Setting: Chase Young's citadel. Present day. (A/N: Here's where the Author Unlimited thing comes into play. Chase didn't lock Hannibal Roy Bean into Yin Yang world yet, and though the Xiaolin dragons have encountered Chase, they haven't met Carmen yet, but she knows who they are. Okay, on with chapter 3!)
Carmen had done very well during her training with Chase. He felt that the time was growing near when he could challenge Hannibal Roy Bean.
He had just dismissed her from the training session when the bean swooped in on Yin Yin from out of nowhere and landed in front of him.
"Well, well, well." Chase smirked. "Come to give me what you owe me?" He asked.
Hannibal chuckled darkly. "Yes, actually, I have. I also have heard about your plans for Omi and the Xiaolin dragons. I have to say that I am also impressed with your apprentice. You have done a good job. As your reward, I have for you the Ying and the Yang Yo-Yos."
As if out of nowhere, Hannibal Bean supplied Chase with the two yo-yos.
Chase smirked and claimed his reward.
"What do you plan to do now?" The bean asked Chase.
He laughed slightly. "I have no need for your little apprentice any longer, Hannibal Roy Bean. And I no longer need you as well. Ying Yang Yo-Yo!"
Opening the void to the Yin Yang world, Chase swiftly pushed Hannibal Roy Bean into the void, and quickly resealed it. With a wave of his hand, a few jungle cats bounded into the room, and chased Yin Yin out thru a window.
Now all that was left was to take care of his little apprentice…and he knew exactly how to do it.
Setting: The top of a mountain somewhere in China. Present day. The next day.
"This is a weird training exercise." Carmen commented as the two stood up at the peak. "What is this supposed to teach me?"
Chase smirked, and placed both of his hands on her shoulders. He looked directly into her eyes, and could see her blush.
"Today is going to be the last training session that you will have with me. I am about to teach you the final part of your training. Are you ready?"
She nodded. "What am I learning here today?"
He laughed and continued to smirk.
"To not trust so easily." He sneered. With strong hands, he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her clear off the side of the mountain. There was nothing but air underneath Carmen as she fell to her demise; watching Chase smile at her the whole way down.
Setting: Chase Young's citadel. Present day. A few days later.
The Heylin comet was here, and Chase was unhappy. He decided to lock himself in his room all day and sleep-just to be safe-and not plot anymore.
He awoke to a very unpleasant sight. The Xiaolin dragons were in his citadel, blowing everything up with their little Wudai powers and searching for his Shen Gong Wu.
"Chase Young!!" He heard Omi exclaim, once the monk had realized that they had been caught red-handed.
"We know that you're powerless!" Raimundo stated.
"There's no escape!" Kimiko added.
Chase grimaced and grabbed one of his statues, triggering the trap door in the floor to open.
But nothing happened. Chase now looked very dumb.
The Xiaolin dragons laughed at him.
He grimaced and ran thru out the halls, desperately looking for a working trap door that he could disappear down or into.
None of them worked. Nothing in his home worked- none of the little traps or gizmos. There could only be one answer: Someone had hacked and overridden the security system to his home.
But how? The only people who could even come close to skimming the surface of his security were himself and Carmen…but Carmen was dead now.
"She's dead now." Chase said aloud to reassure himself.
"Oh you'd like to think that, wouldn't you, Chase?"
He stopped dead in his tracks.
Standing at the end of the hallway, dripping wet with what Chase guessed was rainwater, was Carmen. She did not look very happy at all.
"Impossible." Chase snarled. "I killed you."
She laughed that crazy laugh of hers.
"You got lazy. Lucky for me, I fell off of that mountain and landed straight in the Xiaolin temple. You lied to me, Chase. You lied. You broke your promise to protect me and tried to kill me. But you know what was even worse?"
Chase could only stare silently at the girl before him.
"The way you smiled at me the whole way down."
She began to slowly walk towards him now.
"They saved me, Chase. So I did them a favor and let them in on the one day where you can't do anything about it."
Her hands began to flame now, and her crimson eyes burned fiercely.
"So now, Chase, it's time for me to teach you a little lesson of my own. Would you like to guess what this lesson is?"
He said nothing- only slipped one hand into a pocket and grasped the treasure inside. She was now standing less than five feet away from him.
She kept a solemn face- the light from the flames illuminating her expression. It made her seem creepier…if that was possible.
"You don't fuck with crazy people, Chase." She snarled. "Not ever."
Chase took in a deep breath as she lunged for an attack.
"Ying Yang Yo-Yo!"
