Finally got to updating after the long, awesome weekend.
I love soda. Mondays…not so much.
crazychick14, meme12345bunny, TheXGrayXLady, Thanks profusely for the nice reviews!
And on a side note, this Chapter's really rated T.
Raimundo frowned as his eyes roved over his opponents. The sword and hammer wielders took their stances and kept their gazes on Raimundo's form before the hammer wielder disappeared.
Raimundo back flipped seconds before an oversized hammer slammed through the ground.
"Wind!" Raimundo called in mid back flip, spinning like a top before a curving twister encircled him, pounding into the hammer wielder and sending him flying before Raimundo landed and took a stance. The sword wielder glanced at the hammer wielder before scowling.
"You shouldn't underestimate your opponent." He voiced, glaring at Raimundo before his eyes shifted to the wind that swirled around the monk. He scowled before rushing forward with a sudden burst of speed and striking at Raimundo with his sword. Raimundo blocked the attack, launching a series of wind blades as the cling of metal echoed from the swordsman's continuous blows.
The swordsman smirked before disappearing as Raimundo's brow rose. Seconds later, the hammer wielder appeared and slammed his weapon into Raimundo's chest. The monk was sent flying backwards before he crashed into a stone building. The two weapon wielders took stances as they waited for Raimundo to attack.
"Wind!" Raimundo burst from the rubble with increased speed before launching his foot at the hammer wielders face. The hammer wielder was propelled backwards as Raimundo's attention went to the sword wielder. The wind warrior propelled himself vertically through the air as the sword wielders calm gaze followed. He then heard a low whistle before he directed his gaze to his feet. His lips curved downwards as he saw his feet were being encircled with wind.
"Hn…" He muttered. "Interesting…" He was propelled through the air before halting directly in front of Raimundo. His gaze went to the wind warrior before he frowned.
"It seems I cannot move…" Raimundo's right arm swirled with a mini tornado.
"Yeah, that's only temporary." Raimundo replied before rearing his arm back for a punch. He thrust it forward seconds before his gaze shot upwards to see the hammer wielder. His weapon struck downwards, sending Raimundo crashing to the ground seconds before the hammer wielder landed near him. He repeatedly slammed his weapon down on Raimundo before slinging it over his shoulder and glancing at the sword wielder.
"There's something different about this one." The hammer wielder voiced, his gaze aiming at Raimundo. Raimundo groaned before pushing himself up and sitting, panting slightly.
The hammer and sword wielders both glared at him. The hammer wielder raised his weapon for a strike and frowned perplexedly as the monk disappeared.
He glanced back seconds before he and the sword wielder were blasted by a sudden blast of wind.
Raimundo took a stance and waited for his opponent to strike, shifting into a stance. His eyes darted around the area, not detecting even the slightest trace of the hammer and sword wielders. His gaze lingered on the five other siblings and Chase Young before he inwardly tensed. They were seemingly just watching, as if they were spectators at a sporting event. Raimundo's eyes grew more focused before he jumped to avoid a jab from the sword wielder, afterwards standing on the sword and performing a back flip, landing his foot in the hammer wielders face. The hammer wielder was sent backwards before Raimundo landed.
The swordsman scowled before growing a blaze of speed and torpedoing towards Raimundo and slamming his hilt against the monks kneecap. Raimundo didn't even have time to suppress a yelp when the hammer wielder suddenly appeared in front of him and slammed his hammer upwards at Raimundo's face.
The monk was sent soaring through the air before he landed rather harshly on the ground. The sword wielder pressed a booted foot to Raimundo's chest before holding his sword above it.
The swordsman's gaze remained on Raimundo's exhausted form before he attempted to plunge the sword through the younger monk's chest.
The monk called his element, aiming a wind blast at Jin and sending him a few feet backwards before he stood and summoned a whirlwind. The powerful gusts whipped dust in the air and blocked the view of both enemies.
Chase's eyes narrowed.
"They're toying with him. Tell them to finish him." One of the female siblings frowned.
"You obviously lacked the skill to do so, so I suggest you cease criticizing Jin and Kintojo's methods." Her eyes concentrated ahead as the dust began to clear. Her eyes soured as she noticed what appeared to be a large weapon.
"Cannon blaster, lightning!" Raimundo's voice echoed before Chase's eyes widened. An oversized ball of electricity zipped towards them before exploding and sending wind blades slashing through the area. Chase frowned as he lowered his arm from his face, the explosion and wind blades subsiding. The wind warrior was nowhere in sight.
"He got away." The hammer wielder voiced agitatedly. He began to saunter into the woods before a female voice caused him to halt.
"Wait." He turned around to glance at his sister and frowned. His sister's gaze went to the axe wielder.
"Kitari, perhaps you could deal with the Xiaolin child whilst I find a suitable place to raise my castle." The axe wielder slung his weapon over his shoulder before disappearing.
The sound of footsteps and heavy breathing filled a sloped, dark, and grassy area of Macchu Picchu as Raimundo hurried down the area, avoiding rocks and vines before stopping behind a tree. He rested his back against the base of the tree and pulling the Deng Emerald from his pockets. With any luck, he'd be able to contact Dojo for a ride and check up on the others.
He opened his mouth to activate the shen gong wu, but before he could, he heard a twig snap. He glanced from behind the tree, thinking that it was just an animal and he was paranoid, but his thoughts changed as he saw one of the Chuanshuo siblings surveying the area.
Raimundo frowned as he noticed it wasn't either of his two former opponents; it was the axe wielder. He watched as the axe wielder's weapon transformed into a machete. He chopped down a few vines to clear the way before frowning.
Raimundo's brow rose as the axe wielder's weapon transformed once more, shrinking to the size of a small sword. He tensed as he noticed the older warrior getting too close to him before suppressing a sigh of relief as he seemed to cluelessly amble down the mountain.
Though, he regretted letting his guard down as soon as he felt something cold and sharp press against his throat. His eyes slowly moved to the side as he noticed that the axe wielder's arm had snaked around the tree, along with his very sharp and intimidating weapon.
"You proved yourself to be a formidable opponent…" The axe wielder voiced, pressing his blade more firmly against Raimundo's throat. "But still, you lack experience." Raimundo winced before his gaze went to his pocket. He had the serpents' tail…if he could just reach it…
He inconspicuously moved his hand towards his pockets before Kitari's gaze followed what he was doing. He quickly dragged his weapon across Raimundo's throat moments before the latter activated the serpents' tail. Raimundo collapsed to the ground and clutched his throat. He'd managed to activate the serpents' tail before he was decapitated, but the axe wielder had already cut deep.
Kitari glared at Raimundo before frowning and changing his weapon into an axe and exiting the area.
Raimundo's vision blurred as his eyes rested on the Deng Emerald.
Dojo slithered onto the cold grounds of the temple courtyard before giving a loud yawn and scratching his back. He pulled a sandwich from his ear and munched off of it before his ears began twitching.
"Eh…that never happened before…" He shrugged before taking another bite of his sandwich. "It still tastes ok…"
Dojo…
He could've sworn that was Raimundo's voice. His eyes slowly moved to the sandwich before he chucked it to the ground and let out a squeal.
"What did you do to me?"
Dojo…It's me…I'm using the Deng Emerald…
Dojo felt a flood of relief before he mentally replied.
"Oh…" He lifted his sandwich before chomping on it.
I need you to get back to Macchu Picchu as fast as you can…It's really urgent…
Dojo twitched again and frowned as he sensed a cease in Shen Gong Wu use. He hurriedly morphed into his larger form before shaking his head.
"No time for that." He shrunk and slithered to the vault and rung the chimes before plucking the golden tiger claws from a drawer.
"Golden tiger claws!" He shouted, slashing at the air and summoning a purple portal. He slithered through it before ending up in the muddy and humid grounds of Macchu Picchu.
His eyes surveyed the area, darting from singed and wet trees to the occasional piece of clothing and chirping cricket.
"I thought this'd be easy…" He muttered, slithering down the slope of the mountain. He slithered through the bumpy and grassy slope until his eyes rested on the deng emerald. One of his brows rose as he lifted the Wu.
"Strange…" His eyes then moved to a nearby tree. Two shoed feet were viewable from his position. He slithered to the area before he recognized the tennis shoes as Raimundo's. His eyes widened as he glanced at the Monks full form and noticed his condition.
"No…"
