---Back at the temple---
"That was a complete waste of your time and strength." Keri opposed.
"Why? We went there and got you out, you're back with us, it's not a complete waste of our time and our strength." Kimiko talked back.
"It was. I was going to destroy myself when you all use your elements at the same time before I destroy you guys or the world, once I had a chance to get out that chamber."
"Why destroy yourself? You'll just need focus to keep your cool, so it's not a problem, is it?" It took a while for Keri's stern face to get to Raimundo. "Okay, so maybe there's something else in the way. So what?"
"So, that 'something' is the exact thing. It's my prophecy to destroy the world, no other way. Either I fulfil it myself, or there will be one person to 'assist' me." Keri spoke in a 'matter of fact' attitude.
"And who is that 'one person'? Omi?" "Hey! Not in a million years shall I turn the world to bones!" "Rai?" "Why would I make her destroy the world? She's one good friend you know. Part of us." "Okay…Clay?" "Noo way partner." "So who is it?" Kimiko's face turned curious.
"How about you?" Raimundo, Clay and Omi said in unison to receive the infamous puppy dog look on Kimiko's face. "That's a no." Once again they muttered at the same time.
"It's Chase Young. Remember I said that the room I was in was draining me away bit by bit? Well, where I end up, is…inside of Chase, granting him my powers. However, since he took me out the chamber confidently thinking that I could be bait to capture you. I had all my powers back. I think it's part of his plan, somehow to get us all back at the temple." Keri replied calmly to see everyone surprised, even Master Fung.
"Well, if that is the case…"Master Fung started, but was cut off.
"Look, if I don't leave this world, Chase is going to destroy it. I have to do this, but I can't without all of you. Please, focus all of your attacks on me when I say so." Keri ordered everyone. "Hurry, we don't have much time."
Raimundo seemed a bit unsure. Seeing this, Keri hugged Raimundo. "Thanks for everything, but I have to do this. You were a good friend. I won't forget you." She then turned to the other monks. "Come on guys, stand in a square. Chase is gonna come any minute. Hurry!" Keri beckoned them.
"Everyone, NOW!" Keri shouted.
"Tsunami Strike, Water!"
"Judalli Flip, Fire!"
"Typhoon Boom, Wind!"
"Size-mac-kick, Earth!"
Water, Fire, Wind and rocks all came flying at Keri. The last words that she said to everyone were "Thanks for everything." As a tear came trickling down. She absorbed the impact as an orb of light glowed around her then shrunk and she disappeared with the light.
"She was a very valuable friend." Omi whispered.
"Yeah, it was either this or the end of the world, she cared. Now she's gone." Kimiko was down as well.
"Little partner's gone when we were just getting to know her." Clay was agreed.
"Hey guys. Keri will always be our friend. Even if she's gone, she's still in our hearts. What would she want us to do? Sit here and think about her?" Raimundo was the only one with a happier spirit.
"Rai's right. She'd want us to beat Chase Young and his sorry cats up along with the witch, Wuya. Wouldn't she? Let's fight until the end, for Keri." Kimiko quickly changed moods.
"For a most dear friend, Keri." Omi's hand was placed the middle. "For Keri." Then Kimiko. "For little partner Keri." Clay's was third. "For Keri." And Raimundo's was last.
"Well, I see a reunion for all the monks. Where is the energy monk?" Chase was seen standing at the entrance with his cats and Wuya.
"She's gone. Now, you've come to the wrong place, Chase Young." Raimundo announced.
"Well, seems I have come for nothing." Chase was about to turn when Omi replied.
"You have come for a fight. Now, you shall receive one!"
Omi raced towards Chase and both Heylin and the Xiaolin side started a long battle. The Heylin side fought for the sake of their lives as the Xiaolin fought for the sake of Keri.
