A/N: Thank you for all the reviews on the last chapter I'm glad you enjoyed it. This chapter takes place during the episode Adrift (Season 2 Episode 6) with so much Jack could mess with, helping Bobby defeat the other new mutants in a snowball fight with an army of snowball chucking Jack-Bots, helping Kurt hack his image inducer, or being a part of the main plot, there was really only one choice I could make. And it's what many of you have been asking for.
It was a cold winter day the ground was covered with snow; Jack and Bobby were in Jack's room looking over a map of the Institute.
"Alright so I'll prepare the Snowball launching Jack-Bots here," Jack said marking several x's, "the new X-Drones will come out from here and here," he said putting two sets of o's on the map making a box with the x's, o's, and the mansion.
"Well what about-" Bobby began.
"I already gave Kurt a dollar to say 'you and what army,' so we have that set up," Jack said with a smile.
"Okay and after this snowball fight, we will rule the Institute with a frozen fist," Bobby exclaimed with a mock evil voice. They pulled their hands back to high five but stopped hearing a high pitched beeping sound. Jack pulled back his sleeve and shut off the beeping. "What was that about?" Jack didn't answer right away.
"I'm sorry Bobby I've got to take this," Jack said going over to his cabinet and taking out the Monkey Staff. "Listen there's a new piece of art up for grabs. Dashi's pieces always go fast so I'll have to call our little plan off."
"No worries I can win a snowball fight on my own, but why do you need that thing?" Jack didn't stumble he'd come up with a huge elaborate lie for the Xiaolin Showdowns which was pretty clost to the truth.
"Dashi makes people play for his art; you have to wager one of his old pieces in order to play."
"That's really weird," Bobby told him.
"What can I say Dashi's a weird dude," Jack said walking out smirking.
Jack slowly walked into Xavier's study,
"Hey Professor," Jack said getting the older man's attention.
"Yes Jack what is it?" Xavier asked spinning around to face him.
"You know how I told you about Dashi art, and how you suggested I go, well there's a new piece ready and waiting to be picked up."
"You want to go after it?" Xavier stated.
"Yeah I think I'm ready to go for it," Jack said with a slight smile.
"Do you need transportation?"
"Thanks but I've been working on a side project and I've got it covered."
Jack walked into the garage in his winter coat, he pulled a tarp off a small copper colored plane it had an elongated dome body and 3 ATV wheels, he'd made it mostly out of the trailer he brought with him.
"Well now or never," Jack said the top of the vehicle slowly opened up, Jack lied down inside the plane, it was the only way to get in and it was completely crampe, the top closed over him. The plane drove out of the garage, and drove halfway down the driveway before taking off. "The first flight of the Jack Spicer Jr. Jet," Jack said to himself with a smile.
Jack flew towards a massive snow storm shooting up from a mountain forest; it was only a few miles south of the institute. Jack flipped activated the planes auto pilot with a thought, then opened the bomb bay doors, which just dropped Jack out. Jack slowly descended using his Heli-Bot, and landed outside the forest, he checked Detecto-Bot wristband to see which way to go, and began hiking towards the source of the snow storm.
"I am most cold," Jack heard a familiar voice say after a while, Jack ducked behind a tree and looked to see the four teens marching through the snow. The one talking was Omi, a short yellow (like a lemon) skinned, large headed (like a basketball) bald boy.
"Dojo are you sure you can't fly us any closer," Raimundo the leader of the group asked a small snake like dragon wrapped in his scarf, Raimundo was a brown haired Brazilian teen.
"Sorry not in this weather the Trumpet of Tornami* just whips up too strong a storm," Dojo told him.
"The storm's getting worse so we have to be getting closer," Kimiko stated, Kimiko was a young Asian teen who right now had spiked up blue hair.
"I don't know what y'all are complainin' about I'm the one getting the worst of it," Clay, a tall muscular blond boy in a cowboy hat, stated as he walked in front of the others.
"The Xaiolin Warriors," Jack whispered to himself, "maybe I should go."
"Stop right there," came the strong southern draw of Hannibal Roy Bean, he was an actual talking, reddish brown, bean that wasn't even an inch tall. He was standing on Vlad's shoulder; Vlad was a tall muscular blond Russian boy. They were blocking the path of the Xiaolin Monks.
"Get out of the way bean dude," Raimundo ordered.
"Sorry to disappoint you but you're not getting this Wu either, Staff of Saiping*," Hannibal said holding a long wooden staff with vine carvings all over it. "Heylin Plant, take care of 'em." The Heylin Plant stretched between them and attacked the warriors.
"Gigi?" Jack whispered seeing the familiar evil plant, "why would Hannibal bring back that evil freak? And what's the Staff of Saiping, I swear you skip one showdown," Jack moaned pulling out his PDA, "Staff of Saiping, user can give consciousness to plants allowing the plants to move on their own, & making them slaves for the user. Wait that means, if Gigi turns the Monks into plants, Hannibal can control them and make them do his evil bidding!" Jack said in shock and horror, "that's genius. Now about the Trumpet of Tornami," Jack said typing on his PDA, "creates powerful freezing winds, cool, they don't need that Omi can do the same thing with the Orb of Tornami." Jack ran towards the storm as the Heylin plant battled with the Xiaolin Monks. Jack continued to run through the forest fighting against the blizzard, he stopped bumping into the giant red one eyed creature known as Cyclops.
"Why are you stopping?" Wuya the nearly powerless red haired Heylin witch demanded from the basket on Cyclops's back. Cyclops smiled at Jack, grumbled something dismissively then turned walking away from Jack. "No you one eyed idiot the Wu is that way," Wuya hissed. Jack shook it off and continued to run towards the Shen Gong Wu. Jack could barely see the blue horn through the snow even though it was only five feet away. Jack reached out and grabbed it and the snow stopped flowing out, Jack tried to pull it to him but someone pulled it back, soon the snow was clear and Jack could see Wuya and Vlad also holding on to it.
"Fantastic," Jack sighed, Wuya smirked.
"Jack and Vlad why not hand over the Wu now and save yourselves the embarrassment."
"I'm Jack Spicer I've lived in perpetual embarrassment, bring it on."
"Vlad challenges you both to a Xiaolin Trio and wagers Bean guys, Staff of Saiping."
"Fine I wager my Moonstone Locust," Wuya said with an even wider smirk.
"How did you get the Moonstone Locust?" Jack asked Wuya.
"Chase, Hannibal, PandaBubba, and I raided the Xiaolin Vault a month ago," Wuya told him.
"Vlad will email you who got what when he is done wiping the floor with you," Vlad promised him.
"Not gonna happen, and I just downloaded it from your phone to my PDA, I wager my Monkey Staff," Jack told them.
"The game is last man standing in the snow blind," Vlad told them, "last person who can still move is winner."
"Hmm, can I change my Wu to the Silk Spitter?" Wuya asked.
"No, you've already picked," Vlad told them both.
"Let's Go! Xiaolin Showdown!" all three shouted together.
When they did the entire landscape changed it flattened out into a long flat snow covered valley, surrounded by mountain ranges. All the Xiaolin Monks, were on an outcropping of the mountain range, Hannibal and Gigi were on another outcropping and Cyclops on another.
"Oh no," Kimiko said looking at her group, "if we're all here, Vlad and Wuya are the only ones fighting for the Wu." Cyclops grunted and pointed down at the three warriors on the battle field.
"Well I'll be Spicer's down there too," Clay said simply.
"Yes seems Jack has gone back to being evil," Omi folded his arms smirking under his mask, "as I knew he would."
"I'm not so sure," Raimundo stated.
"What are you wearing?" Wuya asked looking at Jack raising an eyebrow. Jack looked at himself and groaned realizing he was in his New Mutants uniform.
"Oh man, I don't even get a Heli-Bot in this thing," Jack whined.
"Gong Yi Tanpai!" Wuya and Vlad shouted, but Jack said it without much enthusiasm, as soon as they did another snow storm rolled in so they couldn't see anything more than two feet in front of them.
"Oh man I can't see a thing," Raimundo complained.
"My Master he calls me," the Heylin plant shouted before jumping on to the field of battle.
"He can't do that!" Omi complained.
"That idiot must be using MY Staff of Saiping!" Hannibal growled. "He can order any plants to do what he wants even during a showdown."
Jack and Vlad ran across the field as fast as they could, running from Wuya.
"Staff of Saiping!" Vlad called out, a root peaked up from the ground tripping Wuya.
"Monkey Staff!" Jack shouted turning into a half man-half monkey, gaining enhanced speed, strength, and agility. Jack continued to run off, until getting a far enough head start, he pulled his goggles down over his eyes, "time to test my new infrared setting." Jack saw two clear human heat signatures and a third weaker one, heading for Wuya.
"Bonjour Wuya," The Heylin Plant called coming into Wuya's line of sight.
"Bad choice plant boy," Wuya pulled out the Moonstone Locust, but before she could use it Jack jumped between them, grabbing the Moonstone Locust with his tail as he ran past. "Jack I will kill you!" Wuya shouted at the fleeing teen.
"Ho ho ho, what will you do now?" The Heylin Plant asked. Wuya growled as the Heylin Plant shot smoke at her turning her into a plant.
"I hate you so much," Wuya growled. Jack ran right to Vlad several yards away from Wuya and Gigi, Jack pushed up his goggles.
"Hello Jack," Vlad said spotting him, "even with your Monkey Staff you won't win," Vlad said with a smirk, Jack just smiled back at him.
"That might be true, Moonstone Locust!" Jack shouted launching the stone insects at Vlad's face. Vlad stumbled back swatting at the stone locust. The locusts dispersed and Vlad glared at Jack his face covered with tiny bites.
"That did not hurt," Vlad growled throwing a punch at Jack but he just jumped out of the way.
"It wasn't supposed to." The Heylin Plant snaked between them, Vlad smiled viciously, then paled as he looked for his Shen Gong Wu. Jack smirked, "looking for this?" Jack asked holding the, "Staff of Saiping! Gigi do your thing." The Heylin Plant stood over Vlad and blew out a cloud which turned Vlad into a plant. "That's game Vlad."
The world shifted back to how it was supposed to look and Jack was holding all the wagered Shen Gong Wu.
"Congratulations Master," The Heylin Plant said running up to Jack.
"Staff of Saiping! STOP!" Jack commanded the Heylin Plant froze in place. "I don't need a giant evil plant hovering over me." Jack pulled out the Moonstone Locust, "besides you were going for the Staff of Saiping."
"I wasn't! I swear it!" The Heylin Plant said defensively
"Speak only the truth," Jack commanded holding up the Staff of Saiping.
"I've been trying to steal the Staff of Saiping since Hannibal Bean revived me; I wanted to use it to give my plant brothers and sisters life so we could rule the world together." Jack shook his head and frowned.
"For what it's worth, I'd have done this even if you were willing to be my obedient slave, I really don't want an evil plant. Moonstone Locust!" Jack shouted releasing a sea of stone of locust destroying the Heylin plant until only a tiny seed was left; Jack caught the seed and flicked it at the Xiaolin Warriors. "Well this was fun, oh here for the next time that thing gets away," he said tossing the Moonstone Locust to Clay. "I'll keep the staff just to be safe," Jack said pulling out the Changing Chopsticks, "Changing Chopsticks," he said shrinking down the Wu and then put them all in his inside pocket.
"Why are you giving us back the seed?" Kimiko asked holding the seed in her hand.
"And the Moonstone Locust?" Raimundo added.
"I don't need 'em, and I don't want 'em," Jack said with a shrug.
"Jack you fool with the Heylin Seed and the Staff of Saiping you could have-"
"Shut it Wuya," Jack said cutting her off, "I don't want to hear it! You always said you could do better if you only had a body, well you do and I don't see any masses under your thumb."
"Well looks like a certain Evil Boy Genius, has invented himself a back bone," Hannibal said with a crooked smirk.
"Yeah so if you'll excuse me, I've got a plane to catch," Jack said flying into the air with his Heli-Bot, to catch his circling plane.
The Xiaolin Warriors headed back home on Dojo.
"Are you sure Jack Spicer gave us the genuine seed?" Omi asked Raimundo.
"I told you he did," Raimundo assured him.
"Anybody else notice Jack didn't use them electrical powers of his?" Clay asked everyone.
"Yeah Jack could have zapped them at any time but he didn't," Kimiko added.
"You do not know that we couldn't see," Omi pointed out.
"One of them balls of electricity would've still been real easy to spot," Clay countered.
"Maybe his powers really were just a trick," Raimundo said unsure.
"A big snow ball fight, Kurt hacked into his image inducer, and Scott and his brother almost died you go out for a few hours in this place you miss a lot," Jack commented as he put away his new Shen Gong Wu, speaking to Evan who was sitting in a chair in front of Jack's computer.
"To be fair the stuff with Scott and his brother didn't happen at the Institute," Evan pointed out.
"Alright true I'm just glad they're okay."
"Well at least you went out to get your art. I was stuck here watching TV all day," Evan said simply.
"It wasn't all that interesting," Jack lied.
"You flew there in a one man airplane you built," Evan pointed out, "sounds pretty cool to me."
"Alright that was pretty cool," Jack admitted.
