Chapter 2: Shen-Gong-Wu
"So Robin's gone?" repeated Cyborg. Starfire nodded- she had been hurt by the girl last night who could somehow control fire. "Also, he did not recieve his pizza," Starfire croaked. "Uh, guys?" Starfire and Cyborg ran over- Raven hovered over. "Someone's breaking into a Chinese temple a few miles away. It's the same guys." Cyborg pounded a gigantic fist against an open hand. "Titans, GO!"
"The Reel of Hinoca is mine!" shouted Jack. Kimiko leapt at him, knocking the Reel out of his hand. "Tongue of Saiping! Jaguars, pounce!" Omi commanded. Several jaguars leapt at Jack, who knocked them away- all except one green one. It morphed until it became a green-skinned boy. Jack and the Dragons ignored him- they'd seen stranger things happen. Omi leapt towards Jack and the boy. "I challenge you both to a Showdown Trio! My Topaz of Tutankhamen against Jack's Jetbootsu and this person's... what is your name?" The boy shrugged. "Call me Beast Boy. My teammates are coming soon, and they're gonna kick your sorry little-" Jack cut coolly through Beast Boy's cussing. "Pick up the Tongue of Saiping, then." Beast Boy picked up the Tongue of Saiping. "Thank you," said Omi. "Now, where was I? Oh, yes- against Beast Boy's Tongue of Saiping! The last one left on the arena wins! Let's go- XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"
Raven was still trying to clear the passageway full of rocks. "This will take ages," said Cyborg furiously.
Fancy effects, thought Beast Boy, staring at the now-elevated statues. "Gon yi tem pai!" shouted Jack and Omi, as they leapt to opposite sides. "Topaz of Tutankhamen, Ape!" Omi roared- he morphed into an Ape, and leapt at Jack, alomst knocking him off. "Jetbootsu!" shouted Jack, and he was propelled into the air. Beast Boy didn't know what to do, so he simply charged at Omi, who was now a mouse. He transformed into a rhino, and almost knocked Omi off- instead, he fell. He quickly transformed into a hummingbird, and hovered there, watching. "Minotaur! Omi, now a Minotaur, leapt at Jack, and smashed him against the sides of the arena. "I am victorious!" he shouted.
Meanwhile, Beast Boy was sitting on an isolated rock. Then, he realised- the gabble that they had shouted out were the names of the object. "Tongue of Saiping!" he whispered. Nothing happened. However, it was at this moment a random thought crossed Beast Boy's head. "Maybe... Tongue of Saiping! Rhinos, charge!" Several rhinos charged at Omi, knocking him off. There was a flash of light, and the arena turned to normal.
"Man, I rock," Beast Boy muttered to himself. He was now cradling three Shen-Gong-Wu in his arms. "I wanna rematch!" said Jack hastily. Wuya would've slapped him- but she didn't have any hands. "Let's go, Jack," she said tiredly. Beast Boy took that moment to get out of there.
"We're in!" roared Cyborg, running in. He ran into Beast Boy on the way out. "BB! Did you-" Beast Boy showed them the Shen-Gong-Wu. "I trashed them in some kind of showdown thing, and- and- I got these!" Beast Boy showed them the Shen-Gong-Wu. "Give the stuff back," Cyborg said sternly. "No, I beat them- look! Put these boots on!" Cyborg looked at them doubtfully. "They'll never fit, but I'll try them any way." He put them on. "Now, yell- Jetbootsu!" Cyborg laughed. "What would yelling Jetbootsu-" Cyborg lifted into the air. "Sick!" Starfire and Raven stared, as Cyborg circled the cavern, clearly enjoying himself. "So, these things all have different purposes? Maybe one of those freaks stole Robin! Star, when you left to fight those dragon riders, what did the guy fighting Robin look like?" Starfire looked from Beast Boy to Raven to Cyborg. "He had pale skin and red hair," she recalled. Beast Boy yelled in triumph. "One of those guys was there. He was accompanied by some ghost. I went up against him." Cyborg nodded. "That weirdo must have Robin. Do you know what his name is?" Beast Boy recalled yet another part of his battle. "Jack." Cyborg was silent for a moment. "Okay, I know where our guy is. Jack Spicer. He's barely a teen. He's got a long rap sheet, as well as a long history of buying robot parts. Location- Spicer manor. Let's go!"
