A/N: Thanks again, guys, for all the support so far.

Tubbimura had to say, it really wasn't all that bad living with Chase Young.

He had always admired the beauty of the man's palace(well, the inside of it, anyway). And the room he had been given was also quite nice. The lion he had been assigned to him as a servant was another lovely touch. It didn't seem to care much for him, but, oh, well. Katnappe had said that her jaguar didn't like her, either. Although Jack's tigers seemed to like the boy well enough...

A soon as Chase had brought him here a week ago, he had the ninja sign a contract. He wasn't surprised to see Jack and Katnappe's names already scrawled at the bottom of it. He felt proud of himself as he added his name. He was finally moving up in the Heylin ranks!

That happiness was short lived, however. Soon after, he had asked if he could bring Muffin Face to his new home, only to receive a negative response. His new master said that he didn't need to be attached so something as silly as a chihuahua. And since the contract said that Chase's orders were absolute, he couldn't go against the immortal. Not that would have dared to, anyway. That would just be a death wish.

He felt both sad and guilty, even though he made sure not to show it. But he made sure to leave his housekeeper a note asking her to please take the dog in.

There were, of course, more negative aspects to this. For one, Chase worked him harder than he ever had in his life. It was constant martial arts training and learning new sword skills from the time he awoke to the time he went to bed. What was even worse, the immortal had decided to put him on a diet. He now mainly ate fruits, vegetables, rice, and eggs. He would occasionally get meat to help give him protein and iron. But, sweet Dashi's ghost - he heard the monks say that once – did he miss sweets! It didn't help that Chase had at least two platters full of cupcakes at both breakfast and lunch.

Another problem was the tension between him and his fellow minions. They had tried to get along, but they all couldn't help but remember the injustices done to them in the past. Especially Jack. And he let the ninja know it whenever he thought his master wasn't around.

(Un)Fortunately, Chase suspected that there might be animosity between them, which was how he winded up in his current predicament. Chase decided that if they were ever going to work together , they needed to do some "team bonding". Which was why they were all seated at a table in the library, trying to avoid contact.

They were beginning to suspect that their master just wanted a few moments of silence.

Eventually, Jack broke the silence by rambling on about some new invention he had in mind. Ugh, even if he didn't have a past with these kids, he still wouldn't like them. They were just so annoying!

"- and its gonna have rockets on both the sides and bottom! You know, for an easy getaway. And it'll also be made of titanium, and I was thinking of installing a mini time machine, so I can wreak havoc in the past-"

This was so not helping the headache he was developing. Actually, he had been getting headaches for the past few days. It was a good thing that that one tiger was so good at healing. Perhaps he should sneak her some bacon or something the next time he saw her.

Thankfully, a lion chose that moment to stroll in the room. It jerked its head to the side, implying that they were to follow it. They eagerly stood up – Jack almost tripped over his chair in the process – and left the table. Jack was happy he was being sent for, but his companions were just grateful that the redhead had finally shut up.

They followed the lion to the inner sanctum of the citadel. Chase was there, standing by a fountain. His hands were folded behind his back and his face held his signature smirk.

"I'm glad you're all here," he greeted. "You have another mission. A new Shen Gong Wu has just activated."

"What is it this time?" Katnappe asked.

"It's called the Scope of Shu," he explained. "It has the power to reveal nearby hidden objects. Even ones you weren't looking for."

"Sounds nifty," Jack chimed. "Could be useful if you were trying to find buried treasure or something."

"I suppose," Chase responded. "The Wu is located in the Antarctic, so I suggest you all dress warmly."

"So we're going to go dig around in the snow? Awesome," Katnappe sniffed.

"Enough of that," their master warned. "Now, I hope that you are all able to put the past behind you and work as a team. I will most displeased if you slip up because of some petty argument."

"Yes, Master," they replied.

"I will be especially watching you, Tubbimura," Chase told the ninja. "I have yet to see your skills in action. Do not disappoint me."

"Yes, of course, Master," he replied with a bow.

"Good," Chase said. "Now, all of you go and prepare. We leave in twenty minutes."

The monks hated it when they had to go Wu hunting in extremely cold temperatures. They always had to wear heavier clothing, which slowed them down in combat. Except for Kimiko, for she could always use her element to warm herself up.

"It's colder out here than my Granny's left elbow," Clay shuddered.

"TMI, Clay, TMI," Raimundo groaned.

"Me must focus, my friends," Omi declared. "With the increase in Heylin forces, we must double our guard!"

"Omi's right," Kimiko agreed. "We can't afford to lose any more Wu."

"Let's see, it's a big golden telescope that probably buried in the ice and/or snow," Raimundo sarcastically contemplated. "How hard could it be to find?"

"I think it's already been found, kids!" Dojo exclaimed.

They all looked down to see some familiar figures. Jack, Katnappe, and Tubbimura were busy digging through a large mound of snow. They had no doubt that Chase some watching from somewhere nearby.

"The Wu is in the snow there! I can sense it," the dragon said.

He then quickly flew down to where the villains were. The monks all jumped off his back and faced their adversaries. By then, they had just deep enough to uncover the head of a telescope. Raimundo quickly sprung forward and touched it at the same time Tubbimura did.

"Tubbimura, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" the monk cried. "I wager the Ying Yo-Yo!"

"And I shall wager the Golden Tiger Claws!" Tubbimura said as he pulled the Wu out of his robes.

"The name of the game is Kung Fu Snowball Fight," Raimundo declared. "The one who's able to keep up the best is the winner. Let's go, Xiaolin Showdown!"

The ground around them changed into two twenty foot tall platforms. The opponents each stood on one and faced each other. They both had a large pile of snow on either side of them.

"Gong Yi Tanpai!" the cried in unison.

They both quickly reached over to the snow mounds and began making snowballs. After Raimundo decided he had a reasonable sized pile, he decided to start.

"Bird Buying Seeds!" he declared as he jumped into the air, spun in a circle, and hurled the snowball.

Tubbimura easily dodged it. A part of him wished the Wind Dragon would have challenged him to another Shen Yi Bu dare so he could have an even sweeter revenge. But this simple challenge would suffice.

"Cow Drinking Milkshake!" the ninja declared as he tossed a ball into the air and kicked it.

They went back and forth like this. Some of the balls hit, and others were easily dodged.

"Frog Filing Taxes!"

"Kite Avoiding Police!"

"Pear Patching Quilt!"

"Dolphin Flipping Pancakes!"

"Rake Teaching Math!"

"Toothbrush Salsa Dancing!"

"Volcano Baking Cake!"

"Doll Climbing Tree!"

"Ladybug Changing Shirt!" Raimundo cried. Putting as much strength into his arm as he could, he threw a snowball right into Tubbimura's face. This caused the obese man to stagger a bit, but he quickly regained composure. He knew that if he hesitated too long, he would lose the match.

"Scarecrow Sawing Wood!" he declared. He threw his snowball at a curve, making it look like it was going for Raimundo's head. Instead, it hit him in the stomach. Caught off guard, the monk tripped and fell off his platform.

The landscape turned back to normal, with Tubbimura now holding all three Wu.

Raimundo sank to his knees in defeat. "I-I can't believe we lost again," he moaned.

Chase chose this moment to appear on the scene."Very well done, Tubbimura," complimented. "I'm glad to see that you've been taking your training seriously."

Tubbimura bowed to the immortal. "It is a great honor to please you, Master," he replied.

Jack walked over to them and took the new Wu. "Hey, what do you say we try this baby out?" he asked. "Who knows what might turn up!"

Normally, Chase would have told his apprentice to not waste time with something so trivial, but their victory had put him in a good mood. "Very well," he murmured.

"Awesome!" Jack grinned. "Scope of Shu!"

Once activated, the telescope let out a green light. The light slowly traveled a surprisingly close distance away. A little more than twenty feet. Curious, they all walked over to it. There was what appeared to be another large mound of snow.

Frowning, Jack walked up to it and kicked it as hard as he could. It trembled for a moment before some of the snow collapsed, revealing a cave.

"Oh, this better be something good," Katnappe muttered as she and the others followed Jack inside the cave.

It didn't go very far, and there wasn't an abundance of room, so they all had to squeeze together. This was enough to annoy both groups, but what made it worse was that it was pretty dark. Thankfully, Jack had installed a flashlight into his watch. After a few moments of walking and awkward silence, they finally reached the end of the cave.

Jack shined his light on a block of ice at the back of the cave, and there were gasps from Dojo and the monks. Even Chase raised his eyebrows. They all recognized the figure that was frozen in the ice.

"Grandmaster Dashi?!"

A/N: I swear, the hardest thing about writing for this fandom is coming up with Xiaolin Showdowns. It seems like most of them have been done already. Also, I've figured out the formula for making fighting move names. It's a noun, then a verb, than a direct object. Believe me, they're really fun to come up with.

How good am I at writing the monks? I know I don't use them a lot, but I think I got their personalities dowm.
