Xiaolin Showdown: Legend of the Thunder Child II: The Blood of the Dragon
07: The Emblem of the Hedgehog
"You're a Dragon Tamer?" said Ryan as he gawped at him.
Uh huh" said the Dragon Tamer.
"You mean you are one of the legendary Dragon Tames, the ancient order where only the strongest warriors may join?" said Ryan as his eyes went all starry.
"Yep" said the Dragon Tamer.
"Whoa…" said Ryan as he moved towards him, "It's an honour to meet you"
"The name's Logan" said the Dragon Tamer as he held out his hand, "Nice to meet you Ryan"
"How…How do you know my name?" gasped Ryan.
"I guessed" said Logan as he grinned at him from under his mask. Ryan raised an eyebrow at him, but then shrugged his shoulders and shook his hand
"Good to meet you, young dragon" said Logan.
"Excuse me?" said Ryan as he gave him a confused look, "Did you call me a dragon?"
"Yes" said Logan "You're a Xiaolin Dragon are you not?"
"No, I'm not one of the Xiaolin dragons" said Ryan "But I do work with them"
Logan looked at Ryan as he walked around him, examining him.
"You can't fool me" said Logan "You're a dragon, your eyes give you away"
"What?" said Ryan raising an eyebrow, "I'm a dragon? Seriously?"
"Yep" said Logan as he looked at Ryan again, "Didn't you know?"
"Err…No" said Ryan.
"Oh well…" sighed Logan as he turned away from Ryan and walked off.
"Hey! Wait Logan!" called Ryan "Can you help me?"
Logan stopped and pointed off into the distance.
"The Emblem of the Hedgehog is in that direction, towards the oil pipelines. Your friends, the Xiaolin Dragons, are there, along with Jack Spicer and Chase Young"
Ryan turned towards where he was pointing and saw the Jack-M3 in the distance.
"How? How did you know?" said Ryan as he gave him another clueless face.
"I guessed again" said Logan.
"Err…Thanks Logan" said Ryan as he began to walk off towards them. There was the sudden blasting noise, sounding like a jet plane flying over him.
"What the hell?" gasped Ryan as he turned around; Logan was nowhere to be seen. Ryan looked around for any sign of him, his foot prints seemed go off towards a small clearing, and then they just ended. Before Ryan could even think about what just happened, there was an explosion behind him.
"Oh! The Emblem!" gasped Ryan as he turned around and ran off towards the oil pipelines.
"WHOA!" cried Kimiko as she dived for cover behind a rock. A missile landed nearby, sending up a load of dirt into the air. She peeked out around the rock, Jack was laughing as he launched more missiles at the others.
"This isn't working!" yelled Raimundo "We can't even get close!"
Kimiko looked over to the central oil tank; right on top of it was the glowing emblem, about the size of someone's fist and covered in jagged spikes.
"That's not what I'm worried about!" called Clay as he dashed behind a pile of pipes to avoid another missile, "If one of those missiles hit the oil, the whole place will end up like my uncle BBQ burnt steaks!"
"Come on guys!" said Omi "We can win if we just work together!"
Kimiko, Clay and Raimundo looked at Omi with wide eyes.
"Are you joking?" said Raimundo "Don't you remember what happened in Australia?"
"We have a better chance than a hen laying square eggs!" said Clay.
"Well we will win!" said Omi "Even if I have to work together on my own!"
Omi leapt out from behind his cover and charged towards Jack-M3.
"Leopard attack!" yelled Omi as he leapt towards the giant metal robot, flailing his arms as he hit it with a barrage of punches and kicks.
"Ha ha ha!" laughed Jack as he watched Omi move up and down Jack-M3, "Looks like the monks are no longer any threat!"
Chase sighed as he watched Jack do a small victory dance in his seat.
"Can you just get the wu?" sighed Chase "Don't let your victory go to your thick head"
"Ah, stuff it Chase" said Jack "Your just jealous that you've never successful beaten the dragons!"
There was a bang as Omi jumped up to the cockpit window and began banging on it with his fists.
"Hey Omi!" yelled Jack as he reached for one of the buttons on the control panel, "Don't damage the window! I'm not insured!"
There was another bang as Jack launched another homing missile at Omi.
"Whoa!" yelled Omi as he jumped down from Jack-M3 and dashed off towards another piece of cover. He dived forward; the missile just skimmed his feet as it shot past him and headed straight towards the central oil tank.
"Uh oh…" said Kimiko as she watched the missile shoot straight at the tank and with a huge crunch of metal, the missile crashed into the tank.
"HOLY CRAP!" yelled Omi, Clay, Raimundo, Kimiko and Jack in unison. Chase on the other hand, sighed as he put his fingers in his ears.
"Once again Jack…" sighed Chase "You've made a complete idiot of yourself…"
They all waited for the missile to explode, igniting the million gallons of flammable oil that would send them to kingdom come. Seconds pass, and the missile still hadn't exploded. Kimiko opened one eye and peeked around the corner, the missile was still sticking out of the tank.
"Hey guys" said Kimiko as she turned back to the others who were still crouched on the ground, "Its all clear"
"Are we dead yet?" said Omi as he and the others looked up.
"Nah, the missile was a dud" said Kimiko as she looked up at Jack-M3, she could see Jack was still curled up in a ball, waiting for the big bang.
"Hey!" said Raimundo as he looked up at the Emblem, "Let's use this chance to get the Emblem!"
He jumped out from behind their cover and dashed towards the main tank.
"Heh" laughed Raimundo "Nothing to it!"
He was just approached the tank when his feet slipped out from below him, he skidded across the ground and crashed into the tank. He looked down and saw that the floor and his feet were covered in black slippery oil. He then looked up at the missile that was sticking out of the tank, oil was pouring out of the hole, covering the tank and the surrounding area with oil, making movement impossible.
"Ha!" laughed Jack as he jumped out of the Jack-M3, "You can't walk on the oil! Me on the other hand…"
He grinned as he raised his feet and pointed at them, and in loud voice he said, "Elvin Boots!"
Jack walked across the oil, each step he took; his feet didn't slip a bit.
"Not only do they stop me falling through weak platforms" said Jack as he climbed up the tank, watching Raimundo struggling with standing on his feet let alone walking, "They also give me good traction on slippery surfaces! You lose sucker!"
He reached the top of the tank and walked towards the emblem. He was about to reached out and grab hold of it, when someone called out from the trees.
"Hey guys! I see you've started the party without me!"
They all looked up towards the trees and saw someone speed towards them.
"Ryan?" said Kimiko as the person got closer to them. It was Ryan, he was charging through the forest, using the Jet Bootsu as a pair of jet powered skates to give him extra speed. He shot down the hill, leapt into the air and landed on one of the pipelines.
"I thought I shot you out of the air?" yelled Jack as he waved his fist at him.
"Well, what can I say?" said Ryan as dashed along the pipe and jumped onto the tank, "I die hard!"
They both shot towards the Emblem and grabbed it at the same time. As usual, the Emblem began to glow with a golden light.
"Ryan Young!" yelled Jack as he pointed a finger at him, "I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"
Who is Logan, the Dragon Tamer? Is he good or evil? Who will win the showdown? Will Jiggy ever stop bothering me? (Jiggy: No!) See you next chapter! R&R!
