23: Two's a Bad Complement

At Chase's Lair…

Chase took a deep breath as he meditated on the cliff top of his mountain lair. A cold wind blew over the harsh dry land, it would chill an ordinary person to the bone, but Chase was unaffected by its coldness. He opened his eyes as he heard the sound of helicopter blades, he groaned as his peaceful meditation was disturbed by Jack Spicer.

"Hello Chase!" called Jack in a cheery voice.

"Jack…" said Chase in a cold voice, "You always pick the most inopportune times to plan your visits…What is so important that you had to come disturb me?"

Jack grinned at him as he landed on the cliff top and deactivated his Heli-bot.

"I have a very interesting deal for you…" said Jack.

"Yes, so I've heard from your email…" said Chase as he got up and walked towards his lair.

"I guarantee this plan to be more foolproof as all of our plans put together!" said Jack as he walked beside him.

"You say that about every plan…" sighed Chase as he walked into the main room where Wuya was waiting for him.

"What's he doing here?" groaned Wuya as she saw Jack come into the room. Jack grinned as he walked towards the table in the middle of the room and pulled out a bundle of papers. Chase sighed as he sat down and began looking through the papers.

"Jack, do you ever stop annoying us?" said Wuya as she stood next to Jack and looked down at him. Jack frowned at her as she glared back.

"Get bent, Clown face…" sneered Jack as he walked past her and lent on the table, "So then Chase, what do you think?"

Chase looked at the last piece of paper and then looked up at Jack with a disgruntled stare.

"Jack…" said Chase as he got up from the table and walked towards him, "This is your plan?"

"Yep" said Jack "What do you think?"

Chase glared at him as he held Jack's plans in his fist.

"Jack…" said Chase "This is the best plan you have ever come up with…"

"Yeah Jack!" said Wuya "Now go back to your home and…WHAT?"

Later…

"Jack, this plan is perfect" said Chase after letting Wuya look through Jack's plans, "I'm currently planning something big too, and this will help me greatly!"

"Really?" said Jack as he looked up at him with starry eyes. Chase nodded as he turned towards his chair and sat down.

"As much as I hate your guts" said Chase "This will help me in my plans, I'm considering having you on as my…I can't believe I'm going to say this…partner…"

Jack squealed with joy as he danced around the room, Wuya groaned as she head butted the table.

"No…" groaned Wuya "This isn't happening…"

"If you don't like it…" said Jack as he skipped around her, "Stuff it!"

Chase chuckled as he watched Jack skip around the room some more.

"I don't think you heard me…" said Chase "I said I'm considering, there are some problems that I can see…"

Jack skidded to a halt and looked at him.

"Problems?" said Jack "What problems?"

Chase began looking through Jack's plans until he found the page he was looking for.

"Yes…" said Chase "The blueprints for your Shadow Ecliptis…How the hell are you going to make it? It will take millions of people millions of days to build it, plus you need millions and millions of dollars to fund it"

"Not with this…" said Jack as he grinned and reached into his bag, he pulled out the Treasure of the Blind Swordsman, "All I have to do is wish for it!"

"Okay…" said Chase as he looked at Jack's plans, "Next problem, this so called Eclipse Reactor, according to your notes, it is one of the forbidden objects"

"That's correct" said Jack "It is protected by powerful magic, making it impossible to wish for it"

"So how are we going to get it?" said Chase "The Lost Halls where it is hidden is an impregnable fortress on the outside and an endless maze on the inside…"

"That's why I came to you instead of Hannibal Roy Bean" said Jack "You seem more capable of getting passed all the traps and monsters than the great Hannibal Roy Bean"

"The great Hannibal Roy Bean?" said Chase as he raised his eyebrow at him.

"Err…I mean that dirty rascal!" stuttered Jack, he gave Chase a fake grin as he looked at him.

"Moving on…" said Chase as he rolled his eyes, "How do we get there? We don't have either of the Ying or Yang Yo-yos"

"Yes, but we don't need them" said Jack "We have this instead…"

He reached into his bag and pulled out a black box with a red button.

"Ladies, Gentlemen…and Wuya" said Jack, Wuya hissed at him as she turned her back to him, "I give you Jack Spicer's Ying-Yang Dimension Distorter!"

Jack giggled with excitement as he pushed the button; there was a flash of light as a large Ying-Yang symbol appeared on the wall. It begun to spin around until it became a swirling portal to the Ying-Yang world.

"Jack Spicer, you have out done yourself again" said Chase as he got to his feet, "You have done what Grand Master Dashi did 1500 years ago and what Hannibal can do with his Ying Yang bird"

"Err…Yeah" said Jack as he avoided eye contact, "It's all my own…Err…work…"

"Okay" said Chase as he looked into the black and white world of the Ying-Yang world, "One last thing, what if the Xiaolin Dragons find out, I know for a fact that Dojo and Colza can detect inter-dimensional activity"

"Don't worry" said Jack as a dark grin spread across his face, "They won't even be able to keep up with us, because I have a plan…"

"Hmm…" thought Chase "I'm going give you the benefit of the doubt on this one, this plan could be the one that can help us conquer the world…"

Jack grinned as he gathered his plans, his Dimension Distorter and the Treasure of the Blind Swordsman and walked towards the portal.

"Come on then" said Jack in a cheery voice, "Let's get going!"

He leapt through the portal; Chase narrowed his eyes as he looked into the black and white portal.

"This is stupid" said Wuya "Since when has Jack made a plan that even has a small chance of succeeding?"

"I was thinking the exact same thing…" said Chase as he narrowed his eyes at the portal.

"Huh?" said Wuya as she looked at her, "You're having second thoughts on him?"

"How else could Jack Spicer get such a good plan and build a cross dimensional portal machine?" said Chase "Also, I thought Hannibal had the Treasure Chest…I think there is more to this meets the eye…"

They both stared at the portal; they could hear the strange sounds of the Ying-Yang world.

"We'll keep an eye on him" said Chase "Just to make sure…"

Back at the Temple…

"WHOA!" gasped Dojo and Colza at the same time, they both vibrated as if there was an earthquake.

"Dojo? Colza?" said Kimiko "Are you two okay?"

"I don't know…" said Dojo as they both stopped shaking, "Something apart from the Ying Yang Yo-yos has opened a portal to the Ying-Yang world"

"That must be Jack" said Kimiko "He and Chase must of made their move, we have to go after him to see what they're up too"

"Silver Manta Ray!" said Omi as he threw the Silver Manta Ray into the air; it flashed as it grew in size. They all jumped into the cockpit as it slowly hovered into the air.

"Good luck, young monks!" called Master Fung "Remember, everything isn't what it seems in the Ying-Yang world!"

The Silver Manta Ray flew through the air. Someone yelled "Ying-Yang Yo-yo!", and the Silver Manta Ray vanished into a black and white vortex.

(Recorded Message) So Jack's plans are to build a space station…But what are Chase's? And how do his and Jack's plans connect? What will they find in the darkness of the Ying-Yang world? Will UXD stop asking questions and end today's chapter?...Yes…He will…Please leave a review after the tone! BEEP!
