Episode 19: Jack's Revenge

At Jack's house, Jack was fuming. Just yesterday, he found out that the Monks and Gems played him like a fiddle. He found out that they knew his Spybots, knew about Peridot, and knew about his and Peridot's alliance...all before he could boastfully announce Peridot's impending arrival. To make matters worse, Peridot lost communications to the Kindergarten. Peridot did report the issue to her diamond and told Jack that back up will arrives as soon as she can but she needs some assistance to gather up. Jack told her that as soon as possible isn't enough as he wants immediate revenge. Peridot can't support Jack at this time and needs time to build some resources. However, she did mention that she did get a fellow gem to head to Earth with her as her escort.

Needless to say, Jack's mood is overall sucky. Any chance of Peridot's arrival asap is now going to be a good while, and any contact with Wuya is out the window, even though he doesn't want Wuya's help after that betrayal. "Stupid Monks...Stupid Gems." Jack mumbles to himself working on his Project Rebirth and Project Morph blueprints. "If they know about this, then I would completely lose it!" Jack slams his fist down and began to look red in the face. Not from pain, not from embarrassment, but from pure fiery rage. "All of my live, I've been dumped on. Monks besting me in every possible way to Sunday, Garnet pinning me with that metal ball that injured me, Steven besting Katnappe…even though I wanted her get knocked down a peg, but still…and now THIS!" Jack said with a heated tone. "Them knowing of my Spybots and Peridot's impending arrival! Even I wouldn't step to that low of a blow."

Jack looks back at his blueprints and sees nothing but untapped potential. "If only they knew about Project Morph and Project Rebirth." Jack said with an evil chuckle. "If Peridot approve of this, production will begin as soon as I can and with all the tech homeworld could provide…well, the Gems and Monks would be smacked around 6 ways to Sunday. Once they are knocked out, I can easily conquer the world with all this tech and remain unopposed. Even Wuya couldn't get to my level." Jack's fire has been lit for a while and it only gotten more intense after yesterday. The amount of fire and passion he is feeling hasn't been seen or felt in a very long time. "Once a new Wu activates, I will exact a revenge." Jack boast. He then looks back at his 3 shen gong wus. "I can't really use the ring of 9 dragons for anything for a good while, so my best bets are the changing chopsticks and the monkey staff." Jack said. "If I want to get more wus...I need to use the Shen Yi Bu dare to my advantage. It's an all in for me. My last bet. If I succeed, then I might get a few extra wus that could tide me over. If failed…Peridot is my last shot." Jack said to himself. "But if that fail…" Jack shakes his head and slams his fist on the table. Pain runs though his hand but he toughed it out. Jack would have cried but this is the new Jack, he thought to himself, and he will not quit from a simple little pain.

Back at Beach City, The Gems and the Monks returned from a mission and Pearl and Steven went to somewhere to do something secret. The Monks were told by Steven that Pearl is taking him somewhere and would be out of commission if a Wu activates. Garnet and Amethyst were busy getting some weapons into Amethyst's room for storage, so the Monks hold down the fort of the House. Clay was relaxing on the couch, Kimiko was sitting next to Clay, surfing the web on her laptop and Omi was meditating, relaxing his body again. "You know, I never seen Jack get more angry than a raging bull in a china shop." Clay commented. "Eh, he'll get over it. He'll whine and moan about it but will try to "get revenge" on us but would be too weak to do so." Kimiko said. "It's the same song and dance." Omi overheard that and slowly gets up. "You most sure about that, Kimiko?" Omi said. "I'm just not that sure, I'm fully confident." Kimiko said. "Besides, I've been keeping track of the wus we have and Jack have. All Jack has are the Monkey Staff, the Ring of 9 Dragons, and the Changing Chopsticks. Two or three good showdowns in our favor and Jack is out of wu and can't do anything about it."

Dojo and Master Fung comes up to them. "Talk about Jack Spicer, I see." Master Fung said. "I know Jack has a bad record as of now but we must not go easy on him." "I get where you are coming from, Master Fung, but I don't think Jack would outfox us anytime soon." Kimiko said. "Think about it. We know his plan with Peridot, his spybots, and he down to three shen gong wu. Unless we have a disaster streak for the showdowns, there's no way Jack can comeback from this. All because Wuya got impatient and tried attacking with Mala Mala Jong." "Well, that maybe a good argument, Kimiko, but here's my counterargument. Jack may not be the fastest nor the strongest, but he is definitely intelligent. May I remind you that he used the Chameleon-bot to sub you out and used the Changing Chopstick to snatch up most of the wu when it was discovered?" Master Fung said. Kimiko did remember getting snatched up by Jack and being replaced by Jack's Chameleon-bot. By the time she came back and manage to defeat it, Jack used the changing chopsticks to snatch up most of their wus. Not all of them, but it did hurt them for a good while. If it wasn't for the Mala Mala Jong incident, they would be near equal grounds on wu counts.

"Well, true…but that was one time and I think we can handle Jack. Besides, he's not that strong and his robot are disposable. If anything, he's as vulnerable as he is before." Kimiko said. "I think that there is a saying that could be applied to Jack. When you are cornered and have little to no options, what will he do, fight or flight?" Master Fung said. Kimiko just laughs a bit. "Oh, Jack would flight, hands down." Kimiko said. "Sorry, Master Fung, but Kimiko is right." Clay said. "Yes, she does bring up some most good arguments. Jack isn't a fighter." Omi said. "*sighs* Very well. I'll just let you three be." Master Fung said, as he walks away. Dojo slithers up to Kimiko. "So, how have you been handling yourself since…well, Raimundo's departure?" Dojo said. "It's still kinda stings a little that Rai isn't here but I'm slowly accepting it. Besides, when Jack loses the remaining wus, we might not have to worry about him at all. Our focus should be on Peridot and preventing her arrival." Kimiko said. Dojo was about to say something when he senses something. A new Wu!

"A new Shen Gong Wu just revealed itself!" Dojo said as he pulls out the scroll. He then discovers that it's the Sphere of Yun. "Ah, the Sphere of Yun. It creates an invisible impenetrable prison around the enemy. It's basically like the Gems bubble ability, trapping poofed gems they captured." Dojo explained. "Yea, they told us that a few days ago." Clay mentioned. "Yea, if the Gems get damaged enough, they retreat back to their gemstone." Kimiko added. "Well, there is one problem...who's hanging back?" Dojo said. Just then, Garnet and Amethyst walked out of the temple. "Ah, perfectly timed, guys." Dojo said. "look, a new we activated, can you two guard the wus so Jack doesn't steal them…just in case?" "We'll make sure he won't lay a finger on them." Garnet said with a smirk. "Yea and we'll make sure he'll cry home to his mama." Amethyst said. Dojo nods as the Monks heads out the door. Dojo shape-shift to his big state and the Monks and Dojo soon head out.

Back at Jack HQ, he was working on several of his new prototype of Jackbot called Jack-noids, a combo of Jackbots and robonoids. He's making his 3rd one as the Wu finder beeps off. "YES!" Jack shouts. "The wu finder is activated and payback is happening today. I am so ready to kick some butt." Jack then activates 300 of his jackbots. He wasn't going to light up and brought all 3 of the shen gong wus he has. This was going to be his biggest challenge yet. This was to prove that he does not need Wuya or anyone for that matter. He could stand on his own and beat the Monks. He gets into his jets and set the coordinate. "Time for me to get some sweet revenge." Jack said with an evil smile. The jets blast off and 300 jackbots follow suit. He decided not to bring any Jack-noids due to prototype stages and wanted to use them when the time is right. For now, 300 jackbots should be enough to exhaust the Monks.

Side-note: Whatever happens in Rose's Scabbard still happens...just off-screen. Go watch the episode, it's really good.

Dojo and the Monks arrive at a thick lush forest with a big mountain on top of it. It was somewhere deep in Japan. "Japan, home sweet home." Kimiko said with a big smile. They soon landed and Dojo revert back to normal. "Let's see…it's due north." Dojo said as he points to the northern direction. The Monks nods as they began heading north. Things are quiet…too quiet. They looked around and still see forest and nothing else. Just then, a Jackbot appears and surprised all 3 of them. They managed to destroy it but it only means one thing. "Looks like we're not alone." Clay said. "Hello, Xiaolin Losers." Jack said with a vicious tone. "Ready for your butt to be handed to you on a silver platter?" "Ha, as if." Kimiko said. Jack still had fires in his eyes. "Well then, if that's the case…JACKBOTS, DESTROY THEM!" Jack commands. That was new, they were attacking with no mercy. The monks were able to hold a good amount off but their energy were being wasted on the Jackbots. Just then, Kimiko kicks one of the heads off to a tree, revealing the Sphere of Yun. Jack and Kimiko notices it and leaps for it. Both of them touched it at the same time. "Kimiko, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." Jack said. "Alright, what the challenge?" Kimiko said with a smirk. Jack ponders for a second "Tree Hopping Race, first one to make the mountain wins." Jack said. "Alright, I'm game." Kimiko said. "So what are you betting?" "Ah, ah, I'm not done yet. I'm calling for a Shen Yi Bu Dare. I'm going to use my Monkey Staff and Changing Chopstick against…what did you bring?" Jack said. "I got the Eye of Dashi and the Third-Arm Sash." Kimiko said. "That will do." Jack said. "Alright, let's go." "XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" Both said.

Several flashes later, the tree grew to gigantic sizes and the mountain looked very far away. Kimiko and Jack look at each other. Kimiko noticed Jack's eyes were lit up like a match. She can't help but shake a feeling that Jack is more determent than ever before. "Gong Yi Tan Pai!" Both said at the same time. Kimiko and Jack began leaping across the tree. "Monkey Staff!" Jack said, changing to half human, half monkey. He began to leap across the trees like it was nothing and began passing Kimiko. Kimiko can't lose to Jack. No way. "Third-Arm Sash!" Kimiko said, using it to grab Jack's tail. However, Jack managed to give it the slip and even pull further ahead. "NEVER AGAIN!" Jack roars as he uses his tail to swing backwards and hit Kimiko in the face with a flying kick. This knocked Kimiko down to the ground and was out cold. Jack stood there, looking down at her with a furious anger look on his face. Jack soon began to leap some more, towards the finish line. Kimiko slowly moans as she gets up and see Jack leaping across to touch the mountain, winning the Showdown.

Several more flashes later, Jack got possession of the Sphere of Yun, Eye of Dashi and the Third-Arm Sash. Jack softly chuckles. "How on earth did Jack beat me?" Kimiko bemoans. Jack overheard that. "Because…a fire is burning with a ton of passion." Jack said. The Monks were at guard but Jack wasn't attacking. "You may not know this, but Mala Mala Jong was Wuya's idea, not mine. In fact, she backstabbed me to get it up and running. After that, I then heard that you Monks and Gems knew about Peridot earlier than I like you to and all about my Spybots." The monks began to realize something. This isn't their Jack Spicer, a pushover that got a fluke victory, but rather a new Jack Spicer, a man that is on a mission for revenge. "I've been dumped on for far too long. I hope you enjoy losing, because that's all you can do for now on." Jack added as he flies away. His remaining jackbots fly with him. Kimiko looked a bit down. Not only did she lose, but encouraged Jack to go hard on everyone. She's feeling that they were at fault now. Even Dojo felt a bit bad. Things are getting worse and worse each day and thing need to improve soon, because Peridot could arrive and aid Jack into getting his revenge. All they can do is improve.

Back at Beach City, The monks were informed on what happened to Pearl and Steven as Pearl left on the warp pad with Rose's sword and Steven is looking to find Pearl. "Man, this is really bad." Kimiko said. "And I thought losing to Jack was bad enough." "Wait, you lost to that Spicer Kid?" Amethyst said. Kimiko looks away in embarrassment. Amethyst realized the gravity of the situation. "What did you lose?" Amethyst said. "The Eye of Dashi and the Third-Arm Sash." Kimiko said. "Jack went all out on his remaining wus and managed to best Kimiko in a tree race." Clay said. "This was most uncharacteristic of Jack Spicer." Omi added. "Just as I feared." Garnet said. "I knew Jack might take to the offense to get some more wu and he did." "Yea, he called a Shen Yi Bu Dare, basically risking 2 of his remaining 3 wus to get 3 more wus." Dojo explained.

Kimiko then remembered Master Fung saying that whole fight or flight thing. "I just realized that…Master Fung was nearly right on the money with the whole fight or flight saying. I thought Jack would flight but he decided to fight and I underestimated him…" Kimiko said with a sad look at her face. Master Fung walks up. "I'm sorry to hear that, Kimiko." Master Fung said that. "It also makes me regret not bringing Raimundo up to the Xiaolin Apprentice." "I feel like I don't deserve it." Kimiko said. "Unlike Raimundo mistake, this isn't the end of the world. You simply underestimated Jack. Now that you learn not to take Jack lightly, you must put the energy to redeem yourself, quiet the storm of doubt and then we Jack finally crack." Master Fung said. Kimiko smiles a little.

Back at Jack's HQ, Jack returned to his radio and told Peridot everything. "Wait, wha? You actually bested a monk?" Peridot said with a surprised tone. "And here I thought I would not recommend revenge." "What did I tell you. I got the fire and the drive now to get revenge. You might want to get down here as soon as you can for your piece of the revenge pie…wait that didn't sound right." Jack said. "Well, I do want to inform you that we managed to get an informant and she told us everything." Peridot said. "Wait, who's the informant?" Jack said. "You mentioned you found out about us through a thing called the "newspaper" right?" Peridot said. "Yea, a blue gem took all the ocean to try to get into space and succeed, sending the water back to earth soon after. Why do you ask?" Jack said. "Well, that gem is none other than a Lapis Lazuli." Peridot said. "Do tell." Jack said. Jack looks at the camera with an evil smirk. He knows that Peridot is set to arrive with this "Lapis" and some escort that suggest to be strong as all heck. Jack is in for a good position for revenge.
