Hey…please don't mind the slightly horrible chapter…and the omi bashing, I promise it gets better, and it gets better soon. Please review! And criticism is welcome!

On a bright warm day just after the new shoku warrior was appointed

Raimundo was resting on the temple stairs, morning sun shining on his face, as a large grin complimented his features. He was happy to say the least. He had been appointed shoku warrior and held his own against the baddest of the bad …yet, he felt disappointed in his teammates. Why? Well they weren't exactly listening to him.

They meaning omi.

The little cheese ball seemed upset at raimundo's achievements, but raimundo treated him just as well as the other teammates, allowing him to confide his plans in the leader and such. But it just didn't seem like enough…the silent padding of feet on the stairs interrupted his thoughts.

"Kimiko?"

"Hey Rai…how are you feeling? You seem a little down."

"I'm fine." he lied

"It's omi isn't it?" Pushed kimiko.

"…." Raimundo wasn't sure what to tell her…should he keep quiet about it? He opened his mouth to speak, but kimiko cut him off.

"He just needs some time to adjust-

"It's been more complicated than that." Raimundo interrupted.

"I know rai," a ringtone sounded. "Look, can we talk about this later? Keiko's calling".

"Sure girl."

Kimiko exited the stairs talking to keiko about the latest styles. And another figure sat beside him. Omi to be exact.

" Ah my friend it is a wonderful day is it not?

Raimundo simply nodded his head.

"My friend I am mooooost sorry"

Raimundo put on one of his biggest grins. Finally the little monk has come to his senses! Omi continued.

"That your lotus stance is flawed as mine is perfect, ah but no need to get your boxers in a bunch for I, the greatest xiaolin warrior of all time shall help you get more accuracy to your stance, it will not be perfect as mine is but almost just as well!"

By the end of omi's pretentious speech raimundo was seething. He opened his mouth to yell his head off at omi but was interrupted by a certain green dragon.

"Master fung is calling an emergency meeting!" yelled dojo.

"OOOOH! It must be about raimundo's lacking leadership skills!" said omi as he bolted towards the grand hall.

Raimundo was anxiously walking to the grand hall thinking of what master fung would want to talk about. Probably another 1500 years of darkness he concluded.

In the grand hall…

Kimiko and Clay were waiting for Raimundo and omi pondering what master fung wants to discuss. And then the two other elemental monks appeared.

Master fung then began to speak.

"I assume you ponder what I wish to discuss young monks?" his eyes bore into each of the monks, resting on the yellow boys black orbs.

The boy spoke.

"Raimundo's pitiful leadership skills!

Master fung continued staring at the young monk disappointedly.

"Omi, it is not raimundos leadership skills, in fact it is your inability to obey his commands, respect him, and actually listen to what he has to say. For that, omi you will scrub the bathhouse for two weeks along with cleaning the grand hall."

"But master!"-

"Omi" master fung warned

Omi stayed silent. "Good." Said master fung. "Unfortunately kimiko, clay, omi, you have yet to realize the privileges of having a leader." " Whaddya mean master fung? Asked clay.

"A leader is willing to give his life for his team, help his team, teach his team, allow his team to confide in him, respect his team, and care for his team. But if that team cannot simply listen to the leader then chaos ensues, trust is lost, people get hurt, and lives are lost."

"Shen gong wu alert! Yelled dojo as he retrieved the scroll.

"The cube of chi cǔn, a dangerous shen gong wu, it allows its user to manipulate dimensions to summon creatures from the underworld and access limbo." The scroll showed a struggling figure being thrown into a portal and not coming out.

"Limbo?" asked clay

"A dimension for those who committed heinous acts, it was utilized by our courts for capital punishment, but it was feared that too many innocent people would be sent there, so dashi hid it in an area he believed no one would access."

" Let's stop dobby dogging and get that shen gong wu!"

"Ok..…"

Dojo enlarged to his 50 foot length and the monks hopped on

In a dark ominous cave….

"The cube of chi cǔn has revealed itself at last!"

"Yes wuya, and with it I shall finally enshroud the world in darkness!" "SPICER!"

"Coming!" Screamed the redhead

"Jungle cats!" Ordered the reptilian warrior.

A tiger entered the throne room, in its mouth a certain redheaded mascara wearing teen.

" I require your assistance in a certain plot."

"Anything for the prince of darkness!" the redhead replied

"Excellent…."

Somewhere in an ancient desert….

"Dojo could'ya hurry it up!"

" Yeah we don't want Spicer getting to it first"

"I'm going as fast as I can!"

" Not fast enough dojo, if anyone besides us gets this wu then it could be the end of the world!" Said the shoku warrior.

"It's close!" Said dojo as he landed.

With chase and wuya…. and jack

"jack, you will send your jackbots to distract the monks-

"I think you'll need sum ah extra assistance." Interrupted-

"Hannibal Roy bean!" shouted wuya.

"I don't need your help you worthless vegetable."

"Oh but chase, on this mission you're out-numbered-

"I have Spicer's robots to assist me."

"Those pathetic pieces of scrap-metal will be torn apart in nanoseconds."

"…Fine, you may assist me by fighting omi, he will prove to be a threat."

"Alrighty then!"

With the elemental monks….

"The wu should be around here somewhere-"a very impatient shoku warrior promptly lifted Dojo.

"We don't have time for this dojo…sniff it out!" "Ok ok I'm hurrying!" replied the green dragon.

"Rai, look!" kimiko was pointing directly towards a pyramid half buried in the sand

"It's in there!"

"WHAT!" The four warriors shouted in reply.

"Hey Dashi hid this one not me! Besides if we don't go in there it's the end of the world!"

"My friends, cease your bickering! We must retrieve this shen gong wu!"

"I reckon the little fella's right."

They traveled to the half-buried pyramid in search of an entrance.

"I reckon we should jus' blast this thing."

"I agree with Clay." Said omi.

"No, it's too dangerous, a place like this is probably booby trapped." The leader replied. A tad bit too late though, for omi was already blasting his way through the pyramid with strong bursts of water.

"We must hurry my friends!"

"Omi,STOP!" yelled a very aggravated leader. But, of course omi didn't listen and continued to spew bursts of water from his hands. Until the side of the pyramid collapsed leaving a gaping hole.

"Cool out raimundo! We must capture this wu!

As they entered the pyramid the walls suddenly started closing
