Chapter Three: Attacks, Part Two
Omi, the only one who was asleep in a bed type thing, laid there as silence had taken over the room. It was 12 o'clock where he was and everyone was asleep. Omi turned over in his sleep but his head hit the wall. "Owww!" Omi shouted as he sat up and rubbed his head. "Stupid wall, feel my wrath!" Omi shouted and put the wall, making a new doorway into his room.
"Hm, maybe I should take those anger management classes that dojo told me about . . . nah." He said and yawned as he stood up, still tired, but he decided to get a glass of milk. He walked over to a mini-fridge in his room and took a sip from the milk carton and sighed in relief. He wipped his face on his robes and put it up. "Ahh, everything tastes better after midnight." Omi stated and turned around.
He finally realized that he had just destroyed a wall and sighed. "Master Fung will not be pleased, but this is my temple, not his." Omi said and walked over to it. "Maybe a Shen Gong Wu would help." Omi thought and had a idea. He exited through the wall and walked towards the Wu vault. The air was cool but not exactly cold. A slight breeze blew before he entered the vault.
He wasn't looking at where he was going and walked into someone. Master Fung looked at Omi with a raised eyebrow. "Let me guess, you destroyed yet another priceless vase of my ancestors?' Fung said with a sigh and before Omi could reply the few lit candles flared up and the wax almost completely melted. "Hmm." Fung said and rubbed his chin.
"No, not a vase. A wall." Omi explained, ignoring the sudden change of the candles. Omi was smart, but not exactly wise just yet. The candles could've been very important, but who the heck knows? Fung sighed and opened the vault. "The Hoduku mouse should be enough." Omi said and went down. He spiraled until he found what he was looking for. He was about to get it but when he touched the wall, it was super hot.
Omi cried out in pain and looked at his hand. It wasn't burned, but what had caused it? Omi got in a battle stance and looked around him. Quickly he jumped out of the vault and saw Master fung meditating. "Omi, behind you." Master Fung suddenly got up and produced the Thorn of Thunderbolts. He fired a lighting blast towards Omi but the monk ducked.
A huge tiger made of orange flames loomed over Omi and got a face full of lighting. Omi gasped and jumped back so he was next to Fung. "What is that?" Omi asked as the tiger reformed itself and slowly walked towards the two. Heat radiated from it and Omi started sweating. "Alright. It's 2 against one. It is outmatched and outnumbered." Omi said with a "Cha."
Omi prepared to attack but sensed something behind him. A tiger made of white flames leapt at Omi but Master Fung quickly kicked it away. "Kimiko would be extremely useful right now. They are too hot for us to do physical attacks." He said and Omi nodded. "Omi, i'm not as young as I once was. I can help, but I need the Mikado arm." Fung explained as they were back to back.
Both tigers attacked at once, leaping in the air. Omi and Fung leapt out of the way before Fung ran towards the vault. The white tiger growled and jumped in front of him, swinging its massive fiery paw. Fung did a backwards flip and then jumped over the tiger, landing 4 feet from the vault.
Omi and the orange tiger circled each other both watching the other. None wanted to make the first move but the Tiger ran at him. Omi closed his eyes and waited for the right moment. Omi's eyes snapped opened and he jumped onto the wall. "Tusnami Strike, Water!" Omi shouted; he was encased in water but zoomed at the two tigers.
Omi ripped right through them, but that was it. Both launched a ball of fire from their mouths that homed in on Omi. The Grand Master monk ran around the wall, trying to be faster than the fire balls. Fung was surrounded by the two tigers and held his arms out, ready to fight. One leapt and the other ran at him. He sidestepped out of one's way and swerved around the other. "Old Dog, New Trick." Fung calmly said and leapt in the air.
He then fell back down, but, when he landed, a massive shockwave shook the building. Omi, who was still running from the balls of fire, got an idea. He jumped off the wall but got behind them quickly. "Tsunami Strike, Water!" He shouted and shot through both of them and into the white tiger. "Master Fung, none of our attacks work." He shouted and barely dodged a slashing paw.
But Fung was no where to be seen. Omi could only dodge the attacks, feeling powerless against these fearsome foes. Omi was sweating badly and panting. "Have these years without my friends made me weaker instead of stronger?" He thought before the white tiger ran at him. He couldn't bring himself to move. "So this is how it ends. I thought I was stronger then this." Omi thought and awaited his doom.
"Omi!" Master fung shouted and Omi turned around and caught the orb of tornami. Omi activated the orb and shot a blast of water at the tiger. The water made it explode into steam and that was the turning point of this battle. Fung was fighting the orange one with the Mikado arm. He threw amazing punches and deflected a few himself.
Omi ducked into the vault and came up with the Shimo staff. He swung the staff and whacked the tiger powerfully. "I knew that I left it there for a reason." Omi joked and deflected a fire ball. The white tiger growled before it ran at Omi. Omi prepared to attack but the tiger jumped over him and landed next to the Orange one. The two tigers both attacked Fung quickly.
'Master fung!" Omi shouted and ran towards the tigers. "Geyser tri-strike, Water!" Omi yelled before three dragons made of water appeared and headed at the tigers, spiraling in the air. They then became one dragon and zoomed all around the Tigers, kocking them away and then unleashed a masive ball of water at the two tigers.
Omi flipped over to master Fung, who was panting but still ready to go. "Omi, we cannot hurt them over time, for they just repair themselves. I know a move that will destroy them instantaneously but It will require both of us." Fung said and Omi nodded before the Tigers approached them. Master Fung and Omi both took a identical battle stance. "Omi, you must release your element's animal spirit to win this battle." Fung explained and Omi nodded even though he was confused.
"Omi, now!" Master Fung shouted and leapt at the tigers. Omi suddenly felt power rush into him like a powerful river. Omi grinned before jumping in the air. "Animal Spirit, Water!" Omi shouted and a Gorilla made of water appeared next to him. The Gorilla charged at the tigers and Master Fung jumped out of the way.
The animals exploded into steam as they collided, followed by a large explosion that destroyed part of the building. "I came here to fix a wall but I just destroyed yet another." Omi said before shrugging. "Master Fung, what was with the explosion and the gorilla and the tigers? What's going on?" Omi asked, his head getting bigger with each word before deflating back to normal.
"I do not know. I shall look into it. In the meantime, we must prepare for the others." Fung said and turned to walk away, but Omi jumped in front of him.
'You mean, they are coming back? How do you know?" Omi asked frantically, waving his arms in the air and jumping up and down. Master Fung roled his eyes and sighed.
"If we were attacked, so were they. Kimiko is already on her private jet by now and Clay is taking that plane that he had bought for crop dusting, I believe." Fung said and left Omi, who was jumping up and down with a grin.

Raimundo was asleep in the tower and snoring. It was 12 o'clock at night and Raimundo didn't care. He simply laid there in sleep. Rai's eyes shot opened and he jumped off the ground with a flip. "You'll never take me..ohh!" Raimundo shouted, but realized too late that it was just a dream as he had just flipped out of the tower window. "Crap." He muttered before crossing his arms and smashing into part of the temple below him.
A mushroom cloud of dirt and rubble was formed where Raimundo had fallen before the dirt and rubble went flying away as a jet of air shot up with Raimundo on top of it. "Geez, I've got to stop destroying the temple." Raimundo muttered, and, before he fell back again, he grabbed onto the tower and threw himself ontop of it. He wasted no time before jumping off the tower.
He loved the feeling of falling through the air with the wind through his hair(Pretty corny, huh?). It was one of the few things that brought a smile to his face these days . He saw the ground rushing to greet him and began to laugh. He curled himself into a ball and spun around before opening up, falling feet first. His feet barely touched the ground before he launched back up. The ground that he touched cracked and chunks of the ground went upwards.
"Well, no sense in trying to get asleep. Might as well have some fun." He said as he flew in the air and landed on part of the temple. His temple was huge and had many different parts and buildings. In fact, his temple was more of a compound surrounded by a jungle. He began jumping from roof to roof and was laughing all the way. "Whee." He joked as he jumped at another building.
He laughed again and ran up the tallest tower. "I knew that getting cable cut off would benefit exercise." He thought and got on the roof. He wasn't close to tired and was breathing normally. "I didn't even break a sweat." He congratulated himself and looked up. His joy faded at thoughts of Kimiko. Rai never fully got over losing Kimiko and in fact had only had one girlfriend, but they broke up and decided to stay friends and were in touch with each other.
Her name was Stacy and was Raimundo's most trusted and only friend excluding her husband and kid. Suddenly a tree fell over with a crashing sound and Raimundo turned to face where the tree was. Raimundo leapt off the tower and slid off another building's roof until he jumped off and landed on the ground.
Another large tree fell and most people would run but Raimundo stood still. The tree kept falling and was a foot from his head. Raimundo quickly brought his arm up and punched the tree. The top part shattered into small pieces of kindling and fell around Rai. The Grand Master Dragon had a face that said that he was ticked off.
Monkeys made of rocks and vines jumped from the trees, hundreds of them. The monkeys chattered wildly as they surrounded Raimundo but his face had the same look. "Monkeys. Well, time for violent therapy." Raimundo cheerfully said amidst the hundreds of chattering monkeys.
Calmly, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and put one in his mouth before putting the pack up and pulling out his lighter. It was similar to a Zippo, was colored red, and had a gold, flame shaped top part. He flipped it open and lit his cigarette. "Do we have to fight, because Violence isn't the answer, but it's the best we've got?" Rai said and a single monkey jumped at him from behind.
His fist flipped back and hit the monkey square in the face. The monkey's head exploded into rubble and its body fell apart. "Ok, let's tango." Raimundo said fiercely, and all the monkeys jumped at him. Raimundo stood still and grabbed a monkey in each hand before throwing them at others. He kicked and punched, not missing a step.
His feet never left the ground and he was slidng. Several rocks pelted Raimundo but he ignored it like rain. "Wind, Dragon Blast!" Raimundo shouted and he shot up in the middle of a dragon made of air. Once up he looked at the monkeys. "Typhoon Boom!" he roared and clapped his hands together. Several monkeys were shattered by the shockwave but the rest jumped at Raimundo, who was 50 feet in the air.
"Shit." He cursed and waited for a monkey to get up close before jumping on it and then off. Raimundo laughed as the monkeys had to land before turning. Unfortunately, he smashed into a tower and out the other side. "Sweet." Rai hissed and held out the Silk Spitter. A string launched out and grabbed onto the tower.
The monkeys chattered and leapt at him, some climbing. Raimundo swung at them, just like Spider-Man would. "I am Spider-Man; I can do everything a spider can." He sang as he clobbered a few monkeys and then swung away. "I look like a bug, they should all give me one big hug. Look out, here comes Crazy-man." He continued to sing and landed on a tower.
The monkeys were swarming all around the compound and were using their vines like ropes. "Hey, I'm the Spider-Man impersonator here! You can be the mindless horde of Indiana Jones impersonators." Raimundo chuckled as several used the vines like whips to trap him. Raimundo leapt in the air, and when two monkeys grabbed his arms, he retaliated by slamming them together.
A monkey punched him in the gut while another kicked him in the face. Blood came out of his mouth but he let himself fall off the tower. Again, he smashed into the ground and dirt flew up. The monkeys slowly headed towards where Raimundo had fallen. A monkey chattered to another. Translation: He's doing more damage to himself then we are.
"Wind, Ultimate Dragon Blast!" Raimundo shouted and the wind picked up before a dragon made of wind with Raimundo in the head launched from the ground and spiraled just right so it plowed into at least 4 dozen monkeys. "Man, I have a massive headache." He groaned and the dragon dispersed. He landed on the roof of the building but jumped off of it as some monkeys smashed into it.
"How many of you are there?" He asked and fought several into rubble but they made some good hits. One rapidly punched him in the stomach and he couldn't retaliate. He kept getting punched and was being backed up. "No." Raimundo yelled and with a super breath of air, he blew the monkey 50 feet away along with the cigarette. The dragon of wind delivered dozens of super fast kicks to the wave of monkeys while lighting another cigarette.
One large monkey jumped in the air and tried to punch Raimundo from above but the dragon of wind flipped out of the way and slid back on the roof. More monkeys jumped at him but smashed into the other building, cause Raimundo sitting on top of the tower.
"I can't keep this up . . .3 hours from now." He grinned and punched a flying monkey in the head. Raimundo kicked another one but kicked right through it and into the next one. More came and tried to capture him with the vines before he keapt breaking free. More rocks were thrown and the vines became thorned. "Shit." He growled and pulled a three stooges by slamming two monkey's heads together.
Several monkeys latched onto him and he couldn't shake them off. "Hi-ya!" Rai shouted and grinned before jumping off the tower. Raimundo and several monkeys smashed into the ground again. Raimundo stood in the center, bloody and bruised. Even more monkeys surrounded him and he panted hard. "you think you're so tough, don't you? Well, you're not." Raimundo shouted and grinned wildly.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the eye of Dashi. He blasted several monkeys rapidly and fought up close with some. He kept blasting and grinned before laughing like a madman. "dragon blast, wind." he shouted and again shot up in a dragon made of air. When he got high in the air, a gleam of excitement was in his eyes.
"Wind, Eye of Dashi Storm Blade!" He yelled and a thunderstorm quickly brewed. Lighting shot from the Eye of Dashi before air surrounded it in the shape of a large sword. He swung the blade of lighting and it went flying to the ground, getting bigger. The ground it hit exploded with a hundred monkeys.
"Wind, Storm Dragon Blast!" He laughed insanely and dragons made of blue lighting shot from the clouds and struck the ground. A massive explosion followed and almost the entire compound crumbled. "finally." raimundo gasped and let himself fall. He landed perfectly amidst the ruins.
Everything was dstroyed accept for one building. He went in and saw that it was his bed room. The desk with the paper on it was perfectly fine. "Wow, good thing it didn't get destroyed." he said and changed shirts. He now wore a white T-shirt with black sleeves and a black skull and crossbones on the back.
He took the paper, which did have writting on it and divided it into 3 stacks and put each stack into a brown envelope. Raimundo then got his watch and a duffle bag before putting all of his clothes in it. Rai then got out of that room and headed through the jungle. He soon made it out and headed towards a bar.
He entered and walked towards the counter. Several people greeted him as he walked towards the counter and jumped over it. He came face to face with a tall man of 34. He had black hair and a thick beard. "Hey, Frank." Raimundo greeted and the guy greeted him back. "Hey, can I take some time off, like a week?" Raimundo asked.
"Well." Frank said and thought. "You're the best bartender I've got, but, okay. Of course, first you've gotta work the bar until morning and have a few drinks. Some tough guys think they can drink more than you." Frank said with a laughed.
"Okay, I'll show them." Raimundo replied and got to work. Several girls flirted with him and he acted interested but wasn't. He then joined a drinking contest with 3 guys and a girl. They were drinking shots of top shelf alcohol and all 3 other guys went out fast. Raimundo and the girl were now on their 10th shot. "So, I see you can hold your liquor." Raimundo said conversationally. "The more humiliating it will be when you loose in, 1 and 1/4 shot."
The giled grinned sarcastically and they had annother shot. The girl was out the next one but Raimundo drinking out of the bottle by now. He finished and collected 743 dollars in bets. "Hey, Frank, can you mail these 3 letters?" Rai asked his boss before getting ready to leave.
"Sure but one of these is addressed to your old apartment." Frank stated but Raimundo shrugged before leaving. He got outside and used a pay phone. He got a message. "Hey, Stacy. It's Raimundo. I'm mailing you my guarantee, don't open it." Rai said and hung up.
He went to the back of the bar and uncovered a black Harley. "It was a smart move to keep it here." Raimundo said and got on it. In a flash, he pulled out the golden tiger claws and cut a portal. "Well . . . here I come. Road trip!" He said and drove through.
