A Spice for New Harmony
Chapter 003 - 'Spicer' Derek vs Thion of the Wind
Derek got his Former Wear on before putting on his backpack, and using the Techno Bracers, popping out open Two Pairs of Gyro Disks, two on left and another two on the right, and they are battery powered. Just in time after the
He flies straight to the forest before passing to the Abandoned House. He lands and uses his Techno Bracers to scan the House. "This may be exactly it." Derek finalized. "The Abandoned House straight ahead, where the Eagle Scope is."
He pulls the Sleeve back up and starts walking. "Those Xiaolin Monks however. They are fighting like Tiger now."
"YOU THERE!" He finds a Hyena Haired japanese youth jumping over and using both hands as a Stop Sign. "Stay away from the Shen Gong Wus! This is our Quest alone."
"I won't cease earning my Achievement." Derek told Thion, "And don't think I'll not return to the quest."
"Then... I'll have to stop you with full force." Thion readies the stance. The Arms and Hands set to show even he is a Tiger, just like Stoce and other Apprentices. "Even... if I must end your Life! WIND!"
"Dagger Droids!" He types on his lefty Techno-Bracers, before in comes the Bipedal-Shaped Robots, Normal Head Shape with Football Helmets. Its Torso carrying Football Pads, and Feet with Football Shoes. Being into watching American Football like his Mom, this Robot Design carries the Inspiration from the Specific Sports Derek watches.
The Dagger Droids closes in with Boxing Stances ready. Thion soon meets his match, when the Droids punches with the Gloves, and KICKS! Mimicking the Kung Fu Kicks. Including when the left side raises the knee and delivers rapid Kicks.
"Hey! That's MY TECHNIQUE!" Thion furious, draws the Sword, "Now I'm MAD! Sword of the Storms!" The Dagger Droid however Dodged with a Side Step, runs up before lunging a stop and fierce speed sweep.
Thion however jumps. Both Thion and this Dagger Droid starts trading blows, and Thion already noticing something. "Those Droids shouldn't be that Fast now! Did that brat add upgrades?" Thion could no longer try to reach for the weak spot, now the Dagger Droid is now faster than six months ago.
"DAGGER DROIDS! DRAGON PONY STYLE!"
"Dragon Pony?" The Dagger Droid jumps back and slowly shifts to a different Kung Fu Pose. It goes into the Horse Stance, but his arms shifts into that of a Dragon. "That's the Longma Stance." Eyes widened, "Oh no..."
The other Dagger Droid joins and uses the Same Longma Stance. They surround and the beating starts. Thion forced to parry all the punches and kicks. A Finger Flick before another Droid spins and bends down for a Horse Kick, knocking Thion back. The third time is not always the charm for Thion, since the Dagger Droids also had AI upgrades to expose the Xiaolin Laohu's Tiger Weak Points and Flaws. Their Lightning Fast Speed is no longer useful. Just as Thion does the Tiger Tail Kick, Dagger Droid grabs the leg and tosses. Another one does low short punts, which Thion blocks while backing up. He feels his arms already bruising.
"Damn it! Guess I have no other Choice!" Thion growled in frustration, with his Sword of the Storm up, "Sword of the Storm!" Thion swings the sword and lets loose the Flying Bladed Projectile powered by Fierce Winds. It cuts through the two Dagger Droids, rendering them useless. Derek however saw it, 5 miles away and flying towards it.
"Is Thion Crazy?!" Derek's eyes widens, "He's gonna destroy the House." He runs up, slams the Door Open and closes it. A Heavy thud is what he Heard. "Brick Walls. Looks like I'm lucky." He looks forward, "The Eagle Scope." He runs up but then hears,
"Sword of the Storms!" he hear Thion, and just as Derek is about to grab it, so does Thion, and it glows with chi magic. Both staring at each others.
"You're that Guy from Before. Thion, Right?" Derek asked,
"Correct. My name is Thion Avendune." Thion said, "And if you Seek a Xiaolin Showdown, I will grant you one! I wager Sword of the Storms!"
"In that Case, Cat's Eye Draco." Derek said, "Name your Game."
"We'll each be in each other's Dungeon Maze," Thion begins, setting up the rules, "where Ghostly Armor Monsters themed of what others like, will be our Adversaries as we search room to room. The First Crawler to end Dungeon and grab the Eagle Scope off the Pedestal WINS."
"Sounds like the Dungeon Crawl games you play." Derek smiled, "Alright, I'll take on your Game. Let's Rock!"
"XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"
The Eagle Scope hovers up, while the Stone Walls grows, with Wooden Doors and Iron Doors, both without a Keyhole. Armors Hovering to form up and be set up. Both Can feel the ground rumbling, slowly fading away as more walls are setting up from miles away.
Somewhere from the Edge of the Forest, two Police in a Jungle Camo Military Outfit. Both who are Humanoid Changelings.
"Pharynx! Look at that." He pointed at the glowing object.
"Is that the Artifact those Chinese Rebels are looking for?" Pharynx asked, "Isn't that what this Derek Kid after?"
"He's not part of the Xiaolin Monks however." He said, "What should we do?"
"Let's wait and watch those two Man." Pharynx said
On another Side, a Black Haired Man in a Japanese Martial Arts GI, but also wearing a yellow shirt, black trousers, and gray iron sandals.
"What's this..." he said, "Derek is the new Spicer?" he watches and gives out a 'Hmm', "So Jack Spicer's death has answered the call."
Back in the Maze, where Derek and Thion sees each others through the Thick Glass with Fishnet Holes.
"Horseshoes?" Thion said, "So you really did accepted their Alien Ways."
"They're Equestrians." Derek said, "And what happened is only a Hundred Years ago."
"I don't care. Humanity will be Avenged." Thion said,
"Isn't that like against the Chinese Code?" Derek reminded,
Thion stared for a moment, and said, "In such case, I'll break it. Get Ready, Techno-Mancer!"
And the Holes on the Thick Glass Window fills up.
"GONG YI TEMPAI!"
Both sprints through the hallway. The Contest to reach the Shen Gong Wu has begun.
Derek goes through the navigation, using the drawing app he built in his Techno Bracer to draw the map. As soon he reaches the first area, First Haunted Armor comes alive. "Not a Problem!" Derek brandishes his right-side techno-bracers, "Thermal Laser!" and started firing with his fist angled down. Each Lasers pushing the Armored Back, before it finally falls down.
As for Thion, avoiding small pony-armors. Looking like Romans. "Are they Romans back then?" Thion asked, while jumping and doing a spinning kick, knocking both Ghost Armors. "Can't underestimate them. Just like Master Mao said." Pony Armors leap and strike, while wielding his Sword of the Storms, Blasting Bladed Projectiles of Wind, knocking them and shattering the Armor to the wall.
Derek raised his Cat's Eye Draco. "Cat's Eye Draco!" placed on the Right Side Techno Bracer, powering up the Thermo Laser. "Take this!" And letting loose red hot plasma blasts. Each knocking down one by one the Living Chinese Armor Suit. Clanging Sounds come when they fall to the ground. Finding himself now surrounded by more Chinese Armor Suits, walking up. "Time for Cat's Eye Draco, FULL POWER!" A Beam of Hot Plasma fired from his Techno Bracers, before he Spins his arm in a clockwise manner, before stopping to see there are scorched marks.
"Derek... So he knows to use this." Thion said, while striking each Pony Armors, "I gotta beat him before he can go over his head." he sprints forward but stops when the ground shakes from the bigger armor landing on the ground. It is revealed to be a Hippogriff. Bigger too. "Sweet Shen-Laohu! A Hippogriff!" It raises the claw gauntlet and slams, unleashing energy shockwaves, and forcing Thion to jump out of the way. He jumps forward and does leaping kicks, but bounced back every time. The Fifth time, where the Hippogriff Armor does a back kick, knocking him to the wall. He struggles on the feet. "What a Strong Kick." blood coughed out of Thion's mouth. "Time to use it again. WIND!" He raises the Sword of the Storms, wind gathered into a big tornado.
Meanwhile, Derek finds a Tiger-Figured Armor, leaping around. "I can see why Those Felines are Fast. But how about this?!" He raises the Right Techno-Bracer, "Hydro then Cryo!" He fires a Torrent of Pure Water, before firing a Cryo Laser, creating a wall of Ice and tripping The Tiger. "And now! Cat's Eye Draco and Thermo Laser! COMBINE!" he fires the red hot plasma beam, and destroys the Tiger Armor.
Afterwards, he explores around, but then finds a Pitfall. Derek can see the Shen Gong Wu. "There! The Eagle Scope." He walks and looks down and straight ahead. He checks the fuel gauge on his Gyro Pack's Battery. "3 Percent. I won't be able to fly there with that Juice. Too risky" But then he hears purs. He turns around and walks to the other room, a Dragon-Shaped Armor behind the Bars. It looks at Derek and slightly shook in fear. "Shh-Shh. It's alright. Let me free you from the Cells." He raises the Right Side Techno Bracer and fire and then "Cryo Laser." out comes the Blue Laser. Freezing all the bars on this side. He tests with a finger flick to shatter the ice. "Okay, try to break through."
He watches the Dragon Armor shatter through, giving a doggy cheerful yelp, while Derek returns with a Petting. "Can you help me get across the Pit." The Dragon Armor nods and walks up. Neck reaching the other side, and Derek does the balancing, walking slowly before jumping down. But stopped when arrows fly. He turns to see the Dragon Armor turning around and growled at the Chinese Armor Suits, before the fight begins. "It's all thanks to my Perk."
He sees Thion ahead. Though Struggling. "Unbelievable. So this is what Master Mao warned us about." Derek can see that Thion is bleeding from his chest, and another from his lips.
"Maybe next time." Derek said, walking up to the Pedestal with the Shen Gong Wu. He takes it. "You'd be wise not to underestimate the Strength of Equestrian hooves. I hereby sign my Victory to your Xiaolin Showdown."
Everything Flashes, and the field returns to normal, with the Abandoned House still in tact. Thion pulls out the Magic Coin and flips. It lands on the ground and conjures a Magic Doorway, leading ot the Xiaolin Temple straightly hidden in China."Derek... The Xiaolin Tigers will not Forget this!" Thion shouted, "Master Mao will hear this." he walks through and the Door shrinks and dissolves.
"At long last!" Derek smiled, looking at his new well earned Shen Gong Wu, along with the Sword of the Storms. "My third Xiaolin Showdown...and my first Victory." He extends the Eagle Scope and looks, adjusting to see how far he can see. "Amazing! I Can see through Trees!" As he zoomed out slightly, he can see inside the Trees. "I see some juice inside the wood. Fresh from the Forest." He turns and turns until he see some, "Ooo! Organs!" quickly zooming out to see two Surprised Police-lings. "Uhh, Huh?!" He lowers it and then uses it again. "Hey. Where'd it go?" He sees the sun setting. "Oh! Time to get home. Can't wait to show my Mom the Treasure I earned."
He puts away the Scope and the Sword. "I'll just jog back to my house. My battery needs Charging anyways."
