Disclaimer: Yep, I own nothing

"Shall we begin?" Tim said as he and Raimundo got into fighting stance. Raimundo smirked and ran towards Tim. Tim appeared in front of Raimundo and threw a punch, but Raimundo disappeared and reappeared behind Tim. Raimundo tried to kick him, but he caught Raimundo's foot and sent Raimundo stumbling back with his palm. Tim an elbow hit on Raimundo's chest and then roundhouse kicked Raimundo in the head. Raimundo quickly recovered and went on the offensive. He stood on his hands and began spinning his legs in the air, kicking Tim several times. Raimundo got back up and threw a punch at him. Tim dodged the punch and kicked him in the chest several times. Tim jumped back and stood with his arms crossed. Raimundo ran forward, but stopped as he got close. A dark aura surrounded the space around Tim. Raimundo stepped back, sensing that a strong attack was about to come.

"Shadow Tendrils, Darkness." A large number of black tendrils shot up. Tim extended his arm to Raimundo and the tendrils raced towards him. Raimundo, using his powers over the wind, to speed faster and dodge the attack. Raimundo appeared behind Tim and tried to land a kick on him. Tim turned his eyes to Raimundo and the tendrils raced towards him yet again. Raimundo wasn't able to dodge the attack and was sent flying into a nearby wall. Raimundo got back on his feet and saw that the tendrils were receding back into the ground. He sighed, but the he felt a sharp pain from his left shoulder. The tendril that hit him pierced into his shoulder, there was some blood coming from the wound, but Raimundo ignored it and ran at Tim.

"Shoku Star, Wind!" Raimundo shot a strong gust of wind at Tim, but he blocked it like it was nothing. Raimundo got angry and ran towards Tim again. Tim jumped over Raimundo and struck him in the back of the neck. Tim grabbed Raimundo by the neck and threw him to the ground. Tim aimed his hand at Raimundo with his palm out.

"Shadow Blast." A dark blast of energy erupted from his hand and hit Raimundo. There was a huge explosion and dust covered the field. Tim jumped into the air, hovering and looked down. When the dust settled, Raimundo was gone. Tim looked around for him, but as soon as he knew it, he was sent hurling to the ground. Raimundo hovered in the air, a smirk on his face, he began to power up and aimed both of his hands at Tim who was getting up.

"Shoku Razor Cyclone, Wind!" A huge cyclone appeared around Tim and the winds inside began to sharpen, slashing Raimundo's opponent. When the winds died down Tim stood on the ground blood dripping from his right arm. The two glared at each other. Raimundo flew down in an effort to reserve power. "You wanna give up now?" He said, smirking.

"You are not fighting at your full strength."

"Huh?"

"I have told you that I wish to fight you at full strength." Raimundo smiled and looked at Tim, who stood in front of him, still very calm.

"Are you sure about that?" Tim just stood silent. "Okay. Fine by me if you want to lose now." A gray aura started to glow around Raimundo. When it stopped, a huge surge of power was released, sending almost everybody in the arena down to their knees. Everyone except the master and Tim.

"Good." A dark aura started to cover Tim as the shadows raced across the field to him. "Then I shall not be holding back anything. Get ready Raimundo. We shall end this here." Raimundo and Tim disappeared and when they met, there was a huge explosion. Raimundo and Tim jumped back. Tim ran at Raimundo and the shadows started to cover his entire left arm. "Dark Fist." He struck Raimundo in the chest, which almost caused Raimundo to fall down. Raimundo grabbed his arm and pulled him in closer.

"Shoku Typhoon Palm, Wind!" He struck Tim in the chest and sent him flying into a nearby wall. Tim jumped out of the wall towards Raimundo, but Raimundo appeared right in front of him and spun around kicking Tim twice in the stomach sending him into the air. Raimundo jumped after him and gathered his chi into his hands. "Shoku Star, Wind!" He shot a powerful gust of wind at Tim. Since the attack was up close the impact was more powerful and Tim was sent to the ground with great force. Raimundo stayed in the air hovering over the field looking for Tim.

"Shadow Slash, Darkness." Raimundo turned around and was hit by a large dark razor slash. Raimundo lost control in the air, but regained it only to see Tim heading straight for him. "Dark Fist." Raimundo tried to block the attack, but Tim overpowered him and Raimundo was sent into the ground. Tim lowered himself back to the ground and Raimundo struggled to get back up.

"Okay. You are really getting on my nerves!" Raimundo said as he got up.

"Shall we end this then?"

"Fine." Raimundo started to charge up even more of his power into his final attack."This is the ultimate attack that Master Fung taught me." He released an even more powerful surge of power than last time. "Shoku Dragon Power, Wind!" Raimundo's power increased dramatically that everyone was struggling to stand, even Tim.

"What did you teach him, Fung?" The master asked himself as the sky darkened and the wind in the arena grew violent.

"Raimundo." Kimiko said as she looked at Raimundo.

"You have grown stronger, Raimundo." Tim said as he began to charge up his power. A large unknown and dark being appeared behind Tim. "Dark Rage." He also released a large surge of power. He and Raimundo stood still glaring at each other.

"It's time to lose, dude."

"Shall we?" Raimundo and Tim charge at each other, anger in their eyes. As they collided, a huge explosion followed. Everyone covered protected themselves from the shockwave. When they turned back Raimundo and Tim were standing at opposite sides of the field facing away from each other. Everyone waited to see what would happen next. Raimundo fell to his knee, but was able to stay up.

"That... was fun." Raimundo said. He turned around to see Tim on his knees as well.

"You have done well, Raimundo." Tim said as he fell.

"Looks like... I... win." Raimundo fell as well. There was a series of flashes and the arena was back to normal. Clay and Omi picked Raimundo up, but as they saw the others approaching with Kimiko they dropped him and got into fighting stance.

"Oops, sorry pard'ner."

"It's... okay." Raimundo struggled to say.

"Here." The master said as they handed her back. "Don't worry. We'll stay true to our word. I mean we're not Heylin or anything."

"But I thought you were. If you are not Heylin, then why would you kidnap Kimiko?" Omi said as he lowered his stance.

"Because..." To answer Omi the master removed his cloak. "I'm a Grand Master." Omi and Clay's jaws dropped as they saw who it was.

"What's... going on?" Raimundo said as he got up. When he turned to see what was going on, his jaw dropped to. "Grand Master..."

"Dashi!" Omi said as he ran over to him. Dashi began to hold Omi back with one arm and began to explain what was going on.

"I did all of this to test your skills. Especially you Raimundo. Ever since all of you got to the temple to rain your elements, I watched over all of you. I watched as you grew stronger. As you grew as a team." Dashi explained. "Hey Mai, once your done healing Tim over there, come over here and heal Raimundo got it?"

" 'Kay." Mai said as she continued healing Tim.

"As you can see, Mai can heal others using her powers over light." Dashi explained as Mai got up. They heard Tim groaning as he got up.

"Thank You Mai." Mai blushed and then walked over to Raimundo to heal him.

"Well, who're these fellas Grand Master Dashi sir?"

"Please just call me Dashi. As for them, they're the Xiaolin Guardians. The Xiaolin Guardians are a group I made after I disappeared from the world 1500 years ago. These six just started around the same time you guys did. I've been personally training them over these three years and the only one that's made the most progress was Tim. Oh, by the way... Can someone get him away from me!" Dashi yelled, still holding back Omi. Clay piked him up and set him down near Kimiko. Omi turned and hugged Kimiko instead.

"Oh my friend, I have missed you so."

"Oh, I missed you too Omi." She went over to Clay and hugged him too. The she walked over to Raimundo to see if he was okay.

"Wow, I feel better now. Thanks Mai." Raimundo said as he got up he turned around at the same time Kimiko got to him and the two were face to face. The two blushed madly and Raimundo spoke up. "Um... Hey Kim." Kimiko didn't answer. Instead she hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I missed you too Rai."

"Ahem." Mai interrupted their moment. "If you guys don't mind, why don't you rest here for the night. You can go home tomorrow." Raimundo and the others accepted and they spent the rest of the night getting to know each other. But unknown to the monks, they are in for a surprise when they get back to the temple tomorrow.

Holy crap! I think this is the longest chapter I've typed. If you guys guessed Dashi, then you're right. The story's almost over, so go ahead and review. I mean I'm not gonna sound desperate for reviews, but PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!

There, all better. Until next time.
