AN: This fanfic will be a place I can dump many one-shots and written ideas that I have but didn't develop into a fully-blown story for whatever reason. I hope you you enjoy this collection of drabbles and such.

This is a random thought that I just had to put down on paper, been sitting in my head for some time. No clear plot yet, but takes place mostly in Season 1, maybe a bit after, so Tien Kwan doesn't appear in it…but Twin Masters does…

Summary: They had to find the Emperor's son. Had to get him to help. But when they found him, he disappointed them. He disappointed them. He did nothing.


"What on earth can Highroller possibly do that can destroy us?" Mystique Sonia challenged, eyebrow raised. "I bet you that you're worrying about nothing. It's probably something that he thinks he can pass off as big-"

"Don't underestimate him." They turned to Lin Chung, who frowned. "Highroller is capable of doing more things than you will ever dream of."


"There's something wrong in the East Citadel." Lady Green informed them. "The ocean near there is in chaos. And their whales are coming over here asking for help."


Lin Chung looked down at the deserted and charred remains of East Citadel, his heart thumping uncontrollably in his chest. He felt Rosefinch tense up, and turned to Master Chou, who was staring in disbelief.

"What happened to East Citadel?"


"We need to prepare for battle. Something big is coming, and I have a feeling that it won't be pretty."


Woo turned the pages of his book. "There is something here. Something about a force so powerful, that none can stop it. Only few can dream of accomplishing it, and defeating it."

Mighty Ray smirked. "Ha! Then you asked the right guy!"

Mystique Sonia whacked him on the head with her tongue. "Be serious, banana brain! This is dangerous!"

"So what do we have to do?" Lin Chung faced Woo.

Woo looked up, his gaze solemn. "You have to find the Last Emperor."


"What do you mean you don't know?" Kowloon snapped at the boy. "We need help! You were supposed to be able to help us!"

"I can!" The son of the Emperor snarled. "But if we act, they will attack us!"

"They will attack us even if we don't do anything!"


"This is not working anymore!" Lin Chung spat at the foolish boy. "Hidden Kingdom is fall down all around us! 27 provinces have been destroyed, and all villages with themdestroyed! The people are already seeking out Big Green for protection!"

He had witnessed the carnage before. The fires burning. The sky turning dark with smoke. The people screaming as they tried to put out the fires. The wood falling down all around the people. He had seen it all.

"Everyone, every single one of the people that you are supposed to protect are dying this moment! We are low on fighters, low on supplies, our world is falling around us even as we speak, and you want us to do nothing?!"


The boy scowled. "Where is he?!"

Lady Green faced him, her eyes dark with anger. "Gone."


"How did this even start, for God's sake?! One day we are relaxing, the next, the world's falling all around us!"

A sad murmur met her question, angrily demanded. "We don't know."


Jumpy looked at the rising robot above, ignoring the exploding fires that were currently falling down around him. His eyes were wide as he took in the sight. The foot stomped a few feet in front of him, before a person tackled him away.

"Jumpy!"


Mystique Sonia looked up at the animals that were currently racing for Big Green. Not just the cheetahs, but…"Panthers." She breathed out.

And Lin Chung was with them.


"The situation is deadly." One of the Panthers scowled. "Why isn't the Emperor acting?!"

"We don't know." Kowloon sullenly answered the Panther.


"What about our parents?!" Kowloon looked alarmed.

"We cannot get them."

"Are you a heartless monster?!" Alpha Girl demanded. "Our parents are everything to us."

Panther King turned back to them, his gaze sombre. "Then you'll have to change your priories."


"We cannot hold on for much longer!" Mystique Sonia shrieked at no one in particular. "Animals are dying all around us, Our friends are as well, and we're losing all the useful artillery that could be used to attack because we are too busy defending!"

Lin Chung glared at the Emperor. "Can you not see what is happening?! If you don't do something, I will personally make sure you do not last this!" He snarled. "So, get your head in the game!"


"What is that?!" Apetrully looked terrified at the monster that was coming out of the volcano.

"We're too late." Lin Chung whispered, looking horrified at the creature in front of him. "We're too late."


"What can we do? We need time!" The Emperor demanded, slamming his hands on the table in front of him. "We need time!" No one else was in the room, as they had all left to try and get some sleep during the brief silence. Only the two present in the room were still up.

Lin Chung looked up, his gaze cold. "I can only buy you a few days. A week, if I am lucky."

The Emperor hesitated at this. He knew how they would hate him. But it was better if Hidden Kingdom was alive than if it fell because of one person. His voice was as detached as Lin Chung's. "Do what you can."


"We will never give up. We will fight to our last breath." Master Chou looked at the Emperor, who was standing in front of the crowd, and held out a hand for the weapon that was in his hand. "Lin Chung has, is doing what he can, to try and delay the monster for us, and he is doing it to keep us safe." The achingly familiar purple staff that had served it's previous master well. "Will you?"


The Emperor walked, chin high, eyes gleaming with determination, turning only once more to examine the ruins of Big Green, and then at the bedraggled animals and remaining warriors beside him, before drawing his weapon, the favoured one of the one that currently lay in a coma in Big Green. He only had one more chance to change this. One more chance.

And he sure wasn't going to waste it.


"You see?" The monster was laughing - Chaos was laughing. "You cannot hope to beat me alone! I am unbeatable! No one has ever defeated me, and you, puny human, won't be the one to do so."


"I am the 25th Emperor of Hidden Kingdom." The Emperor glared at him. "I have been reduced to a normal person when your lackey decided to take revenge on my parents. They underestimated him. I won't, never have, never will, and I will reclaim my throne, and my position as Emperor of Hidden Kingdom, and no one will be able to stop me!"


The Emperor shook his head as he glanced to his ally, his stomach churning. "I don't know what to do now."

His ally turned, a faraway look in his eyes. "Yes you do. You're just too afraid to do it." The sun reflected on his face, and his eyes softened temporarily, briefly, before turning hard once more.

"Don't be."
