It's them again. I've been thinking about them lately.

monks are not allowed to come into close contact with women, even if feelings of love arise in their hearts, they can only keep these emotions deeply buried within themselves. Yet, I am deluded in thinking that Dashi might have such feelings for Wuya.

And thus, the war between Xiaolin and Heylin began.

Dialogue is based on this post:

Very dumb Xiaolin Showdown AU/fic prompt where Dashi, comes back.

A new Wu reveals itself and everyone searches for it and when they activate it suddenly Dashi just appears falling over and dropping a can of soda like 'yeah that didn't go to plan may have fucked up there.... hey Dojo I got the soda' just Dashi tried experiment with Wu and fucked up and got trapped until it reactivated and then is just there chilling.

Guan shows up and is so happy his friend is alive but also... he knows Dashi.

When the next showdown happens Wuya is there and Guan is just paling like 'oh fuck' mostly everyone is confused like yeah she's Dashi's nemesis 'why are you worried with beat Wuya loads and she doesn't have all her powers it'll be fine right?' Guan just gives a pained look no idea how to explain....that.

The 2 start a showdown just them and it's banter and then Wuya getting upset 'I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD YOU BASTARD' and things start to get weird... Jack and the dragons are looking between each other like WTF...Dojo is paling as repressed memories are coming back and Chase basically teleports next to Omi covering his eyes just before Wuya and Dashi start making out.

Jack and the dragons jaws are on the ground other than Omi who has no idea what's happening because Chase is not letting his apprentice have to deal with this than you very much.

Somewhere in the distance they can hear Hannibal's cry of 'KNEW IT' Guan is signing in defeat 'Everyone knew it this isn't a surprise'. Then they realize it's not stopping. '...Dojo make the showdown stop..Dojo... DOJO'

That's the start of it slowly everyone realizes Dashi is not just a grand master dragon... he's is a fucking chaos gremlin who puts the world in danger as much as he saves it, it's no wonder he's so good at saving the world since he's always doing it cleaning up his own messes.

The whole hiding the wu they realize is less Dashi's decision and more everyone else's decision of making him put his objects of chaos out of reach, just putting his toys on the top shelf to stop him blowing up reality for 5 minutes.

All the other older monks at the temple decide to go on a long pilgrimages away form the temple and Dashi, and instead there's just Wuya chilling there they think she's moved in... no one wants to ask because that raises more questions... no one wants them answered.

Dashi's chaos is back in full swing and the next 'Ooops kick started end of the world event Chase shows up scoops up Omi like 'Not making him clean up Dashi's mess he's here he can do it himself taking my kid-I MEAN APPRENTICE home til Dashi has unfucked the universe' Fung wants to argue for a moment before taking a look at Dashi running into the vault yelling 'IT'S OK I CAN FIX THIS' while Wuya can't stop laughing and decides all the dragons can have a week or 2 at home... they've earned it.

Also as Wuya and Dashi have stopped any subterfuge and subtly and the whole good vs evil has now become more everyone vs Dashi's chaos Chase throws subtly out the window and is there with Omi like 'This is my son if anything happens to him I will destroy the world in a way not even Dashi's most powerful toys can fix'

Dashui: I TAKE THAT AS A CHALLENGE BRING IT ON CHASE

Guan:DASHI NO!

Which leads to Chase being around the temple more or taking Omi back to his palace because 'He is not a signing a permission slip for Omi to be involved in Dashi's latest shitshow' even though Omi is totally ready to jump into the portal to oblivion Dashi made to save the world'.

However, he sometimes gets sucked into saving the world (mix of Dasshi and Wuya teasing and Omi puppydog eyes)...as does Wuya because of reasons she will not say but her and Dashi are smirking at each other so no one is asking, they do NOT want to know. Which leads to them seeing the old dragons of their elements kicking ass and leads to all of the dragons starry eyed and demanding/pleading to know more moves and teach me how you did that please!!

Kimiko is borderline threatening Guan to teach her to make fire weapons like he did, Raimundo is near begging Dashi for the mountain cutting wind slash ability he used and flight ability, Omi is already being taught by Chase. Clay is trying to figure out how to get Wuya to teahc him some earth abilities.

Clay: Why did mine have to be an evil varmint

Dojo: I mean Omi's is too

Clay:...

Clay: That's is his pa Dojo

Dashi when not being a chaos gremlin is teasing all his friends, especially Guan and Chase because all this time and you 2 still aren't together .

Guan: Dashi he has tried to kill be many times

Dashi:...yeah...and?

Guan:....

Guan:I realized who I was speaking to after I said it

He also teases Guan about being a deadbeat dad and not spending time with Chase and his son, Guan is trying very hard to set his friend on fire.

Dashi has got Omi involved and Omi is so excited to have both his heroes spending time with him and neither can say no to him. Dashi and Wuya are watching all this giggling with popcorn.

Dojo: How mcuh of this is you wanting to help them and how much is just for your amusement

Dashi:... like 60, 40 split...which way i'm not to sure though.

Bonus: it is collectively agreed by everyone that Jack and Dashi can not spend time together Jack once asked about how the shen gong wu were made and about mechs and kaiju and everyone all has to drag them apart after they started talking... no one is allowed to give Dashi anymore ideas.

[thexgrayxlady]

Trick or treat!

“No.” Chase narrowed his eyes at his latest brilliant invention. “Absolutely not. You are going to disassemble that heinous monstrosity right now! I’m not testing…”

“You’re not testing it at all.” Dashi turned away from his work bench. “I wouldn’t know if it was work…”

“It doesn’t need to work.” Chase crossed his arms to hide the smoke curling from his fingertips. “You have me.”

“And if the Heylin Seed gets loose when you’re off fighting Wuya or on a quest for the world’s best fried squid balls…”

“Quanzhou.”

“What?”

“Quanzhou. Aunty Ju. She has the third stand from the end of the docks and the world’s best fried squid balls. I don’t need a quest for that.” He rolled his eyes like this was the most obvious thing in the whole world. “Just like you don’t need this abomination.”

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “So if the Heylin Seed…”

“You put it in a box once, you can do it again.”

He flipped the lens on the jeweler’s loop back down and turned back to the large ruby. “Let’s say that I’m on my own and I need to light a fire.”

“That is a skill issue.”

“Say someone cleans the Saphire Dragon…” He picked up his tweezers and started to fold the fitting down around the edges of the gem. Chase would get over it eventually. He just had to be dramatic first.

“Then they deserve what’s going to happen.”

“If we’re fighting Hannibal and you’re not…”

Chase rolled his eyes, spun around, nearly tripped over scrap metal on his way out of the workshop, then crashed into Guan as he stormed through the door.

“What’s going on?” Guan put a hand gently, yet firmly on Chase’s shoulder, stopping him from leaving.

“He’s trying to replace me with some doohicky!” Chase spat. Smoke trailed his hands as he gestured to the worktable.

Dashi set the star back on the bench. “I’m making a charm that can generate fire.”

For a few moments, Guan stared at Chase with fond exasperation, then said, “It won’t be as good, but we can’t afford to not have you around.”

The smoke dissipated and Chase blinked up at his friend. The corners of his mouth twitched up and his shoulders sank in relief. Then he remembered that he was supposed to be mad, scowled and added, “It is still a useless doohicky.”
