A Change of Life

Chapter 13

Jenrya282: Once again, I'm sorry for the late update. My computer crashed, deleting all my files and now I have to re-download everything and set up everything. I hope you aren't bored of waiting, well, here it is, the final chapter!

"Look at the world you swore to protect Xiaolin monks!" Chase yelled as he laughed. The Chi Dragon roared behind Chase and Wuya.

The Xiaolin monks gasped at the sky. Dark, angry clouds filled the sky and lightning flashed. Kaz fell to his knees and said:

"So this is the end huh?"

Clay growled at Kaz and held him by his collar. "We can't just give up, there has to be someway to defeat the Chi Dragon!"

"Clay, enough." Kimiko said and Clay let Kaz go. "We know we have to do something but what?"

"Look here guys, we can't just give up. Why would Master Fung choose us as Xiaolin Dragons? I hardly think it was because of our elements." Clay said.

"Clay is right my friends, why did Master Fung choose us? It wasn't because of our elements, but the strength we have when we work together." Omi said.

"But Omi, look at the size of that thing. It's too big for us to beat." Kaz pointed out to him.

Now it was Omi's turn to get mad. "Kaz, how can you just give up like this! If we don't do something, Chase and Wuya will throw the world in 1000 years of darkness!"

Kimiko was silent for the whole argument. She kept on staring at the Chi Dragon's eyes. It was pure black, not a shine anywhere. She kept on staring at it until she saw a bit of emerald green. That small bit of green showed innocent and fear, the eyes that belonged to the Wind and Wood boy.

"Raimundo…" Kimiko whispered and started to walk towards it. Chase and Wuya stopped laughing and looked at Kimiko with amusement.

"What does she think she's doing?" Wuya asked Chase. "She's walking to her doom."

Chase was silent and kept on staring at Kimiko who was still walking towards them. He turned around and saw the Chi Dragon. It was calm and quiet, and he knew why.

"Raimundo emotions are taking effect on the Chi Dragon, I must do something." Chase thought.

"Chi Dragon, destroy her!" Chase yelled and the Chi Dragon flew and headed straight towards Kimiko. The other boys of the Xiaolin dragons saw it and quickly ran to her aid. Kimiko still continued to walk towards the Chi Dragon and didn't listen to them. Suddenly Kimiko stopped and held up the Star Hanabi and the Elemental Fan.

"Star Hanabi Fire, Elemental Fan, Fire!" she quickly yelled and engulfed the Chi Dragon in a fireball. The Chi Dragon roared and struggled to get out. She heard the Dragon pains and struggle until she heard a familiar voice, a familiar scream

"Raimundo…" she thought and knew what she had to do.

Inside the Chi Dragon

"Raimundo, Raimundo, wake up."

Raimundo slowly opened his eyes and saw a little boy with brown messy hair.

"Rai, is that you?" he asked painfully. (A/N: If you forgotten who Rai was, it's Raimundo's inner self.)

"Thank goodness you're awake. I was getting worried." Rai replied. "Hurry, we have to get you out of here." and grabbed Raimundo's arm. Raimundo winced in pain and slipped his arm out of Rai's grip.

"Rai, I'm too weak to do anything. Please let me sleep." Raimundo mumbled and slowly closed his eyes.

"Raimundo, you have to get up, if you don't, the Chi Dragon will kill Kimiko and the others!" Rai yelled and once again, pulled Raimundo's arm.

Raimundo's eyes quickly opened and yanked his arm out of Rai's grip again.

"Kimiko…" he slowly whispered and suddenly cried out in pain. Rai winced at his screaming. He knew that wasn't good.

"This is bad; Kimiko completely covered the Chi Dragon with flames, one of his element weaknesses." Rai thought. "I have to do something before Kimiko is the one who kills him!"

Raimundo fell to his knees and screamed more. He started to moan from the pain and began thrashing around.

"Raimundo, just stay still, I'll help you." Rai quickly said and saw the Sword of the Storm near him. He tried to grab it but a black figured blocked him from getting it. It was another version of Raimundo, but instead of wearing a white shirt with green sleeves and blue jeans, it was wearing Raimundo's black Heylin robe.

"Where do you think you're going Rai?" the other little Raimundo asked him.

"I should have known you be in here Chi." Rai hissed and stared at him.

"Wow, did the little angel of Raimundo come to save the day?" Chi asked Rai.

"And when did the little devil of Raimundo decided to ruin everything?" Rai said.

The two started to fight. Throwing kicks and punches at each other.

"Tiger Gale, Wind!" Chi yelled and sent gales of wind at Rai. Rai decide to counterattack it and send his own gale of wind at him.

"Wudai Star, Wind!" Rai yelled.

The two wind attacks collided and knocked both of them back. Rai landed near the Sword of the Storm while Chi landed near Raimundo. Rai grabbed the Sword of the Storm and quickly used it. He sent both Raimundo and Chi up, crashing into the Chi Dragon's body.

"Wudai Star, Wind!" Rai quickly said and lifted himself up and his wind caught Raimundo while Chi fell down and disappeared in smoke. Rai thought of what to do so he gently placed Raimundo down and flew higher, until he reached the Chi Dragon's wing part.

"Sword of the Storm!" he yelled and the wind started to kick up. It blew him back down and when he reached close to Raimundo, his wind picked him up and quickly rushed towards the belly of the Chi Dragon.

"Come on, faster." he thought and his wind combined with the Sword of the Storm and it doubled his speed. He closed his eyes and soon, he and Raimundo were out of the Chi Dragon's belly and out of the fireball created by Kimiko. Chase and Wuya gasped while Kimiko and the others were happy to see him. Rai gently let Raimundo on the ground while he fell on the floor hard.

"Raimundo…" Kimiko cried and ran to Raimundo. Raimundo moaned and got up weakly with the help of Kimiko.

"Hey Kimiko, looks like I'm back." Raimundo said weakly.

"You….you idiot." Kimiko said back to him and hugged him.

Raimundo looked around and saw Rai unconscious. "Please Kimiko, please help Rai. He needs it more then I do."

Kimiko looked up at Raimundo then at Rai. "Who is he?"

"He's my savior, my inner self." Rai said weakly and stood up holding the Sword of the Storm. "This ends here Chase."

Chase shook himself out of his shock and laughed.

"Do you really think you can beat me?"

"Yes, and I intend to. Wudai Star, Wind." Raimundo said and lifted himself up. He charged at Chase with his Sword of the Storm while Wuya handed the other Xiaolin Monks.

Xiaolin Monks vs Wuya

"Well, I guess this would be a quick fight." Wuya said and charge at them.

"Judellet Flip, Fire." Kimiko said and charged at her and then flipped. Too bad Wuya was too busy concentrating on Kimiko that she didn't see Clay's Earth attack coming to her.

"Seismic Kick, Earth." Clay yelled and slammed his foot on the floor and the ground broke and sent an earthquake at Wuya. She got hit and then Omi yelled:

"Tsunami Strike, Water!" He sent a wave of water at her and got her soaked. Kaz knew what he had to do.

"Storm Rage, Lightning!" and he sent lighting strikes at Wuya. Since Wuya was all wet, she fell down twitching. She got up and hissed at them but with limited amount of energy, she didn't really stand a chance. When she was about to attack, they were ready for their final move.

"Dragon X-Kumei Formation." They said at the same time and Kimiko and Omi spun in a circle around Clay's and Kaz's arms. They got closer and closer until they hit Wuya. She fell back and was unconscious.

"Ha, that should teach her a lesson." Kimiko said while clapping her hands. She turned to where Raimundo was fighting.

Raimundo vs Chase

"Wudai Moon, Wood!" Raimundo yelled and sent wood lances at Chase which he easily dodged.

"Tiger Forest, Wood!" Raimundo yelled and wood appeared on all four sides, around Chase and quickly closed in on him. Chase quickly jumped and dodged the attack.

"Impressive, both Xiaolin and Heylin power." Chase said and continued to dodge Raimundo's attack. Raimundo was getting weaker and weaker by the moment and his eyes drooped. Chase took this as an advantage and held Raimundo by the neck.

"Raimundo!" Kimiko yelled as she got closer.

"No…stay back." Raimundo quickly yelled at her. "I'll take care of him. Chi Dragon, I command you to devour both of us."

The Chi Dragon obeyed him and quickly opened his mouth at Raimundo and Chase.

"What are you doing fool!" Chase demanded.

"Heh, something I should I have done days ago, to get rid of you!" Raimundo quickly yelled and held Chase by the arms and flipped him so he was on top of him. "This is the end Chase."

"But you'll be eaten too." Raimundo heard Kaz said.

Raimundo turned to Kaz and smiled. "Please take care of Kimiko and Rai for me. I'll put them in your hands."

Before Kaz could protest, the Chi Dragon clamped his mouth on both of them. Later, they waited, nobody moved. Minutes passed and the belly of the Chi Dragon shined brightly and exploded into smoke. They opened their eyes, nothing, nothing was left. No Chi Dragon, no Chase, no Raimundo. The palace was broken and the sky returned to its normal starry night sky.

"Raimundo…" Kimiko whispered and went to Rai. She shook him until she heard him groan.

"What happened?" Rai asked. "Where's Raimundo?"

Kimiko whispered the answer in his ears and his head drooped.

"No, why would he do that? I thought he knew what would happen!" Rai cried. Tears appeared in his eyes and fell to the floor.

"He knew this would happen; he did it to save us." Kaz said.

"Indeed, he is an honorable warrior." Omi said.

"For someone who worked as a Heylin, he isn't half bad." Clay added.

"So Rai, what would you do now?" Kimiko asked him, the name Rai reminded her of Raimundo.

"I don't know, without Raimundo, I'm nothing." he replied.

"How about you stay in the temple with us? You can live with us." Clay asked.

"Really?" Rai replied. "I mean, if that's okay with you guys."

"Of course, anybody who's a friend of Raimundo is a friend of ours." Kimiko replied and they all went on the enlarged Dojo. When they left the castle, Kimiko and Rai took one last look at the place where Raimundo had saved their lives.

"Thank you Raimundo and I'll promise you, Rai is safe with me." Kimiko whispered and turned her head, feeling the wind hit her face. "Rai is safe with me; I'll protect him no matter what, for your honor, dear Raimundo."

After they left

"I will be back for revenge, no matter what…I'll come back for you Kimiko Tohomiko and you, especially you Raimundo Pedrosa."
