Ok, so basically, I am in a writers block since this story is coming to a close VERY soon. I want to thank all of the people who have stuck with this story from when it was still a big horrible mess of sentences in one huge paragraph up until now. I am really glad that you all liked this story!

Now this little message is for Aki Masamune: Don't think I forgot about your prize! I am working on that, I need to find a way to put it all together. It is in my head though! Hopefully I will have it up soon, (although considering I am an idiot at some points it might take me awhile)

Now, I also have a question for all of you. I had a different version of this story that had the monks in it and a lot more OC's. So I'm going to give you the summary of that story, and I want to know which one sounds better: Problem Dragon or the other version.

Sum: After a few mix ups, the monks, Jack, and Chase now have to deal with 6 kids who need a way to get back home. That shouldn't be a problem. Then again, watching your kids from the future can cause a bit of mayhem…

It's crappy Summary I know, but I just want to know what you guys think. Anyway, I have probably bored you to death with my outrageously long Author's note, so now, I give you Chapter 19 of Problem Dragon!

NOTE: This is going to be long! And a lot of terror! You'll see.

2 hours earlier

'I'll kill him.' Wuya thought as she sat in the small storage closet. 'I'll kill him for taking Chase away from me! He was all mine until Jack had to come into the picture, and those horrid brats.' Wuya leaned against a box, already forming a scheme in her head. 'All I have to do is get rid of those two little rats, then I'll be able to get to Jack easily…'

"Alright Wuya, did you have fun in your little prison cell?" Zena asked, opening the door. Wuya stood up, glared at the two children, then stormed off to her room, ready to put her plan into action.

"Chase? What…" A yawn, " happened?" Jack rubbed his eyes, looking up at the overlord sleepily. Chase looked down at him, a small smile forming on his face. Jack looked so innocent while half awake.

"Nothing happened Jack. You're just tired is all." Jack nodded, wanting to fall back asleep.

However, both Jack and Chase jumped when they heard a loud screech echo throughout the halls.

"What was that?" Jack got up from his postion on the floor, having fallen of Chase when he jumped.

"Where are Zena and Alex?" Chase helped Jack to his feet as another scream was heard, sounding more boyish.

"HELP!"

Both Chase and Jack ran out of the room, rushing down the halls, checking each room for the missing kids.

() () () () () ()

"MOM! DAD! HELP!" Zena screamed from her room, watching as the fire filled the room. She didn't know where Alex was, which worried her more. She prayed that Wuya hadn't killed him yet. She watched as the fire started to burn the walls, the curtains, everything. She had ran into the closet in hopes of escaping getting burned to death. She heard Alex scream earlier, and hope he wasn't dealing with a fate as bad as this.

() () () () () ()

"Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me." Alex was backed against a wall as the large form of a mutated Leopard made its way close to him. It had six legs, two mouths, and looked extremely hungry. "AHHH!!" Alex jumped away when the leopard pounced, running into the adjoining bathroom, trying to find a place to hide, he jumped into the small towel closet just as the large mutant jumped into the room. 'Oh man, I hope Zena's ok.' Alex was lucky because of one thing. When Wuya had made the cat like this, it's nose had disappeared in order for the second mouth to fit. So luckily it couldn't smell his fear. 'Where is dad when you need him??'

() () () () () ()

"Zena! Alex! Are you in there?" Jack called from the outside, while Chase tried to break it down. When they saw the smoke from the room, they knew at least one of them had to be in there.

"MOM?" Zena screamed from the closet, watching as the fire started to burn the door. She felt the heat from the room, and was trying to breathe as the smoke started to fill her lungs.

"Zena! Is Alex with you?" Jack called back.

"No!" Was the hoarse reply.

"Jack, go see if you can find Alex. I'll get Zena out of there." Chase rammed against the door again, still trying to get it open. Jack could only nod as he ran down the hall towards Alex's room.

"Alex? Are you here?" Jack called once he got to the room. However, instead of hearing a scream, he got a roar in response.

"Oh shit." Jack backed away when he saw what Alex had been hiding from.

"Uhh, good kitty, nice kitty, uhh, want some catnip?" Jack felt pure terror creeping up his spine as the thing came closer towards him. Upon looking inside the bathroom, however, he felt his heart stop. Alex lay on the floor facing away from him, and he wasn't moving.

"ALEX!" Jack screamed, wanting to run towards him, but couldn't since the leopard pounced on him. Jack felt himself get hit in the head, then everything went black.

() () () () () ()

Finally getting the door to burst open, Chase had to cover his face as the growing flames had started to escape out of the room.

"Zena! Where are you?" He yelled. When he didn't get a reply, Chase feared the worst. Making his way through the fire wasn't easy, and a few close calls were made. He looked around the room, not seeing Zena anywhere. That's when he heard a few thumping noises from the closet. Opening it, he saw Zena slouched against the wall, struggling to breathe. He picked her up, and made his way out of the room. Once that was done, he said a few incoherent words, and the flames grew larger, burning almost the entire room, then they disappeared. Turning back towards Zena he shook her gently.

"Zena? Hold on alright? Just hold on." He transported to the kitchen, grabbing a glass from one of the cabinets, then filled it with cold water.

Zena opened her eyes a bit, drinking a bit of the water from the glass, then coughing again.

"Zena, what happened?" Chase asked her, removing the glass from her mouth, while she tried to regain her voice.

"W-Wuya." She managed to rasp out, feeling a tad better, glad that she was out of that mess.

Chase felt pure rage fill inside him. That bitch! How dare she even think of-

"Jack! Alex!" Zena felt her fear come back. Chase as well. Where were Jack and Alex at? The last he had seen Jack was when he was running towards Alex's room.

'That's just it! I didn't do anything! I was looking for Zena, then Wuya showed up from out of nowhere, saying I stopped her from getting something from you or something, then she started chasing me down the corridor trying to kill me!' The memory struck Chase like lightning. This wasn't about Zena and Alex, it was about Jack. Wuya wanted Jack.

"You!" Chase pointed at one of his cats. "Take care of her! Make sure she stays cool." With that, Chase teleported to Alex's room.

"Ha ha, I finally have you." Wuya smirked at Jack, as he whimpered. They were in one of Chase's dungeons, where Wuya had Jack chained to the wall, gagged with a old cloth.

"You always got in the way. You never could do anything right! You lose showdowns, you can't build a competent robot for your life, and you're a wimp. So, what made you think you could steal Chase away from me hmm? He was mine from the beginning, then you come in and pull him away from me by bringing those brats here. Now? I have you right were I want you, and I'm going to make sure your death is slow and painful." Wuya laughed as she grabbed a nearby chain, grinning manically

Jack's eyes widened, wanting to scream so badly. He was scared, not just for himself, but for Zena and Alex and Chase. What ever happens, he wanted them to be safe.

() () () () () ()

"Dad? Is that you?" Alex looked up from where he lay as he heard footsteps approaching him. Chase looked down at Alex, who had a nasty cut on his head. "What on earth happened?"

"Wuya came in with one of your leopards, and made it this huge monster! I mean it had a lot of legs and two mouths! Then I heard mom scream my name, but when I looked over all I saw was him being dragged away." Alex groaned as he felt pain in his arm and his head.

"Alright, Lets get you fixed up." Chase was about to feel his head when Alex shook it.

"No, you need to find mom first. I think Wuya has him, cause if mom dies, then so do me and Zena." Alex said, wanting to live, so that meant Jack came first.

Chase stood, looked down at Alex, who gave him a smile, then went off to find Jack.

'Owww. Someone help me.' Jack thought as the chain lashed across his chest again. Tears streamed down his face, watching as Wuya inspected it. The rusty chain was covered in his blood, as was his chest and stomach. He didn't deserve this. Why was it he was hated so much? First his father abandons him and his mother, then his mother dies, leaving him all alone. The kids at school make fun of him at school, calling him a freak and a slut. Now this. Was it really worth it? Was all of the pain worth it.

Then he remembered that Zena and Alex needed him. How scared they must have been. How Zena called out to him. How Alex needed someone to help him. The pain was worth it. Everything was worth it, just for them. They needed him. He wasn't about to give up just yet.

"One more time might do it, but how about we make it more interesting." With that said, Wuya lit the chain on fire, watching the green flames dance in front of her eyes. She looked at Jack, who had bowed his head. Smirking, she walked over to him, raising the whip one last time, only to have her wrist be twisted by a green scaled claw. The next thing she knew she was thrown against a wall, landing on top a pile of bones. Looking up she saw a very angry Chase glaring at her.

"You." He growled, grabbing the fire engulfed chain in his hand. Jack looked and watched as Wuya cowered in fear.

"You try to cook my daughter alive in her room. You mutate one of my own cats to kill my son. You chain my love against a wall and try to lash him open. Now, I will make sure you will never hurt them again!" With that, Chase brought it down upon Wuya.

Jack closed his eyes, unable to watch the gruesome scene. He heard Wuya's screams, the chain lashing down, and then…nothing. When he feels a claw ripping one of his wrists cuffs off of him, Jack opened his eyes and almost screamed when he saw Chase, still in his Dragon form, getting him out of the chains. Once that was done, Chase sifted back and pulled Jack into his arms, holding him as if there was no tomorrow.

"I'm relieved to see you're alive. I thought I lost you when I came in." Jack felt happy to be were he was right now.

"How are Zena and Alex?" Jack looked up at Chase, wanting to know what happened to them.

"Battered and wounded, but they are alive, and are worried about you. Let's go get you bandaged up and you can see them." Chase said, taking him and Jack out of the dungeon, leaving Wuya's dead body behind.

"MOM!" Both kids shouted as they saw Chase come in with Jack, his chest fully wrapped.

Zena had o few burns on her hands and legs but was well enough to move around a bit. Alex, however, had a broken arm and ankle, and a large cut on his head. He was able to walk around a bit, along with a tiger to make sure he didn't fall and injury himself more.

"We were so worried that you were gone." Zena said giving Jack a big hug, careful on his chest.

"Don't worry us like that again!" Alex scolded him jokingly, wagging his finger at him.

"I'm glad to see you two are alright." Jack hugged Zena back, then let Alex join once he made his way over.

"Now that everyone is here, how about we all relax for a bit. Dad you have got to be tired! What running around to save all of us." Alex said, ready to get some rest. Chase just chuckled and shook his head, leading all four of them to the nearby couch. Soon, all four were fast asleep, knowing that everything should be fine for the time being.

I cannot believe I wrote all of that. Took me 3 hours to write. With around 2-3 breaks, one were I can get something to eat, the other telling my mom that I am a yaoi fan girl and I am relieved to say that she is ok with it. I felt a weight lifted from my chest when she said that.

Anyway, I think that the next chapter might be the last! OMG! Problem Dragon will be done! Gasp! XD

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Oh, 2 things.

1: If you're wondering what happened to that mutated leopard, it was transformed back to normal and is currently paralyzed, since the spell took a toll on it

2: Song that inspired me to write this was "When I am Laid" by the East Village Opera Company.
