Chapter Four: A Short Obituary (But whose is it?)
The cave's exit closed off. Kimiko and Mala Mala Jong were lowered into a pit, as Chang watched from above. "I've got some very bad news for both of you, but I'll let it be a surprise for you." "Ring of the Nine Dragons!" Jong separated himself into the Nefarious Nine. Kimiko left up for a jump kick, pretending to forget that Jong had a body of steel. Jong was fooled and stopped to brace himself. But at the last moment, Kimiko changed her footing and rebounded off of Jong's shoulder. She went straight up into the air.
For those of you who hate cheesy stuff, skip the next paragraph. Seriously. I would skip it too, if I weren't writing it.
When Kimiko was at the climax of her jump, she yelled "Sun Chi Lantern! Fire!" The lantern flashed brightly for a second. "What did you do?" Chang shouted. "Unfortunately for you, combined with my element, the Sun Chi Lantern allows me to combine my chi with the chi of everyone whose fire buns in my heart. Too bad for you, isn't it." "Uh-oh."
"Sky Capsule! Wind!" A huge tornado appeared and picked up two of the Jongs and smashed them together into one. "Soil Capsule! Earth!" The Earth rose up around that Jong and three others, and they were all smashed together. Dots appeared on Kimiko's forehead. "OCEAN CAPSULE! WATER!" The entire cave was suddenly filled with water, except for a bubble around Kimiko. Whirlpools were everywhere. The Mala Mala Jong was combined with the other one, two, three, four copies. The water drained from the cave. Only one form of Jong was left, dizzy on the ground. "Wudai Ursa Chi Transfer! Wudai Sun! Fire!" An immeasurably powerful beam of plasma fire crashed down onto Jong. Right before it hit him, he whimpered, "Stop," but it was too late. The beam hit him and tore him to pieces.
The showdown disappeared. The various Shen Gong Wu that Mala Mala Jong was composed of were strewn across the floor of the cave. They were all in pretty good shape, except the Heart of Jong was cracked in half. "Nothing the Hidoku Mouse can't fix," Kimiko said with a smile. She pulled out the Hidoku Mouse from the sack and fixed it. Then she gathered all the Wu, and she noted that they were all there except for the Eye of Dashi, and Chang was gone. She put them all into the bulging sack and threw it over her shoulder. Dojo was still outside when she left the cave. "You don't know what you just missed. To the temple! Dojo? Dojo!"
What has happened to Dojo? Is he dead? (No) Oh, I think he is. (Well, you're wrong) I am so not. (Well, find out in the next exciting chapter, probably longer than this one.)
