SailorStar9: (Sighs) This is the start of the new arc and in regards to Ren, I've mixed in a little of Winx Club in. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Chapter Summary: When Wuya returns to her flesh and blood form, the remaining Xiaolin Apprentices must find a way to defeat her. The only way they know how, is to trap her within a puzzle box. The only way to get one is for Omi to travel to the past and get one from the greatest Xiaolin Dragon ever, Grand Master Dashi, except he does not know how to return.
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.
Prologue: Days Past
"Joke's on you, Wuya." Dojo retorted. "You broke the 'Reversing Mirror'; seven years bad luck. In. Your. Face!"
"Actually, since it's the 'Reversing Mirror' it's seven years good luck." Wuya corrected.
"Hadn't thought of that." Dojo gaped. "Crud."
"It's up to us to take Wuya down." Clay remarked, after Dojo hid back into Omi's shirt.
"There's only one way to do it." Kimiko agreed.
"Xiaolin Style." Omi posed. "'Orb of Tonami', Ice!"
Wuya just let the attack hit, breaking herself free seconds later. "Next." The Heylin witch taunted.
"'Star of Hanabi', Fire!" Kimiko charged in.
"That tickled." Wuya chuckled, stepping out of the flames, unscathed.
"'Third Arm Sash', Earth!" Clay was next.
"Shen Gong Wu, I'm so beyond that power." Wuya mocked. "Let me show you what Heylin magic can do." Powering up, she summoned a stone hand from the ground which attempted to trap the fleeing Apprentices.
"Glitter Dust!" Ren blew her dust onto the ground which grew thick vines that wrapped around the outreached hands. "Holy…" she breathed when her vines tore apart to reveal the stone golems.
"Crush them." Wuya instructed.
"We retreat by being out of here!" Dojo exclaimed, grabbing the teens and fled.
"Okay, how do we fight a super-powerful Heylin witch?" Kimiko panicked.
"We're outclassed, out-gunned and out of luck." Clay listed.
"We must not despair, my friends." Omi encouraged. "There is always a path to victory. Okay," he sighed, once Wuya grew her castle from the ground. "Now we may despair."
"Incoming!" Clay warned as Wuya's stone golems fired flaming rocks at the group.
"Flora Barrier!" Ren's clover-shaped shield was immediately in place, but the fiery rocks were so numerous a number of them bypassed her barrier and striking Dojo. With the dragon knocked out of the sky, the group fell earthwards.
"Ren, Kimiko, Clay, we must hasten our retreat." Omi urged. "The forces of darkness are…"
"Are already here, Omi!" Kimiko finished, the stone golems having found the group.
"Prepare for a most fearsome battle." Omi went into his attack pose.
"'Golden Tiger Claws'!" Raimundo teleported into the scene. "Back up, boys." He shooed the golems back. "I thought I might let you mighty Xiaolin Apprentices beg for mercy."
"Over my dead body." Ren spat.
"Think again, Rai." Clay growled.
"Yes, and think again a third time." Omi agreed. "Because this begging will not happen."
"Maybe you guys don't get it." Raimundo taunted. "I'm the only ones who can save you." His taunt was interrupted by an energy blast from Jack's carrier plane. With Raimundo distracted, Jack flew in and carried the group off.
"Okay, I'm stumped." Kimiko remarked, the group having hid out in a forest. "How are we supposed to beat Wuya if the Shen Gong Wu no longer work against her?"
"The only person to ever defeat Wuya was Grand Master Dashi." Ren supplied as she mediated.
"Yeah, but you missed him by 1500 years or so." Dojo reminded. "Good luck trying to ask him."
"At least not without a time machine." Kimiko added.
"Did somebody say time machine?" Jack echoed. "Behold! Jack Spicer's Evil Time Machine." He revealed the contraption. Using the 'Eye of Dashi', Omi entered the time machine.
"What do you mean you don't know how to get him back?" Ren exploded after Jack informed them about the slight glitch in the plan.
"Oops." Jack muttered.
