Xiaolin Showdown
A New Threat
Part 1
At the Xiaolin temple, Omi was practicing a new attack. It was called 'Rhino Smashing Boulder', which involved focusing chi toward the arms, allowing the user to release attacks at maximum strength.
Raimundo was out in a grassy area, practicing some advanced soccer moves. Clay was carving a wooden horse, and Kimiko was talking to a friend via cell phone. Seriously, why does a monk have a CELL PHONE?
No Shen Gong Wu had revealed themselves for a few weeks, and the monks were getting used to relaxing (Well, besides Omi). Raimundo had used the free time to pull off a series of pranks on the other monks.
Kimiko was the one most annoyed with Rai. Why? Because around seventy-five percent of his pranks were directed toward her. He had downloaded viruses onto her laptop and her PDA (seriously; monk plus laptop plus PDA equals…NOTHING! IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE!), along with 'redesigning her room' while she was away. With what? Three words: Barney the Dinosaur.
Clay wasn't that mad at Rai; after all, the only thing Rai had done to him in the past few weeks was hide his hat in the Shen Gong Wu vault.
Omi was only slightly mad at Rai for dropping a banana peel in front of him while he was doing a difficult training exercise.
Ah, What should I do next? Maybe I should mess with Kimiko's latest video game…that would make her mad. Nah, I haven't done anything to Omi or Clay in a while. I'll just 'borrow' all of Kimiko's games while she's talking to her friend. She's the best to prank, she always gets really mad when I do stuff. Raimundo thought as he walked back to the temple.
Omi spotted him as he finished mastering his move and boasted, "Raimundo, please watch this moooost impressive move that I have mastered! It allows me to release punches at high speed and with impressive strength!"
"Later Omi, I need to do something right now."
"What is it? May I come with you?"
"Um, sure. You can come with me, Kim told me that I could borrow all her video games earlier and I'm just going to pick them up."
"Oh, may I play too?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Ok, but why are you grabbing her laptop?" Omi asked.
"Uh…she said I could use that too."
Omi put his hand to his chin for a few seconds; a gesture implying deep thought.
It only lasted two seconds.
"OK! There would be no reason for you, the leader of this team, to lie to me about this, so I believe you."
"Good, now can you carry her PDA and those other games?"
"Ok, I am glad I came with you, you would never have been able to carry all this stuff without me."
"Sure Omi. Come on, let's take this stuff to my room."
When Raimundo walked out of the door, he saw Dojo scratching a rash he had on his back with a comb.
"Ewww. Whose comb is that?" Omi asked as he took the comb from Dojo, making sure he didn't drop one of the games he was carrying.
"Oh, it's Kimiko's, but that's not the point. A new Shen Gong Wu has revealed itself."
Rai sighed, then used his wind powers to put the games and comb back in Kimiko's room and said, "I'll go get the others."
"Hurry up, this rash is getting bad," Dojo said as he rubbed his back along a wall.
"It wouldn't itch so bad if you didn't scratch it so much," Rai muttered under his breath as he walked out side to get Clay and Kimiko.
He found Clay sitting a rock, carving a cowboy out a block of wood and said, "C'mon. Dojo's sensed another Wu."
"Finally. I was starting to get bored of carving."
"Yeah, I've been really bored too. Go to the garden, I'll get Kimiko."
"Alright Partner, whatever you say."
With that, Raimundo used his powers to fly in the air so he could find Kimiko. Once he spotted her walking by a tree, he flew down behind her, tapped her shoulder, and said, "Boo!"
"Ah!" Kimiko yelled as she jumped in the air and did a 180 degree turn. "Don't scare me like that Rai! It gets annoying after a while." Kimiko said.
"Sorry, but Dojo's sensed another Shen Gong Wu."
"Ok, let me tell Keiko I have to go."
"Alright, but make it quick."
Kimiko turned around and finished her phone call with her friend, then walked to Dojo. When she got to him, Dojo asked, "What took you so long? You don't want Jack to get the Wu first. Do you?"
"Of course not, now go!" Kimiko screamed as she hopped onto Dojo.
Once they were all in the air Rai glanced at Kimiko and asked, "What's the Wu?"
"Hold on," Kimiko said as she reached into her backpack and pulled out the scroll of the Shen Gong Wu. "It's called the Burning Medallion. According to the scroll, it gives the user the power of heat vision." Kimiko said as Rai peered over her shoulder to look at the animation on the scroll.
"Wow, I've always wanted heat vision…" Rai said, imagining himself as Superman, blasting super-villains with his heat vision.
"Yes, Heat vision would be a mooost useful skill in combating the forces of evil!" Omi cried.
"Hey!" Dojo said. "Were almost there. The Wu is in Tokyo."
"Yay! I get to see daddy again!" Kimiko exclaimed.
"Yeah, I wonder if he's gonna give us something like he did last time." Omi said, recalling the little robot that was given to him as a gift.
"I don't know, but I see Jack Bots, at ten o'clock." Raimundo said as he jumped off Dojo and used his wind powers to fly toward them.
Kimiko held up her Wudai weapon, Arrow Sparrows and used to blow up five Jack Bots that were zooming toward her.
"Five down, around thirty more to go!" Kimiko exclaimed.
A few seconds later, Omi held up his Orb of Tornami and used to freeze four Jack Bots in mid flight, sending them crashing to the ground.
"Haha! As always, defeating Jack's robot's is a piece of pie!" Omi yelled as he destroyed two more by punching one as it flew by into another.
"It's a piece of cake Omi," Raimundo corrected as he used his Blade of the Nebula to trap six Jack Bots in a tornado and threw them to the ground.
"Third Arm Sash, Earth!" Clay screamed as he used his Shen Gong Wu to crush three nearby Jack Bots.
"Those moves were nice and all, but watch this." Raimundo confidently said. "I call this move, Air Assault!"
Raimundo then shut his eyes and held out his hands. Air started to gather in huge spheres around his hands. Then hundreds of needles made of the gathered wind fired out and destroyed ten Jack Bots.
"That is a mooost powerful attack, but you should starve your eyes upon this great move." Omi said as he started standing up on Dojo.
"Ok, I'm watching, but it's feast your eyes, not starve them." Rai commented.
"Oh, my badness, but here it is. Rhino Smashing Boulder!"
Omi's arms started to glow bright yellow. Then he jumped over to a group of eight Jack bots and crushed them all with two lightning fast strikes.
"Nice Omi, but watch this! I decided to make a new move myself, Blazing Barrage!" Kimiko said as she gathered as much fire as she could to her hands and released it in an incinerating wave that destroyed nine Jack Bots.
"That attack was hotter than a horse's saddle on a blazing summer day, but now it's my turn. Wudai Crater, Earth!" Clay yelled as he smashed seven Jack Bots with a boulder.
Since that attack destroyed the last of the Jack Bots Then Raimundo floated back onto to Dojo and asked, "Where's the Shen Gong Wu?"
"It's right below us, probably in that museum of ancient artifacts."
"Ok Dojo, let's go! I want to have time to go see daddy again."
"Alright, I'll be down in a sec."
Later, when the monks were in the museum, they spotted the Burning Medallion in the hand of an old statue.
"There's the Shen Gong Wu, in the hand of that old statue." Clay stated.
"Cool, and Jack's nowhere to be seen." Rai said as he scanned through the crowd in the museum.
"Yes, I'll just jump up there and grab the Shen Gong Wu," Omi confidently stated.
Right as Omi started to walk toward the statue, Jack threw off a large jacket he was wearing as a disguise and flew for the Wu.
"Thanks for telling me where the Wu is Xiaolin losers!" Jack yelled as he used his heli-bot to fly past Omi and grab the Wu first. "Yes! I, evil boy genius, Jack Spicer, have outsmarted the not-so-mighty Xiaolin warriors once again! Hahaha ha hahahaha!"
"Not so fast you snake!" Clay yelled as he threw his lasso at Jack.
"Nuh uh uh." Jack said as he pulled a laser out of his pocket and blasted the rope, vaporizing it.
"That's new Jack, but it won't stop me from kicking your butt!" Rai exclaimed as he flew into the air and unleashed an uppercut to Jack's chin.
Jack was sent flying into a wall at high speeds, crushing his heli-bot. When Jack fell to the ground, Omi started running toward him.
"AH!" Jack screamed as Omi came closer. "Burning Medallion!" Jack yelled as a last resort.
Two red beams of heat shot out of Jack's eyes and hit Omi dead on, sending him soaring backward.
"Hang on there Partner! I got you!" Clay stated as ran and grabbed Omi right before he slammed into a wall.
"Thank you Clay. I would have been in a very large amount of pain if I had hit the wall," Omi said.
"No problem, now let's get in there and show that snake who's boss!"
Jack grinned with cheerful malevolence. "Hahahahahaha! With this new Shen Gong Wu, no one will be able to stop me!"
"Wrong again Jack! Judolette Flip, Fire!" Kimiko screamed as she enveloped her hands in fire and charged at Jack. And before any of you ask, it's pronounced "jew-doh-lay'. It's not a female version of Judo.
"Stop right there! Blazing Medallion!" Jack screamed as he once again shot out heat beams from his eyes.
Kimiko jumped over the beams and tried to kick Jack. "Hayah!" She screamed as her kick flew toward Jack.
"Not so fast!" Jack screamed as he held out his laser and shot Kimiko.
The blast hit Kimiko on the shoulder, burning a small hole in her uniform and giving her a bad burn. "Agh!" She screamed as she grabbed her shoulder in pain.
"That's it! Your going down! Try this new move on for size! Air Cutter!" Raimundo screamed as he slashed his hand horizontally, sending a razor-sharp circle of wind toward Jack.
"Hahahahaha!" Jack triumphantly laughed as he clicked a button on his wrist that made a transparent force field appear around him. "I noticed how easily you always defeat me, so I decided to make sure I'd be protected next time we met. It'll take quite a bit to break this force field…of DOOM!"
"Oh yeah," Clay said. "Well I'd say we have quite a bit!"
"Yes, we even have more than quite a bit! We have a ton!" Omi stated.
"Gosh, you really need to learn how to make things sound intimidating. You're horrible at it, but whatever, bring it on!" Jack said.
Omi jumped to the roof and bounced back toward Jack, using Rhino Smashing Boulder, while Clay ran along the ground, then jumped in the air and used Seismic Kick.
As both attacks neared Jack, he held up his blaster and fired toward Omi. The laser passed through a hole that automatically appeared when Jack's laser hit it.
The blast soared toward Omi, but he dodged and continued his descent. Then, both attacks slam into Jack's force field (of DOOM!), causing a cloud of dust to envelop the immediate area.
When Omi and Clay jumped back out of the dusty air, they stared intently at the fading cloud of debris. Once the dust settled, they saw Jack lying on the ground, his force field (of DOOM!) was broken.
Jack quickly noticed the medallion was a few feet away from him and jumped on it. He snatched it up and said, "Blazing Medallion!"
He opened his eyes as wide as he could and released huge red beams of heat that sent Omi and clay flying into a wall, knocking them unconscious.
Meanwhile, Kimiko was starting to stand up with the help of Raimundo. "C'mon Kim, get up, we can't let Jack get away with the Wu!"
"Right. Let's go!" Kimiko agreed.
"Wudai Star, Wind!" Raimundo yelled as he held out his hands and sent a giant gust of wind that blew the Burning Medallion out of Jack's hands and into the head of one of the many people watching the fight.
Kimiko ran and grabbed the Wu then tossed it to Raimundo saying, "Here Rai! Use it now!"
"Got it! Burning Medallion!" Rai screamed as he opened his eyes and blasted Jack with heat vision.
"Ahg!" Jack yelled in pain as he rubbed the burns he received from the attack. "That's mine!" He screamed as he shot the Wu out of Raimundo's hand.
Then Raimundo, Kimiko, and Jack all jumped at the Wu. Raimundo and Kimiko instantly called out, "Jack I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"
"I'll wager my Eye of Dashi," Raimundo said.
"I'll wager my Star Hinabi," Kimiko said.
"And I'll wager my Monkey Staff," Jack stated.
"The game is Gauntlet of Golems. The first to make it past all the fighting rock statues and reach the Wu wins."
Then all three all yelled in unison, "Gong Yi Tanpai!"
Then all the old rock statues that had been sitting on display came to life and walked into the main hall of the museum. All of the people who weren't participating in the showdown were put in floating rock containers that followed the three warriors wherever they went.
The race started with Jack using the Monkey staff to jump on and crawling over a few of the golems. That was immediately followed by Raimundo breaking two golems with the Eye of Dashi and Kimiko doing the same except with the Star Hinabi.
Jack had a twenty foot lead on the monks and looked back to taunt them. Once he turned around, a golem stepped in front of him and grabbed him. He noticed that Raimundo and Kimiko were catching up so he said, "I guess it's always a good time to cheat. Jack Bots, attack!" As his Jack Bots moved into action, he added, "Next item on the menu: two hot bowls of PAIN!"
Two of his robots flew down and freed him from the golem's grip. Meanwhile, ten others flew off to fight Raimundo and Kimiko, but the Robots were quickly destroyed by the combined force of the Eye of Dashi and the Star Hinabi.
Jack saw his robots get destroyed, and instantly bolted as fast as he could toward the Wu. When he saw that Rai and Kim were catching up, he pulled out his laser and shot at Kimiko.
"Look out!" Rai said as he pushed Kimiko out of the way of the laser.
"Thanks Rai. Let's go get that Wu!"
"Yeah! Eye of Dashi!" Raimundo yelled as he used his Wu to shoot the laser out of Jack's hand.
"Ah! That's how I cheated! And no Jack Bots…" He gritted his teeth angrily. "C'mon! Must run faster!" Jack screamed as he sprinted on all fours.
"Star Hinabi!" Kimiko yelled, shooting a blast of fire at Jack, sending him tumbling to the ground.
"Ow! That hurt!" Jack yelled as he frantically tried to stand up and run again.
"Wudai Star, wind!" Raimundo yelled as he shot a horizontal tornado out of his hands and angled it to slam Jack into a wall.
"Good! Now Jack's out of the picture, getting the Wu will be easy." Kimiko said, looking over to Rai.
"I think you spoke too soon." Raimundo said as he pointed toward a large group of golems standing in front of the burning Medallion.
"How are we going to destroy them all?" Kimiko asked.
"I think we should combine our new attacks: Blazing Barrage and Air Assault!" Rai replied.
"Good idea."
Then both the monk ran along side each other and yelled simultaneously.
"Air Assault!"
"Blazing Barrage!"
Hundreds of spinning fiery javelins were sent flying forward inside a tornado. Target: the golems.
A huge explosion erupted as the mighty attack crashed into the golems. After the smoke settled, all that was left of the rock creatures was a pile of rubble.
"Yeah!" Kimiko yelled as she saw how successful the attack was.
"C'mon! let's go get the Wu before more rock beasts come," Raimundo said.
"You're right, wouldn't want to have to fight anymore." Kimiko replied.
With that, the monks ran forward and grabbed the Shen Gong Wu. Then the environment went back to normal and hundreds of people gazed at the two teens that just defeated a legion of rock creatures in a single move.
Then Omi and Clay woke up and walked toward Rai and Kim.
"We should go before the media starts asking questions," said Raimundo.
"Yeah, let's hop on Dojo and fly to Daddy's factory," Kimiko suggested.
"Did I hear someone call my name?" Dojo asked as he slithered toward Kimiko.
"Yeah, we want to ride you to Kim's dad's factory so she can see him again," Raimundo explained.
"Hop on the Dojo express, I'll get you there in no time at all," Dojo said.
"Thanks Dojo," Kimiko gratefully said.
With that, the monks hopped on Dojo and started flying toward Kimiko's dad's factory.
