Chapter 3
The next day, Rai woke up to find that everyone had eaten breakfast without him when he saw all of the dirty plates in the sink, waiting to be washed. How come he never got up on time?
"Mornin' partner. You sleep good?" asked a voice from behind him.
Rai whirled around to see that Clay was leaning against one of the pillars in the hall and tipping his ten gallon hat.
Raimundo felt a blast of fire, something burning, almost urging feeling inside his chest when he took a look at Clay.
A tight knot tied in his heart and worked its way up to his throat. He had never felt this way before! Especially around Clay!
Speaking of Clay…
"Hey, uh…Clay? Sorry about yesterday….I just had a weird thought…"
Clay smiled.
"Aw, there's nothing for ya'll to apologize for. Everyone has their moments. Sure you don't wanna talk 'bout it?"
"No, it's ok. Thanks anyway though."
Clay shrugged. "No problem."
Now it was Rai's turn to smile. He was silently thankful that Clay wasn't as nosy as Kimiko or Omi.
"Gonna eat breakfast soon, Rai?"
Oh yeah! Breakfast! Rai forgot all about breakfast. But come to think of it…he wasn't really hungry at all.
"I don't wanna. Where are Kimiko and Omi? We have to do the dishes!"
"Kimiko went back to Japan for her cousin's birthday and Omi's at a super hard training course in the mountains. They'll both be gone for a couple of days."
Without knowing why, Rai felt an incredibly strong wave of happiness wash away the anxious feelings he had. Alone for two days with Clay! He was mentally jumping for joy…for no reason at all.
"Hey guys! Get over here! I'm sensing a new Sheng Gong Wu!" said Dojo, slithering down the halls and carrying the giant Wu scroll.
"It's called The Spiral of Demons."
As Dojo opened the scroll, two black stick figures stood next to each other. One of them had the circle-shaped wu with a spiral in the middle and out came another stick figure, with red eyes!
"Whoever possesses The Spiral of Demons has the power to create evil copies of whomever they choose. It can be most dangerous in the wrong hands!"
Rai studied the image of the wu in the scroll well. Somehow it looked familiar…
"Well, partners, let's get a move on before the Heylin side finds it first!"
Rai and Dojo nodded as Dojo went from a 20 inch gecko to a 30 foot dragon.
"Come on guys! Hop on!"
The two warriors swung their legs over Dojo's body as they soared into the sky. Clay sat more to Dojo's neck, while Rai was right in the center. He didn't want to awe at his friend with him noticing.
Just looking at Clay was like a new addiction. He couldn't take his eyes off him…
It was a burst of fire burning inside that he had to cool off. And the only way he could do that was by looking at Clay.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!
Rai was snapped out of his daydreams when Dojo announced their arrival.
"Here we are, kids. The Amazon rainforest."
We're in Brazil?
Dojo was flying over an ocean of green trees, humid air swirling in the tree tops. Mist erased some of the trees; colorful birds flew with Dojo, Clay and Rai gazing at their beauty and descended back into the rainforest. A huge river washed up against the shore of the forest and made a streak of blue across the seemingly endless green.
Rai savored the few seconds of flying over his home country. The brilliant burning sun on his body and the wind blowing in his face. He held his arms out and closed his eyes as he flew with his element. Paradise…
"Feel at home, partner?"
Once again Rai was brought back in the real world by the sound of Clay's majestic voice.
Rai nodded as they flew down on the river bank.
When they got off Dojo, Clay and Rai took a moment to see the other side of the river…to stare at the wonderful landscape that Rai called home.
Clay could hear Rai's unsteady breathing of exhilaration and delight and he smiled.
"Can hardly blame ya'll for bein' anxious. It's really gorgeous."
They both stood in silence to stare at the colorful, amazing scenes of nature…the birds calling throughout the sky….the sound of the breezes on the leaves, making a fine rustling sound…the sound of the Wind and the Earth.
"Hey look! It's the Xiaolin Losers!"
Both dragons whirled around (with Dojo under Clay's hat) to find their nemesis on his helipack, Jack Spicer with his infamous haurd of Jack-bots behind him.
"Don't stand there and gawk, boy! Get the Sheng Gong Wu before those annoying pests!" nagged Wuya.
The floating purple ghost flew by the shoulder of Jack as he commanded his robots to do his 'evil' bidding of getting rid of Clay and Rai.
"JACK- BOTS! ATTACK!"
As the hunks of metal approached the two dragons, they were already prepared to strike.
"SYSMIC KICK! EARTH!" shouted Clay, thrusting his foot into the ground destroying the many Jack-Bots that flew down to terminate them.
"TYPHOON BOOM! WIND!"
A tornado rose from the palms of Rai's hands when he clapped them together, sending the Jack-Bots to a scrap pile down below.
"You may as well give up Spicer! You'll never- huh?"
Rai stopped talking immediately when he saw his medallion glowing. Brilliant blasts of golden color created a strong aura of energy and the swirl in the middle started to spin rapidly, forming the image of a skull in the center.
Everyone was speechless. Clay tipped his hat back so he could see with both eyes and Jack and Wuya just stared in awe and disbelief as Rai declared:
"The…The Spiral of Demons!"
