The Time has Come
Smurf-Chan
The Breather of Wind
Chris went into her room and shut the door; she couldn't believe what jerks they were. First she comes and gets stared at, second she gets ordered what to do, and third they asked her stupid questions and won't leave her alone. "What Jerks!" She screamed and through her long sword onto her bed. "How can they make me feel more like a freak!" She then looked at her bleeding hand and groaned.
/Flashback/
"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.
/End Flashback/
"I better get this taken care of." She said to herself and got out her medicine. She started tending to it, and then heard someone tap at her door. She got up and opened it. "Yes?" Master Fung was standing outside.
"It's time for bed; the others should come in time." She nodded.
"Yes Master." He then walked off and turned off the lights. Chris went over to her bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Clay woke up and went into the kitchen to find Kimiko and Raimundo already in the shuffle of making breakfast. "Aww, you started without me!" Clay said. He loved breakfast it was one of his favorites. Kimi smiled.
"We wanted you to relax; you did have it kinda rough the other day."
"And we poked you but you wouldn't answer.." Rai said then Kimi punched him. "OWW! That did HURT you know!" Kimi smiled and replied.
"I know, that's why I do it." Clay just smiled and walked over to help make pancakes. Kimi went back to making eggs and Rai went on to make more hash-browns and beacon. Kimi then smiled at Rai and said. "I know something you don't know." Rai looked at Kimi and frowned.
"What do you know?" Kimi smiled and replied.
"I heard your guy talk last night. So is it true? You like Chris? I wonder does she even like you." Rai glared.
"Of course! Who wouldn't?" Clay then looked skeptical.
"I doubt it partner. I think she hates you."
"No, she doesn't!" Kimi then saw Chris come in and grab a drink off the counter.
"Chris!" She said and went to her. Chris looked at her wondering what the talk was about. "Do you like Rai?" Chris blinked.
"Nope!" She then turned to drink her water. Kimi then asked.
"What about me? You like me?" Chris stopped drinking her water and looked at Kimi.
"You haven't annoyed me, so yes." Rai looked hurt.
"What? You don't like me?" Chris glared.
"Why would I?" Kimi then asked her another question.
"What about Clay?" Clay then looked frozen.
"We're family, I can't hate him." She then walked away and Rai was hurt. Kimi ran after her.
"That's not even an answer."
"How can she not like me?" Clay then put his hand on his shoulder.
"Well, think of it this way, at least I wont have to kill you now." Clay then smiled and walked after Chris. Rai looked after Clay and replied.
"I have to impress her somehow!" Rai wasn't going to give up without a fight. "Somehow, I have to show her…" Master Fung then came in the kitchen and looked at Rai.
"Raimundo, please come to the training area as soon as your done eating. We have some training to do with our new dragon." Rai then bowed. "Well, you're learning." Master Fung then walked into the training yard. Rai smiled, 'At least I can still impress Master Fung.'
At the training yard, Chris didn't have her weapons or her jacket on, and was standing with her arms crossed waiting for the training to begin. Master Fung came in and said.
"The way to skill is to learn from each other, the new dragon will learn from us, while we learn from them. Raimundo, I would like you to start training with Chris." Rai's eyes got big; he was going to get his butt whooped. "I would like you both to learn one thing from each other. Now get into position.." Chris got on one side of the ring and Rai got onto the other and faced each other.
"Master.." Clay started, "I would like to train with Chris." Master Fung then replied.
"Wait till Raimundo has finished, then you will get your turn." Clay then nodded and Kimiko gave him a pat on the back. Raimundo was getting overly nervous.
'I'm going to DIE!' Rai kept thinking in his head. Chris just grinned at his nervousness, and popped her knuckles.
"This will be fun…" She replied. Rai gulped. Master Fung then said.
"Now, let's Be….." Then a loud scream came over the temple. Dojo was flying at them quite fast, screaming his little head off and then crashed into Raimundo who was already faintish.
"I'm dead, aren't I?" Rai said holding his eyes. "I hurt everywhere! I can't feel my legs!" He said crying. Chris then went over to him.
"I didn't kill you… or touch you for that matter. Stop being a baby." She then looked at Master Fung holding a shaking Dojo. Master Fung looked at Dojo.
"Dojo, what is this screaming about?" Dojo then calmed down and replied.
"A new dragon is almost here…" Master Fung then smiled and replied.
"That is great, but next time… no screaming." He said glaring at the dragon and then walked towards to gate where the new dragon was to arrive. The girls went on ahead and Clay went to help Raimundo up.
"Rai, even that's pathetic by my standards." Clay dusted Raimundo off. "Just think of her as a smaller me." Rai then said.
"I know, but she's stronger." Clay laughed.
"She even said that she was not as strong as me, Rai. She said she had more focus than me, doesn't mean you have to go all weak-kneed now. Next time, listen more carefully."
"Yea, but! That attack was AWSOME!" He said holding up his arms. "How am I supposed to defeat someone like her?" Clay then said.
"Your not… It's training." Clay then walked over to the gate to meet the new warrior and Rai came running. Finally after a while of waiting the new dragon came up from her long walk. Master Fung greeted her and she respectfully bowed. She was wearing what seemed to be all black; she had a turtle neck no sleeve shirt on, a pair of black shorts, and black hiking boots on. On her hands were gloves that were fingerless for only some of the fingers, but the only ones that didn't have material on them were the thumb, pinkie, and fore-finger. She had a gigantic sword placed on a holster on her back, and was also carrying a large satchel.
"It's another girl!" Rai said not believing it. "If there are any guys in this group, he must be one lucky dude!" Kimiko then smacked him. Master Fung then smiled and then looked back at the new dragon.
"This girl, if our new dragon warrior of Wind. She is here to use her skills of the wind to aide us in our battle against evil." The girl bowed.
"My name is Aletia McCulloch; I am the Dragon warrior of the Wind. I was trained well for what I do. I have the ability to become wind, and to use them very well." Rai then looked confused.
"Who was your trainer, where did you come from?" Aletia then glared at Raimundo.
"None of your business.." was all she replied. Rai was just shaken up.
"What are with these new warriors? They are so rude." He mostly said to Clay and Kimiko. Aletia just smiled.
"I will help out as best I can." Rai then turned to his other warriors.
"Split-personality!" Master Fun then put a hand on Raimundo's shoulder.
"Raimundo, maybe the reason she was so rude to you was because you talked about something from her past that got her harkened up. Please be more considerate." Rai groaned.
"Yes, Master Fung." Aletia then smiled.
"Master Fung, is there a place that I can put my things?" Master Fung then nodded and asked Chris to take her belongings to her new room. Chris nodded and took them to her room. Aletia followed her fellow dragon. Rai, Clay, and Kimiko just watched as the new dragons went to their new rooms.
"I can't believe it's mostly girls…" Rai said. "I wonder why.." Master Fung turned to him and replied.
"Well, think about it this way… We had to have a boy/girl paring for these elements, you are a boy… so there had to be a girl. Kimiko is a girl so…"
"So, there should be a boy!" He then blinked. "One boy and three girls.. LUCKY guy!" Kimiko glared at Raimundo for that thought.
"So there will be a girl for the element of water?" Master Fung nodded. "I wonder if she will be just like Omi." Clay then groaned thinking about her yellow skin and round face.
"Poor girl…" Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay then went into the training grounds to start their training.
In the rooms, Chris had just put Aletia's stuff on her bed. Aletia was just watching her and then said.
"So, are you one of the people on my team?" Chris then looked at her and replied.
"I guess you could say that, my name is Christie… but please call me Chris. It's shorter and easier for people to remember." Aletia then smiled.
"What element are you?" Chris replied.
"Earth." Aletia smiled.
"You must be really strong to be earth." Chris shook her head 'no.'
"I wouldn't say that, I just focus some more than others." Chris then headed for the door. "We have to train, let's go." Aletia grinned.
"Okay!"
Everyone was waiting for them to come out, and Master Fung now had a new order of how these two new dragons were to battle. "To see how the new dragon warrior of Wind works, we will have Chris and her battle." Chris then grinned at Aletia.
"It will be a pleasure to battle a worthy opponent." Aletia nodded. They then turned to their side of the ring and bowed to each other and took their ready stances. "I will not go easy on you!" Chris said. Aletia replied.
"Catch me if you can, Earth!" Chris grinned at her and nodded. Master Fung took ready and shouted.
"GO!" Aletia and Chris then started for each other, Aletia kicked but Chris dodged, Chris punched but Aletia dodged. They did their moves so perfectly they were counter balancing themselves, no one hurt the other but blocked. Chris then jumped out of the way when Aletia did a fly kick and landed her knee on the ground, Chris then kicked but Aletia backed up. Chris then did her move.
"Seismic Punch!" and hit the ground, Aletia turned into wind and was able to avoid it, Chris was in shocked but glared at her failed technique. Aletia turned back into her form but much closer to Chris. Chris then did several back-flips to avoid being hit. Aletia then did her move. She then got up into the air and moved her arm in front of herself and shouted. "Tornado's Fury!" and moved her hand away from herself and several tornados came after Chris. Chris looked shocked but somehow held her ground. Aletia then came through the tornados at that time to get Chris by surprise. Chris looked in time to catch her coming her way and moved. They had paused in their fighting stance, breathing hard holding their positions. Rai and the others were in complete awe.
"Wow…" Rai said, 'How can they be so strong?' He thought. 'I wonder if the guy will be just as strong.' Then all of a sudden the two warriors came towards each other fast and both kicked with the opposite foot at each other. Then Master Fung saw enough.
"Battle will end now, thank you girls, you fought wonderfully." Master Fung then looked at his other dragons. "As you can see they both are at equal power, just think what they can do when they have all of their team together." Clay couldn't believe his cousin and this other girl. They were so powerful. Master Fung then looked at the girls, then at their clothing. "If you girls don't mind. Could you put on your robes?" Chris blinked and Aletia smiled and nodded.
"I have my own robes Master; I'll go put them on." Chris was still looking confused.
"Robes? I forgot mine at the temple." Master Fung then handed her their red robes.
"This will do fine for you." Chris looked at the red robe and groaned, her's was green. After they both changed from their black stealth suit, Aletia was happy to be out of something hot and into her silver robes, she could now move with freedom. Chris just glared as she wore the red robes, Rai then made a comment.
"Hey, you look cute." She then punched him in the face and walked off. Rai groaned.
"Ouch."
During that time they had free time to do what they wished, Kimiko and Rai decided chores were the best idea to get done, but Aletia decided to take a lunch break and eat awhile. Chris decided to do some Ty-Chi to balance her mind and body, Clay then came beside her and did some ty-chi too. Clay wanted to talk to her but he didn't know what to say.
"Um… Chris?" Chris still doing ty-chi replied.
"Yes?"
"What happened to you?" Clay said still doing his ty-chi, Chris stopped and sat down.
"What do you mean what happened to me?" Clay sat down as well and was finally happy for a chance to chat with his cousin.
"Well, you one day went away. People told me that you never existed." Chris blinked.
"I don't know what they told you.." Chris said looking at the ground. "But I don't remember anything but training at the temple." Clay looked hurt.
"You don't remember me?" Chris shrugged.
"All I know is that we are family. You and I have the same blood, the same power." Clay thought.
"What about the farm? Remember the farm? Remember my sister? Remember anything?" Chris just shrugged.
"I only remember the temple." Clay pulled his hat over his eyes to not show sign of crying.
"You use to be so happy… What happened?" Chris looked puzzled.
"What? I am at good mood."
"But, you don't laugh. When you were younger, you laughed all the time." Chris got up.
"I do not need to show emotions to get what I want, I do what I want. Now if you please, do not bother me with trivial things, I need to train." Chris then went back to her ty-chi and Clay just got up and walked away.
Kimiko and Rai were in the kitchen mopping the floor with their scrub brushes. Kimiko groaned as she tried to pop her back. "I hate cleaning this place. Especially with no Wu!" Aletia was eating her rice and heard her complain.
"It's not so bad; you could be doing something worse." Kimiko smiled.
"You are one of the only girls that will talk to me normally." Aletia smiled.
"I've never really had any friends before, the only friend I ever had was the wind." Rai got up from his work and replied.
"The wind talks to you?" Aletia nodded.
"Of course. Doesn't it talk to you." Rai looked down.
"Uhh… yea… sure it… okay no it doesn't. I never heard it say anything to me." Aletia just laughed.
"Don't worry so much, it doesn't happen for all." Kimiko then got up and sat down beside her just to take a little break. "So, what do you like to do for fun?"
"I like doing pranks!" Aletia said honestly. "It can get boring around the temple, so I pulled pranks on a lot of people. I wasn't very well liked." Kimiko grinned.
"Well, I guess, but I know a certain dragon that we can prank. Have any ideas?" Aletia thought a second.
"I know, why don't we switch his shampoo for honey and he'll get all sticky." Aletia laughed. Kimiko laughed hard.
"Yea! Let's do that!" Kimiko and Aletia went off to do their prank and left Rai to finish the floor.
"HEY! Thanks!" he said getting steamed up and getting mad. Clay then walked into the kitchen and got the biggest piece of meat he could find and started cooking it. Rai could tell he wasn't looking good. "Hey, dude… you okay?" Rai then saw tears come from his eyes. "Dude, what happened?" Clay then shrugged and wiped the tears.
"Chris doesn't remember me at all." Rai could understand how he felt but also understood how Chris felt. He could hardly remember being any younger than five.
"Yea, well, Chris was young back then. She was only a little baby; it's hard for people to think way back. Heck I can't remember what I ate yesterday!" Clay nodded.
"Your right partner." He then turned off the burner after his meat got done cooking. "I'll help her remember, somehow…but.."
"But?"
"I have no pictures, no nothing." Clay felt bad. "I have no proof." Rai smiled and said.
"As long as it's in here, it will be enough." Rai said pointing to Clay's heart. Clay smiled.
"Thanks partner." Then all of a sudden Dojo screamed, and you could hear two girls laugh their butts off. Clay and Rai were taken back and saw a sticky Dojo bumping into everything and have everything stuck on him.
"Get it OFF! Get it OFF!" Kimiko and Aletia came through the door laughing and Rai and Clay just stared at them. Kimiko then replied.
"What! It's funny." She then groaned. "Okay, we'll clean him." Aletia smiled and replied.
"At least it's more interesting here now!"
Then all of a sudden Jack Spicer came back to the Temple with tons of his Jack-bots. "Hey guys! How are you? Look at the army I made to help in the fight!" He then flew in and saw a blonde girl look at him and then he landed. "Who are you?" He asked but the girl stayed quiet and just glared. "Are the others here? Where did they go? Did they move?" The girl finally replied.
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? I'm Jack Spicer evil… no… that's wrong. Just Jack Spicer, I'm helping the Xiaolin Warrior defeat this evil."
"We are in no need for your toys or your pathetic attempt to try and help us. We can take care of ourselves." Clay and the others came out when they heard Jack.
"Clay! There you are! Who is this blondie?" Clay just looked at Jack and replied.
"My cousin..." Jack's mouth was hanging opened.
"You're cousin! But, why is she here?" Clay then rubbed his head.
"Well…" Kimiko came from behind.
"It's a long story Jack."
After they all talked about the new Dragon Warriors to help save the earth Jack was taken back. "Wow, new warrior to fight evil, and their stronger than you guys?" Rai and the others nodded. Aletia then replied.
"Dude, what's wrong with your teeth?" Jack then covered his mouth.
"Nothing." Rai then said.
"Let's get back on subject. You said you had something to help us in our fight?" Jack then stood on the table and replied happily.
"I have made some improvements on my Jack-Bots and I made tons of them to help us in our battle." He grinned. "They are ready at a moments notice." And he started laughing. Aletia was holding her ear.
"Tell him to STOP!" He stopped and groaned and felt humiliated. Chris went over to Jack and glared.
"I don't understand how this shrimp can do anything to help."
"Hey! Who are you calling a shrimp?" She growled.
"YOU! SHRIMP!" and Jack screamed his girlie scream. "If he can't stand my yelling, he won't stand a chance against this Chase." Chris leaned back on a pillar not believing this guy was trying to help. Clay nodded at Chris and said.
"We understand how you feel, but he has come through… sometimes." Clay said. "He use to be evil." Chris choked.
"He was evil!" Pointing to him. "Him little screamy boy! He was your enemy at one point? How come you put him in a league of huge ones, he's not worth it!" Jack groaned. Kimiko came up to her and said in a whisper.
"The reason now that he is on our side is because he lost his evil chi in the ying-yang world. With-out his evil chi he's like this." Chris nodded. "We could use his help… but for what we don't know."
"Well, just keep him out of my way."
At the evil lair of Chase Young, Wuya was gloating in her success in how she got her body back. She was now all powerful and couldn't wait to rule the world. Then all of a sudden a girl with long black hair was reflected in the mirror and was right behind her. Wuya then turned around and the girl was gone. She turned back and the girl was right in front of her. "Who!" She screamed but the girl put her hand on her mouth and said in a whisper.
"Shhh… Chase must not know I'm here yet. Let it be a surprise." Wuya got her mouth free and screamed.
"Who are you?" The girl grinned.
"I'm Alliyah, Chase's little sister and I'm here to help rule this world." The grin got wider and more evil. Wuya couldn't believe that such a young child could be so evil, but she grinned.
"We shall be an evil team!" Alliyah looked at her and said.
"Only my brother will rule and I'll be by his side." The girl then heard Chase come and disappeared. Wuya looked the way Chase was coming and saw little lion Omi by his side.
"I thought I heard you talking to someone." Chase said. Wuya just smiled and said.
"Nope, been talking to myself, and at my gorgeous form!" The lion Omi just looked on in confusion. She wasn't that pretty, but that was just him. Chase then growled and said to Wuya.
"Leave us! Omi and I have some training to do. Right Omi?" Omi nodded and turned back into his form.
"Right my Master…" Chase then looked at Wuya.
"I feel something wrong… Tell Katnappé to go to the Xiaolin Temple and look around. We cannot afford to lose what we have." Wuya nodded.
"Right Chase." Wuya said and went off to find that cat. Wuya found the free loafers sitting around a table taking in all that they could of their evil rein. "Katnappé, Chase wants you to go to the Xiaolin Temple and look for anything funny." Katnappé looked at Wuya and growled.
"I don't have to go where I don't wanna! I'm my own cat! Puwwr!" Wuya got angry.
"It's not a question if you want to! You were ordered! Now go!" She growled and said.
"Fine! But I'm taking any Wu I want for this mission!"
"Fine! Just go!" Wuya said walking away. Katnappé then got up and walked out the door.
"Don't wait up for me!"
At the Xiaolin Temple Jack was still trying to understand the concept of the new warriors. "So, where are the others…I'm only seeing two." Kimiko was sick of being the 'duh' police.
"Well, the reason for that is because they are not here, YET!" Jack backed off and said.
"Okay, Okay! No need to ring my neck." Clay put a hand on Kimiko's shoulder and told her to calm down. Chris and Aletia were making ready their wu, and that got Kimiko's attention.
"WOW! More Shen-Gong-Wu! What are they?" She asked Aletia. Aletia smiled and said their names, but didn't mention one of them and hid it from the others. "This is the Angel's Tunic and the Silver Whip!" Kimiko was so impressed.
"Wow! So many wu that I didn't know of. Are their more out there?" Master Fung answered that question as he walked in.
"Of course, there are other wu that hasn't been discovered yet. They were made by different people, but are a little more effective. Soon, these new wu will come forth and along with you going on these missions you will also face Chase and his hordes of evil." Jack whimpered. Chris just groaned at his wimpiness and Aletia wasn't too thrilled either.
As the Warriors were talking among each other, Katnappé stood on their roof top looking in on them. "Now I wonder who those two girls are?" She went in closer. "They don't seem familiar. Who are they?" Then she heard. 'New Dragon Warriors.' She blinked. "New warriors? That doesn't sound good!" Then an alarm system went off. "Oh Crap! I got spotted!"
Jack and the others were talking when they heard the alarm. "What is that?" Kimiko asked. Jack smiled.
"My new alarm system, I installed it! Thank you!" Looking at Chris who just glared and then looked away. All the warriors went outside and saw Katnappé standing on the roof.
"Katnappé!" They all replied.
"What are you doing here?" Kimiko asked getting into fighting mode. Katnappé just grinned and replied.
"I found out your little secret! And we will destroy you before more of these warriors come to be! You will be finished!" Jack then took the charge.
"Go Jack-Bots! Attack!" Katnappé looked annoyed.
"I can't believe you are good now Jack! I thought you were evil!" Rai then replied.
"The Ying-Yang Yo-Yo! He lost his evil chi in there!" Kimiko jabbed him.
"Would you shut up?" Katnappé grinned, and dodged all the robots and destroyed most of them.
"Really? Well, I'm tired of Evil Jackie, but I don't like Good Jackie any better. Pwrrrrr!" She then got out the Ying-Yang Yo-Yo. "I will find his Chi and give him his evil side back." Kimiko smiled.
"Fine go, see if we care! Just don't think you'll come out the same." Katnappé purred.
"Oh silly girl, you think I'm that dumb! I already have the other Yo-Yo, I took it from you when you were to busy chatting up a storm!" Kimiko looked stunned.
"What! How?" She then glared at Jack. "Alarm system, HUH?" Jack just giggled in embarrassment.
"Well…" He tried but knew it was too late. Katnappé went into the Ying-Yang world and in time brought out Jack's evil chi and then popped the cork and made him drink it. He resisted at first but then he was back to himself. "Wow! That hit the spot!" He then grinned his evil grin. "Well, Xiaolin losers, I'll be seeing you!" Then he flew off with Katnappé not to far behind. Kimiko was just in disbelieve.
"How could this of happened?" Clay just shrugged and Rai had no words to say, then Chris came in.
"He's better on their side. He will hurt them more than help." Chris smiled a little and Aletia grinned.
"She's right; he really didn't help us much." Kimiko looked at her feet.
"When are the other warriors suppose to be here?" Master Fung answered.
"Sometime tomorrow or the next, hopefully a new Shen-Gong-Wu will make itself known and we can get to it before they do.
Katnappé growled as Jack was hugging her and she was trying to get him off. "Thank you for rescuing me!"
"I didn't Rescue YOU!" She said clawing him. "I couldn't stand you being a goodie-goodie but then again I don't know." Jack just smiled.
"I knew the team needed me!" Katnappé glared.
"We don't need you. We don't even want you!"
"But… I know everything that the Xiaolin losers are planning!" Katnappé smiled.
"You do, do you…" She purred. "You might be more useful than I thought."
Back at the Xiaolin Temple, Master Fung was training everyone till night fall and said. "Tomorrow will be a very busy day. Now is time for bed, tomorrow early exercise and chores." Everyone groaned except for Chris and they all headed back to their rooms. Kimiko went into Rai's and Clay's room.
"Wanna do some cards before bed?" Kimiko smiled. Clay nodded and Rai couldn't wait to kick butt at the game. Kimiko also went to ask Aletia and Chris if they wanted to join. They both came into Clay's room; since it was the biggest, and they sat down in a circle. "The game is gold fish!" Chris looked at the cards and was confused; she blushed and started to sweat. "What's wrong?" Kimi asked. Chris just put down the cards and said.
"I'm just tired, I'm going to bed." And walked out. Clay, Rai, Kimiko, and Aletia looked pretty upset that she left.
"I wonder what's wrong." Rai asked. Aletia shrugged.
"I dunno, maybe she did have to sleep." Clay knew that wasn't it.
"Do you believe that she doesn't know how to play cards? She possibly has never seen cards before." Rai felt bad.
"Aww.. I could have taught her! She didn't have to be embarrassed." Clay shook his head.
"Naww.. Let her be, you can't catch flys with vinegar, you need honey."
"Clay she's not a fly." Clay glared.
"Whatever, let's play cards, as Master Fung said… we have to wake up early tomorrow." Everyone groans.
"Thanks for reminding us Clay!" Rai said. He then looked at his hands and looked at Kimiko. "Got any twos?"
