Master Fung quietly entered the room with the five sleeping monks. He woke Alyssa and brought her outside, Crow already waiting in the middle of the garden. He looked down at Alyssa. "As you know, you are Xiaolin warriors. As my students you should also be known as friends, but it seems a memory of a certain fight has angered you to hate Crow," he said, continuing to beam at her. "I have decided to send you on a quest that normally only apprentices would be able to handle." He saw Alyssa glare at Crow as if it was his fault. "The two of you will ride with Dojo to a place familiar to Crow. San Francisco."

Crow's eyes widened. "Master Fung, that place is dangerous to be! So many gangs and violence if you just step in the wrong direction!"

Master Fung shook his head. "You two will be there until the storm has been calm." His sentence left the two in a confused state, but soon were on Dojo and flying away. Crow bit his lip as they flew through the darkness. They didn't bring any Shen Gong Wu and were going to the place where he had learned to fight. If Alyssa couldn't take him in a fight, she was sure to pick and get hurt by someone else. He wasn't about to let that happen to Alyssa.

Alyssa glared at Crow. Surely this was his fault. They were going to a dangerous place he was from. "I bet everyone there is just like you.. violent just from being hit once.." She smirked as she was Crow look down a bit, but didn't exactly feel like a winner. Since they started as warriors she had been mean to him while he had been nice and even smiled aat her. After Crow had been so dangerous during their joining fight, she didn't feel like forgiving him so easily though. During this trip he would have to prove himself.

*Flashback

"If you beat me in a fight, then I'll join you temple thingy," Alyssa said.

Master Fung shook his head. "I'm afraid you would get too hurt in a fight with me," he said, looking over to Crow. Maybe she would challenge him to a fight, and since he was so unstable it wouldn't be such idea. He would have to think of another way to get this girl to go with them to the temple to train.

"Then him! If he doesn't fight then I'm not coming with you!" Alyssa said bitterly, spitting at Crow.

Master Fung quickly turned to Crow, and handed him a chain he pulled from a secret pocket. "Put this around your neck," he said. "It will control any urge to kill you get." Crow nodded and put it on, facing Alyssa and stepping up.

*Flashback

Alyssa was slowly remembering the fight.

Crow on the other hand was remembering when he met Master Fung. The way he took down his old gang in a mere instant was amazing, and he was instantly hooked to be a warrior.

*Flashback

Crow was surrounded by ten different gang members. "Leave our gang? You're gonna get beat the hell out of."

"You didn't tell me you did evil crimes with a happy smile!" Crow spat, getting his hands up, but someone put a hand on his shoulder. "Hello young Crow," the old man said. Crow didn't see much after but everyone was on the ground except him and Master Fung.

*Flashback

Soon Dojo landed, it early in the morning and still dark out. Dojo made himself short again and perched himself on Crow's shoulder. "Alright, you kids make up so we can get out of here. San Francisco is supposed to be really dangerous if you even take a wrong step. He looked up at Crow, who's face had left it's usual happy to a blank stare.

"Every move you make here could be your last," he whispered, looking at Alyssa, who turned from him.

"Whatever," she said harshly. "I hope you get hurt." She looked back slightly and Crow was looking down, then back up to her, this time his face a bit colder. She wondered if she awoke the dragon within him.

"You know what? All you've done since we met and you lost that DAMN FIGHT is be mean to me, while I've been nice to you, but no more. If you won't be nice, I won't either," he spat, making even Alyssa a bit nervous. Dojo was of course shaking thinking the dragon would unleash, and climbed down, getting on Alyssa instead, but she didn't even seem to notice.

"Just chill before y-you break out into some rage.." Alyssa told him, trying to keep her cool. She was actually quite nervous since she couldn't fight.

Crow took a deep breath. "Nicest thing you've said the whole time since I've known you," he said, allowing Alyssa to lead on. He was debating letting her fall vistim to some gang and saying it was a freak accident, but then thought it was just the darkness talking and took another deep breath, his personality regaining. "I'm sorry, that wasn't me talking," he told Alyssa, but regretted it immediately.

"Whatever punk." She kept walking on, into a more dangerous section of the city. "It seems San Francisco isn't so dangerous after all." Crow didn't say anything, but kept a sly eye on everything. They were in the area where his old gang was, and he knew if he was seen, revenge would be dealt.

*Flashback

"So if I join you guys then we'll keep the streets clean from other gangs?" Crow asked interestedly. Little did he know that the gang would also commit crimes and murder other gang members who stayed on their turf too long.

"Yeah kid, we could use someone with an innocent face like you.. unknown to any gangs.." their leadcer smiled warmly at him, but it was fake, Crow just couldn't see through the deception. His plan was that each and every one of them had some criminal record except the Crow, so if he joined them, they would have someone to do the dirty work and get the worse punishment if ever caught. Plus, he already knew how to fight from other gangs attacking him, so he was the perfect member.

"Alright then.. I'm in," Crow said, not knowing that just a mere week later, he would leave the gang and become a Xiaolin Warrior. "I want to do this town of danger some good."

*Flashback

"Alyssa, we shouldn't go through here, it isn't safe," he said, a hint of worry in his voice, as he watched the girl continue on.

"Stop being so pathetic, nothing to fear here. If you're just going to be afraid of this area, go away. I'm gonna keep going on. Jeez, and you're the skilled fighter."

Crow's face turned red from anger at this. "I'm trying to stop you from going somewhere dangerous and you won't even listen to me!" He turned. "Fine. I'll leave you to keep going.." He walked away at final sentence, leaving her.

Alyssa shrugged but didn't care. "Good ridance," she said to Dojo, but the dragon shook his head. "I'm going to talk to him, this mission will keep you two here forever if you won't make nice," he said, hopping off of Alyssa and finding Crow, climbing up on his shoulder again.

"You know you might regret it if you leave her.." he told the monk.

"I don't care, nothing that happens is going to make me turn around and help her," he spat, and continued walking. Just a second after he said it though, a high pitched scream was heard. It was Alyssa's voice.

"CROWW! HELPP!"
