Chapter Three: A New Power Needed
Sabini smashed down Jack Spicer's front door. He stormed down to Jack's lab and picked up a pitifully small pile of Shen Gong Wu. Jack jumped out from under his desk. "Please don't take those. All I have left besides for those is the Tunnel Armadillo- oops" Sabini reached into Jack's pocket and drew out the last Wu. "Sabini, I challenge you to a- hey! Where a re you going?" Sabini ignored Jack and flew out of the window. "Hey!" Incidents like these had been happening for weeks, to both the Xiaolin and Heylin. Chang had his hands on sixty-eight of the sixty-nine active Shen Gong Wu, including the Shung Bracelet, which made the user incredibly strong, the Shaman's Talisman, which healed injuries, and the Hung Hairclip, which allowed the user to fire energy beams from their eyes. All the poor Wudai Warriors had left was a measly Sun-Chi Lantern. Mala Mala Jong was invincible because he could become the Nefarious Nine, Sabini was invincible because he had the Monarch Wings, the Heylin Plant was invincible because it had the Moonstone Locust, and Chang was invincible because he had them with the Zing Zam Bone, and because he had the Cloud Capsule combined with his own element.
The Wudai Warriors were practicing harder than ever. "Wudai Orion Formation!" "Wudai Neptune, Water!" "Wudai Mars, Fire!" "Wudai Star, Wind!" "Wudai Crater, Earth!" Together, the monks managed to crumble a 60-foot tall steel tower. Dojo came up. "Hey. Just thought you might want to know the Ocean Capsule just activated." "Is it worth wagering our last Wu in a showdown?" Kimiko asked. "It could turn the tide of the entire battle." Dojo answered. " If Omi uses it with his element, that is."
On the beaches of sunny San Diego, California, Chang sat waiting, with a grin. Dojo landed and shrunk. "Uh-oh" Clay jumped down to the shore where on top of a dug-up pile sat a glowing ellipse. "Okay, you rustler, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. My Sun Chi Lantern against your-" "Save it, cowboy. I decline. I have no interest in that trinket. Why would I want to control waves? But, just in case, I better keep this! Tangle Web Comb! Lightning!" The electrically charged ropes wrapped themselves around Omi. He screamed in pain. "Ruby of Ramses!" He brought Omi towards him. "Yinyang Yo-Yo!" He threw Omi into the portal. The Yinyang realm had become Chang's prison. He had contained Jack, Wuya, Hannibal Bean, Pandabubba, Catnappĕ, Tabbimura, Jack's army of robots, and many others, including the entire U.N., several world governments, and Bush. Bush had his own cage. " Hahaha! So long, Xiaolin losers. Hey, that actually has a nice ring to it. What do you know? Golden Tiger Claws! Lightning!" "That's really too bad, but we're going straight into the next one. The Sky Capsule!"
The same thing happened. Raimundo was captured. Then the Soil Capsule activated, and Clay was captured. Finally, the Volcano Capsule activated. "Step on it, Dojo," Kimiko yelled. " Oh no, girl, I'm getting you home. You're our last Wudai Warrior. We need you." "In that case, take me to Mt. Everest. That's where Chang has his base. He'll be expecting us to go after the Wu, so we can make off with some of his!"
However, there was still a welcoming committee. Kimiko snuck in, and found a small room in the cave. There was an enormous pile of Shen Gong Wu. In fact, every Wu was there besides for the ones in Mala Mala Jong, the Moonstone Locust, the Mosaic Scale, The Monarch Wings, the Changing Chopsticks, the Reversing Mirror, the Zing Zam Bone, the Tangle Web Comb, the Ruby of Ramses, the, the Golden Tiger Claws, and the Cloud Capsule. Everything else was there, even the Volcano Capsule, but Kimiko didn't think much of it. She was almost done sacking them and tying them onto Dojo, and she was doing inventory on the last few. Okay, the Lotus Twister, the Yinyang Yo-Yo, the Thorn of Thunderbolt, and last but not least, the Helmet of- the Helmet of Jong? Why's that…uh oh." "Oh, so you finally noticed," Chang said. Rocks went flying everywhere as Mala Mala Jong tore out of the Earth. He grabbed the sack as Kimiko did. "Mala Mala Jong, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Explosion. We each wager four Wu over this entire sack. You in?" "He can't talk." Chang replied for him. Kimiko sorted through the sack. She pulled out the Tongue of Saiping and tossed it to Jong. "I accept," he said in a growly voice. "The game is, first to say 'stop' looses." "Okay," Kimiko said, "I wager my Ocean, Soil, and Sky Capsules, and my Sun Chi Lantern, against your Chain of the Nine Dragons, your Ring of the Nine Dragons, your Tongue of Saiping, and your Heart of Jong!" "I accept!"
"GONG YI TAMPAI!"
Ooh. Another cliffhanger ending! What a-
