Temp Title: A Charmbox Is Still a Charmbox (Yes LAME I know….)
Summary: Takes place after 'Sick in the Head'. Elijah has stayed with them and Kash has gone. It starts out with a new mysterious wu that happens to hold something interesting inside. Then goes on from there. (okay that has got to be one of my most LAMEST summaries. SORRY)
Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown, but I do own Elijah, Kash, and the mystery guest XD.
Chapter 2
Kimiko thought quickly of something to do for a showdown, something new and original… nothing good came to her overheated brain. She thought quickly and glanced around at her surroundings, nothing more than sand as far as the eye could see. Pfft… like that was helpful. This was going nowhere; exactly where they were. Coming up with only one stupid idea she went for it.
"A labyrinth challenge. First one through wins the showdown and the wu. I wager the Star of Hanabi against your Jetbootsu," Kimiko said challenging Jack.
"Fine I accept your challenge," Jack smirked.
"GONG-YI-TEMPAI!" They both shouted and soon they're surroundings changed one of a huge labyrinth made rock and sand.
Kimiko and Jack both started in different places and both were racing around meeting obstacles along the way. Twice Kimiko ran into huge scarabs, having to fight or go around them. Jack kept running into crocodiles; he was glad he had his helipack, flying over them but not too high or he'd get zapped by the top of the labyrinth.
Kimiko took a left and then another. She was hurrying as fast as she could. By the cheering of her comrades she could tell she was getting close. Just then she saw something that made her skid to halt. She glanced back where she thought she'd seen it but whatever it was, was no longer there. Shaking her head she kept running. Two seconds later she emerged out the other end and with a flash the labyrinth was gone and she was holding the star of hanabi, the Jetbootsu, and the Charmbox of Daikuon.
Kimiko ran over to her friends and they cheered and congratulated her.
"So this is the box?" Omi asked staring at the small cherry wood box there was an inlaid rose on top of the box and a golden latch on it. Although it was obviously made long ago there wasn't a scratch on its beautiful surface.
For some odd reason it reminded Kimiko of the box that Elijah had been in. Now that she thought about a lot of the boxes they had found held people or spirits in it. Take the box Elijah had been in or the puzzle box that Wuya's spirit had resided in for so long.
"What if something's in this box?" Kimiko said voicing her thoughts, "you know like Elijah or Wuya."
"Ohh, then we should definitely take it to Master Fung," Omi said immediately.
"Yeah, I'm with the little guy I can think of a couple of things we don't want released," Dojo said immediately.
"But…" Kimiko sighed staring at the box in her hands. It felt so good like…
Raimundo swiped the box from her hands and shook it. No noise was made. He shook it a little more violently and a small indistinguishable noise was made.
"I wonder what IS in here," Raimundo said and thumbed over the latch. Just then there was a crack and the latch broke and the lid popped open. Raimundo dropped the box startled and it fell onto the ground upside down. A black mist swirled out of the box started to form. Raimundo back stepped to the rest of the group watching the black mist.
All of the sudden the black mist dissipated and standing in front of them was a male maybe nineteen years of age. He had dark blue eyes and blonde spiky hair. He was tall but not too tall, and he had a light tan. There was a light band of skin across the bridge of his nose, and several on his left arm.
"Who are you?!" Dojo demanded he wasn't sure of whom this new figure was. The dragon thought quickly of all the people he'd met in the past but drew a blank on this boy.
"I should ask you the same," the stranger said angrily and stared at the little dragon. He looked past Dojo at the Xiaolin warriors, "oh, you're the xiaolin warriors of this time right?"
Raimundo nodded deftly stilling eyeing the strange boy as if he was on fire.
"I still don't know about you," the blond said eyeing the dragon, "but if you're with them then I suppose you're good too."
"Are you here to fight us?" Kimiko spoke up quickly.
"No of course not," he frowned quickly, "my name is Isaiah. I'm… I was a warrior who was helping Dashi fight Wuya. But then she locked me in that box because I'd refused to join her."
End of Chapter 2
Please review. I really like that name Isaiah. I just thought about how much Isaiah and ELijah sound a like... oh well.
