Thanks for the reviews! Ugh, I'm updating too fast for people to review. Oh well, I'm like that sometimes. Swift change of mood. Sometimes I obsess over writing fanfiction, and other times I write for a grand total of 10 minutes and say, "Blah", then lie in bed in bored misery. Yup, that's me.

Chapter 9 is UP! Yay!

Chapter 9- Double Battle

--

Raimundo was hugging Kimiko as tight as he possibly could. It was all he could do for now. He thought he saw a hint of sadness in her eyes, but it changed to anger. The clearness murked up again with that mad red glint that had appeared in it before, and suddenly she pushed him aside. "Raimundo. You fool. Did you ever think I would truly love you? A Brazilian rebel who once joined the Heylin side… Idiotic if you ask me. And now I'll destroy you. Love is for the weak."

"No…" Raimundo said, looking into her eyes. He knew that this was not the real Kimiko, but he felt sad and heartbroken against his logic. Why was Chase doing this? Why did he want vengeance in such a cruel way? Raimundo couldn't understand it at all. He just wanted everything to be back to normal.

Kimiko smiled as she looked at him. "Time to say good-bye," She said softly. She closed her eyes and stretched her arms out both directions. Suddenly, the underworld became a burning pit of great lava and Raimundo had to jump to avoid being hit by the lava Kimiko had created.

"Kim! Don't do this! Please…" Raimundo used his wind power to help him float so he would not touch the lava, which had now completely covered the ground. He had to stay in air, or else he would definitely be burnt.

"Too late!" Kimiko said. Her voice sounded like she truly did despise Raimundo, and it made Raimundo feel weak again. "Azure Flame- Fire!"

"Azure flame…?" Raimundo said, confused. Since when had she had that ability? He suddenly saw the blue fire coming towards him. It was huge! He dodged it barely, and just the heat ripped part of his shirt. He was falling into the lava! He took the one Shen Gong Wu he had brought with him, the Sword of the Storm, and used it to cause enough wind to float back up. He suddenly had an inspiration. Cooled lava turned into rock, which meant that he had to create a cold atmosphere. Then he would have easy access to the ground.

"Nice one. But this one's even better!" Raimundo yelled recklessly. "Sword of the Storm- Frost Breeze!" He had the ability to create a cold wind.

The lava slowly began cooling off as he flew his way around. "No!" Kimiko cried. "Fire!" She created fire that was coming towards Raimundo- fast.

"Oh, no you don't!" Raimundo took out his Sword of the Storm and made the fire fly in the other direction. He couldn't hit Kimiko and risk hurting her.

"Why didn't you just fire it at me?" Kimiko asked, pleased.

"Because… I won't hurt you! You're my friend, Kimiko!" Raimundo said these words genuinely, from his heart. He would not let Kimiko get hurt because it wasn't her fault that she was being possessed.

"What a pity. You're weak and you won't hurt me just because I am possessing your little friend. And you are going to pay because of that mistake, Raimundo." The Heylin Kimiko said. She knew she was protected, and Raimundo wouldn't dare hurt his little friend Kimiko, who was trapped.

She flickered her hand and fireballs came out of the sky. They sizzled with great strength and lit up the entire area. Raimundo tried to dodge all of them, but there were too many of them. "Ow!" he shouted as a large one burned up part of his sweatshirt and went out. It was so hot and intense. "T-Typhoon Boom- W-Wind!" he yelled with more strength than he thought was possible to muster in his condition. It blew the fires out.

Raimundo looked around him. The rock nearby was full of soot and ash. Smoke was rising out of them and it looked terrible. "You can't fight fire with fire," he said. "But you can fight fire with…WIND!"

A tornado rose out of the ground, heading towards Kimiko. "I swear I will not hurt you, Kim. But I will stop you from attacking!"

"What do you mean?" she cried fiercely. "You cannot stop me! FIRE!" Again, flames darted from her hand and she waved them around, aiming each at Raimundo.

The wind Raimundo had created immediately moved where the fire was, and absorbed all of the fire energy. "I've decided I won't aim it at you, Kim. I'll aim it at Chase!" he pointed towards the mound where Chase stood.

Chase speculated this with amusement. It was quite entertaining to watch this fight, and Raimundo was certain to lose. The pitiful wind would not stop him or even damage him. It was even more so since he had his strong armor on.

"Master- what should I do?" Kimiko cried urgently, realizing what Raimundo was talking about. "Should I still attack?"

"Do not underestimate me, my slave… My armor is far too strong for that incompetent young apprentice in training."

"Hey, dude, that's stupid! You need armor to protect you?" Raimundo said, trying to intimidate Chase into taking it off. Maybe then his strike would actually do some damage to that evil warrior.

"No, I don't. But this is for precautions, Raimundo."

"Yeah, right!" Raimundo yelled. "Flame Tornado- Destroy Chase!" The tornado swung at Chase with all of its absorbed fiery power. Chase merely had an expression of boredom on his face as he flung it back at Raimundo with only one arm.

"Argh!" Raimundo ceased the wind just in time. It had almost hit him… and now he didn't have much fighting energy left. "Darn it…" He clutched his stomach, which now started to twist painfully.

"Now that you're weak, I have you at the exact right spot," said Kimiko with a hungry look in her eyes. "It's time for all this nonsense to end."

"NO!" Raimundo couldn't move… had she put something on him, like a spell? He had to break through to her, or else she really would kill him. "Kimiko! I know you're in there somewhere, just listen to me! Fight whatever's possessing you and hurry! Please help, Kim!"

Inside, Kimiko heard Raimundo's voice. She could see the evil spirit summoning up for an attack, grinning evilly. Suddenly fire appeared in her hand. Kimiko knew she had to act quickly, or Raimundo would be… Tears filled her eyes as she thought of what would happen to Raimundo. Those tears plopped deep into her heart, surrounding the spirit's fire, and suddenly the fire was extinguished. How had she done it? Kimiko herself wasn't sure, but she was glad. Raimundo was safe now. She smiled.

"You did it, Kim!" Rai smiled. He knew exactly what to do now.

Omi was on his way across the woods with Clay. They had carried all four weapons of the warriors. Master Fung had told them that when all four weapons were together, they could form something greater than any other power that exists on Earth. But it would only happen when the time was right, and Omi hoped that this would happen for the four of them now.

Suddenly, the woods area became pitch black, overshadowed by a dark force. A woman cackled. She had bright red hair and green eyes, and a smile on her face that represented certain amusement at seeing them.

"Well, well. You fools again, isn't it? Here to intercept Chase's brilliant plan? Well, I'm sorry to say you won't be getting past me!"

"Chase's plan is not brilliant! It is most hurtful to the people involved!" Omi shouted at Wuya, ready for a fight.

"Yeah, Wuya, we'll give ya a chance to release 'em or else we'll kick yer old hag butt!" Clay demanded angrily.

"Those 'old hag', as you call me, will defeat you. You're not as strong as I with my powers returned!" Wuya laughed menacingly. She didn't actually have to defeat them, but she had to at least stall for an hour's time. Chase knew that Jack would most probably fail on his mission to retrieve the two Shen Gong Wu. And because the Xiaolin monks were actually quite intelligent, he knew they could find the Claw of Iaki and the Globe of Eienko and interfere with his plans. It was a part and also not a part of his plan. Either way, it was still convenient for him. He could even destroy four of them at the same time this way.

Wuya closed her eyes, and suddenly the surrounding was suddenly a gooey light green color. She summoned the strange green Heylin energy all together in a huge, glowing ball of green light. Omi and Clay gasped at the powerful force she had created, wondering what it could possibly be. They knew they had to find some way to destroy it, though.

"This is the end," She said softly. She held it in the air and absorbed all the light around them. The whole forest was so dark, it was nearly impossible to see anything but the mysterious light. Then she unleashed it and fired.
