HIM! THAT BASTARD!" Chris then grabbed a hold of Aletia and though how uncomfortable Chris was she allowed Aletia to cry on her shoulder. Chris wanted to so badly to say that everything was going to be okay, but she herself didn't know how to say it or to make it come true. She couldn't predict the future, she wished she did but everyone knew how that was impossible. Chris then thought now was a good time to tell her what she was thinking.

"I was thinking…." Chris started out. "That we can find a way to get Zen out of there." Aletia was fully listening now at the words 'get Zen out of there.'

"Yea? But how?" She asked getting to close for comfort for Chris; she was not very good at close contact. Chris then backed up and thought of something.

"Well." She said. "Why don't we try to take that Lunar Locket from Chase, that thing must be one of the reasons he has to control Zen." Chris then thought. "If we get that, maybe Zen will join our side." Aletia smiled and said.

"Thanks Chris, you're a good friend!" She then hugged her because she was so happy; they were going to rescue Zen. Chris then blushed a bright shade of pink when Raimundo and May came up behind them.

"We wanna go too." Chris didn't realize they had an audience behind them and glared at Rai and May.

"This 'was' a private conversation, but why not join in." May glared at her for being so rude.

"All we want to do is help and you ridicule us?" Chris then cursed silently to herself and said.

"I'm sorry." She said while breathing out. "I didn't mean to sound rude, but if you wanna help get Zen then you are more than welcome to help us." May then said silently.

"I also want to try and get Dav." Chris blinked and had one of those thoughts again and blushed at the thought but shook her head clean again and nodded. What was with everyone and romance? Chris then got up from where she sat, so the group to rescue Zen and try to get Dav to come back was Chris, Aletia, Raimundo, and May. Chris thought it best if Clay, Jillian, and Kimiko stayed here and watched over the temple while they were gone. Chris then told them that they needed to be ready before they decided to leave, so they must grab the wu they would need. Chris then took that moment to go find Clay, her cousin and tell him what was going on and to watch over the temple. Chris finally found Clay doing some of his Ty-chi with Jillian following his moves, Chris didn't wish to interrupt this because this move was to relax nerves and make reflexes more acute, but she knew she had to. She told Clay what was up and to make sure that the elders would be save while they went into the layer of Chase Young to try to get an ally. Clay then rubbed his head and looked worried.

"Didn't Master Fung tell you something about this at the temple when you tried to rescue Aletia? You know about looking before you leap?" Chris groaned and replied.

"One, I did rescue Aletia, and two I think leaping is a good thing to do at this moment of time." Clay then frowned.

"What if we need you?" Chris then grinned and said.

"You are capable to handle things on your own, you don't need me cousin." Clay smiled as she called him her cousin. Chris then started to go back to where the others would be, but turned back to her cousin and said. "Take care of yourself." Clay nodded and waved her off. Chris then went back to where everyone was and nodded to them bringing out the Golden Tiger Claws. She swiped them and they all soon were gone onto Chase's layer.

Soon they were at Chase's layer, with all the confusing tunnels everywhere. Chris looked around, she had no idea where to start in finding Zen, or Dav, or the Lunar Locket. She just looked at Aletia and the others. "So where do we start looking?" Asked Raimundo asking the question for her. Aletia was silent as she was listening to the wind to guide her to Zen, she then turned to them and said. "I'll go ahead and find him, you guys go find the Lunar Locket!" Chris just stared at her and then looked at May.

"Go help her find him, I don't want you guys to go alone in here." May nodded and both May and Aletia had gone down a tunnel together. Rai was shocked that Chris was partnered with him, maybe she didn't hate him as much as he thought, but she remained silent as they were looking for the locket. It was weird though when they were going through the tunnels they didn't see any of their enemies, it was possible that they were out reeking havoc upon the world as they spoke. Chris did know that Zen's brother Zalak was very violent, the prove was when he punched her and stole the wu she won from him. Like she cared if he took his stupid Ring of Ganno back, nor she cared about the Ring of the Nine Dragons. She was going to be careful though, many times he tried to kill her, but not yet the other warriors, and she wondered why he was targeting her mostly. She ignored the subject and just kept her mind on finding the locket, she really wished she knew where she was going the tunnels were starting to annoy her. After getting lost again and appearing in the same room about five times she growled. "Where the heck is this stupid locket supposed to be?" She said after entering the same room again. Rai shrugged and looked around the room, he saw about six doors and they used almost all of them, but one. He then pointed to the door they hadn't used yet and Chris just sighed and followed him in. The room they went into was pitch black, obviously this room wasn't in use, meaning the locket could be here, or something more dangerous. Whatever it was Chris didn't want to think about it, but she did wish there were light in the room, she then kinda wished Kimiko wanted to come too. At least she would have helped in illuminating every dark room they entered. Finally as if her wish was answered a huge burst of light filled the room, all torches in this room were lit, but by weird flames. All the flames were dark, but the light was shining brilliantly, and over in one of the corners was non other than Dav Spathi, his grin darker than his flames. He then slowly got up from the wall and walked over to Raimundo who got instantly defensive, Dav just grinned and gave a little chuckle as he looked at his now hated friend.

"How've you been, Rai?" He asked him not really caring if he gave an answer. "And the Elders?" He said not really waiting for a reply to this question either. He just grinned again and walked over to Chris and gave a smile to her and said. "How are you doing?" He asked her with a sly voice. "Is he treating you right?" Chris blinked and looked at him weirdly.

"What are you talking about?" Chris asked him not really understanding the 'treating you right' speech. He just grinned and said.

"You know what I mean, him, and you, and May." He said sounding like he was trailing on about a story of old. Chris was still confused not getting the meaning Dav was, she guessed, trying to explain. He circled around her, looking at her from all sides and grinned again to Raimundo. "I understand now why you like her." He said staring at a place he really wasn't suppose to. Chris then turned around catching him staring at her behind and glared.

"Don't!" She said with a stern voice, not really liking this and getting very uncomfortable with the whole situation. She blushed as he came closer and said in a husky voice, which made her blush even harder.

"Do you like me?" Chris blinked and gasped as her heart skipped a beat and tried to back up from him.

"What?" She said scared now, Rai then tried to intervene.

"HEY!" Rai said coming towards Dav, but Dav was able to use his flame to shove Rai into the corner of the room and place him on the wall, the flames binding him. He was unable to move from the wall to help Chris, who was freaking out now. She never liked anything like this that was why she never had anything to do with that, not even a friend in fear of this. Dav then grabbed a hold of her wrist and she flinched as he dragged her closer to him. He then repeated the words.

"Do you like me?" Chris blushed as her face turned a tomato color and her heart was skipping many beats this time. Chris felt paralyzed because of this situation, she really didn't know what to do and as her breathe started to hasten, he put an arm around her waist pulling her closer to him and kissed her on her lips. Chris' eyes went wide as he kissed her, she couldn't believe this was happening to her everything that was in her mind was lost. All that was left was shock and Raimundo was freaking out, he couldn't believe his use-to-be-best-friend was kissing the girl he had feelings for. Raimundo was struggling to get free from the binds that were holding him against the wall. Finally after it seemed like hours, but was only a couple of seconds he released her from his grasp and gave a grin to her. Her eyes still wide and then said in a soft voice.

"Why..?" She said then she closed her eyes as tears formed. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" She screamed at him and punched him in the face as he fell to the ground from the force of her punch. He grinned again as he got up holding his jaw where she had punched him. She then wasn't gonna take that lying down and went over to him and kicked him in the gut, then in the head, and then punched him in the back, all with as hard as she could muster. She started breathing hard as she finished her pummeling to Dav, but he still got back up and grinned at her.

"Did you enjoy it?" Chris' tears didn't seem to end as she went at him again and kicked him so hard he flew towards the wall and made a hole in it. Rai was then freed from the wall and went over to her and went in front of her so that Dav wouldn't get to her. He then looked behind him to look at Chris and said.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly and she looked at him with hate and said nearly yelling at him.

"No! I'm not!" She said as she then ran out of the room with Rai then following her, Dav just grinned as he got himself up, it was worth the wrath of the warrior of earth to hurt Raimundo, but to his displeasure, he really didn't want to hurt her that much, but he still laughed evilly. Chris then stopped awhile away from the room Dav was in and she dried her tears before Rai came to her side again. Rai didn't really know what to say, all he knew was May was going to be heart broken because the boy she liked kissed Chris. This was ruining everything, everything was so messed up. Finally Rai then asked Chris if she was okay and she replied with a different answer and said. "I'm alright." She said then added. "Don't tell May." Rai didn't understand why they should keep it from her, it was better to tell the truth but he agreed with her and they went off to find the locket.

Aletia and May had just turned a corner of one of the tunnels in Chase's layer; they weren't having one bit of trouble maneuvering around like Chris and Rai were having. The reason for that was Aletia was hearing her friend the wind tell her where to find Zen, first it was a right, then a left, another left, and double right. May was getting confused with all the sudden turning but she was glad they weren't getting lost. Of course they were running making sure to get to Zen before it was to late. They soon had to meet at the entrance again, and hopefully Chris and Rai had found the locket. Finally after tons of turning again they came upon what looked like a dungeon that Aletia remembered because that was where they kept her before, and there in the corner and on his side was Zen with a collar around his throat and a chain from it to the wall. He wasn't moving, and he did look battered and bruised a little. Aletia gasped when she saw him and went to him immediately, touching him softly on his arm to take a better look at his bruises, but then Zen awoke with a start and swung his arm around and almost elbowed Aletia in the nose, he was only a couple inches away. Aletia blinked at him and they were both silent as they stare at each other. Aletia was the first to get her voice back and say. "Are you okay?" Zen blinked, at first he thought it was a dream.

"Yea.." He said silently to her, then nothing else was said but May could see a hint of blush from both of them and giggled to herself and said.

"If you guys are through, let's get you out of here." She said bringing out the changing chopsticks and saying. "Changing Chop-Sticks!" She instantly went down in size and said mostly to Aletia. "Little help please!" She said with a smile and Aletia helped her to the lock at his collar. She went in and looked around for a second, Aletia was a bit confused.

"How can you unlock it without a key?" May then said.

"My Master Tong taught me how my power can unlock many items." She said then went into a stance, holding her fingers in front of her self and doing a motion. "Like…So.." She said then her eyes flashed bright white and she said. "Water!" Instantly water flung everywhere and soon a 'Click' could be heard and Zen's collar came off without much resistance. May jumped out of the collar lock and said with a twirl. "Changing Chop-Sticks" Growing back in size. "So? How'd I do?" Aletia smiled at her as she helped Zen up.

"Great!" She then looked at Zen and he smiled at her. "Let's get him out of here." She said, and with that May went to the other side of Zen and helped Aletia take him out. As they were walking May then had a thought.

"How are we going to get out of here without being spotted?" Aletia smiled and said.

"With the help of the wind!" May looked at her weirdly and said.

"It helped us before… didn't it?" Aletia nodded as she hurriedly went into a mouth of another tunnel. Aletia grinned at May as they turned and hid and soon before May could ask why they were in here Panda Bubba went on by, not really doing anything, but just to look around. Soon he passed and was out of site, and they continued their way towards the entrance.

Finally Chris and Rai came to the room where the wu was place and they looked around it. Of course Chris thought it was just an obvious place to put your most valuable stuff and that it wouldn't be there, but in fact it was. Just laying there like it was just another necklace. Chris was confused but picked it up without delay and told Raimundo that they were going to go back to the entrance now. She then brought out her Golden Tiger Claws and swiped them. They both didn't really want to wonder confusingly through the maze to find their way back to the entrance, this way was much faster. Soon they were gone and back at the entrance with the others and Zen looking tiredly at them. "Hey.." He said trying to be cheery. Chris was confused as to why he looked the way he did, but didn't say one word. She swiped the Golden Tiger Claws again and they all went into the portal back to Kihaku Temple.

Chase Young was sitting on his throne, most of his little minions were out making havoc upon the world, Wuya he was sure that she was still admiring herself in the mirror with Josh not to far from her. She did think highly of herself, vanity wasn't one of the best suits for people, well.. er.. Witches. He was sitting there looking over at an orb of the world as he saw the dumb one-eyed giant trying to destroy a mountain with one blow, but failed miserably. Where the heck did Wuya get such, lackeys? He then turned off the orb with a flick of his wrist and groaned disgusted at the scene he had just seen. Of course Wuya had a knack for getting some of the worst assistance he could ever think of, A lazy cat woman, a red haired baboon who thought he was a genius, a giant one-eyed monster, and a Chinese fat man with a; what was the word… mafia? Yes, mafia, whatever that meant. He groaned when he then saw a figure come into his throne room and there gasping was Zalak and a not to thrilled Alliyah at his side. She said nothing but walked past her brother into the room behind him not saying a word, she looked depressed, but that was none of his concern. Zalak looked at him with anger in his eyes. "My brother!" He said with a start. "He's gone!" Chase then glared, Zen had ran away like a bad dog he was. He then said to Zalak.

"He knew the price for leaving." Zalak's eyes went big but then grinned.

"And what was that?" He said then added. "Sir?" Chase grinned at him and said.

"The price is death if he betrayed me." Zalak then grinned more evilly.

"Can I kill him?" Chase smiled and said.

"Yes." He then got up from his seat and said. "Take Josh with you, I think he wishes to kill someone as well, might as well kill two birds with one stone." Zalak grinned and ran off to find Josh. "Oh what fun this will be, now that everything on my world domination as been seen to. I believe that can have as much fun as well." He then grinned as Omi had just walked in with his little lion form. He then said. "Omi.." Omi looked at him and turned back into his human form and replied.

"Yes, my master." Chase grinned again and got into his stance for fighting.

"Time to train! Let's go! This time try to hit me!" Omi nodded and went into stance and fought his master.

Soon the warriors were at Kihaku temple and Rai and Chris instantly wondered off as fast as they could, they had the locket with them and they, the others guessed, wanted to put it somewhere save. Chris then angrily opened the chest that had the wu in it and threw the locket in there and closed it angrily again. She was really angry, Rai could tell, she wasn't the only one that was angry and hurt. He tried to badly to hide it, but it was tarring him up, nothing was going to be right between him and Chris again. He closed his eyes, he wanted to cry, but what was the use, so instead he ran off to his room and changed into his fighting robes and walked out to the training ground where a stuffed dummy was and started punching, kicking, and anything he could think of to hurt the dummy, at one time he even tried biting it. Clay then came up behind him and looked at him with worry, with him biting the dummy and tarring it into shreds with his own teeth. He was also worried about Chris because he saw her meditating and wouldn't say a word to anyone. He was worry about them both, something happened at Chase's layer but he didn't know what. "Rai?" He started. "Are you and Chris okay?" Rai then spit out the fluff he had gotten from the dummy and stood up and wiped his mouth.

"Yea, great." He said with a sarcastic remark, and went off to find another dummy; he set one up and started punching it in the head. Clay followed him and while he was doing this and said again.

"What's the matter?" Rai then punched the dummy so hard the head fell off of it.

"NOTHING IS THE MATTER!" He yelled and kicked the dummy in the groin, Clay then winced at that and said.

"Some thing is the matter if you hit that dummy in the place where the sun don't shine." Rai glared and then sighed and said to Clay.

"Dav… um… did something.. to.. Chris." Clay raised his eyebrow and then said.

"What did he do to her?" Rai groaned and fell to the ground and just sat there.

"He… He.." He couldn't say it, it was to difficult to even think about.

"He what?" Clay said getting impatient.

"He kissed her." Clay's eyes bugged.

"He what?" He asked again hoping his ears were hearing wrong.

"He kissed her." Clay then turned around and walked off, Raimundo then followed him, Clay was angry.

"Where are you going?" Raimundo asked trying to stop him but he was too strong.

"I'm going to kill him, that's what I'm going to do!" He said shoving Raimundo away from him. Raimundo still followed and got in front of him again.

"Why should you care? I'm the one…" Rai stopped and thought about it, he really didn't know what to say. "I'm.. the… one that has feelings for her." He said softly. Then Clay shook his head and said.

"She's my kin! Almost like my baby sister!" He shouted. "He hurts her! I hurt him! That's what big brothers do!" He then walked off to find the Golden Tiger Claws, but they were with Chris. So he walked up to Chris and said angrily to her. "Give me the Golden Tiger Claws!" Chris then opened one eye and said.

"Why?" Clay replied.

"To kill Dav for you?" Chris then got out of mediation and said flatly.

"No." Clay was surprised.

"Why?" Chris then stretched and said.

"I can take care of myself, I don't need a boy to do my dirty work. Next time I see him, he'll hurt." She said pounding her fist into her opened palm. Clay then said after that.

"Okay, do what you want, but who else knows?" Chris then replied with no tone in her voice.

"Only you for now don't tell anyone else. Please." She said looking at him with an eye and then walked off. Zen was sitting underneath a tree with Aletia, he was just enjoying the sun and the day with all the bird chirping, and no one dared make fun of him for the way he looked like, because Aletia would hurt them for him. Aletia smiled as she petted him and messed with his hair, and then asked this question that was haunting her.

"Why did you join Chase?" She did sound a bit hurt but Zen replied saying.

"It was an honest mistake, I was hurt and people were trying to kill me. He found me, made me better, and protected me. He gave an offer I couldn't refuse at the time. Then I realized what he was doing." Zen growled and said. "He was using me." Aletia petted him some more and then touched a bruise on his face; he winched and grabbed her hand to keep her from touching it.

"I'm sorry.." She started, but Zen shook his head 'no.'

"It's alright." He said with a smile then kissed her hand and said. "It just hurts a little." She then asked.

"What happened to you?" Zen then said looking at the bright sun for a second then back at the green leaves of the tree and replied.

"Well, when I wouldn't fight you or your friends, or try to kill you, as you know I turned into a beast." He said not to happy with that. "I don't remember anything after that." He said getting up and looking into Aletia's eyes. "I was so sure I did something to hurt you. I didn't know if you were okay." Aletia smiled and said.

"I'm alright, I can take care of myself." Zen nodded and continued.

"After I changed back, they put that collar on me and then chained me like I was a dog." He then looked away; the wind was starting to pick up a little blowing his hair. "My brother then came in after that, and with Chase not looking beat me up till I blacked out." Then he smiled and said. "I woke up to see you, and at first I thought it was a dream." Aletia smiled and said.

"I'm glad you are okay." Zen smiled back and said.

"Me too." A bell then rang through the temple grounds, Aletia and Zen got up not knowing what it was, they ran to the temple and saw Chris on one of the fighting grounds in her dark green robes fighting one of the younger monks in training. Yuki was on one of the sides admiring Chris and her skill and Aletia went to her and stopped a second. "What's wrong?" Zen asked her as she stopped suddenly.

"I wanna ask her what's going on, and why the bell rang, but I don't speak Japanese." Zen then smiled and said.

"I speak a little." He said and went over to Yuki, he tapped her on her shoulder and she turned around and asked.

"Nani?" She said it kinda rudely, but Zen continued.

"(What's going on here and why did the bell ring?)" Yuki smiled and said.

"(The bell is for everyone to pray at the temple, soon we're going to have tons of people come here to pray, and that…)" She pointed to Chris who was kicking the young monks butt. "(That is just some training the younger monks go through, it makes a good display for the prayers who are done praying for the day.)" She then looked back at Chris and said in a sing-song voice. "(Everyone loves Chris! When she use to train here, she had tons of fan clubs, everyone loves her.)" She said with a swoon, Zen then looked at her weirdly and back off. Aletia grabbed a hold of his jacket and asked what was going on, he explained it to her and then they both just watched the fighting Chris was doing, she was now fighting another monk who was losing again. Soon all the young monks were beaten by Chris who wiped her sweat off onto her robe sleeve, cheers could be heard from the girls who admired her and were in love with her. She ignored them and walked off, it looked to Aletia that she was taking her anger out on the monks, but she couldn't be sure. Soon she could hear behind her the cheering girls scream.

"(SHE'S SO COOL!)" Of course it was in Japanese so she didn't really understand it, but with the help of Zen he told her what they said and she looked at them like they were crazy. Chris then grabbed a towel and dried her hair after taking a bit of a shower; she put her robes back on and walked outside with her towel on her head. Yuki then came up to her and said.

"(You're always so grumpy!)" She said cheerfully and then said. "(I know! Let's go to a Karaoke Bar! They're famous and I always wanted to go!)" She said with a shrill, but Chris really did not want to go, she tried to decline, but there was no answer of no in Yuki's vocabulary. That was the way with Yuki, when she wanted something, she got it, even if it was very hard to get. Yuki of course invited all of Chris' friends to the bar to go with them and they were dressed for the karaoke scene, Chris was in a green shirt that said army on it and army fatigues with army boots on she also had dog tags around her neck. Zen was still in his outfit, and so were everyone else cept for Kimiko who dyed her hair a dark red and had on black pants and a blue shirt that went off to the side. The entire time they were there Yuki was holding Chris' arm, of course Chris was not to thrilled with this and tried anyway possible to detach her arm from her grasp. May got the hint from Chris and said to Yuki and to Kimiko.

"Come on! We need to go next!" They then went on the stage and sang a song that was in Japanese. Chris groaned as finally her arm was free, and then she sat back and looked at nothing in particular. Her mind was wondering, wondering how she got dragged into this 'karaoke bar' with Yuki, but then her thought went right to Dav, and that kiss. Her face flushed at the thought, and she without thinking placed her hand on her lips. Aletia noticed her acting funny and put a hand on her hand that was on the table. Chris jumped at the touch and Aletia apologized for scaring her.

"Are you alright?" She asked her friend who's face was a tomato. "You're face is red." Chris chocked a second and turned around to try and make her face go right back to her normal color. "What's wrong?" Chris then turned around, she really didn't know what to say, during that time Raimundo, Clay, and Jillian walked off to get some more drinks. The only ones at the table were Zen, Aletia, and Chris, and Chris wasn't to sure how to explain it to her friend Aletia, and to another who she hardly knew. Zen getting the message smiled at her and then slide out of the table to go help the others with the food and drinks. Aletia smiled at her and nodded her head to go on. Chris was silent, but Aletia added. "I'm not leaving till you tell me." Chris smiled a little, Aletia was pulling the trick she did to her. Chris nodded and told her everything that happened then added.

"Don't tell May." Aletia's eyes bugged.

"He what?" Aletia said not really comprehending what she told her. Chris frowned and looked down at her lap.

"He kissed me.." Aletia's eyes were still wide with shock, then it faltered, and she put a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked her friend. Chris then sighed and replied.

"It was my first kiss, and I really don't know how to feel." Aletia frowned and was about to say something when a boom sound and tons of screams filled the karaoke bar. A hole had been blasted through the wall and Zalak, Dav, and Josh came through the hole. Zalak was grinning ear to ear as he saw two people he hated the most, Zen and Chris. Zen brought out his katana at the sight of his brother, he then ran back to Aletia and guarded her from his brother. Chris got up at the site of Dav and glared at him, he just gave her a smile and a wave. She growled and ran at him and as he was trying to get out his Sabre C24's, Chris had knocked him down and pinned him on the ground and was about to punch him in the face when she stopped. He stared at her with a smile on his face and replied.

"You can't do it can you?" She growled at him and tried again, but it was no use, of course with her harshness she knocked out one of his Sabre C24's and it flew towards Zalak who grabbed it with pleasure running all over his face. He at this point really liked Dav and with that aimed it at Chris and fired.
