Mayhemb; Perhaps fear isn't always good for you...

Song Used; (a part of) Vienna Tang "Lullaby for a Stormy Night" (beautiful song, I recommend it to all)


Alexis glared through the blistering wind down bellow, the group on their way to the newest Shen Gong Wu.

Kimiko was wearing a pink fluffy parka with ears, a black/purple diamond-crossed dress under that, white with purple Velcro boots , and black/purple stripped stockings. Alexis was wearing a white blouse with a black belt around her torso, dark blue jeans, black combat boots, the Tao Choker, her pink heart necklace, (her blue bird earrings), and her hair was styled in a braid with a large bow using the ribbon Clay had given her.

"Vhat es 'ee doing..?" Alexis asked the others, who were just as confused as her when they saw Jack just...Stand there...

Only for Dojo to yell when logs were suddenly shot at him, one even ripping off the scales atop his head.

"THAT'S gonna leave a mark!" Dojo called out, making everyone 'oooh' at the damage.

Yet just as Dojo was ascending to a greater height, a log clunked him in the chin..Before falling atop his head, making the group descend. Luckily, Omi used the Ruby of Ramses to remove the log.

"Faster Dojo!" Kimiko exclaimed from behind Alexis, the French-girl having been asked to sit between Raimundo and Omi today.

"Don't chu worry, Ol' Clay's gotta rope or two up his sleeve!" Clay told the others, before lassoing the Shen Gong Wu before Jack could reach it. "Come along little doggies!"

Yet, their momentary joy got cut off, much like Clay's rope was due to Jack's propellers.

When Clay finally got the entire rope back in his posession, Dojo dived down and let the group land on the logs that were floating on a small stream...Honestly, Alexis was always creaped out by this sorta logging place...

..

...

Oh! Right, Clay and Jack were having a stare-off..

"Make yer move Spicer!" Clay shouted to Jack, who then shouted out to someone else.

"MAKE-UP!" suddenly a blonde pink-wearing Jack-bot (sorta) came over, before applying a rather large amount of make-up onto Clay.

"Beautiful~" Jack chimed, before some camera-wielding robots suddenly appeared behind him. "Action!"

Clay was then frozen-stiff when 4 Jack-Bots came near him, with two video-tapped him...Leaving him a bumbling mess.

"Zee Sh'oud of Fea'h's!" Alexis exclaimed, watching as Jack took it, before she glanced at the others.

"What's with Clay..?" Raimundo asked the group, before Kimiko realized it.

"Looks like he's got a pretty bad case of Stage-fright..!" Alexis glared at this, before jumping across the logs, and gaining one of the camera-bot's attentions.

"Yeah, but lucky for us, Nani doesn't..!" Raimundo called out, watching as the French-girl purposely showed off for the camera with flips and cartwheels.

"ORB OF TORNAMI!" Omi's voice was heard from behind, only for most of the logs to be swept up in a large wave...Heading straight for the pile of logs that kept the river, a river. On the other side of the dam, however, was a steep drop.

Using the wave, Alexis managed to flip onto the earthy path that surrounded the river...Only to watch as Clay flew past her.

"SWORD OF THE STORM!" Raimundo exclaimed, soon followed by Kimiko.

"LOTUS TWISTER!"

The logs were then pushed away and down the drop by a rapid tornado-like object, allowing Clay to fall over the side. Thankfully, though, Kimiko managed to catch him.

"Oooh.." Kimiko groaned as she held onto her bending arm. "They sure make 'em big in Texas."

"Mon Cher!" Alexis suddenly gasped out, before running to the edge of the Earth to watch the cowboy be dangled just a few feet above the rapid waterfall that had been formed. From above, Alexis heard Jack gloating after he gave an 'evil' laugh.

"Once again I, Jack Spicer, have triumphed over the Xiaolin Losers..! And it's all captured, ON FILM!" Wuya then got up into Jack's face, glaring at the imbecile.

"You should be thinking more about World Domination, and less about the movies..!"

"Eh, they're pretty much the same thing." Jack commented, throwing a small wink towards his camera.


Alexis frowned as she wiped away the last of the make-up from Clay's sulking face, Omi right behind the 2.

"Mon Cher..."

"Oooooh cheer up Clay! There is no shame in a humiliating defeat. Remember, it will only make you stronger for the next one." Omi's declaration got a rather mixed signal from Alexis, yet Clay still took it as a form of comfort.

"Yeah..Thanks...But ah never figured ah'd turn out ta be camera-shy..Ah feel lower than a tick huggin' a gopher's belly." Clay told the group, before he smiled when Alexis gave him a comforting hug. "Thanks Sugar..."

"Dojo...Exactly what does the Shadow of Fear do...?" Kimiko asked the dragon, all the while Alexis muttered something about 'eet not being like zee movie'...Quickly the Dragon Warriors then scampered onto Dojo's head, just as he opened the Scroll to read.

"It allows whoever holds it to enter another's dreams. And bring to life, their deepest and darkest fear."

"Ha! Then I have no worried, because I have no fears!" in reply to Omi, Dojo purposely let the Water Dragon zoom into thin air with a simple term.

"MON FRERE!" Alexis screamed, before wrapping Clay's lasso around her hand, and running along Dojo's form. Only to jump and grab onto Omi, before looking back at the cowboy.

"Hoooold on there partners!" Clay exclaimed, before tugging Alexis and Omi back onto Dojo with a swift pull.

"See..? No fear!" Omi happily said, before quirking an eyebrow at Alexis' panicked expression.


Alexis breathed calmly as she walked through the training course, a blindfold over her eyes as usual...Well, for her and Omi, at least. She felt her hands brush past the sand-bags, before she hopped through fire rings, and reaching out for the-

Oh, Omi had beaten her to the string. The bell rung out at the swift tug Omi gave it, allowing all the other training courses to come to a halt as the group took off their blindfolds.

"Your courage is admirable, dragons in training. Yet the bravest monk is not the one who fears nothing, but the one who is willing to face what he fears most." Master Fung told the group, before Omi ran up to the pillar that the elder was sitting upon.

"Jack Spicer can not defeat me..! Even with the Shadow of Fear! Because I have never met a fear, I was afraid of!" Alexis frowned greatly at this, before kneeling beside the yellow-skinned boy.

"But, mon frere, everyone fea'ah's zomezing..! Aftah all, oozing you'ah fea'ah's can make you a bettah wa'ee'ah'.."

"Sister, you don't seem to be afraid of anything though..!...Besides thunder.." Omi added in that last part with a thoughtful look, Alexis only smiled down at him.

"Actually Omi, I am af'aid of a lot of zings. But eet es because I am so af'aid, I get st'ah'ongah. Aftah all, zhere is nozing to fea'ah but fea'ah eetself."

"Huh..?"

..."*sigh* Nevah mind.."


~Kimiko's Dream~

The Japanese-girl happily cheered as another gift was placed down onto the table before her, everyone smiling at the girl.

"Happy Birthday Kimiko!" the entire world seem to exclaim, making Kimiko tear up a bit.

"Thank you, everyone!" Kimiko called out, before looking down at the box..Only to gasp in shock at it. The present was half-burnt, a blood red bow was singed onto it...Then, Kimiko looked up to see who had given her the present.

"Happy birthday Kimiko." Jack told her, before laughing evily as he threw the box open to reveal-

"Play with me Kimiko!" a girlish-voice from inside the box exclaimed, before the entire scene suddenly changed. The once bright and cheery atmosphere turned bleak and burned, just as the once-happy girl fell out of her chair...And began to scramble away from the box, and the laughing Jack Spicer.

"N-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


~Raimundo's Dream~

The Brazilian boy 'wooped' happily as he surfed atop the large wave in Rio, waving to the crowd down below.

"GOOD JOB RAI!"

"Way ta go partner!"

"You are MOST in HEAT Raimundo!"

Raimundo then grinned at Alexis, who was surfing a bit bellow him. "Zee ba'ah''el es coming up, mon frere."

"Let's do it!" Raimundo happily exclaimed, before he and Alexis entered the barrel. Raimundo cheered as he skimmed the water and-

"RAIMUNDO!" looking behind him, the Brazilian looked around in surprise when he didn't see Alexis.

"Nani! Where'd ya go?.!" the teen boy called out, before he heard it.

"Well, well, well, Raimundo. Havin' fun..?" Jack asked as he floated over Raimundo, who glared at him.

"What did you do to here?"

"Oooooh, I wouldn't worry about Alexis is I where you." Jack commented, before pointing downwards. Following his finger to the edge of his board, Raimundo gasped when he saw lavander/light purple tentacles suddenly climb onto his piece of waxed wood...And grabbed his ankle.

"No...No!"


~Clay's Dream~

The Texan whistled happily as he brought the cows into the coral, slamming the gate closed as he wipped the sweat from his eyebrows.

"Another good day ah work." Clay told himself, before hearing a voice from inside the house.

"Cher! I made zome pie! Get eet vhile eet's still 'ere!" Alexis called from inside the cozy home, makin' Clay smile.

"Ah'll be right in Sugar!" Clay called back, before whistling another happy tune as he walked on over to the porch. Yet just as he made his way into the dinning room, he gasped at the sight before him. "Spicer!"

"Howdy Clay, awww, am I interupting your family time..?" Jack asked with fake sadness, only to grin evilly. "But, you do know..That you should leave another family member out in the cold."

"What are ya talkin' abou-"

"Claa-aaay~." the old voice sent a tingle up Clay's spine, making him cut off as he whirled around to see a large figure start to come into the room. 2 pinch-ready hands extended towards him.

Clay stumbled onto the ground, shuttering at the being that towered over him as Jack laughed from behind.


~Alexis' Dream~

Alexis huffed as she ducked behind a wall, shooting at the decaying bodies that came near her and-

"WHAT THE HECK?.!" Jack's screamed out from behind her, making the Nature Dragon hold a pistol against his head with her left hand...Only to blink in surprise at him.

Alexis was fully decked out in a camo tank-top, a tight black jacket, dark brown cargo pants, black combat boots...And had 3 guns on her belt, 5 grenades along her chest, a baseball bat on her back, a dagger strapped to her arm, and a machete in her right hand.

"Oh, bonjour Jack~"

"WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING HERE?.!"

"Vorld Var Zh'ee, against zee zombie apocalypse." Alexis calmly replied, before throwing a de-pinned grenade at the zombie horde. "Anyvay, vhy a'he you een mon d'eams..?"

"I came to...To get your deepest and darkest fears..?" Jack answered with the question, earning a dark chuckle from Alexis.

"Vell, zen good luck getting z'ough zat 'o'ah'de." Alexis darkly chimed, before running away from Jack...Who turned to face the opening jaws of a zombie, letting out a girlish scream...And screamed again when the zombies head then fell against the wall, having been hit by a bullet from Alexis. Jack then gulped, before activating his heli-pack, and sticking to the ceiling as the decaying dead tried to claw at him.

After realizing that this place was basically a never-ending asylum, the evil boy genius sighed. "That's it, I'm leaving this one! This is just WAY to wierd...It's time, for Omi."

Then, in a whirl of black dots, Jack left before one of the infected could bite him.

~elsewhere in the dream~

Alexis grunted as she ran through the hallway, swinging the machete in her hand at all the dead persona that met her eye...Before realizing that she was suddenly surrounded. Stupid dream logic...

"Vell zen, t'ah'me to join zee ozahs zen." Alexis whispered, before pulling the pins off of the grenades on her chest. Then, closing her eyes to-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" a voice from outside her head yelled, making Alexis blink in surprise. Omi..?


Alexis slowly opened her eyes, blinking when she heard the scared chattering of teeth in the room beside her. With quiet footsteps, Alexis moved the paper screen, to see Omi cowering underneath his blanket.

...

..

"Mon frere." Alexis whispered as she tip-toed into the room, picking up Omi and holding his frightened form as she slowly exited the compound. Once outside and in the garden, the French-girl moved away the blanket, and frowned a bit at Omi's scared eyes.

"Oh, Omi...Vhat 'apponed..?"

"Sister..I...I don't..." Omi's quivering voice could barely respond, making Alexis tightly hug him and rub his back.

"Eet es okay...You don't 'ave to tell me...Shhh." Alexis softly spoke to the Temple-boy, who clung to her shirt as his eyes clenched shut.

Alexis; little child, be not afraid
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight

Omi sniffed as he rested against Alexis' chest, listening to her beating heart.

Alexis; little child, be not afraid
the wind makes creatures of our trees
and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand
and I am here tonight

And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

Alexis then sighed as she pulled back a bit, looking into Omi's eyes with that odd sense of understanding...Slowly, the female touched Omi's cheek, rubbing it with a feather-like touch.

Alexis; for you know, once even I was a
little child, and I was afraid
but a gentle someone always came
to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
and to give a kiss goodnight

well now I am grown
and these years have shown
that rain's a part of how life goes
but it's dark and it's late
so I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close

And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land

And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning

With that last line, Alexis smiled at Omi's peaceful face as he had finally fallen back asleep. With a small adjustment, Alexis re-wrapped the blanket over both her and Omi...Before leaning her head against the younger-boy's, and falling back to sleep.


Alexis sighed as she woke up, her scheduled alarm-clock in her pants was buzzing...Thank goodness for phone alarms, right..? Looking around a bit, Alexis was a bit surprised that she was outside..

Only to remember the night's activities..

Riiiiiight.

With a glance bellow her, the French-girl couldn't help but smile at softly-snoring Omi, who was limply laying down atop her.

..

...

This just reminded her, that she still had to call and talk to Stanford..

Carefully, Alexis carried the sleeping boy back to the compound, and laid him down in his bed...Before going off and starting her morning routine.


Alexis hummed as she put the toast on the plate, the others working in the kitchen also for today. Yet...Well.

Alexis watched as Omi fell into a batter bowl, the egg he had been holding was sent flying and hit Clay. Clay, in return, swung around and accidentally threw the pancake in the frying pan into Raimundo's face. While falling backwards, Raimundo spilled some of the orange juice onto the floor..Only for Kimiko to slip in said orange juice, sending the pieces of baking flying at Omi...Giving him bacon eyebrows.

"Sorry...Ah guess ah'm a tad tired. Ah didn't get enough shut-eye ta put the wag in a flea's tail." Clay told the group, before Master Fung suddenly appeared in the doorway.

"Looks like my young monks had trouble sleeping last night." Master Fung pointed out, before Raimundo chimed in.

"Actually, I had a pretty gross dream. Jack Spicer was in it." this seemed to spark a common interest in Alexis, Clay, and Kimiko..While Omi nervously stood behind them

"'ee vas in mine, also"

"Me two! Did he do his evil laugh?"

"Yeah, and it was so annoying!"

"Now that Jack has the Shadow of Fear, it's very possible that he has been visiting your dreams." Master Fung told the group, Alexis shrugged her shoulders. Oh well, she normally had most people's nightmares for regular dreams...If Jack wanted to get into her head, he'd better be ready for something like had what happened last night.

"Talk about wanting to wash my brain out..!" Kimiko complained, before Omi put on a brave face and stepped forward.

"Uh...I am not afraid of anything Jack Spicer may find inside my head!" Omi tried to bravely speak, all but Master Fung and Alexis seem to be convinced by this...

"Omi, since you are so...Unafraid, you will watch over the Shen Gong Wu." Master Fung's declaration made Omi's eyes shrink in fear, before Alexis hatched a plan in her head.


Alexis yawned as she sat atop the Meditation Room's roof, before sipping her coffee...Mmmmmm, coffee.

"Well, well, well...Look at what we have here!" Jack whispered to Alexis, who jumped up and prepared to fight. "You know...I'm actually a bit curious about this...Soooo, Shadow of Fears!"

Alexis then stared in shock as the dark purple mist wrapped around her...Before she fell to the ground.


~In Alexis' Mind~

"'ello..?" I tried to call out, scared senseless as I tried to walk...Only to not feel my legs move.

Looking around, I saw only one thing; nothing.

..

I couldn't smell, I couldn't feel...

I couldn't even tell if I was breathing.

Dear lord, where was I? Where were the others?.!

"'e-ello..? A-Anybody..?" I tried again, only to not hear the sound of my own voice.

...


"Uhmm.." Jack uncomfortably said as he watched Alexis move her hands around blindly, before flinching when she unknowingly crawled almost over the side of the roof. "Jack-Bots!"

Quickly the robots grabbed the French-girl, who was still moving her legs as she tried to speak. With a bit of instructing, Jack smiled at his work a bit. Now Alexis was left hanging with a rope around her waist from a tree, still trying to talk to...Whoever she was trying to talk to..! With small, frightened tears falling.

"Okay, now...Time for the Shen Gong Wu.." Jack told the camera, from behind Wuya rolled her eyes.

"About time..!"


Alexis groaned as her mind finally cleared, before blinking out the dark circles from her teary eyes. She had never been so scared in her entire life..!

She was-had...Had been, all alone.

"Anyvone zhere?.!" Alexis called out, before sighing in relief when Master Fung walked out of the main building with a surprised look.

"Alexis..? Why are you..." Master Fung then looked over the situation, not really knowing how to sum all of this up.

"I do not vant to talk about eet, vhere a'he zee ozahs..?" Alexis asked while the elder untied the rope, looking around at the area before them.

"They left to go and take by the Shen Gong Wu Jack has stolen from us."

...

..

"VHAT?.!" Master Fung held his ear at the shriek, before patting Alexis' back.

"Come, we will speak more of this...Over some tea."


Alexis sighed as she breathed in the blissful fumed of the orange/brown colored liquid in front of her, before sipping in the contents of the cup. The others had been gone for quite some time now...

"Do not fear, Alexis...They will return." Master Fung told the worried French-girl, who gave him a small smile.

"Oui...I..I knov...But I just can not 'elp but..But vo'ah'y..."

"There is nothing wrong with that." Master Fung stated, before smiling a bit. "Aaah, here they are now."

Alexis then hopped up out of her seat, and ran over towards the groups. "Mon f'ah'iends..!"


Alexis sighed as she and the others stood with Master Fung in the Meditation Room, the elder talking to his students.

"It seems Jack Spicer has found your worst nightmares using the Shadow of Fear." Master Fung said, before Alexis raised her hand.

"Actually, 'ee only found one of my fea'h's, not mon nightma'e.." that was when Kimiko suddenly came into the picture, holding up a camera.

"Wait! Check this out! It's one of Jack's Camera-Bots taken out during the raid!" Kimiko informed, before she started up the camera. Everyone watched then as Kimiko punched Jack, Raimundo and Clay took down a few Jack-Bots, Jack getting a rather unsightly close up...And Omi running away from what seemed to be a mutant, giant squirrel...Wait..

What?.!

"Why didn't you warn us little buckaroo..?" CLay asked the smaller boy, who was frowning sadly as he stood up.

"I was..Too ashamed to tell any of you...Perhaps if I had, you could have been better prepared for our most humiliating defeat.." Omi sadly spoke, before Dojo started to wig out.

"Sorry to break up this downer fest, but I'm sensin' another Shen Gong Wu!" with that, Dojo hopped over and opened the Scroll. "The Crouching Cougar, an excellent ground vehicle for jungle-travel. With all the power and handling any young warrior could ask for."

"Do not lost hope. Realizing one's fears is the first step to facing them." Master Fung spoke as the group left, hoping the best for his students.


Alexis and the group looked nervously towards one another, each one as nervous as the last. Alexis was sitting right between Kimiko and Clay.

"I'm all for listening to Master Fung's wiseness, but facing my fear isn't gonna work..! It's only gonna get me eaten!" Raimundo called out, making Alexis nod her head.

"Oui, and I bet zat Jack vill t'ah'y to avaken a diff'ah'ent fea' fo'ah' me...To 'elp viz 'is damn movie.." Alexis softly spoke, pouting a bit.

"But what can we do..?" Kimiko asked the group, before Omi suddenly piped in.

"Perhaps we should swap fears..!"

The group smiled at each other, before starting a high-five train, ending with Omi...Who fived himself.

"Kimiko, eef I knov Spicah...Zee fea' 'ee vill open fo'ah' me vill be bettah off against you." Alexis told the Japanese girl, who nodded her head.

"Okay, and Omi..? I think you and Tamochika could go head-to-head."

"Clay, the Monster-Squirrel will have a mooost difficult time with you then."

"Raimundo, partner, mah granny couldn't get a touch on you, with those fast moves of yers."

"And Nani, I'm pretty sure you could make a pretty good meal with this Jelly-Fish that's been buggin' me."


This commercial break is brought to you by this episode; where no animals were harmed during the typing of said episode...Besides the ones, who got hurt.


The group all stood still for a moment as the purplish-mist came towards them as they stood atop a rocky mesa side.

"Here they come!" Kimiko shouted out, before Alexis' eyes dialated. Crud, she had been right.

The monster that was coming towards her was that blob of fire that had haunted her dreams since she was little, the one that could spew out lightning at any time...Well, glad Kimiko was on the case!

"Remember the plan." Omi began, before the group looked at one another. "SWITCH!"

Kimiko then traded places with Alexis.
Alexis traded spots with Raimundo.
Raimundo switched out with Clay.
Clay then took up Omi's opponent.
Then the Temple-Boy took on Kimiko's fear.

"I 'andled vo'ah'se sea'ah'ood zen you vhen I vas a baby!" Alexis yelled out, before getting a good kick into the sea-creature, shoving it backwards...Giving the squirrel and Clay something to land on...Yet, from behind, Alexis heard a clap of thunder which caused her to shutter. With her guard down, the jelly-monster attacked, making the Fan Dango fall out of her pocket...And into Jack's hands as he flew past, going up to the cougar.

"Jack Spicer..! STOP HIM!" Omi called out, before everyone stopped fighting...Only to start climbing up the mesa side after Jack, who was complaining about a close-up as they reached the flat ground.

Before they all touched the Shen Gong Wu at the same time. And by 'all', Alexis meant, ALL. The fears, AND the warriors...Man..

"It's aaaa...5..6...8..9..10-way Xiaolin Showdown!" Omi's declaration earned a surprised 'huh' from the group.

"Is there such a thing..?" Kimiko questioned, before all looked to Dojo as the dragon flipped through the rule-book.

"Up-up-up wait-wait-wait...Oh, oh, here it is..! It's in the supplemental pages that came out in the last 200 years...Basically, it's 5-against-5, each wagering one Shen Gong Wu." Whoa...

"Whooo-wee! We're gonna needa wheel-barrel full of Wu fer this Showdown!" Clay commented, before Omi suddenly stood up as the Shen Gong Wu started to appear.

"Then we wager out Two-Ton Tunic, Shroud of Shadows, Lotus Twiser, Tao Choker, and Silk Spinner..! Against your Serpent's Tail, Eye of Dashi, Third-Arm Sash, Fan Dango, and Fist of Tebigong..!"

"Slow down! I can't write that fast!" Dojo called out to the group, scrambling to get this all down into the rule book.

"The game is a Free-for-all Sumo-Match, face-to-face with your own worst fear. First to leave the ring, loses!" Jack told his camera-bot, before being praised by Wuya.

"Aaaah, brilliant Jack! Bravo!"...Only to be thrown out of the camera pane.

"Then, it was up to Omi to call it out. "Then, let's go...XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"


Alexis gave an embarrassed blush as she and the others grew in girth, their clothing exploded to give way to large sumo diapers and red shirts for her and Kimiko. Thankfully, she would have died if she had been given a large bra like the disfigured doll that Kimiko had to face. Her belt was a bright green color, Raimundo's was a yellowish color, Clay had a muffled blue that matched the sash on his hat, Kimiko had the same blue sash like on their temple robes, and Omi had a red belt...Plus, he had the Two-Ton Tunic on.

Lucky little monk...

"This is moooost embarrassing.." Omi said as he fell onto his side, the group had to agree...

"Ah use ta do a little wrasslin back home but...Only with greased pigs.!" Clay informed the group, Alexis nodded her head.

"Same, but viz mon brozahs and aligato'ah's..." Alexis chimed in, earning surprised looks from the group. "I 'ad an...Int'ah'esting childhood..."

"Enough chatter, let's wrestle!" Jack declared from over them, sitting upon a hovering director's chair. "By the way guys, cool diapers!"

"GONG YI TAN PI!" all 10 of them yelled, before the doll took the first step. "EYE OF DASHI!"

Then, all hell broke lose.


Alexis gave a frightened scream as she ran along the sides of the ring, trying to get away from the mass of fire and electricity.

"GOAVAY!GOAVAY!GOAVAAAAAAY!" Alexis cried out as she continued to run, before giving a frightened shriek when she saw the fire coming around her from both sides then.

"Don't be sc'ah'ed..." Alexis whispered to herself, cleanching her eyes shut...Before sighing as she breathed in the smoke. "THORN WALL!"

With that built-up of her chi, Alexis then formed the thorny dome around her again. With an incoherant gurgle-noise from the flame-monster, it started to envelop the dome...Only for it to yell when the dome was suddenly pushed up and over the wall.

"HA-HA!" Alexis happily called out, before sharing a grin with Omi as he threw his Squirrel out of the ring. Next was the doll, who practically flew over the edge from Kimiko. Next out was Grandma Lily, who was flipped outside by Clay.

Yet, on Grandma's way out, she had pushed aside both Raimundo and the Jelly-Monster, both of who'm got up..Only for Raimundo to smirk as he motioned the purplish-blob to look down...Only to see his feet tendrils stepping outside the neon blue/green boundaries.

"YOU'RE OUT!" all the Xiaolin Warriors yelled out, leaving the Jelly-Fish to pout before being sucked out of the arena. Leaving the group to happily cheer as they reverted back to their original forms.

"Tres bein~" (Alexis)

"We are victorious!" (Omi)

"Knew we could do it!" (Kimiko)

"All the way!" (Raimundo)

"Notta lip bruise anywhere..!" (Clay)

"Non, vere es vone." Alexis told Clay, who smirked at her.

"Oh really, and uh, where is it little lady..?" Clay asked, before he blushed brightly when Alexis wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

"Riiiiiight zhere."


From above them all, an armored figure with dark green hair is seen watching the group...Omi and Alexis, to be exact.

"Soon..." the man whispered, before disappearing out of sight.


Alexis was once again humming as she washed some potatoes, figuring some sweet potatoes would go nice with the dinner she was maki-

"Uhm...Sister..?" Omi called out from the doorway, the French-girl gave him a smile while turning a bit.

"Bonjour Omi." the smaller boy then walked up beside her, bowing his head a little.

"I am sorry for...For the mistakes I have made these past few days, really I am...I just..I just didn't wish for you to be disappointed in me being afraid of a-a..A squirrel..." Omi apologized to his elder, who gave him a small smile as she set down the spuds and knelled before him, hugging his form tightly.

"Mon Cher, eet es okay...Evahyvone is sca'ed of somezing.." Alexis whispered to the boy, who hugged her back..Before quirking an eyebrow.

"Then, what is another thing that you are scared of..?" Omi's question made Alexis back up, and give the Temple-boy a small kiss to the head.

"Vone of mon biggest fea's...Es losing you and zee ozahs."

..

...

"Thank you, Sister...You have been moooost helpful."

"Anytime mon frere...Anytime."


Mayhemb; *giggles* I, very much, enjoyed this chapter...Okay! See you all again soon!
