I'm determined to finish this by next weekend. Here's your chapter 11.


The newly completed team of Xiaolin Monks stood outside the Xiaolin Temple.

"Please Master Fung; please tell me there will be no more dragons." Omi pleaded.

"I cannot answer that question with 100% accuracy young one, anything is possible." Master Fung replied. Omi pouted and walked away, not happy with the older man's answer.

"Poor little guy." Kimiko said.

"He'll get over it, just like when Adam, Alex and Brian joined." Raimundo responded, trying to lighten the mood.

It was still daytime, the sun shining brightly in the sky, warming the land below it. Jenn sat outside, by the fountain that Wuya had been thrown over just last night. She drew patterns in the water with her hand, first a star, then a smiley face, and finally a "J". She heard footsteps and looked up to see Adam sit down next to her.

"The water is warm. It's nice." Jenn said.

"Hello to you too, Sunshine." Adam replied. Jenn giggled and turned to face Adam, putting her legs in front of her body, resting on the edge of the fountain completely. She wrapped her arms around her legs, hugging them.

"So, how you enjoying saving the world?" Adam said.

"It's… interesting," Jenn said, trailing off. She stared at the water, blinked and turned back to Adam, "Definitely nothing I ever thought I'd have to do. Not that I don't enjoy it, but I don't know how to put my feelings into words."

"That's how I felt for the first couple days, but you get used to it. You should be happy, the seven of us are together again, we can hang out just like we did back home." Adam tried to cheer her up. Jenn looked at Adam, making eye contact with him. Her eyes were mixed with emotions, confusion, uncertainty, maybe even fear. But her eyes also showed warmth, comfort, even content.

"I guess you're right. Besides, it's not like we have much of a challenge, even Chase was taken down by Brian, how tough could he be?" Jenn said with a chuckle. The two laughed about Chase's most recent defeat.


Jack walked up to the front door of his house. His body was bruised from the previous challenge; Kat had really beaten on him. He took out his key and unlocked the front door. He turned the handle and opened the door, and nearly screamed at what he saw.

"Hey cousin, where have you been?" Zach said from the couch where he was sitting. Jack was about to yell at Zach when he saw Kim in the kitchen. She was putting a frozen pizza in the oven. He screamed and passed out in the doorway.

"Is he dead?" Kim said, walking out of the kitchen.

"He's just unconscious." Zach told her.

"Maybe we should revive her with peptic salve and adrenaline [1]." Kim suggested.


The infamous training course was set up yet again. This time, there were various dummies and wooden poles. The course was divided by a wall, and it was the same on both sides. On the left side, stood Ana, and on the right, Kat. They both had their katanas drawn, and were ready to begin training. Holding up on of her guns, Alex fired a shot into the air, signaling for the training to start.

Kat and Ana moved in unison, mimicking each other but their actions mirrored. As Ana slashed, wielding the sword in her left hand, Kat slashed, sword in her right hand. They had reached a halfway point, and the courses changed at that point. Kat's dummies hung over water, and Ana's hung over a pit in the ground.

The air around Kat grew colder. Her eyes shined a lighter blue, ready to strike. Her pupils resembled the pupils of a cat, and she jumped towards the water. Looking down, she saw that the pool had to be about 100 feet deep. If she didn't figure out how to solidify it, she was likely to drown.

"I hope this works." She said to herself, falling towards the water. She thrust her sword towards the water.

"ICE." She called out as the sword pierced the water's surface. The water flashed a light blue colour and grew colder. A thick layer of ice formed on top of it. Kat landed on the ice, not feeling a shift underneath her.

"Nice and sturdy, now let's go." Kat said confidently. She pulled the sword from the ice, the hole where it was sealed up. She charged at the dummies, swinging her sword at them. Some were hit by just the sword; others were hit by the sword after it had been coated in a sheet of sharp ice. Kat held the sword in front of her face. She slammed the palm of her left hand into the sword and pushed it forward, sending shards of ice flying at a dummy, shredding into it. The dummies fell to the ground, stuffing overflowing and littering the ground.

Ana took a different approach. She eyed the pit, guessing that it would take a long time to hit the bottom. She didn't want to see how long it took. She stabbed her sword into the ground, and her eyes shined a green colour. The ground under her cracked.

"NATURE" she spoke loudly, the ground breaking and thick vines sprouting out of it. The vines grew across the gap, making a bridge to the other side. Ana ran towards the dummies, slashing one with her sword. She spun and vines burst from the ground, piercing the dummy. Vines wrapped around the sword, making it longer. The vines were covered in spikes. She impaled the third dummy. The dummies fell to the ground, littering it with their insides.

Both Kat and Ana exited the course, greeted by their teammates.

"Ana learned Frenzy Plant." Adam cheered, patting her on the back.

"Cold moves my friend." Omi said to Kat.

"I think he means "cool moves."" Raimundo added in.

"Oh no, I most certainly mean cold." Omi said, pointing to the frozen pool of water that Kat had made.

"Oh, right. Yeah, it's pretty impressive." Raimundo responded.


Jack awoke, his head hurt him. His vision was blurred as he opened his eyes. When his vision cleared, he saw Kim standing over him.

"Oh haro, I see you're awake. I made you some macaroni." Kim said, holding a bowl to him. Jack turned white… well, whiter.


Jack was 14. In hopes to improve his culinary skills, he had taken a cooking class. The first class that they were instructed to cook; they were assigned to make something simple.

"Macaroni," Jack said, "I should be able to make that. Boil water and put it in. Simple, Right?" Wrong. Jack had assumed that it would be simple to cook the yellow noodles, but he put the heat on too high. As he slammed the pot onto the stove, a spark hit the exposed flame, causing an explosion. Jack had lost his eyebrows that day, and he lost his pride. He refused to eat macaroni from that day on.


"No thanks, I'll just have some pudding." Jack said, getting off the floor and pushing the noodles away. He opened up the refrigerator and pulled out a pudding cup. As he pealed back the top, the pudding exploded.

"Woooooow." Zach and Kim said, staring at the chocolate coated teenager.


The sun was beginning to set over the Xiaolin temple. The monks were about to head inside when Dojo stopped them

"I've got good news and bad news." Dojo started. The monks groaned at the dragon's comment.

"The bad news in, a new Zodiac Wu has revealed itself." Dojo told them.

"And the good news?" Clay asked.

"You won't have to wake up in the middle of the morning." Dojo said as he grew to his full size. The 11 monks climbed onto Dojo's back and they flew off.


Wuya knocked on Jack's door. Chase and Wuya decided they would get their idiot accomplice and go get the newest Zodiac Wu, but the teenage boy wasn't answering the door.

"Well, guess he isn't home, too bad, let's go. We've got better things to do then wait for him." Wuya said as she began to turn and walk away.

"No, I'll get him out." Chase said. He kicked the door and it flew open. He was surprised to see two unfamiliar teens sitting on Jack's couch.

"Hey guy we don't know." Zach greeted.

"I like your armor, totally intimidating." Kim added.

"I'm looking for that idiot Jack Spicer." Chase began.

"Oh, he's passed out in the kitchen." Kim told him.

"Lovely. Well, I'll just leave him there, we're probably better off without him." Chase said as he turned and walked out the door.

"Let me guess, he's unconscious." Wuya said as Chase walked over to her.

"Bingo." Chase replied.

"Wonderful, now we can get the job done much quicker." Wuya almost cheered. The two left Jack's house, off to get the Wu.


The monks had bundled up, because they were in the Swiss Alps.

"It's cold, let's get the Wu and get out of here." Adam moaned.

"What is this Wu, anyway?" Clay asked Jenn, who was holding the scroll.

"Let's see," Jenn said, opening the scroll, "It's called the Capricorn Glaive."

"A mother related Wu. Wonderful." Brian said to his siblings, who rolled their eyes and chuckled.

"It says that it is a long pole-axe type weapon, that when activated, gives the user the agility of a mountain goat. It is also a fully functional glaive that can cut through material as strong as steel. It is also an earth Shen Gong Wu." Jenn told the group.

"Mountain goat… great. That means heights will be involved." Adam said, his fear kicking in again. He would be sure to make it blatantly obvious that he was not doing any showdown that involved heights or the possibility of falling from them. They landed on the top of a mountain, and shivered as a gust of wind blew, snow whipped around. Adam looked over the edge and saw how high up they were. He yelped and jumped back, landing in Clay's arms.

"Well hello there." Adam said, turning to look at the cowboy.

"Uhm, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're afraid of heights." Raimundo said to the teen.

"Yes, very much so." Adam replied.

"But you ride on Dojo no problem." Clay said to him.

"Well, a flying dragon with decent reaction time is much safer than a cliff coated in ice and really high up." Adam told him.

"Am I gonna have to hold you this whole time?" Clay asked.

"Probably, yeah." Adam said, not wanting to have to walk so close to the edge of a mountain. Clay sighed and continued to hold his team mate.

"You're a good friend, Clay 'ol pal." Adam said.

"Yeah, I've been told." Clay said in an exasperated tone.

The group had climbed to the peak of a mountain, not making much progress in the search for the Wu. That was until they slipped on a snow bank and fell down the side of the mountain.

"You see? This is why I hate mountains." Adam cried out.

The group crashed to the ground. Raimundo was the first one to notice the Capricorn Glaive sticking out of the side of the mountain. Unfortunately for him, so had Chase. They both grabbed onto the Wu and it began to glow.

"Chase, long time no ass kicking." Raimundo taunted.
"Ah, Raimundo, as smug and conceited as ever." Chase said back.

"Ha ha, point out my flaws, but I'm still gonna beat you. I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. I wager my Mantis Flip Coin for your Jet Bootsu." Raimundo explained.

"Very well, what is the challenge?" Chase asked.

"I was getting to that," Raimundo said angrily, "The challenge is Swiss Alp Ascension. The first one to plant a flag at the top of the mountain wins."

"Let's go, Xiaolin Showdown." The two called out.

The mountain range cleared away, a snow covered plain remaining. A single mountain pierced the ground and stood high over the ground. The other monks, in battle armor, and Wuya stood on a slightly shorter hill with a flat top, a border keeping them from falling. Raimundo, in battle armor, and Chase stood at the foot of the mountain.

"GONG-YI-TAN PAI!" The contestants called out. Both of them began to climb the mountain, and they both struggled to climb the icy slope.

"WIND" Raimundo called out, pushing his hands forward. The gust of wind blew the snow away, leaving a clear path of rock.

"JEY BOOTSU." Chase called out. The boots activated, and he began to float. No longer having to worry about slipping, he was able to scale the mountain with ease.

"Grr… MANTIS FLIP COIN." Raimundo called out. He flipped the coin into the air, caught it, and flipped into the air himself. He used the wind to glide up the mountain, catching up to Chase. Both of them ascended the mountain rapidly, and they reached the peak at the same time. They both pulled out a flag and went to place it into the deep snow. Raimundo jabbed at Chase with the flag's pole, but Chase blocked it. Being more skilled with pole type weapons, Chase was able to block and parry all of Raimundo's attacks.

"I grow bored of this persistent feuding." Chase said. He smacked Raimundo in the side of the head, and the Brazilian fell off the side of the cliff. The showdown ended as Chase stabbed the snow with the flag pole.

Kat and Ana were there to catch Raimundo before he hit the ground. They placed him on his feet and left him to himself. The evil duo had made their exit, successfully retreating to Chase's lair.

The downtrodden monks got onto their mount and flew back to China.

"At least it isn't as cold now." Adam said, unzipping his jacket and feeling the warmth on his arms.


Yep, getting their elemental cutaway sequences out of the way. This story may be going by quickly, but it'll all be worth it.

Don't forget to review.
