Chapter 4
I don't own a Series of Unfortunate Events or Xiaolin showdown. I do own Katey,
Mathilda and Tyler. On with the story:
"The Cube of Haniku allows the user to create an ironic situation for her or his
opponent," said Dojo. "It's…"
"One of the most powerful and dangerous shen-gong-wu," said Kimiko and Raimundo at
the same time.
"There seem to be quite a lot of those," said Katey. The monks and the Baudelaires were
riding on Dojo. They landed in front of Prufrock Preporatory School.
"I hoped we would never see this place again," said Violet.
"Do not worry, Baudelaires. We shall not be here long," said Omi. They went into the cafeteria.
"It's a… cube," said one of the students, clearly not impressed.
"This is a rare and valuable cube that my parents got just for me. Anybody who's not a
cakesniffer could see that," said Carmalita Spats.
"You're right, Carmalita. I just wasn't looking at it right," said the student nervously.
"Excuse me, kind stranger, but that cube is of great mystical importance to us. May we
please have it?" asked Omi.
"No way, cakesniffer. This cube is only for the prettiest, smartest, most darling girl in the
whole wide world, which is me," said Carmalita.
"Yes, you are. What is going on here?" asked vice principle Nero, who had just walked
in.
"Those cakesniffers want me to give them my special cube," said Carmalita.
Nero looked the monks over. "You aren't students. I would never let foreigners in. And I
got rid of you Baudelaires long ago. Now get out."
"I am sorry, but we cannot leave without that cube. If you please," said Omi.
"I am sorry, but we cannot leave without that cube. If you please," Nero mimicked. "I
should report you thieves to the authorities."
"But we are not thieves," said Omi. "It is not safe for that girl to have it." As if on cue,
one of the windows shattered and Jack Spicer flew in.
"Hey. Who do you think you are, breaking that window?" asked Nero.
"I am Jack Spicer, evil boy genius," said Spicer.
"I am Jack Spicer, evil boy genius," Nero mimicked.
"How dare you mimic the Prince of Darkness. Now hand over the cube," said Spicer.
"I'm not giving this cube to a cakesniffer like you," said Carmalita.
"Did I sound like I was asking? Jack bots, attack!" Spicer ordered.
Several jackbots emerged from the broken window. "We warned you it wasn't safe," said
Katey. Then three more jackbots arrived, carrying Count Olaf, the huge person who looks
like neither a man nor a woman, and the bald man with the long nose, each carrying a
shen-gong-wu.
"Remember, follow my orders or I'll activate the bombs I placed inside you," said
Spicer.
"You placed bombs inside them?" said Klaus.
"That's right. If they disobey me, I'll press this button on my watch and the bombs will
detonate. Those white-faced women didn't believe I had the courage to do it, so I used
them as an example. You three attack the Baudelaires while my robots and I handle the
monks," ordered Spicer.
"Yes, master," said Olaf through gritted teeth. "Juju flytrap!" he said again, aiming at
Violet.
"Sword of the Storm!"said Violet, deflecting the flies back into Count Olaf.
"Serpent's Tail!" said the bald man, attacking Klaus.
"Thorn of Thunderbolt!" said Klaus, electrocuting the serpent's tail, forcing the bald man
to let go of it.
"Lotus Twister!" said the huge person who looks like neither a man nor a woman,
wrapping an arm around Sunny.
"Denshi Bunny!" said Sunny, turning into electricity and electrocuting the huge person.
The monks had already finished destroying the robots, but Spicer had already reached
Carmalita.
"Get away from me, you cakesniffer," said Carmalita.
"How dare you call me names. Jackbots, destroy her," said Spicer. The few jackbots that
were left fired on Carmalita, killing her.
"Not bad, Jack. You're getting more vicious," said a familiar voice.
"Wuya," said Clay. Wuya threw Jack out the window.
"Now hold on," said Nero. "You are interrupting my violin practice, and got my favorite
student killed. All of you must leave now."
"Shut up, old man," said Wuya. She then punched Nero right where his heart was, killing
him.
"You'll pay for that," said Katey, lunging forward to punch Wuya, but she was deflected.
Each monk tried to attack her but Wuya managed to deflect each one. She picked up the
Cube of Hanicku and was about to leave when the ground beneath her turned to ice.
Katey had used her element on the floor, causing Wuya to slip. Then a rock spike
emerged from the ground, knocking her into the air where a blast of wind tossed her
into a bolt of lightening. Finally, Kimiko and Omi used their elements simultaneously,
shoving Wuya out of the building. The monks and the Baudelaires then picked up the
Cube, hopped on Dojo and took off, while the students and teachers stared in amazement.
Sorry it took so long to update. I was in Pennsylvania visiting my grandparents. They don't have a computer. I will be adding the next chapter in a couple days.
