First I want to say thank you to anExitedbutdissapointedXSDfan for spreading the word about Xiaolin Chronicles. I found this out right after posting the last chap and I am SO EXCITED! Though it looks way different and I'm not exactly stoked about all the changes CN still needs kick ass shows like Xiaolin Showdown back! But even though I already knew thank you for spreading the word, you are too nice. Any other replies will be at the end.

Enjoy folks!

Jack had been gone for three whole months. Who knew how long Jack had thought he had spent in Jignesh's realm he had been gone far too long. He must have been rigorously trained in the sight of a master of almost every art there was. Jack would be an unstoppable force to any that opposed him. Jack must have by now learned the absolute balance.

Chase wasn't a man who liked sitting on the sidelines and just waiting for what he wanted to happen. He did whatever had to be done to make whatever it was that he wanted happen. But not this time. There was no way to get Spicer away from Jignesh until he was ready to come back. Chase hated everything about this.

Jignesh had won an important victory in getting free. This could very well mean Chase's undoing.

In a dark humor kind of way, it was actually funny that Chase Young the mighty Everlord, The immortal lord of the Mountain of Doom, Scourge of the world. The dark prince would be brought down by a sniveling worm and a foolish jealous bitch.

It was times like this he feared that the greedy impulses of the dragon would get him killed one day. Greedily hording things away because they were different, pretty, or valuable was one thing; but trying to own a living humanoid creature seemed to always lead to utter disaster.

This game with Jignesh was getting old. Too old. This time Chase was going to get rid of him for good

Ooo000ooo000ooo000

"A Toast to a lovely student!" Jignesh cried out lifting his Champaign glass into the air. He and Jack were sitting on two stars with a colorful star nursery floating in between them. It had been a trial training Jack. Fitting years of experience in a few of Jack's months. Jack was by no means a good student. But even with the occasional insufficient work Jack was still better than some.

Jignesh had worked hard in his every endeavor to make Jack fall for him, hard. This way Jignesh could be assured of Jack's loyalty on the other side. Nothing like a little love to assure that this happened. But Jignesh was starting to fear all his hard work. It seemed that Jack might not be the only one falling in love.

Jack's stupidity had not changed in the slightest but the amount of times Jignesh noticed how dense Jack could be was going down. Jack's looks were no longer hideous. Not quite desirable but not frighten ugly either. His eyes now shone like the most brilliant red rubies with flecks of deep garnet instead of glowing an impish evil red.

His hair was still looked bloody but that wasn't the main concern of Jignesh. He now could only think of how soft it had felt during the times he had to check Jack's head for the tell tale bumps of a concussion.

Jack had begun to puzzle Jignesh. How the boy could have remained so sweet with his self appointed title of evil. The world around Jack was cruel. No one to love or support him. Parents that obviously didn't care. No one to train him. And the night after he helped save the world that he so desperately wanted to rule his gran was taken from him. The only one who cared. But still the boy smiled. At him anyway.

"Jack your training is complete and you are ready to get back and destroy all whom you hate." Jignesh said sitting back on his star.

"Yeah, and not just that. All the dreams I gave up on because I was too weak, I can do all of them now. The world is within my reach," Jack said looking down at his glass with a small blush. "And it's all because of you, thank you master." Jack felt strongly for Jignesh this was plain to see.

The only problem was that Jignesh wasn't sure how he felt about Jack. He was still annoying and full of uncontrollable emotions. But contrary to his prior beliefs Jack was not weak. Jack was a different kind of strong. With a little encouragement Jack excelled. He had a strong sprit and his eyes shone with such, such life.

There was a light in Jack's eyes that Jignesh had never seen before. Jignesh loved things that shone. That was why he filled his realm with stars. Stars shone like no other things. A beauteous glistening that was unmatched. The moon had blemishes and dark spots, while the sun burned constantly only giving the viewer pain in the end.

Stars were so different. They head shapes and forms, they had a silvery beauty in them. Jack's eyes shone like that. There was this unreal beauty to them that was breath taking. Jack was starting to take Jignesh's breath away.

Jignesh had not had good luck with love in the past. He had fallen for the ugliest of the beasties before because of the stupidest things. Their determination, or their coloring. The most unfortunate time was an obsession with a powerful warrior's hair. He still had some of it in fact, at least six inches tucked away somewhere.

He would not make the same mistakes with Jack. He would give this time and think in through. No blind love this time. He was going to do this right. If this was a story he would have wasted paragraphs and paragraphs going on about his changing feelings for Jack, instead of advancing the plot. Shame on him.

Rambling like this.

Jack was starting to make him crazy.

But…maybe falling in love with someone who would love him back, maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

:What the hell was he thinking! Of course it would be bad. All love is bad.

Gods damn that boy! He was a temptress, a siren. Jignesh knew that boy was worthless and bad for him but when Jacks twisted version of a siren song that came in the form of a smile, a small improvement, anything that would serve to make you think he wasn't a worthless burden on others. Which he was. He made you sway from the right choice. Starry eyes were not going to ruin his plans. May all the Gods damn that boy to the deepest pits of hell.

No one was going to ruin his plans t his time. He had waited too long. All Jignesh had ever wanted was right around the corner, and that fool boy had him dreaming of love.

Jack was making him so crazy. As soon as his plans succeeded he would get rid of him.

Ooo000ooo000ooo000

There was something wrong with Jignesh, His usual princely manner was gone and he was staring into his glass. He had been doing this for a while now and Jack was starting to worry. Whatever was bothering Jignesh, Jack still wanted to get it off his mind. What better way than this? "Wanna dance Master?" Jack asked with a smile. "Not really Jack." Jignesh said still preoccupied "Besides there's no music." "Please master," Jack scoffed. "How long have I been here and you expect me to not have figured how to get a little music going?" Jack sat on the ground in a full lotus, a slightly clichéd position, and focused all his energy on a song. A vortex began to swirl above Jack's head and a song started to play, Cleopatra in New York Jignesh believed. Jack got up and offered a hand to Jignesh. "I said no Jack." Jignesh said, his tone now annoyed. "Fine you party pooper." Jack said "I'll dance on my own." Jack started to dance, but the way he was dancing was just, wow. Not in a that's sexy way but more, is that a girl dance your doing there guy? "Jack what are you doing?" Jignesh asked utterly confused. Jack was doing a dance for women, Middle Eastern women at that. Jack was the palest, whitest boy ever. *"Well you see I asked my step mom for sword handling lessons when I was six, but she got a tutor for sword dancing lessons. She told the lady I was a girl and that she wanted me to act more feminine. She also threatened to tell my Dad I asked for these lessons if I didn't do them. I was all like 'what the hell did I ever do to you, you old bitch?' and she was all like 'you turned my juicer into a robot you little twerp.' So I did them and she decided it was so cute that I had to do belly dancing next so here I am. I think that woman really wished I was a girl when she married my Dad and just didn't have the balls to tell anyone." Jack sighed happily "God I love her." "Your belly dancing?" Jignesh asked "Yeah, I'd never admit it but I sort of like it." Jack said "You and your mother have a bizarre relationship." Jignesh said a bit startled at the strange child hood story. "Well I think it's because she isn't my biological mom. My real mom left my dad and me after I was born. Said she couldn't deal with having a freak kid. When he remarried when I was two, his new wife Elmas had no idea how to me a mom so she opted for stern friend type thing." Jack, who had gotten bored and sat down next to his master, said. "What happened to your real mother?" Jignesh asked "Oh her, she came back when I was fourteen. I was really attached to her for a while but she just wasn't what I was expecting. She was mean and cold, not really a maternal lady." Jack said his expression turning sad. "Why did you grow attached to her if she was not a good mother?" Jignesh asked "I kinda just wanted to know her. It got to the point where I was desperate to know the woman. Cling to her so she wouldn't leave again. It sorta made me look like a major mama's boy, don't get me wrong I totally am but more towards my step mom. Oh, well it's over now. She's dead." Jack said dismissively. "That's a depressing story Jack." Jignesh said "Yeah well my child hood was messed up. Maybe if someone would have danced with me I might have told you a nicer child hood story." "Did you even have a nicer story?" Jignesh skeptically asked "Well no, but I could have made one up." Jack admitted sheepishly "Okay make up a better story." Jignesh challenged Jack. "Well…um, let's see here…I got it! So Once Upon A Time there's this skinny orphan who is always sad and hungry then he gets adopted and his new mom feeds him so he's not hungry anymore and his new Dad gave him hugs which made him happy then he got fat and then his new parents bought him a cart to push his squishy body to the bakery and hug factory and then they all live apathetically ever after." "…That was horrid. That was by far the worst story I have ever heard." Jignesh said "Oh well, so I won't grow up and write children's books. Big whoop." Jack smirked

"Jack," Jignesh was all seriousness now. "You will have to go back soon. You know this right?" "Yeah, it's time for me to go back and kick some serious ass so you can have your body." Jack was a bit nervous but overall he was excited to be helping out someone as wonderful as Jignesh. "It will not be easy, I have trained you well but you are by no means a master of the absolute balance and I wouldn't advise you giving up the wisdom of heaven for anything." "Well even if I told people they wouldn't be able to use the information." Jack said "I meant the Shen Gong Wu Jack." Jignesh said with a smile "Ooooh, yeah that makes much more sense." Jack got up again and began to rub his arm like he was nervous. "So about when do you think I'll have to leave?" "Right about…now. The Moses Staff has just revealed it's self. It can lead you to anything you desire. It is in the cave near where you will wake up." Jignesh "It's oddly convenient that the staff that we need reveals its self as soon as I'm done training. Even more convent that it's a Shen gong wu." Jack said disbelievingly "Stranger things have happened." Jignesh said as he prepared to send Jack back. "Before you go I need to tell you something about the wisdom of heaven, the Wu I mean. Its power varies depending on the position you wear it in. If you put it on the hallow of your throat it will act as a healing shen gong wu, healing minor wounds and promoting general wellness, but if you put it over your third eye in the center of your forehead it will allow you to talk to and visit me for counsel. Use it wisely Jack Spicer." Jignesh "Never let it leave your sight." "I won't." Jignesh finished the portal "Master," Jack was blushing. He wanted to ask Jignesh if there was even a chance of him loving Jack one day. "I want to ask you something about you, a-and me. I-is there-" Jignesh saw the look in his eye and feared what that would come next. "There's is no time Jack! You must go! Now!" Jignesh shoved Jack through the portal and far, far away from him. Jack fell into the portal then in disappeared. Thank the Gods, the boy was gone. Now all that was left to do was hope that Jack didn't ruin their plans.

Ooo000ooo000ooo000

Wuya gasped as Jack's eyes snapped open and the orb fell away. Jack fell to the ground with an oomph. He stood and rubbed his now sore rump. Jack was back! She shouted with shock and threw her arms around him. "Jack! Your back!" she screeched.

"Wuya! Personal space!" Jack whined. Then he looked around. "Well, well looks like the gangs all here. You all come to get that wu and stop us." Jack peeled Wuya off of him. "Well I'm back and there's no way I'm going to let you ruin everything by getting that Wu!" Jack ran off into the cave in search of the Moses staff.

"Shen Gong Wu?" Kimiko asked puzzled, he wanted a wu? He just escaped that horrid place and that's what Jack wants?

"What has gotten on to Jack Spicer?" Omi asked

"How did he know that The Moses staff activated?" Rai turned to the cave where jack had run off.

"…I'm I tha only one to hear him say us instead 'a me?"

"All that time worried over tha insolent brat! He just goes running off like he hasn't been gone for three months! Doesn't he realize how worried I've been?" Wuya kept on ranting until she noticed that everyone had made their way to the cave. "Wait for me!"

"Wait Wuya, do you find Jack's behavior…odd?" Chase appeared behind Wuya, whose hair raised on its ends resembling an angry cat.

"Don't do that!"

"I am concerned. I believe that Jack has been given his confidence back."Chase began to walk into the cave and motioned to Wuya to follow him.

"So, Jack does stuff like this all the time." Wuya wasn't worried about Jack anymore. He seemed much better after that trip to see…Jignesh. Oh shit.

"Oh, shit." Wuya finally grasping what Chase was worried about. Jignesh was the only one despite enough to teach Jack the perfect balance. "Jack is going to murder us all! We must hide! He will be unstoppable!"

"Look who finally caught on. Calm yourself Wuya. It seems that Jack has something planned or he would have slaughtered us all when he came back. We have time to prepare but we must get the Wisdom of Heaven far far away from Jack. If he begins, or continues, to plot with Jignesh it could mean that he would escape his realm. And no one wants that." They were in the cave now, which was surprisingly devoid of any rocks or stones. Just smooth stone, from floor to ceiling.

"Ugh," Wuya shuddered at the mention of that psychopath. She didn't really care for Chase but when he told her that he had trapped that little slut in his own twisted dimension she had been truly grateful to him. To know that Jignesh could never come for his revenge had been the best news she had heard since, well since before mankind crawled out of the mud. She would actually conceder giving up her life to keep him locked up. Sick little freak. "We must keep him confined at all costs!"

"Thank you for telling me what I already knew, but next time don't even bother. Unlike you I'm not garishly stupid." Chase said with a cruel chuckle.

Wuya opened her mouth to yell at him when Kimiko foolishly shouted to her teammates that she found the wu. Now they all knew where it was.

The Moses staff was a long plain Sheppard's staff. Well plain not counting the writing on it. Each line went vertically down the staff in a different language. Jack, Omi, Raimundo, Chase, Clay, and Kimiko all lunged for the staff and grabbed it at the exact same time.

**"Oh you totally planed that!" Wuya said disbelievingly at that stupidly imposable move.

"Omi, Raimundo, Chase, Clay, and Kimiko I challenge all six of you to a Xiaolin Showdown! The challenge is martial arts tea ceremony!"

"Whaaa?" The monks looked puzzled and Chase looked like he was holding in an annoyed face palm.

"Oh come on! All the other completely ridiculous things we've done but you want to question this one? Come on do you accept my challenge or not?" Jack asked a little peeved off.

"Don't we always?" Rai said.

"I accept" Kim said with a nod.

"That goes fer me too." Clay said

"I accept" Chase said

"It is off and bursting Jack Spicer!" Omi said, though he was greeted with puzzled looks at his mangled slang.

"Do you mean 'on and popping'?" Wuya asked from the side lines

"That too!" came Omi's confident shout.

"Whatever. Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!" Jack shouted and the cave began to change.

Ooo000ooo000ooo000
