Emily's POV
A few weeks passed since I arrived at the Xiaolin Temple and I my wounds were now completely healed. Since I was a new Xiaolin Monk I had to be evaluated for my rank and I was surprised I was at the apprentice level. I welcomed the training and I enjoyed it. It didn't take long to become friends with the others and Dojo seemed to stick with me quite often I guess it was a dragon thing. While I had been training I practiced using Shen-Gong-Wu which was cool. I wondered when the newest Shen-Gong-Wu would reveal itself because frankly I was eager to see a Xiaolin Showdown.
Jack's POV
"WHO ATE THE LAST PUDDING CUP?!" I roared. I was grumpy as hell due to the lack of Shen-Gong-Wu not being reveled the past few weeks. I stormed over to my lab table and tossed aside robotic parts in frustration. "I can't concentrate on upgrading my robots without pudding! WUYA!"
"WHAT?!" Wuya demanded appearing before me in her ghost form. "You should be focused on gathering Shen-Gong-Wu not pudding"
"What Shen-Gong-Wu? You haven't sensed any in weeks!" I replied holding a calendar to prove my point. "Probably been too busy scarfing down other people's pudding cup!"
Wuya then went through my mouth and I immediately closed it.
"I'm ghostly I don't eat" the witch stayed unamused.
"Well technically you don't sweat either but you still manage to put off some serious B.O. sister" I growled waving the smell of sweat away with my right hand and Wuya widened her eyes.
"I'm surprised you can smell anything considering how often you have your little fingers up your nostrils you'd think there was an entire vault of Shen-Gong-Wu up there" Wuya replied and she used her ghost like hands to point on the painted nose on her mask. She suddenly gasped and her eyes glowed.
"I am sensing a Shen-Gong-Wu"
"It's about time woman" I responded.
Emily's POV
"So what Shen-Gong-Wu is this one?" I asked Dojo. I was currently riding on Dojo's back with the others and he was in his larger form.
"It's called the Shadow Lance" Kimiko explained opening a scroll and it showed a figure holding a lance which shot out of black orbs. "It let's the wielder shoot out orbs of darkness"
"Sounds like a wu Jack or Chase might want" Raimundo added. At the mention of Chase Young I felt my face go blood red. I always had a huge crush on the powerful Heylin evil doer.
"I thought you guys said that this Chase Young guy wasn't one for Shen-Gong-Wu"
"Normally he doesn't but some Shen-Gong-Wu catch his interest" Omi pointed out. "He's strong Emily so don't underestimate him"
"I don't intend to" I agreed as Dojo continued on his way. He ended up taking us to a beautiful lakeside and landed on the grass and we got off of his back before he reverted to his smaller size.
"Here Em" Raimundo said giving me the Thorn of Thunderbolt. "Just in case"
"Much appreciated" I answered holding the lighting based Shen-Gong-Wu close. We all looked around looking for any sign of the Shadow Lance. While in the midst of searching the familiar noise of Jack's helibot made us look into the sky and sure enough there was the adorable goth with Wuya hanging beside him.
"This wu is mine Xiaolin losers!" the red head taunted. He then took notice of me. "Nice! You guys got a new member huh?"
"Jack! Find the Shadow Lance!" Wuya demanded at the goth. Jack rolled his eyes before sending his robots at us. Two of his robots came at me and I used the Thorn of Thunderbolt to destroy one while giving the other a serious roundhouse kick which sent the piece of machinery flying and it exploded on impact against a tree.
Something shiny came into my vision and I saw the Shadow Lance. It was on the ledge overlooking the waterfall and I ran like hell towards it. I had to dodge some of Jack's robots while I made my way towards the Shen-Gong-Wu. I knew Jack was just as determined to get to it as well. Ten minutes later the Shadow Lance was in front of me and at the same time I touched it Jack's gloved hand did as well.
The Shadow Lance glowed gold signaling the start of a Xiaolin Showdown.
"Jack I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown" I began. "I'll wager the Thorn of Thunderbolt against your Monkey Staff"
"Challenge accepted babe what's the game?" the goth inquired.
"My name is Emily pal and the game is Dance of Dragons, the first to be knocked out of the sky loses and the one remaining wins"
"Okay let's get this show on the road!"
"Let's go Xiaolin Showdown!" I cried and the area around changed.
Jack's POV
The playing field changed and when it settled both Emily and I stood on rocks above the clouds. A robotic dragon came next to me and I climbed onto it.
"Gong Ye Tan Pei!" we called out and what happened next made my jaw drop. Emily's body smoked black and then in her place was a huge black dragon!
Emily's POV
Seeing Jack's reaction to me shifting to my dragon form was hilarious and I took flight from my rock platform. Various rocks as well as geysers shot their way at me and Jack trying to knock one of us out from the sky. A rock hit my chest but it didn't do much damage and I continued to maneuver my way around. The others shouted their support from below. Suddenly I felt fire hit my flank and I saw Jack was using his dragon robot to hiss flames at me. The robot was slightly smaller but still big enough to do some damage. I gave an unpleasant shriek as I did my best to avoid being burned some more. I then turned my body and I shrieked a challenge before charging at Jack. Realizing he was in trouble Jack screamed and he used the Monkey Staff which transformed him into a monkey and he got off of the robotic dragon.
Using my dragon fire I destroyed the damn thing and it fell towards the earth. I then felt something sharp in my neck and I knew it was Jack. The little punk was biting me!
Annoyed I turned my body into a nose dive and I was descending towards the ground very fast. Jack screamed his girly scream and used his heli bot to get off of me. Using my wings I repositioned my body and I flew towards Jack at a very fast pace and I used my tail to smack him hard. The Monkey Staff went flying from his hand and thanks to my tail his heli bot broke. Jack screamed as he went flying towards the earth and the showdown was over.
The surroundings returned to normal and I landed next to the others with the Shadow Lance in my mouth and the two other wagered wu in my talons.
"Way to go Dragon Girl!" Raimundo yelled as I set the wu down and changed back to my human form.
"Your first showdown was most impressive Emily" Omi complimented.
"Heck ya" Kimiko added.
"Couldn't agree more" Clay finished.
"Thanks guys I value your words" I told my friends and I picked up the Shadow Lance. It's handle was jet black and the blade was razor sharp designed in a triangular point.
"Hey!"
We all looked to Jack who was ticked off he lost another showdown.
"This isn't over by a long shot!" the Goth then took off with another heli bot. I guess Jack brought a spare and Wuya flew after her comrade. Usually she was with Chase at this point but I guess she was going back and forth between him and Jack.
Chase's POV
I watched as the monks climbed onto Dojo's back and then they were gone. I had witnessed the entire showdown hidden from sight. I had heard rumors that the monks had gained a new companion and I wanted to see if it was true. I hadn't been expecting for the new monk to be a dragon shifter.
The young woman was skilled with martial arts and she didn't use her Shen-Gong-Wu much which intrigued me. However it was her performance in the showdown that impressed me. She easily defeated Spicer in her true state. It would seem Omi was no longer alone on my list to turn over to the Heylin Side.
"I intend to learn more about you Sky Warrior" I muttered to myself while I stroked the tiger next to me on its head.
Hehe Chase has already noticed Emily. Emily will meet him in the next chapter.
