"There cannot be another Dragon! There has not been in the time of my father, or my grandfather, or his grandfather, so why would that boy even think-"

"Omi?"

"What?"

"Stop talking."

"I am sorry, Kimiko, but-"

"Omi!"

"What?"

"What did I just say?"

"Y'know, in them old scrolls it says that there did use t'ae be four dragons, back in times before Wuya..."

"There were times before Wuya?"

"About Ten Thousand years ago... Back then, now was foretold as the-"

"Let's go look at the scrolls!"

"Yes Kimiko! Let's!" The two smallest monks ran off, Clay sighed, then followed.

"Hey, they wont come off!" Reimundo yelled, trying to pull the Golden Tiger Claws off of his left hand.

"Why not? What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!"

Mandy stopped yelling and folded her arms across her chest. "Maybe it's like what happened with the Serpents Tail, merged into your skin."

"Why would that happen?" Reimundo scratched at the lizard skin covering his other hand with the claws. Mandy shuddered at the flaking scales.

"Why would it not? I mean back in your time the ghostly Wuya became permanently solid by using the Reversing Mirror, while you were wearing the Golden Tiger Claws and using the Serpents Tail. It must have been a side-effect of the changeover."

"Maybe..."

((AN: This part is in script format because there isn't much movement, and with three people it could get confusing, 'k?))

Kimiko: Look! Here it is!

Omi: Where?

Kimiko: Here!

Omi: I cannot see! (jumps up and down, trying to read the scroll that Kimiko is holding up out of his reach) Please, read it to me!

Kimiko: Fine. 'While the Dragon of the Wind-'

Omi: So there is a Dragon of the Wind!

Kimiko: Yes Omi. 'While the Xiaolin Dragon of the Wind is imprisoned, the darkness of the Heylin Witch shall rule over all, poisoning the world until the last of her line witnesses her end, when the hidden light meets the darkness and the balance is restored'.

Omi: But what does that mean Kimiko?

Kimiko: I think it means that something big'll happen if Reimundo fights Wuya.

Omi: What big something?

Kimiko: How am I supposed to know? (throws down the scroll and picks up another) It's not like prophesies are ever specific.

Omi: Hmm... Wuya is a Heylin Witch, correct?

Kimiko: Yeah, but she's not 'dark'.

Omi: Good and Evil depend on your perspective. Perhaps it means that there will be a battle of several armies. Our Empress, she is the first. Then the person who wrote that scroll, he says-

Kimiko: What do you mean, he?

Omi: Females do not write scrolls.

Kimiko: (angry) Well this female is gunna give you a black eye if you don't drop-

Clay: Omi, Kimiko? Stop fightin' an' finish what you was sayin'

Omi: Thank you Clay. He (glares at Kimiko, who glares back) says that the Dragon of Wind is the good guy, and Wuya is Evil, so they are another side. And if this 'Dragon' has been trapped in a box for Ten Thousand years, how is he supposed to know which side to be on? That other girl must have poisoned his mind!"

Kimiko: I doubt it.

Omi: Why?

Kimiko: The scroll said 'Xiaolin' Dragon.

Omi: And?

Kimiko: That's what Reimundo said. Maybe we're the ones on the wrong side.

Clay: This is darn near makin' ma head hurt.

Omi: I know what you mean."

Kimiko: Wait 'till you see what this says. "The remaining three Xiaolin Dragons will live on, corrupted by the darkness and turned to the Heylin side, just as the glamour set by the Wind Dragon..."

Omi: Glamour?

Kimiko: An illusion.

Clay: That means he pretended to be evil or somethin'

Omi: I see. (realises) Oh...

"So, we have the Sword of the Sword, the Tangle Web Comb, the Serpents Tail, and..." Mandy looked despairingly at Reimundo's arm, where the ghostly form of their last Shen Gong Wu was still attached. The Serpents Tail removed itself when its power was deactivated, but this item was stuck, despite grease and becoming ghostly. "The Golden Tiger Claws."

"Don't forget the Puzzle-Box. We might need it to trap Wuya."

Mandy slammed her hands down on the table and glared across at him. "How many times do I have to tell you that that won't work?" She yelled.

"You haven't said it once yet!" He yelled back before straightening his hair again (though it was barely messed up). She went into the classic anime blush pose and grinned at him. "Oh, right, sorry. Well, in your past, you were trapped in the puzzle-box, and Ten Thousand years later you got out. Even further back Dashi trapped Wuya, and she got out." She thinks. "Even quicker than you did actually. Anyway, it's only a temporary solution."

"Great..."

"But then, it's not like we've got anything better." Mandy dropped her head and bit her lip, wearing away some of the dark lipstick. "If Grand Master Dashi couldn't defeat her properly, how will we?" Reimundo moved his arm to put it around her, but dropped it again.

"Cheer up girl... The box thing'll be Plan B, okay? We'll find a way to beat her!"

"You promise?" She looked sad for a moment more.

"I promise!" He grinned.

This guy better be able to beat her, else I'll have wasted my time with that stupid box, she thought, then smiled. At least he trusts me. That could be useful, even though he's a really stupid demon.

AN: You like? Hope ya do because there's another four in this arc! And to the person who told me "It's Raimundo, not Reimundo, blah blah blah," I don't think it matters that much, do you? (What matters is when people spell Rai Ria, how does that work?)

Thanks for the review that you're about to leave!
