Chapter 4: Objects and a Sport

"Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" I shouted.

"Fine, say your terms," replied Jack Spicer, annoyed that he wasn't the one to call the showdown.

"Well, since neither of us have any Shen Gong Wu, I guess we are just fighting for the Mantis Flip Coin!"

"Well duh!" replied Jack.

This started to make me extremely mad.

"Ugh! Anyway, the challenge is a race across San Francisco – the first one to reach the coin on the other side of the city wins!" I said.

"Okay Kimiko, I accept your terms!"

"Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!" we both yelled.

San Francisco turned into a huge city – either the buildings, cars, and everything in San Francisco turned giant, or Jack Spicer and I turned tiny, along with my fellow monks watching.

"Wow," I breathed.

"Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention this – a Xiaolin Showdown turns everything different than what you expect! It can't always be so easy!" announced Dojo.

"You tell us now?" I asked, my temper getting up.

"Oh, uh, yeah. Sorry about that," replied Dojo.

"Dojo you –" I was about to freak out at Dojo until Raimundo interrupted me.

"Uh, Kimiko, shouldn't you focus on the showdown?" he asked.

"Oh right!" I replied, turning a bit red from embarrassment.

"Gong Yi Tempai!" Jack and I yelled.

We both started running very quickly, and I realized that the race would be longer because the city was so huge.

I was way far ahead of Spicer, that's what he gets for being way to out of shape.

I could hear my monks cheering me on.

"Go Kimiko! Even though you are a girl I believe you can win!" cheered, obviously, Omi.

"Go Kimiko! Run as fast as a mule being chased by my dad on Mule Day!" called Clay, making us all stare at him in wonder.

"Go Kimi! I know you can do it! I have faith in you!" shouted Rai, and hearing how he had faith in me gave me a burst of energy.

I then turned my head to check on how far Spicer was, and I saw a creepy, purple, ghostly figure yelling at Jack.

"Come on Jack! You worthless fool! I knew all that time just working on your robots and eating pudding would was a waste!" she yelled.

"Wuya!" Jack whined. Then a few seconds later, a look of realization came over his face.

"WUYA! Thanks for reminding me! I have my robots! Time to cheat! Jackbots attack!" the goth yelled.

The next thing I knew a bunch of robots where flying at me!

"Kimiko! Watch out!" called Raimundo, full of concern.

I saw them all attacking me, so I used the fighting skills I learned from Akio.

One of the robots came up behind me so I flipped backwards behind it and kicked it into three other ones.

"Wow! Kimiko sure knows how to fight!" said Raimundo, impressed.

"Yeah she's destroying those robots real well!" added Clay.

"For a girl she's doing okay, but not nearly as great as how I could defeat those robots, for I am better than anyone!" exclaimed Omi, to more annoyed looks from Clay and Raimundo.

As I was fighting the robots, Jack Spicer passed me, and was nearing the other side of the city and the Mantis Flip Coin. When I finally destroyed the final robot, I took off as fast as I could, getting really close to Jack, and the end of the race.

"Prepare to lose, Spicer!" I yelled.

Both of us reached the end of the race in a photo finish, then the scenery changed and I was holding the Mantis Flip Coin. The other monks congratulated me for my victory, and Jack just started to whine.

"Why didn't I get the coin!" he cried.

"Shut up Jack. If I had a body, I would have slapped you by now!" Wuya shouted at Jack as they left.

"Great job Kimiko!" Rai, Clay, and Omi all congratulated.

"Wonderful work Kimiko, we now have the very first Shen Gong Wu," said Master Fung, putting the coin onto a drawer in the temple vault, "we can use it in training tomorrow, but for now, you monks can have the rest of the day off."

"Sweet!" exclaimed Rai.

"Great!" added Clay.

"Awesome!" I said.

"But, Master Fung, what is this, day off? How can a day be turned off? And when does it get turned back on?"

"Seriously Omi?" asked Raimundo.

"What?" he asked, clearly confused.

"Let me explain Omi…" Clay started as Raimundo and I started out into the bright sun

"They're going to be a while…in the meantime do you want to play some soccer?" asked Raimundo.

"I've never actually played soccer before…" I replied.

"Well I can teach you Kim!" suggested Rai.

"Okay, then I'll give it a shot!" I said.

On one of the larger fields, Raimundo stuck some sticks up for the nets, and brought down two soccer balls.

"So you brought two soccer balls all the way to China from Brazil?" I asked.

"Hey, you never know when you might need an extra!" replied Raimundo protectively.

"Haha, okay Rai," I said.

Raimundo set the ball down at my feet.

"Well…" he said.

"Well what?" I asked.

"Kick the ball!" he exclaimed, "wait – do you even know the general idea of soccer?"

"Um, well, you see, um, no," I replied.

"Haha okay, well I'll explain…"

After a few hours, I finally got the hang of kicking, dribbling, and passing the ball. Honestly, it was a great afternoon. I learned a new sport, and being alone with Raimundo for an afternoon while all his attention on me was pretty good too.

We sat under a beautiful cherry blossom tree, taking a break from all the soccer.

"What do you think Clay and Omi are doing now?" I asked.

"Wha…?" Raimundo seemed to be staring at something in my direction. Wait – was he staring at me? That made me blush, and when Raimundo realised what he was doing, he blushed too.

"Uh, sorry. Hehe, what was the question?" he laughed, still blushing.

"Nevermind, Omi is probably still learning what it means to have a day off!" I giggled.

"Haha yeah, that little guy is hopeless!" Raimundo laughed along with me. I loved hearing his laugh. It was really unique, a laugh you could hear and go, "That's Rai!"

"Well, let's go play soccer!" exclaimed Raimundo.

"What? Rai, have you payed any attention to what we've been doing this past afternoon?" I asked.

"Well we haven't learned one thing yet!" replied Raimundo.

"And that would be…?" I questioned.

"How to be a goalie!"

In a matter of minutes I was standing in between a makeshift net, and Raimundo was infront of me, with a ball under his foot.

"Ready?" he asked.

And then it started pouring rain.

"Are you serious?" I laughed.

"Well that was convenient timing!" chuckled Raimundo sarcastically.

"So much for learning to play goalie!" I shouted.

Raimundo and I were having fun running in the rain when suddenly I slipped in the mud, and right when I was about to hit the ground, I found myself in Raimundo's arms as he caught me.

"Hehe, thanks," I said, feeling comfortable in Raimundo's arms. It was hard to believe that I'd just met him that morning. I felt butterflies in my stomach from being so close to him. Ugh, how did I feel this way about a guy I just met?

It took a few minutes until we realized that Raimundo still had his arms wrapped tightly around me, but neither of us seemed to mind, until we figured that it was awkward for two people who just met that day to be in that position. We both separated as fast as if we were hugging Jack Spicer.

"Oh, sorry," we both awkwardly said.

We were then saved by Dojo.

"Kids, a Shen Gong Wu just revealed itself!"

"The Shen Gong Wu is the Two Ton Tunic. It turns into an armor that can deflect anything. It must be heavy!" I read from the scroll.

Dojo seemed to be having trouble flying – the rain was turning into a storm, and you never knew when lightning would strike.

"Dojo, are you okay? This storm is mightier than a bull when it's mad!" asked Clay.

"I'm just having trouble flying in this storm! I don't think I can get you guys there until it clears!" replied Dojo.

Dojo landed and we all huddled together to keep warm, and I was forced close to Raimundo – not that I'm complaining.

In a few minutes, the storm cleared and we quickly headed over to the Shen Gong Wu, only to see Jack Spicer flying off with the Two Ton Tunic.

"If only there was no storm – then we would not be all messy!" said Omi.

"That's 'in a mess' and we can just get it back in a Xiaolin Showdown!" I pointed out.

"Of course I knew that – I do not need to be corrected by a girl!" replied Omi.

"You know what Omi, I've been holding off because I just met you, but you are really sexist! Girls are people too! And we are totally capable of everything guys are! I even won the first Shen Gong Wu!" I replied, infuriated.

Omi simply shrugged at this, which made me even more mad but I figured yelling at him would get me nowhere, so I just dropped it.

We arrived back at the temple, disappointed at losing a Shen Gong Wu.

"Young monks, you must not be sad; you cannot win every Shen Gong Wu. Now, today has been very busy and it is getting late. So get to bed and I'll see you in the morning," said Master Fung.

"More like get to mat," grumbled Raimundo.

I was happy to get to finally sleep, the day was pretty eventful, and I was extremely tired.

I awoke to Dojo's voice, announcing that there was yet another Shen Gong Wu that has revealed itself.

"The scroll says that the Eye of Dashi shoots a burst of lightning!" I said, impressed.

"Now that sounds like a Shen Gong Wu!" exclaimed Raimundo.

We arrived in a forest and the Eye of Dashi was sitting in a tree.

"Well that was easy," said Clay as Omi ran over and touched the Wu.

But unfortunately, Jack Spicer was there at the same time and the Eye of Dashi started to glow.

"Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"

"Ugh, fine. What is it Opi?" replied Jack.

"My Mantis Flip Coin against your Two Ton Tunic, the first one to reach the Eye of Dashi at the end of the path wins! And my name is Omi!" said Omi.

"I accept your challenge!"

The scenery changed and the stones all rose up, so they were at different levels, and there were gaps in between them.

We all cheered Omi on, but it was obvious who would win, especially with the Shen Gong Wu wagered. Omi used the Mantis Flip Coin and easily flipped from one stone to another, and Jack Spicer used the Two Ton Tunic, but was so weak he couldn't move with it on.

Omi easily got to the end in seconds, and the scenery changed back as Omi was holding the three Shen Gong Wu.

"Well done Omi!" we all congratulated.

"Oh, it was something!" he replied.

Raimundo shook his head as he corrected Omi, "that's 'it was nothing' Omi."

"Oh, my badness," Omi replied.

This caused Raimundo to hit his face in annoyance as he said, "sometimes I think he does that on purpose."

Okay everyone, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

And I also took a few last lines from the show, hopefully I won't get sued :P

And please review! I cannot stress how happy that makes me!

Anyway, have a great week everyone!
