Here's the newest chapter. This time, we get to the actual story line. Enjoy


The monks were still gathered where they had been. As Adam returned, Master Fung remembered something important.

"Young monks, it is very important that you listen to my instruction. We will begin a series of tests to strengthen your elemental capabilities." He explained to them.

"Cool, I get to break more nice things." Alex exclaimed.

"Slow your roll, kiddo. We have a way of determining who trains in what order." Dojo interrupted.

"He's right. Your training will be determined based on whoever has the most untapped potential." Master Fung explained.

"Well, let's get it going. Clearly I will be first, because I have the most nonpicked potential." Omi gloated, massacring slang as he spoke.

"I hate to burst your bubble kid, but you're not first." Dojo told him. Omi went wide eyed and pouted.

"Well, who's first then?" Jenn asked the two.

"That will be revealed very shortly." Master Fung replied.

"Can't you just tell us now?" Brian asked impatiently.

"I cannot, as even I do not know who is first." Master Fung answered. The monks stared at him in a confused unison.

"Allow me to explain. You see, as the universe feels the growth of your potential, it will reveal an Elemental Shen Gong Wu. The dragon who trains first corresponds to whatever element the Shen Gong Wu is. Once the first Wu reveals itself, we will have our answer." Master Fung elaborated.

"Well you're about to get your answer." Dojo said as he slithered over, scroll in hand. Adam took it from him and opened it.

"The Glacier Needles. I'll give you one guess as to who they're for." Adam said as he handed the scroll to Kat.

"It says that they're thin needles made of ice, which are sharp enough to pierce through any material. Sound pointy and dangerous." Kat said, reading the scroll.

"They also sound perfect for cooling drinks off." Kim added.

Alex took the scroll from Kat. "Damn, it says we have to go to Antarctica to get them. Kat, why do you have to be ice? Why can't we have to go to the Caribbean instead?"


Wuya, and surprisingly enough Jack, were standing in front of Chase.

"I'm still mad at you Chase. Can we hurry this up?" Wuya practically spat at him.

"What's this about, anyway?" Jack asked.

"It's come to my attention that not only have Jack's oddly successful cousin and short and obnoxious girlfriend become Xiaolin Dragons, but them and the other dragons are becoming more powerful." Chase told them.

"You don't mean…" Wuya gasped.

"Yes, the elemental Shen Gong Wu have begun to reveal themselves." Chase continued.


The monks and Dojo crashed landed in a pile of snow. The wind was blowing hard and it was hard to see anything.

"You know, normally I'd complain about not being able to see, but let's face it, all there is to see is snow, I'm clearly not missing anything." Adam sighed.

"Normally I'd complain about being cold, so I will. Damn it, it's cold here." Kimiko said, rubbing her arms.

"How does the universe expect Kat to find things made of ice, when everything here is made of ice?" Raimundo asked.

"Simple really. It's called get off your ass and look." Keith replied.

The group dug themselves free of the snow and started searching for the Glacier Needles, but they weren't having any luck.

"So much ice… so much snow. How am I supposed to look at ice cream again?" Brian moaned.

Brian went to sit in the snow, but felt a sharp pain as he did. He sprung up and rubbed his butt. Kat saw this and walked over, she pushed him and he landed face first in a snow bank. She dug a little bit and pulled out five blue and gray icicle-like needles.

"Look What IIIIIIIIIIIIII got~." Kat sung. The others turned, their faces showed relief. The monks, feeling that this was a perfect time to leave, got on a now full size Dojo and flew away from the frozen wasteland.


China was beautiful compared to the Antarctic tundra. Adam pulled off his heavy winter coat and spread his arms to his side, absorbing the warmth. Master Fung greeted the monks, and then got down to business.

"Now that you have retrieved the Wu, it is time for your training." He said, getting to the point. The group of kids went over to the training ground. Half of the course that was set up in front of them was dangling above water, and the other half was in flames. Kat looked at the course and blinked.

"A true master of Ice can not only freeze water, but encase fire in a layer of ice so cold that it calms the flames." Master Fung told her, sensing her confusion.

"Is that all?" Kat said, sarcasm in her voice. Master Fung nodded. Kat gripped the Glacier Needles in her right hand and stepped up to the training ground. She was about to begin when the temple rocked and a crashing noise was heard on the south side. The monks, Dojo and Master Fung ran over to find Wuya.

"Hello my dear friends. I come bearing a gift for you." Wuya said slyly. She whistled and a large object crashed through the wall. As the dust cleared, the object revealed itself to be a large elephant. This elephant was no normal elephant, it had large horns which resembled blades, it was black, had piercing yellow eyes and red and orange markings that seemed to glow.

"That looks nothing like the elephant I used to feed peanuts to at the circus." Raimundo said timidly. Wuya let out an ear piercing cackle and the elephant cried out viciously. The group was about to get into battle positions when Kat stepped in front of them.

"He interrupted MY training, I will destroy this overgrown circus freak." Kat told them. She turned and glared at the elephant, and it did the same.

"Doesn't this surprise you guys?" Zach asked.

"Partner, we've fought fat ninjas, an evil French plant, a talking bean, a Cyclops, an evil snowman, an imitation Cat Woman, a…" Clay told him, counting off as he went.

"I get it, it isn't weird." Zach interrupted, stopping the Cowboy.

Kat placed the Glacier Needles in her ponytail and unsheathed her katana. Holding it in her right hand, she charged at the elephant. It countered with one of its blade-like tusks. It swung at Kat with its trunk, but she flipped backwards and dodged it. She swung at it again, but, being surprisingly agile, it was able to dodge her blade. She repeated, with the same result.

"Who put sugar in your corn flakes this morning, you hyper sonofabitch." Kat called out at the mammal. It responded with a loud trumpet and began to charge at her. She inhaled, an then exhaled sharply, a frigid wind blowing towards the beast. The cold wind slowed the beast down slightly, but it shook it off and sped up. She crossed her arms in front of her and spread them to her sides, making a wall of ice in front of her. The elephant slammed into the wall. Small cracks were made, but the wall held. It backed up and charged again. This time the force of the impacted shattered the wall, shards of ice rained down on Kat. She flung her arms up and all the ice flew into the air. She then flung them down to her sides and the shards, now full blown icicles rained down on the elephant. Its skin was thick enough to keep it from being injured, and a majority of the ice just bounced off.

"Okay, I lied. Someone toss me something useful." Kat called out to the others. Adam, in response, threw her the Third Arm Sash.

"You give me the belt with an arm attached to it." Kat said, frustrated.

"I decided to give you a hand." Adam told her, and was slapped in the back of the head by Alex in response.

Kat shrugged and wrapped the sash around her waist. The sash took her katana and held it, and she pulled the needles from her hair, holding three in her right hand and two in her left. She gritted her teeth and waited for the elephant to charge again. When it did she was ready, it swung at her with its trunk, the sash countered with her sword. She jumped up onto the elephant's back. She began slamming her fists into its back, the needles adding to the impact. Unfortunately for Kat, the elephant's skin rendered her blows useless. She screamed with fury and put the needles in her right hand back into her hair. She took the katana from the slash. It glowed blue.

"Frigid Slash… ICE!" She called out, slamming the blue glowing blade into the elephant's back. It screamed out in pain. She hit the elephant in the same spot and it cried out again.

"Now I…GOT YOU!" Kat flung the sword into the air, pulled the three needles into her right hand and raised both arms back.

"Glacier… NEEDLES!" She screamed as she swung both arms forward, the needles piercing into the elephant. The markings began to glow a blood red colour. Kat grinned as the sash caught her katana and she flipped off the elephant and retreated back the the group.

"Not the Heylin Elephant!" Wuya called out as the elephant exploded in a flash of red and orange. She snapped her fingers and disappeared in a flash of green.

Master Fung was the first to speak.

"Very good, young dragon of Ice. Now all that is left is for you to complete the obstacle course. Are you ready now?"

"I…," Kat began, "Just fought a giant evil elephant. A bunch of flaming, waterlogged dummies sounds like a vacation. Let's get it over with." The group went back over to the training ground. Strangely enough, the fire was still going and nothing that was on fire seemed to be damaged, Shrugging it off, Kat crackled her knuckles, took off the Third Arm Sash, placed the needles in her hair and sheathed her katana. She stepped up to the training course and waited for another explosion. When nothing happened, she knew to start.

Like any ice wielding ninja, she started by freezing the water. This proved useless, as the fire emanated enough heat to melt the ice. Kat scoffed and tried again to no avail. Kat stood and glared at the fire, hoping that it would be extinguished by her frigid stare. When that didn't work, she tried to think of a plan. An idea hit her like a ton of bricks. She flung her left hand forward, freezing the water. Almost simultaneously, she flung her right arm up and lifted the ice out of the pool. She quickly dropped the ice on the fire. The action was followed by sizzling and crackling, but slowly the ice began to melt.

"Kat, it isn't going to work. That water won't stay frozen." Ana tried to reason with her sister.

"Don't worry, this time I WANT it to melt." Kat called back reassuringly. Kat smiled, her plan working perfectly. The ice continued to melt back into water. This time, instead of melting directly into the pool, it melted onto the fire. She spread her fingers apart and the ice split. The smaller pieces melted easier, and soon the fire was extinguished.

"Very good. You did exceptionally well Kat." Master Fung commended her.

"But Master, I thought you said she had to freeze the fire." Omi tried to ruin the mood.

"I think I get it," Kim said, silencing the boy, "Everyone knows you CAN'T freeze fire, it's physically impossible. Kat knew that not only could she not freeze fire, but eventually even her ice would melt. She used that to her advantage." Omi looked at Kim unhappily.

"To sum it up for those of you not on the same page as most of us, Basically I used the fire's heat to put it out. Its strength was its own weakness." Kat said impatiently.


Chase looked at Wuya, a victorious smirk on his face.

"Let me guess, your elephant plan didn't work, did it?" Chase said to her. She turned and glared daggers at him. He laughed.

"I take that as a 'no'?" Chase said chuckling. Wuya flipped him off and stormed out.

"Geez, someone has a temper." Chase said, still laughing,


So there you go. Kat was picked completely randomly. She also got to use her elemental attack.

Don't forget to review.
