Chapter 8
Let's Go! Xiaolin Showdown: Tsunami!
(That same morning…)
"ALL RIGHT! LET'S GO CLAY, KIMIKO, OMI! TRAINING AND BREAKFEST! MOVE YOUR LAZY MONK BUTTS!"
Dojo yelled as he rang the gong down the Dragon's-in-training hallway.
Tired moans amplified past the doors. Dojo sighed.
"HELLO? YOU GUYS WANT ME TO GET RAIMUNDO IN HERE-"
And before Dojo even blinked, the three dragons were up and dressed.
"Ahaha! I would never do that… but at least it works."
Clay and Omi yawned.
Dojo's face contorted in disgust.
"Yeah…you two go brush your teeth…blegh!"
Clay chuckled tiredly.
"Well on some mornings Dojo…"
Clay let out a long exhausting yawn.
"We could say the same for you."
Kimiko giggled. "Yeah no kidding…."
She looked around.
"Hey where is Raimundo anyway? NOT that I care."
"Eh, he's already eaten breakfast, and he's outside sitting' on that tree branch of his." Dojo replied uninterested.
Omi and Clay came out of their rooms.
"Okay we are ready to begin the day with great breath mints of autumess!"
Dojo, Kimiko and Clay sweatdropped.
Omi looked at them.
"What?"
"Little partner, I had NO idea what you were trying to say."
"I said what I meant!"
"Yeah Omi, that's the problem." Kimiko smiled. "Come one let's go downstairs guys."
They ran downstairs, and sat down to eat.
Omi turned to Kimiko. Dojo frowned.
"What did I say wrong?"
"Meanwhile, back at the Temple, come on, get your butts moving! You have to- NYAHHGERUHKA!"
Dojo shuddered.
Raimundo ran in, with Master Fung walking beside him..
Dojo's eyes bugged out.
"WOAH! SHEN GONG WU ALERT!"
Master Fung opened the Shen Gong Wu scroll, as Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay, and Omi crowded him.
"What have we got?" Rai asked.
"The Spring of the Disguise. It lets the user transform into anything they want. Even inanimate objects. Everything changes with you what ever you want to be, but only for two hours."
"We can't let Jack and Wuya have that Shen Gong Wu!" Kimiko said, determined.
"You're right!" Raimundo said as he motioned everyone to follow him outside.
Dojo morphed into his 50-foot form. Raimundo jumped on, followed by Kimiko, Clay and Omi.
"Jack must be almost there by now! We're way behind schedule! Come guys lets go!"
Dojo looked over his shoulder.
"Everyone ready? Colorado Springs here we come!"
Dojo took off, and the warriors except Raimundo screamed. Holding on for their dear life.
"W-wow Dojo!" Kimiko strained.
"I have to give you your props for speed!" Clay said, his face started to feel numb.
"CLAY!"
Raimundo shouted over the wind.
"USE THE CHANGING CHOPSTICKS!"
"WHY?"
"IT'LL BE EASIER FOR DOJO TO GO FASTER!"
Clay narrowed his eyes.
"ARE YOU SAYING…THAT I'M FAT!"
Raimundo silently sniggered.
"NO! JUST DO IT!"
Clay sighed.
"CHANGING CHOPSTICKS!"
Clay shrunk down to the size of a grain of rice. Kimiko caught him before he blew away.
"HANG ON!"
The Xiaolin warriors sped off. Even with Dojo going at top speed, the trip still took 6 hours. The trip took the same time for Jack, and a third stranger.
(Finally at Colorado Springs
Six hours later)
Dojo and the gang landed near an abandoned tourist spring resort, twenty years past its prime, just barely touching the edges of the furthermost spring.
Dojo collapsed exhausted. He shrank back down to his normal size. He wheezed.
"H-Here w-we are k-k-kids….now f-find that Sh-sh-shen Gong Wu…."
"Changing Chopsticks!" Clay returned back to his original size.
Raimundo turned to Dojo.
"Can you give us any hints where this Shen Gong Wu might be?"
"N-no can do…I-I'm just gonna sleep n-now….zzzz"
Rai rolled his eyes.
"GREAAAT."
Kimiko scowled at him.
"Leave him alone Mundo. He flew…. A lot of miles, at top speed, for 6 hours. Give him a break!"
"Yeah Yeah…"
The four split up, looking for any signs of the Shen Gong Wu. Clay searched near the old tour guide house.
"No luck here…"
Kimiko searched around the train tracks and abandoned station.
"No luck here either…. What about you guys?"
Omi and Raimundo were looking around the old spring. Raimundo eyed the spring. Omi shook his head.
"No Kimiko. No spots of luck here."
"That's "No sign of luck here." Raimundo corrected, not even looking at Omi.
"That too..."
The three sighed sadly.
Kimiko picked up the tired Dojo.
"Poor Dojo. We shouldn't have pushed him so hard…"
"Poor guy tried his best. I guess this Shen Gong Wu goes to Jack…"
"…Not…entirely…." Raimundo spoke up, still not taking his eyes of the spring.
"What do you mean by that Mundo?" Clay wondered.
'Just what has that dirty snake up to now?'
"Watch…"
"HAA!"
Raimundo jumped up and kicked the spring's lone stone pillar.
At first nothing.
Then the spring's appearance faltered, and subsequently the whole spring disappeared. The warriors in-training gasped.
"Raimundo what happened!" Omi asked, surprised.
Raimundo bent down and picked up something, then turned around.
"I found the Spring of Disguise Shen Gong Wu, that's what happened!"
He smirked.
"Yeah, and thanks for finding it for me, LOSER!"
"Jack Spicer!" Kimiko yelled.
"That's right baby! Now Check it out! ORB OF TORNAMI!"
Water gushed out of the orb, and everyone jumped on top of the trees. As Raimundo jumped up, an odd throwing star hit his hand, causing him to the Spring. He quietly cursed.
Nine dots on Omi's forehead glowed.
"WATER!"
The water diverted and the revealed the Spring of the Disguise.
In unison, Jack, Raimundo, and Omi called: "I GOT IT!"
The rushed forward, and piled their hands on top of it.
'Dojo told me this once time before…'
"Jack Spicer! Me and Raimundo challenge you to a Showdown Trio!"
"Hey no fair! That's cheating!"
Then they heard something or someone hissing.
"Meoow, excuse me!"
Jack's expression fell.
"Oh no…"
Omi looked down, and noticed, a fourth hand.
Kimiko gasped. "Katnappe'!"
'Why they heck did she come back?' Were the thoughts of them all.
Omi furrowed his brow.
'Umm what was it when there was four?'
Raimundo groaned, annoyed.
"Okay okay, let's get this over with already! Jack, Katnappe', Me and Omi challenge you to a Xiaolin Tsunami! My Sword of the Storm, and Omi's Mantis Flip Coin, against your Jet Bootsu, and Katnappe's Tangle Web Comb!"
Omi was dumbfounded.
'How did HE KNOW THAT!'
"What? I don't want to lend her my Tangle Web Comb!"
She hissed.
"Too bad, Robofreak!"
"The showdown, who ever finds the Spring of the Disguise first wins, but if anyone touches the ground, they're out!"
"Alright!" Omi agreed.
"Sounds good to me." Katnappe' approved.
"But-but I never agreed to have her on my side!" Jack whined.
They all shouted. "TOO BAD!"
Jack frowned.
"FINE. I agree." Jack said a little bit irritated.
"Okay, Let's Go," Raimundo started off.
"XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" They shouted.
FLASH!
The Xiaolin Dragons changed into their Xiaolin Robes.
The everything grew taller.
The trees, the train station and tracks, and the tour guide house.
The trees where Kimiko, and Jack's robots circled around everything else, leave Omi, Raimundo, Jack and Katnappe' in the middle.
Clay looked down.
"Wooowhee. It's a long drop from here. Omi better be careful."
Kimiko looked down as well.
"I can barely see them! Where are they!"
"We'll just have to wait Kimi."
"GONG YI TAN PAI!"
"Omi! You search low, and I'll search high!"
"But-"
"SWORD OF THE STORM!"
Raimundo let himself become weightless and let the Sword carry him. Omi shrugged.
"MANTIS FLIP COIN!"
Omi jumped down onto a low branch and continued from there.
Jack turned to Katnappe'.
"Okay if we are going to be working together, I SUGGEST that we do the same thing! You get Baldy, I got Raimundo."
"Whatever. TANGLE WEB COMB!"
Katnappe' grabbed a lower branch, and did the same as Omi.
Jack jumped into the air.
"JET BOOTSU!"
He flew through the branches, trying not to hit any of them.
"COME ON OMI! WIN THIS SHOWDOWN!"
Kimiko called from above the treetops.
"I hope he can here me."
Clay nodded.
"Come on sir. Raise the roof. You are amazing." Jack's robots "cheered".
Clay and Kimiko frowned.
"How lame can this guy get?"
-
'Come on, come on, where are you?'
Raimundo thought impatiently. Dodging the branches, and train tracks from time to time.
Jack sniggered. And took out some sort of ray gun.
"LOSER! You're no match for, "Jack Spicer's, Evil boy Genius STUN GUN!"
Rai's eyes widened.
Raimundo dodged two shots.
"Hey hey! Stupid Spicer!"
"I'm not stupid! TAKE THIS!"
Jack fired numerous shots at Raimundo. Rai landed on a branch and faced Jack.
"Ohhhh, you wished you have never done that! SWORD OF THE STORM!"
Mundo, deflected the stun shots, and flung them back at Jack.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Jack froze in midair.
"C-can't m-move!"
"Hit the road Jack! Or as I should say, Hit the ground!"
"Not FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY!" Jack hit the ground with a THUD! And got transported next to Kimiko and Clay.
"THAT WAS SO CHEEP!"
"Whatever Jack. You're out of the game." Kimiko remarked.
"MANTIS FLIP COIN!"
Omi jumped from branch to branch, looking for the Spring.
"Ohh Shen Gong Wu, where are you?"
"GOTCHA!" Katnappe' jumped Omi and they both pummeled towards the ground.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH! LET ME GO! LET. ME. GOOO!" Omi struggled to get out of her grasp, but Katnappe's hold on Omi just got tighter.
"Ha! Not a chance!"
"Why are you trying to lose when trying to make ME lose?"
"Who's says I'm gonna lose?"
Omi looked down. No branches he could recoil off of, they were going way to fast. Omi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, as Katnappe' kicked him down as she let go.
"TANGLE WEB COMB!"
She shot the extensions directly over her. It wrapped around a branch and pulled her to safety. Omi…wasn't so lucky.
Omi also hit the ground with a THUD! And got transported next to Kimiko and Clay.
"Ohhh..I lost." Omi said, sullen.
"Aw, it's okay Omi. I guess Mundo will win it." Kimiko embraced Omi with a hug. Omi smiled.
"Thank you Kimiko."
"HEY KITTY LITTER! FIND THAT SHEN GONG WUU!"
Raimundo landed on the ascended rail road tracks. He looked around.
'If I were a Shen Gong Wu that could transform into ANYTHING, what would I be?'
He thought insightfully.
He closed his eyes for a moment. He remembered seeing water near the old resort. Underneath the Spring of the Disguise….
Where would it be?
The ground? The trees? The water? Too many choices and not enough time….
Raimundo's eyes snapped open.
"TANGLE WEB COMB!"
Raimundo dodged the extensions of hair, and jumped down onto a branch. Katnappe' followed.
Katnappe' shot two more hair extensions at Raimundo, when he turned around suddenly.
"HEY KATNAPPE', I THINK YOU'RE EVEN UGLIER THAN JACK!"
"Uh, WHAT! How dare you- eeik!"
The hair extensions turned around and constricted Katnappe' instead of Raimundo, by making her lose her focus. Raimundo smirked and continued looking for the Spring.
Katnappe' lost her balance and started to fall towards the ground.
'EEEE! That stupid loser! What do I do? What do I DO?"
Katnappe' pressed a button on her weapon holder on her wrist, and broke free. She grabbed a branch and used the Tangle Web Comb to get back on the higher branches.
She landed in front of Raimundo, who skidded to a stop.
"Ha! How do you like me now?"
"Not much." He smirked again.
Katnappe' hissed.
Raimundo unexpectedly took the Sword out of affect, and freefalled. Everyone's eyes bugged out
"RAIMUNDO! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?" Kimiko shrieked.
"KIMIKO! Tone down! You're gonna kill meh ears!" Clay remarked painfully.
Raimundo dove head first.
Getting and closer and closer to the ground. Not to the ground, to the water.
Raimundo unsheathed the Sword and held it out in front of him.
"SWORD OF THE STORM!"
He slashed it in the direction, firmly in front of him, causing instead of water, but earth to shatter everywhere from impact.
The falling gravel ceased, revealing Raimundo to be standing...on the ground.
"HA! I win Xiaolin LOSER!"
"Look closer Cat FREAK."
Katnappe' looked closely, and realized that he was holding…the Spring of the Disguise!
"NOOOO!" Jack cried.
The environment reverted back to normal
Kimiko, Clay, and Omi stood there amazed.
"Wow…that was …..smart.." Kimiko admitted shamefully.
"Yeah. We have to give him his props for that." Clay confessed.
"I feel so ashamed not believing Raimundo." Omi said sadly.
"HEY! KATNAPPE' DO ME A FAVOR AND TAKE ME HOME! I can't move…"
"Ech, Whatever!"
Katnappe' picked Jack up and hopped in his Jet Bot, and drove off.
Raimundo landed in front of them, holding the Jet Bootsu, Tangle Web Comb, Mantis Flip Coin, Sword of The Storm, and the newly acquired Spring of the Disguise.
Raimundo grinned.
"How do you like me now?"
Kimiko crossed her arms. "Better. But not completely."
"Eh, what can I say." He shrugged.
'What the heck did that mean?'
"I said you did pretty good there. How did you figure out where it would be?"
Kimiko gasped. "Dojo!"
"When did you decide to join us, little dragon partner?"
"Ehhhh…15 minutes ago. Thanks for letting me nap. So tell us, how'd you find it?"
"I'll tell you guys when we get back at the temple."
"Sounds good to me."
"Same here!"
"Oh yes! That sounds most inviting!"
"Alright! Let's go home! Hop on!"
Omi and Rai hopped on, Kimiko sat behind Clay. She whispered too him.
"He's still not off the hook."
"I hear you there."
The Xiaolin Dragons came home with good news. However Jack wasn't so lucky.
"YOU STUPID BOY! HOW COULD YOU LOSE THIS ONE! NOW YOU COST US THREE SHEN GONG WU!"
"HEY STOP YELLING! I'm tired…"
"ARRRRGHH You give me an astral headache boy. Wake me up tomorrow afternoon. Ugh…insolent fool."
Wuya floated upstairs.
Jack crossed his arms.
"She's always so meaan to me." Jack whined.
"Jeez, who did she see when she woke up to put her in a bad mood?" Katnappe' purred as she came in through Jack's basement window.
Jack mumbled.
"Herself…"
Jack's eyes widened.
"HEY! Who said you could come in here?"
"I'm just gonna crash here for the night."
"Yeah? Said who?"
"Said Me."
"IN YOUR DREAMS!"
Katnappe' glared Jack right in the eyes.
"Now you're gonna let me stay here…or else…"
"Or else what?"
"I..W.I.L.L…N.E.U.T.E.R…Y.O.U."
Jack shrieked.
"Okay OKAY! You can stay! There's an extra r-room on the first floor." Jack shuddered.
Katnappe' laughed.
"HA! You are sooo gullible!"
Jack's eyes snapped open. He turned to his Jack-Bot. "Did she just- Did I just-Did she-I-?"
"Yes Sir."
"AWWW MAN!"
