The Dragon of Ice
Chapter 37: The Apprentice
At the Xiaolin Temple...
To defeat their newest and most powerful enemy, Chase Young, Master Fung was going to teach the five monks the art of deception.
"Today's exercise will train you to fight against our newest and most ingenious enemy."Master Fung stated while standing on a rock. "I am preparing you to fight, Chase Young."
This caused Clay, Raimundo, Omi, Alice and Kimiko to gasp.
"Today's exercise requires you to race to the top of these rocks and use deception in order to win."Master Fung instructed.
"Ah, get it."Clay replied. "You want us to think like an outlaw so we can beat an outlaw."
"That's a clever strategy."Alice chuckled.
"Omi!"Raimundo called out. "Look to your right!"
Omi looked to the right as Raimundo went up in the air.
"Where?"Omi asked. "I don't see anything."
Raimundo landed on top of Omi before jumping onto the rock formation.
Omi started climbing on the rock formation as Alice started climbing next to him.
"You look more adorable today, Omi."Alice giggled.
"I am? Thank you, Allie."Omi said happily.
A mischievous smirk grew on Alice's face before she kicked Omi away and the little boy landed hard on the ground.
Omi became angry as he began to quickly climb on the rock formation and Clay climbed behind him.
"How about a hand, partner?"Clay asked.
Omi took Clay's hand which caused the Dragon of Earth to grab him and throw him onto Raimundo, which caused the two of them to go down.
Kimiko and Alice continued climbing onto the rocks formation.
"I see..."Omi started and rubbed his head. "You offered me a hand, only to deceive me! I have learned my lesson! I shall never be deceived again!"
Omi went back on the rock formation to climb on it again.
"Ow, my leg!"Kimiko cried out.
Omi stopped climbing to the top of the rocks and went up to Kimiko.
"Allow me to help you!"Omi insisted.
Omi took Kimiko's hand before the black haired girl threw him down the rock formation, hitting Raimundo and Clay, forcing all of the boys to hit the ground bellow.
Kimiko reached to the top of the rock formation.
"Oh yeah!"Kimiko cheered. "Whoo!"
"Nice one, Kimiko."Alice said with a smile.
Kimiko and Alice high fived each other.
Omi's eyes widen seeing that Kimiko had won the competition.
"I am impressed with your will power, Kimiko."Omi admitted. "It must be painful to dance on an injured leg."
"Her leg isn't injured Omi, she was just pulling yours."Clay responded.
"Face it Omi, you are just way too trusting."Raimundo complemented.
Omi looked down and sighed in defeat.
"I trust you are most likely right."Omi said sadly.
Later that Night...
Alice quietly left her room to go to the vault and use the Phantom Key to go to Wonderland.
The Dragon of Ice knew she shouldn't be using the Phantom Key without Master Fung's permission, but she knew she would get in trouble.
Even if she told Master Fung or the other monks about Wonderland, they wouldn't believe her.
In Wonderland...
Alice carefully slide down a icy tunnel to arrive in the Icy Reception.
Cheshire Cat appeared in front of Alice.
"Withering cold incapacitates an enemy more completely than deep wounds."Cheshire Cat sneered. "But winter does not last forever."
The Cheshire Cat disappeared as Alice continued her journey.
As Alice explored in the area, a gigantic marble rolled into view and hurtled across the cavern toward the tunnel where she stood.
The pink haired girl started skating down while the gigantic marble was hot on her tail.
Alice carefully made sure not to off the slippery ice and dodged the rocks that were going to fall on her.
The Dragon of Ice eventually escaped from being crushed by the marble and rocks causing her to sigh in relief.
Alice arrived inside a cavern that had twin steam vents in it, but now her next destination was the very high ledge on the other side of the cavern.
The girl jumped onto the first vent and as soon as possible, move to the second vent.
Alice checked the above and kept her centered on the vent until she reached a sufficient height to leap to the high ledge and walked up the pathway to meet Caterpillar.
Alice ride the air vent to head out of the caverns and arrived where Caterpillar sat on a rock, wearing a fez and smoking a hookah.
"Ah Alice...you've returned."Caterpillar said firmly.
"But Rabbit never told me why and now he's gone."Alice admitted sadly.
"Why? Wonderland is severely damaged."Caterpillar stated. "You must set things right. That's why."
"I barely recognize this terrible place."Alice admitted with a uncomfortable look. "What is it to me?"
"It's home..."Caterpillar answered. "Well, it could be. Having lost what you loved, you nearly wiped us out. You've started to rebuild. Your task, however and your pain are not over."
"Why must I suffer?"Alice questioned with a sad frown.
"Because your mind is fouled by self-deception."Caterpillar stated and smoked on his hookah. "Even your fantasies have fragmented into tortured versions of themselves. You are wracked with guilt because you survived and you dread the prospect of a life alone."
Alice closed her eyes and looked down before looking at Caterpillar.
"What do you think I must do?"Alice asked softly.
"Destroy the Queen of Hearts. Wonderland and your entire world can become whole again. I need to rest now."Caterpillar replied. "You need to regain your human size. Grow up, Alice. Embrace the truth."
Caterpillar placed down his hookah.
"Travel to the Fungiferous Forest, now and nibble from the Mushroom of Life."Caterpillar instructed. "Take great care. The voracious Centipede jealously guards it and rules over what you require."
Caterpillar exhaled and puffed out a mass of smoke that turned into a green portal.
Alice jumped into the green portal and disappeared from Caterpillar's sight.
The pink haired girl found herself in the Wonderland Woods in the middle of the night which was filled with tall strands of grass, enormous mushrooms and generously-sized plant life.
The woods had a beautiful turquoise cave littered to the brim with some small burning fires and pathways.
Alice walked forward as a bunch of red ants wearing blue uniforms and wielding bayoneted muskets.
"Army ants."Alice muttered bitterly.
Cheshire Cat appeared next to Alice.
"If your stature were an illness, it seems the Centipede dispenses medicine to make you well."Cheshire Cat purred.
"Really?"Alice asked in a sarcastic tone. "I've never knew that."
Alice took out her Komori Sword to freeze the Army Ants before slashing them into pieces.
The Dragon of Ice quickly headed away from the side of the woods she was and ducked underneath a rock.
"You pathetic and wretched excuse for warriors! Form a line!"A voice shouted. "Bring the intruder to my den. I will punish her insolence and dispose of her!"
Alice let out a small gulp and almost freaked out as Cheshire Cat came next to her.
"I'm afraid I have to expel a rather ferocious hairball."Cheshire Cat sneered. "You're on your own, girl."
"What?"Alice questioned bitterly.
Cheshire Cat disappeared just before five Army Ants pointed their bayoneted muskets at Alice.
"Crab cakes."Alice murmured in a quiet tone.
The next thing, Alice knew she soared into the Centipede's Sanctum after being pushed through a nutcracker's mouth doorway by the Army Ants and upon arriving made no conversation with the Voracious Centipede as he was already on target to kill her.
The Voracious Centipede spewed crawlers onto Alice and attempted to crush her within seconds of her reaching the arena.
The pink haired looked at the spewed crawlers in disgust.
"Ew..."Alice muttered coldly.
Alice dodged the Centipede's legs and kicked him hard on the chest which made him roar angrily at her.
"Goditi un po 'di ghiaccio, orribile insetto!"Alice scowled and took out the Komori Sword. "Komori Sword, ICE!"
Alice blasted the Voracious Centipede with ice causing it to let out a loud roar and die from the cold attack.
When the Voracious Centipede died, a bunch of stalactites fall, forming a path to the Mushroom of Life..
Alice jumped on the stalactites and reached the big mushroom.
"I've never trusted toadstools; but I suppose some must have their good points."Cheshire Cat sneered.
"I wish I were hallucinating."Alice replied simply. "What a horrible choice. Eat a toadstool or remain food for insects. "
Alice pulled off a piece from the Mushroom of Life and eats it as she started to grow to normal size.
"It's rude to eat and run, but sometimes it's unavoidable."Cheshire Cat commented. "I'd go back if I were you. Get some sleep. You have a long day ahead of you."
Cheshire Cat disappeared as Alice took out the Phantom Key.
"Phantom Key!"Alice chanted.
The Phantom Key opened up a portal and Alice jumped into it to return back to the normal world.
The Next Morning...
Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay rode on Dojo as he brought them to the location of the Shen Gong Wu that revealed itself.
Alice wore a pair of black jeans that seemed to be made of velvet night and a grey sweater which had the colour of thick smoke with faint and tiny stars in the fabric which twinkled. On her feet, she wore a pair of blue boots. Her pink hair was styled in it's usual pigtails style.
Omi opened the Ancient Scroll to check the new Wu with his friends.
"The Shen Gong Wu we are looking for is called the Woozy Shooter."Dojo explained. "It releases a purple haze that confuses people and makes them goofy like game show contestants."
The five monks spotted Jack big fighting with his new Robo-Jack on the ground.
"Looks like Jack Spicer has already taken a big whip."Omi stated.
The two Jacks continued fighting as they were falling off the cliff.
"You don't know Jack, Jack!"Robo-Jack argued.
"No!"Jack snapped. "You don't know Jack, Jack!"
"Don't touch me, Jack!"Robo-Jack demanded.
"I am looking for the off switch, Jack!"Jack warned.
Dojo and the five monks flew past the fighting Jacks and headed down a waterfall.
"Is it really possible?"Raimundo questioned. "Could've Jack built a robot that's even more lame than him?"
"It looks like he already did."Alice responded smugly.
"Shen Gong Wu!"Dojo announced.
The group spotted the Woozy Shooter at the top of a rock cliff and got off of Dojo's back.
Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay try to get it, they encounter their U-bot counterparts.
"Howdy, partner."Clay-Bot greeted.
"Hey, it's my little me."Clay remarked. "Howdy, partner."
Clay took out his hand to touch his U-Bot, only to get slammed on the ground.
"Your hair clips are so rare."Kimiko-Bot admitted.
"Thanks."Kimiko thanked.
Kimiko got thrown onto Clay by her U-Bot.
"Your wearing strawberry print shorts again, aren't you?"Alice-Bot giggled.
"I am actually wearing velvet-"Alice started.
Alice-Bot grabbed Alice to throw her onto Kimiko and Clay.
"I can't believe you guys fall for that!"Raimundo retorted with a frown.
"Ooh, Natsumi is right behind you wearing a cute bathing suit."Raimundo-Bot admitted.
"She is?"Raimundo asked with a lovey dovey look.
When Raimundo turned around, he got thrown onto Alice, Kimiko and Clay.
"Idiot."Alice muttered under her breath.
"Step aside, little me!"Omi demanded. "Or prepare to be defeated!"
"Omi, you are the wisest dragon ever."Omi-Bot responded. "But also honest and trust worthy."
Tears of joy appeared on Omi's face before the young boy was thrown hard on the ground as Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay and Alice stood up.
"You are such a phoney head!"Omi-Bot insulted.
"The mini-bots have been programmed, but by who?"Kimiko asked.
"By meow."A voice purred.
The five monks sees Katnappe on a rocky hill with Chase and Wuya next to her before she landed behind the Woozy Shooter.
"I've stolen them out of your papa's garage."Katnappe admitted and took the Woozy Shooter. "Catch you later."
Katnappe and the U-Bots went next to Chase as Jack and Robo-Jack showed up.
"Chase!"Jack called out. "Give us another chance! Two out of three Wu?"
"Your a pathetic excuse for an evil boy genius."Chase replied.
"And he can'y even dress himself!"Wuya added. "Look he has different coloured socks!"
"Look I have with my reds and browns!"Jack argued.
"Katnappe had won the apprentice position."Chase stated. "You have won my pity."
In a flash of orange light, Chase, Wuya, Katnappe and the U-Bots disappeared from everyone's sight.
"So in a way, we're all winners?"Jack asked.
Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay glared angrily at Jack.
Back the Xiaolin Temple...
The five monks were despairing over the U-Bots' betrayal.
"I can't little Clay turned on me like that."Clay said sadly.
"You raised them the best you can and they go off and break your heart."Dojo commented. "I say too much TV and rap music."
"I know how you feel."A familiar voice said.
The monks and Dojo became alarmed when they Jack sitting inside the temple and holding a green bag.
"My Robo-Jack has just changed the lacks of my evil lair."Jack admitted in shame. "My mum is baking him cookies as we speak."
"Jack Spicer!"Omi scowled.
"I know 'prepare to be defeated'."Jack said as he passed the five monks and collapsed on the floor. "Go on. Put me out of my misery."
"You confuse me with your battle of self pity."Omi stated.
"My only goal in life was to become the evilest jerk in the world and I failed at that."Jack responded.
"Just to be clear, Jack."Alice spoke up. "We've always hated your guts. Especially me."
"If it is of any comfort, I still think of you as a jerk."Omi assured.
"Yeah, me too."Raimundo agreed.
"The stinkiest."Kimiko added.
"As rotten as killing in July."Clay complemented.
"Thanks, guys!"Jack cried and hugged the monks tightly. "It's good to have enemies you can count on in times like these!"
"Please, let go!"Omi begged. "The second rule!"
Jack released the five monks.
"Jack Spicer, have you ever thought to consider that maybe you were meant to fight in the name of good?"Omi asked.
"You think so?"Jack said.
This caused Dojo, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay to appear behind Jack and shake their heads at Omi.
"Perhaps I could teach you."Omi suggested.
"Why not? I am pretty desperate."Jack admitted.
Omi happily gave Jack a hug.
"Oh, you fill my heart with joy!"Omi remarked.
"The second rule."Jack reminded and placed Omi off him.
Omi went up to Master Fung, who walked forward.
"Master Fung!"Omi said. "Good news! Jack has agreed to join the forces of good!"
Master Fung gasped as Jack gave an innocent smile.
"Omi, I am not sure if-"Master Fung started.
"Please, Master Fung!"Omi begged. "I will teach him! And as you often said, 'A foe turned into a friend is the most powerful allies."
Master Fung sighed. "Very well."
"Huh?!"Dojo, Raimundo, Kimiko, Alice and Clay said in confusion.
"Thank you, Master Fung!"Omi thanked and hugged Master Fung. "I promise I won't let you up!"
"Down."Master Fung corrected.
"In every direction!"Omi added proudly.
The Next Morning...
Omi had Jack to do the first task of the day which was to do everyone's chores.
In other words, this also gave Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay and Alice to have more time to do the things they wanted to do.
"So Jack Spicer how was your first day of training?"Omi asked.
Jack responded by collapsing on the floor and falling asleep.
Omi placed a blanket on Jack while he fell asleep.
"I have to admit but having Spicer around ain't so bad."Clay remarked.
"Especially since he does all of our chores."Kimiko giggled.
"And this gives us more time to do anything we want."Alice chuckled.
"And my underwear has never smelt so fresh."Raimundo admitted and sniffed the underwear.
"Hey!"Clay growled and took the underwear. "Those are mine!"
"And my litter box is clean enough to eat out from!"Dojo added.
Dojo started eating his lunch in his litter box as Clay let out a yawn.
"Good night, little buddy."Clay admitted and looked out the window. "Good night, other little buddy!"
The five monks notice the U-Bots stealing the Monsoon Sandals, the Lotus Twister, the Ring of the Nine Dragons, the Shroud of Shadows and the Culver Crystal before running away.
"Stop you, thieves!"Alice snapped.
The young warriors quickly went in front of their mini-bots to block their path from escaping.
"They may be cute and cuddly, but they are most dangerous."Omi complemented.
"Woozy Shooter!"Katnappe chanted.
Katnappe used the Woozy Shooter, putting all the Warriors in a hallucinating state.
"How does this go?"Clay chuckled. "Typhoon Boom!"
"Water!"Kimiko asked. "I am water!"
"I can touch my nose with my tongue!"Raimundo admitted.
"I feel so pretty!"Alice giggled weirdly. "Like a fuzzy little bunny!"
"Oh no! You are all goofy!"Omi laughed. "And I am goofy as well!"
The U-Bots started beating the five monks as Jack woke up from his sleep.
"Hey, guys."Jack yawned. "What is going on?"
"Five down and one whiny geek to go."Katnappe sneered and took out the Woozy Shooter.
"I am not whiny!"Jack shouted.
"Woozy Shooter!"Katnappe chanted.
Katnappe sent the purple smoke towards Jack.
"Reversing Mirror!"Jack chanted.
Jack uses the Reversing Mirror to reflect it back onto Katnappe to make her goofy and land hard on the floor.
Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay snapped out of their state and attacked their U-Bots.
"Jack Spicer you have done well."Omi admitted. "Not let's kick some mini butt together! Tornado Strike, WATER!"
Omi washed away his U-Bot with water.
"Judolette Flip, FIRE!"Kimiko shouted. "Kimiko-Bot! Time for a make up! Kung Fu style!"
Kimiko surrounded her U-Bot with fire before kicking her away.
"Seismic Kick, EARTH!"Clay yelled out. "How about a dose of your own medicine, little Clay?"
Clay slammed the ground up and grabbed his U-Bot before punching it several times.
"Freeze Powder, ICE!"Alice shouted. "You need to chill out, little Alice!"
Alice freezes her U-Bot in ice before kicking it to pieces.
"Typhoon Boom, WIND!"Raimundo yelled out. "Time to show little me, the real me!"
Raimundo created a strong wind to bring his U-Bot to him and kicking him until it was broken.
The head of Raimundo-Bot landed on Master Fung's hand and the five monks rushed up to him.
"Master Fung! Once again, good has triumphed over evil!"Omi said happily. "And we all the good acts to our honourable, Jack Spicer!"
However the young monks notice Jack was gone and so was the Shen Gong Wu that the U-Bots were going to steal.
"I see and where exactly is Spicer and the Shen Gong Wu?"Master Fung questioned.
A dark spotlight shun on Omi as he looked down in sadness.
"I trusted him."Omi said sadly.
The five monks regrettably care for Katnappe after last night.
Clay held a catkins retractable wand for Katnappe to play with, Alice was feeding the fishes in small aquariam while Kimiko and Raimundo cleaned Katnappe's litter box.
"First Spicer and then cat litter."Kimiko muttered bitterly. "Why do we have to put up with her?"
"Because she is injured."Omi replied and gestured to Katnappe's broken leg. "And it's the way of the Xiaolin monks to help those in need."
"That's right."Katnappe agreed and pinched Omi's cheek. "Listen to the cute one."
This caused Omi to drop the fish plate as a lovey dovey look appeared on his face.
Clay, Alice, Kimiko and Raimundo glared at Omi.
"What?"Omi asked and looked at Katnappe. "Is it my fault, I'm so cute?"
Katnappe smiled innocently at Omi as Clay took the young boy away.
"Just be careful about cat litter, Omi."Alice retorted. "You shouldn't be trusting her."
"Don't worry, Allie."Omi assured with a grin. "I will."
Katnappe gives Alice an evil smile causing the pink haired girl to glare at him.
In Alice's Room...
Alice ate takoyaki as she placed Five Nights at Freddy's on her bright blue laptop in her room.
"It always nice to have octopus balls when your in the middle of playing something extremely horrific."Alice commented in amusement.
Alice placed an octopus ball in her mouth as she played on her laptop.
Suddenly an incoming video call appeared on her laptop causing her to answer.
Then Daniel's face appeared on the screen.
"Hey, Alice."Daniel greeted with a wave.
"Oh, hi Danny."Alice replied. "What's up? Haven't heard you from a while."
"Alice."Daniel spoke up. "Whatever Chase does or say, don't fall of his manipulate trick nor his appearance. I know what you thinking but he's a lost cause. The reason I know Chase because I used to be his apprentice."
This caused Alice to almost choke on the octopus ball she placed on her mouth, but then swallowed it down.
"What?!"Alice said in shock. "You-"
"Just promise me what he does or say, don't let him get or fall to you."Daniel warned. "Be of second thought and wise by keeping a sharp eye on him."
"Alright, I will."Alice assured. "You don't have to worry about me. We are friends after all."
Daniel fell silent what Alice just said.
"Right...friends."Daniel replied quietly. "Bye."
Daniel ends the call causing Alice to smile and looked down quietly.
Meanwhile...
Omi and Katnappe headed to Jack's house to get back the stolen Shen Gong Wu he stole.
The Dragon of Water broke down a door and spotted Jack using a computer inside the room.
"Time for my revenge, Jack Spicer!"Omi shouted.
Omi kicked Jack and his head popped off which revealed the figure was actually a robot.
"I did not want that much revenge!"Omi shouted in shock.
"It's just another of his stupid robots."Katnappe retorted and smirked. "Now for the Wu."
Katnappe headed to a painting of a locker and removed it, which revealed to be a real locker behind it.
"It's must a difficult thing to split."Omi commented.
"Crack."Katnappe corrected as she worked on the locker. "But it is Jack's safe. One, two, then...three."
Then the locker opened, revealing the bag of stolen Shen Gong Wu inside it.
"Well, look whose here!"Jack laughed evilly. "The leader of the Kung Fools and his pet!"
Jack pushed away the folding screen, revealing four Robo-Jacks next to him.
Omi stood in a fighting position as Katnappe hissed at the Robo-Jacks.
"Robo-Jacks, attack!"Jack ordered.
The four Robo-Jacks rushed toward Omi and Katnappe as their metal hands reached out to grab them.
Omi and Katnappe jumped and dodged the robotic hands.
The Dragon of Water landed on one of the arms of a Robo-Jack, punching him in the face and destroying it completely.
The second Robo-Jack fired missiles from it's head and Omi punched it by the back as Katnappe kicked the other two robots away.
Omi made the third Robo-Jack he was fighting against bash off the head of the last Robo-Jack and it landed next to the window, which Jack was trying to escape in.
"Hey, behind Jack!"Robo-Jack warned.
Jack dodged as Omi tried to hit him, but ended going out of the window.
"Thanks, Robo-Jack."Jack thanked as he closed the window.
Katnappe grabbed the bag of Shen Gong Wu causing Jack to throw a Robo-Jack head towards her.
This caused the cat girl to drop the bag and the Shen Gong Wu came out.
Omi and Jack both touch the Monsoon Sandals at the same time, starting a Xiaolin Showdown.
"Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"Omi challenged. "The game is Truth or Lies! Last to fall wins!"
"My Lotus Twister against your Silk Spitter!"Jack responded.
"Let's go, Xiaolin Showdown!"Omi stated.
When the showdown begins, Jack's house disappeared and many balloons with different symbols rise out of the ground.
Omi and Jack each get on a balloon and the showdown started.
"Gong Yi Tan Pai!"Jack and Omi yelled out.
"Jack Spicer, telling the truth is definitely not your element."Omi said.
"Yeah, but sneaky is."Jack replied.
Jack popped Omi's balloon and Omi popped Jack's balloon.
"Jack Spicer, truth or lie, do you seek world domination because you feel small and worthless?"Omi asked.
"Lie!"Jack snapped.
"No!"Omi answered. "True!"
The balloon popped, sending Jack falling and going to another balloon.
"My turn."Jack said. "Truth or lie. Do you work so hard as a Xiaolin monk because you know you're an oddball geek with a big head?"
"Ha!"Omi laughed. "That is most ridiculous! Lie!"
"But you do have a big ego!"Jack reminded.
"No, my ego is the right size."Omi lied.
Omi lied about his ego and his balloon popped which send him falling.
"You lied!"Jack laughed.
"Silk Spitter!"Omi chanted.
Omi used the Silk Spitter to go to another balloon.
"Truth or lie, did you steal the Shen Gong Wu because you feared that you would fail at good?"Omi asked. "Just as you have failed at evil?"
"Jack Spicer, fail? Lie!"Jack lied.
"No, truth!"Omi said. "Truth and more truth!"
This caused Jack's balloon to pop until it disappeared.
"Lotus Twister!"Jack chanted.
Jack used the Lotus Twister to grab on another balloon.
"Did you really believe me when I agreed to turn good?"Jack questioned. "Or did you just take me in because you wanted prove your friends wrong?"
"I believed you and you disappointed me deeply."Omi admitted sadly.
The truth symbol appeared on Omi's balloon.
"Really?"Jack asked and frowned. "Well, you shouldn't have, I was planning to turn on you all along!"
The lie symbol appeared on Jack's balloon.
"You lie."Omi replied. "You did try."
Jack's balloon popped causing him to fall all the way to the bottom and winning the showdown for Omi.
Then the room turned back to normal.
"Katnappe, I have defeated Jack!"Omi called out.
The young boy noticed Katnappe's was nowhere to be seen.
"You have escaped with all the Shen Gong Wu."Omi said sadly.
Omi kicked a Robo-Jack headed away as he headed out, but didn't realise the Shroud of Shadows and the Ring of the Nine Dragons were still in the room.
Katnappe snuck out of Jack's yard with the Shen Gong Wu, joined by the U-Bots.
"Nice work, my little evil Freak Bots."Katnappe purred and placed the bag over her shoulder. "I say we take the Wu and have a puurfect evil weekend."
Suddenly the five U-Bots disarm and bind Katnappe.
"Hey!"Katnappe shouted. "What's going?!"
Omi stepped out from behind a tree with Raimundo, Kimiko, Alice and Clay.
"Looks like the cat litter jumped into the mouse trap."Alice sneered.
"I knew you would twice cross me."Omi remarked. "So I twice crossed you first!"
"That's double-crossed, but you get the idea."Raimundo commented and patted Omi's shoulder.
"That is why I asked Kimiko to reprogram the Bots for me."Omi admitted.
Omi took the bag and walked up to his companions with the U-Bots.
"I can't believe it."Katnappe scowled. "Deceived by a gnome."
"Hehe, I did it!"Omi said proudly. "I am an accomplished Xiaolin liar."
"You had some day, champ."Dojo remarked. "You lied your head off, broken into a lair, cracked open a safe and..."
Dojo blinked a few times and realised something.
"Had a girl beat up."Dojo finished and looked at Omi with a unsure look. "Hmm..."
"Yes."Omi agreed with a grin. "Fighting on the side of good is most rewarding."
Unknown to the group, Chase and Wuya has been watching them.
"Our young apprentice has made remarkable process."Chase stated with a smirk.
"So is he ready to join us?"Wuya asked.
"Not yet, but soon. He has tasted evil."Chase admitted and his eyes glowed dangerously. "In time, he will learn to crave it."
Chase stepped back into the shadows and vanished before Wuya did as well.
Back at the Xiaolin Temple...
Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay were playing poker.
The Dragon of Water showed his new sneaky tricks in the game.
"I have four aces."Omi stated.
"His lying."Kimiko suggested.
"This is some sort of trick."Alice commented.
"The dude is playing us."Raimundo insisted.
"We've got him this time."Clay assured.
"Read them and begin your weeping."Omi replied and showed his cards.
"No way."Alice retorted in disbelief.
"That's read them and weep."Raimundo corrected. "And I am about to."
"Oh, how do you win every hand?"Clay asked.
"It is most simple."Omi answered as he shuffled the cards. "I cheat."
Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay glared at Omi.
"No, I am a liar when I say I cheat."Omi replied.
"How do we know you're not lying to us now?"Kimiko questioned suspiciously.
"Because you are all my friends. I could never lie to my friends."Omi stated and patted Kimiko's cheek before he started laughing. "I have mastered deception! Let's play again!"
Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay threw their cards at Omi and the young boy placed a card on his sleeve before covering the screen.
