Emily's POV
"Yo Em everything okay you've been out of it for a few days" Raimundo asked.
"Huh? I'm okay Raimundo just a little tired" I reassured him with a wave.
A week had passed since it was revealed Chase was my mate and I couldn't keep the damn Heylin out of my mind.
"Maybe it's her time of then month" Kim suggested.
"Too much information Kimiko!" Clay protested blushing.
Her remark got me to laugh my ass off and the others joined in. Since arriving here my friends made me feel welcome and I was glad to have them.
"Now that has to be my homey Omi"
Omi suddenly broke into a smile at hearing the voice and we all turned to see Jermaine at the entrance.
"Jermaine its you!" Omi exclaimed happily.
"What's up?" Jermaine replied.
"How come you didn't give us a holler your were coming?" Clay Jermaine asked.
"I wanted to surprise you and give you some big time news" Jermaine answered before taking out Monk Robes.
"You're a monk warrior this is most exciting!" Omi then hugged Jermaine with glee and Jermaine returned the favor.
"Hey I noticed you guys got someone new" I blushed when Jermaine finally saw me.
"This is Emily she's from America like Clay" Kimiko introduced me.
"Nice to meet you Emily" Jermaine said holding out his hand and I shook it.
"Likewise so what rank are you starting at?"
"I'm a Wudai Warrior" Jermaine explained. The others congratulated him while Omi turned green with jealousy and I smacked him on the head to knock it off. "My master says I'm the fastest learner he's ever had"
I knew it was Chase who was Jermaine's teacher. Kimiko and I then offered to show Jermaine around and Omi was still jealous. After Jermaine settled in I needed to hunt and when Jermaine saw my dragon form he almost had a heart attack thankfully Omi and the others explained what I was and then Jermaine thought being a dragon shifter was cool.
I ended up bringing down two stags and I devoured them with haste. I growled when I saw Chase lounging against a tree. I was really getting tired of him showing up unannounced.
"You know this showing up unannounced is getting old" I scolded him after resuming my human form and my hands were on my hips.
"My apologies Emily but it's been awhile since we last met" Chase greeted me.
"We crossed paths last week that isn't considered awhile" I corrected him. Some of his jungle cats were nearby and Wuya wasn't around. Deciding to annoy him I suddenly smirked.
"Where's your girlfriend Wuya?"
Chase immediately scowled at my question.
"She isn't my girlfriend nor do I intend to pursue a relationship with the witch either" he replied calmly. The Price of Darkness then approached me and I wanted to move but my damn body refused to budge. When he finally stood in front of me I tried to throw a punch but Chase grabbed my wrist stopping me. He then smirked before taking my hand and he kissed it.
Immediately my face went red because I hadn't been expecting for him to do that.
"What the hell are you doing?" I demanded pulling my hand out of his grasp.
"Simply showing my affections Sky Warrior" Chase answered.
"You mean courting me" I corrected.
"You could say that" the Heylin agreed.
"I thought those who are evil aren't capable to love someone"
"That is false" Chase stated and I was interested to hear what he had to say. "Beings on good or evil can love"
"Uh huh" I responded unsure whether to believe him or not. "FYI I don't intend to join the Heylin side either"
"Perhaps or perhaps not the choice is up to you Emily"
He then turned around and took his leave and I did the same.
Back At Temple
Turns out while I had been hunting a new Shen-Gong-Wu revealed itself and the guys along with Jermaine went to get it. Jack ended up getting the Manchurin Musca thanks to Omi being an idiot and now he and Jermaine were not getting along. After eating Master Fung suggested they spar hence I was watching them duke it out with the others.
Both Jermaine and Omi charged at one another and soon they were sparring like crazy as though their lives depended on it.
"I'm not sure the fighting is bringing them together" Rai suggested to Master Fung as the boys were now sparring on the water. Jermaine then performed Repulse the Monkey and that move caught Omi off guard and Jermaine kicked him from behind making Chrome Dome fall face first into the water. Master Fung went over and helped Omi to his feet and gave advice before telling Omi and Jermaine to shake hands. The two of them did but they didn't mean they made up.
Jermaine ended leaving later much and Omi was saddened. To hopefully cheer him up I offered for him and I spar together which he happily complied. The guys watched as Omi and I worked on our moves and by the end we were both worn out from our sparring.
Next Day.
Omi's mode didn't improve the next day and we were all hanging out in the courtyard. Omi was meditating upside down.
"Cheer up sad dude, I'm sure Jermaine will get over it" Raimundo told Omi hoping to reassure him.
"Yes but I'm not sure if I will" Omi replied with a sigh.
The sound of electricity and a squeal made all of us turn to see Jack being electrocuted. He then fell to the ground recovering from the shock.
"Jack Spicer you no good rustler what are you doing here?" Clay demanded
"Nothing I was just in the neighborhood" Jack answered sitting up dealing with the aftershocks of being fried.
"You are here to steal our Wu!" Omi said getting in front of Jack.
"No I'm here to steal your lava lamp" Jack corrected.
"Sounds like one Evil Boy Genius has hit some hard times" Kimiko said while Rai laughed behind his hands.
"Looks there's still a lot of stuff I gotta give Tubbimura, maybe we can agree to a trade?" the goth suggested with a cha-ching.
"What is it that you want?" Omi questioned.
"Clay's cowboy hat" Jack offered.
"Hey no one touches my hat" Clay growled making an X with his arms.
"Well I'm sitting on some pretty juicy info it has to do with Jermaine and it's not good"
Omi then jumped on Jack making him fall over.
"I demand you spill your internal organs right now!"
"What kind of sick people are you?!"
"He means spill your guts" Rai corrected Omi. We then turned to Clay who moaned before he took off his hat and tossed it to Jack which landed on his head and Jack lifted the tip off.
"Jermaine is part of Chase Young's crew I saw him with my own hundred eyes" Jack explained and we shot him WTF looks. "I was a fly at the time"
"What a load of hay" Clay began.
"Jermaine wouldn't do that" Rai added.
"He would if he did not know Chase Young was evil" Omi corrected.
Later.
Not long after Jack left did the Golden Finger reveal itself and we were now riding on Dojo's back. The coliseum where the Golden Finger appeared and the wu sat on top of a ruin. Suddenly Chase appeared in mid air and Dojo yelled as Chase used his magic to shed Dojo towards the ground and the poor dragon landed against a structure making it fall. We escaped unscathed and Jermaine was climbing towards the Golden Finger and Omi was quick to jump to the other pillar.
"Step off Omi this Shen-Gong-Wu is mine" Jermaine told Omi firmly.
"Jermaine Chase Young has been using you, he's on the side of evil"
"Say what?"
"Omi's right" Kimiko added and Jermaine looked to us.
"Chase is using you" Raimundo joined in.
"We wouldn't steer you wrong partner" Clay agreed.
"He's bad news dude" I finished.
"You guys would say anything to save Cue-Ball" Jermaine argued. Chase chose that moment to appear behind us and we all moved away from him.
"That's right Jermaine block out their words you know what you must do"
Hot bastard I thought.
A very hot bastard indeed my dragon purred.
I rolled my eyes while Omi and Jermaine began to scale towards the Golden Finger. Raimundo used his wind element to send us onto the column where Jermaine was climbing.
"Going somewhere?" Chase taunted blocking our path.
"No but you are!" Kimiko shouted.
She then jumped off of the column and sent fireballs at Chase and Raimundo added his wind. Clay kicked the column hard and I used the Shadow Lance to send orbs of darkness at Chase. Chase used his hands to absorb Kimiko and Raimundo's wind and then jumped off of the column as it collapsed. The four of us were crushed underneath the rubble and I took my dragon form and using my strength moved the rubble off of us.
"Nice safe Em" Raimundo praised as I returned to my human form.
"Thanks though the rubble was heavy" I confessed.
Above us Omi, Jermaine, Tubbimera, and Jack touched the Golden Finger which glowed. Omi challenged them to a Xiaolin Showdown Tsunami or whatever the hell it was called. Omi wagered the Ruby of Ramses, Tubbimura the Shroud of Shadows, Jack the Muncharin Musca, and Chase tossed Jermaine the Lasso Boa. It didn't take long for the area to transform for the showdown which was Battle of the Gladiators. The setting for the showdown resembled the Roman Coliseum and after the usual shout did the games start. Dojo wore a white toga for crying out loud. Side doors opened and lions charged out of them approaching the challengers below. Jack, Omi, Tubbimura, and Jermaine wore gladiator attire and they had mini swords.
One lion ran at Omi who kicked the cat backwards and Tubbimura used his body to deal with the lions who attacked him. Jack screamed before running and two lions chasers after him. The goth used the Muncharin Musca and transformed into a fly before the lions touched him. But a crow snatched the evil boy genius in its beak.
The lions left the arena and chariots emerged over the walls. Omi, Jermaine, and Tubbimura each got in one and the fat ninja disappeared using the Shroud of Shadows. Jermaine guided his chariot so a sharp end was trying to pry the wheel off of Omi's. This continued until Omi used the Ruby of Ramses to take the Shroud of Shadows away from Tubbimura and a second later Jermaine used the Lasso Boa to pull Tubbimura off of his chariot and the ninja landed on Jack who was back to normal.
The chariot race was over and Omi tried to reason with Jermaine but Jermaine and Omi began to fight using their swords. Omi jumped away from Jermaine before falling into a pit but he was able to avoid it by leaping over Jermaine and after another dance of blades did Jermaine fall victim to another hidden pit. Omi tried to help Jermaine out but the New York was quick to leave the pit unharmed and now he had Omi pinned to the wall.
After a change of dialogue Omi threw his sword down and shield down. Chase encouraged for his apprentice to continue and Wuya got excited. I laughed when Chase smacked her in the face. When he realized he had been fighting on the side of evil did Jermaine and Omi shake hands and the showdown was over.
"No! You can't just quit!" Wuya protested after everything was back to normal.
"They can and have Ghost Hag" Kimiko said.
"Reckon we got ourselves a Xiaolin Showdown draw" Clay added.
"No winner what a rip off, you wouldn't see this in the old days" Dojo whined.
"Oh hush cutie" I reprimanded the dragon picking him up. Dojo blushed before taking off his gladiator attire and Raimundo picked up the Golden Finger. Nearby Jack went after Tubbimura and when Jack threatened for Muffin Face to become UFM did Tubbimura's eyes went wide and he caved. Clay's hat landed on my head and I removed it and gave it back to Clay.
"Thank you kindly Em" he thanked me. I smirked and Jack had his stuff back and he pulled out Tubbimura's dog from his trench coat and tossed it to the ninja. I always got a kick out of that and Jack noticed me watching. The goth then sent me a wink which made me shiver.
"It appears you have underestimated the forces of good " Omi called to Chase. Chase smirked before turning to look at us. He leaned his arm against the pillar beside him.
"And what makes you think things didn't turn out exactly as I planned?" the Heylin asked.
"Because you lost?" Omi offered.
"No Omi you won" Chase then appeared right in front of Chrome Dome. "You were the one I was testing and you passed as I expected"
"Hey back off" I growled getting in front of Omi and Dojo shook in my grasp. "Ever hear of personal space, and besides the damn rubble hurt"
Chase smirked before disappearing.
"Man that guy is wigging out" Jermaine stated.
"I think as you say it is time to booger on out of here"
"I sure hope you mean boogey"
Much Later.
Jermaine stayed for another day before he left with Dojo. I was glad I had a chance to meet him and that he made up with Omi. My dragon was being bossy due to the fact she wanted to see Chase and to shut her up I left the temple at sunset. Master Fung and the guys knew I left the grounds a lot so it wasn't suspicious.
I landed next the same spot I encountered Chase yesterday and I wondered if said hot bastard would show up. My answer was revealed when Chase arrived shortly after I did.
"I'm only here because my damn dragon wanted to see you" I stated.
"Good" Chase replied coming up to me. He then frowned. "What was the deal with Spicer?"
I heard a bit of jealousy in his voice and I arched an eyebrow.
"He just decided to wink at me it's no big deal"
"It's a big deal to me I will not share what is mine" Chase said with disapproval. Without thinking I slapped Chase Young hard across his face and the blow surprised him.
"Don't you dare refer to me as your f**king property" I hissed.
Chase looked back at me and his cheek was red from where I slapped him.
"You had an abusive relationship" Chase stated.
"Hell yeah I did and I ended up killing my partner who I thought loved me instead I was his punching bag"
Anger flashed in Chase's eyes which I wasn't expecting to see. Then he dared to come closer to me and the next thing I knew the Heylin had me in his arms.
"What the?"
"I'm sorry I upset you" he apologized and I widened my eyes. Chase freaking Young was hugging me!
He is ours as we are his my dragon told me.
I chose not to reply to her or Chase because I was still in shock Chase was even doing this. After hugging me Chase pressed a kiss to my forehead and that got me to blush.
"I must leave Sky Warrior but remember I will never harm you"
The Heylin then backed away and then was gone.
