Sunday morning
Chase and Stella slept in till 9, the most Chase will allow himself to sleep in. He woke up to Stella on her side away from him, not on his chest. He spooned her, nuzzling her neck.
"Chase, stop it!" She giggled.
"It's time to get up, Princess."
"Okay okay." She replied, stretching in his arms, the sheets slipping off her and revealing her still naked body from the night before. Chases eyes widened and brought her back to his arms when she tried to get out of bed, to her confusion.
"On second thought, maybe we should stay in just a little longer." He growled in her ear, rubbing his already hard member against her. She giggled and turned to him.
"I like the sound of that."
After a long, heated session, they were dressed and back in his training corridor, fighting stances ready.
Chase lunged for her, but she blocked and kicked his shin, making him cringe. He chopped her side when she tried grabbing his shoulders to hurl him over and she yelled in pain. Her eyes lit up with sunlight and she pushed him away with her magic, resulting him to hit his back on a pillar. Stellas eyes grew red and she made the same fluid motions again to summon her dark magic.
"Eternal sunset!" And she shot out and hit chase in the chest again before he could reach her.
"AUGH..!" He gasped. He stripped chest plate off, revealing his abs and the massive bruise on his chest from the blast.
Stella went back to normal and ran to him.
"Are you ok?!"
"Yes... you just went a little too rough with me, that's all."
"I'm so sorry!" She went to touch it gently, making Chase jump in pain.
"Ahh ahh don't touch it!" He cringed. Stella stepped back and looked like she was going to cry, but chase quickly went to calm her down.
"You still did well, Stella. Don't worry about it, it's just a little bruise."
"I still hurt you, though! Ugh why can't i just get my enchantix already so i can heal you ?!" She mumbled, but froze up when she let it slip again.
"What is this enchantix you keep talking about?"
Stella sighed. "It's the next transformation after my regular fairy form. It's when you become a "true fairy"."
"How do you earn it?"
"Ultimate sacrifice."
"Ugh more goody goody stuff."
Stella giggled. "Yeah well you are with someone on the good side."
"As infuriating as it is." He rolled his eyes. Stella pushed his bruised to make him cringe again.
"Don't do that !"
"Maybe i should teach you that spell another time. You need to heal up."
"I think that would be fine."
Stella lead him to his room, where his jungle cats were already ready for them with medical supplies. She laid him down gently in bed.
"I'm really sorry, Chase."
"Don't be. It's okay. "
Stella started tearing up again.
"Stella, this is a good thing. You're starting to be at MY level of magic. I got a little banged up but it's okay." He grabbed her hands and pulled them to his chest, making her look him in the eyes.
"I just don't want to hurt the man I love." She sobbed silently. Chases eyes widened, his face blushing,using his dark power to pull her towards him to give her a big kiss. One with meaning. Stella returned it and gently laid a hand on the bruise. Chase jumped a little, but stayed put as to not ruin the moment. They pulled back in a daze, staring into each other's eyes.
"Stella.."
"Yes?"
"There isn't anything you could do you to hurt me."
"But your-"
"That's nothing. Knowing you truly care for an evil man like me is enough for me to withstand anything."
Stella smiled and kissed his forehead.
"I should probably get back to the temple before they realize Your minion is too moody to be me. "
"Very well. I will send someone to tell you when I'm better."
"Ok." She kissed him one last time and walked out.
"Goodbye, Chase."
"Goodbye, Stella."
The monks were all eating dinner. A simple beef, veggies,and rice combo that's suitable for growing teens. Stella was chowing down when the others gave her suspicious looks.
"Stella, are you okay?" Kimiko asked
She gulped her food down, returning the looks theyre giving her.
"Of course. Why do you ask?"
"Well, this morning you weren't yourself." Omi said
"How?"
" Well for starters you growled at me when i asked to use your hair brush." Said Kimiko
"And you kicked dojo when he wouldn't move out of your way ." Clay pointed at a bandaged up dojo whimpering in the corner.
"Oh my gosh! Dojo, I'm so sorry !" She said while scooping him up in her arms. She kissed his bandage and he relaxed.
"It's ok. I'm sure it was an accident."
"It was. I'm sorry for my behavior this morning. Just female problems that you, Kimiko, will surely understand very soon."
"It's alright. We're just wondering if you're feeling ok."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry." She mused. She walked away with a worried look on her face.
An hour later
"Guys! Sheng gong Wu alert!" Dojo said, coming into the barracks twisting and shaking. The monks ran up to him to inquire more information.
"What is it?" Asked clay
"The eclipse bracelet. Whoever possesses it can cause shadows in random places or temporary retinal blindness if you shine it in someone's eyes. It's also a pretty important Wu! If combined with the sister Wu, ring of solaria, it can help cause 10,000 years of darkness by causing a permanent eclipse."
"So we need to get it before someone like chase young." Omi commented
"Well lucky for us, Master Fung finally gave me back the ring of solaria. Where do you think the Wu is dojo?"
"I'm itching south, south East. So South America!"
"Okay. Ring of solaria!" She yelled and slammed the staff to teleport them over. They reached Peru where dojo took care of the rest of the transportation, leading them to The San Pedro de Atacama region of Northern Chile.
They looked around the ghost town, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, and went looking into the desert. They stopped at a valley with high mountains and craters, with white sand covering the ground.
"This place looks like moon craters." Exclaimed Kimiko
"That's because this is the Valle de la Luna." Raimundo said
"Valley of the moon?" Stella asked. He nodded and everyone went searching.
"The Wu is close by."
"I can sense dark magic nearby." Stella said, rubbing her forehead.
"Because Darkness has just arrived." Jack yelled, flying down and kicking up dust in stellas face. She looked up to see both jack and chase standing in front of her in the cloud of dust. Everyone got into their fighting stances before dojo pointed out the Wu in a crater 500 feet ahead of them. The race was on. Jack called out his jack bots and the monks were all fighting them.
"Stella! Go get the Wu! We got this!" Raimundo yelled.
Stella nodded and transformed to catch up to the two heylin members. Jack, having courage this time, turned back and tried to kick Stella in the face. Stella grabbed his tiny man foot and gave him a death glare.
"I know...you did NOT... JUST TRY TO KICK MY FAACE!!" She screamed and punched a ball of light in his jaw, grabbing his shoulders and dragging his face into the dirt then flinging him over her shoulder. She scanned the ground trying to find the Wu before relaxing chase wasn't ahead of her anymore. She smiled and dove into a crater where the Wu was hiding, when a voice rang out.
"Looking for me?" He asked from behind her.
Stella screamed and lunged for the Wu, with chase trying to pull her hair back but tripping over a rock. Stella turned to see and ended up having chase fall on top of her, dust settling to them being face to face, eyes widened. The monks and jack all groaned at the fall and awkward situation. The two soon snapped out of it and put their hands on the Wu, a tie. Stella pushed him off with her free hand to face him in a more appropriate position.
"I challenge you to a xiaolin showdown. I wager my ring of solaria."
"I wager the eye of dashi."
"The game is shadow realm. The first to reach the eclipse bracelet wins
"Let's see how well you do in darkness, Fairy of the Sun and Moon."
"LETS GO! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"
The eclipse bracelet covered a fake sun to portray as the "seeker". If you were caught in the sunlight, you lose the showdown. The crater like formations grew to deeper, bigger holes from the entire valley to the eclipse bracelet, sitting on a tall peak.
Stella and Chase glared at each other with glowing eyes, while chases red was natural, Stellas yellow was her using her magic to look more intimidating.
"GONG YI TAMPAI!" They yelled and quickly hid from the light that shined immediately after yelling. Stella looked over to see chase already in the lead, his dark hair and body armor blending in nicely with the darkness. Stella grabbed a rock from nearby and threw it at his head. He growled, letting the Wu know his location and he dove into a crater, giving Stella the opportunity to use the ring of solaria to teleport two craters ahead of her, and two craters away from chase. She saw the light hit her hiding spot, so she hugged the curves of the crater to avoid detection. When the coast was clear she stuck her head out to see chase sliding into her spot and kicking her in the face. She fell back but kept her grunt to a stifled noise. She threw a punch but he blocked and pulled her arm back to pin her down. Dark matter covered her hands and wings so she couldn't get up or fly, making her vulnerable to the seeker. He threw her out of the crater, but Stella was able to land on her feet and slide into a different one before the light hit her. She started to glow to fade the darkness away and popped back up to shoot him a bird. Chase scowled and ducked back down When the light hit him, which stella took the opportunity to get closer to the peak. Chase came back up and sprinted over, darkness covering his feet to make him go faster. He witnessed Stella struggling to get out of her spot because the seekers light trailed by a strand of her hair sticking out and went to see what its light reflected.
Chase went to a crater close to hers and started yelling from his hiding place.
"Hey, Pixie! Get ready to lose again to the most evil man on earth!"
The light went over to his spot and he went into his dragon form and dug into the dirt. From above he could hear footsteps: Stellas. He clawed through and went where he would think she would run through and took out his Wu.
"Eye of dashi !" He said. Lighting shot out and hit Stella, flinging her back and knocking her out. The light hit her and the showdown ended.
Stella woke up to the monks freaking out about her and the lost Wu and chase laughing.
"Thanks for the new trinket, Princess Stella." He laughed as he walked away.
"Oh no no no! He's gonna start the 10,000 years of darkness!" Kimiko yelled
"Stella how could you lose !? Raimundo yelled
"This as bad as a cat going into a dog show." Clay said sadly.
"We must prepare ourselves for the end of the world!" Omi started
"QUIET!" Stella yelled, punching the ground with light that crumbled the earth and shook them up.
Stella stood up and glared at all of them, who were shrinking in fear.
"WE HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!"she started
"But chase-" omi started
"HAS THE RING OF SOLARIA. THE SAME RING THAT HE CANNOT HAVE ACCESS TO. THE RING NO ONE BUT ME HAS ACCESS TO. SO NO ONE BUT ME CAN START THE 10,000 YEARS OF DARKNESS. HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN THAT LITTLE DETAIL??"
The monks jaws dropped at the missing link to that logic and melted to the ground, relieved that the world wasn't ending soon. Stella rolled her eyes and walked away from them.
