Forgetting and Recovering
Chapter 5
Jenrya282: I'm really happy with the reviews I got for the last chapter, even though it's only 4 reviews, but still, I'm really happy with them. Right now, I like to give a big thankkies and a large chocolate bar for the reviews/readers who has supported me since "A Change of Life" Please give an applause for Kosmic, DeafLizgon, animeang317, Angelus-alvus and someone who use to be in fanfiction and still supports my stories, Fuwa2 Kyara! I just found out that in the last chapter, I missed Clay finding his activated Shen Gong Wu, I totally forgot about him when I was writing about Kaz finding his Shen Gong Wu…how can I forget about Clay? Stupid me, well, guess he gets an easy win! Now, time to reply some of the reviews…
Angelus-alvus: Thanks, I guess my years of writing stories have got me worked up! I'm still bad at grammar but I'm working on it, expect my grammar to have improved soon!
DeafLizgon: I hope I can write the battle scenes as well as chapter 5 in "A Change of Life." I expect this to be a very long chapter…
Kosmic: (bows and apologies) yes, I know we solved everything in msging (messaging) but still, I feel bad…I should have paid attention to most of the stories I read…thanks for telling me about the last two epis I want to see, now I know when I would expect it…shared program! Where did you get one of those? If I got that, I wouldn't be crazy about KidsWB not showing it!
Vietnamese-glamor-girl: Didn't both to capitalize your name, hope its okay... Yeah, I know who became leader too; I also read it in and yes, I want to see it really badly too. Like Kosmic told me in her review, it will show up in May. I hope they do or I'll kick their bottoms personally. While I was pairing them up with the activated Shen Gong Wu, I tried to make it so it's almost related to their elements, like the Storm Blade with Raimundo and the Flare of Tai with Kimiko. It's a wind-wind and a fire-fire and for Omi, well, I didn't want to use the water element Wu yet so I decided to partner him up with the lantern and yes, it's another lantern.
Now, since that's over with, let this very long chapter begin!
Hong Kong
The field started to change and the buildings moved to the side. A river appeared in front of the two competitors and it stretched to an island nearby. Both of them had three pebbles in their hands and they grinned at each other.
"Let's see how good my friend Master Fung has been teaching you, young monk." Master Monk Guan said.
"Let's see how you like it when I beat you, Gong Yi Tenpai!" Omi cried and raised his hand. He moved it back and quickly pushed it forward. He let the pebble skip on the water as he counted how much it skipped, 5 times. (A/N: I know it's impossible for us to do it, but since they are Xiaolin warriors, you better believe it…)
Master Monk Guan smiled and tossed his pebble, 6 times. Omi's face was red with frustration and once again, threw his pebble, it skipped 5 times again. Master Monk Guan threw his pebble again and it skipped 6 times.
"Let's see how you beat this." Omi said. "Wudai Neptune Water!" He threw the pebble and summoned his water element at once, the pebble skipped and it landed on the jumping water so it jumped farther. Omi smiled brightly as he finished counting the time it skipped, 10 times.
"Yes, beat that!" Omi cried and jumped up and down. Master Monk Guan laughed and threw his last pebble.
"Elemental Dragon Tsunami, Water!" Master Monk Guan cried and the pebble bounced off the water and hit the island. Omi's jaw dropped to the ground and he fell to the floor. Everything turned back to normal and the people on the ground ignored the two people on the roof of the Chinese restaurant. Master Monk Guan smiled at the fainted Omi and placed the lantern, the Falcon's Eye and the Fancy Feet beside him.
"Stay strong young Dragon of the Water." He whispered and jumped back into the shadows.
Taiwan
Kaz's family restaurant changed from its Chinese style to a whole new bigger place. The walls grew bigger and the sides got skinner. On the side of the wall, there were poles sticking out and a hockey game score board was shown on the very top of the building. Kaz had his blue battle armor with a lightning style on his chest and was holding a kitchen knife. Beside him, Daitaro was also holding a kitchen knife,
"What got you decided on a food chopping contest?" Kaz asked him.
"I was the best cook for my old friends and since we're in a restaurant, I thought my old trick would come back." Daitaro replied. "Now prepare to lose."
"I don't think so, Gong Yi Tenpai!" Kaz cried and food started to fall from the roof of the restaurant. Both of them jumped on the poles and started to cut food, for one food they cut up, the score board added a point for them.
"Wudai Spark Lightning." Kaz cried and lightning came out and shocked the food to crisps. While the lightning was busy shocking the food, the score board kept on adding points to the shocked food. Daitaro continued to cut like crazy and the score board was going crazy, adding points to both teams. When time was about up, Daitaro saw that Kaz had cut up more food then him so he smiled and raised his hands and cried:
"Elemental Dragon Storm, Lightning!"
Thunder balls came out of his hands and it moved towards the foods, on its own. The food burned to ashes and the score board added his burned ashes.
Kaz thought fast and took out the Reversing Mirror.
"Reversing Mirror!" Kaz cried and held it to one of the thunder balls. The thunder bounced off the Reversing Mirror and it hit a fruit.
"Reversing Mirror!" Kaz cried again and went to a thunder ball. Daitaro smiled and moved his hands, the thunder ball that Kaz was aiming for moved out of the way and it hit a fruit. As the time hit zero, the score was 31 Daitaro and 30 for Kaz, Kaz had lost this Showdown. The restaurant turned back to the way it was and from the roof, came down Kaz. Kaz landed safely on the floor and looked at Daitaro.
"Well, you won, congrats." Kaz said and turned around.
"No, I should be thanking you." Daitaro said and Kaz turned back to him. Kaz saw Daitaro holding out the Spark of the Blade, The Denshi Bunny and the Reversing Mirror. "You let me regain my old times and I got to see how much Master Fung has taught you, young Dragon of Lightning."
"But…I can't accept the Shen Gong Wu's, you won them." Kaz took a step back and looked at Daitaro.
"No, it's alright; you may take them if you wish." Daitaro said. Kaz nodded and smiled at Daitaro.
"Thanks." Kaz bowed to Daitaro and took the Shen Gong Wu's. When he got the Wu's, he bowed to him one more time and left the building. When he disappeared, Daitaro put on his sakkat and began to walk out.
"Um…sir, you forgot to pay for your food." Kaz's mother said to him and he sweat dropped.
Tokyo
The buildings around Kimiko and Wuya went underground and volcanoes appeared, very far from them, was the Tokyo Sea. Under the volcano was Kimiko, wearing her blue battle armor and holding the Lotus Twister. Beside her was Wuya, who's holding the Thorn of Thunderbolt.
"Gong Yi Tenpai!" The volcanoes started to erupt and the lava moved down quickly. Both Kimiko and Wuya both ran towards the sea. Around them were poles from the buildings, this gave Kimiko a plan.
"Lotus Twister!" Kimiko cried and it wrapped around her arm. Her arm grew and she reached for the pole. She swung herself from pole to pole and Wuya growled. She turned around and saw the lava coming towards her and she's way behind Kimiko. She grinned and took out a black cloak.
"Shroud of Shadows!" Wuya cried and covered it around her. She flew up and kicked Kimiko on the back. Kimiko landed on the floor with a thump and got up.
"Hey, that's not fair, that wasn't one of the Wu's we wagered." Kimiko yelled.
"You're fighting evil, what do you expect?" Wuya asked her and removed the cloak. Kimiko growled and began running again,
"Thorn of Thunderbolt!" Wuya cried and pointed the thorn at Kimiko. Lighting shot out and Kimiko easily dodged the lighting.
"Wudai Mars Fire!" Kimiko yelled and sent fireballs towards Wuya. Wuya caught them and quickly sent them back to Kimiko. Kimiko jumped out of the way and was inches away from the lava. This gave her an idea. Kimiko jumped up towards the lava and raised her hands.
"Wudai Fire Shield!" she cried and jumped in the lava. Wuya looked in the lava and mumbled something before running to the sea. Just then, she heard rumbling behind her and turned around to see a lava dragon facing her.
"Kimiko, what have you done?" Wuya gasped.
"Destroying cheaters." Kimiko yelled and the dragon went towards Wuya. She heard Wuya scream and she chuckled. She went to the sea and touched it, the place returned to normal. She saw the burned Wuya lying on the floor and she gather up the Shen Gong Wu's, including the Shroud of Shadows.
"This is what happens to cheaters." Kimiko said and turned around to her father's company.
Texas
"Woowee, looks like its easy picking for me." Clay said and picked up the Forest Kama. "Let's see what this Wu does, Forest Kama!"
Clay raised the Forest Kama and the ball on it started to move. It bounced to the three lumps on the kadama and the ground started to shake. The wind in the dessert began to pick up and the wind blew. The wind created a small sand tornado and it moved around until it died down.
"I guess this thing summons the nature depending on the places." Clay thought. "But first things first, I need to get out of here."
Clay looked up and saw a long green object that glides along the blue sky. Clay knew he needed to make a signal for Dojo so he stomped his foot on the desert and send a large sand wave upward. The 40 feet dragon looked down and flew towards him. Clay jumped on Dojo and they left to pick up the others.
New York
The subway they were in changed and the side walls fell and hit the floor. No light was seen on either side of the subway and it was pitch black. The only light they have were small candles on the side of the subway. They were standing on a flat black field and all around them was pitch black. Raimundo was in his blue armor, with the Third Arm Sash around his waist. He looked at Jack to see him shivering, clutching the Changing Chopsticks tightly. Raimundo shook his head and remembered that Wuya told them that Jack is afraid of the dark. He turned to Chase, who was looking away from them, the Lasso Boa Boa around his arm.
"Alright, let's go, Xiaolin Showdown!" Raimundo cried and the candles went out. They heard a scream that sounded like a girl and both Raimundo and Chase sweatdropped. They knew that there's only one person could scream like that. The candles immediately came back on and they heard Jack sigh with relieve.
"First things first, let's get rid of Spicer." Chase said and went to Jack.
Jack screamed again and took out the Changing Chopsticks. "Changing Chopsticks!" Jack quickly yelled and shrunk to the size of a grain. Chase looked down and saw Jack and lifted his foot.
"I changed my mind, let's squish Spicer." Chase said and brought his foot down. Jack screamed, knowing he can't get away in time. Before the foot squashed him, Raimundo came from behind Chase and tackled him, preventing him from squishing Jack.
"Leave him alone, even though he's also my opponent. This fight is just between me and you." Raimundo said.
Just then, Raimundo felt something climbing up his leg and he looked down to see Jack.
"Thank you, thank you, oh thank you." Jack kept on crying. Raimundo picked him up and placed Jack on his hand.
"Look, I only saved you so you won't get in the way of our fight, now scram." Raimundo said and flicked Jack off his hand. They heard Jack screamed but knew he wasn't gone.
"Now, since he's out of the way, let us really begin the fight."
"I'm ready, time to devour you for betraying me." Chase said and ran to Raimundo. He started to throw punches and kicks to Raimundo but he easily dodged them.
"What's the matter Chase; you're loosing your touch?" Raimundo asked him and threw a punch at Chase. Chase blocked that punch with his hand and flipped Raimundo down. He placed two fingers at Raimundo's neck and smiled.
"No, have you lost you touch of fighting?" Chase said. Raimundo growled and placed both hands on the ground.
"This is not over yet, Wudai Moon, Wood!" Raimundo cried and vines came out of the ground and knocked Chase off him. "This is what you get…for hurting my friends! Wudai Star, Wind!"
Raimundo sent a gale of wind towards Chase and nearly blown Chase off his feet but Chase stayed on the floor.
"It seems you have improved since the last time I saw you." Chase said and charged to Raimundo. "But now, it ends. Monkey Strike."
Raimundo growled and cried:
"Repulse the Monkey."
Raimundo blocked Chase's Monkey Strike and smiled, so did Chase.
"Duck Eating Crackers, Mole attacking Horse, Horse drinking Water, Dogs playing roulette, Mantis Kick, Cat playing fiddle, Spider doing the Hokey-Pokey, Sparrow Eating hotdog, Monkey reading Shakespeare, Fox Stomping Grapes." Both Raimundo and Chase cried at the same time, throwing punches and kicks and blocking them. After all that, both were tired.
"It seems you have forgotten our dear friend Spicer." Chase said.
"Nah, I'm just having fun right now." Raimundo said and lifted his hands. "It all ends here, Tiger Gale, Wind!"
Raimundo sent a strong Gale towards Chase and Chase pushed some back at Raimundo with his hands. Both were blown off the side.
"Third Arm Sash!" Raimundo quickly yelled and the third arm caught the side of the field. Chase laughed and fell to the bottom and was out of the field. But the arena didn't change back, and Raimundo knew why. He pulled himself up and saw Jack on the middle of the field.
"This shouldn't be too hard." Raimundo said. Suddenly, Jack noticed that Raimundo's eyes weren't green, they were red.
"Um…Raimundo, what's wrong with your eyes?" Jack asked him.
"Oh nothing, just get ready fool because I'm not gonna saves you again, Tiger Forest, Wood!" Raimundo cried and high trees and vines came out of the ground and tied up Jack.
"Wha…what are you going to do with me?" Jack cried.
"Ripping you to pieces like I should have in the past." Raimundo said with a smiled and the vines started to pull outward.
"AHH! UNCLE! UNCLE! JUST STOP! I GIVE UP!" Jack cried and the field turned back to normal. Well, not all is normal, Raimundo was holding onto the key, the Lasso Boa Boa, the Third Arm Sash and the Changing Chopsticks. Jack was still tied up and was about to pull into pieces but before it can do that, a bunch of fireballs came down from the sky and burned all the vines and trees. They disappeared under the ground and Raimundo saw Kimiko and the others hop off Dojo. Raimundo smiled and placed the Wu beside him.
"Raimundo, what are you doing?" Omi asked him.
"What am I doing? I'm doing you guys a favor of getting rid of this worm." Raimundo said. "Now get out of the way or I'll have to get rid of you fools too."
"Raimundo, this isn't like you." Kimiko said. Tears started to form and drop to the floor.
"What's the matter Kimiko? Afraid that I, your love, will kill you?" Raimundo asked.
"Raimundo, stop it, what's wrong with you?" Kaz asked.
Raimundo covered his ears and shook his head. "No, you can not do this to me; I'm not going to kill my friends!"
The others looked confused and got to their fighting positions. "Raimundo, if you have to attack us, we will not hold back." Omi said.
They heard Raimundo screaming from the other side and held his head. He was growling and thrashing all around. Until when Raimundo stopped, they saw his red eyes turning from green to red to green to red.
"Raimundo?" Kimiko said. "Raimundo, if you're there, speak to us."
"You don't have to worry; I'm just using his body."
'Raimundo' looked up and gave them an eerie smile. "I'm here to give you Xiaolin Monks a warning, don't mess with the Hybrid Beasts. You can not stop our goal of releasing the doom that will destroy your peaceful place so this is a warning, if you interfere, we, the Hybrid Beasts will take the life of this boy I now control, and we will destroy his life bit by bit until the very last drop. This is a warning, do not interfere."
After that long speech, Raimundo fell to the floor with a 'thump' and was unconscious. The Wu was beside him and all was quiet. This was one day that none of them would forget.
Jenrya282: There you have it, a new chapter up! I'm sorry for the late reply but I was having difficulties with this story and I had so much studying to do for school and outside of school…I'm such a sad person. A very long chapter indeed, anyways, hoped you liked it, baiz!
