dl-sPirit: Heya everyone! Where I am, it's midummer!

Raimundo: In short, you may have a motivation problem.

dl-sPirit: Presicely. I wonder if anyone's seen Jadebell. I stole Chase from her and threatened to kill him, but I have no threatening reviews.

Jack: At least not yet.

dl-sPirit: Ok, today's your pay day guys. Unfortunately, I can't pay you in money- (everyone scoots away)-but maybe this'll do. (hands each one a large box; Raimundo, curious, opens his box first)

Raimundo: Pudding cups!

Jack: (opens his box) PUDDING CUPS!

Omi: (opening his box) Oh, I wish to sample this jiggly chocolate substance you call 'pudding'! (they all begin eating pudding)

dl-sPirit: Ok. First, I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. Second, to my reviewers:

To Kosmic: That'll be interesting if they meet. (Imagines seeing fanfiction in chaos). Oh, quick question: May I ask you to update The Dragon Clans?

To Kaisa: I am! Yea, you updated too! (waits for Raimundo to shut me up, but he doesn't) Ok.

dl-sPirit: Here it is!

Kimiko found her and the other warriors on a cliff overlooking Rio de Janeiro. No wonder why Rai liked living here, she thought, looking at the city, it' really beautiful.

"Bet ya Rai's gonna be ticked that he missed his chance to see his home," Clay remarked. The three of them were searching for the latest shen-gong-wu (A/N: Due to the fact that it'll probably never be mentioned again, its name/power have been excluded). Something unusual caught Kimiko's eyes. "There it is!" she cried, leaping over and grabbing an end. At the same tme, it was grabbed at the other end by a hand - a blue dragon's hand.

She looked up to see a dragon that bore strong rsemblance to Omi's description of the intruder. This must've been the dragon! she told herself. Nonetheless, before the dragon could even open its mouth, Kimiko said, "I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown, er, uh..." "Vento," it finished in a rough voice. "Ok, Vento, I wager my Lotus Twister for your-"

"He wagers the Ring of the Nine Dragon," Jack interrupted. Kimiko and the others had just noticed him and Wuya hovering overhead. Omi noted something black around the base of the dragon's neck. Maybe he had missed it the first time? He didn't let it bother him. "The challenge will be a race through the forest. First to get out wins," Jack finished. "I accept," Vento conceded. Both he and Kimiko called, simutaneously, "Xiaolin Showdown!"

The scenery shifted into the odd Xiaolin dimension. The forest vines and roots tangled into the path, dangling overhead and covering the ground. Part of the path were impossibly narrow, while boulders blocked other parts. Kimiko's outfit changed into her armor. The dragon's scales and feathers grew slightly larger and much harder, giving him a jagged appearance all over. "GONG YI TEMPAI!" they both yelled, and the showdown was on.

Kimiko used the Lotus twister to bypass the maze of plant life. The situation seemed rather familiar to Vento, who navigated through the snaking vines with ease that were overhead. Yeah, it was flying. Kimiko often stretched out to grab one of his wings and pull it down, but that only caused him to fly a bit higher. After the fourth failed attempt, Kimiko decided to forget about it.

"What do you think? You like him?" Jack asked excitedly. "Kimiko will win in the end," Omi replied. To the monk's great surprise, Wuya chuckled and said cryptically, "Though we do like what he can do, that's not why we got him. No, it's because of what he is." This confused the two warriors, so they shoved it to the back of their minds and watched the showdown.

Kimiko seemed to have an advantage. The path ahead was far too narrow for the dragon's wings because of the trees. Plus, Vento seemed to be slowing down somewhat. "Ya can win this!" Clay yelled to Kimiko. "If you don't win, you know what'll happen," Jack hollered to Vento. The dragon, with great difficulty, swallowed nervously and put on a burst of speed, passing the Dragon of Fire. The only thing left was to get through the trees. Kimiko was confident that he would be stopped by those. Then, to her great surprise, he turned sideways so that the wings were perpendicular to the ground and flew through at top speed. Everyone watched Vento zoom over the finish line.

The scenery shifted back to the regular world, with Kimiko's armor disappearing and Vento's scales and feathers retutning to normal. Jack was grinning broadly as the dragon held three shen-gong-wu. Kimiko noticed that, unlike what she expected, the dragon seemed to be upset about winning. Jack took the shen-gong-wu from the dragon. "Ok, let's go now, Vento," Jack said warningly to the dragon, putting emphasis on his name. He sighed, flapped his wings a flew times, and flew off, clsely folloed by Jack and Wuya, who were laughing evilly.

Omi: (is all hyper from eating his entire box) BOING-DOINK-WHHHEEEEE!

dl-sPirit: I can't believe you guys.

Jack: Neither can I.

Raimundo: (laughs randomly and hits head into wall several times)

dl-sPirit: Hey, Jack?

Jack: (turns) Yeah?

dl-sPirit: Other side!

Jack: (turns around) Oh, what?

dl-sPirit: You all need to go to Detox. You go with Rai. I'll take Omi.

Jack: PUDDING STICKS!

dl-sPirit: o0 Ok, that was random. Go now. (shoves Rai and Jack in direction of Detox)

Raimundo: Look, a seagull!

dl-sPirit: (attempting to take Omi) Please review! And remind me to get them smaller boxes next time!
