Meanwhile, back in the control room…

Kimiko groaned as she slowly came too.

"Kimiko…" said a voice above her, "Hey! She's coming to"

She looked up as she could see the blurred image of Raimundo and Clay looking down at her.

"Ugh…" groaned Kimiko as she slowly sat up, "My head is killing me…"

She tried to stand up, but her splitting headache forced her back down.

"Easy Kimiko" said Clay as he gently helped her to her feet, "Dojo said because we created Light energy, we're still full of energy, but it should wear off though"

"Oh, okay…" said Kimiko as she regained her footing, "Hold up, Dojo? He and the others are okay?"

"Well…" said Raimundo "Sort of…"

He sighed as he pointed over where Omi was standing over Jack, Dojo and Chucky. Jack was on his back because he fainted again, and both Dojo and Chucky were breathing heavily as they were lying on the floor.

"You mean we did it?" said Kimiko as she released her grip on Clay and walked on her own two feet.

"Why don't you see for yourself" said Raimundo as he pointed to the window. Kimiko stepped up to the window and looked out; Earth was still there, glowing a beautiful light blue colour. Hannibal's dark face had completely vanished along with his plans for world destruction.

"But how?" said Kimiko as he looked back at them, "The Shadow Ecliptis had entered Earth's atmosphere? Did it just…pop back into orbit?"

"Well…Yeah…" said Clay.

"When we came to, we found Jack" said Raimundo "He was so shaken, he fainted"

"Typical…" sighed Kimiko.

"But then Dojo said that after you destroyed Hannibal, Jack activated some sort of warp portal thing" said Clay "That teleported the whole place, including us back into orbit"

Kimiko sighed with relief as she looked out the window.

"Heh…" sighed Kimiko "We did it…Ryan, we did…Ryan?"

She turned around as she looked around the room, Raimundo and Clay were standing on one side of the room and Omi was standing on the other side with Dojo, Chucky and Jack, but no Ryan.

"Ryan?" said Kimiko "Where's Ryan?"

They all looked at her.

"Ryan?" said Raimundo.

"Yeah, where is he?" said Kimiko as she walked towards them. Raimundo, Omi and Clay shrugged their shoulders. She looked around the room again, Ryan still wasn't there. She opened the door to the room and looked down the corridor, nothing.

"Ryan?" whimpered Kimiko as she began to panic, "Where are you?"

"Weren't you with him when the portal opened up?" said Raimundo. Kimiko thought hard, but the large amounts of energy in her body made thinking hard.

"Ack! Damn it!" groaned Kimiko as she clutched her head, "It's like my memory of the last ten minuets has been replaced by barbed wire…"

Raimundo said nothing as he got to his feet; he walked to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"You okay girl?" said Raimundo "I'm sure that Ryan will turn up soon, he's probably just hiding like he always does…"

Kimiko smiled slightly as she looked up at him.

"Yeah…" sighed Kimiko "I'm sure he's…"

"No Ryan!" cried Kimiko "Don't! We can make it!"

Kimiko's eyes widened as she heard something spark in her memory. She groaned as she tried to remember what it was.

Ryan said nothing as he summoned a ball of energy to his hands, with a mighty swing he sent Kimiko flying into the vortex.

"Ryan…" said Kimiko.

"Kimiko?" said Clay as he saw her expression change, "Are you okay?"

"I don't know…" said Kimiko "My memory's coming back to me…"

She looked back in horror as she watched her boyfriend's Singala form diminishes, weakening his protection to the vacuum of space.

"Ryan" gasped Kimiko as she cupped her mouth, "No…"

"Kimiko?" said Omi as the three of them stood around her, "What's wrong?"

"NOOOOO!" screamed Kimiko "RYYYYAAAA…"

The vortex closed, cutting her off.

"NOOOOO!" screamed Kimiko, making everyone jump, "RYYYYAAAANNNN!"

Kimiko forced her way through the boys and ran to the window. Jack, Dojo and Chucky sprang up as they heard Kimiko scream.

"What? What?" gasped Dojo "What's going on?"

"Ryan!" cried Kimiko "He didn't make it!"

"But I thought he was with you?" said Omi.

"He ran out of power!" cried Kimiko as she pressed her face against the window, "He sacrificed his power so he could get me through the portal in time!"

"You mean he's still out there?" said Raimundo. Kimiko immediately ran from the window to Jack.

"Jack!" cried Kimiko as she grabbed his coat, "You got to do something! Send robots to find him! Do some scan of the area! Do something!"

"Okay! Okay!" said Jack "I could do a scan…But it would take…"

I don't care!" yelled Kimiko as she shook Jack vigorously by his collar, "Just do it!"

Jack wiggled out of her grasp and began pushing buttons on the control panel, the screen flickered as a video of the portal came up.

"Look!" said Kimiko as she pointed at the screen, "There's me and Ryan!"

They all watched Ryan move Kimiko in front of her, and with a mighty blast he thrust her into the portal just as it closed. Kimiko gasped and cupped her mouth as she watched Ryan fall back towards Earth. She whimpered as she saw the look on her face, telling her that he wanted to die for her.

"Ryan…" gasped Kimiko "Why?"

Suddenly the screen went fuzzy, Kimiko gasped as she banged on the control panel.

"What? What happened?" gasped Kimiko; she looked at Jack, "Jack! Where's my Ryan?"

"That's all the footage I was able to capture before we went through the portal" said Jack "But I have a thermo-scan…"

The screen came on again as Jack pushed a button. Kimiko could see Ryan again, falling towards Earth at top speed, she gasped as fire suddenly burst around him. Kimiko couldn't take any more; she pushed the off button on the screen and rested her head against Omi, bursting into tears.

"He did it for me…" cried Kimiko "He did it for me…"

Clay, Omi, Dojo and Chucky lowered their heads with sad looks on their faces, Raimundo sighed as he rested his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry…" said Raimundo. Kimiko cried loudly as she ran towards the door and ran out into the corridor, leaving the others in an awkward silence.

"Kimiko! Wait!" called Omi. He was about to run after her, but Raimundo stopped him by the collar.

"No Omi" said Raimundo "Let her be…"

They all stood there in more awkward silence.

"Clay" said Raimundo "Take Dojo and Chucky down to the Ark Angel and get it ready…"

"You got it" said Clay as he and the dragons left the room.

"Jack?" said Raimundo "Where is the Shen Gong Wu?"

"Deck R4" said Jack.

"Omi" said Raimundo "You know what to do…"

Omi nodded in silence as he turned and left the room.

"Jack" said Raimundo "Can you shut this place down?"

"What?" said Jack "But I…"

Raimundo glared at him as he raised his fist to his face, he gulped as he moved back a bit and pushed a button.

"Okay…" said Jack "This place will automaticly shut down when we leave…"

"Good…" said Raimundo "Now go join Clay in the Ark Angel…And no funny business!"

Jack gulped again as he left the room; Raimundo sighed as he followed behind him but went the opposite direction after Omi.

Meanwhile…

Wuya grumbled as she floated down corridors.

"Damn…" growled Wuya "I lost my Wu, I lost my body…Gah! I hate those Xiaolin Dragons!"

She floated around and froze; sitting down with her head in her hands, crying her eyes out was Kimiko.

"Ah…Kimiko…" whispered Wuya as she narrowed her eyes at her, "That little bitch! I'll kill…"

She stopped as she watched her; she looked out of the window and sniffed a few times. Wuya saw her lip tremble before she buried her head back in her hands again and wailed loudly.

"Why?" cried Kimiko "Why can't I be happy? Why can't I just have my Ryan?"

A smirk grew across Wuya's face as she watched Kimiko.

"Ryan…" cried Kimiko "I love you…But without you by my side…It's like I have no…soul left…"

Wuya grinned as she floated towards her.

"Ahh…" thought Wuya "It seems that she is too sad to even have control of her own mind…Maybe I can use it instead…"

Her grin got bigger as she floated towards her ear.

"Could my life get any worse?" cried Kimiko.

"Yes…" though Wuya.

"Kimiko!" yelled Raimundo as he burst and Omi burst in, "Look out behind you!"

Kimiko looked up and saw Wuya floating in the air above her.

"What the…" gasped Kimiko.

"Sword of the Storm!" yelled Raimundo as he swung the sword hard, a strong blast of wind blew forth from him and blew Wuya away from Kimiko.

"NO!" screeched Wuya as she passed through the window and floated off towards Earth, "I will have my revenge!"

Raimundo sighed with relief as he walked towards Kimiko.

"Phew…" sighed Raimundo "That was a close one, huh? Omi got all our Wu back"

His face drooped as Kimiko didn't even smile, she still cried into her hands.

"Come on Kimiko…" said Raimundo "We're ready to go…Do you want to stay here a bit longer?"

Kimiko sniffed as she got to her feet and walked ahead of them.

"Kimiko?" said Omi as he held all the Wu above his head with the Mikado Arm.

"Let's go…" said Kimiko in a quiet voice as she walked off towards where the Ark Angel was.

Later…

The Ark Angel flew out of the Shadow Ecliptis and flew towards Earth. Kimiko watched from the Ark Angel cockpit window up at the Shadow Ecliptis as it began to shut down, one by one, large segments of lights began to switch off, until the entire space station was completely dark. She sighed sadly as she curled up into her chair and tucked her knees under her chin. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she watched it get smaller and smaller.

"Goodbye Ryan…" cried Kimiko to herself, "I love you…and I always will…"

Aww...Poor Kimiko...R&R! See you tomorrow!
