Meghan: -takes dom and shakes violently- where in Godric's Hollow have you been?
dragon of magic: Godric's Hollow? Isn' that from Harry Potter? (which I do not own. And while i'm at might as well remind you I don't own XS either)
Meghan: first place that came to mind but don't change the subject!
Rai: Yeah! You left me on a cliff hanger……Literally!
dom: Oh…right…yeah…erm..sorry about that. I…erm..well the weekends have just been busy lately is all and…and you two stealing my notebook didn't help either!
Rai: we wanted to know what happened next can you blame us.
Meghan: yeah I'd bet you anything half those reveiers would have done the same if they could. ...So we did.
dom: well I'm here now so get back out there! -pushes Rai- -points to Meghan- and you're on soon
phew! ok on with the story!
Raimundo felt the lasso tugging at him fiercely. "What's going on up there guys?" He looked up to see that Clay wasn't holding him anymore it was Chase Young! "Didn't see that coming." He groaned because he probably should have.
"Looking for this?" Chase asked smugly. He pulled out a tall golden feather.
"Yeah," Rai answered just as smugly. "You think you could hand that down to me please?"
Chase answered him by letting go of the lasso.
Clay ran up in an attempt to wrestle Chase to the ground. But Chase threw him off of him shortly. Kimiko and Omi started to attack him from behind but Chase was ready.
The three of them battled Chase nobly but he always seemed one step ahead of them.
Meanwhile Raimundo, who was falling, was shouting …"AHHH! AH! AHH! ah …well, that's enough of that…Wudai Star Wind!"
He turned into his outlined blue self and flew to the top of the cliff. He saw Omi being tossed into the air by Chase. Omi landed on his feet but Chase was running toward him. Still blue, Rai used his element again which knocked Chase to the side and he landed in the bushes. Then his body turned back into its normal colors and he threw the boa to Clay.
"Maybe you'll think twice before you say things like that about you and Kimiko in front of me!"
Meghan finally backed off the extremely bruised body of Jack Spicer. The robots being long destroyed, she had been taking revenge for something he had said that I dare not repeat.
"Fine I won't do it. I won't do it!" He screamed on the verged of tears.
Meghan took a couple more steps back when her neck started glowing.
"In front of you." Jack continued to say. And by breaking some law of physics managed to fly off with his Helibot.
Meghan grabbed the pendent and saw that the wind column was glowing. One by one the others joined it.
" Looks like the others have company." She said to herself. And she started to run up the cliff.
Meghan eventually reached the top panting. She peered behind some bushes and saw the others standing around a tree in fighting stances. They had a man surrounded with his back against the trunk. Dojo had moved into branches of the tree staying out of the way. There was evidence that the four elements were used all over the area but the only evidence on the man was that his hair was singed slightly.
He was menacing looking. His body was covered in literally sharp armor and he had green highlights in his black flowing hair. He probably would have looked cute if his reptilian eyes didn't make Meghan's stomach churn in fear.
Her whole body was quivering at the sight of the man.
What's going on Meghan? Relax, get a hold of yourself. Hey, there's a chance he could be a good guy…slim to none but…
Meghan's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the Wudai Warriors attacking the man. Extremely skillful, the man blocked each of them and was edging his way to the bush as the others continued their attacks.
Meghan jumped up. "Elemental Pendent!" she shouted.
Everyone skidded to a halt. The man stared as the pendant's colors swirled together into a purple color and seemed to take much interest in it.
Got 'em. Meghan smiled. She got ready to take control of the smoke that would come any second now. But then the colors began to swirl in the opposite direction. The energy grew in intensity until it exploded with just enough force to knock her a good foot into the ground. The fire, water, wind, and earth began to expand from the explosion and then fade reviling Meghan in the middle of a soot pile that used to be the bush.
Meghan raised her hand. "Surprisingly, …I am…ok!" She reassured. Then her hand dropped.
Omi jumped onto Chase and Rai attacked when he side stepped out of the way while Clay and Kimiko came to Meghan's aid.
Meghan sat up slowly.
"You alright?" Clay asked.
"Just peachy." She answered as she glared at the blank pendent.
"That's weird." Kimiko said. "You had purple smoke the other day. I saw you."
"We all did." Clay agreed.
"Maybe there's an eclipse or something" Meghan remarked but she didn't feel like laughing at her own pathedic joke. She took a small amount of time to reminisce the day they were referring to.
It was probably two days after she had come to the temple. Master Fung had asked the warriors to use the Wudai Orion formation, which made the pendent glow all at once. Master Fung told her to say its name and then focus on the movement of the energy inside it.
It was simple enough. As Meghan did so she felt the energy she was bearing swirl together like it did in her dreams and gush out the square hole.
"Careful." Master Fung had warned her. "If it doesn't stay in check it can be destructive."
"Like any force I suppose." She commented as she made the purple smoke dance over her head. "I wonder…" The purple haze morphed into a four-legged creature and had begun to circle her.
"So what exactly does it do?" Kimiko asked.
"It's basically pure energy and it can either give or take energy to or from other living things. It could steal a foe's energy from them or help a teammate regain theirs. However it needs the energy from all four elements to be able to do such things. If it is missing even one element, its only use is to use them separately or on occasion give its proper host an temporary boost in their regular energy level."
"So…do you think that's why her eyes were all glowy when she first used it? It was giving her extra energy to make roasted chicken and a bean?" Rai asked
"A quite plausible assumption Raimundo."
"That seemed more like a defense mechanism though." Meghan commented. "But having extra energy isn't going to keep me one less step closer from my death."
So I can't rely on you either. Meghan thought to the still blank pendent as the memory faded. Only myself.
Clay and Kimiko helped her stand up. "I'm fine. I can fight." She protested. "I'm not going to be a damsel in distress again!"
Chase pushed Raimundo against the tree and threw Omi into him. "Monkey Strike!" Meghan shouted as she used one of the moves Omi had taught her."
"Repulse the Monkey!" the man yelled almost half-heartily. He flipped her over as she came down on him and Meghan hit the ground again.
Well at least I know who you are now. Meghan smiled as she stood up. "Chase Young. I was wondering when I would get to meet you. Omi has spoken so highly of your skills."
It was true. Omi had told Meghan about his archenemy Chase Young and his history in her lessons. As well as his signature move. But due to convince, never told her his history along side him.
"Really?" Chase raised an eyebrow slightly and stepped to the left. "What else did he tell you?"
"Your soulessness." Meghan stepped to her left as well. Her hand itched at the Tongue of SaiPing.
Meghan half expected a tumbleweed to pass by as they continued to circle each other. Even more so when Raimundo started to whistle thee cliché western showdown theme.
Meghan grabbed her shen gong wu but before she could use it Omi had shouted the name of his blue orb. Chase was hit by a jet of water and stumbled backward off the cliff.
The four took places beside Meghan and waited for Chase to use the feather. Moments later a hawk rose up and dropped Chase in front of them. It continued to fly for a couple more seconds, then turned back into the golden feather and dropped in the middle of all of them. All six of them lunged at it. Guess witch two got there first.
"Meghan. I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." Chase's reptilian eyes narrowed even more then usual.
Meghan gulped.
