Raimundo: (sneaking in with Omi)Hey, where is everybody?

Omi: Yes, it is most quiet here...and dark.

Ferret: (Leaps out and bites Omi)Oh, you'll suffer! It's all your fault, you two little -!

Jack: They're back? (sees Omi and Rai fending off Ferret)Hey, you deserve it. Me and her, we had to put up with dl-sPirit. After you left, she locked herself in her room, Boulevard of Broken Dreams playing on her laptop at FULL BLAST!

Raimundo: (ashamed)...so, where is she?

Ferret: In room!

Omi: (walks over to door and knocks)

dl-sPirit: Go away!

Omi: But we're back!

dl-sPirit: (music stops)RAIMUNDO! (door flies open and grabs Raimundo and hugs him) Oh, I missed you so much!

Raimundo: Yeah, yeah. (beginning to choke) Can you - please put me - down?

dl-sPirit: Oh...yeah. (Puts down Raimundo) Ok, now that I'm happy - disclaimer!

Omi: dl-sPirit doesn't own Xiaolin Showdown. She only owns the ferret. The computer is her mom's-

Jack: That's enough. Reviews.

To haki saki: dl-sPirit: You took that WAY too literally. It was to get a point across ok? Ferret -

Ferret: On it! (goes to bite haki saki)

To windflame: Raimundo: Ouch. Well, maybe you can read this before you go to Ireland...I dunno...

To Rave Slave: Jack:...whatever happens, I just want to let me know that dl-sPirit is to blame and I'm under her protection!

To Elemental-Zero/Kaisa: Omi: Here is the chapter you requested.

To mdizzle: dl-sPirit: Thank you!

To Kosmic: dl-sPirit: Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Jack: Don't know if I should say thank you for returning them or if I should kill you for taking them. (looks to Ferret, who shrugs)

To Priestess kuruni inu's sister: Raimundo: dl-sPirit says it's not that bad. If you were a flamer, she'd shorten it and then send Ferret after you...

To SaphireStars: Jack: YOU TAKE OMI AND RAIMUNDO I WILL KILL YOU PERSONALLY!

Omi: But she didn't flame the story!

Ferret: YOU WEREN'T STUCK WITH THE AUTHOR WHEN SHE WAS MOPING!

Raimundo: Got it., We'll stay.

dl-sPirit: Here is the (sorry to say) final chapter!

(Rai's POV) The scenery returned to normal. Kimiko now held the new-shen-gong-wu, the Eye of Dasi, and the Lunar Locket. Clay, Omi, and Dojo were cheering like mad while I, who had landed nearby, unharmed, gave her a small smile. Jack and Wuya looked furious. Without hesitation, she held up the Lunar Locket and activated the rarely-used shen-gong-wu. The full moon vanished from the sky and, in a bright flash of light, I changed back to normal.

Dojo supersized and Clay and Omi already got on. Kimiko ran to get on and I tried to follow. Suddenly, a wave of pain wracked my body. I heard a scream - I later realized that it was mine - and collapsed to the ground.

Kimiko turned around. I could barely see now. Darkness was eating at the edges of my vision. I couldn't think about anything but the pain. Luckily, after what seemed forever, it ended. I tried to get up, but the pain returned, even stronger. I fell again.

(Kimiko's POV) What was going on? One minute, he's running after me so we could go back to the temple. Next thing, he's on the ground, writhing in pain, and screaming. The sight of it was agonizing.I felt so sorry for him. Something near his neck was glowing. I ran over as he finally stopped, but Jack stopped me verbally.

"One more step and your friend's gonna get it!" he warned, holding a small box-like device. I obeyed, but I was close enough to hear Rai's ragged breathing. I could tell that he couldn't get up - not on his own. Wuya floated over to Raimundo.

"Did you really think we would let you go so easily?" she taunted, "Not a chance. After all, it's not every day, we find good help."

"What...did you...do?" he whispered. I could tell that, if Wuya was solid, and if he had enough strength, he would strangle that witch in a heartbeat. Wuya chuckled darkly before replying, "I persuaded Jack to build...let's call it a collar." I looked at Rai's neck. Sure enough, there was a black collar there, tight enough to prevent him from slipping out. He put his hand up and felt it there. He snarled at her.

"Now, now, Raimundo," Wuya chuckled, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. That collar can deliver a lethal shock." At this, his eyes widened, and I could hear myself, Omi, Clay, and Dojo gasping in horror or shock. Maybe shock isn't the word, considering Raimundo's situation.

"And we'll use it if you purposefully lose another Showdown or if you try to leave," Jack finished. Raimundo forced himself onto his knees before looking to me, eyes full of pain. I didn't want him dead, so I said softly, "Rai, we don't want you dead. We'll get you out. I promise." He mouthed, 'Thank you' to me before giving Jack and Wuya a resignated sigh. Jack grinned at this and summoned two Jack-bots.

"Ok, take him back to the lair," Jack ordered. One said, "Yes, sir." They both flew over to Raimundo and picked him up by his arms. As they flew off, followed by Jack and Wuy laughing evilly (deja vu?), I had to get on Dojo. As we flew off, Clay lowered his hat over his face, Omi wiped his eyes on his sleeve, Dojo sighed, and I could feel the tears running down my face.

Though we'd won the Showdown, we lost our friend.

Omi: You left him with Jack?

Jack: Hey, I'm not THAT evil.

Raimundo: WHAT DO MEAN I'M STUCK WITH THAT LOSER!

Jack: Hey!

dl-sPirit: Calm down, the sequel will come soon.

Everyone but Ferret: Sequel?

Ferret: Yeah! Couldn't be part of this story. It's more angsty. dl-sPirit, quick summary?

dl-sPirit: Ok. It's been a month. The warriors haven't got back Raimundo. But then they are called to Brazil. There, they meet an interesting creature who knows how to help their friend...

Ferret: Can't say more, that'll ruin it!

Omi: So, Raimundo may come back?

Raimundo: I'd better!

Jack: Ok, I'm going on a break, so is everyone else, and review!
