Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child

03: A Xiaolin's Welcome

"Who…are you?" stuttered Kimiko jumping into her fighting stance, the figure shot up into the air, over Kimiko and landed with his back to her. She spun around and faced him, still keeping her guard up. The person had brown hair, like Raimundo's but lighter and was about the same size, he was wearing a dark green T-Shirt, dark red trousers and black trainers. On his back was a long samurai sword, light blue in colour and fashioned to look like a thunder bolt. He turned around and looked at her.

"I have finally met one of the legendary Xiaolin Dragons" he said.

"Ah, Kimiko" said Master Fung as he and the others walked towards them, "I see you have met our new pupil"

"Well howdy partner" said Clay as he held out his hand,

"Ah" said the boy shaking Clay's hand "You must be the Dragon of Earth"

Suddenly Omi leaped out of nowhere, bouncing up and down with excitement.

"Greetings new pupil, I, Omi, the world's greatest Xiaolin Dragon, welcome you to the Xiaolin temple!"

"Omi?" said the boy as he went into a deep thought "Omi, Omi, Omi…Oh yeah! The Dragon of Water!"

"Ah ha!" cried Omi as he ran around him "He knows me! He knows me! I am earth famous!"

"No Omi!" said Raimundo as he walked over, still rubbing the back of his head "It is world famous!"

"Hmm…" said the boy looking up at him "Your skills of the wind is very impressive, Dragon of Wind"

"Hey!" said Raimundo as he noticed the boy standing there "Were you the one who shot me with that thunder bolt?"

"Well…Yes" said the boy "I couldn't just stand there and let you whoop Kimiko's ass, there's a word called mercy, have you heard of it?"

Master Fung stepped in before Raimundo broke out in a rage,

"That's enough" he said as he stood between them "Now Raimundo, Omi, Clay and Kimiko; this is the new pupil who will be joining the quest for the Shen Gong Wu, Ryan"

"Nice to meet you all" said Ryan, trying to avoid eye contact Raimundo.

"Omi, Clay and Raimundo, you are to continue training" said Master Fung "Kimiko and Dojo are to help Ryan move his stuff in"

"Yes Master Fung" said Kimiko "Dojo? Could you come here?"

"What now?" moaned Dojo "Can't you see I was trying to sleep?"

"At six in the afternoon?" said Kimiko

"Oh, you win…" grumbled Dojo as he looked up at them, he then suddenly realised that Ryan was standing there, "Hey! It's the new kid!"

"I've been standing here for at least a minuet and he just noticed me" sighed Ryan "He is a bit slow when he wakes up…" whispered Kimiko

"Huh!" said Dojo looking up at Ryan and Kimiko, who were sniggering to themselves, "What you say?"

"Nothing!" said Ryan and Kimiko together.

On the way to the dormitory, Kimiko noticed the sword that hung from Ryan's back.

"Ryan?" asked Kimiko "What is that sword on your back?"

Ryan stopped and pulled it off his back, the sword glowed a brilliant light blue and it gave of sparks, as if it was charged with electricity.

"Hmm…I don't really know what it is exactly…" said Ryan as he started walking again.

"It a Shen Gong Wu called the Sword of the Tempest" said Dojo

"Well I know what it's called…" said Ryan "Whoa! Hold on!"

Ryan and Kimiko stopped and looked down at Dojo,

"It's a Wu?" said Ryan, who had a surprised look on his face, "I thought it was just a magic sword…"

"It related to the Sword of the Storm" said Dojo as he pulled out the Wu scroll from thin air, "It allows it's user to shoot bolts of lightning"

"If it's a Wu, How come you didn't detect it then?" said Kimiko

"Ryan must have had it before it came active" said Dojo "Remember the Star Hanabi? Clay's father had found it before it was active"

"Okay, here's the dormitory" said Dojo as they walked into the dormitory, "In order, here is Omi's, Clay's, Rai's, Kimiko's and finally your room"

Ryan looked at the row of rooms, each one the same size, but customised to suite each person who lived in them. Omi's room had pictures of famous warriors, advanced combat moves and pictures of himself all over the walls. Clay's room had a vast collection of ten gallon hats, lassoes and other cowboy related items. Rai's room had a surfboard, a football and a very large collection of pictures of Rio. Kimiko's room had a very large collection of Hi-Tec gadgets, and a large wardrobe overflowing with different clothes.

"Here's your room, Ryan" said Kimiko opening the curtain, it was the same as the others, but more empty, except for a bed mat, a cupboard, a desk and a pile of welcome gifts that the others had left for him.

"Well?" said Kimiko as Ryan walked into his room. He turned around and looked at her.

"Well what?" said Ryan

"What do you think?"

"It nice" said Ryan as he looked around "Simple, but comfortable"

"Sorry about this, Ryan" said Kimiko as she checked her watch "But I've got to get back to training! Unpack, open you welcome gifts and join us in the training grounds"

"Okay Kimiko!" said Ryan "See you later!"

"Bye kiddo!" said Dojo as he slivered off, probably to go back to sleep.

Ryan threw his bag to the corner of the room and began to open his welcome gifts. The first gift he opened was from Rai and Clay,

"To the new kid, welcome to the temple, Rai and Clay" It was a book on Xiaolin History.

The second gift was from Kimiko, "To the new pupil, Welcome to a life of travelling, treasurer hunting and kicking evil's butt! Kimiko" It was book on Xiaolin Combat Techniques.

The third gift was from Omi, Dojo and Master Fung "To the new pupil, we hope these robes fits, Dojo said that one size fits all, Omi, Dojo and Master Fung"

"Hey, new clothes!" said Ryan as he unwrapped his last gift and pulled out bran new temple robes, "Very nice"

After unpacking his stuff and changing into his new robes, Ryan headed towards the training grounds. Upon entering the grounds, he was greeted with a variety of complements from the monks.

"Whoa there!" said Clay "You look like a real Xiaolin monk!"

"Thanks Clay" said Ryan

"Yes!" said Omi "Your robes were a perfect fit!"

"Wow, looking good!" said Kimiko as she walked around Ryan, examining his new clothes "Hope you liked your gifts"

"Yeah, I did" said Ryan "Thanks for them!"

Ryan turned and saw Raimundo looking at him, who by the look on his face was still in a bad mood about being struck by lightning. He walked up to Ryan, but before he had a chance to say anything, Master Fung approached them.

"Ah, Ryan, I see you got your robes"

"Thank you, Master Fung" said Ryan

"Now Ryan, Let us begin your initiation test" said Master Fung "To be Xiaolin monk, you need to prove that your martial art skills are of an adequate level"

"Okay, No worries" said Ryan walking on to the training grounds. "A one on one fight should do the job"

"Very well Ryan" said Master Fung as he turned to the others "Now then, I want one of you to go up against him"

"Me! Me! Master Fung!" said Omi excitedly as he jumped up and down "I will be a most worthy opponent"

"I don't mind if I do it" said Clay

"Me nether" said Kimiko

"Can I do it, Master Fung?" said Raimundo "I want to get my own back on him for hitting me with that thunder bolt…"

"What was that, Raimundo?" said Master Fung

"Nothing…" mumbled Raimundo "Can I do it anyway?"

"Hmm…" thought Master Fung

"Err…Master Fung?" called Ryan from the other side of the grounds, "If it is any help, I'd like to go against Raimundo!"

"Very well then" said Master Fung "For this fight Raimundo, I want you to use your martial art skills only, no elemental powers"

"Not if I can help it…" muttered Raimundo as he headed onto the grounds and stood opposite Ryan.

Now that chapter three is done, I have some things to say! Next week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) I will be extremely busy, so I will be unable to update during that time.But hopefully, I will be able to put up some more chapters before then and on the Monday after my busy week (I'm usually busy on weekends too!). Secondly, this chapter introduces Ryan, who you've all probably guessed is the Thunder Child from the legend. On my profile I will be keeping a small profile on Ryan, based on what you find out in the story. That's all! Good Bye!

Oh! One last thing...Who would like to know how to download Xiaolin Showdown music?
