Unfortunately it was a good two hours before Harry made it back to the temple. And in that time, a lot had happened. Mala Mala Jong was already nearing the temple, and the other Dragons had fled with the Shen Gong Wu. Harry had no idea where the other dragons had gone. But wherever they went, it was safer then the temple at least. But he also knew that Master Fung would be less then pleased if he turned up at the temple in the middle of a battle. Though, this thought was brought on mostly by the fact that Master Fung would have had to order the other Dragons to get out. They wouldn't have left of their own free will. Well, Clay maybe, and Kimiko could be made to see sense, but Omi and Raimundo wouldn't have left for sure.

So Harry hung back where he would not be seen. Sticking to the shadows and hiding in places no one would expect him to be, even if he was supposed to be there. Seeing as Harry had no Idea where the other dragons had gone, so it was likely that neither did Master Fung.

'I will just hide out here and wait until something happens.' Harry decided. It was not like he was going to be of any help to the other Dragons. Though, he was well aware he stood no chance against Mala Mala Jong either.

Unfortunately, Harry didn't have to wait long for Wuya and her new pet to show up. It took every ounce of self control he had to not jump out and help Master Fung and the other's defend the temple. But he knew he'd just get yelled at for doing so. That was really the only thing that held him back. The Eye of Dashi was around his neck, he could have used it with his Elemental powers. It wouldn't have been much against a Demon Warrior, but he could have at least tried to help.

Harry was brought back to earth by Wuya's shriek of Fury. 'It looks like she has just found out that the vault is empty.' Harry snickered.

"Where are they?" Wuya snarled, flying over to Master Fung, Who was looking decidedly smug Harry noted.

"Not even I know." Master Fung stated.

'Huh, I did not know it was possible to be that smug. Master Fung has almost beaten Omi on the Smugness meter. I had no idea someone could come that close to beating Omi in that department.' Harry grinned. He then frowned. '. . . Wait a minute. . . What is wrong with me? I should not be joking in a situation like this!' Harry snapped at himself. He was wondering, just how he could be so calm in a situation like this. 'Oh that's right, because Omi isn't in danger and Wuya can't get the rest of the Shen Gong Wu as long as they stay far, far, FAR, away from the Temple.' Harry answered his own question. '. . . Oh great I'm talking to myself now. Dojo said that was a sure sign of insanity!' Harry face palmed, lost his balance, and fell out of his hiding spot rather ungracefully in plain view of anyone who was in the area.

Luckily, he somehow didn't attract any attention, as Raimundo had chosen that moment to appear wielding the sword of the storm. The Brazilian monk, quite bravely in Harry's opinion, challenged Mala Mala Jong. Harry was pretty surprised by this, but Raimundo did fairly well. Up until his weapon was stolen and he was captured. Harry figured it was now or never and jumped into the fray. "Thunder Strike, Lightning!" The blast burned the arm which was compromised of the Third arm sash and forced the Demon to release Raimundo before Wuya could get a word in edgewise.

Harry darted out grabbed Raimundo by the arm and dragged him out of the way of the enraged Demon Warriors Fist of Tebigong powered punch. "Hurry up! We have to get out of here!" Harry hissed.

"Where have you been?" Raimundo demanded as they ran. Both boys were aware that they were being chased, but didn't particularly care. Raimundo wanted answers and Harry wanted to live.

Harry rolled his eyes. "I told you where I was going before I left. I was at Jack's. Now pick up the pace! If we don't outrun that living Hunk of Shen Gong Wu we get killed remember?" Harry pointed out while dragging Raimundo around a corner.

Raimundo suddenly got an Idea. "Hey Hey, Listen to this. . ." Raimundo lowered his voice to a whisper and explained his idea.

Harry grinned almost like the Cheshire cat. "Brilliant! We really do not give you enough credit do we Raimundo?"

Raimundo smirked. "Nope, now come on!"

"Right on with the plan!" Harry grinned and held out the eye of Dashi as he stepped back around the corner in time to come face to face-well face to chest- with Mala Mala Jong. "Eye of Dashi, Lightning!" Harry declared. The resulting blast of lightning was enough to send the Demon warrior back into a wall, but not damage him. At best it dazed him for a few seconds.

Raimundo grinned and darted out, being the faster of the two he was able to get close to Mala while it was still dazed and snag its cape, otherwise known as The Shroud of Shadows and ran over to Harry. Raimundo waved it mockingly before swinging it so that it covered both him and Harry. They vanished and due to them now being invisible, it was suddenly much easier to escape the temple with their lives.

Raimundo lead Harry to the mountain cave the dragons were using as their hideout. Dojo greeted them with S'mores, not that Harry had the chance to eat any. Omi had tackled him as soon as he walked through the mouth of the cave.

Raimundo apologized for going back without the other Dragons. But they were more interested in hearing the story of how he retrieved the Shroud of Shadows, which the Dragons of Wind and Lightning were more than happy to tell them over some S'mores and a campfire.

Everyone knew that Wuya was going to be hunting them down. Everyone knew that when she found them they would need a game plan. Everyone knew that the odds were stacked against them in such a way that any normal person would simply give up. But they did not care. They sat around the campfire, ate S'mores, and pretended to be normal kids for one night. Tomorrow they would bring themselves back to reality. But tonight, tonight they were simply going to make the best of the situation.

Note!

I am so sorry for the long wait. I had a horrible mind block. And this chapter refused to let itself be written. But it's gone now and I hope this chapter was worth the wait. Somehow I doubt it was. Oh well.

Drop me a review if you can. I always appreciate it when you do.
