A/N: Okay, final chapter of the story! I know it's sad, but I'm sure happy to end it right now, because it's a lot of hard work! Anyway, in the last chapter, Omi finally realized that Ryan didn't backstab him... it was Jack's plan all along! They also battled the Crimson Gladiator, ultimately killing him! Now let's see what will happen in the final chapter!

"Congrats, my young ones," Master Fung said. "You did well! But, mostly, congrats to Ryan and Omi for coming to your senses and working together to defeat the Crimson Gladiator."

"Thanks, Master Fung. Ryan, I am most sorry again. I never knew it was Jack Spicer all along, but you help me by giving me proof that Jack Spicer was the real criminal. I will bet that he was also the one who gave Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay the gifts to complete his most aweful plan," said Omi.

"Yeah, he did all of those things to frame me, but now, I'm just glad everything backfired for him, and the Crimson Gladiator is destroyed," Ryan said.

Ryan and Omi shook hands.

"We're glad you guys are friends for good," said Kimiko.

"Thanks, Kimiko," Ryan said.

"Wait! I just remembered," Raimundo said. "What about those cool super-power upgrades!"

"Well, that's right," Master Fung said. "There is no upgrade."

"WHAT! But, you said if some of us work together, we'd get upgrades... well, Ryan and Omi worked together to defeat that Crimson Pain-In-The-Butt Gladiator, and they don't have anything!" Raimundo snapped.

"Young monks, I said that to get you monks stronger than before," Master Fung said. "You really didn't need super powers to overcome evil, you just had to believe in yourselves."

"What is he talking about?" Raimundo asked.

"I think what Master Fung is saying is that we don't needupgrades to overcome evil, we just needed confidence, believe in ourselves, and each other. It takes five monks to defeat the ultimate evil, and if we work together, nothing will stop us," said Ryan. "Omi and I defeated the Crimson Gladiator, because we believed in ourselves, and imagined that we did have upgrades, but the true super power is... well, friendship."

"I hear that!" Kimiko said.

"I sure did," Clay said.

"Well, I guess it's a bummer that we won't have upgrades, but I'm glad that I have best friends in the world," Raimundo said.

"I could not have said the same thing, myself," Omi said.

All of the five Xiaolin Warriors high fived each other.

"How long do you think he's in there?" Katnappe asked.

"I bet he's in there long enough to think about what he did, and how he failed me," a depressed Wuya said.

Just then, Jack opened the lab curtain.

"It has been done!" Jack said. "My latest work, I'm sure, will be better than last time!"

"Oh, really," Katnappe said in sarcasm. "That's really great, except the fact YOU STILL OWE ME CHORES!"

"You won't have to do that, because... well, ask... HIM!" Jack revealed a new evil being, stepping out of the shadow to reveal... an evil clone version of Ryan Rino.

"Why, it's a Ryan clone!" Katnappe said.

The had a light purple skin, and dark black Xiaolin clothes, just like Ryan. His eyes were glowing.

"I am at your command, my empress," the evil Ryan clone said.

"I stole a hair of Ryan and made a super clone! I bet he won't fail just like the Crimson Gladiator," Jack said.

"Can you do something better than Ryan?" Wuya asked.

The clone Ryan raised his arms. His hands started glowing purple, and a second later, the evil Ryan clone released a huge lightning bolt, colliding with Jack's laboratory. Just then, it created a huge explosion. Five minutes later, Jack's laboratory had huge holes, and his lab was nearly destroyed.

"Well, you really didn't have to destroy my lab, but that was IMPRESSIVE!" Jack said.

"You can call me Shadow Ryan," Shadow Ryan finally announced.

"I like it!" Wuya said.

"Soon, this Shadow Ryan will destroy not only Ryan, but also those Xiaolin Losers! Soon, victory will finally be ours!" Jack exclaimed. "And I will finally be pronounced as, 'Super Evil Genius!'"

Shadow Ryan, Katnappe, Wuya, and Jack laughed at the stormy night sky, while thunder rumbled loudly across the cloudy night skies, signifying a new era of terror.

"Jack, I hate to admit it, but YOU ROCK!" Katnappe yelled.

Jack stopped laughing, and frowned. "Please... don't."

A/N: Oh, no!A new evil has arrived, and it appears to be the evil clone of Ryan Rino! How will they survive? In the next story, we'll get TONS of action between the Xiaolin Warriors and Shadow Ryan, but you'll have to wait! Also, I don't mind to keep Ryan in the next few stories, but the question is... do you?

But, for now, this concludes "Thunder Strike!" Thank you for reading! Oh, and be sure you rate and review my story, without flames!
