Chapter 19: Puzzle of Blood

Dojo shuddered as the Xiaolin Dragons, now temporarily including Jack Spicer, watched a video. "Guys, we got one of the most powerful Shen Gong Wu ever seen! With this thing Wuya can be stopped easily!"

Jack got to the Scroll first. He looked briefly before throwing away the scroll and saying, "Ya right!'

Kimiko caught the Scroll and opened it. "It's called the Puzzle of Blood! It can be used to trap anyone inside of it, making them... It turns them into a ghost!"

The Xiaolin Dragons, not including Jack or Dojo, gasped. Dojo looked for a place to hide while Jack just yawned and said, "Yeah, I knew that already. Rioss used it to capture Wuya."

Everyone who gasped earlier gasped again. "Well if you knew about it why didn't you tell us?" asked Clay. They all looked at Jack, who was staring at Dojo.

"Well, Dojo should know. After all, he was nearby when the Shen Gong Wu were created! Well, according to Rioss, anyway." Raimundo stared at Jack disbelievingly. "Why don't you tell us what Rioss said to you, anyway?" asked Kimiko.

Jack sat down on the floor while the others gathered around him. He reached over and grabbed Dojo, forcing him into the middle of the circle.

"What I am about to tell you will make you shocked and amazed. Believe it or not, I screamed when I realized what this story meant, and you will too. Years ago, a lowly blacksmith in a village was approached by a Heylin Witch. She asked him to make her objects of immense power. He tried to, but could only make normal objects. So, he came to the Xiaolin Temple, where he met the ancient keepers of incredible powers. From all around the world the keepers of these powers came to the temple. Guys like Tebigong, Jong, Khumbira, and whatever other names you can think of from the Shen Gong Wu. They transfered their powers to the Shen Gong Wu, since their powers caused problems. The Witch was so grateful, they had a kid. The guy got an apprentice, and he got together with the Witch's daughter. The Witch's Daughter and the Monk's Apprentice got together and had a kid. The kid was Chase Young. The Witch had a thing called the Heylin Curse, which forces someone to invariably turn evil, though it skips a generation. Things started to go downhill when the Apprentice used the Reversing Mirror against the Goblet Dragon, which is now known as the Sapphire Dragon for that reason. Then the Witch tried to turn her husband to evil, which he refused to do. The apprentice ran away and froze himself, the Witch's Daughter was imprisoned in a forgotten Shen Gong Wu, and Wuya was stuck in the puzzle box."

Everyone in the room was gaping at what Jack had said. Raimundo was the first to respond. "How do you know so much?"

Jack shrugged and said, "I tapped my conversation with Rioss. I tried memorizing them for days before being asked to come here. I left out the screaming, the names, the other screaming, the fact that Dojo went berserk, the rest of the screaming, and the fact that Mala-Mala Jong was only on the rampage for a few minutes before someone used the Emperor Scorpion on him."

"What do you mean when you say you left out some names?" asked Kimiko suspiciously.

"Simple. Dashi started out as a Blacksmith. Chase Young had many kids, and Wuya was his grandma. Those kids spread all over the world, and their descendents have a nasty habit of finding Shen Gong Wu."

Everyone in the room screamed in mental panic.

Meanwhile, in the Ancient Cave

'The Ruby Rooster is useful for flying, but mainly for turning things to ruby,' thought Rioss. He used it to turn the stone ahead of him to solid ruby, which was then parted by the special power of the Ruby Rooster. It revealed the placement hole for the small statue. Putting it in, Rioss dashed out of the area before the ruby became the same stone it was before. He then began for the next chamber...
