Ryan looked up as he heard the muffled cry of Kimiko from above him; he smiled as he held out the Shen Gong Two. It morphed into a knife. He summoned another blast of wind chi and flew into the air at Kimiko. He flew past her, cutting the rope that held her and let her fall. Ryan swooped down and landed on the ground, just in time to catch Kimiko in his arms. Ryan grinned at her as she recovered from the shock of falling from the roof.

"Who bailed who's butt out now?" said Ryan. Kimiko smiled as she rolled her eyes at him. Panda Bubba groaned again as Ryan let Kimiko gently down to the ground.

"Game over Panda Bubba" said Ryan as he stood over his body, "My advice is to stop coming after me"

Panda Bubba said nothing as he weakly got to his feet and limped off towards a door.

"You did it" said Kimiko as she hugged him, "You beat Panda Bubba again and…Are you okay?"

Ryan ran a hand across his mouth, blood covered his hand.

"Oh, I'm fine" said Ryan as he wiped his hand on his shirt which was already stained a sickly crimson red, "You know what I'm like, tough as dragon scales"

Kimiko smiled as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Well thanks for saving me" said Kimiko.

"That's my job" said Ryan "I am your dragon you know, it's my duty to protect and serve my Dragon Tamer"

Kimiko smiled as she hugged him tighter, she was going to kiss him again, but she didn't want to get blood on her clothes.

"Kimiko!" yelled Jermaine as he leaped between her and Ryan, pushing Kimiko back, "Get away from him!"

Kimiko and Ryan both looked at him as he glared angrily at Ryan.

"What's you problem?" said Ryan as Jermaine moved towards him. He lunged at him and tried to punch him.

"I know what you're up to!" growled Jermaine as he lunged at him again, "You're working with Chase!"

"Jermaine!" cried Kmiko as she got to her feet, "What are you talking about?"

"You can use Repulse the Monkey!" growled Jermaine as he rolled around Ryan and held him in a headlock, "Anyone can learn it, but only one person can teach it!"

Ryan chocked for air as Jermaine tightened his grip around his neck.

"What's the plan, huh?" said Jermaine "Worm your way into Kimiko's heart so you can rip her and her friends apart, you traitor?"

"Jermaine!" cried Kimiko as she tried to pull him off Ryan, "Stop it! You don't understand!"

"He's a liar, Kimiko!" said Jermaine "You heard him yourself, his name is Ryan Young!"

Ryan roared as he flipped Jermaine over him and threw him to the floor. He activated the Shen Gong Two to create a pointed spear at which he held the sharp point above his head.

"Yes Jermaine" said Ryan "I am Ryan Young, son of the infamous Chase Young"

"Kimiko" gasped Jermaine "You know about this?"

"Of course" said Kimiko as she pushed Ryan away from Jermaine and helped to his feet, "He is an Ex-Heylin warrior, genetically cloned from Chase, originally used to destroy us, now used against Chase"

Jermaine gave Ryan a blank stare as he moved cautiously way from him.

"You could say I am a traitor" said Ryan "But only to my father"

"But Kimiko…" said Jermaine. Ryan smiled as he looked at her.

"I would never dream of betraying her" said Ryan as he took her hand in his. They all stood there in an uncomfortable silence. Suddenly a siren began to wail, and the three of them put their hands on their ears as the noise pierced their eardrums.

"What the hell?" yelled Kimiko as she pulled out her PDA; she opened up the lair's security plan.

"Someone had triggered the security alarm in the treasure room!" yelled Kimiko over the alarm. Ryan groaned as he looked at the CCTV image of the room, there was Jack Spicer with a hand in the glass cabinet, pulling out the metal ball he had his eyes on.

"You ass-head!" yelled Ryan "I told you not to touch anything!"

There was the sound of metal as metal panels began to crawl up the window dome above them.

"Crap!" gasped Jermaine "We're being sealed in!"

Ryan looked up above them; the metal panels were slowly heading towards the centre of the dome where they would be trapped.

"Kimiko! Jermaine!" yelled Ryan "We're getting out of here!"

He held up the Shen Gong Two above his head.

"Shen Gong Two!" yelled Ryan "Longi Kite!"

The Shen Gong Two melted around his hand and flowed down his arm where it went to his back and morphed into a black and white Longi Kite.

"Let's go!" yelled Ryan. Kimiko and Jermaine grabbed his arm as Ryan took off into the air. They braced themselves as Ryan shot through the glass, just as the metal panels closed behind them.

"Guys!" called Dojo as Ryan flew up above Panda Bubba's lair with Kimiko and Jermaine in his arms, "Are you okay?"

Ryan swooped towards Dojo who had Clay, Raimundo and Omi on his back, so Ryan then flew towards Colza who had empty seats on her back.

"How did it go?" said Colza. Ryan sighed as Kimiko rested her head on him.

"Long story…" sighed Ryan "I'll tell you on the way home, I need to get a change of clothes… I've got blood stains all over my favourite shirt"

Meanwhile…

Jack Spicer grinned as he held the metal ball in his hand.

"The legendary Chromium Orb…" said Jack "The world's largest supply of Metal Elementa…"

There was a crunch as metal panels came down around him boxing him in.

"Pathetic human defences…" sighed Jack "No match for the awesome power of Metal Elementa…"

He put the Chromium Orb in his pocket and held his arm to a metal panel.

"Wudai Meteor Metal!" yelled Jack. The metal panel crumpled up into a ball, and with a loud crunch he pushed the ball through the wall, creating a pathway out of the building. Jack grinned as he walked through the wreckage of Panda Bubba's lair. He looked up at the moon, its blue light shone down on him as he pulled out a phone.

"Logan" said Jack "The Metal Elementa has been collected…"

"Excellent master" said Logan's voice on the other end, "I've also managed to find the Ice and Psyche Elementa"

"Good work" said Jack "All we need now is the other five Elementas and we're good to go"

"Where are we going to find them?" said Logan. Jack grinned as he walked out the front gate and headed down the road.

"Where else?" said Jack "The last remaining source of the last remaining Elementa is in the Dragon's Elemental Wu"

"So we know where to find them" said Logan.

"Yes…" said Jack "I'm heading back home now"

He put the phone back in his pocket as a bird with black feathers with red tips landed on his arm.

"Hello Ying-Ying" said Jack "Take me home…"

The bird flew into the air and landed in front of him, Jack grinned as he walked towards it.

"I must thank Ryan for helping me" said Jack "Maybe next time…Moby Morpher!"

Back at the Temple…

Dojo and Colza landed in the temple and everyone climbed off.

"I don't know about you…" yawned Ryan "But I'm exhausted…I'm off to bed"

"Me too" sighed Kimiko as she supported his weak and bruised body. Jermaine rolled his eyes as he walked off.

"Jermaine!" called Omi as he went after him "Wait down!"

"Up Omi!" called Raimundo. Ryan and Kimiko sighed as she helped him limp towards the dormitory.

"What a day…" sighed Ryan "Two Wu…Two beatings…"

Kimiko sighed again as she watched Ryan remove his shirt, blood stains were all over his chest, along with numerous cuts, bruises and burn marks.

"Ouch…" said Kimiko "Looks nasty…"

Ryan said nothing as he held his breath. Slowly, each cut, bruise and burn began to heal itself. Ryan took a deep breath as the last wound healed itself.

"My Heylin Recovery Ability" sighed Ryan as he turned towards Kimiko "Good as new"

Kimiko smiled as she moved towards him, putting her arms around him. Ryan could tell by the smile on her face and the look in her sapphire blue eyes that she was happy that he was alright.

"Ryan?" asked Kimiko as she looked innocently at him, "You know that you've healed yourself…"

"Yes?" said Ryan. Kimiko smiled as she ran a hand over his chest and over left his shoulder. Even though he had healed himself, there was still a long scar on his arm where he got cut by a splintered piece of wood, right after their first kiss.

"Well, now that you're better…and it is quite late…" said Kimiko as she fidgeted slightly, "Shall we…call it a night? I wouldn't mind turning in early"

Ryan smiled as he put his arms around her.

"Yeah" said Ryan as he nodded at her "Good idea…"

She walked out of his room and went into her room to get changed into her pyjamas, Ryan did the same thing. Minutes later, Ryan had made himself comfortable on his bed as Kimiko walked into his room. She smiled as she knelt down and crawled over him as he lay in his bed.

"Thank you for saving me today again" said Kimiko as she stroked his hair, before Ryan could say anything, Kimiko stopped him.

"Ah! But I'm not going to reward you like I did in Tokyo after we were almost assassinated" said Kimiko "I will tell you when I'm ready to … "do it" with you again…"

Ryan smiled as he put his arms around her, pulling her close. Kimiko said nothing as she gently let her body fall beside him, before wrapping her arms around him.

"Be gentle" whispered Ryan "I'm still a little sore"

"Then let Dr. Tohomiko look at you" whispered Kimiko as she moved her hands across his chest, "I'll make you feel all better…"

Kimiko ginned as he stroked her neck and back as she gently began to massage his chest. She moved her hands around his head and she lent forward so her lips touched his. They kissed each other goodnight, before slowly drifting off to sleep.

Ryan: So Elementa gives you the power to use your elements, that's why Omi was able to use all four Wudai moves because he had the four Elementa in the Wu

UXD: Yep! There are ten Elementa, the last two (Light and Darkness) are unstable and can't last long, that's why it has to be made by using the others

Colza: What's this got to do with anything?

UXD: Uhh…Good point…

Ryan: Wu? Elemental Wu? Hey! Where's mine! I want mine!

Chole: Why don't you have me instead? I'm much more fun…(Bats eyelids)

Ryan: Nice try…

Chole: Come on Ry-Ry! You want me so bad!

Shel-Shel: Why don't you try pudding and whipped cream?

Ryan: UXD? Can you end this?

UXD: Okay…R&R! (Happy Birthday Hannah!)
