Well, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I guess one of my resolutions would be to finish the trilogy up for sure. It'll be sad to see it be done though. Anyways, I really do miss getting reviews and reading other ppl's stories too.

Chapter 2: Dying Hope

3 years later…

Kim's P.O.V

It's the third anniversary of the horrific day. The day of the Beginning of the End. The start of the Millennium War. The war of the millennium that will decide whether good or evil will prevail. It was the day my fiancé, Raimundo Pedrosa, died.

"C'mon Kimiko. We gotta go. Another squad of rock soldiers has come in from the North side. We gotta split faster than a piece of plywood at a lumberjack convention." Clay said to me as I put fresh flowers near Raimundo's memorial site. "I know. I'll be right there." I said softly. Omi ran up and Clay ran right next to him. Together, they put on their Wudai outfits and left.

Clay's P.O.V

It's been three years since the death of my partner, Raimundo. He was a prankster, friend, and leader in the end. We've been through a lot, us four. Sadly, he died while fighting for the Xiaolin side.

"She's changed…" "What?" I said after a soft whisper from a slightly taller Omi, if not the same height. "Kimiko has changed." he repeated. "Well, that's what happens when you lose something precious to you." I said solemnly. "Like Master Fung?" he said it as if were a statement and not a question, but, nevertheless, a question. "Yeah…"

Omi's P.O.V

Three frightful years have passed since that fateful day. The day I failed to protect a friend and my master. Pondering back, I feel as though it was my fault that Chase Young has taken Master Fung, Dojo, and Master Monk Guan.

"Yeah…" was all my friend Clay could say to comfort me in any way, even though he knows it is my fault. "If I hadn't challenged Chase to that stupid showdown!" I yelled. "Omi…" I heard a faint voice behind me. "It's ok. It's not your fault, it was out of your grasp." Kimiko said to me. "Yeah, enough beating yourself up over it. What's past is past. Let's focus on today." Clay exclaimed trying to raise everyone's moods up even though that was an unachievable task. We reached the enemy in no time but we had a surprise…

???'s P.O.V

"So, they're still alive and well?" I asked. The young man beside me chuckled. "Well, they aren't Xiaolin Dragons for nothing right?" the young man said. "You're right." I said, " When do we make our big debut?" The young girl beside the young man exclaimed, "Let's make it flashy!" "Cool." the young man said. They high-fived as I looked at the promising group of monks who fought their way into survival. The young man put his hand on my shoulder. "You shouldn't take this so seriously but you need to lighten up." He smiled and gave me a thumbs up. "Thanks-"

Omi's P.O.V

"HA!" I yelled as my foot crashed through the rock warrior's body. "Delightful…" I heard from the other side of the dust that our group kicked up. "Your fighting strength is exquisite for ones as pathetic as yourselves." Jason mocked. "You mock us but fight behind these pieces of rubble." Clay yelled. Jason snickered. "Tisk. Tisk. You shouldn't underestimate me because Chase has been training me really well up until now. "Prove it." I yelled as I lunged.

A sweep kick to see if he could dodge. Surprisingly, he dodged it. Then a flip kick. Again, he dodged in mid-air! Hmmm… "Charging Bear!" I yelled which surprised him and knocked him flat on his back as he landed. "Ow! Darn. Fine, Jack-bots help me out here." These Jack Bots were super upgraded. We've experienced them before when Jack claimed he finished college and built these robots for a living. They were robots for the military. We were cornered. "Aww man, we're toast!" Clay exclaimed. Our group was closed in by a ring of Jack bots and Jason. Jason signaled them for the their proton canons to charge. "There's no way we can avoid them now, Omi." Kimiko said calmly. The truth was there wasn't a way out. "Forgive me, Kimikio, Clay and Master Fung." was all I could say as my final words.

Kimiko's P.O.V

I knew it was over. Yet, I wasn't as sad because I get to see Rai in heaven. But, in my heart my resolution for dying wavered because Clay and Omi were still alive. They still had lives to fulfill.

"Charge"

Bye, Keiko, Master Fung, and Daddy.

"Aim"

Bye, Clay and Omi.

"Fire!"

Bye, everyone.

There was a bright light and a flash. I shut my eyes closed. I felt something against my body. It was warm. I opened my eyes and looked up. A cloaked man had saved me and the guys. He had me in one arm and a sword in the other.

"Thank yo-" I stammered. "That sword." Omi said. I looked at it. It was…

"Sword of the Storm!" he yelled. "Wha!?" I screeched as a huge wind torrent came and knocked everything around us skyward.

"Time for the Finale!" a young man called out from above. "Me first." Yelled a young lady, "Thorn of Thunderbolt!" She short-circuited the Jack bots which resulted in them exploding. "As for you," the young man said to Jason, "tell Chase I said hi. Fist of Tebegong!" He knocked him towards the distant realm of Chase Young.

"Who are y-" I was cut off from something blocking my lips. A kiss! When he broke off, I slapped him which resulted in removing his hood and I gasped in horror.

It was…
