Chapter 25: Ethan

"O.K, here's the golden monkey." Clay said grabbing it by the body.

"Hand it over." A boy around Dylan's age told him, the boy had messy blonde hair, and light sapphire eyes.

"And who are you?" Dylan asked.

"I'm Ethan; I'm Katnappe's brother who, like my sister, will win you!" Ethan told him.

"The only thing you'll win is a good butt kicking." Clay told him.

"You wish!" Ethan said grabbing the Golden Monkey.

"Fine let me prove it, Ethan; I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown."

"A what?"

"A showdown, where we fight over this here Shen Gong Wu."

"O.K, what do I have to do?"

"You pick a Shen Gong Wu to use and I'll pick a challenge that we have to compete in."

"O.K, this thing is my Shen Gong Wu, and what's the challenge?" Ethan asked, removing the Satin's Shield from his back.

"O.k., I'll use the eye of Dashi, and the challenge is first one to touch that tree over there."

"O.K. I accept, now w... w... what?" Ethan started to say but the ground was shaking underneath him, the floor had patterns on, and was set in blocks, with platforms to break up each section; Clay and him both had their own separate floors in front of them and Dylan was sat watching on a separate platform out of the way.

"Guess we have to walk across," Clay said, "Gong Yi Tampai."

"Gong what?" Ethan asked, all this was totally new to him.

"Let's see, this is a showdown and we say Gong Yi Tampai to start."

"O.K, Gong Yi Tampai." Ethan said and watched Clay start, but as soon as Clay stepped on the first block, all the other blocks with the same symbol dropped and Clay had to jump to not fall down and barley made it to the first platform, over all, there were ten platforms and the eleventh was the tree.

"Umm, let's see, I'll just try and run across." Ethan said, and that's what he did, apart from having to jump to reach the first platform.

"Hurry up." Clay tormented reaching the third platform.

'Wait a second.' Ethan thought, and the layout reminded him of a game he'd played once, "This should be no problem at all." He said out load and caught up with Clay in no time on the fifth platform.


"You're not gonna win!" Clay shouted as he reached the seventh platform and Ethan was on the ninth, the road of blocks was getting longer each time.

"Watch me!" Ethan shouted.

"Yeah, watch this partner, eye of Dashi!" Clay shouted.

"umm," Ethan panicked, he didn't know what to do, he'd never been in this position before, he was about to die, he was about to die horribly by getting hit by lightning, he had a Shen Gong Wu, the only problem was, he didn't listen, he was told it's name, but couldn't remember it, he frantically searched his brain or it's name but was too late as the lightning came straight at him, he tried to duck but was too late, and the lightning struck him straight across his right cheek and it began to drip fresh red blood and the flow got heavier and heavier, and his vision went blurry.

"Still think you're gonna win?"

"Yes." Ethan got up again not about to give up and looked with his blurry vision at Clay and then at the road in front of him and thought how on earth he was going to make it.

"Maybe I need to show you again, eye of Dashi." Clay called out, he could see the boy was bleeding badly and had to get treatment but he had to do a showdown so this time Clay had made sure to get it close to him but not hit him, if he moved in time.

"No," Ethan whispered to himself, he had heard Clay launch another bolt of lightning and couldn't see it. 'This is it, I'm about to die from a lightning crazy cowboy, but I can't, I have to prove to my sister I'm not worthless, I have to show them that they can rely on me', "Satin's Shield."

"Uh-oh." Clay said as the lightning bolt hit off the shield guarding Ethan and headed towards him.

"Huh?" Ethan asked, everything had gone back to normal but he was still cowering behind the shield, he wondered who had won and looked at the golden monkey and eye of Dashi in front of him, and began to wonder what had happened. 'What happened I don't know where that came from, how'd I remember the name? All I know is I am definitely alive, I think, but what about the other guy? Did he get hit, did he die? I really don't want to look and find out; but what if I did kill him? Well I can't stay behind this thing forever.' He thought and began to stand up slowly to find out what had happened, after wiping some of the smeared blood off his face.

"Are you alright?" Dylan asked who was a just inch in front of him.

"Yeah, I should be." Ethan told him and looked at the cowboy still alive and standing and worded what had happened.

"No, you're not, you're pouring of blood."

"But I'll be fine."

"Look but this on, healing hoop." Dylan said forcing a bracelet onto his wrist and saying its name; suddenly the gap on his cheek closed and the only thing that remanded to show he had been cut was the blood on his face and clothes.

"Thanks." Ethan said.

"No problem partner." Clay said walking up to them.

"What happened?" Ethan asked.

"Let's see, you guarded yourself with the shield and then the lightning bolt flew back at me, as I tried to duck, I fell off and lost the showdown." Clay explained.

"And then we snap back to reality where you ask us what happened." Dylan said.

"O.K, I better go then." Ethan said.

"Hey partner, just to let you know, you put up one hell of a showdown for a kid your age." Clay told him.

"Thanks." Ethan replied and walked off obviously to go find Katnappe or Jack or someone.

"What do we do now? We lost the Shen Gong Wu." Dylan told Clay.

"We wait for the others to get us; they won't mind we lost the Shen Gong Wu." Clay told him.

"O.K." Dylan replied and watched Ethan fly off using some sort of jetpack.

- first it wouldn't let me do my normal break for paragraphs, anyway if you already saw the other copy of this the new paragraph break is now:


-Next I'm back everyone! I had a great holiday; I went to the circus for the first time ever!!!!! Lol, anyway, I can update so many chapters at a time because I write ahead, and Dragon of Wood, I need to know what you want Becki to look like!!!!!! Please hurry... anyway; I decided what's going to happen at the end of this story, Jack w... I'm not telling it would give away the story.

Jack: I know what happens!

Me: I know you do, I have no one else to share ideas with.

Jack: It's really good, and the next few chapters are.

Raimundo: No there not, I read them!

Jack: It's good when you're on the bad team.

Raimundo: I hate Katnappe.

Me: O.K, stop arguing, I had to write it or else Jack would have hated me and I don't want him to hate me!

Jack: EVERYONE TELL KELLY TO UPDATE UP TO 28 OR 29 FOR SOME REALLY GOOD CHAPTERS!

Me: Be quite Jack, like anyone would want to anyway.

Raimundo: Don't update up to them chapters, I'll never say stupid stuff again that get me into that situation!

Me: There going to have to be put up sooner or later.

Dylan: Be thankful, if it wasn't for me none of you could have survived.

Matt: Wow, he talked for once, what else can you do?

Dylan:......

Kimiko: Leave him alone!

Matt: Shut up.

Tank: I'd run if I were you now.

Matt: Why? Chicken mate?

Tank: No...

Matt: (Gets punched out by Kimiko)

Tank: That's why.

Omi: I like chapter 30!

Me: Why, because you do well in the game?

Omi: Yes, might I add that was a very difficult level.

Me: Okkkkkkkk, did anyone else notice that we're wasting everyone's time and giving away half the story?

Jack: It isn't a waste of time, I'm sure everyone would want to listen to me 24:7!

Raimundo: Why on earth would they want to do that?

Clay: Who's bringing my element in to this?

Me: (Hits head off desk like Dobby from Harry Potter) Ow, I shouldn't do that; I came home with a massive lump from doing it at school.

Jack: I remember that, you got a massive lump, in I think it was R.E, and then you did it in every other odd lesson.

Me: It wasn't R.E; it was Citizenship which WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO LAST YEAR AND ANY OTHER YEAR AT SCHOOL NOW, YEYYYYYYYYYY!

Dylan:...

Me: We'll all go away now, see you next time I update, probably tomorrow...

Jack: Bye, I know you all love me!

Raimundo: You wish.

Clay: I've seen someone who loves me.

Kimiko: That Jill?

Clay: Yeah, she seems really nice.

Me: Can we all just shut up?!

Jack: Yeah, sorry.

Raimundo: Bye.

Kimiko: Bye-bye.

Tank: See you all soon!

Matt: (Still knocked out)

Clay: Bye.

Omi: Bye.

Dylan: ...

Me: Please talk.

Dylan: O.K, bye.

Me: Yey! Bye everyone! See you next update!
