they're up!
Disclaimer: Also, i don't own Xiaolin showdown, but i will one day!
Omi started the battle with a cry that sounded something like this. "Tornado Strike! WATER!" Then he flipped up and landed on one
of the Rock Creatures. He started out with some old fashion kung-fu style kicks and punches and ended up blasting the Rock Creature
apart by using the Eye of Dashi. Clay crumbled one into dust by using his Fist of Tebigong. (A.N. I think that's how you spell it.) Kimiko
eyes glared as she heated up and blasted 2 Rock Creatures straight into ash in her anger seeing Raimundo like this.
"Destroy all you want guys," said Raimundo calmly. "We'll just make more." And with that, he snapped his fingers and more Rock
Creatures appeared out of the ground. "Raimundo, stop!" cried Omi, stalling for time. "We know that you're a Xiaolin warrior deep
down inside. Come back to our side!" Raimundo did nothing but eye Omi with a cold look and smirked. "And these words are coming
from the very same doofus that told me that I was on the Haylin side for good?" Omi tried again, but didn't work and also got his butt
kicked by a Rock Creature.
"Jack Bots, ATTACK!" cried Jack, wanting some of the actions too. Chase added his tigers in the fight. The Haylin side was defiantly
outnumbering Kimiko, Clay, and Omi but none of them would give up. "Come off!" shouted Omi. "Give it all you have!" Raimundo
smirked again. "You need some practice on your slang Omi, that's 'Come on, give it all you got.' And I will, with pleasure." "Typhoon
boom, WIND!" he shouted and rose into the air.
"I'm gonna enjoy this a lot!" he cried. He knocked Clay off his feet and slammed him into a nearby tree trunk. "Partner that hurts!"
muttered Clay as he got up again. "RAIMUNDO! What do you think you're doing?!" shouted Kimiko. "What I'm doing?" asked Rai
innocently. "I'm gonna get revenge on you guys and it's gonna be sweet!" He turned his head and saw Dojo peeking out from under
Clay's hat. Rai glared and Dojo went diving for cover again. And so the battle raged on. (sry I'm not going to write most of the action
parts cause I suck at it.) But in midst of all the battle commotion, Omi grabbed enough time to shout out, "Tangle Web Comb!" and
strapped Raimundo down onto the ground. Raimundo cursed and groaned as he tried to free himself, unsuccessfully. "Haha!" cried Omi
in a voice of victory. "OMI! YOU STUPID BITCH! FREE ME!!" "No can do." said Clay stepping up besides Omi. "Oh, fuck you
guys." Rai tried to free himself again without much luck. Kimiko flipped and ended up near Omi and Clay. "Rai…" she murmured. It
broke her heart to see him like this, she couldn't bear it. "Judolette Flip, FIRE!" she shouted, but not to Raimundo, to Clay and Omi. The
attack didn't really hurt them, they just got stunned for a moment. Taking action of it, she hurried up to Raimundo with the Tangle Web
Comb and concentrated her mind with it. 'Free Rai' she commanded silently. Slowly, the ropes that held Raimundo was loosened and
soon, he was able to move.
By this time, Omi and Clay had gotten over their shock seeing Kimiko help Rai. "Kimiko," said Clay. "Do you know what you just
did?" Dojo joined in and shouted, "YOU JUST FREED RAI WHEN OMI BOUNDED HIM! WHOSE TEAM ARE YOU ON
ANYWAY?!" "Yes Kimiko," said Rai, smirking. "I want to know that too. If you're a Xiaolin Warrior, then why risk your life to save
me?" Kimiko just blushed and looked down at the ground. "No matter." Raimundo continued. "Rock Creatures, after them!" he
commanded. For he saw Omi, Clay, and Dojo run off into the woods. They realized that since Raimundo was already on the Haylin side,
and Kimiko had joined him that they didn't stand a single chance. So they did the only thing they could, they fled. They didn't get far
when they heard the Rock Creatures' heavy feet pounding after them. "DOJO!" both of them screamed.
Dojo slithered out of Clay's hat and transformed into his giant side and took off into the night sky into safety. The Rock Creatures,
who couldn't fly, gave up and stomped back to the castle. Speaking of the castle, Raimundo had led Kimiko inside, along with Chase
and Jack. Jack's eyes lit up when he saw all the video games and such and ran to play. Chase and Wuya went into her throne room to
talk about matters and such. Rai, on the other hand, was still staring at Kimiko, not believing that she saved him. "Why?" he asked her
again. Kimiko still didn't answer. "Whatever, let's go up to my room." Rai led her up the stairs and into a dark room. He turned the lights
on with some diffuculty trying to find the light switch.
"When are you planning on going back?" asked Rai. "Going back?!" said Kimiko, sitting on his bed. "Rai, I betrayed Omi and Clay
for you! And now you want me to go back?" "Yeah well, it was your choice." replied Rai calmly, going on the bed to sit with her. "Why
though?" he asked again. "Because," said Kimiko softly. "I couldn't bear seeing you like that." She hugged Rai, "What Omi said was part
true. I know that deep inside, you're still good." Rai stood up abrutly. "Well, maybe you don't know me too well, cause I definatly
changed." Kimiko stood up too. "No." she said. "You're still Rai. And that's all I care. I'll do anything for you, and I'll always be near
you, by your side." She closed her eyes slowly and kissed Rai on the lips. Raimundo's eyes widened in shock but he returned the kiss
Kimiko gave him. They broke free after some time and from the look in Kimiko's eyes, Raimundo could tell that she had wanted to that
for some time. "I love you Rai." murmured Kimiko as they kissed again. They stood there, lips in contact, for a while. They broke apart
when they heard noises downstairs. "Better go see what that's about." said Raimundo as he went out the room with Kimiko behind him.
