Ok, hope the whole setting change thing doesn't confuse you too much. I never did understand why we have to put disclaimers in fanfiction on a site called Seems a little pointless. There really shouldn't be any stories on this site which don't use other people's work in them. But anyway... just to be cool or whatever...
Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showodown or any of the characters, nor the Shen Gong Wu that were used in the show. The only thing in this story that is mine is the plot and the origonal Shen Gong Wu that I've made up.
Thanks for reading.

"Hey, guys! A new Wu has revealed itself!" Dojo said excitedly as he entered the room where the dragons in training were entertaining themselves, "It's the -sneeze- the -sneEZE-"

"The Anklet of Manifestation!" Wuya wailed.
"So, what's it do," Jack asked.
"Whoever possesses this Shen Gong Wu, can manifest things out of thin air! There's no time to lose, Jack! This Shen Gong Wu can not fall linto the hands of those Xiaolin menaces," Wuya exclaimed.
"Is every Shen Gong Wu so utterly important that we have to rush out to get it at a moment's notice? Never the less...," Jack grinned evilly, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. Dispite his complaints, this Shen Gong Wu seemed it might be worth it.

"Let's go," Omi said, tossing each of the others suitable Shen Gong Wu.

"Here goes nothing!" Jack said, sliding down the steep mountainside toward the Anklet of Manifestation, which was a gold chain from which was suspended a small, smooth black stone. "It's mine this time, losers," he shouted.
"I don't think so, Spicer. Seismic Kick EARTH!" Clay shouted, causing a pillar of rock to protrude from the side of the mountain, knocking Jack and the Shen Gong Wu down from the ledge they were on, and causing it to tumble down toward the other Xiaolin apprentices.
Jack screamed, flailing his arms and trying not to get buried under the dirt and rocks which were now a small landslide.
"Got it!" Kimiko cried as she leapt into the air, and swiped at it as she fell backwards down the mountain. Raimundo reached for her as she fell past him, but didn't get a hold of her.
Clay used his lasso to catch Kimiko by the foot before she fell too far. She gave Omi a dirty look, as he scrambled up her like a ladder toward the Shen Gong Wu, which was now buried on another ledge on the side of the mountain. He'd seen where it landed, and he was determined to find it.
Jack was digging himself out of the mess of rock and dirt which had landed on the ledge with him and the Shen Gong Wu. He couldn't tell where in the pile it was located, but he couldn't do anything about finding it until he had freed himself.
"Nice going, Clay," Raimundo said sarchastically.
"At least Spicer does not have hold of it," Omi said.
"Look's like I didn't hit him hard enough, partner," Clay answered, seeing that Jack had hold of the Shen Gong Wu again.
"Hah! The Anklet of Manifestation is mine!" Jack gloated, "Oh yeah, baby! With this wu, I'll manifest some major pain for you losers! How's that sound?"
"It doesn't sound pleasant, but you too have spoken before your time, Jack Spicer," Omi said, taking out his Orb of Tornami.
"I think he means 'spoken too soon'," Raimundo explained.
"You sure that's what he meant?" Clay said scratching his head.
"Yeah, pretty sure," Raimundo answered.
"Orb of Tornami," Omi yelled, aiming the jet toward Jack.
Jack let out a yelp as he was thrown backwards into a somersault by the force of the water and then was caught up in a flood of mud, which began to flow down the mountain as Jack bubbled and screamed in a thickening mess.
The Shen Gong Wu, as well, was washed down in the sludge from Omi's attack. Omi's eyes searched back and forth but were unsucessful at locating it. "Where'd it go?" he wondered. "Do not worry, my friends! It is not yet lost! I will find it!" he called out as he ran to and fro in the muddy sludge he'd created.
"Smooth move, egg-head," Jack screamed, in Omi's direction.
Wuya called out from afar off, "Jack, you imbecile, get the Shen Gong Wu. If we lose another one, I'll not stop screaming and flying through you for a week, and I know how you hate that!"
Jack whimpered, and crawled up out of the sludge.
"It's quite obviously not on top of the mud, Jack! Look under the mud," Wuya screamed in rage.
Jack could see Wuya was really angry and probably serious with her threat. Thusly, he began his search for the relatively small and shiny Shen Gong Wu.
Just then, all four of the Xiaolin aprentices, came running at him. He commanded his robots to attack, in a desperate attempt to spare himself a little more time to search the area. The falcon's eye would be helpful about now. Too bad all I brought is the Monkey Staff and Mantis Flip Coin. "Gah!" he screamed in his normal girly tone as he slipped and went sliding down the steep slope backwards.
As Jack was buried further and further in the mud flailing his arms and legs attempting to free himself from its grasp, the Xiaolin warriors fought against his robots, destroying them left and right. It was as if they were fine china trying to survive some sort of insane natural disaster.
"Where is the Shen Gong Wu? Where is it?!" Wuya screamed. By this point there'd been so much use of the elements that the entire mountainside was a huge mudslide.
Dojo called from the sidelines, "You guys, how are we going to find the Shen Gong Wu -sneeze- in this -snort- enormous mess?! I can't even sense the -cough- Shen Gong Wu through all of this rock and mud and -sneeze- water!"
"What was that Dojo?" Raimundo called out in the direction of Dojo's voice. Just then, part of one of Jack's robots hit Raimundo in the side of the head and he fell to the ground. "Ow… Wh… Kimiko be more careful!" he yelled.
"Sorry, Rai! I didn't see you there," she yelled and went to help him up off of the muddy, slippery ground.
That's when Jack reached up out of the mud, grabbing for anything he could find with which he might pull himself free. He happened to find Raimundo's leg, just as the earth was shifted by another of Clay's earth attacks, and there was a cave in beneath them. Raimundo grabbed ahold of Kimiko's hand and she didn't even have a chance to scream before all three of them were pulled downward into a sort of cave. The mud was flowing into the cave rather rapidly from above.
