Okay, TamerT here, here's the third chappie, the first Showdown in this fic. Everybody becomes confused, Rai included. Remember that the Heylin Dragons aren't used to competition...

"Who are you?" Reimundo asked the girl when they reached the Shen-Gong-Wu. She scowled at him.
"I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! Or I would, if you had any Shen-Gong-Wu, but you don't, so you automatically lo-"
"My Serpent's Tail against your Tangle-Web Comb?"
"But you can't have a- That's-"
"Unless you're betting a different Shen-Gong-Wu, hurry up and name your game, kid."
"Uh... Race to the Golden Tiger Claws?"
"Okay, I accept your challenge!"
The world changed. Reimundo and Kimiko were warped down to the bottom of the rubble-hill, which became taller and more dangerous, the Claws remaining at the top, glowing.
"Now what?" She asked. "No-one's ever accepted before..."
""Now we say, 'Gong-Yi-Tempai.' It means 'go'"
"Gong-Yi-Tempai!"
Reimundo de-activated the Serpent's Tail, becoming ghostly as the scales on his arm re-formed in his hand. Just as he began to move, the Tangle Web went through him, snapping back to capture their wielder. He flew up the mountain, through rocks that jutted out in his way, as his opponent struggled against her binding, falling flat on her face. Within seconds Reimundo had re-activated his Shen-Gong-Wu, the Serpent's Tail becoming scales on his arm once again, but this time stretching further, up to his shoulder. He reached out, and the Showdown was over.
"What just happened?" She asked, still trying to free herself. Her team-mates attempted to free her.
Reimundo took the comb that he had just won and released her from the Tangled Web. "You need to find your focus" He grinned.
"Oh do I?" she asked sarcastically, standing up and brushing herself off. "So who are you, coming in here and talking like Master Shui?"
"Master Shui?"
"I asked you first!"
"Okay, okay... The name's Reimundo. Who are-?"
"Why do you want our Shen-" But he put a finger to her lips, stopping her mid-sentence.
"First, who are you?"
She fumed at him before giving in. "I'm Kimiko, he's Omi, that's Clay." Shock was apparent on his face as he took in the fact that these strangers had the same names as his former friends. "Now give back our Shen-Gong-Wu!"
"Hey, I won them in the Showdown!"
"Must have cheated"
The smallest Heylin Dragon stepped forward. "And anyway, all Shen-Gong-Wu recovered must be given to the Empress Wuya!"
"You're kidding me, right?"
"No, I am not 'kidding you'. To go against the crown is heresy."
"But... You're the Xiaolin Dragons, right? How can you be on her side? She isn't the good guy."
"Kid, stop being stupid. First, it's the Heylin Dragons. Second, she's been there for as long as anyone can remember. How could she not be the good guy?"
"She just... isn't. An' I remember her being all ghosty and evil."
"Did you spend the last Ten Thousand years in a box?"
"Uh, yeah, actually." Kimiko didn't have an answer to that, and the conversation ground to a halt. Reimundo turned away. "Um... Okay then, see ya round..."
"But-"

BTW, If you want pairings, tell me. I'm flexible.
Also, thanks for the reviews!
