An Explosive Entrance

It was the usual day. Wake up 7:30, say goodbye to mum, leave the flat. Catch the bus to work. Arrange the plants, set up a display, lunch break – meet up with Omi at Trafalgar Square. Have some fun, and then back to work. Shop closing in five minutes. Brilliant, time to leave. Out the shop – no, wait, take this to Wilson. Now this was different, but fine. She walked into the lift and descended. Into the basement. She stepped out and walked down the corridor.

"Wilson!" she called, and knocked on his office door. There was no reply. She frowned and knocked again.

"I've got the lottery money! I can't hang around, they're closing the shop!" She rattled the handle and jumped at the noise behind her.

"Wilson, is that you?" she asked, and walked towards the noise, through rows of plant pots. She couldn't see anyone.

"Is there someone messing around?" she called, hearing another noise. She jumped as a pot crashed behind her.

"Who's there?" she called. As she spoke, a plant grew out of the pot, but she didn't hear it. It grew into a sort of body. There was a crash and roots broke through the bottom, forming legs.

"Is someone throwing pots around?" she called, and turned around. As she did, the plant stood up and walked towards her.

"Whose idea was this?" she shouted, backing away. "What is it, remote-controlled?" As she walked away, the pots on each side of her grew plants too, and they advanced. She gasped as she felt the wall behind her. The first plant was in front of her, and it was covered in razor sharp spikes. It was going to kill her. She closed her eyes, and prepared for the inevitable.

She felt something grab her hand, and she turned to see a young man next to her. He had brown hair, bright green eyes and a warm smile. He seemed to be wearing some sort of black robe, like a monk, with a golden sash. There was a small image on the left sleeve.

"Run!" he hissed, and pulled her away from the plants. He led her through a set of doors, and into a lift, with the plants following. One of them tried to grab him as the door closed. He pulled a bronze sword from his sash and cut the vine off. He threw it to her.

"Be careful with that," he warned her.

"What was that?" she asked breathlessly.

"What did it look like? It was a plant."

"It can't have been a plant. It was a trick, by some students, or something."

"What makes you say that?" he asked, looking at her with interest.

"I dunno."

"Well, you said it. Why?"

"They were probably animatronics, so there'd need to be a lot of people to make them, and students are silly like that."

"That's very clever," he said, and grinned at her. "That's wrong."

"Well, whoever did it, they're gonna get it when Wilson finds out."

"Who's Wilson?" he asked.

"He works down here, he's…"

"He's dead," he said, finishing the sentence. He walked out as the lift stopped, with her following.

"That's not funny, that's sick!" she said. He ignored her and held up his sword.

"Hold on," he muttered. "Sword of the Storm!" He spun the sword and the lift was filled with wind, knocking the walls out. He ran towards the exit, and she followed.

"What did you do? Who were they?" she shouted. He skidded to a halt and opened the door, pushing her out onto the street.

"I wedged the lift into the walls so they can't use it. They're Heylin Plants, and they're trying to take over the world, so I'll just have to get rid of them. Lucky I have this." He held up a small box. "Is there anyone in there?"

"No, no one," she replied.

"Good. Now, I'm going to blow up this building, and kill the plants. I might die, but what do you care? Go and have some beans on toast, or something. And don't tell anyone about this, because if you do, you'll get them killed." He slammed the door and she stood there in surprise. The door swung open again and he looked out.

"I'm the Doctor, by the way, what's your name?" he asked.

"I'm Kimiko. Kimiko Tohomiko."

"Nice to meet you, Kimiko. Run for your life!" He shut the door again and she ran down the street. Once she thought she was far away enough, she turned back to look at the shop. As she did, there was a loud bang and the whole place was on fire. She ran away, not noticing the blue police box she passed.

Most main characters have been replaced by Xiaolin Showdown characters. There's a few that stayed, but... anyway. R&R, I'll update ASAP.
