DISCLAMER: Shocking this fact may be; but I do not own Xiaolin showdown. Oh yeah, it's a movie, where Stalfus says crap! Hoorays, first rude word in XS BEYOND!

Mystic Chimera

"Attention warriors; a new Shengongwu has been revealed. I see a staff, with the skin of a reptile…" said Dojo, as he flew into the room.

"Interesting, we must go to the mystic scroll at once!" Omi shouted.

They raced to the entrance of the Shengongwu vault, where they usually read the scroll to see what mystical item had appeared. Their wise master was ready to read it, and find the correct Shengongwu that fitted the phoenix's description.

"Ah, the Serpent's Fang. It is a dangerous staff; whoever is tapped by the large fang on the end will be paralyzed by it for a couple of minutes," explained Fung.

Raimundo and the others ran out to the courtyard, where their Shoku leader activated the Silver Manta Ray.

"Right! We'll be back as fast as we can!" he shouted.

They soon flew off over the clouds; they were heading to Peru, the country where the Serpent's Fang was hidden.

"The Shengongwu is located in the Pachacamac," their phoenix daemon explained.

"There's the ruins now!" Kimiko exclaimed.

She pointed downwards out of the window; below them were the ruins of an ancient city.

"Hat on to your holds!" shouted Omi.

"Really Omi, it's almost impossible to get that wrong…" sighed Raimundo.

They flew down and touched the ground, the team of five hopped out before the Silver Manta Ray returned to its compact form. They walked up to the entrance of the temple, the inside was fairly dim.

"Hey, if this is a tourist attraction, the Serpent's Fang must've been found by now," said Clay.

Dojo hopped off Raimundo's shoulder and flew onto Clay's shoulder; his wings generated a little waft of air that caught Clay's attention.

"Dashi kept the Shengongwu all in one place, outside this reality, in Chaos X. They are all located in a place nobody, not even the bravest daemon would venture. When one activates, it materializes in your world. Dashi places magical markers, so when a specific Shengongwu is activated, it appears in a set location" the bird explained.

Clay nodded.

"That sure explained a lot partner," he said.

Omi suddenly rushed forwards and pointed; ahead of them was the Serpent's Fang. It was a short stave that terminated in a large ivory tusk, the serpents tooth. The handle was decorated with snake skin.

"Good spotting Omi!" Kimiko cheered.

Omi cheerfully walked over to the staff, but there was a sudden whirring sound. They looked up to see the familiar face of Jack Spicer, gliding down with the aid of his Helibot.

"Hello losers, have you prepared for the can of butt kicking I'm about to open all over you?" Jack asked.

"We shall be the ones hitting your bottoms!" Omi replied, getting into a fighting stance.

Jack shrugged his shoulders.

"Very well then, Sentaibots, attack!" Jack shouted.

His team of brightly coloured androids teleported into action, Yellow ran forwards to grab the wu for herself.

"Oh no you don't!" Clay exclaimed.

He leapt forwards to aid Omi, Blue leapt forwards to help his fellow Sentaibot. All four people managed to touch the Serpent's Tail.

"A Xiaolin Showdown!" droned Blue.

Omi and Clay looked directly in the eyes of their opponents.

"It's settled then! Me and Omi's Pyro Orb and Canon Blaster against your Third Arm Sash and Diamond Shield!" Clay announced.

Blue and Yellow thought of a good challenge.

"The game shall be this; our Shengongwu and the Serpent's Tail shall appear in the centre of the arena. Whoever puts the most Shengongwu on their side of the arena wins!" Yellow explained.

The scenery shifted and transformed, it now resembled an arena that was rectangular in shape. A third of the arena was coloured red, the third in the middle was grey and the final third was blue. Clay and Omi were positioned on the blue side, and the two Sentaibots were positioned on the red.

"GONG YI TAMPAI!"

The showdown had started; a Shengongwu suddenly appeared in the grey section in the centre. It was the Pyro orb, Clay and Sentaibot Blue bounded forwards.

"STONE FIST!"

Clay used his stone encrusted hand to strike the robot out of the way; Clay managed to claim the prize and threw the orb to Omi, who placed it on their side. Another Shengongwu appeared in the centre, it was the Third Arm Sash.

"SILVER BEAM!"

Yellow used her attack to knock Omi backwards, just as he was going to grab the sash. The Sentaibots had clamed the wu for themselves; the score was one all.

"Clay, there are only three left to collect. Give it your all!" Omi panted.

The Canon Blaster suddenly appeared, Clay and Omi raced forwards, but Blue came down and used his own move.

"MAGIC MISSILE!"

The projectile that the robot fired hit the two Wudai warriors; it distracted them while Yellow got the canon like wu.

"They're winning!" exclaimed Clay.

"Not for long!" Omi said, bravely.

He spotted the Diamond Shield, Blue and Yellow had spotted it too. The water monk and the two Sentaibots raced forwards, but Omi was charging an attack.

"WUDAI NEPTUNE STEAM!"

He knocked both of the bright robots, as well as claiming the prize. There was only one more Shengongwu to catch, it would appear shortly.

"Clay; face aloft!" Omi exclaimed, trying to say "Heads up".

The Serpent's Fang had appeared in the air, it was up to Clay or Sentaibot Blue to get it. Blue executed a high jump, Clay did the same.

"Xiaolin loser, the we shall win the game!" laughed Blue.

"Don't count on it, partner; WUDAI CRATER EARTH!"

Clay hit the blue machine out of the air, the Texan dragon managed to grab the staff. The environment changed back to normal, Omi and Clay had won the showdown.

"Well done guys!" cheered Kimiko.

"Those were some awesome tactics!" added Raimundo.

Clay and Omi walked forwards, holding all five of the Shengongwu they had won from the mystic game.

"You haven't seen the last of us!" called Jack.

His four robots teleported away, Jack flew out of sight. The xiaolin crew walked out of the Peruvian temple.

"This Shengongwu will come in useful!" exclaimed Omi.

"For me," said a voice.

They turned around, a tall winged figure landed in front of them. It was Stalfus. He was using his gift of demonic flight to travel; in his hand he held a medallion.

"You!" Raimundo shouted.

Stalfus retracted his wings and smiled.

"Yes, children, it's me. Thank you ever so much for helping me get Constantine Compass, it was a nice deed. Now, I'll be taking that Serpent's Fang if you don't mind," he grinned, speaking in his soft, pleasant voice.

Clay held their new Shengongwu tightly.

"No way partner!" Clay snapped.

Stalfus chuckled.

"Oh, we're a bit stubborn, aren't we child? I must take that item from you by force. Come; fallen angel Bow," he said.

He held his arm out, summoning his demon from inside his body. Bow was a menacing figure, enveloped by smoke. He had the appearance of a dark angel; his red eyes could stare through the souls of those who opposed his master. The fallen angel drifted forwards, all five of the heroes were stunned with fear. Bow reached out with one of his icy hands, he simply took the staff away from Clay. Stalfus' demon returned to his master, and re-entered the demon tamer's body.

"Wh-what do you need that for?" spluttered Raimundo.

"I need it to complete my plans of becoming an unstoppable entity. When I have the Shengongwu that represent the snake, lion and goat, I shall use the Fusion Soul to become one with them. See you later, children," smiled Stalfus, he extended his wings and flew into the sky.

Clay looked down at his feet, the earth dragon was sad.

"Don't be sad, Clay. It wasn't your fault that he took it, that demon had some sort of evil aura that made us freeze," Kimiko said, cheering up the cowboy.

"Let us make sure that we get the next Shengongwu he needs," Omi added.

Their attention turned towards their avian companion, Dojo was pricking his feathers up. He had detected another mystical item.

"Hey, another Shengongwu!" said Raimundo.

"What do you see?" Clay asked.

Dojo squinted his small bird eyes; he had a vague picture of the wu in his head.

"It is a horn; it is decorated with gold," he described.

They all hopped into the Silver Manta Ray, Dojo pointed them in the right direction with his beak.

"Where is it?" Omi questioned.

"It is in this country, but a different place," Dojo answered.

"Ah, I see. Maybe that is why you have detected it so early, because it is fairly close by," said the water dragon.

They flew towards their next location, the Amazon Basin. They landed in the green forest, their ship just managing to fit between the dense vegetation. As Raimundo deactivated the ship, he spied the horn Shengongwu.

"Look, there's our wu!" he shouted.

"I have heard of this one, the Horn of Plenty. It can produce a substance that provides energy to somebody when ingested," Omi said.

They raced towards the Shengongwu, but Jack Spicer flew down from his jet and grabbed the wu for himself.

"Did you expect me to ignore this wu; it's here in Peru, just like the other one. I thought I'd might as well grab this while on my way back home!" sniggered the genius.

There was a sudden dark presence that was felt, it was Stalfus again. Obviously he had not flown far to get there, he swooped down suddenly. He was heading towards Jack; he screamed and dropped the wu. Stalfus laughed as he easily picked up the Horn of Plenty and disappeared, ascending into the sky.

"Oh no! Not again!" Kimiko growled.

Jack shook off his fear and jumped back into his ship.

"Humph, today is not my lucky day," he huffed as he flew away.

Soon the warriors returned to the temple, ready to tell the bad news to master Fung. They walked into the main room of the temple; they were surprised to see John standing with their master.

"Master Fung, have you heard of the news?" asked Kimiko.

"We have lost two of our Shengongwu to Stalfus!" added Omi.

Master Fung and John turned to face them, John smiled.

"Luckily I've come just in time. So, tell me what items Stalfus has nabbed," he said.

Kimiko stepped forwards.

"He took the Serpent's Fang and the Horn of Plenty," she explained.

"Yeah, but didn't he have some sort of medal?" asked Clay.

John's eyes widened.

"Oh no! He has the Lion Medallion as well! Now he just needs the Fusion Soul and his metamorphosis shall be complete!" he gasped.

Clay took of his hat briefly to itch his scalp.

"So, he needs to fuse these wu together to become what?" Clay questioned.

John focussed his mind, ready to explain the story.

"Long ago, creatures part Lion, Goat, Snake and Man roamed the earth. These Chimeras had phenomenal magic skills, more skilled than humans. One day, they asked to become daemons, but their offer was refused by the mistress of time. In their anger, they became rampaging monsters, but luckily they were killed by brave daemon tamers. Stalfus wants to become one of them!" John explained.

Dojo flew onto Clay's shoulder.

"Ah, yes! Dashi used real items to create the Shengongwu. He used a goat horn, a lion's musk and a serpent's fang to create the three Shengongwu that Stalfus possesses. By fusing them to his body, Stalfus can become an amalgam of those three creatures, as well as man!" he said.

Dojo suddenly stood up strait; he had sensed another fluctuation in the flow of Mahou.

"That must be the Fusion Soul he's sensing!" exclaimed Raimundo, watching the noble daemon twitch.

The Xiaolins ran to the Silver Manta Ray, accompanied by their daemon tamer friend. Master Fung watched them fly into the sky; he knew that they would make it back alive, after saving the world.

Or would they?

The storm that was raging over the ocean was fierce; they were approaching the west coast of Africa. Fuerteventura, the Canary Island, would be just up ahead.

"I sense Stalfus, he is close to the Fusion Soul!" shouted John.

"We're going in!" Raimundo called as they dived through the black clouds.

The manta landed smoothly on the black sands of Ajui beach. The storm raging on around the island meant that nobody was there. The six heroes stared in horror as they saw Stalfus furiously digging for the new Shengongwu.

"Stop right there!" Kimiko exclaimed.

"Oh no, I think I can see it!" Clay added.

He was right, the crystal heart Shengongwu lay on the black sand. Stalfus was about to grab it, but as his hand lowered, he felt it enveloped by the firm grasp of the two warriors, Clay and Kimiko.

"What? A foolish xiaolin game?" asked Stalfus.

Clay and Kimiko stopped panting and smiled.

"Stalfus, we challenge you to a showdown!" shouted Kimiko.

"Me and Kimiko's Razor Rose and Newton Scales against you and Bow's Lion Medallion and Serpent's Fang!" Clay added.

Bow appeared next to his master, both demon and tamer laughed.

"We accept!" hissed Bow.

"What's the game? Children like games!" asked Stalfus.

Clay and Kimiko whispered to each other, they agreed on a good game.

"Whichever team is left standing on their shaking pillar wins!" said Clay.

The environment changed, the black sands became tornados, their heat increased until the sand became molten. The sand had created two glass pillars for both teams to stand on; the wind was raging, making them wobble violently.

"GONG YI TAMPAI!"

Kimiko and Clay stood together, there was a violent surge. Kimiko shouted as she almost fell, but Clay grabbed her before she could.

"Come on, we need to think of a way to make him fall!" she panted.

They though of a plan, while Stalfus revealed his two huge swords.

"Hey, he can't use those! He didn't wager them!" Raimundo said, angry at the cheat.

"Those are his demonic blades; Terror and Malice," said John.

Stalfus laughed evilly as he created a deadly tornado of pestilence with them, the cyclone knocked poor Kimiko and Clay off their tower. The showdown was won by Stalfus; he appeared with his won items as the environment returned to its former self.

"That swindler!" Dojo muttered.

Stalfus laughed, he had clamed the three new Shengongwu and the ones that could control weight and thorns that the two warriors had wagered.

"I don't need these two pieces of crap!" he cackled as he threw the Newton Scales and the Razor Rose down on the floor.

The six heroes moved back, they glimpsed the evil warrior fusing the Shengongwu he needed to his body. The storm grew fiercer, Omi and Dojo had to grab onto Raimundo to prevent them from being carried off, as they were the smallest.

"Here it comes," moaned Kimiko.

"We tried to prevent it," added Clay.

The sands stopped blowing about, as it settled they witnessed the result of the Fusion Soul's power. A humanoid creature stood there, covered in a mixture of skin, black and brown fur and scaled. It had a total of four heads, Stalfus' head in the middle and the black goat and brown lion head at either side. On the end of his reptilian tail was a snake head, covered in green scales. His chest had an orb in the centre, a crystal heart could be seen inside.

"I have become Mystic Chimera; the ultimate being!" laughed the transformed Stalfus.

"You fiend!" John screamed.

John raced forwards, his daemon Yamikage helping him reach a tremendous speed. John extended his right arm, holding his sword Punishment.

"CHASTISEMENT BLOW!"

The daemon tamer's attack didn't pierce the Chimera's skin, Stalfus laughed as he struck John, sending him flying into the air. As the warrior fell towards the sea, Omi took action.

"WUDAI NEPTUNE ICE!"

Omi had made a platform for John to land on, John jumped back onto dry land. Omi smiled as John gave him thumbs up. Their attention was turned to Raimundo, who was flying towards Stalfus with his wind power.

"Foolish human, now I am invincible, not even the air can stop me!" roared the Chimera.

With a flick of his wrist, he stopped the air currents that supported Raimundo. The wind dragon plummeted downwards; his own element couldn't save him. He was luckily caught by Kimiko and Clay.

"Don't worry Rai!" Clay said.

"We have a bone to pick with this cheat!" Kimiko added, smiling.

Raimundo stared into Kimiko's eyes.

"Just be careful…" he whispered to her.

The fire and earth warriors ran towards Stalfus, his many eyes easily spotted their surprise attack.

"FIRE AND EARTH FURY!"

They fired a green and red blast at Stalfus, but he deflected it and fired it back at them. They were sent rolling across the beach.

"I have had enough!" Dojo shouted.

He flew to combat the chimera, Stalfus laughed at the phoenix.

"Stupid daemon, I shall make you into fried phoenix nuggets!" he chuckled, firing two deadly lasers from the lion and goat mouths.

Dojo was knocked backwards, his feathers were damaged and his breast was black and crispy. Stalfus approached him menacingly; the phoenix was in great pain. Omi jumped in the way to protect his daemon friend.

"DIAMOND SHEILD!"

Omi created a force field with the shield Shengongwu that nullified Stalfus' mighty fist, Stalfus growled at the little monk's pathetic attempt to save his friend.

"RED CURE!"

Dojo regenerated his damaged body, he was much better.

"Come on friend, let us strike this mixed up fiend together!" Omi shouted.

Omi ran and Dojo flew towards the transformed demon tamer, Stalfus laughed a he tossed the two heroes like rag dolls. He laughed even louder when he threw them at Raimundo and John, knocking them over. Clay and Kimiko didn't know what to do, they were still injured.

"No use…" sighed Clay, putting his hands down on the sand in front of him.

"Yeah…" Kimiko moaned as she put her hands in front of herself.

Their eyes widened, there was a strange sensation in their hands. They dug in the sand, they pulled out two items. Clay pulled out a reddish yellow helmet, Kimiko pulled out a pale pink helmet.

"More helmets!" Kimiko exclaimed.

"Put it on, quickly!" smiled Clay, putting his helmet on.

They were enveloped in magical light as they put on their helmets, transforming into new daemon knights.

"I am…Jemako, Topaz Knight!" shouted Clay.

In his place stood a knight with reddish yellow armour, with a design like the other knights. He was the biggest knight so far; his helmet even had a moustache welded onto it.

"I am…Meliza, Pearl Knight!" shouted Kimiko.

The pale pink knight was a tall female, she looked a lot like a re coloured version of the Sapphire Knight Jessie had become.

Stalfus stared at the two new warriors; he stopped beating up the four other heroes. He walked over to them, pointing at them.

"Hey, newcomers! Let me invite you to a slaughter!" he chuckled.

"Thou shall not cause pain to these innocent mortals! Thou hath also cheated in a game!" the Topaz Knight bellowed.

The two knights walked forwards.

"We shall touch the Newton scales together, then a fair game shall commence!" Meliza said.

Stalfus shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay then," he said, touching the Newton Scales he had left in the sand at the same time the knights touched it.

The two knights thought of a game.

"I shall use one of my daggers as a spinner. Where it points, whoever's turn it is a player must walk in the direction it points, two steps only. If you fall, me and Jemako shall win!" explained the Pearl Knight.

"And thou shalt lose, and thole your loss!" added Topaz Knight.

The Chimera smiled, he knew he would just be able to defeat them.

Stalfus said "You must wager all the Shengongwu you have and I…"

"Shall wager all the Shengongwu you have!" chuckled the Pearl Knight.

Stalfus' tail hissed. That would mean that he would have to forfeit all four of his wu.

"Fine, I shall accept! Let the battle begin!" he whispered.

The scenery changed, the three competitors were isolated on a circular platform above a bottomless hole. The four other heroes watched eagerly.

"Wow, another showdown!" Omi gasped.

"Two in a row," Raimundo whispered.

The Pearl Knight unsheathed one of her two daggers; she placed it in the centre of the stage.

"GONG YI TAMPAI!"

Stalfus had his turn first, the spinner pointed towards the edge he was facing. He took two steps in that direction, and then stopped.

"My turn," whispered Jemako.

The dagger span and pointed to the centre of the ring, he walked two steps inwards. It was Meliza's turn now. Her dagger told her to take two steps towards the edge.

"Ha! My go!" murmured Stalfus.

The dagger span around, to his horror, it pointed to the direction he was already facing.

"Take two steps now. You have lost," said Meliza, sternly.

"This game is not fair! You've fixed it somehow!" growled Stalfus.

"Thou mote fall," Topaz Knight said, in the same tone as the Pearl Knight.

Stalfus took two steps forwards, he fell into the dark abyss. The scenery returned to normal, Stalfus was returned to his original form. Clay and Kimiko lay on the sand, both of them were asleep.

"Fools! I still have the power to beat you!" shouted Stalfus.

He suddenly stopped breathing; John had shot a shard of energy into his chest with his gun, Order.

"Hey! You shouldn't kill him!" screamed Raimundo.

John smiled.

"He is immortal, if he dies, his soul becomes two entities. Only if they are brought together he shall come back. I have merely postponed his wrath," he explained.

Stalfus laughed as he lost blood.

"That is correct! You have not seen the last of me!" he chuckled.

He fell on his back, his body turned to ash. The black dust was blown away in the harsh wind. Bow sat where his master once stood, his head was bowed.

"Exorcise me, fool," he sighed.

John held out his hands, he focussed his energy into them. With a blast of holy light, Bow was sent to the netherworld. Clay and Kimiko woke up, they remembered nothing about the last showdown.

"Did we win?" they asked.

"Yes, friends!" Omi grinned.

Raimundo smiled.

"You were awesome!" he said.

Dojo flew onto John's shoulder.

"How long do you think he will be gone?" he asked the Daemon tamer.

Yamikage appeared suddenly, he had one of his fingers over his lips.

"Fate shall decide. Stalfus has a sister…"
