Setting: Chase Young's citadel. Present day. A few hours later.

"I've got it!" KJ exclaimed, running out into the hall with a book in her hands.

She ran into Chase, knocking both of them down.

"Sorry." She apologized, rubbing her head.

Chase said nothing as he stood up and offered her a hand.

She took it and got to her feet.

"What do you want?" He asked in a bit of an annoyed tone.

"Oh, right." KJ picked up the book and flipped to the right page. "Here-it's a memory erasing spell. This is the only way I could find how to sever a connection."

Chase took the book from her and read what the spell was.

"Alright. Though this is inconveniant, this will have to do." He sighed.

"So, Shix hypnotises people?" KJ asked. "Is that how he kidnapped Master Fung?'

Chase's eyes narrowed. "No." He replied bluntly.

"Oh c'mon, Chase." KJ argued. "Why won't you tell me anything about this guy? If you weren't so sure of yourself, I'd start to think that you don't know anything."

Chase frowned. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again- it's too dangerous. If I tell you anything that you don't absolutely need to know, it could jeopardize my whole plan."

It was KJ's turn to frown, and she crossed her arms.

"Fine. I'll just go sit in the library and quietly await further instruction like a good little henchman."

"KJ..." Chase tried to stop her from walking away, but it didn't work.

As she stormed off into the library, Chase angrily followed.

"Go away- I'm doing what you want, and I'm leaving you alone." She told him.

"No, forget that. I want to know what's bothering you." Chase told her.

"No, you don't. You want me to feel better so that nothing goes wrong with your plan." She informed him. "I have been your henchman for many, many hundreds of years, and so I know exactly how you operate. You can't fool me."

Chase frowned. "Okay. I will be completely honest. Yes, you being upset will not be good for my plan, and that's why you need to be honest as well. You can start by telling me how you feel."

"I hate you." She said plain and simple.

"Really? You really hate me?" He questioned.

KJ nodded. "That's what I said-I hate you."

Chase smirked. "That's interesting."

Becoming alarmed, KJ's eyes widened.

"I find it interesting, because about a month ago, you said that you loved me."

KJ blushed. "But I also said that I hated you."

Chase nodded. "Ah yes; your contradicting statements. I'll never forget those words...what did you really mean to say?"

KJ didn't reply.

"We have to learn to be honest if we want to prevail in this battle...understand?"

KJ nodded. "Sorry...But when I told you I loved you...I meant it."

"I see...That's all I needed to know. I'll be in my room, planning." He turned and walked out.

KJ looked down and closed her eyes when she was sure that he was gone. She took a deep breath, and sat down on the floor with her head in her hands.

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

KJ was sitting in the library when it happened.

She felt a monsterous shaking, and a loud explosive sound.

She ran out of the library and into the main hall to find everything crashing down around her.

"Chase!" She yelled out. "What's happening!"

Chase came running out from the dining room with a confused look on his face.

"Shix." He told her.

That's all he had to say for her to understand.

"What's the plan?" KJ asked.

"You stay here. I'll take care of the plan and Shix." Chase ordered as Shix came crashing through the ceiling.

KJ frowned and stepped back as Chase smirked and Shix cackled.

"Shix, I have a deal for you." Chase announced.

As soon as he started to talk, KJ groaned.

This was his plan? The great plan that he wouldn't tell KJ at all no matter what? Oh come one, even Jack Spicer could've come up with a better plan than Chase's routine 'beat me or I'll turn you into a cat' plan.

"We'll fight." Chase continued to tell Shix, "If I win, you return all of the victims of your abductions. If you win, I'll agree to serve you."

Shix mimicked Chase's smirk. "Oh no, Chase. If I win, I want her."

He pointed to KJ and both hers and Chase's eyes widened.

"Chase...you wouldn't bet me on a fight...would you?" KJ asked him hopefully.

Chase thought for a moment before replying.

"If I remember correctly, Chase said that he loved me, too." KJ told herself. "He wouldn't bet me on a fight with someone like Shix."

"Shix, I accept. If I win, you let everyone go. If you win, KJ will serve you." Chase nodded.

KJ's jaw dropped as Shix walked up to the two of them.

"I look forward to my victory." He smirked.

Chase narrowed his eyes. "Enjoy that thought while it lasts."

KJ moved out of the way as Shix and Chase shook hands, signaling the start of their fight.
