Thanks to meme12345bunny and crazychick14 for reviewing!
Master Fung frowned before Sicilia grew a smirk.
"I hope you've at least considered relinquishing the Wu I requested." Master Fung remained silent. Sicilia frowned before the PDA displayed the monks, whom were each immersed in their own activities.
Omi ceased shouting at Jin before seeing Master Fung displayed on the Dragonfly X-2.
"Hello Master Fung!" The elder Master's brow rose at Omi's demeanor. His eyes then roved over the other Monks. Clay was assaulting a stack of ribs with his teeth, sending barbeque sauce flying across the cell, and onto Kimiko's cheek.
"Ew…" The fire dragon muttered, wiping the sauce off her cheek. Master Fung's eyes then went to Raimundo's face down, chained, unmoving form. They darkened instantly.
"Don't worry," Sicilia's face appeared on the screen. "He's not dead…yet." Master Fung frowned.
"There's been a change in my request. Add the Sands of time and Kuzusu to the list of items that you will surrender."
Master Fung remained stern faced, silence being the only reply to Sicilia's request.
"These children are Dashi's legacy. I assume their lives are of some importance to you." Master Fung sighed.
"You know that I cannot fulfill your request." Sicilia frowned.
"And you know that I have your young students." Master Fung didn't reply.
"I want the Shen Gong Wu delivered to Chase Young's citadel by tomorrow. If you can't meet my request, all four of your students will be executed by sword."
Sicilia cancelled communication before Master Fung sighed.
"Perhaps you have heard of leopard eating rice?" Jin stroked his goatee at Omi's question before replying.
"I believe I've mastered that Tai Chi technique, along with similar ones such as Lobster Poking Cheese and Spider Taunting Snake." Omi's eyes lit.
"Then you have probably also performed cricket chomping celery?" Jin nodded.
"A difficult one, but I mastered that almost 1400 years ago." Omi furrowed his brows as his mind roved over more techniques before Jin spoke.
"I believe that's enough chatter for now. I've just discovered quite the interesting bit of information in my new book…" He spoke, lifting up his Slang 101 book.
"Finally. It's been three hours of gibberish." Kimiko voiced before glancing at her handcuffs and frowning.
"I think I might've figured these things out." Clay raised a brow.
"Figured 'em out?" Kimiko nodded.
"The handcuffs probably cancel out our powers because there's some sort of Heylin magic on them. It looks like when there's too much usage in our powers, these things can't handle it and basically overload."
Omi frowned at Kimiko's explanation before standing.
"Then perhaps we shall all attempt to summon our elemental powers simultaneously to break free of these binds!" He audibly devised.
Clay frowned and tipped his hat.
"But we'd still have to get Rai and take out these wackos." The cowboy's eyes moved to Jin, who was immersed in his book.
"I bet if Rai wakes up, we'll have more than enough power to overload these things, plus we'd get more even in numbers." Omi grinned.
"A most wise idea Clay! We shall wait until Raimundo regains consciousness and then initiate a successful escape!" Omi's eyes rested on Raimundo.
"Though he should have awoken by now…" Jin turned a page in his book.
"He probably expired."
Kimiko and Clay glared at Jin as Omi's concentration lingered on Raimundo.
"But your female comrade sensed all of our elemental energy…Raimundo must be alive…" Omi stared at the wind monk before his brows rose. He remained silent for a few moments before his ears picked up the sound of faint snoring. A vein appeared on his head as he glared at Raimundo.
"This is not the time to be sleeping!" Raimundo shuffled slightly before groaning and sitting upwards.
"My head's killin' me…" He glanced at the chains on his wrists before his gaze traveled to Omi, Kimiko, and Clay, whom he noticed were also chained. He then glanced at the bars and frowned.
"Where are we?" He glanced at his ankles.
"And why do I have handcuffs on my feet?"
Raimundo attempted to summon his element before Kimiko, Clay, and Omi's chains snapped and fell from their wrists.
"Jin, the brunette's elemental energy just spiked. Render him unconscious before—
"Earth!" Clay boomed, punching the cages bars out and interrupting Eluosi.
"…They escape…" Eluosi finished, frowning. Raimundo blinked as he noticed he was still chained. Omi charged at Jin with a battle cry as Kimiko engaged in battle with Eluosi.
"Guys…" Raimundo ducked to dodge a fireball before hopping to the side to avoid a flying boulder.
"Little help would be nice, considering I can't use my element…" Omi back flipped to avoid a blow from Jin before glancing at Raimundo.
"Ice!" Omi shouted before Raimundo's chains froze. The wind warrior sighed in relief and bumped his wrists together before shattering his handcuffs, afterwards ripping away the chains that bound his feet.
He glanced at his battle engaged teammates before frowning.
"Wind!" He voiced seconds before powerful bursts of air pummeled Jin and Eluosi through the walls of the area.
Omi, Clay, and Kimiko's brows rose before they turned to glance at Raimundo. The brunette sped past them and turned at the doorway.
"We can't battle on their turf; we need to get out of here fast." The three Wudai warriors nodded before sprinting out of the room with Raimundo.
They tore through the hallways of the abode before speeding down what appeared to be the path to the exit, passing by a female figure whose brows rose. Omi sped in front of his team mates before crashing into something.
He fell on the floor and rubbed his head before glancing up to see a man with glowing red eyes brandishing a large, sharp axe.
"This cannot be good…"
Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay each took stances before Raimundo threw a glance back. He frowned as he noticed four of the siblings were standing behind him and his team mates.
"Oh, come on…" He glanced at the axe wielder before frowning. Clay tipped his hat.
"I reckon throwin' the first punch ain't the smartest thing to do in this particular situation."
"This is the one Dojo warned us about…" Kimiko said, frowning. Omi's demeanor grew serious before he took his lotus stance.
"Aruisi Kitari." Kitari frowned before striking his axe towards the monks. Clay encased his fists in metal, parrying Kitari's repeated blows.
"Fire!" Kimiko shouted, hurling a sphere of fire at Kitari. The attack hit Kitari dead on, but he wasn't fazed in the slightest. He ceased his assault on Clay and glared at Kimiko before slamming the back of his axe-head into Kimiko, sending the fire warrior crashing into a wall.
"Kimiko!" Raimundo voiced worriedly before ducking to avoid a strike from the axe wielder.
"Earth!" Clay shouted, jumping in and slamming his fist against Kitari's axe.
"Ice!" Omi shouted, freezing Kitari's weapon before moving in to shatter it. In a split second, Kitari moved his weapon to the straps on his back and elbowed Omi to the ground.
"Fire!" Kimiko sped in the area like a bullet, surrounding herself with blazing flames. She shot past Kitari before turning around and shooting a large burst of Fire at Kitari's back. The axe wielder didn't even flinch.
"Earth!" Clay shouted, jumping and thrusting a fist towards Kitari. Kitari frowned and grabbed Clay's fist, suspending the large teen in air.
"This never happened before…" The teen muttered as he struggled to release his fist from Kitari's grip. Kitari frowned before raising his other arm and wrapping his hand around Clay's neck. The trapped monk attempted to free himself from Kitari's grasp, but Kitari simply tightened his grip.
Raimundo frowned before sprinting up to the axe wielder, using his wind powers boost himself before using a burst of air to propel himself in the air directly in front of Kitari.
"Wind!" Raimundo whirled around in the air and crashed a wind propelled foot sideways into Kitari's head, sending him crashing into a wall.
Omi gaped at the scene as Raimundo landed on the ground. The wind monk winced as his right leg buckled.
"His head must be made of steel or something!" Raimundo winced again. "I think I broke my leg."
Raimundo glanced behind him as the other Monk's eyes followed his gaze. Five of the other siblings were glaring daggers at them, their eyes daring them to make even the slightest move towards the exit. Raimundo scoffed.
"Pfft, as if." He then turned and Gestured to one of the stone sides of the cave.
"Clay, take out that wall." Seconds later, Clay encased himself in metal and jumped through the wall, the stone shattering like glass before Raimundo outstretched his arms.
"Wind!"
A powerful whirlwind whipped around the area, sending dust and rocks flying as Raimundo formulated a plan.
Clay tipped his hat and glanced up at the hole he created in the Chuanshuo siblings' castle.
"Wonder what's takin' 'em so long…" Seconds after the audible muse, Raimundo freefell from the hole, with Omi slung over his shoulder and Kimiko freefalling beside him. The three landed on the ground before Raimundo's right leg buckled under him. Clay frowned before running towards his younger comrades and lifting Raimundo onto his shoulders.
"C'mon," He voiced before running opposite the castle, and rounding a corner. The monks sprinted for quite a while until Omi sped ahead of the group and crashed into air.
Omi extended a hand as the others stopped behind him. He roved his hand over where he'd crashed and frowned. Clay eased Raimundo on his two feet before observing what caught Omi's attention.
"There appears to be some sort of invisible barrier here…" Omi spoke, his eyes picking up a violet light emanating from the castle.
"That would be Eluosi's doing." The monks turned around to see Chase Young before frowning.
"Chase Young," Omi voiced before taking a stance. "I assume you have come here to recapture us." Chase stood still, his demeanor calm and his eyes closed.
"Quite the contrary," He voiced coolly.
"I'm here to help you escape."
Finally finished this chapter! I think I'm going reward myself with some orange soda.
Review!
