Mayhemb; Well, this'll be interesting.
"Whoa, who is that Lady..? Omi asked as he looked through the stationary binoculars, Alexis and Kimiko were beside him.
Kimiko was wearing a brown wig with things that closely resembled dread-locks with yellow beads, a yellow arm band, a black top, a back pack, tan pants, a purple/black hat, a purple belt, and purple high tops. Alexis was wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt (the ones from 1987-1996 to be exact), a black messenger bag, black jeans, a light blue head band, her signature blue bird earrings (she is always wearing these so if I forget to mention that, they are always there) and red trainers.
"That's the Statue of Liberty, Omi." Kimiko repied as she looked towards the green statue with her own eyes, as Alexis glared at the ground. Now, don't get her wrong, Alexis rather enjoyed New York...Had it not been for her least favorite brother, Mark, working here...Ugh.
"She must have been a greaaat Xiaolin Warrior to get a statue that big." Omi stated, and before Alexis could reply to that she heard the binoculars shut off.
"I HAVE GONE BLINDED!" Omi yelled as she moved away from the binoculars, Alexis giggled at this a bit before walking over to Raimundo, Clay, and Dojo as they tried to figure out what Shen Gong Wu they were after.
"What's the matter Nani..? Not likin' the hustle and bustle of the city?" Raimundo asked when he saw the look on Alexis' face after her eyes sweeped over a few bill-boards.
"Non, I am fine viz zee 'ustle and bustle. I 'ate zee people 'ere...Or, atleast, a p'ah'son 'oo lives 'ere." Alexis muttered the last part under her breath, before the boys found something in the scrolls.
"Perhaps this will be useful in locating the Shen Gong Wu..!" Omi exclaimed as he continued to use the binoculars, while Dojo practically rolled his eyes at the idea.
"Good luck, the Serpent's Tail is always moving..!"
'Even through solid objects if ah'm readin' that right..." Clay added in as he watched the cartoon, Raimundo smirked a bit at this.
"Great, we're lookin' for the Shen Gong Wu that never stops-"
"In the city that never sleeps!" Kimiko chimed as she cut off Raimundo, "New York is my kinda town, anybody wanna catch a show tonight...?"
Alexis actually thought of the idea, she did like the theaters here...Yet, Dojo's senses kicked in, ruining her plans.
"Whoa...! Don't buy those tickets yet, that Serpent's Tail is close." Dojo declared, before the group started off on their journey through the hustling streets.
"So many buildings, so many people..! How do they all know where they are going?" Omi questioned as he wandered through the streets with the others, Alexis was to busy glaring at some bill boards to answer him.
"I recommend a GPS." Kimiko told Omi, glancing towards the boy as she did so.
"Definatly don't wanna get lost here, that's for sure..!" Clay declared as he and Raimundo walked in front of Alexis, who slowly drifted past their forms and started to lead a bit.
"Yeah, one wrong turn and you're a headline..! Monk mashed in Manhattan." Raimundo stated, jutting out his hands in the way that most film producers did as they exclaimed the title of their newest block-buster.
"Please, you just need to know zee t'ah'ffic signs and signals." Alexis scoffed a bit at everyone's nervousness, before biting her lip. Dang it, this city was starting to get to her..!
"Nani...? You alright? You've seemed a bit off since we got here." Raimundo whispered to the French-girl after catching up to her, just as Dojo suddenly grunted as an odd look crossed his face.
"What's wrong Dojo..?" Clay questioned the dark green dragon, who'm he was holding. Suddenly Dojo flew up in front of Clay's face and gripped the cowboy's cheeks.
"I've lost track of the Serpent's Tail!" Dojo exclaimed, yet Kimiko had that covered as she slid off her backpack and rummaged around a bit.
"Well maybe it can go through solid objects, but we can see through them with this." Kimiko stated as she pulled out the Falcon's Eye from her backpack, before activating it and looking around the buildings.
...Only for her to shutter when she saw something probably unpleasant.
"Se'ah'ves 'er right fo'ah invading ozahs pri'ah'cy." Alexis muttered as Omi was then handed the Falcon's Eye and looked around happily, taking everything in the inner parts of the city gave him.
"Oh I can see through walls, and buildings, and cars, and garbage cans, and trees..!" Omi then paused as he then looked at the ground, "Ooooh, and I can see underground to..!"
"IT'S BAACK!" Dojo suddenly yelled out, signifying the Serpent's Tail, just as Omi gasped.
"Great ghost of Dashi! The Serpent's Tail!" Omi exclaimed before running into the crowd, Alexis quickly following behind him as the others tried to follow her.
Alexis had to snake around the passing cars in the street as Omi jumped onto them, hearing the other's yells of fear for her and Omi's safety over the horns of the street.
Having grown in both Paris and often visiting this city of bustle, Alexis made sure to be one step ahead of the cars...Which, sadly, equaled to 2 steps behind Omi.
Just as Omi landed on the opposing side-walk, Alexis was still running through the last eighth of the street as the cross-walk turned on.
"NANI! WAIT UP!" Raimundo yelled out to her, yet the Dragon of Nature (in training) didn't listen as she tried to keep up with Omi.
...
..
Only to end up loosing him after 5 streets...Great.
"I'm...I'm so..I'm so'ah'y guys..." Alexis gasped as she pressed her hands to her knees as she tried to catch her breath..
...
"Guys..?" Alexis questioned as she looked behind her, and frowned when she saw none of her friends close.
Well...Crud...
Looking around her, she saw no trees or foliage..Well, none that weren't made of plastic or dead. If there was any hope at finding her friends, she'd have to find the Serpent's Tail first.
With a sigh Alexis walked over to the side-walk's edge, and whistled loudly as she waved her hand. "TAXI!"
"Master Fung should have never trusted me to watch over you kids. Guarding a scroll, that I can do..! Scrolls don't go running off in the middle of Manhattan..!" Dojo exclaimed from at top Clay's head, the cowboy himself trying to stay calm as well.
"We'll find them Dojo. I'm not exactly sure how, but we'll find them." Kimiko tried to comfort the dragon, just as Raimundo offered an idea.
"Maybe Dojo should fly us around to look for Omi. We find him, we'll find Alexis to I bet."
"There's 8 Million people in this city Rai, pretty tough to spot Omi from the sky." Kimiko stated with a matter-of-fact tone in voice, yet Raimundo still stuck to his idea.
"With that bald head, the reflection from the sun should make it easy." Clay suddenly held up a hand as he saw something approach them, cutting off Raimundo and Kimiko's argument.
"Hate ta say it, but ah think we just got spotted ourselves...!" Clay said before the Dragons of Wind and Fire turned around to see Jack (and Wuya) inside a hovercraft. Greaaaat.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Xiaolin Show-offs. Hey, where's Rexi and Opi..?" Jack questioned once he got in hearing range, the group glanced at each other before glaring at Jack.
"Omi and Alexis are-"
"Moments away from getting the Serpent's Tail!" Raimundo declared, cutting off Kimiko...Yet Jack suddenly caught on.
"No way, you lost them didn't you...? Ha, ha! What a bunch of losers! Say, isn't Alexis your girlfriend Clay? How could ya lose her, huh..?" Jack questioned, while Clay blushed a bit at this Kimiko glared at him.
"At least he can get a girlfriend, unlike the boy who makes robot girls and hangs out with a hag!" Raimundo yelled to the 'boy genius', just as Wuya sensed something.
"Jaaaack, the Shen Gong Wu is near." Wuya declared, only for Dojo to confirm this.
"Well, I'd love to stay and mock, but I got a tail to catch. Don't want ya to miss me though, so I'll leave ya with this." Jack then paused as he pressed a button on the head-board of the hovercraft, releasing a few bladed Jack-Bots. "Jack-Bots, attaaaack!"
Alexis would rather be fighting off Jack-Bots then having to do this. Once the Taxi took her where she needed to go (and after she payed), Alexis found herself standing in front of one of the largest buildings here.
The building had sleek reflective blue windows and bright silver painting along the sides, pristine white staircases leading up to the lawyer firm/police station/detective agency. Atop the sliding glass doors, surrounded by planted ficus, was a picture of two blue-birds with the ends of their tails touching, and in the middle of their tails were bright bold letters that proudly read. "Mark Blue-Bird"...
Mark Blue-Bird, or the M.B.B. for short.
With a deep breath Alexis hitched her bag a bit, before walking up the stairs with a straight face. She shuffled through the lobby, flashing her I.D. to the secretary, who stared at her with alarming wide eyes.
"I-I-I'll send you right up, Miss Nanise." the petite red-head nervously said before fumbling around and giving Alexis a full-access visitors pass, which she placed on her sleeve before walking through the building and towards the elevator. This'll be interesting.
"Awww what's that smell..?" Raimundo asked as the group came down into the tunnels of the express railway, Dojo having lead them here.
"I don't even want to speculate." Kimiko hastly replied, before they all looked around the trashed joint.
"Hey, anybody see an evil boy genius and ah see-through witch...?" Clay questioned the space around them, maybe there were people down here.
"No, and I'd think they'd stand out in this crowd." Dojo clarified, there was nobody else but them it seemed...Suddenly, the dragon started to vibrate and jostle around in place.
"Uh..Guys..? Shen Gong Wu!" Dojo exclaimed as he pointed at one of the tunnel entrances, only for the gang to just get a small glimpse at the Wu as it flew past them at break-neck speed.
"Whooo-wee! That thang moved faster than ah turkey on Thanksgivin' day." Clay declared after adjusting his hat a bit, just as Dojo slithered forward and onto the rails.
"Yeah, it's really truckin'..!" Dojo agreed, while the Dragon Warriors came to the side of the actual floor of the station.
"Dojo, don't go down there! The subway trains!" Kimiko almost yelled as she pointed to one of the entrances, yet the dragon just shrugged the warning off.
"Relaaaax, this station is obviously close. There're no trains runnin' down." Dojo suddenly stopped speaking when the ground beneath him started to shake and the sound of a train coming expanded in front of him, "Here..."
Dojo then watched with wide-eyes as a train headed towards him, causing him to become strickin' still with fear as he yelled. Thankfully Clay had his handy-dandy lasso on hand, and roped the dragon out of danger.
Alexis sighed as she walked into the blue-themed room of her brother's office...Wait, scratch that...Of the head of the M.B.B.'s office, yeah...No, wait that was wrong to wasn't it. How about, she was stuffed inside the suffocating room her of PICTURE-PERFECT BROTHER?.!
The room had blue/grey reflective tiled walls, dark blue/royal purple carpet, a wall-sized window (and trust her when she say, it was a biiiiig window), a dark blue desk-set (desk-top, computer, chair, lamp, etc.), and a few chairs before the desk-set. Along the lines were plaques of honor, a few degrees in law and criminal justice, a noble peace prize to is she were to look, the Wizard of Oz's magic cape was hidden there also probably, and a large bookcase filled with (of course) books and a few pictures of the family...Only 1 of the 25 containing her.
"Hello Angeline." the deep baritone voice greeted as the desk's chair was pointed towards the window, her brother not facing her as she entered. Why should he...? The two hated each other to no end...Besides, it wasn't like his face wasn't on EVERY STINKIN BILLBOARD IN THIS CITY!
"'ello Ca'h'lisle." Alexis replied, the 2 using the others middle names was something that they had grown used to...Just due to the fact, that both didn't want to say the other's given first name. While Alexis had been named after their great-great-grandmother on father's side (she may have missed a generation, she never knew), Mark was named after their great-great-grandfather on their father's side also...Uggggh.
"To what do I owe this...Please..?" Mark asked before spinning the chair, his blue eyes catching Alexis'.
Mark was a rather handsome 22-year old with dark brown skin like the rest of their family, yet he had short clean-cut dark brown hair like Stanford and their father's mother...Stupid carrying traits...He wore a dashing black suit, a white undershirt, a dark blue tie, golden cuff-links, and (of course) in his left breast pocket was a white handkerchief that had a blue-bird symbol on it.
The blue-bird was the classical symbol of their family, and nearly everything the family owned (or processed) had a blue-bird symbol (or something of the sort) somewhere on it. Yet Alexis was the one given the family's blue-bird earrings, of course. She was the only daughter to their family, her father had no one else to give them to.
"I 'ave become sep'ah'ated from my f'ah'ends...'oo a'he also sep'ah'ated from anozer one of my f'ah'end...And I need to ooz zee subway cam'ah'as to locate zem." Alexis declared bravely as she stood before her brother, older and wiser blue eyes clashing with younger and stricter ones.
"And if I don't...?" Mark asked, he had long ago lost his accent, due to him only being in France for half the time the others due to his work. Alexis bit the inside of her cheek at her brother's cocky expression, how much trouble would she be in if she dangled him out of the window...?
...
..
.
"If you do not 'elp me, zen I'll tell mama what 'eally 'appened at yo'ah 20th birthday pa'h'ty." Alexis growled back, Mark paled at this before picking up the desk's phone.
"It's me, get me feeds to all the servance cameras in the subway NOW!" Mark yelled into the phone, and after muttering a few words to the person on the other line, he hanged up.
"Have you been keeping up with your schedule and medication...?" Mark asked as he rummaged through his desk as he pulled out a remote, before pressing a button. 2 pans on the lest wall then opened up to reveal almost 30 TVs...
"Oui, I 'ave." Alexis whispered as she went over to the TVs and skimmed over them, just as Mark dialed another person on his phone.
"I'll get you a new prescription, how many pills do you have left...?"
"'ow many days 'as it been since ve last saw each ozah..?" Mark stared at his sister's back a bit, before sighing as he talked to the doctor on the phone line.
Alexis blinked suddenly when she saw a flash of green skim through the subways, following behind a black/grey/and yellow train.
"Mark, keep me updated on zeez two trains, Oui..?" Alexis stated as she pointed to the 2 trains, if her hunch was right.
"What?" Mark snappped back with surprise, before yelling when he saw his sister suddenly jump out of the window.
Alexis flipped open her phone and dialed her brother's office number, having picked it up from one of his many business cards on his desk, as she pulled out the Tao Choker from her backpack.
"TAO CHOKER!" Alexis screamed out, ignoring all the panicked looks from the people inside the building as she flew past them.
"NATURE!" with her elemental powers in-tuned with the choker, 5 of the ficus at the building's entrance suddenly grew into a thick layer and-
crunch
Alexis sighed when she heard the leaved crush underneath her, thankful that it wasn't her bones, before apologizing to the plants as she placed her cell phone to her ear.
"WHAT THE HECK?.!" Mark yelled at her, before screaming and cursing in French and a bit of German.
"DI'AH'ECTIONS MA'HK!" Alexis shouted back, before her brother grumbled as he went over to the TV.
"Get down town, and hurry."
"Exp'ah'ess t'ain..?"
"Sure, go with that. You got change..?"
Alexis ran through the streets of the broken-down neighborhood, the buildings and bricks unsettling her a bit. Who would be in a place like this...?
"Am I, as you say, bling-blinging..?" Alexis suddenly stopped her motions when she heard that voice, OMI?.!
"Uh...Ma'h'k..? I'll call you back, if I need you.." Alexis muttered into the phone, ignoring her brother's protest as she closed it, slipped the device into her backpack, and peeked the corner...Only to snap a picture of Omi in his city clothes, he looked adorable~.
"Defiantly." Omi's companion stated, Alexis straightened up and slowly came around the corner.
"Omi..?" Alexis questioned, making Omi look behind him and grin at her face.
"SISTER!" Omi happily yelled out before running to the French-girl, who hugged him.
"Whoa, Omi-dog, this is your sister...?" Omi's friend asked with a shocked face, Alexis gave him a small smile.
"Spi'ah'tually. I am Alexis, and you..?" Alexis asked as she hugged Omi with one arm, her other hand formed a fist that was held out to the mystery boy.
"Jermaine, nice ta meet ya." Jermaine stated as he bumped fists with Alexis, and after the brief introduction Omi turned to the New-Yorker.
"Jermaine, while I enjoy, representing...Alexis and I must not let it divert from our quest..!" Omi declared, making Alexis remember why they were here in the first place...She had been so preoccupied trying to find everyone, that she lost track of finding the Serpent's Tail!...Dang, the surveillance cameras would have been helpful. Uhm...If the tail had stayed underground, that is.
"For this...Serpent's tail thing..?" Jermaine asked, causing Alexis to stop and stare at him. HE KNOWS?.!
"Correct, look for anything strange." Omi instructed Jermaine, who shared a look with Alexis.
"Eaziah said zen done mon petit frere.." Alexis grumbled under her voice as she, Jermaine nodded his head as they followed a bit behind Omi.
"Omi dawg, this is New York..! Strange here is normal." was all Jermaine could say before the 3 of them stopped to stare when a greenish object suddenly came through the ground. THE SERPENT'S TAIL!
The Shen Gong Wu bounced through the basketball court they were in, causing Alexis to dodge over it and Jermaine and Omi...To hug each other..?
"But this might qualify..." Jermaine finished his sentence, just as Omi released the boy.
"The Serpent's Tail!" Omi called out before jumping at the Shen Gong Wu, Alexis close behind him...Only for both to miss. Yet while Omi fell flat on his face, Alexis turned on her heel and ran after the Tail before jumping...And having her face meet her protective hands, which also met the asphalt..How could this get wierder...?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Omi yelled out, causing Alexis to roll over onto her back and stare up at the large Mecha-like machine that arose from the ground..Seriously.? What was this? Transformers; attack of the Shen Gong Wu?
"Yeaaaah this is definatly strange...I'm guessin' these aren't the good guys.." Jermaine said as she pointed to the machine, which was created to look fairly similar to a certain (self-proclaimed) evil boy-genius.
"Oui, you'd be 'ight." Alexis declared as she stood on the other side of Jermaine, just as her and Omi got prepared to fight...The mecha paid no attention to them though, and simply held out it's metal hand to catch the Serpent's Tail. Yet from the yellowish orb in the center of the chest piece, one could juuuuust make out the silhouette of Jack Spicer.
Once the mecha grabbed the Tail, however, it menacingly turned to face Alexis, Jermaine, and Omi..Before lifting it's right arm a bit as the arm started to glow, IT WAS GONNA BLAST THEM!
"Omi, Alexis, dawgs maybe we should run." Jermaine stated as he touched both the Xiaolin Warrior's arms, Alexis nodded her head in agreement as she picked up Omi and gripped Jermain's ha-
From about 20-30 feet away Dojo suddenly arose from the ground, making Jermaine and Omi yell out in surprise while Alexis 'whoop' happily. THE CAVALIERLY!
Without a second thought Dojo bumped into the mecha, causing it to fall backwards...Making Alexis have to grip Jermaine as she hightailed it out of the falling leg's way, Omi gripping onto her supportive arm for dear life.
Yet because of the robot falling, the tail was also released.
"That's a...Dragon..?" Jermaine asked as Dojo started to shrink down, all the other Xiaolin Warriors on his back started to get off.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow..! Told ya it chaffed." Dojo complained to the 3 Xialoin Warriors, rubbing away the burning red marks on his underside.
"OUI!" Alexis happily chimed to Jermaine before running up to the group, Dojo suddenly glared at her a bit as he put his hands on his 'hips'.
"Alexis, Oooooh where have you been..? We've been worried sick about you and Omi and-" Dojo stopped talking when Alexis picked him up and hugged him, a smile on her face.
"I missed you also, Dojo." Alexis whispered happily, causing the dragon to sigh as he hugged the French-Girl...Who then 'eeped' a bit when Clay suddenly picked her up in a bear-hug.
"Where've you been little missy..? Ya made us more worried than mah Dojo when he's about to miss his shows!" Clay exclaimed to the French-girl, giving Dojo enough time to slip out of her grip as Raimundo tightly hugged Omi.
"You're alive..! Don't you ever scare us like that again..! We were so worried like," Raimundo suddenly paused his drama-queen moment when he felt everyone's confused stares on him, quickly he put Omi down. "What...? I was worried."
"As was I." Alexis blinked suddenly at the voice, before looking over Clay's shoulder and gasping.
"Ma'h'k..?" everyone now turned around, all of them shocked at the man who was walking away from a sleek black limo, a black box in his hands.
"You know this guy Alexis?" Kimiko asked the Nature Dragon, who was still being hugged by Clay.
"Oui...Sadly.." Alexis responded before she whispered for Clay to put her down, with a small nod of the head Clay placed Alexis on her feet.
"Vat a'h you doing 'ere..?" Alexis hissed to her brother, who held out the box.
"Your medicine refills and simply because, YOU DON'T HANG UP ON ME!" Mark yelled out, Clay suddenly stepped in front of Alexis and glared a bit at the equal-his-height man.
"Now listen here partner, ah may not know who ya are or what ya are to Alexis. But you got no right to talk to her like that and-"
"HELLO!.? Someone wanna get this Shen Gong Wu..?" Dojo exclaimed as he held onto the Serpent's Tail's...Well, tail, before slipping off..Mark was left standing there with wide-eyes as all of the Xiaolin Warriors and Jermaine once again tried to catch it, yet only Omi caught the Tail's tail...Just as Jack stopped the head.
"Omi, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." Jack declared as the tail started to glow, Mark looked towards Alexis, who was being helped off the ground by Clay.
"I'll explain latah...Maybe." Alexis commented to her brother, just as Omi whined a bit.
"Jack Spicer, why are you always up in my buisiness..?"
This commercial brought to you by; the M.B.B., here to solve all your problems with the law, of the law, and for the law no matter what...Except for in real-life.
"Name your challenge." Omi told the red-headed boy, who looked around a bit before his eye caught the basketball hoop.
"Basketball, one on one, 10 minutes on the clock. My Jetbutso against your Mantis Flip Coin." Jack happily declared, Omi seemed a bit...Troubled by this information.
"But...I-I do not know how to play this game of baskets and balls." Omi stated plainly, yet Jermaine had his back.
"I do, put me in the game." Jermaine happily spoke, Clay then questioned who he was. While Kimiko responded, Alexis was trying to calm down her panicking brother.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?.!" Mark yelled as he looked at the Serpent's Tail, before Alexis slapped him before he could start hyperventilating.
"No, no way..! I challanged you Omi, not this kid!" Jack told Omi and Jermaine, yet the street-wise boy wasn't so easy to back down.
"Awww you afraid of gettin' whooped little boy..?" Jermaine hotly replied, Raimundo and Alexis both agreed that they liked him...Yet.
"Jack Spicer is right, only I can accept a challenge." Omi then paused, before an idea struck him. "Unless.."
"Unless what..?" Jack quickly questioned, wanting to know more.
"Unless I challenge you to a Shen Yi Bu dare..! Me and Jermaine against you and-"
"Who? Wuya?" Jack asked, cutting off Omi. Wuya then declared that she couldn't use her hands since..Well, her being a ghost and all. But Alexis couldn't help but feel her stomach do a flip when she saw Jack and Wuya suddenly grin.
"And no game, but don't worry. I got the answer." Jack happily spoke before pressing a button on his wrist, reactivating the mecha as it stood up. Alexis then glanced behind her when she heard her brother hyperventilating...Greaaaaaat. Alexis grumbled underneath her breath as she walked over to her brother and crouched down beside him, making sure he didn't fall over or stop breathing.
"My Jetbutsu and Shroud of Shadows against your Matis Flip Coin and-"
"The Falcon's Eye is the only other Shen Gong Wu I am possesing." Omi cut Jack off, while Alexis felt the Water Dragon's eyes glance at her...Heh..Okaaaay, so maybe her taking the Choker without telling the others wasn't such a good idea.
"That'll do." Jack stated happily, Clay asked the others if they were worried, turned out the other Dragon Warriors were, just as Alexis tried to calm down her brother.
"Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!"
Alexis' eye twitched as her brother breathed into the paper bag after the Showdown was set up, and continued to pat his back through the first part of the game.
"DEFENSE! DEFENSE!" Wuya yelled out, making Mark pale at the sight of her.
"What the HECK is that thing...?" Mark asked his sister, who sighed a bit.
"It'll take less tahme to just zit and watch, zen to explain evahyzing.." Alexis told her brother, Mark only stared at her before going back to watching the odd scene before him.
Dunk after pass after point, everything was all tied up.
28-28
"Jermaine, we are doing well..! Perhaps I have obtained game!" Omi happily said as he and Jermaine ran across the lines of the basketball court, Mark quirked an eyebrow to his sister.
"OBtained game...?"
"Do not ask Ca'h'lisle..."
"It's got game, Omi, and yeaaaah you definatly-" Jermaine stopped talking when he was suddenly stepped on by the mecha's foot, causing him to stop and get smooshed...Yet not so much as to be killed, just to be held down.
"Got no chance!" Jack finished off for Jermaine, before taking the basketball from the pressed-down boy and using the Jetbutsu to rocket out. Jermaine yelled out Omi's name, before flipping the Mantis Coin towards the Temple Boy.
Everything went into slow-motion suddenly as the coin flipped, yet it went back to normal once Omi caught it.
"MANTIS FLIP COIN!" Omi yelled out, just as Jack released the basketball to shoot. 11 seconds on the clock!
Omi jumped in between the basketball and the basket, slamming his head into the rubber ball and sending it flying towards Jack.
10
The basketball hit Jack's face, making the evil boy genius to fall. Yet as Jack was getting up, he was once again slammed down when Omi stomped on his back to gain leverage to regain the ball.
9
Omi captured the ball in mid-flip, before flipping towards the Mecha as it formed it's hand over the other to block Omi's shot.
8
Yet the Temple-boy accounted for this, and jumped atop the folded hands, sending the Mecha backwards and Omi towards the Xiaolin's Goal.
7
Omi bounced off the basket for the Xiaolin side, and zoomed towards the opponents goal.
6
"YEAAAH!" the group for the Xiaolin Side happily yelled as they watched Omi in action, Mark holding up a shaking thumb.
5
Jermaine and Jack looked up to watch the moment, Jermaine with a grin on his face while Jack's was in pain.
4
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Wuya yelled out angrily, banging her wound-up fists against her head. Forgetting for a moment that, well..She was a ghost.
3
Omi pulled back his hands as he neared the basket, ready to dunk.
2
Gravity and the Mantis Flip Coin were on the Xiaolin's side then and there as Omi sinked the ball through the basket. "HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
1
30-28
"Wooo-HOOO! Final score, Heyline 28, Xiaolin 30!" Kimiko happily exclaimed as Clay gave bear-hugs to Alexis and Raimundo, both who were happy as can be.
"Uuugh." Jack whimpered as he fell to the ground, Wuya all the while was yelling her uh...Head off..?
"Oh-yeah!" Omi happily cheered as he and Jermaine shared a high-five, before he got into the passed-out Jack's face. "We win! Say my name, Jack Spicer! Ooooh I have angry skills!"
"Mad skills." Jermaine quickly corrected Omi, who gave him a smile.
"Correct!" Omi chimed, before the basketball, which had been the Serpent's tale, suddenly glowed as everyone went blind for a moment.
"Who, what, when, where, sometimes why..?" Mark asked once everything went to normal, Alexis sighed at him as she helped the grown-man up.
"Bettah to just zit and watch." Alexis whispered to her brother, who blinked before fainting...Yep, this was her brother all right (Chapter 2, when she fainted)...
"I was so robbed..!" Jack complained as he sat on the basketball court, his elbows resting on his knees.
"Were you..? I am beginning to suspect YOU DON'T HAVE GAME AT ALL!" Wuya practically screamed at the evil-boy genius, both of them looked like they had enough of the other.
"Omi dawg, your size it too tight..!" Jermaine exclaimed as the Xiaolin Warriors gathered around the basketball player and their team mate, who held all the earned Wu.
"Should I loosen it..?" Omi questioned his new friend, who chuckled a bit as he bowed.
"Most definatly not, my friend."
Just as Omi and Jermaine were saying their farewells, Alexis was walking Mark back to his limo.
"Does mom or dad even know what you do with these guys..?" Mark asked his little sister, whose eyes fogged up a bit.
"Non, y-you knov vhat papa vould say..A-And mama would 'ave a 'eaht attack p'ah'bably..." Alexis whispered to her brother, who stared down at her before sighing once they came to the sleek black vehicle.
"I know I can't ask you, of all people, to be careful...So..Just, promise you won't loose any limbs okay Angeline..?" Mark requested to the shorter girl as he a butler-like person opened the door for him, Alexis smirked a tiny bit.
"I...I nevah knew you ca'h'ed..."
"I don't it's just...Just that mom and dad would kill me if they knew that I know what's really going on, and I didn't stop you.." Mark stated, yet before Alexis could reply Dojo yelled out to her.
"COME ON ALEXIS!" Dojo yelled out to her, before going off to say that a new Shen Gong Wu was coming up...Or, it could just be a bad hot dog the dragon had eaten. Alexis nodded to him before glancing at her brother, who had been staring at Clay..
...
..
"Angelo was right, mom would like him...Dad, who knows.." Mark muttered under his breath, smirking at his sister's blush as he put a black bag into her hands. Alexis quirked an eyebrow at this, before looking up to the older man.
"Medicine's already in there, some souvenirs, a camera, video camera, some CDs, a few DVDs...And a few plant seeds."
"Why...?" Mark smiled down at his little sister then, before ruffling her hair.
"Just take it and go...I...I love you."
"...Je t'aime.." with that Alexis raised up onto her tip-toes and kissed her brother's cheek, before running off towards the Dojo.
"PEACE ON!" Omi yelled out after Jermaine gave him the basketball once they started to raise up into the sky, Raimundo corrected him.
"Peace out..."
"THAT TO!" Omi happily exclaimed, before Kimiko turned to Alexis.
"Alexis, you never told us. Who was that guy you were with...?" Kimiko questioned the black-bag clutching girl, Raimundo nodded his head while looking around.
"Serious, man...The guy's got his face on every billboard in this city! Conceited much...?"
"Or, maybe just a class-act narcissist..?" Dojo added in with Dojo, before everyone but Alexis agreed happily.
"Actually, zat waz my brozah, Ma'h'k."...Well, that killed the mood.
"So...I was threatinin'..." Clay started out, Alexis smirked a bit at him.
"My brozah...? Oui, you did...And, I'm actually 'appy about zat...I 'ate my brozah most times." Alexis declared with a small smile, Omi quirked his head a bit.
"And the other times, sister...?"
"I tol'ah'ate 'im." with that the group couldn't help but laugh, before Dojo shook a bit again.
"Okaaay, maybe it is a Shen Gong Wu." Dojo commented, that was when the warriors nodded towards each other.
"We're ready to go, Dojo my man..!"
"Let's get 'er done..!"
"Let's go grab some Wu!...Can I change when we get there, though..?"
"Let us depart with heads held high..!"
"Oui, we've got zee Heyline beat."
Dojo chuckled a bit at the group on his back, before flying off through the sky with a smile on his face.
