Jack flew above the monster and could feel his stomach turning at the height, but ignored it as he neared the creature's head. He only had to grab the Wu, right? The 'Hill Monster' was too busy with the monks and Chase to notice him...right? Jack swallowed before landing on the grassy head, falling over when it suddenly moved.

"I can do this. I can. I have balance." The young man gave himself a quick pep talk before getting back up. He ungracefully strumbled over to the Wu and fell to his knees in front of it. "Good enough, I guess."

"Jack, what are you doing up there!?" Kimiko shouted from below.

"I'm getting the Wu, duh." Jack scoffed.

"Don't touch it!" Jack ignored the female monk's warning and grabbed the Wu with his free hand. The young man let out a cry when something struck him across the face and sent him flying away from the Wu. He saw several of the vines Chase had caught before, looking as if they were waiting for him to go after the Wu again.

"Mini-bots, attack!" Jack yelled and threw the balls in his other hand towards the vines. The balls transformed and started fending off the vines, but some of them managed to slip past the machines and were heading for Jack. Jack cursed and pulled something out of his pocket. With a quick press of a button, it unfolded itself and Jack now held a decent sized knife. He swung blindly at the attacking vines and sliced apart a few of them. "Bring it, you vine-bitches!" Jack yelped when a vine wrapped around his hand and yanked back, forcing him to fall on his face. "I didn't mean it like that!" He was about to chop the vine off when anther one went around his wrist. Jack jerked his arm forward and bit the vine. The young man was spitting out the moss as the vine released his arm, but a separate vine was soon around his chest. "Get off of me, you freak!" Jack was going to shout more when a vine went across his mouth and gagged him. He let out several muffled screams as more vines wrapped around him. Jack heard a loud growl before the vine were viciously torn off of him. "Hi, Chasey." Jack greeted weakly.

"I told you to stay with Wuya!" Chase snapped, picking Jack up. "You need to learn how to listen."

"Guess you can say I'm the rebellious type." Jack chuckled as Chase leaped off of the monster. Jack grunted when Chase dropped him in front of Wuya. "Stay."

"Stay." Chase ordered before taking off again.

"I see who wears the pants in this relationship." Dojo chuckled.

"Shut up." Jack muttered and crossed his arms.

"Although, I feel as if Chase would wear the pants in any relationship he's a part of." Dojo added with a hum, rubbing his chin.

"Not to interrupt your ramblings or anything, but did anyone else hear that?" Wuya asked. Jack was going to question what the witch meant but heard the sound for himself. A meow.

"Is that a kitten?" Dojo saw a small cheetah emerge from the cornfield.

"Seriously!?" Jack ran over to the kit and scooped her up. "What are you doing here? How did you even find us?"

"Is this another one of those 'I don't want to know' things?" Dojo asked Wuya.

"Pretty much." Wuya shrugged.

"A lot has happened in the past few months, hasn't it?"

"You have no idea."

"Chase is not going to be happy when he discovered that you traveled all of this way, alone and by foot too." Jack continued talking to Zelda as he went back to Dojo and Wuya.

"How old is..." Dojo let his sentence trail.

"Zelda." Jack filled in.

"Zelda?"

"She's about a month old."

"She's a little big for a month old." Dojo commented, flinching back a little when Zelda hissed at him.

"She's a warrior. They were both turned into them at birth. I'm not sure if either of them have a human form and Chase doesn't want to risk it." Jack said.

"They?"

"Zelda has a brother, I'm shocked she's here without him." Jack poked Zelda's nose, pulling his finger back when she swiped at it.

"Is he a little bigger than her?" Dojo asked, looking past Jack.

"Yes."

"Panther?"

"Yes..."

"Pure black except for a white mark on his chest?"

"Yes. Why do you know this?"

"I think I found the brother." Dojo pointed to a running Raja. The kit was heading straight for the monster, who was now kneeling but had a hand over his head to prevent Chase and the monks from getting the Wu.

"Raja!" Jack shoved Zelda into Wuya's arms and sprinted for the panther. Wuya and Zelda stared at each other for a moment before the kit booped Wuya's nose with her paw, smiling with amusement.

"Don't make me like you." Wuya grumbled.

"Raja! Raja wait! Don't!" Jack called as he attempted to catch up to Raja. Jack tripped over a stone and was thankful for his clumsiness as a large arm swept at the air above him. Getting hit by that did not look like it would be fun at all.

"Jack, what are you doing?" Omi asked, having landed next to the fallen man.

"Raja's in danger." Jack tried to get up and ended up ducking when the arm went past him again.

"Who's Raja?" Omi asked, not even needing to move to avoid getting hit by the arm that had gone right above his head.

"That panther, he's only a month old! Get him! Please!" Jack begged, knowing he was stuck where he was for a while since the monster seemed to be stuck in this area for a while.

"I'll rescue the kitty-cat. Piece of pie!"

"Cake. I'm pretty sure Clay already corrected you on that one before." Jack sighed when Omi ran off, not hearing the correction. Omi quickly caught up to Raja but had to jump away from him when the monster's arm smashed into the ground between them. The monk was forced to leap up and land on the arm that was coming towards him, leaving Raja to reach the creature's foot. Jack shouted and scrambled to his feet, running as fast as he could. He saw Raja bite into the foot in front of him and heard the shout of annoyance from the beast. Jack

Jack shouted and scrambled to his feet, running as fast as he could. He saw Raja bite into the foot in front of him and heard the shout of annoyance from the beast. The monster glared at the kit and swung his arm towards Raja. Jack reached Raja and grabbed the panther with both hands, tossing the kit aside before the arm slammed into his chest. Jack felt something shatter before everything went dull and black.
