Grimm's New Leader – Chapter 9

Fears

Weiss stared down at the piano in front of her, not sure why she was here again of all places. She was in her old room, where she had been forced to stay as she was trained to become the perfect Heiress for the Schnee Dust Company. She really didn't want to be here anymore, after having spent so long trying to escape from the clutches of her father in the first place. She could only imagine just how he was feeling right now.

"Wow, this place is even blander than my old playroom, and that really does say a lot." Weiss looked up sharply to find none other than Jack Spicer sitting on the piano, staring down at her with an evil grin. She reached for her weapon, only to find it missing. "Looking for this?" Jack waved Weiss' weapon, the Myrtenaster, in front of her carelessly. "In all seriousness though, this really reminds of me of my own upbringing, with the only difference being that my parents were never there."

"We're nothing alike." Weiss sneered at Jack, who shrugged.

"Well the only thing that we're alike in is the fact that we've got rich parents. My parents were always away after I become a teenager, I'm happy with their ultimate fates…" Jack's expression twisted angrily. "The mere idea that we could even relate to each other makes me sick beyond belief. Your family is absolutely disgusting to me."

"Excuse me?!" Weiss stood up sharply, truly offended by his comments. Jack merely laughed darkly, before he leaped off of the piano and started to run away, with Myrtenaster in hand. Weiss chased after the redhead, not knowing how he had managed to invade her dreams in the first place.

"I'm only looking for one small thing, but once I have it, I'll be on my way." Jack laughed evilly, before he realised that Weiss suddenly had her weapon in her hands, pointing it in his direction. "Wait a minute, how'd you get your weapon back?" Jack didn't look as terrified as he should have done, but Weiss wasn't going to care.

"My dream, my rules!" Weiss shot beams of ice towards Jack, who leaped out of the way, only to find the floor was now completely covered in ice. Jack surprised Weiss however, when he started skating on the ice as if he had been trained to do so all his life. Jack turned to Weiss and stuck his tongue out childishly, before he slammed face first into a door that had swung opened and collected him.

Weiss however, froze when she realised just what room that Jack Spicer had been dragged into. She shivered in sheer fright.

"Oh no…"

Yang knew as soon as she was in the forests that something was wrong. It felt far too familiar to her already, so when she watched her younger self pull a cart with a sleeping Ruby inside it, Yang Xiao-Long knew just what was going on.

"Stop!" Yang tried to stop her younger self, but went through her like she was nothing more than a ghost. Yang snarled angrily when she heard Jack Spicer's evil laugh. She spotted him standing in a nearby tree, laughing at her, mocking her for her past decisions. "Shut up!

"Wow Yang, is that really the best you come up with? Even Omi could come up with something better." Jack smirked, a sinister expression finding a way onto his features. "Since I'm here, I might as well see what you fear the most." Jack gestured to Yang's younger self, who was still pulling the little cart with a younger Ruby inside.

"See my fears? That's not possible!" Yang tried to deny, but Jack merely smirked evilly at her. Yang realised that somehow, someway, Jack Spicer had managed to enter her dreams and was now going to see her fears in her nightmares. "You're going to pay for this." Yang aimed her shotgun gauntlets at Jack, only to realise that he had already jumped away from his tree.

"Catch me if you can!" He flew through the air thanks to his Heli-bot and Yang rushed after him, attempting to stop him from causing too much damage to this dream that he had invaded.

She was however forced to stop when she realised where her younger self was now taking Ruby to the abandoned home, where her birth mother had once lived. What absolutely terrified her was the fact that Jack was escorting her younger self towards the hut, she knew what was behind the door and what Jack would unleash upon the children. Jack turned towards her and could only uttered five simple words.

"This is all your fault."

Jack opened the door, and Yang screamed.

Ruby Rose made her way to her mother's grave, it was Ruby's way to tell her mother how everything had gone and how to cope with her mother's death. Ruby wanted Summer to be proud of her and what she had become since her death. She couldn't wait to tell her mother about the new friends that she had made and how she was doing at Beacon, having been accepted two years early.

Ruby froze however, when she spotted Jack Spicer standing in front of her mother's grave, giving his respects to the dead woman that he could never have known. Yet despite everything, she didn't draw her weapon at the sight of the self-proclaimed 'Evil Boy Genius', she wanted to avoid fighting at the site of her mother's grave.

"What are you doing here?" Ruby called out to Jack, who merely turned to the younger teenager.

"I'm paying my respects to this woman, it's what you do at a grave, is it not?" Jack replied, looking solemn as he placed a bouquet of flowers down on Summer's grave. "I might be an evil boy genius, but I do happen to respect the dead. They deserve to rest peacefully for all of the deeds that they done, be it good or evil."

"Thank you." Jack merely nodded as he walked away from the grave and down the hill, pass the young girl. Jack paused as he looked back at Ruby, a pained expression finding its way onto his features.

"For what it's worth. I am so sorry." Jack jumped into the air and proceeded to fly off, leaving behind a confused Ruby, who didn't know what to make of Jack's words, not truly understanding what he meant. Ruby made her way to her mother's grave, and smiled gently.

"Hi mum, I'm back again." Ruby's look of content turned into one of horror when suddenly a hand reached out from under the earth, where her mother's body was buried. She took a step back in shock at what she was seeing. Suddenly, she understood Jack's words.

She could see Beacon Academy burning, the flames consuming the building, devouring everything in its path. Blake Belladonna couldn't keep the horrified look off of her face, for she knew that this was all her fault. The White Fang had followed her here and had attacked the school in an attempt to find her, burning everything in their path to do so. She that she shouldn't have stayed her, but she couldn't help herself, she had come to see Beacon Academy as her home, and her team as her family. Yet now, all because she was here, Beacon was burning and her team were nowhere to be found.

She could hear the footsteps of a human behind her and turned sharply to confront them, only to freeze when she realised that it was none other than Jack Spicer standing that stood before her. He had a look of disbelief.

"When I came into your dreams to see your fears, this wasn't what I was expecting." Jack frowned as he looked at the burning school before him. "Talk about depressing, even Ruby's fears weren't this dark."

"What do you mean 'Ruby's fears?' What did you do to her?!" Blake drew her weapon, the Gambol Shroud, to which Jack merely laughed evilly.

"What did I do to Ruby? I really think you should expand your question to 'What did I do to the entirety of Team RWBY?' Quite frankly, you're my last stop Blake Belladonna, and after everything that your team has done to me in the last few months, it's about time that I got my revenge." Jack pointed at Blake, his eyes widened briefly at something, but a cocky smirk took form over his features instead.

"What my team did to you? What did my team even do to you? I didn't even know who you were until you worked with Torchwich on attempted to rob that Dust store." Blake snarled viciously, as she got into a fighting stance.

"Now why would I be stupid enough to explain myself to you like that? Besides, you've already got enough problems as it is with this burning building, that we're inside and its structure is starting to fail." Jack activated his heli-bot and jumped in the air as he attempted to fly away. He did scream when Blake attempted to shoot him, only for the bullets to go through him like a ghost. Jack looked down at himself, before he started laughing evilly, pointing at Blake rather childishly as he did so.

It was times like this that Jack Spicer was so thankful that he had the Serpent's Tail in his possession. Blake was about to start shooting at Jack again, when a single sentence stopped her dead in her tracks, a sentence that sent shivers down her spine.

"Hello my love."

Four times all of Team RWBY wake up in the middle of the night because one of their members woke up screaming due to a nightmare, yet each time is was due to a different member having a nightmare. By the time that it was morning they were all extremely exhausted from a lack of sleep.

"I can't believe I had to deal with Jack Spicer and his annoying laughter in my dreams." Yang sighed in frustration, getting the attention of the rest of her team.

"You too?" Ruby, Blake and Weiss asked, only to turn to each other in surprise as well. Despite being tired as hell, Team RWBY all came to the same conclusion.

"Jack Spicer was able to invade our dreams?" Well that was a scary thought, but the question that they had left was this. Did that mean that Jack had been in their room to do such a thing, or did he have the ability to enter their dreams from a great distance?

"Why won't he just leave us alone?" Weiss complained. First the shapeshifting robot, that Ruby informed the team was called Chameleon-Bot, spying on them at night, now that had to deal with a creep invading their dreams, giving them nightmares as he caused their greatest fears to be revealed.

"He did mention something about getting revenge on everyone in the team, but I have no idea what was done to cause him to think that way." Blake confessed what he had told her in her nightmare, causing the other members of Team RWBY to give her confused expressions.

"Revenge? I've never even met him in my life!" Weiss pointed out in annoyance.

"I've never met him before, but I did fight one of his robots before, a Robo-Jack from what Clay told me." Yang confessed, awkwardly rubbing the back of her head.

"I met Team ROCK when I stopped Roman Torchwich's heist, where it was revealed the Jack was supplying him with robots for his attempted robbery." Ruby tried to ignore the gazes of her team.

"We all know that I threw Chameleon-Bot out of the window when I discovered what it really was." Blake reminded her teammates.

"So I'm getting targeted by association!" Weiss shouted angrily.

"No, he implied that we had all done something to him, so maybe it was the Schnee Dust Company that did something to him, not you directly." Blake told her.

"That makes it even worse! Just because I'm the heiress and that I'm going to one day take over the company, doesn't mean that I agree with everything it does!" Weiss huffed angrily, crossing her arms childishly.

"You still take pride of being a Schnee…" Blake pointed out bluntly, causing Weiss to glare at her.

"Just because I might not agree with everything it does, doesn't mean that I can't look at the position and look forward to it. If I can do anything that improve the company's reputation then I shall." Weiss replied in a haughty manner. Blake still glared at her tone however, not appreciating just how she had been spoken to by the person whose company had made the life of Faunus all the more difficult because it got them more money.

Ruby didn't know what to say to stop this little exchange between Blake and Weiss, her experience with people wasn't as good as she wanted it to be. Still, as the team leader she had to say something that stopped this getting any worse.

"Kimiko did tell us that we could talk to her if we needed information on Jack Spicer, so why don't we ask her and her team when we meet them for breakfast?" It was Yang that asked the question, drawing the attention of her teammates towards herself. "If Jack has the ability to enter our dreams, then wouldn't the team that has the most experience with him be able to tell us just how he managed to do so?"

"I did tell Raimundo about Chameleon-Bot's invasion and he told me the same thing." Ruby offered, feeling more confident thanks to her sister's interjection. Now they had a subject that could help them deal with this invasion of their privacy.

Now it was just about making sure that one they had the information that could be used to counter this ability of Spicer's, then they might be able to stop him from coming back on a consistent basis before it got too much for them all to handle.

Jaune might not have been the brightest person in the world, but even he knew that something had happened the night before when Teams RWBY, JNPR and ROCK met up the next morning. It was rather hard to miss when Team RWBY looked as though they had barely had any sleep the night before, with black bags under their eyes. Jaune had seen it numerous times in the past with his seven sisters, so he knew what he was looking for any just what was wrong.

What he didn't want to do was to bluntly point out the problem in case one of the members of Team RWBY lashed out at him, something that his sisters had done in the past when they lacked their beauty sleep. Lack of sleep made them more than a little irritated, and having seen how Weiss was more than willing to argue with Kimiko due to a stark contrast of personalities, he hated to see what she was like due to a lack of sleep.

Jaune quickly glanced at Pyrrha, and saw that she was feeling as concerned as he was about Team RWBY, he could see Kimiko and Raimundo of Team ROCK exchanging whispers, with Clay listening on silently, offering his own input to the quiet conversation when necessary. Omi was with Nora, who was introducing him to the glory of pancakes, while Ren tried to make sure that things didn't get out of hand between the two of them.

Jaune honestly felt as though there was a tension in the air, with Jaune wondering who would be the first to start the conversation that Jaune could feel would be incredibly awkward, especially with the way that Team RWBY were exchanging whispers of their own. Jaune wanted to be the one that broke the tension, but simply didn't have the courage to do so himself. He wanted to help out the team across the table, he wanted to at least do something that could help.

"Hey Ruby." Suddenly, Jaune found himself greeting the young leader, drawing the attention of her team. He could only hope what he said next wasn't going to be too stupid that would get feeling the wrath of Team RWBY. "Are you guys alright?" He was about to ask another question, trying to be cautious with his wording, when Nora suddenly interjected.

"You look like Ren after one of his all-nighters!" Nora wasn't so delicate in her wording, something that caused Ren to give her an annoyed look, though it could have been because of the all-nighter comment. Jaune put his head in his hands and sighed in annoyance, so much so subtlety. Pyrrha patted his shoulder sympathetically, understanding his intentions well enough.

"We're fine, just couldn't really sleep last night." Ruby did at least answer his question, even if she was doing so cautiously. The looks she was getting from Weiss was enough to concern her as it was.

"Do you want to talk about it?" It was Raimundo who asked the question, having finished his silent conversation with Kimiko. They knew just what had happened to Team RWBY, but they wanted to ensure that the all-girl team came to them first, instead of just barging their way into the problems with all of the solutions, not giving Team RWBY the chance to grow as a team and individuals.

The only question now was would they accept the help that would no doubt come their way? Weiss clearly didn't want to talk about it, but looked almost resigned by the idea that it was going to happen regardless, while Ruby looked almost certain that she was going to take it.

"Could we do it somewhere more… privately?" Blake was the one that answered the question. It also reminded teams JNPR and ROCK that they were still in the food hall, and that this probably wouldn't be the best place to discuss such matters. Honestly they wouldn't put it past someone to use the information to try and blackmail one of Team RWBY in order to get them to do favours.

You never knew just who could be listening.

Chase Young was taking a sip of his Loa Mang Lone soup when Jack Spicer called that morning, Adam Taurus happened to be eating with him when Jack called, but that didn't stop him from answering the call from the self-proclaimed 'Evil Boy Genius', as far as he knew Jack could have some useful information.

"What is it that you want, worm?" Chase did have to keep up his appearances however, though admittedly he wouldn't be surprised if Jack actually liked being verbally abused by him at this point. Jack probably thought that he was calling him a worm or insect out of fondness, rather than actually insulting him.

"I was just calling you to let you know that I managed to infiltrate Beacon Academy last night using the footage gathered by Chameleon-Bot the night before, though I only did it using the Golden Tiger Claws." Jack announced, though it didn't sound as impressive once he mentioned the Golden Tiger Claws, since the Shen Gong Wu allowed a user to instantly travel from one place to another as long as they the destination in mind.

If he had been able to do so without a Shen Gong Wu, he might have been slightly impressed.

"What exactly was your purpose for infiltrating Beacon Academy Spicer?" Chase really hoped that it wasn't for something stupid.

"I wanted to use the Shadow of Fear on Team RWBY, to invade their dreams and see their fears." Jack explained, causing Chase to sigh in disappointment.

"Please tell me that there was a good reason to do such a thing, I'd like to stay in a good mood for today." Chase frowned, expecting something extremely stupid to come out of Jack's mouth.

"Well, I wanted revenge on all of them. Revenge on Weiss Schnee because her father's company turned me down for a job role there because I told them that I wanted to work with Faunus for my projects."

"You did?" Adam spoke up for the first time, sounding somewhat surprised, drawing Jack's attention to him.

"I might be evil, but I'm not racist. I can see the benefits of having Faunus working with me when I try to create a new invention." Jack explained. "If not for the great vision you guys have in the dark, then to have an extra few hands working with me in case I miss something obvious to you guys. I'm not as experienced in the technology that uses Dust, and it never hurts to have someone with extra abilities to help."

Adam was left wondering about the advantages of sending some of his non-combat orientated men to help Jack Spicer with his numerous projects. On one hand it allowed them to insure that Jack wasn't planning to betray them for someone else, after all he was now known in the criminal underworld as a supplier of robotic armies, and Adam couldn't be blamed for feeling cautious over who some of Jack's clients might end up being. There was also the fact that someone might try to attack Jack or attempt to blackmail him to either snuff him out or force him into working for them for free. Chase had admitted that he had used Jack as a pawn for his plans on numerous occasions, so what stopped other people from doing the same thing?

"I'll have to think about it." Adam told Jack, who nodded. He knew that was probably the best that he was going to get out of the White Fang leader.

"Let's get back on topic. Was there other reasons that you used the Shadow of Fear on the members of Team RWBY?" Chase asked, wondering if he was asking for trouble with this question.

"Well, there was the fact that Yang Xiao Long severely damaged Robo-Jack while I was meeting Roman Torchwich to start my contract with him." Adam frowned at the mention of Roman Torchwich, his reputation of not only being a master thief, but also a racist were well-known. "If I can potentially use him to get closer to his boss Cinder, then I might be able to find out just what her plans actually are, but honestly I can't help but feel that he's in the dark just as much as we are."

"So he's useless to us then." Adam couldn't help but sound rather pleased by that idea, he made no secret of his desire to kill Torchwich after all, something that made even Chase wonder if he actually got pleasure out of killing humans, even if they hadn't done anything wrong. Roman was far from innocent, but that didn't mean that Chase wanted to deal with a random massacre on his hands because Adam couldn't control himself.

He didn't want a loose cannon that self-destructed simply because it couldn't help itself. Though now that Chase thought about it, that might have been what most of the White Fang actually was nowadays, a bunch of loose cannons that simply needed an excuse to be set off.

"Not yet, he's currently… taking me under his wing so to speak." Jack's response even got Chase's attention, not that he had been ignoring what he had been saying, but he had also been focusing on his meal. It was some really nice food.

"Torchwich is taking you under his wing." Chase honestly didn't know whether to be annoyed or amused, and normally he was annoyed by Spicer's idiocy.

"Yes and no… but we're doing good business, keeping things on target with ideas being exchanged each way. He's like a mentor that likes to annoy me." Well, Chase wasn't so interested anymore, but at least Spicer wasn't annoying him by acting like some fanboy again. He deserved praised for not killing him so long ago just for how much he annoyed him.

"There are two more people in this team Spicer, I'd rather my meal not become cold." That didn't stop Chase from helping himself to a cupcake however.

"Well Ruby Rose's interference was the reason that I exposed myself to the world as the person who created all of the robots that was supplied to Roman Torchwich." Jack didn't need to say anything more.

"Which I still say was your dumbest move to date, all because the Xiaolin Monks got involved and saved her." Chase frowned in annoyance. "You didn't even need to come out with your army of Jack-Bots, but you couldn't help yourself when they helped her."

"Right." Jack coughed awkwardly to one side, trying to hide his blushing cheeks as he was criticised by his evil hero. "The last person I used the Shadow of Fear on was Blake Belladonna and –"

"What did you just say?" Adam's voice became cold.

"I used the Shadow of Fear was Blake Belladonna?" Jack's replied, his sudden nervousness making his response sound more like a question than an answer.

"If you weren't willing to have Faunus help you with your projects, I'd find a way to kill you, here and now." Adam's voice took an angry tone. "Blake Belladonna is mine, and mine alone. The only one who can make her suffer is me." Just thinking about his former partner upset him, but to hear that this human had practically tortured her was enough to enrage him.

Jack looked at Adam with a horrified expression. "You're really messed up." Seeing him get this upset over not being the one that got payback on Blake first suddenly made so much sense why he saw Adam in her greatest fear. She must have realised just what kind of monster he was turning into and simply couldn't take it anymore. Honestly, it made Jack wonder just what kind of a person Adam was before his let his anger and rage consume him.

"Is that all you called about, Spicer?" Chase asked, looking at a magazine about evil housekeeping, wondering what kind of tips he's find today in the latest edition that he was given for free, a gift for becoming the ruler of his world.

"For most part." Jack admitted.

"Then get out of my sight, and don't go back for a few days, no doubt the Xiaolin Monks will realise just what has happened and will have made sure to create counters for when you do attempt to go back and attack other trainees." Chase warned Jack, who merely nodded before he ended the call. Chase sighed in annoyance. "Adam, be sure to get some of your colleagues who have the skills to help Spicer in his efforts, hopefully this will be a good experience for them."

"I shall." Adam got up stiffly, and stormed towards the door.

"Oh and Adam." Chase called out to the Faunus, who paused. "Try not to kill the worm, he does have the best interest of Faunus in mind, despite his idiocy."

"I'll keep that in mind." Adam frowned furiously, before he left the room, slamming the door behind him, leaving Chase alone with his meal. Chase took a sip of his tea, and cringed.

It had gone cold.

When Blake had been wanting to discuss what Jack Spicer had done the night before, she hadn't expected that they'd go back to Team RWBY's room first, nor did she expect the fact that they'd be bringing Dojo with them for him to start sniffing the room of all things.

"So can you smell it, Dojo?" Yet, this was what was happening, before her very eyes. If she hadn't seen Dojo transform into a fire-breathing dragon of all things, then perhaps she's be a bit more hesitate about the entire situation. It took a lot of convincing for Weiss to be persuaded to allow this to happen though, so perhaps she should be concerned by how easily Ruby and Yang were convinced for this to happen.

"Yeah, I got a scent, Jack was here last night, and used at least three separate Shen Gong Wu, while bringing one more with him." Dojo confirmed what Team ROCK had expected, not only did it tell them just what Jack had done, but it also how he had managed to invade Team RWBY's privacy.

It didn't take much to recognise that the Shadow of Fear had been used on Team RWBY. Jack Spicer had used the Shen Gong Wu on them in the past as well, though there was still one ability that this particularly Sheng Gong Wu had left in its arsenal that Jack hadn't yet used on Team RWBY.

This Shen Gong Wu could bring their greatest fears to life. It was something that had been used on the Xiaolin Monks in the past as well, so they knew just how bad it was to experience having someone invade their dreams and turn them into a nightmare. Now Raimundo had to explain to Team RWBY just what they had experience and how it was even able to happen in the first place.

Raimundo could just picture this explanation going down so badly that it actually hurt just thinking about it.

"What are you guys talking about?" Yang was the one who asked the question that everyone on Team RWBY and JNPR had been wanting to ask when the term Shen Gong Wu got brought up.

"What Jack did to you, we have a good idea of what he did. After all, we've been a victim of it in the past ourselves." Kimiko declared, looking uncomfortable just from remembering it. There was also one more thing that needed to be considered that would make it worse this time around.

The greatest fears of Team ROCK had changed over the last couple of years under Chase Young's thumb.

"What are you even talking about? Start making sense!" Yang however, was losing her patience with Raimundo and Kimiko.

"He used an item called the Shadow of Fear on you to enter your dreams last night." Raimundo explained bluntly, getting perplexed looks from Team JNPR, and horrified looks from Weiss and Yang. Blake looked almost resigned to the fact that it had actually happened, while Ruby looked somewhat uncomfortable.

"You mean that he was actually inside my head thanks to some kind of object?!" Yang sounded mortified, while Weiss looked ready to explode in rage. They knew that he had managed to do it by some kind of method, but to think it was an object that anybody could get their hands on was more than a little concerning.

"Yeah, that's how he knew where to go and find your greatest fears." Raimundo explained to them.

"What exactly is this… Shadow of Fear that you mentioned?" Weiss asked cautiously, not sure if she really wanted to know herself for the sake of her sanity.

"The Shadow of Fear is a Shen Gong Wu." Dojo suddenly started to explain. "Shen Gong Wu are powerful mystical objects that have several different abilities, one of which is the Shadow of Fear and its ability to allow the user to see another person's worst fear, by entering their dreams."

"You said objects, like in the plural kind of sense." Jaune asked, looking somewhat nervous. "Just how many of these things are there?"

"Hundreds."

"Say what?!"

"Not important right now."

"What do you mean not important?!" Jaune sounded upset. "You're telling us that Jack has used one of these objects on Team RWBY and the fact that there are more than one of these objects is not considered important? What's stopping Jack from using these objects on the other teams here? What's stopping Jack from using these objects on the general public?"

That got everyone's attention. What exactly was stopping Jack from using the Shen Gong Wu on the people of Remnant? If he was willing to use something like the Shadow of Fear on Team RWBY, then why wouldn't he be willing to use other Shen Gong Wu on everyone else? However, it was Ren that came to a conclusion.

"You mentioned that he had at least four of these Shen Gong Wu, does that mean that these Shen Gong Wu all have different abilities?" Ren was able to analyse the information that he had been presented with to come to a conclusion that made sense.

"That's right, no Shen Gong Wu holds the same ability." It was Clay that answered the question, looking grim.

"The Shen Gong Wu Jack brought with him were the Shadow of Fear, the Golden Tiger Claws, the Serpent's Tail and the Shroud of Shadows." Dojo informed them, getting a look of recollection from both Yang and Ruby.

"Jack's robot used the Shroud of Shadows when I was fighting him to turn invisible." Yang recalled suddenly, drawing looks from Blake and Weiss.

"Jack shouted out Serpent's Tail and was suddenly ghost-like, is that what the Shen Gong Wu does?" Ruby asked Kimiko, who nodded in response. Blake had a look of realisation as well, realising that might have been why her bullets might not have hit Spicer in the dream that he invaded.

"You mentioned the Golden Tiger Claws, but you haven't told us what it does." Pyrrha interjected suddenly.

"The Golden Tiger Claws are a particularly annoying Shen Gong Wu, for they allow you to teleport from one place to another as long as you have the exact location in mind." Omi answered this question. "It would also explain how Jack got into your room without anyone noticing."

"Wait, you said that he had the have the exact location in mind to actually get into our room." Blake came to a realisation. "Does that mean that the Chameleon-Bot has some sort of camera that allows him to see what that shape-shifting robot does?"

"It does, I've seen the screens from Chameleon-Bot's eyes before, so I should know from experience just what it can do." Kimiko confirmed Blake's worst fears, drawing everyone's attention to Yang, who was looking a little sheepish about what she may had accidentally done.

"I already said I was sorry." Raimundo frowned when suddenly he noticed something that stood out, something that he recognised after having seen Jack's arsenal he had developed over the years. It was so subtle that you wouldn't even know that it was there unless you knew exactly what you were looking for.

A listening device, something Jack had shown off to Chase Young a few years ago, not long after the Xiaolin Monks had been forced into the service of the evil villain. The fact that Jack had bragged about the fact that he would be able to listen in on any conversation as long as his listening device was in the room was enough to give Raimundo an idea.

"Does anyone have the power to produce electricity?" Raimundo suddenly asked, getting an excited look from Nora.

"I do!" Nora sounded so excited that Raimundo couldn't help but grin.

"Have fun." Raimundo suddenly grabbed the listening device and threw it to Nora, who promptly channelled electrical energy into the device, causing it to explode in a shower of sparks, which she absorbed comfortably.

-x-

In his base Jack screamed in agony as his earphones screeched out loudly as electrical energy invaded their systems. He quickly tore out the earphones, which suddenly exploded in a shower of sparks. Jack looked at the destroyed earphones with a horrified expression, wondering just what had caused that to happen.

"Now how am I going to prepare for a second run?" Jack asked himself out loud, only to suddenly feel confused by the lack of noise that his voice was making. Suddenly he clapped, once, twice, three times only to realise just what had happened.

He couldn't hear anything, the horror that he was feeling was just unbelievable. So much of his work depended on his hearing, so to have suddenly lost that was just unbearable to say the least.

"GOD DANG YOU, RAIMUNDO!" Jack didn't know why he had the feeling, but he just knew that this was somehow Raimundo's fault. Now he had to rely on Robo-Jack of all people to try and get the orders in and that was not comforting at all.

He just hoped that his hearing didn't take too long to return to him.

So that's another chapter finished.

This chapter took longer than expected to write up, but thankfully I do have a layout for at least the first season worth of content.

As I was writing this chapter I couldn't help but think to myself, wouldn't there be some kind of security against people like Jack Spicer invading Beacon as often as he might end up doing. Especially if the next encounter is to happen, so I feel like I need to work on that before writing that out. This isn't Xiaolin Showdown where he assaults the Xiaolin Temple with no repercussions, this is Beacon Academy, somewhere where if he gets caught there, he most likely won't be able to do his evil schemes.

The scene at the end is honestly just an excuse to stall for time, and a comedic scene to add to what might be a somewhat boring chapter.

I know who will be in the first Xiaolin Showdown and who will win it, but I'm just struggling to think of a way that allows it to make sense for it to actually happen. Hell, you could almost say that I don't know where it will even happen yet, which is rather appalling wouldn't you say?

Though I must apologise for taking so long with the chapter, for my indecision wasn't the only reason I took longer than I do to write this chapter up. I've not started to dabble in voice acting of all things, lending my voice for various projects that might come out soon.

Anyway, enough about me and my excuses, I'm looking forward to getting another chapter out soon, though I don't know how soon it will be out. Hope I don't take as long as I did with this chapter though.

I just hope that you like it honestly.

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

Until next time goodbye and goodnight.
