"Sim, a mãe, I'll be careful...Mãe, I've been much farther..."

"What is a mãe?" Omi whispered to Kimiko. They were out in the courtyard of the shrine, waiting for Raimundo to get done talking in the phone. They were spending a week in Brazil so Raimundo could see his family.

"It means 'mother'," Kimiko told Omi as she watched her boyfriend (gosh it felt good to call him that) run a hand through his brown mane and gibber on in Portuguese. "Rai's mom is probably telling him where to meet when we get to Brazil."

"Can we not just fly to his home on Dojo?" Omi questioned. "It would be much simpler."

"Dojo's sick, remember? We're taking a plane this time."

"Sim, we'll see you soon, Mãe," Rai was saying as he walked up to them. "Também te amo."

He hung up with a sigh and handed Kimiko her phone back.

"Ay yai yai! And I thought Omi could over think things!" he exclaimed.

"Mothers worry, Rai, it's their job." Kimiko said with a smile. "Are we all set then?"

"I think so, but, where's Clay?"

"Over here."

They turned to see Clay holding a rather large suitcase in his hand, much larger than Kimiko's even.

"What do you have in that, Clay?" Omi asked as the cowboy came up to them.

"Yeah, we're only gonna be a week," Raimundo reminded him.

"I know," Clay said with a grin. "It's some cookin' stuff. Can't go to Brazil and leave all my steak behind."

"I can," Rai teased. "You know us Brazilians have steak right?"

"Then they're just for snacks."

"Alright, young monk," M. Fung started as they laughed. "Be safe, and on your guard. I will take care of Dojo and keep an eye out for any Shen Gong Wu alerts."

"I can do it myself, you know," Dojo sniffled, slinking to the door with a handkerchief to his nose. "Just 'cause I can't breathe threw my nose doesn't mean I can't...can't..."

He sneezed into the Kleenex, reducing the cloth to ashes.

"Like I said, I'll keep an eye out for disturbances," M. Fung repeated. He smiled at Raimundo as the others grabbed their things and started towards the gate. "Give your mother my greetings, and send her my thanks."

"I will, M. Fung," Rai said with a bow.

He glanced back at the others to see that they were out of earshot.

"Let me know if you find the Sapphire Dragon and the other Wu," Rai said quietly. "I'll look around on my end too."

"I believe your earlier inference is correct," M. Fung said. "If so, we must be very careful. Spend time with your family. We will handle it here."

They bowed to each other, then Rai ran off to join the others. M. Fung stayed out until their cab came, then turned and went into the shrine, allowing Dojo to slither onto his sleeve.

"What're we going to do about Hannibal?" Dojo asked, sniffling. "It's not like we can walk up and ask for the Wu back...can we?"

"No, certainly not," M. Fung said. "Although, from personal experience, I fear Hannibal Bean is aware that we are on to him. The prophecy will be fulfilled soon."

"If it happens, can we use it to our advantage?"

"Perhaps, but with everything that's happened so far, it would appear as if this will only benefit the one whom the prophecy speaks of, and all who align themselves with him."

"Right...man...Chase is not gonna be happy about this..."

"What makes you think that, worm?"

Dojo shrieked and hid behind M. Fung's back as the monk turned to Chase Young. He had stepped out of the shadows of the corridor, his hands behind his back as he smirked at the Fung.

"And what could you want here, Chase," M. Fung asked calmly.

"I simply came to speak to Dashi," Chase answered, leisurely looking around the hall. "I hear that his ghost has been awakened. But after hearing you, my interest has peaked. What does the prophecy have to do with me?"

"It has something to do with everyone. Now, I must ask you to leave. You are not welcome here."

"Really? But Wuya said I would be surprised how much you would tell me if I asked nicely. Perhaps we should do this the old fashioned way."

M. Fung barely managed to block Chase's fist from hitting his face; he grabbed his wrist and threw Chase past him. Chase landed and lunged towards him, spinning and thrusting a side kick at him. Again Fung blocked the attack, twisted Chase's leg and tossed him away. The warrior rolled to his feet and scowled at the monk.

"You're holding back, old man," he snarled. "Don't you think I deserve more of your strength?"

"I don't need to exert myself because of one like you, Chase," Fung told him. "I have nothing to tell you, and once you've had your fill you will leave."

"You make me sound like a child, Fung. I am not one of your students."

He struck out again, and this time M. Fung bat his hand to the side and slammed the heel of his hand into Chase's nose. Chase flipped back and staggered, staring at the blood pooling in his palm.

"I am aware that you are not my student," M. Fung said. "I believe I would be much more merciful if you were."

"Merciful?" Chase laughed, shaking the blood from his hand. "You've landed one strike, don't-"

He didn't even see the next series of strikes M. Fung landed on him, but they all sent him sailing into a wall. He crashed through it before landing on his feet. He looked down and saw that he was standing in a ring of candles, then whipped around to see Dashi's ghost glaring at him. He sneered.

"I guess I did need to ask nicely," he joked. "Because I suddenly just got what I wanted."

"I think you need new dreams if all you want is a dead man," Dashi snarled.

"As the harbinger of this new interesting prophecy, and plenty others like it, it only makes sense for me request to see you."

He pulled out the Sphere of Yun and tossed it in the air. Dashi's eyes widened.

"And now, I believe you have stayed long enough in this closet," Chase said. "Time to move up in the world, Grand Master. Sphere of Yun!"

M. Fung appeared in time to see the Wu envelop Dashi's spirit.

"Chase!" he shouted, causing the warrior to turn and grin at him.

"Enjoy this new development, Fung," he taunted. "I know I will."

They disappeared before M. Fung could reach them.
