i Setting: Chase Young's citadel. Present day. The next day. /i

Omi was very saddened by the loss of his friends, as well as his own freedom, but perhaps even more saddened by his new living arrangements.

Each day, he had grown accustomed to Raimundo's idioms, Kimiko's technology, and Clay's metaphors. He now neeed to learn to get used to Jack's robots, Wuya's plotting, KJ's personalities, and Chase's daily training.

He sighed heavily after morning training the first day, while sitting down at the table for breakfast.

Chase was still training, Wuya was planning, and Jack was tinkering with his robots, so Omi was left alone with KJ.

Out of the four Heylin villains, Omi disliked her the most.

Lost in thought, he wouldn't have noticed his breakfast sitting in front of him if she hadn't loudly cleared her throat.

She had brought him a cup of tea, and a platter of assorted fruits.

Omi ignored her gesture of kindess and slowly began eating.

"Look, Omi, I'm sorry." She said, taking the seat across from him.

He continued to ignore her.

She took a deep breath and decided to continue.

"It's not anything personal, honestly, but I was only carrying out Chase's orders. I didn't want to do it; I didn't even think that it would work. You have to believe me."

Still no response.

Sighing, KJ stood up.

"Alright then. If that's how you want to play the game, then that's fine with me. I have my own way of being mean, you know." She informed him, her eyes flashing a dangerous shade of crimson.

Omi paused in his eating to look up at her.

"Why do you work for Chase Young?" He asked her. "You have so much power, and a heart that is pure. Surely you are not really on the Heylin side?"

KJ sighed again and looked down.

"Once upon a time, I wasn't Heylin..." She admitted. "And neither was Chase..." Her story trailed off as physical traits of Serena began to show.

Omi remained silent in hopes that she would continue speaking, but she didn't.

She turned around so that Omi didn't see her tears as she ran off into the library.

A couple of days later, KJ, still in her Serena state, had decided to rebel against Chase, no matter what the cost. She had enough, and couldn't take any more.

She walked in from training and found Chase in the library.

"Can I help you with something?" He asked as she firmly shut the door.

She took a deep breath. "Chase, I don't like your plan."

Chase raised an eyebrow. "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"No." She took another deep breath. "I don't like it, and I won't be a part of it. I'm not helping you any more." She turned around, but didn't start walking.

Chase frowned. "I know that you have more to say- please do."

"All we had on our bet was that I stay here-"

"Stay here and serve me." He cut her off.

"No! No more!" She yelled, turning from Serena back into KJ. "I'm not staying here!" She started walking away.

"You can't leave!" Chase yelled, infuriated. "I own you!"

KJ stopped, but didn't turn around.

Chase heard her take one last shaky breath as she continued to walk out.

As soon as he was sure that she was gone, he let out a frustrated roar as he turned into his dragonoid form.

"Where's KJ?" Jack wondered aloud for all to hear.

Wuya and Omi ignored him.

"What about you, Chase, do you know where KJ is?"

Chase snapped and whirled around. He grabbed Jack's collar and slammed him into a wall.

"Spicer, if you value your life, you will not continue speaking about that girl, understand?" He snarled.

Jack barely managed a nod before Chase released him and backed away.

"Man, what's wrong with him?" Jack asked.

Wuya shrugged.

"I think I know..." Omi trailed off.

As if reading his mind, at that exact moment, Serena walked into the room with a determined look on her face.

Chase frowned, and was about to walk away, when Serena stopped him.

"I'm surprised that you're in your depression state." He told her.

She chose to ignore that comment.

"Chase, I challenge you to a fight."

He lifted an eyebrow in amusement.

"If I win, you have to release Omi, Clay, Raimundo, Kimiko, Dojo, Master Fung, and myself." She told him.

"And if I win? Then what?" Chase asked.

Serena took a deep breath. "If you win, we all remain here."

"What about you? What about your little rebellious problem?"

"And you can do whatever you want with me."

Chase smirked. "Alright. I accept your challenge."

Serena smiled as her appearance changed. "Good."

Now Kacie, she ran in and jumped, attempting a flying side kick.

Chase caught her foot, however, and spun her around.

When she landed, she skidded back a few feet and soon stood upright again.

He ran in offensively this time, and landed a punch or two before Kacie caught on and was able to block with ease.

Turning the tables, she got away by ducking, and sweep kicking Chase's ankles, tripping him. She attempted a kick while he was still down, but he caught her foot and tripped her as well.

Kacie threw her arms out in front of her, and pushed back off of the ground to keep herself from falling.

As she stood upright again, so did Chase, who decided to change into his dragonoid from.

Obviously liking his idea, Kacie turned into Amy. As soon as the transformation was complete, she crossed her arms in front of her face, the backs of her hands touching.

"Crusher Wave!" She yelled, circling her arms up by her ears, and then thrusting them out in front of her with her palms out.

A giant wave of energy shot forward and collided with Chase, sending him crashing into a wall.

"What was THAT?" Jack screamed.

"It's part of the experiment," Chase growled, quickly recovering from the massive blow. "Each personality has abilities of their own."

"That's right." Amy laughed. "Mine is to gather energy and create an attack out of it. Kacie, as you might've guessed, can manipulate shadows and any form of darkness. Serena is a giant magnet-because depression can be contagious. She can manipulate magnetic fields- generally moving anything, if she really tried. Carmen can create and control fire."

Jack decided to be quiet from then on.

Chase grimaced and rushed in to attack. He slashed at her blindly, and in turn, she attempted to land as many hits as she could while blindly striking as well.

Neither of them proved very successful, but it seemed as though Chase hit more. When Amy jumped back for a break, she smirked while turning into Carmen.

"Don't get mad," She explained, "Get even."

She jumped up in a spinning heel hook which hit Chase's face, but at the same time, he stuck his claws upward and pierced her stomach.

As he removed his hand, he turned back into his human form and smiled.

Carmen fell to the ground.

"It looks like I've won again." Chase announced.

"Think again."

Carmen sprung up into a thrust kick which struck Chase's face, sending him falling back. She jumped up to her feet and walked over to Chase, who remained on the ground.

"I win." She smiled, turning back into KJ.

Jack's jaw dropped.

Chase grimaced as KJ helped him up.

"I lost, and as promised...all of you are free to go."
