Chapter 10

Raimundo POV

I just let everyone have a break whist I prep for the next exercises. I was thinking about some cannon practice, some balance practice by on walking across the river on bamboo sticks, old school training and a hike up the mountain carrying two bags of weights on our shoulder's. I think that would be it for today.

"Well Chi-Fu that's the plan" I told him as I got the weights in the bag ready.

"Yes yes it is sufficient enough I believe. But do not misunderstand me, your team of un trained men is not meeting my standards of war" Chi Fu replied very stern.

I just giggled. "Calm down Chi-Fu yes the men are slacking big time! But how bad can they actually be? You need to chillax" I said not realising exactly what I just said. But soon enough when I looked over to him and saw his 'where did that come from' face I knew I just mucked up.

"Err…umm…I mean everything will turn out fine but it will fine in the end. You should ermm take rest later" I said trying to save my ass.

"Hmm hmm" was all I let Chi-Fu say before I walked out for a few minutes.

I heard the men on their break talking and laughing. But I also felt the wind blowing. Now that was a peaceful feeling. It wasn't that cold on my face but I felt like there was a calm 'at home' atmosphere. Then with the spin of my fingers it blew harder and harder.

'hmm I would really love to ride the wind now but.. I can't' I thought to myself sadly. Anyways I realised time was up and began to walk towards the men.

'Time to put on my hard face' I whispered to myself.

Kimiko's POV

"MEN!" I heard the captain yell as I left the three boys, thoughts pondering my mind. We all lined up ready for his commands.

"We will be doing a series of exercises…" was all I heard when my mind blanked out. What happens if they do have the same powers as me? That's means I am not the only one? My mind continuing the roll of questions one after the other. But suddenly my attention was caught by the yelling,

"HIRO!" Raimundo yelled in my face. I just looked up to see the men doing different things.

"What are you waiting for? Go to your first activity" he continued. I just looked in shock, 'Crap! What was my first activity, I am so dead' I thought to myself in annoyance.

"Ermm can you repeat my first activity please" I asked him very coy. He just gave me a very stern and angry look.

"Well if you have been paying attention you would have known, now" he replied. There was a 5 second silent moment before he pointed his finger towards the group of men at the cannons.

Without a word I walked off to that area, but I felt two daggers piercing my back as I looked back and saw his face. 'Stupid Kimiko, stupid….pay more attention' I whispered to myself as continued walking.

When I got there I saw men standing in a line aiming their cannons at a doll on the ground which looked a lot like Chase Young.

I have never met him, but I definitely heard stories about him growing up.

All the stories had their own personal touch but one thing that the story tellers never missed, was how dangerous and ruthless he is.

Some even said he had the ability to turn in to a dragon and control magic flames, just like accomplice Wuya.

My parents and grandma kept my ability hidden because we don't know how the people of our village and China would react.

There is a legend that runs through the whole of China. The legend is about four xioalin dragons who had the power to control an element each. First there was the brave water monk, he had the ability to manipulate and water around him. Second there was the very powerful earth being. He had the power to control and manipulate and earth (soil, ground, trees, sand etc.). Third there was the fire crusader; unlike the others this warrior was female, like me. She had the power to control/manipulate fire. Finally there was the wind warrior who could control the wind around him. He was the original leader the team, but in each generation, when the time was right the chosen leader will begin to glow. That was the sign that the leader was chosen. He led and fought with great power. But one day when they were very close to ending the Heylin side, they just disappeared and no one has seen them since.

When I first showed signs that I could control fire, my family thought I may be the first decedent of the fire crusader in the last thousand years, but I just think it was luck, besides great no-mad's and monks can learn to bend fire, air, water and earth. So eventually we just dropped the idea of the dragons returning and I continued living my life.

I guess it's just nice to know that I am not the only person I know who can bend an element, hopefully, the boys still haven't admitted anything.

As I snapped back out of my trance, as I saw no one was hitting the target. Not even the three boys. As I walked past I couldn't help but smirk, but I just received some glares from them. Oh well. I grabbed one cannon, found my position and aimed. Carefully I found the right position and began to attempt to light it.

But suddenly I found Jermaine next to me just as I lit it. Suddenly he kicked it and my cannon began to fall down (still lit) I rushed to get and practically hugged it.

Next I knew, BOOM! The cannon shot up in to the air to a random destination. I don't know where it went and what it hit, but all I know is that my face was covered in ashes and my bun was all over the place. The only thing I heard was laughter from Jermaine and Omi. Laughter was occurring way too often for my liking.

(SOMEWHERE ABOVE THE CAMP)

The cannon flew up in to the air; it looked like a bird with a dragon head soaring through the sky.

However soon the cannon began decrease is altitude. Dropping faster and faster it finally it, BANG!

Chi-Fu walked out of his tent only to be covered in ashes and his tent destroyed up in flames.

He stood there charred.

Silence…..

"RAIMUNDO!" was all that was heard.
