*Dragon vs Demon*

"CHASE!"

The roar of his name was his only warning before his body was sent crashing through a wall. He could feel his armor straining to hold up against powerful claws as they tried to pierce through. Opening his eyes he was met with a look of pure rage. Reily's eyes looked as though they held a fire behind them, this girl was out for blood now. Thinking quickly Chase managed to kick Reily off of him but the girl merely hovered in the air thanks to her wings. She was quick in trying to strike again but Chase was faster. Changing into his dragon form when Reily swung at him she grabbed her arm and threw her across the room. Apparently being thrown through solid pillars did nothing to faze her. Reily got up almost immediately and let out a growl that made even his jungle cats cower.

"YOU LIED TO ME! Everything you had me believe was a fucking lie! I almost killed my best friend because of you!" Reily jumped right back into action, matching blow for blow against the Dragonlord. If Chase wasn't fighting for his own safety he would actually be thoroughly impressed with the girl's strength. Even if it was enhanced by the Demona's Fang it was still impressive that she could not only keep up with him but even match him. Claws clashed together and snarls were growing in volume. The two broke apart but only one was out of breath, and it wasn't Reily.

"I'm surprised. You gained your true memories back so soon. Tell me, what triggered that?" Chase lunged and Reily held up her arm in defence. Chase bit down on the girl's arm, expecting a pained yell but hearing noting but a growl.

"What triggered is was the holes that didn't add up." Reily kicked the Dragonlord off her, not caring that her skin tore in the process. Blood poured from the wounds for only a moment before she began to regenerate. "You tried to get rid of some important memories, but failed to realize all the holes you were leaving behind. When Jack started trying to get me to remember, things weren't adding up. But the biggest mistake you made?" Reily flew up high then dove down and raked her nails along Chase's side, making long and deep gashes. "You took out the memories that explained my scars." Chase howled in pain. This was not turning out good for him. If she kept landing blows like this the Haylin Prince wasn't going to last much longer.

"Well then, if you want them back so bad then take them." Chase snapped his fingers and in an instant Reily's mind was flooded with her old memories. Another snap of his fingers and this time Reily was surrounded by the jungle warriors. "I hope you had your fun because here is where it ends." Reily didn't move. The girl seemed to be frozen in place and for a brief, terrifying second Jack thought Reily's phobia of cats was stopping her. Jack wanted so desperately to go over and help her but Wuya was no where near done healing his wounds. The monks were exhausted as well. Those jungle cats put up one hell of fight. Jack could see Chase was grinning, he thought he had the upper hand now. He thought giving Reily back her memories was going to change things, he was wrong. "Get her." The cats pounced but none of them even got close to Reily. A harsh blast of green magic and every last one of Chase's jungle cats were knocked out cold. No one was left without shock written across their face.

"You know, one good thing about the Yang Yo-Yo making me evil, it suppressed my fear of cats." In a spilt second Chase was dodging blows again. This girl was determined to take him down no matter what. Chase was fucked. He fucked up big time this time around. Diol had been right, he had taken a chance and it had finally backfired. For the first time since he met Hannibal Bean fear started to bubble up inside him. Chase was experiencing the old saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' first hand, and if things kept up this way he'd have a one way ticket to hell real quick. He was using every ounce of strength he had against her and still Reily persisted.

Magic was thrown around as if it was nothing and blows continued to be dished out and sent back twice as strong. The group was in awe at the display. Chase Young was being backed into a corner by a 17-year-old teenage girl, and Jack couldn't be more proud. He had debated on cheering Reily on but decided he'd save that for after she won. Jack had no doubt his friend would win, Reily may have been the sweetest girl he knew but if she was anything like her mother she wasn't going down until she won. Although, it seemed like Jack wasn't the only one who thought of cheering Reily on.

"Come on girl! Beat that old lizard down!" The group of teens turned and looked curiously at Wuya. The Haylin witch looking a little too excited. She looked down at them and shrugged. "What? Might as well root for her if we can't help her fight. Besides, it's not everyday you see a Haylin Lord get his ass handed to him on a silver platter by a little girl barely a fifteenth his age." Wuya turned back and kept on cheering, prompting the others to join her.

Hearing those cheers not only spurred Reily on but they irritated Chase to no end. He shouldn't be losing, especially not to a little girl! But no matter what he did she just would not budge. In the midst of trying to think up a way out of this Chase faltered, giving truly the perfect opening. She jumped up high, hovering for only a moment with the help of her wings before driving back down and pinning the Dragonlord under her. The force Reily had used caused Chase's head to slam hard against the floor and much like it had done to Jack before, it caused him to become disoriented. Losing focus, the Haylin Prince reverted back to his human form. The growling above him made his eyes snap open. Reily had the look of rage in her eyes but underneath that was nothing but pure murder. Chase didn't even have time to try and struggle before Reily used her magic to pin him down to the floor. Reily readied one clawed hand, prepared to give the final blow.

"Karma's a bitch don't you think?" Her hand came down and Chase was prepared for the end, but nothing came. Opening his eyes once again he was greeted by Reily's claws being only centimetres away from his eye, but what really surprised the Dragonlord was who had stopped her. Diol stood behind Reily, a firm hand gripping her shoulder, holding her back only just enough.

"I believe that it's enough Miss Reily." The demon girl turned and glared at the man behind her.

"And why's that?! Tell me why I can't-"

"Because this is not you." Diol let go and and stared down at the young girl. He could see that slowly, she was coming back to get senses. Reily clicked her tongue and got up, releasing the Haylin Prince. "That is much better. I understand you are angry, but you are free now. There is no need to stay here any longer. Take these and please, go back with Spicer." Diol held out the Sirens Shell and the Yang Yo-Yo. Chase stayed on the ground, the fear that Reily might round on him again if he so much as twitched plagued his mind. Reily stood there, frozen still as she thought. Diol was right in a sense. This wasn't her, but the anger she was feeling and the instinct to just destroy Chase was so tempting. She shook her head, realizing just exactly what she was thinking. Reily nodded to Diol, taking the two Shen Gong Wu and moving to leave. But before that she whirled around and grabbed Chase by the collar of his armor and snarled.

"A little piece of advice for the all knowing Haylin Dragonlord, no matter if I'm evil or not, I will always be loyal to Jack. You can alter my mind all you want, but no matter what, Jack still knows more about me than anyone. He'll always be able to bring me back. You ever, and I mean EVER try something like this again, I won't hesitate to use the Yang Yo-Yo again too beat you down." She let him go and walked over the Jack and the others. Her body slowly turning back to normal and the Demona's Fang deactivated. Once she stood in front of them she smiled, and this time it was a real smile. Jack practically tackled Reily to the ground in a big hug.

"You're back!" Jack sounded so happy, but something inside Reily made her forcibly push him off her. "What's wrong?" She could see he was about to pull the trademark puppy dog eyes on her and she nearly gagged.

"I think the Yang Yo-Yo has a bigger alteration on my personality than I thought. Let's save the hugs for when I'm completely back to normal okay?" Jack nodded, he still looked upset and as much as Reily wanted to just hug him something kept stopping her. Dojo had been waiting outside for them the whole time.

"Well, well, you all look awful. Have fun?" The group laughed, although it was a tired laugh it was still a genuine laugh. It didn't take long to get back to the temple where the monks had the Ying Yo-Yo stashed away. Placing the Yang Yo-Yo back and taking Ying Yo-Yo out, Kimiko handed it to Reily.

"Can't wait to have you back." The girls smiled at each other and Reily sighed.

"Can't wait to be back." Reily took a few steps back and activated the Ying Yo-Yo. The portal to the Ying Yang world opened up and Reily stepped inside. Seconds went by. Then minuets. After about ten minuets Jack's paranoia started to set in.

"What if she's stuck in there? Should one of us go in? What if she got hurt-"

"Calm down Jack. She'll be fine. It's probably just taking her a little to find her good chi. Give her time." Wuya put a hand on the boy's shoulder and smiled. Jack just nodded, staring at the spot Reily and disappeared from. Soon enough another portal opened and Reily stepped out. Once the portal closed everyone was silent, waiting to see if Reily really was back to normal.

"Reily? You okay?" Jack stepped up and looked at her in confusion. She was just standing there, blank faced and staring like a deer in headlights. "Reily?" She finally blinked and shook her head. Within seconds her face went from confused to happy to shock and finally to horror. Her eyes began watering and not even two seconds later she was bawling her eyes out and hugging Jack apologizing over and over again. Jack just smiled and held her as she cried, just like he had always done the many times before. "There she is. Good old Reily's back."

"I'm so sorry Jack. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" Jack just smiled and held her, knowing she wouldn't listen to him until she was done. "I did all those horrible things to you. I hurt you! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it I swear! I hurt you... oh my god I hurt you! Are you okay?! How are you even standing!? We need to get you to a hospital or someth- MMH!" Jack put his hands over Reily's mouth and laughed.

"Good lord calm down. I'm fine. Wuya healed me when you were fighting Chase." Reily just blinked and stared. "You better now?" She nodded and Jack uncovered her mouth. Reily's face was soaked from crying so much, it was almost comical.

"You're not mad at me?" It was hard for the others to hold in their giggles. Reily was so sweet.

"Absolutely not. Not in a million years would I be mad at you. You couldn't do anything to ever make me mad at you."

"But I-"

"Reily, you could burn down my fucking house and I still wouldn't be mad at you. I'm just glad to have you back."

"Ehem." Omi stood next to the pair and both looked down curiously. The monk smiled and held out a neatly folded light blue and green jacket. "I believe this belongs to you Reily." Reily practically squealed in delight and grabbed her jacket.

"My jacket! Thank you Omi! Oh I missed this thing so much!" She quickly put it on and smiled wide. "Thank you guys really. You didn't have to help Jack get me back, but you did. You risked your lives to help save me. Thank you so much." Reily was about to cry again but a light bump to her head stopped get.

"Yeah yeah we get it. Quit it with the water works already." Raimundo smiled at her. Reily started laughing and before anyone else knew it they were laughing too.

Things were going to go back to normal soon. Jack and the monks would go back to fighting for the Shen Gong Wu, but now they'd have more times where they would hang out together. Wuya was perfectly fine with having her body back, even if it ment she wouldn't have all her power back. Jack, Reily and Wuya made their way back to Jack's house. Once they got back all three were dead tired. Jack and Reily didn't even bother to try and make out to Jack's room and collapsed onto the couch. Both were smiling like morons, way to happy for their own good.

"I'm glad you're back Reily. I really missed you." Reily nuzzled closer to Jack and the red head wrapped and arm around her waist.

"I missed you too Jack." She paused for a second. "Still best friends?" Jack smiled and sighed.

"Absolutely still best friends." Both laughed and laid in silence until sleep took them over. Things will be back to normal soon, everything will go back to the way things were supposed to be. And this time, it'll stay that way.
