Shadow was on top of a roof of a tall building overlooking a nearby bank. He was out on patrol as were the others. His partners was Jinx and her mind was elsewhere.

Shadow took the SNK-Double Scope binoculars from his eyes and turned to Jinx. He asked, "You're worried, aren't you?" He was just trying to make conversation, despite knowing the obvious answer.

Jinx snapped, but kept her voice low enough, "Of course I'm worried! Aren't you?" She added, "Ryuki's s lost in another time or dimension somewhere and I don't know what's going on with him. I hope he's okay but I need to know."

Shadow replied, "He'll be fine. Draco has survival instincts and he's not exactly alone. Remember that he still has Yaminekoryu with him." He looked through the binoculars again.

"Did Ant report anything new?" Jinx asked. Shadow flinched. She knew Shadow and Ant had a history from what Pluto had told them but she wasn't sure why Shadow didn't like him. Ant seemed like a nice enough guy.

Shadow answered, "Not yet. Pluto gave him that scanner to track down the Hyper Inzecter. He also had it made to track down Draco's communicator as well as his SB Watch. As long as he has any of them on him, he can find him."

"Oh, okay."

Something caught the Snake Knight's eye. "Someone's trying to break into that jewelry store. Let's move!"


Ryuki stared at his communicator and sighed. It wasn't working so it was useless junk and he doubted that anyone in this universe would know how to fix it. However, he decided to keep it anyway. He stared at his SB-Watch and checked it only to find that the beacon was not functioning. He remembered that the homing beacon would only work within the range of the Smart Brain Satellite. However, said satellite did not exist here either.

They were still flying, Ryuki on Dragonzer and the rest on Appa, trying to find a town or a village to rest and restock on supplies. Now that Ryuki had joined them, they would need more supplies now.

Ryuki then reached into his pocket and pulled out small notebook. This was like a journal to him and he began writing in it with a pen. Sokka noticed this and asked.

"Hey, Ryuki, what are you doing?" Ryuki nearly dropped his pen in shock and it was a really long way down.

"I'm just writing in my journal," he replied.

"Why?"

"Because I'm in a whole new world and I need to document all this."

"That sounds like a good idea, Ryuki," Katara said.

"Yeah, too bad I can't read or write," Toph muttered.

"Well, instead of writing maybe I can do this," Ryuki said as he detached his DRA-Phone from his DRA-Cam and then held the camera up.

"What are you doing?" Aang asked curiously. Momo flew over and perched himself on the Knight's shoulder.

"I think I'm going to document our travels with my camera," Ryuki said, looking through the lens.

"How can that little thing document stuff?" Sokka asked skeptically. Ryuki smirked and then flew over to the others and flipped the screen on the side of the DRA-Cam open. He turned it on and then chose something to show them.

"Here's something you might like to see. It's when we all went to the beach," Ryuki explained as the video played.

"Cool!" Aang said excitedly.

"That's amazing!" Katara said.

"How is that picture moving?" Sokka asked curiously.

Toph asked, "Moving pictures?" She was blind and Ryuki felt a little sorry for her.

"This is just something I wanted to show you all that's from my world." He snapped his fingers. "I got an idea. Maybe when Aang does Earthbending and Waterbending training, I can record him using my camera so we can see what he needs to perfect!"

"That's a great idea!" Katara said. "What do you think, Aang?"

"Worth a shot," Aang replied. "Toph."

"Whatever. I don't need no machine from another world to see what you did wrong," Toph said.

"Hey, what else is in here?" Sokka asked as he reached for the camera but Ryuki slapped his hand away. "Hey!"

"Gomenasai, Sokka-san, but I don't think you should be handling my camera," Ryuki said apologetically. Sokka grumbled.

"Things tend to break around you," Katara added. Everyone laughed at him.

"So, Aang-san, what's the plan for today?" Ryuki asked the Avatar.


Ant and Ryan were eating in a small restaurant, enjoying a meal together. Ant had the device hidden in his clothes as to not draw attention.

"Still no sign of the Hyper Inzecter or Ryuki," Ryan said as he took a sip of his drink.

"Yeah, and the signal of the Hyper Inzecter and the traces of the tachyon particles are getting weaker." Ant agreed. "I don't think we can track it any longer when the signal disappears though."

"But we have to," Ryan said. "It was a request from the Titans."

"You're right," Ant said. He then took out some money and placed them on the table. "Let's go."

"Yes." Both Ant and Ryan got up. As soon as they did, Iroh and Zuko walked past them.

"Just a small meal, uncle, and that's it," Zuko said. He knew that his uncle had a tendency to overspend at times. Okay, a lot of times."

"I know, Zuko, I know," Iroh said as they sat down. "Waiter!"

If Ant had checked the device. He would've found the Hyper Inzecter sooner. Oh, well.


The bandit fell with a thud as his throat was slit open. Azula smiled as Kat licked her bloodstained claws.

"I hate bandits," Kat said disdainfully. She was still dressed as if she was from the Fire Nation but with the utility belt Slade had given her. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood of the clawed tips of her gloves. "No style or finesse."

"They're bandits," Mai said as she took a knife out of the neck of one dead bandit. "What do you expect? Besides, I don't think our money was the only thing on their minds."

"The way they were leering at Ty Lee-chan, I wouldn't be surprised," Kat said with a hiss.

"Come, ladies, we still have work to do," Azula said. "Ty Lee."

"Yeah, Azula?" Ty Lee said from behind a tree. She had fought off the bandits too but she was not the type to kill like Azula, Mai and Kat. Seeing how Kat and Azula enjoyed killing the bandits just unnerved her a bit to the point of making her sick. What had she gotten herself into?

"Time to go," Azula said. "There's a town up ahead where we can go to get a good meal."

"But first," Kat said as she snapped her fingers and the girls' garbs turned into those of the Earth Kingdom. "We don't want any soldiers coming after us for being Fire Nation, do we?"

Azula smirked. Kat was a good planner, and although older than the princess, was quite respectful of her. As she should be. "Good idea. Let's go, ladies. Then we can go after the Avatar."

"And I can bag that cute Water Tribe boy!" Ty Lee said gleefully. The others stared at her. "What? I think he's cute."

"Having crushes on the good guy," Kat said with a sneer. "Those never end very well, trust me."

"What makes you say that?" Mai asked the mercenary apprentice of Slade.

"I've seen it happen a lot of times, Mai. The bad girl/guy always ends up falling for the good guy/girl and then they become goodie-goodies too. It's horrible. You should see my brother with his pink haired girlfriend. She used to be so bad but now she's just a hero." Kat stuck her tongue out in disgust.

"Pink hair?" Ty Lee beamed, "I'd love pink hair!"

"You would, Ty Lee," Azula said evenly. "You would."

"What are we waiting for, Azuka-ojou-sama? Time to eat and I'm hungry!" Kat said, pointing forwards.

"Didn't you like eat a ton of fruit?" Mai asked. "And a bird?"

"Yeah, so? What's your point?"

"Never mind…" Mai sighed.


"Mini vacations?" Aang questioned their dragon-riding friend.

"Just something to do to unwind," Ryuki elaborated. "I mean you all have been working hard and you do deserve a bit of something to do."

"No way!" Sokka protested. "We need to work on defeating the Fire Nation! We don't have time for vacation!"

Ryuki chuckled. Sokka reminded him a bit of Robin.

"Sokka, I think we should. Just one day to relax and then we'll continue," Katara reasoned.

"No way!" Sokka crossed his arms.

Ryuki was recording with his DRA-Cam and said to Katara, "He's very stubborn, isn't he?"

"As long as I've known him," Katara said with a sigh.

"Let's just vote," Toph suggested. "It's better than just bickering."

"Good idea, Toph," Aang said. "And Appa needs to rest anyway. We've been flying for hours now."

"And we're flying over a desert too," Ryuki added looking down. "Lots and lots of sand…" It reminded him of the desert outside of Jump City. "Oh and there's some cacti too."

"So, who votes we go on mini-vacations, raise their hands!" Ryuki raised his, followed by Katara, Aang and Toph.

"Hold on here!" Sokka shouted.

"Sorry, Sokka," Katara said. "Majority rules."

"Well then, let's start now," Aang said as he directed Appa down onto the ground. "Our mini-vacations start now!"

"We should be training and-" Ryuki fired a freeze ray to his mouth and ice covered it, muffling him. "Ump! Ump!" He pulled at the ice.

"I've been trying to shut him up for ages," Katara said relieved. "Thanks, Ryuki."

"You're welcome," Ryuki smiled.


Jinx had returned from her patrol with Shadowcobra and then fell on her bed, exhausted, physically and emotionally. She reached under her pillow and took out a sketchbook. She flipped through it, revealing a few pictures of unicorns. At first glance, no one would suspect her as the unicorn loving type and none of her old friends at the HIVE knew either. They would laugh at her and the other Titans would make jokes about the 'witch that loved unicorns'. If any of them found out and cracked a joke, she would hex them to next week.

Well, not all the Titan would joke. She knew one especially who would love to see her sketches.

Draco…Ryuki…She had not shown him her sketchbook yet but when he came back (not if) she would show it to him. Unlike the others she knew he would appreciate them and not laugh and think it was stupid. The guy had a thing for cute objects. He had a big teddy bear in his room that a friend of his had given him for his birthday.

Jinx sighed sadly as she flipped through the sketchbook and then found one particular sketch. It was a picture of Ryuki posing in one of his uniforms. She flipped through it again to find a picture of his face, smiling at her. A tear fell from her eye as she hugged the sketchbook to her chest. She then stared at the pink stoned promise ring he had given her. She remembered the words engraved on the inside perfectly.

'My Heart, My Love, My Soul Mate.'

She remember when he'd given her that ring and she cherished it since. Just like the confession back on their first date. It was magical.

Gizmo and Pluto were still trying to figure out how to find Ryuki as did Shadow who was going through his books for a spell. Jinx had gone through her books as well but didn't find anything that could help. They had to know where he had been transported to before they could transport him back.

Jinx felt fear. What if they never found him again? She shook her head. No, she had to stop thinking like that. It just wasn't healthy. Ryuki, she knew, was a survivor and he still had his armor with him and his powers so he wasn't exactly helpless…

Then she remembered the state he was in back in Tokyo when he had gone after Scorpios alone and…she just hoped it wouldn't happen again.

She remembered when she once had a relapse and nearly stole a beautiful golden necklace. She didn't and couldn't do it, obviously, but it was still just so tempting. She broke down and cried, telling him. She was afraid he would reject her but she told him anyway and he had held her a she cried. He had comforted her and said to her that he would help her and never turn his back on her. That was when she realized his feelings for her were sincere and that he just wasn't getting another criminal out of the Titans' way. He wanted to reform her and he did.

It had broken her heart that day when Blood had tortured him and then made him turn into the savage Ifrit Orphenoch. He was just an unbelievably nice guy and she loved him for being who he was. She didn't want him to change, ever.

All she could do was pray to the Hindu gods and hope, putting her faith in them.

'Please, bring him back to me.'


A/N: The next chapter will be based on "The Library" episode. Also, Ant and Ryan will end up in Auntie Wu's town for prediction and so will Azula, Kat, Mai and Ty Lee. You want to see these two groups fight? Who should win?

Anyway, tell me what you want to see until the next chap. I'll have Ryuki and Kaat stay around until the season finale to see how they change things. I'll take any suggestions but I'm not sure if I can use them all.
