Okay, so this is the forth chapter. I have drilled my imagination to the bone so...I will be putting this story on hiatus. Also because I have a Serious writer's block. So..I will probably start a brain-relaxer in a couple of days to get my imagination going again. So...enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 4

"Come on, men! We must capture the Jade Dragon before it's too late!" a demonic looking monster with black, atrocious skin yelled.

"Her death shall be Evil's downfall!" another exclaimed wearing armor.

Lily was breathless yet again. She had already killed several of these Ying-Yang soldiers, but it was no use. Before, she tried reasoning with them.

"I'm not evil!" she screamed as she ran into a dark ally. She quickly hid in the shadows, watching the monsters trying to look for her elsewhere. She sighed out of relief and stepped back into the dim light of the ally, bumping into a cloaked figure head-on. They both fell back with an "Oomph!"

"I heard a sound over there!" one of the soldiers said as the group went back toward the ally.

"I can help you get out of here…" the cloaked figure said as he offered her his hand.

Lily had no time for questions, so she accepted the help. Both the cloaked figure and Lily ran out of the ally, and hid behind a wall of a rotting building. All hope seemed to be lost as the soldiers neared the area when a small girl with a single blonde braid up to her waist approached them.

"I can help the two of you get out of here." She said, including the cloaked figure. He stayed quiet, while Lily asked questions to the girl.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I am Olivia, the Guardian of the Jade Dragon." She replied seriously.

Lily looked confused. "But you're just a little girl! You can not possibly be my guardian!"

"Ah, but I can. These eyes have seen more time pass then you will ever hope to see in your lifetime." Olivia replied.

Lily nodded, she could tell she was serious. "So have you heard from Alexandria?" she asked hopeful.

"The Moonstone Dragon is worried about you. She wishes to see you again sometime soon." Olivia said.

"Where is she, do you know?"

Olivia sighed, "I am not the Moonstone Dragon's Guardian. I am here to assist you."

"Alright then…but as you can see…I am not in any danger at the moment…" A tall figure overshadowed Lily from behind.

"Jade Dragon, you WILL surrender yourself to us or you shall die." The monster said. Lily looked around. Olivia was the only one there with her.

So much for helping me get out of here, she thought referring to the cloaked figure. Lily turned around to face the monster. "Um…Guardian? I really, really think that I need your assistance right now!"

Olivia shook her head. "No you don't. You can handle this one by yourself." Olivia said calmly.

The monster picked up Lily from her necklace, surprisingly, it didn't snap.

"Now you shall be killed and good will reign once more!" She struggled against the monster's grasp.

"For the last time…I'm not evil!" she yelled, her gray eyes flashing with green light. She rose up her palm and pushed the demon away with a jade lightning bolt. She landed on the ground with her feet. More soldiers came seeing the monster lay dead on the ground.

"Who's next?" she said taking her stance.

Several monsters came at once; Lily wouldn't be able to handle all of them. Olivia stepped in and pushed the soldiers back with a psychic force. Again, another demon grabbed Lily from her neck and picked her up. She struggled for air. The monster grinned, showing yellow, decayed teeth. He laughed.

"How the Sapphire Dragon will be pleased…" He said as he squeezed her neck tighter.

Her eyes widened as it grew harder to breathe.

"I am not like the other soldiers who want to kill you. You are connected to the Sapphire Dragon more than the other two Dragons. You two are able to change the world! But these creatures don't know the purity that is inside you. But I…I am here to change that."

He whispered close to her face. She smelled the putrid rotten smell of his breath.

"Excuse me, but may I cut in?" a voice said from behind the monster. It was the cloaked figure.

It's about time…, she thought.

He rose out a type of gun-looking weapon that shot out blobs of green goo. He fired it at the soldier several times. The demon fell on top of Lily, making her stuck under his ribs. The cloaked figure offered his gloved hand to Lily.

"Need a hand?" he asked with a smirk.

"Strange timing for jokes, don't you think?" she replied. She stood up and brushed off some extra dirt off her jacket.

"I think the right phrase is: 'Thank you for saving my life." He said.

"I don't think there's enough time…look out behind you!" she said.

A soldier hit him over the head with a club. "Great…now he's unconscious." She said punching the monster in the gut. "Olivia…we have to get out of here!" she said trying to pick up the cloaked figure.

"Follow me!" she said running to a corner of a different building.

Lily struggled dragging the cloaked figure where Olivia was at.

"You found a portal out of this place?' Lily said when she reached Olivia, who was standing next to a portal.

"Yes...but it is growing smaller as we speak. Why did you bring him?" She asked with a small smile on her face.

Lily looked down at the cloaked figure. "I don't know…I just did. Why?" she asked.

Olivia sighed, "This portal leads to the real world. This person here belongs there as well, but he will give you a defense that you will need to unite with the Dragons of the Stones."

"Really? Who is he? Is the defense strong?" she asked.

Olivia nodded, "Yes, it is very strong. And this boy shall give it to you." Olivia pulled off his hood.

Lily looked at him. He had red hair and a strange mark underneath his right eye.

"His name is Jack Spicer." Olivia said.

Lily nodded. "I best get going…one more question…what will I do once I get to the real world?"

"…You shall do what your heart tells you." Olivia replied. "Go! Hurry, I will stay with him until he wakes up." She said as Lily stepped into the portal. Lily took one last look at Jack, lying on the floor unconscious. She turned and ran. Olivia still had the defense in mind. "Yes, his defense is very strong…his defense he will give her…is love."Olivia said.

Lily jolted up from the mat. "Who-What happened?" She looked around, she was in her room. It was just a dream…, she thought. "Or more so…a memory." She said to herself. She stood up and looked down at her pendant. "The puzzle piece…" she whispered.

She walked outside the temple. It was about late evening. She walked into the Shen Gong Wu chamber and played with the chimes that unlocked the stairway. She found the combination and walked inside the chamber. She found a stone box with a carving of a puzzle piece. She pulled it out and examined the piece. It had a picture of a dragon on it. Despite the fact that it was made out of stone, the scales showed a faded color of blue on it. She touched the scales with her fingertips…feeling something…someone.

"Lily!" Omi yelled out. "What are you doing in the Shen Gong Wu chamber?"

Lily dropped the puzzle piece, startled. She turned around and saw Kimiko, Clay, Omi and Rai with concerned faces. She picked up the piece, ignoring the question.

"Where is Master Fung? I need to see him right away." She said.

"Alright...but why? What is the matter?" he asked.

"Can you just please show me where he's at?" she asked, irritated. Omi nodded as he made his way through his friends to lead the way to Master Fung.

"Have you noticed that Lily has changed a bit?" Clay whispered to Kimiko.

"I haven't changed Clay…I'm just determined to get some answers around here is all." Lily replied not turning to face him.

Dog gone! She heard me, he thought.

"Master Fung! Lily wishes to speak with you!" Omi yelled waving his hands in the air, running towards Master Fung.

"And what might be the matter young one?" he asked. She showed him the puzzle piece.

"Do you know what this is?"

He looked it over. "Yes, it is the Sapphire Dragon."

Raimundo jumped up. "Ah! Where? Where is it?" he asked scared. Everyone stared at him. "Uh…sorry. You mean the Shen Gong Wu, right?" he asked again, trying to change the subject.

"No, the real Sapphire Dragon." Lily said. She turned back to Master Fung, "So you know who I am then?" she asked.

Master Fung nodded, "Yes…you are the Jade Dragon." He said casually.

Everyone gasped. "Lily, why didn't you tell us that you were the Jade Dragon?" Kimiko asked.

Lily sighed, "To tell you the truth, I didn't know that I was until right now."

Omi looked confused. "But…how?" was all he could ask.

Lily readied herself to explain what she had 'dreamt' earlier. From talking about the Sapphire Dragon right down to Jack Spicer helping her. "But before I entered the Ying-Yang World, I really had nowhere else to go."

"What about your parents?" Kimiko asked.

"Right after I was born, a Heylin warrior killed my mother to 'stop the upcoming purity and goodness'. And then, shortly after that, a rebellious ex-Xiaolin warrior killed my father for practically the same reason. To 'stop the upcoming evil'." She sighed as she looked down.

"So…you are an orphan like me?" Omi asked.

Lily forced a small smile, "I guess so, yeah."

"So, Jack Spicer actually helped you?" Rai asked.

"Well…yeah. But I suppose I didn't remember anything about my past when I past the portal out of the Ying-Yang World." She shrugged.

"And this Sapphire Dragon guy isn't one of the nicest of the Dragons?" Clay asked.

"Well, of course not! And not just out of the Dragons, but probably the biggest jerk in the universe!" she said. "And we need that other Mystical Puzzle piece!"

"How many puzzle pieces are there?" Omi asked.

Lily counted on her fingers. "Oh only about…nine pieces, but four of those pieces are our pendants…see?" she said showing Omi her pendant. Omi reached out to touch it.

"No Omi don't!" Lily warned but he already touched it.

A burning sensation filled his hand with pain.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" he yelled running around in circles.

"Whoa, why did it do that?" Rai asked.

"My pendant thought Omi was going to steal it so it defended itself."

"Speaking of defenses…what was Jack supposed to give to you?" Kimiko asked.

"I don't know…I left before I asked my guardian." Lily sighed. Now that I think of it…Olivia looked a lot like the little girl that put Jack and I in the tickle fight showdown! Wait a minute! It WAS her!

Review please! Thanks and see you all in my brain-relaxer story...The many RANDOM adventures of Jack and Claire Spicer.

Jack: ...What? Is that supposed to mean?

K.G.: Don't worry ya'll...it's his cousin!
