Hahaha 0o no one likes this story anymore XD. Ahem. I lost two watches and people who reviewed before aren't reviewing XD oh whatever. I like to write this.
Yes, let Wuya die! But if we do, then the story will go askew. I'll say one thing, WUYA AIN'T GONNA DIE! It'll completely ruin the entire future plot.
Wow, over 500 hits. Most of them end at chapter 1 XD I think I'll change them to English…
Anyway, have fun reading!
(XS)
Jack yawned. He went to bed really early that day, maybe around six or seven. Anyway, he woke up just as early too. He looked at the digital clock on his wrist.
It was six antemeridian.
Jack sighed and slowly rose from his mat, "I need to get out of here…" he muttered and scratched his head. He escaped to his house for a while hoping to see Wuya and tell her what happened. When he got there, one of his parent's priceless suits of armors was missing, and he was left with a note. That's when he cried and ran back to the temple only to faint from the extreme exhaustion.
He looked to where the temple vault was, and smiled. He only wanted the monkey staff, just that. Just to have a tail again would be sweet.
He crept outside and was ready to take his first step towards freedom.
"Where are you going momma's boy?"
Jack fell onto the grass, face first. He turned over to find Xia standing over him, "Aha, Master Xia! I wasn't expecting you!"
Xia clicked her tongue, "That sash of yours says that you have to be loyal to your Master," she snarled, "And I say go back to bed, or scrub the floors!" she yelled in his face and turned away.
Jack whimpered, "What are you doing out here so early?"
"I can ask the same." Xia helped him up, "I'm here to look out for Wuya and her new friend, the general." she muttered.
Jack stared at her, "So that's why the armor was gone." he whispered to himself.
"Yes Jack, that is why one of your armors were gone." she replied surprising Jack, "I say this, don't allow Wuya to go back to her original form."
"Why-"
Xia grabbed his robe, "Unless you want to suffer an eternity of suffering and miserable pain, I suggest you don't!" she released him, "Go back to sleep."
(XS)
"Any signs Master?"
"Yes, she's planning to attack by sundown, an obvious time, too." Xia rubbed her temples, "We must prepare the others."
Raimundo stretched and looked at his clock.
Nine antemeridian.
"Why did they let me sleep in?"
Omi yawned, "Raimundo, have you just awaken too?" he saw his companion nod in response, "This is not good then." he looked at Raimundo's teddy bear, "You still sleep with that thing?"
Raimundo looked at his bear and blushed, "So? It's normal!"
Kimiko ran in, "Guys, get up, Dojo just sensed something bad."
Dojo wiggled in, "I-It's n-not a S-Sheng G-Gong W-Wu…." he said, "I-It's s-something w-worse…"
"The general's here!"
"T-That!"
"But you never reacted like that before!"
"That's because the general was occupying a human body! Now he fully controls this one!"
Xia, with Jack under her arm, ran by, "KidshurryupandgetintotheShengGongWuvault!" she jumped dodging a great earth attack.
Their eyes all went wide.
(XS)
"Wuya," hissed Xia dropping Jack, "we meet again." she smirked and held up fists.
Wuya laughed, "Oh my dearest Xia, how long has it been? That curse on you, how is it?"
"Never better, though, judging by your voice, I doubt the years have never been kinder to you." she spat.
Wuya growled and had Clay attack Xia.
Xia jumped, jumped on Clay and spun to land face front of Clay, "Give it up Wuya, earth isn't your element."
Wuya smirked, "No, but it is for the general." Wuya flew out of Clay.
"Master Xia, please help!" cried Clay before being forced to hold the sword of yŏng shí. He cried in pain as the sword's tassel wrapped around his arm.
Clay's body was straightened and the familiar voice came, "Ah, much better."
Xia growled, "Welcome back General Lee, too bad you have to go so soon." she snapped and reached into her pocket, "Orb of tornami, ice!"
(XS)
Raimundo, Kimiko and Omi coughed as dust seeped into the back of their throats, "Oh man, what happened here?" they came late because of the amount of debris that was in their way.
"Master Xia?" Omi cried, "Master Xia!"
"Water!" an explosion of water erupted soaking everything around them in water. They looked up to find Xia huffing on the ground and leaning against a giant boulder, "Kids, hurry, run."
Kimiko turned only for her vision to be stuffed up by Wuya. She cried in agony as Wuya entered her mind.
"Shit," Xia cursed and spat.
Omi ran up to Xia while Raimundo tried shaking Kimiko's head free of Wuya, "Master Xia, where is Clay?"
Xia pointed a tired hand towards the vault, "In…the vault."
Jack appeared from behind the boulder, "You go get him, I'll just stay here and take care of Master Xia here." he whimpered and hid himself again.
Clay emerged with only the serpent's tail with him, "Ha, ha, Xia, Xia, too scared to face me?"
Xia growled back, "I'm not afraid."
Omi concentrated his energy, "Tornado strike!" he spun quickly into small spiral attracting water everywhere. He stopped, swooped his arms and threw them at Clay.
The general forced Clay to strike the sword into the ground, "Earth!" a giant barrier high and thick laid between the water attack and Clay.
"No!" Xia cried and stood with much difficulty, "Don't force Clay to use such power! Their bodies can't handle that yet!" she winced and grabbed her stomach.
Omi looked up, "No…" he looked forward to be smothered by a bush of vines, "Help!"
Raimundo was thrown back by Kimiko, "Kimiko!" he cried.
Wuya sighed, "Much better," she forced Kimiko to lift her arms, "Fire!"
Everything became a blur.
(XS)
Raimundo rubbed his eyes and looked. Clay and Kimiko were running and Omi was being carried away, "No, come back!" he ran after them, "Typhoon boom!" he clapped his hands.
"Earth!" it was a lost cause.
Raimundo covered himself. As soon as he could see through the dust he ran, "Omi, wake up!" they were on Dojo, "Dojo! DOJO!" Dojo was being controlled this time. He stopped running as soon as they were too high.
"Raimundo!" Raimundo turned to catch the sword of the storm and eye of Dashi, "Sword of the storm, eye of Dashi!" he merged them together and flew.
The sky turned dark and grey. He stopped directed the sword towards them. A small tornado flew in front of them.
"Serpent's tail!" Dojo became ghostly along with everyone else.
Raimundo smirked, "They forgot about the lightning!"
Dojo became solid again.
"What the-" he saw.
Clay was holding the serpent's tail, Wuya flew out of Dojo having the Dojo and the rest fall.
Raimundo gasped.
"Reversing mirror!"
Wuya became human again.
(XS)
Xia cursed over and over again.
Jack prepared tea.
Master Fung meditated on his small mat.
Raimundo sat at the temple steps, alone. He could only stare at the high stone castle.
"No, this is bad, really bad. She has Kimiko, Clay and Omi under her control!" she bit her nails, "Damn, shit-" she stopped and looked at Master Fung, "You think they'll be okay?"
Master Fung sighed, "I do not know."
Xia blinked and continued her string of curses.
Raimundo averted his eyes away from the building and stared at his pendent. If memory served him well, Wuya was always staring at his pendent. He stood up and took off the pendent around his neck.
"Feeling despondent?" he didn't move. Xia sighed and pulled the hair away from her eyes.
Jack came out with the tray with the teapot and tea cups, "Here's the tea." he poured tea into one cup and handed it to Xia.
Xia handled the cup and swigged it down, "Thanks." she coughed and placed the cup on the tray.
Jack looked at the cup, and shrugged walking away.
Raimundo dropped the pendent and stared at it as it fell, "I can't do this alone," it fell with a thud, "I can't…" he started to cry, "I'm all alone on this. Everyone else, they're hurt. I didn't make it to them in time," he choked, "What am I going to do now?" he sobbed.
Xia sighed and grabbed her head, "You go and fight. I'll come with you, but when you are fighting your friends, I'm not helping you."
Raimundo growled and walked up to her, "Do I'm supposed to hurt my friends while they're unconscious?" he shouted, "I have to injure them?"
"Yes, it's that simple."
"But-but, I can't! What will I do after that, huh? What do I-"
She slapped him, "Shut up."
Raimundo fell from the force of the hit. He landed on his shoulder, "What…" he looked up at her.
The sky started to pour.
Xia made a water barrier around only her, "This is your decision. I am not the one to answer all those questions. Shut up, stand up and walk. Jun did, and she has no legs."
Raimundo glared at her. He rubbed his cheek and hugged his knees facing the pendent over there, "Jun is stronger than me."
"But you can do better. She already moved on in life, you're still here. Make the choice to do better, Raimundo. You are destined to be the dragon of the wind." Xia whipped her arm across and in front of her to destroy the barrier, "Pick up your pendent, and go." she turned, and calmly walked back into the temple.
Raimundo looked up at the rain and closed his eyes. The beautiful image of a small bluebird came to mind. He snapped open his eyes.
(XS)
Wuya sighed happily and swirled her finger in the air. Smoke followed her finger, "Omi my dear, you have no choice in the matter. We can do this a hard way, or the easy way."
Omi, chained to the wall, snorted, "Do not push my arms."
Wuya raised an eyebrow, not bothering to correct him, "Okay." she jumped and landed in front of Omi. She went close to him, "I just thought you would like to know, I know your mother."
Omi's eyes widened, "My mother?"
Wuya pulled back and smirked, "An insolent woman. Always hyper, conceited, loyal…kind of like you." she smiled and started to walked back and forth in front of Omi, "This is probably not good to say, but I will say." she winced at her own sentence, "I was the one you separated you from your mother." she hissed.
Omi gasped, and growled furiously, "Tell me where my mother is!" he growled, "You witch, tell me!"
Wuya clicked her tongue, "So like your mother, she was outspoken as so also." she pressed her forehead against his, "And just like I did to her, I'll do to you."
(XS)
Kimiko whimpered. Not a single light. Then again, she is in her own mind. All she saw was the back of her eyelids.
(XS)
Clay sighed, injured and hurt. He found that his body was pacing back and forth, back and forth…
(XS)
Omi hid behind the rock and whimpered softly. It was the first time in his whole life, he was really, really, really afraid.
"My, my, so timid are we? You remind me of Xia," Wuya called to the silent air, "I remember the first time we met. We clicked like two pieces of a puzzle, but she was always the quiet one. That is, until her half-brother, Dashi, appeared." she sighed, "My, my, Omi my dear," she swung around the rock and looked straight into Omi's face, "Afraid are we?"
(XS)
Raimundo clutched the golden tiger claws to his chest. He carried a pack on his back with a few more Sheng Gong Wu inside, "This is the only way," he raised his arm, "Golden tiger claws!" he slashed the air creating a rip. He jumped.
As soon as he disappeared, Jack came by with Xia in front of him, "See, see, he's gone!"
Xia coughed, "Oh dear, Jack, get Master Fung. Tell him to meet me in the meditation hall." she pretended to be serious and smirked.
Jack ran off waving his arms crazily.
Xia glanced back and raised her arms, slowly.
The sky thundered and lit up.
(XS)
Raimundo jumped out of the rip, tripped on a nearby rock, and rolled over until he hit a wall, "Okay, that was unexpected." he groaned and held his head.
The sky thundered.
"Aw crap," he groaned. He looked around the wall searching for anyway to get inside, and then snapped his fingers. If Wuya kept the castle the same way it was before…
He kicked the wall and it collapsed with shards of mirrors all over the floor.
"Yes!" he ran in jumping over the shards of the mirrors.
(XS)
He couldn't feel his own body. He never felt this sore since…ever.
Wuya snorted as she held the boy by the collar of his robe, "You children never give up." she dropped him. She took a small bottle from the pack around her waist, "One drop, and you can forget everything." she uncorked the bottle and was about to poor a drop into his mouth…
A loud crash.
(XS)
Xia pulled the hood over her head. Instead of the Xiaolin robes, she wore jeans and a hooded sweater, "Hey Fung, better prepare Raimundo's mat, he's gonna need the extra sleep." she smirked.
Master Fung nodded.
Jack yawned, "When you come back, wake me up."
(XS)
Raimundo threw the cloth over his body and became invisible. Hopefully, her "sixth sense" is rusty. His ears pounded so loudly, it was possible Wuya could hear it.
Wuya gasped, "My mirrors!" she picked up a piece, "Raimundo…" she hissed and gripped the piece in her hand. She ignored the blood running down her hand and clapped her hands, "Warriors," the giant stone monsters appeared, "Find the pesky runt, Raimundo, and bring him to me, alive." she commanded and walked off.
The large monsters grunted on every step searching the entire room. They moved on.
Raimundo sighed with relief.
He gasped loudly when a hooded figure pulled the shroud of shadows off of him, "Who are-"
(XS)
He sat on the rock, bored. Then he sensed the flames behind him.
"General, a job for you. We have some intruders, can you be as so kind as to invite them formally?"
He grinned.
(XS)
Wuya went back to where Omi was last, "Oh dear," she muttered, "He ran off." she clicked her tongue, "I guess it's time for me to be a little more serious." she grinned devilishly.
Omi huffed as he ran. Please don't let them find me, he thought.
(XS)
Xia hushed him, "Raimundo stop screaming!" she pulled the hood back, "It's me!"
Raimundo exhaled and grasped his chest, "Don't DO that!"
Xia snorted, "Sorry…" she muttered bitterly.
Raimundo snatched the Sheng Gong Wu from her and rose to his feet, "I thought you weren't gonna help me."
"Well, one, I said I won't fight your friends," she flicked his forehead.
"Ow, you…"
"Watch your mouth! Anyway, two, I have a score to settle with Wuya."
A dramatic pause.
"Well…that was uneventful."
(XS)
Kimiko's body was huddled in a small corner. Not moving, not blinking, not really doing anything but breathing.
Kimiko kept trying to light fire, but it didn't work.
Kimiko's body rose in command, "Yes Wuya."
Kimiko slammed her fists on the dark ground; "Damn it all to hell!" she huffed.
The body held stiff, "Anything else?"
Wuya chuckled, "No, no, dear. Just run along. Help the general welcome the guests."
Kimiko, finally, realized that her eyes were open, "Wuya!" she ran to the wall and pressed her palms against the image, "Where are we going!"
"No, no, dear. Just run along. Help the general welcome the guests."
"Raimundo!"
(XS)
Xia sucked on the ice and spat it out on her hand, "So, do you know which way to go?"
Raimundo looked around. His eyes traveled the stair cases and memory served him well, "The left one, I'm sure." he ran ahead of her.
"Raimundo, WAIT!" Xia threw the ice down on the floor but slipped on it for it slid in front of her. She grunted and fell harshly, "Wait…" she moaned pitifully.
Raimundo ignored her calls and raced up the stairs. He huffed on every step and focused everything on the task in hand. He saw the light at the end of the stairs, and saw Clay with the sword in his hands.
"Welcome, I hope you'll enjoy your stay." the shadows hid his figure leaving two glowing eyes, "We love to have visitors."
Raimundo swallowed, and smiled.
(XS)
The End…for now. Haha, it's stuff. I'm a sucker for that…in some aspects. Sorry for the wait, school and play practice is catching up, also I have a ton of tests coming up. I'll still be updating! And my play practice has been split into two groups.
Haha, Jack is becoming girly XD making tea...if it's confusing, I can understand 00 I'm kinda not sure blah. Grr, gotta work on hw.
