Chapter 2: Plans that go Awry

"So what is this favor you ask of me, Chase Young?" Omi asked.

"Only this. You will help me, on the side of evil, take over the world!"

There was a stunned silence. Omi said quietly, "I owe you a small favor. You are asking a very big favor."

Chase smiled. "Just kidding. I do want you to take some lessons from me." Seeing the relieved expression on Omi's face, he added, "On how to be evil. Then maybe you'll see things from my point of view." He laughed and Omi began to feel just a little scared.

In the Temple

Jack was poised above the kitchen window. Below him boiled a pot of soup that was Clay's, Omi's, Raimundo's, and Kimmiko's dinner. "So this is your brilliant plan? Poison their food?" Wuya hissed angrily.

"Pipe down, willya?" Jack told her as he poured the contents of a bottle into the soup. Then he pulled himself back on the roof.

"How many times do I have to tell you! This is Phase I. They have to be alive for Phase II to take effect. So, why would I be poisoning them?" Jack told her as loudly as he dared. From below them, Kimmiko's voice drifted up.

"Are you sure you haven't seen Omi? He should have come in a long ttime ago. I'm worried about the little guy."

"Aww, don't be. The little dude will come back when he feels like it. Now, let's eat, I'm starving!" Raimundo's voice came.

"What, Omi's not here? Well that should make my job easier, although less satifactory." Jack mumbled to himself.

"What are you babbling on about?" Wuya asked crossly.

"Target Number 1 isn't here! I shall just have to get him back later, when I kick his butt in a Showdown!" Jack responded.

A couple hours later

"Boy am I tired. I must have worked harder than I thought at Texas Hold'Em. I hope no one will break in tonight, 'cause my soccer team plays tomorrow and I don't want to miss the game." Raimundo was telling Clay.

"Yup, I'm pooped." Clay replied.

"Night all, I'm gonna turn in." Kimmiko told them.

Jack was waiting outside, ear presssed to the wall. "It worked. Wuya, my plan worked! Who's a genius now?"

Wuya rolled her eyes and said, without much enthusiasm, "You are. Now let's get the Shen Gong Wu and get out of here."

"Okay, okay! I'm getting the wu, alright?"

Jack snuck down the circular stairway, dumping Shen Gong Wu in a sack as he went along. "Have I really lost this many showdowns?" he wondered aloud.

"Yes Jack, your incompetence has lost us all these Shen Gong Wu." Wuya answered.

"That was a rhetorical question." Jack muttered angrily.

In Chase's lair

"Yes Omi, you're learning to cheat. And, you know, you're pretty good at it, once you get into the right spirit." Chase complimented Omi as they sparred.

"Oh yes, who knew that being evil was so cold." Omi said, once again using bad slang.

"I believe you mean "cool". Chase corrected. "Enough sparring, time for a little race."

"Ha! You will eat the dirt off my shoes!" Omi laughed.

Back at the Temple

Jack was dragging the bag loaded with Shen Gong Wu across the floor to the Dragon's rooms. He was still covered in the Shroud of Shadows, which, surprisingly, covered the bag of wu, too. He hoisted it over his shoulder once he got close enough. Tip-toeing forward, he managed to get close to Raimundo. Gentl he set the bag down next to him. Unfortunatly, it caught on his belt and ripped it off. He dropped the bag and made a grasp for his pants. He didn't notice Raimundo sit up and disappear, nor did he hear the other two get up.

"Hey guys, check this out!" Raimundo called. Jack looked up, just in time to see Raimundo shine the Disk of Light on him. "Now, how many people can de-pants themselves?" Raimundo taunted. Jack turned as red as his hair. Kimmiko and Clay laughed so hard they fell right over. "Next time you try and put us to sleep, don't drop the bottle in the soup." Raimundo continued. Jack dropped the bag and the Shroud, then began edging away. "Oh no you don't." Raimundo said as he grabbed Jack and dragged him back over. "We're not done laughing yet."

Back with Omi and Chase

"Ah ha! The student has beaten the teacher!" Omi shouted as he did a victory dance.

"There is nothing more I will teach you right now. Time to go back to your friends." Chase said and they disappeared.

They showed up in the Temple gardens. "Oh, and Omi, remember I taught you today, so you still owe me that little favor." Chase said before disappearing again. Omi frowned, then with a huge sigh, headed toward his room.

In the Temple

Jack had never felt more humiliated in his life. He stood, pants down, surrounded by Raimundo, Kimmiko and Clay. He moaned, "The only thing that could make this worse it if that twerp, Omi showed up."

"I found our missing Shen Gong Wu." Omi said as he stepped into the room, arms full of the Shen Gong Wu Jack had taken earlier. His eyes fell on Jack and he collapassed, laughing so hard. The wu flew up in the air and landed around him.

"And it got worse." Noticing the others weren't paying him attention any more, he slipped silently away.
