Grimm's New Leader – Chapter 6

The First Step

-x-

"You're all scared of silver eyes?" Chase Young couldn't help but repeat what the Ursa had told him, sounding more than a little surprise by what he had been told. It sounded absolutely ridiculous even by his standards, and Chase wasn't one to dismiss fairy tales or myth as fake stories, after all every story had to start from somewhere after all. He after all, had become one of those stories, told to little children at night to scare them to behaving, claiming that if they weren't, he would come and get them.

It amused him more than he'd honestly admit it did, but he knew because of that story, that myths and legends did have some degree of truth to them more often than not, whether the world wanted to believe it or not.

Yet when the Ursa told him that all Grimm feared those with silver eyes because they were part of a warrior race and had some supernatural power that could kill the Grimm with just a single glance at times, Chase Young had to admit that even he found that rather hard to believe.

The problem with his belief with this story, was the fact that the Ursa could tell him word for word just what the powers these silver-eyed warriors could do, and Chase Young was now having his doubts. The Grimm were soulless creatures that were lured towards negative emotions, the stronger the negativity the more Grimm that were drawn towards it, and everything time the negativity got stronger, the more of even the strongest Grimm were drawn towards that location.

So if someone had done something to horrify a crowd of people, then the sheer amount of negativity would draw even the most powerful of Grimm towards that location, giving Chase something to be concerned about.

If these silver-eyed warriors were so powerful, then that could mean that so many Grimm could end up being destroyed, especially if they ended up being drawn towards such a huge negative power source, like an entire stadium of horrified and angry people.

That in itself, gave Chase Young two more problems. If there was ever an incident that caused so many Grimm to be attracted to one spot, then Chase could honestly say he wasn't sure if he could even stop them from leaving him for that spot. He was annoyed that he honestly couldn't claim that he could stop them from abandoning him for a source that strong.

There was also the matter of the silver-eyed warriors themselves, Chase knew that if one ever appeared ever again, then he would either need to destroy them, or convince them to join his side so they could never attempt to destroy him and his army of Grimm. Yes, he knew that the Grimm themselves wouldn't be too happy with the idea, but the thought of a silver-eyed warrior, that was meant to be the one that would destroy the Grimm, actually working together with the Grimm was simply something that he couldn't refuse.

Perhaps he was thinking too hard about this, after all what was the chances that he would find one in Vale of all places, it wasn't like that was a huntsman or huntress with silver eyes was there? After all, what was the chances of that happening?

…

Perhaps he better search Remnant just in case. One could never be too careful after all.

It was time to prepare, and Clay Bailey was not one to admit it too often, but he was looking forward to seeing how this initiation went. He had ran into Velvet and her team the day before and had tried to get them to give hints as to what to expect, but they refused to budge on the subject, telling him that he had to learn about it the hard way, like they had done the year before.

Not that Clay was complaining too much, he had expected something like that. The person that was complaining about the entire situation was Omi.

"I don't want to be separated from my friends!" Omi was telling them, looking like he had seen someone kick his puppy. Clay, Raimundo and Kimiko smiled as they exchanged looks between each other, it was moments like this that they knew just important they were in the young monk's life. The three of them, Dojo, Chase Young and Jack Spicer were quite honestly the most consistent people after Master Fung had passed away when they were unable to get his Chi to him after they lost their freedom to Chase Young.

Omi had been the one that had taken the passing of his mentor the hardest, since the old monk had been considered a father figure to the young boy and had practically raised the boy when he was growing up. Between the three of them, they had helped Omi through his pain and ensured that he would become stronger for it, they knew that Master Fung wouldn't have wanted to see their friend moping over his death.

They were just thankful that he didn't end up confronting Chase about Master Fung's death, the less said about what Chase might have said to him, the better as far as they were concerned.

"Don't worry partner, we won't be separated. We'll make sure to find each other before any of the others do." Clay told his young friend, who looked up at him with a look of hope finding its way onto his features.

"Besides, someone's got to keep you out of trouble." Raimundo smirked at Omi, only for Kimiko to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Like I have to keep you out of trouble all of the time?" She couldn't stop herself from grinning when Raimundo glared half-heartedly at her.

"You're hardly one to talk." Raimundo grumbled, as he reached into his locker. He was still annoyed that he wasn't allowed carry his weapon with him at all time like he had done before. He pulled out a dark blue glass-like sword that had two jagged edges, it was called the Blade of the Nebula. "Need I remind you about your interactions with Weiss Schnee?"

Kimiko rolled her eyes as she pulled out a satchel bag from her locker, the bag itself had a golden motif of a bird. This was her weapon, Arrow Sparrow. Clay merely chuckled as he pulled out his weapon, a standard boomerang, with a gold-yellow colour and black stripe-like designs on it. This was his weapon, the Big Bang Meteorang.

"I'm just looking forward to taking part in this initiation!" Omi declared eagerly, as he pulled his weapon out of his locker. It was a very small cylindrical staff made of ice. It was light blue and could be held in one hand. This was Omi's weapon the Shimo Staff. "I'll show everyone that I am the greatest warrior that they'll ever see in battle!"

"Woah there little partner, no need to get ahead of yourself and make several enemies because you were too full of yourself." Clay grabbed hold of Omi's head and lifted him off the ground with ease. Omi frowned at his words, but couldn't deny the truth in them. He didn't need to make any more enemies than he already had, he already had Cardin as it was, and he'd rather not have more than at least one team causing him problems.

"So, how do you think they'll end up making the teams? They are teams of four from what Velvet told us." Kimiko asked, crossing her arms.

"If these guys are anything like I think they are, then I bet it has something to do with eye contact. The Fungmeister would have come up with something like that himself if he was in charge of the initiation." Raimundo pondered, drawing his fellow monks' attention.

"Hi guys!" Ruby's voice rang through the locker room, the Xiaolin Monks looked towards the young girl, who was waving at them happily. Kimiko's eyes lit up when she spotted the younger girl, quickly making her way towards the younger girl. Raimundo watched the interactions between the two girls with a small smile.

"This experience will be good for us." Raimundo, watching Kimiko, Ruby and the younger girl's sister, Yang interacting together excitedly.

"You're happy she's making friends that are girls..." Omi accused the Brazilian teenager, who merely rolled his eyes.

"Omi, we need to expand our social circles, it can't just be the four of us all the time." Raimundo told his short friend. "That, and you need to work on your slangs, they're still appalling."

"Oh please, like I need to work on that. Going through Beacon will be a piece of pie."

"Piece of cake Omi." Clay interrupted.

"That sounds most delicious."

"You just proved my point Omi." Raimundo sighed, rubbing his head in frustration. They watched Kimiko interacting with Ruby and Yang, before suddenly she pulled Ruby into a hug, declaring that she was the cutest thing that she had ever seen, claiming that she was everything she had wanted in a little sister. Raimundo and Clay had to hold back their laughter when Omi dashed over towards Kimiko.

"Wait! I thought that I was the cutest thing you'd ever seen." Omi asked, with puppy eyes in full effect.

"Sorry Omi, but Ruby's much cuter." Kimiko replied, ignoring how Ruby was trying to free herself from the hug, while Yang was trying to hold back her own laughter. Yang's eyes met the eyes of both Raimundo and Clay and spotted their own amusement at the situation.

"Let me go Kimiko! I want to get my sweetheart!" Ruby cried as she was tried to escape Kimiko's grasp and reach her locker. It was at this moment that Raimundo, Clay and Yang couldn't hold back their laughter anymore. Jaune who just happened to be walking by at that point, trying to find his locker, could only look at the group in confusion, he took a glance at Kimiko, Ruby and Omi, and simply decided that he wanted nothing to do with it.

"You!" Raimundo immediately stopped laughing when he spotted Weiss Schnee angrily making her way towards him, the fact that she was bringing another girl didn't help. She had red hair tied in a waist-length ponytail and green eyes. She was she was garbed in bronze looking armour and a battle skirt with boots.

"Howdy." Clay greeted them after he stopped laughing as well. He recognised the girl in white as Weiss Schnee, due to the numerous arguments that Kimiko had with her yesterday, and the fact that Raimundo blew up battle skirt up and got slapped for it. He honestly didn't know why the two girls just didn't get on, but as far as he was concerned, it really wasn't his problem.

"You're still upset about yesterday?" Raimundo asked cautiously.

"Of course I am! You abused your semblance to blow my skirt up! What if there were more people about?!" Weiss snapped angrily, her face red in both anger and embarrassment.

"Rai, try to be more respectable to the little lady, she did end up spending the day with Ruby and Kimiko after all." Clay told him, giving his friend a slight glare, while keeping an eye on the redhead who seemed to be giving Raimundo a glare.

Raimundo cringed, great, that's another girl he'd pissed off. He right now needed an excuse to get out of this mess.

"Raimundo! Please tell Kimiko that I'm cuter than Ruby! She has to be wrong! She has to be!" Omi interrupted suddenly, crocodile tears running down his face as he somehow managed to drag Ruby with him, despite her protests. They all stared at Omi awkwardly, not really too sure just what to say at this point. Raimundo wanted to know just how Omi managed to get Kimiko to let go of Ruby, who looked like she was about to burst into tears at this point.

"Let go of Ruby, little partner, I'm sure she wants to just get her weapon and prepare for the initiation at this point." Clay injected, breaking the awkward silence. "Omi, let go of Ruby, and Kimiko, don't you even try it." Omi quickly let go of Ruby, who quickly rushed to her locker to get her weapon, and Kimiko cringed slightly at Clay's tone. Her eyes did narrow slightly at the sight of Weiss however.

"Who's the girl's that with you Weiss?" Raimundo asked quickly, he wasn't going to listen to another argument between the two heiresses. Weiss however, looked stunned at his question, while the other girl, who had been previously glaring at Raimundo was now giving him a curious expression.

"Wait, you honestly don't know?" Weiss sounded almost appalled that they didn't know this girl's name, Raimundo and Clay both looked at each other and raised an eyebrow at the heiress.

"Should we?"

"Yes!" Weiss snapped.

"Well then, inform us, or would the lovely lady herself like to do the honours." The girl looked almost pleased by the fact that they didn't know.

"My name is Pyrrha Nikos." The redhead offered, to which both Raimundo and Clay nodded, Omi was looking at Jaune, who looked like he wanted to say something, but decided against it.

"Well, I'm Raimundo Pedrosa, this is Clay Bailey, the little guy there is Omi and the girl behind you is Kimiko Tohomiko." Raimundo introduced his team.

"I'm Jaune Arc!" Jaune quickly introduced himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all."

"In all seriousness, though. It doesn't matter who you are or you've achieved in the past, we'll all here at Beacon, learning to become Hunters of Remnant in order to protect our home from the Grimm and criminals alike." Raimundo remembered Omi being told something similar by Master Fung when he had first become a Xiaolin Monk. The youngest of the group had been the first one in training and had taken their addition as a shock of the worst kind, passing out in shock.

They still laughed about it to this day.

Suddenly, Raimundo thought of something. "Wait a minute, where's Dojo?"

-x-

Dojo was currently busy talking to Ozpin in the latter's office. Dojo had been looking for food and somehow found Ozpin himself, and before they knew it, they were deep in discussion about the Xiaolin Monks and the different type of Grimm there were out there.

"So, you're expecting the four of them to find other and be on the same team no matter what I try to do to separate them?" Ozpin questioned Dojo, who was helping himself to some of the tea that he had been offered.

"Yeah, no matter what you're try to do, they'll stick together like glue. They've already worked together for many years already, so breaking up the team would be pointless, they'd just find each other no matter what." Dojo answered, grabbing a cookie that had been in the Dining Hall.

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind."

-x-

Jack Spicer watched as Chameleon-Bot flew away in the form of a hawk, he had decided to put to use the cameras in the robot's eyes to get a feel of Beacon Academy so he could use the Golden Tiger Claws, a Shen Gong Wu that allowed the user to teleport anywhere in the world as long as they had a destination in mind.

By using Chameleon-Bot to scout out Beacon academy, he could find all of the places that he needed to and learn where the girl 'Red' stayed at the Academy. He was still pissed off by what she had done to him and his robots, because he was now getting unwanted questions about whether or not the robots could stand up to huntsmen or not from the criminal lords, to the point that even Junior was forced to ask questions.

Question the ability of his creations will they? Well he would show them, first the girl in red, then the Schnee Dust Company by attacking their heiress, then anyone else that got in his way. He just needed to find better materials that was all.

Suddenly his scroll went off. Jack quickly answered it. "Jack Spicer, Evil Boy Genius."

"Hey kid, it's Roman." Finally some decent company. "I've got a schematics for a superweapon, like a mechanical battlesuit, would you be able to make it for us?" Roman's question caused an evil smirk to appear on Jack's face.

"Roman, I'm more than capable of making this for you, but only if you provide the schematics of the superweapon, the materials and the money." Jack confirmed what he would be able to provide what the criminal mastermind was looking for. Of course he had to put in his own clauses, but he needed to protect himself somehow didn't he? He wasn't stupid enough to just believe that he wasn't in danger of being stabbed in the back by any of his partners. Speaking of partners, he needed to check up on Junior sooner or later.

"There is one more thing that I'm after, and it's not something that I'm too comfortable about asking you." Roman's voice sounded hesitant, as if he was truly regretting what he might be forced to ask. "I'm going to ask if you could join me in a meeting with my boss and some of my other associates."

Now this, Jack was concerned about. If he was led to believe that the woman in red, Cinder Fall, was Roman's boss in all of this, then he would have to be really cautious about her, especially since Roman himself seemed to be slightly afraid by the woman in question.

Yet this was the woman that Chase Young was looking for, if they could figure out what her plans was then it would be one less thing to worry about. Chase Young was interested in the power she had stolen from the other woman, and had wanted it for himself, so any chance of finding out more information about her, he would have to take.

"I'll be there." It wasn't like he could pass up this opportunity was it now?

-x-

Adam Taurus looked across the table from Chase Young with a frown. Chase was drinking more of his Lao Mang Lone Soup, something that he had been curious about ever since he had heard of it. Yet there was many questions that he had that he didn't have the answers to, one of those, he was about to ask.

"So, what is it that has drawn the Grimm to follow your leadership so easily? I can't imagine a human being able to tame them so easily." Adam couldn't help but ask. Chase looked up from his soup and his magazine, which had the title of 'Evil Housekeeping'.

"I must confess, I had been wondering when you'd finally ask the question." Chase smirked at Adam. "You are correct, I am not truly human anymore, but I'm not a Faunus either." Adam frowned in confusion, looking more puzzled by Chase's words than he had before.

"If you're not Human or Faunus then…" Though his mask covered them, Adam's eyes widen in shock at the sheer possibility that Chase Young had presented to him. "Are you… are you some kind of Grimm?!" Adam couldn't keep the shock out of his voice, despite his best efforts. The idea that a Grimm had gained the ability to transform into a humanoid being was frightening in itself, but also gain the ability to talk? The fear the mere thought would send Remnant into alone would cause chaos.

"I'm not a Grimm." Chase corrected Adam calmly, sipping more of his soup. "I'm merely a warrior who sold his soul for eternal youth." With that, Chase turned a page in his magazine for evil villains, enjoying an article about how to keep your former partners from causing you problems. So far he gone down at least two routes, sealing them away in another world and feeding them to another creature. There was still plenty of other methods that he had yet to try, he was just hoping that he wouldn't be forced to use them anytime soon.

"You sold your soul for eternal youth." The gears in Adam's mind were clearly working on just how Chase could have done such a thing, yet he couldn't find an answer, it was as though his mind had gone blank. His eyes suddenly stared at the soup that Chase was drinking from, realisation hit him. "Your soup."

"Correct. I sold my soul for eternal youth by taking this potion, the Loa Mang Lone Soup." Chase smirked as he looked at Adam. "Enough of my soup, do you have any problems with my plans for you and the White Fang?"

Adam looked at the new leader of the Grimm, going over the plans that they Chase had proposed in his mind. They were well thought out and used their abilities to the fullest, though there was just one thing that he needed to ask.

"What about Cinder Fall and her group? I can't see the woman taking our new partnership too well, especially after all the work she went through in order to gain our cooperation." Adam had to ask the question that had been bugging him for a while now. Chase smirked darkly at the Faunus.

"Well, my plans for Cinder and her group are…"

It was on the cliffs overlooking a forest that the Xiaolin Monks found themselves, waiting for the initiation to start. However, while they were waiting for Ozpin to start his speech, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay were glaring daggers into Cardin Winchester, who was sweating nervously at the sight of three other people trying to kill him with their eyes. It hadn't helped that Omi had shouted out who he was and what he had to his friends, getting the attention of everyone on the cliff, including Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch. If Cardin didn't know any better, then he would have sworn that Omi had pointed him out to his friends on purpose.

What he did hope was that they wouldn't try and hunt him down throughout the year, now that would be really unwanted. Though he didn't like the way that Professor Goodwitch was whispering to Professor Ozpin, while eyeing him up like he was something rather disgusting to look at.

The worst thing about the entire situation as far as Cardin was concerned, was the fact that pretty much everyone in the cliff was judging him for bullying a little kid. At this point Cardin just wished he could get this over with so he could move on.

"So, looking forward to showing Beacon what we can do?" Raimundo asked his team, who all nodded, looking forward to seeing how things would go. Ozpin took a sip from his coffee mug and addressed the group.

"For years you have trained to become warriors and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin started things off.

Glynda stepped in at this point, with scroll in hand. "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumours about the assignments of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… today."

The Xiaolin Monks looked at each other gleefully, knowing how they would do this already. It was just a matter of ensuring that they did things properly.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it will be in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ozpin lectured the group, standing in front of him. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

"I knew it! It's just like home!" Raimundo shouted excitedly, causing Clay, Kimiko and Omi to sigh, looking slightly embarrassed when everyone looked in their direction. It still didn't stop Ruby's world from being shattered right before her very eyes.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest." Ozpin continued, as if Raimundo hadn't just shouted out in excitement. "You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die."

"Didn't Master Fung used to say something similar to this all of the time?" Clay asked, getting a snort of amusement from Raimundo.

"Yeah, only it was more like 'the faith of the world rests on your shoulders, and if you fail, it will be 10,000 years of darkness' or something silly like that. It didn't stop us from having to fight darkness anyway, for or against it." Raimundo smirked.

"Good times." Kimiko sighed.

"I miss Master Fung." Omi looked down.

"We all do little dude." Raimundo looked thoughtful.

"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene." Ozpin looked down the line of students, ignoring Dojo suddenly appearing around his shoulders, even though Glynda and most of the looked surprised by the dragon's appearance. "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each path must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item as well as your standing and be graded appropriately. Are there any questions?"

"When did you find Dojo?" Raimundo asked bluntly, giving the dragon a stern look, who merely ignored him.

"I found him in the Dining Hall attempting to attack our cookie stash." Ozpin looked amused by the entire situation.

"Why would a stupid gecko be in the Dining Hall in the first place?" Cardin rudely asked, getting an angry glare from Dojo, and cringes from the Xiaolin Warriors.

"Gecko?!" Dojo snapped, getting surprised looks from most of the people then, as he jumped from Ozpin's shoulders, before he transformed right before they eyes into his 40 foot long dragon form. "Don't ever call me a gecko!" Dojo glared down at Cardin, who looked extremely nervous at the sight of him.

"Right, lesson learnt. Won't happen again." Cardin replied nervously, causing Dojo to change back to his smaller form and jumped back onto Ozpin's shoulders, ignoring the looks of shock from most of the people there.

"Any other questions?" Most of the hands went up. "That aren't about Dojo." All but Jaune's hand went down. "Good! Take your positions."

"Right, remember the plan we agreed on." Raimundo commanded from his team, only to get confused looks from the others.

"Rai, we didn't agree to a plan, remember?" Kimiko pointed out, ignoring how one person was sent flying into the forest. "We were too busy trying to figure out how the teams were going to be made."

"Even though I was right?"

"We didn't know that!"

"I still was though."

"… I'm not going to win with you, am I?"

"Nope."

"Great… so the plan?"

"We land in the highest branches like we did for our training that one time in Forever Falls." Raimundo announced the plan, getting deadpanned expressions from the rest of his team.

"That just sounds lazy."

"I know." Raimundo crotched down. "I'll see you soon!" Raimundo was suddenly launched in the air. "I CAN FLY!"

The rest of his team watched him fade away in the distance.

"Let's just get this team sorted out."

"Agreed."

"Yes.

The Xiaolin Monks were soon launched in the air, following Raimundo in his ascension. Dojo watched as everyone else followed, even as Jaune was sent flying through the air screaming as though he was caught completely off guard.

"Ah, it just feels like yesterday that I was looking after the kids for the first time." Dojo looked emotional. "Time moves on so fast!" Dojo burst into tears. It was so moving to witness such a beautiful moment once again.

-x-

Jack smirked as he watched on some new designs for his robot army, while he had Robo-Jack watch the monitors for Chameleon-Bot's progress on its journey towards Beacon Academy. Surprisingly enough, Chameleon-Bot seemed to have made good progress and was currently flying over the sea that separated Vale from Beacon and if things went their way, Chameleon-Bot should be at Beacon Academy by the end of the day at the very least.

It was a really good thing that Chameleon-Bot didn't have any emotion chips installed, or else it would be thinking about hunting down 'Red' as soon as it landed at the Academy.

Still, with other things to take up his time, Roman Torchwich had delivered the schematics for the mechanised battlesuit that had been developed by some of the greatest minds of Atlas in cooperation with Schnee Dust Company, the Atlesian Paladin-290.

Jack wasn't sure just how Roman had managed to get the schematics for the battlesuit, but quite honestly, he didn't care. The whole project that Roman had presented him with was exciting for the self-proclaimed 'Evil Boy Genius', to say the least. It was the most destruction creation that he had been commissioned for to date, and quite honestly, he was looking forward to seeing how much destruction and mayhem that the robots caused around Vale for the test subjects.

First things first, he had a call to make.

"Hey Chase! You would not believe the type of machines that the people in Remnant are willing to make just to show their power to the world!"

-x-

Raimundo leaned against a tree with his eyes closed, waiting for a familiar presence to make itself known to him. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and there standing before him was none other than his girlfriend, Kimiko. He looked to his right and spotted Omi and Clay making their way towards him. It had barely taken five minutes and already the Xiaolin Monks had been reunited in the Emerald Forest.

"Okay, so my plan didn't work at first, but at least we managed to stay together right?" Raimundo asked with a cocky smile, causing Kimiko to shake her head in amusement. She was used to Raimundo's antics by now so she didn't get as annoyed as she used to, but there was still times that she wished that Raimundo would not be so cocky all of the time.

Still, at least they were together again, as far as they were concerned, that was the most important part of the initiation. Now they just needed to get through the forest, find the relics and get back to the cliff, it was as simple as that. Directions being the thing that they needed now, they turned towards Clay, who had the best directions because of his earth powers being able to sense the relics that they were looking for.

He closed his eyes and felt the earth for an open space that would most likely contain the relics that they were looking for. He opened his eyes.

"I've got a feel for it, we should be there in no time if we push ourselves." Clay told the group, getting smiles from everyone else.

"I'm so glad that we've got you in our group dude, this makes the whole task so much easier." Raimundo complimented the Texan Cowboy, as he allowed the Xiaolin Dragon of the Earth to lead them to their destination.

"So… who do you think will be the leader?" Omi asked suddenly.

"Raimundo." Kimiko and Clay answered immediately, causing Omi to huff in annoyance as they made their way through Emerald Forest. Honestly, they were hoping something interesting happened soon or this would be one of the most boring missions that they'd ever had to do, even if it was only a school initiation.

What was the chances that they end up having nothing to do throughout the entire test?

-x-

So that's chapter 6 done.

A lot of thought has gone into this story, more than I normally put into most of my other stories to be completely honest with you.

If I have to be honest with you, I've still got low expectations for this story because of the crossover.

I do wonder if I should join the crowd of Naruto/RWBY crossovers, but change the main character.

I'm still enjoying writing this story more than any of my other ones, which says a lot.

Oh, and I'm also adding in a deleted scene that I considered putting into the script at one point, but decided against it.

It might be a bit dark, but I felt that it just didn't fit with the story. It's the part of the monks getting over Master Fung's death.

-x-

When Omi had confronted Chase about it tearfully, the Heylin Warrior had scoffed at first, but had offered small comforting words. He was however, heartless enough to tell him that Master Fung's death, while unwanted, was necessary for the young boy to grow stronger, telling him that it would serve as a reminder of what would happen if he was not only too weak to stop his enemy, but also too naïve to see the lies embedded within the truths.

When the other Xiaolin Monks had learnt of what Chase had said, they were far from pleased themselves, they had stormed into his throne room demanding the reasons for what he had said to Omi. He merely claimed that everyone had to grow up eventually, and even hinted that he saw a lot of himself in Omi, and despite his words, wanted to see Omi avoid making the same mistakes that he had. Mistakes that had cost him his friends and had driven him further into the darkness that in the end gave him the ambition to take over the world.

Chase had a way of caring, he just had a very bad way of showing it, having never truly needing to care for anyone anymore before he forced the Xiaolin Monks into giving him their eternal loyalty. That, and Chase Young was still an evil villain, an honourable villain who kept his word, but still an evil one.

-x-

Oh, and to the person asking about Cinder being killed off, trust me when I say this, there are worst things than death.

I'm going to be honest with you all now, I loved what happened in Volume 3, but season to date as far as I'm concerned.

I have plans for a lot of people in this story, I plan on making some changes sooner rather than later.

There will be some original content after the initiation the first day of class. I've been hinting at it for a while now.

Here's hoping that when I bring in some original stuff, that it helps the story's progression and doesn't hinder it.

Also, the stuff that happens in canon story will change, bringing in so many characters guarantees that.

Let me know what you think about this chapter, it'll be nice to get some feedback.

Until next time goodbye and goodnight.
