Chapter 39: Something Jermaine
At the Xiaolin Temple...
Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice, Clay and Dojo watched as Master Fung spun around a basketball.
"Hey! A pickup game!"Dojo remarked excitedly as he slithered onto Master Fung's hand. "I'm in!"
"No, Dojo."Master Fung responded. "This is no game. The young monks are about to learn a exercise that teaches humility."
"Oh, I am the very best at humility!"Omi bragged as his head grew bigger. "There is no one that can wear my socks!"
"Shoes."Raimundo corrected.
"Shoes."Omi replied.
Omi's head grew back to it's normal size as Alice rolled her eyes at him.
"The idea is to pass the ball around in perfect rhythm while working not to show up any fellow warrior."Master Fung instructed as he moved the basketball around his arms.
"Even Raimundo? That would be most difficult."Omi admitted and got smacked on the head by Alice. "Ow!"
"Zip it, Omi."Alice scoffed.
"I'll try to no slow you down."Raimundo said with a frown.
Master Fung hands Omi the basketball.
"Try as you will, you cannot help yourself!"Omi bragged.
Raimundo, Alice, Clay and Kimiko looked at Omi with unimpressed expressions.
"Take it away if you can!"Omi commented as he moved the ball around. "Too sneaky! Too bad!"
"That's gotta be my homey, Omi."A familiar voice said.
Omi, Raimundo, Alice, Clay and Kimiko grew excited seeing Jermaine in the entrance.
"Jermaine!"Omi remarked happily.
"What's up?"Jermaine questioned.
"How come you didn't give us a holler you were coming?"Clay asked.
"I wanted to surprise you and I have some big time news."Jermaine answered.
Jermaine took Xiaolin robes from his bag.
"You brought me a present!"Omi remarked. "Oh you shouldn't have."
"Uh...that's good, because I didn't."Jermaine stated. "Peacock fanning feathers!"
Jermaine suddenly changed into the Xiaolin robes, which fit him perfectly.
"Well I'll be a goat's nanny!"Clay said.
"Is that true? Are you saying..."Kimiko started.
"You got it right K, this home boy is now a monk warrior."Jermaine answered.
"This is most exciting!"Omi complemented with a grin. "Now I will teach you everything I know! Well, maybe not everything. But as much as you can handle."
"Thanks Omi, but-"Jermaine started.
"Maybe one day, with my guidance, you to shall rise to become an accomplished Apprentice like us!"Omi insisted.
"Omi dog, slow down."Jermaine instructed. "I've already moved passed Apprentice, I'm a Wudai Warrior."
"That's fantastic!"Kimiko commented.
"Great job, Jermaine!"Alice chuckled.
"Way da go, dude!"Raimundo remarked.
"You sure taken the Xiaolin like a hog in the mud!"Clay admitted.
Omi frowned in silence as he turned green.
"So that means you have moved up to a higher level than me."Omi said with a frown.
"Yeah, I guess so."Jermaine answered.
"I am so happy for you."Omi stated and forced a big grin on his face.
"My Master told me I'm the fastest learner he's ever taught and he thinks I'll make Dragon in record time."Jermaine explained.
Kimiko notice Omi roughly grinding his teeth causing her to walk up to Jermaine.
"Maybe I should show you around."Kimiko suggested.
"Sure thing, I always wanted to check out Omi's crib."Jermaine commented.
Kimiko and Jermaine walked away together as Omi glanced at Clay, Alice and Raimundo.
"You hear that?!"Omi complained. "He thinks I sleep in a crib!"
Afterwards Jermaine was doing shadow-fighting with Clay, Alice, Kimiko and Raimundo as a boom box was playing a beat as Omi watched them from behind.
However the training was ruined when Omi started kicking Jermaine's shadow.
"Omi, watcha doing?"Jermaine asked.
"You appear to be having trouble with your shadow, so I am assisting you!"Omi remarked.
"Is anything wrong, man?"Jermaine questioned. "You've been bugging ever since I got here-"
"I am not bugging!"Omi yelled and smiled nervously. "I am just so happy for you!"
Then Dojo went up to the five monks and Jermaine while holding the Ancient Scroll.
"News flash, kids!"Dojo announced as he slithered forward and opened the Ancient Scroll. "A bonafide Wu sighting! It's the Manchurian Musca, whoever possesses it has the power to turn into a teeny tiny fly. But I gotta warn ya, it comes with a craving for sugar."
"Why would anyone want to turn into a fly?"Kimiko asked.
"To snoop."Raimundo responded. "You know a fly on the wall."
"Ugh, I hate flys."Alice groaned in disgust.
"If we hurry, we can beat rush hour traffic."Dojo admitted.
Dojo became huge as Omi spoke up.
"Perhaps Jermaine would like to join us and watch me defeat evil."Omi insisted.
"Cool."Jermaine commented and looked at the others. "Sure is okay?"
"Oh yes."Omi agreed. "It will give you a chance to learn by watching the very best dragon in training."
"I do that every morning, when I exercise in front of the mirror."Jermaine admitted.
Jermaine did a flip and hopped aboard Dojo before the others went on the green dragon to find the Shen Gong Wu.
Dojo brought Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice, Clay and Jermaine to a dense jungle, which was where the Manchurian Musca was located in.
Kimiko wore a dark purple pullover sweater, a hunter green coloured skirt and black socks with cyan blue boots. Her black hair was tied in two ponytails.
Alice wore a long-sleeved white shirt. Diagonally across the shirt, there was a grey stripe with yellow on either side and 'Baseball Game' was written on it. At the bottom she wore blue high-waisted shorts with white buttons and fringe at the bottom. Her black sneakers had red and white highlights. Around her neck was a black choker with a yellow smiley face on it and her pink hair was cut short.
Once arriving in the jungle, the monks encountered Jack and Tubbimura near the tree that had the Manchurian Musca on top of it.
There was a cute little whimpering dog next to Jack and Tubbimura.
"Jack Spicer, if you think you intimidate Xiaolin warriors with that thing, you are sadly mistaken!"Omi announced.
"I am completely surprised you got a way with dogs, evil wanna be."Alice sneered.
"Muffinface? He belongs to Tubbi."Jack admitted. "I have to walk him twice a day."
"Do you want twice a month?"Tubbimura questioned and took out a list. "I have a list of things that I want."
"This is not the time or place to negotiate our deal."Jack reminded with a smile. "Now get to work!"
"Mantis Flip Coin!"Tubbimura chanted.
Alice quickly got out of the way as Tubbimura used the Mantis Flip Coin to squash Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay.
Omi looked at Jermaine.
"I will now demonstrate how a Xiaolin warrior gets to the Shen Gong Wu first."Omi stated.
"I got your back, kid."Jermaine assured.
Omi and Jermaine started running towards Jack.
"Tangled Web Comb!"Jack chanted.
Jack used the Tangle Web Comb on Omi giving Jermaine the opportunity to get the Manchurian Musca.
"Get off my friends, fat ninja!"Alice insulted and took out the Ruby of Ramses. "Ruby of Ramses!"
Alice used the Ruby of Ramses to throw Tubbimura off her friends and threw him onto Jack, who was flying up to the tree to get the Manchurian Musca.
Omi broke free of the Tangle Web Comb and notice Jermaine was climbing towards the Shen Gong Wu.
"Orb of Tornami!"Omi chanted.
Omi used the Orb of Tornamito boost himself upwards, crashing into Jermaine and knocking down the Manchurian Musca, making it fall into the possession of Jack.
Tubbimura stroked Muffinface's as Jack landed next to him.
"Yes!"Jack laughed evilly. "Score one for the bad guys!"
Jack and Tubbimura walked away as Jermaine glared at Omi.
"Yo, Omi!"Jermaine scowled. "You must be tripping!"
"I am not taking a trip!"Omi argued.
"Your course caused us to lose a Shen Gong Wu!"Jermaine retorted.
"Are you saying that it is my fault?!"Omi questioned.
"I am saying some poser need a refresher course on how to be a Xiaolin Warrior!"Jermaine replied and folded his arms.
"A refresher course?!"Omi snapped. "I'm the one whose supposed to be teaching the the refresher course!"
"Man, you got a ego that is bigger than that dome of yours."Jermaine insulted.
"NOTHING IS BIGGER THAN MY DOME!"Omi yelled angrily. "AND I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE MY TOMB OUT OF IT!"
Jermaine looked at Raimundo, Kimiko, Dojo, Alice and Clay.
"Do you believe this guy?"Jermaine asked.
"There are three things that I have learned not to talk about."Dojo answered. "Religion, politics and Omi's head."
Jermaine and Omi glared at each other in anger.
Back at the Xiaolin Temple...
Alice prepared bowls of rice and chicken for her friends to enjoy when it was time for lunch.
However instead of them having a nice friendly meal, Jermaine and Omi started angrily eating the food in various savage ways.
Raimundo, Kimiko, Dojo, Alice and Clay watched the sight with startled looks.
"Boys and girls, let me tell you a story, about these two dragon buddies!"Dojo declared. "Always seen together, like peas and carrots."
"Is this story gonna be long or short?"Raimundo questioned.
"It'll take as long as it takes!"Dojo replied with a glare and slithered up onto the table.
"Long story."Kimiko and Alice said in unison.
"Yippee."Alice mumbled sarcastically.
"Then one day, they had this spat. Angry wicked words were exchanged. Words that could never be taken back."Dojo explained. "And when it was over, these two friends would never speak again. It's funny. But I don't even remember what the fight was about.
Then a realisation came to Dojo causing his eyes to widen.
"Oh wait!"Dojo admitted. "Now I remember!"
Dojo got into Jermaine's face as he continued his story.
"Chuck wanted to borrow my yo-yo. My favourite yo-yo!"Dojo admitted. "The treasured family yo-to! I politely told Chuck 'no'. But did he leave it at that?
Dojo got into Omi's face.
"No! He snuck into my room and he took it anyway!"Dojo shouted and then stood on the table while acting out his emotions. "And then he lost it! Lost it! Oh, he played dumb, never said a word! Until one night I caught him talking in his sleep, the only time that scoundrel could tell the truth! I'm happy he's gone! Good riddance to you, you thief!"
Dojo ended up spiting on Clay's plate.
"Dojo, why you spit in my food?"Clay asked.
Dojo realised what he just said.
"Oh, sorry."Dojo apologised. "Anyway what was the point of my story?"
"Yeah, that some friendships aren't worth saving!"Jermaine declared as he sat up on his side of the table with a glare.
Jermaine and Omi continued glaring at each other.
"Oh yes, yes!"Dojo remarked and became confused. "No, no. That can't be right."
Alice face palmed as Master Fung walked into the kitchen while carrying two bamboo staffs.
"Young monks, perhaps a little sparring might be in order."Master Fung suggested.
"They're ready to rip each other to shreds and you want to arm them?!"Kimiko protested in shock.
"Often when two warriors engage in battle, the battle brings them closer together."Master Fung explained.
Omi and Jermaine did their sparring match outside the temple as Dojo, Clay, Alice, Master Fung, Raimundo and Kimiko watched.
"I am not sure the fighting is bringing them together."Raimundo commented.
Omi landed on the water as Raimundo flipped over his head.
"Repulse the monkey!"Jermaine shouted.
Omi froze at hearing the name of a familiar attack.
"Repulse the monkey?!"Omi said in shock.
Jermaine kicked Omi into the water from behind causing him to win the match.
Master Fung brought Omi out of the water.
"Now as humble warriors, I suggest you shake hands and leave your troubles behind."Master Fung insisted.
Jermaine and Omi glared at each other and then looked away when they shook hands.
Back in the Xiaolin Temple...
Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Clay sat down watching Omi meditating while sitting upside down after Jermaine left them.
"Cheer up, sad dude."Raimundo insisted. "I'm sure Jermaine will get over it."
"Yes, but I am not sure if I will."Omi commented.
Suddenly a fly got zapped by one of the lights which revealed to be Jack and he collapsed on the ground behind the monks.
"Jack Spicer! You no good rustler!"Clay scowled. "What are you doing here?!"
"Nothing."Jack lied and buzzed a little. "I was just in the neighbourhood."
"Your here to steal our Wu!"Omi retorted. "Prepare for an unmerciful defeat!"
"No, I am here to steal your lava lamp."Jack buzzed.
Raimundo placed his hands to cover his mouth held back his laughter.
"Sounds like one evil boy genius has hit some hard times."Kimiko commented.
"You said it, Kim."Alice agreed with her arms folded.
"Look, there's still a lot of stuff I gotta get Tubbimura. Maybe we can agree to a..."Jack started and his face brightened up. "Trade?"
"What is it that you want?"Omi asked.
"Clay's cowboy hat?"Jack suggested.
"Hey!"Clay snapped. "No one touches my hat!"
Alice looked at Raimundo with a mischievous look.
"Should I give him your album of cute girls instead?"Alice whispered.
"No way, rabbit head!"Raimundo replied with a frown.
"Hey, take it with Tubbimura and besides..."Jack started.
"Besides?"Raimundo questioned.
"Well, I'm sitting on some pretty juicy info."Jack admitted. "It has to do with Jermaine and it's not good."
Suddenly Omi pinned Jack onto the floor.
"I order you to spill your internal organs right now!"Omi demanded angrily.
"WHAT KIND OF SICK PEOPLE ARE YOU?!"Jack panicked in fright.
"I think he means spill your guts."Raimundo corrected.
Clay groaned as he threw his hat onto Jack's head.
"Jermaine is part of Chase Young's crew, I saw him with my own hundred eyes."Jack stated.
The five monks became stunned of what Jack said to them.
"Huh?!"Clay, Kimiko, Raimundo, Alice and Omi said in shock.
"I was a fly at the time."Jack added simply.
"What a load of hay."Clay scoffed.
"Jermaine wouldn't do that."Raimundo said with a frown.
"He would if he did not know...Chase Young was evil."Omi stated.
Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, Alice and Clay held onto each other tightly as Dojo flew to the Golden Finger's location at full speed.
"Look!"Omi stated and pointed at the Golden Finger. "It is the Golden Finger!"
Suddenly Chase appeared in front of Dojo causing the green dragon to panic and ended up crash landing into the ground.
Once they were able to get out of the rubble, the five monks saw Chase Young waiting at a pillar, which Jermaine was climbing to get to the Shen Gong Wu.
Omi started climbing to the other part of the pillar.
"Step off, Omi!"Jermaine demanded. "This Shen Gong Wu's mine!"
"Jermaine! Chase Young has been using you!"Omi protested. "He is on the side of evil!"
"Say what?!"Jermaine asked.
"Omi's right!"Kimiko agreed.
"Chase is using you!"Raimundo called out.
"His an evil overlord, Jermaine!"Alice admitted.
"We wouldn't steer you, wrong partner!"Clay complemented.
"You say anything to help cueball."Jermaine scoffed.
Chase appeared behind Clay, Alice, Raimundo and Kimiko causing the four monks to move out of the way and stand in fighting positions.
"That's right Jermaine."Chase sneered. "Block out their words, you know what you must do."
Jermaine and Omi continued climbing towards the Golden Finger.
Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay and Alice jumped onto the pillar side that Jermaine was climbing on, only for Chase to appear in front of them.
"Going somewhere?"Chase questioned smugly.
"No! But you are!"Kimiko retorted and leapt into the air. "Judolette Flip, FIRE!"
"Typhoon Boom, WIND!"Raimundo shouted.
"Seismic Kick, EARTH!"Clay yelled out.
"Freeze Powder, ICE!"Alice shouted.
Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay and Alice all unleashed their attacks at Chase.
However the Heylin Overlord held up his hands and took control of the elements. He jumped and shot the attacks at the pillar, destroying it just as Jermaine reached the top of the column.
Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay were pinned down in the rubble while Alice was held by Chase in bridal style.
Chase smirked at Alice.
"Your not quite as light as I presumed."Chase commented smugly.
Alice glared at Chase as a blush crept up her face.
"Put me down, lizard boy."Alice scowled bitterly.
Omi, Jermaine, Tubbimura and Jack (with his tongue) all touched the Golden Finger at the same time, starting a Xiaolin Showdown Tsunami.
"I challenge you Jermaine, you Jack Spicer and you Tubbimura to a Showdown Tsunami!"Omi declared and took out the Ruby of Ramses. "The game is Battle of the Gladiators!
"I wager my Manchurian Musca against your Ruby of Ramses."Jack stated.
"I wager Shroud of Shadows!"Tubbimura said.
"Yo, I don't have anythan ta wager."Jermaine admitted.
"Jermaine wagers the Lasso Boa-Boa."Chase responded.
Chase throws the Lasso Boa-Boa to Jermaine.
"Let's go, Xiaolin Showdown!"Omi, Jermaine, Tubbimura and Jack shouted in unison.
When the showdown begins, all the competitors were in gladiator attire and in the center of an arena.
Alice sat next to Chase while Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay were still trapped in the rumble.
Dojo was dressed as the Master of Ceremonies and begins the showdown.
"Let the games begin!"Dojo announced.
"Gong Yi Tan Pai!"Omi, Jermaine, Tubbimura and Jack yelled out.
When the showdown starts, lions came out from the trapdoors and began to attack the four competitors.
Omi, Tubbimura and Jermaine easily fought away the lions while Jack stared at the wild cats in fright.
"Nice kitty."Jack whimpered quietly. "Pretty kitty."
The evil boy genius screamed in terror as the lions started chasing after him.
"Manchurian Musca!"Jack chanted.
Jack transformed into a fly to escape the lions but gets attacked by a crow.
After the lions, chariots come into the stadium and the competitors each grab onto one.
"Shroud of Shadows!"Tubbimura chanted.
Tubbimura uses the Shroud of Shadows to hide his chariot, but Omi could see the wheels a little bit.
"Ruby of Ramses!"Omi chanted.
Omi uses the Ruby of Ramses to remove the Shroud of Shadows off of Tubbimura.
Jermaine continued to bump his chariot into Omi's chariot.
"Lasso Boa Boa!"Jermaine chanted.
Jermaine used the Lasso Boa Boa to sling Tubbimura out of the ring.
Tubbimura landed onto Jack and squashed him on the ground.
Omi tried to convince Jermaine that Chase was evil, however Jermaine didn't believe him.
"Jermaine! You must stop!"Omi protested. "If you win, Chase Young will control you! There will be no going back!"
"Omi, stop messing with my head and just fight, man."Jermaine reminded.
Jermaine attacked and Omi was forced to jump to the side, almost falling into a trap.
Alice sighed in relief, seeing that Omi didn't fall into the trap.
"Chase wants us to fight, this was his plan all along!"Omi protested.
Jermaine nearly ended up falling into a trap which contained lava inside, but Omi caught him in time.
"What is more evil than turning two friends against each other?"Omi questioned.
Omi quickly dodged Jermaine's sword from hitting him.
"I think you did that."Jermaine retorted and Omi ran away from him. "Why couldn't you just be happy for me?!"
"I was..."Omi started. "I was just not happy for me. I may have been a little jealous."
"Oh, ya think?"Jermaine questioned and raised his sword. "So why should I trust you now?"
"Because you are my friend."Omi admitted.
Omi laid down his weapon to show that he won't hurt his friend.
Jermaine looked at Omi in silence.
"Go ahead."Chase encouraged. "Defeat the young monk and receive your reward."
Alice glared at Chase as Wuya grinned evilly.
"Oh, this is so exciting!"Wuya sneered.
Wuya got a slap to the face from Chase.
"You're not playing with me, are you?"Jermaine asked.
Omi smiled. "No, but I will if you want."
Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay and Alice all smiled at Omi's respond.
"Aw man, I really have been on the side of evil."Jermaine said in realisation.
Jermaine laid down his weapon and shook Omi's hand, ending the showdown in a draw.
Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay and Alice rushed up to Omi and Jermaine.
"NOOOO!"Wuya shouted in anger. "You just can't quit!"
"They can and they have, ghost hag."Kimiko commented.
Alice smirked and high fived with Kimiko.
"Reckon we got ourselves a Xiaolin Showdown draw."Clay stated.
"No winner? What a rip off!"Dojo complained as he slithered forward. "You wouldn't see this in the old days!"
Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay, Alice, Omi and Jermaine glared at Dojo.
Dojo presented the Golden Finger to the monks, which had been peaking out from beneath a rock.
"It's good to see that you guys finally made up."Alice remarked.
"Good thing that you won't have to freeze them."Raimundo joked.
Alice gives Raimundo a playful punch in the arm as Clay placed his hat back on his head.
Omi and Jermaine walked up to Chase.
"It appears that once again you have underestimated the forces of good!"Omi declared.
"What makes you think things didn't turn out exactly as I planned?"Chase asked with a smirk.
"Because you lost?"Omi guessed.
"No Omi, you won."Chase answered and zoomed in front of Omi. "You were the one I was testing, and you passed as I expected."
The Heylin Overlord disappeared from the five monks and Jermaine's sight.
"Man, that guy is wigging out."Jermaine said.
"You got that right, Jermaine."Alice agreed with a frown.
"I think, as you say, it is time to booger on out of here."Omi insisted.
Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay, Alice, Dojo and Jermaine looked at Omi with confused expressions.
"I sure hope you mean boogie."Jermaine commented.
A Few Hours Later...
It was time for Jermaine to leave the Xiaolin Temple.
"I wish you would stay."Omi commented. "Master Fung says you would make a great Xiaolin monk and so do I."
"Thanks, Omi dog."Jermaine thanked. "But I got some thinking to do first. It make take a while for me to think about that offer."
Dojo appeared behind Jermaine.
"Open seating for the Dojo L Train!"Dojo announced.
Jermaine and Omi fist bump each other.
"Perhaps when you return you can teach me a few moves?"Omi suggested with a smile.
"Teach you moves? You don't seem to be running a favour."Jermaine chuckled.
"Of course, I can repay you."Omi remarked. "I will repay you many times over by teaching you for more valuable moves."
"Ha ha ha!"Jermaine laughed as he went on Dojo's back. "Now that's the Omi dog, I've grown to know and love."
Then Jermaine flew away on Dojo's back as Omi waved him good-bye.
