Cyra POV

Things went back to normal after Wuya was sealed in her puzzle box. I went back to fighting alongside Jack, and he took me back without hesitation. I never truly thanked him for that like I wanted to.

It was a little strange around Raimundo after what had happened between us, but I tried to ignore him, knowing full well if I let my feelings get the best of me, I would never be able to find the Incense of Existence and be freed of my curse. Only then could I be with him… If he would wait.. If he would understand why I had to stay away.

I always kept a friendly rivalry with all of the Xiaolin Warriors and fought them when we searched for Shen Gong Wu, if only for Jack. I had to make it up to him for letting him down before… because I had made the wrong choice. While I looked for the Shen Gong Wu I needed, I managed to be happy… Something I had never expected. I loved this crazy exciting lifestyle, and I could have gone on like this forever, if I could forget about what had happened with Raimundo, but the day was coming when the Incense of Existence would reveal itself… And everything would change.

Raimundo POV

Ever since the defeat of Wuya, things between Cyra and me had gotten weird… Every time I saw her, she just tried to avoid me. I wanted to see her… and to have her be my… I don't know… my girlfriend. I thought that's what we became. We did kiss after all… was that all just a dream? I guess I figured that she had to stay on the Heylin side, but for what?

I had hoped that the Shen Gong Wu she needed wasn't something terrible that would cause the end of the world like the Sapphire Dragon Shen Gong Wu… But what other kind could it be for her to stay on the side of evil and not tell me which one she was trying to get? I didn't want to expect the worse… But with how she was acting I had to.

I didn't know what was right: to stop her in case this Shen Gong Wu she wanted would cause trouble… or to let her have it to break her curse. I wanted her to be free, but at what price? There were so many things I still didn't know about her, things that she might not have even known.

After the revival and defeat of the Fearsome Four, we were training at the temple as usual when Dojo told us a new Shen Gong Wu had revealed itself.

"The Incense of Existence…" he said ominously.

"What does it do?" Kimiko asked.

Then Master Fung walked up to us and explained, "The Incense of Existence can be a very dangerous Shen Gong Wu. It allows whoever holds it to summon those who have died in the past, but only for a short amount of time if they do not acquire a physical body."

"Well I recon we should go grab it then." Clay replied, and all of us jumped on Dojo to head to Madagascar where the Shen Gong Wu was. None of us thought much of this Shen Gong Wu, thinking it just to be another one for us to collect.

When we got there, Jack Spicer was already there and searching for it, same as us.

"Jack Spicer...! We will find the Incense of Existence first!" Omi declared, kicking some of his Jack-Bots out of our way.

"Forget it baldy! This Shen Gong Wu is ours." Jack laughed.

I looked around for Cyra as I usually did, and saw her searching desperately around. I was about to say something to her, but then she took off towards the waterfall where the Shen Gong Wu was sitting atop the rocks.

Omi must have seen it at about the same time, and he raced to grab it first. Both of them took hold of it at the same time, and Omi challenged her to a Xiaolin Showdown.

"The game is finding the Shen Gong Wu. Whoever can find it in the water before falling off the edge of the waterfall wins! My Orb of Tornami vs your Shroud of Shadows." He declared.

"Alright let's go, Xiaolin Showdown!" They yelled, and the showdown began.

I had never seen her more focused, or more vicious as she attacked Omi while having on the Shroud of Shadows, knocking him around like a punching bag.

"Hey guys… Does Cyra seem a bit different to you?" I asked from the side-lines, watching from a distance.

"Now that you mention it… She seems way into the showdown… Like she really wants this Shen Gong Wu." Kimiko added.

"Yeah, Omi looks like he's having a lot of trouble with her this time…" Clay nodded.

"Could this be the Shen Gong Wu Cyra wanted so badly?" I thought in panic.

Of course Cyra won the showdown, being practically unbeatable in her determined state. She allowed herself only a second to rejoice, and then prepared to leave quickly.

"Woo! Way to go Cyra! That Shen Gong Wu is ours!" Jack praised. She glanced backwards at Jack and gave him a sad look.

"I'm sorry Jack… but I'm done helping you find Shen Gong Wu."

"What? But why?" He asked whimpering.

"This is the one I needed… Maybe someday I'll see you again. I'm sorry." She added desperately, and flew away without another look.
