A/N: So, this is my first Xiaolin Showdown fic, so if any of you readers find something off just send me a review, and I'll try to fix whatever the problem is in my writing. Anyway, for this I've decided to pull a bit of a cliche with a fifth member joining the group, though I'll try to avoid him being a super-character.

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown or any of the characters, aside from the OCs. Anyway, sit back and enjoy.

Chapter 1 A Newcomer

Raimundo and Omi were sparring again. After punching and kicking a few times, Omi flipped back and shouted, "Wudai Neptune Water!" A giant wave was sent flying towards his leader. Raimundo quickly began gathering chi to perform his own move.

"Wudai Star Wind!" he exclaimed. The air around him warped, and as the water hit it, the water rotated around the wind dragon and went flying back to Omi.

Omi concentrated and shouted, "Ice!" The wave froze in place, and Omi jumped to the side of the frozen wave, pulling out the Orb of Tornami. Raimundo saw him coming and pulled out his Blade of the Nebula. They both sent blasts from their weapons which met between them. Omi jumped above where the water and wind were crashing to attack Raimundo.

Raimundo took his own wu out and said, "Ruby of Ramses." Omi attempted to dodge in midair, but the telekinesis still caught him and pushed him against a wall.

"Raimundo! Omi!" a voice called. The two stopped and turned.

"What is it Master Fung? Is a new shen gong wu going active?" asked Omi.

"No, Omi," Master Fung said, shaking his head, as Kimiko and Clay joined them. "However, I have a found a new student that will join us here at the temple."

"Is that a good idea?" asked Raimundo. "I mean this new guy'll have no training whatsoever. Will he be ale to keep up with us?"

"Yeah, it'll be like a year old pony racing against a fully trained stallion," added Clay.

"This is my decision," said Master Fung, looking from Raimundo to Clay. "He will catch up to you in time."

"As always, Master Fung is most wise," Omi said.

Kimiko sighed and said, "OK, I think we can keep our doubts to ourselves. Where is this guy, anyway?"

Fung led them to the shen gong wu vault, where someone had their back to them.

"Hello, friend!" Omi said cheerfully. "Could you please turn around and show us your face?"

The boy turned around. He was around Rai's height, with lightly tanned skin, jet black hair that had been slicked back, golden eyes, an unzipped, brown leather jacket, with a green shirt underneath, and blue jeans.

"Young monks," said Fung, gesturing towards the new boy. "This is Xander."

"'Ello, mates!" Xander said in a strong British accent, grinning at them.

"Hello, Xander," said Omi with a bow. "I am Omi. I am the greatest of the Xiaolin dragons. I am stronger, swifter, and smarter than any before me!"

"Omi, right?" asked Xander, with humor in his eyes. "If all that's true, then," Xander pointed at Raimundo, "why does he have the cool outfit?"

Omi stopped and went wide-eyed, much to the laughter of the other three. "Go on, Omi," said Kimiko. "Tell him."

Omi sighed and said, "Because he's a shoku warrior." Blushing, he stepped back and let the others introduce themselves.

"Name's Raimundo," Rai said, shaking Xander's hand. "I'm the Xiaolin leader, but Omi's so used to proclaiming he's the greatest that we just let it slide."

"All righty," said Xander. "Who's the big guy?" he asked, nodding at Clay.

"Howdy," said Clay, shaking Xander's hand as well. "My name's Clay."

"Pleasure, Clay," Xander said with a grin that was becoming commonplace. "Last, but not least, who's the lady?"

"Oh," said Kimiko, taken aback at being addressed as 'lady.' "I'm Kimiko."

"Charmed," Xander said in reply. "So, now that we're all introduced, what do we do now?"

"Simple!" proclaimed Omi, sticking a finger in the air. "We commence with your training at once, so you will be able to competently combat the forces of evil alongside us!"

Xander blinked a few times and turned to the other three and asked, "Is he always this hyper?"

Kimiko shrugged and said, "Yeah, pretty much."

Rai shrugged and said, "Omi still has a point. Come on, let's see what you can do."

As they lead Xander to the training field, someone else was busy working on his 'minions.'

Jack sighed as he looked at what he'd done so far. Most of his robots were operational; he just had to turn them on. He wanted to create a few more before his army was completed, though.

As he went to connect the wires to a circuit board, he heard something creaking behind him. Whipping around, he saw a shadow dart across the wall.

"Jackbots, attack!" he called, before remembering they were all shut off. Sighing he muttered, "Fine. I'll handle this myself." Reaching under the table he'd been working on, he grabbed his single remaining wu.

"Monkey Staff," he said, and turned into a monkey version of himself. He snuck along the side of his layer, until he heard the creaking again. Giving a primate war cry, he leaped towards the sound. Grabbing his foe, the two tussled in the darkness and rolled into the light, revealing to Jack that his opponent was none other than …

"Tubbimura?"

"Hello, Jack Spicer, I wished to speak with you," said the obese ninja.

The two stood up as Jack asked, "So, then, why didn't you just knock on the door?"

"'Cause, Jack," said a third voice from the shadows. "We're evil villains. We don't work that way."

"Great," Jack said with a groan, "you're here too, Ashley. What do the two of you want?"

"We have a proposition," began Tubbimura. "We still wish for power, which together the three of us can obtain."

"Right," said Katnappe. "You obviously still have the Monkey Staff, Jack."

"How's that important?" Jack shot back.

"Because," a totally new, distorted voice said, "we'll get all the wu from the monks with that."

"Who's there?" asked Jack, after letting out a monkey screech of fear. He turned to where the voice came from, gripping the Monkey Staff.

"Hold, Jack Spicer," said Tubbimura, holding up a restraining hand. "He's here with us."

The mysterious figure walked forward into the light. He was a tan-skinned person around 20. He had combed, brown hair, with pupils that seemed entirely black. He wore a black trench coat that went from his shoulders down to his ankles. But the strangest thing was what was at his mouth. He had some bizarre machine that covered his mouth entirely, and gave his voice a garbled tone to it.

"My name is Iarmendal," said the stranger.

"Ok, how did you all manage to sneak into my house?" asked Jack.

"We only sneaked into your lair, Jack," answered Katnappe. "Your mom let us in the house."

"What?" exclaimed Jack.

"Hai," responded Tubbimura. "Her snickerdoodles are delicious."

"Silence!" barked Iarmendal. "Now that all of us are here, I would like you to tell me every thing you know about the Xiaolin monks. My plans revolve around them in particular."

A/N: A few quick things here, yes, Xander is British, no, he is not based off of me. As for Iarmendal, the main thing I should probably mention is what I mean with his voice. If any of you have seen the new "Get Smart" movie, think of the scene where the head of KAOS calls Sigfreid and he's done something to disguise his voice; that's basically what Iarmendal's done with his voice, I just couldn't think of a better word than 'garbled.' Anyway, I know there wasn't any real action in this, but that'll start up next chapter, so review and let me know what you think.
