Chapter 22: Black Beetle
"Which scroll has the next piece?" asked Omi. "I told them to you in order. Katnappe has the next Scroll!"
They arrived outside of Katnappe's Kitty Palace in no time. She was reluctant to give over her Scroll until omi threatened to use the Orb of Tornami on her kittens. She quickly gave over her Scroll and sicced her kittens on the Xiaolin Dragons. They barely escaped in the Silver Manta Ray before hearing Jack taunt her over the phone which had recently been installed. They gaped as Jack revealed to her that they were related and she cried in horror.
"So, where is the next map piece?"
Jack read the scroll. "It says, 'Beware the river of raging death, of teeth most painful.' I don't like the sound of that!"
Checking with Kimiko, they tried to figure out what river could be mentioned. "What was the clue for the first one?" asked Kimiko.
"The clue wa, 'It touches the sky, the highest of its kind, a source of power." Mount Kilimanjaro was considered important by the Africans. The mountain it was on was actually Mount Everest. That would explain why it said the highest of it's kind, but a river with teeth is different."
"I've been thinking, and Raimundo agrees that it might be the Nile River. It has lots of crocodiles and hippos, so the teeth part makes sense."
They turned the Silver Manta Ray towards home before Omi hit a switch that sent it to the temple. "I need to get something from the temple," said Omi. When they got there, he took out the Black Beetle, Shengaroo, Crouching Cougar, and Tunnel Armadillo. He then went to the library where Dojo, Raimundo, and Kimiko were looking for all sorts of information. Omi looked at a map on the wall, nodded, and left the temple grounds. Jack and Clay ran after him, shouting "Where are you going?" and "What exactly did you need to get?"
He got to the river that fed the ornamental creek in the temple and shouted "Black Beetle!" He rode the boat down the river and fished out a small piece of paper. It was the second map piece!
"It's the Southern Hemisphere!" yelled Raimundo when he saw it. He really didn't like how each piece was very obscure. The puzzle made no sense to him!
During this, in the Ancient Cave
Racing across the crumbling bridge maze, Rioss thought of the pain caused by the sun's constant burning. He really didn't like the sun. Why he thought of that was a complete mystery to him, but he did. It was then that he decided to use the Lunar Locket to give himself a vacation once he was done in the Ancient Cave. Thinking this took longer than it did to put the Emerald Steed in its place and walk across the newly created regular bridge. You know, the kind that don't collapse behind you.
AN: I started this after seeing 'Dangerous Minds' but before seeing 'Screams of the Siren.' I'm using it as having a second power.
