A/N: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown or any of the characters. I've also been busy lately so that explains the delay. Anyway, please read and review.
Chapter 4- A nightmare and a fight
Raimundo found himself sitting on a beautiful beach that reminded him of his native Brazil. He was wearing swimming trunks and his surfboard was to the left of him. To his right was Kimiko in a bikini that showed off her body. Her head was lying against his chest and they were both relaxing on the beach and soaking in the ocean breeze. The beach was somewhat crowded but there was still plenty of space left for people who wanted to go. Raimundo sighed contently, put his arm around Kimiko's shoulder and squeezed her slightly.
"Ahh, this is the life right Kimiko?" Raimundo asked her.
"Oh Rai, I love you so much," Kimiko said, kissing him passionately.
After several minutes, both of them separated to get some oxygen. Kimiko sighed, placed her hand on Raimundo's chest and put her hands on his shoulder as Raimundo put his arms around her waist and hugged her. Raimundo then looked up at the sky and saw something he did not want to see. In the sky above, Jack Spicer was flying toward them along with nearly a hundred jackbots. Upon seeing Jack Spicer and his jackbots, most people screamed then ran away from the beach.
"Jack, what in the world are you doing here?" Kimiko asked angrily.
"I'm just here to pick up something I feel should be mine," Jack Spicer said, landing on the beach.
"And what do you think should be yours?" Raimundo asked.
"I'm here to get Kimiko. Jackbots, restrain him," Jack said, pointing at Raimundo, who got ready to fight.
A dozen jackbots flew over but he was able to destroy all dozen of the jackbots with some help from Kimiko. Then an entire swarm of jackbots attacked. Raimundo and Kimiko tried to fight all the jackbots but there were too many. Soon, Raimundo was being restrained by over a dozen jackbots and Kimiko was being held by some other jackbots. Jack Spicer laughed evilly and took off from the beach. The jackbots holding Kimiko then took off and followed Jack Spicer. After that, the jackbots holding Raimundo rose off the ground then threw him in the water.
"NOOO! DAMN YOU JACK SPICER!" Raimundo yelled.
Raimundo felt someone shaking him then he faintly heard a voice but could not make out what that voice was saying. He opened his eyes and saw he was in his room at the temple. Raimundo took several deep breaths in an attempt to calm down. He remembered the dream he had before then sighed in relief. 'Luckily, that was a dream,' he thought as he felt someone hug him warmly for several minutes before moving away. Raimundo looked up and saw Kimiko sitting on his bed next to him.
"Kim? What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I head you scream Rai, so I came to check on you. Once I got in I could tell you were having a nightmare so I started shaking you. Want to tell me about it?" she asked.
"I sure as hell can't tell Omi or Clay. Master Fung, maybe but I know for sure I can tell you because you would actually listen and hear me out," he said.
"Oh Rai, I love you. I will listen to what you have to say even if it's ridiculous," she said, putting a comforting arm around Raimundo.
"Okay then, I'll just tell you the main points of what happened. You were right. I was having a nightmare even though it started out pleasant. Both of us were on a beach relaxing. All of a sudden Jack Spicer comes by with his jackbots. We fight the jackbots but there are simply way too much for the both of us to deal with. The jackbots take you away and dump me in the water," he said.
"Oh Rai, don't worry about something like that. We can both look out for each other and nothing will happen to us," she said.
"Yeah I guess you're right Kim," he said.
"Of course I am," she said smiling.
"What time is it anyway?" he asked.
"It's 3:27 in the morning," she said, yawning loudly.
"Sorry for waking you up so early," he said.
"Oh don't worry about that," she said.
At that moment, there was a loud yelp. Kimiko went outside to see what caused the noise. She came in a few seconds later holding onto Dojo by the tail.
"Dojo man, what's going on?" Raimundo asked.
"A new shen-gong-wu has activated itself just now all the way in Toronto. Come on, we need to get it before that Jack Spicer brat," Dojo said, taking a deep breath. "SHEN-GONG-WU ALERT! COME ON PEOPLE! GET UP!" Dojo yelled, running up and down the hall.
After a few minutes, all the dragons had finished brushing up and were ready to find the new shen-gong-wu even though all of them looked like they needed more sleep. Dojo had already enlarged himself so all of them could be able to sit on his back. When everybody was on, Dojo started to fly but it was obvious that Dojo was still tired and was flying extremely slowly. Omi sighed and walked over to Dojo's head. He grabbed Dojo's eyelids and held them open as Dojo continued to fly. Finally, they landed in the streets of Toronto.
"Dojo, what are we looking for again?" Kimiko asked.
"We are looking for the branch of sight. This allows someone to see another person's hidden desires and creates a mirage of those desires visible only to the person it is being used on. We must get the branch of sight. It should be here somewhere," Dojo said, looking around.
"I found it!" Raimundo yelled triumphantly, standing by a tree planted on the street.
"Oh no, you don't," the all-too familiar voice of Jack Spicer said, grabbing on just as the branch of sight started to glow.
"Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My sword of the storm versus your lotus twister," Raimundo said.
"Fine, name your game," Jack Spicer said, yawning loudly.
"I challenge you to a good old fashioned fight. First one to have blood on their face loses," Raimundo said.
"Fine whatever," Jack Spicer said, yawning loudly again.
"XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" both of them shouted at once. The scenery immediately changed so that Jack Spicer and Raimundo were standing in the middle of a road where cars would normally be. Both of them glared angrily at each other, thinking about what the other had done to them before. Jack thought about Raimundo going on a rampage in order to save Kimiko and Raimundo thought about Jack Spicer kidnapping Kimiko. "GONG YE TAMPAI!" both of them shouted and the challenge began.
"You know I still remember that cheap shot you gave me," Jack Spicer said angrily.
"Yeah well, I remember if you did not kidnap her to begin with I would have never punched you," Raimundo said, repeatedly punching Jack Spicer in the face with both hands. Within seconds, the scenery had begun changing back to normal. Raimundo had won this Xiaolin Showdown.
"Damn it, I'll get you back," Jack Spicer said, his face covered with blood. Jack Spicer then turned away and flew back to his base.
"Wow Raimundo my friend that was most awesome! It was completely on the hook!" Omi said, congratulating Raimundo for winning the branch of sight so quickly.
"You mean off the hook right Omi?" Raimundo asked, rolling his eyes.
"That too but that was well done my friend," Omi said smiling.
"Good job Raimundo," Clay said, tipping his hat at Raimundo.
"Rai, that was simply fantastic. How you just beat him like that," Kimiko whispered, hugging him tightly before kissing his cheek.
"Well, you know it wasn't too hard," Raimundo said.
"Oh, you're such a brave and valiant warrior. You're the perfect knight in shining armor for me," she said.
Raimundo and Kimiko looked each other in the eye. Both of them were deeply in love with each other and it seemed like there was nothing around to bother them. They moved closer to each other smiling and were about to kiss when they heard Dojo clear his throat loudly. Raimundo and Kimiko looked over at Dojo who had already enlarged himself. Omi and Clay were also sitting on Dojo's back already and it seemed like they were waiting for them. Both Raimundo and Kimiko blushed furiously then climbed on back of Dojo, waiting to get back to the temple.
