Chapter 2

The monks returned after retriveing the wu and were greeted by Master Fung as they landed at the front steps of the temple.

"Welcome back young monks. I take it that you were successful in retrieving the shen gong wu." Omi smiled and ran to tell Master Fung of the mission.

"Well I don't know about the rest o you, but I'm gonna hit the hay."

"I'll put the orb in the vault Kim. You should get some rest for tomorrow."

"Okay. Night Rai."

The next day, the monks trained as usual except for Raimundo who had to stay to train with Master Fung as the others finished their training. Omi began to whine and begged Master Fung if he can stay and watch, to whom Master Fung told Omi that he can't and that he must watch over the vault.

"Today you will be working on how to better control your element by using the wind to lift up this boulder and carrying it to the other side of the canyon."

"Piece of ca.."

"While Dojo and I fire these at you." Master Fung said pointing to a large pile of arrows.

"Yeah, so you better watch out kid. I'm an expert shot." Dojo said grinning like a madman.

"Sure, I'll believe it when I see it."

The test began and Raimundo was doing well dodging the arrows Master Fung shot. But he ran into a bit of trouble when an arrow almost hit him causing Raimundo to lose his control and almost dropping the rock. Raimundo turned to see that Dojo was the one who almost hit him.

"Hey Dojo watch it! You almost hit me!"

"Sorry!" Dojo said still smiling.

The training was over and Raimundo was exhausted. Later that day the monks were in the courtyard playing. Clay was teaching Omi how to lasso, Kimiko was on her PDA and Raimundo was practicing soccer. Raimundo was doing well until his focus was thrown off when he sensed something strange. He looked to the others who have already figured out that they were being watched.

"Reveal yourself!" Omi shouted hoping that the unknown force would show themselves. Omi began walking toward the source of the power they sensed, but Clay stopped him as if he knew that something bad was going to happen. Suddenly they were hit by lightning and were sent flying across the temple. Two figures whizzed past Raimundo and Kimiko and headed straight towards Clay and Omi. Then two more cloaked figures emerged from the shadows.

"Who are you?" Kimiko asked. The Figures removed their cloaks. They were a boy and girl their age. The boy seemed Thai and about Raimundo's height and had black spiked hair. Raimundo could tell that the guy was always calm. The girl was Chinese and slightly taller than Kimiko and had a blond ponytail.

"We are none of your concern." The boy said."We are only here for the girl." Kimiko started to walk towards the mysterious people, but was held back by Raimundo.

"What do you want with her." Raimundo said angrily. In an instant the boy was in front of Raimundo and struck him in the chest sending him hurling into the wall.

Omi and Clay rose to the sight of the other side of the temple.

"Uhhh. I feel like my Uncle Bob when he got hit by a bull after slapping in the behind." Clay said wearily. "Omi where are ya?" Clay felt something squishy under him.

"Clay, my friend please remove yourself from being on top of my head."

"Oh, sorry little pard'ner." After they dusted themselves off they turned and were face to face with two cloaked figures. "Who are.."

Clay couldn't finish his question when he was struck by a sonic wave shot by one of the figures. Omi was angered that someone would hurt one of his friends and decided to attack.

"Wudai Neptune Water!" Omi began to strike furiously at the enemy in front of him. The figure blocked all of the punches and kicks, but Omi was too strong and was being pushed back. Omi jumped back and saw that his attack was a success. The figures removed their cloaks revealing two Chinese teenage boys. The one that attacked Clay turned out to be blind and the other was normal. The blind one was about to attack Omi until...

"Wudai Crater Earth!" Clay stomped the ground sending a chunk of the earth at him hoping that the attack will hit its mark, but was suprised to see the blind teenager jump out of the way.

"Okay lets all stop fighting so we can introduce ourselves!" the other enemy shouted. The fighting stopped abruptly. "There. My name is Lee."

"I am Xing." the blind one said.

"I'm ..."

"We know who you guys are. Our master's been watching you." Lee said.

"Who are you?" Omi asked as he got up.

"Just some people. That's all you need to know for now. Xing, lets get them." Xing and Lee lunged forward. Lee went for Omi and Xing attacked Clay.
