Jenrya282: Yeah, this story is going so good and I'm very happy to thank all the readers who reviewed this story! Now, onto the story!
Xiaolin Temple Raimundo's P.O.V
So Master Chase wants me to steal the Serpent's Tail from the Xiaolin Temple because Wuya asked for it. But then again, Chase does know Wuya a lot. I wonder what they have in common. Oh well, I have a job to do and I'll accomplish it. Kage, while I was on him, jumped on the roof of the vault and I jumped down from there. I slowly looked inside and saw no one was there. They must be out looking for the Shen Gong Wu, so this was easy pickings. I snickered and walked in the vault. I touched the chimes and moved them in the same pattern I did in the beginning. The stairs appeared and I walked down. I snickered and knew this was way too easy.
"Stop Raimundo."
I turned around to see Kaz, the Dragon of Lightning.
"Why hello Kaz, why aren't you out hunting for the Reversing Mirror?" I asked him.
He had his hands on his hip and looked at me.
"I decided to stay. Knew something was to happen." he replied. "And it did, so why aren't you out getting the Reversing Mirror?"
"Well, a little birdie told me that I have business here and it doesn't concern you Kaz. Leave or you will be dealt severely." I said to him.
"Kaz, is there an intruder?" came a voice outside the vault.
"Yes Master Fung, there is. How about you come and introduce yourself to the Dragon of Wind and Wood." Kaz said.
An old guy with a grey beard and a blue robe entered the vault.
"Master Fung, meet Raimundo. Raimundo, meet my fist." Kaz said and charged at me. I jumped up before he could hit me and then he quickly yells:
"Storm Rage, Lightning!"
I looked up and lightning came out of nowhere and started to shoot everywhere. While the lightning strike kept on coming, I knew I have to do something quickly.
"Heylin Wood!" I yelled and wrapped up Kage. While his lightning was still active, I used the wood as a lighting rod and shocked him. He fell on the floor and was twitching.
"Kaz, are you alright?" his Master Fung asked him.
I smiled and said:
"Never mess with Master Chase's plan." and walked toward the stairway.
"Stop Raimundo." I stopped and stood near the staircase.
"What do you want Fung man?" I asked him while not turning around.
"Is this what your heart tells you to do?" he asked me.
I gasped and stood up. What did he mean by that?
"Is listening to Chase your real purpose?" he asked me again.
I looked up and laughed.
"My soul purpose is to server Master Chase and there's nothing you can do about it." I said to him.
"Chase is your opponent, you enemy. Your heart tells you what is right and wrong. Listen to your heart." Master Fung said.
"And my heart tells you to get lost old man!" I yelled and charged at him. He jumped away from me and quickly disappeared. I looked around, seeing nothing but the inside of the vault. He quickly appeared beside me and tackled me to the floor. Just before he could disappear again, Kage came and tackled Master Fung to the floor.
"Master Fung!"
I looked up to Kaz in a fighting position and he looked mad.
"Storm Rage, Lightning!" he yelled and his lighting appeared once again.
"Heylin Wood!" I yelled and tried to use the same plan I had before. He quickly stopped his attacked and kicked me in the gut. Kage ran up to Kaz, trying to tackle him but was shocked by his lighting attack.
"Ha, you really need a new attack Raimundo because your old one was just last week." Kaz said, mocking me.
I felt all the anger inside of me rush to my head, an uncontrollable emotion. I grew so mad that I yelled:
"Shadow Clash, Wood!"
On all four corners of the vault were covered by wood and they quickly circled around Master Fung and Kaz. The all fell on top of them and I heard nothing more of them.
"Hey, never get in the way of Master Chase's plan." I said and walked down the stairway. I walked down to the place where the Serpent's Tail was put and when I opened the drawer, it was empty!
"Alright, beaten by the Xiaolin monks again!"
I turned around to see Kaz and Master Fung, undamaged and was perfectly uninjured.
"Where is the Serpent's Tail?" I said, demanding them for the tail.
"Too bad, the other monks have it so you loose Raimundo." Kaz replied.
I growled at him and ran out of the vault. I jumped on Kage and he left the Xiaolin Temple. I knew that if Master Chase found out, he would have my head again.
Kyoto, Japan Kimiko's P.O.V
"Hey Dojo, how come most of the Shen Gong Wu's are hidden in Japan?" I asked Dojo.
"Well, since China and Japan are have some pretty good ancient things happening, so Dashi thought that not much people will know about it." Dojo replied.
"But wouldn't it make it easier for the Heylin to find them?" Omi asked.
"Nah, most of the Heylin people are pretty stupid Omi." I replied. But I knew that not all Heylin are stupid, not Raimundo. Once again, that name worried me.
When we landed near the Sakura Temple, Dojo turned small and crawled under Clay's hat.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. The Sakura Temple doesn't like dragons." I pointed out.
"And now, we must continue with our quest to look for the Reversing Mirror." Omi said and ran in the temple. In the temple, there were many people looking around the Sakura design on the wall. There were pictures of ancient people killing dragons and other mystical creatures.
"Man, Dojo can't even go out and walk around." I said. "So where is that Reversing Mirror?"
Suddenly, the roof of the temple broke and people were screaming for their lives. We all looked up and saw a large, green scaly dragon and Wuya beside him.
"Well, are these the Xiaolin monks that you talk about so much Wuya?" asked Chase.
"Yes, they are." Wuya replied.
"Well I say, where is that no good Jack Spicer?" Clay said.
"Right here cowboy and lookie what I have here!"
They all turned around and saw Jack Spicer holding the Reversing Mirror.
"Hand over that Wu Jack." I yelled at Jack. "Or get your butt kicked."
"Ha, no way Kimiko, Wuya betrayed me for that dragon freak and now I'm working alone." Jack replied.
"Who are you calling a freak you freak?" Chase said. "I am Chase Young"
Jack's eyes widened and his mouth dropped to the floor. "Chase Young, you mean the famous Heylin prince Chase Young?"
"I guess I have my reputation." Chase said.
"Wow, as an Evil Boy Genius, I want you to have the Monkey Staff." Jack said and handed Chase the Monkey Staff.
"I have no interest on the Monkey Staff; I'm more interested in the Reversing Mirror." Chase said.
"The Reversing Mirror, why the mirror?" Jack said.
Chase snapped his finger and his wild cats appeared.
"It's none of your business rodent, just hand over the Reversing Mirror and I will spare your pathetic lives." Chase said.
"Yes Chase, yes Sir Chase." Jack said cowardly and placed the Reversing Mirror in his hands. Jack screamed and ran out of the temple. Just then, Raimundo appeared on Kage and landed beside the dragon Chase.
"Did you get the Serpent's Tail Raimundo?" Chase asked him.
He knelt beside Chase and replied:
"I heard from the Dragon of Lighting and the old man that they have the Serpent's Tail." He pointed at us and Chase smiled at us.
"I see that you have some tricks up your sleeves. Now, hand over the Serpent's Tail or my jungle cats will have a nice meal." Chase said to us with a grin. He snapped his finger and his jungle cats started to crawl towards us.
"Do you think that your cats can stop us?" Omi said. "We are Xiaolin Apprentices so you are not defeated so easily!"
"Judellet Flip, Fire!" I yelled and flipped between his cats and flung a couple of them away. I flipped again and knocked a bit more away.
"Tsunami Strike, Water!" Omi yelled and turned in a tornado motion. He moved around and knocked a couple more away.
"Seismic Kick, Earth!" Clay cried and stomped his feet on the floor. He broke the floor and some of the ground pieces flew and smashed to some of the cats.
The battle continued and Chase just kept on summoning his jungle cats at us. We just kept on attacking and attacking, using the strongest attack we have and soon, we were tired.
"Now, would you hand over the Serpent's Tail?" Chase asked us.
"No, we won't pass the tail to creeps like you." I cried back to him.
"Heylin Wood!" I heard Raimundo yell and thick roots came out of the floor and wrapped up Clay and Omi. I gasped and turned around toglared at Raimundo.
"Listen Kimiko, if you want to save them, either battle me or hand over the Serpent's Tail." Raimundo said and went in front of me.
"Kimiko, don't hand over the Serpent's Tail. You must not sacrifice that Shen Gong Wu for us. Don't hand over the Serpent's Tail!" Omi cried at me.
Raimundo snapped his fingers and I could hear Omi and Clay yelling. I knew he was crushing them.
"Don't hand over the Wu partner!" Clay yelled at me.
I closed my eyes and hot tears slid down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do; I didn't know how to save them. Wait! That's wood and I'm fire so I can just burn them.
"Judellet Flip, Fire!" I yelled and ran to the vines. When I got closer and used the fire, a strong gale of wind blew me away and I fell to the floor.
"Don't bother to save them like that. I knew that you would try to save them like that so I used my wind element to create a wind force field around them so you can't burn the vines." Raimundo said to me with a smirk.
I got up weakly and slowly walked to him. I knew I can't just lose Raimundo like this; I also knew that I can't lose Omi and Clay like this. I've been weak these last couple of weeks but now, I'm different. I have the element of Fire with me and that burns brightly inside of me and I knew I have to do something. I continued to walk towards Raimundo; I didn't care about what kind of attacks he throws at me, I just continued to walk towards him.
"Sleep well Kimiko." I heard him say and he threw some strong gales of Wind at me but I still continued to walk towards him. "Fall Kimiko, fall to your doom!"
Still, I continued to walk towards him. I heard him cursing at me, wanting me to fall. When I reached him, right in front of him, I wrapped my arms around him. He gasped and didn't attack anymore.
"Rai...Rai...mun...do, I...I lo...love you." I said weakly. I just couldn't believe myself; I actually told him I loved him. And I really mean it. I looked in his eyes. Confusion, sadness, pain, I could easily see those emotions in his eyes. Soon, his red, raging eyes turned back to his gentle, emerald eyes.
"Kimiko," I heard him say. "I...I love you too." He tightened our embrace and I soon felt myself falling into unconsciousness.
"Kimiko!" was the only thing I heard my lover say before falling into unconsciousness.
Jenrya282: Wahoo, they finally admitted that they love each other! I'm so happy! Review! Ciao!
