I do not own Xiaolin Showdown
A big thank you to all who reviewed. Your support gave me the guts to keep this story going. Originally I had planned something different but after reading the reviews I decided to go with one of your theories. Enjoy
Chapter 2
(THAT NIGHT)
"Okay so I'll attack the Temple to draw their attention while you go for the Wu." Jack outlined his plans to Katnappe as they flew in his hover craft.
"You got it, just be careful." She kissed him on the cheek before jumping out.
Jack felt his face go red as he registered the fact that she had kissed him.
(TEMPLE)
The alarms blared and the four Xiaolin warriors gathered at the main gates to see Jack and a squad of his usual Jack-Bots approaching.
"Let's draw straws, the one who gets the coloured one has to beat these guys, the rest of us can go back to bed." Raimundo sniggered.
"Now partner that there is not polite. We may be able to beat Jack easily but there is no reason to be impolite about it." Clay reprimanded him.
"Clay is right Raimundo, even though you are the leader you do not have the right to make Jack's emotions hurt." Omi added.
There was silence.
"I think Omi means you don't have the right to hurt Jack's feelings." Kimiko guessed.
"That is what I said" Omi nodded wisely.
"Let's do this" Raimundo led them forward.
(TEMPLE VAULT)
"Purrrfect" Katnappe lifted a large collection. Including her personal favourite. "Golden Tiger Claws!" she opened a portal and threw the Xeng Gong Wu through it. They landed in Jack's lair.
"I better check on Jack" she opened another portal and jumped through it.
(TEMPLE ENTRANCE)
Raimundo dismantled the last Jack-Bot and they turned to Jack who was shaking in his boots.
"Now it's your turn" Raimundo advanced on Jack.
Katnappe appeared in front of Jack, "You'll have to go through me first."
"The Tiger Claws" Omi pointed.
"You stole them" Kimiko screeched.
"I suggest we retreat" Jack recommended.
Katnappe grabbed him and pushed him through a portal before diving after him.
Raimundo viciously kicked a flower in anger.
(JACK'S LAIR)
"Great job Katnappe" Jack grinned as he examined the pile of stolen Wu. "The Eye of Dashi, Fist of Tebigong, Shrouds of Shadows and Silence, Third Arm Sash and more." He jumped about like a child on sugar.
Katnappe grabbed his shoulders to hold him still "Shouldn't you be getting to bed?"
"What are you my mom?" Jack raised an eyebrow, before yawning widely.
Katnappe pulled him up the stairs and into his room before tucking him into bed and giving him a goodnight kiss. "Sleep tight Jackie" she smiled as his face went red.
(TEMPLE)
"Well we lost a lot of Wu but we still have plenty" Clay reported as he emerged from the vault.
Omi was meditating upside down while Kimiko was yawning and Raimundo was sleeping on the ground.
"It appears that you underestimated Jack, I did warn you young monks." Master Fung appeared out of nowhere.
Raimundo jerked away and found himself looking up at a most displeased Master Fung. "I was just resting my eyes." He offered feebly.
"We shall not make the same mistake again Master Fung" Omi stood up. "Next time we meet Jack he will suffer a humiliating defeat."
"Perhaps the four of you may wish to get some rest." Master Fung glanced meaningfully at Kimiko and Rai who were leaning against each other, completely asleep.
(JACK'S HOME)
Jack woke as he heard a strange noise, it sounded like metal scraping against the floor. He got out of bed and quickly got dressed. As he left his room he noticed how dark it was, he felt his way through the halls until he reached the door leading into his lair. He found the door was ajar and there was a glow coming from inside. Jack peeked through the crack and saw Katnappe with her back to the door; past her he could see Jack-Bots building a strange machine. He was about to open the door when something grabbed his arm.
"Who's there?" he asked into the dark.
Another hand closed around his other arm and pulled him away from the lair. Jack opened his mouth to call out when another hand covered his mouth.
"What's wrong Jack?" a voice spoke out of the dark, "Isn't everything just purrrfect?"
A fourth hand grabbed his shoulder from behind. A light clicked on.
There were four Katnappes. None of them were wearing the Ring of Nine Dragons.
Jack let out his trademark high pitched scream as the Katnappes carried him into the lair.
"Don't worry, it's just me…ow" the four laughed as he flailed about.
"Jack-Bots!" Jack yelled and a dozen flew over to him. "Why are there four Katnappes? Get me a pudding cup. What are you building? Get me a bottle of water. Why are there four Katnappes? Get me down." He shouted hysterically.
The Katnappes lowered him to the ground and he jumped behind the dozen Jack-Bots. Another Jack-Bot flew over with a pudding cup and a bottle of water, which he devoured quickly and chugged it down.
"You see Jack" a Katnappe stepped forward, "The Jack-Bots and I are trying to help you conquer the world."
Jack looked at her suspiciously, "Why would you help me?"
"Because I'm programmed to" she grinned as his jaw dropped. "The four of us are robots."
Jack thought for a moment "Then where is the original Katnappe?" he asked.
A door opened and Katnappe emerged. She grinned at Jack.
Jack threw his hands into the air in frustration, "Five crazy cat ladies"
"Master" a Jack-Bot turned to him, "Katnappe arrived here and we captured her. We showed her the future through the Crystal Glasses and she pledged her loyalty to you."
"What are you building?" Jack asked Katnappe.
"We are rebuilding your time machine" she wrapped an arm around his shoulder, "Since the Sands of Time have been destroyed this is the only way to achieve the future."
"Which is what?" Jack frowned.
A Katnappe-Bot stepped forward and brought up a hologram from her palm projector. It was an image of a huge golden robot, the image changed to a neon sign that said 'Jack Spicer's prison' and then the monks in chains and their Temple destroyed.
Jack absentmindedly began to sit down. One of the Katnappe-Bots got down on all fours behind him before he fell over. He stared at the holograms, "That is the future" he whispered, "I actually win?"
"Yes master" the all the Jack and Katnappe Bots answered.
Jack stood up and the Katnappe-Bot straightened as well.
"How long till the machine is finished?" he asked
"It has just been finished" Katnappe grinned as the Jack-Bots working on the time machine moved away from the circular device, "Now we use the Eye of Dashi and visit your future."
Jack held up a hand, "Hang on," he paced for a minute, "The Crystal Glasses shows however uses it their future. Where were you in the future?"
Katnappe blushed and looked away before muttering, "We were dating."
Jack went bright red and coughed awkwardly. He took the Eye of Dashi and used it in the power generator. The circle filled with energy.
"Ready Jack?" Katnappe and the K-Bots (Katnappe-Bots) stood beside him in front of the gateway. "Ready to take over the world?"
Jack held out his hand to her. She held it and they smiled at each other as they stepped into the future.
