Twelve Soul Dragon
By Gigawolf1
Chapter 24: Shengaroo
Kimiko put a cold cloth on Raimundo's head. He was still unconcious, though Jack had sent a message from his cousin's place that Raimundo had only gone into shock to protect himself from some sort of emotional trauma. "Whatever happened had to have been really bad" had been Jack's exact words. Kimiko checked his pocket and found that she had not watched the same movie over and over in vain.
A small piece of paper held notes made by Raimundo about the Twelve Soul Dragon.
'Two ways to defeat it? The Emporer Scorpion can't control it? The Sands of Time aren't safe? A third way could work? What? Oh my god! Rai knows where the Dragon is going to be formed!' thought Kimiko as she read his notes.
"Clay! Omi! Raimundo knew where the Twelve Soul Dragon is going to be formed! That must have been what shocked him so much!"
She looked around and noticed that Jack was back. Clay was in the Shengaroo, ready to go to the next piece of the map. "Don't ask what I had to give Megan to get her to give it up. It's too degrading," said Jack.
Clay then rode away in the Shengaroo to find the next Map Piece. "What does this scroll say?" asked Kimiko. "A fall of fear that a leap can reach," replied Omi.
They watched as Clay bounded up towards a cliff easily within visible distance of the Xiaolin Temple. They watched as he turned pale, grabbed the next piece of the map, and walked back. The distance from where the piece of the map was to where the others were was about 25 Shengaroo bounds away. Clay easily reached where they had started within a minute, considering he didn't have to take the widest path when walking.
Kimiko grabbed the piece and looked at it. It showed the Eastern Hemisphere with a circle somewhere in China. She had no idea why Clay was so pale, and continued to wonder along with Omi and Jack while Clay fainted in front of them.
It took Omi, Jack, and Master Fung to take Clay into the rooms. Jack had broken his back and several times Omi had dropped Clay and been smothered, almost suffocating. Kimiko didn't even try because she went in to check on Raimundo and get the room ready for Clay. Of course she knew nothing of what had happened in the two trying to carry Clay until Master Fung came along and asked what had happened. He then went outside and carried Clay with a finger holding him up. Jack had gaped while that had happened, but he was getting used to Master Fung being able to do almost anything.
Kimiko was highly concerned about Raimundo. She knew that Clay had the health of a horse, but she had no idea how long Raimundo could survive being unconcious. And besides, what they knew was vital to making sure that everyone survived. She was so focused on keeping everything going properly that she took no notice of Raimundo sitting up weakly.
"Where am I?" asked Raimundo. His head hurt, though he couldn't remember why. Kimiko gasped. "Raimundo! You're awake!" Raimundo looked at her as though she was crazy. She had run over to him and hugged him while he said "What's wrong Kimiko? You look as though it's 'End of the World' time again. It's not like the Twelve Soul Dragon's been created yet!"
Kimiko was laughing as she held him close. "What makes you think it hasn't been formed yet? What makes you think we're not hiding from it here in the Temple?"
Raimundo made his voice sinister as he said, "Because the Ancient Cave where the Twelve Soul Dragon will be formed is right below the Shen Gong Wu Vault!"
At that moment, about a kilometre below the Shen Gong Wu Vault, in the Ancient Cave
Rioss hummed happily as he placed the Diamond Jackrabbit in its rightful place. He had to become a cockroach and go through a portal using the Golden Tiger Claws. However, the Shen Gong Wu that housed the spirit of Mihira was reluctant in being placed where it was meant to be. As long as it took, Rioss got the Tiger Claws in their slot on the wall, one of the few Twelve that had a part on the wall rather than floor. He was approaching the last chamber, where the Heart of Jong must be placed...
