A/N: Sorry this took awhile, but I had school stuff to do...and I was lazy...ugh...goddamnit, Nappa.

Pandabubba, Katnappe, and Tubbimura stood outside a large building. It looked like any other storage building. But they knew that it held the titanium their master ordered them to retrieve.

They had traveled to it using the Golden Tiger Claws. Chase had gone...somewhere, saying that he would be watching them. They had to do this quickly and make sure they didn't get caught. And, of course, they had to exhibit excellent teamwork. They decided to make a quick game plan.

"I dismantled the security system, but I also got a layout of the building," Katnappe stated. "There are a bunch of hallways to go through, almost like a maze. The actual titanium is in the center. And there are guards stationed every few hallways."

"This seems a bit much for something as common as titanium," Pandabubba mused.

"There's also a bunch of gold and silver in there, too, but the titanium is our objective," she explained with a wave of her hand.

This caused Pandabubba to frown. There was precious metal in there and they couldn't even touch it? But he supposed he couldn't focus on that now. "It seems to me that the easiest course of action would be for Tubbimura and I to distract the guards while Katnappe gets to the titanium."

"Sounds good to me," she answered. "Tubbimura?"

"Yes, that sounds like an excellent plan," the ninja agreed.

"Alright, let's get to it!" Katnappe exclaimed. She was excited by the thought of stealing something after so long.

She quickly led them to the side of the building. Looking up, she was able to make out the opening of an air vent. Making use of her artificial claws, she used to to climb up the wall and into the vent.

After she disappeared, Pandabubba and Tubbimura went back to the building's entrance. They walked up to the door and simultaneously kicked it. Their combined strength was more than enough to knock it in. There was only one guard by the door, and Tubbimura easily knocked him out.

Since Katnappe had turned the alarms off, none of the other guards knew they were there yet. It was a simple task to find them all get them out of the way. They, of course, had weapons and good fighting skills, but they were still no match for the Heylin duo. Especially Tubbimua, who had been training under Chase.

It was the same every time. The guards would try shooting at them, but Pandabubba fortunately always carried a bullet proof shield with him. A crime boss could never be too careful, after all. Then they would try and fight them physically, which failed miserably. Pandabubba had to admit he was impressed at his partner's skill. Maybe Chase could teach him to fight like that.

It didn't take very long for them to reach the titanium. To their surprise, Katnappe was already there and had cracked the code on the door.

"Coming, boys?" she asked coyly.

They followed her into the room. The metal they were after was cut into bars and piled in a large stack in the middle of the room. The two men started to step toward it, but Katnappe stopped them. Reaching into her pocket, the blond girl pulled out what resembled a can of hairspray. She sprayed the substance in front of the bars, revealing the security lasers guarding their prize. They were the only thing she couldn't turn off, and she didn't want to alert any police to what they were doing.

"Hah, piece of cake," she scoffed.

Using her cat-like flexibility, she easily maneuvered through the intricately placed lasers. It was something she was far used to doing. When she felt like it, she used to steal precious gems. Sometimes she sold them, the rest she hoarded in her room. Hmm, she should really go get those sometime...

When she got to the titanium, she looked around for a switch that would turn off the lasers. She eventually discovered it on the floor, disguised as a crack in the linoleum. After they were deactivated, their master decided to reappear.

"Good work," he said with a smirk. "This was a simple mission, but you did it excellently." He pulled out the Golden Tiger Claws and opened a portal to his citadel. "Now, hurry and get this metal back home. I'm sure Jack is eager to build his robots again."

There had been a good deal of excitement in the Xiaolin temple as of late. The obvious cause of this was the return of the legendary Grandmaster Dashi.

It had actually been quite humorous when the centuries old man had arrived there. All of the monks had chosen that particular day to meditate in front of the temple. They had all been sitting with their eyes closed, but they opened them when they heard Dojo landing nearby. They all stood with bored expressions, ready to greet the Elemental Dragons-in-training. But their eyes widened in surprise when they saw who accompanied the young monks.

Of course, they had all seen pictures of Dashi in the ancient scrolls they studied, so the man was instantly recognized. But what if this was some sort of Heylin trick? They all went into a defensive position.

"Who are you?" one of them asked.

To their surprise, the man raised his hands up by his head and laughed. "Easy, guys. I come in peace!" he said, sounding amused.

"Everyone!" Omi announced excitedly. "This is none other than Grandmaster Dashi himself!"

The monks gasped looked to the other trainees for conformation.

"I reckon Omi is telling the truth," Clay said.

"Yeah, it's a long story," Raimundo added.

"I would know this man anywhere! This is my sweet Dashi!" Dojo cried. He pulled out a handkerchief. to blow his nose with. Seeing his old master again had caused him to become overcome with happiness.

"Easy, Dojo," Dashi said with a raised brow.

The older monks looked at each other with astonishment. Then they all dropped to their knees and bowed before the ancient warrior.

"We are not worthy of your presence, oh great Dashi!" they cried.

"No, no, please, you're far too kind!" Dashi laughed. "No, seriously, guys. Get up. You're embarrassing yourselves."

Master Fung, who had been watching from inside the temple, chose this moment to come outside. He walked up to Dashi and bowed at the waist. "Grandmaster Dashi, welcome back to the Xiaolin temple," he said humbly. "But may I ask how this can be? It was said that you disappeared many years ago."

"Like the loud mouth kid said, it's a long story," Dashi replied. "Why don't we go inside to talk? I could really go for some tea right about now."

"Of course, please follow me," Master Fung said. "I'm sure my students would like some as well. And the rest of you, get up already!"

For the next hour, they relaxed and exchanged stories. Dashi recanted how and why he decided to freeze himself, and the young monks told him about their respective pasts and powers. Omi was particularly eager to remind Dashi about the time he went back in time to obtain a box to imprison Wuya with. ("I thought you looked familiar," Dashi had replied.)

"So, judging by what happened in the cave, I'm guessing the Heylin side is growing stronger?" the man asked after finishing his fifth cup of tea.

"Yeah," Raimundo replied bitterly. "I don't get it. I thought they all hated each other! Why are they working together? It was so much easier to beat them when they worked alone."

"I think you just answered your own question, kid" Dashi replied. "They must have realized that teamwork will help them achieve their goals faster."

"I bet it was all that no good varmint Chase's doing," Clay accused. "He's more slippery than a greased hog at a fair."

Dashi had to laugh at that metaphor. "Yes, Chase was a formidable enemy when I froze myself, so I imagine that he's improved over the past fifteen hundred years. Who knows what might happen if he has help?"

"But is that not why you wanted to be in the future, Grandmaster?" Omi asked. "To help us defeat evil and bring good to the world?"

Dashi smiled and rubbed the boy's head. "Yeah, it is. In fact, I think I'll start helping you guys train from now on. That is, if Master Fung doesn't mind."

"Oh no," the old monk assured. "I'm sure that they can learn much from you."

"Great!" Dashi said. He then yawned and stood up. "I hope you guys have a place an old and tired Grandmaster can sleep."

"Oh, sure, Dashi!" Dojo said eagerly. "I have plenty of space in my room."

"Alright, little buddy, lead the way," he replied. Dojo began to lead him further into the temple."Hey, you got rid of that litter box, didn't you?"

"Young monks, perhaps you should retire for the night, as well," Master Fung said to his students. "I'm sure that you'll have much to do tomorrow."

"Oh, yes, Master Fung," Omi said. "We must be well prepared for anything."

They all began to walk back to their small rooms. Raimundo snuck a glance at Kimiko and noticed something odd. She had a completely blank look on her face and her blue eyes appeared to be glazed over.

"Hey, Kimiko, you okay, girl?" he asked, concerned for his friend.

When she didn't respond, he shook her lightly by her shoulder. She then blinked rapidly and shook her head back and forth, as if trying to wake herself up.

"Uh, Rai?" she asked, sounding groggy. She raised her hand to her forehead. "Wait, when did I get here?"

"What do you mean? What's the last thing you remember?" he demanded. Was something wrong with her?

"Um, I remember we were talking to Dashi," she murmured. "Did I fall asleep or something?"

"Not that I noticed," Raimundo answered. "Maybe you're just tired from the showdown. You should get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow, after all."

"Wait, what for?" she asked.

He sighed. He was going to have to do a better job with watching over his team.

"Oh, yeah, baby! Jack Spicer is back in business!" the redhead exclaimed. He was marveling at the vast amount of titanium that his fellows had brought back.

"I take it that you're pleased, Jack?" Chase asked with a smirk.

"Of course I am, Master!" he crowed. "I can make so many bots with this! And I've been redesigning my weapons like you told me to, so we'll have world domination within our grasp in no time!"

Everyone, except Pandabubba, had to smile a bit at that. Somehow, Jack's exuberance had become endearing instead of annoying.

"Now, Jack and Pandabubba have a good deal of work ahead of them, so let's leave them to it," Chase ordered.

"Actually, Master, I would like to stay and watch them work," Tubbimura suddenly requested.

Chase turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "Oh? Why the sudden interest? I was under the impression that you didn't care much for machines or things of that nature."

"I am most curious as to how Jack builds his robots," Tubbimura stated. "It has always been beyond my comprehension."

Chase shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. Just make sure you don't get in their way," he said with authority. He then left the room with Katnappe. She said that she wanted to show him a funny video or something like that.

"Jack, Pandabubba, you do not mind me observing you, do you?" he asked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine," Jack said impatiently. He was busy looking over some blueprints. "Hey, Pandabubba, what do you think about fire breathing ducks? You know, 'cute but deadly'?"

The mobster sighed. There was a part of him that was suspicious of the ninja and wanted to question him, but he would need all his energy to work with Jack Spicer.

Hannibal laughed as he replayed what he had seen through Tubbimura and Kimiko's eyes. Wuya had also given him the ability to get into their minds. He had turned the images into a hologram.

"It's good to see that yer magic's workin' again, Wuya," he drawled. "It sure makes spyin' mighty easy."

"Indeed," she agreed. "Now we know what both Chase and the monks are up to. I expected Jack to build more machines. What else is he good for? But Dashi training those brats? Unacceptable!"

"Now, now, sugar, I'm sure we can find a way to turn this in our favor," he soothed. "But fer now, we just have to watch and wait."
