Woooooo another chapter. Yay... nothin' much to say today... but oh yeah, the cement guys never came... so they're gonna have to learn to get over not being alive anymore...

I don't own Xiaolin Showdown, but I do own Vesta! Cause i'm cool like that...

As they arrived, Dojo was complaining about spur sores in his sides. But, as usual, the now 5 Dragons ignored him and went searching for the Ring of Fire. They were searching for about 20 seconds before Vesta pointed to the tip of a mountain and shouted,

"THERE!"

Everyone looked up to the top of the mountain. They didn't see a thing. Clay came behind Vesta and put a comforting cowboy hand on her shoulder.

"Uh… Vesta… there's nothing up there…" he stated, worried about the girl's sanity. Vesta just shook her head and pointed again, more sure of herself then last time.

"No, you don't understand, I KNOW it's up there!" With that she escaped Clay's grasp and shot a fireball towards the mountain with a rousing "FIRE!" With the light passing by it, a small shimmer showed that something was indeed at the top of the mountain.

Kimiko was fuming, "How did you do that?" she asked, her arms flailing wildly, "That's my thing!" Vesta laughed,

"Uh, hello!" she said, knocking on Kimiko's head, "I'm your daughter, remember? I have many elements," counting them off on her hand, she stated, "Yours… whatever my daddy's is… whatever my personal trainer's is… whatever my Master's is… and any combination of the 4!"

"Wait…" said Omi, "Your Master's? You mean you have your Master's powers as well?" he asked, getting as close as he could to the girl's face with such a short stature. Vesta giggled,

"Oh, did I forget to mention that? Silly me…" she looked down at her shuffling feet, "Yeah… uh… my Master was kinda in the room too when I used the Sun Chi Lantern…" Everyone's eyes were 5 times their normal size. "What?" she asked, "I was, like, 4! It wasn't my fault that my Master thought I was old enough to use Shen Gong Wu…" They were still staring at her. "Okay, I know what you're thinking… and yes." She admitted, shrugging her shoulders in defeat, "I have all of your powers. Which means that I am… I am all 4 of the Xiaolin Dragons" she gestured to herself, "All wrapped up in one little package."

Raimundo scratched his head, "You mean, you have no teammates? At all?" he asked, looking confused.

She shook her head, "Nope… just you guyses future selves." She sat on that barrel again, "I work alone… no partners… no friends…" she sighed, "Well, I guess it's for the best, really… I tried to go to a normal school once, and I fit in really well too!" Her smile returned, only to disappear just as quick, "That is… until gym class came. Let's just say that a Prophecy's powers are not best used in a dodge ball game." She got up and kicked the barrel, which then shattered to a dozen pieces, "We had to use the Wushan Geyser and our best healers after that day. I wasn't aloud to leave the Temple again." Everyone was quiet for a moment, but she looked up and smiled again, "But that's okay!" she said, picking up the pieces and putting them in her knapsack, "Because once I'm done with this, my powers will be easier to control, and I can go to school again!" She was beaming as she headed towards the mountain, "So the sooner we get this Ring, the sooner I can be normal!" With that she jumped from rock to rock, almost reaching the top in a matter of seconds.

"Jeez…" said Raimundo, sitting on a nearby boulder, "I guess being part of an ancient prophecy isn't all it's cracked up to be."

"Yes," said Omi, sitting next to his good friend, "It seems that great power really does come with great responsibility."

Clay sat with his friends, "I can tell you one thing, she sure is a mature 14 year old." He took off his newly repaired hat, as if in respect, "Why, most people I've known would completely crack under that kind of pressure."

Kimiko sat in front of them all, on a smaller boulder, facing the larger one. "Yeah… I mean, she's not my daughter yet. But I'm still kinda proud that she could take something like this so easily." As she said this, she was thinking: On the outside. I bet on the inside she's one huge storm of confusion and turmoil. She looked to the mountain and saw a large glow. On one end of it was Vesta, on the other… Jack Spicer! Kimiko jumped up, "Guys, I think it's about time for a Xiaolin Showdown!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While this deep conversation was going on at the bottom of the mountain, a more violent one was taking place at the top. Jack Spicer, of course, reached the Ring of Fire at the same time as young Vesta, and some pretty nasty words came from this meeting.

Vesta chuckled, "Well, well, if it isn't my good friend, Jack Spicer." She sneered, laughing at him.

"What?" asked Jack, confused as ever, "I have never, and I repeat, NEVER seen you before!" After a closer look, he said, "Wait! You look like Kimiko… but… younger… and a different nose… and is that a wig? Who are you?"

She laughed, still holding on to the Ring, not ready to ever let go, "I'm Kimiko's daughter stupid. From the future!" she patted her ponytail, "And… don't diss the hair…"

Jack's goggles fell off his head, but he soon recovered, "Uhhuh, yeah right. What's your name, Kimiko imposter child?" he sneered.

"Vesta," she growled, "Oh, and just FYI… You're gonna be bald in the future, so ha!" before he could respond, the Xiaolin Dragons were at the top. "Oh look," she said, "That's my queue." She pointed to Jack, "Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"

"You're on, Wannabee!"

Vesta's eyes grew intense as she held out her Shen Gong Wu "My Fist of Tebigong"

Jack held out his, "Against my Eye of Dashi."

"Whoever can stay on one foot without falling the longest gets the whole load." She smirked, "And just to make it interesting, the ground will shake every minute for 10 seconds."

"Alright, lets go."

Simultaneously they cried, "XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"

The mountain split in three, a larger portion for the 3 Wudai Worriers, and 2 tinier portions for the Showdown "Contestants". Random bits of rock hung around them in midair.

Once again at the same time, they yelled, "GONG YI TAMPAII!"

They both lifted one of their feet, and instantly, the ground started to shake. While Vesta stood, seemingly not moving, Jack was flailing around violently, but somehow managed to keep his balance. When the ground stopped, Jack whipped out his Shen Gong Wu,

"EYE OF DASHI!" a large bolt of lightning flew out towards the young girl, who stood perfectly still, almost unaware of the large amount of static electricity flying towards her. When it seemed she would surely get hit, she lashed her fist out in front of her,

"FIST OF TEBIGONG!" the large glove absorbed the static, and everyone thought that that would be that. But Vesta's arm started shaking and moving backwards, while her body remained perfectly still. Again, she shot her arm forward, and the same blast of lightning that was shooting towards her only seconds before was now careening towards non other than Jack Spicer.

Completely caught off guard by this new tactic, the lighting hit the Evil Teenage Genius, causing him to start to lose balance. Forgetting the actual challenge, he put his other foot down. The mountain instantly became whole again, and the Ring of Fire slipped effortlessly onto Vesta's finger.

"Thank you!" she said, waving as Jack fell down the side of the mountain. She herself jumped down and landed on the now full size Dojo, waving up to the rest of the Dragons, "ARE YOU COMING OR WHAT?" she screamed, laughing the entire time over her victory.

Omi was still shocked. "That…" he gasped, finally starting to move, "Was the shortest Showdown I have ever witnessed…" He blinked and snapped out of it, "She truly is a powerful warrior."

"Duh!" yelled Raimundo as they made their way down, "What part of 'Part of An Ancient Prophecy' do you NOT UNDERSTAND?"

And... thats it! Yeah, i wanted to make it like a super short "Wow shes good!" showdown... and... i think i did a pretty good job! Anyone who can guess the pop culture reference in THIS one gets... something? i dont know

Oh, and a little thing...

I really really really really want reviews, but if you're a Rai/Kim fan and all you're going to say to me is "OMG, why did you make Clay the dad? it should totally be Rai! Rai/Kim foever!", please DONT review. I want reviews that tell me how i'm writing, whats good about it, and what i could improve on. Not "you suck cause you're not like the majority of people in this fandom."

Please non of that.

But please do give GOOD reviews!
