Me: Well guys, I got some pretty good reviews for last chapter, and I feel like responding to some reviews! Guys, if you would be so kind as to read me some of the reviews so I can answer them, I'd really appreciate it.

Kimiko: Sure! PhantomDragon99 says, "My god, have you been watching Tai Chi Chasers before writing this chapter?! Also, you had a good idea. The Power Drainer Lamprey!"

Me: Well PhantomDragon99, my old friend, to answer your question I know nothing about this Tai Chi Chasers. But I do like the idea of using the Power Drainer Lamprey, but it might come in later on.

Omi: Someone who goes by the name of sheffelman says, "Pairing should be Danny/Kimiko. Original Shen-Gong-Wu idea: the Dagger of Light." Out of curiosity, what does he mean by 'pairing'?

Me: AH! We'll talk about it later! When you're older.

Omi: But...

Me: WHEN YOU'RE OLDER!

Dojo: A guest reviewer asks, "Does Danny still have his ghost powers, or are they gone?"

Me: Good question. I'm sorry to say that Danny no longer has ghost powers. They were destroyed when his DNA was purified by his Xiaolin Tiger element.

Clay: danifan3000 says, "well, I was thinking of one called the Phoenix Wings. A Shen-Gong-Wu that allows the users body to burst into flames, and use the fire to the users advantage, as well as give them the ability of flight. As for the appearance, they resemble the wings of Icarus." Hoo-wee! That there sounds like a strong one!

Me: Ya got that right, my fellow Texan!

Master Fung: Another guest reviewer says, "This was great and I can't wait for the next chapter. Hope to see Danny in a showdown soon."

Me: Well, that's very nice of you to say. And I believe that next chapter you'll get your wish! Well, that's all the reviews I have time to answer. Enjoy the new chapter!

Raimundo: Once again, our buddy SaurusRock625 doesn't own Danny Phantom, or Xiaolin Showdown!

The Fist of Tebigong Awakens! Small Solutions To Complicated Problems!


It was a peaceful day at the Xiaolin Temple. The sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing their songs, and the Xiaolin Dragons were running an obstacle course. Currently, it's Omi who is running the course, and he's building up momentum so he can pole vault over a pit filled with mechanical alligators. He manages to do so, getting over the wall in the process only for two automatic crossbows to spring up on both sides of him, and fire three arrows each! Omi managed to dodge all of the arrows, which were really blunt training arrows, and sped off to complete the challenge. He jumped up, and kicked a vase on a pedestal that was moving up and down, then spun around on the second pole to launch himself at another vase which he also destroyed.

Omi kept running, and came across a giant swinging blade which he ran straight past after timing the swing right. The next obstacle was the swinging sandbags. Omi ran into the middle of them, and dodged them all before running again. Finally, he made it to a stuffed dog that was trapped between two rings of fake fire. He jumped through the first one, grabbed the dog, and did a spin leap through the second one. Omi landed in a battle stance having finished the challenge.

Kimiko stopped the timer, and checked the young monk's time. "Nice job, Omi! Eight seconds faster than Raimundo!" She congratulated.

"Yeah. You're one slippery little dude!" Raimundo said, placing the dog back on its pedestal.

"I foolishly, and shamefully lost a quarter second on the sandbags." Omi said, feeling none too pleased about his performance. "As you might say, I smell bad!"

"It's 'I stink', not 'I smell bad'." Raimundo corrected.

"I stink?" Omi asked in confusion.

"Yeah. And you smell bad too!" Raimundo replied, laughing a bit at the end.

"Okay, Clay. You're the last one up." Kimiko said, pushing Raimundo out of the way.

"So all's I gotta do is be the fastest to get to that doggie?" Clay asked.

"Correct." Omi said.

"Alright." Clay said calmly.

Clay took up a stance, and began to do some deep breathing. He did this to think clearly, and analyze the situation. Raimundo started whispering to Omi.

"Hey, don't worry. Your record's safe! Clay's element is Earth." Raimundo informed as he snickered slightly. "Speed of a rock!"

"Don't be too sure about that, Raimundo." Came a voice from the side.

Everyone except clay looked over to see Danny doing push-ups with a five hundred pound boulder on his back. It was a part of his workout routine, and he took it in stride. Kimiko blushed slightly as she watched Danny's muscles flex.

"There is always more than one way to solve a problem." Danny said wisely.

"Ready... Set... GO!" Kimiko declared, as she started the time.

Clay then did something that none of the others were expecting. He turned around, walked over to the fake rings of fire, grabbed the dog, and walked back.

"Here ya go." Clay said, presenting the dog to Omi. "Think I shaved a few seconds off yer time there, Omi."

The others began to laugh at the look on Omi's face. He was just about to have a temper tantrum. And now that I think about it, that's kinda to be expected from an eight year old. Omi threw the dog back at Clay, and proceeded to berate the cowboy.

"But- but- you were supposed to go run, AND JUMP, AND KICK!" Omi berated. Clay wasn't really fazed by it.

"W'll I didn't much see the point in all o' that hoopin' and hollerin' so long as I got the dog." Clay responded in an easygoing way.

But Raimundo decided to mock our Earth wielding Dragon-in-Training.

"Yeah. More like you knew you couldn't beat us using your old man Kung Fu!" Raimundo said.

This joke seemed to make Omi start to laugh uncontrollably. It's amazing how the young are so easily entertained by such simple jokes.

"Raimundo mocks Clay's Tai Chi by calling it old man Kung Fu! Ha ha ha ha! Ho ho! He implies that clay is like an old man DOING KUNG FU! HA HA HA HA!" Omi laughed, falling on his back blissfully unaware that a certain Tai Chi master walked up to them.

But everyone else noticed. Danny was done with his workout by now, but he needed some help getting the boulder off of his back. Last time he tried to do so by himself, he threw out his back. Very painful... Clay noticed that Danny needed help, and went to get the boulder off his friend's back.

"Omi! Ixnay on the easing-tay!" Kimiko said in pig Latin.

But the young monk just kept laughing. He couldn't really control himself. It wasn't until a certain old man made himself known that Omi finally stopped laughing.

"Is there something funny about old men and their Kung Fu, young monk?"

Omi's eyes practically popped right out of their sockets when he saw who was talking.

"*GASP* Master Fung!" Omi said in slight fear. BUSTED!~

"You remember that the oldest oak in the grove is by far the strongest, don't you?" Master Fung asked.

"Yes, master. Uh... Clay cheated!" Omi accused.

"Oh? There is much more to being a Xiaolin Warrior than running and jumping, young monk." Master Fung explained.

"Oh, yes, master! There is KICKING too!" Omi said while kicking the air.

"Yes Omi, but there is also seeing things in a different way. For example, finding simple solutions to complicated problems. Well done Clay!" Master Fung explained in his infinite wisdom while congratulating Clay.

"Thank you, sir." Clay replied, tipping his hat.

Suddenly, Dojo slithered up to the group with the Shen Gong Wu scroll clutched firmly in his claws.

"LOOK ALIVE PEOPLE! We've got a hot Shen Gong Wu!" Dojo informed while opening the scroll.

"Ah, the Fist of Tebigong. A most powerful Shen Gong Wu, indeed." Master Fung said.

The diagrams showed someone using the Fist of Tebigong to break down a stone wall.

"Wow. That thing packs a punch." Danny said.

"Yeah, literally!" Raimundo added.

Everyone made their way to the meditation hall where the elder monks were currently meditating to balance their chi. Master Fung rang a few bells on a wind chime in a certain combination, and the ring that was around the incense cauldron lowered down into a staircase. Everyone walked down to see that the stairs led to the storage area for the Shen Gong Wu.

"Hurry, young monks! Choose the Shen Gong Wu that you will take into battle!" Master Fung commanded.

"Dibs on the Eye of Dashi!" Raimundo said. But Omi was against this.

"No! You cannot have it! You have no idea what it can do!" Omi protested while trying, and failing to take the eye from Raimundo.

"Sure I do. It's supposed to shoot... Lighting, or... Something." Raimundo said to the cheese colored monk. "Besides, I called it!"

"But I won it in the showdown! I should be the first to use it!" Omi argued.

"Fighting over a Shen-Gong-Wu?" Master Fung asked. "Are you planning to start a Xiaolin Showdown right now?"

"Master Fung, please choose who should get the Eye of Dashi." Omi requested.

"Hmmm... It should go to the winner of the obstacle course." Master Fung mused.

"YES! In your head, Raimundo!" Omi gloated, once again getting the words wrong when using slang.

"In your FACE." Raimundo corrected. But Omi just stuck out his hand.

"Talk to my fingers!" Omi said, using slang incorrectly once again.

Master Fung spoke up again, keeping his calm and patient demeanor.

"I did not mean you, Omi. Clay was the fastest on the course." Master Fung said.

"WHAT?! But! He-!" Omi said incredulously.

Master Fung took the Eye of Dashi from Raimundo, and Gave it to Clay.

"Use it wisely." Master Fung instructed.

"Much obliged, Master Fung sir." Clay said with a tip of his hat.

"The Mantis Flip Coin, and the Two-Ton Tunic will be used by you two." Master Fung said as he gave the coin to Raimundo, and the tunic to Kimiko.

"Yeah, yeah, alright." Raimundo said, feeling a little bummed out about not getting the Eye of Dashi.

"Thank you, Master Fung." Kimiko said with a more positive attitude.

"And for Danny, the Tiger's Wattō." Master Fung finished.

Danny bowed lightly in thanks, but he wasn't really paying attention to who got which Shen Gong Wu. Danny was more focused on the conversation he had with a certain member of the Tiger Clan.


***Flashback Start***


The mystery woman was playing her violin out in the temple garden. She was playing the same song that she sang to Danny a few nights ago, only it was slower and at a sadder pitch. She stopped playing when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to see Danny walking up to her, looking like he had questions.

"Hello, Danny. Is everything okay?" The woman asked.

"Hello, miss. Everything is fine, but I have a few questions for you." Danny replied.

She sighed having expected him to ask something like that sooner or later, but hoped that it would've been later. She patted the spot beside her, motioning for Danny to sit down. He did as silently instructed. It was an awkward silence for a while, but Danny managed to find his words.

"First question. What is your name?" Danny asked. "I can't keep calling you 'miss' all the time."

"No you can't. My name is Hoyuki, meaning 'flaming ice'." The now named Hoyuki answered.

"Next question. A few nights ago, I heard you singing a song that was strangely comforting to me." Danny asked.

Hoyuki started playing her violin again, and answered his question. As she played Danny could feel her emotions pouring out with the music.

"It is called Binks' Sake. An old song that was sang by the pirates of olden times. My grandfather was one of those pirates, and would sing that song with me when he came to visit. That was when I was just a little girl. When I saw you having a nightmare, I thought that the song would be a good lullaby to help you calm down." Hoyuki explained.

"Well, it worked. Thanks for that by the way." Danny said.

For a little while, neither of them said anything. They were busy just enjoying the sound of the music. But Danny finally decided to ask the one question that's been plaguing his mind for a while now.

"So, a few nights ago after you sang that lullaby... I heard you call me your son. Why? Do I look like him?" Danny asked.

Hoyuki didn't say anything. She just sat there with her hair shadowing her eyes. For a minute, Danny thought that he had brought up a touchy subject. Hoyuki turned to look at Danny with tears leaking from her eyes. Without a word, she latched on to Danny and proceeded to cry into his shoulder muttering things like 'sorry', and 'forgive me'. This perplexed Danny, until realization struck him like a brick to the head.

"...I'm your son, aren't I?" Danny asks in realization.

Hoyuki can do nothing but nod, feeling too torn up to say anything. But for Danny, it made perfect sense. How he felt that sense of a true mother from Hoyuki when he never found that same spark from Maddie. He was a little mad that Hoyuki had abandoned him fourteen years ago, but that was far outweighed by the sheer joy he was feeling. He found his real mother.

Danny wrapped his arms around his mother, and let her cry her frustrations and guilt out.


***Flashback Over***


"I get no Shen Gong Wu?" Omi asked with a puppy dog pout.

"We have only four, Omi. If you want one, I suggest you retrieve the Fist of Tebigong." Master Fung said, not at all fazed by the pouty face.

"Can we get a move on, please? We got a Shen Gong Wu to find!" Dojo said impatiently before slithering off.


***At A Café In France***


Jack Spicer was just lounging about at a café having a small celebration after he retrieved a Shen Gong Wu of his own. It was a light blue sash with three claws at the end. Jack used the Shen Gong Wu to pick up a cup of coffee that he was drinking, and took a sip.

"Mmmm, yeah. I like it. This Third Arm Sash is tight!" Jack said to himself.

"Insolent boy!" Wuya yelled as she floated in front of Jack. "You are misusing the power of a Shen Gong Wu!"

"Wuya, Wuya, calm down. What's the point of taking over the world, if ya can't have a little fun? Look, I can juggle!" Jack asked/said while using the Third Arm Sash to juggle a salt and pepper shaker.

"You are wasting time! The Fist of Tebigong awaits! IT MUST BE MINE!" Wuya yelled.

"Ah, ah, ah! We're partners, remember? So that Shen Gong Wu is ours!" Jack informed smugly before taking another sip of his coffee. "Unless you can suddenly pick things up with those seen through hands."

Wuya growled, and tried to punch Jack only for her fist to phase right through him. She growled menacingly, clenching her nonexistent fists in anger. Yeah... We can all clearly tell that the Heylin Witch is pissed off.

"See? Power down! We'll get your fist as soon as I'm done." Jack said still feeling pretty laid back.

While Jack and Wuya were arguing, a mime walked up behind Jack, and started doing some of his mime tricks. Jack took notice of this, but didn't find them funny. In fact, he found them to be more annoying than anything else.

"You got a problem? Hey go walk against air somewhere else!" Jack demanded. But the mime just ignored him.

"*Sigh* First order of business when I'm ruler of the world... Vaporize all mimes!" Jack said to himself as he started to walk away.

Apparently the mime didn't want to lose an audience, so he started twirling his arm like one would with a lasso, and made a throwing motion only for Jack to get caught by the invisible lasso. What?!

"HEY! Wait a minute! What's goin' on here?!" Jack asked no one in particular as he was pulled back by the mime. "Alright, clown. You asked for it!"

Jack pushed a button on his watch and was about to order a few of his robots to destroy the mime, but Wuya stopped him.

"WAIT! It appears that this mime has magical abilities." Wuya explained.

The mime nodded with a small smile. He then made a few motions like one would if they were playing golf, swung his invisible golf club, and hit Jack in the stomach with an invisible golf ball. Fore!

"See? He can be of use to us! Or do you require another demonstration?" Wuya asked the downed teen.

"No... I'm good..." Jack replied in a pained voice. Wuya laughed slightly at the boy's misfortune.


***With The Monks***


As the monks were flying on Dojo over a wooded area, they all had different thoughts. Omi was still miffed at not getting a Shen Gong Wu, Kimiko was happy that Danny was reunited with his real mother, Clay was focused on getting the Fist of Tebigong, and Raimundo was annoyed by the fact that Hoyuki was playing the same song over and over again, while Danny sang the lyrics.

"WILL YOU PLEASE STOP PLAYING THAT SONG?!" Raimundo asked in irritation.

"What? Why would ya want them to stop? This song is a timeless classic!" Dojo said as he landed. "Anyways, the Fist of Tebigong must be close, because I'm getting a serious case of Shen Gong Wu rash!"

"Can you be more specific?" Kimiko asked as Dojo shrunk down.

"Well, I kinda feel like an itchy feeling on my neck, and it kinda feels like a burny feeling on my back, oh and behind my tail there's this unsightly cracking! I'm not kidding! It's just, oh..." Dojo said, describing the symptoms of his rash.

"I meant about the location of the Shen Gong Wu!" Kimiko said a little grossed out. "Can you tell us EXACTLY where it is?"

"She has a point, Dojo." Hoyuki said in agreement. "We cannot aimlessly search behind every- GASP!"

When Hoyuki moved a bush to look for the Shen Gong Wu, Jack Spicer and his robots appeared from behind it. There were quite a few of his robots with him this time.

"Jack Spicer!" Raimundo said as he and the others took up battle stances.

"Surprise, surprise! Robo minions..." Jack said.

His robots made blades come out of their bodies, and start spinning like buzzsaws. Jack pointed at our Xiaolin heroes with an evil smirk on his face.

"Take 'em down!" He commanded.

Naturally, the robots did as commanded charging at the monks. However, our heroes were ready for a fight, and called upon their Dragon/Tiger elements.

"WATER!" Omi called. He managed to destroy a few of the Jack Bots that were attacking him with a few well placed punches and spin kicks.

"WIND!" Raimundo yelled as he called upon his element.

He used a discarded robot head to fight some of the robots, kicked one out of the way, and then ripped another robots head off.

"Hey robot! Lose something?" Raimundo taunted holding up the robots head.

"FIRE!" Kimiko yelled. She leapt up into the air, and destroyed some robots using split kicks.

Danny was using the Tiger's Wattō to slice through all of the robots that were going after him. Even without Danny's light element, it was sharp enough to cut through the robots like butter. Hoyuki was using her violin as a melee weapon, which was pretty impressive. That's when Hoyuki called upon her own Xiaolin Tiger element.

"MUSIC!" Hoyuki cried. She then used her Violin bow to slice, and stab her way through the robots. Quite impressive for someone of her current age.

Watching his mother fight, Danny could only stare in awe. The fighting style of the Tiger clan was so ferocious, yet at the same time quite graceful. It almost looked like his mother was dancing through the carnage. Not wanting to be outdone, Danny called upon his own Tiger element. Like when he unlocked his element, the Japanese characters for tiger and light appeared in a golden glow on the young warrior's bare chest.

"LIGHT!" Danny called as a tiger made of light engulfed him. Danny charged, and pounced on one of the Jack Bots. But instead of being brought down by his weight, the light sliced through the robot like it was nothing!

"Ooh! Ah! Hey! Watch out!" Dojo said as he dodged stray parts from robots. Dojo looked at Clay, and noticed that he had yet to join the fight. "Um, Clay? Big fight here! Wanna get in on it?"

"Just takin' ma cleansin' breath. *Fooo* Now A'hm read-OOF!" Clay was interrupted by a Jack Bot that shoved him. This caused Clay and Dojo to fall off of a ledge.

Kimiko ran over to where the robot was still hovering after it pushed Clay off the cliff. She jumped up into the air, and activated her Shen Gong Wu.

"TWO TON TUNIC!" Kimiko yelled, turning the Shen Gong Wu into its armored state. As she fell, the impact and weight from the tunic smashed the Jack Bot. Kimiko deactivated her Shen-Gong-Wu, and looked down to see Clay and Dojo safe on a sturdy branch that was sticking out of the side of the cliff.

"You okay, Clay?!" Kimiko asked, worried for the safety of her friend.

"Don't worry 'bout me none! Just git that Shen Gong Wu!" Clay said from his perch.

While this was going on, Raimundo reached into his pant pocket, and took out the Mantis Flip Coin.

"Mantis Flip Coin!" Raimundo said, activating his own Shen Gong Wu. He then flipped high into the air, avoiding the two robots that tried to double team him. He landed next to Omi, and started flipping the coin between his hands.

"Bet you wish YOU had this Shen Gong Wu." Raimundo said, teasing the little monk.

"Yes…" Omi trailed off, knocking the helmet off of a charging Jack Bot. "But YOU need it more than ME!"

Omi threw the helmet from the Jack Bot like a discus used in Greek tournaments at Jack. Said boy genius ducked in time for the flying disk to take the head off of another Jack Bot. The remaining Xiaolin Warriors retook their battle stances.

"The battle is over, Jack Spicer! You have lost!" Omi declared smugly.

"What ever shall we do?" Jack asked, feigning despair.

"Perhaps we should introduce them to our new friend… Le Mime." Wuya suggested.

The same mime from before showed up, and raised his hat in greeting. This just served to make three out of the five warriors laugh.

"You brought a mime?" Kimiko asked with a giggle.

"What're you gonna do? Annoy us to death?" Raimundo asked in a mocking tone.

The mime quickly ran up to the three remaining Xiaolin Dragons, and made motions like he was putting them in a giant box. This just made them laugh even more.

"Look at him. He's pretending to put us in a box! Oh no, we are trapped! We can not get out!" Kimiko mocked.

"Very silly, but-OOF! Hey…" Omi said as he backed away from what appeared to be an invisible wall. Raimundo walked forward, but he also hit it. This confirmed the Dragon of Wind's suspicions.

"There is a wall!" Raimundo said as realization struck him like a ton of bricks. Kimiko pushed against her left side, only to find that she and her fellow dragons were boxed in. Literally.

"Uh, guys… We really ARE trapped!" Kimiko said, a sense of panic overwhelming her.

The three of them tried desperately to get out, while Le Mime just leaned against the corner of the box. One thing was certain, these guys weren't getting out any time soon.

"You kids have fun. We've got a Fist of Tebigong to find!" Jack said as he, Wuya, and Le Mime left the three in the box.

Omi, Raimundo, and Kimiko were now trying even harder to bust out of the box, but still to no avail! All three of them had just one thing on their minds. 'Where are Danny, Hoyuki, Dojo, and Clay?!'

It turns out that while everyone else was distracted, Danny and his mother climbed down the cliff in order to help Clay and Dojo. They were now climbing back up, and saw the others who were trapped. However, the four of them didn't know that they were trapped.

"Hey, what're y'all doin' here? Shouldn't ya be goin' after that Shen Gong Wu?" Clay asked.

The others were yelling at the free warriors to go after Jack, but their shouts were muted by the invisible box.

"What's that? We can't hear you!" Danny said.

"Oooh, they're playing charades!" Dojo exclaimed, having misinterpreted what the others were doing.

"This hardly seems like the time to be playing fancy parlor games, but if you insist." Hoyuki said. "Now, let's see. Uhhh…"

"Ummm, Fabric Softener! Uhhh, an Igloo! I-i-it's Tooth Decay! I-I-IT'S HAM! It's salt cured ham!" Dojo said, throwing out random guesses before thinking with his stomach.

"No, that's a Monkey if I ever saw one. Maybe a Lemur." Clay said while Raimundo thrashed about.

"They can't hear us! They think that we're playing charades!" Kimiko said in despair.

"Yeah? Well I got a charade for 'em!" Raimundo said as he walked up to the wall in front of him. He pointed at himself, and the guessing began.

Dojo: "Raimundo! It's Raimundo!

Raimundo then points at his butt.

Dojo: "Eehhh Hieny! Tuckus! Ehhh, Keister! Ehhh, Gluteus Maximus!

Clay: "Butt?"

Dojo: "Good one, Clay!

Raimundo starts to kick the air in front of him, without hitting the invisible wall.

Hoyuki: "I believe that this one is kicking."

Raimundo points at Clay.

Danny: "It's Clay!"

"Ah reckon yer right, Danny! Raimundo's gonna kick ma… HEY!" Clay said as he realized what Raimundo had just charaded.

"Ohhh, penalty. Five yards for unnecessary roughness!" Dojo said, mixing up the rules of charades and football.

"Oh, that is it! You are in so much-DOH!" Clay said as he hit the invisible wall. "What the?!"

"It's soome kiinnda in-vis-able… booox!" Raimundo said, poorly imitating Clay's southern accent. "Eh. Took 'em long enough!

"Get outta my way!" Kimiko said, pushing past her friend. She wrote something on her PDA, and showed it to her friends so they could read it.

"It says, 'trapped by mime magic. Stop Jack! Get Shen Gong Wu!' Huh!" Danny said, reading the message aloud.

"magic mimes?" Dojo asked incredulously. "I knew they were obnoxious, but now they're dangerous too?! Whoa!"

Clay and the others took off running to get the Fist of Tebigong, leaving the others to ponder their fate. It seemed pretty bleak at the moment.

"It is up to Clay to retrieve the Fist of Tebigong!" Omi said.

"In other words... We're doomed!" Kimiko said in despair.

"We must have faith in our friend's abilities!" Omi protested.

"Old man Kung Fu to the rescue?! Pfff! As if!" Raimundo rudely said.

"Face it, Omi. If Clay gets into a showdown, we have no chance!" Kimiko explained.

"Good bye Fist of Tebigong..." Raimundo trailed off.

"Hello ten thousand years of darkness!" Kimiko finished.

"You may have a point... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Omi started screaming as he ran forward. As he was running, Omi was also running on the walls and roof of the box.


***With The Others***


As Clay, Danny, and Hoyuki walked along the path, they used Dojo as a living Shen Gong Wu detector. And from the look of things, they were definitely getting closer. Dojo had his eyes closed as he continued to sense for the Shen Gong Wu.

"Keep going! We're definitely gettin' warmer! That Fist of Tebigong is so close I can-" Dojo stopped mid sentence when he saw... LE MIME! "BREAK!"

They all stopped, and took up battle stances. The three warriors understood that one must never underestimate their opponent, no matter who they are.

"We don't want no trouble now..." Clay said defensively.

Le Mime tilted his hat down, and started to mirror Clay's movements. For a while, the four just stood there. But Dojo being the impatient dragon that he is wanted something exciting to happen.

"Anybody gonna make a move here?" Dojo asked.

"The fella don't seem to mean any harm." Clay said as he lowered his hand.

Le Mime also lowered his hand. Clay stepped to the side, and so did make-up face. Clay moved forward, and Le Mime did the same. But he crashed into Clay, sending them both to the ground.

"He's doin' everything a'hm doin'!" Clay said in shock.

"The mirror gag." Hoyuki said in disgust. "Dojo, now you see why I hate mimes!"

Clay got back up, and began to make a few movements to see if Le Mime would do the same. He got the same result every time. A copycat mime.

"Cute. But we still have a Shen Gong Wu to find!" Danny said, not liking the fact that they were wasting time.

"Ah think ah got an idea." Clay thought to himself. "Ya know, this is gonna hurt you a lot more than it's gonna hurt me!"

Clay started making motions like he was gonna punch himself in the face. Naturally, Le Mime continued to copy the cowboy. Dojo and the others had no idea what was going on until... POW! Clay and Le Mime punched themselves in the face full force! Le Mime's legs wobbled a little, and he fell back out cold.

"Nice job, Clay! Way to take one for the team, buddy!" Dojo said as he slithered back onto Clay's shoulder. All clay received from his hit to the face was a black eye.

"Very well done indeed, Clay!" Hoyuki said, congratulating the young dragon of earth.

"Thank you, ma'am." Clay replied with a tip of the hat.

"Come on! Let's go get that Shen Gong Wu before clown face wakes up." Danny said as he started back down the path.


***Back With The Trapped Dragons In Training***


While Clay and the others had just brought down Le Mime, Omi and the others were still trapped. Raimundo was still kicking the wall of the box in an attempt to bust out of there with no success at all. After a while, Kimiko had enough.

"Raimundo, would ya give it a rest already?" Kimiko asked.

"No way! There's gotta be a way outta here!" Raimundo said as he charged at the wall only to be deflected back at Omi and Kimiko. "Okay, those walls are solid!"

"Here, let me try." Kimiko grabbed Raimundo by his arm, and threw him onto the invisible wall behind her. As Raimundo slowly slid down the wall, Kimiko smirked smugly. "You're right. They're solid."

Omi walked away from the group, and began to go through a few martial arts stances.

"Silence please." Omi commanded as he continued to go through the stances.

Raimundo got up, and shook the cobwebs from his mind. He saw what Omi was doing, and seemed very confused.

"What are you doing?" Raimundo asked.

The sudden noise made Omi lose his focus, and stop whatever it was he was doing. He turned around to glare at his fellow dragon in training.

"Oh COME ON! I just said silence! I even said please!" Omi said in annoyance.

"Sorry!" Raimundo apologized.

"We just wanted to know what you were doing, Omi." Kimiko explained playing the peace keeper.

"I am focusing my chi, so that I may perform the ancient and powerful Tsunami Strike!" Omi explained. "It'll be cold dud!"

Raimundo groaned in annoyance from Omi's constant mess ups with slang. But Kimiko just corrected him while giggling slightly.

"That's 'cool dude'." Kimiko corrected.

"I stand corrected! Now, silence please!" Omi said.

Omi went through a few stances, and the glowing rows of incense burns appeared on his head again. He then was surrounded by raging waters which propelled him all around the inside of the box. He struck all over the place as hard as he could, and the box... Took zero damage.

"You are correct. Those walls are VERY solid!" Omi informed.

Raimundo and Kimiko were too dizzy from getting caught in Omi's attack to say, or do anything.


***Meanwhile***


Jack's robots were ripping down trees using drill arms and legs as they searched the mountain for the Fist of Tebigong. Wuya's eyes were glowing as she used her sensory abilities to try and find the Shen Gong Wu.

"Ahhhh. The Fist of Tebigong is close! I sense it!" Wuya said.

"We'll find it! My Drill Bots will turn this mountain into rubble if they have to!" Jack declared.

Unfortunately, two of Jack's Drill Bots bumped into each other. They were none too happy, and started to attack each other. Using their drilling limbs, the two robots began to destroy each other in a fit of mechanical rage. Jack looked slightly embarrassed by this turn of events.

"Uhhh, see? Mountain of rubble." Jack said sheepishly.

"Stop fooling around and get that Shen Gong Wu, or I'll-"

"You'll what? Replace me?" Jack asked cutting Wuya off.

"Hmmm... There's a thought." Wuya said to herself, giving the idea some thought.

"Not likely!" Jack said, getting in Wuya's face.

Meanwhile Clay, Danny, Hoyuki, and Dojo were watching from afar. Dojo was twitching something fierce, and it wasn't from him being afraid.

"That ghost hag is right. That Shen Gong Wu is close!" Dojo said through his shudders.

"Alright y'all, let's sneak up on 'em real quiet like." Clay said in a hushed voice.

"Don't you tell me how to be stealthy! I'm all about quiet! Why I can-WAAAUUGH!" Dojo began to ramble, but he neglected to look where he was going, and tripped over a rock.

This caused the dragon to fall, and tumble down the side of the hill. He kept loudly crying out in pain as he tumbled, before coming to a full stop at the bottom of the hill. Dojo looked down to see that he had fallen on top of exactly what our heroes were looking for!

"Hey, the Fist of Tebigong! Check me out with the moves!" Dojo said. But he looked up due to Jack's shadow looming over him.

"Yeah, check you out." Jack said with two of his robots flanking him. Naturally, Dojo who wasn't a fighter, did the first thing that came to mind. He screamed for help.

"SECURITY!" Dojo called.

Clay ran over, and rammed into Jack using his Texas sized gut. It was more than enough to send the evil boy genius to the ground.

"Knew I could count on that gut!" Dojo said to the audience.

Danny grabbed the Fist of Tebigong out from underneath Dojo, while his mother grabbed Dojo. The three humans ran off with the Shen Gong Wu, and the dragon with Jack's robots hot on their tails. Jack finally managed to clear his head, and saw that they were getting away. Wuya floated up next to him.

"Need I say it? Stop them!" Wuya ordered.

"Third Arm Sash!" Jack yelled, activating his Shen Gong Wu.

The Third Arm Sash came to life, and reached out towards Danny. As Danny was running, the Third Arm Sash swiped the Fist of Tebigong from him. The three Xiaolin Warriors stopped as they were surrounded by Drill Bots. Things were starting to look bleak right now.


***Meanwhile***


Raimundo and Kimiko had just about given up trying to get out of the invisible box, but Omi was still trying to find a way out. He was currently trying to find a weak point in the structure of the box with no success.

"There must be a way out of this box!" Omi said in determination.

"Well if there is a way, I'm not seeing it." Kimiko said.

"Well, I ain't too proud to beg." Raimundo said.

He took the Mantis Flip Coin out of his pocket, and walked up to a wall. He started rubbing the coin against the bars of the box as he called out to Le Mime. Wait... BARS?!

"Hey mister mime guy, let us out! We think mimes are really funny, and not at all stupid! LET US OUT!" Raimundo called.

Unknown to him, Omi and Kimiko were covering their ears from the noise. The sound of metal against metal has never been a very pleasant sound for anyone really.

"RAIMUNDO! PLEASE! Stop that at once!" Omi demanded.

"Yeah, Rai! Major migraine developing here!" Kimiko added.

"No. Listen..." Omi said as realization dawned on him. He took the coin from Raimundo, and started clanging it against the 'bars' again. "What is that?"

"The bars, duh!" Raimundo said in annoyance.

"There are bars here?! I thought you said these walls were solid!" Kimiko asked as she gripped the bars.

"They are!" Raimundo defended. "But there are... Bars... Too... I guess..."

"Or maybe there are bars because you IMAGINED THEM THERE!" Kimiko implied flicking Raimundo in the head.

"Don't get snippy with me, girl!" Raimundo demanded.

While those two were arguing, Omi had walked over to another wall, and started looking for something.

"So then, if I imagine a door will there be a door?" Omi asked himself.

He felt around while imagining a door. He felt a door knob, turned it, and sweet freedom it was a door!

"Yes! Ha ha! Simple solutions to complicated problems!" Omi said as he and Kimiko walked out of the box.

Raimundo tried, but unfortunately the door closed on him, and he hit the wall. He started yelling at his friends, but they couldn't hear him due to the box.

"Omi, that was amazing!" Kimiko said as she hugged the little monk, who blushed from such contact.

"My first girl hug! May I have another?" Omi asked.

"Sorry kid, one per customer." Kimiko said.

Raimundo walked up to the two after freeing himself from the box. He started to speak with enough sarcasm to make Chuck Norris feel outclassed.

"Isn't this nice? Just us three friends having a few laughs. But where are our other three friends, mister Clay, mister Danny, and miss Hoyuki? Oh! That's right..."

Raimundo's head suddenly grew to epic proportions as he yelled at his fellow dragons.

"THEY'RE LOSING THE FIST OF TEBIGONG TO JACK SPICER! DID YOU REALLY FORGET THAT?!" Raimundo asked/yelled. His head deflated back to normal size, with cartoon anger steam over it.

Omi and Kimiko ran off to find the others, while Raimundo remained stationary. Omi reached back, and grabbed Raimundo by his shirt in order to drag him along.


***Meanwhile(Again)***


Clay and the others were still surrounded by Jack's robots. For some reason or another, they haven't been destroyed yet. Wuya got tired of waiting, and started yelling at Jack.

"What are you waiting for?! Vaporize them!" Wuya yelled in anger, and impatience.

"Wuya, Wuya, Wuya. How long have you been at this whole evil thing?" Jack asked.

"I wreaked havoc and destruction when the earth was still young, and mankind was just beginning to crawl out of the mud!" Wuya elaborated. She hated the fact that Jack was questioning her evil.

"Yeah. And yet you still make rookie mistakes. Everyone knows it's gloating first, vaporize later." Jack explained to the witch. He turned back to our Xiaolin Warriors, and began to gloat. "You three have come far, but no one can match the great evil of... JACK SPICER! MWA HA HA HA HA HA! See? Even had a great evil laugh."

"Ugh. You talk too much." Wuya said in an exasperated voice.

"The old hag's got a point." Clay said to the others. "Eye of Dashi!"

Clay activated his Shen Gong Wu, and shot a couple of bolts of lightning at the two robots that were behind Jack. This forced the boy genius to duck, and made the Fist of Tebigong launch into the air. Both Clay, and Jack made a grab for it, and they grabbed it at the same time.

"It's glowing!" exclaimed Jack.

"Looks like we're in for a Xiaolin Showdown, ya dirty snake!" Clay said with a smirk.

Finally, Omi and the others arrived on the scene. Omi saw Clay about to go up against Jack in a Xiaolin Showdown.

"This way, hurry!" Omi said as he and the others slid down the side of the hill. When they made it down, Dojo waved them over.

"Guys! You're just in time for the show!" Dojo said.

"Clay, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My Third Arm Sash against your Eye of Dashi!" Jack challenged.

"Name yer game, Jack." Clay said.

They heard bird noises from a nearby tree, and saw a Robin perched on a branch.

"That Robin! First to catch it wins!" Jack explained.

"Ohhh, catch a Robin?" Omi asked in confusion of the challenge.

"Ah accept yer challenge, Jack!" Clay said.

"Let's go! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" Both said at the same time.

The showdown flashes began, and the area where everyone else was standing rose up so they could see everything.

"Still not used to that..." Kimiko said looking a little green.

"GONG YI TEMPAI!" Both shouted as the target robin flew past them.

Jack activated his heli pack, and flew off after the Robin. He was determined to catch it, and win the Showdown. He flew as close as he could to the Robin, and made his move.

"Third Arm Sash!" Jack yelled, activating his Shen Gong Wu.

The sash sprang to life, and charged at the Robin. However every time the Third Arm Sash tried to grab it, the bird maneuvered just out of reach. While Jack was trying to catch the Robin using speed and brute force, Clay just stood where he had started. This greatly worried the others. Well, other than Danny and his mother, Hoyuki.

"Why is Clay just standing there?" Omi asked.

Clay took his cleansing breath as he relaxed the flow if his energy.

"He's breathing. I guess that means he's alive." Raimundo observed.

"Does he not know that the Showdown has started?" Omi asked the others.

"Don't worry! My man, Clay is…" Dojo started to root for Clay, only to see that he hasn't moved so much as an inch. "Still just standing around! Hey! GET YOUR BUTT IN THERE!"

"Look out!" Omi warned.

Everyone ducked just in time for a Robin, and Jack to fly over their heads. Clay watched them fly by, and walked over to a patch of Sunflowers. The others were confused by the cowboy's actions.

"What's he doing now?" Kimiko asked.

"My guess? Flower arrangement." Raimundo answered, not believing what he was seeing.

Jack was still chasing the Robin, and having little to no luck in catching the slippery little bird. The other three dragons saw how close Jack was to winning the showdown, and began to try to get Clay to do something.

"Come on, Clay!" cheered Kimiko.

"You must do something!" ordered Omi.

"Get in the game, Clay!" yelled Dojo.

"At LEAST shoot some lightning! I just wanna see it once!" yelled Raimundo, who really wanted to see the Eye of Dashi in action.

But Clay paid them no mind. He just kept a level head, and continued to pick sunflower seeds. For some reason, he was filling his hat with the tiny morsels. Meanwhile, Jack was still trying to catch the Robin. On this strike, the Robin BARELY got out of the way, losing a few feathers in the process. Jack screamed however, as he was heading straight for a tree. He couldn't dodge in time, and flew smack dab into the thing! The Robin however flew over to Clay, and landed on his outstretched arm.

"Hey there little feller. Enjoy the grub!" Clay said gently, as he let the worn out bird rest, and enjoy a nice meal.

Everything went back to normal, and the Robin flew away as the Fist of Tebigong materialized in Clay's hand. The Third Arm Sash appeared drapped over Clay's other arm with the Eye of Dashi in hand.

"It is like my son told you three." Hoyuki said. "There is more than one way to solve a problem. And Clay's performance in the showdown is a testimate to that."

"Wow, Clay has me tripping on very cold stones!" Omi said, once again getting the idiom wrong.

"No, no, no! It's Clay's got you stone cold… Trip… Aww, forget it!" Raimundo said, unable to fix that phrase, and with steam literally coming out of his ears.

Jack slid painfully down the trunk of the tree he crashed into, and Wuya floated up to him.

"Pathetic boy." Wuya said bluntly.

"T-t-t-that can't be right! Can I get a rematch? A do-over, or something?" Jack asked.

"The Eye of Dashi, the Fist of Tebigong, and the Third Arm Sash! Nice work, Clay!" Danny said, giving his friend a pat on the back.

"Ah made out okay, Ah figure." Clay said.


***On The Ride Home***


As the monks were flying home on Dojo's back, Clay was beaming with pride at his accomplishment. Kimiko took notice of this.

"Awww, look at Clay, beaming like the big hero!" Kimiko said, teasing her friend slightly.

"Daww, now y'all are gonna make me blush!" Clay said in a slightly bashful tone.

"So Clay, can I give the Eye of Dashi a try?" Raimundo asked.

"Sure thing, Rai." Clay said as he gave the Eye of Dashi to the dragon of wind.

"WHAT?! WHY?! I should try it before you! I found it!" Omi said as he tried to take the Shen Gong Wu from Raimundo with no success.

"You snooze you lose, Omi." Raimundo said.

"Then perhaps I should try the Fist of Tebigong… ON YOUR HEAD!" Omi said as he put on the Fist of Tebigong.

Kimiko didn't like their arguing at all. She was about to put a stop to it, but Hoyuki beat her to the punch! Or in this case, beat her to the Wu.

"Children. Cease your pointless argument, or I'll Third Arm Sash your mouth's shut!" Hoyuki said in a threatening tone.

"You know, I think we all learned a valuable lesson today." Danny said, getting the attention of the others.

"Never lose trust in a friend?" Kimiko guessed.

"The power of simple solutions?" Omi asked.

"Omi shouldn't use slang?" Raimundo guessed, getting a sour look from the yellow monk.

"Nope!" Clay interjected. "It's that everybody hates a mime."

This threw all of our heroes into a fit of laughter as they all rode home. Who knows what their next adventure will hold.


And we're done! Well everyone, with this new chapter done, I just wanna let everybody know that I plan on giving Danny a signature Shen Gong Wu. I've set up a poll for it on my profile. Here are the poll choices.

The Eye of Dashi

The Third Arm Sash

The Tongue of Saiping

The Changing Chopsticks

The Moonstone Locust

The Woozy Shooter

The Sapphire Dragon

The Serpent's Tail

The Shadow of Fear

Please vote on this poll so that I will know what to do for Danny's signature Shen Gong Wu. Also, I plan to give the Sapphire Dragon three sister Shen Gong Wu. Kinda like Seiryu, Suzaku, Byakko, and Genbu. If you have any ideas for the ones that will represent Suzaku, Genbu, and Byakko, feel free to either PM me, or write about it in the reviews. I promise to take every idea into careful consideration. Goodbye until the next chapter!
