I couldn't wait to write a new chapter, honestly, seriously, yes. So here's the new chapter I couldn't wait to write!

Chapter Six

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love."–Sophocles

Jocie had sat on the pond wall all day. She'd really screwed up now. But she'd fix it; swear to God, she'd fix it. "Hey Kimiko," she turned to the friend who has sat by her all day, "Can you go get Rai and Clay for me?"

"Sure," she disappeared around the corner.

"The fox knows what she's gonna do with her chickens." She muttered. When both boys were before her, she sighed deeply and began to speak, "I screwed up, a lot. And I'm sorry, Clay." Raimundo cleared his throat loudly, "And I'm sorry, Raimundo. I know that I can't be with both of you,"

"And that's why you chose me!" Raimundo said triumphantly.

"No," she said quietly.

"So you picked me, hot dang!"

"No, Clay, I didn't pick you either."

"Omi?" They asked together.

"No." There was a long silence.

"Kim?" Rai asked.

"No!" she growled massaging in between her eyes with her thumb.

"Then who?" He asked again.

"None of you. I'm just going to be by myself, thanks. I'm not going to pull that whole 'We can still be friends' crap. I'd rather not talk to you guys anymore unless it's absolutely necessary." She got up and left without another word.

"What just happened here?" Rai asked.

"I think we both just got dumped at the same time."

"That girl's got skills."

"Boy howdy."

"Shen Gong Wu alert, everybody look alive!" Dojo slithered up with the ancient scroll. Everyone huddled around. "The Crystal of Requirement," the dragon read, "It gives the user whatever they need the most at that time." They flew off.

Dojo brought them to the Appalachian Mountains in New Hampshire. "What's with all the New England placed Shen Gong Wu?" Jocie asked as they touched down.

"I don't know," Dojo said shrinking, "Master Dashi always like it here, but it's way too cold in winter." They began searching. All except Jocie who stood quietly.

"Is something wrong?" Kimiko asked.

"Nope, just looking around. Over there." She pointed down the mountain and began running. Everyone followed without question. They saw Spicer looking around the many granite rocks.

"It's not here!" he whined.

"You're not even looking!" Wuya shouted. Jocie turned around and signaled for them to be quiet and stay put. She began creeping forward. She turned her head back and forth testing energy levels, until she tripped over something and landed hard on the ground with a grunt. Jack turned and saw her; he ran over and grabbed the thing she'd tripped over. It was a large obsidian crystal with a piece of topaz embedded into it.

"Give me that!" Jocie shouted and she fired a bolt at him.

"Shieldbot, defend!" A large flat oval robot sprung in front of Jack. The shock bounced off of it and hit Jocie in the chest. She rolled over dazed. Jack activated his heli-pack and took off. "So long losers!" he cackled. Jocie groaned and Kimiko rushed over to help her up.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Stupid Jack. We could've really used that Shen Gong Wu too. Everybody in the world could use it."

Dojo brought them back to the temple. Jocie wandered away somewhere. "Is it just me," Rai asked, "Or are we losing more Wu with Jocelyn around?"

"Yeah, she's not really livin' up to her title. She should be the Dragon of Uselessness." Clay agreed.

"Hey, who wants to go to my house and get some Shen Gong Wu?" Jocie trotted up to them.

"We can't go steal Shen Gong Wu, even if it is from Jack Spicer." Omi protested. "That is dishonorable and not the Xiaolin way."

"The line between good and evil is sometimes almost indistinguishable. So sometimes, we must act as our enemy would act in order to defeat them. Isn't that right, Master Fung?" She looked over her shoulder at the old man.

"I could not have said it better myself, Jocelyn. Dragons, the Crystal of Requirement is devastating in the wrong hands. You should go with Jocelyn to retrieve it from Spicer."

So that was that. Dojo brought them to "Jack Spicer's Evil Compound". The four Dragons began to scale the wall. "What are you doing?" Jocie asked walking to the front gate.

"Climbing the wall," Raimundo grunted "What do you think we're doing?"

"You don't need to do that." She said standing at the number key pad by the gate. They gave up and walked over to stand by her. Jocie punched in 1-2-3-4-5-5-5-4-3-2-1. "The most complicated combination Jack has ever made." The gates swung open and she walked through. The crisscrossing infrared lasers had been disabled and the Guardbots shut down. At the front door there was another key pad. Jocie punched in 4-5-6-7-8-8-8-7-6-5-4. The security measures behind them reactivated and Jocie opened the door into a ritzy foyer. She led them through the house. A living room with a twenty foot long sofa and huge plasma screen television. A kitchen made almost completely out of chrome. An immense dining room with a chandelier the size of a small car and a thirty foot table with purple velvet chairs. "Pure sequoia." Jocie explained as she brought them into a rather plan looking hallway with a huge metal door. 'Jack Spicer's Fortress of Evil! STAY OUT!' the sign read. Jocie pulled on the handle and a small keyboard immerged from the door with an LCD screen. 'Enter Pass-tune' it read in large read letters. Jocie played the first few bars of A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. Kimiko started to laugh. "Jack's a huge Carlton fan, but shhh, you didn't hear it from me, okay?" In response to the song, the LCD welcomed 'Jack' in. The door began to open. There was a hiss of decompression and a lot of fog leaked from the edges of the door. "Stupid ostentatious Jack." Jocie muttered kicking in the door. There was complete blackness beyond it. "That's new." She said stepping inside. They all stood in the darkness for a while.

"I can't see anything." Omi said.

"Me neither." Jocie replied feeling a bit unnerved.

"But you're blind," Rai said, "You can't see anything."

"No, I mean I can't feel any energy at all." Suddenly a group of spotlights came on above them. Everyone was momentarily blinded and confused. Except Jocie who was just blind and confused.

"You fell right into my trap!" Jack laughed from somewhere, "Welcome to Jack Spicer's Evil Anti-Matter Maze!"

"Anti-matter," Jocie gasped, "That's why I can't feel anything, anti-matter sucks up energy and doesn't give any off."

"You led us into a trap, you two faced snake." Clay growled at her.

"No, I swear. I had no idea any of this was going to happen."

"Hello?" They listened to Jack again, "You're trapped in my maze, don't you want to hear what I have to say?"

"Not really," Rai said.

"Well you will anyway. The only way out is through my maze. And you are welcome to leave peacefully when you finish. If you survive! Mwahahahahaha!"

Yay! Cliffie goodness! Oh crap, you're all going to kill me…R&R!
