Chapter 14

The Dragon Of Ice

The night was dark, and there many stars in the sky. The moon shone as bright as a million diamonds.

Omi could not sleep, and Dojo was keeping watch of Jack and Darcie, just in case they decided to 'take a visit'.

"Dojo, do you think there are other Xiaolin Dragons out there?" Omi asked.

"Oh yeah. Lots. But Master Fung couldn't find the other ones for some reason. The reincarnations must have not of been strong. You know, Dashi and Guan were Xiaolin Warriors."

"Of course I knew that." Omi said.

"But what you didn't know, that Milah was wanted to be a dragon, even though she didn't have the powers to."

"What? Really? Why did she not take the position?"

Dojo shrugged. "I don't know."

Omi thought. "Hm...maybe we should find the other dragons!"

"What? Now how are you going to do that?"

"I shall find a way..."

In The morning...

The four monks sat at the table and ate breakfast.

Omi stood up. "My fellow Xiaolin monks, I have an announcement!"

"Well can your announcement get off my rice?" Rai asked.

Omi continued. "We must find the other Xiaolin Monks! Dojo told me there are others. We cannot let them go to evil!"

"There are others?" Kimiko asked.

"More help means more kicking butt!" Rai said.

Somewhere...

"Lu Lu! I want some ice cream!" A little girl said, as she pulled onto her big sister's sun dress.

"Katrina, hold on!" Lu Lu laughed. "Your lucky I have some money. Lead!"

Katrina lead Lu Lu through the market. The trees around them were tropical with lots of flowers. The beach was in the background.

Lu Lu had beautiful white hair. But it wasn't old hair, it was young and beautiful. She was wearing a plain white sundress, with some lace at the bottom. Her sandals were white also. She looked about 9, but was really mature.

Her little sister had reddish orange with a hint of brown hair. She had a pink flower in her hair, with a yellow sundress and pink sandals. Katrina looked about 5 or 6.

The girls got to the ice cream stand.

"Sir, I'd-" Lu Lu began, but the ice cream looked hot and it was melting. Lu Lu smiled and flicked her hand at the ice cream, and it turned cold and unmelted. "Sir, I'd like a strawberry ice cream please."

The man, who looked old sighed. "I'm sorry but...oh." He saw the ice cream. "OK then, that will be a dollar and five cents." He scooped up the ice cream and put it in a cone.

Lu Lu handed him the change while Katrina chomped the ice cream down.

"Katrina, I'm gonna walk you home, OK?" Lu Lu said.

Katrina shook her head. "Remember? Stacey and Katie and all the others are going to Dena's sleepover, and I'm invited!"

Lu Lu laughed. "OK. And here comes Katie."

Katrina waved her hand good-bye.

After Katrina was gone, Lu Lu sighed. "Glad that's over with. Now to have some private time!" Lu Lu began walking to the beach.

Where The Xiaolin Monks Are...

Dojo was flying Omi and Clay. Kimiko and Rai were left to guard the Shen Gon Wu.

Dojo panted. "Were gonna have to stop here soon...I think Hawaii is coming up."

"Don't worry, partner. Feel free to stop...when there's land." Clay said, as he looked at the open sea.

Back At The Beach...

It was sunset, the water sparkling, the horizon red, orange and purple. Lu Lu sat under a palm tree, and a small puddle of sparkling water beside her.

She opened and closed her hand above the puddle, making it turn into ice and back to the liquid form.

Dojo landed in a cluster of palm trees, away from the beach, but close to Katrina's sleepover.

Katrina was half asleep, and didn't say anything, and didn't see anything, but saw the two monks come out of the palm trees. Dojo was probably hiding.

She saw the robes Clay and Omi wore, and ran up to them. "What funny close you guys wear! Where are you from?"

"We are from the Xiaolin Temple, young one. May I ask you, have you seen someone that has the ability of turning water into ice?"

Katrina laughed. "No! That's funny. But my sister, Lu Lu is a bit...weird. If you want to see her, she hangs out at the beach over there." Katrina pointed toward the beach.

Omi bowed. "Thank you!" And he and Clay ran to the beach.

Lu Lu heard someone coming, and sat there, pretending to be asleep.

Omi saw her, and poked her. "Excuse me..um..excuse me?"

Lu Lu got annoyed. "What?"

"Pardon my friend little lady, but are you Lu Lu?" Clay asked.

"Yeah...why?" Lu Lu asked suspiciously.

"We are Xiaolin Warriors from the Xiaolin Temple. We hold powers...powers to defeat evil. There are missing warriors, and we think you are one. Your sister said you can turn water into ice." Omi said.

"What did you do to my sister!" Lu Lu got up, and was ready to freeze them.

"Now, hold on. We didn't do anything to your sister." Clay said.

Lu Lu relaxed, but didn't let her guard down. "And?"

"We want you to come to the Xiaolin Temple, and help us defeat evil, if you are the missing warrior." Omi said.

"Pfft! As if. I don't have any powers." Lu Lu said.

"I see...Water!" Omi yelled. The water from the sea flew toward Lu Lu.

Lu Lu gasped. She held her hands above her head, and it turned to ice and fell beside her.

"Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! She is the one of the missing warriors." Clay said.

Lu Lu sighed. "Fine, you caught me. But...I can't leave my sister. My father abused her, and will unless I take the hit."

"We'll just have to talk the man straight!" Clay said.

"Yes! No father should do that." Omi said.

Lu Lu smiled. "But where should Katrina stay?"

"Well...she could live with a friend...or my aunt will probably take her in." Clay suggested.

"We'll go with the friend thing, cowboy." Lu Lu said. "Follow me, and we can settle things. Um...yellow one, you come with me, cowboy, you talk to my dad."

At The Sleepover...

"Katie's mom said no, dad is in jail, Stacey's mom said no, Jackie's mom and dad will think about it, and so will Sara's mom." Katrina said, out of breathe.

Lu Lu carried a small, white, back pack. "This is all I have, so here we go. What plane do we get on?"

Omi laughed. "We do not get on a plane. We get on Dojo."

"Dojo?" Lu Lu asked.

Clay lifted up his hat. There slept Dojo.

"Huh...what?" Dojo said. "Oh. Yeah. Surprise, you'll be riding on flight Dojo. As in, I'm a dragon and you'll be riding on me."

Lu Lu laughed uncomfortably.

And, on Dojo, she fainted into Clay's arms.

At The Xiaolin Temple...

At the temple, Rai and Kim ran toward Dojo.

Lu Lu(conscious again) and Omi and Clay got off.

"Hey! Nice to meet you." Kimiko said with a smile. Lu Lu and her shook each others hands. "I'm Kimiko, but call me Kim if you need to."

Lu Lu smiled. "I am Lu Lu. Call me...Lu Lu."

"And I'm Raimundo, call me Rai." Rai stepped in.

Omi bowed. "And I am Omi. The 'cowboy' is Clay. We shall explain everything tomorrow morning."
