Okay. Here is the next chapter. The letting reviewers vote thing doesn't work without reviewers, so I decided whom it would be on my own.
Everyone was preparing for training. Every one except Raimundo, who was sitting in his room. He hadn't been able to sleep last night. He seemed to have lost control of his Element. Master Fung had made a huge deal of Kimiko when everything she got near burst into flames. It was normal that once you could create your element you lost control at some point, before developing a powerful attack. Kimiko had something called Fist of the Mortal Flame.
The previous night Raimundo had gone out in an attempt to focus his energy. While walking past the Meditation Hall, he had seen Kimiko and that new kid kissing. It got him really ticked off. Kimiko wasn't Rai's girlfriend, but if the new kid hadn't come, she would have been. Oh well. At least he could have fun threatening Kimiko that he would tell the others. His was a street-smart kid, and that taught him the importance of blackmail.
That made him laugh for a minute, but his anger resurfaced as Kimiko walked by the door, looking very well rested. He punched the wall angrily, but instead of pain shooting up his arm, a two-foot circle crumbled into dust. He suddenly remembered that he couldn't fully control his powers because miniature tornadoes popped up and sucked up the dust.
Well, at least when I get back control, I won't have to worry about sweeping the floor. It'll be like having a mini vacuum cleaner. he thought
Suddenly he remembered training, and ran outside, where Master Fung was telling them the exercise they would be doing today.
"I'm glad you could join us Raimundo. Today's exercise is-"
"Xiaolin Sur- WAAAAAAAAAH! Oof. That was very painful. And this dirt tastes most unpleasant. Master Fung, why was I suddenly hurled through the air?" Omi asked.
"Uh, I sorta saw Raimundo's arm twitch." Clay told them.
"What? I was expecting him to dodge. He just rants on and on about Tiger Instincts and I was expecting him to dodge or something."
"I do not think that anyone saw anything. Are you sure you are in complete control of your powers? It may have been a gust of wind that threw Omi into the air." said Master Fung.
"Well, I'm guessing Omi must have terrible Tiger Instincts if he didn't see that." said Sousuke. (They found out his name at breakfast or something.) "It was a slightly angled tiger claw move."
"I see. Well, I suppose we should begin training. Omi, Raimundo, choose your Shen Gong Wu. Then come to the sparring circle."
Omi selected the Tangle Web Comb, while Raimundo chose nothing.
"I assume that you are trying to frustrate me," said Omi. "This venture shall be unsuccessful as I never lose my focus." They began the match.
Omi jumped up into the air and so did Raimundo. Omi used his Tsunami Strike, and Raimundo dodged, coming within an inch of being hit.
"Ice Shards!" shouted Omi. A miniature hailstorm stated around Raimundo. Ice Shards were Omi's special attack.
Rai made every attempt to dodge. The shards would cause little more than scratches, but a match was ended at first blood. He felt really angry at the thought of having to listen to Omi brag about Tiger Instincts, and in an instant, had summoned a tornado. The shards were sent flying back at Omi.
"You will not defeat me that easily!" shouted Omi, dodging. He jumped into the air, where Rai was hovering. Rai grabbed the Tangle Web Comb and used it to tie up Omi.
"Winner advances. Raimundo versus Kimiko." said Master Fung.
Kimiko chose the fist of Tebigong, while Raimundo selected the Jet Bootsu. They began shortly after selecting.
Rai jumped into the air and hovered with the Jet Bootsu. He watched Kimiko jump up as well. Her graceful movements and her beauty mesmerized him. He shook his head to clear these thoughts, and realized that she was only two feet away. Rai dropped downward. Unfortunately, Kimiko had been aiming at the Jet Bootsu with the FoT, so the Fist made contact with Raimundo's head. There was a loud crack, followed by a sickening crunch, and Rai plummeted to the ground.
"RAIMUNDO!" she cried. He might have been killed and it would be all her fault. She joined the others, who were crowded around Raimundo.
"Kimiko, get some bandages." said Master Fung urgently. "Omi, clean off the wounds. Clay, please inform Raimundo's parents of his injuries."
Kimiko went to the room above the Vault. She asked a monk where the bandages were, and retrieved them. When she returned, Raimundo was gone.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Raimundo was injured. His nose and mouth were bleeding, and he most likely has a fractured skull. I healed the bleeding, and Raimundo woke up," said Master Fung. "He took the Golden Tiger Claws and left. He has most likely gone back to Wuya, as what little trust he had for us was most likely shattered."
"Kimiko, he is still there, about a mile away," said Sousuke. "I recommend you talk to him before he leaves."
Kimiko did just that. She followed him and when she reached him, she realized Rai had been waiting for her.
"Rai, I'm sorry." she began. Rai looked normal, except for some slight traces of blood, although he probably needed to be hospitalized.
"Sorry for what?! For ruining my life?! I thought I could trust you, if not the others." Kimiko opened her mouth, but Rai continued. "And don't interrupt. I'm not talking about today. That was probably an accident, although you could have redirected the blow if you hadn't been so shocked. I'm talking about last night!" Raimundo had obviously seen her and Sousuke. "I liked you Kimiko. I-" he stopped. He didn't want to talk to Kimiko. "Golden Tiger Claws!" The injuries got the better of Rai, and he collapsed into the portal. Not thinking, Kimiko jumped in after him. She hit cold hard ground and collapsed.
Okay, I got a review. I am not going to make this the end of the chapter. This story takes place after In the Flesh. In this story, Rai rejoined the Dragons because he cared about Kimiko, but now that he left guess where he went. Okay, Here's where Jack was. Wuya has her body back, and so she is somewhere else. So forget what I said about Jack being with a ghost.
Jack was working on his fifth Chameleon-Bot. The Dragons had destroyed Versions 1.0 and 2.0. He accidentally misconnected a power cord when he was charging Version 3.0, resulting in it short circuiting. And the girl training in his Virtual Room had made Version 4.0 into a fireworks display that had torched half his lab. The girl was Dragon of Light. Her name was Sakura. She had been recruited a week ago. This is what happened.
Jack's Shen Gong Wu tracker had been going crazy. He had gone to Japan to find the Shen Gong Wu. The tracker had not given a picture or name, so he didn't know what to look for. The tracker kept pointing to a girl. He assumed she had on the Shen Gong Wu on a necklace or something. Then Wuya and Raimundo had shown up. He found out that the girl was Xiaolin Dragon of Light. She chose to go with Jack, and had been a valuable asset to him. She was very powerful and useful.
She was way better than Wuya. Wuya did nothing but give orders. Sakura could fight in hand to hand combat and use her powers. She also appreciated his genius. She liked his taunting and evil laughter. Wuya had enjoyed the evil, but not the genius. Sakura was also very friendly. She could make friends with anyone, and that made her an ideal spy.
Jack's Shen Gong Wu tracker went off. "Hmm, the Orb of Elements huh. Hey Sakura, a new Shen Gong Wu just activated."
"Orb of Elements? that's split into two orbs. The Upper Elements Orb has Wind, Light, and Fire. The Lower Elements Orb has Earth, Light, and Water." said Sakura.
"Why is Fire part of the Upper Elements?"
"I don't know." admitted Sakura. "You would have to ask Dashi or Wuya. And Dashi's dead. So ask Wuya."
"Whatever. Then Shen Gong Wu is in Chicago. Let's get the hover car and go."
Okay. That is where Jack was. I couldn't think of what else to say, so I ended the section. So the next portion of the story is about Raimundo, Kimiko, and Wuya.
Raimundo woke up to find that his wounds had been healed. Wuya was meditating, hovering about a foot off the ground. He was laying on a mat. Kimiko was laying near him, still unconscious. Raimundo tried to stand up, but felt very weak and sank back to the ground.
"Excellent. You are awake." said Wuya. "I am glad you have come to your senses and returned. However, I would like to know why you brought your friend."
"I don't know how she got here. I just waited for a while a mile from the Temple until I could think clearly. Then she followed me, and probably went through the portal after me."
"We can worry about that later." said Wuya. "A new Shen Gong Wu has revealed itself. The Orb of Elements. It is somewhere in the area that is now Chicago."
"Let's go." said Rai. "We can just leave Kimiko here." Wuya waved her hand and several rings surrounded Kimiko, preventing any movement. Raimundo then used the claws to head to Chicago.
