i Setting: Chase Young's lair. Present day. /i
"I have a new assignment for you." Chase announced, standing in the library doorway.
KJ lifted an eyebrow. "Go on."
"I think that you'll like this one."
"Why? Who do you want for this one? Serena again?"
KJ's state of depression had lasted for awhile, so Chase had become accustomed to Serena, and used personality number four on many occasions.
Chase smirked. "Actually, for this, I require the talents of Kacie."
KJ, who previously had been reading, put her book down and looked Chase square in the eye.
"What do you want?" She asked sternly.
"Are you saying that you'll do it?" He began to tease, knowing that she had to accept whether she liked it or not.
She frowned and asked again.
"What do you want?"
Kacie snuck into the Xiaolin temple, making sure that the coast was clear before sneaking into the Shen Gong Wu vault. She walked over to the opening to the stairs, and placed her left hand on the stone square. A black light encased it, and the stairs opened.
Carefully making sure that no one heard her, Kacie removed the Serpent's Tail, the Reversing Mirror, and the Ring of the Nine Dragons from their cases.
After quietly exiting the vault, Kacie backed into the shadows, and vanished.
Shen Gong Wu in hand, Kacie, now returned to her natural KJ state, had made her way to the house of Jack Spicer.
Thanks to his parents, she easily found him in the basement-his "evil lair"
Fortunately for her, he didn't realize that she had arrived until she tapped him on the shoulder.
"Jack Bots!" He screamed. "Attack!"
"Wait!" Wuya hissed, floating over to KJ. "I know this girl!"
Jack frowned. "So who are you then, if you're so important?"
"KJ. Wuya might've heard of me...or part of me...becuase I run around doing Heylin dirty work."
Wuya smiled. "Yes...She's the one who informed many of the world's best Heylin."
"Oh yeah?" Jack sneered. "Like who?"
"There were a bunch...I can't really start to name anyone." KJ shrugged.
"Then go away." Jack turned around to return to plans.
"Actually..." She continued thoughtfully. "You might've heard of this one...I was sent here by Chase Young."
Jack perked up. Chase Young? THE Chase Young! Jack Spicer's hero, Chase Young! Jack just couldn't contain his excitement.
"Chase Young sent you HERE! Seriously? Does he need an evil boy genius sidekick?" He asked hopefully.
KJ laughed. "No. He didn't tell me anything about you...I'm here for Wuya, with these." She pulled the three Shen Gong Wu out of a small bag slung over her shoulder.
i Setting: Xiaolin temple. Present day. Meanwhile. /i
"We've got a Code Red, people!" A frantic Dojo came slinking out of the Shen Gong Wu vault. "Three of our Wu have been stolen! The Reversing Mirror, the Ring of the Nine Dragons, and the Serpent's Tail!"
The four apprentices gasped.
"Aren't the Reversing Mirror and the Serpent's Tail what Wuya needed to become a person again?" Raimundo asked.
"Gee, Rai, you would know." Kimiko scolded.
"Please, my friends, this is no time to be arguing!" Omi exclaimed.
"Omi's right." Kimiko admitted. "We shouldn't be fighting."
"But what's weird is that only the Ring of the Nine Dragons is gone, too." Raimundo pointed out. "If Jack Spicer were behind this, why would he only steal those three?"
"This whole thing just seems fishier than a fish fry." Clay added. (A/N: I'm not good at Clay's colorful metaphors...sorry!)
"But if not Jack Spicer..." Omi mused, "Then who?"
i Setting: Jack Spicer's house. Present day. /i
Wuya gasped. "Those are the Reversing Mirror and Serpent's Tail!"
Jack gaped. "Wuya...you aren't ditching me for this little girl...are you?"
KJ frowned, but ignored him.
"Here, let me help you with that, Wuya." She said with a smirk. "Ring of the Nine Dragons!"
With KJ in the center, Kacie and Carmen split off to the right and left sides.
Jack continued to stare as Kacie took the Reversing Mirror and Carmen took the Serpent's Tail.
Kacie angled the mirror to show Wuya, before Carmen cried, "Serpent's Tail!"
"Reversing Mirror!"
With a triumphant cackle, Wuya grew a body, and daintily lifted off her mask, revealing a smile on her face.
i Setting: Chase Young's citadel. Present day. One hour later. /i
"I'M BACK!" KJ loudly announced, entering with Jack and Wuya.
A black panther padded up to them from out of nowhere.
Jack screamed.
KJ and Wuya covered their ears.
"It seems as though you've brought along unexpected company."
Chase appeared at the top of the stairs.
Jack's eyes lit up, accompanied by a wide smile on his face.
Wuya sighed. "Calm yourself, Jack."
As Chase descended the steps to join them, KJ tossed him the bag of Shen Gong Wu.
"I did it. I'm leaving now." She said coldly. Turning around, and ready to retreat to the library with the panther, KJ started to walk away, until Chase stopped her by clearing his throat.
Slowly turning to face him, her eyes flashed a dangerous shade of orange while her appearance flickered for a moment.
Chase smirked. "I have another favor to ask of you." He told her.
That being the straw that broke the camel's back, KJ fully transformed into Amy, as she snarled, "What?"
"Go with the boy back to the Xiaolin temple. Bring me all of their Shen Gong Wu and their master."
"Yes Master." She mocked, grabbing Jack's collar and draggin him off.
"Are we really going to kidnap Master Fung?" Jack asked her on the way.
Amy sighed heavily. "You were standing right there. The answer's yes. We're taking all that those little Xiaolin trainees have...I think we might even take the dragon, too. Just so that they're helpless."
With a sneer, Amy became Carmen.
Jack only stared at her in wonder.
"Take a picture." She snapped. "It'll last longer."
As the two left Chase's lair and headed for the Xiaolin temple, Jack murmured, "It sure will."
i Setting: The Xiaolin temple. Present day. Moments later. /i
As the four Xiaolin apprentices practiced their elements, Jack and Carmen snuck quietly into the Shen Gong Wu vault.
"Do you know how to get in?" Jack asked. Before she could answer, he continued, "Because I do. Check this out."
From his pocket, Jack pulled a small device that resembled a tape recorder. He walked over to the chimes, and pushed a button on the side. A robot hand popped out, and played the tune used to open the vault. When it finished, the hand retracted, and the vault opened.
Carmen rolled her eyes, as she helped gather all of the Shen Gong Wu. Using the Changing Chopsticks, she shrunk them all down into a bag, which she put into her pocket.
Eyes burning a new gray, she and Jack quietly left the vault, and snuck into the temple.
Jack ran off to find Dojo, and Carmen, now Kacie, searched for Master Fung.
"Now if I were a dragon, where would I be?" Jack asked himself as he wandered the halls.
Stopping suddenly, he snapped his fingers.
"Sleeping!"
With an evil cackle, he ran off.
Meanwhile, Kacie had located Master Fung in the meditation room.
Without turning to face the doorway, Master Fung calmly openend his eyes.
"Who are you? And what is it you want?" He asked.
"I have orders to bring you back." Was all she told him. She extended her left arm, and the shadows around Master Fung rose up and engulfed him.
She met with Jack out in the hall moments later.
"I've got the dragon."He told her, holding the sleeping Dojo out by the throat.
"And I've got Fung." Kacie told him.
Jack raised an eyebrow, but decided not to question it- she worked for Chase Young!
"So," he started to ask, "are we going to gloat now?"
Kacie sighed and rolled her eyes.
"I suppose. Make it quick."
"Yes! Wuya never let me gloat!" He jumped up, threw Dojo at her, and ran off.
She sighed again, caught the still sleeping dragon, and slowly followed him out to the Xiaolin apprentices.
"Hey Xiaolin losers!" Jack taunted. He cackled in his annoying, whiny voice, and stuck his tongue out.
"Jack Spicer!" Omi exclaimed. "I knew it was you that was beside this!"
"Behind this." Raimundo corrected.
"That too! Dragon X Kumei Formation!"
"Okay Jack, you didn't gloat fast enough, so now I have to save you."
Kacie stepped out of the shadows, extended her left arm, and encased the four apprentices in a giant ball of shadow.
"It's been nice, Xiaolin dragons!" She laughed. "Let's go, Jack."
With Dojo in one hand, and Jack's collar in the other, Kacie moved into the shadows, and disappeared.
