A/N: I know I haven't updated in forever and I apologize. I got distracted with my bleach story. My ideas for this story are running on empty, so don't be surprised if I stop updating.
Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown.
Running. Running was all she had been doing. In the last few hours, a lot had happened. Kimiko, having left Wuya in search of her friends, had nearly died trying to get to them. She had reached Mount Hong where she knew they were, but Mala Mala Jong had already been there and had been walking back to Wuya. The rock monsters had the monks captured in their cage bellies. She had attempted to rescue them, but was overpowered. Now she was running back to Chase's palace.
Once there, Kimiko pulled out the shroud of shadows, which she forgot she had. She cloaked herself with it and snuck up to Wuya who was busy gloating and pushed her into the swirling vortex she opened that led to the prison cells. Still cloaked, she kicked the rock monsters stomachs opened so the others could get out.
"Hurry! We have to go!" Kimiko yelled uncloaking herself. The others looked surprised, but gave a short nod and ran.
"Wait!" Omi suddenly yelled. The others turned to look at him.
"Shouldn't we stay and fight?" He said.
"Omi, were too banged up to put up a decent fight" Clay said holding his side to prove a point.
"But if we escape they will come after us again. Shouldn't we just stay and at least try?" Omi said cocking his head to the side.
"I'm sorry young monk, but the others are right. We are not in any condition to battle" Master Fung said with Dojo wrapped around his neck. Omi gave a sigh of defeat and they continued running. Where they would go, nobody knew.
...
They had gotten pretty far from the palace thanks to Dojo. Just as they were starting to think they had a chance, Dojo let out a scream and spiraled downwards. Everyone screamed as the ground became closer and closer. Usually when this happened, Dojo would snap out of it and fly back up. But this time he wasn't going to, because he was unconscious. As they hit the ground, Kimiko couldn't help but think this was her fault. And then everything went black.
A/N: So pretty short chapter. I know. I have no idea when I'll update again, so keep checking. I'll try to keep going. Review please.
