Part 4: One Piece.
Back at the Xiaolin Temple, the Xiaolin Dragons were in the meditation room meditating. Getting rid of all hate and anger.
Omi, needed to meditate an awful lot. After what had happened with his brother over the past couple of months, he hated him. Now that the Kin of Wu were gone, Zizou had gone solo. It pained Omi to see his evil brother being so happy and suceeding in his task of becoming more powerful.
His fellow Dragons, too, hated his brother. Beacause of Omi's brother and the fact that he had released WuIti, Raimundo had nearly died.
But the days of Wuya were long gone. She was dead. Just like all of the Kin of Wu, she was in Wu Heaven.
It had been a while since Wuya had first burst on the scene. She made an appearence when the Dragons went to retrieve their first Shen-Gong-Wu. In those days, Jack was evil and was helping Wuya and Charity was not a Dragon. Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay could remember it as if it were yesterday. The Channel Changer had proved useful when the Dragons were put to the test by the Green Goblin Glower just three days before.
While in the meditation room, the Scrolls of the Shen-Gong-Wu glowed to indicate the activation of another Shen-Gong-Wu.
Dojo came flying in with the scrolls and opened them quickly.
"Ah, the One Piece. A most mysterious Shen-Gong-Wu." explained Master Fung. "It is a useless Shen-Gong-Wu. It has no power. I'm sorry to say, there is no point in going to get it. It is just a treasure box that is filled with Gold. It was Master Dashi's treasure. It was left to the Xiaolin Temple when he passed away. But, everything owned by the Grand Master is a Shen-Gong-Wu. The same for Wuya. But, as she is dead, she has no use for them either. I do not even know if Wuya had much. Oh well. I suppose you better go fetch it. If you want to you can. If you don't then, I do not mind. But I will say, we shall be rich if you do get it.!
All of the Dragons smiled and money signs flashed in their eyes.
"We'll get it!" they cried running outside to wait for Dojo.
When Dojo went out, the Dragons jumped on his back and they set off to find the One Piece.
"I sure hope that Zizou doesn't try to get it!" said Rai sounding worried.
"ME TOO!" cried the remaining five Dragons.
Soon, they came to a cave deep in the cliff's on the southern england coast.
As the Dragons entered, they found their treasure. The One Piece lay there. It was there for the taking. But not a single soul was there to take it. There were only the Dragons. The cave was empty. No Zizou.
Where was Zizou? He had been so fast to get the Green Goblin Glower.
What is he up to? they thought.
He must be close. thought Omi.
But, Zizou didn't come. He wasn't interested in treasure. He was interested in something else that he was planning. It was a terrible plan. Zizou wanted no mistakes. He would not fail this time. He would succed in his task. His, unknowable task.
The Dragons arrived at the Temple, rich. They locked the money into the Shen-Gong-Wu vault and left it for another day. Returning to the Meditation Room to break into peace, once more.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Next time on Xiaolin Showdown...
"Confidence is the key my young ones"
The Dragons thought back to Master Fung's lesson. Confidence is the Key.
"GONG YE TAN PAI!" they cried as the Xiaolin Showdown began.
