Chapter 7- A Fading Light
Master Fung stood at the edge of Raimundo's bed, watching with sadness in his eyes as the boy just laid there, silently staring, devoid of any emotion.
He sighed wishing there was more he could do but alas, it was up to the Xiaolin apprentices now.
He knew they wouldn't let Raimundo down but still he couldn't help but hope they'd do it soon.
Omi jumped into the race while WuYa delicately glided into the air and over the tangle of branches and pits in the road. WuYa would win at this rate.
"Shard of lightening!" Omi yelled out and watched in awe as everything around him slowed to a standstill. It felt as though someone had just hit the pause button and everything was frozen in time except for him.
He smiled and began to run to the end of the road, passing WuYa who had a most displeased look on her face.
He might just win this!
Raimundo was floating…at least it felt like it. He'd been drifting for a long time but when he tried to get up and have a look around he was blasted with shocks of pain coursing through out his whole being.
He was trapped in this black abyss with no idea where he was or what was going on. His only clue was a ball of light above him and he had a feeling that was where he was supposed to be but he had no idea on how to get there, and when he tried, the pain came back and he sunk further down and away from the light.
Voices surrounded him as he tried to focus but each time he was driven away from concentration by memories of his past…images of the horrors he'd had to face as a child, screams of his parents, his elder sisters pleas for her abuser to stop…the cracking of his own ribs as he was beaten to near death.
He began hyperventilating as he slowly lost his mind.
"Some one…make it…stop…" he whispered urgently as he began to lose control…
"Please! MAKE IT STOP!"
Jack gasped in shock. Images flashed past his eyes like a flickering film, but what made him gasp, was what was on the film; his real parents.
"Mom?" he asked, noting how weak his own voice sounded, "Dad?" a blonde haired young lady smiled at him, she had the same deep black eyes as Jack and a smile that could rival his any day of the week.
"How's my Jacky waky?" she asked in a mother-talking-to-a-baby voice.
His father stood behind his mother and smiled proudly at him, his flaming hair glinted in the sunlight and his moustache wriggled as he spoke;
"He's gonna make daddy proud some day…hell he already has!" he gushed…
Jack could not believe what he was seeing…here was his real parent's talking to him when he was little. His eyes watered as he remembered their faces, each and every detail was photographically stored in his head.
Then the scenery changed and he found himself alone on the floor of a very big crater. He remembered what happened here. His house had been blown to bits and his parents had died protecting him.
He whimpered at the memory and watched as the film replayed over and over again.
"MAKE IT STOP!"
Omi was just reaching the finish line when a loud rumble was heard. Suddenly the finish line disappeared the ground beneath him split apart. From the depths below a low growl was heard…
"Oh no…" he quivered and stepped back a few paces. He was not looking forward to meeting the being who was making that sound. He frantically searched for the finishing line and WuYa who had just landed on the floor. She was apparently being forced to battle this creature too judging by the look on her face.
Omi took on a defending stance and prepared to do battle with whatever the being was.
Dojo groaned realising what was happening.
"Oh no, not this!" he yelped as he watched from the brim of Clays hat.
"What is it dojo?" Kimiko asked feeling her stomach clench. If Omi lost this showdown the she could lose Raimundo forever.
"Well I just realised that the person who beats this beast will win….beating the beast is the finish line!"
Omi watched in sheer dread as the floor gave on more lurching crack…then a low growl sounded from under the asphalt. It was waiting; scoping the area out, judging what was going on.
Both WuYa and Omi were silent; still as statues, anxious to get this over with.
The ground shook slightly, shivering beneath their feet, another moan, and silence.
It stayed that way for another 10 minutes before WuYa grew impatient. She began to silently simmer before yelling out;
"Just come out already!" but before she could finish that sentence the ground exploded in a blast of rock and pavement. A terrifying screechy roar deafened the participants. Omi ducked down to limit the damage to his body from the falling rock. When he looked up he almost died in shock.
There towering above him was a gigantic, fierce serpent with large fangs that looked ripe with poison.
"This may take a while."
Rai; get it off!
Zero; but it suits you!
Rai; Gah!
Zero; o.O' erm… anyways R&R people!
