Me: (hugs all of readers, including Kosmic) Thank you all! Thank you all! It's really encouraging me up!(looks at Lobo) What did you think...Lobo!

Lobo: (flirting at some of a female readers)

Me: Lobo! Stop flirting them and it's your turn to do DISCLAIMER!

Lobo: (beaming happily at all readers) Lady Lizgon does not own Xiaolin Showdown, Sheng-Gong-Wu, and any characters in it. Only she owns us and our sheng-gong-wu, a brown cat named Rai, and a ton of artworks of Xiaolin Showdown.

Me: Thank you Lobo! (sees Yamato pants behind the door) What's wrong? You seem like you saw a ghost.

Yamato: Worse than you think! (hammering the bolts on the door)

In background Khu was still running away for his life from love-stuck Evila.

Chapter Seven - The Lost Sea

While the Heylin Tiger of Darkness borrowed Gills of Hamachi and swam in under water to searching for the hidden script, Raimundo was waiting for him to comes back but his cousin hadn't and begin to worrying.

Where is he now? It hadn't take him long time to find stupid thing. He thought his dark forest green eyes scanning over the lake where the lost temple was under.

He closed his eyes and lend his back against the huge rock, relaxing gently.

"Hey partner!"

The Dragon of Wind opened one of his eyes to see his friend cowboy ran toward him but the Heylin Tiger of Metal wasn't with him. "Oh hey Clay... Where's Yamato? I thought he's with you."

The brazilian blinked at the panting cowboy, his huge hands were on his knees while he was inhaled and exhaled slowly. He can see some sweats on the cowboy's forehead and the white pale look on his face like he had seen a ghost.

"What's matter? You looks like you saw a ghost." Rai asked frowning, stood up and wiped some dust off his favorite tan trouser, looking up at Clay.

"Well shoot, we're in big trouble partner." Clay replied, looking back behind him to see if a sea-monster had followed him and thankful she wasn't.

Rai blinked at him and opened his mouth to asking something but he was interrupted by the strange noise behind them, looking over to the lake.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!

The bubbling loudly in middle of the lake, grew increases and louder than ever before. The boys did not noticing the sky grew darker and the full moon rising up behind the gray clouds, the familiar yellow glowing eyes in the forest behind the boys.

The voices...

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR, WOMAN!"

That's my brother's voice... Lobo...

"BECAUSE YOU'RE GROWLING LIKE A RAID WOLF!"

Ciara... Why she is yelling at my brother?

"Ciara! Lobo! You two must be most calming down and mediating right now!"

Omi... Why are they yelling around me?

"SHUT IT YOU IDIOT MONK! I'M NOT GOING TO FRIGGIN' MEDIATING, GOT IT!"

"YEAH! AND NO SWEARING, LOBO! WHAT IF YOUR KID BROTHER MIGHT HEARD IT BY ACCIDENT!"

"Calm down, guys... You two are yelling very loud maybe that might be attracting the attention of the demons."

Kimiko's there too? She sound so worried and calm, what's wrong with Lobo? Unless... no...

"I'M NOT YELLING, GIRL! I'M JUST ITCHING TO KILL SOMETHING! WENCH, DON'T YOU DARE SUMMONING THOSE FRIGGIN' VINES!"

"DON'T CALL ME WENCH, YOU BASTARD! AND DON'T NEAR HIM YOU MUTT!"

Opening his pale silver eyes to see Ciara growling, using her power to keep the ill-tempered boy still and moving away from the frightening little monk, Kobo frowned at them confusing and sad look on his face.

"Lobo? What's going on?" He asked rubbing his eyes and blinked twice at them, suddenly he was buried his face into the long silver hair and feel like he need air.

"Bro...Choking... Need...Air!"

Lobo blinked and then grinned sheepishly, letting his kid brother go and seem calmed down now. Kobo can see the girls sighing in relief and poor monk looks confused at sudden change of hearts Lobo had.

"Don't tell me there is a full moon, Lobo?" The Heylin Tiger of Light asked, looking up at his brother who was taken back in surprise at him.

Ciara scoffed. "SO that explains why he's happy and playful then all of sudden he's blood-thirst monster!"

Lobo scowled at her, feeling the regret of revealing his secret to her while age ago in Master Young's cave.

"Not to mention look what he did looking at me most like if I am meat!" Omi cried out, pointing shakily at Lobo.

Lobo scowled darkly, glowering at Omi and resisting the urge to smirk at the way the monk cringed at his icy glares.

"QUIET DOWN YOU THREE! YOU KNOW YOU ARE ALL IMPOSSIBLE AND HOPELESS!" Kimiko shrieked, easily losing her temper because of her patient was starting to thin, little by little every second. "ALL OF YOUR USELESS BICKERING NEVER GET US ANYWHERE!"

The silence fell upon them, the bird's calling and the grasshopper's chirping can be heard around the forest, all of four staring at her with their jaws dropped.

"WELL? LET'S GET GOING!" Kimiko snapped, turns her keels around and sulking through the forest where she had a bad feeling about her boyfriend might be in trouble.

Kobo blinked and looked up at Lobo confusingly. "I think you're mention something girls got easily mad is called PMS-ing, Lobo, what does it means?" Kobo asked innocently, not realizing he just got his brother in trouble when the aura of raging around the girls gives off, scaring Omi away.

"Uhh..."

—

Khu was still in under water, dodging some of blue beams and tried shot some of his dark power, narrowing his cold amethyst eyes and aimed his hand at the sea demon.

"Black Nightmare Darkness!" He yelled, secretly glad that he wore the Gills of Hamachi or he would be gurgling nonsense and his power wouldn't work right.

The black beam sliced through the water, bolted toward the sea demon and missing him because of his graceful moves that help him dodged easily.

Duh! He's a SEA demon, all water around me are his useful escape and attacks! You idiot! He thought growling silently at himself, not realizing the blue beam nicked the green collar off his neck and fell down into the darkness void.

Crap!

His hands clutching his neck and choking violently, the Heylin Tiger of Darkness managed his right hand down at the ground and unleashing his power forcing himself upward like a rocket.

Closing his amethyst eyes tightly when he flew speedily through the freezing water, holding his breath.

Until then...

With a great splash he broke the surface, but continued to shoot upward like a rocket out of the water. When his power dissolved quickly, his body reached a peak and then began to fall down again.

"AYIIIIEEE!" With his startle cry, his arms flailing uselessly in the air and his body toward the middle of a lake.

"HOLD ON PAL!"

Khu snapped his head at the direction of the voice, seeing Lobo in his sea serpent with Clay, Rai, Kimiko, Ciara, Omi and Kobo rode on his back. "Lobo?" He whispered fell on the wet scale of the dark blue serpent with a oof.

The dark blue sea serpent smirked in somehow creepy way for a snake, swimming in the lake and suddenly the dark mermaid popped out of the water in front of them, smiling darkly at them.

"Dyriis!" All Xiaolin Dragons yelled in unison, causing Heylin Tigers look confused and blinking at them.

Omi pipped in, glaring at the dark mermaid. "Where is most hero warrior Klofange? What have you done to him, Dyriis?" He yelled pointing his finger accusingly at her.

Dyriis shrugged, waving her hand ignoring Omi's yells and a familiar manic in her light blue eyes. "I have done to him nothing." She said simply.

Silently enraging at the grinning mermaid, Omi opened his mouth and then suddenly a huge shadow towed over them.

"She have done nothing to him. My siblings did." The voice coldly behind them, causing them whirled around except for Lobo and staring at the sea demon float above the water. "Lady Dyriis, you have done excellent job, even for a heylin like you."

Dyriis smirked darkly at the Xiaolin Dragons and Heylin Tigers. "Thank you my Lord."

Lord Susku smiled coldly at the dark mermaid, rising his spear-like trident in the air slowly. "Time for rewarding you well, Lady Dyriis... Aerial of Trident!" He yelled, blasted his powerful attack at the mermaid.

Dyriis's face smiling happily changed into a gasping in horror-stuck at the light blue beam and it went through her chest, spilling her blood on the water. Her mouth was full of blood, dripping from her cold lips.

"L-L-L-Lo-r-r-d S-s-su-sku...W-w-wh-y?" She managed to whispered sadly, dying in the water with a pool of blood surround her.

"You are of no use to me now. I am merely using you for luring the brats to me." Lord Susku replied in his monotone voice, turning his head to the frightening kids. "Your turn to die, children."

The sea demon thrust his staff in the air above his head, causing the black clouds whirling in the circle in the darkening sky and the water of the lake starts to flooding up all over the island...

...Wait, the island was sinking slowly, even for the children to realized that.

"Pretend to die, children!" Lord Susku roared, transformed into the black and blue dragon without arms or legs (much like a dragon statue sheng gong wu I forget) and he hissed in snake-like, revealing his white fangs and fork-like tongue in the air.

"ICE!" Omi yelled, thrusting his small hands at the dark sea demon and was taken back when the sea demon opened his mouth, beamed the dark blue through the ice blast.

"Foolish...Neither your weakling magical items nor your sacred powers will harmed me!" The Dark Snake laughed, smirking darkly at the children and Lobo in his sea serpent form.

Suddenly, the sea demon took a sharp inhaled quickly and looked down at his chest, noticing the steel spike stuck out of his chest and his blood flowing down faster. "Wha...?" He turned around and noticed the lone warrior stood there on the sinking ground.

"Brat!" Lord Susku hissed angrily, unaware of he had made his first mistake for turning his back on his enemies.

"AAAARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"

The sea demon was howling in pain while he was shocked by the Dragon of Wind's lightning attack and turned his head back to the children, realizing that Lobo had no longer a sea serpent but transformed into the white feathered dragon in the air.

"I have no settle for this foolish! Aerial of Trident!" Lord Susku roared thrusting his powerful staff at the children and the white feathered dragon in the air.

Khu turned back to Raimundo and handed his Shadow Blade to him. "Use it with your lightning! Hurry it up!" He ordered quickly, thrusting it into his cousin's hands.

Rai nodded and aimed the Shadow Blade at the approaching powerful attack and the sea demon. "SHADOW...BLADE...LIGHTNING!" He yelled, swinging the silver sword in the air.

The black wind blade with the streak of a lightning bolts around it, whirling through the thin air and easily slicing through the light blue beams and toward the sea demon.

The black and blue sea dragon widened his red eyes and halted in the mid-air, feeling the second pain of the black wind blade with lightning hit his body, shocking him in painfully.

His angry red eyes in pain, watching at the brazilian child and almost can see the ghost of his nightmare. Damn you Shinyu...

His dragon body transformed back to his humanlike body, slowly falling down toward the lake of the sinking island, leaving his blood in the air.

With a great splash his dying body slammed into the cold and freezing water, leaving the blood and his staff floating on the sparkling blue ocean as the island had give one final sink.

Khu sighed in relief and looking back to Yamato, to his own surprise to see him turned his head to meet his eyes. They silently looking into each other until Yamato broke the connect and turns his back, walking into the darkness behind the sinking forest.

Khu frowned confusing at the sudden change of behavior. This is not like him... Almost like he's back to his old self when Lobo and I met him in first time. He thought closing his eyes, ignoring the wind swept his dark brown hair.

"Hey guys, Look at this!"

Khu opened his cold amethyst eyes, hearing Kobo's words and looking down at the ocean. His eyes widened in surprise and dropped his jaws. "What the..!"

Since the sea demon was defeated, the ocean of his control seem disintegrated sort of like some date deleted Lobo had seen the cartoon with his kid brother.

"All of them are just disappeared!" Kimiko and Ciara exclaimed gaping at the disappearing ocean.

Omi looks hurt and sad suddenly, looking down at them. "Oh...this is most troubling we are fly in this situation."

Rai smacked his forehead with his right hand and groaning in furiously. "No, no, no! It's land, not fly! I mean...ARGH! Never mind!" He snarled, not caring about the small monk's look hurts.

"Ow, girl what was that for?" He glowered at his girlfriend, rubbing his arm and pouts angrily. "Be nice, you jerk!" Kimiko growled, clenching her fist angrily.

Khu shook his head and turned his attention back to Omi. "What's the problem, cur-ball monk?" He asked, ignoring his hey I am a warrior not a cur-ball monk rants.

"My element is gone."

All of the warriors blinked and whirled their head toward the small monk at same time. "WHAT!" They yelled in union, scaring poor little monk to death.

—

A evil smirk on her face, she pricked the red rose with a deadly thorns up from the poison bushes.

"A dark needle will be revealing your fears, Little Yamato... Yes, you can run all you wish. You never outran your own fears." She whispered, laughing cruelly echos through the darkness.

The red blood petals begins to falling down from the rose and being swept in the freezing wind with them.
