Chapter 7- A Dangerous Lantern
"What shen-gong-wu has just activated Dojo dude?" Raimundo asked.
"The lantern of the past," Dojo said, taking out a shen-gong-wu scroll. "This shen-gong-wu will allow anyone who can get it to make anybody they want relive their memories from the past but most of it will be bad memories people would like to forget," Dojo said, enlarging himself.
"Where is this new we Dojo?" Clay asked.
"It's somewhere in Boston," Dojo said.
All the dragons went back to change into something more appropiate for the trip to get the shen-gong-wu. Raimundo changed into a pair of jeans and his orange, white, brown and green t-shirt, Clay changed into his cowboy outfit, Omi changed into his other monk outfit and Kimiko changed into a tank top and a pair of jeans. Five minutes later, they were on Dojo's back flying toward Boston. Omi and Clay were the two people closest to Dojo's head while Kimiko and Raimundo were sitting behind Omi and Clay.
"Remember kids, the trip to Boston is going to take a while so relax for now," Dojo said.
Raimundo and Kimiko did not need to be told again. Right after Dojo said the trip was going to take a while, they had already started kissing each other. Their tongues were in each other's mouth, Kimiko's hands were under Raimundo's shirt and roaming across his chest. Raimundo on the other hand had his hands under Kimiko's shirt and was moving his hands around her back. Finally, they separated because both of them needed oxygen and they felt someone was watching them.
"Raimundo and Kimiko my friends, what are the two of you doing? Maybe there is something in my book that will be able to help me," Omi said, taking out his infamous "Ancient Guide to Females" book.
"Omi, put that dumb book away before I smoke you," Kimiko said angrily.
"But how can you smoke me when I am not a cigarette?" Omi asked.
"She doesn't mean it literally genious. What she means is she is going to beat you up Omi and I got her back," Raimundo said.
Omi partner, them two are more dangerous than a rabid rattlesnake stuck at the bottom of a pit," Clay said.
"I think it would be best to avoid them," Omi said, turning around.
"Oh Rai? Thanks for standing up for me," Kimiko whispered.
"Anytime Kim," Raimundo said, lying down on Dojo's back.
"Rai? Why are you lying down right now?" she asked.
"Well, you heard Dojo. It's going to be a while before we actually reach Boston so I decided to chill out first," he said.
"I just look forward to the day when we capture all those shen-gong-wu and we can finally live our lives in peace," she said.
"I hope your future plans include me," he said.
"Of course Rai. I expect both of us to marry and have kids then live in some fancy house in some romantic city like Paris," she said.
"Wow, sounds like you already figured out what you want to do in your life already and I'm happy I'm part of it Kim," he said.
"You should know my parents want me to take off a week so I can bring you to meet them back in Japan," she said.
"Sounds good. I'll go with you whenever you actually go," he said.
"Okay kids, we finally made it to Boston!" Dojo yelled out as he landed outside of a church.
"I've never been to Boston before. I wonder what it's like," Kimiko said so that only Raimundo could hear her.
"Girl, we only here to do our job so come back later if you want to do some actual sightseeing," Raimundo said in reply.
"Dojo, where is the actual shen-gong-wu?" Omi asked.
"I don't know. It should be somewhere around here," Dojo said, looking around.
"Well we better find it before that creep Jack Spicer gets here!" Kimiko said.
"Hahaha, you're too late now darling," Jack Spicer said as he landed near Kimiko. He then turned to her and began to stare at her body.
"Jack Spicer, get your eyes off my body," Kimiko said angrily.
"And why should I?" Jack Spicer said, laughing.
"Because I will beat your ass so bad, your own parents won't even recognize you. Hell, no one is gonna recognize you no more when I'm done," Raimundo said angrily.
"Oooh, sticking up for your slutty girlfriend now eh?" Jack Spicer said tauntingly.
"Take that back," Raimundo said, getting into a fighting stance.
"No way will I ever take that back," Jack Spicer said in response.
"Fine then. You asked for it," Raimundo said.
Raimundo suddenly leaped at Jack who screamed. Raimundo started punching Jack Spicer in the face with his hands as Kimiko screamed and Omi, Clay and Dojo watched in stunned silence. After repeatedly punching Jack Spicer for several minutes, Raimundo dragged Jack Spicer up and threw him against a wall then started kicking Jack Spicer in the stomach. Raimundo then stopped kicking Jack Spicer in the stomach then threw Jack Spicer against a wall again. By now, Jack Spicer was bleeding from his face and coughing up blood.
"Rai, please stop fighting Jack," Kimiko whispered, coming up to where Raimundo was standing so she could get him to stop fighting.
Raimundo looked at Kimiko's face and he could tell it was full of concern. Her blue eyes showed concern and the look on her face clearly told him to stop fighting. Raimundo took several deep breaths then walked away from Jack Spicer. Kimiko smiled happily then hugged him. Behind them, Jack Spicer was trying to get off the ground but would cough up blood every few seconds and had trouble doing so. Finally, Jack Spicer was able to get into a sitting position.
"Raimundo, I will get you back for that attack," Jack Spicer said, coughing up more blood. By now Jack Spicer was a mess. His face was completely covered in a crimson mask of blood and he had trouble breathing properly.
"Hey Jack, I'm ready for you. Give me your best shot," Raimundo said tauntingly to Jack Spicer's face.
"Okay Rai, you did enough damage to Jack spicer already and we know you can beat him any day of the week. Now can we get the shen-gong-wu and get out of here?" Kimiko asked.
"Oh kids, it's over there!" Dojo yelled out excitedly, pointing at a lantern on the church that was starting to glow.
Omi quickly went over to get the shen-gong-wu but Jack Spicer had somehow managed to grab hold of it at the same time as Omi. Both Omi and Jack Spicer glared angrily at each other because they knew what was going to happen.
"Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My mantis flip coin versus your third arm sash!" Omi yelled.
"Sure little baldy. Name the game," Jack Spicer said.
"The game is a race. Whoever can run from one end of the street to the other first is the winner of the showdown. Ready to suffer a humiliating defeat Jack Spicer?" Omi asked.
"Bring it on shorty," Jack Spicer said.
"XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" both Jack Spicer and Omi yelled at the same time. The scenery changed to reveal a flat road with a big banner that said FINISH and had a line where Omi and Jack Spicer were now sitting. "GONG YE TAMPAI!" both of them shouted.
"Mantis flip coin," Omi said, jumping high into the air.
"Third arm sash," Jack Spicer said, using the extra arm to catch Omi.
"Jack Spicer, let me down right now!" Omi yelled.
"Sure, whatever you say," Jack Spicer said. He then used the third arm sash to throw Omi into the same wall Raimundo had thrown him against before. Jack Spicer then easily flew to the other side of the street and everything became normal again.
"Haha Xiaolin losers, I win again," Jack spicer said tauntingly. "Well I would love to stay and chat with you but I have more important things to do. Hope that the little baldy ain't hurt too bad," Jack Spicer said, lifting off from the ground.
"What has happened to me?" Omi asked in surprise.
"You just lost the Xiaolin Showdown to Jack Spicer. Now he has two more shen-gong-wu," Dojo said.
"Oh this is most embarrassing," Omi said in disgust.
At that moment, there was a loud noise from above them as Jack Spicer had returned. "Oh yeah here's my revenge," Jack Spicer said, taking out the lantern of the past. "Lantern of the past!" Jack Spicer shouted, pointing at Raimundo.
A light came out from the end of the lantern and hit Raimundo in the chest. Raimundo immediately fell to the ground and put his hands over his head. He began to twitch and scream then blood started coming out of him. Jack Spicer laughed evilly and flew off. Meanwhile, the other dragons and Dojo were looking at Raimundo with concern, especially Kimiko.
