*Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay, Dojo, Liu Kang, Sofia, Vanellope, and I are in an Egyptian tomb searching for a mystical item*
Raimundo: Egypt. Cool.
Dojo: There will be plenty of time for sightseeing later. Right now, we need to look for the Shen Gong Wu called the Solar Saber.
Omi: Ah, yes, the Solar Saber. Its reflective blade has the power to release powerful bursts of solar energy.
Vanellope: Well, what are we standing around for? We have a Shen Gong Wu to find.
*We scramble around searching for the Solar Saber until Liu Kang spots a bronze scimitar with a sun etched on the finger-guard among a treasure pile*
Liu Kang: Hey, guys! I found it.
Sofia: I'll go and get it.
*Sofia goes over to reach for the saber, but once she does, we hear a voice from above*
?: Not so fast, Xiaolin Losers! That Wu is mine!
*We turn around and spot a teenage boy about as tall as Raimundo with pale white skin, red eyes, and red hair garbed in black with a heli-pack on his back and yellow and red spiral goggles on his head*
Omi: Jack Spicer! Your arrival is most terrible.
Jack: Save it, cue ball! Jack-Bots, attack!
*A fleet of dark brown and black robots come at us. We fight them off as much as we could. Vanellope spots Spicer going for the Solar Saber and glitches over to it. They touch it at the very same time, causing it to glow*
Vanellope: I don't think so, Jack! I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!
Sofia: A what showdown?
Omi: A Xiaolin Showdown. It only occurs when two warriors on opposite sides fight over a Shen Gong Wu.
Me: I see.
Vanellope: Mummy Maze is the name of the game. I wager my Shroud of Shadows against your Monkey Staff. First to get caught by the mummies or in a trap loses.
Jack: Jack Spicer, evil boy genius, never turns down a challenge, especially from a little girl.
Both: Let's go, Xiaolin Showdown!
*The tomb around us transforms into a gigantic maze. Both Vanellope and Jack are in the center of the maze while the rest of us are perched atop a stone platform. We see mummies rise from the ground in random spots in the maze. They start to hear moaning coming their way*
Both: Gong Yi Tanpai!
*The both of them run in opposite directions*
The 7 Weapons
Chapter 38: Arriving in Fortuna
Inside the Round Room of the Castle That Never Was, Xehanort is pondering about how they should intercept the Heroes of the Realms. As he was pondering, a Corridor of Darkness opens and in came Sindel, Ares, Noob Saibot, Rain, Sheeva, and Xigbar. Ares was carrying an unconscious D'Vorah on his shoulders.
"What happened to D'Vorah?" Xehanort questioned D'Vorah's condition.
"My guess is Mileena happened." Rain answered him.
"We had the others begging for mercy when this green guy came with Mileena and had a mini-gun, obliterated my entire squadron of Heartless." Xigbar added.
"Hmm…" Xehanort pondered more as Shinnok, Zod, and Quan Chi entered the Round Room. Accompanying the two sorcerers was a man in his early to mid-30s. He wore a white captain's uniform with a white coat, a red belt, black straps on the legs and black boots. Strapped to the belt was a sword.
"Xehanort, we have a visitor." Shinnok reported, motioning to the white-garbed swordsman. Xigbar takes notice and aims one of his Arrow Guns at his head.
"Identify yourself." Xigbar commanded. The swordsman simply chuckled.
"Please, do you honestly think those can defeat someone like me?" The swordsman questioned, using the grip of the sword to push away the gun slowly.
"I'll say this again. Identify yourself." Xigbar commanded through his teeth.
"I am the captain of the Holy Knights. My name is Credo." He introduces himself.
"Welcome, Credo." Xehanort greeted him. "What is your intention of coming here?"
"I seek your aid. You see, there are two half-demons running amok in the pleasant island town of Fortuna." Credo explained.
"Half-demons, you say?" Quan Chi asked.
"Yes. Do you know anyone by the name Sparda?"
"Pardon my rudeness, but who is this Sparda?" Xehanort questioned.
"He was once known as the Legendary Dark Knight. 2000 years ago, he fought and defeated an entire legion of demons alone. Fearing that his power would grow too powerful when he sealed away the Netherworld, he also sealed himself and his demonic power." Credo explained.
"Right… Did he escape?" Ares asked.
"He did and with the stealth of a cobra, he ruled the human world and preserved harmony. However, before his death, he had managed to resurface in the 20th century and married a human woman named Eva, who later bore twin sons: Dante and Vergil."
"Whatever happened to them?" Shinnok asked.
"When the twins were eight years old, Eva was murdered during a demon attack. And Sparda, well, they say he vanished and later died."
"And how exactly do you think locating these two help you?" Xehanort questioned.
"One of the brothers' swords, the Yamato, is the only thing capable of opening a portal to the Netherworld. I need some of you to accompany me in retrieving it."
"Very well. Quan Chi, Zod, Shinnok, you three will accompany Credo on his search. I will provide you with an army of Heartless. Shiva and Grievous will assist you as well." Xehanort commanded.
"I will see to it that this portal will be opened." Zod complies with a bow.
Inside the Negotiator's debriefing room, Obi-Wan and Anakin are conversing about how Fortuna will look when they arrive. After about 20 minutes, everyone comes in and takes their seat.
"Ah, you're here. Alright, let's recap on what we have so far. Anakin, if you would?" Obi-Wan motioned to Anakin.
"Right." Anakin complied as he activated the holo-map. "So far, we have visited eight worlds, each with a piece of Pandora." Anakin explained.
"Correct, and we currently have five of the seven Weapons of the Gods." Scarlett added as she stood up. "Now, as I said earlier, Dante is a soldier of my army. He inherited the sword, Rebellion, as a memento from his father, the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda."
"Sparda?" Ahsoka asked.
"Yes. When he and his twin brother were eight, their mother, a human named Eva, was killed in a demon attack led by Mundus, Sparda's greatest rival. As of that day, people there have been saying he disappeared and died years later."
"I feel a little bad for Dante." Clio noted.
"We all feel guilt for someone, Clio." Sofia reassured with an agreeing nod from Hildegard. After she said those words, Captain Rex came in with Commander Cody.
"General Kenobi, we have confirmed our arrival in Fortuna." Captain Rex reported.
"Great work, Captain. Set up our ships. We need to land outside the city so we couldn't draw any attention." Obi-Wan commanded.
"Yes, sir." Rex and Cody saluted and left for the hangar.
"I sure hope Dante can understand what we have to say to him." Riku wondered.
"He will, Riku. He will." Mason assured him as they left to meet with the demon hunter.
*Jack Spicer and Vanellope have spent about ten minutes running around the maze, avoiding mummies and traps. When Vanellope spots Spicer ahead and notices a mummy coming her way, she taunted the mummy*
Vanellope: Hey, scarab-breath! Over here!
*That insult angers it and charges right at her. She held her place and once it was in position…*
Vanellope: Shroud of Shadows!
*She used the shroud to turn invisible and evade the mummy, making it tackle Jack, which made him to scream like a baby*
Jack: Great. Thrashed by a little girl.
*The tomb returns to normal and we gather around the Sugar Rush president holding the three Shen Gong Wu. We all applaud for her*
Sofia: That was amazing!
Raimundo: I never knew you had it in you.
Vanellope: Aw, stop it, Rai. You're making me blush.
Me: We should head back to the Xiaolin Temple and put the Wu in its rightful place. You readers are welcome to RRF. Archer out.
