The Time has Come
Smurf-Chan and Guest Author Dav J
The Hidden Power of the Light
Red crimson could be seen flying as the shot made contact with its target, with the shot, screams could be heard from the people inside the Karaoke bar. Chris' eyes went wide and let Dav's shirt fly from her hand. Dav looked at her with shock, as her eyes filled with tears and she put her hand on her chest. Blood was seen on her green shirt and all over her hand; some of the blood was on Dav as well. Chris then coughed and blood was seen running from her mouth, soon she turned pale and finally collapsed. "(CHRIS!)" Yuki screamed and ran to her friend just before her head hit the ground. Yuki's eyes wide and tears falling, hugging Chris hard. "(CHRIS! CHRIS! WAKE UP! PLEASE WAKE UP!)" But Chris was already gone, her eyes half opened and just lying there. Dav's eyes wide as well, he never wanted this to happen, never. He tried to touch her but Yuki slapped his hand away and screamed at him. "HEEHH! HEDEEHH! SIDEKUTERU DETUKA! CHRIS!" Yuki said crying into Chris' hair. Clay ran to his cousin and looked at her lifeless body.
"CHRIS!" Clay then glared at Dav. "You… little…" Dav just stared at him not really sure what to do, but he looked at Kimiko and asked.
"What did she say?" Kimiko glared at him and said.
"She said 'No! Stay away! You killed her!' basically! You basically did kill her!" Kimiko screamed at him and then tried to get Yuki to get off Chris, but that was no use. Dav just made a fist out of his hand and went up to Zalak.
"I didn't want you to kill her! I didn't want you to KILL HER!" Zalak just rubbed his head with Dav's gun and said sheepishly.
"She was going to kill you… I did something to protect you and this is the thanks I get?" Dav just glared as tears started filling his eyes.
"She wasn't going to TOUCH ME! Didn't you see? She hesitated!" Zalak just shrugged.
"Not my problem.. Just know.." He said looking at Dav. "We'll have to kill them eventually, just think, better now than later." Dav glared at him, he never felt so much hate in his life, but why was he feeling this way over Chris? Was it because they were friends? Or was it something more? As Zalak walked away Dav ran at him and turned him around. "What?" Zalak asked getting annoyed, as Dav did nothing but glare. "You think that will stop me… you're sadly.." But he stopped as one of Dav's feet hit him in the head and knocked him onto the ground.
"You weren't SUPPOSE TO HURT HER!" He screamed as Zalak got back up and rubbed his jaw.
"I'll let that slide." He said motioning towards his jaw. "But be forewarned, if you dare turn on us now, Chase will not be pleased, plus I will get a chance to kill another Xiaolin Loser." Zalak said with a grin and pointing the gun at Dav. Dav faltered a moment and then put down his fists. "Are you still with us?" Dav looked at his so-called friends, not really sure what he was suppose to do, he was still mad at Rai and a little at May. Raimundo went to Chris' lifeless body and then glared at Dav. Dav glared back at him, how was he supposed to return when even his own childhood friend turned on him? Yuki crying so hard as she held onto her head, not really letting anyone touch her, everyone else was shocked. Jill was shocked as well, she didn't really like Chris all that much when they first met, but she cared for everyone's well being, even Chris'. She touched Chris' arm and felt something warm, she then started to glow and then so did Chris. Everyone watched as Jill glowed, this was something very unexpected. Soon Chris' wound was no more and Chris' eyes went straight opened and she sat upright, she gasped. Yuki screamed.
"(CHRIS!)" She hugged her friend and almost ended up choking her. Chris looked around at them and then at Zalak. She really didn't have to ask what happened, she knew it had something to do with Zalak and Dav. Chris got up and looked around herself, everyone seemed to have been crying for her, she didn't know why, nor cared. All she felt was rage, as she went towards Dav one more time and grabbed his shirt.
"You hurt me for the last time." Dav gulped as Chris glared at him, Chris was scary when she was angry. Zalak then pointed Dav's gun again at Chris, aimed, and fired, but Chris was able to dodge it, dropping Dav; who fell to the floor, and then run at Zalak and kick the weapon away. "You think that will work twice?" She said with rage and then kicked Zalak in the head making him fall again to the floor. At this moment Zalak was pissed and got into position to use his attack. Chris gulped as he started to glow black and currents of black electricity could be seen, Chris then turned to her friends and said. "We have to get out of here! Now!" Everyone nodded, but before they could leave. Zalak shouted.
"SIN CARNAGE!" Chris gulped and then looked at Clay, he nodded and Clay and Chris used their earth power together.
"EARTH!" Chris and Clay said together, Chris punching and Clay kicking the ground. They were able to make a cement wall and everyone ran for cover under it. Clay was holding it up and Chris was helping him, when Chris heard a noise of screaming and saw Yuki had tripped and was still out in danger. Chris clinched her teeth and screamed.
"YUKI!" She ran to her and grabbed her around the waist and jumped out of the way when Zalak let out this huge explosion, everything was crumbling around them. Chris dodged as much of the rocks that she could, but one eventually got her and she collapsed to one knee. Her arm she had broken before was now broken again, blood was coming from it and she grasped it with her other arm. She then took Yuki by the back of the shirt and threw her to Zen to catch, he caught her and watched as his brother's attack get stronger and soon Chris was out of sight.
"CHRIS!" Rai screamed worried for her, even though he didn't know how to feel anymore thanks to Dav, he still cared for her. Soon Zalak had turned the place to ruble and looked pleased with himself, he got up from his position and dusted himself off. Josh who had been behind him the entire time, dusted the dirt from him curly hair and said with much rudeness.
"Don't you think you over did it?" Josh coughed from the dust and Zalak said with a grin.
"I don't think I did enough." Josh glared, realizing his sister was gone.
"Thanks a lot Zalak, she's gone now! How the hell am I suppose to kill her now?" Zalak gave a grin and said.
"Nothing to worry about, I'm sure she's dead.. like the rest of them." Josh glared and said.
"Yea, right! Did you not see what my sister did?" Zalak blinked and looked around and Josh sweatdropped. "She CAN CURE PEOPLE NITWIT!" Josh then calmed down and said. "The only thing is, she doesn't know how to control it yet." Zalak blinked.
"Cure people.. and can't control it?" Josh nodded crossing his arms and said.
"If you haven't noticed, she is with the Xiaolin Warriors for a reason." Zalak rubbed his hair to get the dust out of it and said lamely.
"I just thought she was the big one's girlfriend." Josh scoffed and said.
"No, she's the Dragon of the Light! She's one of the holy… meaning.." Zalak blinked.
"If she can control her power… we're in trouble." Zalak finished for him and Josh grinned and said.
"Exactly." Zalak blinked and looked around.
"Where's Dav?" Zalak looked around and saw what seemed to be a golden shield with black marking on it, he knew Dav was carrying a shield with him and shouted to the shield as Josh and him were leaving. "Dav! We're leaving come on! We have to get back to the master and tell him of the news!" Soon they had left and Dav looked into Chris' eyes, he was just to close for comfort and Chris pushed him away with her good arm.
"Why?" She glared at him as she tried to get herself up. "Why protect me from that?" Dav blinked and got up himself and put the shield away. He really didn't know why he saved her life, but he put his arm out to help her up but she refused it. He then grabbed her good arm and forced her up, she then pulled her arm away and said with a growl. "Don't touch me." Soon Clay lifted the ruble from a top all of them, they were perfectly save and Chris couldn't help but look at the commotion.
"Chris! You're okay!" Aletia said with a grin and ran to her to give her a hug, Chris blinked and looked to where Dav was, but he was gone. He must of left when she wasn't looking and before everyone else knew he saved her life. She scoffed; she owed him something now, as Chris was thinking Aletia was looking at her broken arm. "Are you okay?" Yuki ran to Chris and gave her a huge hug.
"(I was so worried!)" She said in Japanese, Chris grunted at the pain, it was real painful to be bear hugged. Chris just looked at all of them and said.
"I think we should go back." Clay looked around the use-to-be-karaoke bar and rubbed his head.
"You're master won't be pleased with this." Yuki blinked at him and Chris told her what Clay said and Yuki did a reply, which was translated.
"(It's not your fault…. It was them, I'm sure you will not be in trouble for what they did. The public will possibly blame it on terrorists, anyway.)" Yuki said still holding onto Chris in fear of anything else happening to her. Zen put an arm around Aletia and pulled her into a hug. He was glad nothing bad happened to her and that he was able to protect her. Clay then looked at Jill, she just blushed but then Clay asked her.
"Where did you learn that?" Jill looked at him and then at her hands.
"I dunno." May then went to her and looked at her hands.
"You were able to bring Chris back to life…. Do you know how you did it?" Jill shook her head 'no' and then looked at Clay. Aletia then went back to Chris' broken arm and said to Jill.
"Do you think you can cure Chris' arm… it's pretty bad." Jill shrugged and put her hand on Chris' arm, but nothing happened.
"I don't understand how I got it to work before." Zen then thought.
"Maybe you have to work on it to get better. I bet none of the other warriors knew they could do what they do now. I'll help you." Jill smiled and nodded. After that Aletia found some medicine and helped bandage and put Chris' arm into a sling and said.
"Tomorrow we'll have to make sure it didn't get infected, okay?" Chris nodded and soon everyone then started to walk back to the temple, Chris and Yuki behind everyone. Yuki looked up at Chris and smiled at her and said.
"(I was really worried about you.)" Chris blinked and looked up while blushing.
"(I'm okay… I can take care of myself.)" Chris said not liking where this was going. Yuki held onto her good arm and said.
"(How did you survive that explosion?)" Chris gulped at that and replied with a fake smile.
"(I'm earth… that's why..)" Yuki blinked and then smiled, she could care less about anything at that moment. Chris growled, as she held on tighter. Aletia stopped and so did Zen who was walking beside her and waited for them to hurry up. Aletia smiled and said in English, which Yuki didn't understand.
"How did you survive that explosion?" Chris blinked, not the same question again.
"Um…" Chris said looking up not really wanting to lie to her friend, but not wanting to tell the truth either. Aletia smiled and said.
"It was Dav, wasn't it?" Chris choked and gave a blush; Yuki asked if she was okay. Chris shook her head 'yes' and then looked at Aletia who was just smiling and Chris blushed. Zen blinked.
"Why would Dav save her?" He asked not really getting it. Aletia smiled at Zen and said.
"He still does care for us…I'm sure he really doesn't want to be evil. I bet he'll come back." Kimiko had stopped walking and was waiting for the group and over heard Aletia talking.
"Yea, like Rai." Everyone blinked and Chris glared and said.
"Raimundo was evil?" Kimiko nodded.
"But he was good deep down, I mean real deep down. He eventually came back to our side." Kimiko smiled and remembered why he turned in the first place, he thought he was being cheated at the temple, but it was nothing more than a misunderstanding. Kimiko smiled. "Maybe… the thing with Dav is a misunderstanding." Chris looked down at the ground and stayed silent. Aletia smiled and nodded.
"Maybe we can get Dav back, I don't think he pledged an oath to Chase just yet." Chris shook her head and said.
"It's not easy to forgive someone for turning on you." Chris said bluntly and everyone looked at her. She then met their eyes and then went back to looking at the ground. She cleared her throat and said. "Just don't think it's going to be so easy." Soon they got to the temple, it was pretty late out and they all really wanted to go to sleep. They would have to explain about what happened at the bar another time to Master Shung, everyone went into their separate rooms leaving Chris and Yuki alone. Chris walked Yuki to her room and told her 'goodnight' and went to her room. She closed the door and laid down. What was the point in taking a shower now, she had too much on her mind. Could she even sleep? She rolled over and felt her arm, which Aletia bandaged and put it in a sling for her, it still hurt from earlier. She then thought about how Dav saved her. She closed her eyes tightly not wanting to think about Dav anymore. It was pointless… wasn't it?
The next morning, Chris got up and took a shower, not like she couldn't sleep at all and put more bandage on her arm, for a while she wouldn't be able to fight. She put on her stealth outfit and walked outside, of course there was Yuki waiting for her to come outside. It was like this even when they were young, even though Yuki is much younger than Chris, by about five years. Before Chris left for the Xiaolin Temple in China, Yuki would always wait for her to come out of her room, watch her eat breakfast, and watch her train. It was like a lonely little puppy tailing her every movement. Chris was real happy to leave the temple just to get away from Yuki, but when all the memory wiping happened Chris knew that that was a bad sign. "Konnichiwa!" Yuki said happily and walked with Chris down the steps. "(I made you some breakfast!)" Chris was still silent and walked a little further; she then stopped and looked at Yuki.
"Master Shung?" Yuki frowned and then looked down at the ground, in a way disappointed that Chris never noticed her.
"(He's in his study…)" Chris nodded and walked towards that direction. Yuki still frowning walked into the kitchen to find all the other warriors eating her food. "ANNO! Betione!" Yuki said with unhappiness grabbing some of the food away from them. "Nani querturo…" Yuki said with a pout and started getting water in her eyes and then finally sobbed. Kimiko put down a bowl of rice and then asked her what was wrong. Yuki shook her head and then ran off. Aletia blinked and felt horrible.
"What did she say? What did we do?" Kimiko and Zen both frowned. Zen replied first.
"Apparently this food was for Chris.. and.. we ate it without her consent…" Kimiko then added.
"I don't honestly think it was us that made her so upset though…" May blinked swallowing another mouth full of rice with soy sauce.
"What do you mean?" Kimiko shook her head and said.
"Couldn't you guys tell she was upset way before she came in here." Clay then rubbed his head.
"But why?" Kimiko frowned.
"Give you three guesses."
Chris entered her Master's study where he was trying so hard to make some of the Xiaolin Monks from the Temple in China sit down. "SIT!" He said to one who just blinked at him and then started to cry. "I'm.. I'm sorry… here." He said handing a lollypop. "Now will you sit down?" The Monk nodded and sat down with the others, but the others started to tear up and wanted to have a fit. Soon Master Shung gave them all lollypops just to shut them up. He sighed and then turned around to see Chris in her black stealth suit, he gave her a little smile and said. "I know what happened last night, Yuki told me." Chris nodded and watched as her Master walked across the room to one of the many book shelves and picked up a book his hand first touched and read the title.
"Aren't you going to punish me?" Master Shung just looked at her and said.
"It wasn't your fault, plus no one blames you."
"But I should be punished!" Chris yelled and Master Shung stayed silent and then placed the book back down.
"Why do you blame yourself? It wasn't your fault." Chris stopped and felt flushed, she didn't know why she should be punished she just knew she had to be. Master Shung went closer to her and looked into her eyes. "I've had you since you were a child, you are like a daughter to me, and I can tell when something is wrong." Chris looked down trying her best not to let her master look into her eyes. "What's wrong?" Chris flushed again and said.
"I have this pain." Master Shung tilted his head and repeated.
"Pain?" Chris blinked and replied.
"It's in.. my chest.." Master Shung blinked but let her continue. "I hurt here.." She said pointing to her heart. " I don't know why! It just hurts!" Master Shung looked at her with bewilderment.
"Are you in love?" Chris blinked and blushed a tomato color.
"What?" She said with a shrill in her voice and then looked back at the ground then replied. "There is no such thing…" Master Shung then smiled.
"I did teach you well… but I guess there was a teaching I was lacking.." Chris looked up at him and said.
"Lacking?" Master Shung smiled and then sat down in a nearby chair.
"I was so busy on making you the perfect warrior… I never taught you about love." Chris blushed again and then said.
"I don't need love!" Shung raised both his eyebrows and said with a giggle.
"But you're in love… obviously.." He then grinned. "Who is it?" Chris gulped and replied.
"I'm not in love… Love is for the weak! AND I'M NOT WEAK!" Chris said with a yell and ran out of his study. He stayed there and looked at nothingness for a moment. The worse thing for her to do was deny it, but what could he do? It was for her to figure out, and he hoped she figured out soon.
Chris ran out of the study and into the training ground, she held her head with her good hand and felt sick. She didn't know why she felt so sick, she just did. "Hey.." Someone said behind her and she stopped, she knew who it was. She turned to see Raimundo behind her. "I think…we have to talk." Chris glared.
"Why?" Rai looked down at the ground.
"I think it's important."
"But I don't want to talk about it." Chris said starting to walk away, but Rai grabbed her arm.
"But I do!" Rai said letting her go and then looked down at his feet. "About Dav… and the kiss…" Chris looked down at the ground too, a blush filled her face but she shook it off and replaced it with a glare.
"It meant nothing to me!" She lied and Rai smiled.
"Really?" He said grabbing her arm trying to embrace her.
"But neither do you!" Rai blinked.
"What?" Chris turned around and said.
"I was never meant to fall in love! I don't even believe in it! I'm only here to do a mission…and when that mission is over... I'm gone!" She then looked back with a glare and said. "Nothing will ever change that!" Rai felt like his heart was being ripped into two. He fell to his knees and started to sob as Chris walked away.
Zalak, Josh, and Dav finally came back to Chase's layer, and Chase was sitting on his throne and was petting Rose again. He grinned as his warriors came through the door and said with a smile. "Am I to say that it went well?" Josh rolled his eyes at Zalak, who grinned and replied.
"Sorry Master, it didn't go as planned." Josh said bowing to him and then looked up. "Apparently, we found out something that could be bad for you." Chase raised an eyebrow and had the look of displeasure on his face.
"And that would be?" He said trying to remain calm.
"It turns out, my sister is a Xiaolin Warrior as well." Chase just grinned and relaxed.
"So, they get tons of Xiaolin Warriors… like Jermaine. They have no special powers, just unique skills." Josh coughed and said.
"Well, she is special.." Chase raised his eyebrow again and said.
"How so?" Josh gulped and said.
"She's the Dragon of Light… Master." Josh then looked and saw the displeasure on his Master's face, but then added quickly. "But.. She does not know how to use it.. master." Zalak was just listening to this while picking his ear and Dav had his arms crossed not sure of what he was going to do. He kept thinking in his head.
'Is this right? What am I doing? Why am I here?' Chase then smiled again and said with a flick of the wrist.
"Then nothing to worry about… without Master Fung they will not be able to train her correctly. Just watch… I bet right now he's playing with something stupid and they are all just watching him dumbfounded." Chase laughs at the thought, but then he gave a smile. "But if it will make you feel better, go get her then…and bring her here… that way we can make sure she dies and they have no hope." Dav frowned as Josh gave a demented smile and Zalak was… not listening to a word Chase was saying, but pulled his finger out of his ear and then wiped the matter on Dav, he was closest. Dav glared at him and punched him in the arm for the crap he put on his shirt. Zalak glared back but then gave a smile and Dav just rolled his eyes.
Soon Chris came to where everyone else was, they were all gathered around Master Fung who was having fun playing with a butterfly. He started to giggle as he gave chase and everyone looked at him a bit oddly.
"We have to get the Cure of Osirus from them. We can't let this go on!" Kimiko said with a frown watching him as Master Fung fell over and started to cry. Dojo went over to him and rubbed his baldhead to make him feel better.
"Poor Fung… I never seen him so upset.. I mean the other Monks are being horrible to him.. it's sad truly." Everyone raised an eyebrow to Dojo who just looked at them and said. "What!" Kimiko then shook her head and then looked at the others.
"Well, we have to get it, we have no other choice… who volunteers?" Everyone looked around and Chris walked up and said.
"I would go.. but my arm. I won't be able to see action for awhile, unless Jill can heal me, but I don't want her to over exert herself." Everyone nodded and kept thinking. Everyone was there cept for Raimundo, no one but Chris knew where he was, but she wasn't going to tell them anything about what happened between them.
"I'll go!" Aletia said finally and then Zen who was beside her said.
"Me too." Everyone nodded, Kimiko then said.
"Yea, it best that only a small number goes into Chase's layer, good luck." Chris then tapped Aletia and gave her the Golden Tiger Claws.
"Here, you'll need this." She gave a weak smile and Aletia added.
"Feel better." Chris scoffed and said.
"I won't feel better till I can get back in action." Aletia nodded and then looked at Zen, Zen nodded and she swiped the Golden Tiger Claws and they went into the vortex. While they were gone Kimiko helped Dojo take Master Fung inside, and Clay and Jill went off somewhere together. Chris then heard a familiar bell; she groaned and was about to go off when she felt May give her a tap. "Hmm?" She basically said looking at May.
"Are you okay?" Chris groaned, not this question again. "You just don't look so well lately." Chris groaned and said.
"I said this to almost everyone.. but one more time won't hurt. I'm fine." Chris said bluntly. "I just.. wanna be left alone." May then looked around and then asked Chris one last question.
"Where is Raimundo?" Chris blinked.
"I dunno." She said lying and walked off, May blinked as Chris kept going, but she fully understood when a group of schoolgirls that were part of her fan club showed up. Chris growled as she walked faster away from them, but they followed closely behind her. May gave a sweatdrop as her and her fan club went out of sight. She looked around and said to herself.
"I wonder where he is." She gave a smile and walked off.
Dav walked through the labyrinth of passageways that Chase's lair contained without looking at where he was going, he just watched the floor. As he continued to stalk the many passages he passed an opening which led to a huge quite plain room with towering walls and a huge ceiling torches lined the walls giving the entire room a weak orangey glow that cast a shadow towards the back of the room. Omi was sat in the center of the room meditating with his eyes lightly closed and his mind focused. Dav stopped however as he noticed his master Chase Young approaching the large room from the opposite passage and so he melted away into the shadows as to avoid his master's gaze. Chase walked into the room and Omi immediately opened his eyes and got up to bow to his master who nodded as he did. Dav moved closer to the entrance as Chase began to speak to his disciple.
"Omi, you have vastly improved your skills"
"Thank you master" replied Omi bowing again as he did.
"But your rigorous training must continue because the time for the end of the Xiaolin warriors is nearly at hand. We will strike with all our power and when they are eradicated I can finally lay claim to what is rightfully mine... the world "
Dav quickly returned to the shadows as Chase exited the room and disappeared down the same passage he had come from. Dav, now starting to worry about when the final attack was going to be, stared into the darkness of a far off passage. He began to walk slowly past the room Chase and Omi had talked in when Omi surprised him by calling to him from inside the room.
"Could I talk to you for a minute Dav?"
"...Yeah sure" Dav replied as he turned around and entered the dimly lit room. He glanced quickly around the room and then clicked his fingers, which resulted in the torches on the wall to burn with much brighter, more fierce glow that fully illuminated the room. Omi remained silent for a minute and then spoke quietly.
"Did you hear what our master just told me?"
"Yeah..."
"It seems to trouble you... is it because you still care for the dragons as your friends?"
"... I don't know anymore Omi... I just wish I hadn't been so horrible to Raimundo and Chris... I think when the time comes I won't be able to help Chase kill them"
" I too do not wish for harm to come to my friends... and my sister but I swore an oath to Chase Young and being a monk of honor I cannot go against this"
"What, even if it means your sister being slaughtered by Zalak or Josh... or even you"
"..."
"I think Omi we have to decide where we truly belong... with Chase or with Rai, Clay, Kim, Chris, Aletia and May. Look at Zen, he finally decided which side he belongs to and did something about it... well he was rescued but still..."
"...Let us think of a plan of action" said Omi quietly which left Dav stunned as it was not expected. However the silence was broken as Dav drew one of his handguns and pointed towards the door of the room, Omi had assumed an alert position.
"Someone was there, I'll go head 'em off whoever it was" informed Dav as placed the Platinum Tiger Claws on his right hand and clutched the Flame Sabre in his left. He swiped the air and a silver rip in the air appeared and he jumped through it, disappearing from the big room.
Zen and Aletia ran down a dark corridor, each of them carrying their swords. As they reached the end of the hallway, which lead to, a fork in the road Zen stopped and stared at the middle of the intersection. A silver gash in the air appeared and Dav jumped out of it still brandishing the Platinum Tiger Claws and the Flame Sabre.
"We heard everything Dav... about you and Omi thinking of a.." but before Aletia could finish the sentence Dav launched a small ball of dark flame which landed and exploded a few feet in front of her.
"Keep quiet, if anyone hears you both Omi and myself are goners... now listen tell no one about what you heard... not even your fellow dragons because its too dangerous for us. What are you doing here anyway?"
"We're here to find the Cure of Osirus to restore the Elder's memories," replied Zen who was watching Dav as if he did not trust him.
"Chase has it hidden behind the throne room but you won't get through because he and his warrior servants are always in there. Take my advice and... quick someone's coming... here use this!" Dav handed Zen the Shroud of Shadows and he cloaked both himself and Aletia and pressed themselves up against the wall out of the way as Josh and Zalak came running down a passage.
"We heard voices... what's going on?" questioned Josh.
"A few of those Xiaolin losers got in by using the Golden Tiger Claws but I chased them off... they went down there towards the meditation room" lied Dav.
"I smell something familiar... almost a relation... Zen was here but his scent lingers here in the hallway" mused Zalak as he continued to sniff the air around him.
"Zalak, I'm telling you they went that way, go and ask Omi if he has seen them"
"Fine, but I don't trust it, his scent is still here..." growled Zalak as he and Josh ran off in the direction of the room where Omi was. Aletia and Zen emerged from behind the stealth Shen Gong Wu to face Dav again.
"You better get out of here... I'll try and retrieve the Cure of Osirus when we escape... you better go and take this with you..." Dav handed Aletia a large golden colored shield with black markings on that was attached to Dav's back.
"This is the Thoren Tundra Shield, it enables you to call upon your element and create an impenetrable shield but it only lasts about ten minutes, now go!" Dav instructed as footsteps could be again heard approaching their position. Aletia swiped the air with the Golden Tiger Claws and she and Zen disappeared through the silvery portal. Chase emerged from the passage and Dav executed a quick bow to show 'respect' to his master.
"Have you seen the Xiaolin warriors since your first encounter?" Chase asked his fire warrior with a respectful tone.
"I'm afraid not my master, the last time I saw them they ran away from me and were pursued by Josh and Zalak" replied Dav with another bow. Chase looked at him with a raised eyebrow, but let it slide. He felt like he was keeping something from him, but he was trustworthy for now, so he would have to trust him.
"Fine. Go train warrior.. we will need you for our battle." Dav nodded and walked off. Chase smiled. If Dav did stay it would be all the better for them, but if he didn't…. he didn't really want to think about it and just continued walking till he came to a room that his sister occupied. "Hello, Alliyah." He said as she looked at herself in the mirror, she was combing her long black hair and frowning at herself. "I know you cared for Zen, but he's dead to us now… just know that." Chase then gave a grin through the mirror at her and started braiding her hair for her. "Why not Zalak, he's a fine guy to be with, I know he cares for you a great deal." Alliyah frowned even more not speaking; ever since Zen was 'rescued' she had been feeling depressed and finding herself unable to do anything that she use to. Like talking for instance. She found no use for it anymore; she just missed Zen and hated being stuck with Zalak. Soon Chase had finished braiding her hair and started tying it up with a bow he found close to him. "It will get better with time, my dear sweet sister." Chase said with his usual coo in his voice and walked off, as soon as he was gone Alliyah started to sob uncontrollably.
Back at the Kihaku temple a silver vortex was seen and out came Zen and Aletia. Aletia holding the new wu they had that Dav gave them. Kimiko ran to them and asked them why they came back to suddenly. Aletia frowned and said. "It was just impossible to get through, there were to many guards, and… um…" Aletia started but stayed silent, Dav wanted their talking to be a secret. Zen looked at her and then Kimiko raised her eyebrow and then looked at the wu they carried.
"Where did you get this? I never even seen it before." Aletia gulped but Zen hurriedly replied.
"Um… We found it and picked it up… apparently it enables you to call upon your element and create an impenetrable shield but it only lasts about ten minutes, it's called Thoren Tundra Shield." Kimiko picked it up and looked at it from all sides.
"Wow! Cool! Best put it with the other wu." Aletia looked at Zen with worry.
"Do you think Dav will be able to get The Cure of Osirus?" Zen frowned, he still didn't trust Dav all that much, but a while ago they were doing the same to him.
"I don't know." Zen said honestly. "He actually might get killed for trying." He said then heard a loud noise; it was more of the screaming type. Aletia and Zen turned around to only sweatdrop as they found Chris running from a mob of fan-girls. "Who would of thought that girl would be so popular." Aletia nudged him and he just grinned at her rubbing the back of his head. Chris finally ran to a tree and jumped till she caught a branch with her good arm and swung herself on a very high branch. She groaned as the girl's tried to follow but failed. She laid back as the girl's screamed for her to come down before she hurt herself further. She was actually laying down looking over the place and what seemed like sleeping. Zen and Aletia sweatdropped again, they rather liked that thought Chris had, like a cat stuck in a tree with a bunch of barking dogs at the base. Aletia stretched and gave a smile to Zen.
"I'm going to go train for awhile." Zen nodded and replied.
"Yea, I best find Jill and help her find her power, maybe if she can control it well enough maybe she can cure Chris." Aletia nodded and they both ran off to find Jill.
Dav walked a little down the labyrinth of Chase's layer thinking of how he was going to get the Cure of Osirus and leave without being seen. If he wanted… he could just leave now with him having his Platinum Tiger Claws, but what about Omi? He couldn't just leave him, soon the tunnel came up to Chase's throne room and there was as he had said earlier to his mates that the Cure of Osirus would be. He looked at all the warriors that guarded it. It would be dangerous; he really had no clue what to do. He then turned to see Omi behind him. "You cannot go and try to get the wu on your own, it is far to dangerous to attempt." Dav looked at him and then back at the throne room, Omi continued. "I know that in your heart you want to leave, and I can tell that deep down you are not evil. So why not go…" Omi paused to lift his arms to him. "If you have the means, go and don't look back…" Dav just looked at him in disbelief.
"But what about you?" Omi shook his head and said.
"I cannot leave because the oath binds me, but you are not tied to such an oath, you are free to leave when you like, for now.. save yourself and.." Omi said pausing and then looked up at him. "Tell my sister I said hello and that I miss her." Dav nodded and then added almost forgetting the Cure of Osirus.
"But.. what about.." Omi shook his head 'no' again and replied.
"As I have told you, it is far to dangerous to try and get it now. I will try and attempt to get it for you, but… it is of no use. Now go! Before Chase is aware of what you are planning on doing." Dav frowned then nodded to Omi as he swiped his Platinum Tiger Claws and was gone.
Back at Kihaku Temple, Zen and Jill could be seen meditating outside in the training grounds. Jill was getting a bit antsy from sitting for so long not doing anything, and as Zen described it concentrating. Zen opened one of his eyes to take a look at the uncomfortable girl, she was twitching in her seat and her brows could be seen showing a bit of anger. "Uncomfortable?" Zen asked closing his eye again and smiling when he heard a growl.
"Very.." Jill said opening her eyes and relaxing for a moment, Zen got out of his meditation as well and smiled at her.
"It isn't easy, is it?" Jill shook her head 'no' and looked at him with big eyes.
"Do I have to do this?" Zen nodded and replied.
"It will help you feel your power and your surroundings." Jill looked around the area as she saw the others hanging around watching, well some of them. It was just really Aletia and Clay on the sidelines that were in view, she really had no clue where the others were. Jill then sighed and said.
"Am I suppose to meditate the entire time?" Zen looked at her weirdly and asked.
"What's wrong?" Jill shrugged and replied.
"What if I'm hungry?" Zen smiled and said.
"We could take a break I suppose." Jill smiled and said.
"Naw, that's okay." Zen blinked and then scratched his head.
"I thought you were hungry." Jill gave a grin and replied.
"I just wanted to know what you would say." Zen blinked and gave a groan as he went back into meditation. His ears giving a twitch when he heard something, and his tail giving a soft wag, Jill couldn't help but look at Zen's attire, he was half dog or something to that matter. Zen sensed her looking at him and became frustrated and started to growl.
"What!" He said quite angrily, and at this point glaring at her. Jill blinked form the sudden surprise and said quickly.
"It's nothing." Zen glared at her some more and said.
"It's the way I look right?" Jill blushed with embarrassment and looked down at her feet.
"Sorry…" She said softly. "It's just…" Zen sighed and closed his eyes.
"The way I look." Zen finished for her and she looked in shock at him.
"I didn't.." Zen sighed again and said.
"I know.. I shouldn't have snapped…" Zen paused to look at Aletia who was sitting under a tree and what looked like talking to someone he couldn't see; Zen blinked and then shook his head and continued. "I know I look weird, but I'm still human." Jill gave a weak smile and asked.
"How.. did it happen?" Zen frowned and looked away again and gave a weak reply.
"I don't really want to talk about it." Jill smiled and nodded and then added.
"When you do… I'll listen.. Okay?" Zen nodded and then started to change the subject.
"Okay, let's get back to meditating." Jill frowned and went back into her sitting position, after while she felt frustrated again.
"What am I suppose to feel?" She blurted with her eyes still closed, Zen with his eyes still close as well, smiled at her and said.
"Oh.. I don't know… light and fluffy…" Jill opened her eyes and glared.
"Not funny." She said going back into her meditation while Zen gave a chuckle. "It would help me if I knew what I'm suppose to feel." Zen smiled and said.
"Well, usually people can sense things… do you sense anything?" Jill gave another frown and replied.
"No… I feel…. Blank." She stated.
"Do you sense something coming from me?" Zen asked as he opened his eyes. Jill looked like she was trying to give herself a headache and finally said.
"Yea…" Zen smiled.
"What is it?" Jill frowned and suddenly felt cold.
"Darkness and Cold.." Zen gave a frown, but Jill continued. "But it's not in your heart… It's… somewhere else… like your memory." Zen nodded and said.
"Good…" Jill then opened her eyes and looked at Zen.
"Why.. are you so cold?" Zen gave a weak smile and said.
"A lot has happened with me and my past… but right now.." He said giving a pause and looking at Aletia who gave him a smile and waved. "What do you sense in yourself?" Jill gave another sarcastic answer.
"Light and Fluffy.." Zen gave a smile and said.
"No really…"
"Um… I don't know… warmth maybe.. I am rather hot.." She said gesturing towards the sun. Zen gave another smile and said.
"Okay, meditation is over.." Jill stood up fast and smiled.
"YAY!" Zen then said.
"But.." Jill stopped dancing and frowned at him. "We're going to do some exercises." Jill looked at him weirdly and replied.
"Like what?" Zen smiled and said.
"Powers.." Jill blinked.
"But I can't do powers.. I don't even know how to use mine!" Zen gave a reply while scratching his head.
"Well… what I was thinking is a long shot.. but if I use my element Darkness to try and consume you maybe you're light will awaken." Jill frowned.
"Isn't that… dangerous?" Zen frowned and said.
"Could be… I could hurt your soul.." Jill gulped and Clay came over and said.
"Partner, are you sure you wanna go and do that? I mean… she is our hope in defeating the darkness and you want to try and consume her with it before she's ready?" Zen put a hand on Clay and said.
"I know you're worried, but I believe that if we try it this way, we can force it to come out." Zen then smiled at Jill and said. "And I believe that if something is provoked enough, it will come out with a vengeance!" Jill nodded and told Clay she would be okay and got ready. Zen breathed, as he got ready too. "Jill.." He said putting his hands at ready. "This will be very uncomfortable…. Almost like you lost your breath and about to loose your soul…" He breathed again and asked. "Are you ready?" Jill took a long breath of air and let it out slowly and then nodded to Zen to start.
Sitting under a huge tree, Aletia watched as Zen was trying to get Jill to meditate, and looked like he was having a whole lot of trouble. Aletia gave a smile and said. "Chris?" There was a growl in the tree and noises of rustling and Chris came out of the tree upside down with her arms crossed.
"Nani deska?" Chris asked in Japanese and Aletia looked at her confused.
"What?" Chris blinked and with annoyance replied.
"I mean… What do you want?" Aletia blinked too and replied.
"That was kinda rude." Chris then looked at her and replied.
"Well, you would be rude too if a bunch of stupid girls wouldn't leave you alone." Aletia smiled and said with humor.
"But, you're popular!" Chris glared.
"I would prefer not to be…" Aletia smiled and said.
"Yea.. I wouldn't either…" She then looked at Chris and said. "It must be horrible to be followed by people you don't like.." Chris sighed and said.
"Very…" They both stayed silent for a while as they watch Zen and Jill start talking, then Zen looked over at Aletia and she gave him a smile and a wave. He didn't return it, but went right back to talking to Jill, and then the two got up. Clay then was seen coming over and they were all talking together.
"I wonder what they are talking about?" Aletia asked as she started to fiddle with her necklace. Chris gave a shrug and went right back in the hideout of the tree she was in. Aletia looked up at her and said. "Don't you want to come down? The girls.. they are gone you know." Chris gave a loud sigh and said.
"No.." Aletia blinked and then got up.
"But.. why?" Chris then gave the same answer.
"No!" She said with a bit of anger and that chat was done, Aletia figured it had something to do with her not being able to do much and pretty much mope around. Aletia then figured that if Jill was able to bring out her power of healing, Chris would want to be more active, so she hoped that Jill would be able to get her powers soon.
Somewhere in the city of Japan, a silver vortex could be seen as Dav came out of it, he didn't know what to feel at that moment. He had left one of his team members behind, but Omi did say to save himself. After the event of Chris nearly dying, okay did die, but brought back to life; he had no clue what to think or do with himself. When he did leave, he knew that they were in Japan somewhere, but he had no clue where. The only place he knew about was the Karaoke bar they visited, but that was now in ruins thanks to a certain someone. He then looked around and then started to walk around, where he was going he had no real clue, he just walked. Somehow he had to find his friends, if they would take him back. He then stopped in his tracks and looked around again, would they take him back? What if they didn't? He would be stuck with Chase Young and doing things he really didn't want to do forever. He felt his heart beating madly, worried to death of what the others would say, or what they would do… and what Chris would do to him. He gulped, she was a mad woman, he had done so much to hurt her and she would take out all her rage on him. Maybe that was for the best, since he hurt them, it would possible be a fair trade; his bones for their loyalty for him to return. He had also hurt his best mate Rai, and even the girl of his dreams; they would possibly not want to talk to him, possibly not forgive him. He possibly messed up the team, scarred them horribly with his deed, how were they ever to fight side by side again? His thoughts then were paused as a familiar black haired girl walked past him with groceries in her arms. The little Japanese girl that was with them and seemed to really care for Chris. He then hid trying not to be seen by her, maybe if he followed her she would lead him to the others. Of course this wasn't one of the things he had hoped for when coming back, stalking a poor little girl just to find his friends. He possibly looked weird to all the other people as he followed then hid behind something. A woman that was beside him as he hid again then asked him. "Nani desuka Otoro?" He blinked and said.
"Me… No…. Speaky… Jap-a-nese!" He partway yelled but the lady just kept looking at him and he gave a sweatdrop, she didn't understand him no matter how slow he said it. He then looked again for the little girl and she had just turned a corner, he then ran after her and turned the corner himself when all of a sudden she was gone. He walked a couple of feet and looked around. "Now where'd she go?" He said scratching his head and kept walking, there he found steps that lead to a very tall hill and on the side it had a Japanese sign on it. He blinked at it and mentally wished he knew how to speak Japanese and read their writings. He breathed and walked up the long stairs in hopes he got to the right place.
Yuki had just gotten done picking up the groceries for her father, now that she was making more food, that subject seemed to get more and more used as the days went on. She gave a sigh when she finally got up the temple; there she found most of Chris' non-speaking Japanese friends training on the training ground, well at least two of them. It seemed that the taller, darker boy was about to do something to the girl that was standing just a couple of feet away. She blinked not really getting it and just walked past them, whatever it was she really didn't care. She sighed again, it was just so depressing that Chris never paid any attention to her, could she actually say she had feelings for her? It was possible, stranger things did happen. She then walked into the kitchen and started to put away the groceries, and then Kimiko came in and started to help. Yuki gave a weak smile to her and just continued working. Kimiko then said. "(I'm sorry for what happened earlier… that wasn't very nice of us.)" Yuki then looked up at her and gave another weak smile and replied.
"(I should of known that Chris' friends would be hungry as well…I just didn't think, I guess.)" Kimiko gave a bit of a growl as Yuki put away the fruit and then decided to let that remark slide and then asked.
"(Why were you so upset earlier?)" Yuki turned around and said.
"(You possibly already know the answer.)" Kimiko nodded and Yuki continued. "(I've always been close to Chris, well… at least for me I try to be as close as possible, but Chris…)" Yuki looked down and frowned. "(Doesn't like being close to anybody… She always found me annoying… and a pain… It just bothers me how lonely she is.)" Kimiko raised an eyebrow and replied.
"(Maybe she likes being alone..)" Yuki looked up at her with sad eyes and Kimi added. "(Just let her be… maybe she'll come around.)" Yuki nodded and then looked out the window, there was a commotion going on outside.
Zen then did very fast hand movements that went into a symbol and he then shouted. "DARKNESS! CONSUME!" It hit Jill with such a force; she felt like she couldn't breath anymore, it was horrible feeling as she was feeling of being sucked from every direction. She felt like claws were swiping her and tearing at her flesh, she felt like blood was escaping her body, her screams could be heard as she then collapsed to her knees, holding her head. Clay heard her screams and then ran to Zen.
"STOP IT! You're hurting HER!" Zen didn't stop though; he really wanted her to get her power to come forth, so Zen, still in position, said through her screams.
"JILL FOCUS! YOU HAVE TO FOCUS!" Jill felt frozen still as she heard Zen's muffled words, she could hardly make them out. All she got from the words was 'focus' so she tried really, really hard and soon a pillar of light could be seen through the darkness. Chris looked over at it from her treetop and just watched to see what would happen. Soon, another scream could be heard, but this scream lead to an impounding of light force that over powered Zen's darkness, knocking Zen down and showing a brilliant light. Jill then fainted from the ordeal and Clay ran to catch her. Jill then opened her eyes moment's later to see Clay and Zen smiling down at her. "Good job!" Zen said with another smile. "It worked better than I thought." Clay then growled.
"It could of hurt her…" Zen then patted the huge cowboys back and said.
"Well.. it didn't.." Zen said looking away, not really sure of what to say, he then looked over at Aletia and gave a smile and a wave that he needed to return to her. She smiled and Zen gave a nod, she then looked up at the tree and said.
"You know, you might want to see if she can heal your arm." Chris sighed.
"How do you know she can?" Chris said with a dry tone, Aletia then replied.
"Well, you won't know till you try?" Chris growled as Aletia smiled at her and she jumped off of the branch and onto the ground. She and Aletia then walked over to the little group and then Chris just held out her broken arm.
"Can you see if you can fix this.. Jill?" Chris said without looking at her, Jill just gave a nod and put a hand on her broken arm. There the light could be seen coming back onto her palm and healed Chris' arm; Chris tested it and tried flexing it. It was fixed all right and Chris thanked her by bowing and walked off. Jill gave a little frown, but smiled and said to Zen.
"I can heal people now!" Zen nodded as she gave a little clap and then hugged Clay, Kimiko then came out in the middle of the hugging and felt her face go flush, but then frowned. She guessed it was to late for her and Clay now that Jill came into the picture. She slowly walked over to the bunch and gave a 'hey'.
"Good work Jill! That was amazing!" Kimi said to try and feel happy for her, but deeply she was hurting. Aletia then turned to the direction of the entrance all of a sudden; the wind had just informed her that someone was coming, and it was someone she knew.
"Dav…" She said silently, but everyone heard her and they all looked at her with shock, Kimi was then able to speak.
"What?" Aletia smiled though and looked at them.
"He's come back! He's on our side again! He came back to return to us!" Aletia said with glee, but Zen grabbed her by the shoulders worried and asked.
"Are you sure?" Aletia smiled and nodded.
"The wind never lies to me!" She said happily as Zen let her go and they all run to the entrance. There Dav came up to the last stairs and found everyone look at him, he stopped and looked at them, his heart racing. He didn't know what they were going to do to him, but he bent down on his hands and knees and said.
"Please… forgive me…" Everyone looked at him as he stayed in that position, they really didn't know what to do, but Aletia gave a smile and went to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Come… we best tell Master Shung about your arrival." Dav looked at her and blinked.
"Master… Shung?" Aletia smiled and nodded.
"Yea.. Chris' teacher…well.. I guess I have a lot to explain." Dav nodded and agreed to go see Master Shung.
May was walking around trying to find Raimundo, he had disappeared and no one seemed to know where he was. As she walked she admired the trees, they were way different here, and they were all in bloom with this lovely flower that was pink. She had no clue what it was but it smelled nice. Soon she heard sobbing and ran to where it was and there found Raimundo on a bench and was… crying. She never saw a boy cry before, and so openly. She walked over to him and then when she was close enough started to speak. "Raimundo?" Rai jumped and turned around, he had defiantly been crying, as he wiped the tears away with his sleeve and had puffy red eyes. "What's wrong?" May asked coming closer to him. "Why are you crying?" Rai just sniffed and looked away from her not saying anything. "I could help.." May said giving a small smile, but Rai knew what happened last time when she tried to help. "Please?" She said grabbing his shirt. "I want to help." Rai gave a frustrated sigh and sat down on the bench, May followed and sat beside him. "So, why are you crying?" Rai gave another sigh and said trying to clear his throat in the process.
"Well.. (Cough) I… um.." Rai looked at his feet and he then just blurted it out. "Chris… kinda… um.. ChrisandIhadafight." He said the sentence fast but May could still understand it. She frowned and said.
"Are you going to be okay?" Rai shrugged and just started to whimper, but wouldn't allow himself to cry in front of her. "Why did you two fight?" Rai froze; he didn't want to say that it was Dav's fault, May had no clue Dav had anything to do with it, she knew nothing of the kiss between him and Chris. Rai then scratched his head.
"Well… um…" May then raised an eyebrow and made Rai face her.
"What?" Rai tried his best to not make eye contact but he finally gave up and spilled.
"It had something to do with Dav." May blinked.
"What…what do you mean?" Rai looked away again, but May was able to bring his eyes back to her. "What happened with Dav?" Rai gulped and finally replied.
"Dav kissed Chris.." May's eyes went wide, she stood frozen for a moment, and her whole world seemed to be crashing around her. Her eyes filling with tears, she then closed her eyes tightly and then quickly turned and ran off. Rai did know she wouldn't react good to the new was still a bit shocked from her running and followed quickly behind her.
Chris was walking around with her katana, she was so thrilled her arm was fixed and now she could train, training made her happy and forget everything else. When she was heading for the training ground to work on some moves she looked up to see a tearful May coming her way and Raimundo not to far behind her. "Oh… great." Chris said turning and trying to leave the scene before May got close enough to talk but May called out to her.
"Chris!" May screamed again and Chris finally stopped, May ran towards her and stopped only a couple of feet away and Raimundo stopped a ways away. "Is it…true?" May asked tearful. Chris looked at her and then at the ground.
"I don't want to talk about it.." Chris said trying to leave.
"He kissed you!" May screamed and made Chris stop again, Chris clutching her katana making her knuckles go white. Chris was getting angry, she didn't want to think about it, but May persisted. "He…he was suppose to like me! Why?" May asked, Chris then looked at her and said.
"I don't know… ask Dav… I was nothing but a pawn in this little game of yours…" Chris said as she tried her best to hold back tears. "Now if you don't mind… I want to train…" Chris said turning away and a tear escaped her eye. May started to turn red from the despair she felt and screamed.
"YOU'RE HORRIBLE!" Chris didn't move a muscle as May finally ran off in another direction, Rai started to run after her but stopped to look at Chris, he then frowned at her and then followed May. Chris looked back at the two running, she honestly didn't want anything to do with this, it was none of her business, but May called her 'horrible'. Chris couldn't help but frown at that, this group of new warriors was falling apart.
Dav looked up at the ceiling as Master Shung looked him over and then back at Aletia. "He's the Dragon of Fire?" Aletia nodded.
"He was evil… but now.. He's back on our side." Master Shung raised an eyebrow and then replied.
"What were his reasons for turning to the Heylin side?" Aletia looked at Dav and he just gave a little blush. Aletia smiled and said.
"A misunderstanding.." Master Shung then nodded.
"He may stay here, but for his betrayal, he'll have to make it up to his fellow warriors in some way." Dav nodded and replied.
"Of course! Anything!" Master Shung then looked down at the ground to think and said.
"You will also have lots of chores to do here for your betrayal, I do hope you learned your lesson." Dav bowed.
"Of course.. Master Shung." Master Shung nodded.
"You can leave.." Master Shung then looked at the boy and then at Aletia as they both left. He then thought to himself. 'I wonder if that's the boy Chris fell in love with? I would understand why she feels the way she does. Betrayal can hurt a lot.' He then frowned; he hoped Chris wouldn't hurt their returned ally.
Aletia and Dav walked out of Master Shung's study and looked at all their friends, but a few were missing. Dav turned to Aletia and asked. "Where are May, Rai, and um.. Chris?" He said Chris with a bit of fear. Aletia gave a tiny smile and said.
"To be honest, I haven't seen Rai or May all day, and well for Chris.. there she is.." Aletia said pointing to Chris as she walked out onto the training grounds. Dav gave a gulp and knew what he had to do; he had to apologize to his fellow dragon, even if he got killed for it. Master Shung and Yuki came out just in time to see Dav walk over to Chris, Yuki just stared and Master Shung watched with interest. Dav gave a gulp as he came closer to her, then all of a sudden a dagger came flying right close to his head and hit the wall behind him, he had a gash on his cheek. Dav felt his cheek and said silently to himself.
"What's with people trying to chop off my head for?" Chris glared at him, Dav then said. "Why did you do that?" Chris frowned at him and replied.
"I felt someone sneak up behind me, so I went on instincts." Dav frowned too and said.
"I didn't mean to scare you…" Chris glared again and replied.
"You didn't scare me.." Dav then said.
"Can I at least…"
"No!" Chris said and walked off, but Dav reached out and grabbed her hand, she glared back at him and then tossed him over her shoulder. He fell on his back to the ground and Chris put her foot on his throat. "Don't touch me.. Don't talk to me.. don't…" Chris then blushed as a thought of the kiss flashed in her head and she let him go. "Just.." She looked down as he got back up to his feet. "Just leave me alone." Chris then walked off as Dav frowned and grabbed his throat. Master Shung watched this and frowned himself.
"(This is bad.)" Yuki looked at him and asked.
"(What papa?)" Yuki asked with curiosity, Master Shung looked at his daughter and replied.
"(They are not united, sure they know how to fight on their own.. but they don't know how to fight as a group, they don't know how to fight as one, and with what happened between Dav and the group they won't do well against Chase and his allies.)" Yuki looked at her father.
"(Can't you teach them?)" Master Shung gave a sigh and replied.
"(I only know how to train the Warrior of Earth.. none of the others..)" Yuki frowned.
"(Then who can?)" Master Shung looked behind him at his study and replied.
"(Master Fung.)" Yuki frowned and looked at the group, they were in trouble. Dav watched as Chris left, well he was going to have to find May and Rai and try to apologize to them and see if they would forgive him. He then started to look for them; he really had no clue where they would be.
May finally stopped when she was sure no one could see her cry, she collapsed to her knees and sobbed, Rai stopped a couple feet away, but didn't know what to say or tell her. He then slowly went to her side and patted her back; she then grabbed him for a hug and started crying on his shoulder. He rubbed her hair and it seemed to make her cry worse, he didn't know what to do. He then started to cry as well, and held onto May tighter, right now they both were hurting and they were there for each other. May gave a sniff and pushed slowly off Rai and wiped her red eyes. She gave a weak smile to Rai and he did the same, they then looked into each other's eyes and like a magnet they were pulled into a kiss.
Dav walked trying to find Rai and May, but wasn't having any luck till he started hearing sobbing from somewhere close by. He walked around through some bushes till he finally found Rai and May in a tearful embrace, he paused his heart pounding, and then the kiss. His heart dropped and he felt like he couldn't breath, he felt like he was having a panic attack. He hid in the bush to not see them and put his legs close to his chest and started to sob. How could this happen a second time, this was the reason he left in the first place. Maybe in a way, he was never suppose to be with May, maybe this was a cruel joke played on them. Or maybe faith was trying to tell them something else.
Aletia looked around as Zen walked off to go get some chow for them to eat, Jill was hanging out with Clay and practicing her Yoga to help her concentrate on her powers. Kimiko was practicing on a dummy and was able to break it in two without much trouble. Soon out of nowhere Dojo came running out to them with the scroll. "Guys.. we have a new wu!"
Smurf-Chan: Thinks I think there was way to much crying and depression in this chapter, but I guess it's better to get the sadness over with and go on to happier times. Heh.. Anyway, Dav J gave me loads of help in writing this chapter, so when you review remember give him loads of credit too. Next Chapter: Two Wrongs don't make a Right
