Chapter 12: Ox's Horn
Dojo shook wildly. "This is it!" he shouted. "The last of the ones he needs has activated! And it feels like the Ox's Horn!"
The Xiaolin Dragons gathered around the Scroll. Omi read the information of the new Shen Gong Wu. "The Ox's Horn is an ancient Helmet. Upon it are two horns that represent the strength of the Ox given to the wearer."
Kimiko looked at it sceptically. "It looks like a viking's helmet. They thought that wearing that kind of helmet would give them endless strength."
Dojo was happy. "I remember it now! The Ox's Horn was what every viking helmet was based on. Since the actual helmet worked, they believed in the fake ones! But other than the shape, there are some differences. That's why they never exploded on the vikings."
The Xiaolin Dragons got on Dojo, Omi excitedly. The others were slightly depressed about losing to Rioss in every showdown.
They got to a large mountain as fast as possible. Actually, it wasn't very far away. As they got off of Dojo, Omi looked down at the Xiaolin Temple. "Why is it that so many Shen Gong Wu are just outside the Temple?" asked Raimundo. He turned around to see Omi and Rioss touching the Ox's Horn.
"Omi, youngest of the Heylin Blood Line, I challenge you to a Shen Yi Bu Dare! My Monkey Staff and Emerald Steed against your Sapphire Dragon and Serpent's Tail! Do you accept?" he said while grinning.
Kimiko gasped. "But Jack has the Serpent's Tail! Why would anyone take the Monkey Staff and leave the Serpent's Tail?"
Rioss, for the first time, looked puzzled. "You mean, Jack didn't join you? That would be the smart thing to do! Why is he such an idiot! He kick him out of my base, after telling him my life story, and he just goes out and does random stuff instead of telling the only people who could stand a chance of defeating me how to do it? What an idiot! Oh, well, I'll change my challenge to your Sapphire Dragon and Ying-Yang Yo-Yo. First to fall off the mountain loses."
"I accept that, most evil one. Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!"
Everyone watched as the mountain changed into a random landscape that could only have been created by Pablo Picasso or a patient at your local asylum. Rock spread every way physically possible and some ways not. Everyone was extremely careful of the bottomless chasm that formed between the Xiaolin Dragons and the participants of the showdown.
"Gong Yi Tan Pai!" they shouted. The area quickly became dark. Out of nowhere came shouts of "Emerald Steed!" "Monkey Staff!" and "Ying-Yang Yo-Yo!" They also heard unholy screaming as Omi fell. As they wondered why he didn't just use the Ying-Yang Yo-Yo, they realized that Rioss had taken it from the young monk.
The world returned to how it was before, except that it was night now. Rioss held the Emerald Steed, Monkey Staff, Ox's Horn, Sapphire Dragon, and Ying-Yang Yo-Yo. He shouted out "Jade Swine!" and teleported away. The Dragons climbed back down the mountain, extremely sad.
Later that Night
The Xiaolin Dragons looked at Dojo expectantly. "So, do you remember what the last one is?" asked Raimundo. They all figured it out, but they were expecting Dojo to tell them. "Yeah, it's the Serpent's Tail alright. Either that, or he's got Wuya on his side."
Omi looked confused. "What is the life story he told Jack Spicer? It is obviously a most dangerous tale of ancient wars for him to expect Jack Spicer to join us! I, as the greatest Xiaolin Dragon, will be the first to find out!"
The other three glared at Dojo, who quickly broke under pressure. "Okay, okay! I'll tell you about Rioss. But I can't tell you everything because my memory got wiped several times!"
