Chapter 2: The Monkey Amulet
"So, now what?" Jack asked. At that exact moment, Wuya's eyes lit up.
"A new Shen Gong Wu has revealed itself! The Monkey Amulet," Wuya responded. "Alone, it allows the wearer to transform into any shape… but when combined with the Monkey Staff, it gives the holder ultimate monkey power!"
"Awesome!" Jack shouted. He grabbed the Monkey Staff from the nearby table. Wuya stared at him.
"Is that the only Shen Gong Wu you have?" she asked.
"I'm not sure… I kinda lost the key to my cabinet."
"You didn't trade all your Shen Gong Wu for robot parts AGAIN, did you?"
"Of course not! I'm not that stupid!"
"Could've fooled me." At this, Jack began screeching at her. "Be quiet, monkey boy. Save your energy for fighting the monks."
"Oh… right." Jack picked a bug out of his hair, ate it, and then jumped into his jet car. He flew off towards the jungle, completely forgetting about his time machine.
"The amulet is in there," Dojo said. He was pointing at a giant stone temple with monkeys engraved all around the door.
"I bet Jack would fit right in here," Raimundo commented.
"So… how do we get in?" Clay asked. Nobody had an answer.
"I know!" Jack shouted from above. The monks moved out of the way as Jack's robots fired lasers continuously at the door. When the smoke cleared, nothing had happened. Jack was dumbstruck… at least, more so than usual.
"If that did not open it, then what will?" Omi wondered.
"It looks like you could use some help," said a very distinguished voice. Out of the shadows came Monkey Fist, his army of monkey ninjas following after him. Jack jumped out of his jet car and landed in front of Monkey Fist.
"Whoah whoah whoah. Just who are you?" he asked, baring his teeth and growling quietly.
"I am Lord Monkey Fist, and I seek the Monkey Amulet."
"Too bad! I already called it!" Jack screeched.
"No one is getting that Shen Gong Wu except us!" Omi declared. Meanwhile, Kimiko was doing a web search on Monkey Fist.
"I'm afraid that none of you have what it takes to get into the mystical monkey temple," Monkey Fist stated plainly.
"And you do?" Rai asked mockingly.
"Actually… yes." With that, Monkey Fist jumped over their heads, landing in front of the door. He put his hand against the door, causing it to glow with a soft golden aura. The door rose up into the temple.
Omi's eyes grew wide. "How did you do that?"
"It's called mystical monkey power, which I'm afraid none of you have experienced. Monkey ninjas, keep them busy for me." He walked into the temple, and his minions blocked the doorway.
"Oh no you don't! Jackbots, attack!" Jack shouted. A chaotic battle ensued between the monkey ninjas, Jack's robots, and the Xiaolin warriors. Monkey Fist was walking towards the Monkey Amulet, which was at the end of a long corridor.
"Eye of Dashi, wind!" Raimundo shouted. He blasted the monkey ninjas out of the way, following Monkey Fist down the corridor. Jack leapt through the doorway before the monkey ninjas could stop him. All three of them reached the end of the corridor at the same time, causing the amulet to glow.
"Looks like it's time for a Xiaolin Trio!" Raimundo declared.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Kim was in bed when the Kimmunicator beeped. She forced herself to get out of bed and answer it.
"What's the Sitch?" she asked, suppressing a yawn.
"Sorry about calling so late, but the Xiaolin warriors need your help. Apparently, Monkey Fist is giving them trouble."
"Alright… I'll get Ron…" Kim turned off the Kimmunicator and got ready for a trip. When she left her house, Dojo was waiting outside.
"Guys… we have a problem," Rai said. "Monkey dude over here doesn't have any Shen Gong Wu to wager." There was a flash above them, and the Dice of Dashi fell into Monkey Fist's hand. Jack stared at the dice in awe.
"What… you didn't think they would stay gone, did you?" Raimundo asked Jack.
"That's one problem taken care of," Monkey Fist interrupted. "Now the question is, what will you two wager?"
"I wager the Monkey Staff!"
"I wager the Eye of Dashi!"
"Good. Now, what's the challenge?"
"Last man standing?" Raimundo suggested.
"Works for me," said Jack. "Let's go… Xiaolin Showdown!"
After a spectacular light show, they were on a rock platform in the middle of space. Floating around them were monkey heads made of stone. Omi, Clay, and Kimiko were standing on one such floating head, watching the battle.
"Gong Yi Tan Pi!" all three warriors shouted. "Monkey Staff!" Jack shouted. He jumped to one of the nearby heads. Monkey Fist lunged at Raimundo, but Rai was able to dodge. Monkey Fist fell off the edge of the platform and landed on a monkey head.
"Those monks are good, but they can't stand up to the power of Tai Shing Pek Kwar! Dice of Dashi!" Monkey Fist threw the dice into the air and they landed on the monkey head. Its eyes began to glow, and it floated up in front of Raimundo.
"What the…?" Raimundo asked. The statue shot eye beams at him, knocking him to the ground. He disappeared in a flash of light.
"Raimundo has lost!" Omi shouted.
"And now for the monkey," Monkey Fist said, looking at Jack. "Eye of Dashi!"
Jack screeched and jumped out of the way of the lightning, destroying the monkey head that he was just on. Monkey Fist kept firing lightning at him until he got worn out. Then, Monkey Fist moved in for the victory.
At that moment, Dojo arrived with Kim and Ron on his back.
"We're too late!" Kim exclaimed.
"That's right!" Monkey Fist shouted. He kicked Jack off the platform, causing the landscape to go back to normal. The Monkey Amulet and the Eye of Dashi were around Monkey Fist's neck; the Monkey Staff and the Dice of Dashi in either of his hands. "Ultimate monkey power is mine!" he shouted.
"I don't think so!" Kim shouted. She jumped at him, but he teleported out of the way. She spun in the air and hit the ground. Monkey Fist appeared behind her.
"You can't possibly beat me now, Kim Possible!" he declared.
"Ah man… that is so cool!" Jack shouted.
"Then why did you fail?" asked Wuya with lightning in her eyes.
"Don't worry… I can fix this…" Jack snuck up behind Monkey Fist and grabbed him around the neck.
"What are you doing, you idiot?" Monkey Fist shouted.
"Taking back my Monkey Staff!" Jack grabbed the Monkey Staff and tried to pull it away from Monkey Fist. Ron and the monks just watched him.
"Gah… this is pointless! Monkey Amulet!" Monkey Fist shouted. With that, he and Jack were gone.
Omi stared at the spot where Monkey Fist had been. "This does not instill confidence."
