A/N: I'm so glad you like it, Bakubear! Yay! I made a good fic! Not that I'm anywhere near done with it. Something can still go drastically wrong...

"Anything to report?" Hannibal said from Ying-Ying's back.

"Nope, everything's going according to plan," Wuya informed as she sat beside him on the ground.

"I'm most surprised that Chase has yet to try anything. I was expecting him to pick up on this earlier."

"That's a good thing, right?"

"No, it may not be. It would be better if Chase reacted sooner than waited, for us at least."

"Chase isn't stupid," Wuya informed.

"Yes, but I hardly think he thinks that our little Jack poses much of a threat. But he will, in time. By the way, how is our little charge doing?"

"I confiscated a switch-blade from his room; I think he's ready to move on.. I've already messed with him quite a bit, you know," Wuya smiled as she examined her fingernails.

"Not too badly, now. We need him in one mental piece."

"I know, but it's so fun pushing him to the edge."

"Indeed, just don't push him over. We need him to join the Xiaolin Temple in order for our plan to work."

"So, about Chase, how do you plan on keeping him guessing?"

"That's none of your concern. Just keep doing your part and everything'll be alright."

"Sure thing, but…"

"Is there a question as to what you should be doing?"

"What should I do when the Xiaolin fools arrive?"

"Don't fight them. Don't even look at them. In fact, let Jack think he's running away, if the scenario allows. Play into it a bit. Send out some flyers, just to keep him guessing. It'll be an easy test for his loyalties."

" 'Loyalties'?"

"Yes, what he'd do to stay at the Xiaolin Temple. What kind of… evils he would commit…"

"Ah, so I should arrange a search party?"

"When the time comes, yes. Make sure they find him, too. I know what kind of destruction he can commit."

"Okay, we are talking about the same Jack, right?"

"I'm talking about a Jack you've never seen."

"You mean a different side of Jack?"

"Quite perceptive, aren't we? Anger. That is the best tool for evil. We need to push him just a little bit further before even the Xiaolin will fear him. This will take time. The longer, the better. The more time Jack has to train and prove himself, the closer to true evil he will become."

"Still talking about Jack Spicer, right?"

Hannibal growled at Wuya.

"Don't you have some mental damage to be doing?" he sneered.

"Right. Moby Morpher!"

As the Shen Gong Wu came apart, the tall red-haired form of Jack's caretaker stood before Hannibal Bean.

"Not much of an improvement, really," he mumbled.

"Well, I'm off to send Jack to the Xiaolin side."

"Good. Tomorrow night they'll show up to get him. Make your concern as convincing as possible."

"You've got it, Hannibal!"
