A Change of Life
Chapter 7
Jenrya282: First of all, I like to thank Angelus-alvus, rainbowraindeer, DeafLizgon, A.M.MC, Marie Terensky, Vannessa Hillstead and Kosmic for replying. I'm really happy on how this story is going so thank all of you for encouraging me!
rainbowraindeer: Well, it was hard to get Raimundo and Kimiko together but it was worth a try on that. I'll try to get Kimiko to meet Raimundo on this chapter and I'll try to get it right! Actually, I also enjoyed the chapter 5 training battle between Raimundo and Chase; I must say I did a pretty good job in that too! I'll try to get the action going!
DeafLizgon: Don't worry about Chase, keep cursing, I want Rai too kill him!
Kosmic: I thought Chase gives Omi the Yang yo-yo to save Master Fung from the Ying-Yang world but I could be wrong. Well, I thought of the yo-yo part and I have any idea to solve that so please just bare it.
Xiaolin Temple Kimiko's P.O.V
It has been three weeks since the last time I saw Raimundo. For some reason, I could always feel a chill in the wind and every time, I got more and more worried about Raimundo. Three weeks searching for Shen Gong Wu's, only Jack and Wuya appeared. No Raimundo, no Kage, just Wuya and Jack. I asked Master Fung and Dojo who this Chase guy was but their reply was that he disappeared a long time ago and was never seen. They couldn't believe that he was alive until they saw him. Omi thinks that Raimundo just tricked me but I know that I'm right about one thing: Raimundo is in deep trouble. I just have to pay less attention to Raimundo right now, I have training to do. We were busy training with master Fung. Our job, take the pebble in hand.
"Young Monks, you must focus, if you do, you will be victorious." said Master Fung.
Focus, that's the only thing I'm not doing right now. All I could think about is Raimundo. Once again, that name popped up in my head. I groaned and shook my head and broke out of my chain of thought to hear Kaz yell:
"Move out of the way Kimiko!"
I blinked and saw Omi heading towards me and he landed right on me.
"Oof, I'm so sorry Kimiko; I didn't mean to fall on you." Omi said and got to his feet.
"It's ok Omi; I wasn't paying attention at all anyways." I replied and rubbed my head.
"Young Kimiko, why aren't you focusing on our training session? It's very important that you do if you want to beat Wuya and Jack." said Master Fung.
"I know Master Fung, it's just that I have a lot on my mind right now." I replied.
"Oh, you must not worry Kimiko, I will help you in many ways." Omi said.
"Thanks Omi but I don't think you can help me with this problem." I replied and then Dojo came running out with the scroll.
"Major Shen Gong Wu here! It's the Heart of Jong. It brings inanimate objects to life and gives them human emotion, but makes them evil and crave for Shen Gong Wu." said Dojo.
"Young Monks, this is one Shen Gong Wu you must not let the Heylin get it. If it does, the world will be destroyed." Master Fung said, looking very serious about this particular Shen Gong Wu.
All of us nodded and got on Dojo and we flew to Rio de Janeiro.
Chase's castle
Chase saw from his raven that the Xiaolin Monks are heading to find the Heart of Jong. He snapped his finger and a red eye boy came out of the shadows and knelt down in front of him.
"The monks have sensed the Heart of Jong. Retrieve that Shen Gong Wu so we can continue with our world conquering quest." said Chase.
"Yes Master Chase, your wish is my command." said the boy and left the castle.
"Soon, when I have the necessary Wu's, I can start with phase two." said Chase and laughed.
Rio do Janeiro
The Xiaolin Monks where looking high and low for the Heart of Jong and quickly found themselves in an antique store.
"Wow, I have never seen so much Shen Gong Wu's in one place!" Omi exclaimed.
"Uh Omi, these aren't Shen Gong Wu's, they are just items that people think are very special and unique." Kaz said.
"Most of these are old items but why do you think the Heart of Jong is in here Kimiko?" asked Omi.
"Well, because to me, the Heart of Jong is an old item so it should be in here." replied Kimiko and continued to walk around the shop.
While they were looking for the Shen Gong Wu, they heard the bell on the door ring but just thought it was a costumer. While Kimiko was looking close to the cashier, he noticed a boy with a white hooded sweater and blue jeans. He had his hood on for some reason.
"I saw that boy before but where?" Kimiko thought.
She saw the boy asking something and the person nodded and went to the back room. The boy took off his hood and started to look around the shop.
"Raimundo!" Kimiko thought and kept quiet.
The cashier person came back hold a shining red object with blue lines around it.
"The Heart of Jong!" Kimiko quickly yelled and jumped out of her hiding spot. The other monks heard her and ran towards Kimiko.
"Well, look what we have here; it's Kimiko and her group of idiotic monks. How good to see you here." said Raimundo.
"Whoever you are, hand over the Heart of Jong or you will face further humiliation." said Omi, point his index finger at Raimundo.
"My my Omi, didn't you know pointing at somebody is wrong." Raimundo said with a very eerie smile.
Omi's face turned red and charged at Raimundo. Raimundo quickly ran out of the way and Omi bashed into the door and out of the shop.
"Omi!" the others yelled and ran out the door but before they did, a tiger blocked the way and growled at them.
"Kage, please move." said Kimiko. "We have to help my friend."
Kage stayed at his current position and continued to growl.
"Don't bother, he won't listen to you. He already has a master so forget about commanding him." Raimundo said and walked out the door.
"Raimundo, stop where you are." Raimundo stopped.
"Raimundo, what happened to you? You used to be so nice and really worried about Kage but now, you're much crueler. And your eyes, what happened to them? asked Kimiko.
"Kimiko, the one with most of the questions, how many times have I told you? I work for Chase now and only listen to Chase's commands. And you don't have to worry about my eyes, they are perfectly fine." said Raimundo and left the shop but to find Jack Spicer and Wuya waiting for him.
"Hand over the Wu Raimundo." said Jack.
"What if I say no?" replied Raimundo.
"Jack bots, attack!" yelled Jack and his minion of robots came.
"Leave this idiot to me Kimiko. You leave this place and go back to your temple." said Raimundo and started to battle the Jack bots.
Raimundo's P.O.V
Just when I had the perfect chance to get away with the Heart of Jong, that idiotic Jack Spicer just had to interfere. So the only thing I could do was battle his robots and get out of here before the Xiaolin monks get to me.
"Heylin Wood!" I yelled and wrapped his robots up and break them apart.
Jack summoned more and I quickly used 'Heylin Wind' and blew the robots away. The Xiaolin Monks are just staring at my battle and I could see Kimiko with a worried look on her face. Why was she so worried about me? Or is she worried about Jack? Neither way, do I care at all? After I was done with his robots, he whimpered again and left the shop. I turned to the Xiaolin monks to see them see shocked. Guess they were too surprise. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, that baldy kid Omi came behind and kicked me. I dropped the Heart of Jong and I rushed to get it but was also grabbed by the cowboy of the group.
"Raimundo, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown." he said.
"Fine, name your game." I said, sounding really bored.
"The game is antique catching. The first person who drops an antique looses." he said. I heard some groans from the Xiaolin monks.
"Fine, I accept your challenge. I'll wager the Sword of the Storm for your Crystal Glasses." I said and he accepts.
"Xiaolin Showdown!" both of us yelled and the floor rose up and we were close to the clouds. Like always, the Xiaolin monks are standing on the side lines.
"Gong Yi Tempai!" I yelled and the artifacts started to fall from the sky.
"Heylin Wood." I yelled and the wood caught some of the falling antiques. While I was still catching the artifacts, the cowboy Clay was also catching the items and gently put them on the floor. He wasn't half bad I thought. I knew this would be a piece of cake since he's the Dragon of Earth.
"Earth!" he yelled and somehow, easily caught most of the falling items while they were still in the air.
"Crystal Glasses!" he yelled again and saw where the items will be dropped. He used his Earth element to help him grab some of the items from my side. I growled at him and yelled:
"Darkness Typhoon!"
I summoned strong winds and it quickly caught most of the items while the other half of the wind tripped Clay and he fell. An item fell on his head and on the floor. The showdown was over and I was the victor. I collected the Crystal Glasses and the Heart of Jong and left the shop.
"That dirty no good, rotten Raimundo." I heard Clay yell. "He's even lower then a worm can dig."
"Whatever Clay, you lost." I said back and hopped on Kage and left.
Chase's castle
When Kage reached his castle, I walked in and bowed before him.
"Very good Raimundo, you have served me well." Master Chase said.
"Thank you Master Chase." I replied and placed the Shen Gong Wu beside him and knelt back down in front of him. He called his cats to come and pick them up.
"My, my Chase, you sure have chosen a good little boy for your side."
I quickly got up and got in my fighting position, facing where the voice was. Out of the shadows, a purple bodied ghost came out. I knew that ghost anywhere.
"Wuya." I said.
"Haven't seen you in a while Wuya. How long was it? 15,000 years ago?" Chase said with amusement and signaled me to leave them alone. I bowed down and obeyed him and left them.
Wuya's P.O.V
I never though that boy would work for Chase. Me and Jack has been seeing this boy a lot and always thought he was on the Xiaolin side but he wasn't. I thought, this might be a good chance to get back my old form.
"Say Chase, how about we make you a deal? If I tell you where each Shen Gong Wu is, you help me get back to my original form." I asked him.
"And why should I believe a hag like you?" Chase asked.
A hag! I'll teach that no good no Chase that I'm not a hag!
"Well, I know what you are up to Chase and I can tell when and where a Shen Gong Wu is. I can help you get the Wu's you need to rule the world." I said.
He looked away from me and started to think.
"Fine, I'll accept this request but if you are to disobey me, then you will go back as a spirit you hag." he said. "Raimundo, come here."
Raimundo, the boy I detest so much, came out of the shadows and bowed before him.
"Go and get the serpent tail from the Xiaolin Temple. This time, don't fail me." Chase said.
He nodded and hopped on his tiger and left. Suddenly, I felt some power! A new Shen Gong Wu!
"Chase, there's a Shen Gong Wu that just revealed itself." I waited a bit longer and finally knew what it was. "It's the Reversing Mirror!"
I need that Shen Gong Wu so I can complete my transformation!
"But you have nobody to get the Reversing Mirror!" I said to Chase.
"While Raimundo go and get the Serpent's Tail, I will get the Reversing Mirror." Chase said and walked out. I followed him and saw that he already left. I flew as fast I can and actually caught up to him.
Xiaolin Temple Kimiko's P.O.V
While we were eating lunch, Dojo suddenly slid in and holding the scroll.
"No time for lunch kids, there's a new Shen Gong Wu! It's called the Reversing Mirror. It allows the user to reflect an attack or reverse an effect of another Shen Gong Wu." said Dojo.
"We must leave at once!" Omi yelled and jumped up from his seat. "We must get it before Jack Spicer and Raimundo!"
Just then, before all four of us left, Master Fung came to us and said:
"One of you must stay. We need some assistants in the temple like guarding the vault. Kaz, you will stay and watch the vault."
"Okay Master Fung." Kaz said and jumped off Dojo. He turned to us and said: "Make sure to get that Shen Gong Wu."
We gave him a thumb up and Dojo flew off. While we were flying, I was wondering if I would get another chance to see Raimundo.
Jenrya282: I'm so sorry for the late update, I have so much things happening to me at once. In two weeks, I have a history exam and a performance in church. I also have 2 more tests in school so I have to study for them. I might not get a chance to update them this week but I'll try to. Ciao!
