Ever since he saw the future in the crystal glasses a couple of days ago, Jack hasn't been himself. He wasn't focused, he couldn't sleep or eat, he barely made any progress in training… the monks were worried for him.
Sitting on the stairs with palms on his mouth Jack thought about what he saw in the crystal glasses. Every single detail until he took them off. It couldn't be could it? But the glasses show the future. The only time when it happened otherwise was when Omi got tricked with the reversing mirror, and this time no one had that thing near him.
He swallowed dry and wiped his forehead from sweat. He was so sure he had changed. Whatever could tempt him this time?! Would Hannibal offer him something in return or what?
His thoughts were interrupted by a sinister but very familiar voice, ''Spicer…'', Jack paled, he looked around but saw no one. Looking up at a tree he saw that bird. That evil bird which had the same glare as years ago. Jack swallowed again and right before he could open his mouth, his voice echoed again, ''Don't bother calling them.''. It made him shiver, especially because he didn't saw where he was. He looked behind him, and seeing that no one was there he exited the temple grounds, the bird flew away the moment he stepped toward it.
Jack followed the bird and observed how unusually quiet the forest was. It was unnerving. Obviously, Hannibal wanted them to talk alone, even his mere presence scared everything in his path. How did he not observe this when he was younger?
The bird finally landed on a tree and starred down at him. Jack on the other hand sweatdropped and looked around anxiously. ''Where are you looking? I'm over here.'', He gasped and turned around, to see the one and only Hannibal Roy Bean, to his big size as he had his moby morpher on those roots he calls arms, and the same sly grin with rotten yellow teeth he always wore on his stupid bean face. To be honest, he always looked more like a potato than a bean to him.
Jack berated himself internally, now it was not the time to make jokes, his heart was beating so strong that it hurt his chest. Why was he so scared out of a sudden? Pah, when wasn't he scared? Maybe because Hannibal could kill him with a sneeze? Maybe that's why he came here. Since he is a xiaolin now and the new element, Wuya herself said she would kill him. But then again, what did the crystal glasses show him? Maybe he wasn't here to kill him after all.
''What's wrong my boy? You look like you've seen a ghost. I thought you'd be thrilled to see me.'', Jack bit his tongue as he frowned. It was itching to say something smart that would get him into trouble and he knew better. ''What do you want? Are you here to kill me?'', Roy gasped in fake shock, ''Oh my, but how could I ever?'', he wrapped a root around his shoulders and pulled him close. The goth cringed and tensed while grunting, ''After all, you never did anything but help me.'', Jack twisted around in the opposite direction of Bean's arm and backed away until his back hit a tree, for the first time in his life, keeping his fists clenched and ready to punch. ''Oh don't tell me you've actually sided with them? I expected you to steal all of their wu and run away the first night you arrived at the temple. Laugh in their faces and call them... how do you call them? Xiaolin losers was it?'', ''They're my friends.'', argued Jack angrily, nobody gets to insult them besides himself, ''And your first enemies.'', laughed Hannibal, ''You say you gave up but here you are, only that you are confused now dear boy.'', ah not this shit again.
''I am here because-'', ''Keep it for yourself Hannibal. I don't want to talk to you, and I certainly don't wanna see you.'', Jack said walking past him. ''Are you able to summon your element yet?'', Jack stopped, ''How long has it been since you came to the temple?'', he clenched his fists, ''You trained daily and still not even a spark. They don't really know how to teach you.''.
Jack ran and jumped, putting all of his weight into his fist and punched down hard, but instead of hitting the face like how he wanted, he was grabbed by those roots and slammed onto the ground, the air got knocked outta him and he erupted in a fit of harsh coughs. ''They really don't know how to teach you.'', Jack swallowed and cleaned his throat in one nasty sound, then looked up to see a root, as if Roy was offering to help him up, he backed away and starred up at him. ''I on the other hand can teach you better. You will summon your element in no time. You will fight better than Chase Young himself. And with you by my side, we can rule the world.'', the goth glared at him ''I gave up on the world domination dream long ago.''.
Bean rised a brow amused ''One cannot give up on something they wanted their whole life. Think about it Jack. Sooner or later you will turn your back on them again. It's in your nature. Evil is in your nature. You think you can change over night because they asked you nicely?'', Jack made a face and looked down, it was true. No need to deny it, he did give up on his dream to be ruler of the world, but he still thought about it some nights from time to time. ''You know what I like about you Jack?'', The goth was suddenly hoisted up on his feet and was face to face with the evil vegetable, ''You never betrayed me. That's why I'm offering you the chance to be my apprentice instead of slitting your throat right here and now.''.
Jack furrowed his brow, swallowing dry, staring at Roy unerved, terrified, suddenly realizing just how alone he was right now. He looked down at his hand which was wrapped with that root as if in a hand shake, he could feel it getting numb, painfully so, from how tight Roy was holding him. He quickly snatched it back and turned around, holding it. Bean chuckled evilly, ''Think about it.'', when he turned around Bean was gone, and so was the bird.
He started to tremble. Shakily he forced his legs to move in the direction of the temple. When he arrived, Kimiko was there, arms crossed and a mean glare in her eyes. Dude, she was mad. ''Where have you been? I've been looking for you for half an hour!'', Should he tell her? How could he? What would he say? Hey Kym, I saw my future, Imma betray you all for Hannibal, who showed up with an offer just earlier. How could he tell her something like this?
He didn't realised he stopped in his tracks until warm hands touched his arms. His hearing barely came back to normal and he saw Kimiko's blue eyes staring at him, not with anger anymore but with worry. ''Why are you shaking? Are you okay? What happened?'', His mouth opened and closed, but then he shook his head and hugged her tightly. ''Uuuuuh...'', No doubt this was awkward for her, she most likely would have punched him off if she didn't see the state he was in.
How could he do this to them? He could try to change the future but he wasn't sure if he could. Damn it, they were his first friends, they offered him a second chance, they trust him! Why did those stupid glasses show him that?!
He quickle released her and shook his head again, looking away, ''Jack... Jack! Are you crying?'', she asked even more worried than before, ''No.'', he sniffed, and wiped his eyes, he cleared his throat, ''Sorry, just feeling a little nauseous. Let's go back inside.'', he said, walking past her. ''Wait'', She grabbed his arm, ''If something's wrong, you should tell me. Or if you're not comfortable with me, then talk to the others.'', ''I-I'm fine.'', ''You have to work on your trust in us, you know?'', ''I said I'm fine.'', He said a little louder this time and went inside the temple.
Kimiko frowned and went to look after Clay, the big guy was good in convincing people to say what upsets them.
The moment he came into the room where they usually rest, he saw Omi and Raimundo. And outta nowhere, Omi asked Raimundo ''Raimundo, how are your birds and bees doing? What does it even mean actually?''.
Suddenly, Jack forgot all of his worries, and laughed. Hard. He laughed so hard that tears were blurring his sight. He was pretty sure that the entire China could hear him. He kinda felt sorry for scaring the little animals. He was slapping the wooden floor as he laughed and once again he was glad that he had waterproof makeup.
''What is going on here?'', Kimiko asked coming into the room, ''Sounds like a dying hyena.'', Clay stated, ''Uuh, Jack is having a moment.'', Raimundo pointed at Jack, who all of a sudden took one loud deep breath and yelled ''I'M DYING!'', and continued laughing.
''How can you die Jack? You have no injuries'', Omi asked slightly panicked, and that made Jack lose his shit, ''BURRY ME UNDER THAT TREE OUTSIDE! I REALLY LIKE IT THERE!'', and he took in a deep breath again and screamed and started laughing even harder. Boy, he needed that laugh after the days he had.
Raimundo was hiding his face in his palms as he explained the situation, and the other 2 xiaolins snorted and covered their mouths. Omi looked around and said ''I don't understand, what is so funny?''.
Finally calming down, Jack sniffed, swallowed, grabbed a table and leaned on it as if his life depended on it, then started coughing from how hard he laughed.
''He never got the talk did he?'', He finally asked, ''No.'', the others answered, ''Raimundo, you tell him.'', Kimiko slapped Rai's arm, ''What? Why me?!'', ''OH HECK NO!'', Jack screamed and covered Omi's ears, ''You will abuse his innocency!'', ''He already heard you cursing like a sailor most of the time, what's the big deal with this?'', Kimiko asked ''You will traumatize him! Also, Omi, under no circumstances you are ever allowed to say any bad language words, you hear me?'', he said, looking down at the water dragon.
''Can you guys stop arguing? We have a wu allert!'' Dojo said as he came in the room. ''Party pooper.'', Jack muttered, ''Dojo does not poop at parties for what I know.'', Omi said and that was a mistake because Jack started laughing his ass off once again and harder than before.
As they all went down to take their wus, Jack and Clay were the last to climb up the stairs. Clay grabbed Jack's shoulder and asked ''Are ya alright pardner? Kimiko told me you've been feeling bad.'', the goth swallowed the lump in his throat and smiled ''Sure thing, I just... uh, got a stomach ache. Yeah, stomach ache, that's all, no need to worry, heha! I am feeling a lot better now after the laughing fit I've just had. Best laugh of my entire life, I swear. No wonder why they say laughter is the best medicine.'', he said as they got out of the temple and climbed Dojo's back. ''You know, if something bothers you, or if you need to talk to someone, you can tell us.'', the red head merely nodded and grabbed the dragon's scales.
It took an hour of flight, Jack did not feel sick anymore but that's because his mind was elsewhere. Hannibal was right, he could not change, he made his decision. He has chosen his side.
''What sort of wu is that?'', Asked Raimundo as he looked at the scroll Omi was holding. Kimiko turned around to see as Jack and Clay looked over the wind dragon's shoulder.
Jack barely heard a word they said, ''Jack? You've been unused of quietly. Are you alright?'', ''...Huh?'', he finally snapped out of it and observed that Dojo was preparing to land, ''It's 'unusually quiet' Omi.'', Raimundo corrected, receiving a ''That too!'', from Omi.
''There it is!'', That was from Kimiko, who pointed at a shiny object. What the fuck was that? He should of payed more attention.
''Finally, let's go and take it. I can't wait to play Goo Zombies 7.'', The main elements walked forward until they heard a laugh. All looked up alarmed to see a bird flying above them. From it a bean jumped and yelled ''Moby Morpher!'', and there appeared the ugly face of the bigger version of Hannibal Roy Bean.
''Hannibal! If you seek a battle, then you found one! Prepare yourself for a humiliating defeat!'', Omi shouted in his fighting stance, ''I hate to ruin your hopes Omi but I do not think so!'', Hannibal shouted as he jumped and slammed his roots down, forcing the monks to dodge and get away. ''Seems like we gotta teach you a lesson, again.'', Kimiko snapped and ran towards the enemy, ''Judulette flip FIRE!'', she jumped and formed a ring of fire with her legs, then she threw it towards Bean who dodged, the flames left the ground scorched.
Hannibal laughed and hit her in the stomach, throwing her away, Raimundo caught her and next Omi and Clay ran towards Roy, ''Big Bang Meteorang!'', ''Shimo Staff!''.
Jack watched as the monks fought with Hannibal, and that's when he pulled something out of his pocket.
Hannibal threw Raimundo onto Clay and punched Omi forcing him to land on his friends. They got up slowly, ''Seems like we need to do the formation.'', Raimundo said and the rest nodded.
They all took the pose ''Wudai Orion Formation!'', but right before they could attack, they heard Jack, ''Sphere of Yun!'', and they were all locked inside the glass sphere. They fell down and looked at a grinning Jack who walked past them. ''Jack! What do you think you're doing?'', Shouted Kimiko, ''Let us free!'', Raimundo yelled.
Jack laughed and looked at them ''You losers. Did you really think that I'd want to become a monk?'', he laughed again, ''You guys are so easy to fool!''. At that they looked at him shocked. ''What are you talking about there?'', Clay asked, glaring daggers at him, Jack rolled his eyes ''Oh c'mon. I never wanted to have anything to do with you, I may have came back after I've given up, but that's only because I wanted to see if I can actually summon lightnings. But I would never waste my time with you. Now I can become an apprentice.'', Jack looked at Hannibal with a grin, Hannibal returned the smirk. ''A heylin apprentice.'', ''Jack! What are you saying?! I thought you truly changed!'', Omi shouted, looking at Jack with heartbroken eyes. Everyone was looking at him with anger, feeling betrayed.
Jack smirked and laughed ''You are too trustfull, Cheese ball!'', he turned around, ''All of you are.'', and he walked towards Hannibal. Omi trembled, his eyes became teary, he always tried to see the good in Jack, and always ended up being back stabbed. He finally thought that the goth became good, but Jack lied to them the whole time, lied to him, again. And that's when he snapped, he punched the glass and screamed ''I hate you Jack! I hate you! You're a liar! Do you hear me?! A LIAR!'', as he walked Jack's eyes twitched, but he inhaled and kept going forward.
Finally, as he came in front of Bean, he asked ''So you say you can teach me. Is the offer still up?'', Roy chuckled and said ''I knew you'd choose the correct side.'', and he extended his root like hand, Jack smirked and took it. But he didn't let go. In an instant Hannibal felt that something was up, and Jack's smirk fell, a fierce glare taking its place on his face. With his free hand he took a wu and quickly slammed it onto Bean's chest.
''Eye of Dashi. Wudai Venus LIGHTNING!'', And then a multitude of lightnings errupted from the wu, with them Hannibal's screams. The lightnings were tremendous, bigger and brighter than the eye had ever shot before. Jack felt some sort of electric energy running down his spine and the strength of the lightnings are causing both him and Hannibal to lose their ground, his hair was being blown back and the light was so blinding that the monks had to cover their eyes.
Jack roared and pressed the wu even harder against Roy's chest and forced it to stay there even though his arm was burning. Finally the light and lightnings became so powerful that the monks couldn't see anymore, a loud explosion was heard soon after they closed their eyes. Soon the air had cleared and the monks could look at what happened. In the distance they saw the bird of heylin flying away, everywhere was just smoke.
''My God.'', Kimiko muttered, ''Do you think Jack is okay?'', Raimundo asked worried, ''I sure hope so pardner.'', Clay answered just as worried, ''Do you guys understand what Jack just did?!'', Kimiko asked them.
As he stared out the sphere, and after he saw no sight of Jack, Omi shouted ''Jack! Jack where are you?! Are you okay?! Guys, we gotta get out of here!'', they started punching and kicking the glass but none of them could do any damage.
Still, they continued, not giving up, until Kimiko saw something, ''Stop it!'', she exclaimed.
They all did. That's when the glass broke. As they got out confused, Kimiko picked up something off the ground and the boys looked over her shoulders to see a very tiny robot which was holding the changing chopsticks in one hand and the reversing mirror in the other. They all swallowed dry and started to look around, all desperate to find their friend.
''JACK!''
''BUDDY! WHERE ARE YOU!''
''PARDNER CAN YA HEAR US?!''
''JACK! JACK PLEASE ANSWER US!'', ''Hold on kids!'', Dojo said and started sniffing around.
He slithered down and sniffed everywhere, stopping when he sensed something on a particular spot, under the ground. ''HE'S OVER HERE!'', He shouted, and the monks quickly came. Clay showed them his palms and turned towards the spot. He focused and bent down, spreading his arms in opposite directions. The dirt divided and followed each arm, releasing Jack who immediately took in a deep breath and started coughing madly, ''Hah, holy shie-*cough!* Thanx.'', Jack said as he breathed out harshly and turned towards the sky.
''Dude, that was crazy. Why'd you do it?'', Asked Raimundo as they all kneeled down besides him, ''I had to trick him somehow to get close. Sorry.'', Jack said as he covered his eyes with his good arm. ''I can't feel my arm. How bad is it?'', They looked at his left arm, and cringed at the sight of burned flesh.
''Why are you all silent? Is it that bad?'', He turned around to look, but Omi grabbed his head to stop him. ''No, why would you do it?'', Omi asked Raimundo's question again, but this time Jack understood what they meant. The goth saw how all of them looked at him, and he swallowed, then clenched his jaw, ''I... took the crystal glasses that night... when I won the skates, and I saw that I was gonna betray you. I didn't want to let that happen so I thought that if I made him believe that I betrayed you, then I could stop him... wait, where's Hannibal?'', he asked, while looking around for the evil bean.
''We saw him leaving on that bird'', Clay explained, ''Fuuuuuck.'', Jack groaned while letting his head drop back on the ground. ''You wanted to destroy him...'', Kimiko stated, ''And I failed. *sigh*, he came to the temple and suggested he train me. Sorry I didn't …tell you. I was… afraid…'', he explained, and slowly closed his eyes, but when they saw he wasn't moving they screamed in panic ''Jack? Jack!'', ''Don't worry kids, he just passed out. Comon, let's go home.'', Dojo said and shifted into his bigger form. They nodded, Clay picked Jack up, Raimundo took the wu they came after, and they all climbed on Dojo's back, Kimiko standing with Clay and Jack to check out if he had any more wounds, and Omi sat silent and with hunched shoulders the entire ride.
In the garden:
''I absolutely hate this stinky stuff.'', Jack stated gagging for the 50th time that night as he tried to keep his bandaged arm as far away from his face as possible. Dragon sweat was the grossest medicine he has ever smelled in his life.
Raimundo was laughing every time he saw the goth resisting the urge to puke, enjoying himself in the constant shower of complaints coming from him. Kimiko on the other hand was annoyed at both their childish behavior but glad that everybody was alright in the end. She was about to state something but Clay went ahead of her, ''Have you seen such lightnings coming from the Eye of Dashi? They seemed pretty strong.'', ''Bright too.'', Rai joined along. Jack lifted one eyebrow ''Isn't it always like this?'', at everybody's silent stare he raised his good arm in defense, ''Hey, don't look at me like that, I didn't get to use it much remember?''.
Kimiko rolled her eyes and said ''It's usually one lightning. I guess this should be your signature wu.'', wind and earth nodded in agreement, ''Wait, so you're telling me that the lightnings were that strong because of my element?'', all nodded, ''Haven't you paid attention? At how the Sword of the Storm makes bigger tornadoes when I use it?'', Jack made a thinking face, they could basically see the wheels rotating. With the sudden gasp of realization Jack exclaimed ''OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!'', He slapped his forehead hard. The other 3 elements laughed at that. ''For a genius, you are pretty stupid.'', Kimiko said between laughs. Jack groaned and collapesd on the grass, looking up at the stars, with a face like he was trying his hardest not tu cuss.
''Well, that was an awesome way of showing who's side you're on.'', Rai said slapping Jack's stomach not too gently, ''What was that for Pedrosa?!'', the goth glared up at him, Raimundo laughed at that ''Chill, we're pals, this is what pals do.'', Jack punched his shoulder hard, making the leader yelp and grab it, ''What the- Why did you do that?!'', now it was himwho was glaring at Jack, ''What pals do.''.
Clay and Kimiko were looking amused at them, then Kimiko's face dropped into a serious one and asked ''So what exactly did you see in the future?'', all of them turned their attention to her, Jack was quiet for a moment, then said ''The scorched ground, although I guess this was your part, then you guys locked into the Sphere of Yun, and me shaking hands with Hannibal.''. All of them were silent. In the end Kimiko smiled amused and asked Raimundo and Clay ''Should we tell him?'', ''Tell me what?'', ''I don't think we should tell him just yet, he didn't wash the dishes yesterday and totally left me clean the floor all alone.'', Raimundo smirked, ''Tell me what?!'', ''We should tell him tho, even if I agree with you there pardner...'', ''Tell me what?!'', ''Yeah but we could make him do a few more chores if he wants to know.'', Kimiko suggested, ''I'm right here you know?'', then Rai chirped ''Let's not tell him just ye-'', ''TELL ME WHAT?!''.
Finally they laughed and Clay said ''The Crystal Glasses show the future, snake.'', Jack was already annoyed, ''I know that already!'', ''What Clay is trying to say is, Jack, you cannot change the future, yo.'', the wind dragon explained, Jack was having that confused frown again. ''You saw exactly the future, the ground was scorched, we were locked, and you and Hannibal shook hands.'', Kimiko explained, ''Did you took them off before that?'', Clay asked, ''Y...yeah?'', ''That explains it.'', Raimundo said rubbing his face, ''If you had them on a little longer, perhaps you would've seen what you were doing with the Eye of Dashi.'', Clay explained, ''Again, for a genius you are very stupid.'', Kimiko said, she as well, with her palm on her forehead, but amused non the less.
Jack raised one finger, ready to sustain his point of view through an argument, but he stopped before saying something. A long moment has passed with him standing as still as a statue, and then when it hit him, it hit him like a tornado. No, no, more like an earthquake. He suddenly got up and ran outside of the temple grounds until they didn't see him anymore. But then they heard an extremely loud ''Fuck.''. It was so loud that all the birds nearby flew away. When he was coming back he had a face like he ran 3 miles without stopping. He collapsed on the ground as they laughed, ''That means I was never gonna betray you guys.'', Jack sighed, ''So many stupid trouble that could've been avoided, if my stupid ass would've kept the stupid glasses on my stupid face, for a little longer stupid time. I can't believe I doubted myself for so long.'', Jack finally smiled, ''I don't know if I should be glad about it, or mad because I was such an idiot.'', ''Why not go for both?'', Raimundo suggested, ''Shut up.'', Jack groaned, trying to punch the leader's stomach.
They laughed some more, until Jack got up ''Guys, where is Omi?'', the rest became silent and looked further into the garden to a tree. There Jack saw Omi meditating on his head. ''Oh. Didn't see him there.'', ''He feels really guilty for what he told you back there. He said he was angry and I quote ''Not thinking in line.'', and also said he didn't really mean it.'', Kimiko told them. In the next moment Jack got up and walked towards Omi.
He sat down near him, ''Hey.'', ''Greetings...'', Omi responded, with a very sad tone. ''You alright?'', ''No.'', ''Why?'', Omi sighed and got into a normal sitting position, facing Jack but with his head down, ''I doubted you and I brought mean responses.'', Jack rolled his eyes and brushed him off, ''Not like I never done that before Cheese ball, I totally understand why you-'', ''But this time it wasn't for real! You didn't plan on betraying us.'', ''I might have.'', ''But would you actually do it?'', Jack glared at him, ''No Omi. I'm just trying to say-'', ''I know what you're trying to say.'', Omi sighed, ''I'm sorry for what I said. And, I don't hate you. I was just angry.'', Jack smiled, ''I don't blame you.'', ''But it was mean!'', ''It was awesome.'', Jack said with a stupid smile, and that finally, after a long stare, made Omi laugh.
''I'm sorry too, I didn't know how else to deal with it and I-'', ''I've heard the conversation.'', ''Eavesdropper.'', the goth grubled. Omi chuckled and added ''I forgive you.'', ''Yeah, me too.'', ''And next time just warn us before you do something like this again.'', ''I promise to wink.'' Jack said crossing his heart, ''Make sure you keep that promise.'', Raimundo yelled.''. Jack made a stupid imitation of what Raimundo said and then felt a strong wind push him back, making him slide across the grass. Getting up he pointed at him ''I'm gonna get you for this!'', ''Take a wu and it's on!'', thankfully, Kimiko and Clay stopped them from fighting. ''Wuuuuu, dudes, what was the wu from today?'', Jack asked suddenly curious.
''The Pendant of the Beast. It basically turns you in whatever animal you want.'', Omi said and then with a suddenly insulted face pointed at Jack ''DID YOU NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TODAY?!'', ''Sorry, my bad.'', Jack laughed scratching his neck. Can I try it on? They all looked at each other, ''I don't see why not.'', Clay said tilting his hat. They gave him the pendant and he put it on.
''Pendant of the Beast.'', Jack said and suddenly he shrank and transformed into a cat. ''Wow, this is awesome! WOW! I CAN TALK!'', He exclaimed and started inspecting his paws, ''So soft.'', he purred and tried to meow. ''Glad to see you are enjoying yourself, but why a cat?'', Omi asked. ''Isn't it obvious? So I can lick my balls in front of you.'', He said with a mischievous face, all the while lifting his leg. ''NOOOOO!'', The monks screamed and tried to catch him, but he ran, climbing a tree, surprisingly easy with a nasty arm, he sat on a branch.
''Watch me lift my leg...'', ''Dude, don't you dare!'', ''Stick out my tongue...'', ''There's a lady here ya varmint!'', ''Bend down and then- WAH!'', Omi caught him, ''Get him!'', Kimiko exclaimed and they all tried to take out the wu.
From the porch of the temple, Dojo and Fung watched both amused and with eye rolls at the display of immaturity. ''Are these the guys that saved the world and the self proclaimed genius?'', ''At least, their trust in each other grew a lot. And his own trust in himself. I knew that it was about to come.'', Fung smiled ''Like a sea haunted by storms, once it calms, the water is shining under the sun.'', ''Where do you keep getting these? Fortune cookies?'', Dojo asked. After a very long silence, where master Fung's face paled and smile dropped, the old man turned towards the dragon and said ''How did you know?'', ''Lucky guess.'', Dojo shrugged, not saying that he actually saw Fung keeping notes in his sleeves, ''Don't tell anyone.'', ''You have my word.'', Dojo promised, with his fingers crossed behind his back.
