A/N: Here's my twisted logic: The Lao Mang Lon soup gives you demonic powers. I reasoned that if you go into the Ying Yang world using only one of the yo-yo's as a demon you'd come out, well, angelic. I'll leave him like this for a while. Poor Jack, after all this, I'll be surprised if he doesn't become bi-polar. lol, listen to me, commenting on my own story... tsk tsk, Cara...

In the Ying Yang world, Jack still held the Ying Ying bird. Lifting the Tongue of Tsaiping to his lips, he tried negotiations once more.
"Care to tell me where the antidote is before you become pure good?"
"The same will happen to you when you go back through the portal, so what's the difference?" the bird screeched.
"I'll come back for my other half, but you will not."
"What is the polar opposite of pure evil?" the bird asked methodically.
"Pure good," Jack answered simply, "But nothing is that simple."
"Then what is the opposite of a demon?"
"An angel," Jack rasped.
"Hm," Ying Ying nodded.
"If you tell me what I want to know, I'll let you remain evil."
"'Let me'? I don't need your charity."
"Then we shall return. Yang Yo-Yo!"
A portal ripped open before Kimiko. Out stepped a creature unlike anything she had seen before. A tall creature wearing white armor similar to what Jack had on, with flaming red hair stood before her. Its eyes were soft and kind. From behind, the others saw the wings folded behind its back.
"Yang Yang," it said softly, "Tell me what I need to know."
It released the bird that was in its hand. A beautiful dove with blue stripes flew into the air.
"The land of Nowhere at the base of the tree with seven knots, that is where you must go, though you will not find what you are looking for."
"What do you mean?"
"Not everything is as it seems," the Yang Yang bird sang before flying off into the sky, "Farewell," it chirped.
"J-Jack?" Kimiko asked timidly.
"Yes," he breathed.
"What… What happened?"
"Give me the Ying Yo-Yo. I cannot stay this way…"
Kimiko scoffed, "Why not? You're pure good! You're… You're an angel for god's sakes!"
"It's as bad as being pure evil. I… I just want to be normal again… As normal as normal is…"
"It may be better this way, for now," Chase said as he walked over to him, "Without the voices of the shadows, perhaps focus is will come easier. I believe that that will be most necessary for finding where it is we seek to go."
Jack looked to the ground, "Perhaps," he turned to Chase, "We are now truly equals," Jack smiled.
"Well," Rai clapped his hands, "This is interesting and all, but we have an antidote to find."
"You are right," Chase turned to him, "I know the land of Nowhere very well. This tree with seven knots should not be too hard to find."
Dojo appeared and turned into his larger self.
"Hop on," he called, "We got a tree to find."
Chase and the other dragons hopped onto Dojo's back. Jack just spread his wings and followed them into the land of Nowhere.
