Summary: Two rivaling martial-arts training camps, the SmackDown and Raw temples, compete against each other to collect and protect the mystical Shen-Gong-Wu from the forces of evil to receive the ultimate training at the Legend Temple. However, students John and Randy of RAW and SmackDown start developing feelings that may throw everything they're working towards off balance.
Book 1 - Prologue
Many centuries ago, the four famous Xiaolin monks: Omi, dragon on the wind, Raimundo, shoku warrior and dragon of the wind, Kimiko, dragon of fire, and Clay, dragon of Earth dedicated their lives to capturing the mysterious Shen-Gong-Wu as hidden by Grand Master Dashi. The Shen Gong Wu were once again hidden to protect them from the forces of evil once again.
Now in present day, many things have changed, and the Shen-Gong-Wu will soon be showing themselves again. It was up to rival training school masters Mark Calloway (better known infamously as the Undertaker) and the team of Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Shawn Michaels (Triple H and the Heart Break Kid) to train their students sufficiently and efficiently to protect the world from plunging into ten thousand years of darkness.
"So our schools will be receiving some students soon I hear."
"That is correct."
"I am positive you'll be training your students very vigorously, you're infamous for your high student success rate."
"That I am."
"As far as the Shen-Gong-Wu go, I must inform you that Shawn and my students will be kicking your students asses."
"We will see when the time comes, Hunter. Until then, I suggest you get rid of some of your combat rust. I'd hate to see your pupils exceed you in the first few weeks."
"That won't be happening, Taker. I'm in the best shape I've been in for years."
"Well then, I wish you good luck with your endeavors."
"Luck is for punk-asses."
"And your point is?"
"Ahh, Undertaker, always with the serious sarcasm."
"We must prepare our students for the inevitable, Hunter."
"Don't tell me…he's returning to the game?"
"Yes. He's intent on plunging the world into darkness."
"That's not going to happen as long as we're here."
"Exactly. Until we meet again, Hunter."
"Which by the looks of it will be very soon."
"Indeed."
"I'm going to miss you, baby."
"Mom, I'm practically grown now. I'm not your baby anymore."
"You'll always be my baby, baby. Now give your mom a hug."
Seventeen-year-old John Cena gave his mother a big hug before waving goodbye as she left.
John looked around, taking in his surroundings. He was chosen out of twelve people to come and train at the RAW Martial Arts Temple and he was pretty excited.
"I can't believe I gave up school education for this!" John said to himself before laughing. "Couldn't say that with a straight face. Fuck school, RAW, here I come." And with that, he entered into the dimly lit temple.
Despite the obvious antique-feel of the entire place, the temple was a very nice sight.
"This place reminds me of my grandmother's house," John heard kid shorter than him say next to him.
"Who are-?"
"Where are my manners? The name's Evan. Evan Bourne. I'm from St. Louis. You?"
"I'm from West Newberry. The name's John Cena."
"Massachusetts? Hmm…I've always wanted to visit there."
"You've got good taste in vacation destinations; it's a really nice place."
"Based on what I've heard, I second that."
"Nice to meet you Evan."
"You too."
"Have you been studying martial arts for a long time before coming here?"
"For quite a while, yes, I've always dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist."
"You look like you excel in it."
"Thank you. What about you?"
"I've been venturing into it for a while. I'm not like some kind of newbie to it, though. I can kick some serious ass, don't get me wrong."
Evan laughed. "Good to know. Coming here with little-to-no experience in the field is like signing your own death certificate."
"So, do you know the agenda for today? I have no idea what we're supposed to do, honestly."
"We get unpacked and chill for a while and then all of us meet up in the dining hall for dinner with the masters."
"How many of us are there?"
"I believe about twelve. Eight guys and four girls."
"Interesting. I suppose we should see where we'll be sleeping."
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?" an irate student yelled, obviously seeing the rooms-or lackluster of rooms-that would be the student's private chambers.
"Any idea who that is?" John whispered to Evan, who was nearly bursting into laughter at the student's outburst.
"I believe that is none other than the infamous Michael 'The Miz' Mizanin."
"That loser that's always uploading those stupid ass videos on YouTube of him starring in his own reality series?"
"Yep. That's him."
"But I understand what makes him say what the fuck because these living facilities are serious pieces of shit.""A great warrior must accustom to any given surrounding."
"Fuck ancient shit like that. Evan, look at this."
John pointed at the small spaces separated by walls and a curtain. Each one had a window on the back wall, two walls on the side, and a curtain in front. The spaces were extremely small and included absolutely nothing but two pillows and a comforter.
"Ok maybe this is bad, but…"
"Don't forget that the girls and guys sleep in the same area."
Evan choked a little bit. "Is something wrong with that?" he asked stutteringly.
"No…I'm just saying. If you hear sounds in the night, you know exactly where the fuck they're coming from."
Evan laughed cautiously. "Don't ruin my appetite with that, John."
John laughed as well. But one thing concerned him; when he said the part about the guys and girls sleeping in the same area, Evan seemed a little cautious and that he looked like he searched for a while before coming up with 'Is that a bad thing?'. He shrugged it off and he and Evan toured the temple for a while before meeting in the dining hall for dinner.
After being warmly welcomed by the masters, the students decided to hang in the sleeping area. Tomorrow was the beginning of their training, and they knew it was not going to be easy.
"These are some rough living conditions," said the beautiful Eve Torres.
"I second that. There's no room for my makeup or anything," the Latina Melina exclaimed.
"Oh boo-hoo, little Latina doesn't have any room for her stupid make-up," Mike replied, rubbing his eyes and pouting his eyes mockingly. "A warrior should not need for any vain item like that."
"Then why is your ego still here?" the short but quick Rey Mysterio piped. Melina laughed instantly.
"My 'ego' is bigger than your entire body," Mike replied bluntly.
"So you admit you're an egomaniac?" Rey responded.
"Do you want to talk to my fist?" Mike threatened.
"Dudes, chillax, it's only the first damn night and you're already about to fight?" John mediated, standing between the two fierce dragons-in-training.
"He's right," Evan supported. "We really should be getting to bed anyway. First day of training is going to be hell on Earth."
"Whatever," Mike spat before entering his area.
"You guys are awesome," Melina clapped.
"You certainly are too, little lady," John replied.
"Well, I'm hitting the sack," Evan announced. "Goodnight to all."
Everyone said goodnight to Evan and chatted for a while before going to bed as well.
As Evan said, the first day of training would be hell for the students.
End of Prologue.
OK, I know you're wondering, where the hell is everyone's favorite Viper. Don't worry. You've only met the RAW temple students. You'll meet the SmackDown ones soon. As for the Shen-Gong-Wu, if you're not a follower of Xiaolin Showdown, I will explain whenever one is revealed what its use is. Same goes for any other Xiaolin Showdown-related concept.
And remember, this is just the prologue. It's just an introduction. All the action and romance and adventure will start very soon.
The more reviews, the sooner you'll meet Randy. *wink wink*
Until we meet again, young dragon.
