Chapter 4: Light and Thunder
Omi was training hard, sparring with Clay. "Water!" Omi dived at Clay, knocking him away. Clay landed, but Omi was too quick- he tossed him into the wall, kicked him in the stomach, and jumped away, still in a combat pose. "Whoooee!" said Clay. "You're gettin' powerful!"
Meanwhile, Kimiko and Raimundo were fighting even harder. "Judallei Flip, Fire!" Kimiko cried. "Typhoon Boom, Wind!" Raimundo shouted. A fire strike and a mini-tornado hit each other, creating a gigantic fire tornado. "Fire!" cried Kimiko. The tornado flew at Raimundo, fiery power illuminating his features. "Wind!" The tornado was forced back, it's cold wind brushing Kimiko's face. Suddenly, a surge of energy went through them both, and they suddenly knew what to do.
"Thunder!" roared Raimundo.
"Light!" screamed Kimiko.
Two almost identical beams of light hit the Tornado, and it grew- almost enveloping Omi and Clay. There was an explosion, then silence. Raimundo stumbled forward, and almost fell over- looking through the smoke, he saw Kimiko stumbling towards him. Kimiko fell over, and Raimundo did too. Neither of them noticed it, but, as they fell unconscious, their hands met.
As the smoke cleared, Omi stared through the mist. He saw two forms on the ground- Raimundo and Kimiko? "Clay! I think our friends are endangered!" Clay rolled his beady eyes. "Uh, that's 'in danger', Omi." Omi nodded. "Yes, that three." Clay was beginning to grin now. "No, you mean 'That too'." Omi nodded. "It's not my year, is it?" Clay almost laughed. "Day." Omi was beginning to get mad. "Yes, whatever. Now, we must go over."
Master Fung knelt at Kimiko and Raimundo's side. "They have progressed well beyond the level of Xiaolin Apprentice," he explained. "They have uncovered their elements. Omi, you had almost accomplished it, but not quite. They have surpassed you." Omi scowled. He did not like being bested at fighting.
Dojo was playing Goo Zombies 3, a new game. He was already up to the fifteenth level, and had the Golden Cap. "The darkness shall claim the light." The boss said. Dojo's grin was illuminated by the explosion of the boss. Suddenly, the game began to beep. Dojo pressed the Call button. A masked face appeared on the screen. "This is Robin, Teen Titan leader. One of my teammates is Beast Boy." Dojo was surprised. "Just wait." He pressed a Record button on the touch screen. "Okay, talk, Bird Boy." Robin scowled. He hated that name.
"Are you guys for or against Spicer?" asked Robin. "You were there, Birdy. I think it was pretty obvious." Robin was trying very hard not to terminate the connection. "Okay, we need to unite. We raided Spicer's house, and we found all kinds of plans. He's planning something big. Something to do with some new Xiaolin Dragon." Dojo was anticipating this moment- the arrival of the mighty Psychic Dragon. "I'm just here to explain the facts. So- are you interested?" Dojo thought about it. "I would, personally, but I need to run it by the monks. They can be really stingy." Robin nodded. "Robin out." The link terminated, and the smiling face of the Goo Zombies hero appeared once again.
"He said he'll check with the Monks," Robin told the rest of the team. "Meanwhile, we need leads on this new dragon. Anything new?" Cyborg consulted a computer. "Spicer has her, but if we manage to win the Wushan Geyser..." The rest of the Titans fixed him with a quizzical look. "I managed to hack the girl's handheld. The Wushan Geyser erases people's memories." Robin looked interested. "Anything else on there?" Cyborg grinned. "Well, it turns out Kimiko- the girl- has a crush on a boy called Raimundo." Robin shook his head. "Tens of thousands of dollars worth of computer technology in your room, Cyborg, and all you can do is check who little twelve-year old girls have a crush on." Cyborg had a straight face when he said, "It was practically everywhere."
