The lights came back on, allowing everyone to get a first full glimpse of Matt, or what was now him. He was a ghost and looked exactly like Wuya, except he was slightly bigger and had a darker color shade to his body. Jack said nervously "No not 2 of them now, at least he looks and reminds me of my Wuya-Bots." His voice was the same as his human has he said "HA, good job Raimondo. You got me instead."
His eyes began to glow "I'm feeling my powers in me. Oh well, time to get the Crystal Glasses." He glided over to his pistol and helmet laying on the floor beside him. Dojo appeared in front of him "Maybe you haven't noticed yet but your a ghost. You can't touch anything physical or activate Shen Gong Wu. You've lost Matt." but before he could continue a pair of arms grabbed and slung him across the court. Matt wasn't an ordinary ghost, he could physically touch people and objects. He laughed, slipped on the helmet and cocked his pistol, which was now bigger to him. There was a problem, where was the Sands of Time thought the warriors before Wuya said "Oh Matt, you might need the Sands of Time."
Matt replied "Well thats the power I felt, not only did every Shen Gong Wu I had on me go into the puzzle box but also became a part of me. Not only the Sands of Time, but the Moby Morpher and Kuzusu Atom as well. Oh this is gonna be great. I thank you Raimondo, now I don't have to worry being shot and using the Moby Morpher now in the past."
Wuya was starting to wonder about the event that "decide the fate of world" Matt talked to her about. Matt glided over to Wuya, wrapping his ghostly arm around her and saying "Remember that super villian my grandfather fought. Well your about to see them and the fight of their lives. Let this be a history lesson from your 1500 year absence Wuya and to everyone else here." he glided to the bleachers and got the Map of Whendever and Horde of Haiku, which the Xiaolin neglected to see. Then Matt darted to the center of the court and yelled "Sands of Time" followed by a sphere like thing engulfing him then a blinding flash. Everyone looked at the sphere, they could see the past through it. Matt was using his helmet recorder to show the past to everyone in the gym, but why was he doing that for.
Matt appeared to be on top of a moving train, surrounded by rolling hills and pastures. He began to glide to the front of the train when everyone in the gym started to laugh. Wuya was embarrassed by the fact that this didn't look like a world changing event, but that was about to change. Matt said "Looks can be tricky people." then looked down to see a large red flag with a sickle and hammer crossing in the corner, the flag of the former Soviet Union. He darted up front to see large AA train platforms and cars locked and cramed full of soldiers. The warriors began to hear people gasping and Dojo yelled "Matt where you".
Matt apparently heard Dojo as he yelled "Map of Whendever."
A map of the world appeared in front of Matt, clearly seen through the sphere, and zeroed in on Europe. Countries began to outline and take shape and soon was complete. Matt said "September 1942, Europe lies crushed and besiege by the German army." The country of Germany turned red and began to spread outwards engulfing Europe rapidly. Matt continued "Germany begins to drive into the heart of Russia with rapid pace." the red began to drive into Russia and zoom in on a city near a large river "Only one obstacle was left standing for Germany. A city on the Volga river where the fate of the world would be decided..." and was cut off by an explosion of deafing sound. He looked up to see a city across a large river in flames and ruins. He finally said "Stalingrad"
The train stopped in front of dock filled with large boats. Soldiers began to exit the train and run towards the boats. A Soviet tank convey was coming from his left towards a freighter, but the lead tank exploded right on the docks. Matt flew over heard, hearing someone saying "By the orders of our glorious Comrade Stalin, Not one step backwards" and began the journey across the Volga among the boats. Artillery began to spray water around Matt as they fired onto the boats crossing the river. A round found its mark ahead as a boat was blow to pieces, along with the Soviets on board. Matt, halfway across, heard a high pitched noise. He looked up to see German Stuka dive bombers making a stafing run, machine guns rattling. A boat next to him was ripped to shreds by the hail of bullets, sending many Soviet soldiers over the side into the freezing water. The bombers also released their bombs, taking a majority of the Soviets. One bomber made another pass at a boat in front of Matt. A Soviet officer fired his sub-machine gun at the plane, but another hail of bullets tore into the boat. Panicking soldiers began to jump over board everywhere, then suddenly shots were being fired. People in the gym began to cry along with Dojo at the horror they just saw. Wuya's jaw dropped at the scene, she had least excepted what had just happened. Soviet officers had just killed their own men cause they thought their men were cowards, "Not one step backwards" meant no retreat and cowards.
Matt and the remaining Soviets soon reached the Stalingrad docks, which were crowded with civilians and wounded trying to escape the battle. Matt flew into the ruined city, only seeing an occasional Soviet soldiers, but no fighting was seen. An eerie silence and Matt being completely alone in the area sent a chill down everyone's spine, where was everyone at. Matt rounded a corner to come upon a large street square with a statue of Joseph Stalin in the middle and laying againest the statue base were the Crystal Glasses. Breaking the silence and uncertainty, Wuya yelled "The Crystal Glasses, get it before those Russians do."
However Matt didn't go towards the Shen Gong Wu, not even moving at all. Chase said "Come on already." but they soon seen why he wasn't moving. Several large tanks were aiming his way from across the square and a hundred Soviets were gathered below him, weapons ready to charge. A whistle blew and the Soviets charged at the tanks, which opened fired immediately along with several gun enplacements in the rubble. The Soviets began falling to the fire and soon were nearly wiped out. Matt decided to get the Crystal Glasses then, but waited to late. At least a hundred men from the other side emerged and soon were all over the square, chasing away the Soviets. The soldiers were wearing a grey uniform and helmet and carried a small sub-machine gun, they were German soldiers. Matt, trying not to be seen, noticed the Shen Gong Wu was missing and seen a German holding it on a tank moving deeper into the city. Matt muttered to himself "Oh man this is not good, not good one bit. The Germans have the Crystal Glasses and if activated they will see their defeat by Russian snipers and encirclement then...I have no choice but to go and get it from the German Commander. Wuya, looks like you'll be seeing the villian more than I expected." Then he followed the tank from a distance.
Soon he arrived at another large square, which was crawling with German soldiers and tanks. He made his way into the German HQ across the street and founded his target. A platoon a Germans were listening to the Commander review his plans but they were speaking in German and no one could understand them. Matt whispered "Horde of Haiku", translating the language. The Commander yelled "The Third Reich and the Furher will rule the world. First we take Stalingrad and Russia, join up with Japan in China, then defeat Britain and America. What have you guys found out from the Soviets."
A young soldier stepped forward saying "Another Soviet attack defeated sir, and we found this which we suspect to be a great weapon" laying the Crystal Glasses on the table.
The Commander looked puzzled and finally said "What are we gonna do out style Stalin, this is useless you bafoons."
Matt had to reveal his self to get the Wu and worked his way behind the Commander, still fussing at the soldiers. He shot right through the Commanders body and turned to see a frightened look on the Germans face. The Commander yelped and said "Scary ghost thing, Fire!" A hail of gun fire passed through Matts ghostly form, having no effect. Matt said "I believe those glasses belongs to me. Anyone have a problem?"
A German soldier charged at Matt, who grabbed the soldier and threw him across the room smashing into a wall. Matt said lieing "Oh yeah Germany wins the war, so follow your current plans." grabbed the Crystal Glasses and flew outside to travel back to 2009.
Germans were firing at him everywhere and Matt fired back with his pistol, hitting a German and sending others to cover. A Panzer tank fired a round at him, which stunned him even though he was a ghost. The tank contunied to fire and threatened the Crystal Glasses safety. Matt yelled "Kuzusu Atom" followed by a beam of energy from his right hand, vaporizing the Panzer and everyone in or near it. German snipers lined the building tops and one was popping rounds through Matt constantly. Matt was out of ammo for his pistol by this time and picked up an MP40 from a dead soldier and shot at the sniper. The automatic rounds pounded the area around the sniper and Matt seen him grab his gut and fall off the building, screaming and falling 5 stories to a thud.
The killing of Germans wouldn't effect the future, Matt had learned that only 5,000 German 6th Army members survived the battle and prison camps, released in 1955. Matt had to return to 2009, it was only a matter of time before a lucky bullet shattered the Crystal Glasses and him and Wuya's chance of ruling the world. Knowing that someone could possibly follow him, Matt yelled "Sands of Time" and within seconds found his self in the gym with Wuya, the warriors, and the spectators, all shocked from seeing the battle.
