A/N: Hey, I'm back, and ready for more! Okay, so last time, the Xiaolin Warriors received letters from their parents, but Omi didn't receive his letter. Could it be that he has no parents? Find out!
The next day, Omi explained his nightmare to his friends.
"Okay, so let me get this straight. You were having a dream in where you were in a dark forest, and then you heard voices. Then you saw your parents, but when you were almost there to hug them, they were engulfed into flames?" Raimundo asked.
"There's more than that, Raimundo! In fact, it was most painful for me! After my parents were engulfed into flames, a figure was standing there. It was none other than... Wuya, in the flesh!" Omi explained.
Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay gasped.
"What happened then, partner?" asked Clay.
"I tried to get the Orb of Tornami, but it was not in my pocket. It was revealed that Wuya had the Orb of Tornami. I tried to jump out of the way, but she froze me. And by the time she stabbed me with a sword... I woke up. But thank goodness it wasn't real, but still, I can't find my parents!"
Kimiko gasped. "That had to be the worst nightmare I ever heard. I don't mean in terrible, but in evil!"
Raimundo was losing his patience. "WHO CARES ABOUT THIS! I WANT TO GET STRONGER, OR WE MIGHT LOSE EVERY SHEN-GON-WU WE HAVE! WHO CARES ABOUT OMI'S LONG LOST PARENTS! LET THEM FIND THEMSELVES!"
Kimiko slaps Raimundo's face.
"Ow!" screeched Raimundo. "Why did you do that?"
"For being harsh on Omi and his parents! Don't you know how serious it is?! They might have died before he was born!"
Dojo breaks them up.
"Please! Let's not fight right now. We do know that Omi's parents aren't found yet, but fighting won't solve anything."
Raimundo and Kimiko nodded. Raimundo apologized to Omi, and they got into training. Again, at the end of the day, Omi was aweful, because he had his parents on his mind, which distracted his focus. The warriors were tired, so they went back to the Xiaolin Temple to get some dinner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile....
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?! YOU RELEASED WUYA FROM HER PUZZLEBOX, TRANSFORMED HER INTO HUMAN ONCE AGAIN, AND YOU PLAN TO RULE THE WORLD, ALONG WITH WUYA, BEFORE ME?!" shouts an angry Jack Spicer.
"You're not the boss of me, Jack!!" Ashley (Katnappe) shouts back.
"I am SO the boss of you! I was born one year before you! So do me a favor and give up!"
"I have no time for this! Good-bye, Jack Spicey-Pants!"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!
"I said Jack.... Spicey.... Pants!"
That really irked Jack as he hung the phone up like crazy. He then screams.
"Jack-Bots! GET OVER HERE!"
The Jack-Bots scurried to Jack.
"I have a plan! If Ashley thinks she can stop me, she's wrong!"
The phone rings. Jack picks it up.
"Hello?"
Katnappe screams, "JACK! YOU WILL REFER TO ME AS 'KATNAPPE! NOT 'ASHLEY!' 'KATNAPPE!!!'"
She hangs the phone up like mad. So does Jack.
"Fine! If Katnappe thinks she can stop me, she's wrong! Alright, like I said. I have a plan to stop her. Let's get to it!"
The Jack-Bots moved in closely to listen to Jack's plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night came, and the Xiaolin Warriors slept peacefully. Omi, however, tossed and turn, and suddenly, images were in his head again. He was starting to dream.
Omi was in the same location as last time. He heard the voices again, but this time, it was different from last time.
"Omi... Omi..."
The voices sounded like his friends were in danger. Omi looked around.
"Kimiko... Raimundo... Clay... where are you?"
Omi gulped, as the voices continued. Finally, when he turned to his left, he notices that his friends were turned into stone.
"NO!!! My friends! They have been turned into stone!"
The voices continued, but this time, it was his mother's voice. Followed by his father's voice. Omi looked at the right, and saw his parents right next to the stones.
"Omi! Thank goodness!"
"Mom! Dad!" Omi shouted. He ran to them, but just like last time, they were engulfed into flames. An evil figure stood into the flames, and after the smoke cleared... Wuya was standing there.
Omi screamed, but he was ready this time, because he had the Orb of Tornami with him.
"You won't destroy me this time! Orb of Tornami, ICE!!!" He shouted.
A zig-zag like energy beam came from the Orb of Tornami. Wuya, however blocked it, and it went right back to Omi.
Omi tried to back away, but it was too late. He was frozen solid once again. Wuya cackled, and her arm transformed into a saw. She reached to the top of the ice block, and it started to chop in half. As soon as it reached to the top of Omi's head...
"AAAAAAHHH!!!!!" Omi screamed as he jumped. He took deep breaths.
"Why is this happening to me? Why would I dream about anything like this?"
He took another breath, and got back to bed.
The next morning, Omi explained his dream to his friends yet again, but this time, Dojo was the first to speak.
"You know, kid. I think I know what you really need. A walk in the park."
"Are you sure it would make me forget about my parents?" asked Omi.
"No, but some fresh air will cool you down. Don't worry, I'll be with you whenever there's trouble."
So, Dojo jumped to Omi's shoulder, and got permission from his master to take a walk in the park.
The park was three miles from the Xiaolin Temple. As they finally got to the park, Omi saw a sign that read, "Parents Day." Omi sighed, but he knew that he had to take his parents off of his mind, so he continued to walk.
"You're doing a great job so far, Omi." Dojo exclaimed. However, he saw a female lizard walking to the sandbox. "Ooh, what do we have here? Omi, you're on your own, but don't worry. Make sure you have the Orb of Tornami with you at all times just in case something bad happens."
"WHAT?! All of this for a female lizard?"
But Dojo already followed to the female lizard. Omi took another deep breath. He started to walk. As he was continuing to walk, he noticed that one kid received ice cream from his mother and father. He gave them a hug. Omi then saw one kid crying, because she had a cut on her arm. Her mom kissed it, while her dad put bandage on her arm. The kid kissed them as in saying thank you. Omi then sniffled a little, but he kept going. He then noticed one kid on the swings getting pushes from his parents. He went higher and higher, and laughed as he got higher. Omi started to have a tear in his eye. It strolled down his face, and reached to the ground. Omi then noticed a kid with her parents enjoying a nice picnic lunch. Omi couldn't take this much longer, but it got worse for him when he saw a kid riding a bike with the help of his parents. Omi was starting to feel sick, as more tears strolled down his face. He noticed a lot of parents hugging and kissing the childs in ways of saying, "I love you."
Omi couldn't take this anymore, so he sat on the bench. He took another deep breath as tears continue to stroll down his face. Just then, a puppy was barking for help. It seems that it was lost. However, when the puppy saw Omi, he jumped on the bench, barking happily, and licking his face.
"Oh, my fellow canine comrade, I don't think your greeting will ever help cheer me up, because I'm really desperate in trying to find my parents. In fact, I don't think I'll ever find them."
The puppy whimpered. Just then, a mom and dad called for the puppy. They puppy barked happily, and ran towards a kid's mom and dad. Then, a kid happily jumped up and down as she hugged the little puppy. She thanked her parents by hugging them and saying, "You're the best parents ever."
Omi felt like destroying himself so he can join with his parents in heaven. Just then, as tears continue to stroll down his eyes, he heard a scream. It was the scream of Dojo, as he was sent flying to the bench next to Omi. Dojo quickly got back up, but he was hit by a rock, courtesy of the female lizard.
Dojo quickly recovered, and shouts, "Well, SAME TO YOU, YOU OVERGROWN GECKO!!!" He sees Omi, sitting there, tears continuing to stroll down his face.
"Hey, kid," Dojo said. "Tough day? Maybe a walk in the park was a bad idea."
Omi took another sigh. "Come on, Dojo. Let us go."
Omi stood up, and Dojo climbed on his shoulders. It was a long 3 mile trip back to the Xiaolin Temple.
Meanwhile...
"I made this myself," Clay said. "I reckon that I should stop doing lassos, and start cooking stuff that makes me all happy inside. Wanna try?" Clay held up a horribly designed, foul smelling steak he made. Kimiko and Raimundo looked at each other.
They both said, "Well............." Then they spoke to each other 12 inches from Clay.
"Guys?" Clay didn't look to concerned.
Raimundo and Kimiko both giggled nervousingly.
"I can't eat that thing! I'll hurl," Raimundo stated.
"I can get acid reflexes when I eat foul smelling food," added Kimiko.
"Okay, but who's going to try it?"
Just then, Master Fung came in.
"So, how are my Xiaolin Apprentices doing?"
Kimiko and Raimundo smiled, but in relief.
"Master Fung!" Kimiko smiled. She takes the foul smelling steak from Clay, and brings it to Master Fung. "Would you like to try this wonderful steak?"
Master Fung replied, "Well, I usually don't eat food right at this minute, but sure."
He grabs a fork, picks a piece of meat off of the steak and starts eating it.
Kimiko and Raimundo's eyes were wide open. Raimundo then dropped his jaw.
Clay, on the other hand, was pleased. "Wow! He likes it! He really likes it!"
Kimiko was a little concerned. "Hmm, so it seems."
However, Master Fung started to turn pale, and held his mouth and stomach.
He shouts, "Where is the bathroom?!"
Clay looks at Raimundo and Kimiko. He sighs. "I guess my steaks weren't as good as they used to be."
Just then...
"Hello, my friends," said a sad Omi as he entered the Xiaolin Temple.
"I wonder if a walk in the park worked?" asked Kimiko.
Omi sadly went to his room, tears continuing to stroll down his face.
"I'm guessing 'no.'" confirmed Raimundo.
Kimiko hated to see Omi's tears. She started to have tears in her eye, and it strolled down her face.
Omi, she thought, I know how you feel.
Master Fung came out of the bathroom, and spoke to Omi.
"I noticed that you had a rough day. Maybe dinner will make you feel a whole lot better."
"No, master," Omi said quietly. "I am really not hungry."
Omi continued to go to his room. When he got there, he lays his face on the pillow. There he continued to sob.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things weren't going to well for Jack Spicer as he continued to argue with Ashley... erm.... Katnappe.
"You can't argue with me, Jack! You're not the boss of me!"
Jack snorted. "Heh, I'm going to rule the world first, and there's no one you have that can stop me!"
"No, but I CAN!" exclaimed a familiar voice.
Jack turns and gasps.
Uh-Oh! Who can that be? Well, that ends Chapter 2. Will Omi ever find his parents? And how long will Katnappe and Jack argue with each other? Will Jack Spicer face his end when a familiar voice starts to chat with him? Find out in Chapter 3!
Rate and Review Chapter 2, and please, no flaming!
