Chapter 14

Back at the Xiaolin Temple the Sora, Donald, Goofy and the monks were all in the medical wing of the temple united in their concern for Crystal.

"Crystal how are you feeling?" Sora asked the xiaolin dragon of ice.

"I'm okay and here's the irony." Crystal explained, "I get rescued by the guy who's Nobody was putting me through 3 weeks of tortured captivity."

"It's good to see that you're starting to recover girl but back to Organization XIII." Jermaine responded, "They were doing what to you?"

"Well it's hard to be absolutely certain Jermaine but it seems they were keeping me locked up in isolation for 24 hours for the first week. Not only that but they were also using me as a suspended organic power source." Crystal explained.

"Pardon me but what is this suspended organic power source?" Omi asked not meaning to interrupt his girlfriend's explanation of her captivity.

"It sounds like they were using her as a battery." Goofy answered leaving everyone especially Dojo and Donald stunned how Goofy could understand the meaning of a suspended organic power source.

"Oy why didn't Crystal just say so!" Dojo yelled only to receive a death glare from Omi.

"I'm sure you all have questions for Crystal but I think it's best we let her get back to telling us what went on while she was in the Nilyeh City." Master Fung spoke.

"Thank you now where was I oh right." Crystal said resuming where she left off in her explanation. "After the Organization used me as a battery they the female member of the group suggested they break me in a little."

"Clearly, those heartless creeps they have not honor tormenting a poor defenseless girl!" Omi yelled once again in the middle of the story.

"Omi calm down and let me finish." Crystal soothed, "Now back to Organization XIII. After the female suggested to break me in they started to get fresh with me but before they could Valonia got fresh with them and kicked most of their butts to teach them a lesson but they did not tarnish and or deflower me even though they did make me dance for the Key of Destiny. Afterwards I overheard the youngest member say that if he could not torture me Zexion could at least destroy the prisoners' gift of the tongues."

"Sounds like you were put though more pain than a cowboy riding a raging bull through a china shop." Clay remarked.

"Thank you for that interesting translation Clay." Crystal responded, "Anyway the Organization's superior gave Vexen a glowing indigo crystal the next day and I believe that I somehow powered it. Does this explanation of what happened mean anything to you Master Fung?"

"Perhaps Crystal perhaps," Master Fung answered, "What I do know is that we need to free the other xiaolin dragons before Sora's enemies and the heylin forces can power anymore of those crystals."

"Well what are we waiting for lets get going." Omi said and he was about to rush out the door but Donald stopped him.

"Hey you palooka, Shouldn't we have Sora train first?" Donald asked.

"Donald's right Omi," Master Fung spoke up, "while it is wise for us to train Sora now we cannot proceed to train him in the next element yet."

"Why can we not train Sora yet Master Fung?" Omi asked questioning look on his big yellow head.

"Because we would have to find the Dragon of Ice Keyblade hidden in Iceland and from how the others have gone active we'd have to go to New York first to find the Dragon of Gravity keyblade." Dojo answered to the slang challenged monk.

"Dojo's right Omi. We have to prepare Sora as much as we can but because of my current state we cannot train him in the use of my element of ice." Crystal added.

"So what do we do now?" Sora asked not knowing that he was still wearing the Cats Eye Draco on his left arm and the Mirror Deflector on his right arm and as if on cue the Mirror Deflector started to shine bright indigo and on impulse Sora found that he knew precisely what to do.

"Mirror Deflector!" the keyblade master yelled and this time the shen gong wu allowed him to fire a torrent of ice at a plant.

"What just happened here with the elemental wu?" Dagwood asked after seeing Sora use the mirror deflector successfully.

"Sora's victory in the showdown for the Corona Aurora and saving Crystal has proven him worthy to use her elemental wu." Master Fung wisely imputed.

"So does that mean by freeing the other dragons Sora can use their elemental wu as well as ours?" Jack summed up.

"That pretty much sounds like it." Raimundo answered to jack.

"If that's the case then we should have no problem taking on the Heylin Dragons and Organization XIII." Donald stated.

Speaking of Organization XIII and the heylin forces, Valonia was busy yelling at Vexen the Chilly Academic for his failure in the showdown for the Corona Aurora.

"Man Vexen you tell me to respect my elders yet you can't even defeat a kid." Axel the Flurry of Dancing Flames remarked.

"Well excuse me Sir I-know-everything-about-being-a-hothead but none of us asked you!" Zexion the Cloaked Schemer shot back rudely to Axel.

"Well what about you professor. You, Lexaeus and Vexen all said that getting the Crown of the Gods was so important that Valonia should have put one of you in charge and look what happened." Marluxia the Graceful Assassin said standing up for Axel.

"No wonder Xemnas placed you in charge of Castle Oblivion Marluxia." Xigbar the Free shooter responded after hearing the others have their play.

"You don't hear this from me but Xigbar is right." Xaldin the Whirlwind Lancer added. "Xemnas did make the right choice making you the Lord of the Castle."

"If you're done talking about Marluxia can we please get back to discussing what we're going to do about Vexen's most humiliating defeat?" Heylin Omi asked as he and the other Heylin Dragons were present in the throne room.

"Normally you never hear this from me but the little Ouza is right." Heylin Lu answered. "Personally I think we should burn him to a crisp."

"As much as I'd like to agree with my granddaughter in the idea of burning Vexen I think that would be crude and barbaric." Valonia spoke, "however, I'm not his commanding officer so I'll leave his fate to Xemnas."

"Now it's my turn to speak." Xemnas the Superior said flatly, "While Vexen did lose the Dragon Staff and the Crown of the Gods he has shown great mastery of the staff and he's already shown that he's better at converting energy into crystals."

"So what are you saying?" Chase asked flatly.

"What I'm saying is that instead of being executed'" Xemnas spoke, "He shall spend the next keyblade hunt working on powering another crystal along with Lexaeus and Zexion while the heylin dragons will provide any assistance they need from now on."

"Well this is just great." Heylin Lu complained after Valonia dismissed her and the other heylin dragons from the throne room, "Now we have to listen to a bunch of old fossils. I was expecting a capital punishment!"

"As much as I like a good capital punishment in the morning my sweet Butter cup." Heylin Rai responded, "We do need Vexen alive if we are going to try and gain control over our xiaolin halves and take both Kung sites but that doesn't mean we can't undermine him and the rest of Organization XIII for what they did to you and the girls."

"What are you saying?" Heylin Jermaine asked the Heylin Prince, "We're just going to mess with their minds and get them in trouble with your granny or something and then I suppose we're going to deceptively plead amnesia?"

"That's the plan dude." Heylin Rai simply said.

Meanwhile, Vexen, Lexaeus and Zexion had already powered another crystal using Kimiko's firepower and were about to forge another crystal from Lu's power.

"Well that's 2 crystals you powered up so far and the next keyblade has not even reveled itself." Lexaeus said as Vexen was just getting the energy cage prepared.

"It's like I told Larxene back in Castle Oblivion." The Chilly Academic explained, "I'm a scientist so naturally I'm best suited for stuff like this."

"Well I'll go get the next xiaolin dragon for the process." Zexion said and with that, he disappeared to go get the xiaolin dragon of lightning for the creation of the next power crystal only to find Demyx sleeping on the job and the xiaolin dragons nowhere in sight.

"Demyx, Where are the Xiaolin Dragons?" Zexion asked as soon as the Melodious Nocturne woke up from his nap.

"I don't know aren't they still in the force field?" Demyx asked sleepily only to find that the dragons had disappeared.

"Apparently, they're gone." The Cloaked Schemer replied until he heard four screaming voices above his head.

"You might want to move to the left dude." Xigbar said as he suddenly made his appearance and as if on cue four girls in xiaolin robes fell in a tangled mess before the three organization members.

"Xigbar where is the xiaolin dragon of fire?" Zexion asked only seeing four xiaolin dragons all out cold.

"Well about that," the Freeshooter started to explain only to find himself Zexion and Demyx teleported in a silver colored version of the dark seal to Valonia's throne room.

"Ow you could have sent a warning first." Demyx yelled not knowing that he was yelling at the Heylin empress who just glared at him.

"Forgive Demyx," Zexion started, "he is impulsive at times yet he does have common sense sometimes."

"Enough with the chit chat." Chase interrupted. "Wuya has sensed that the Dragon of Gravity keyblade has just revealed it self in New York City."

"So what are we waiting for Dudes lets go on this road trip." Xigbar spoke and as if on cue Roxas had already fused with Heylin Jermaine and used a spell seal to send them right in the middle of the Caribbean Festival but unknown to anyone in the throne room Kimiko managed to sneak onto the spell seal and got herself teleported with them.

When the spell seal finished Xigbar and Dark Gravity Form Roxas who was now wearing black and silver robes with a full moon on each sleeve ended up in the Manhattan staring in aw at the place they were to start looking for the keyblade.

"Roxas next time you change form and fuse with one of the heylin dragons give me and the rest of us a warning okay." Xigbar asked Dark Gravity Form Roxas who just simply reverted to Roxas and Heylin Jermaine and nodded in response.

"I'll remember that next time," The Key of Destiny responded not noticing a now visible Kimiko bolting for the nearest alley trying to figure out what the trio of gravity wielders was planning.

"So what's going on?" Xigbar asked, "Is there some kind of festival going on because I see a banner saying that there is and that there's a talent show going on."

"What banner and what talent show?" Roxas asked turning to see a banner saying that the New York annual Caribbean festival was today with a talent show included.

"Hey look the banner states that the winner of the talent show gets first prize which happens to be the keyblade we're here to collect." Xigbar noted not knowing that Kimiko had heard everything and sent a text message on her PDA to her boyfriend.

"Great job and to make sure we get the blade I think that there's someone who would like to meet us." Roxas spoke and before his allies could answer he was already back with a bound and gagged Kimiko in his arms squealing inaudible curses in her native tongue of Japanese.

"Um dudes I think she's saying that she doesn't have anything to give and even if she did she'll never give it to you freaks." Xigbar attempted to translate.

"Sound to me like you want it Kimiko. You know you want it and you know you want me to give it to you." Roxas pestered the already angered fire girl who just simply burned his hands with her firepower.

"Okay that's it! Xigbar go get the gravity keyblade and take the heylin dragon with you. I've got some unfinished business with the girl first." the key of destiny yelled and with that, he took Kimiko and proceeded to drag her into an abandoned building. Once inside he used his magic to tie Kimiko to the floor, much like how he had chained Crystal to the pillar back in mount Olympus.

"I should say that you've been a thorn in my side long enough dragons." Roxas said to the bound girl who just simply glared at him with a look that could kill.

"However," the key of Destiny continued, "I was going to kill you but instead I've decided to have a little fun with you first." right before he made his move Kimiko suddenly freed herself from the bonds, kicked him in the stomach and threw him into a wall.

"Sorry you sick freak I'm nobody's play toy!" The xiaolin dragon of fire spat venomously at him.

Meanwhile Sora and company were flying on dojo after receiving an email from Kimiko's xiaolin phone telling where the next keyblade was. Sora himself was in deep thought as he was still holding his right hand after the Cat's Eye Draco torched him when he tried to pick up the wu.

"Sora is something wrong?" Omi asked thoughtfully.

"Yeah something's been bugging me about the Cat's Eye Draco." The hero of the keyblade replied. "Whenever I try and pick it up I end up burned by the wu."

"Heads up gang were in New York, Home of the Dragon of Gravity keyblade." Dojo called and with that, the gang began their decent to solid ground.

"Welcome to New York Sora. The big apple and the city that never sleeps." Jermaine announced to Sora.

"So this is your home." Sora stared awe struck and all the skyscrapers.

"Sora remember why we're here." Donald reminded the keyblade master. "We're here to find the keyblade and reclaim some of the shen gong wu."

"And to rescue any of the captured dragons from the hands of any members of Organization XIII that we might run into while we're here." Goofy chimed in.

"Great plan so let's head over to the festival. There's sure to be someone who knows where to find the keyblade and Kimiko along with it." Jack spoke up but before the group could start looking, they found someone that looked very familiar to them.

"Kimiko, I've missed you so much!" Jack yelled as he ran over to greet his girlfriend who looked like she had been battered, bruised and beaten up very badly.

"I've missed you to Jack." The xiaolin dragon of fire responded to her boyfriend.

"Hey guys hate to break this up but can we please get back to the reason why we're here?" Donald interrupted.

"Sorry we can finish this later my dear okay?" the albino said to his girlfriend who in turn nodded.

"So Jermaine being that this is your keyblade we're looking for where do we start looking?" Donald spoke up.

"Actually before I was captured by Roxas I overheard them say that the keyblade is being awarded as the trophy for 1st place in a talent show at the Caribbean festival." The dragon of fire responded to the duck's question.

"So let's go already." Sora voiced and rushed off only to fall to the ground in a pile of mud.

"Like that's ever gonna happen." Spoke a familiar voice. The gang turned to find none other than Roxas in his black, red and green robes.

"Roxas, Leave now or prepare to suffer a humiliating defeat!" Omi spoke up brandishing his wudai weapon and elemental keyblade.

"Like that ever going to happen you little Ouza." The key of destiny sneered. "Why don't you be a good Ouza and kneel before your master?"

"Roxas just turn around and walk away." Crystal spoke up.

"Oh well lookie what we have here." Roxas said. "Pretty nice dress Crystal." Then lifting up her skirt, he added "but I think you'd look better wearing nothing at all."

"Roxas why don't you take a long walk off a short pier!" Crystal snapped as she slapped Roxas in the face.

"You want to play we can play." The key of destiny shot back and on cue, he summoned the dragon of lightning keyblade and charged for Sora.

Sora merely dodged and countered with a horse swing that knocked his nobody's weapon out of his hands.

"Key of Destiny," Omi began, " again I order you to surrender now or prepare to suffer a humiliating defeat!"

"Funny I was just about to say the same thing you filthy rat!" the key of destiny shouted as he attempted to summon a swarm of armored knights only to find that he summoned Samurai nobodies.

'I don't believe this. Man Meribor said there would be some side affects to this. Like I can only summon nobodies.' Roxas cursed in his mind. Then turning to the dragons, he yelled "I'll deal with you later!" then in a flash of silver he left.

"Is it just me or is Roxas suddenly getting weaker?" Jermaine spoke up confused.

"Perhaps but lets go get the keyblade. Hey does anyone here have any natural talent?" Donald asked.

"I happen to know a thing or 2 about basket ball and rap man. I got this." Jermaine spoke up to the arrogant duck who meerly glared daggers at him.

After 3 sittings of rap or acrobatic artistry from the preformers it was finally Jermaine's chance to show how he could rap.

"Yo I just wanna give a shout out to all the beautiful people out there for making this possible." Jermaine yelled to the crowed before he broke out into his rap rotune.

"Geeze stacey now I know what you saw in him." Sora commented as he watched jermaine's act on stage, "He's skilled really skilled."

"Thank you for being a woderful audiende." Jermaine graceiously spoke as he left the stage which only left the judges to make their decision on who they felt contributed to the most of the carribean rotuine.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," the head judge began, "we've seen some very talented preformances on stage today and much deliberation we felt that the winner of this talent show is … Jermaine Cook!"

"Thanks y'all, Its been a pleasure to express my talent of music." The Gravity dragon spoke as he acetped the keyblade trophy. "I hate to sing and run but this cat's gotta scat. Ya ready Sora?"

"More than ready." The chosen hero of the keyblade replied as he used an indego spell seal to warp the dragons back to the temple.

Next Time On The Keyblade Quest:

The Heroes find a lead of Luiza's location. In Iceland, Home of Crystal the Ice Dragon. Meanwhile The Organization decides to unleash their monstrosity using 3 of the powered crystals forged from the captured dragons while Looking for the Ice Dragon keyblade.
