can you imagine how overjoyed i was when i saw the reviews i got? i was so happy, i decided to put the next part here right away. :-D I took some advice and now anonymous reviews can be posted.

so i'd like to give a big thanks (along with a big hug, lol) to Yume Keki, animeang3l7, Cweek, Griffin kid and Kuragari no Tenshi for the wonderful reviews.

and Kimiko's attitude to Rai is just going up and down throughout the story. sometimes she's being all nice and friendly, and sometimes she's being frustrated and annoyed. so... yeah.

and i know i really need a better summary, but my mind is failing me (lol ') so if anyone has any suggestions on that matter, feel free to help, because i could really use it.

This chapter is a little weird (maybe...) and i think i made a mistake in when this takes place, because Wuya is already back with Jack, so it may take place a little later in the season so it all fits.

And of course, i do not own Xiaolin Showdown, but i do own the Red Robin.

enough talking, let us get on with the story.

They were in the middle of no where — or that's what Raimundo thought. Dojo had just landed in a huge meadow. Everything was eerily quiet, there wasn't even a breeze rustling the long blades of grass.

"So what does this Wu look like?" Clay asked Dojo. He straightened his hat and looked around, but he didn't see anything that looked like it might be a Shen Gong Wu.

"It looks like it sounds. Red. Robin. Kinda looks like it's made out of wood. 'Bout the size of your hand…" Dojo stopped, trying to remember details, but it was such a long time ago when he had hid all of the Shen Gong Wu with Grandmaster Dashi.

Suddenly, the four dragons in training heard a whirring noise.

"Well if it isn't the Xiaolin losers!" Jack Spicer said as he flew in, the ghost of Wuya trailing behind him. Jack gave an evil laugh. "The Red Robin is mine!" he said as he dove to where he had obviously seen the Red Robin.

"No you don't!" Raimundo shouted as he flipped three times to where Jack was heading. Both Jack's and Raimundo's hand rested on what was the Red Robin.

The Red Robin glowed with a golden color, and Jack smiled evilly. "Raimundo, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"

"Name your game," Raimundo said evenly.

"Umm…" Jack looked around. Just then he spotted something. "Ah ha! Okay, we each stand on one of these rocks—" he gestured to two flat rocks beside them, each rock about the size of a big plate "—and we try to knock each other off. Whoever hits the ground first loses. My Tangle Web Comb against your Third Arm Sash."

"Okay."

"Ready?" Jack asked.

"XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" they shouted at the same time, and there was a loud boom as Raimundo and Jack took their places on the rocks, and the rocks rose high into the air, like flying disks. The others who weren't in the showdown got to sit on a lumpy rock floating a safe distance away from the other two rocks.

"Aren't you going to give me a pep talk?" Jack asked Wuya pitifully.

"Stop your whining!" Wuya shouted in that hoarse voice of hers.

"You call that a pep talk?" Jack questioned grumpily.

"Can we please just start?" Raimundo said impatiently.

Wuya eyed him for a second. "Ah, Raimundo." She floated over to him and looked him straight in the eye. "If I were flesh right now, I would kill you. When I become flesh again, I will kill you. Puny little warrior." She paused. "Why don't you come back and help me, Raimundo? Together we can rule the world, and get rid of whimpering fools like…Jack."

Raimundo stood perfectly still, the memories of his turn to Wuya's side coming back in a wave. It was he who betrayed his friends. It was he who let Wuya become flesh. It was he who had almost killed his friends. It was he who had almost doomed the world. Just because he was jealous and selfish and naïve. It was all his fault.

All my fault…

A cold breeze suddenly came to life. The sudden drop in temperature sent chills down everyone's spines — everyone's except for Wuya's (AN - since she doesnt really have a spine for one)and Raimundo's.

"Stop trying to turn him!" Jack yelled. "And stop treating me bad! Can't we get this party started already!"

"It's all your fault, Raimundo," Wuya whispered, low enough for only Raimundo to hear. "After what you did, your friends will never trust you again. With me, you won't have to worry about that!"

Raimundo shook his head. "No," he replied, the word coming out in a harsh whisper as the breeze picked up into a swift wind.

"You were meant for evil. You must join me. Now."

"No!" Raimundo said violently, but still not above a whisper.

"Fine, stay with your 'friends'. But you know that they are not your friends anymore. They do not trust you anymore. What's a friendship without trust? It was you who betrayed them," Wuya exclaimed.

"Just shut up and get to your place, you old witch!" Raimundo yelled.

About ten feet away, the three Xiaolin Apprentices looked warily at Raimundo. The wind had just picked up again, and Kimiko's hair whipped around her face, and she was shivering uncontrollably. She was wearing a small tank top, because it was so hot out, but she hadn't expected a cold wind to just come along.

With one last look, Wuya flew through Raimundo and waited at her spot.

"Finally!" Jack shouted.

"GONG YI TAN PAI!" they yelled, and finally the showdown began.

Oh, this is going to be easy, Raimundo thought. "Third Arm Sash!" he called, and the sash went into action, grabbing at Jack's rock, trying to take it out from under him.

But Jack did the unexpected. His rock floated out of the way.

Hmm, Raimundo thought. How did he do that? He thought for a second.

Left! he thought, and his rock zipped left. Ah ha. He felt calmer now. He had gotten so worked up when Wuya was talking to him. All these feelings had filled him. Depression and despair, pain and anger.

But that didn't matter at the moment. He exhaled deeply, and the meadow grew silent again, the wind dying down.

"TANGLE WEB COMB!" Jack yelled fiercely as the Tangle Web Comb shot out many strings from the tips of its teeth, all of them heading for Raimundo.

Raimundo maneuvered his rock to the right, and the strings missed him. But that wasn't it. The strings turned back and shot towards him again.

He swerved his rock to the left quickly, the rock almost reaching the vertical position, and Raimundo was rather surprised when he still kept his balance. He sped his rock dangerously fast, making Kimiko's heart pound in her chest.

She was so afraid he was going to fall and lose the challenge. He could even get hurt if he wasn't careful.

"Go, Rai!" she found herself shouting.

Raimundo zipped behind Jack and was about to push him off with the Third Arm Sash.

But Jack turned around just in time and bumped his rock with Raimundo's.

The two rocks went crazy, flying every which way.

"Third Arm Sash!" Raimundo yelled again, and the little arm shot out like a bullet, hitting Jack and sending him falling to his doom — and Raimundo's victory. But just as Jack fell off, Raimundo fell off himself, for Jack's rock had once again crashed into his.

Falling.

Falling.

Falling.

Crash! Someone hit the ground.

"Aw, crap!" Jack exclaimed as he hit the ground, but luckily for him, he landed in a nice soft place in the grass.

The meadow returned to its regular form, but Raimundo kept falling, now weighed down by the three Shen Gong Wu that had appeared in his hands.

He dropped like a stone onto the ground, falling unconscious as Jack and Wuya flew away, and the Xiaolin Apprentices and Dojo came rushing over.

"Rai! RAI!" Kimiko said frantically as she shook Raimundo's limp form.

"Wha—" Raimundo mumbled woozily. He blinked a few times and looked at Kimiko. "Mom? Mom, is that you?"

Clay began to laugh loudly.

"I thought you were dead," Raimundo went on groggily. "Am I in heaven?"

Kimiko looked to Clay and Omi. "I think we should get him back to the temple."

"I agree with you on that," Dojo said firmly as the apprentices loaded Raimundo and the Shen Gong Wu on him.

Raimundo had fallen asleep, and Clay kept him from falling off.

"I didn't know Rai's mom was dead," Kimiko commented.

Clay shrugged. "I guess it was somethin' he didn't want to share." He paused. "We don't really know anything about Raimundo's life before he came to the temple."

"All I know is that Master Fung brought him there," Omi said. "Maybe we should ask him."

"Maybe," Kimiko agreed.

Clay carried Raimundo into the temple, Kimiko and Omi scurrying after him.

Clay lay Raimundo down on a bed, and the he saw Master Fung hurrying up to him.

"What happened?" he asked, looking over Raimundo carefully.

"Raimundo had a Xiaolin Showdown with Jack Spicer," Omi supplied. "He had a slight accident—"

"—and fell unconscious," Clay finished. "He did wake up for a little while, but that fall must have knocked something out of place, 'cause Rai thinks Kimiko is his mother."

Master Fung let his eyes rest on Kimiko. "Kimiko does look a little like Raimundo's mother… But do not worry; he will be back to normal soon." He looked at Raimundo again, his eyes narrowing in interest. "Hmm…"

"Raimundo said that his mother was dead… What happened?" Kimiko asked.

"I do not know the whole story. I only saw a picture of Raimundo's parents, and that is how I know you look a bit like his mother. But I do not know how his parents died. You will have to ask him that yourself," Master Fung replied.

"Both of his parents died?" Kimiko inquired, suddenly feeling sorry for Raimundo.

"Yes," Master Fung answered before heading out of the room.

"Mom?" Raimundo asked quietly from the bed. "Mom? Yah there? Huh… heaven looks a lot like the Xiaolin Temple…weird…"

Kimiko looked down at him and saw a huge bump rising on his forehead. "That was one hell of a fall you had back there," she commented. "Clay, will you please get Rai some water? That'll probably help."

"Mom… Don't worry, I never forgot you and Dad…" Raimundo took off the medallion around his neck and handed it to Kimiko. "See? I still have your medallion. It was your favorite…remember?"

Kimiko rubbed the medallion. It was gold, a little bigger than a quarter, and it had a swirl engraved on it.

She handed him the water that Clay had just come in with. "Here, drink this, and then get some rest," she told him.

So he did as he was told, and minutes later, he was asleep.

Kimiko placed the medallion beside the bed, and followed the others to the Shen Gong Wu vault to put theShen Gong Wu away.

She was about to put the Red Robin away when she froze as she remembered what it could do. I could go into Raimundo's mind… Find some stuff out, she thought. She studied the Robin that was cradled in her hands. Later, she told herself as she finally put the Wu away.

for those who do want another chapter, review and you'll get it.(you'll get it as soon as i can post it)for those who dont...well...there are other stories, right?
