Chapter 12

Jackie turned her palms towards Raimundo and tried to focus. Nothing happened. She couldn't do it. She couldn't attack her boyfriend. She didn't want to hurt him.

"I'm sorry, Rai…" she said "I can't do it…"

Raimundo approached her.

"Keep on trying, Jackie. You can do it, just focus."

"I can't, Raimundo… I can't hurt you…"

"…" Raimundo kept quiet, thinking. Then and idea came. "Turn around."

"What for?"

"Just trust me. Turn around."

Jackie did as Raimundo told her to. She turned around and closed her eyes. She thought it was useless, though. Whatever Raimundo was thinking, she was sure it wouldn't work.

Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around her.

"Missed me, Spicer?"

Jackie's eyes widened. She slowly looked down and saw two armored arms. 'Chase!'

The girl screamed and tried to get away from the man, but he wouldn't let her go.

"Aren't you happy to see me, Spicer?"

"Raimundo!"

"Pedrosa cannot come for you, Spicer. I took good care of him."

Jackie jabbed Chase on the ribs, making him let go of her. She looked around and noticed Raimundo lying on the ground, unconscious.

"What have you done?!"

"I just made sure he shall never try to steal you from me again." Chase said calmly.

"You… you… YOU UGLY SON OF A BITCH!" Then Jackie lost it. She turned her palms towards the evil warlord, and a huge bolt of energy flew towards him, all her fury charged in it.

The warlord hit a tree and fell to the floor, dazed.

"Ow…" he said "I guess that's enough training for today…" with that he took out the Moby Morpher and asked to be turned back. Jackie just watched as Chase transformed into Raimundo and vice-versa.

"R-Raimundo…" tears started running down her cheeks as she approached her boyfriend and hugged him tightly "I'm sorry! If I knew it was you I wouldn't have attacked you! I'm so sorry!"

The tanned boy hugged her back, smiling. "I finally found out what the problem is."

The redhead looked up at him.

"You throw those bolts when you're mad, and apparently seeing Chase pisses you off."

"I guess so…"

"Therefore you don't have to train much. You can protect yourself whenever Chase bothers you."

The redhead smiled at him and hugged him.

"Thanks for helping me, Raimundo."

"I love you, Jackie Spicer."

"I love you too, Raimundo Pedrosa."

Raimundo placed his hand on the girl's cheek and brought their faces closer, taking her lips with his own. Apparently Jackie liked strawberry flavored lipstick. And from now on so did Raimundo.

Suddenly a moan was heard. And it didn't come from any of the teenagers. They parted and looked at each other, then they slowly glanced at their side. Chase was waking up.

"Quick, hide!" The girl said as she pulled her boyfriend by the arm and dragged him behind her. They hid behind a tree and watched as Chase slowly returned to his senses. The man stood up and rubbed his temples. He looked around him and growled in anger. He was about to start looking for the two love birds when Wuya's ghostly form appeared.

"Chase, this really isn't a good time to take a nap."

The dragonlord gave her an annoyed look.

"I do not take naps, Wuya."

"Then what were you doing just now?"

Chase looked around again, trying to spot the teenagers.

"I was returning to consciousness."

"You were unconscious? What happened?"

"Spicer."

Wuya looked wide-eyedly at the powerful warrior for a moment, then started laughing uncontrollably.

"J… Ja… Jackie Spicer… did this to you?!… That little weak and scrawny girl?!… God, that's rich! Hahahahahah!"

The man growled louder, making the floating witch stop laughing and look at him, frightened, instead.

"Do not mock me, Wuya. This is a serious matter. She may look like an innocent, harmless girl, but she's actually extremely dangerous."

The two teenagers looked at each other, confused. How could Jackie be dangerous? She tried her best at Showdowns and few were the times she won. How could she be so dangerous if she barely beats any of the Xiaolin Monks?

"We must warn her father." Chase continued. The couple focused on their conversation once more.

"Which one of them? Harold or Sirilis?" Wuya asked.

"Both will have to know. But Sirilis shall be the first. After all, he is Spicer's real father, and he knows her much better than Harold does."

Jackie's eyes widened.

"And how are you going to tell him this? I mean, he's the Devil. He lives in Hell. How will you be able to talk to him?"

"Through a spell." The dragonlord answered. "I am sure he will find a solution for this… problem."

The witch smiled. "I knew that girl wasn't normal. Seriously, the Devil's daughter falling for a boy that's on the side of good? Sirilis is gonna freak out when he finds out about this."

"Come, Wuya. I will inform him right now."

The floating mask approached him and they teleported back to Chase's lair.

Jackie started feeling dizzy. She started losing her balance, but fortunately Raimundo noticed it just in time to help her steady herself. She looked up at him and started talking, as if he could give her answers.

"If Harold Spicer is not my father… then… who is?… And who am I?"

The tanned boy looked at her, wishing he knew, whishing he could answer her. But the truth was he couldn't. All he could do was hug her and wish it would make her feel better. And that was what he did.

He pulled her against him, putting his arms around her, kissed her forehead and laid his head on hers, feeling her silky hair against his cheek. But although he did all this, he knew it wouldn't make it better. He knew his girlfriend was in shock. After all, she had just found out that she's been living a lie, that the name she thought was hers actually wasn't. And this time he couldn't do anything to help her.

Wuya stood still next to Chase as he read the spell out loud. He said words she had never heard before, but she knew he could speak the strange language fluently. A couple more words and a huge green flame rose from the ground, forming a big circle, and the image of two red glowing eyes appeared in it. But that was all they could see. Two red, frightening eyes glowing in the dark.

"Ah, Chase Young." A voice was heard. It was strong and terrible, and it mixed with another voice, one that sounded like someone had their vocal cords damaged. The mix of the two voices coming from it made him sound like a monster, a horrible being that shouldn't be released under any circumstances, for the world's sake. "It has been a while since we've talked. What informations do you bring me?"

"Unfortunately, I only have bad news about your daughter, Sirilis. Her powers are revealing themselves."

"I do not see how are those bad news, Young. It all means the time is approaching."

"Yes, I understand what you are saying, but in her situation, they're not good news at all."

The eyes narrowed.

"Situation, you say? Well, then, you may explain her situation to me."

And so Chase did. He told everything that has happened, from the scene with the Mirror of Truth to the episode where Jackie knocked him out cold. After he told the whole story, the voice growled in anger.

"That Dashi was clever. He actually built and hid a mirror that would warn the Xiaolin side about who they were really facing. And it worked. I gave all my warriors the task of finding the mirror and destroy it, yet they couldn't find it."

"Say, did you lose any warrior during that search?" Wuya interrupted their conversation.

"I lost a group of five, yes. Why do you ask, witch?"

"When Jackie and I found it, there was a giant snake protecting it. Thankfully, three of the Xiaolin warriors kept it distracted, but the fourth… he discovered your daughter's secret and it only took him a couple of days to steal her heart."

The voice growled louder, furious at hearing such news.

"Very well, I shall talk to Harold Spicer. I know exactly what to do. But you have to attend her birthday party, Chase Young."

"I had already decided to go, but could you explain me why will my presence there be of such importance?"

"I will let Harold explain it to you. For now, all I can say is that my daughter will be in for a big surprise."

That said, the eyes glowed brighter one last time before the green flames disappeared.
