The New Foe

Chapter One: A Horrid New Foe

Okay guys, how ya doing? I'd like to clarify these few things before we begin k? In this story the xiaolin apprentices are 18, as works, Spicer is 19, Catnappe 21, Julian 21, Wuya is you know like 10000000. The Xiaolin apprentices have honed their skills, leaving Spicer with very few Wu. Our story begins with Jack Spicer enjoying a vacation weekend in Miami.

"Jack…I understand that you're enjoying your vacation but on your vacation…HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET ANY SHEN GONG WU?"

"Chill out Wuya, I'll get on it just as soon as I come up with a plan."
"Oh yes, you're thinking real hard, I suppose punch and looking at girls helps you concentrate. Well, as long as we're here we might as well seek some more help."

"What do you mean by more?"

"I called in Catnappe for assistance, she'll be at the lab tonight.

"We don't need help, just my bots. I'm getting hungry, you want to hit that restaurant over there?"

"I don't eat you idiot!"

"Yea well I'm hungry, and we're going in there, my vacation lasts 1 more day, so just enjoy it!"

(The Restaurant…)

"Uh yes, um I'll have the…"

BOOM SMASH

As Jack was ordering a waiter smashed through 3 tables, 4 carts, and a kitchen door before finally landing against a stove. It was a tall man, with a knife, in all black, black hair spiked backward, glowing red eyes, with a blank, black mask that covered all but his eyes, and a jet black cape, tall and lanky, probably about 21, it was one seriously messed up looking dude that had knocked out that waiter.

"Anybody else want to try and deny me food?" He spoke in a frightening echoing voice.

"Freeze! Security!"

"Up yours, shouldn't you be off investigating where that last donut went?"

"Okay buddy, you just made your last mistake."

Boom

The shot ripped right towards the guy's head, knocking him straight to the ground. Jack did the girly scream. But something seriously messed up happened right there and then. The man got up, there was no wound, and he laughed. He unsheathed his knife.

"Guess it's true what they say officer, guns don't kill people…" Before the cop could react, the man was upon him holding the knife to him.

"…wanna find out if knives do?"

"L-listen buddy I don't want any trouble, just leave peacefully…"

"Don't want trouble? That's a laugh. You just shot me in the face!"

"I-it must have missed, there's no way you could've survived that…"

"Hm, well let's put the facts together, you aimed at my head, you were five feet away, and the shot knocked me down. I'd say it hit." Unwilling for anymore talk the man pulled the knife from the cop's belly and walked out of the restaurant.

"Wuya why's that look…oh no, no, no, no…"

"Yes, yes, yes, we could not hope for a better weapon of evil."

"B-but he almost killed a guy…"

"He also took a bullet to the head and got up. We need him." Not wanting to hear Jack's sissy whimpering any longer, Wuya flew out to greet our new villain.

"Sir, uh sir…"

"What do you want you hovering hag?"

"Why you…ugh never mind, my name is Wuya, have you ever heard of the Shen Gong Wu?"

"Nope."
"They're items of great power, and your…unique ability would be quite helpful in finding them…"

"What's in it for me?"

"Help me find them and I can guarantee no one will dare ever bother you again."

"Deal."

"What is your name?"

"It's Julian." (Crazy as it sounds, it's actually quite evil isn't it?"

"Wuya tell me you didn't…you did."

"Jack, Julian, Julian, Jack." Wuya smiled evilly.

(One moderately cramped jet ride later…)

"Heh, some lab, couldn't survive an attack from me."

"Hey shut up it could to!"

"So Julian, is there any other unique power you'd like to share with us."

"Yea why not? I have a few…energy crater, skull blaster, energy wave, a duplication power, and my personal favorite, soul strike. Hhhhhyyyyaaaaaa!" Julian took a fighting stance and put his arms to his chest then ripped them away. A massive black beam erupted from the earth shooting straight up and relatively destroying about 1/3 of Jack's lab.

"YOU TRASHED MY LAB!"

"I did warn you."

"Impressive. Let's see that skull thing now." Julian once more took his stance this time moving his arms back and forth at massive speeds, around 7 glowing skulls pulled from his arms and began to chase Jack around the room.

"Make them go away!" Julian launched both arms forward and shot a huge bolt of energy destroying the next third of Jack's lab. Vsss He duplicated himself. Finally two words could be heard as his body began to glow.

"Soul Strike!" He ripped forward in a super powerful punch destroying what little was left of Jack's lab.

"I like these powers, I think it's time you met the Xiaolin apprentices."

"Um, hello, still being chased by horrid heads!" Julian brought his arms together and the flaming fellows disappeared.

"Aw man, it'll take me weeks to rebuild all this."

"Silence! A new Shen Gong Wu has activated…The Magnifier Scope…it can make any projectile weapon larger and more powerful…a perfect Wu for Julian."

"So how exactly do we find this thing?"

"That's easy, you follow me, and it seems this one's on the island of Maui…"

"Alright another vacation!"

"Let's just go."

(One more moderately cramped jet ride later…Wherein Wuya explained the points of Xiaolin Showdowns)

"So which way is this thing?"

"I'd say about 500 feet eastward."

(Meanwhile…)

"It should be inside that tree there."

"So, how is it that grand master Dashi got it in there Dojo?"

"Simple, it had a little hole in it back in the day, he sticks the magnifier scope in there and bam, perfect Shen Gong Wu hiding place."

"Alright so how do we get to this, that tree looks tougher than a rock in a metal box."

"Well, if memory serves, trees don't just grow out of holes in their side. In fact that hole got bigger! There it is!" Dojo flew through a now massive knothole in the side of the tree.

(Inside the tree…)

"There it is, as Kimiko would say Piece of Pie!"

"That's piece of cake Omi."

"Either way there it is!" Omi pointed to what looked like a glowing telescope on the top of the chamber.

"Allow me partner." Clay used his lasso to achieve their goal. Unfortunately as soon as it reached his hand this was heard.

"Shard of Lightning!" As the shard wore off everyone was surprised to see not Jack Spicer, but Julian grabbing the Magnifier Scope.

"Um I don't know you but, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! The game is King of the Hill; first one out of the tree is the loser, my third arm sash against your shard of lightning.

"I accept." The tree didn't really change much aside from more holes appearing in the sides.

"GONG YE TAM PAI!"

Vsss Vsss Vsss 4 Julians now surrounded Clay.

"Spicer, Wuya, I recommend you step back, 4 energy craters generally have quite a punch. QUAD CRATER STRIKE!"

BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM Clay was propelled out of the tree, which returned to normal with Julian holding the magnifier scope, the shard of lightning, and the third arm sash in his hands.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

"Dojo, we have to catch Clay!"

(After catching Clay…)

"Master Fung will be most disappointed."

"Still I can't put my finger on it but, I know that mask from somewhere…Oh well, maybe Master Fung can give me some of that memory tea he makes."

(In the jet…)

"Hey Spicer hold this a sec."

"HOLY CRAP HE TOOK HIS FACE OFF!"

"He took his mask off Jack." Yes indeed he had, of course without it, he seemed a bit less horrid, the glowing eyes affect was destroyed, his eyes were blue, even the scary voice changed to a normal one. Without his horror mask, he looked just fine for a guy his age.

"Chill Spicer, I only wear the thing to keep the whole "ominous" thing going, not to mention the fact, it's a high strength armor, no issues in a fight with that. Of course, I can be killed, that's why I wear this stuff. Then again my folks warned me that even with our powers, I need the armor, boy I didn't need to be told twice. The mask is impossible to penetrate. Been in my family 1500 years."

"Mind numbing."

"Interesting, it's been around since the time of my imprisonment."

"Hey history-freaks, we're here."

(Inside the…well what's left of the lab…10:00 p.m.)

"Well I guess I better get started… surviving Jack-Bots!" About 8 robots appeared.

"Jack-Bots! Rebuild the lab!"

"Oh my little Jack, your lab looks purrfectly destroyed."

"EVIL DIVA!"

"Oh let it go."

"Ah, Katnappe good to see you again!"

"Feelings mutual Wuya. So why'd you call me?"

"Well Jack is still an incompetent idiot, so I figured we need as much help as we could get."

"…and I'm the only one you called?"

"Yes, but Julian's here so that's not a problem."

"Whose Julian? Some other poor schmuck Jack hired?"

"Julian!"

"What do you want Wuya? I was yawn sleeping and frankly…"

"Julian, this is Katnappe."

"Meow, nice to meet ya."

'Wow, total hottie.'

'Wow she's hot.'

"Meow yourself." They kept looking at each other with smiles on their faces until…

"Okay kids, get some sleep, tomorrows a new day, and perhaps a new Wu."

(The Xiaolin Temple…)

"Dojo, this is serious, if this man is who we think he is then Wuya getting to him first is well, the single largest danger the apprentices have ever faced."

"So it's true then?"

"Yes…the dragon of the shadows has risen."

Dun, dun, dun! How ya like it? Well, answer in reviews.
