Back in the present (Year 2006)…
Kimiko sighed happily in her sleep as the sun began to peek through her window. She yawned as she rolled over and looked out the window, her eyes squinting as the rays of the sun shone on her face. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes as she looked around her room, a small smile grew across her face as she saw Ryan sleeping beside her. She ran a hand through his messy brown hair and reached for her clothes. She was about to pick them up when she realised something, right next to her clothes where her pyjamas. She suddenly looked at herself; she didn't wear anything to bed last night. Her eyes widened as she felt a slight draft, she quickly got back into bed and pulled the covers over herself.
"Why…" said Kimiko "Why am I…"
Ryan twitched as he rolled over, Kimiko gasped slightly as she looked at him; she raised the bed sheets, peeked under it and gasped again.
"Oh no…" said Kimiko as she began to panic, "We did it again…Ryan!"
She put her hands on his shoulder and began shaking him vigorously, calling his name.
"Uhh…" groaned Ryan as he began to wake up, "Kimiko?"
He yawned as he sat up and stretched; he looked over at her and smiled warmly.
"Hey sexy…" said Ryan as he lent forward and kissed her.
"Ryan" said Kimiko in a sort of breathless voice, "Did we do it last night?"
Ryan looks at her for a moment before a smiled appeared on his face.
"Yeah…" said Ryan "We did…"
"Oh no!" cried Kimiko as she cupped her mouth.
"What?" said Ryan as he suddenly knew something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
Kimiko looked up at him, with eyes looking like she was going to cry.
"Oh Ryan…" cried Kimiko "I could be pregnant again!"
Ryan looked at her for a moment before smiling at her, pulling her into a hug.
"No you're not…" said Ryan as he stoked her head, "Remember? We used…precautions this time…"
He smiled as he reached to her bedside table and showed her a small ripped opened packet, Kimiko sighed with relief as she rested her head against him.
"Phew…" sighed Kimiko "For a moment there…I thought we were going to be parents…"
Ryan smiled as he nuzzled her head.
"Well, remember we agreed to never do it again till we could handle the subject like adults…" said Ryan "Well we did, we didn't just throw ourselves at each other like wild animals…"
Kimiko giggled as she ran a hand over his leg.
"That's not how I remembered it…" said Kimiko as a mischievous smirk appeared on her face. Ryan laughed as she looked up him; they slowly began to lean forward moving their lips out to kiss each other. She suddenly felt her chest press against his, and she blushed as she pulled away from him.
"Umm…" mumbled Kimiko "Maybe we should get dressed…"
Ryan smiled at her as she climbed out of bed and began to get dressed. She blushed more as she looked back and saw he was watching her.
"Come on Ryan" said Kimiko as she passed him his clothes, "We got stuff to do!"
"Why bother?" said Ryan as he began to put his clothes on, " Hannibal is gone, my dad's no longer alive, Wuya's a harmless ghost and Jack is never a threat…"
He smiled as he tied his new sash to his waist and tightened it.
"Kimiko…" said Ryan "We made it…I think I can say that our future will be okay from now on…"
Kimiko smiled as she put her arms around him.
"Do you really mean that?" said Kimiko. Ryan smiled as he kissed her on the forehead.
"Kimiko…" said Ryan "I love you"
Kimiko smiled as she lent towards him.
"I love you too…" said Kimiko as their lips touched briefly but lovingly, "Ryan Young…"
They both smiled as the walked out of her room hand in hand into the morning sunshine, knowing that their lives will be different from now on. Kimiko pulled out her iPod and handed Ryan one of the headphones. Ryan put it in and heard the first song come on, "Live and Learn" by Crush 40, Ryan's favourite band. He smiled as the lyrics filled his head, the song seemed to fitted his life perfectly. And for once…
Life really was perfect…

Raimundo, Omi and Clay looked up as Kimiko and Ryan walked out of the dormitory.
"Hey! There you guys are!" said Raimundo "We were wondering were you were"
"Yes!" said Omi "You missed the best party ever!"
"Well…" said Ryan "Me and Kimiko thought we'd celebrate in our own special way…"
"Yeah" said Raimundo as he smirked at them, "I thought so…"

"So then partners" said Clay "Master Fung said our Singala moves are ready to be used in training, shall we mossie on to the training grounds?"
"You guys go on ahead" said Ryan "Master Monk Guan told me I need to go somewhere first"
"Where?" said Kimiko as she tugged at his robes. Ryan smiled as he looked at her.
"It's a personal thing…" said Ryan. Kimiko gave him a sceptical look before she smiled at him.
"Well…Okay" said Kimiko "If it's personal…You go on, I'll meet you later…"
She pecked him on the cheek as he turned around and walked off.

Dojo sighed as he looked up at the memorial.
"It seems like everyone I like dies…" sighed Dojo "First Dashi…Then my dad…I wonder if there is anyone who will actually stay with me…"
"There is" said a voice behind him. Dojo turned to see Colza behind him; he smiled as she slivered up to him and held his hand.
"There is someone who will be with you always…" said Colza as she smiled back at him.
There's a face searching far, so far and wide!

Ryan stood on the hill that Grand Master Dashi stood holding him as a baby one thousand, five hundred years ago. The clouds above him were dark and think, blocking out most of the sunlight. In front of him was a small tombstone, cracked, weathered and covered in plants from the centuries of neglect. He silently bent down and began to pull the plants away and sighed as he looked at what was written on the tombstone.
"Here lies Naomi Emi
Mother of Ryan Young, Lover of Chase Young,
Born July 14th 479
Died June 31st 500
"I love you Chase…Nothing can change that…""
Ryan smiled as he read the tombstone over and over again.
"Mum…" said Ryan "I finally found you…"
He looked up at the sky as the clouds began to clear, letting sunlight shine down on him.
"My mum and dad lived at the temple…" said Ryan "I original self was born there…I found love there…The temple is my true home…"
His smile got bigger as he clenched his fist.
"I know who I am…" said Ryan "I am not a warrior trained to conquer the world! I am not a monster made to destroy the world! And I'm not an experiment for an army of clones…"
He smiled as his body shuddered with excitement.
"I am Ryan Young!" yelled Ryan, his voice echoed through the misty mountains. He felt quite proud of himself as he sighed and calmed down.
"I am no longer tied to the Heylin side…" said Ryan in a calm voice, "I am free from all mysteries that surround me…This is who I am!"
He smiled as he looked back at his mother's tombstone, before turning around and heading back to the temple, where his friends, his girlfriend and more importantly, the rest of his life was waiting for him…
Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for everything! I ended this trilogy with the last chapter, combined with the end credits and one of the songs that inspired the whole trilogy. Keep an eye out for my next story "Dawn of Legends", and don't forget to R&R! And now that the story is over…All I can say is…
THE END
