SailorStar9: This is Chapter 10 of this fic and in regards to Ren, I've mixed in a little of Winx Club in. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Chapter Summary: When Raimundo does not get promoted to Xiaolin Apprentice level because of his disobedience, Wuya persuades him over to the Heylin side. When the 'Reversing Mirror' reveals itself, Raimundo betrays his friends upon winning the Mirror and joins the Heylin side. He then steals the 'Serpent's Tail' from the Xiaolin Temple. With this Shen Gong Wu and the 'Reversing Mirror', Wuya can be restored to full power. The other Xiaolin Warriors must stop Wuya and Raimundo before Wuya can be returned to her physical body.

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.

Chapter 10: In the Flesh

"Now my Xiaolin Apprentices, with your new ranking comes the learning of new skills." Master Fong addressed the group. "Kimiko, please. Say the name of this Shen Gong Wu and then your Dragon element." He handed Kimiko the 'Star of Hanabi'. "It should unlock a unique power."

"'Star of Hanabi', Fire!" Kimiko tossed the flaming Shen Gong Wu at the training targets.

"Omi, Clay, now you try." Master Fong handed them the 'Orb of Tonami' and the 'Third-Arm Sash'.

"'Orb of Tonami', Water!" Omi tested out his upgraded powers.

"'Third-Arm Sash', Earth!" Clay called.

"Ice…" Omi gaped, the burning statute turning into solid ice.

"This sash is as strong as stone." Clay joked, the 'Third-Arm Sash' punching through another training target reducing it to rubble.

"Wow, stringing together a couple of words." Raimundo snorted. "I can see why that's reserved for Apprentice level."

"'Charmix', Wood!" Ren called forth her new transformation. The pink gem droned in her hair burst into a bright pink light that then showered her in pink petals.

"Neat." Kimiko nodded, the group taking in her new outfit which was primarily in fuchsia and orchid in colors and consisted of a sparkling one piece, bare shouldered top of the same colors and similar-colored ankle-high platform boots. A green choker with a pink colored four petal flower adorned her neck and her lime-green wings completed the entire setup.

"Seasons' Edge!" Ren took to the skies and cast her spell, turning the demolished training targets into birds.

"Well, that never happened before." Kimiko admitted, as Ren landed beside her.

"First time for everything." Ren shrugged.

"Raimundo, my friend, I understand your disappointment." Omi soothed. "You just have to see the cloudness has a silver lining because I should train you night and day."

"Until I'm as good as you?" Raimundo deathpanned.

"Oh no, you'll never be that good." Omi corrected. "But with my guidance, you may become adequate."

"Oh wow, Omi, you should be a motivational speaker." Raimundo remarked. "You motivated me right out of here." He slipped on the 'Golden Tiger Claws'.

"Rai, no!" Ren tried to stop him.

"'Golden Tiger Claws'!" Raimundo ported himself out.

"Ah, here it is, the 'Reversing..." Master Fong remarked.

"What is it?" Raimundo ported back. "What's the Shen Gong Wu?"

"Where have you been, young man?" Dojo scolded. "I've been worried sick… wait a second." He stopped himself. "How did you know there was a Shen Gong Wu?"

"Well, you know, Tiger Instincts and all that." Raimundo shrugged. "So what is it?"

"The 'Reversing Mirror'." Master Fong replied. "It reverses the effects of any Shen Gong Wu. For example, the 'Two-Ton Tunic' will become as light as a feather.

"That is, as Kimiko might say, heavy." Omi joked.

"Golden Pollen." Ren, not really appreciating the joke, bundled the shorter monk within her vines. "What?" she exclaimed, looking at the rest. "He asked for it!"

"Jokes aren't going to get Shen Gong Wu, people." Dojo urged. "Straddle up."

"As they say, finders keepers, loser's weepers." Jack approached the mirror.

"Only one, who will be the weeping loser?" Omi retorted. "It's you, Jack Spicer!"

"Wow, that's the stupidest taunt ever." Jack mocked. "Stick to the kicking and jumping, Omi."

"As you wish!" Omi leapt into action.

"Too slow!" Jack grabbed the mirror Omi had kicked into the air.

"Got it!" Kimiko knocked Jack aside and claimed the mirror.

"Jack-bots, attack!" Jack gave the order and one of the Jack-bots knocked Kimiko off balance.

"Ninja Daisies!" Ren fired her shower of golden daisies at the Jack-bots, while Clay took the direct approach and bulldozed them.

"Spicer, I challenge you to a 'Xiaolin Showdown'!" Raimundo glared as he and Jack laid hands on the 'Reversing Mirror'.

"Alright, Raimundo!" Kimiko cheered.

"That's what I'm talking about." Dojo nodded.

"So, where do you want them?" Raimundo turned to Wuya.

"Well done, Raimundo." Wuya chuckled.

"I'm done with this Xiaolin thing." Raimundo turned to the group. "From now on, you can find me on the Heylin side. 'Golden Tiger Claws'."

"So long, Xiaolin Warriors." Wuya taunted and vanished with Raimundo.

"We can't believe Rai has gone bad just because he didn't get promoted the Xiaolin Apprentice." Kimiko remarked. "And of the all of us, Ren's the most heartbroken." As she listened to Ren's 'Nature's Symphony'. "The Shen Gong Wu vault?" she gaped as a gust of wind rushed past them.

"Someone's opened it." Clay added.

"Why would Raimundo just take one Shen Gong Wu?" Omi asked, after Raimundo made his escape with the 'Serpent's Tail'."

"Because that one Shen Gong Wu is all Wuya needs." Ren replied.

"Is the 'Serpent's Tail' really all that?" Kimiko was confused.

"You got that ominous thing going on." Dojo stated. "Care to spill the beans?"

"On its own, the 'Serpent's Tail' is no great threat." Master Fong explained. "It makes a solid person ghostly."

"But combined with the 'Reversing Mirror', it would turn a ghostly person solid." Ren realized what her uncle had meant.

"Wuya!" the rest of the Apprentices echoed.

"Precisely." Master Fong confirmed.

"Anything, Dojo?" Kimiko asked.

"Zip, nadda." Dojo replied.

"Please hurry." Omi urged. "If Wuya is restored to her flesh and form…"

"Wait, hold on." Dojo sniffed. "I got something. Is that the 'Serpent's Tail'? Bingo!" he sped up.

"Do it, boy!" Wuya pressed. "Hurry!"

"'Serpent's Tail'!" Raimundo charged straight towards the 'Reversing Mirror'.

"'Reversing Mirror'!" Wuya floated before the mirror.

"No…" Ren breathed, feeling her link with nature slowing severing.
