Chain Gangs and Vipers: An Infinite Adventure and a Conquest of Love

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 – Chapter 1 – Every Day that Passes is Another Stepping Stone
John was extremely happy that he had just finished his first training session with Triple H and Master Shawn. He sat down on one of the steps to a temple and wiped his forehead.
"Thirsty?"
John looked behind him and smiled. "Thanks, Ev."
Evan Bourne took a seat behind him. "No problem."
"So, when do you think the first 'Shen-Gong-Wu' will reveal itself?" John asked curiously. He was hoping that it didn't take forever because he was itching to beat the SmackDown students to it.
"I don't know, but I've got a gut instinct that it'll be soon," Evan said.
"I see," John began, but he was interrupted by two small lizard-like dragons slithering by.
Evan gasped in awe. "Is that-"
The older, greener dragon stopped and grinned widely. "You'd best believe it; I am the one and only, the one who lead the four Xiaolin Warriors to all the Shen-Gong-Wu, I am Dojo Kanojo Cho!"
John looked as if this was nothing to him. "Oh, it's you, the legendary dragon…"
Dojo was set to respond when he was nearly squashed by a speeding Mike.
Evan gasped in horror. "Michael! How dare you not look where you're going? Do you not know who this is?"
"Is he AWESOME?" Mike asked egotistically, "Because if he isn't, I don't care-"
"This is Dojo Kanojo Cho, Mike," John said.
Mike's eyes opened wide in shock, realizing who the small dragon was and what he had done. "Dojo Kanojo Cho…the lizard dude that helped the Xiaolin warriors-"
"LIZARD?" Dojo piped up before transforming into his true form and glaring at Mike menacingly.
"Did I say lizard?" Mike's voice was dripping with fear. "I-I meant dragon…"
"That's what I thought," Dojo snickered as he returned to his miniature size.
"For what reason are we being honored with your presence, oh legenedary dragon?" Evan asked; his respect for the creature radiantly obvious.
"I'd like to introduce my son, Kodokon. He'll be living up to my high standard of assisting you in your journeys."
"Dad, high standard?" the young and slightly more lime dragon asked.
Dojo laughed. "Kodokon, are you ready to kick some evil-doer butt?"
"Dad, you're embarrassing me," Kodokon replied.
"Oh shoot, I have to get going. I'll check up on you soon," Dojo announced. John, Evan, and Kodokon watched as the older dragon transformed and flew away in an instant.
By the looks of it, Evan was about to crap his pants in excitement. John chuckled to himself at his newfound friend's eagerness. "I can't believe that's your father! I've studied him for quite a while, and to meet him and you in person is an honor, Mister Kodokon Cho Sir."
"Dude, will you chill," Kodokon replied, looking a bit freaked out. "Just call me Kodokon…and please…calm down."
Evan's face crashed as he realized how he was freaking the young dragon out. "My apologies," he said, sitting down next to John again.
"So, can you like, detect Shen-Gong-Wu and stuff like your dad?" John asked.
"Yes, and…" Kodokon was stopped when he felt a particular tingling in his body that he was well-prepared for. "My friends, it seems that the first Shen-Gong-Wu is set to reveal itself!"
The remaining nine students rushed over to where Kodokon, John, Evan, and Mike (followed by Hunter and Shawn) were and looked in awe, prepared to discover what the Shen-Gong-Wu was.
"Wait, hold on, I have this downloaded on my iPhone," Shawn said, pulling out his phone.
"What?" Hunter asked.
"I downloaded an app that recognizes and informs you on Shen-Gong-Wu."
"That's what the temple scrolls are for, Shawn."
"Newsflash, Hunter, no one uses that crap anymore. Get in the game," Shawn responded before scanning Kodokon with his phone and waiting for results.
Shen-Gong-Wu: Changing Chopsticks
Description: Pair of wooden chopsticks
Use: Shrinks user or another object to the size of a grain of rice and to returns the shrunken object to its original size
"Ah, the Changing Chopsticks, I have studied these-" Evan began before being interrupted.
"No time for your literary study junk, we have to beat those SmackDown losers to the Wu!" Mike shouted.
"Agreed, but just out of curiosity, how will we be getting there?" John asked.
"Oh, leave that to me," Kodokon assured. He swiftly multiplied in size and welcomed the warriors-in-training to hop on his back.
"Wait!" Hunter exclaimed as all the students started walking towards Kodokon. "Only four of you need to go. John, Evan, Phil, Eve, you're up."
The remaining students groaned in disappointment as the authorized four hopped on the back of the dragon and took off.
"The rest of you shall join Hunter and me for some more training," Shawn announced. More groans were broadcasted.
When the students were out of hearing distance, Hunter and Shawn chatted quietly behind them.
"I can't believe you chose a piece of overrated hardware over more classic ancient scrolls," Hunter sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Shawn replied with a chuckle. He only hoped that his students were ready for the challenge ahead of them.
"Come on, now, those chopsticks aren't going to capture themselves," Kodokon's brother Dokokon said.
"Don't get your underwear in a twist," young Randy Orton replied. Underneath his cold exterior, he was overly excited to be the first group of students from his newfound home at the SmackDown temple to search for a Shen-Gong-Wu.
"I don't think dragons wear underwear, Rand," his 'dashing' friend Cody Rhodes responded.
"Then what do they use to conceal their-" Ted was interrupted by Dokokon.
"The Changing Chopsticks will not find themselves; get your butts on here and lets goooooooo!" Dokokon exclaimed before pulling the four students off into the sky.
"Do you see it anywhere?" John asked; annoyed at how the chopsticks were hidden outside a Chinese restaurant. It was a clever hiding place, but for him it was straight up annoying.
"Excuse me, ma'am," Evan said as he glanced at the chopsticks everyone was eating with.
"Uh-oh," Phil Brooks, better known as CM Punk, announced. "Looks like we have unwanted company."
John, Evan, and Eve looked to see what Phil was talking about; sure enough, four warriors, obviously from the SmackDown temple, fell from the sky and landed right across from the RAW students.
"Well, if it isn't the RAW students," the tall and handsome Randy spoke.
John was speechless; this guy was a true work of art.
"Hey, there they are!" Cody announced. Everyone looked up to the top of the building of the restaurant. Sure enough, there they were: the Changing Chopsticks.
"I've got them!" the handsome SmackDown student yelled before sprinting up the stairway on the side of the building.
"No you don't!" John shouted, following the handsome man up the staircase.
The two men reached the top of the structure and their eyes were locked on the prize.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Randy. Randy Orton," the handsome man introduced, randomly at that. John made a mental note not to forget that name as this guy was smoking hot.
"Likewise. I'm John. John Cena," John replied. Randy was gone; he was already halfway to the Wu. "Oh no you don't," John said before baseball sliding rapidly until he slipped between Randy's legs and grabbed the Shen-Gong-Wu.
Randy looked in amazement. This guy was, in a way, the enemy, but he couldn't help but feel somewhat attracted to him. However, he was not going to let this interfere with his objective.
"Randy, stop him!" Alicia shouted from down below.
"Condor's Conundrum!" Randy bellowed before he roundhouse kicked the chopsticks out of John's hands.
"Damn it!" John screeched. In an instant, he jumped off the top of the building in a vain attempt to catch them.
"Got 'em!" Evan said as he caught both chopsticks. "Kodokon! Let's go!"
Kodokon swooped down and picked up the students before making a hasty exit into the sky.
"There goes the first Shen-Gong-Wu," Ted DiBiase sighed in defeat.
"John Cena…" Randy whispered to himself. "I know for a fact this is not the last I will see of you. But next time, you and your adversaries will not succeed."
"Booyah!" Mike congratulated as he looked upon the newly acquired Wu. "I have to test these out sometime."
"You may not have time," Kodokon screeched as he began to tingle. "New Wu!"
Shawn showed up out of nowhere and scanned the dragon.
"Ah, here we go," Shawn said.
Shen-Gong-Wu: Shroud of Shadows
Description: Black cloak
Use: When worn, renders the user or anything under it invisible
"Mike, Alberto, Morrison, Melina, you all are up," Shawn instructed. The students and Kodokon were off in an instant.
The four students returned to the temple, heads hung in shame.
"What happened?" Phil asked.
"Mike screwed us out of the Shroud," Morrison muttered.
"Just because-" Mike began.
"No, Mike, if everyone knew how you screwed us in there…" Melina interrupted.
"Do not worry, my students," Hunter advised. "I have a feeling this is not it."
"I can honestly say that this is exhilarating; three Shen-Gong-Wu in one day revealing themselves?" Evan beamed.
John smiled. "And I think we've found number three. I've most definitely got this," John announced as he sprinted towards the rock holding the Golden Tiger Claws.
Shen-Gong-Wu: Golden Tiger Claws
Description: Golden glove like object
Use: When swiped in the air, creates a tear in time and space that allows the user to go wherever he or she wishes
"These are as good as mine!" John exclaimed when he put his hand on the Golden Tiger Claws. However, someone else had grabbed it at the same time. John was half happy-half pissed to see it was Randy.
"Dude, why are they lighting up?" Rey asked from the background.
"Oh my goodness, this is…" Evan baffled.
"A Xiaolin Showdown…" John said.
"Which I challenge you to, Cena; my Shroud of Shadows against your Changing Chopsticks," Randy stated.
"Name your game, Orton."
"How about a friendly game of tag? First one to get tagged loses."
"Whatever. I accept. Let's go…XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"
Everyone stumbled as the environment drastically changed to accommodate the challenge chosen.
"Bring it, Orton," John said.
"I believe the correct way to start this is GONG YI TANPAI!" Orton shouted before pulling out the Shroud of Shadows.
"Shroud of Shadows!" Randy called before turning completely invisible.
John panicked slightly. "Damn it, where did he go?"
"Right here!" Randy shouted from above, attempting a kick from the sky.
"Changing Chopsticks!" John shouted. He shrunk to the size of a grain of rice and laughed. "Try and find me now, Orton!"
"With pleasure," Randy beamed invisibly. He pulled his index finger back and plucked the tiny-sized John roughly.
"Shit!" John cursed as he realized he had just lost the first Showdown. The environment phased back to normal and John stood up to find the Changing Chopsticks, Shroud of Shadows, and Golden Tiger Claws all in Randy's possession.
"Wonderful," John said.
"Later, RAW losers," Cody and Ted mocked before hopping on Dokokon.
"Until next time, Cena," Orton smiled before doing the same.
John watched as the SmackDown students flew away into the sky. Despite losing, he definitely knew he wanted to see and fight Randy again.
End of Chapter 1.
There's your Viper! Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Please review and expect the next chapter soon.
