Chapter 3: reveal yourself part 1

"OWWWW! WATCH IT!" In Jacks so called 'evil' lair he was patching up the wound he received from the clocked creature that had almost broke his leg and spine. A medical-bot was tending to his caste, but knowing Jack not even a fluffy kitten would be delicate enough. "I don't see how some dark figure of pure evil could do so much damage with just one, OW!… chop." He pouted and rubbed his leg as he thought over how close he was to finally getting a shen-gong-wu only to be over powered by a strange force such as this. He hadn't seen it's face but it's hands seemed familiar, he just couldn't place them. Fear started to creep over him, not like when ever he had to flush the toilet but something way more ominous. "When I get my hands on that dark but powerful…well, very powerful…hold up I'm getting of track." The tremendous fear of this being was making seem even less confident as usual. "(Cough) When I get my hands on that freak, I'm gonna make it pay. Then they will all PAY! MHAAHAAA!" Little did he know that crimson sparkled its deathly glance on him, waiting for its sweet revenge.

Raimoundo hadn't slept that night. The struggle he felt inside the girl was to terrifying, even for someone like Raimoundo who had a lot of experience with emotional pain. Not even the tranquillity of the gardens could quieten his mind. 'Isn't Kim feeling like this? She was there to. Did that girl just pick me? Dose she think I've gotta save her? What can I do?'

"Hay Rai, are you ok?" Kimiko had been worried about Raimoundo since last night. He had been acting like he was thinking way too much than normal. She wasn't the only one who noticed his strange behaviour though. The other monks, Dojo and Master Fung had all felt the disturbance in Rai's mind.

"Huh? Yeah I'm fine." He didn't seem to be paying his full attention when he answered and this made them more worried.

"Raimoundo, you must break out of this strange mood you are in."

"Snap out." Clay corrected the big headed monk.

"This is no time for snapping him!" Omi reacted, standing in front of Raimoundo as though he suspected Clay to do something bad to his Brazilian friend.

"That's not what I meant, little guy." Clay was a little taken back by Omi's reaction. Raimoundo sighed deeply, and Kimiko looked at him trying to read his thoughts. They were so jumbled up the only thing she could figure out was something was wrong, and only he could fix it.

"WHOA! Grade A shen-gong-wu alert people!" Rai broke out of his thoughts to take interest in the newly activated shen-gong-wu as the others did. Dojo was shaking uncontrollably which was normal when a wu activated, but he was finding it hard to hold the scroll without dropping it. Kimiko held it up and unravelled it to reveal a man holding what looked like a perfume bottle.

"I swear the Shen-gong-wu are getting more and more wired by the day." Clay exclaimed.

"This is true. It is like Grand Master Dashi went through and authors block."

"He's getting closer." Rai announced. Omi gave Rai a glare and a pout.

"Its called the 'Essence of Eros'. This allows the owner to make anyone fall in love with them just by thinking of the person and spraying themselves with the Shen-gong-wu." The monks looked at each other wondering why you would need to fall in love with someone.

"No matter how confusing the shen-gong-wu is, it is our duty as Xiaolin worriers to collect every one of them." They all climbed on Dojo's now enlarged form and flew of into the sky, a strange feeling running down Raimoundo's spine.

It was a long journey to Greece. They had to take it slow because of the storm that was brewing above them. Sharp shards of rain fell upon them, causing them to shiver. There was a clap of thunder in the distance and Dojo flinched.

"I knew it, you are afraid of thunder and lightning." Taunted Kimiko.

"Ok, OK! I admit it just don't rub it in." he replied in a very nervous tone. Something dark hit Raimoundo's mind causing him to jolt his head side ways. He could have sworn he felt something go past.

"Rai, partner. Are you shore your ok?"

"Yeah, I think I am." Rai looked down at Dojo's scales. Suddenly they became very interesting.

The storm was replaced with limestone buildings and farmland full of olives and grapes. The bright green trees seemed to turn to water as they flew above them.

"Wow, I've never been to Greece before. It's so beautiful here."

"I agree with Kimiko. This is a most wondrous place." Clay just smiled slightly, as he was still worried about Rai, who seemed that he was in a completely different universe. Both dragons were shook violently from their worries as Dojo trembled so madly that he almost fell from the sky. After he realigned himself again he explained,

"whoa, the wu sense is strong here. But I can also feel disturbance."

"A disturbance? What kind of disturbance?" All of Raimoundo's attention was now on the dragon's words as they flew down into a crater and landed on the strangely blank wasteland of its base.

"I'm not sure, kid." He clenched onto his elbows, hugging himself and shivering, "but it's giving me the hebbie jebbies."

"Well lets worry about that later, we need to find the 'Essence of Eros' before Jack dose." Kimiko pointed out and the rest of the dragons nodded in agreement and all spread out. Clay wondered over to a few fallen rocks, being wary to make sure that the mini avalanche was over. Omi ran silently over to a cliff ledge and began to jump up the steep slope. Kimiko and Raimoundo looked under a few rocks here and there, slowly making their way to the centre of the strange crater. Now and again the Japanese girl would look over to Rai and see that his mind was elsewhere. It didn't take her long to realise that his mind was full of questions on that girl they saw on the roof.

"Rai, you shouldn't worry about her. I mean, we don't really know if it is a girl yet."

"She is. I know she is. You wouldn't understand, she wants me to help her and I don't know how. It's tearing me apart felling so useless."

"Not much difference there then. Your always useless!"

Raimoundo cringed and growled hearing the annoying voice of Jack Spicier taunting him.

"I SO don't need this right now!"

"HA! Like I care. All I care about is this!" The two dragons gasped when they saw the shen-gong-wu sparkle just in front of Jack, perched on top of a small rock mound. It was shaped like a perfume bottle with a sprayer on the end covered in crimson tassels. The bottle itself was a bright pink with a gold heart shape pattern and a fancy 'E' on it. It was hard to believe that they could have missed it in this dismal and barren place. They all began to rush for the wu and it was Raimoundo and Jack in the lead, hands almost and inch from the eccentric glass perfume bottle. Time then seemed to stop, for only a second. A black shadow covered their eyes and Jack and Rai collided into each other being flung over one another and falling to the ground. They both looked at their hands and nothing was there and then they looked up towards the mound. Shook rose within him and his eyes widened slowly, sweat dripped from his temples. On the column stood a hooded figure, the only skin showing was the hand in which it held the 'Essence of Eros'. All the dragons snapped into their fighting positions except for Rai who was frozen in shook.

"HAY! That my wu! Give it back!" Jack pounced quite pathetically at the figure, which simply moved aside. But instead of letting him fall to the ground, it whipped it hand out gracefully from under it's cloaked and slammed it's hand onto Jack face. He began to twitch violently and muffled screams erupted from him. This made the thing smile evilly and its crimson eyes peered maniacally from under the hood. Once Jack had stopped struggling and went limp, it carelessly through him aside like and old rag doll.

"Who… are you?" Omi questioned timidly as they all slowly backed away from the devilish glare.

"I'm your worst nightmare."
