Chapter 2: Rhododendron : Beware
~At the Xiaolin temple~
It was a regular day for the xiaolin monks; waking up, have breakfast, train until the day was over, eat dinner and go to sleep. Sometimes the occasional Shen Gong Wu pops up every now and then. And today was no different.
Dojo hastily smothered towards the monk s scroll in his claws. "Guys, guys! We got a Shen Gong Wu alert! The Thorn of Thunderbolt just activated itself."
"Urgh, finally! I was beginning that we'd never get any action. It's been a while since we went out. I'm starting to have cabin fever." Said the lone girl of their group as she stretched her joints and muscles.
"I second what Kimiko said." Said the bigger member of their group as Clay tipped his hat back.
"Then let us pull out the lead!" The smallest of their group stated and hopped on Dojo as he grew in size.
"It's 'get the lead out', Omi." The last of their group and leader sighed.
"That too!"
Once they changed into their civilian wear, minus Omi, they flew off to where the Wu's destination.
~At the Land of Nowhere~
"Gah, a Shen Gong Wu appeared!" A woman in dark auburn robes and dark red hair and acid green eyes screeched as her form shook from sensing the item.
Her sudden scream irritated her comrade. He was a handsome man in his early twenties, which he was stuck that way for the rest of his immortal life the same as the woman. Dark waist long hair with tints of dark green matched his dark green armor-bordering black with gold and red accents. His yellow reptilian eyes glared annoyingly at his...'guest'.
"Please refrain from screaming Wuya."
"But Chase, we must get the Shen Gong Wu before those monks or Jack get to it first." Wuya insisted. She had so little Wu as of late and she must have more to destroy who oppose her.
Chase on the other hand had no desire for the Shen Gong Wu, the others can have them for all he cares. He had no use for them. But to stop the Heylin witch from pestering him he begrudgingly accompanies her to where the item was located. Knowing well that she and Jack will loose to the monks. Or get lucky with winning the Wu in a Showdown. But that was highly unlikely.
~At Tai Mo Shan~
Leaving her companion at the open area where they landed Chi began her search for the herbs she needed and then some. She had walked several miles from where Feng was and was happily foraging whilst humming a tune. Her hood provided her with enough cover from the mountain's whether. Monsoon season was coming and better be prepared for it.
As she continued on, picking up a few yarrow flowers and ginseng she noticed something shinning from the corner of her eye. Curious she inspected it.
The glint was coming off from a bush of nettles. Good thing she was wearing her work gloves as she reached her hand in. As she felt the object, she grasped it and yanked the thing it out.
The item was...strange to say the least. The fact that it looked like a Sai made her think it was a weapon of some sorts but the way it was designed was not very practical or useful.
Feeling dubious about whether to leave it or keep it she chose the latter. Perhaps it would be worth something the next time she will go to the city.
Placing the item inside her bag Chi continued on with her task.
~With the monks~
"Where are we ,Dojo? ", Raimundo asked once they landed in an open and clear space between the tree lines.
Once the dragon shrunk back into his small size he replied, "We're in Centre New Territories in Hong Kong. Tai No Sham Country Park to be exact."
"Look at this place. It's going to take us some time to find the Wu. At least we have the area covered since it's in this area." Kimiko stated as she began to look into the bushes near her.
"Hoowe! This is a lot harder than searchin' a needle in a haystack." Clay remarked after he climbed up the tallest three in the area and looked over the entire perimeter they were in.
"This is most concerning." Said Omi as they began to follow Dojo, who was on Raimundo's head.
"You got anything, Dojo?", asked Rain as said dragon was sniffing the air. Not surprising there. It was better than the reptilian scratching himself all over the place.
"Hmm... No not yet, but it's somewhere in this direction."
The xiaolin monks followed the dragons direction in sensing the Wu and were prepared in case they run into Jack , Wuya and Chase Young. But after walking for a while they were wondering if the When Gong Wu was near their area at all.
"Dojo, is the Wu really here?"Raimundo asked, he was having doubts.
"Oh, the Wu is here alright. But that's the thing. I'm having the feeling like it's...moving.", Dojo answered and the monks straightened.
"How can the Shen Gong Wu move? Unless..." Omi trailed off the rest were going to the same conclusion as well.
"Ya mighta think that ol' Jack has the Wu?" Clay said as he tipped his hat back.
"No way. Uh-uh. There is no way Jack found the Wu first." Kimiko answered with a frown. This was Jack Spiced they were talking about!
"Who knows, maybe the nerd got lucky. C'mon guys!" At Raimundo's signal the gang jumped up to the tree lines and jumped from tree to tree towards the Shen Gong Wu per Dojo's instructions.
It didn't take long for Dojo to get a reaction. "Here! It's right here!"
"Quick you guys! Before anyone can find the Wu. Spread out and search!" Raimundo relayed his orders and the rest followed in kind.
~To where Chi is~
The young woman was happily humming a tune as she picked as much as the young leaves from the Ladies' finger bush.
Hello little sunshine
How do you do?
There's a great promise
Waiting for you
As you lay your tiny head,
Dream of the world,
They're gonna love you,
Their hope will return
Little sunshine, little sunshine
Let your radiance show
Little sunshine , little sunshine
Let your kind heart glow
Though the shadows may close in,
You will stay strong,
Your little spark of love,
Will cast out the dark
Know that you're not alone
Your moon's by your side
Together you'll cleanse the world,
You'll always be my pride
Little sunshine, little sunshine
Let your radiance show
Little sunshine , little sunshine
Let your kind heart glow
I may not always be here
To guide your way
But I know that you'll be fine
Helping those along the way
Dance along the clouds, my dear
Bring in the light
Be good for me , my dear,
As my soul alights
Little sunshine, little sunshine
Let your radiance show
Little sunshine , little sunshine
Let your kind heart glow...
After she was done with her act that was when she realized that she had sang along the way from her humming.
She chocked before sighing. "I miss you, mom."
Shaking her head Chi continued on what she was doing before voices reached her ears. Confused and afraid she quietly crept back to where she left her bag. That was completely stupid on her part! Now those goons found her for sure!
Peeking from behind the tree she spotted five teenagers, a young man and woman playing tag of war with her bag. Fortunately she did not recognize them and highly doubted that her father hired them. Unfortunately her bag was going to be ripped apart if they don't stop what they were doing!
"Hey!" Chi shouted and gained their immediate attention. "Quit pulling my bag! If you're going to play tug of war use a rope!"
"Who are you?!" The red haired teen asked rudely. Chi scowled at him.
"One; you don't have to scream. And two; my name is not your concern. Why would I tell my name to a group of strangers?" She snipped before grabbing her bag from their lax hands then turned to leave quickly. They may not be the mercenaries that her old man hired but she did not know them. No need to involve those strangers on her dilemma.
"Hey, wait a sec!" The same voice from the red head called but she did not stop. After a few more steps was when she heard it. Mechanical buzzing sounds.
Chi stopped then blinked several times as robots-flying robots-suddenly appeared from the tree's and bushes with...circular saws?!
She screamed and ducked before any of the blades would-no will cut her into little pieces. Turn in around she saw that it was the red who was responsible for them.
"Jackbots, get her bag! The Wu's inside!"
Chi ran for it when the robots chased her. That kid was crazy! She faintly heard screams to cease but she couldn't care less.
She screamed again as a saw slammed right next to her. She flinched when she felt pain on her left shoulder. She saw that it wasn't too serious but it was badly bleeding.
She needed to get out of here.
"Feng! Fe-!" Her screams for Feng we're cut when she felt being air borne and arms grasping her waist. She landed on top of a boulder that can be found in the forest. She turned her head and saw the red headed woman.
"T-Thank you." Chi stuttered her thanks. The woman giggled.
"No need. But do you mind handing over the bag?"
Chi held her bag close. "Um...N-No."
The woman sighed. "I thought as much.", was all the woman stated before she began to forcefully grab her bag.
Chi yelled before tugging herself. Man, was the woman strong despite her looks.
"Star Hanabi Fire!" A younger female voice proclaimed before something hit the woman. It was fast and it was hot. But the impact made Chi stumble back and fell off the boulder.
She screamed but the wind was knocked out of her faster than she thought when she reached the ground. But looking up it explained that she was not on the ground but in the arms of a Texan teen.
"You alright there little lady?"
Chi's breath came out erratic. "Yeah. I'm-I'm fine."
The buzzing noise reached her ears again as the teen cowboy set her down on her feet.
"Excuse me little lady." He excused himself before leaping to met the robots that we're headed their way. Chi watched in utter disbelief as he took care of those robots like it was nothing!
"This is insane." She whispered.
"Nope."
A new voice made her yelp. A teenager with light brown skin, brown hair and green eyes stood next to her. Ready to jump himself because of his stance.
"This is an everyday thing." True to her prediction he did jump up, fighting more of those metal menaces.
"Everyday." Chance s wheezed out as she tried to gather her bearings. Which was not easy considering she has seen enough to even put her in the loony bin.
"Hey, you okay?" Weakly lifting her head she saw a girl with black pixie cut hair with pink bangs, milky skin and blue Jay colored eyes. Her outfit was more eye catching. If she remembers right in was a fusion styled outfit of K-pop and J-pop.
"I don't know anymore." Chi groaned as she rubbed her eyes.
"Yes, girls are most confused when they do not know what to make of any situation."
"Omi!"
The smallest male turned to his friend. "Did I say something wrong?"
Kimiko groaned before she suddenly grabbed Chi's arm and the two of them jumped back-carrying Chi in tow-as a green fireball landed to where they we're a second ago.
"Holy-!"
"Out of the way. My business is with that girl and her bag!" Wuya stated, summoning green flames from her hands.
"Forget it, Wuya!" Kimono retaliated before engaging the woman in a fight. Meanwhile Omi ushered Chi to safe place.
"Don't have to tell me twice!"
They ran with Omi leading. But a wall of those robots and the red headed teen was in their way.
"No where to run, cheese head!" Jack laughed but was was interrupted when Omi declared;
"Orb of Tornami!"
Chi watched as a large blue orb from Omi's hands shot out tons of water hurdling towards Jack and his robots. But soon more replaced the downed machines.
"Go! I will stay and distract them!"
Chi nodded and ran towards the thicker trees. This was her chance!
"Feng! Feng!", she called. Dodging tree's and rocks as she did.
She was about to call again when she was suddenly grabbed by her shoulders and was quickly lifted up in the air. Her scream mixed with Jack's laugh.
"See ya, Xiaolin losers! The Wu is mine!"
Chi struggled to get free but the robot has good grip on her. Without thinker by she slammed her bag on the robot not stopping until it let go of her.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop hitting my Jack-bot." Jack stated as he gave her a glare. Chi glared back from under her hood.
"Not until you let go of me!" She grunted with each movement.
Jack shrugged, "Meh, that's fine with me. All I want is your bag."
"What do you people want my bag? I have nothing of value to get into a fight!" Chi practically screamed in frustration.
"Nothing of value, she says. Look sweetheart, a Shen Gong Wu is in your bag. How can you not know?" Jack surmised with a smirk.
"Shen Gong Wu? What are you talking about?"
Now Jack looked at her like she had two heads. "Shen Gong Wu? You know. Items that can grant you powers or abilities when you call out their name? The same Shen Gong Wu that that cheese head Omi used on us?"
He explained which made Chi more confused. Items that can grant you things if you call out there name? That was ridiculous! She had no such-
Then she remembered. The Sai that she picked up.
"You mean... The Sai that I picked up-that was the Shen Gong Wu you're talking about?" She asked. Jack nodded.
"Yeah. It must be the Thorn of Thunderbolt."
Before Chi could ask any more the robot that was holding got blasted and this dropped her. She screamed holding her bag close, her hood had flown off from the updraft of her fast downfall.
This was it. She was going to die.
