(Xing POV)
I watched the newcomers with a sharp eye. They didn't seem like they were with the emperor but you never know. (3rd person)
Em spotted their supervisor in the tree. They  had a cloth mask on the bottom half of their face and they had a little knife in their hand. Yikes. She turned to their new friend.  "Hey Junjie," she started. "Yes Em?" He responded.  "Who's tha-" she stopped short seeing no mystery figure. "They were just there!" Em cried out in shock.

"You saw someone?" Eli questioned. "Yeah. It looked like a smaller version of Junjie, only they were fidgeting with a small knife of sorts." Em confirmed.  "A smaller version of Junjie?" He continued. The girl nodded. "Is there another eastern champion?" Kord asked. "No, I am the only one." Junjie's tone was suspicious. "Could someone be pretending to be him? To give people hope?" Trixie suggested.  "Possibly." Junjie replied.

Then a flash of color dashed over their heads. Everyone got their blasters ready. "Who are you? Show yourself." Junjie demanded. "Why should I?" The figure sassed back. "I won't allow you to do any harm, not while I am here." He replied. They made themself known. The figure leaned against the tree trunk, their feet on the branch.

They wore a cloth mask, yes, but they also wore a smaller version of Junjie's uniform.  "You got a name?" Eli asked. "Call me Slick for know." They replied. "Are you the eastern champion." Em asked. Slick let out a laugh. "Me? Honey I an't the eastern champion. Close but not quite." They responded.

"He was amazing but disappeared a long time ago."  The figure couldn't be much older than Em. "So you knew him?" She continued. "Yeah I knew him, even before he was the eastern champion." Something clicked in Junjie's head. 

He scanned the figure, his eyes landing on the pendant around their neck. A simple silver locket, with a moon on the front. The figure appeared to be very calm in this moment. "If you're not the eastern champion, who are you?"  Trixie asked. "Someone who knows he'll return." They responded.

"Do you know what happened to Xing Xio?" Junjie blurted out. It was a question that was burning in his head. "Yeah I know what happened, kid's got a good head on her shoulders." Slick fired back. "Can you take us to peach blossom spring cavern?" Em asked.
