Lobo: (look lazy and opened his mouth to argue with me)
Ciara stepped in between the bickering of me and Lobo with an annoyance look on her face.
Ciara: Alright that's enough! And should I do disclaimer?
Me: Of course. (shot a angry look at Lobo)
Ciara: (smiled politely) 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.
Lobo: Enjoy it!
Chapter Ten - Black Seed
In the tree house of the Black Forest
The forest demoness smirked cruelly at the cowboy and small monk voodoo dolls stood on the plastic map of the wood area. She reached for the cowboy voodoo doll and picked it up, hovering over the small monk.
"Playing dolls never get old as usual." She whispered to herself, smirking as she smashed the cowboy voodoo doll's body on the small monk voodoo doll and holding them down to the ground.
—
Nearly the crater in the black forest, the cowboy was laying there squashing poor small monk under his body.
"Please you must remove your enormous self from me, my giant friend!" The small monk muffled under the huge cowboy's body.
"Sorry, partner." Clay apologized, standing up and seized his fallen cowboy hat from the ground. He turned back to the small monk and stick his hand out to him. "Grab my hand, partner."
The Dragon of Water looked up at the cowboy's hand and nodded, grabbing his hand as he pulled himself up. He wiped some grass off his red sleeves, looking around and something caught his black eyes.
"Something caught my eyes, my giant friend! Look!" Omi exclaimed, pointing at the ancient stone wall with an prophecy symbols.
The center of four symbols on the wall, they are the dragon of Xiaolin, the tiger of Heylin, the phoenix of Shinobi, and the tortoise of Ninjitsu. On the top of the center was a symbol of Wisdom, on the below of the center was a symbol of Friendship, on the left of the center was a symbol of Love, and on the right of the center was a symbol of Courage.
If he can look closer to the symbols, he could see the symbol of the balance (yin-yang) behind the whole symbols on the wall. One stood on the dark side, held the symbol of evil and the another stood on the light side, held the symbol of good.
Inside the center of the symbol, there are 12 elemental orbs in the order of the holy circle - Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, Light, Darkness, Lightning, Wood, Metal, Shadow, Immortal, and Spirit.
Omi frowned, confusing at the twelve elemental orbs. His eyebrow knots up in confusion when he thought over about the mysterious two elements he hadn't seen or meet them before. How can Immortal and Spirit count as an elements?
His fingers flew toward the 12 elemental orbs of the holy circle and touched it gently. Suddenly, the circle was pressed back startled the Dragon of Water and the wall slide down quickly, revealing the entrance before the small monk and the strong cowboy.
The Dragon of Water and Earth glanced at each other, confusing and interested. They entered into the entrance, not aware of the wall behind them slide back shut tightly.
—
The screen sudden change to static, angering the Forest Demoness. She snarled at the object and whacking it with her fist.
"Stupid TV. They can't work ever properly! Stupid weakling humans." Lady Meku muttered darkly, kicking the televison over and shattered its screen glass.
She huffed, stalking angrily across her hall way ignoring the cowering look of the forest slaves and servants. "I must prepare the poison of the potion for the child of light."
—
On the right path, Khu and young Kobo walked down and stepping over the dead logs while they're walking.
He glanced down at the young child and eyeing at the worn, white cloth wrapped around the small, fragile hands. He frowned noticing that the child was still carrying the silver white mirror in his hands.
SSSSSSSS!
The Tiger of Darkness was taken back to reality, glancing around the black forest surround them. What was that I heard? Surely, it was sound like a snake yet it do not sound like a real one. He thought, his amethyst eyes hardened.
A small frightening yelp behind him, he whirled and sees Kobo was trapped into the long root of plant-like flower reminded him of a green forest snakes.
"Hold on, kid!" He yelled, ran toward the child and rising his Shadow Blade in the air. "Shadow ----"
"Oh! Non, I can not allow you do, Tiger of Darkness!" The attacker laughed in his heavy french accent, shaking his flower-like head. "Au revoir, brat!"
Next thing he knew was the world turned into darkness, and he was knocked out cold. The last thing he sees was the frightening and worry look on the child's face and heard the familiar voice of his cousin echoed through his talkie-walkie.
—
She smirked, looking down at the black liquid in the potion. The black seed is a dangerous potion that can weakening the child and slips him into the coma.
"Madame, here is the child."
She heard the familiar heavy french accent and turned around to see him, smirking at the sleeping child in his arms. "Ah, good. Gigi, do as you wish to defeat the dragon of wind you seek."
The evil heylin plant grinned evilly, hold Lady Meku's hand and kissed her hand before disappeared behind the forest wood doors.
Lady Meku make a face and wiping her hand on her dark robe, looking down at the sleeping child. She smiled, opening the cap of the black potion and pried the child's mouth easily. Pouring the poison into the child's mouth.
"Sleep little child. Sweet dreams." She sang, laughing as the last drop of the Black Seed.

Raimundo cursed softly, turning off his talkie-walkie and looked back at his lover, Kimiko. "He wasn't answering it. We should turn back and help them!" He asked, trying not to panic and worrying about his cousin.
Kimiko nodded in understanding, turned around. "Let's go!"
"Oh, no, no, no you don't!" The familiar voice of the heavy french accent echoed their ears as they looked up seeing Gigi in the monster form.
"Gigi!" Raimundo and Kimiko shouted in unison, surprising to see him there. They quickly dodged the attack of the poison plants and remained into their attack form.
The battle against the evil heylin plant began.
—
Lobo blinked, staring down at the unconscious leader of the Heylin Tigers. "Err.. Khu?" He asked, poking him in the ribs and received no answer from his leader.
Ciara shook her head and whacked his head with her fist, smiling widely when she received a sharp yelp of pain from the Tiger of Shadow. "Won't work, Lobo. He's out cold now."
Lobo pouted, nursing his second bump and glared at Ciara and blinked when he saw something fly behind the Tiger of Wood. "Huh? What is that?" He asked.
Ciara turned her head to where Lobo was looking at and it was the pure white falcon fly toward them, landing on the Tiger of Wood's shoulder. "Hmm? A message?" She said, seeing the small scroll that was tied to the falcon's leg.
"Why is that thing carried the little piece of a useless paper?" Lobo muttered darkly, tossed the unconscious leader over his shoulder.
The white falcon suddenly looked angered at his insult and squawked, "I am no that thing and this scroll is not a useless paper! Respect your elder! Sheesh, kids have no respect."
Lobo and Ciara jumped bit in surprise, staring bewildered at the talking falcon sat on Ciara's shoulder and they seem speechless in the state of shock.
The pure falcon sighed, rubbing his forehead with his left wing. "This is going to be long time." He muttered to himself.

In the Heylin Temple, Yamato narrowed his dark red eyes at the sun behind the black mountains and wondering why the Dark Lord hadn't coming out of his bed chamber. He pounced at his thought and trying to find any reason why.
Suddenly, it hit him in cold reality when he realized about one thing truth behind the dark lord. The immortal of the night creature...
A shape-shifting vampire.
