Part 12:Enlightened

Raimundo was happy, after he beat his parents in the first Xiaolin Showdown that the Dragons had seen.

"I can't believe that it was the first Xiaolin Showdown that we'd seen and I got to do it!" said Raimundo.

"Quit your bragging! It's only a stupid Xiaolin Showdown!" replied Kimiko as her phone rang. "Hello Koko, Kimiko, No way. Yes way, Oh my God I can't believe you just said that! Yeh but...No but...Yeh but...OK!"

"Girls...always using their phones. I've never had one in my life, not a computer either. Not even an electric toothbrush." said Omi feeling glum.

"It's ok partner. Me neither. I don't understand 'em, they're to har to work." said Clay trying to make Omi feel better.

Kimiko, Clay and Omi were getting sick of Raimundo. All he talked about was the Showdown with his parents.

"Raimundo, give it a REST!" shouted Omi as Raimundo was laughing about the look on his parents faces.

The three walked away and went to their bedrooms leaving Raimundo to talk more about his Showdown.

"He's so annoying! I can't believe that he's being like this. It was two days ago and he should of got over it by now. There is no point is still talking about it!" said Kimiko as the three dropped on their beds.

There was one room but with four seperate bits where they slept.

"I know, If it was one of us, we'd of forgotten about it by now." replied Omi.

"It's old news." added Clay.

"Yeah, but it's still news. It's news that I', proud about!" he shouted as Clay and the others walked away.

Who's rattled their cages? Raimundo thought to himself. The others are so cranky. Perhaps Master Fung knows why. I'll aske him.

So he did. He walked to The Great Hall of the Temple where Master Fung was sitting.

"Hey, Master Fung. You got a minute?"

"Of course young Dragon, I have many minutes." he replied. "What is your problem?"

"Well, the other Dragons won't talk to me. The're in a mood with me and I don't know why."

"They are green Raimundo."

Raimundo had a blank face. Master Fung had confused him. "What?".

"They are jealous Raimundo. They are mad that you got to do the first Xiaolin Showdown. Perhaps if you don't keep mentioning it then they might be alright. If you don't they might get worse and hate you for eternity!"

Raimundo looked all sad. Master Fung smiled and broke out laughing. "I'm only jokeing Raimundo. You need to lighten up. Be enlightened Young Dragon."

He was going to be enlightened. What did this mean? He was even more confused. He didn't know what to think.

What did Master Fung mean by "BE ENLIGHTENED YOUNG DRAGON"? Did he mean you need to learn not to be so big headed? he thought to himself. He just thought even more. He didn't have a clue. Perhaps he ment, you just need to keep a low profile. Learn to keep things inside, like Kimiko, Omi, Clay and Dojo. Maybe, just maybe, if I stop talking about the Showdown with my parents, we'll get on again and there will be no sadness anymore!

He decided that he'd just keep a low on things for a while.

He went back to the sleeping quarters were the other Dragons were sitting talking.

"Hey, are you still mad at me?"

"Yes, but Rai, but you're a great friend. I forgive you." replied Kimiko.

They'd been friends again for a few hours when it was time to go to the Grand Hall.

It was night time and the only light was from the moon, the stars and the torches around the temple. All the dragons were in bed and Master Fung and his fellow monks were guarding the temple from evil.

There was nothing. It was suspicious night.

WuYa and Jack were back at there base where WuYa was planning evil things.

"Raimundo did the first Xiaolin Showdown in over 1500 years! He's got to be special."

"What, that big headed know-it-all from Brazil! He's not special, just annoying. He really gets on my last nerve!"

"BE QUIET! They all get on my last neve. I'm hanging on by a thread. A very thin thread that's about to snap. But I know that if I hang in, I will become human once more and the Earth will regret everything that Master Dashi did to me. Bye 1500 years of light. Hello 10,000 years of DARKNESS!" she replied evily.

Even Jack was scared.

Meanwhile back at the temple...

It was morning now and everything was calm. No aguements were building, everyone was friendly and happy. But this didn't last long.

The Shen-Gong-Wu scroll activated. A new Shen-Gong-Wu had been revealed.

"The Goblet of Enlightened Souls. It can help anybody be enlightened. They won't be so big-headed or mean." explained Master Fung.

Everyone turned round and looked at Raimundo who just looked back.

"Why are you all looking at me? You don't think I'm big-headed do you?"

Nobody answed. They just looked back at the scroll.

"Well, shall we go kids?" asked Dojo.

"Sure, we gotta get the Shen-Gong-Wu. C'mon Rai, we've gotta go. Hurry up!" replied Kimiko.

Raimundo sighed. Everyone thinks I'm big-headed. I'm not. I'll show them, I promised myself I'll keep a low profile. So, now is the time to put that promise into action. He thought to himself.

They soon left the temple. Raimundo wondered to himself if the new Shen-Gong-Wu could help him.

A few hours had passed and the Dragons had landed. It was a deserted land, where there was not a soul around.

They wondered around looking for life. But they couldn't finad any. Where was everybody.

A shiver went down Omi's Spine.

"I don't like this at all." he looked worried. "Not one little bit!"

They walked a little way, it was freezing cold. Dojo could smell the Shen-Gong-Wu, but was too cold to find it.

Then Clay saw something in the distance.It was shiny, it was a goblet.

"UH, THE GOBLET OF ENLIGHTENED SOULS!" he shouted running for it.

"Ha, would ya look at that? I can fly!".

It was Jack. He had grabbed the Shen-Gong-Wu and was floating in mid-air with WuYa by his side.

"Well done boy." cackled WuYa.

"Jack, get you back down here! I want that Shen-Gong-Wu!" he shouted.

"Come have a go if you've got the guts!"

So he did. Clay was as mad as a bull in the middle of an emty field. He was red in the face and ready to rip Jack to bits. He jumped into the air kicking him. The Goblet flew out of his hands. Raimundo tried to catch it but Kimiko launched herself to get it first.

She caught it. He face was victorious. She was proud of herself.

WuYa growled. Jack and WuYa walked and floated away, disapointed at their shot. But WuYa was planning evil things. Very evil things. Things that not even Master Dashi would have ever imagined.

"You won that fair and square. Well done for getting the Shen-Gong-Wu." said Raimundo.

"You've been enlightened! Yipi!" shouten a happy Omi.

They went back to the temple, knowing that tomorrow was another day. Another day in which WuYa could launch any evil plan.

Coming next time on Xiaolin Showdown...

The stun shocked her.

It was like WuYa was controlled by a tv control. She had been paused.
