Summery: Jack Spicer thought his life with magic was over once he turned 18. He'd never imagined that helping an injured man would take him back on the path of magic as he seeks power he had only ever dreamed of.

Author's Note: The following chapter is dedicated to my only reviewer: Shadow Priesstes! But for all of you, feel free to read and review… I might just dedicate a chapter to you if you do! Oh and Seth is the Egyptian God of evil and destruction. I happen to be a big fan of Stargate SG-1 and the Gould are mostly named after the Egyptian Gods. So it sort of fit with the story. Plus none of the other ancient gods had cool names like Seth!

Chapter Four

Kimiko brushed her hair out of her face with one hand while the other hand was firming placed on Dojo's back. The dragon had sensed a new Shen Gong Wu only moments before and the four Dragon Warriors and one real dragon set off in the direction of it. The wind blew hard in her face, making her hair whip about her head and stinging her eyes. She found herself seriously starting to think about shaving her head.

"So what's this Wu called Dojo? And where exactly are we heading?" Raimundo had to nearly scream over the winds that were whipping by them. Clay was sitting close by and was to busy holding onto his precious ten-gallon hat to pay any attention to the Brazilian, so Raimundo was forced to yell up towards the head of their ride, Dojo.

"It is called The Fire Seed." Omi's voice was still soft but Raimundo had no trouble hearing the other teen. Even if said teen was sitting the closest to Dojo's head and Raimundo himself was near the back. "It is said to be able to control the fire's that lie beneath the surface of the earth. It also has the power to force any and all Volcano's to erupt." Raimundo hung his head as he heard Kimiko claim the Wu for herself after Omi's speech. It wasn't any true surprise to Rai; Fire WAS after all, her element.

"This is the major thing kiddies. Dashi and I hid the Seed inside a small statue of the Hawaiian Goddess, Pele. Said statue is now located in a small shrine to the goddess near the mountain: Kilauea." Dojo's voice echoed over the sound of the winds, making it very easy to hear him.

"So why is this a "major thing" Dojo? If it's in a shrine, we just go in. Grab the Wu, and get out of there before anyone notices!" Raimundo gave off one of his best know it all wise guy smiles and crossed his arms over her chest. Clay shook his head at the Brazilian before grumbling about the wind. Omi had his eyes closed and face expressionless, but Kimiko's face was one of worry.

"Kilauea is known as the most active volcano in the world. Since it first started erupting in 1983, it hasn't stopped. Dojo please tell me that shrine wasn't atop that volcano." Her voice was a mere whimper and Rai felt his own happy mood fade away. If the shrine were indeed on top of an active volcano, it would truly be a miracle, if any part of it had survived.

"If I remember correctly the shrine was located a little ways from the volcano, sitting overlooking Mauna Loa. It's entirely possible that it's been completely destroyed by now." Raimundo let his head droop as Kimiko started yelling at Dojo as to why he hadn't gone earlier in the decade to see if the shrine was still there. Dojo had simply replied that he wasn't sure where any of the Wu was until they became active again. It had of course been 1500 years since he'd seen the thing.

Raimundo decided that it was best to ignore the loud yelling of his female teammate and looked down at the passing ocean. In a few moments they would be in Hawaii. He had always wanted to go, but suddenly it wasn't the place he wanted to be the most.

"Did ya'll notice that those weird clouds have disappeared?" Clay's voice made Kimiko stop yelling and turn her head to the sky. Raimundo did as well and gasped loudly. The sky was a clear blue, not a single cloud hovered over the Hawaiian Islands. It was as if they had just entered into the eye of a giant storm, Kimiko brought up this small idea. And it seemed to make even Omi nervous.

"Reckon we should set down now Dojo. Before it gets any weirder." The dragon nodded his head at Clay's words and headed down towards the nearest beach. Once they were near enough to the ground, the four dragon warriors jumped off of the real dragons back onto the soft sand.

Almost instantly Omi started to scan the horizon of the beach for any sign of the shrine. Dojo curled himself up on Clay's shoulder, while Kimiko sat on the beach and ran her hands through her hair. Raimundo went straight to the edge of the beach squatting down and dipping his hands into the water. All four of the dragon warriors were at ease, but they knew that any minute their enemies would be upon them. Ready to get to the Shen Gong Wu first.

Wuya growled to herself as she watched Chase use the Golden Tiger claws to open up a portal to the base of Mauna Loa. The evil Overlord had directed over twenty of his jungle cats to head through the portal then turned towards Wuya. His face held a deep frown. He knew that they would be out classed on his hunt. With no use of their powers it was almost impossible for either of them to win against the four Dragon Warriors.

"Be on guard Wuya. We only have a few Shen Gong Wu, and I have no intention of losing any of them to the monks." Wuya only nodded her head before following the jungle cats through the portal. Chase spared one last glance upward at the glass ceiling above him and at the dark clouds before jumping through the portal himself.

Jack rolled onto his back and stared up at the ceiling of his guest bedroom. His eyes were half closed and he sighed softly as he heard the water running in the shower of the guest bathroom and the soft purring coming from the floor. Seth had been an extremely loving and gentle lover when it came right down to it. Jack found himself in a lull as he tried to focus on something other than the memories of the night before.

He didn't have to try hard before he felt a tugging within himself. He sat up in the bed and let the sheets fall around his waist. His eyes were wide and his breathing had nearly stopped. His sudden shift in position awoke Kabira from her slumber. The leopard leap up onto the bed and rested her head in Jack's lap. The teen glanced down at the leopard before his attention turned towards the curtain leading to the bathroom.

Standing in the walkway was Seth, a simple blood red towel wrapped around his waist as his long black hair hung damp around his shoulders. His bright gold eyes watching Jack with a look of deep concern. Jack felt his throat tighten up before he lifted a hand to his head.

"What is wrong Jonathan?" Seth's voiced as he walked towards the bed. Jack started to rub at his temples. He was getting images in his mind of a small wooden shrine located between Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Jack knew the shrine, having been there a few times before to watch Kilauea erupt. He also suddenly knew about what was hidden in the shrine.

"It's a Shen Gong Wu. The Fire Seed." Jack looked up at Seth and frowned before leaning into the man, Seth smiled and sat down on the side of the bed wrapping an arm around Jack's bare shoulders. Jack took a deep breath and then closed his eyes. "It's got the ability to control the Earth's inner fires, along with all of the volcano's on Earth." He blinked open his eyes and looked up into Seth's smiling face.

"It seems the signature of the Shen Gong Wu has left a bigger impression on you than I first thought. It seems you are now able to sense them." Seth's voice was soft and Jack watched out of the corner of his eyes as Seth leaned down and placed a soft kiss to the side of his neck. Jack shivered before moving back and looking up fully into Seth's face.

"How?" Jack's voice was full of disbelief. How was he suddenly able to sense the Shen Gong Wu? And what happened now that he had this new power? Was he going to get more of them?

"It is a part of the new you child." Kabira said through a yawn. She was enjoying her nap, but this was sort of interesting. How would the human handle having god like powers and abilities. "Your other powers are unknown to us, but should reveal themselves when they are ready." She let out another yawn before flipping onto her back. Jack took the opportunity to scratch her belly and she purred brightly at the feeling.

"It is all from our mating Jonathan." Seth stood up from the bed and walked over towards the guest closet and started to search for some clothes. Jack took the time to really scratch Kabira's stomach, making the leopard purr even loader than his car. Jack found himself laughing before the tug on his brain came again. He frowned and stood up wrapping the sheet around his waist.

"This tug isn't going away! I say we go and get this stupid thing then come back here and, I don't know… Mate more?" Jack's face was beat red as Seth turned around from digging through the closet and gave him a giant grin. Kabira rolled her eyes and grumbled about having the scratching stop before she hopped off the bed. Jack turned and walked out of the room going into his own bedroom and searching for some clothes.

Finding a pair of tight black pants and a tight blue t-shirt with a design of one of the monsters of his game, that spanned the front, side, and back of the shirt. The monster was a four headed beast, part lion (one head and one paw), part hawk (wings, one head, and a claw), part dog (one head, one paw), and part lizard (one claw, the tail, and a head). He quickly ran his fingers threw his hair before heading towards the guest bedroom again.

Seth was sitting on the bed tying on his new black steal toe boots. He was wearing a pair of black leather pants, a long sleeved fishnet shirt with a long trench coat over top of all of it. His hair had completely dried already and was now flowing in the slight breeze from the open window. Jack caught him self from drooling and walked into the room. He kneeled in front of Seth and laid his head down on the man's knee.

"Shall we take my car? The shrine isn't to far from here and there's a road that leads right to it." Seth nodded his head at Jack's question and stood up before helping Jack to stand and placing a kiss to the boy's forehead.

"If you wish to take your vehicle we may." Seth motioned for Kabira to follow them and Jack, Seth, and the giant leopard left the house and went into the garage. Jack quickly unlocked the car doors and pulled his seat forward to let Kabira hop into the back seat. After climbing in, he handed a pair of sunglasses to Seth before placing a pair on his own face. He pressed the button to lower the roof before pressing the button to open the garage door. Once the door was open, Jack backed out of the garage and then pressed the button to close the door. Once that was down Jack quickly sped off down the road heading towards the road that would lead him up to the shrine.

Wuya hated the sand, she had never understood why under that moment though. She was currently kneeling in the sand of the beach the portal had opened up to, digging through the sand to locate the Shen Gong Wu. Chase was sitting near by on a rock with his eyes closed and seemed to be in meditation. A few of Chase's jungle cats were also digging in the sand, but so far none of them had come up with anything.

Wuya stopped suddenly as she watched Chase's eyes pop open. Loud voices were filling the air, voicing Wuya knew all to well. The Xiaolin Monks were on the beach and heading towards them. Wuya leap to her feet and ran over to where Chase had stood up. The two of them knew that if the Monks were hear their chances of getting the Wu were almost none.

Without warning Wuya had turned from Chase and ran behind him up the mountain path towards where a small road lead up the volcano. Chase growled before turning and running after her, his cats following after him. If they had any luck at all on their side right now, it would let them get to the Shen Gong Wu first.

Jack leaned back against the door to the shrine as Seth walked up the small incline to look over Kilauea. Kabira was curled up at Jack's feet staring down the road they had just driven up. Jack looked down at the leopard before throwing up the small red stone in his hand. It was the size of a normal tennis ball and looked like a ball of harden magma. Jack caught the stone on its way back down and watched as a panting Wuya took the last few steps to the shrine.

"Well, look what we have her. A ragged old used up piece of haggish Heylin magic." Jack looked down at Kabira who let out a purr mixed with a laugh. Jack smiled brightly and watched as Wuya's green eyes widened.

Wuya fought to catch her breath from the run up the hill, behind her she heard the screams from Kimiko and Clay who had been unlucky enough to have to face Chase's jungle cats. Omi and Raimundo were still hot on her and Chase's trail. The Overlord jumped and landed neatly next to Wuya, his back was turned to the shrine and watched as Omi and Raimundo caught up to him and Wuya.

"It looks as if we are first Monks. To bad for you." Chase turned to face Wuya and frowned seeing the stunned look on her face. He growled towards her before pushing her towards the shrine. "Wuya, get The Fire Seed. I shall deal with the Monks."

"I'm afraid you're to late Young. The Fire Seed belongs to me." The voice that reached Chase's ears was to familiar for Chase to ignore it. He slowly turned and watched as both Omi's and Raimundo's faces lit up in giant smiles. Wuya's face was still stuck in a look of shock, and Chase's soon joined it. Standing just a few feet away leading against the door frame for the shrine was known other than Jack Spicer.

"Spicer dude!" Raimundo shouted and raced past the stunned Chase and Wuya. He was about to wrap the former boy genius in a giant hug when a deep growl stopped him in his tracks. Raimundo looked down and his own eyes widened. Sitting at Jack's feet was the biggest leopard Raimundo had ever seen. And the worst part was, the leopard looked about ready to eat him.

"Jack Spicer, it has been far to long. You have been well I hope." Omi's voice was soft and Jack found himself softening his smirk. He noticed the ugly scar along the boys throat and wondered briefly who had given it to him. The Dragon of the Water dared not to get to close to Jack because of Kabira sitting at his feet.

"You know how it is. Made a few video games. Bought a Hawaiian Island. Made my own dream home. Met the man of my dreams. The easy life." He threw the stone of magma into the air once more and smiled as Clay and Kimiko came running past a still stunned Chase and Wuya. "Well now it seems the whole gang is here. I'm guessing that Hannibal is hiding himself under your skirt Wuya?"

"But… How… Why… When… Where… Huh?" Jack rolled his eyes as Wuya stuttered, her mouth hanging open in awe. To her eyes, Jack had turned into some sort of Island God, his tan skin setting off the snow white of his hair and his charmingly way to bright smile. Jack lifted up the hand that wasn't holding the Wu and took off his sunglasses. His ruby eyes locked with dark gold and he felt his smirk widen.

"How am I here? Well I drove up the road you just ran up. Why am I here? Oh no real reason, except of course to pass the time between taking over the world and my new video game. When did I get here? Oh I'd say about ten minutes before any of you. I'm not sure what where question you want to ask though." Jack laughed softly and heard Kabira's purr laugh with him. Jack felt Chase's gaze on him and the leopard and watched as one of the jungle cats walked closer to the leopard. Jack smirked widened into a deadly glare towards Chase when the lion that had approached Kabira took a swipe at her.

Before anyone could react however a quick swipe from Kabira's own paw sent the lion's head rolling towards Chase's feet. The deadly turned into an "if you could be turned to stone. You would be dust right now," glare. Kabira licked at her now bloodied paw and Jack stood up straight.

"It would be wise Chase Young, to not attempt to harm my family members." The Overlord took a step back as a dark figure appeared behind Jack suddenly. Jack leaned back into the strong chest as Seth wrapped his arms around Jack's waist. Raimundo looked over to see Kimiko on the verge of a schoolgirl squeak, and could already tell her mind was racing at the thought of Jack and the man behind him. Omi looked confused at first but a quick whisper from Clay made his face light up in a smile none of them had seen in years. Clay had crossed his arms over his chest and was leaning towards Raimundo. Wuya looked like someone had just thrown a giant rock on top of her, her normally dark skin had gone ghostly pale, and her bright green eyes had clouded over completely.

"Spicer, what did you do?" Chase's voice was a mere whisper, but his voice was full of a fear Jack had never heard before. Jack tilted his head up to look at Seth and felt his breath catch in his throat. The bright gold eyes he had so easily fell in love with, were glaring daggers towards Chase. Jack watched as those eyes trained on him and softened instantly. Seth gave him a soft smile before looking over towards the Monks. Jack turned his attention back to Chase and smirked.

"To tell you the truth Young, I didn't do much more than lay on my back and spread my legs." He watched as both Wuya's and Chase's eyes got wide and both started to back away again. Jack shook his head and made a gesture with his hand calling them over. A glow appeared around both of the Heylin Warriors and Jack smiled as they were brought closer to him. "Now it's not polite to walk away when having a conversation." Jack pointed to the ground and watched with a bright smile as both of the people in front of him were forced to their knees. Jack heard a soft laugh come from his feet area and looked down to see Kabira looking up at him.

"It seems you have found another of your powers Jack. You seem to be a telekinetic. Capable of moving things, and in this case people, with your mind." Kabira nuzzled her head against Jack's leg and he smiled towards her before looking back to Chase and Wuya. Both were looking at HIM with true fear. He was marveling in it when a throat was cleared behind him. He looked up and felt himself melting at the loving look Seth was giving him.

"Care to introduce your friends Jonathan?" Seth motioned to the four Xiaolin Warriors standing off to the side. Jack nodded his head and leaned into Seth more, moving the magma rock around with both of his hands.

"These are the Xiaolin Dragons. The Dragon of Earth, Clay; The Dragon of Wind, Raimundo; The Dragon of Fire, Kimiko; and last but not least, The Dragon of Water; Omi." Jack pointed to each dragon and waited until they said quick hello, or in Kimiko's case burst into a fit of giggles. Omi stepped forward and bowed slightly to both Seth and Jack, an action that truly shocked Jack.

"It is an honor to meet Jack Spicer's most loved one." Seth smiled at the Dragon of the Water before holding Jack closer to his body. Jack looked down at the Wu in his hands before tossing the stone towards Omi.

"I don't really need the Shen Gong Wu anymore, and have no where to put them. So if you don't mind, I plan to continue to find them but then hand them over to you. It'll make life more interesting between my past times." Omi nodded his head before Wuya, who had snapped out of her daze enough to break Jack's hold, yanked the stone from his hands. Jack watched with an amused expression as Wuya ran down the hill towards the beach. Chase hot on her tails. The Xiaolin Dragons screamed after them but Kabira stopped them from chasing after them.

"If we don't go now they will surely get away!" Omi stared at Jack and frowned as he watched the boy close his eyes. A moment later a loud scream was heard and then two bodies landed in front of Jack. Wuya stood up and reached for the dropped Wu but Jack was quicker. As their hands touched the Wu is glowed a bright red. Jack rolled his eyes as Wuya smirked.

"Well Jackie boy, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My Golden Tiger claws against, what every you have." Wuya knew she had him. Jack had no Shen Gong Wu in his possession. He had given them all to the Xiaolin Warriors. Omi stepped forward and handed over the Monkey Staff to Jack but Jack just shook his head.

"I choice to fight without Wu." Wuya's face dropped but nodded her head nonetheless. She tilted her head to the side to see Chase glaring at Jack and the Xiaolin Dragons. "What's the challenge Hag? Or is your age catching up to you and your lost what little mind you had to begin with." Wuya fumed before standing up stilling holding onto the Wu, Jack followed her movements with narrowed eyes.

"The challenge you little back stabbing ingrate, is to destroy the most sandcastles in five minutes. The one who destroys the most gets both Wu!" Jack nodded his head and watched as the sand around their feet rose up over the mountains, he had forgot what it was like to be in a Showdown. The ground beneath himself and Wuya shuttered once and hundreds of small sandcastles shot up out of the sand. Above their heads, clouds had appeared and had formed a timer of sorts. Jack smirked and closed his eyes. Kabira said that his powers would activate when he needed them too. Well he needed them now.

"Gong Ye Tempai!" Both Wuya and Jack shouted and Wuya was off, using the Golden Tiger claws, she leap from one castle to the next stomping out any and all castles in her way. Jack remained in place, his eyes closed and his body relaxed. He heard Omi, Clay, Raimundo, and Kimiko all shouting him on.

"What's he doing? He's going to lose if he doesn't move!" Raimundo was fuming. Jack Spicer was going to get his ass kicked. His first showdown in years and he was getting his ass handed to him. Raimundo looked over to Seth and frowned when he seen the smile on his face.

"Just watch Dragon of the Wind. Jack had just tapped into another of his powers. I believe you are going to enjoy this." Kabira lay down on the sand and watched as Jack's ruby eyes snapped opened. An eerie yellow light appeared around Jack's hands and he held them outwards. The sand's started to stir and a harsh wind started to blow. Jack clenched his hands and as the clock ticked down to the final seconds, the sand that made up about a million castles flattened out completely.

A loud buzzer noise was heard and the Dragon's as shouted loudly as the Tiger Claws and The Fire Seed flew into Jack's awaiting hands. As the sands went back to normal Seth leap towards Jack and caught the boy as Jack sagged backwards. He looked extremely exhausted, but the smile on his face showed how proud he was of himself.

"A voice said that I had a mixture of elements. Said it couldn't choose one, so it gave me all of them." Jack's voice was soft and the dragons that had come to stand by him had to strain to hear him. Seth kissed his forehead and watched as Jack slipped into unconsciousness. He lifts Jack up in his arms and watched Chase start to yell at Wuya for losing a Shen Gong Wu. Seth turned his back to them and looked into the faces of the four Xiaolin monks, a soft smile on his face.

"I believe Jonathan would have liked all of you to company us back to our home. When he awakens you may speak more about what has happened." Seth turned and headed for where Jack had parked his car. Kabira stayed behind and watched as Raimundo and Kimiko flanked Seth on either side, both staying silent but questions burning brightly in their eyes. Clay followed behind them trying to reassure a trembling green dragon that everything was okay. Omi however had stayed back with Kabira.

"Something bothering you Dragon of the Water?" Omi looked down to the leopard and sighed heavily. He had so many questions running through his mind, and none seemed to be appropriate enough for this time. Omi shook his head and headed towards the direction in which the rest of his friends went.

"It is just good to see Jack Spicer again." Placing a hand on his neck he focused his attention on the people surrounding the sports car ahead of him. Kabira stayed silent as she walked along side the dragon. She knew that things were going to be very interesting when Jack woke up. She hoped the boy had popcorn in his house. She was going to need it.
