A/N: Okay! I'm back, and ready for a brand new story. Okay, so the mystery of Omi's parents have been solved, but now, there's a new dragon in town... or at least I think he is... Oh, and I don't own Xiaolin Showdown, so please don't sue me. Also, this time, I'm going to write this story all italics, because it can take me forever to switch them from normal to italic at the same time. Here we go!
A mysterious figure walked in front of the Xiaolin Warriors, Master Fung, and Dojo.
"Hello, my friends," the voice said.
He walked into the light. He is 16 years old, he's as tall as Raimundo, he's skinny, he has blond hair, and he had blue eyes. He is wearing a red shirt with blue jeans, and he has three bracelets on his wrists.
"Who are you?" Kimiko asked.
"My name is Ryan Rino. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona. Oh, and I'm really not the new dragon. I once came here to train for my stamina, bravery, and impressive fighting skills."
"You mean... you were a Xiaolin Warrior before?" Omi asked.
"Yes," said Ryan. "I'm the Dragon of Lightning."
"Lighting?" asked Raimundo. "I think that's pretty cool!"
"Apparently, I came back so I can officially be a Xiaolin Apprentice," said Ryan.
Master Fung puts a Xiaolin Apprentice sash on Ryan's shoulder. Ryan smiled, but then frowned.
"The only problem is that I don't know which Shen-Gong-Wu can I posses with my element."
"I reckon you can try the Shard of Lightning," said Clay.
"Or, there is the Eye of Dashi," said Omi.
"Don't forget the other Shen-Gong-Wus," said Kimiko.
"I bet you would kick butt with the Golden Tiger Claws," said Raimundo.
Ryan nodded to the remarks, and the Xiaolin Warriors went down to the Shen-Gong-Wu vault. They took every Shen-Gong-Wu from the vault, and went to the training room. The 5 monks, now dressed in battle robes, looked at the Shen-Gong-Wus.
"Try this!" Omi exclaimed as he picked the Shard of Lightning and gave it to Ryan.
"Shard of Lightning, LIGHTNING!!!" He shouts. A powerful energy drew from the Shard of Lightning... but then stopped.
"WHAT?! What happened?" shouted Kimiko.
"Dojo, I bet you should get the rulebook now," said Clay.
Dojo picked up the rulebook, and flipped the pages.
"Ah, here it is," he said. "It says that whenever you shout out the Shen-Gong-Wu name, followed by your element, and if it any warrior shouts out 'Lightning' or everything else twice, the Shen-Gong-Wu will fail to activate."
"I'll have to try something else," Ryan said.
Everytime Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay gave him the Shen-Gong-Wu, they all failed to activate. The only thing Ryan didn't try was the Eye of Dashi.
"Okay," Omi grunted. "This is the last Shen-Gong-Wu. If it works, this will be your Shen-Gong-Wu for you element, but if it fails... we'll find a new Shen-Gong-Wu for you when we go for our Shen-Gong-Wu hunting." Omi gave Ryan the Eye of Dashi.
"Eye of Dashi, LIGHTNING!!!" Ryan shouted. He waited, but no avail. "I knew it. It didn't work. I guess we'll have to..."
However, before he can finish his sentence, a HUGE yellow lightning bolt emerged from the Eye of Dashi, destroying a stone wall. The Xiaolin Warriors stared, wide eyed.
"Well," Ryan chuckled. "I guess this is the Shen-Gong-Wu I need!"
The others nodded. It was training time. Everyone got in positions. They shooted the plates in the air with their Shen-Gong-Wus, powered by their elements. Omi saw the last plate flying, and fired his Orb of Tornami, but before he did, Ryan fired his Eye of Dashi, destroying the plate. The others cheered for him. Clay high-fived him, while Raimundo and Kimiko patted his shoulder.
"Huh?!" Omi said in disbelief. He knew that Ryan blocked his way to destroy the last plate, but he sighed in relief, as in it was no big deal.
During the next practice, Omi and Ryan clashed into a duel. In the final moment, when Omi thought he had Ryan in his clutches, Ryan got up as quick as lightning, and knocked him out of the ring with his Eye of Dashi, powered by his lightning. Kimiko, Clay, and Raimundo congratulated him, while Omi shook off the dirt.
In the final practice, it was a race. When Omi crossed the finish line, he thought he won, but he noticed Ryan was in front of him, for Ryan has won the race, because of his quickness thanks to his element. Raimundo, Clay, and Kimiko congratulated him again, but this time Omi got steamed and stormed back to the temple.

Wuya cackled really loudly in the night sky, and turned to Tubbimura.
"Now that you have released me, I'm proud to give you anything you..."
"Save it," said Tubbimura. "I didn't free you just so I can join you, I'm entering a 'box opening' contest, and so far, I've opened only one, and that was you."
"WHAT?!" shouted the ghost of Wuya. "How could you enter a contest that stupid?! There's no such thing as a box opening contest! Only an idiot would think that there is!"
"There is a box opening contest. See?" Tubbimura showed the flyer that said "Box Opening Contest. Winner will receive $1."
"How could you enter a contest that doesn't give you a lot of money?!"
"I need that dollar to buy anything I want. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a contest to win." Tubbimura ran off, leaving Wuya alone in the middle of no where, and in front of the destroyed palace.
"Idiot. Fine, I don't need him! I'll get someone else. Hmm.... perhaps a little help from a certain... friend... will do," Wuya said. Her eyes were glowing green, and she cackled evilly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack watched as Katnappe scrubbed the floor.
"The only thing that's worse than scrubbing the floor is you," snapped Katnappe.
"Get back to work. Leave it to the evil boy genious to rule the world," said Jack.
"You're really worse than Wuya!"
However, a mysterious flying creature came in front of them. The lights revealed Wuya.
"Speak of the devil," Katnappe whispered.
"Hello my friends," Wuya cackled.
"Friends?! We're not your friends! How many times do we have to trap you in the puzzlebox?!" Jack shouted.
"Oh, but you'll soon be friends with me..." Wuya said. Her eyes started to swirl. It seems that she was trying to hypnotize Jack and Katnappe.
Jack and Katnappe grunted, as they tried to block the awesome power by sheilding their eyes with their arms, but it was no use. Jack and Katnappe's eyes were glowing bright green.
Wuya then cackled evilly in the basement as lightning started to flash.

The Xiaolin Warriors were eating dinner.
"No way!" shouted Kimiko. "So you fight with snakes, you've taking your driving test and passed, and you have your own band? That is so great!"
Ryan smiled at the remark.
"No fair! Why does he have a band and I don't? Well, as cool as you or your band is, there still not as cool as I am," said Raimundo.
"Oh yeah? Well, does this help?"
Ryan touched Raimundo's shoulder with his finger. Lightning started to swirl all over Raimundo. Raimundo grunted, and tells Ryan to stop. Ryan stops, and Raimundo grunted again.
"Yowch! Okay, okay, you win," Raimundo groaned.
Ryan smirked.
"Tell us more about yourself," Clay said.
"Well, I currently have a job at a movie theatre...." Ryan continued.
Omi started to look at the wonderful necklace his mother gave to him.
"Kimiko," he said. "Do you think this looks good on me?"
"Oh, it's fine Omi," said Kimiko without looking at him. "Anyway, what else do you do?" she asked to Ryan.
Omi was completely shocked when Kimiko didn't pay attention to him.
"Clay," Omi said. "I think I noticed some cows in our area. Do you want to check?"
"Oh, not right now, partner," said Clay. He turned back to Ryan.
Omi was confused. Clay usually loves to see cows, he thought. Omi thought that something was wrong. He turns to Raimundo.
"Do you want to play soccer with me?"
Raimundo didn't answer. He continued to look at Ryan.
Omi grumbled, and finished his dinner. He washed the plate and went to his room.
"I don't understand," he said. "Why won't my friends play with me? Why are they busy with Ryan? This never happened in the past... what if they're trying to replace me, and make Ryan the leader? What if they forget all about me..."
Omi couldn't finish his sentence, and paused for a moment. He then looked at Kimiko, Clay, and Raimundo laughing with Ryan.
Omi watched as this happens.
The next morning, Omi was cheering as he apparently beat the final level of the video game he was playing.
"Kimiko, look! I beat the final level!" He shouted.
"Oh, that's nice Omi," she said without looking at him. She continued polishing her nails.
Omi looked confused, but then turned to Clay.
"Clay, I finished the game," Omi said.
"That's great, partner," he said without looking at him. He continued to do some lassos.
Omi grumbled, but then turned to Raimundo.
"Raimundo, I..."
"Not now, I'm busy," he said. He continued to practice kicking soccer balls.
"Hey, guys!" Ryan said.
The Xiaolin Dragons looked at him.
"Oh, Ryan, you look great today," Kimiko gasped. It seems that Ryan had his hair all spiked up.
"I'm reckon that I'm speechless," Clay said in amusement.
"Wow! This is definately your best hair so far," Raimundo said.
The 3 Xiaolin Dragons got up, and rushed at Ryan to look at his spiked hair in close up view.
"My Apprentices," said Master Fung. "It's time to play a game. In this game, we'll need four people to compete in the obsticle courses."
He pointed to the courses. Omi smiled and said, "Ooh, ooh, ooh! I love obsticle courses!"
"Calm down, Omi. Master Fung said that four people can compete only," said Dojo. "So one of you will have to be the alternative player in case someone gets hurt."
Omi calms down, as Master Fung thinks.
"Raimundo," he finally said. He pointed his finger at him, and Raimundo cheered. He ran right next to Master Fung.
"Kimiko."
"YES!" She shouted. She ran right next to Raimundo.
"Clay."
"Alright!" He shouted. He ran right next to Kimiko.
It all came down to Ryan and Omi.
"Aw, do not worry, my friend, I think being an alternative won't be that bad," said Omi. He took some steps. "I think..."
"Ryan," Master Fung said.
"Me? I got picked? All right!!!" He ran right next to Clay, as Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay high-fived him.
"Well, that's everyone," Master Fung said. They started to walk to the obsticle courses.
"What about me," Omi said, teary eyed.
"Huh?" Master Fung asked as the Dragons looked at him. "Oh, Omi. You can be the alternative." They continued to walk to the obsticle courses.
Omi felt sick. But I always played in the obsticle courses, he thought. Omi sat down on the steps, as he watched the other Xiaolin Warriors compete in the obsticle courses. He then looked to the ground.
"What if they forget all about me?" Omi asked to himself. He then looked to the sky. He wanted to get help from his parents, but then stopped. He knew it was no use.
A/N: Uh-oh! What will happen next? I know, it's a cliche to cause every people to get jealous, but that's the idea that I have in this story. Okay, Chapter 2 will be up soon. Read and Review, and please no flaming.
