Okay, so my good friend Megasean3000 and I are planning to work together to bring you the Xiaolin Showdown Kingdom Hearts Crossover! Most of the credit should go to Sean since he first thought of this, but took the story down since he couldn't think of any more ideas. So I pitched in with some new ideas and new storylines and then presto change-o! The story is back but with a brand new twist!
In each chapter, the first part will be written by me while the other half will be written by Sean just to make things fair. So, we hope you enjoy!

Xiaolin Showdown/Kingdom Hearts Crossover
Chapter One:
Our Story Begins
WORLD NAME: The Xiaolin Temple
The sun was setting at yet another perfect day at the Xiaolin Temple. Leader and Shoku Warrior, Raimundo Pedrossa, was in his room, going through his storage trunk, pushing some items here and there. Raimundo then takes out a blue-colored sash, as he stares directly at it. This sash was proof to him that he was a Wudai Warrior...well, once. Now, he's up in the higher ranks, as leader of the group and a Shoku Warrior for that, too. He then puts it aside as he goes through his trunk a little more. He then takes out two more sashes; one purple and one black. The purple sash represents Xiaolin Apprentice, and Raimundo was the last of the gang to move up one. And the black represents the first level of Xiaolin Mastery, which was the first sash he received since his first stay in at the Xiaolin Temple.
He then picks up his blue sash again as he looked at all three, as memories all keep pouring in all at once of the good times he had...with himself and his friends.
"Hey, Mr. Leader," a voiced called out.
Raimundo turns around and saw that it was Kimiko, Wudai Dragon of Fire, and one of Raimundo's best friends.
"It's dinner time! Clay made us some of those Hot Tacos, again." Kimiko then notices the expression of Raimundo's face. "Hmm? What's up? Head in the clouds, again, Mr. Leader?"
"Y'know, I wish you'd stop calling me that," Raimundo pointed out, putting away the sashes back into the trunk. "Just because I'm leader, doesn't mean I have to boss you around."
"Whatever," Kimiko said, offering her hand to him. "Come on, Rai. Let's go get those Tacos!"
Raimundo closes his trunk, as he turns around and takes Kimiko's hand. "Yeah, lets."
Kimiko then pulls Raimundo up, as they both walked together to the dining room, as Omi and Dojo's voices rang out.
"Clay! Take it easy on the Tacos, boy!"
"Wow. Do all cowboys eat like this?"
Raimundo and Kimiko enters the dining room, with happy expressions on their faces.
"Now what're you partners smiling about?" Clay jokes, shoving more tacos into his mouth.
"Nothing much," Kimiko said, taking a seat. "Just getting to know our Mr. Leader."
"I thought I said to cut it out," Rai joked. "Besides, now that I'm leader, I can't just boss you guys around."
"Oh, and why is that, Raimundo?" Omi asked.
"Well, now that I'm leader," Raimundo explains, scratching the back of his head. "I...I just got to keep this group together, to go through good times and the bad. It's got to be my job to protect you guys, what with being leader and everything. And, well...to keep all of us together, ya know?"
Everybody then moves closer with curiousness as Raimundo continues, "I'll make sure that it's my job that we keep this team going alive strong and together. I...we got to stick together as a team, to make sure we...kick bad guy butt and stuff. I got to make sure this team works together as one, even if I have to faith in my heart to make sure we stick together as a team, forever and always, you know?"
"Funny," Kimiko said. "What happened to our street smart Raimundo?"
"Huh?" Raimundo slightly blushes. "Oh, sorry about that. Guess I wasn't myself back there."
"Now that we're all lovey-doveys here, partners" Clay said, taking another another huge plate of Hot Tacos. "LET'S EAT!"
But what they didnt't notice is that, standing near the entryway, was Master Fung. He was listening to what Raimundo had said to his teammates. With that, Master Fung leaves to his room, just to find Dojo chewing on some egg rolls.
"Hey, why the long face?" Dojo asked.
"I believe that Raimundo may be the next one," Master Fung silently says.
"The next one of what?"
Master Fung then did a sigh as he rubs his forehead.
"Hey may be the next one...to wield one of the mightiest weapons of all from his heart..."
------------------
"Okay boys," Kimiko says, stretching her arms out. "Got lots to do, tomorrow!"
"Ooh, I wonder what kind of training exercise Master Fung has in mind for us tomorrow," Omi said cheerfully.
"Well, nighty-night, partners!" Clay called out.
"Yeah, g'night, guys," Raimundo said.
Raimundo then changes from his robes to his PJs, as he stares directly at his trunk, containing the memories of him and his friends. He then did a long yawn, as he lays on his mat and covered himself up with his blanket.
"Yeah, lots to do..." he whispers.
He then closes his eyes, as he drifted off into the darkness...
He opened his eyes again, only to discover that he was falling. Raimundo looks around, hesitating, and saw that he was falling underwater. The more he falls, the more darker the water gets. But, something wasn't right; he wasn't drowning, and he seems to be breathing just fine, despite being underwater.
"Wha...another dreamscape again?!"
Then, the falling slowly came to a stop, as Raimundo safely landed on his feet. Raimundo then saw that he was back wearing his Shoku Robes.
"Hey, I don't remember...ah, forget it! Where am I? I've had enough tricks in my dreams, already!"
Raimundo then took a step forward, but then all of a sudden, there was a flash of light. Raimundo quickly shielded his eyes from the bright light, as he heard a lot of flapping wings all around him. Raimundo turned around and opened his eyes to discover that he was surrounded by doves, symbol of peace, flying from the ground and into the air. Each one, they were so beautiful in his eyes. Raimundo then turned around once more, as he watches the doves fly away. He reached out his hand, hoping to reach for one of them, but they were just out of his reach.
"Where am I?"
Raimundo then turned to face the glowing light on the ground, only to reveal to be a platform of a boy in a red jump suit, with brown, spiky hair, a blackish-white short-sleeved vest with a blue hood, white finger-less gloves, and big yellow shoes, holding what seems to look like a giant key. There were four other people, too. One was a boy with silver hair and bright green eyes, the other was a girl with red hair and blue eyes, one seemed to be a cartoonish dog and the other a cartoonish duck. In the background of these characters was an island with white clouds, blue skies, and a palm tree right on the island. Raimundo stood there, memorizing what was on that platform he was standing on.
"Who...who is that? Never met the dude, before. But then, who is he? Someone famous?"
So much to do...yet so little time.
Raimundo then turns around, but sees no one.
"Who's there!?"
Take your time, and do not be afraid.
"Afraid of what?"
The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?
"Uh...what is this? A video game tutorial or something?"
Raimundo then steps forward just as the voice instructed. But then, there was suddenly three glowing lights surrounding Raimundo. He did a quick spin or two to find out what was going on. But then, a sword, a staff, and a shield appears from the lights, hovering all around Raimundo.
"No way. Weapons?"
Go ahead. Pick a weapon. But once you choose, the type of weapon you seek will choose the type of person you are.
"Type of weapon? Oh, I get it. Now let's see, the type of the sword represents the warrior, the type of the staff represents some kind of elemental mage, and the type of that shield seems to represent some kind of guardian or somethin'. Magic's not my type. Guardian...nah. So that would leave..."
Raimundo then faces the sword, a grayish-like sword with markings of wind all over it, as he reaches his hand out for the handle. The moment he touched it, the glowing rays of light seems to have vanished, as so did the staff and the shield. Raimundo then raised the sword up as high as he could.
You have chosen the power of warrior. You are set, indeed.
"Whatever," Raimundo said, placing a hand to his hip. "You know you can't hide, forever. Why not show yourself?"
The voice ignores the question.
"Well then, what next?" Raimundo asked.
Follow your steps, and turn for that light.
"What light? And what steps?"
Raimundo then turned around and spotted a case of glass-like stairs, as it reaches all the way up high in the air.
Be careful. For if you want to reach your goal, there will be those who stands in your way.
"Phht. Big deal. I can take them on."
Raimundo then ran up for the stairs, but before he could, blackish-like creatures with glowing yellow eyes appears above the ground, blocking Raimundo's path.
"Wha-what are these things? Well, I'm not scared of them!"
Raimundo then stood in a battle position, as one of the creatures jumped up to attack him.
"Shoku Eagle Strike, WIND!" Raimundo shouted, as his sword clashes against the creature.
The powerful gusts of wind also destroyed the other black creatures that goes with it.
"There's probably more of these things," Raimundo cautions. "I better be careful."
Raimundo then ran onto the stairs, but more black creatures got in the way. Raimundo then took one slash at one creature, and then another. Raimundo called out more Shoku attacks against the black creatures, and one-by-one, they all vanish, leaving nothing but a heart behind.
"What's with the hearts? Hmm...nah, thinking's not my thing."
Raimundo then reached to the end of the stairs, where there was a glowing light up above him. Raimundo reached out his hand to reach for it, but then heard the voice again.
The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.
Raimundo then turns around, as he saw that his shadow grew larger and larger on the stair steps. Raimundo took a step back. A hand then reaches out of the shadows, as if trying to escape. Raimundo took a step far back, as he reaches to the end of the stair step. Another hand reaches out of the shadows, as two of the hands pushes themselves out of the shadows, as more and more being came crawling out. Then, Raimundo lost balance, as he started moving his arms around to retrieve balance again, but...
Raimundo then fell from the step and was falling back onto the platform. He crashes onto it, but it didn't leave a scratch on him. Raimundo then sat up and looked up. There, standing before him...was Darkside.
"Whoa! Is that my shadow or what?!"
Raimundo then got up to his feet, as he stumbles to get up. He then looked up as high as he could since the creature was 20 times his size. Raimundo looked around for his sword, but was lost in plain sight. But then, the Darkside punches against the ground with its fist, opening a dark portal below Raimundo's feet. Darkness began lurking up on him, as Rai fell on his back, against the portal. He struggles selflessly to break free, but of no use.
Raimundo tried to scream, to call out one of his Shoku Abilities, but no words came out of his mouth. He couldn't breathe, he couldn't speak...he could barely move. The Darkside hovers above him, ready to make another move.
Do not be afraid, for you hold the mightiest weapon of all.
So don't forget...
Raimundo closed his eyes as tight as he could, as darkness completely covers his body whole.
...you are the one who will help open the door...
Raimundo moves around, his arms reaching out, trying to escape, but when he opened his eyes, he calmed down. He started to breathe normally again, as he took a deep breath. He then sat up and saw that he was back at the Xiaolin Temple. He then looks down at his body only to reveal to be wearing his PJs. Raimundo did another sigh as he lays back down.
"Good. It was just a dream. But...why did that dream...felt real? Those attacks, that voice...why did it felt all real?"
"Raimundo? Are you awake?"
Raimundo then sat up once more and, to his surprise, Kimiko was standing at his entryway.
"Yeah, I guess."
"Aww, what's the matter? Leadership getting to you?" Kimiko teased.
"Give me a break, Kimiko! I just had a weird dream!" Raimundo shouts.
"Sorry, just yanking your chain," Kimiko said.
"Whatever," Raimundo muttered. "So, anything planned for today?"
"Actually," Kimiko said, putting her two hands together. "Master Fung said we should take a trip to the beach today for all of our hard work!"
Raimundo then immediately threw his blanket aside.
"No kidding?! For real?!"
"For real, real," Kimiko smiles. "Come on. We need to meet the boys at breakfast."
Kimiko then grabbed Raimundo's arm as she lifts him up and drags him to the dining room, where Omi, Clay, and Dojo were chowing down on their breakfast.
"Oh, good morning, Raimundo and Kimiko," Omi greeted. "Care for some breakfast?"
"Sure," Kimiko nodded.
They both sat down as they begin eating some toast and eggs.
"Raimundo, partner?" Clay asked. "You seemed up in the clouds this morning? Somethin' the matter?"
"Huh?" Raimundo said. "Oh, yeah. I just had this weird dream. I'm just glad it's over."
"Eh, dreams are dreams," Dojo said. "So what's the dream about, buddy-boy?"
Raimundo then sighed and explained to his friends of what happened in his dreams last night. By the time he was done, Omi began to feel all excited.
"Ooh, sounds like a wondrous dream, Raimundo," Omi said, getting up on the table. "If I had that dream, I would go for the Mantis Kick on those horrid creatures! Or the Monkey Strike! Or the..."
"Omi! It's just a dream!" Raimundo snapped. "Let's just try to forget about it, okay?"
"So guys, what are we gonna do on the beach, today?" Kimiko asked.
"Hmm..." the boys wonder at the same time.
"Just hang out, I guess?" Raimundo guessed.
"You're the leader, partner," Clay said with anticipation.
----------------
The sun was shining as there was not a cloud in sight, as the Xiaolin Warriors were just lazying about. Raimundo was just laying there in the sun on the sand, wearing his swimming trucks and his sunglasses over his eyes. Clay was near the water with a fishing pole, hoping to catch some fish. Omi, on the other hand, was in the water, practicing his water element. Dojo was far from the beach as he was preparing up some hamburgers and hot dogs. And...for some reason, Kimiko was nowhere in sight.
"Wudai Neptune Tsunami, Water!" Omi called out.
A spring of water sprays from the ocean in front of Omi.
"Wudai Neptune Lion Strike, Water!" Omi shouted.
The water then began to take form, surrounding Omi.
"Wudai Neptune..."
"Whoa, nelly!" Clay shouted, trying to pull back his fishing pole. "I gotta big one!"
"Wudai Neptune Sea Serpent Attack, WATER!" Omi shouted.
Then, water came springing out from all over the place, as a shocking look came to Omi's face.
"No, no, no!" he shouted.
Then, a huge tidal wave took form, as it hovers above Omi, and surprisingly, Clay. Clay looks up, distracted from his catch. Then, the wave came crashing onto the shore, all the water was swept away to sea. Clay just sat there, as he saw that his catch just swam away.
"Omi!" Clay shouted. "You scared away the fishes!"
Omi then did a pity laugh as he scratches the back of his head.
"Oh yes...my most sincere apology, Clay. I didn't mean to..."
"Oh, when you're outta the water, I'm kicking your a..."
"Hey, guys!" a voice called out.
Everybody then turned to the same direction and to their surprise, Kimiko shows up, holding what seemed to be star-shaped necklaces.
"Hey guys, look what I made for us," she said.
Everybody then got to their feet as they walked up to Kimiko, getting a better look at the necklaces. Each were star-shaped, and each had a different color than the other: blue, green, red, and white.
"Ooh, what wonderful necklaces, Kimiko," Omi said.
"What are they, partner?" Clay asked.
"I made these out of thellasa shells and a Paopu Fruit," Kimiko explained.
"A Paopu what?" Raimundo asked.
"They say that if one eats a Paopu Fruit, it would just be a fruit," Kimiko explains. "But if two or more people were to eat the same Paopu Fruit, their hearts would become one, and their souls would be connected forever, through an eternity. People would normally make these necklaces out of thellasa shells and a Paopu Fruit, and legend has it that no matter where they are, these good-luck charms would bring them together again, no matter what. And what Raimundo said last night really got me thinking about that."
Kimiko then hands Omi the blue necklace, Clay the green one, and Raimundo the white one.
"Even if we're not together," Kimiko continues. "These good-luck charms will bring us all back together again, no matter how far away we are."
They then put their good-luck charms together.
"Well, it's friends till the end for us," Raimundo said.
Dojo then springs up in the middle.
"No fair! How come I didn't get one?!" he cried.
Kimiko then patted him on the head.
"Don't worry, Dojo, I'll make another one for ya."
-----------------
Later, once the monks got tired of being crisped, catching boots and cans in the sea and using too much energy casting Water attacks, they decided to head back to the Temple and enjoy what was left of the day off.
"Phew! That was a radical time at the beach." Raimundo said, admiring his rejuvenated tan.
"Better for you guys. Thanks to the little partner, all I got was cans and boots. Didn't even catch a shrimp." Clay complained.
"I said I was sorry." Omi said with a pitiful smile.
"So what's the leader gonna do now?" Asked Kimiko playfully.
"Ah dunno, go play some Goo Zombies I suppose." Raimundo said. Kimiko gave him a playful look. "And stop calling me that!!" Suddenly, Master Fung came towards them.
"Enjoy your time, young leader?" Asked Master Fung.
"Well, yeah, it was-" Raimundo spoke.
"Good, for a small chore, you can continue your rest." Master Fung interjected. Raimundo gave a disheartened look. "It is quite easy. Simply gather herbs from the greenhouse for tonight's meal."
Raimundo was cursing to himself while going to the greenhouse where the fabled secret of the Heylin Seed lay. He walked in, ready to gather the many minerals for Master Fung. However, it wasn't until he spotted something that made him widen his eyes in both anxiety and worry: the statue to the vault containing the Heylin Seed had been moved aside for access to it's chambers.
"H-Hey!" Raimundo cried. Without hesitation, or fear of the unexpected, he ventured down the flight of stairs in the creepy underground tunnel, ready to fight whatever evil. He reached the secondary security system: the doors held in place by secret locks, which was also opened...or to Raimundo's eyes, blasted aside. He hurried to the vault to make sure the Seed was still dormant, and after reaching the chest, he opened it, and with great visual focus, seen it was safe. "Phew! Don't want you running around again." He placed the chest in the vault and was prepared to leave, casting the door as a natural occurance. However, when he turned, he was face to face with a hooded man. He jerked back, not just in fright, but to catch a better glimpse of the stranger. "Who're you?!"
"This world...has been connected..." The man said with pure malice.
"Wha'?!" Raimundo said in confusion.
"Tied to the darkness. Very soon, it will swallow everything into it's void..." He continued.
"What are you talking about?" Raimundo questioned.
"There is one in your world, which seeks this darkness, unwilling to cling to the light. The anger, disgust and resolution of this individual lead me to this place."
"Seeks...the darkness?" Raimundo questioned. "Sorry, pal, there's nobody here seeking evil. If you want evil, I can point you in the right direction." Behind the hood, Raimundo heard the man chuckle lightly.
"You understand nothing. It is better for one that knows nothing to remain unbeknownst, which lies beyond the door."
"What in Clay's underwear drawer are you..." Raimundo questioned, but was interrupted by a small flash, coming from the empty wall adjacent to him. Raimundo took a glance at the flash. The flash, he noticed, was in the form of a keyhole. "Huh? What is..." He was ready to ask, but the man had vanished, gone from all sight. "Heh, weirdo."
Later once the herbs were gathered and the meals were being prepared, Raimundo sat on the roof of the Warrior's rooms, staring at the fading sunset. He was trying to cast all doubt in his mind about what that man said about the "one seeking darkness". Until...
"What'cha doing up here?" Asked a familiar voice. Raimundo jumped in fright, but was relieved to see Kimiko.
"Oh, hey. Just admiring the Puesta de Sol." Raimundo said.
"The what?" Asked Kimiko.
"Sorry, means sunset." Raimundo said, taken aback by his way of saying "sunset". Kimiko perked herself next to the relaxed Raimundo.
"We've been through a lot together." Kimiko said at last. "Our adventures finding Wu, our fights against the Heylin side. Even you, from being a street smart kid to a leader. And chill, it's a good way, Rai." Raimundo chuckled.
"You're very nostalgic. You got some meaning to those words?" Asked Raimundo.
"For once I do." Kimiko said with a heartened smile. "I'm remembering the Rai that was a street-wise charmer. The wise leader Rai I like too, but I prefer the old you." Raimundo looked away.
"It's hard being both." Raimundo muttered. Kimiko gave a heart-warming smile.
"Rai, don't ever change..."
Raimundo slept somewhat peacefully that night, no longer disturbed by the dreams of the tiny creatures or the giant monster for that matter. That night was the last moments Raimundo had to rest, and he was savouring every second of it.
The next morning saw the Warriors back to training.
"When do you think the next Shen Gong Wu will appear?" Asked Omi, balancing on a pole.
"We just gotta wait for them." Raimundo said, using his wind powers to levitate himself upwards.
"I am growing too restless!" Omi hollered. "It has been a long time since our last mission!"
"Calm down, Omi." Kimiko soothed, also balancing on a pole. "Or you'll..." But her warning was spoken too late, as Omi tripped and fell from the pole, only escaping a hard crash to the head by Raimundo, who used his Wind powers to cushion Omi's fall.
"Nice catch, partner." Clay commented, ending his training, by wrestling the mechanical alligators in the pond, to see what all the commotion was.
"He just got a little excited for the next Shen Gong Wu to come up." Kimiko said, as Omi pouted. Raimundo lowered his eyebrows.
"Could he be-" Raimundo thought, but was interrupted by the rolling sound of thunder. He looked up to see that black clouds had been amassing before their eyes, darkening the sky and the air around them.
"What in tarnation's going on?" Asked Clay. The clouds above them soon started to form a large glowing sphere, to which, Raimundo could tell there was something evil to it.
"Get ready guys! We got butt to kick!" Raimundo said, readying for battle. Then Master Fung came to the Warriors to inspect the cataclysmic force.
"This is most alarming!" Master Fung said in calm panic. "The darkness has come!"
"Darkness?" Asked Kimiko in worry.
"I thought what we were regularly fighting was darkness, right?" Asked Raimundo.
"No, the darkness you were fighting is just a mere shadow to this." Master Fung explained.
"Mere shadow?" Asked Omi in shock.
"Yes. This kind of darkness, is on a whole new level." Master Fung said, with the doom-and-gloom expression, signifying "the end of the world". Still, the Warriors were horrified by it. "Quickly, we must fall back!" But before he could fully signal the retreat, darkness had surrounded the Warriors like a mist, blinding each other's visions.
"Darkness or no darkness! We're gonna beat it! Shoku Eagle Strike Wind!" Raimundo yelled. Using his wind powers, Raimundo blasted the ground, causing the darkness to fade, and the other three were standing in complete confusion of what happened. "Guys, you okay?!"
"Yeah, looks like it." Kimiko said in calmness now.
"We are not alright! Master Fung has gone missing!" Omi pointed out. The other three looked around for his wherabouts, but there was nothing.
"Where did he run off to?" Asked Clay.
"Think he made a run for it?" Asked Kimiko.
"Soemthing tells me we got bigger troubles!" Raimundo said, looking down. The darkness, which was still visible at their feet, began to morph upwards, creating tiny black creatures with glowing yellow eyes. "It's them!"
"I don't like this." Kimiko said, urging closer towards Rai, watching the numbers grow and multiply.
"Enough stalling!" Yelled Omi. "We fight!"
"No wait!" Warned Raimundo. But Omi had already attacked, using his Xiaolin techniques to kill off the black creatures, but quickly, five more grew in place of the destroyed.
"They should be easy to beat!" Clay said, grabbing the ground beneath him, and flipping it upwards, causing the chunk of concrete to flip the creatures under it and crush it on the ground. "Heh! Laters little guys!" but, to his dismay, many more started to grow. One tried to slash Omi with it's claws, but he quickly dodged.
"Is there no end to them?!" Wailed Kimiko.
"Doesn't look like it!" Raimundo growled. But the creatures began to disappear into thin air with a swirl of darkness.
"What are they doing?" Asked Omi. But before they could relish in the thought of them retreating, the darkness began to conjure something bigger, something more sinister than the tiny creatures: Darkside. The giant of a darkness creature towered above them.
"Holy mackeral!" Yelled Clay.
"It's that thing..." Raimundo said in a voice close to a whisper. "Guys! We have to run! This thing'll-" but his warning was too late, the giant black titan plunged it's hand deep on the ground the Warriors stood, as darkness swirlled around them. Omi cried in fright as he felt himself be dragged down.
"R-Release me at once terror of darkness!" Omi comamnded.
"Omi! Hang on!" Cried Kimiko, feeling herself be dragged down also.
"Don't let go, guys!" Raimundo yelled. "Don't let it take over!" But it was too late, the darkness began to completely take over them. Omi yelled as the darknes swallowed him up at last. Clay struggled intensely to break free, but was succumbed, despite his best efforts. Kimiko gave a scream for help, trying to grab onto anything to pull her out, but was in vain, as she was devoured too. Raimundo was putting up the best effort, however, pulling hard with all his strength. "I'm not gonna be eaten by you guys! I'm not gonna let my friends go too! I'm...gonna fight, to protect my friends!!!" But, the darkness devoured him too.
But, while everything was dark, light shone in Raimundo's favour. The darkness was despelled, leaving Raimundo where he was initially. He looked around, but was first caught off guard to see something in his hands: A grey-coloured sword-like weapon, in the form of a gust of wind; the hilt was in the form of wind too, but had more wind curving on both sides of it; and on the end was a small chain, to which an insignia of a gust was connected to. Raimundo looked at this weapon with awe, not of it's appearance but where it came from. He suddenly looked around for his friends. Only one friend was in his field of vision: Kimiko, unconscious, and being attacked by the tiny creatures.
"Leave her alone!" He ordered. Using the weapon he bore, he swiped all of them off, but instead of the creatures vanishing, tiny hearts flew from them and faded away. "That was weird..." But his attention diverted to Kimiko, who was beginning to reawake.
"Rai? What happened?" Kimiko asked.
"Dunno. But we got bigger things to deal with." Raimundo said, looking at the Darkside, who was present all along, with hundreds of the tiny creatures under it's feet.
"Don't like the look of this. But looks like we gotta fight." Kimiko said, readying herself.
"I'll handle the little guys. You stall the big guy for me to get him." Raimundo said, preparing himself and his new weapon. Kimiko noticed it, but was too focussed to question it.
"Got'cha!" Kimiko said. "Wudai Mars Fire!" And from her hands, came a current of fire, which held the Darkside at bay, while Raimundo began hacking away at the tiny creatures, one by one, they were being destroyed with none replacing them. Then, more began to appear and all pounced towards Raimundo.
"Think again!" He yelled and plunged the blade into the ground, causing a power gust of wind to sweep the assailants away. But the wind also dispersed the flames from Kimiko, leaving Raimundo wide open to Darkside's attack. The giant prepared to swipe Raimundo away with the back of it's hands.
"Raimundo!" Kimiko called, pushing Raimundo back, as she was whacked away with sheer force from the menace's attack.
"Kimiko!" Raimundo called in worry. He ran to catch her in mid-air, from the force of the attack. But, Kimiko smiled, as she faded from sight.
"See yah, Rai. Don't forget what I said." Said the feint voice ofKimiko, being blown into the winds. Then, before Raimundo could greave for Kimiko's disappearance, he was pushed, or pulled back, far away from the battle field.
"What in the-!!" Raimundo screamed as he travelled in mid-air. He looked side ways to see at the corner of his eye, he was travelling down the corridor to the Heylin Seed's vault. And when Raimundo finally got to the vault, he braced himself for hard raw pain, thinking he was going to collide with the wall. But, he didn't feel pain, but saw the keyhole shaped glow on the wall, that he saw the previous day. "What's going on!?" The keyhole faded with darkness swirling around it, and for Raimundo all went blank. Not even a shred of light was to be seen.
"I guess...this is it for this bad boy..."
But, for Raimundo, it was not the end. It is only the beginning...
