The Twelve Soul Dragon
By Gigawolf1
Chapter 1: Bear Arm
Racing through the lair of the evil Pandabubba, Omi had gone in deep to find where he was hiding. He had taken a powerful new Shen Gong Wu called the Ruby Rooster. When it had been revealed, Omi had been surprised by the scroll's identification. The Ruby Rooster had a power similar to the Longhi Kite, in that it gave the user wings. The difference was that it would give the user only pure ruby wings, and left unchecked, would turn the user into a ruby statue.
Kimiko and Raimundo had decided to split up when they came to a fork in their path. She knew that Raimundo was the Dragon, who had really wanted the Ruby Rooster, seeing as she overheard him talking to Dojo about it. Meanwhile, Raimundo was laughing at his own cleverness. He had most likely fooled Kimiko into thinking that the Ruby Rooster was on her path. He knew exactly where to find the Ruby Rooster, since he had examined the floor plan using Kimiko's PDA.
Clay moved slowly through the air ducts. Always the Dragon to think the most, he was the only one to realize that the air ducts led right to Pandabubba. He had with him his Third-Arm Sash and Fist of Tebigong, ready to use them if he encountered any of Pandabubba's two henchmen. He felt Dojo moving around in his hat, but just ignored it. The Dragon was acting very strangely.
As the four Dragons converged on their destination, a voice in the shadows of the room said, "Get them as they come."
Omi was the first to arrive. He was quickly stuffed into a sack and hidden in the shadows. Then Clay arrived, and he was also tied up. When Kimiko arrived, Clay shouted, "Look out!" so she was well prepared. She got there not a moment before Raimundo, much to his dismay. The two quickly defeated Black and White, then Kimiko untied Clay. Raimundo took his time letting Omi out of the bag.
"Listen, Pandabubba! Your evil ways, though most dark, are now at their end! We shall now open an ancient can and release it's contents upon you!" shouted Omi. "Why should I even bother correcting that sentence?" muttered Raimundo, to which he received a punch from Kimiko.
"Mwa ha ha hah! I do not fear you little Xiaolin Dragons! I shall crush you with my Bear Arm!" scoffed the infamous Pandabubba.
"Dude, don't you mean your 'bare hand?' Seriously, you're almost as bad as Omi!" questioned Raimundo.
"No, I'm pretty sure I mean my Bear Arm," said Pandabubba. He stepped out of the shadows, revealing his tub of lard, himself, and a golden arm with claws at the end. Dojo looked on in shock. Pandabubba had the Bear Arm, a Shen Gong Wu capable of breaking anything. It could also withstand any force, making it one of the more powerful Shen Gong Wu. The only problem was, one would need the Two-Ton Tunic, Wushu Helmet, Gills of Hamachi, Mantis Flip Coin, and Jet Butsu to get to the Bear Arm's hiding place and back.
Omi pulled out his Orb of Tornami. "Orb of Tornami-WATER!" shouted Omi, activating the special power of the Orb of Tornami, the ability to shoot a torrent of water. Raimundo whipped out his Sword of the Storm, and yelled, "Sword of the Storm-WIND!" This allowed him to re-direct the water from the Orb of Tornami straight at Pandabubba. Kimiko quickly used her Star Hanabi Fire Blast to turn the cold water into seething steam. Clay pulled out his Fist of Tebigong, and roared, "Fist of Tebigong-EARTH!" The resulting fissure swallowed up the lower half of Pandabubba. The Bear Arm was supporting the other half.
Pandabubba pulled himself back up, and ran at the Ruby Rooster, which he had put down minutes ago. Raimundo ran to it as well. They reached it at the same time, and were in shock when Jack Spicer, Evil Boy Genius, took off the Shroud of Shadows. 'But isn't the Shroud in the vault?' thought Clay, before realizing that Jack could have sneaked in at almost any time since he had the Monkey Staff to increase his agility. Jack quickly shouted, "I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My Ring of Nine Dragons against Raimundo's Sword of the Storm and… Pandabubba, what is that thing?" asked Jack. Pandabubba just stared and replied, "It's called the Bear Arm."
"Whatever. Ring of Nine Dragons against Sword of the Storm and Bear Arm. The challenge is to…" looking around, Jack noticed the shadows weren't completely hiding everything, and that there were several lights in the warehouse that Pandabubba had chosen for a hideout. "The challenge is that the last one in the light wins!" All the dragons watched as the warehouse transformed, changing into a large spacious field. The beams of light raced around as Kimiko, Omi, and Clay watched from high above. All three shouted, "Gong Ye Tan Pi!" to begin the battle.
"Bear Arm!" shouted Pandabubba, breaking a large hole in the ground. He struggled to stay up, but the darkness of the hole grabbed the Bear Arm. He tried to pull it back, but Raimundo used the Sword of the Storm to push him in completely. 'So much for Pandabubba,' thought Kimiko. Jack used his Ring of Nine Dragons to duplicate himself into two Jacks. Omi made an annoying comment about this.
"Of course! If Raimundo cannot knock all Jack Spicers into the shadows, Jack can still win! But more importantly, whenever one falls into the shadows, it will rejoin the real Jack Spicer, allowing him to use the Ring of Nine Dragons again! I fear Raimundo may not be able to be successful! Even I cannot think of a way to succeed in such a challenge! That means Raimundo has no chance at all! Sorry, Raimundo!" Omi shouted when he noticed that Raimundo could hear him.
Jack, Omi, Clay, Kimiko, and Dojo were all slightly surprised when Raimundo used the Sword of the Storm to knock both Jacks into the darkness at the same time. The warehouse returned to normal, and Raimundo received all four Shen Gong Wu. However, the Bear Arm was so heavy, he dropped it onto the floor, where it broke the wood and fell deep into the water below. "It's back where it belongs now," said Dojo. "Now no one can get it!"
Wuya screamed in disbelief. "You imbecile! How is it that you lose every important Shen Gong Wu you ever get?" Jack screamed in fear and replied, "Where did you come from? I thought you were after those other Shen Gong Wu you sensed?" Wuya returned the scream, this time in pure rage. "You think I could get them? I came here to get you before you did anything so stupid! And besides, there was a barrier near them."
Later that Night…
"I'm sorry. I know you needed that Shen Gong Wu, but…"
"No buts, Pandabubba. I gave you the Bear Arm to collect a mere… Fifteen Shen Gong Wu for me. If you feel that losing not only the Ruby Rooster, but also the Bear Arm, is something I can forgive, you are most mistaken."
"What if I gave you something for your rustic blade collection?"
"The only thing you could possibly manage to contribute would be a rusty blade! You are known for your breaking of deals and deceptions. You use loopholes in every deal you make. Well, mine has no loopholes in your favor. If you do not get me all the Shen Gong Wu I asked for, your punishment is written in blood. And it also states that you will be punished if the Xiaolin Dragons take even one of them that is found after I hired you! And guess what? They now have the Ruby Rooster!"
"But I…"
"No buts!" The mysterious figure than took one of his swords, and plunged it into Pandabubba. He threw the heavy lump out the window into the street far below, where Black and White took his corpse away. They knew how to deal with the stabbing of Pandabubba.
