Hey there! Well, I'm gonna try and actually write a story that's more than one chapter! This is something for me recently, and I PROMISE that I will finish it!
I don't own Xiaolin Showdown… oops…
In the year of 2032, a young girl sat in the same garden that her mother once meditated in, a long 21 years ago. This girl was of a medium height, just a little taller than her mother was when she was this age. Her long black hair was tied back in a ponytail, and she wore a red robe with a blue sash. She sat Indian style; her eyes not closed quite as softly as usual, a small bead of sweat collecting on her brow. Something was wrong with the girl; she didn't seem to be feeling her element as she usually does. Her Master noticed this, and left his quarters to talk to his apprentice.
"Young Vesta," the Master Monk stated, "What is the matter? You don't seem to be as into your meditation as you normally are. Is there something on your mind?"
The young girl, Vesta, stood and bowed respectively to her Master, "Yes, Master." She stood facing him, having to look down in order to see into his eyes, "It's just that… Gosh darn-it, I'm 14 already!" she yelled, kicking the dirt beneath her feet, "When is it going to happen?"
Her Master chuckled, and instructed her to sit down once again, "Say your mantra, Young Vesta. We both know how it calms you."
She nodded, and did as she was told. Softly shutting her eyes, she chanted "She will be born when she claims her sire, the daughter of two Dragons mortal. She shall be born of-" She gasped in pain and grabbed for her arm, which all of a sudden started hurting. This was easier said then done, for when she grabbed it, her hand slipped right through. Vesta opened her eyes in surprise, once again reaching for arm. It was almost transparent, and everything would just go through it. "Master!" she gasped, "What's happening?"
The Master Monk reached into his sleeves and pulled out a familiar Shen Gong Wu, The Sands of Time. "It is time, young Vesta; you know what you must do."
She accepted the Shen Gong Wu, becoming solid again as she did so. "Thank you, Master." She raised her arms, "SANDS OF T--" Just then, the wall of the Temple came crashing down, a Heylin witch on the other side.
"You will not be leaving anytime soon, young Dragon!" she screamed, setting to fire at our young heroine. Just as she attacked, her Master jumped in front of her, taking the blow.
"Go, Vesta!" he screamed, dodging the all-to-familiar witch Wuya's firepower, "It is time!"
Tears in her eyes, Vesta once again raised the hourglass Shen Gong Wu above her head, "THE SANDS OF TIME!" and she was gone, watching her wounded Master fall to the ground protecting her, and swearing her vengeance against the evil Heylin Witch.

"Look," stated a 20 year old Kung Fu cowboy in the year of 2011, holding a destroyed hat in his hands, "All I'm sayin' is that you could at least get me a new one!" he waved the hat in front of a 19 year old Brazilian's face.
The teen pushed the hat away, "Clay, I'm sorry that the Eye of Dashi scorched your hat, man. But all I'M saying is it's not like I aimed for it or anything! It was an accident!"
An 18 year old girl who was sitting off to the side with a handheld, waiting out the fight for the past 30 minutes, finally got tired of it, "Guys, get over it!" she took Clay's hat, "Clay, I'LL fix your hat! And Raimundo," she said, glaring at the now shaking Brazilian, "YOU are paying for the needed materials! Fabric, thread, needles, the works!" she walked towards her room, checking out the damage and grumbling.
17 year old Omi, who had been watching a safe distance away, walked up to the rest of the male Dragons, "I did not know that Kimiko was skilled with a needle and thread!"
"I sure do hope so," said Clay, "My head feels naked without that hat…"
Just then, they heard a scream coming from the sky. All three looked above their heads, and saw a black dot falling from a dizzying height. As it fell closer, they noticed that it was a girl! Clay reacted first, running towards where the girl was falling.
"I gotcha!" he yelled, "MANTIS FLIP COIN!" he flipped into the air and caught her, landing perfectly on his feet. The girl was close to unconsciousness, her eyes adjusting to the light. When Clay's face finally came into focus, she smiled.
"I made it…" she whispered, letting her head droop to the side, "I finally made it…" she slipped into the realm of unconsciousness, drooping in the young man's arms.
"Uh... guys!" he said, turning towards his friends, "I think we need to find Master Fung..."
The two remaining Dragons stared at the girl confused, and then at eachother in the same manner.
Wondering what couple it's gonna be? Well so is everyone else in the world. But I'm working really hard on this so pleeeaasssseee review!
