Chapter 9- What now?
The ride back to the temple was a quiet one indeed. Omi was unconscious and spiking a fever as Dojo raced the winds back home. They certainly hadn't banked on Omi losing, but that was Sod's Law…and now they had to let WuYa take over…
Kimiko couldn't let that happen. She hated the witch with a passion there was no way she was going to sit back and watch WuYa turn everything she loved to darkness. She couldn't…
But Omi had said there was a way around it…so she trusted Omi's judgement. But how was he supposed to tell them?
And what would Master Fung say? Not only had they let Raimundo down, but now the entire World will pay for their mistakes…
Tears streamed down her cheeks as the clouds whooshed by…
WuYa was ecstatic. She had both lights... and all the Shen Gong Wu…and Pandora's was right in front of her…now all she needed was Raimundo's and Jacks souls…
Well Jack's was easy enough, the souls were locked away inside their bodies and Jack was lying inert in the corner…she called him forward, and his body obeyed.
His eyes were the windows to his soul all she had to do was smash those windows and capture the soul. She smiled in excitement. She was going to enjoy this.
But she still needed Raimundo…she had Jack sit down next to Pandora's box; the box said to hold all of Earths horrid atrocities…aka her powers.
'I feel you Raimundo. Come to me, come to your queen.' but even as she called him she sensed his bindings, his entrapment. She'd have to fetch him herself.
She trailed her fingers lightly along the edges of the Box she'd assigned Jack to protect with his life…and purred.
"Soon, dearest, soon we will be united again…my precious powers…" she turned and walked away intent on finding Raimundo and finally becoming one with her old self.
Master Fung looked up as the sounds of a struggle echoed down the hall. It was coming from Raimundo's Partitioned space. A cold sweat broke out on his brow and he surged forward only to find Raimundo thrashing around on the bed trying to free himself from the bindings he had helped place on him earlier.
He cried out as though in pain, he twisted and screamed, bucked and yelled, thrashed and cried but still the ropes held. Master Fung had expected something like this to happen sooner or later but never had he ever expected it to be like this.
The ropes were burning the boy's wrists; he could smell the burning flesh and knew in that instant they couldn't keep him tied like this. It'd kill him. Master Fung quickly called out to his fellow monks to help him. They came with another means of keeping him in the temple; a small cage the size of a small wardrobe.
Master Fung nodded with approval and began untying Raimundo's wrists which were soaked with blood and burnt skin. He gripped the arm just above the wounded wrist and held him fast keeping Raimundo trapped. But as Master Fung waited for the other monks to finish untying the others, he felt a strange sensation occurring beneath his hand where he was holding Raimundo. He looked down and gasped as he watched Raimundo's flesh begin to singe beneath his hand.
'She's calling him!' he suddenly realised as the other monks finished with the last rope. But before they could carry him into the cage Raimundo thrashed out and broke free. He was up and out of the room within seconds and running full pelt to the gates outside in the courtyard.
He ran through them just as Dojo touched down. Kimiko bolted off and ran after him calling out to him as she ran. Clay handed an unconscious Omi over to a monk before giving chase himself with Master Fung not far behind him.
WuYa floated out of the cave entrance and found, to her delight, Raimundo running towards her. She hadn't even flown three meters. She landed on the rocky ground and waited for Raimundo to reach her. He came to her breathless but obedient and calm now that the pain had subsided.
WuYa smiled knowing that when she called, the pain it caused her victims was beyond any comprehension and it only eased when they heeded her and came to her. This is what Raimundo had done.
But so had the Dragons…
Deciding on her plan with a grin, she called on her Magick and watched as a large labyrinth rose from the rocky ground and effectively trapped the Xiaolin monks and Dragons.
Her plans were going so well! She grinned at their fallen faces as she led Raimundo inside. At last! She was so close!
Kimiko could not believe it! They had failed! And Raimundo was going to die if they didn't help him soon!
"GRRRR!" she yelled out and flung her arms out to her sides…she was aware of the smell of smoke and a warm feeling in her hands but was too wound up to care. But when she did open her eyes she found two smouldering holes in the walls where her hands had aimed…
Then Omi's words hit her…"You should know I have a way around your wager…"
She suddenly clicked and a small idea hit her hard. She smiled as the hope returned to her with a flourish. Maybe…just maybe all was not lost…
WuYa called on Jacks 'Darkness' and stood before the large wooden Chest that defied all lock pickers and axes such was the spell that was cast upon it by Dashi years ago…she called Jack forward and placed the 'Darkness' in her descendant's hands.
This was going to cause a big explosion…something she didn't want to get caught in. She backed away and took Raimundo with her, he needed to stay alive for the next bit but Jack…he was disposable, after all this was what she had needed him for.
"Place it on the lock…" she whispered. Jacks hands slowly placed the ball of darkness on the lock and slowly a bright light filled the chamber…
BOOM!
Clay looked up and gasped as smoke began pouring out of the caves entrance.
"No!" he denied it! He surged forward and planted a mighty punch on the wall in front of him. His thought were immediately of Raimundo and how there was no way he could've escaped whatever happened in there.
But then he realised the wall was cracking. Experimentally he gave it a slight push and the whole thing crumbled. An idea struck him and he surged forward. His hope had returned…he may get to Raimundo yet.
If he was still alive…
