Chapter 5: The Final Showdown
"So… what exactly is the plan?" Jack asked.
"Use the Emperor Scorpion to control all Shen Gong Wu, thus allowing me to take over the world!" Diego shouted. "Didn't you get that the first time?"
"He's slow," Shego interrupted. Jack gave her a nasty look, and she responded by lighting her hands on fire. Jack looked away immediately and started whistling. Diego just shook his head and led the way to the Shaolin Temple.
Meanwhile, in Nakasumi Toys, the heroes were having a meeting.
"What was that, Wade?" Kim asked. Wade had reappeared on the screen of the Wade Bot, and he began to type frantically.
"Some kind of virus was released into the virtual world right before it crashed," Wade answered. His eyes grew wide. "And apparently, there was a massive data transfer from the recycle bin."
"That means the bad guys must have found a way to escape!" Kimiko said. "Any idea where they went?"
"Tracking the signal now…" Everyone waited anxiously as Wade typed. "Got it! They came out somewhere in China near a large white house."
"I'm bettin' that that's Jack's house!" Clay said. "We gotta stop them before they get to the temple!"
"Uh… I'm lost," Ron said. "Where are we going, exactly?" Suddenly, he realized something was missing. He looked around the room. "Where's Rufus?"
"This is it! The Shaolin temple," Jack exclaimed. "How exactly are we gonna get into the vault?"
"Leave that to me," Diego said in a menacing voice. He led the other two into a place that looked like a meditation chamber. Diego's hand was surrounded by darkness, and he slammed it into the ground. A gigantic hole was blown open, revealing the Shen Gong Wu vault.
"Awesome!" Jack shouted. He started to jump in, but Diego caught him.
"Sorry, but I'm going in first." He dropped Jack on the floor and jumped into the vault. After a minute of searching, he let out an evil laugh to top all evil laughs.
"I've got it! Now, it's time for me to control all Shen Gong Wu! Emperor Scorpion!"
Diego attached the Wu to his wrist, and suddenly all the drawers in the vault opened. Shen Gong Wu floated out of the vault and around the ceiling. Jack stared in amazement, and he jumped for one of the Wu. Shego grabbed the back of his jacket and pulled him to the ground.
"Ouch! Hey, why'd ya do that?" Jack whined.
"Because you'd probably just get in the way of world domination," Shego answered. "Got a problem with it?"
"Yeah!" Jack shouted. He paused for a second. "I'm going back to my house!" he declared. He stormed out of the temple with smoke coming out of his ears.
"Baby!" Shego called after him.
"Forget about him, Shego. Once I control all the Shen Gong Wu, he won't be able to do anything to stop me," Diego said. A black aura surrounded the Emperor Scorpion.
Back at Nakasumi Toys…
"I think we all know what we've gotta do," Kim said. "Omi, we need to use the tiger claws to stop Diego!"
"Right! Golden Tiger Claws!" Omi shouted. Before he could open a portal, the claws flew off of his hand! "Um… that's not supposed to do that." The Golden Tiger Claws ripped a portal open by themselves and went through it. As everybody stared at the strange sight, all of the Shen Gong Wu that the monks had were pulled into the portal!
"Whoah… what just happened?" Kim asked.
"I'll tell ya what just happened… we were Wu-napped!" Raimundo shouted. "That blue guy must have found the Emperor Scorpion!"
"We've gotta get to the temple and stop them!" Kimiko shouted. "Dojo, can you… hey, where's Dojo?"
"Ah man! First Rufus and now the flying dragon! What's going on here?" Ron shouted.
"Calm down, my friend. We still have this…" Omi pulled the Silver Manta Ray out of his robe.
"Um, dude, isn't that a Shen Gong Wu? I thought they were all taken just now."
"True, but whoever was using the Emperor Scorpion must have forgotten about this one. Fortunately for us… now we can get to the temple!"
Mr. Nakasumi and Ms. Kyoko were left behind while Kim and the others flew away in a giant manta ray.
Shego sighed. "Are you done yet?" she asked Diego.
"Be patient. I want to have all of the Shen Gong Wu, which means I'll have to locate the rest of them." At that moment, a portal opened above them, and all of the Wu that had been taken from the monks fell out of it. "There now… I only need the Wu from Jack's house, the Eagle Scope, and then the final piece of the puzzle… the Jow-Gem." Diego let out a chuckle.
"What? I thought the gem was destroyed!" Shego protested.
"The Emperor Scorpion has total control over Shen Gong Wu… even broken ones. In theory, it should be able to repair Shen Gong Wu as well," Diego said.
"Uh-huh, yeah, in theory," Shego said, with emphasis on "theory".
"It WILL work," Diego said. "Just you wait…" The Golden Tiger Claws went off on their own to get the remaining Shen Gong Wu.
"Surely Jack must have something in here that I can use," Pandabubba muttered to himself. He was digging through a pile of mechanical parts in Jack's lab when the door opened.
"Who's there?" Jack shouted, with a tinge of fear in his voice. Pandabubba raised his hands in the air.
"It is me, Pandabubba," he said. "This isn't what it looks like-"
"Yeah, right! You're trying to steal my stuff so you can make your own robot army!" Jack accused. Pandabubba stared at him.
"Not quite, although I was looking for a giant robot with which to smash the Shaolin warriors," Pandabubba replied.
"Oh… well… that's okay, I guess." Jack walked farther into the lab and picked up a spare helipack that was lying near the door.
"How many of those do you need?" Pandabubba asked. Jack ignored the question and walked to the back of the room.
"Here we go… my ultimate Jack-Bot!" Pandabubba looked up and saw a giant robot with a head that looked like Jack's. "So, what do you think?" Jack asked Pandabubba.
"It's exactly what we need," Pandabubba said with an evil grin.
"What do you think you are doing? You've missed two more Shen Gong Wu!" Wuya screamed. Chase Young just ignored the spirit.
"I do not need either of them, therefore I don't have to get them," Young replied. At that moment, a portal opened in the room, and the Eagle Scope was sucked in!
"Noooo!" Wuya shouted. She followed it through the portal right before it closed. Chase Young sighed.
"She'll be back," he thought to himself.
At the same time, a portal opened above the jewelry store in Tokyo. The pieces of the Jow-Gem pulled themselves together and floated towards the portal. Rufus and Dojo watched.
"That can't be good. Wu don't just start floating by themselves," Dojo said. Rufus squeaked and nodded in agreement. "We've gotta make sure everything's all right," Dojo declared. Rufus squeaked. "Er… I don't speak naked mole rat," Dojo told Rufus. Rufus grumbled something about dragons, and then he jumped after the Jow-Gem. "Hey, wait for me!" Dojo called. He slithered after Rufus and jumped into the portal before it closed.
"Behold, Shego! My plan is coming together!" Diego shouted. "I will use the Jow-Gem to fuse all of the Shen Gong Wu into one ultimate weapon! Bwahahahahahaha!"
Wuya floated up to Diego. "I should've known you were behind this," she said. "You were always about the Shen Gong Wu. At least I have my own powers."
Diego glared at her. "Be quiet, Wuya. You're in no position to talk to me like that. I'm moments away from ruling the world, and you're just a spirit who couldn't defeat a bunch of kids!" This made Wuya shut up.
Finally, all of the Shen Gong Wu were in Diego's reach. "JOW-GEM!" he shouted. A blue light covered the entire area, sucking all of the Shen Gong Wu into the gem except for the Emperor Scorpion. The Jow-Gem floated into Diego's hand, and with another flash of blue light, a suit made of Shen Gong Wu encased Diego's body. At that moment, Jack and Pandabubba arrived in the giant robot.
"Dude… what did he do?" Jack wondered.
"I have achieved ultimate power!" Diego answered. "Eye of Dashi!" A gem on his chest unleashed a bolt of lightning at the robot. Jack and Pandabubba were completely fried, and the machine fell apart.
"Ow," Jack muttered before falling on his back, unconscious.
"Nobody can stop me now!" Diego shouted.
"Wrong!" cried Omi. He jumped out of the cockpit and aimed himself at Diego. Apparently Diego had seen the attack coming, because he stepped out of the way and let Omi hit the ground.
"I saw that coming," Diego said. "I now have the power of the Crystal Glasses!"
"I forgot about those," Omi complained, rubbing his head.
"Omi! You're alive!" Dojo shouted. He slithered over and hugged his bald-headed friend.
"Dojo! Where were you?"
"Long story. Right now we have Diego to deal with," Dojo answered. The other three monks jumped out of the manta ray and charged at Diego. Rufus ran to Ron.
"Rufus, buddy! You had me worried!" Ron said. Rufus squeaked affectionately.
"Come on, Ron, let's help them out," Kim said.
"On it KP." Ron followed Kim into the battle. Shego just sat and watched… Diego seemed to have it covered. He could predict when and where the enemy would be, and he had all sorts of attacks he could use.
"Face it… you people can't stop me! Sword of the Storm!" Diego shouted. A tornado appeared on the battlefield. It moved around, throwing all of the good guys into the air. The tornado stopped when Wuya's eyes started to glow.
"Ah, I am sensing a new Shen Gong Wu!" she cried out. Dojo was shaking so much that he was bouncing around the area.
"The Dice of Dashi," Diego said, looking into the future to see what Wuya would say. "Those will make a nice addition to my collection of Wu. Emperor Scorpion!" Diego raised his arm, and the Dice of Dashi fell from the sky.
"We can't let him get another Shen Gong Wu! Someone grab the dice!" Dojo shouted. Kim and Ron jumped at the opportunity, and soon all three of them were holding the Dice of Dashi.
"What? How did you do that?" Diego asked.
"I can do anything," Kim answered.
"Yeah, and I'm her sidekick, which means… um… actually, that means nothing…"
"I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" Kim shouted.
"Gah! How did you… never mind. So, what's the challenge?" Diego asked.
Kim noticed the Shaolin temple nearby. "The first person to find the dice inside the temple wins. Oh, and there's one more thing… you have to give Drakken control of his body."
"Alright, KP!" Ron said. He paused for a second. "What're we doing again?"
"What? If I do that, there's no way I can win!" Diego whined. "Will he still have my powers?"
"If you mean the freaky suit of armor, then yes," Kim answered. Ron stared at her.
"Um, KP… that's how he's beating us! We can't let him have the armor."
"Don't worry, Ron. Drakken won't be smart enough to know how to use it."
"Oh yeah, good point."
Diego sighed. "Fine, I accept these cruel and unusual conditions. What are you two going to wager?"
"Wager?" Ron asked.
"We still have the Silver Manta Ray," Kim answered. "We'll wager that against your Emperor Scorpion." The Silver Manta Ray shrank down to normal size and flew into Kim's hands.
"How come you know all about these showdown thingies?" Ron asked.
"Because I paid attention when Master Fung was explaining them," Kim answered.
"Enough chat," Diego said. "Let's get this started already. Xiaolin Showdown!"
Suddenly, the Shaolin temple grew into a huge grey fortress. A giant stone wall rose from the ground, surrounding the temple and preventing anybody from leaving. The Dice of Dashi floated through the front door and became lost in the many corridors of the Shaolin temple.
"Gong Yi Tan Pi!" Kim and Diego shouted. Suddenly, Drakken's eyes and skin color returned to normal. "Huh? Where am I?" he asked.
"Ron, hold on to this," Kim said as she tossed the Silver Manta Ray at him. Kim and Drakken ran into the building, leaving Ron with a blank stare on his face.
"Um… I think you might wanna get in the game, partner," Clay told Ron.
"Um… right! Silver Manta Ray!" Ron shouted. Clay slapped his forehead. Ron threw the manta ray to the ground and watched as it became huge. Then, he jumped in and crashed into the wall of the temple. "Stupid thing… it's not doing what I want it to!" Ron complained. He was messing with all of the controls, and accidentally fired missiles at the wall. Surprisingly, nothing happened. "Cool… indestructible building," Ron thought.
Inside the temple, Drakken was just realizing the full potential of his armor. He had figured out how to use the Jetbootsu and the Eye of Dashi. Still, Kim was way ahead of him.
"Gah… I will get you, Kim Possible!" he shouted. He fired lightning blasts at Kim as she ran up the stairs. He was paying more attention to the blasting and less attention to his surroundings… causing him to go right through a wall. "Hey… that didn't hurt!" he realized. He found himself floating through the walls effortlessly. "This must be another effect of the armor! Badical!"
Outside, Ron was just figuring out how to make the manta ray go up. He was trying to get to the top of the temple because he figured that's where the dice would be. Down below, the Shaolin warriors watched him trying to keep the machine steady. "Rufus, do you have any idea how to work this thing?" Ron asked. The naked mole rat jumped out of Ron's pocket and commandeered the controls, flying the plane effortlessly. "Showoff," Ron muttered.
Kim was running down a hallway searching for the dice. All she saw were bridges, staircases, and walls. She was about to run across a bridge in the middle of the tower when the stone crumbled underneath her! She got out her hair-dryer just in time to save herself from falling on some sharp spikes at the bottom of the pit. She looked up and saw Drakken floating at the highest point of the tower.
"Be seeing you, Possible," he said. He fired another lightning blast, but Kim pulled herself into the corridor and the blast opened a hole in the ground.
"How big is this place?" Kim asked herself.
Rufus piloted the manta ray past an open window. "Hey Rufus, stop here. I've had enough of this. Let's just use the stairs." Rufus jumped back in Ron's pocket. Ron was about to jump out of the manta ray when Drakken appeared in front of him!
"The buffoon? This will be too easy!" Drakken cried. Before he could fire a lightning blast, Ron pushed the button he had used earlier. Two missiles detached from the bottom of the manta ray and flew towards Drakken. There was a huge explosion, and when the smoke cleared… Drakken was still there. "Oooooo! This armor is good!" Drakken exclaimed. He looked around for Ron, but he had disappeared along with the Silver Manta Ray.
"That should've taken care of him, but just in case it worked as a distraction," Ron told Rufus. Rufus nodded. Ron was running up another flight of stairs. "Hey look! The dice!"
"Buffoon!" Drakken shouted from the bottom of the stairs. There was a flash of lightning, and Drakken was in front of Ron! "Oh, this works," Drakken said.
"Rufus! Distraction!" Ron shouted. Rufus jumped into Drakken's face… the only part of his body that wasn't covered by armor!
"Gah! Stupid weasel thing!" Drakken shouted. By the time he had gotten Rufus off his face, Ron had jumped for the dice. He wasn't nearly close to the dice. "Haha! You think you got game, buffoon! You ain't got game!"
"But I do!" Kim shouted from behind him. She aimed her lipstick at Drakken and covered him with Wade's elastic constricting agent. "Ron, now!"
Ron grabbed the dice, and in a flash of light, the temple reverted back to normal.
"You did it!" Omi cried out.
"Yes… yes I did," Ron said, more to himself than to Omi.
"Looks like your plan is foiled," Kim said to Diego. She placed the Emperor Scorpion on her wrist and activated it.
"Noooooooooooooo!" Diego shouted. His armor exploded into all of the Shen Gong Wu that had made it up.
"Booyah! We won!" Ron shouted. He looked at the dice that were still in his hand. "So… what do the Dice of Dashi do, anyway? Do you just roll them?"
"NO!" shouted the monks, but it was too late. Ron had released the dice on the ground. The result was two ones. "Uh-oh. Snake eyes. That can't be good," Ron said. A dome of energy appeared around the dice, and it grew bigger until it had covered everything. Everybody was temporarily blinded.
When Kim could see again, all of the Shen Gong Wu were gone, and Drakken's skin had returned to normal. "Well, there's one thing we don't have to worry about," she said.
"What happened?" Drakken asked. Shego grabbed him and activated her jetpack.
"Later, princess," she called to Kim as they flew away. The monks ran into the Shen Gong Wu vault.
"Aha! So that's where all the Shen Gong Wu went!" Omi exclaimed.
"Not exactly. We're missing some," Raimundo corrected.
"I guess all of the Shen Gong Wu were returned to their owners," Kimiko said.
"That don't explain where the Dice of Dashi, Orb of Concealment, and the Jow-Gem went," Clay pointed out. At this point, Master Fung stepped out of the temple.
"Perhaps those Shen Gong Wu weren't meant to exist," he explained.
"Hey, where were you when we were having the showdown?" Ron asked Master Fung. Before he could answer, the Kimmunicator beeped.
"What's the sitch, Wade?" Kim asked.
"I saw the whole thing. Way to go, guys!" Wade congratulated.
"Your friends were most impressive in the showdown," Omi said, trying to get a view of Wade.
"Hey, little guy," Wade said to Omi. "Sorry, but Kim and Ron have a mission. Professor Dementor has created a doomsday device."
"Oh, great. He's starting to copy Drakken," Kim said. "We'll be right there. Do you have transportation for us?"
"We'd be glad to give you a ride," Kimiko offered.
"Never mind, Wade. We've got transport. Just beam us the location and we'll be there."
"You got it, Kim." Wade brought up a map on the Kimmunicator's screen with a red blip on it.
"Somebody need a ride?" Dojo asked. He grew to his full size. "Or do some people still have dragon issues?" Dojo got close to Ron and gave him a suspicious look.
"No… I'm good," said Ron nervously. Rufus hid in Ron's pocket. Kim and Ron jumped onto Dojo, waving goodbye as they flew into the sunset. The monks could hear Ron complaining in the distance. "Stop the undulating…"
Meanwhile, behind the temple, Jack and Pandabubba were crawling out from under the remains of the robot. Jack was coughing up soot.
"I blame you for this," Jack said. He then activated his helipack and flew off, leaving Pandabubba standing there.
"Why do people keep doing that?"
THE END… for now.
