Clay used the golden tiger claws and went to Texas, when he got there it was in the afternoon, Clay looked around and when he turned around he saw a boy with dirty blond hair and charcoal eyes. He wore a red plaid shirt, blue denim jeans, and brown boots, running to him. They hugged as the boy said, "I missed you dad but I thought you wouldn't be able to come back till Christmas." Clay looked at Mudd with a serious look on his face then said, "Son I need you to become the next Dragon of the earth." Mudd had a shocked look on his face he asked, "Wh-why?" Clay looked away and said, "This time of peace has made the other Dragons and me too old to fight, and we all sense that a powerful darkness will attack soon, we need a new generation to take over, can I count on you son?" Mudd thought for a bit and then said, "Ok I'll help." Then Clay used the golden tiger claws to go back to the temple with Mudd. When Clay and Mudd got there Duro ran up and said, "So you're the Dragon of the earth?" Mudd looked at him and said, "Yea and who are you?" Duro said, "My names Duro and I'm the Dragon of the wind, come on let me show you around." Duro and Mudd run off while Clay gives the golden tiger claws to Kimiko to go get her daughter, Kanji.
Kimiko went to Tokyo to look for Kanji; Kimiko's first thought was to go to her dad's office, since his office had a house for the top floor. When she got there she saw a girl with long black hair that was left down, she had light bluish/greenish eyes. She was wearing a pink floral shirt, light blue came's, and black tennis shoes. She was reading a magazine when she looked up a big smile went on her face she ran up and said, "Mom! I can't believe it! What are you doing here?" Kimiko looked at Kanji and said plainly, "I need you to come with me to the temple." Kanji was surprised for a moment then said, "Mom I'm sorry to say this but no, I can't, I have a life and friends." Kimiko thought for a moment then said, "However if you come with me you'll get to spend more time with me and we can go shopping." Kanji didn't know what to say at that point, she didn't want to leave, but at the same time she wanted to spend time with her mother, she took a breath and said, "Ok, fine I'll go." Kimiko smiled as they used the golden tiger claws to go to the temple. When they got there Kanji walked around to familiarize herself to her new home. Kimiko then gave the golden tiger claws to Omi to go get his daughter Lily.
