Chapter 17

Kimiko, Clay, Omi, and Elijah sat in the waiting room in silence. It had been several hours since the ordeal and Master Fung had sent Kash and Raimundo to the waiting room. Raimundo needed stitches for his arm…

"Please, explain to us about Kash," Kimiko asks finally breaking the silence.

"Kash is Numezi Kadera Dragon, a shadow demon dragon and obviously Kash isn't his real name. I don't know it…

Flashback:

"But Wuya was defeated what are we supposed to do now?" someone said, a bright young beautiful woman with long flowing red hair.

"We need to get her back," a rather tall, brown haired male answered her.

"Yes, I know Kindao," the women said, she, Kindao, and the rest of Wuya's followers (that were still alive), had all gathered.

"All we have to do is open the puzzle box," another female, a short looking one with short blonde hair said, "Right, Yukisara?"

The first woman, Yukisara, nodded. "But we have to get it from those monks…"

"So first, Shida, we need to gather power," Kindao said addressing the second woman.

"And who we gonna do that?" Shida asked annoyed.

"You remember that little dragon that Wuya had for a little while?" said a second male, this one blond, with blue eyes and a commanding presence.

"That cute little black one that belonged to Dashi?" asked third female, this one was also blonde with long curly hair, happily remembering him, "mmm… Elijah baby!"

"Yes, that one, Nihara," the blond male told her.

"He was cutie… too bad he got locked up in that box," Nihara said with a sigh, "and then Wuya got locked up in a box too… how ironic."

"Well, get on with it, Amir," hissed Yukisara anxiously.

"That wu that she was trying to make him create, this is it," Amir told them grinning evilly, and revealed a small golden cuff.

"That's it?" Yukisara shouted in surprise looking it over.

"Oh, it's beautiful!" Nihara shouted and swiped it from Amir holding it up in the sun.

"We can use to get the monks," Amir explained.

"But it's useless without being activated," Kindao asked annoyed with the young blond.

"Yeah, stupid," Shida yelled at him angrily.

"But we can get it to activate," Amir went on, still with that smirk. "All we need is a host."

"A host?" Kindao asked, considering the idea thoughtfully.

"It'd have to be one powerful host to feed that wu," Yukisara sighed.

"What about a Numezi Kadera Dragon, that should do the trick," Nihara spoke up, smiling happily, "I've seen a cute little blond one running around in the forest."

"A Numezi Kadera!" Kindao shouted wide-eyed.

Nihara smiled and nodded happily.

"He'd be hard to capture, but it would be worth it," Amir said, voicing his thoughts.

"I could conjure up something," Kindao said, in a rather arrogant way.

"I bet you could," Amir said with that mischievous smile of his.

"Then its settled," Yukisara said with the voice a finality.

They had succeeded in capturing the dragon and they'd even succeeded in binding the dragon to the wu. But what they hadn't planned was the wu itself. It didn't care what side they were on. In the end the wu had been the one to dispel the last of Wuya's faction. And all in one crushing blow.

"So, that's what happened?" Kimiko asks after Elijah had finished telling them.

"Was it just me or was this Amir guy…" Clay starts to say.

"Not really on their side," Elijah says finishing off his sentence. "It seems that way to me, as well."

"It's an odd story to say the least," Kimiko tells them. "But it's the truth so…"

She stops talking letting her sentence finish itself. Just then the nurse came in.

"Raimundo's awake and he would like to see you," she said and lead the others to his room.

"Hey, Rai!" Kimiko says and hugs him.

"Hey," Raimundo says. He looks away from them. "What happened? The last thing I remember was being in Seattle."

"SEATTLE!" Kimiko and the others say in surprise.

"Partner, that was quite a while ago," Clay says.

"Are you sure you don't remember anything after that?" Omi asks in shock.

"It would make sense," Elijah sighs, "that was when he got infected, right?"

"Who are you?" Raimundo asks finally seeing him.

"We've got a long story to tell you," Kimiko says and starts pulling up chairs for them all to sit in.

"And what about him?" Raimundo repeats as the other warriors sit in the chair.

"He's part of it. So you'll just have to wait until that part comes up," Kimiko sighed in annoyance, and thought, 'Rai's so impatient.'

End of Chapter 17

That's the end... i'm thinking about doing another one for after this. The villain would be Amir.
