Cyra POV

The reversing mirror broke as Wuya descended, and the monks gasped in horror.

Dojo broke the disturbed silence when he flew up to the witch and yelled, "Ha! Jokes on you Wuya! You broke the Reversing Mirror… Seven years bad luck. In your face!"

Wuya didn't so much as blink when she responded, "Actually… Since it's the Reversing Mirror, it's seven years good luck."

Dojo paused and retreated clumsily saying, "Ooh… hadn't thought of that… Crud." Burying himself in Omi's outfit with haste.

"I recon it's up to us to take Wuya down." Clay said, turning to Kimiko and Omi.

"There's only one way to do it…" Kimiko said optimistically.

"Xiaolin style!" Omi finished, jumping in the air and yelling, "Orb of Tornami, ice!" Then ice shot at Wuya's outstreached arms and incased her quickly… but simply opened her eyes caused the ice around her to shatter instantly, proving Omi's attack in vain.

Then Kimiko attacked, saying "Star Hanabi, fire!" holding the star in front of her making flames shoot from it straight at the Heylin witch. It exploded around her and she simply walked out of the flames flipping her hair laughing, "That tickled."

"Third Arm Sash, earth!" Clay yelled, sending the stone sash flying at her, but she dodged it too quickly for anyone to see, and appeared right behind him laughing more.

"Hahaha Shen Gong Wu?" She wrapped her arms around him in midair and whispered, "I am so beyond them now. Let me show you what Heylin magic can do…" Throwing him to the ground straight into his friends. Raimundo and I just stared in shock, though he looked much happier than I did.

"Hahaha!" Wuya laughed, collecting green fire in both of her hands and raising them to the sky making giant stone warriors rise from the ground. They surrounded the panicked monks as Wuya floated above them saying, "Crush them."

"Ahh! A retreat might be in order here!" Dojo screamed, and quickly transformed carrying the Xiaolin monks away in an instant. Wuya snickered, lifting her hands once more to create a giant stone castle made out of spikes of rock.

"Shoot them down." She commanded, and the huge stone men shot fireballs at the dragon in the sky, hitting their target and sending them tumbling to the ground.

"Go capture them Raimundo. Cyra, come with me to prepare our world domination." Wuya ordered, and I followed her into the castle, only glancing mournfully at Raimundo before exiting.

Later Raimundo joined us in the throne room that glowed with green light. He explained how Jack had saved Omi, Kimiko, and Clay, leaving just as quickly as he had come.

"Jack Spicer you say?" Wuya questioned.

"Yeah I think." Raimundo said, hands behind his back.

"Jack Spicer is a nat. We'll deal with him when the time is right." Wuya responded, sitting back comfortably in her chair.

"And that would be..?" Rai asked.

"Right after we conquer the world." She explained smiling, creating a small replica of the Earth right above her hands.

"I am the absolute ruler of the world! And all before lunch… Hmm, what will I do with the rest of the day?" She said triumphant.

"Woah… This is not what I was expecting…" Raimundo said, finally making some sense from all of this.

"Of course it isn't…" Wuya added, unsurprised.

"This whole conquering the world thing… I don't know if I'm down with it… I mean… I guess I thought…" He stuttered out.

"You thought you were going to get everything you ever wanted. And so you shall." Wuya went on, walking closer to him and raising her hand creating a green flame. She flicked it into an empty corridor, and a huge door was created that said "Rai Zone" with twin statues on each side of it.

Raimundo approached the door cautiously, as Wuya watched him glowing with green flames.

"You… You got every video game ever made in here!" He said shocked, glancing back in amazement.

"Oh no no no Raimundo… You have every video game ever made." She smiled. Then Raimundo grinned hugely, and jumped up in excitement running into his game room in joy. "Hehe… Enjoy Raimundo… You certainly earned it." Wuya snickered.

I only turned away, partially glad Raimundo got everything he wanted, but also a bit depressed, wondering what would happen from now on. I also felt guilty for allowing this all to happen. I had never wanted evil to rule the world… That's not what I was expecting either when I agreed to help Wuya, but I knew fighting against her now would only result in disaster.

"What's wrong Cyra? You want something too?" Wuya asked me.

"There's only one thing I wanted… That particular Shen Gong Wu." I told her, hoping now she would detect Shen Gong Wu for me.

"Oh sorry… I'm done looking for Shen Gong Wu." She stated, heading back up to her throne.

"What?" I spun around, wide eyed.

"Well it's not like I need it anymore! No one can even think of opposing me now. Why should I waste my time hunting down all those little toy's Dashi made years ago when I have absolute power?" She laughed.

I stumbled backwards, feeling the full sting of what I had done. I had allowed this great evil into the world… Out of foolish impulse, and now I couldn't even get what I had been looking for… The thing I had joined this game of Heylin vs Xiaolin for all along: to end the curse of my family…

Staying here would only result in a dreadful life and a painful death if I quit looking: no matter how many riches, pleasures, and material wealth Wuya ever gave me, I was still cursed as long as I waited to find the Incense of Existence.

"Of course you can have anything else! Come on and tell me… Do you want to rule anything in particular? I can give you so much more than one lousy Shen Gong Wu." She said, taking a seat.

"I'm sorry Wuya, but I have to go." I responded, looking away.

"What?" She asked shocked.

"That one Shen Gong Wu was the only reason I came to you and Jack in the first place. I need it. If you won't sense the Shen Gong Wu for me anymore, then I have no choice but to leave." I said resolved, but fully knowing what the consequences would be for this decision; the fight I would have to endure and the pain I would feel always for my actions. I had maybe ruined any hope of finding the Incense of Existence because Wuya ruled the world, but just giving up wasn't something I could do.

"You do realize that if you leave… You will be considered my enemy." Wuya said darkly, threatening me discreetly.

"Yes." I replied, and walked out the door. I knew I would most likely be chased down, but I had to try to get away… I took no second glance at Raimundo. I couldn't think about him now, or ever again. It was all a mistake from the beginning, and now there was nothing I could do to fix it. I had been a fool for wishing for something I could never have, and this was the price.
