I. Guilt and changes

The fight was over for now, and the Heylin all went back to their homes to treat their wounds. The new leader of the monks was very talented in fighting them; who would have thought that the Brazilian would make such a great leader? Everyone guessed that it would be Omi…

It was a warm day, but dark clouds had begun to gather in the sky as a red-haired woman approached a big building. This was the only place in the world where she could go now; here was the only person who would let her stay. She slowly went up to the door and knocked. She waited for two minutes before the door opened, revealing a smiling boy. Wuya gasped; she had heard rumors from the Heylin that Jack had felt so rejected by the dark side that he had sent his dark self back to the Ying-Yang World and given up searching for the Wu.

"Wuya! It's so great to see you- you look pretty today." He said, grinning and hugging the witch. Wuya couldn't help but hug him back. "What brings you here?" he asked after letting her go.

"Well, Hannibal is not interested in me anymore, and Chase is still…"

"No need to explain; come inside. You're always welcome here, and I think I can get one of the guest rooms ready in five minutes," said Good Jack, as he led her into the big living room. "I'll get you some tea first and then get the guest room ready." And with that, he disappeared in to the kitchen, only to come back with a silver tray of cookies and tea. After setting it down in front of her, the redhead left.

Wuya stared after him; she couldn't help but feel guilt rise up in her. In a way, she had the feeling that she was one of the reasons Jack had given up. He did everything for her, and what did she do? She'd betrayed him seven times, and never appreciated his hard work or even said a simple 'thank you' to him. It was strange, but she had to admit that, after all those years she'd spent alone, she had gotten attached to the boy. Her pride hadn't let her realize it, and now…it was to late…or did she have a chance to make some things right?

Three weeks later…

Chase Young sat on his throne, feeling slightly bored. He would have never predicted that he would feel like that one day. Omi held on to his friends even more, and the Wu didn't interest him. His lair seemed so silent in the last weeks. He even had begun to miss that worm and the old hag. He'd heard rumors that the boy had sealed his bad side and that the witch had begun feeling guilty and was now acting like the boy's mother. Now that scene was one of the ones he couldn't imagine seeing.

His thoughts were broken as one of his panthers entered the gigantic throne room, followed a young woman in a black cat suit. He already wanted to send her away, but the warrior almost fell from his throne as she begun yelling at him.

"I hope you are happy now! Now you got what you wanted!" she screamed and Chase needed to cower his ears.

"What are you even talking about?" he asked, checking his ears to see if they still worked.

"You want to know what I'm talking about…you want to know? Jack and Wuya left the dark side because of YOU!"

"The worm was useless and that witch was driving me crazy," he answered simply.

"Jack, maybe was a burden, but he admired you the most of us all…"she said quietly as she walked out of the room, leaving the overlord alone again.
