UXD: Guess what I've got!
Hanbags: A girlfriend?
UXD: No
Jiggy: Two girlfriends?
UXD: …Shut up Jiggy…Soon we will be able to put some form of picture on our profiles (Select Extras on profile), and I thought, why not draw something like my Fanfic name, but then I saw DeafLizgon's comic (Which by the way…KICK'S ASS!) and then I decided…
Colza: That you'd waste time on drawing a promo for "The Legend of the Thunder Child", instead of writing "Apocalypse Cone"?
UXD: I think of it as a useful use of my time, now that I never have to go to school ever again, I have more time on my hands, so as well as writing my stories, I've now started drawing!
Colza: Timewaster…
UXD: I'm going to draw a picture for each of my stories
Colza: Bigger Timewaster…
UXD: Shut up! Anywho, on with the chapter…

52: The Four Trials
"Do you really think you have any chance of beating me?" said Logan "I have more power than all of you combined! I was the one who forced everyone in this city to evacuate!"
There was a grunt as Ryan walked onto the screen and sniffed the camera.
"Ryan! Do you mind?" yelled Logan "You're ruining my coolness!"
Ryan snorted as he walked behind Logan and looked at the camera.
"As you can see" said Logan "I have complete control over Ryan"
Kimiko growled as she watched Logan stroke Ryan's head as if he was a cat.
"Where are you hiding, you yellow bellied snake!" yelled Clay. Logan laughed as he looked down from the large the TV.
"I'm up at the Dragon Coliseum" said Logan "Come and get me!"
"Keep taking Logan!" yelled Omi "We will make you devour your words!"
"Ha!" laughed Logan "Just try it! I can't wait to see you get through my four trials!"
The TV flickered before turning off; the area became quiet as a gust of wind blew through the square.
"What did he mean by the four trials?" Clay as they all looked at Dojo; he said nothing as he shrugged his shoulders.
"What about the Dragon Coliseum?" said Kimiko.
"The training grounds of dragons" said Dojo "Also the home of the world's greatest hot dogs!"
"Okay…" said Omi "Let's get going!
They all nodded in agreement as Dojo super sized, they climbed on and he took off into the sky. In the distance was a large building floating on a separate island to the main island. The building looked quite run down and old.
"Is that the Coliseum?" said Clay as Dojo flew towards the building.
"Yep" said Dojo "I must warn you, the layout of the place isn't easy, it's one big labyrinth"
"Where would Logan be?" said Omi.
"My guess" said Dojo "In the central arena, waiting for us"
"All right" said Kimiko "Let's go!"
Dojo landed outside the coliseum front gate, he shrank down to his normal size and curled up on Clay's hat as they walked in through the main entrance. The place was a bit of wreck due to years on not being used, posters of shows and events were peeling from the wall, the odd bit of rubble lay in the ground that had fell from the roof.
"This place is a dump" said Raimundo " Logan could have at least picked a place with some class"
"Must be the cleaner's day off…" said Dojo. The proceeded through on of the doors into a room that had four large doors on the opposite wall, each one was crudely marked with the words, Fire, Water, Wind and Earth.
"What now?" said Kimiko as they approached the doors. There was a sudden buzzing noise, they all looked up and saw another TV screen above them with Logan's face looking down on them.
"What do you think?" said Logan "These are the four trials, one for each loser…I mean warrior"
Kimiko rolled her eyes as she approached the door marked Fire, the door opened up automatically as she got close to it.
"We don't have time for your games and fun!" said Omi "Where is Ryan?"
"Don't worry" said Logan "Ryan, along with the Rio Reverso, will be waiting for you at the end of your executions…I mean trials"
"Just you wait and see!" said Raimundo "Our training and Wu will make short work of your trials! Dojo?"
Dojo pulled out the Changing Chopsticks and pointed them to his ear; his head swelled up as a big bag of Wu popped out and landed next to him. He was about open it when an evil laugh echoed from behind them. Then from nowhere, Jack flew past and grabbed the bag from Dojo's hands.
"Ah, Jack Spicer" sighed Logan "Your timing is impeccable"
"That's right baby!" taunted Jack as he landed on the floor, "Jack Spicer is in da house!"
Logan sighed as he pushed a button on his chair, a trapdoor opened up under Jack and Dojo; they both fell down into the darkness along with the bag of Wu.
"Dojo!" cried Omi as he looked down the hole, Logan laughed as he watched them all crowd around the hole.
"If you want to see your precious Wu and pet gecko again" said Logan "Hurry up and do the trials! Bye!"
The screen flickered as it switched off. The dragons looked at each other as they slowly walked towards their doors.
"Well…" sighed Clay "Here goes nothing"
They all stepped into the darkness of the corridor, their heart rate rose as they went deeper into the labyrinth.
Water Trial…
Omi squinted in the darkness as he walked down the passageway; he was having a hard time walking because he would trip up on a vine every few seconds.
"This is most ridiculous!" growled Omi as he fell over for the tenth time, "Can someone please turn on the light!"
"Oui, mon petite cheezeball!" said a dark voice, the lights came on and Omi gasped. Before he could react, his body was wrapped up in the vines of the Heylin plant. The Heylin plant laughed as he tightened his vines around Omi, slowly crushing him with tremendous force.
Earth Trial…
Clay shivered as he walked down his corridor, as he went deeper, the temperature got lower. He looked at his feet when he stepped in something soft, it was snow.
"Snow?" said Clay as he picked some up, "Is this the refrigerator?"
He rolled the handful of snow into a snowball and threw it across the room. As it hit the floor, Clay felt the snow under him move up, and before he could dive out of the way, a hand grabbed him and lifted him into the air.
"Whoa Nelly!" cried Clay as Raksha's huge form rose from the snow, he laughed as he blew an icy blast of air at Clay. Clay's body immediately froze solid, except his head, leaving him completely immobilized.
Wind Trial…
Raimundo cautiously walked down the corridor, keeping an eye out for anything to move from the shadows. As he turned a corner, he stopped in his tracks. The whole area ahead of him was a deep, sparkling blue.
"Oh crap…" said Raimundo as he saw something that was camouflaged in the blue passageway move out towards him. He dived out of the way, narrowly missing a blast of sapphire breath.
"Ha! You missed!" laughed Raimundo as the Sapphire Dragon slivered out in front of him; it raised an eyebrow as Raimundo got to his feet. He looked down and gasped, the blast of fire managed to catch his right foot and his whole foot and his leg up to his knee was solid sapphire.
"Ah, crap!" gasped Raimundo as he looked up, the Sapphire Dragon blasted another ball of blue fire at him and because of his sapphire leg, and Raimundo couldn't get out of the way in time. He screamed as he felt the rest of his body freeze, leaving his head free.
Fire Trial…
Kimiko shuddered as she heard the cries of Raimundo, Clay and Omi echo down the passageway. She knew they were in danger, and so was she. She was so busy worrying about her friends that she didn't notice that a huge earwig was crawling along the roof above her. He jumped down on top of her, knocking her to the ground. She screamed as he swung a claw at her, whacking her into a wall. She cried out in pain as she gripped her arm where Sibini had slashed her. But before she could get to her feet, Sibini had lifted her up by the neck and pinned her to the wall, slowly choking her.
"Excellent work!" said Logan as he watched action replays of the dragon's defeat over and over again, "You're all just as ruthless as Ryan"
He grinned as he watched Omi being crushed by vines, Clay shivering in his ice cube, Raimundo trying to break out of his sapphire prison and Kimiko kicking her feet in midair, trying to breathe.
"Now then Ryan" said Logan as he turned to Ryan, "Let's see the end of the Xiaolin dragons! Sibini, Raksha, Sapphire Dragon, Heylin plant…Kill them"
Ryan walked towards the monitors as he watched the Heylin plant begin to crush Omi with more vines, Raksha raised his foots to stomp on Clay, the Sapphire Dragon opened his mouth to finish Raimundo off, and Sibini raised a claw to Kimiko's stomach, preparing to gut her like a fish. But just as Sibini raised the claw in the air, Ryan felt a strange feeling in the back of his mind, he tried to ignore it, but it seemed to take over.
"No…" he murmured "Kimiko…"
"Ryan?" said Logan "You okay?"
"Kimiko!" cried Ryan "Don't worry! I'll save you!"
"Ryan!" yelled Logan as Ryan ran towards the door, "Get back here at once!"
"No!" roared Ryan as he tried to force the door open, "I must save her! I love her!"
Logan's eyes widened as he said that, and he immediately pulled out the Shadow of Fear and aimed it at him. A purple haze shot out of it and hit Ryan, Ryan roared as he rolled over onto the floor unconscious.
"Hmm…" thought Logan as he walked up to him, "His immune system has begun to fight the Dragon Toxicosis…Guardian Angel and my master will need to know about this…"
He looked back at the monitors.
"Change of plan everyone!" said Logan "Bring the dragons alive to the main arena!"
He narrowed his eyes as he stood over Ryan's body.
"We will soon see how much you really love her…"
UXD: Oooooh…(I almost said Duh Duh DUH!) That's another chapter done…
Colza: Who's Guardian Angel?
UXD: Err…Nobody…
Colza: You're hiding something? Who's Guardian Angel?
UXD: R&R everyone! Bye! (Runs off)
