Thanks for all of the reviews and CDFE88 for helping me with this Chapter so, Sudden monk is a fan fiction no reason to sue if you do my real name is Bill Gates. Oh yeah here is a warning this is a Sappy chapter with lots of mushy, sappy and just plain weird moments.
Chapter 6 Where art thou Shackle?
Now, over the last few days every night Shackle has been 'going out for air' and doesn't come back for sometime usually around midnight. Now, back to Nevets we all know that his friendships aren't going to well. "Hey Joe!" "Hey, thanks for the punch on the head Benedict Nevets," He said as he continued to mumble. "Um, Steven hi," I was just use to having muscles you just had to break my arm didn't you?" Steven said trying to get an itch on the inside of his cast. "Carl, Zick!" He yelled waving. "You're the first on my hit list," Zick said as Carl rolled his eyes at Nevets. "Shackle, man," "My name is Jason only my friends can call me by my nickname," Jason said shunning him. "Chuck," He said wearily his hand stretching out. "Uh, no," He said walking off. "Carlos my man!" Carlos grunted and went off to his room I swear it's a jungle in that room. "Bio?" "My name is Babes let me help you up," She said giving him a hand. "Hey, thanks why aren't you mad at me?" Nevets asked dusting himself off. "Well, if any of them had as good of vision as me they would've saw that you were wearing the Black coral band so actually technically we won that and to my conclusion you were using the Counter goblet and made Kyle who found Spirit got into the group, stole our wu, was suppose to steal there wu and win a showdown but Iname turned you evil with the wu," Babes said staring at a unbelieving face. "You got that from looking at my wrist?" "No, I got that from looking in your Journal," Babes said handing over his Journal.
That same time at the Heylin dungeon, "So you were working for them all along?" Harry asked Kyle. "Yeah, but I really did like you as a friend," Kyle answered. "But, I thought I found a real friend one that I could trust, one that wouldn't hurt me Bing hurts me the sticks and stones way, you hurt my spirit," Harry said starting to cry. "Its okay buddy lets play with the wu say the Black coral band and the Ruby Javelin," Kyle said patting Harry on the back. "Yeah, okay stuff like that always cheered me up I'll go get them," Harry said wiping his eyes.
Harry went off to the vault as he saw Iname talking to the Wuya statue. "Reyem Derf!" He said, "Now to change the password GUGGENHEIM!" He yelled at the statue. "Password accepted crazy one," The statue said back to him. "My grandfather is the crazy one, NOT ME!" He yelled back.
Xiaolin temple, Babes room, "So, is there anything else you do in your room?" Nevets asked. "Just a second I want to finish this talking on In vision free then I'll get off," She said rolling her eyes, "Why do you want to go on anyway?" "Kyle stole a virtual reality game of Charles that Harry stole about absolutely nothing!" Nevets said excited. "Right that really is important," Babes said rolling her eyes. "I saw that!" Then an ad popped up on the computer screen, ' do you live in the outskirts of China? Well, the fair is coming towards you!' "Hm, isn't that convenient a new wu just activated there the Emphasis emerald an emerald that when held, grants the user the power of feeling the emotions of anyone surrounding him or her," Master Chains said appearing behind them. So it was off to the fair.
Iname had a flat wrapped thing on his arms. He entered to Dan's room in the attic, "Daniel! Where are you?" asked the master. "Right here" he said in a low cold voice. He had dyed his hair green and was wearing his training clothes, the black and teal sleeveless tunic, black pants and black leather wristbands. "You must go get the new Shen Gong Wu, take this" then Iname tossed the package to Dan, "happy birthday". Dan unwrapped it to revealed the reversing mirror, the most mystical wu ever created.
At the fair all the Xiaolin's spread in little groups, if not individually to look for the wu. Bio and Chii entered the arcade, they played some games and started arguing "I can beat you in any game!" said Chii, "So not!" said Bio, "so do!" said Chii and then they saw the dance revolution machine, "I'll make you swallow your words!" then stepped on the platform, they were done with the three songs, there was a spark behind the machine they didn't saw, then the machine displayed: 50 FREE GAMES! "Right On!" said Chii. Steven and Carlos were in the bazaar, the place were they sold wicked antiques. While they were shopping, a guy with green hair passed against them rubbing their wallets in a very subtle and fast way, Carlos had chosen a cool black cloak and Steven an eerie green candle, they were trying to pay with their credit cards, but the machine wasn't working very well, so they started to try, each with 20 different credit cards. Nevets was feeling lonely, so he decided to go take a better look on the Ferris wheel, it was a cabin-like one with electric locks, while he was at the very top a shadowy figure produced a spark and the power on the wheel was out, Nevets was trapped in the Ferris wheel. "DARN IT!" he yelled. Joe had barely made the minimum height to ride the roller coaster with Shackle so they were let through, and when they were about to overcome a loop, being heads down, the coaster suddenly stopped. "Awww Man! What a bummer!"
The lights went out on the mirror house while Carl was in. "Static Dash!" Someone went past him at a great speed. "Tornado Fist!" Dan was easily blocking every hit the Philippine boy was aiming at him. Chii and Bio were about to finish their last game and they were tired as heck. Carlos and Steven Finally decided to pay with cash. Nevets, Shackle and Joe set themselves free from the rides, then all head people screaming and coming out of the Mirror House. "Lightning!" Bolts striking the place, shattered glass. "Wind!" "Goma shield!" Said Bio trying to trap the weird guy. "Reversing Mirror!" All the warriors but Carl were trapped inside. "Great!" Said Shackle. "One of your friends I suppose," said Joe "Give him a break!" said Bio. "Come on Carl!" Cheered Chuck and Carlos. "Skates of Feuer!" said Carl lunging towards Dan. "Reversing Mirror!" he was sent straight back, crashing against the mirror wall, which shattered revealing a green shard, which started to glow. "It's the Wu!" said Steven.
As Carl was about to grab it, "Static Dash!" Both hands were on the Empathy Emerald, "Carl, I challenge you to a Xiaolin showdown, my Reversing mirror versus your Skates of Feuer." "Fine the game is truth or lies, first one to lie 5 times loses," said Carl. "That's fine with me, let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!" The other dragons were freed, the mirrors repaired themselves and in the midst of the night they started to float, arranging them like steps of a stair, 5 for Dan and 5 for Carl. "Gong yi tempai!" Yelled both in unison. "I start," said Dan, "Have you ever broken your temple's rules?" "No," answered Carl. Then the mirror he was standing on began to crack, he quickly jumped to the next one. "My turn, do you have a secret no one knows about?" asked Carl, "No," said Dan, and then his mirror broke. "Do you consider yourself as a good person?" asked Dan. "Yes," Carl's second mirror broke. "Are you a hundred percent evil?" "Yes, I am," second mirror broke What's going on; I know I'm pure evil. "Do you completely trust the other dragons?" "Yes, I do," said Carl, third mirror broke. The other guys were disappointed at him. "Do you truly think you belong to Heylin?" "Yes," third mirror broke. "Are you always selfless?" "Yes, I am on the good side," fourth mirror broke. "Are you in total control of yourself?" "Yes," fourth mirror broke. "Do you consider your Xiaolin partners as your friends?" Carl struggled, since anyway they'd find the truth, he better get the wu, "No," said Carl in a sad voice, the mirror didn't break. All the dragons felt betrayed, not Nevets because he was already used to that. Carl gathered up strengths to make his final question, "Do you regret being Heylin?" "No," said Dan, with that, the last mirror broke. How could I've lost? I answered with the truth, what's wrong with me? The Dragons were back at the temple, and were now split three ways, Nevets, Carl and the others.
Back at the Heylin Temple Dan went to his room, picked up all of his stuff and silently left the building when he saw his parents in Iname's office. "Here's your payment, you've done good watching the kid," "Augh," said the woman, "Being a mother is not exactly my best performance," Paid actors! My whole life was just a simple mis-en-scène? Then he left in a journey of self-discovery, through out the Desert in the North of Mexico...
"Very well done," said master Chains, "And you've brought an extra two wu's, the Cloak of Duce, that grants the user the powers of a ghost, and the Eternal Wick, a candle whose light never wears out," Then Carl went to his room, everyone was mad at him, at last he knew how Nevets felt. Then through the sleet at the bottom of the door he saw a faint green light, everyone was asleep, but Carl discovered Shackle was missing. He then decided to take the cloak of Duce and followed the light; it was Shackle, now it's his chance to know what Shackle's been up to. He became invisible and then floated to see Shackle hidden on a tree, looking at something. Then he came closer and saw what Shackle was admiring, it was a girl, but not any girl, and it was Terra! The Heylin warrior! She was sitting on the roof of Heylin HQ contemplating the moon. I wish I could read Shackle's mind to see what the heck is he thinking thought Carl, and then he remembered that he had the Empathy Emerald on his pocket it was still glowing. Fair enough... "Empathy Emerald" he whispered. Then he felt something weird, he was in love with Terra. Aww terra... Then it came to him, what was that about, I got to go now. He went back to his room. That night he dreamed about her, her lips, her hair, their hands touching, their lips coming closer, and closer, nearly touching when...he suddenly woke up. What the heck is wrong with me? He spent all the next day daydreaming about the Heylin monk of shadows...
