Kacie and Jack returned, and found Chase in the library. As Kacie changed back into Kj, she dumped Dojo on the desk that Chase was sitting at.
Chase smiled as Dojo woke up a frantic mess.
"W-Where am I?"
Chase looked at KJ.
"You brought me a dragon as well...I'm impressed."
"You're welcome." KJ said back.
Chase looked from her to Dojo (currently acting as though he was having a heart attack), to Jack Spicer.
"Jack, take the dragon and go find Wuya." He instructed.
Jack, thrilled to be taking orders from Chase Young, grabbed Dojo by the throat and ran out, slamming the door to the library.
Chase rose from where he was sitting, and walked over to a shelf of books.
"I'm leaving with Wuya for a while. You will stay here and make sure that the Xiaolin warriors do not find out who you are or what you did, understand?"
KJ nodded. "What about their master? Fung? What do I do with him?"
"Where is he now?"
KJ sighed "Kacie has him."
Chase smiled once more. "Good. It'll be harder for them to find us, as long as Kacie doesn't make any...appearances. When I return, I will give you further instructions on what to do."
KJ frowned and looked Chase square in the eye.
"You have a plan, and so far, I don't like it."
He chuckled. "You've helped me with things far harder than this."
KJ hmphed. "Fine then. Just go on your big escapade with Wuya, and I'll stay here, taking care of your little cats, the psycho dragon, and Jack Spicer, the evil boy genius."
Chase smiled and cupped her chin in his hand. "Don't worry about a thing. It will all make sense in time...my dear."
KJ turned her head and took a step back. She clamped her eyes shut.
"Just go..please...just go." Her voice quavered with each word.
Chase obeyed her request, and left her alone int he library, where she proceeded to sit down on her bed and cry.

Soon after Jack and Kacie left, the four apprentices were freed from their shadowy prison.
"What was that?" Raimundo asked, rubbing his head.
"I don't know who that girl was, but that was definetely Jack Spicer with her." Kimiko said.
"And they had Dojo!" Omi exclaimed. "What could they possibly want with Dojo?"
"Yeah, I thought Wuya could sense Shen Gong Wu." Clay added, brushing off his pants.
"We should check the vault, just in case." Kimiko suggested.
"And I shall look for Master Fung, so as to form a plan." Omi announced.
The four met back up a few minutes later.
"Looks like that dirty rat Jack Spicer stole all of our Shen Gong Wu." Clay told Omi.
"What did Master Fung say?" Raimundo asked.
Omi looked down. "Master Fung..is not here." He sighed.
"What!" The other three cried.
"Not here? But where could he have gone?" Kimiko wondered.
"They stole our Shen Gong Wu, and kidnapped Dojo and Master Fung." Raimundo concluded.
"But who is..they?" Omi asked.
"Well we know it's Jack Spicer." Clay told him.
"And probably Wuya, too." Raimundo added.
"But then," Kimiko started, "Who was that other girl?"

Chase and Wuya had left early in the morning, not bothering to wake up Jack or KJ.
When Jack awoke, he had discovered a black panther sitting at the foot of his bed, staring at him.
He shrieked and lept about a foot in the air. He darted out into the halls and ran around frantically trying to find KJ's room.
"Hey! Someone! Help me!" He screamed, running around in circles.
A half awake KJ emerged from the library.
"Jack, shut up, it's too early for this. Go back to bed." She yawned.
"Well, I'd like to." He said in a strangely clam voice. "But I can't."
KJ sighed. "Why not?"
"It's very simple." Jack explained. "It's because there's a MAN EATING BEAST WATCHING ME SLEEP!"
KJ winced as said beast strode out of Jack's room and up to her.
"He's fine, Jack, now go back to bed please."
She turned around to re-enter the library, but Jack stopped her.
"Isn't it weird that Chase or Wuya haven't ran out here to inspect the situation?" He asked.
KJ sighed again. "No. It's not, becuase they left."
Jack's eyes widened as his jaw dropped.
"Left? They can't leave!"
"I think they left in hopes that you would go home if they did." KJ said completely deadpan.
Jack frowned. "Oh yeah? Well they thought wrong."
KJ groaned.
"Wait a second..."Jack said thoughtfully, "If Chase and Wuya left, then why are you still here?"
KJ sighed once more. "Because my job is to hold down the fort here with the cats, the dragon and you."
"Oh." Was his only reply.
KJ nodded sleepily, and wandered back into the library with the panther. As soon as she layed down, she fell asleep again.
The sound of an explosion woke her up two hours later.
She groggily sat up and looked at her watch, which read 8:17.
She slid out of her bed and got ready before going to investigate the noise.
She found Jack Spicer in the kitchen, with a bowl of oatmeal in the microwave.
Well...some of the oatmeal in what was left of the microwave. The rest was splattered all over the walls and ceiling.
"WHAT HAPPENED!" She screamed.
"I don't know!" Jack cried defensively. "All I did was try to microwave a bowl of oatmeal!"
"Then why did it explode?" She fumed, turning into Amy.
Jack managed to shrug, despite how terrified he was.
Amy advanced on him, and prepared to rip his pancreas out and make him eat it, before she saw a glint of metal on the ground. She picked it up and looked at Jack.
"Did you by any chance forget to take the spoon out of the bowl first?"
Jack's face went blank for a moment.
"Uh...maybe...?"
Amy frowned and threw the spoon on the ground.
"Clean it up." She snarled, walking away.
Jack found her in Chase's weapon room a couple hours later, practicing ferociously with a bamboo staff.
He stood quietly in the doorway until she noticed him and stopped. He noticed that she had calmed down and returned to her Kj state.
"I, uh, finished cleaning up the kitchen." He told her.
She put the staf in a rack near the door. "Alright, thank you." She walked past him and walked down the hall.
He followed her.
She stopped at the library and went inside.
So did Jack.
"What do you want, Spicer?" She snarled, spinning around.
Jack yelped and covered his face with his hands.
KJ sighed. "Okay, sorry."
Jack calmed down. "I, uh, wanted to see, if you needed any help...?"
Kj lifted an eyebrow. "If I needed help with what?"
Jafck thought about it, and shrugged.
KJ rolled her eyes. "Okay, I"m sorry for yeling at you. How about to make up for it, we take the Silver Manta Ray into town and go for pizza?" She asked.
Jack put a finger to his chin and acted thoughtful.
"Hmm...okay. Let's go!"
He grinned madly and raced away to get the Silver Manta Ray and KJ smiled softly and followed him.
