The Time has Come

The Comer of Earth

"Why did he do it?" Rai asked as he walked back and forth of the temple, he couldn't believe that Omi would do that. He wiped another tear from his eye, little Omi had betrayed them. What were they going to do? Kimiko just watched Raimundo, she couldn't stand what had happened either, but she didn't know what to say.

"I dunno." Was all she could say, she was depressed and it wasn't a question why.

"Is that all you can say? OMI BETRAYED US!" He yelled. Kimiko got defensive.

"WELL, EXCUSE ME FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY!" She was about ready to kick him. "You're not the only one Omi Betrayed! Don't think you're alone in this!"

"I don't!" Rai said turning away after being yelled at. "I don't know what to feel…"

" Hey guys, stop hoopen' and hollern' like that. We'll find a way to get Omi back, he is after all our bestest little buddy." Clay said as he and Jack came from down the hall. Rai glared.

"I hate your good mood.." and walked away.

"Rai!" Kimiko started but Clay put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head 'no.'

"Let him be Kimi, He's just upset and angry. Let him vent."

"But…" Kimiko started but she let it go away, she wouldn't have known what to do anyway.

"Yea, we all need to vent sometime." Jack said as he left the room. "I have to get back home; I'll see you guys tomorrow?" Clay nodded and let him leave.

"Come on, I know you're upset too, don't try to be brave." Kimi looked at him with disbelieve, how could he have said that? But then again, she did hide things sometimes; she didn't want to be a cry baby because she was surrounded by men and wanted to appear like one of them. She then sobbed and Clay comforted her. "It's alright Kimi, Let it out.." He couldn't help but let a tear go too, what were they going to do… It seemed impossible now to win this war.

After everyone got out all their emotions it was now time to think of a plan to do something about this situation, but what? "What are we going to do?" Kimiko asked.

"Are we even powerful enough to take on Omi?" Rai's eyes bugged.

"Take on Omi?"

"Well, what else are we suppose to do?" Clay asked him.

"I dunno, but I don't wanna hurt Omi." Rai said leaning on a pole.

"Neither of us do either Rai, but we have no choice. Even if we did try, we're still not going to be a match for him."

"He was tougher than a rooster with a worm."

"What?" Rai and Kimi looked at him weirdly. He just grinned and shrugged.

"Well, anyway, Jack Spicer is with us now." Rai said sitting back. "Who would have thought?"

"Well, he's not doing it on purpose." Kimi said. "His bad Chi got stuck in the ying-yang world. But it doesn't seem right to have him like this, even though it's good for us." Then Dojo entered the room, everyone turned towards him.

"Hey guys, how are ya holding up?"

"As good as we can." Rai added with a bit of sarcasm. Dojo glared then jumped onto the table and up to Clay's Shoulder.

"Well, Master Fung wants to speak with you. All of you." They all looked at each other, now it was time for the Master to step in and tell them the game plan. They hoped a good game plan.

They had all entered the room Master Fung was waiting and he got up from his meditation and looked at his three remaining dragons. "I know that you are feeling hurt and fear at this moment, but I will you not to worry about the situation. Omi did go to the evil side, but I do not believe it was his will to do so." He then walked passed the dragons and out into the garden, the dragon's followed their master. He then turned to them and started to speak again. "I decided it was time to call forth the others to aide in our trial time." Rai's eyes bugged.

"Others?" He paused and looked at Clay and Kimiko. "What others?" Master Fung just smiled and replied.

"There are other Dragon warriors besides yourselves, but they're not exactly like you. They are an even more powerful versions and they are only summoned if the war has started."

"More powerful than us? Man, I became the wrong dragon." Kimi elbowed him, she was just as surprised but she wanted to hear more.

"They have been training since they were toddlers just for this day. They all had to leave their families behind and live in temples all around the world. Each of these four warriors had different teachers. They all have different abilities and a different way in dealing with the enemy. They are here to help destroy this evil that has plagued us."

"When are they supposed to arrive?" Clay asked.

"They should be here between tomorrow or later today or some time this week. Since there are no transportation to this temple they are walking."

"Walking? Why?" Rai asked.

"Because they are true warriors." He kids. Rai took that personally, but Kimiko and Clay laughed knowing it was a joke.

Later Rai, Clay, and Kimiko sat around the table to eat dinner. They all sat silent for awhile till Rai couldn't take anymore. "Well, what do you think they look like?"

"Well, there are four of them.." Clay said softly.

"You think they could be girls?" Rai said as hearts jump into his eyes.

"Only you wish for girls." Kimiko pushed him.

"You'd never know, Kimi. You could use some more girl company." Clay said smiling. "I know it stinks being with a bunch of dirty guys."

"Who are you calling dirty!" Rai yelled. Kimi smiled at Clay's thoughtfulness.

"Well, I guess it would be nice. Being able to chat about what I want for a change." She smiled and thought about all the girl chats she could have. Rai smiled at a thought he just had.

"She could be a gorgeous babe!" Kimiko was getting annoyed.

"RAI!"

"What, it could happen?"

Chase Young was sitting on his throne admiring his collection of minions that he had, his favorite was Omi. His newest Minion that was at the moment a little lion cub. "With you Omi, I will rule this deviled world." Wuya came after looking in the mirror of herself.

"And, what about me?"

"What about you?"

"Aren't I going to help rule the world?"

"Why?" He asked leaning on his fist.

"Because I'm all powerful!" She screamed. Chase then looked away.

"Whatever. There is more to worry about than who will rule by my side. Just be wary of yourself." Wuya surprised by the bit of concern. "There will be others that will aide, but along with their cooperation they will want power as well."

"How do you know this?" Chase just grinned.

"As you said, 'I'm' all powerful."

Jake went back to his home to make more Jack-bots to help the Xiaolin Dragons in the war against evil. He built as many as he could muster, then he heard. "Jackie! Come eat dinner!" He growled.

"Mom I'm busy!" He went back to work.

"With what?"

"None of your concern mom!" He didn't think that his mom would understand what was happening at this moment, but he could use something in his tummy. So he went up and ate some dinner.

The new Dragons didn't show up until the following day when Dojo screamed. "A Warrior arrives. A Warrior is here!" Everyone jumped with they heard that and rushed to the gate to greet this new warrior that was there to save the world. Master Fung was the last to come to the gate to greet this new warrior. The new warrior came in front of the gate and stopped at the crowd that has been waiting. She was a girl warrior with short blonde hair, and blue eyes and looked petite, she was in mostly black and carried what seemed to be two sets of weapons and a parcel. One long sword that was on her back attached by a leather belt, and two weird daggers by her side. On her wrist looked of gold gauntlets with spikes coming out one side on both. She showed no expression and didn't talk to anyone when she stopped at the temple. "See I told you she would be a girl." Rai said nudging Kimiko. Clay's eyes bugged as he saw this girl, she looked like someone he had known before but who? Master Fung stepped beside this blonde girl and said to the others.

"She is our new dragon warrior of Earth, she will help as best she can with the trainings of the samurai, and Clay, the reason why she looks so familiar to you is because she is your cousin." Clay was silent but Rai and Kimiko gasped.

"Clay has a COUSIN! That doesn't look like a bovine?" Clay jumped.

"Excuse me!" Clay said getting defensive. Rai smiled and said.

"Well, your sister looks like you with lip stick; I said it once I'll say it again. Don't get so defensive man! I'm just telling you she's gorgeous." The girl just stared at the two argue. Master Fung then said.

"That is enough! This is no way to behave in front of company!" Master Fung then turned to the girl. She then bowed and replied.

"My name is Christie Lynn Bailey, but please just call me Chris. I was trained by Master Shung, in Kihaku Temple in Japan. My style is of the Samurai, and my element is of Earth."

"Earth?" Rai said dumbfounded. "Clay is earth… don't you have to be a giant or wield enormous amount of strength?" Master Fung answered his question, while Chris got up from her bow.

"She wields earth because she has the same blood as Clay, they are family after all; and you don't have to have enormous amount of strength to have that element. It's based on focusing your energy, and Chris does very well I am told." Master Fung then turned to Chris; she had not shown one amount of emotion through this entire ordeal. "Chris, Are you hungry?" Chris nodded.

"I have had a long journey; I will need rest and some food. If you don't mind." She bowed in respect. Master Fung then looked at Rai.

"Some of my students could learn from you." Rai looked up.

"Hey?"

"We have some white rice cooking, sushi, and egg rolls waiting in the kitchen for you." Chris bowed thanking him.

"Clay, if you could. Take her parcel and put it in one of the spare rooms please."

"Yes, Master Fung." Clay said still looking at Chris, he did remember her, but when she was younger he remembered her to be always smiling and laughing. 'What happened to her?' Clay put the bag in the room closest to him; he would want to talk to her about what had happened. It's been years since he saw her, he was about six years of age and she was five. He remembered playing with her and always looking out of her and his sister. She would laugh if he fell in the mud, and she loved to make him mud pies. Then one day, her parents took her away and he didn't see her ever again. He would ask where she was, but everyone told him that she never existed and that he was playing with a make-believe friend. His sister was too young to remember her; she started to believe what everyone else said and thought he was making someone up. "Well, she is real! Now I know….I have to talk to her…" Clay then left the rooms and walked into the kitchen where Kimiko and Raimundo were staring at Chris eat a bowl of white rice. She had chop sticks in her hand and was glaring at them while she ate.

"What?" She finally said putting the bowl of rice down. Rai was taken aback by that rude comment, but he could understand how she felt.

"Can you show us one of your earth moves?"

"What?" She said looking at him strangely.

"I want to see you in action, and to see if you're as strong as our Clay." Kimiko hit her head with her hand and Clay looked at Raimundo. He was right, he was curious too at how well this girl could really handle herself. Chris leaned back and said.

"I am strong, but I'm possibly not as strong as Clay. I have to focus my energy, possibly more than Clay has to, but I do not try to use it so much, it drains my energy." Chris then realized Kimiko was at her sides looking at her gauntlets and daggers.

"Are these…. Shen-Gong-Wues?" Kimiko was bugged eyed. Chris nodded and pointed to the ones she named.

"This is the Gauntlet of Tebigong, and this is the Daggers of Teimami. I also have these two." She brought out a locket and a scroll. "This is the Wings of the Phoenix, and this is the Scroll of Casca." Kimiko was amazed.

"I had no clue there were so many more Shen-Gong-Wu that I wasn't aware of." Chris put back the locket and scroll.

"Not many do."

"Well, then can you!" Chris blinked.

"Can I what?"

"Show your AWESOME moves!" Rai was really desperate to see her in action; it's no doubt from hearing this from master Fung. She was stronger than them and could possibly do more damage. Chris got up and looked at Rai.

"Fine, if that will shut you up." Kimiko, Clay, and Rai couldn't believe she had said that to him, but they were also excited to see this top dragon warrior in action. She walked out into an opened space and got down on one knee, she placed her hands in front of her face; one hand had two fingers out and the other was a cup, she kept them there while she focused her energy. Then her eyes started to glow and bright light came from her hand with the two fingers out, then she yelled. "Seismic Punch!" She made her glowing hand into a fist and pounded the ground once with it. The ground suddenly rumbled and started to pulse out, and then the ground broke up on five different sides and made five different lines towards an unknown direction. Then it stopped and giant spikes formed up fast where they had stopped and remained there. Rai's eyes were almost out of his head.

"Oh my…." Rai was dumbfounded. Kimiko couldn't believe what had just happened. Clay pulled up his hat, and looked at his cousin. He couldn't believe how strong she was, not could he believe that she was now a weapon to help them rid the world of evil. "We have to go to Chase's domain and kick some dragon tail!" Rai said in triumph. "With Chris, we could win."

"No." Chris said, glaring at Rai and holding her now hurt hand. "I will not go without the other warriors."

"But!"

"I have a mission that I have to complete, and it does not involve me being a super hero and doing things by myself." She then turned away. "We need a strategy first before breaking our way into this Chase's evil layer, and it involves the other warriors as well."

"Do you know who they are?" Chris just shook her head 'no.'

"We were all trained by different masters, and in different places. I would not know where or what they looked like." Chris then rubbed her hurt hand and winced in pain. Clay noticed that she winced and went up to her.

"Your hand, its hurt." Clay then grabbed for it, but she backed away. "I'm not going to hurt you." She just glared then turned away and then let him look. "You hurt yourself every time you do that attack?" She groaned and replied.

"I have not fully taken control of my element, but I am almost there. Soon, I will not bleed like this." Clay then said.

"Let me bandage this up and maybe we can talk."

"No…. no thank you." She then turned away. "I would rather be by myself." Then Chris left for her room. Clay looked hurt and Kimiko stormed up getting really mad.

"How dare she say that! What is the matter with her!" Master Fung came from behind them and said.

"Well Kimiko, how would you feel if you were training since you were five, never having any friends, never allowed to have any fun. What would you be like?" Kimiko frowned.

"Just like her…." Master Fung nodded.

"Come now, it is time for bed. I believe another one of our new dragons will be arriving tomorrow." The others nodded and walked off to bed. Clay though couldn't sleep; he was so full of worry for his cousin. He wanted to talk to her, but as Master Fung said, she was not use to people. He had better give her time to adjust. Rai then walked into Clay's room and sat on his bed.

"Hey man! Can't sleep?" Clay shook his head.

"Nope, every time I try, I wake up again."

"Thinking about Chris, right? Me too.." Clay sat up.

"What!" Rai then grinned and said.

"Well, you're possibly thinking something else than me." Clay then made a fist.

"What are you thinking about there partner?" Rai got sweaty and grinned a big grin.

"Well, I was thinking what it would be like with her as my girl. She is very pretty, from someone of your family." Clay then grabbed him, nearly choking him. "Well, it's true man."

"Rai, I knew you were girl crazy, but man…. Why my cousin?"

"I thought that I could get permission from you…Gasp" Rai said hardly breathing, Clay then let go and Rai held his throat. "Well, better me than some jerk." Clay glared.

"Rai, you are a jerk."

"No I'm NOT!" Clay then laid down and rolled over.

"Goodnight Rai." Rai then knew the conversation was over, walked to the door and said.

"Night Clay." And he disappeared into his room. Clay then rolled over on his back.

'Rai and Chris.. What a dangerous mix.' And then Clay fell asleep.
