A/N: Okay, here's a real chapter. *throws confetti* I'm glad you guys seemed to liked the last chapter lol.

Pandabubba was not having a good day.

First, he accidentally spilled hot tea on himself at breakfast. Then, he was almost arrested while he was making a "business deal". Well, he was actually shaking some punk down for the money he was owed. Nobody stole from Pandabubba. But right when his boys were teaching the moron a lesson, the police showed up, so they had to run for it. Oh, well. At least he got his money.

But what happened next was what put the icing on the cake. He had decided to try and steal some Shen Gong Wu. The last time he had them he was making more money than ever. And word on the street was that the Xiaolin monks had been slipping lately, so how hard could it be to raid their Wu vault?

As it turned out, it was very hard. He had, naturally, went to their temple in the dead of night. He brought along plenty of his boys and even a few of Spicer's old robots. He figured that if nothing else, they could be a distraction. But when they tried to get into the Wu vault, the monks showed up. To his misfortune, they seemed eager for a fight. Those rumors that they had been slipping must have been true. They always did seem like sore losers.

They had beaten his men and the robots within minutes. He had to quietly sneak away in the midst of it all. What was worse, they had beaten some of them so bad that they had to be hospitalized. And he did not like having to pay their hospital bills. Sure, he took it out of their paychecks, but still.

As soon as he made it back to his house, he had poured himself a drink and sunk into his expensive leather couch. He wasn't sure why, but lately he wanted more out of life. Of course, being the biggest crime boss in Hong Kong was nice, but he wanted to be the biggest crime boss in the world. But even though he was successful, he just didn't have the means to do so. There were plenty of even bigger and badder crooks out there.

What he needed was some outside help. He needed someone who could help him gain and keep territory. Someone who could help him pull off the most difficult of heists. Someone who could help him be evil.

He smirk came across his face. He knew just who to go to.

Chase couldn't believe his good fortune.

He had indeed been planning on recruiting Pandabubba next, but the man had actually come to him first. It seemed that the man wanted the immortal to help him advance his career. Which was simply perfect, because that was what Chase had been planning on using to persuade the man to join his side. Not that he was going to let the odd-looking man know that, of course.

They were sitting in Chase's dining room. He had used magic to make the length of the table a bit smaller. It would have been most aggravating if they had to shout at each other.

"So, Pandabubba," he drawled, trying not to chuckle, "why should I help you with your endeavors? I myself have little need of money, and flat out stealing is not exactly my...'style', so to speak."

"Chase, that is, if I may call you that," Pandabubba started with his head bowed. Even though it hurt his pride, he knew that he should show the immortal respect. "With your help, I believe that I can be great. I can have the entire crime world in my grasp. I can help spread evil all over the globe."

Chase pretended to mull over this. "And what's in it for me?"

"I will, of course, give you a share of the profits," he forced out through gritted teeth. Oh, how he hated the thought of giving up money. "And I can even help you with your world domination plans."

"Oh, really, now?" Chase asked, faking sudden interest. "That is something I would be most interested in. But, how can I be sure I can trust you? I've noticed that you have not been particularly loyal to your past 'business partners'."

Pandabubba flustered at that. He should have figured this man, who prided himself on honor, would know about his track record.

Chase grinned at his soon-to-be minion's discomfort. "Let's make a deal," he suggested. He reached into his breastplate and pulled out the contract. He set it out in front of Pandabubba, who started to look over it carefully.

"If you sign this contract," Chase continued "you will be swearing loyalty to me. If I give you an order, you will follow it. In exchange, I'll help you with your future goals. How about it?"

Pandabubba hesitated. He wasn't the sort of man to take orders from anybody, but working with Chase young wasn't an opportunity he wanted to pass up. He took a pen out of his jacket and signed it, raising his eyebrows when he saw the names that were already scrawled there.

Chase stood up. "Follow me," he ordered. "I have something I want you to do."

Wuya stood cautiously outside the Xiaolin temple. If this didn't go perfectly, her and Hannibal's entire plan could be ruined.

Gathering what little strength she had, she managed to lift a small flute Hannibal had given her. It was a Wu called the Flute of Dozing. He had apparently won it in a Showdown a few months ago. It could be used to bring a sleeping person to your side. And the best part was that they would not remember it when they woke up.

"Flute of Dozing!" she cried.

The flute started to play a soft, almost inaudible melody. She could actually see it traveling inside the temple. It resembled a light blue mist.

She didn't have to wait long for it to work. To her sadistic delight, it was the Fire monk who came out. Her eyes were closed and her arms were stretched out in front of her. Anyone who saw her would merely think she was sleepwalking. She slowly made her way over to the ghost's side. Cackling under her breath, Wuya places her tentacle-like arms on the girl's head and gave her the same treatment as Tubbimura. She then sent Kimiko back inside before she left. It wouldn't do for anyone in the temple to see her.

"It looks like you're finally going to be useful, Kimiko," the witch snickered as she made her way back to Hannibal's base.

Pandabubba couldn't believe what he was seeing. In front of him was Jack Spicer, of all people. With him were some blond girl and...a ninja. He couldn't wait to hear why these people were at Chase's place. Especially Spicer.

"Hey, Pandabubba!" the red head greeted. "Long, time, no see! So, Chase brought you into this now, huh?"

"That's enough, Jack," Chase interrupted before Pandabubba could ask any questions. "These three are also here to help me with my world conquest plans. I believe that you already know Jack. Why don't the rest of you introduce yourselves?"

"I am Tubbimura," the ninja said with a bow.

"The name's Katnappe," the girl said while examining her nails.

"I'm Pandabubba," he said with his own bow.

"Good. Now, I believe it's time I sent you on your first mission," Chase told his new servant.

"Already?" he asked. "Um, Master?" Chase had made it clear on how he wished to be addressed. He was regretting this already.

"Yes," the warrior answered. "In this exercise, I will test your skills, along with Jack's and Katnappe's."

"What do you mean?" Jack asked.

Chase conjured up an image of a large storage of titanium. "Since titanium is so durable, it is highly prized by the current Chinese government," he explained. "There is plenty of it stored in Hong Kong. Pandabubba, you, Tubbimura and Katnappe will work together in procuring it. Then, you and Jack shall work together and use it to make more machines. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master," they all replied.

Chase smirked. He loved hearing that. "Let's get to it, then."

A/N: Yeah, I have no idea if Pandabubba is in character or not. No wonder nobody ever writes about him. But I thought it would be a nice change for somebody to actually go to Chase first, for once.
