A/N: Okay, here comes some weirdness. The third name onwards is not the same person, if that makes sense. It's just a descendant. Same as Mandy.

"Okay, where am I?" Reimundo looked around at the purplish walls around him, not unlike the tunnel of the Golden Tiger Claws. He kicked one of them. Nothing happened. Then the box rocked, turned upside-down and he fell out of the small universe onto the floor of Jack Spicer's 'Evil Lair'. There was a red-headed girl watching him. "Uh... Hello?"

"You don't look like a demon bent on causing Havoc and Destruction!"

"Am I supposed to?" He got up off of the floor, confused. First he was being tortured by Wuya, now this girl thought that he was a demon. And where was that purple place? He saw the Chinese puzzle-box and Serpent's Tail on the bench. "Where'd you get those?"

"Online Auction. So if you're not a demon, why were you trapped in the puzzle-box? Who are you? Where are you from? What are your evil powers? Do you want to help me take over the world?" With each question she moved her face closer to his, until she was staring into his eyes.

"Uh... No idea, Reimundo, The Temple, depends and huh?" He shrank away from her as he spoke. "Who are you?"

She put her hands on her hips, daring him to challenge. "Mandy Spicer, Girl Genius!" The black cloak around her shoulders blew out in a non-existent breeze, revealing the blood-coloured corset-top that showed off her midriff and dark grey trousers that flared at the knee. She wore two black bands around one leg (think Ruki from Tamers), a black studded belt and a Pentagram pendant on a black cord around her neck, complementing the streak in her short red hair.

"Oooookaaaaay..." He raised an eyebrow because of her attempt at theatrics. She did look familiar though. "Is that... any relation to Jack Spicer?

She fumed "You mean the stupid genius ancestor of mine that doomed our family to serving the Empress Wuya, Ten Thousand years ago? The one that... Ugh, I'm not talking about him. I'm going to avenge my family's name by defeating her and taking over the world!"

"Great. Wait, did you say Empress Wuya?" He double-took. "What happened? Where my- the Xiaolin Dragons?

"Jeez, where've you been for the past Ten Thousand years? In a box?" she asked, wandering round the table. Her hand rested near his portal from the past, the Chinese puzzle. His eyes followed.

"Yeah"

"Fine then, but as to what happened... No one's really sure, it happened so long ago... The Empress is the only living witness." Suddenly Reimundo went pale, and started to shake. "Huh? Reimundo? What's wrong?"

"I think that there's a Shen Gong Wu activating... The Golden Tiger Claws..." He staggered, Mandy rushed to his side, stopping because of his ghostly form. "How..."

"Interesting. The ancient texts say that in her ghostly form Wuya could sense an activating Shen Gong Wu, but she couldn't in her human form... Maybe it's a side-effect of being trapped in the Chinese Puzzle-Box?"

"Who cares why, we'd just better find it." Mandy nodded, following him to the door. She paused by the table, picked up the Serpents Tail, passing it through Reimundo's hand. He became solid, the item merging into his arm as green scales. He wasn't sure what was happening, but he was going to find out. And Mandy was against Wuya, so she must be the good guy, right?

"There they are! The Golden Tiger Claws!" The short Heylin Monk in green and black jumped up and down in excitement.

"We can see them Omi, and I'm on it."

"Careful Kimiko, that there ledge don' look might stable." There is the sound of a crash, the two boys flinch as the Japanese girl falls into a pile of rubble. She blew a stray hair from her face and fumed at them.

"Thanks for the warning."

Suddenly, more of the roof falls in and Reimundo lands near where Kimiko landed. He jumped up to the Claws, using his Wind-power to almost fly. Kimiko jumps up also, yelling the name of her Dragon Element to gain strength as she ran. There was no way that some stranger was going to take one of their Shen Gong Wu! Reimundo saw her following, but didn't recognise her as the descendant of his former best friend. The two reached the claw at the same time...

To Be Continued.
