Episode 1: Something Old, Something New

Let's start with some rules

1. The episode we are branching off from both sides are after episode 26 of Steven Universe (Ocean Gem) and after Episode 10 of Xiaolin Showdown (Big as Texas), meaning Omi DOES NOT have the Orb of Tornami as he did in later seasons, Nor Clay and the fist of tebigong, since both are in possession of Jack Spicer. He did, however, lose Sword of the Storm on the Star Hanabi Showdown. So Raimundo and Kimiko have their signature weapons

2. Mala Mala Jong will appear...just later on, same with Peridot, Chase Young, Jasper, and a few others.

3. Golden Tiger Claw will also appear later.

4. While I had debated over this, I am NOT heavy shipping people. There will be some cute romance in it, but nothing too heavy handed. Just let the romance blossom naturally.

Lastly. Here's what each side have going into the split

Xiaolin: Jack:

Falcon's Eye Changing Chopsticks

Jetbootsu Eye of Dashi

Mantis Flip Coin Orb of Tornami

Sword of the Storm Fist of Tebigong

Serpent's Tail Helmet of Jong

Sapphire Dragon Monkey Staff

Shroud of Shadows Ring of the Nine Dragons

Star Hanabi Tangle Web Comb

Third-Arm Sash

Two-Ton Tunic

With everything set in stone, let's kick it off.

6:30 am, Jack's HQ (AKA his parent's home)

Jack was in the middle of making more of his Jackbots, wanting to be ready when the next Wu activates. Wuya would float up behind him, not amused on his focus on the robots. "JACK!" Wuya shouted, causing Jack to get startled. "Why must you always fiddle with your robots?" she added. "Come on, you know I get easily startled when you do that." Jack whined. "Besides, I want to make sure to be ready on the next Wu when it does activate. It's not the matter if anymore, it's when." "Hmmm" Wuya murmured. "That is true. But considering how weak they are, it won't matter much."

"HEY! They could do well." Jack said, trying to defend his idea. "The Monks have destroyed, what, several hundreds of them now?" Wuya counter-argued. Jack didn't have much of a comment after that. "Just as I thought, the only reason we have these Wu was from the Chameleonbot and the Changing Chopsticks. If it wasn't for those, we barely would have any Wu, if at all." Wuya reminded. "I'm seeing more of you as a flash in the pan, one good trick and nothing else." Jack went back to work and ignore Wuya. Wuya would sigh in resignation and floats away. "Of all people to work with, this is the guy I got to work with?" Wuya mumbles to herself. "I might as well work alone...if I had a body." Jack would just finished his Jackbot and went to his next Jackbot.

Fade to the Xiaolin Temple

The Monk were doing their usual training, even thought Raimundo was a little tired, mostly due to the Texas trip throwing his sleep pattern off. Clay was now back on the team, a few days after the whole debacle with his Dad. While the Monks were off training, Dojo and Master Fung were mostly watching from the side. However, Dojo couldn't just shake off a feeling. Ever since the Wu's began to reactivate, a particular Wu always creep into his mind as of late. "Master Fung, I want to mention something." Dojo said with some concern in his voice. "What is on your mind, Dojo?" Master Fung responded calmly. Dojo didn't know how to beat around the bush around the issue he had, but was going to try anyway. "I'm mostly concern if a particular wu's activation would interfere with another particular group. You know...G.A.R.P?" Dojo said. Master Fung realized what he's trying to say. He pondered for a few moments. "That's..a good concern, Dojo." He said, staying calm. "It's bound to happen sooner or later."

Meanwhile, Raimundo, at this point, was somewhat sleepy. Kimiko and Clay noticed this for a good while and finally spoke up. "Man, Texas must had done a number on your sleep pattern, Raimundo." Clay said, giving Raimundo a large pat on his back. "Yea...it's only been a few days" Raimundo said. He then lead out a fairly noticeable yawn. "But when things do simmer down, I think I'll be fine." He added. "Hey, guys." Dojo said, a bit loud and slithering towards them. All of the Monks came up to him. "Something up, Dojo?" Kimiko asked. "Well, Master Fung and I wanted to inform you guys something important." Dojo said, with a bit of seriousness in the tone. The Monks were kinda puzzled from this.

A few moments later, they were at a secluded field with a tree over their heads to give them shade. They were sitting in a circle. Master Fung was the first one to speak. "As you all know, The Shen Gong Wu was created by Dashi to help defeat Wuya in the first ever Xiaolin Showdown." Master Fung said. "Yea, so why are you repeating this?" Raimundo said. "Patience, Raimundo." Master Fung said, holding an open palm. "Because there's an extra side to the story." he added. "Dashi had some helping hands to help create the Shen Gong Wu" This surprised the Monks. All this time, they knew the story to a tee, and for Fung and Dojo to drop this is mind boggling

"Dojo, care to tell them who helped out Dashi?" Master Fung said to Dojo. Dojo took in a deep breath. "Okay." Dojo said as he exhales. "So, Dashi didn't fully create them, but had the idea. During this time, 4 other people were exploring around at the same time as Dashi's idea for the Shen Gong Wu creation. Their names were Rose Quartz, Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst, and they called themselves the Crystal Gems." "Crystal what?" Omi said, kinda surprised from this. Kimiko began to pull out her laptop to do some research. "From what I could gather from that time, There was this huge gem war over this planet, resulting an evacuation of other gems. This left Rose, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst on earth, trying to find and bubble corrupted gems that wasn't able to evacuate before something call the corrupting light." Dojo added. "Maybe they should have called it the Flash" Raimundo said with a snicker. Kimiko nudges Raimundo's arm. "Hey..." Raimundo bemoans.

"So, what does the Gems has to do with the Wu's creation?" Clay asked. "Well, some of the Wu were based off of their abilities. Not all, but some." Dojo said. "If I remember correctly, the Fist of Tebigong was based off of Garnet's Gauntlets, Sword of the Storm was somewhat based off of Rose's Sword, though more smaller. But I'm having issues remembering some of them correctly. I mean, we somehow meet up one day, a few weeks later, Dashi was making Wu's and having more Wu idea left and right, and we were able to beat Wuya a bit later. However, about a week later, the Gems departed. That was the last time I saw them and I have no idea where they are now." Dojo said. He then looks to see Kimiko on her laptop "And now I say that, Kimiko will find out where they are." he added, knowing what might happen next. "And you'd be right" Kimiko said. "While you were retelling the story, I was doing some research to find where they might be now, and founded this." She said as she showed her laptop screen.

It said, "OCEAN DISAPPEARS AND REAPPEARS IN BEACH CITY!", and it was dated several days ago. "That's when we were in Texas" Omi said. "Talk about timing." Raimundo added. "Knowing that, it's easy to peg this city as the Gems current location." Kimiko said. "What makes you so sure?" Raimundo asked. "Think about it, they would be getting tired from not having a place to call home, there's a big statue facing the ocean, and it's close to a town that could be defended." Kimiko said, all while pointing at the statue in the pic. Raimundo just remained silent. "You do make a good point, Kimiko." Master Fung commented. Dojo pulls out the Ancient Scroll and opens it. "Alright, so I might want to mention that the Gems have one Wu as a parting give." Dojo said. "You do know you could have added that info in the story, right?" Raimundo mention. "Right….well, anyway, the wu is the Longi Kite, allowing the user to fly with full control." Dojo said. They understood what the wu is and the location, now to find them, and to do that, they need to head to Beach City. They knew, time was limited as it could activate at any time.

Fade to the outskirts of Beach City

"Here we are, Beach City, home of the Crystal Gems...hopefully." Dojo said as he flies over the town in his big size. He soon landed on the Beach. The monks hop off of Dojo as he reverts back to his small size. "Alright, so we need to find Garnet, Rose, Amethyst, and Pearl." Dojo reminded. "Do you know what they look like?" Raimundo asked. "You do remember that it's been over 1500 year since they last met, Right?" Kimiko reminded, now with a green and blue hair for this trip. Raimundo face palmed hard. "GAH...forgot about that." Raimundo remembered. "Well, we would have to look around the city." Omi suggested. "At least it's not as big as New York City." Clay said, remembering the time Omi got lost in NYC. "Alright, so Kimiko and Clay look at one side and Raimundo and Omi should look at the other side. I'm going to hang back since people would think me as an animal and might call animal control on me." Dojo said with the plan. The Monks nod, even though Raimundo would prefer to work with either Clay or Kimiko, but he'll roll with the punch. They spread out and look for the gems.

A montage shows the monks visiting several locations, from Kimiko and Clay at the Big Donut, talking to Lars and Sadie, Omi and Raimundo talking to Sour Cream at the pier, Kimko and Clay talking to Kofi Pizza, who looks like he's mentioning a bit of the gems and a bit of their history, and ending Omi and Raimundo walking out of the library. Raimundo wasn't looking too thrilled at this point. "Ugh..." Raimundo bemoans "We are getting good info on their history but no solid conclusion where they might be right now." "Don't be so fret, Raimundo." Omi said, trying to get Raimundo in good spirits. "We can find them without calling for drastic time." "Uhh...calling for drastic measures." Raimundo tries to correct as they near a building.

Omi soon faced forward, looks and sees the car wash called "it's a wash", Steven and Greg working on something, with Greg on in a computer chair, while there were three other people working at a beat up van. Raimundo would notice it too. "Wait…." Raimundo said, looking at the three people and analyzing them. He sees one that was light purple, had long white hair, and wore a darker purple and black jumpsuit with white boots, a second was kinda redish-orange to him with a visor with a poofy square afro, black and red outfit with the red covering her right leg and a fairly noticeable star. The last one had a pointy hair, light blue skirt, yellow shorts, a bow on her back, and was pale white. The last one made his head click. "It… must be them." Raimundo said. Omi looked at Rai, a bit confused. "What?" Omi asked. Raimundo then whispered to Omi which made him also finally put the pieces together. "Well, we need to get to Dojo then." Omi said. Raimundo nods and both head back to the beach, where Dojo was hanging back at.

Back at Kimiko and Clay, they were heading back to the beach side, when they noticed a building near the statue they saw in the news page. "Hmm...this looks like they might live here." Clay said as Kimiko peeks through the window door. She sees the warp pad and the Temple Gate. The house looked pretty organized. "That door inside must be important to them." Kimiko said "Plus there's a pad in front of the door, but what does it do?" she pondered. Clay would began to head down the stairs as he noticed Raimundo and Omi running towards Dojo. "Hey, Kimiko, Raimundo and Omi must have important info for Dojo and are running faster than a cheetah catching its food." Clay mentions. Kimiko turns and does indeed sees them running. Both head down the stair and towards Dojo.

Dojo at this point was relaxing a little but was still waiting if there's info to the Gems. Just then, Clay and Kimiko arrive just as Raimundo and Omi were shouting for Dojo. "DOJO!" Omi shouted. Dojo looks at Omi as he and Raimundo arrives. "What's going on?" Dojo said. "Did you find them?" "We think we did, they are currently at a place called "It's a Wash" Working at some beat up van." Raimundo said. Dojo quickly hops on to Clay's shoulder. "Alright, lead the way." Dojo said. Omi and Raimundo would help Kimiko, Dojo and Clay on leading the way.

Fade to black then fade back in, this time to Jack's HQ

Jack would just finish his 60th jackbot of the day and decided to take time to have a bit of lunch. He looks in the fridge and sees that the pudding cup he saved up for a few days is now gone. He closed the fridge a bit miffed. "Wuya, did you eat my last pudding cup?" he said, sound a bit agitated. Wuya looked at Jack like if he made a rhetorical question. "I'm a ghost, I do not need to eat." Wuya responded. "Remember." Jack was kinda puzzled on the pudding cup now. "Besides, you should be focusing on the Shen Gong Wu activating any time and not on some pudding." Wuya added. Jack knew it's been a few days since the last wu activated and is doubting it would activate at this point so early, but on the other hand, some wu did activate close to one another. He softly groans and goes back to look over what to eat then. "Well...I guess yogurts will have to do." Jack said, not really happy of his missing pudding. Wuya floats away and isn't not amused. As we pan out, Jack begins to munch on his lunch, which was a sandwich, yogurt, chocolate milk, and a couple of chocolate chip cookies.

We cut back to the car wash. Pearl was looking into the van's engine, Amethyst and Garnet were leaning back at the wall, with Amethyst sitting. "Wow, those water constructs did a number on Greg's van." Pearl said as she looks over the engine. She kept looking around the engine, wonder how to repair it. "Ahhh, give it a rest, Pearl" Amethyst said, nonchalant. "That thing will be busted forever." "I disagree." Pearl said with some confidence. "It's a simple human machine, I'm sure I can figure this whole thing out before you know it." "Excuse me." A voice echos out. It was from Omi, standing in front of Clay, Raimundo, and Kimiko with Dojo hiding behind Clay's shoulder, ready surprise all 3 of them, but think it's all 4 of them. "Uh, hello." Pearl said, not sure what to say. "What is your name?" Raimundo was quick to the point. "Name's Raimundo" he said, pointing to himself then pointing to each of his respective monks, "Clay, the cowboy, Kimiko, with the hair change, and Omi, the….uh….to be blunt, the ego" he said. Omi didn't take that kindly and gave him a not so likeable glare with a soft groan. "Ooookay, so why are you want to talk to me?" Pearl said, unsure what they are planning. Dojo soon pops up. "Yea, that would be me." Dojo said with a bit of an awkward wave. Pearl soon remembered who he is. "Wait...Dojo?" Pearl said. Garnet and Amethyst soon walked over, surprised about Dojo's appearance.

Just as they are about to reminisce the first time they meet, Steven and Greg were heading to the group. "Hey, guys." Steven said. Greg wasn't too far behind, in a movable chair and with a hockey stick. "Zoop!" Greg sounded. "So what's going on here?" he asked. The monks look at Greg's leg, which now had a ruler and some duct tape. Raimundo wasn't really impressed by it. "Why a ruler and Duct tape?" he asked. "Oh...uhh...well it's kinda a long story." Greg said. "Sorry, Greg, but we need to mention something" Pearl said. "Dojo…are they…activating?" she said sounding a bit worried. "Unfortunately, that is correct." Dojo said with a soft nod. "And Wuya had escaped not too long ago." Steven was a bit confused "Uhh...am I missing something?" Steven said, a bit confused. The monks were wondering about the kid. "So, who's the kid's name?" Kimiko asked. "Oh, my name's Steven" he said with a smile. Dojo began to wonder something but maybe would bring it up a bit later. For now, he needs to do 2 things, get the Gems up to speed and find the Longi Kite.

A bit later, They arrive back at the beach house, with Greg getting help from Clay and Garnet. Greg sat down at the end of the couch with Clay and Garnet next to Greg and Raimundo sitting next to Clay. Omi, Steven, Pearl, Amethyst, Kimiko, and Dojo sat on the floor around the table. Dojo was the first one to start the quick catch up. "Okay, so to get the Gems, Steven and Greg up to speed, The Wus began to reactivate a couple of months ago after Jack Spicer let Wuya escaped the box." Dojo said. Steven would raise his hand. Kimiko quickly gave Steven a pic of what Jack and Wuya looks like. Steven softly nods and lower his hand. "Since the wus are reactivating, the Longi Kite is due for reactivation." Dojo added as he pulls out the ancient scroll and shows what it looks like. "I know where it is." Greg said. "Rose and I used it as a kite several times, but I put it in storage since I couldn't put it in the van without creeping me out." The Gems moans audibly, knowing how messy and stuffed Greg's storage unit is. The monks were kinda perplexed from the moan but knowing from the sound, it's not good sign. "Something wrong about that?" Omi said, curious. "Well..." Greg said, kinda awkwardly.

A quick cut shows Greg opening the storage locker he rented and shows how stuffed is. Raimundo wasn't very amused and just face palmed, Kimiko was just not happy about it. Clay was scratching his head on how he was able to do this and Omi was more surprised about storage units and what they are than Greg's storage. Dojo grew very nervous from seeing Greg's storage. It would take a good while before they could find it. Dojo and the monks takes a deep breath. "Okay." Dojo say as all 5 of them exhales. "Well, maybe we could find it before it ac-" he added before his sense a Wu activating. Out of all the Wus, it's the Longi Kite. "OF ALL THE TIMING!" Dojo shouted. The Monks and Gems realized it's the Longi Kite that's activating. "Then, that means that slithering Jack and Wuya are on their way soon." Clay said. "Steven, you manage to get Rose's Light Cannon out before" Pearl said. "Can you do this for the Longi Kite?" "I remember seeing it while getting the cannon, so sure." Steven said with a quick response. He quickly gets ready for some rummaging around again. The Gems grow worry that Wuya might find out what the Monks might be doing

Fade to Jack's HQ

Jack just finished counting his Jackbots and the total amount at this time is 305. "That's a good amount to have on standby." Jack said to himself. Just as he said that, Wuya made a noticeable gasp "A NEW SHEN GONG WU HAS REVEALED ITSELF! The Longi Kite" Wuya said outloud. With glowing yellow eyes, signaling her wu sense. "Okay, so simple grab and go." Jack said, starting up 105 Jackbots and leaving 200 on standby. "So where is it?" he asked. Wuya quickly processed the location. "Some place called...Beach City." she said. "That place? I just heard on the news recently about the ocean disappearing and reappearing just one day later. Then there was reports of a massive blowfish, drilled holes, and some weirdo that runs a blog site that is called "Keep Beach City Weird". I don't know abou-" he blabbed before Wuya stops him with her glare. "JACK, GO GET THE LONGI KITE INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT "WEIRD" STUFF!" she said with an angry glare. "Okay, okay...jeez." Jack said as he, Wuya, and 105 Jackbots heads out towards Beach City.

Back at Beach City, The monks were holding the rope Steven tied around his waist to rummage to find the Longi Kite. Pearl was looking very concern, mostly about seeing Wuya after 1500 years of capture, but Dojo finally decides to ask the Gems something. "While we are waiting on Steven in the storage for the Longi Kite, I do want to ask about Rose." Dojo asked. "I noticed the Rose painting on the door and I'm wondering why?" Pearl looked at Dojo with a bit of confliction on her face. "Rose..." Pearl said with a bit of a crack on her voice. She calms herself down. "Rose had to give up her physical form so Steven could be born." she said. Dojo was surprised from this. This mean that Steven is Rose's son, and since Greg is Steven's dad, it put two and two together quickly. "So...is Steven a...Gem?" he asked. "He's a hybrid" Garnet mention. "Half-human, Half-gem." The Monks over heard this and were surprised from it. "Wait, so Steven is a hybrid?" Raimundo said, still holding the rope. Just as they discovered it, the rope tugs. "I found the kite!" Steven shouted. "Alright, Pull on 3." Omi said. "1….2….3!" he said as all 4 of the monks pulled. Steven was pulled out, holding the Longi Kite. The Gems sighs of relief. Maybe they didn't have to face Wuya at this point. "Nice work, Steven" Raimundo said. Steven smiles as he gets up.

Just then, A jackbot came out of nowhere, manages to both tackle Steven and snatch the Longi Kite. Steven hit the ground a bit hard. "STEVEN!" The Gem said with massive concern. "Oh, no..." Raimundo said, realizing that the Jackbots are here, meaning…."Hello, Xiaolin Losers." Jack said, flying with his backpack copter. The Jackbot hands Jack the Longi Kite. He then notices the Gems. "Oh, look at that, you made some friends with weird fashion sense." Jack bolstered. "One that should be in the 80s, another looking like she's out of an anime, and one looks...I don't know a good analogy for the purple one." he teased. This only infuriated the Gems and got their gems weapons out. Wuya floats next to Jack. "Don't just stand there, attack!" Wuya demanded. "Hey, I'll start when I want to." Jack said with a finger wag to Wuya. He remain quiet for a few seconds before he said his phrase. "Jackbots, ATTACK!" he commanded. The Jackbot attacked the Gems, Steven, and the Monks.

Pearl was the first one to battle against the Jackbots with her spear. Three Jackbots were quickly dispatched with Pearl's quick spear strikes and even firing a few projectiles to disable a few Jackbots. Amethyst would quickly used her whips to sling 2 jackbots into 2 more jackbots and even splits a jackbot in half cleanly with little effort. Garnet used her Gauntlets to easily grab several Jackbots, removing one of the jackbots head, crushing several of the Jackbots into one big wad of metal and even slamming 3 of them into a Jackbot that was flying towards her. The Monks were also dealing the Jackbots, as they also know Jack's tricks at this point. Garnet then used the big wad and threw it to Jack. Jack tried to fly up quickly enough but got pegged pretty hard on his right leg from part of the metal ball. The pain was sharp enough to cause him to drop the Longi Kite. He grabs his lower right leg with both hand and was wincing in pain. "OWWW! NOT COOL!" Jack shouted.

The Longi Kite landed on Steven as he slowly gets up. "Huh?" Steven said as he shift the Longi Kite and holds it. "Well, that's convenient." he said. Jack tries to move his right leg around but still felt some sharp pain. "Gah...We need to bail on this." Jack said. "What, now?!" Wuya said, angerly. "That's absolutely pathetic!" Jack gave Wuya a hurt look. His right leg did look pretty roughed up. Wuya would sigh in frustration. "Fine..." Wuya admitted. She turns and looks at the Gems. They looked so familiar to her, but don't know why. "Why do you three look so...familiar?" she said. The Gems stayed quiet. Even Dojo, with his loud mouth, held back on spilling the beans. After a few moments of thinking Jack began to fly away. Wuya notices him flying away. "You monks got lucky with them, but don't rest easy. We'll be back and stronger than ever." Wuya warned the Monks. She floats to catch up with Jack. The Jackbots also start to retreat, what amount is left.

"Phew..." Amethyst said "We did a number on that Jack guy." "For now at least." Garnet said "But they won't lie down so easily, mostly Wuya." The monks were relieved that Jack and Wuya pretty much bailed without a showdown. They went over to Steven. "You okay, Steven?" Clay said, giving him a helping hand. "Thanks, and yes, I'm fine." Steven said. Pearl would softly huffs. "Well, Steven, now you know about the monks a bit more, but they have to head back to their Temple." Pearl said. "What..." Steven said, a bit disappointed. "It's true." Raimundo said, sounding neutral of this. "but, what if Jack attacks your temple? Where would you go if it's gone?" The monk weren't too sure it would happen but Dojo remembered something else. "That….a good point." Dojo said. "Jack and Wuya have the pieces for…." Dojo added before trailing off and looking a bit scared. He felt shivers down his spine. The monks were wondering what Dojo is thinking. "I...think I'll talk Master Fung about it. You 4 stay here for the night or few." Dojo said, kinda acting a bit weird. He quickly transform into his big form and flies off. The monks looks at each other confused on what is happening

Fade to black and fade back in at night time at the beach house.

The monks didn't hear back from Dojo, and they are worried about him. The Gems have some sleeping bags for the Monks, mostly thanks to Greg's storage. Amethyst walked up to Raimundo with his sleeping bag. "Here's you sleeping bag, Raimundo" Amethyst said, handing Raimundo's bag. "Thanks, at least this will be as comfy, if not more, than the mat back at the temple." he said. The couch would allow Omi and one other monk to sleep on it, one would sleep on the couch near the window and one have to sleep on the floor. Clay volunteered as the floor guy, knowing Raimundo wouldn't do it and wanted to be courteous for Kimiko. Steven walked out of the bathroom in his pajama outfit. "Alright, I think I'll head to bed soon." Steven told the gems and monks. "Alright, Steven, have a good rest." Pearl said. Raimundo looked at the time and it was about 9 pm, roughly the same time as curfew at the Temple. 'Maybe this isn't going to be too much of a change' Raimundo thought. 'Besides, the Gems are more stronger and experienced than we are, and we can get a much help as we need.' The Monks would get to their bed slots, with Raimundo going to sleep next to Omi. The camera pans out as the light turns off and the star iris zooms into the building before completely closing.

End of episode 1.
