| Master Fung tells the monks that the leader will be revealed after they do their last quest. Omi decides to go back in time (with Dojo) and stop Chase from entering the Heylin side. Realizing that he needs the Sands of Time, Omi freezes himself for 80 years to talk to his old self but he realizes that Jack Spicer has conquered the world in his absence. Omi successfully switches Chase Young's evil Lao-Mang-Long soup with pea soup which stops him from turning evil. However, in exchange, the future has changed for the worse. Instead of turning Chase Young evil, Hannibal turns Master Monk Guan evil, and Omi's friends have been turned into farmers, while Master Fung is trapped in the Ying-Yang world and Jack turns good once again. The Sands of Time was destroyed with the Kuzusu Atom by Hannibal Bean which makes it impossible for Omi to go back and undo all of Bean's actions. After acquiring the soup Omi hid in the past, they are captured by Hannibal and his crew. Chase then sacrifices his good side to free the Warriors. After the Warriors get to the Heylin Seed's vault, Hannibal and his crew start a Xiaolin Showdown. The Warriors defeat Hannibal, Wuya, Chase Young, and Master Monk Guan in a 4-way tag team Xiaolin Showdown, and when they win, Chase Young smiles briefly (showing that he probably wanted them to win). Omi then recovers his frozen past self and the two make contact, causing a paradox that resets time back to how it was before, undoing all the changes. In the end, with time restored and the world back to normal, Raimundo becomes the new Shoku Warrior, and is named the leader of the Xiaolin Dragons, with everyone happy for him - Omi included. As all the villains gather together for a last Xiaolin versus Heylin Cosmic Clash Showdown, the Xiaolin Dragons charge in, resolute as always. | ||||||||||||||
