dl-sPirit: Sorry it took so long! But my new muses came, and Rai's - (is cut off as an axe narrowly misses her head) AH! RAI! RUN! (begins running)

Raimundo: Get back here!

dl-sPirit: No way! (sees Cosmo) COSMO! I WISH RAI WAS BACK TO NORMAL!

Cosmo: (very scared) Ok! (grants wish)

Raimundo: (turns back into his usual style, holding the axe) YES! (axe vanishes) NO! (falls to ground)

Ferret: Glad that's over. I'll do the disclaimer. dl-sPirit doesn't own Green Day (Rai forgot that last time!), she doesn't own Xiaolin Showdown, and she doesn't own the episodes that some of the lines came from.

Jack: (returns) YES! It's safe!

Omi: Now for the reviews!

To Kosmic: Raimundo: Even if I was still a fairy, dl-sPirit wouldn't let me. It'd ruin the story. -.- Stupid excuses...

To firewu: Ferret: Thank you!

To SaphireStars: dl-sPirit: It wouldn't fit into this fic, but I might do a follow-up one-shot on that song. You know, to tie up any loose ends.

To Elemental-Zero: Jack: Yeah, with friends like these, who needs enemies? (rolls eyes) Well, dl-Spirit doesn't even HAVE a stereo.

Omi: She has an alarm clock that plays DCs!

Jack: Cds.

To Kaisa: Raimundo: uh, thanks? (backs away) And, uh, sorry about your writer's block. dl-sPirit wants to help, but she's having trouble with just THIS one!

To shadow/ Satoshi Silver Syoran/ BeyMistress05: Cosmo: Here you go!

To Chaseforever/ satoshi's friend: Ferret: Thank you!

To distant6: dl-sPirit: Thanks...I think. Don't hunt me down, I have 400 daggers and I sleep with a sword under my pillow. AND I STICK TO MY DECISION!

Cosmo: What?

dl-sPirit: Never mind. Well, here's the chapter.

Kimiko looked around the forest that Dojo had brought them to. Her headache had vanished barely minutes ago - which worried her. She figured that it had been her connection to Rai, and someone had cut it off, but who? And how? More importantly, why? Unfortunately, she had to direct most of her attention to finding the Amulet of the Moon. Based on Dojo's description - star-shaped with a small pentagram on it, silver, hanging from a thin chain, hollow - in theory, it should've been easy to find. Much to everyone's dismay, the afternoon sun revealed nothing of the sort.

"Oh, this is most troubling," Omi lamented, "If we do not find the Amulet of the Moon, we will have let down Raimundo, Master Fung, and the entire universe! I do belive that about covers it."

"I'll say," Clay agreed, kicking a tree in frstration. The bad news was that the tree was hollow. The worse news was that the bark was unable to take the force of Clay's kick. Losing his balance, the texan fell through and landed on his face.

"Clay! Are you alright?" Omi asked, running over. Clay, pushing himself up, replied, "Yeah, lil' partner, I'm-" He stopped, giving a gasp of shock as he looked upwards. Hanging from a jagged piece of wood just below the top of the trunk was a silver star-shaped amulet on a thin silver chain. "I found it!" he cried.

"Thanks for the 411 on the wu, cowboy. Jack-bots, ATTACK!" ordered an all-too familiar voice. As the Jack-bots swooped down, Kimiko felt a sense of deja vu.

"Clay! Get the Amulet!" she shouted, smashing two Jack-bots. "Stop him!" Wuya commanded. Clay, thinking fast, pulled out a lasso and threw it around the Amulet. "Come along, lil' doggie!" he said, pulling hard and taking the Amulet off its resting place.

"Thorn of Thunderbolt!" Jack hollered, quickly pulling out the yellow shen-gon-wu and shooting a blast at Clay's rope. Of course, this caused the rope to be severed, and the Amulet seemingly hovered in midair for a second before falling. Clay jumped up to grab it. As he grabbed a point, the shen-gon-wu glowed. Jack had grabbed the chain as Clay touched it.

"Clay! I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! My Thorn of Thunderbolt against your Third-Arm Sash!" Jack quickly yelled. Clay groaned before replying, "Name your game." Out of all the shen-gon-wu Jack could've showdowned over, he chose this one?

"Hm...ah! Hide and Seek! This Amulet hides, and we gotta find it. First to find it wins!" Jack shot back, oblivious to Wuya smacking her face in exasperation. "I accept," Clay said simply. Throwing the shen-gon-wu up, they yelled, "Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!"

Almost instantly, everything, even the sky changed. It had grown dark, with only the full moon as a source of illumination. The trees grew larger, sprouting jagged branches and plunging most of the area into shadows. Only a few patches of ground were illuminated by moonlight. Clay's clothes changed into his armor.

Wuya groaned, knowing how Jack would react to the lack of light. Though Jack grew frightened, he swallowed his fear. There was no way he was going home empty-handed! And, with neither one backing down, they both yelled, "Gong Yi Tempai!" And the Showdown began.

Jack immediately activated his helipack and flew up above the trees, beginning his search. Clay meanwhile was earthbound and had to run through the darkness, dodging the tree trunks. Theevil boygenius felt confident that he could win. After all, he could fly! But, just in case, Jack pressed a button on his watch and summoned three Jack-bots. "Don't care how you do it, just make him gone!" Jack commanded, referring to Clay. "Yes, sir," replied one, and the robots flew after Clay.

Kimiko couldn't stand it. Perhaps if she let Jack know...

"Jack! Do you honestly have any idea what's going on with Rai?" she called. The gothic boy paused.

"Um, yeah, he changes into a dragon," he retorted. Kimiko slapped her face in exasperation. Did Jack think that she didn't know that already?

"Jack Spicer! If Raimundo is not helped, then the entire world will be in danger!" Omi yelled. That caught Jack's attention well. Kimiko added, "If Rai isn't cured, we're all dead!"

Jack frowned, thinking, before he finally replied, "How do I know you're not lying? I'll take my chances."At this, Jack continued flying, and everyone sweatdropped.

He's just goin' ta blow it off? ..I gotta find that Amulet! Clay thought desperately, pausing in a clearing. Looking up, he found three Jack-bots flying at him. "Third-Arm Sash - Earth!" he yelled. The tiny arm shot out, morphing into a huge stone fist and smashed two of the Jack-bots. The third one kept coming. "Seismic Kick, Earth!" he hollered, sending a huge rock at the lone robot. This suceeded in destroying it.

The texan leaned against a tree, looking at the full moon. It seemed to taunt, him, reminding him of Raimundo's situation. Then, he saw something - a tiny silver point sticking out of the moon. Wait a minute...

"Third-Arm Sash - Earth!" he yelled once more. The stone fist shot skyward, and hit the moon dead-center. It exploded in a brilliant display of color and light, forcing everyone to shield their eyes. Something shiny fell from the explosion, and Clay had the Third-Arm Sash grab it. It was the amulet of the Moon.

In a bright glow, everything returned to normal, the way it was before the Showdown. The sun was still high in the sky. "Way to go Clay! That was so cool!" Kimiko cheered, running over.

"Clay, you fought very well. If our lives were not at stake, I would compliment you on your performance," Omi added as Dojo grew to his 40-foot length. Clay nodded, saying, "Yeah, let's get a move on." As they got onto the green dragon, they heard Wuya shriek, "You lost two more shen-gon-wu!"

"Relax, the next one's mine," Jack retorted, flying away, "But, for now... I'm getting a Happy Meal."

Jack: A HAPPY Meal? I eat at Burger King!

Ferret: I thought it was funny.

Omi: Oh, yes, when Clay blew up the moon, this was a reference to (looks at notecard) 'Luigi's Mansion'.

Cosmo: That's a game she likes!

dl-sPirit: Guys, I have a tiny problem...CHAPTER 9 IS MISSING! (cries)

Raimundo: Uh, yeah, Chapter 9 was replaced by Chapter 8 and dl-sPirit doesn't really have another copy of it.

Ferret: If you have a copy, please e-mail it to her.

Cosmo: (trying to comfort dl-sPirit) Till then, review!
