Chapter Two- The Po Key.
In the walls of the temple, Master Tong was explaining Shen-Gong-Wu to the Dragons who were curious as to there origin and all the different powers they held.
"Shen-Gong-Wu are ancient objects in which powers lie within. Each different Shen-Gong-Wu has a different power and name. There are hundreds. There is no limit. They are an important factor in the war between Master Dashi and Wuya. They are both fighting for them. Master Dashi wants them for good. He wants to hide them so that not a single person can use them to their advantage. Wuya, on the other hand, wants them for evil. She wants this earth to be thrown into ten-thousand years off darknes. She also wants the earth thrown at her feet. She wants to rule the earth. She wants it at her mercy. If you(he pointed at the Dragons) do not get them, then help Master Dashi fight in the war, Wuya may win. And all her dreams, will become reality." he explained.
"Did, you just say...that there are hundreds of these...Shen-Gong-Wu?" asked Makosi.
Master Tong nodded at his young pupils and began to speak again. "The first Shen-Gong-Wu has made an appearence. You will go with Fala(he said pointing to a small pink Dragon) and find The Po Key."
"What power does it have?" asked Estabon.
"It grants its master the power of speed. The master an travel at amazing speeds and won't be seen. They -the master- become so fast, that they go faster than an eye can blink."
"But...how can we fit on that(he said pointing at Fala)? She..."
"Hey, I'm a HE!" added Fala agrily.
"SORRY. He is so small." said Cody.
"Ah, he can grow. Show them Fala." replied Master Tong.
Fala grew into a one-hundred feet sized monster of a Dragon. He was about half the size of the room.
"That is him at half his size. He is trying not to take up too much room in the Grand Hall" explained Master Tong.
"COOL" they all laughed.
"Now, you must be off, the Po Key won't wait all day. I suggest you get a move on. Or Wuya's forces will get the Po Key before you and they will have the upper-hand."
The Dragons ran outside, desperate to see what Fala was like at full size. Falla ecame small again and looked at Master Tong. Master Tong looked back.
"Look after them, Fala." he said gravely.
Fala looked back at Master Tong and smiled. "I looked after you alright."
"True."
Fala left the room and joined the Dragons outside. He grew to his full length of two-hundred feet and they set off into the blazing sun to get their first Shen-Gong-Wu: The Po Key.
As the sun became hotter in the middle off the day, the Dragons too became hot. They became tired quickly and they had to have water.
Saskia, the Dragon of Water, reached for her flask and awakened her power to fill the flask. All the Dragons could now drink. She re-filled it when it was needed and when everyone had finished, she filled the flask a final time and let Fala have a drink. Everyone said 'thankyou' and silence resumed.
Hours had passed since the Dragons and Fala had left the temple and they finaly reached Sydney where the Po Key was hidden.
The city was full of life, even in the late evening. As the sun had began to fall, the Xiaolin Dragons decided that they had better hurry.
It would only be a matter of time until Wuya's workers came for it.
A few minutes of hard looking and there it was, hanging in a tree.
It was a gold and red key about the size of a normal key.
Saskia used a trick that Master Tong had taught her when she first set foot in the temple. She used a move called: The Hula Jump. The Hula Jump is made by jumping and making circles with your hips.
She landed on the branch right above the Shen-Gong-Wu. She reached out a hand and it was hers. She picked it from the branch and joined her fellow Dragons on the ground.
Saskia smiled. "I guess this is my Shen-Gong-Wu!" she said smiling again.
The Dragons all looked happy. The first Shen-Gong-Wu had been found. But there was the fear of something coming in their minds.
They all thought: Where are Wuya's workers? What do they look like? Do they have powers like we have elemental?
So many questions and so little time. Soon, a second Shen-Gong-Wu would be found and the Dragons would have to go in search of it.
