"Dojo's Other Half"

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Xiaolin Showdown' in any way.

NOTE: This story takes place when Wuya was with Chase Young (whenever that was, I already forgot), so that's why she's absent in this fic.

Open on the Xiaolin Temple. Night. Half a moon is out. Inside, the Xiaolin Warriors and Dojo are in a deep sleep. Everyone is snoring up a storm. Dojo is resting in the kitchen. All of a sudden, the green dragon wakes up and jumps out of his bed.

"Ooh! A new Shen-Gong-Wu has just (yawn) revealed itself." His eyes slowly close, but he wakes back up when he starts to shake uncontrollably.

"Ok! I'm up, I'm up!"

Dojo slithers to Omi and knocks his fist on the little monk's head. "Hello, did you hear me? There's no time to lose. A new Shen-Gong-Wu is out for the taking!"

"Upper body strength …" Omi mumbles. He resumes snoring. Dojo slithers to Clay's bed and lifts the tip of his hat to talk into his ear.

"Come on, cowboy, rise and shine!"

Clay doesn't budge. Then, Dojo slithers to Kimiko. "Master Fung is giving away all your shoes!" She is also out like a light. "No …?"

Dojo slithers to Raimundo, but then stops half-way. "Yeah, right." He turns around and exits the house.

"Well, since everybody's too lazy to get up, then I guess it's up to me to retrieve the Wu." He sighs, grows into his full size, and flies out of the Temple.

A few moments later, Dojo lands in an open field about fifteen miles from the Temple. He shrinks back and starts to take a look around.

"Ah, I can't see a thing. I sure wish I had a candle or some sort of light to --" All of a sudden, a huge light appears in the sky and Dojo hears the faint sound of helicopter propellers. Dojo looks up and notices Jack Spicer flying down in his heli-bot with three Jack-bots hovering around him. Jack is wearing a night cap and pajamas with baby giraffes printed on them. He's also sleeping. The three Jack-bots have spotlights in their chests.

"Jack Spicer! This Wu is mine!" Dojo exclaims. A bit of drool drops from Jack's lip. A Jack-bot looks at Jack and nudges him with his elbow. Jack snorts and slightly opens his eyes.

"No … no! I don't need another bikini wax," Jack mumbles. The Jack-bots look at each other in confusion.

A Jack-bot's hand transforms into a blow horn. The horn honks which abruptly wakes up a screaming Jack.

"What? Why am in the fields?" He looks down and notices he's high up in the air. He screams again. "I'm falling! Someone save me!" A Jack-bot leans over and whispers into Jack's ear. Dojo raises an eyebrow. Jack rubs his eyes and looks at Dojo. "What time is it?"

"It's just you and me, Spicer. And I'm leaving with the Wu," Dojo said firmly. Jack sniffs and turns to one of his Jack-bots.

"Did I poop?" Jack asks. The Jack-bot's hand opens and points to Jack's face. A purple mist sprays out of the hand which puts Jack to sleep. The Jack-bot puts its other hand around Jack's face and squeezes his cheeks together.

"Jack-bots, attack!" the Jack-bot yells while imitating Jack's voice.

"Huh?" Dojo asks himself. The Jack-bots start to charge at Dojo while, at the same time, their arms transform into buzz saws. Dojo gulps and backs away slowly. Out of nowhere, a huge burst of flames hits the Jack-bots and fries them instantly. The robots crash to the ground, exploding on impact. Silence. Dojo shifts his eyes.

"Did … did I do that?" He hears a rustle in a bush nearby. Dojo shakes in terror. "Who-who's there?" He hears growling from the bush, which gets louder and louder. "D-d-d-don't make me h-hurt you." A shadowy figure pops out of the bush. Its eyes glow red.

"D-don't hurt me!" Dojo yells. He panics and tries to run away, but the figure begins to speak.

"Dojo …?" it asks in a soft voice. The frightened dragon stops in his tracks. He slowly turns his head to the side, barely looking at the shadowy figure.

"M-m-monster?" The figure steps out of the shadows and reveals itself to be a pink girl dragon who looks a little like Dojo.

Dojo whips around and gasps. "Doja? Is that really you?" The pink dragon nods and stares into Dojo's eyes. She smiles and opens her mouth.

"I've missed you, my love."


Open back on the fields. Dojo and Doja stand across from each other, still looking into the other's eyes. Doja grabs something from behind her back and shows it to Dojo.

"I believe this is what you were looking for?" she asks while holding a Shen-Gong-Wu. Dojo nods as she drops it in his hand.

"Where – how did you – how did you find me?" he asks. "The last time I saw you was 1,500 years ago in Beijing. You just disappeared … without saying good-bye." Doja sadly looks down.

"I … I was taken. I've been imprisoned since about a few years ago. I finally broke free and have been flying all over the world trying to find … you. I've been running for this man is relentless in doing whatever he can to capture me again. But I can't go back, Dojo. You don't know how horrible it was to spend all those years in that cage …"

"It's ok, Doja. You're with me now." He put his arms around her. "I promise I won't let anything harm you ever again." She closes her eyes and holds Dojo tight.

Meanwhile, Jack is still sleeping in mid-air. His heli-bot sputters indicating that it's out of gas. The propellers stop spinning, and Jack opens his eyes half-way. He screams while falling. He lands face first and immediately resumes snoring.


It was now the next day. Morning. At the Xiaolin Temple, the Warriors are just waking up. Raimundo walks past the others' beds.

"Morning, guys." Kimiko turns to Raimundo.

"Morning, Raimundo," she replies. Clay stretches and yawns.

"Morning, Kim … morning, Rai."

Omi wakes up and starts to make his bed. After that, he walks over to the kitchen where everyone else is.

"Good morning, my fellow Apprentices!" He turns around. "And a good morning to you as well, Doj –" Omi raises an eyebrow upon seeing Dojo not in his bed. "-- O?"

Kimiko and Raimundo sit at the kitchen table while Clay makes breakfast.

"Has anyone seen Dojo?" Omi asks.

"He's not in his bed?" Kimiko asks. Omi shakes his head.

"That's weird. It usually takes Dojo another hour to get up," Raimundo states.

"And his bowl is filled to the brim," Clay chimes. "He never goes or does anything without eatin' breakfast first. We all know he's never missed a meal."

"Maybe he's … watching his weight?" Kimiko asks. They all look at each other and bust out laughing.

"My friends, I am worried. Dojo has had the same habits for 1,500 years! It is highly unlikely that he is changing them now," Omi says. Raimundo nods.

"You're right, Omi. I'll take a quick look around the Temple." He grabs a Wu from behind his back and raises it in the air.

"Serpent's Tail!" The tail flies Raimundo through one of the walls as he begins his search. Kimiko stands up from the table.

"I'll go ask Master Fung if he's seen Dojo." She walks out of the kitchen.

"And I shall scour the fields surrounding the Temple!" Omi yells. He grabs a Wu and raises it in the air. "Golden Tiger Claws!" He creates a portal and then jumps into it.

Clay turns around with four plates of food in his hands. He raises an eyebrow, seeing everyone else left.

"Huh. Well, more for me."


Back at the fields where Dojo and Doja still are, they are talking while lying down. They've been talking the whole night.

"… and so for the past year, I've been helping the Xiaolin Apprentices locate the Shen-Gong-Wu I hid before evil gets to them first," Dojo says, finishing what he was telling Doja. She smiles.

"I'm glad you've been doing so well in helping good triumph." Doja looks down. "The forces of evil have grown so very strong since the last time we were together, Dojo. I thought they were going to break us apart for forever." He holds her hand.

Fifteen feet away from the dragons, Jack is just waking up. He gets up on his knees and begins rubbing the back of his head. He looks around and sees his dismembered Jack-bots.

"I need a new hobby." He looks up to see the two dragons talking. He ducks down so they won't spot him, and tries to listen in on what they're saying.

"How did you find me? I mean, this is exactly where the new Wu was. Can you track Shen-Gong-Wu, too?" Dojo asks. Doja sadly nods while Jack sneers.

"I've been working on hindering my senses in tracking them," she responds. "The last Wu I sensed was about a year ago. I really had everything under control, though. I didn't want to sense these objects anymore. But then, only for this particular Wu, my senses kicked in and I wasn't in control anymore. It was like I was meant to come here so we could finally be together again."

Out of nowhere, Jack fires a gun that shoots out a big net, capturing Doja. Some of it ties around her mouth, preventing her from breathing fire. Dojo gasps as Doja starts to panic. Jack begins to approach them.

"I've been searching for a new Shen-Gong-Wu tracker. My robots are too … combustible."

"Let her go, Spicer!" Dojo screams as he grows to his full size.

"I don't think so. Sphere of Yun!" Jack's Wu activates and shoots at the dragon trapping him in a large indestructible ball, causing Dojo to shrink again. The evil boy genius cackles.

"You know what that means!" The Wu that Doja gave Dojo disappears from his hands and reappears in Jack's.

Then, a few feet away, a portal opens. Omi jumps out of it and observes the situation.

"Jack Spicer! Why am I not open-mouthed!" Omi yells.

"That's 'surprised'. And give me a sec, will you?" He inspects the Wu and smiles. "So, this is the Rush Bracelet. When worn, it's supposed to give its user the ability of super speed. Cool!"

"Release the dragons at once or suffer an embarrassing defeat!" Omi shouts as he charges at Jack.

"I choose … neither. Rush Bracelet!" Jack equips the Bracelet and super speeds out of the way. Then, he quickly grabs the Golden Tiger Claws from Omi and hits the back of his head, causing him to fall flat on his face.

Dojo breathes fire on the Sphere of Yun but it has no effect. He gazes at Doja, who is looking very scared, and then turns to Jack.

"Jack, please don't do this! You have no idea what she's been through!"

"That's right. Don't know, don't care. Well, me and my tracker have Shen-Gong-Wu to grab, so … later, losers!"

Jack grabs Doja and raises his other arm in the air. "Rush Bracelet!" Dojo catches a quick glance of Doja, who has a tear in her eye. They super speed off into the distance.

"Doja!" the green dragon shouts with terror in his voice. Omi slowly gets up. He has a piece of grass in his mouth, which he immediately spits out. He then walks over to Dojo.

"Do not hang your head, my friend. We will find and rescue Doja unharmed," he says reassuringly. "You have my word." Dojo nods and turns his head towards the monk.

"… Thank you, Omi …"

Fade to black.
