Wishing for a Soul

Chapter 7

"Dojo! Calm down!" Clay said, fanning the hyperventilating green dragon with his hat. Dojo was sweating, clutching his chest, and his eyes were bugging out of his head.

"IS this Wu really that powerful?" Raimundo asked, looking at the little guy.

Dojo squeaked back, "ARE YOU KIDDING!" He began slithering in circles and he continued squeaking, "THIS WU COULD KILL ME! OF COURSE IT'S POWERFUL!"

"What does this Wu do, Dojo?" Omi asked, taking the scroll.

Dojo informed everyone, raving with frantic hand motions, "This Wu is the Dragon's collar! If put on a dragon, it can get them to do anything and everything the one who put it there wants! EVEN TAKE THEIR OWN LIFE!"

Dojo was squealing and sobbing desperately. Kimiko patted his head and comforted him.

"Guys, he's too freaked to fly… We'd better use the Manta…" she said, stroking little Dojo's quickly rising and falling back. Everyone agreed and they all flew off to get the Wu.

When they reached an extremely rocky and uneven mountainous area, the monks found that Jack was already there, as was Wuya and Chase. And two seconds after they got there, Hannibal showed up. And right after he got there, Katnappe, Tubbimura, and Panda Bubba showed up.

Everyone knew what this Wu did, and apparently they all wanted to be able to control Dojo. Said dragon sobbed and hid in Kimiko's purse when everyone's eyes glimmered upon seeing him arrive.

"DON'T LET THEM GET MEEE!" he begged Kimiko.

Kimiko patted the side of the purse and she said, "Don't worry Doj, I won't let them touch you…"

Dojo sobbed about how she was the most wonderful person in the world for a good long while.

Hannibal somehow had gotten the Moby Morpher again; probably stole it when he paid that visit, and he was huge. He grinned devilishly at Kimiko; she took up a fighting stance upon noticing his attention wasn't directed toward Chase.

"Nice t' see ya' agin Dragon…" he snickered darkly.

Kimiko cocked her head upwards just a little and she asked, "Why're you after this Wu? You want to control Dojo too?"

Hannibal laughed. Everyone was listening in on the conversation now; nobody had moved because any move would be shot down.

"You honestly think it meant just a literal dragon?" He asked, chuckling to himself. "No, that Wu can allow the user to control Xiaolin Dragons and Cursed Dragons too…" he informed everyone there.

All the evil villains turned their attention to the monks; the monks all turned their attention to Chase. So this Wu made each of them vulnerable? Chase was technically a dragon, which made sense, but now they were possible victims too? Oh, this was BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD….!

Kimiko inhaled deeply and closed her eyes. She let every sense fade until she was merely feeling for everyone's heat signature. The hottest person in the area was herself, understandable as she was the Dragon of Fire. Second to her… Dojo… Then Chase… Then Tubbimura and Panda Bubba… Then Hannibal… Clay… Raimundo… Omi… Their heat signatures were all very separate and she could tell who each belonged to quickly.

Kimiko felt for other heat besides just theirs. The Shen Gong Wu gave off heat signatures too! Useful. Very useful…

Kimiko felt the Star Hannabi… The Eye of Dashi… The Orb of Tornami… (Incredibly cold) She felt someone had the Serpent's Tail… (Probably Chase.) She felt the Ruby of Ramses. She could distinctly feel the Shroud of Shadows; its signature kept shifting and waving. But then… Off, far off behind her, a little to her right… Another Wu… It felt warm… And it felt like it had a heartbeat..!

Kimiko's eyes shot open and she flipped backwards and immediately began sprinting towards the Wu she sensed. Everyone dashed after her; not wanting even Kimiko's guess to be correct.

Kimiko was so close, she could feel it! But… Heat was catching up on her quickly. Who was it? That signature… D'aw crap! Chase was catching up with her! And FAST!

Kimiko slid down the side of a rocky hill, grabbed a strange collar looking object, and began running again.

Everyone saw that she had something in her hands now, and they weren't going to let her get away with it.

Kimiko was running, and running, and then…!

YAY!

Suspense!

And now I shall wait to update for at least five hours…! XP YOU ALL GO DIE!
