Hello everyone. This story is a sequel to the Dragon of Lighting by KelseyAlicia. In the second half of this trilogy the remaining six dragons will be found and the Xiaolin Monks must face new challenges from both The Royal Heylin Family and Chase Young while learning to work together. New friendships will be formed as well as new loves as you'll find out more of the history between the two sides. The second story covers season two and there will be exactly fourteen chapters. One chapter to introduce the dragon, a season two episode for them, and finally a two-part covering of the finale. Please send your reviews. This story starts where the last one left off.

It was exactly three weeks since the Xiaolin Dragons had returned from the Nilyeh City. They were still pretty week, but at least they were able to train again. Or they would be if they weren't complaining to Master Fung about Jack.

"But Master Fung you can't be serious! Why should Jack be allowed to bring all his robots and stuff from his evil lair here?" Raimundo whined.

"Hey back off. If I'm going to be staying here with the rest of you Dragons, the very least you can let me do is have my stuff. All you got to bring your stuff here so why can't I have my robots? Besides we can finally start making use of the workroom," Jack shot back as he dragged in two suitcases of robot parts.

"But Jack do you really need all of this?" Kimiko asked eyeing the Jackbots. One of them was carrying a miniature fridge, which she was sure was filled with pudding cups and ginger ale. The rest of them carried several boxes.

"Hey I'm good guy now. My Jackbots could help with the security around here or my chameleon bot can go undercover for us. Even if we don't use them I still would love to tinker with them," Jack explained as he finished setting up his stall.

"As long as you don't tinker while the rest of us are trying to sleep, you can blow up the Temple for all I care," Lu said in her typical badass voice.

"Your one to talk Lu. With all your late night extreme sports it's a wonder were not all counting sheep," Clay pointed out.

"Oh do people really count sheep to sleep?" Omi asked.

Before anyone could respond Master Fung cleared his throat. The six dragons turned to face him. "If you are done chatting young monks I would like to see you in the mediation hall. We have much to discuss about your future my apprentices." With that he turned and left with the monks following him. Once there they all sat down in a circle waiting for him to speak.

"Master Fung we were wondering if what you wish to discuss with us has anything to do with what happened three weeks ago in the Nilyeh City? Xiaowei's spirit said that you be able to tell us more about the situation," Omi said.

"Yeah I how bad did I screw up when I used the Xiaowei Dragon Star?" Lu asked gazing at the medallion, which Master Fung had removed from his shirt.

"I'm afraid it does my young monks. As you know the Xiaowei Dragon Star is a very powerful Wu being the first one ever created. When used correctly it unites the twelve chi's in perfect harmony. Once correctly balanced it can use the chi energy to perform near miracles. Because of Lu's inexperience and that she is not a Master Monk, the chi energy went wild causing many bad things to happen," Master Fung began.

"I remember that. It was like a stampeding heard of cattle, the energy was way out of control." Clay said.

"Not to mention if what Dashi told us is true, Valonia's curse has been lifted. Not to mention Wuya has her body back and the chi barrier that kept the Nilyeh City imprisoned is gone," Kimiko said heavily.

"Don't forget the good part. The energy the built up over the past 1500 years is practically gone. They're very weak right now. So weak they can't attack us for awhile," Jack said trying to cheer them up.

"But what about us? Why do we still feel so weak and tired? It is almost like I'm empty. Does it having anything to do with the splitting of our light halves from our dark halves?" Omi questioned.

"Yes and that is what is most concerning. A person should never be divided in half. Without yin and yang we become unbalance. You must be very careful now that you are incomplete. The Heylin Dragons still have all the powers you had when you were evil and their loyalty to Valonia and her family making them very dangerous. Also their stronger and more powerful then you are, because they came from your yang side. Do not think this means that they don't have weakness. Since they are not naturally born they aren't truly alive and can be killed easily. They cannot deal with human emotions and will struggle to fit in society. Their greatest weakness is that they must be near a Heylin source of evil to exist. The longest they can be away is two and half-hours. You also have several strengths. One; you are truly alive so you can exist anywhere for any length of time. While you may not be as powerful or strong as them you are smarter. However you must learn to keep your darker emotions in check otherwise you'll be overwhelmed by them."

"Since it's not natural for a person to exist like this, you must somehow reabsorb your Heylin side. However that may be very difficult. Valonia will no doubt be planning a way to bring about the destruction of the Xiaowlin Side. If we are to combat her team we must bring in reinforcements. We must find the remaining six Dragons," Master Fung stated.

"How are we supposed to find them? The Scroll of the Twelve Dragons only reveals a new Dragon if their elemental power emerges," Omi pointed out.

"With all the new evil floating around it will only be a matter of time before the remaining Dragons emerge. Once the scroll reveals the person you must all go and bring them back here where they are safe from evil. Since the Heylin side has become stronger they will be unconsciously at apprentice level my monks," Master Fung replied.

Before the Dragons could ask anymore questions Dojo came scurrying in carrying the Scroll of the Twelve Dragons. "Look alive people we've got another Dragon being revealed. Watch out whoa. That scroll has a mind of its own," he said as the scroll levitated into the air. It rolled open revealing the information of the next Dragon. The Chinese symbol for gravity lit up and the information for the next Dragon was revealed. What they saw shocked them, especially Omi.

"Jermaine Cook! My friend from New York City is a Dragon! This is most unexpected," Omi exclaimed.

"I don't know that guy had some sweet skills. He kicked my butt in that showdown remember?" Jack pointed out.

"Doesn't everyone kick your butt when it comes to showdown?" Raimundo asked jokingly before getting smacked by Lu.

"We should get going. We have a lot of work to do if were going to get to Jermaine before the forces of evil do," Omi said as the others rushed off.

A few minutes later the six monks were flying away on Dojo. Each of them carrying their favorite Shen Gong Wu plus the Jet Bootsu and Mantis Flip Coin. Master Fung watched them go hoping that nothing went wrong. There was much he still hadn't revealed to them. When all twelve dragons were assembled then he would be able to reveal the whole truth to his apprentices. Until then he hid the medallion once again and went to set up a schoolroom for the monks, knowing the parents of the new Dragons would want to continue their education.

Back in the Nilyeh City Valonia was sitting in her throne room with Wuya standing next to her, listening to San give her report. "We have regained control of the citizens finally my Empress. The normal routine of things has been reestablished. I've sent my best guards to guard the mouth of the city incase the Xiaolin Monks return to finish us off. Once we've regained our strength our people will be ready to follow your lead in conquering the world."

"Thank you San, continue with your duties. Report to me if anything changes. You are dismissed," Valonia told the young girl. San nodded and disappeared. Sighing the Heylin Empress got up and walked over to gaze at herself in her full-length mirror. Since regaining her beauty back she hadn't stopped gazing herself.

The tall willowy women had long flaming red hair that went down to her feet. It flew around her body in a non-existent breeze. Her tan skin, emerald eyes with the markings, pointed fangs and ears all accented her beauty. Her royal purple kimono showed all her curves and lots of cleavage. The Wolf Eye Pendent and Royal Key were pinned to her breast. Her gold bracelets and anklet jangled when she walked. "Tell me something Wuya dear, why are you acting so strangely? You should be celebrating with the rest of us. We have much to be thankful for."

Wuya, whose only difference in appearance is she wore her Royal Key on a chain, responded. "Mother while I'm thrilled to be normal again, that doesn't change our problem. What do you propose we do about it?"

Valonia waved her hand and a hidden staircase appeared behind the throne. The two women started walking down to the pools to meet up with Meribor who was working with the Heylin Dragons or doppelgangers to be more precise. "Daughter don't think I've forgotten our little problem. I know how dangerous it is to have only half of a person. Despite them being totally loyal to our family and evil they are not truly alive. We can't accomplish any of our goals this way. But we mustn't be discouraged. If we are to rule the world we must take it one step at a time. Ah Meribor how are things progressing with our little army?"

The High Priestess turned from her work. For the past three weeks she had been nursing the Heylin Dragons in the pools and giving them a special elixir to stabilize them. She was still very worried. If they died no one knew what would happen. "Hello Mother, things are as they can be expected. They are ready for action, but I warn you it might be to soon. I hate to admit, but without their good halves we can't take over the Temple and spread the Flame's power. The only way we can truly defeat the Xiaolin side is if we weaken their side enough for our Dragons to reabsorb them. Only then can we accomplish our goals. I hate to admit it, but we need help."

"Meribor is right Mother. Things have changed greatly in the past 1520 years since you've been free. While we are restricted from attacking until two Blue Moons have passed our little army can. However they will need an evildoer to stay stable in the real world. Ah!" Wuya screamed.

"What is it Wuya? What are you sensing?" demanded Valonia asked.

"Another Xiaolin Dragon has been revealed! The Dragon of Gravity! This could be our chance to gain another Dragon for our cause. If only we could move about!" Wuya snapped.

"I have a plan, come with me everyone. Were going to pay a visit to an old friend of Dashi's. If everything goes according to plan will have a new partner that will be quiet helpful to us," Valonia said teleporting everyone in the room away from the city and reappearing near the mouth of an ancient Citadel.

While the doppelgangers and Meribor stared at the Citadel in confusion Wuya knew instantly where they were. She looked at her mother as if she lost her mind. "Chase Young?! You want to ask the Prince of Darkness for help? Mother he is a male and a former Xiaolin Dragon! This is beneath us!"

"Calm yourself Wuya. You always were temperamental. Its time you and your sister learn about negotiating with men and forming strong alliances with new allies. Come, I believe he is expecting us," Valonia told her eldest as the door opened and the Royal Family walked in.

Once inside they were greeted by hundreds of jungle cats all ready to pounce on them. Standing on the top platform waiting to see them was a smirking Chase Young. "Empress Valonia of the Nilyeh City, may I say I'm surprised too see you here. What can I do for you?"

"The question is what we can do for each other. I would like to discuss the terms of an alliance. Shall we?"

"Why would I align myself with women who depended to much on magic and not enough on their own skill? Besides if the rumors are true you still haven't regained your full powers. I'm not interested in anything you have to say. Cats escort them out now," Chase replied leaving. The jungle cats started to stalk them, but Valonia would have none of this.

"I don't recall dismissing you young man! Girls defend the Dragons. I'll take care of Mr. Young. Wolf Eye Pendent!" she shouted releasing the twelve elemental wolves. Instantly the two packs of creatures were at each other's throats. While Wuya and Meribor defended the kids Valonia appeared in front of Chase.

"If you truly believe that I'm weak and depend on my magic too much, then please prove so now," Valonia commanded as she landed a hard blow on his shoulder. The Prince of Darkness reacted with Monkey Strike, which she countered perfectly with Repulse the Monkey. They continued to fight until she had successfully pinned him to the wall. "Care to talk now?"

"I believe I am open to negations now. You've proven yourself worthy in my eyes. Bring your family to my dinning table, I was just about to finish lunch."

Once everyone was seated Valonia began to explain her plan. "As you know my daughters and I along with every citizen in our fair city are unable to attack the monks until two Blue Moons have passed. Thanks to Wuya's being freed this rare occurrence will happen with in the next two months. But until then we can't accomplish our goals."

"Your goals seem to involve turning the Chosen Ones evil by having their doppelgangers reabsorb them, destroying the Temple and converting it for evil, and conquering the world. Pray tell how does any of this involve me and these new Dragons that are appearing?" Chase asked sipping his soup.

"Its simple Chase. I need your help in getting the remaining Dragons on my side. Even if I can't have a whole dragon I'll settle for half and I'll tell you why. With you training my Heylin Dragons and my daughters using their skills it will be easy to weaken their Xiaolin side. It might cause difficulties, but in the end it will be worth it. Because once that's done conquering the world shouldn't be to hard. I'll even give you an incentive. Ouza report!" she snapped.

Instantly the Heylin Omi (who looked exactly like the one from the show except for the word OUZA tattooed to his forehead) appeared next to Valonia. "What is your bidding my Empress? Please tell me what I can do to show you I'm top cat!"

"That's dog you idiot. Demonstrate your skills for Mr. Young will you?" Valonia purred. Nodding Heylin Omi did as he was told showing off a remarkable display of moves and doing so without mercy.

"Impressive. I've often scoured the world searching for great warriors to serve me. Perhaps this one can become my apprentice. I can see the benefits of working with you. What are the terms of this deal?"

Valonia snapped her fingers and a contract appeared in front of the group. It was precise and to the point. "It's your standard deal and I'll admit it can be changed when it comes to gray areas, but I think you like this deal. You agree to become my family's ally and help us get the all twelve dragons turned. While during this duration you train the Heylin Dragons and assist my daughters with any difficulties that arise. Once the twelve dragons have helped us take over the temple and the world we will divide the spoils in half. You get to rule half the world, all the men, and have the little Ouza as your own. My family on the other hand will have the Xiaolin Temple and Nilyeh City, all the females, and the remaining eleven dragons. Do we have an agreement?" Valonia asked holding out a pen dripping in her own blood.

"Yes for now I'll be a mentor and errand boy, but don't think you can walk all over me. We are equals in this partnership and the terms can be renegotiated at any time. Now what do you need me to do first?" Chase asked signing in his own blood.

"The Dragon of Gravity has been revealed. Bring him back here either whole or half. You'll find him in New York City," Wuya explained.

"Take this with you," Meribor said throwing a medallion towards Chase. He caught it and examined it. Hanging on a silver chain was the symbol of the Heylin side encased in a dragon mouth. "This is the Heylin Dragon Star. It has the same properties as the Xiaowei Dragon Star, but it can only be used for evil purpose."

"Thank you, I will be off now. Please feel free to stay as long as you like. My cats will take good care of you, Just don't touch anything," Chase implored them as he vanished leaving the women alone to think about their successful future.

Meanwhile the Xiaolin Monks were flying above Manhattan. "I'm just saying that I felt like Master Fung wasn't telling us the whole story about our other sides. It seemed to me there is more to the story then he's letting on," Lu said as she clutched tightly to Dojo. Her leather jacket and tight fitting jeans made it hard to stay on Dojo. She rubbed her wrist were the Xiowmei Bracelet hung. She had disguised it by using Jack's new nanobots so she wouldn't have to give it up just yet.

"Yeah, but how are you going to make spill the beans? Its not like you can threaten him," Jack pointed out.

"Enough chit chat little doggies. Looks like we've arrived," Clay said as Dojo touched down. "Man it feels strange looking for a person and not a Shen Gong Wu."

"Tell me about, but it least we won't have to Showdown for Jermaine. This should be an easy mission," Raimundo pointed out.

"Yeah if your definition is trying to find one kid in a city with six million people. Dojo can't you just sense where Jermaine is like you do with the Wu?" Kimiko asked.

"Sorry, but tracking down Wu is a lot simpler then people. I don't know why Dashi never taught me how to sense potential Dragons," Dojo said.

"Then I guess we will have to do this the hard way. Come my friends we must check every inch of the city for Jermaine!" Omi stated.

"Uh guys I don't think we have to resort to that. Why don't we just look him up in the phone book?" Lu suggested walking to a payphone and thumbing through the pages.

"I guess that works to. So have you got an address for us?" Kimiko asked. Lu nodded and gave it to her. Using Kimono's PDA they were able to figure out the fastest route to Jermaine's apartment. They hopped a bus heading for downtown Manhattan not realizing they were being followed.

"So are you guys going to tell me a bit more about this guy or not?" Lu asked. She was curious to know about this guy who had helped Omi win the Serpents Tail.

"Jermaine is a good friend and good person. He helped me out when some bullies where challenging me. While he knows the strangest slang and is a city boy, his mean skills on the court make up for his lack of martial art skills. I wonder if he even remembers me," Omi mused.

"After our little encounter with him? I reckon that kid thinks that everything strange for New York is normal," Clay said.

"Well I hope he doesn't try to use my head as a basketball. That kid wasn't to fond of me last time we met," Jack said fiddling around with a new device.

"Were here everyone off. Now does anyone have a clue what were going to tell Jermaine? We can't be like 'Dude its nice to see you again. How's life been treating you? Oh by the way you're the Xiaolin Dragon of Gravity and we need you to come back to our Temple with us. Yeah like that's really going to fly," Raimundo said as they trudged up the stairs to Jermaine's apartment.

"Perhaps I should handle this. After all he is my friend," Omi suggested knocking on the door. The door opened revealing a petite woman. She greatly resembled Jermaine. "Yes may I help you?"

"Hello my name is Omi. I'm a friend of Jermaine's from the Xiaolin Temple in China. I have urgent news I must discuss with him. Is he here?"

"So your Omi. My son told me much about you. And the rest of you must be his friends that he mentioned. You don't know how happy I am to see Jermaine making friends. He isn't here right now. He went to the new community center five blocks down to shoot some hoops. If you hurry you'll catch him," Mrs. Cook said. Omi thanked her and the group set off for the community center. No one noticed the dark shadow lurking nearby.

A few minutes later they arrived at the community center. They soon located Jermaine. He stood out greatly with his three point shots. It was almost like he was walking on air he stayed up so long. "Oh yah. Who is the man!"

"You are my friend. Jermaine! It is so good to see you!" Omi said running over to his friend and giving him a high five.

"Omi dawg its great to see you again. What you doing in the big city? You after another one of your mystical Shen Gong Wu?" Jermaine asked.

"Not exactly. We came because of you young man," Dojo said slithering up to him.

"Why did you want to see me? Hey who's the street thug and why is that loser hanging with you guys. Level with me Omi dawg, why are you here?" Jermaine asked.

"I think it's best if we discuss this back at your place. Come on will explain the best we can on the way back," Kimiko said impatiently. She wasn't pleased with him calling her boyfriend a loser.

The seven kids and dragon were walking home explaining the situation to their friend. He was in disbelief finding out that he was the Dragon of Gravity and that things had gotten worse since they last seen each other. Still he was reluctant to leave everything he knew to go train. "I don't know you guys. What you're telling me sounds something I would read about in the National Inquire. If you look at it from my point of view I just am a good jumper, I don't really defy gravity."

"Give me a break Jermaine. We all saw you practicing. Your moves could only be possible with elemental help," Jack snapped.

Before he could respond both Rai and Lu stopped in there tracks. The others looked at them confused. They were only a block from Jermaine's home, but those two weren't budging an inch. "Rai! Lu! What's the matter my friends? Are you hurt?" Omi inquired.

"Something's wrong, very wrong," Lu whispered.

"We need to get out of here now! There's a great evil nearby and we don't want to tangle with it," Rai said getting out the Sword of the Storm.

"What are you two fraidy cats talking about? There's no evil anywhere nearby. That is unless you count all the normal street thugs you find in these parts," Clay said.

"You should listen to your friends. Believe me when I say that you are not ready to deal with me," a voice said stepping out from the alley. The kids took a few steps back as they gazed at handsome man in Oriental armor.

"Chase Young!" both Jack and Dojo said in unison. The rest of the kids looked at them confused.

"Dojo who is Chase Young?" Omi asked curious. He eyed the man waiting for him to strike, but he wasn't doing anything. If anything he was just standing then waiting for the little dragon to explain what was going on.

"Chase use to be a Chosen One. He was the first Dragon of Water. In fact he was one of Dashi's handpicked students. Dashi thought that he would take over as Grandmaster of the temple after him. But that's when things went screwy," Dojo began.

"Yeah I don't know what happen for certain, but according to Heylin Monthly he's super powerful. I mean he knows every martial arts move ever invented and he's the self proclaimed Prince Of Darkness. We really don't want to get messed up with him," Jack whimpered.

"What are you guys a bunch of weaklings? Hello he's just a girly dude in some cheap armor. We can take him," Lu said brashly.

"As much as I would enjoy fighting you little monks I have more important matters to deal with. I have come for the Dragon of Gravity and I don't intend to leave this pathetic city until I get him. So step aside," Chase told them taking a step towards.

"Guys run! Get Jermaine out of here, will hold him off!" Rai said taking a defense stance along with Lu.

"But," Jermaine started to protest before Omi grabbed his arm and started pulling the young hotshot away. "We must flee quickly! The others can take care of themselves. We must keep you safe," he said as they took off running.

Chase watched them run off with a smirk on his face. "You realize that it doesn't matter where they flee in this city, I will find them."

"Not if we stop you first. No way are you getting Jermaine," Lu growled pulling out the Eye of Dashi.

"You think you can stop me? Even with your Shen Gong Wu you are no match for me. But if you insist on fighting me then go ahead. Show me what you Xiaolin Dragons can do," Chase said getting into a defensive stance.

"Typhoon Boom Wind!" Rai said shouting his elemental attack. The wind whirled around him and shot straight at Chase. He didn't even blink, just held his ground allowing the wind to blow around him. Rai looked at him in a panic.

"Is that the best you can do?" Chase asked amused.

"No its not. You may be able to withstand the wind, but can you deal with pure electricity? Electric Fury Lighting!" Lu cried releasing a build up of energy at the ancient warrior. He merely jumped out of the way.

"My turn. Let me show you what a true warriors power can do. Lion Tackling Hyena, Buzzard Circling Carcass, Monkey Strike!" The two Xiaolin Dragons tried to protect themselves with their Wu, but his moves cut them down. In a quickly flurry of fast jabs he separated their Wu from them and hurled them into a wall. "You disgust me. You're so pathetic as warriors. How you can be Xiaolin Apprentices I'll never know. Excuse me I have business to attended to," He said as he started to leave.

Raimundo and Lu staggered to their feet. They were badly hurt and angry. Their eyes lit up and the mark of the Heylin side that had been cut into their palm glowed. Chase didn't even notice as faint green glow surrounded them flickering almost like a flame.

In deep echoing voice Raimundo held out his palms and called out, "Heylin Flames Encircle!" A ring of emerald flames trapped the three warriors. Chase turned just as Lu let loose a Heylin Energy blast which sent the Prince of Darkness flying.

Both kids started at each in disbelief? How did they use powers that clearly belonged to the side of evil? Neither of them was able to voice their concerns. Within seconds they were unconscious victims of Chase Young. "So you two were the ones blooded by Valonia's daughters. I can't wait to become you evil half's teacher. I really must be going."

A little while later Lu came to. She was dizzy and bit woozy. "Man I feel like I ate to many chili peppers to fast. What happened? Raimundo? Rai! Wake up come on! Chase is gone!"

"I'm up man did you catch the number of the bus that ran us over. Never mind what's important is finding the others. We can question Master Fung later about what happened," Rai told her.

"If there is a later. We have no idea where that cheese head took the group. If we don't find them were talking about the end of the world here. Man I wish we had some way to track them!" Lu said angrily.

"Maybe we do. Don't you remember how we both felt that tingling sensation when Chase was near? Maybe we can use that to find the others. The stronger the tingle, the closer we are to our friends. Now all we need is some transport. Got any idea?"

Lu thought about for a second. She then spied a group of biker at a bar arguing with one another. "Give me five minutes and I'll have you some transport." Rai could only watch in stunned disbelief as Lu strutted over to the bikers and negotiate with them for a bike. By negotiating that meant Lu fought the leader in fight and won by kneeing him in the balls. She took his bike and revved the engine. "You coming?" Rai only shook his head and got on the bike barely getting the helmet on before she zoomed down the streets.

Meanwhile the others had managed to find an empty lot to catch their breath in. "I think were safe here for now. We must find Raimundo and Lu and quickly flee this city," Omi said in between breaths.

"We can't just leave my hometown! What about my family? What's going to happen to them if we just leave town? How do we know that punk won't rough them up to get to me?" Jermaine demanded angrily.

"I think a better question was how he found us in the first place. I mean not even Dojo can sense Chosen Ones. How did this guy find Jermaine?" Kimiko wondered.

"Kimiko's right. Something smells funny then a skunk here," Clay said.

Suddenly an evil laughter filled the air. The monks looked everywhere trying to find the source of the unnatural laughter, but couldn't pinpoint. Suddenly a rusty iron bar rose from the air shooting straight at their heads. The monks jumped out the way barely avoiding having it hit them in the head. "Show yourself Chase Young!" Omi cried out.

"Oh believe me I'm not Chase. I'm far more powerful and deadly then that demon. In fact I'm here by my mother's request to make sure that he does his job," said Heylin Rai as he detached himself from the shadows. Before they could react a double of Rai came up from behind imprisoning all the monks, but Jermaine. The double placed the Mantis Flip Coin between the two before rejoining his other half. "So your the newest Dragon. I'm sure Chase will have no trouble taking care of you. Still I like to have a chance at you. What do you say we have a Xiaolin Showdown right now? My Golden Tiger Claws against your Jet Bootsu. I won't even use my Wu just to give you an even chance?"

"You talk a tough game boy. Let's see if you have the skills to back up your mouth. Fine I'll play your game, but if I win you leave me alone understand?" Jermaine said grabbing a hold of the coin. Heylin Rai also grabbed it noting Chase had arrived.

"The name of the game is Personal Combat. First person to take out their opponent wins. Let's go Xiaolin Showdown. Gong Ye Temp Pi!" Heylin Rai shouted as the lot was converted into a sports arena. Instantly Jermaine was dressed in Xiaolin Robes with an Apprentice sash.

Instantly the two opponents were at each other's throats. Heylin Rai attack with vicious rounds of kicks, hits, and jumps that left Jermaine barely standing. "Why are you even fighting me? Give into the Heylin Side. Its your destiny to bring pain and sorrow to the world."

"Shut your mouth homme. Ain't nobody going to tell me what my destiny is, but me. Hiyah!" Jermaine said trying a sweep kick, but missing him as Heylin Rai used his power of wind to lift himself out of the way.

"I don't think you realize this buddy, but my skills are far greater then yours. Take my special skill for example. Not only do I have the ability to control my element, but I can manipulate the other eleven as well!" He replied thrusting his arm forward and sending a bolt of hot lighting at him. Jermaine barely got out of the way in time.

"Jermaine you mustn't give up! I know you can defeat him!" Omi encouraged his friend.

"Don't let him get to you! You can't resort to cheating to win otherwise he'll turn you to his side!" Jack shouted. He looked anxiously around for Lu and Raimundo hoping they get here before the showdown ended and they lost Jermaine.

"Please stop with your annoying chatter. You can't stop the Heylin Side. We will achieve all our objectives whether it's with a whole Dragon or a half. Now shut up while I defeat this wanabee," Heylin Rai said.

"I've heard quite enough from you. I mean you make think your Raimundo and all, but I know your nothing, but a poser. The real Rai wouldn't be this cruel. So now I'm going to take you out. Gravity!" Jermaine shouted with a newfound power. Instantly he grabbed Heylin Rai and hurled him over his shoulder.

The Heylin Dragon countered with a blast of wind, but Jermaine stood his ground. "Jet Bootsu Gravity!" Instantly he was in the air at the same time Heylin Rai fell to the ground tripped by a sudden change in gravity. Before he could fully recover Jermaine decided to end the Showdown. "Graviton Well Gravity!" Instantly the gravity changed all over the field and Heylin Rai was chucked out of the ring ending the Showdown.

"Alright Jermaine! You whooped his butt good!" Clay congratulated slapping him on the back.

"Talk about impressive powers. No wonder gravity is the complimentary element to wind," Kimiko exclaimed.

"Jermaine I am most impressed by your skill. I couldn't have done better myself. Well I could, but it was still as you say the boss!" Omi told his friend.

Before Jermaine could respond they heard shouting from the streets. The five kids turned to see Lu and Rai racing towards them screaming something at them, but they were to far away to hear them.

"I bet you think you think your really clever. I mean using your element against me like that. I must say I'm mildly impressed. I can see why my Mother and Grandmother want you so badly, but since you refuse to come easily will have to do this the hard way. Attack now!" Heylin Rai ordered pointing his finger at Jermaine.

"As you wish Prince. Heylin Dragon Star!" Chase shouted aiming the evil pendent at Jermaine. Instantly the boy was lifted into the air dropping his hard earned Wu. The boy was incased in a glowing green sphere and a black stream of energy wrapped around his body.

"JERMAINE! WE MUST HELP HIM!" Omi shouted, but was tackled to the ground by Rai as he jumped off the back of the bike. "Let me go! I have to help him!"

"There's nothing you can do Omi! If you try to stop the process now you'll just end up dead!" was the reply.

Jermaine screamed as the black energy entered his mouth. Instantly his insides went ice cold. A pressure built up and he felt like he was being ripped in two. His heart raced as he felt the energy suck up something from inside of him. He fainted as the energy left his mouth. The sphere dropped him to the ground and the Xiaolin Dragons raced over to their friend not noticing the black energy enter the medallion. "I believe our mission has been a success."

"Yes and I suggest we make a retreat before they strike back. I'm already very weak from the showdown and using so much power," Heylin Rai said strolling over to the Chase. He placed a hand on his shoulder with the intent of teleporting away before a voice stopped him in his tracks.

"How dare you attack my friend in such a shameful way! Have you no honor? You swore you would leave him alone if he won the showdown!" Omi questioned them angrily.

Heylin Rai looked at him amused. "I did keep my word little Ouza. I promised to leave him alone. Chase Young agreed to no such thing. If you have any complaints take them up with him."

"What is your motive in all this? What sort of reward do you get out of helping Valonia and her twisted family?"

"You'll just have to wait and see young monk. I'm sure we will meet again very soon," Chase said. With that a green flame enveloped the two evildoers taking them away.

"At least their gone. But I would give up my entire supply of steak to know what those two were up to," Clay said helping Jermaine to his feet.

"As Master Fung would say the sea is full of many mysteries and were only meant to know a few. Still he has a lot to answer for when we get back to the Temple. That is if Jermaine would consent to coming back with us," Lu said turning to the newest Chosen One.

"Yeah after the way you handle yourself there's no doubt in anyone's mind about who you are. You should really join us. I mean the Temple may not have delis, but we do have a lot of fresh air," Dojo told him.

"A little while ago I would have said no, that I'm a city boy and the Xiaolin Temple is no place for a guy like me. But after seeing how much trouble that rival gang of yours is causing and how much of a personal stake I got in this I'm definitely coming. Just let me square it with my Mom and we can get going," Jermaine told his friends who all cheered.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Cook to give her consent. After a quick demonstration of Jermaine's powers and lots of reassurances that he would write and keep up with his studies she helped him back up his stuff. Within half an hour they were saying good-bye and flying home with the newest member of the team.

Chase arrived back in his Citadel with Heylin Rai leaning against his shoulder. The doppelganger had been away from a source of great evil for nearly two hours. "While I must admit your tactics are slightly less then honorable I have to agree they get the job done nonetheless. Come your family must be waiting anxiously for the results of our little assignment."

They entered the dinning room where they saw Valonia and Wuya sitting at the table eating an assortment of deserts. Meribor was preparing a new vial of elixir for the doppelgangers, which were currently engaged in combat practice against Chase's cats. They were currently winning. "Chase welcome back. I see you brought back my son. I'm pleased to see that he isn't hurt," Wuya said hugging her boy and checking him over for wounds.

"You should know better then me that your son is an impressive warrior. They all are both the Xiaolin Dragons and your Heylin ones. Still I can't believe you sent him after me. This shows a sever lack of trust between us. I can hardly understand why you didn't believe me when I said I do what you ask," Chase asked petting one of his cats and looking at Valonia for an answer.

"It wasn't a matter of trust so much as a fact finding information. We needed confirmation you were up to the task as well as learn more about the Xiaolin Dragons current status. Also my grandson and the others needed a chance to practice their skills on worthy adversaries. If they're going to help me in achieving my families three goals, then I need to know what their capable of. That's where your evaluation comes in. You think my little army can accomplish world domination for us?" the Empress purred.

"If it is information you want then I have much to report. The Xiaolin Dragons are as you suspected, greatly weakened and having difficulties with darker emotions. They depend more on the Shen Gong Wu then their own skills to get them out of jams, which I find extremely disappointing. Also the two good halves of the Dragons of Wind and Lighting still have trace amounts of Heylin magic inside them. On the other hand your Dragon held his own in a Showdown and didn't use Wu. I'm sure with my tutelage they'll go far. As for me accomplishing my mission see for your self," he said tossing Meribor the medallion.

The young High Priestess caught the ancient medallion in midair. She waited until everyone was gathered around her in a circle before invoking the medallions power. "Heylin Dragon Star!" Instantly the black energy came shooting out of it and solidify itself in the form of a human. Within seconds an evil Jermaine complete with all the Heylin features and red curls appeared in the center of the group. "What's up my hommes? Are we ready to take out those loser Xiaolin Dragons?"

"This is perfect. Now that we have another dragon on our side we've grown even more powerful. Soon nothing will stand in our way of world domination!" Heylin Lu said with glee.

"You've done well Chase Young. I believe this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. We must return to my city for now, but I will bring the Dragons back for their training tomorrow morning. After that we can arrange a schedule. Girls gather our things were going home," Valonia said as she created a portal home. The girls gathered their things and soon everyone was gone leaving Chase to muse about his new partnership and what it would entail.

Meanwhile the Xiaolin Dragons had returned home and had just finished setting up a stall on the opposite wall for Jermaine. He was already wearing his robes and sash. "Well that's the last of my stuff man. You think I can put up a hoop on the wall outside to play basketball?"

"You'd have to ask Master Fung about that partner. After all he's the one in charge of things around these points," Clay said.

"Speaking of Master Fung where is he? I mean he's usually here to greet us," Kimiko pointed out.

"I'm right here young monks and I'm very pleased that you have accomplished your quest. Welcome to the Xiaolin Temple Jermaine Cook: Dragon of Gravity. I hope that you will enjoy your stay here and that your skills will improve greatly over time," Master Fung told Jermaine who bowed in respect.

"Thanks Master Fung I promise to train hard. But I hate to tell you that my friends mission wasn't a complete success. Some punk named Chase Young teamed up with Rai's dark side and took something from me. I don't know what it was, but it sure made me feel weird," Jermaine told him.

"Not to mention the stranger part when Rai and I managed to tap into our Heylin Powers. They weren't super powerful, but they were tough. However they drained us greatly. What's going on?" Lu demanded.

"Yeah Master Fung what aren't you telling us? My double hinted that the Heylin Side was planning something big. It would have to be if Valonia is risking separation of a person to create Heylin Dragons," Rai pointed out.

"What you have told me is most disturbing. Chase Young alone is dangerous, but aligned with the Royal Family they become nearly unstoppable. We must move cautiously through these troubling waters. As for your Heylin powers I suspected that since you were blooded as members of the Royal Family you might retain some dark powers. Don't use them unless you want to end up evil. I have no idea what our enemies are planning, we will have to wait and see," Master Fung said quietly, but no one believed him. Something wasn't quite right.

"Oh guys before I forget I have something for everyone including you Master Fung. I was working on it while we in New York, a way to help us keep in touch if we ever get separated. I call them Xiaolin Phones. I made fourteen so there's more then enough for everyone," Jack said handing each one of them a red and green phone with the Xiaolin symbol and their names on it. Everyone congratulated him.

"Now that is all settled its time to introduce a new part of our training schedule. Starting today there will be three hours set aside for school. For the first two we will study different subjects and then I will give you an hour to work on homework. Don't worry about a thing my young monks I'm a highly certified teacher. Now shall we retire to the classroom?" He asked. The monks grumbled for a while, but headed for the new classroom.

"Well nice to see a change of pace around here Master Fung, but don't you think you owe them a better explanation about what's really going on? I mean there the Chosen Ones I'm sure they can handle it," Dojo told his friend.

Master Fung clasped the Xiaowei Dragon Star underneath his shirt and breathed in deeply. "Now isn't the right time for the truth Dojo. I must be sure they can handle the burden before they learn the whole story. Until I am satisfied you are forbidden from revealing anything to them is that understood my old friend? Now let us go its time for school to begin."
