AU Jack isn't happy with me

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

[Here stands a Jack but rather than his usual evil genius garb he's wearing Xiaolin warrior robes.]

I seriously think I hate you mun-guy. You take me from the temple and then when I try to talk to some of my best- no ONLY friends they think I'm still their enemy!

I'm starting to get the feeling you might like being a jerk.

Muns can be... fickle. To say the least.

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Yeah I noticed

[soaringsprinter]

It's something you learn to live with. [He shrugs.]

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

I still don't like it. It really stinks to be alone again.

[soaringsprinter]

[Sympathetic shoulder pats?]

I understand the feeling. [He holds out a hand.] Kazemaru Ichirouta. And you are?

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

[He accepts the hand.] Jack Spicer.

[greatevillaugh]

Wait...we have friends?

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Well yeah though you kinda look like I did before then.

[He's just going to roll with alternate him being there.]

[greatevillaugh]

Huh? Before when? Wait! Are you me from the future?

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

I'm guessing. Or an alternate universe.

Did you find out we're actually one of the Xiaolin warrior guys?

[greatevillaugh]

Uh, no?

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Yeah we're the dragon of metal. It's pretty awesome! Especially since it lets me get some of those harder to get metals for the jack-bots.

[handsomestdragon]

Eat your tongue, Jack Spicer, you have never been friendly!

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

That wasn't even close to right!

And any way, if you think I'm still the evil Jack Spicer then I obviously don't know martial arts and without any gadgets, Shen gon wu, or jack-bots I should be simple to beat.

[handsomestdragon]

...I- We have trusted you, before. You betrayed us, even after we treated you with nothing but kindness! Perhaps you will do the same, again!

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Omi. I'm not the Jack that did that but I guess I can understand your hesitation.

[He digs out a remote and hands it to Omi, it was the usual Jack Spicer styled ones with the dark metal and big red button.]

If you really think I'm out to get you then press that button. When you do every Jack-bot I ever made will be under your control. And they've gotten a lot more sophisticated then when I was evil.

Press that button and I'm dead meat.

[handsomestdragon]

...

[Omi frowns, glancing at the controller. It's certainly tempting to continue to disbelieve Jack, but there's also that tiny voice suggesting that, perhaps, Jack had become good.]

Friends do not need to have weapons to use against each other.

[He holds out the controller.]

Here. Take it back. If you do turn against us, I can easily defeat you by myself.

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

You're right. I just want you to know I trust you Omi.

[He'd take the controller back.]

But if you feel you need it I'll be keeping it around. Since it's how I summon the Jack-bots and all.

[Jack offered an awkward smile.]

So wow if you're from another universe or time you missed out on a lot of the reasons I actually joined you guys.

[typhoonboom]

[...You aren't the first alternate Jack he's run across in Dear Mun. Fortunately. This is suspicious, but...probably worth investigating? Probably?]

"...Temple?" "Friends?" OK, "Jack," what's the story?

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Is absolutely no one here from my universe or time? Alright I'm going to give you the basics.

After the incident with Wuya I went back to being evil of course. But then one day you guys catch me taking the Shen Gon Wu, which happened a lot less then someone would think. We're all about to fight like usual but then Master Fung just stops all of us and randomly says I'm the dragon of metal. We all stop because we're too shocked. He proves it by throwing some old metal shield at me and I suddenly shatter the thing.

I didn't just become a good guy instantly though and everyone was hesitant about even thinking about asking me to stay. You were the one that convinced them to even try to get me to stay.

sklfjskldf Your Jack is adorable omg hi /tags in late

[xiaolindragon]

[Rai obviously looks apprehensive but...]

Alright, I'll bite.

And for the record? Muns always like being jerks, yo. It's like its apart of their programming.

Late tags are fine! <3

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Okay I'm giving you the one important thing and you can ask questions from there.

[He was clearly tired of repeating himself. So he'd point to himself and say-]

I'm the Xiaolin Dragon of Metal.

/o/!! there is so much activity on the XS tag it makes me so happy ;u;

[xiaolindragon]

So, lemme get this straight. There is some universe out there, where you are actually one of us, element and all.

[He doesn't quite seem so disbelieving. He's seen a lot of timeline shenanigans, after all. After the time fuckary quest incident he's not ruling anything out anymore.]

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Right I just showed up on Master Fung's radar later than you guys. A while after the Wuya incident. I've been at the temple for about ten months.

[xiaolindragon]

Wuya incident? Dude, you're gonna have to be specific, there's been plenty of those around.

[Thoughtful though. He knows better than to let his guard down at all, but he's at least giving this Jack the benefit of the doubt for now. Notably, though he is wearing a set of very important looking robes, if that means anything to this version of Jack.]
