i Setting: Chase Young's citadel. Present day. One week later. /i
Chase and Wuya burst back into his lair at one of the most interesting moments ever.
Jack, who had previously been working on his robots, now had hid head stuck in one of the robot's necks. KJ, who had previously been practicing her kata sets, now was pointing at Jack with her right hand, and clutching her stomach with her left hand while laughing hysterically.
Chase cautiously lifted an eyebrow as Wuya lifted the palm of her hand to her forehead and shook her head in disgust.
KJ's laughing slowed to a stop when she noticed the two enter the room.
"Oh...hi...Jack, I'm gonna go..." She trailed off, and turned around to walk away.
"KJ, hold on." Chase instructed.
She stopped and turned around.
"Go to the library. I'd like to have a word with you."
She took a deep breath.
"Alright..master." She added before obeying his request.
Chase frowned at her attitude and slowly trailed behind her.
"You're dangerously in a mood today." Chase pointed out, closing the library door behind them.
KJ shrugged. "I got used to being around jack...sorry."
Chase smirked. "Do you have a little thing for our friend Jack Spicer?"
KJ looked astonished. "Don't make me laugh. I haven't heard anything as ridiculous as that since you tried to tame penguins and make them cage fight each other."
Chase frowned once more. "I was bored that year." He muttered.
KJ lifted an eyebrow in amusement. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Ah yes. My dear, you are about to play an enormous part in helping my current plans succeed."
"And what is your plan,exactly?" KJ asked him.
Chase smirked. "Phase one is what requires your talents most of all. You are to go to the Xiaolin temple and gain their trust. I will let you know when the time is right, and that is when you will bring Omi here to me."
"What do you want him for?" She asked.
"There's great potential in that monk. I shall propose a fight with him, wagering his freedom and the freedom of Dojo and Master Fung. He'll accept, and lose. With him on the Heylin side, nothing will stop me."
KJ laughed. "What about the bean? Hannibal Roy Bean?"
"What do you think Wuya and I were doing that past week?"
KJ's eyes widened. "This really is your grand master plan.."
It was Chase's turn to laugh.
"Well wait," Kj interrupted, regaining some state of mind, "What makes you think that your plan will work on Omi?"
Chase stepped up to KJ, and cupped her chin in his hand.
"Because, my dear," He said in her ear, his voice barely above a whisper, "It worked on you."
As her eyes widened in a state of anger and sorrow, Chase captured her lips with his own.
i Setting: The Xiaolin temple. Present day. A couple of hours later. /i
Still desperately trying to formulate a plan, the four Xiaolin apprentices sat at the table in the kitchen, failing to think of anything.
Almost ready to give up, their hopes were raised slightly as they heard a faint, "Hello?" from someone out in the garden.
The four ran outside, where they found a girl with a bamboo staff in hand.
"Who are you?" Raimundo asked.
"I'm KJ." She told them. I've heard about four Xiaolin dragons-in-training, and I decided to stop by to see if Master Fung and Dojo were doing their jobs."
As if on cue, all four of the apprentices looked down.
"What's wrong?" KJ asked.
"Dojo and Master Fung were kidnapped." Omi explained.
"Hmm..." KJ furrowed her brow, deep in concentration. "Well I better stay here with you guys. I'll even help you find them...that is, if it's okay with you four."
They all exchanged looks of uncertanty. Could they trust her? Could they afford to take the chance?
They were all thinking the same thing. What else did they have to lose?
"Why not?"
"Of course!"
"C'mon in, pardner!"
"Yeah!"
KJ smiled as they led her into the temple and showed her where she'd by staying.
As soon as everything was settled, and the four had hurried inside to prepare dinner, KJ walked back outside and into the garden. She walked up to a crow perched upon a tree branch and extended her arm.
The crow jumped onto the limb and she told it, "I'm in."
The crow flew off, and successfully relayed the message to Chase Young.

KJ spent a week with Kimiko, Clay, Raimundo and Omi, and managed to earn their trust completely.
With regard to Chase's plan, she decided that now was as good a time as ever to start putting it into action.
"Good news!" She announced, entering the meditation room. "I know where Master Fung and Dojo are."
"Sweet!"
"Most excellent!"
"Awesome!"
"Yee-haw!"
"But I think that it'll take awhile to get there if you guys don't have Dojo to ride one." She told them. "Do you have any Shen Gong Wu?"
They shook their heads.
KJ snapped her fingers. "Darn. Oh well, you guys can handle it..can't you?"
"You bet we can!"
"Of course!"
"Without a doubt!"
"Faster than a jackrabbit in a race against turtles!"
KJ smiled. "Good."
i Setting: Outside of Chase Young's lair. Present day. A considerable amount of time later. /i
"Here we are." KJ told the Xiaolin appretices. "This is the lair of Chase Young. He's the one keeping Master Fung and Dojo captive inside."
The four warriors, who were slightly out of breath, seemed to all perk up a bit at that statement.
KJ smirked as she pressed a selected stone in the wall, opening the door inward, crushing Jack Spicer.
As she led them inside, Omi stopped.
"Wait a second..." He said, the door closing behind them, "How do you know so much about this?"
"Because she works for me." Chase said, appearing not too far away from them.
KJ vanished, then reappeared at Chase's side in her Kacie form as Wuya joined them, holding a captured Dojo in a cage.
All four gasped.
"It was a trap!" Kimiko exclaimed.
"Everybody quick! Dragon X Kumei Formation!" Omi yelled.
Kacie shook her head and extended her left arm.
The shadows of Clay, Kimiko and Raimundo rose up and trapped them in an orb of darkness, leaving only Omi free.
With a flick of her wrist, another orb appeared from the shadows, containing Master Fung.
Omi cautiously ooked around as Chase stepped up to him.
"I have a proposition for you, Omi." He said. "We'll fight. If you win, I'll release you, your friends, the dragon and your master. If I win, you all have to pledge your loyalty to me."
Omi glanced at his trapped friends and sighed deeply. He had to accept- there was no other choice.
"Chase Young, I accpet your challenge." He said boldly.
Chase smirked. "Excellent."
Not waiting for an official start, Omi charged in offensively.
"Tornado Strike, Water!" He cried.
Chase easily managed to avoid the attack, and planted a powerful thrust kick that caught Omi off guard.
He quickly recovered, however, and ran in to attack recklessly once more.
Chase was able to block all of his strikes, and landed a strong back knuckle that sent Omi tumbling backwards.
"It's hopless." He informed the young monk. "You cannot win."
"C'mon Omi!"
"Don't give up!"
"You can do it!"
His friends continued to cheer for him, no matter how hopeless the situation seemed.
Kacie, Wuya, and a newly recovered Jack remained silent on the sidelines.
After a few more unsuccessful attempts at landing a hit, Omi stopped and sighed.
"I am sorry my friends, but he was right. I cannot win." He admitted sadly.
"What?"
"No!"
"Aw, c'mon now, Omi!"
Chase smiled. "Is that a forfit, then?"
Omi nodded. "Yes. I forfit. Chase Young, you win."
Chase nodded to KJ who released Master Fung, Clay, Raimundo and Kimiko. He then snapped his fingers, turning the four of them into cats.
Clay became a lion, Kimiko a snow leopard, Raimundo a tiger, and Master Fung an old mountain lion.
With sad eyes, Omi watched his friends' transformations, and deeply regretted ever trusting KJ.
