-1Clay sat up, yawning, "That nap was better than a summer Barb-E-Que with Aunt Lily's Lemon Silk Custard Pie." Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he wondered what to do now that he was refreshed. "I think I'll go pay Rai a visit." However, the medicine monk wouldn't let him in. So, after a bit of consideration, he rounded up the gang to play some cards. Except there was one problem, "Hey, y'all seen Jack?"
"No, I haven't seen him around," Kimiko said, "Matter of fact, I haven't seen Chase either." She said. Omi nodded in agreement, "Yes, I was hoping to spar with him earlier. I checked everywhere, but I could not find him." They decided to search the temple for them.
Three hours later, they met up again, none of them saw neither Jack nor Chase. "No sign of 'em," Said Clay. "But lookit what I found." In his hand was a white envelope. They tore it open and what they read shocked them all.
Young Monks,
I suppose you're wondering where Spicer and I are. Well, do not fret, he is here, with me, at my Mountain of Doom. I can't believe you all to be so gullible. If you had done your homework, you would have known I cannot continue to drink the soup, and be good at the same time. Anyhow, you know how these things go, if you ever want to see young Spicer again without the constraints of my rule hanging over him… well then I guess that's just too bad isn't it? Spicer is mine now. Oh, and give Raimundo my good tidings.
Your Favorite
Evil Ever Lord,
Chase Young
The monks slowly soaked in the news of Chase's betrayal, near traumatized. Chase had been so kind to them in the past few months. He was the one who had brought Raimundo home to them. He had patched up in-fights and joked with monks. Oh yes, it was going to be awhile before this one stopped hurting. But of course, that had been Chase's intention all along, gain the monks trust, then betray them at there weakest moment, making them weaker. Chase had also managed to gain the now powerful, and trained Jack as an apprentice. Finally, Clay spoke, "We can't tell Rai, not yet. He would die from the stress and worry. Oh, and probably also from Young kicking his butt around after he tries to save Jack. That too."
"Ohhh, this is most troubling. I can not believe Chase has betrayed us. I also can not believe he has taken Jack. Raimundo will be most disappointed when he finds out."
"I think 'disappointed', is putting it mildly. Very, very mildly." Said Kimiko. Clay hit the temple wall, forming a hole, but he didn't seem to notice. "We just found Rai! It isn't fair to them! They just… how can Chase be that heartless? Just because he has no soul, doesn't mean he is excused from emotions!"
"I think technically, it does. Just to be accurate."
"Whatever!"
"We have to inform Master Feng." Kimiko said.
Master Feng had expected the news of Chase's betrayal, he had not, however, expected the news of Jack's abduction. "No matter how many times I see cruel acts committed, I am still shocked by it all." Master Feng said, sad. "Talkin' about it won't help. We've got to take action!" Clay said. "Now, now, young monk. I am as eager as you are to retrieve Jack. However, we must not let our anger get in the way of thinking clearly, otherwise, we'd be playing right into Chase's hand. No, we must do careful planning, then we'll take action."

Jack woke up with a killer headache and in unfamiliar surroundings. He tried to sit up, but a hand pushed him back down. "You shouldn't sit up just yet, that hit to the head was harder than I intended." Jack, not thinking straight, didn't process that last part. Chase shoved some pills and a glass of water into Jack's hands. Jack shook his head, making it spin, "I'm fine." Chase sighed, trying to keep his patience. "It'll make you feel better." Jack looked at the medicine warily. "How am I supposed to know it isn't poison or something?"
"Why would I give you something like that?" Chase's voice was sickly sweet. "You think me that stupid? It may have taken me awhile, because of this bump to the head, but I just understood what you meant by 'harder than I intended.' And you think I wouldn't remember what my former idol's house looks like?"
"Former idol?" Jack sighed. He had tried to pretend like the event was nothing to him, like the whole way Chase treated him didn't bother to him, but the truth was that it truly hurt him. And he could stand it no longer. "You threw me to a dinosaur like I was nothing to you." Here, Jack gave a harsh laugh, "Hell, I am nothing to you. No matter how many things I do right, or how many things I do wrong, you are never impressed nor do you ever try to teach me, like you try do with a GOD DAMNED MONK, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!" Chase, despite himself, flinched. Jack took a breath that shook with a anger, and continued in a soft, dangerous voice, "Because I am just a useless puppet to you. I always have been and I always will be. But that doesn't matter to me anymore. I am through with following you like a blind puppy. I don't know why you brought me here, but whatever you were planning to do with me, you can forget it. Fuck you." Chase's eyebrow's practically disappeared off his forehead, but he regained composure. "No need for such language, Spicer. But very well, if that's the way you feel, then I highly doubt you will properly cooperate as an apprentice." Jack snorted in amusement. "Don't be so doubtful, you have been trained and have matured to the point of actually being useful. But you can only train someone if they are willing to be trained. And since you are clearly not…" Chase walked over to a closet and, after rummaging around for awhile, pulled out a cat box scoop, a bucket, and a sponge. He walked over to Jack and shoved the items into his hands. "Get to cleaning." Chase said, finishing his earlier sentence. Jack looked as if he was about to protest but Chase transformed into his lizard form and roared, sending Jack scurrying away to carry about his duties. Chase de-transformed and grinned, yes, Spicer was going to prove most entertaining.
