69: Ryan's Heritage: Part II

Ryan immediately opened his eyes as he stood up.

"You…murdered me?" gasped Ryan as he stared in disbelief. Chase nodded as he lowered his head.

"Seventeen years later…" said Chase. They all looked up as they hear the clash of swords, the scene dissolved into a cliff top where teenage Ryan was fighting with Chase. Ryan swung the Sword of the Tempest at Chase, but he skilfully dodged and blocked the sword with his.

"But this is…" said Ryan.

"Shh…" said Chase "Don't speak, just watch…"

The Ryan who was fighting Chase roared as he lunged forward as he swung the blade at him again. Chase laughed as he shoved Ryan to the ground.

"You know you will never win against me" said Chase. Ryan roared as he began swinging his sword on his back, Chase took a step back as Ryan missed.

"You do know you can join me…" said Chase as he grinned down at him.

"NEVER!" roared Ryan as he swung his sword again. Chase leapt back, giving Ryan a chance to get to his feet. He lunged again, but Chase spun around him and struck his back with his sword hard. Ryan cried out as he fell to the ground, blood began oozing from his back through his ripped clothes.

"Give up boy…" said Chase as Ryan slowly got to my feet.

"Never…I will never give up" gasped Ryan as he turned towards him, "Grand Master Dashi said that my father never wanted me to give up, no matter what!"

Chase laughed as Ryan began building up a ball of thunder in his hands.

"You're the reason why I don't have any parents!" roared Ryan "I will have my revenge! Wudai Supernova Thunder!"

Balls of electricity flew from Ryan's hands and shot towards Chase, he sighed as he raised his hands. The balls hit him by didn't even scratch him.

"Pathetic…" sighed Chase "Not only did you inherit your mother's element, you inherited her worthlessness!"

"MY MOTHER WASN'T WORTHLESS!" roared Ryan as he shot at Chase, "MY MOTHER WAS TWICE THE PERSON YOU WERE EVER!"

Chase said nothing as he raised his sword, as Ryan went past he brought it down hard. Kimiko gasped and covered her mouth as they all watched Chase slice off Ryan's hand.

"You sliced off his hand?" gasped Clay as he looked at Chase's ghost.

"ARRRR!" screamed Ryan "MY HAND!"

There was a clattering noise as his sword hit the ground with his hand still attached to it. Chase grinned as he walked towards Ryan, who gasped as shuffled backwards along the ground towards the cliff edge, holding his bloody arm.

"It's not too late to join me?" said Chase "I can heal you…"

"I'LL NEVER JOIN YOU!" roared Ryan as he backed even closer to the cliff edge, "YOU KILLED MY FATHER!"

Chase's grinned became even bigger as he loomed over Ryan.

"Oh no…" groaned the other Ryan he rested his head on his hand, "Not again…"

"No…" said Chase "I am your father!"

Ryan gasped as he looked up at Chase.

"No…" whimpered Ryan "No…You can't be! That's impossible!"

"Search your feelings" said Chase "You know it's true!"

"NOOOO!" cried Ryan as he clutched his head with his one hand.

"I don't know what's worse…" sighed Clay as he looked at the Ryan who was next to him and Chase's ghost, "Chase being Ryan's father or the awful cliché…"

"Ryan, you now know the truth…" said Chase "Now join my side, and together we will rule this world!"

"Never!" growled Ryan.

"It is your destiny…" said Chase as he held out his hand. Ryan said nothing as he turned his head.

"Fine…" said Chase as he raised his sword.

"No!" cried Kimiko as she dived at Ryan, she forgot that they were just ghosts as she flew right through Ryan's body. Chase brought the sword down at Ryan, piercing his body. He yelled in pain as he fell back and tumbled over the edge of the cliff. Ryan looked down the edge of the cliff as he watched himself fall. Before he hit the ground, the scenery dissolved again into nothing.

"Ryan" said Kimiko "You okay?"

He sighed as he looked up at her, Chase was floating behind her.

"How do you think I feel?" said Ryan "In one hour I have seen myself born and killed…"

"Ryan…" said Chase "There is nothing I can say to make you forgive me for the terrible things I have done…"

Ryan sighed as he got to his feet.

"Err…Chase?" said Omi as he tried to tug at his robes, but his hands went through Chase's body, "I don't understand…If you killed Ryan, why is he still alive?"

Chase sighed as he looked back at his son as Kimiko rubbed his back and rested her head against his, he could see he was depressed.

"One thousand five hundred years later…" said Chase. Suddenly the scenery changed into a room that only Ryan recognised, it was the stasis tank room that Ryan saw when he first discovered that Chase was his dad. He could see Chase standing in the middle of the room, grinning as he looked at the four stasis tanks around.

"Project Apocalypses Clone" said Chase "I cloned myself four clones and altered them to see what would be the best design to destroy you Xiaolin Dragons"

There was a hissing noise as one of the tanks opened.

"But changing the abilities of the clones also changed their appearance, as a result they all had brown hair instead of my black" said Chase's ghost "That is where you came in…"

Ryan stepped out of the tank, dripping with the green fluid of the tank.

"Whether it was coincidence or fate…" said Chase's ghost "One of the clones came out exactly like the original Ryan"

The scene changed again to see Ryan training against Chase.

"I don't know whether it was my subconscious love for my son that was hidden beneath my soulless evil or not" said Chase's ghost "But I favoured you above the other clones, probably because you bared resemblance to the original Ryan, so I rigged the tests so you would come out on top and become the main design for my clone army"

The scene changed again, this time Ryan was standing on top of the cliff, over looking the temple. Chase was behind him with the Sword of the Tempest in one hand and the Wushun Geyser in the other.

"After you finished your training" said Chase's ghost "I decided it was time to test you against the dragons, which is when I erased your memory and sent you to the temple…"

"So Ryan isn't the original" said Omi "He's a coincidental copy of the original from the past"

"Yes" said Chase. Ryan sighed heavily as he looked up at him. The scenery dissolved again, but this time it went back to the Shadow Ecliptis's core.

"So…" said Ryan "I'm not the Ryan from the past…I'm a different Ryan…"

Chase smiled as he floated down to him.

"Ryan…" said Chase as he rested a hand on his shoulder, "You were everything that I remembered about you; you were reincarnated exactly as you were because you didn't finish your destiny…"

"My destiny…" sighed Ryan "To join you in evil?"

"No…" said Chase "To live the life I never had…I want you to promise me that you will never give into evil like I did, and love Kimiko more than I ever loved Naomi…Kimiko is the reason why your still alive, when Guardian Angel died, you lost your life force…But someone else's kept you alive…"

"Kimiko's" said Ryan "So I'm sharing her soul?"

"Yes" Chase smiled as he nodded, "Together, your hearts beat as one"

Ryan looked at his father as tears formed in his eyes; he looked at Kimiko as she smiled at him and took his hands in hers.

"Yes…" said Ryan "I will…I will always love her…"

Chase smiled as he patted Ryan on the head. Suddenly a bright light shone behind him.

"Well…" sighed Chase "Time for me to go…"

Ryan lowered his head as he looked sadly at the ground, this was the first time he really bonded with his father, and he didn't want it to end.

"Don't worry…" said Chase "You'll be fine, you have your father's strength and skill and your mother's passion"

"What about you?" said Ryan.

"As long as Low Mang Lone soup never touches the lips of my body" said Chase "I will never come back from the dead as an evil tyrant ever again"

Chase turned around and floated off into the light, but before he disappeared, he turned back.

"Ryan…I'm never any good at saying this but…" sighed Chase "You are my son…And I…"

"That's okay" said Ryan as he smiled at him, "I feel the same way…"

Chase smiled as the turned into the light, there was a bright flash, and he disappeared.

Ryan sniffed as a few tears fell from his eyes. Kimiko hugged him as she rubbed his back.

"It's okay…" whispered Kimiko "It's all over now…"

Ryan tried to put on a brave face as he looked at her; she smiled as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Ryan? Buddy?" said Clay as they all stood around him, "You feeling okay?"

"Yeah…" sighed Ryan "I'll be fine…I'm just shocked…"

"I know just what we all need" said Raimundo as he put his arm around him, "A nice long holiday…Right?"

Ryan grinned as he looked up at his friends.

"Yeah, you're right" said Ryan in a more upbeat voice, "Oh; there's one more thing…Guys?"

"Yep?" said Raimundo.

"What is it my good friend?" said Omi.

"What's up partner?" said Clay.

"What is it?" said Kimiko as she held his hand.

"My friends…" said Ryan as he turned to them, "Your help has been invaluable to me…Thank you…"

"That is not a problem" said Omi "We were only doing our job…There's nothing we want from you in return, apart from your eternal friendship…coughSingalapromotioncough"

Ryan laughed as he patted Omi on the head.

"I'll see what I can do, I'll talk with Master Fung…" said Ryan "Now let's go home, the pizza's on me!"

They all agreed, except Omi who took a moment to realise what Ryan meant by the pizza being on him. They were about to move when suddenly Raimundo's walky-talky began to buzz.

"Err…Guys?" said Jack's voice "We have a problem…"

"BWA HA HA HA!" laughed an evil voice that echoed through out the room, "I SAID I WOULD BE BACK! MUHA HA HA HA!"

Everyone gasped as they looked around them. Suddenly the whole space station shook.

"No! It can't be!" gasped Ryan as he held onto Kimiko, "Hannibal!"

Uh oh…Hannibal back! R&R and tune in tomorrow to find out what happens next! (This story is never ending with the continuous waves of action and excitement!) Also, Chase is way too big of a character to kill off, so I made sure to put in something that could make him come back…But will he?

This is Ryan's past in a nutshell if your brain refuses to understand it. Chase and Naomi had Ryan, Chase became evil and Naomi killed herself because of it, leaving Ryan almost an orphan. He was then told that Chase killed his father (coughStarWarscough!) but really he was his father. So Chase killed his own son. 1500 years later, he cloned himself and altered his clones, by pure coincidence, one of them looked like Ryan, and he sub-consciously called him Ryan. Another coincidence is that when Ryan returned to the dark side, Kimiko tried to kill herself…History is repeating itself…R&R!
