Thanks to EZ for the last two reviews… Maybe I should slow down with the updating. I have an idea for another fic, which is a XS crossover… but what with? It'll be up by the end of the day… Should be good though.

Hopefully. I just noticed, the last thing I write for each chapter is the chapter name itself… makes sense, I guess.


Chapter Four – Poker Showdown

Jack Spicer's mansion was huge. Usually, when you burst out of somewhere in tears, you get out in about five seconds. Kimiko ran around the corridors for about four minutes before she realised that she'd forgotten the way in. When they were with Dojo, he'd just dropped in through the ground outside. She stopped to get her bearings.

"How am I going to find him? All I've got is this useless mirror and now I'm lost in a mansion…"

Tears were streaming down her cheeks. She wiped them away, and began walking at a normal speed. Any other Shen Gong Wu would have been more useful. Then she remembered something.

This was Jack Spicer's mansion. He had quite a few Shen Gong Wu.

"Am I really going to lower myself to Jack's level?" she asked herself, grinning for the first time that day. Then the moment of happiness vanished. Jack Spicer, although a doofus, probably had the sense to lock them away in a top-secret vault. Just when she started to think about Raimundo again, she tripped over something.

"Ow…" she groaned out loud, concentration broken. Turning round, she found what she had tripped over. The Longi Kite was laying there, out in the open.

"Some genius…"

She grabbed it. It was too lucky to get one of the Shen Gong Wu that would actually help her. Still…

"Longi Kite!" she yelled, as the wings sprouted. With that, she flew up out of the window above her.


"Got any threes Jack Spicer?" Omi asked.

"Wrong game chrome dome" Jack reminded. Omi frowned.

Despite the fact Wuya kept moaning and hissing in the background, it was actually a friendly game of poker.

"I hope Kimiko's ok…" Omi sighed.

"She's probably still in the mansion somewhere" Jack laughed. It wasn't like him to be this helpful. Clay got the impression he was up to something. He stared at the goggled genius…

"Hold on one cotton picking second! Since when did you actually wear your goggles?" Clay asked, Omi jumped up and kicked them off Jack's face. He was wearing the Falcon's eye.

"Aha! Rotten trickster!" Omi accused, pointing sternly at him. "I'll take that"

While Omi was wiping it with his robe, Jack was about to snatch it back, but Clay stopped him.

"Jack, do you really want to start a Xiaolin Showdown over this?" he asked sternly. Jack shrugged.

"Got nothing better to do" he muttered, grabbing it. Omi wasn't letting go.

"Jack Spicer! I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My Fist of Tebigong against your Serpent's Tail!" he challenged.

"The game is Poker. First to win twice gets the Falcon's Eye" Jack agreed.

"Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!"


Kimiko looked over her shoulder at the mansion behind her. There was an eerie glow emitting from the windows.

"They've started a Xiaolin Showdown!" she gasped, preparing to turn back, but thinking twice.

It was her duty to be there, giving support. But finding Raimundo was important too. She continued flying.


The poker game was heating up, one win each. The two opponents were locked eye to eye.

"Give up Omi. You can't beat me!" Jack boasted.

"You only won last time because you keep sending Wuya to look at my cards, you rotten trickster," Omi reminded, swatting Wuya back over to Jack's side. Jack leaned on the table.

"Wah, wah, wah. You're just a sore loser, aren't you?"

Now he'd done it.

"Fist of Tebigong!" Omi yelled, hitting Jack hard in the face, sending him backwards off his stool and onto the floor, moaning. Omi took a quick peak at his cards, and then grinned.

"Flush of Royals! I win!" he declared, grabbing the Serpent's Tail and Falcon's Eye from the middle of the table.

"N-no fair…" Jack groaned from the floor. "I demand a rematch!"

"Jack, don't go betting away all our Shen Gong Wu, you stupid boy", Wuya warned, shaking a ghostly fist.

"No sweat, we'll have just one more game"

"Which Shen Gong Wu will you wager?" Omi asked.

"The Longi Kite alright with you guys?" Jack asked, "I never use it anyway. Jackbots, retrieve the Longi Kite!"

A robot flew out of the room. Omi and Clay were confused.

"Why don't you keep it with the rest of your Wu?" Clay asked. Jack shrugged.

"Three reasons. One, it stops it getting stolen when you guys break in! Two, Megan was playing with it last time she came over. Three, it's none of your business!"

The robot returned.

"Longi Kite not present in mansion" it reported.

"You…" Jack accused, pointing at the two of them, "You came here to steal all my Shen Gong Wu didn't you?"

"Kimiko must have taken it" Omi sighed.

"First the Reversing Mirror, now the Longi Kite? Kimiko could be going bad. I'll get started on her theme music!" Jack laughed.

"Well, at least we're not stupid enough to hide our Shen Gong Wu out in the open" Clay pointed out.

"Relax, all my Shen Gong Wu are safe in the mansion. Well, there was the Lunar Locket… I hid that outside."

Wuya slapped herself on the forehead.


Kimiko dropped to the ground. The Lunar Locket was sat there, resting on a flat rock. She grabbed it, but so did someone else.

"Kimiko! I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"
