Kosmic

Time to continue where we left off last time. I am sorry if there is too many OC's in this story. I want to make this story not just to remake it, but to also support my friends I made on FF. Also this story is for fun for me.

Mea

We do not own Xiaolin Showdown or Yamato. However, Kosmic does own Nova; for a better look on what Nova looks like you can find him on Deviantart by searching 'Kosmicdragon Nova'.

Truth Hurts

"I almost forgot Raimundo's little helping hands. We are who we are, right? Try and stop me..." Ashley ran off quickly.

"After her!" One of Raimundo's friends said as all but one gave chase.

The one who did not give chase was holding Raimundo, who began to stir. Raimundo was put down as he began to come to then he looked up at the guy helping him. It was Nova, one of Raimundo's first friends he made when he came to New York.

Nova had white silverish hair and dark hazel eyes. A faded dark blue, long sleeve open jacket showing that was close to his feet and exposed his chest and stomach, light blue pants, and dark blue boots.

"The others are chasing Ashley as we speak." Nova told Raimundo as he rose to his feet.

"Let's catch up, she just made it personal by using a new friend of mine." Raimundo told Nova, who half agreed with Raimundo, one part of him did not like Raimundo making it personal.

Raimundo took out his cell and called who was chasing Ashley to find where they were. Once he knew, he and Nova ran to attempt to cut her off. Once they both hit an alley, they were in front of Ashley. She looked a bit frightened, but was keeping her cool.

"It's over, Ashley, hand over what you stole." Raimundo told Ashley as she smiled.

"Now, why would I do such a thing like that?" Ashley asked in a cat-like tone to annoy everyone.

"Be careful guys, she is up to something." Raimundo said as he heard a laugh from behind him.

"Now, look what the cat dragged in for us to play." Everyone turned to see Yamato and a couple Heylin Tiger students.

Ashley quickly dashed between Raimundo and Nova while their guard was down. She went to Yamato's side even though he didn't seem to be interested in her. Ashley began to walk away, but before she was gone she spoke, "Not what I had planned, but have fun beating up Raimundo."

Raimundo looked at Nova, and he looked back at Raimundo. Someone had to go after Ashley and Yamato had a grudge on both of them. They both nod and run right at Yamato, who attacked Raimundo, letting Nova pass. A fight had started against Yamato and Raimundo as their friends faced off against each other. Nova was gone by now and was after Ashley.

Yamato sent a punch at Raimundo, who blocked then quickly grabbed Yamato's arm, sending a punch to Yamato's stomach. Yamato tried to break free from Raimundo's grip and tried to fight back, but it was difficult because Raimundo had his arm.

Once Yamato was able to free his arm, he had took a couple good hits. He went to punch Raimundo again, who jumped over the punch and twisted his body in mid-air to kick at Yamato's arm. Sure Yamato has seen Raimundo do this, but not so fast or and in some style. Yamato did not like it, he had trained in a martial art style longer and he had only seen a few do what Raimundo did so well. Raimundo's raw fighting abilities finally has style, it pained him to do what he did next.

"Retreat! I repeat and hate to say it, retreat!" Yamato told everyone who was with him.

"Don't think I am running away, I was not prepared for your new skill. Next time, it will not be easy, Pedrosa." Yamato told Raimundo, saying his last name with hate.

Raimundo then quickly took out his cell as he ran in the direction Nova went."Hey, did you catch Ashley?"

"No, she got away, but I did get what she stole. I am taking them back to the docks. Raimundo, you need to do something about her before it is too late." Nova told Raimundo over the phone.

Raimundo hung up his phone then told the others to go on home. Once he got home, he took a shower before he went to bed. His mind was on one thing, Yamato retreating. He was not sure if he was stronger than before. He felt no better than when he first started training at the Xiaolin Dragon, but, according to what Yamato said, he did get better. A smile crossed his face before he finally went to sleep.

It is now Thursday and Raimundo was halfway to school until he met up with Kimiko. He told her everything that happened last night and she was not sure how to take it. The fact Omi helped Ashley told her that Ashley tricked him and Omi could be used by her.

"I can't believe it, but Ashley has done it before." Kimiko told Raimundo as they walked to school.

"Yeah, me being one of them. That was when I met Nova and he set me straight." Raimundo commented as Kimiko nodded.

"That was, if I remember, when you started to find friends to help bring order to the streets. I even joined since I was fired up to do something to help out." Kimiko said, remembering a bit of her past.

"It was never like this at Rio de Janeiro; I also believe it was nothing like Tokyo Japan." Raimundo said as Kimiko nodded.

When Raimundo and Kimiko got to school, they hugged before going to their respectful classes. While Raimundo was walking to his class, he spotted Ashley and made his way to her. Ashley turned to face him and saw a stern face.

"What do you want? If you did not know, you won last night." Ashley told him angrily.

"I will not win until you get caught, you always manage to get away." Raimundo said and slammed his hand against the wall next to Ashley.

"Stay away from Omi, he is a good friend. He doesn't deserve to be used and if you try to use him again, I do not care if I get suspended from school for hitting a girl." Raimundo told Ashley before walking away.

Ashley grinned at what she heard. She knew Kimiko was a weakness to Raimundo, but now she knows he cares for Omi. She made a mental note to use Omi against Raimundo somehow. However, it was class time, so she simply put it aside for later.

School was not eventful for Raimundo until it was over. He was with Kimiko as they walked out only to meet up with Omi, Clay, and Jermaine. They did not seem to happy with Raimundo and, finally, one of them spoke.

"What's this about harassing Ashley, Raimundo?" Clay asked as Raimundo looked a bit confused for a moment.

"Ashley came to us at lunch and told us that you yelled at her and demanded her to leave Omi alone." Jermaine said, ready to get into a fight.

"It was all about last night. Omi, you were there." Raimundo defended himself as Omi shook his head.

"You didn't let me explain, I was helping her retrieve those jewels stolen from her family." Omi said defending himself and Ashley, only now Jermaine looked questioning at him.

"Hold on, are you talking about the cat eye gems? Someone tried to steal those, it was on this morning's news." Jermaine remarked as Clay looked confused.

"Those were stolen from Ashley's family. She even told me that people are covering up the fact it was from her family." Omi said now having Clay look to the side in disbelief.

"Yeah, it hurts to see the truth." Kimiko finally said and Omi looked at her confused.
All Omi could say was, "What?"

"Omi, those gems are from Egypt and proven, are you sure Ashley said all of that?" Jermaine asked Omi, who felt like he just lost some respect from a friend.

"Those gems are from her family, she said so. I could feel the emotion from her when she told me. Jermaine, my friend, believe me." Omi said only to see Jermaine turn his head.

"I can not believe this, all those stories about Ashley are true." Jermaine said quietly as Omi stepped closer Clay.

"Clay you believe me, right?" Omi asks as Clay searched his own mind and heart.

"I don't know anymore, Omi. I have never seen that in Ashley, ever, but what ya just said... I am just confused." Clay replied.

"Omi, Ashley is no good. You have to believe me on the fact that she is a thief." Raimundo said, as Omi ran off, ignoring his friends.

"Ashley must have really got to Omi." Kimiko said as Raimundo nodded and Jermaine began to remember all the stories about Ashley.

"I don't believe Ashley has gone bad, someone could have used her. Maybe controlling her in some way, I won't believe it. We better get ready for training." Clay said then ran off, leaving Raimundo and Kimiko in disbelief.

"Well Clay is right about one thing, getting ready for training. I will see you tomorrow, Kimiko, I love you." Raimundo told her as she repeats his last three words before kissing him.

Jermaine followed them after a couple minutes, unknown someone was listening in. Ashley walked out of where she was hiding when they were all gone. She was hoping for a fight to break out between friends, but what happened was good enough for her. Omi was still in her hands, Raimundo along with Kimiko was a wedge in Omi's relation with Jermaine and Clay, and, lastly, the reaction Clay had. To her, it seemed Clay liked her, something she could use in the future. Ashley was certain to report what she done to her master, Chase Young.

End of Chapter

Kosmic

Come who did not see that happening? Ashley being one of Chase Young's students. Well, I hope everyone liked this chapter. I do have a question for my reviewers. Should I do an origin chapters for the main cast? You know their first days in New York, because the story is already going to be a long one.
