So here's chapter 7. I am seriously running out of things to type here.

Thanks for everyone who has read the story this far, and an additional thanks to anyone who has left a review.

DISCLAIMER: I only own made up Shen Gong Wu and attacks, nothing else.


"The Moon Rabbit Amulet gives the user incredible luck, both in and out of battle, making it good for gambling, which you kids aren't old enough for, so don't even try it." Dojo explained. The bright lights dazzled in the night sky, preventing any stars from being visible.

"People crying, the smell of shame, the blinding lights, yep, this is Vegas." Dojo reminisced. The monks began searching the formidable city for the new Wu.


"You know Wuya; some people blow all their money in this town." Jack said.

"Yeah, but you just blow it on robot parts." Wuya retorted, which received a 'nyeh' from Jack.


"So how do we find a rabbit necklace in Las Vegas?" Raimundo asked.

"Think about it. The amulet gives you luck, and where in Las Vegas do people need luck, the casino." Kimiko told him

"Ay, there are dozens of casinos in this city."

"Yeah," Clay interrupted, "And the fact that none of us are old enough to get into one of them casinos."

"Clay is most right; we have hit a live stop." Silence was the response to Omi's statement.

"I reckon the little fella means 'dead end.'" Clay reasoned.

"Actually no," Raimundo responded, "Because we've got this here Wu."

Raimundo pulled out the Shroud of Shadows and held it in front of him.

"And," Kimiko added, "We've got this too."

She pulled out the Moby Morpher.

"I think I get what y'all are suggestin'. One of us uses the Moby Morpher to appear older, and the rest of us sneak in with the Shroud o' Shadows."

"That is most brilliant."

"Well you better hurry; I'm getting that feeling I get when Wuya is around. That, or it's heartburn." Dojo moaned.


The monks went to the first casino they could find and executed their plan.

"Moby Morpher!"

Kimiko changed her appearance to that of a woman in her late twenties and was let in without any hassle. The three male monks held onto the shroud.

"Shroud of Shadows." They called out simultaneously. The three were now invisible and snuck into the casino with ease.


"My friends, look in that corner over there." Omi whispered as he pointed to the ceiling. The Moon Rabbit Amulet dangled from a small golden hook, which had a faint glow of rainbow due to the many flashing lights of the variety of games. The monks timed their approach carefully, making sure not to slam into any of the unknowing gamblers. The casino-goers went into a frenzy as part of a machine was struck with a green fireball. The monks turned to see Jack and Wuya standing in the doorway.

"Everyone OUT" Jack commanded. The casino crowd continued to panic, not listening to his instruction. Wuya shook her head with a sigh before throwing another ball of green fire at a machine. The group turned to look at Wuya.

"Go, NOW" She shouted. The group chaotically piled out the doors.

The group of three pulled of the shroud, revealing themselves.

"Jack and Wuya, prepare for a most humiliating defeat!" Omi warned.

"You know how overused that line is?," Jack taunted, "It's beginning to lose its affect."

"Then maybe I will just humiliate you with my fist."

Omi jumped at Jack, but was hit by a Jack Bot that had seemingly come from nowhere. Omi looked up to see Katnappe jump out of a Golden Tiger Claws portal, a small bag of Shen Gong Wu in her paws.

"This is all I could grab before they chased me away." She said, dividing the Wu evenly between her, Wuya and Jack.

"Pfft, you were only able to do it because the monks were there."

"Well it still doesn't change the fact that I brought you some Wu, Spicer."

"Whatever."

"Stop bickering like children and take down the monks."

"Omi, Clay, distract them, I'll get the Wu." Raimundo ordered.

"He's going for the Moon Rabbit Amulet, STOP HIM!" Wuya dictated.

Katnappe swiped the claws in front of her and jumped in. As Raimundo went to reach for the Wu, the portal opened. He lunged for it, and he and Katnappe both grabbed it.

"Katnappe, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. I wager my Shroud of Shadows for your Artemis Bracer."

"Alright, but let's mix things up. A Shen Yi Bu Dare, my Silk Spitter for your Tangle Web Comb."

"Unlike Clay, I will hit a girl. A good old fashion fist fight, first one down loses. And also, we play in front of a giant slot machine, and when it lands on a jackpot, we switch Wu. Let's go."

"Xiaolin Showdown!"

The casino soon became much more massive than before. A slot machine the size of a small skyscraper towered over them. Wuya, Jack, Omi, Clay, and Kimiko, who had just arrived, stood at the top, overlooking the showdown.

"GONG-YI-TAN PAI!"

"Shroud of Shadows!"

"Oh come on, that's so cheap, how is she supposed to hit what she can't see?" Jack protested.

"Simple, by his scent." Katnappe replied as she sniffed the air. She soon found him, and extended an arm.

"Artemis Bracer!"

An arrow fired out of the accessory and sailed towards Raimundo. It hit the shroud and pulled it off of him, pinning it to the slot machine. Raimundo growled and flipped out of the way of a few more arrows.

"Tangle Web Comb!"

The hair like coils flew towards Katnappe, but she was ready.

"Silk Spitter!"

The thread hit the tendrils and they were soon stuck to the floor. Above, the machine lit up and rang, and three sevens showed on the screen. The Tangle Web Comb and Artemis Bracer were swapped for one another.

"Silk Spitter!"

The sticky web hit Raimundo, and he was soon stuck to the machine next to the Shroud. He squirmed, but was unable to break free of the silk.

"Come on, Rai, you can break free." Kimiko cheered.

"Yes Raimundo, just think, 'How would Omi break free?'"

"C'mon buddy, use your element."

Element, that was it. The wind began to pick up around Raimundo. It began to swirl around his hands, gathering in his palms. He broke free of the web on the wall, but Katnappe had made a large web, which was sailing towards him. He flung both arms to his right, and pointed them at the ground.

Shoku Wind SABER!" He slashed diagonally up, and then down, and the web was destroyed. He flew towards Katnappe, but she was ready.

"Tangle Web Comb!"

The hairy cords flew towards Raimundo, who was unable to dodge them in time. He fell to the ground, trapped.

The showdown ended and Katnappe stood next to Jack and Wuya, five Wu in hand.

"Why can't you be more like her?"

"I could totally win a Showdown."

"Sure you could." Wuya's voice dripped with sarcasm.

"If I recall correctly, Wuya, your last showdown against Raimundo ended in defeat, did it not?" Jack stuck back.

"Well, yes, but…" She tried to come up with an excuse.

"Mhmm."

The three members of evil left in a flash of fire.

"Can't believe it. I lost, to the crazy cat lady."

"Oh it ain't yer fault, Rai."

"Yeah, nobody was expecting her to have any of our Wu."

"Kimiko and Clay are right, nobody expected you to fail in the manner that you did."

Omi's banter struck a nerve, and Raimundo stood up, his back facing the other monks.

"Don't mind Omi, his big head has an equally big mouth." Kimiko tried to make him feel better.

"No, Omi is right, I did fail. Even I believe that I failed."

The air in the room became tense. Clay shifted his hat awkwardly, Kimiko fixed her dress, and Omi scratched his nose.

"Uh, kids?" Dojo broke the silence. The four didn't bother to look at him, but he continued to speak regardless.

"Maybe it's time we head back to the temple, you're probably all exhausted."

The five of them left the "entertainment capital of the world", and flew back to the place they called home.


"Most impressive work, Katnappe." Chase said matter-of-factly. Jack and Wuya both stood with their arms crossed behind Katnappe.

"It was nothing, really. Any idiot could sneak into the temple when those monks aren't there, it takes someone like me to do it with a degree of grace, skill, and stealth, all three categories that Jack severely lacks in. And as for Wuya, she has the skill, but one out of three is not very good, if you ask me anyway." Katnappe chattered. Both Jack and Wuya glared at the cat girl, who was oblivious of the other twos' hatred.

"Hey, Jack, can I speak to you over there?"

"Why, are you going to steal my lunch money?"

"No, you fool, just come with me."

Wuya and Jack walked over to the corner, a far enough distance away from the reptile and the cat for them not to hear.

"What say you and me teach this girl a lesson?"

"Why would you want to do that? I thought you liked how she operated."
"Well, I do, but she's an attention hog, and she's arrogant. I hate both of those qualities, especially when they're in the same person."

"I'm in. I hate her too, stupid Ashley. But, uh, what did you have in mind?"

"Well, you didn't hear this from me, but how about we…"


Raimundo didn't even bother to return the greeting Master Fung had given the monks, he just stormed past him.

"Oh dear." Master Fung said in response.

"Rai's upset because he lost five Wu to Katnappe."

"The, uh, cat girl?"

"Yes."

"Just checking. Raimundo has a lot of pressure to deal with as part of his responsibility as leader. No one can help him deal with it but himself."

But it was aw'fly weird. I mean, Rai doesn't usually admit to his mistakes, not right away, anyway. But this time was different. It's sorta like he felt like he didn't put up a fight."

"Yeah, Omi said that no one expected him to fail like he did, and Rai didn't even argue with him."

Master Fung took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He turned to face the direction that Raimundo walked off in, and then turned back to Kimiko and Clay.

"Raimundo is questioning his abilities, or at least that is what appears to be happening. We must let him work through this situation without our help."

"But how can we just sit back and watch him suffer?"

"Kimiko, if Raimundo is going to recover, he has to fully believe in himself, and he will only be able to accomplish that on his own."

Kimiko shook her head sadly. Clay wrapped a friendly arm around her shoulder.

"It'll be alright, Kim. Rai just needs sum time to work all this over. Now let's got rustle up some grub, I'm starvin'" Clay tried to lighten the mood. He and Kimiko walked off to the kitchen to make something to eat.


Chase was currently being dragged by Wuya and Jack to somewhere that was unknown to him. He had been woken up by being shaken frantically, and then was dragged against his will. When they finally stopped, Wuya opened a door that was in front of him.

"Do you see what I see? Katnappe with the Sphere of Yun." She shouted.

"Yeah, she's probably planning to trap you and take your powers like I did that one time."

Katnappe was now sitting up, she rubbed her eyes.

"What's going on?"

"You, my feline "friend", were just about to leave." Chase informed her.

"What?, Why?" She questioned.

Without explanation, Katnappe was lifted up by Chase, who promptly and swiftly carried her to the door and threw her out it. She landed outside with a thud, scratched the back of her head and yawned. She walked off, determined to find a way home so she could go back to sleep.


So there you have it. I'm not sure what else to say here but tell me what you think, and leave a nice review.
