Me: *training my Pokemon in Pokemon Sapphire and sees Mightyena with red bandanna around his neck walk in* Hey Storm, what's up?
Storm: You are aware that it has been a week since you updated on Possessed, right?
Me: *checks* AHHHH! YOU'RE RIGHT! *opens Word Doccument and starts typing like a madman*
1 hour later…
HELLOOOOO PEOPLE! Welcome back to Possessed Chapter 2. Thank you to those who reviewed. I would try to update as fast as I can on this story. The maximum time that is need for an update is a week.
Storm: FireMightyena, in any way, does not own Xiaolin Showdown. If she did, Raimundo would have beaten up Omi in 'Pandatown'.
Chapter 2: Ambushed
'Mom and Dad were murdered by someone.'
That one sentence went round and round in Raimundo's head as the sentence replayed itself like a broken tape recorder in the stricken boy's mind.
'Mom and Dad were murdered by someone.'
'Mom and Dad were murdered by someone.'
'Mom and Dad were murdered by someone.'
Curling himself into a tight ball, Raimundo released all the emotions bottled up in his heart and let the tears stream down his cheeks. Raimundo cried, berating himself for not being there to protect his parents. He knew that as the second eldest, he was the strongest fighter amongst his eight siblings. Yet, when his family needed him most, he had let them down.
Raimundo punched in Iris' number. His finger hovered above the 'Make Call' button, before he took his finger away and flipped his handphone shut before tucking away in a corner of his bag. He was too guilt-stricken to call Iris. He couldn't bear to hear her voice. To hear her voice while she was crying.
No one heard the weeping boy and no one came to comfort him as Raimundo let the tears leak from his emerald eyes.
! #$%&! #$%&
Kimiko, Omi and Clay ate their dinner while chatting with one another, each one completely at ease.
Then, as soon as Raimundo entered the dining room, the chattering faded away into nothingness as everyone stared at him. Raimundo's already unruly hair was in a mess and his emerald eyes were red and puffy and his face was tear-streaked. Switching on the kitchen tap, Raimundo rinsed his hands thoroughly before washing his face.
The tension in the air was thick as the Dragons of Water, Fire and Earth stared as the Dragon of Wind slid into his seat and quietly ate his bowl of rice. Noticing that everyone was staring, Raimundo snapped his head up and scowled at his teammates.
"What?" Raimundo growled, obviously in a bad mood.
"Ohh, nothing my friend Raimundo." Omi remarked brightly, grinning. "Before you entered, we were talking about how bravely you fought Chase Young… and failed!" Omi finished with a wide grin on his face as Kimiko and Clay fell off their chairs.
"Your point…?" Raimundo inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"My point is that I am most suitable to be Shoku Warrior as I am the greatest Xiaolin monk of all and that you do not deserve the place of Shoku Warrior because of your most humiliating defeat." Omi replied cheerfully, totally oblivious to the fact that Clay and Kimiko had popped out from behind Raimundo's back and were shaking their heads and frantically waving their arms.
Already in a bad mood, Raimundo flared up as his blood boiled. Standing up fromhis seat, he stalked out of the dining room, leaving his unfinished bowl of rice on the table.
"… was it something I said?" Omi questioned, still oblivious as Kimiko cast death glares at him while Clay sighed, shaking his head. If looks could kill, Omi would have withered on the spot there and then. "… what?" Omi said, finally noticing the glare Kimiko was shooting at him.

The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. Darkness fell like a shroud as the giant orb of the moon lit up the night sky.
Raimundo kicked a pebble gloomily, watching as the pebble tumbled away out of his sight. Walking in the forest was one of Raimundo's favorite ways to calm down. The forest was his sanctuary.
Raimundo was dressed in a red hoodie with white stripes which ran down his sleeves, dark blue jeans which dragged across the ground and black and white running shoes. He also wore his medallion around his neck.
Raimundo walked deeper and deeper into the forest, listening to a lone wolf's howling which occasionally broke the silence of the night. The wolf's howl sounded melodious, its howl echoing throughout the forest. Raimundo could tell that the wolf was a young wolf. Its howl wasn't a wobbly, childish howl of a cub, but a heart-wrenching song of a young wolf.
Tucking his hands into his pockets, Raimundo carried on into the heart of the forest, the occasional sound of snapping twigs and crunching leaves reaching his ears.
Suddenly, a loud rustle was heard. Raimundo stopped dead in his tracks and scanned the bushes on either side of the dirt path. A bush shook, indicating that something or someone was hiding inside. Raimundo warily took a few steps forwards.
Those few steps changed his life forever. Out of the bushes leapt Chase, Jack, Wuya and an enlarged Hannibal Bean.
Before Raimundo could react, Hannibal Bean and Wuya grabbed his arms and pinned them behind his back. Raimundo struggled in vain but Wuya and Hannibal Bean held their vice-like grip on his arms.
"Looks like the Xiaolin Loser of the Wind is in a sticky situation." Jack laughed at his own crappy joke but stopped as he realized no one was laughing with him.
Chase stepped up to Raimundo to look him in the eye. Gritting his teeth, Raimundo kicked Jack in the shin, who made the mistake of going to close to the enraged Raimundo.
"OWWW! DON'T HURT ME! I BRUISE EASILY!" Jack screamed in pain girlishly as Raimundo, Chase and Hannibal Bean sniggered while Wuya sighed and massaged her forehead with her free hand.
Chase drew out the Shen Gang Wu he had won earlier, held it in front of him and pointed the Shen Gang Wu towards Raimundo. "Dragon of Darkness!"
The dragon's ruby eyes flashed momentarily. Slowly, a ripple seemed to pass through the statue. Slowly, it enlarged in size. The tallest oak tree in the forest, which was right behind the enlarging dragon, was no match for it. The dragon's crimson eyes snapped open and it uncoiled itself, roaring loudly. It scanned all the faces that stared at it and the dragon's gaze fell on Raimundo.
The dragon smirked. It turned shadowy and arched its back, before swooping down into Raimundo's body. Letting loose a scream of agony, Raimundo fell to his knees as he dug his fingernails into his scalp. His eyes flashed from emerald green to crimson red as he slowly grew in size as his body changed shape into a long, slender, black Chinese dragon with red eyes.
Chase smiled before ordering the rest of the Heylin villains to retreat as an ear-piercing roar shattered the serenity of the once peaceful forest.
