Chapter 16-

Kimiko screams in horror and Clay and Omi run towards the rubble.

They get two feet before they're blocked by Kash.

"Oh, and where the hell are you going!" He growled.

"Prepare to eat dust," Omi yells at him getting into battle stance.

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Kash squeaked sarcastically and held up his hands as if defeated before stopping and sneering at the dragon of Water.

"You will be before I'm through with you," Kimiko snarles as she steps beside Omi and Clay. "Let's kick his butt."

Clay and Omi nod and all three prepare to fight. Kash quickly crashes into Omi knocking the small monk to the ground before turning on Clay. He delivers the cowboy a blow to the head that knocks him back. With a growl he turns to Kimiko. She jumps at him preparing an aerial attack just to get knocked back. He growls at her standing in front of her; eyes narrowing.

Just then Kash was grabbed by one leg and hurled onto the other side of the room.

"You think a little rubble will stop me?" Elijah said quite calmly, "Well, don't worry because of that I had time to see what's going on… Your chain is visible."

Sure enough that was a faint glow and see through chain attached from Kash's arms and around his neck to back where the real shengongwu was still lying on the floor near Raimundo.

"What the…!" Kimiko yells out in surprise.

"Your not really the wu, your just a puppet," Elijah says crossing his arms, "I'd like to know how this happen."

Without further warning Elijah grabs Kash holding him down.

"Get off of me!" he hisses angrily.

"Sorry, it's the only way I can see the past from you," Elijah sighes as bent over locking lips with the other.

Several seconds went by as images sailed through Elijah's head. Finally he released the demon and got off of him.

A bright angry blush smears Kash's face and he hisses at the intruding dragon.

"Oh, I see," Elijah says solemnly. "I feel so sorry for you… being reduced to that."

"What are talking about?" Kimiko shouts angrily at the dragon. "You not going to fight him now!"

Elijah shakes his head. "No, I'm still going to fight him…."

"Good, let's fight!" Kash growls cutting Elijah off and jumping at him.

"You know it's impolite to interrupt," Elijah tells him annoyed, dodging him. Kash ungracefully collides with the floor.

He whips around angrily and charges again.

Elijah once again dodges, "You see I have an advantage on you."

"Bull shit!" Kash yells furiously, but doesn't make to charge him again.

"Well of course, you're bound to the wu for one and unwillingly so everything you do is hesitant even after so long," Elijah explains as if he were saying something completely obvious to everyone. A smile mischievous smile lights his face. "Plus you're not even a demon. You're a dragon like Dojo and I; Numezi Kadera, right? That's why it's so easy for you to move about without being seen."

This seems to infinitely piss the creature off and it charges at Elijah once again this time swinging a kick at him. Elijah was expecting an enraged reaction from the wu it wasn't liking this current state of affairs and didn't want to lose it's host; but Elijah hadn't expected the other dragon to be so fast it hit knocking him to the ground and sickening crack was heard.

"Uwww, something's angry," Elijah teases spitting out a small amount of blood. He tries to get up but only gets kicked in the ribs.

"You bastard, you can't beat me!" it hisses and adds an extra kick. All the sudden he whips around 180 to Elijah. "And what the hell are you doing!"

Kimiko momentarily freezes up; the Tenkanokoku Kashuten in one hand.

"What are you talking about?" she asks innocently shoving the cuff behind her back.

"Kimiko, what are you doing! Stay out of this he'll hurt you!" Elijah warns worried.

"All right," she says hurriedly, "you take this," and she throws it at him.

It sails over Kash's head and he makes to grab it but Elijah swipes it first. He stares at the dragon a sad look on his face and Kash stares back.

"I was going to kill you," Elijah sighs. "But now I see there's a better way."

Kash realizes what's happening a split second before but by then it's too late; jumping at the other dragon. Elijah jumps back as well, avoiding the other's desperate attack.

Two seconds later the real wu is in the air. Elijah chanting a spell and no one can hear the words; although it's not English anyway. The chains leading to Kash seem to electrify and the dragon is on the ground in apparent pain.

'Damn, it's giving me trouble,' Elijah thinks to himself and concentrates on his spell and the wu harder. Kash's screams turn up a notch, it's still doesn't want to let go. Elijah focuses even harder and tries to keep the other dragons pain from getting to him. If he stops now Kash will still be hooked to it. It might end up killing the dragon but he needed to do it. Kash's death would be necessary. Even though he'd rather not kill the innocent dragon. He needed to end it.

Kash was screaming and writhing on the floor. Lacerations trace their way onto his skin, his clothes were torn, and blood split out his nose. His screams stopped for instant as he hacked up a large amount of blood.

The Xiaolin Warriors stare on in confusion. Kimiko's heart went out to the poor dying dragon. Elijah had said he was innocent and the wu was controlling him. He really was being torn up by that awful thing.

Without warning something slices at Elijah and thin line of blood was seen oozing from his left cheek. He only concentrates harder and ignores the pain.

The wu starts glow brightly it seems that Elijah spell is starting to work. Cracks were starting to form. As the SGW broke up it sent one last brutal shockwave to Kash. Kash screams out in utter pain as blood spills from his mouth. Now that it was defeated Kash panted for one long second before keeling over.

"It's finally over," Elijah muttered dropping his head in sadness. He had won but would be the price?
