Chapter 2
I don't own a Series of Unfortunate events or Xiaolin Showdown. I do own Katey, Tyler and Mathilda.
Here are the descriptions I promised: Tyler is a Heylin who was once a Xiaolin dragon of lightning. He was born a thousand years ago and was one of the six Xiaolin dragons that trained under Tornami, one of the first Xiaolin dragons with elements along with Hanabi, Tebigong, Tinabi, Jisaku and Denshi. Mathilda is another Heylin who was once a dragon of wind. She also trained under Tornami. She was one of the best warriors of the six; however, Tornami was a bit of a sexist. He rarely acknowledged her skills, and when it was time to choose a leader, Tornami chose Tyler even though Mathilda was a better leader. This led them both to doubt about Tornami's greatness. Tyler, who had a crush on Mathilda, asked Tornami why he was chosen instead of Mathilda. Tornamis answered, "Girls may not be as weak as I thought when I was a dragon in training, but one thing I do know is that girls do not make good leaders." Mathilda overheard the conversation. Later, she was visited by Chase Young, who convinced her that Tornami was the evil one. Tyler was also furious with Tornami, and so Chase managed to turn him as well. I haven't decided what happened next, but the two drank the lao-mang-lon soup and killed Tornami, somehow their teammates died, and they remain Heylin to this day. And Tyler managed to turn Kimiko to the Haylin side for a short time.
Katey is the Xiaolin dragon of ice, a Wudai warrior like the others. She is from both Madagascar and Australia, one parent from each. She is the strongest of the warriors; even Omi can't beat her (which has shrunken his ego a bit.). She is a lot like Raimundo. Her Wudai weapon is a pair of broadswords. I can't think of a name. I can't think of her elemental Shen-gong-wu either.
Now on with the story.
At Chase Young's lair:
"I say we continue with our original plan and wait until one side of the schism destroys the other," said Tyler. Tyler, Mathilda, Chase, Bean and Wuya were trying to decide what to do with V.F.D.
"I don't think either side is going to win any time soon, so we might as well deal with them now. We are very close to conquering the world. I don't see the point in postponing victory just to wait for them to destroy each other," said Mathilda.
"As always, Mathilda has a very good point," said Chase.
"Besides, the V.F.D. is weak. They rely on animals to do their fighting. It won't take much energy to destroy them," said Wuya.
"That's the only good idea you've had in a long time," Said Chase.
"What's that supposed to mean," asked Wuya.
"Well, let's see. You didn't understand why I wanted Omi on the Haylin side; you tried to betray me and failed on multiple occasions; and you believed that Chucky Choo, a common street vender, was selling real Shen-gong-wu."
"Stop it, you two," said Tyler.
"So it's settled then. We destroy V.F.D. once and for all," said Bean.
At the Xiaolin temple:
"Master Fung, where are Kimiko and her friends? We haven't seen anyone since we got here," asked Violet. The Baudelaires had finished unpacking.
"Kimiko and the others are doing their chores," answered Master Fung.
"Actually, we just finished," said Kimiko. The Baudelaires jumped in surprise. They noticed Master Fung didn't. "Hi, I'm Kimiko. You must be my relatives, the Baudelaires," said Kimiko.
"Nice to meet you, Kimiko. I'm Violet, and this is Klaus, and that's Sunny," said Violet.
"Nice to meet you," said Kimiko to Klaus and Sunny. "Let me show you around," said Kimiko.
"Okay," agreed the Baudelaires.
"This is where I and my friends sleep," said Kimiko. The Baudelaires were surprised to see that Kimiko and her friends had nothing but stalls for rooms and mats for beds.
"This is all you get? Our rooms were much larger than these," said Violet.
"And we actually have beds," said Klaus.
"Don't feel bad. We're monks. We're not supposed to be softened by too many luxuries or something like that. But it's fine. They're actually pretty cozy," said Kimiko.
"Hey, Ninja Fred, let's go beat up the evil panda ninjas," said Raimundo, who was just walking into the room with his teddy bear, Ninja Fred, when he noticed the others. "Oh, hey guys, he he he," he said nervously, hiding Ninja Fred behind his back.
"Hey Rai, having fun playing with your little teddy bear?" Kimiko said teasingly.
"I told you, he's a ninja bear," Raimundo said, putting Ninja Fred away.
"Raimundo, this is Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire," said Kimiko.
"Nice to meet you," said the Baudelaires.
"Oh right, you're relatives. Hi. Hey, any of you play soccer?" Raimundo asked.
"Sorry, no," said Klaus.
"I'll play you later, Rai. Right now I'm giving the Baudelaires a tour," said Kimiko.
"Okay. See ya' later," said Raimundo, waving goodbye.
"This is the garden and the training grounds," said Kimiko.
"The garden is very beautiful," said Klaus.
"Training grounds look intense," said Sunny.
"They're not that bad," said Kimiko. The Baudelaires wondered how she knew this. Then they noticed a guy in a ten-gallon hat practicing with a lasso, a girl in a backwards baseball hat and a black boy playing basketball. "Hey guys, the Baudelaires are here," said Kimiko.
"Hello, I'm Violet; this is Klaus; and that's Sunny," said Violet.
"Howdy, Baudelaires, name's Clay," said Clay.
"I'm Katey," said Katey.
"And I'm Jermaine," said Jermaine.
"Wanna join our basketball game?" asked Katey.
"No thanks. We don't really play sports," said Violet.
"Okay. Your loss," said Katey.
Kimiko jabbed her in the side. "Well, let's move on. The tour's almost done.
"This is the library." As Master Fung had said, the temple's library was quite extensive. Klaus noticed that there were more scrolls than books. There was a short, bald boy reading one of the scrolls.
"Hey Omi, the-."
"Greetings, Baudelaires. I am Omi, Xiaolin dragon of water and soon to be Xiaolin leader," said Omi.
"Don't listen to him," said Kimiko.
"Hello, Omi. I'm Violet; this is Klaus; and that's Sunny," said Violet.
"If there are any martial arts moves you would like to learn, I can teach you better than anyone else here, except Master Fung, of course," said Omi. The Baudelairs looked at him doubtfully.
"Well, see ya' later Omi. I still have to show them where the dining room is."
"Omi's got quite an imagination," said Violet as they walked away.
"Finally, here's the dining room," said Kimiko. The Baudelaires saw that the table was large and quite fancy. Sunny could see that the kitchen was also quite fancy.
"This temple is a very nice place,"said Klaus.
"You're lucky. The rest of us have to do chores," said Kimiko.
"We can help you with them. I'm sure I can invent something to help," said Violet.
"Thanks, but it's part of our training," said Kimiko.
"Hey, Kimiko, the cake's almost ready. It would have been ready earlier, but I had to go get some more icing, because I kinda got into it yesterday," said Dojo, slithering into the room.
"Did that snake just talk?" asked Violet, wishing Uncle Monty was there to see it.
"Snake???" Dojo said angrily, growing to his full size. "Don't ever call me a snake! I am a dragon!" The Baudelaires stared in both amazement and terror. Dojo shrank to his normal size. "Come on, don't be afraid. I'm all bark and no bite. My name's Dojo, by the way," Dojo said, holding out his hand. The Baudelaires nervously shook the dragon's hand.
"Don't be afraid, guys. He's my friend," said Kimiko.
"Sorry, but we thought dragons only existed in fairy tales," said Violet.
"The world has many secrets. You should know that by now," said Master Fung. The Baudelaires jumped. They noticed Kimiko didn't. The Baudelaires turned around. Master Fung, Omi, Jermaine, Raimundo, Clay and Katey were all at the table. Dojo placed a very delicious looking cake that had the words "Welcome Baudelalres" in candy letters.
"Sorry about that. There weren't any I's left," said Dojo.
"You didn't have to bake us a cake," said Klaus.
"We wanted to," said Raimundo.
"Yea, after all that trouble you three have been through, we figured you deserved it," said Katey.
"Yes, and I know how you feel, Baudelaires. I too am an orphan, but unlike you, I never knew my parents," said Omi. The Baudelaires smiled and sat down. For the first time in a long time the Baudelaires felt as though nothing could spoil their happiness, and I am pleased to say that this time, nothing did.
The next chapters will have much more action. Please review and no flames please.
