Back at the hotel, the Xaiolin gang sat around looking eagerly at their new companions. Omi and Kimiko sat at the table with Jackie and Uncle. Rai was kicked back on one of the beds while Clay had a seat next to the bed, on the floor. Jade was sitting with her feet dangling off of her bed, eager to start the story. The whistle of the tea kettle could be heard, and a loud ruckus indicated that Torhu was getting the tea prepared. Uncle had sealed Daolon's staff in a magic box. No one seemed to remember that Jade still had the talisman.
"So", Jade started eagerly, "It all started when Uncle Jackie found this mondo coolio shield on one of his archeology trips. Uncle found the magic talisman in the middle, and we ended up fighting a demon!"
"Aieyahh! Jade gives Cliff's notes of adventure!" Uncle snapped crankily.
Kimiko looked thoughtful for a moment. She then replied, "Well, how about telling us about the demon? And what's with the Talismans?"
Uncle glared. "Uncle is not library resource! Will only say this once, so pay attention." Everyone leaned in as Uncle explained about Shendu the fire demon, and the magic talismans from which he drew his power.
"Neat!" Rai said, "They're kinda like Shen gong wu!"
Clay nodded in understanding. "Alright, that sounds like a mighty fine adventure, but where's that dark chi wizard come inta all of it?"
Tohru entered, placing a tray of filled teacups on the table. As everyone scrambled to get their tea, Tohru answered.
"Daolon Wong is a powerful Dark Chi wizard who seeks to use the power of the talismans for himself. He is very dangerous."
Omi stood up, trying to look tough. "This Daolon Wong is no match for the Xiaolin Warriors! If the fate of the world is at stake, then we must lend our assistance!"
Jade looked at them. "So what about you guys? I mean, what's your deal?"
Omi sat back down, closing his eyes and looking all monk-like. "In ancient times, the Xaiolin warrior, grand master Dashi, pitted his powerful artifacts, the Shen Gong Wu, against the evil Heylin Witch Wuya and her dark magic…." Omi went on to explain that the dragons find and guard the Shen gong Wu against the forces of darkness.
Jackie looked at them. "But you're all so young…ow!" Uncle had smacked him again. He was holding the petrified newt and was mixing ingredients into a small pot that Tohru had apparently brought him. "Age not important! Power of elemental dragon is!" He scowled as Jackie rubbed his face. "One more thing! Locator is showing next talisman! It is the snake talisman. Will be found in…" Jackie groaned as he recognized the location.
"Bavaria…"
