Raimundo had thought that it wouldn't be this soon before they had to go hunting for Shen-Gong-Wu. He looked around. He was on Dojo's back as Dojo was flying through the skies. Omi was at his usual position, near Dojo's head. There was an empty spot between Omi and him.
Kimiko's spot.
He turned around and saw Clay, apparently in deep thought, for his blue eyes were not focused on anything in particular.
Rai turned his look to the Shen-Gong-Wu scroll he held in his hands. He remembered it was just two weeks ago when he threw this scroll in her face. How cute her angry face had gotten. 'Whoa', he thought, 'Did I just think that?'
He opened the scroll. The Goggles of Dashi had revealed themselves.
"Allows you to see in the dark. Kinda like night vision goggles, right?" Raimundo asked.
"Yeah, but combined with the Eye of Dashi, they can cause much more damage. Think of it this way, the goggles amplify the power of the eye." Dojo replied.
"Okaaaay." Rai said hesitantly.
Omi had remained silent ever since he spoke with Master Fung. Kimiko's death hit him harder than Jack's bots ever could.
"Okay, we're here. Let's try to bag the Wu, without much too trouble, alright fellas?" Dojo said.
The others just nodded.
Raimundo looked at his surroundings. He noticed the cave in a small cliff.
"In there?" He asked.
Dojo replied, "Hey, it was Dashi's idea to put the goggles in a dark place."
"Alright, let's go already." said Rai with no enthusiasm.
The remaining dragons entered the cave. The cave was pitch black. They started walking deeper in the cave until they could not see the sunlight through the entrance.
Raimundo heard something, something faint. It kind of sounded like a rock moving.
"Did any of you guys hear that?" Rai asked.
Clay raised an eyebrow. "Hear what?"
"I thought I heard someth------------------------Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
The ground collapsed underneath them. They had landed in another dirt tunnel.
"Alright, anyone dead? Please speak up." Dojo said.
Raimundo gave Dojo a look no one could see because of the darkness.
"Okay, I guess no one's dead." Dojo replied.
"Is the Wu near here?" Rai asked.
"Yup, I'm getting a major rash, here." Dojo said.
'Too much information' Rai could almost hear Kimiko say.
"Which way?" asked Clay while facing three different directions.
"Hmmm, I can't tell. We'll have to split up into three groups. Each group will take a different way in the fork. I'll take the 'vow of silence' monk over here." And with that, Dojo slithered onto Omi's arm and Omi walked off in the left tunnel.
"I guess we'll be seperate." Clay said.
"I guess so."
Rai and Clay each took off in the other two tunnels. As soon as they left, a figure stepped out of the shadows. A yellow tooth grin can be seen.
Raimundo had chosen the tunnel to the right. He wandered into before he realized he had left.
He heard something again. Aside from the occasional water drop, he heard footsteps.
He knew too well from Kimiko's experience, and started to walk again, and watching from the corner of his eye behind him.
He saw a hand going for his shoulder.
The hand was holding a daggar.
Rai quickly turned around and pushed the person into the wall. He put his hand on their neck as if he were to choke them.
The person quickly dropped his daggar.
Rai gasped as he saw the person.
"Jack Spicer?" He whispered.
