Hello! I'd just like to say that I posted Chapter 5later than usual last night(about 8:00pm (UK time)) andI saw that it didn't get updated on the web until about midday today (UK time). Because of that,I don't think any of you had the chance to R&R yet, but don't worry about it! Just keep R&R and I'll catch up with them later!
Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown or anything related to it
Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
06: The Wing's of Huricun
"Poor kid…" sighed Kimiko as she entered her room "Must be awful not knowing your past…"
She fell back onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling. She didn't feel like sleeping at the moment; she didn't like going to sleep in a negative mood, so she flipped open her laptop. She loaded up the copy of the fortune that she got a week ago and looked at it over and over again,
Very soon, you will meet a boy,
He will bring you lot's of joy,
His personality will be a bit wild,
His will be known as the Thunder Child.
"Well…" thought Kimiko "He is a boy…He has lighting powers…Kind of cute…And he's a bit wild like Raimundo…But is he a part of the legend?"
Kimiko thought for a moment, when she suddenly realised something,
"Whoa! Rewind! Did I just call him…cute?"
She sat there in silence, trying to work out why she thought that. But she eventually shook it off.
"I must be tired…" she yawned as she closed her laptop, "I must be…imagining things…"
She didn't even have the energy to finish the sentence; she changed into her pyjamas and got into bed. She heard someone go into the room next to hers.
"Night Kimiko…" whispered a voice,
A small smile moved across Kimiko's face as she slowly fell asleep.
"Goodnight…Ryan…zzzzzz…"
Next Day…
The sun shone down on the temple and Clay and Omi decided to get up early to do some early morning training. Raimundo, Kimiko and Ryan however were still in bed, unaware that Dojo was on his way to wake them up.
"Morning guys!" called Dojo "Time to get up!"
"Morning" yawned Kimiko as she got out of bed,
"Dojo…" groaned Raimundo as he managed to crawl out under the covers, "We have saved the world multiple times…can we at least lie in?"
"Sorry" said Dojo as he went to try and pull Raimundo out of bed "Evil waits for no one"
"Where's Ryan?" asked Kimiko, as she went to help Dojo pull Raimundo out of bed.
"Still sleeping" said Dojo "Go wake him up for me, I busy trying to wake Rai up"
Kimiko walked out of Raimundo's room and headed to Ryan's room. Since her last visit to his room, Ryan had done some decorating, his clothes were all in his cupboard, however they were rather untidy, his bag was stuffed under his desk, which had the book on Xiaolin Combat Techniques that she gave him and the Xiaolin History book open on a page on showdowns, and hung up on the wall was his prized possession: the Sword of the Tempest. Finally a lump on the floor which Kimiko guessed was Ryan.
"Ryan…" whispered Kimiko in his ear,
"Hmm…" groaned Ryan without waking up.
"Ryan"
Ryan's eyes began to open, "Who…What…Oh, Kimiko…" he mumbled as he stretched his arms, "What's up?"
"Its morning, come on, its time to get up" said Kimiko as she left the room.
Eventually, Ryan and Raimundo managed to get out of bed and make it to the kitchen without falling asleep again.
"Good morning, partners!" said Clay helping himself to a big plate of bacon.
"Morning, Clay" said Ryan as he helped himself to a glass of orange juice.
Ryan suddenly jumped when a very happy and enthusiastic voice came behind him,
"Hello, my new friend!" said Omi "How was your first night at the temple?"
Ryan paused for a moment, trying to recover from the shock of being surprised; he then turned and looked at Omi.
"I don't know…" said Ryan with a small grin on his face "I was asleep at the time, so I didn't remember…"
Kimiko and Clay chuckling to themselves while Omi looked at him with a puzzled look on his face,
"Don't worry Omi" said Ryan patting him on his head "It was a joke"
"Drop everything!" yelled Dojo as he charged into the room, "Shen gong wu alert!"
"But I was just starting my breakfast…" groaned Clay
Kimiko looked round at Dojo, "What have we got today, then?"
"The Wing's of Huricun!" said Dojo as he opened the Shen gong scroll, "It allows it's user to fly with great precision, it also can create mini tornados!"
"Finally, Ryan has a chance to see us collect the Wu and defeat evil!" said Omi as he leapt up on the table,
"Err…Omi, you just stepped in my breakfast" said Raimundo.
While Omi was trying to get Rai's fried eggs off his foot, Kimiko asked Ryan whether he would like to come.
"Really? I can come?" said Ryan as Master Fung entered the room,
"You should go" said Master Fung "A pinch of experience is better than a spoon full of knowledge"
"Say what?" said Ryan giving him a clueless look.
"Don't take him too seriously Ryan" said Clay "We don't understand what he talks about was well"
The skies above Los Angeles…
Within a few hours they had arrived at Hollywood, Dojo was weaving in and out of the clouds with Omi, Clay, Raimundo, Ryan and Kimiko on his back.
"Everybody comes to Hollywood!" sang Dojo "They want to make it in the neighbourhood! They like the smell of it in Hollywood…"
"It isn't Hollywood that smells…" sniggered Raimundo, holding his nose
"Hey!" said Dojo as he sniffed himself "I do not…Oh…It is me…"
"Where are we exactly?" said Omi as he looked down.
"Hollywood, L.A.!" said Kimiko "The home of the stars, shopping, fame and fortune!"
"What about Shen gong wu?" said Ryan.
"Hmm…" said Dojo "It should be around the Hollywood sign…"
"Put us down near it then" said Clay "We will do the rest!"
Dojo landed and everyone jumped off.
"Ok guys" said Dojo as he pointed to his neck "According to these strange swelling boils…"
"Eww!" said Kimiko in disgust "Too much information!"
"The Wu is…That way! Or is it that way?"
"Looks like we are going to have to split up" sighed Clay
"Ok! Clay and Raimundo! You go right! Ryan and Kimiko! You go left!" said Omi
"What about you?" said Ryan "You okay on your own?"
"You have no need to worry, young apprentice!" said Omi as he jumped about showing off his moves, "I'm highly skilled at Shen gong wu hunting!"
"Err…Kid? Who you talking to?" said Dojo "The others have already left!"
"So what are we looking for?" said Ryan, as he lifted up a rock and checked under it.
"On the scroll, it looked like a staff" said Kimiko "It's about a meter long, with two blades on each end"
"Okay, let's go!" said Ryan as they headed towards a patch of trees.
"Err…Ryan?" said Kimiko "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure" said Ryan as he jumped into a tree to check the branches.
"Err…Does "The Thunder Child" mean anything to you?" she said.
"Err…" thought Ryan "No, It doesn't…Why do you ask?"
"No reason…" sighed Kimiko. They began to search the area, checking in trees, under rocks and in the bushes. But half an hour later, they were getting nowhere.
"Any luck?" called Ryan.
"No…" sighed Kimiko "Nothing…"
Ryan looked up at her; she had a troubled look on her face.
"You okay, Kimiko?" said Ryan "You've been rather quiet…"
"Nah, it's nothing…" sighed Kimiko as she looked up at Ryan.
"If you say so…" said Ryan as he walked towards a mound of rocks "You check those trees over there and I'll check over here, and then we will head back to the others"
Kimiko walked of to the small grope of trees, while Ryan bent over the pile of rubble and began to pull things out.
"Rock, No…Tree branch, No…Staff, No…Another rock..."
"Where is it?" groaned Ryan as he threw the objects behind him. He was about to remove a rather large rock when there was a sudden cry from the trees. Ryan turned and saw Kimiko come running out towards Ryan.
"Hey, Kimiko!" called Ryan "Did you find them?"
"Ryan!" gasped Kimiko "Behind you…Spicer!"
"Spicer?" said Ryan; an evil laugh came from behind them, followed by the noise of helicopter blades.
"Ha!" laughed the voice "The Wing's of Huricun are mine"
Ryan turned around, and saw a boy in black clothes flying towards the staff that Ryan had thrown behind him.
"Damn it!" Ryan groaned as he realised he just threw the wings behind him, "The Wings!"
Ryan turned and charged towards the wings, and with a swift dive, he tackled the boy out of the air. Ryan landed skilfully back on the floor, but the boy hit the floor with a thud.
"Hey! I know you!" said Ryan as the boy got to his feet "You're that person who is trying to conquer the world? Jake…Jim…Ah! Jack Spicer!"
"What's it to you?" spat Jack as he turned towards Ryan, "Do you want an autograph?"
"Err…No…" said Ryan
"Well whatever" said Jack "I'm taking the Wing's of Huricun"
"No way!" said Ryan "I taking them for myself!"
Ryan broke out into a sprint towards the Wings,
"Not if I can help it!" cried Jack as he began to run after him.
"Almost…there…" gasped Ryan as he reached out to grab the Wings, "Gotcha! I got the…Oh!"
He looked down to see that Jack had managed to grab the other end of the staff. Suddenly the staff began to glow with a golden light.
"Hey guys, any luck with the Wu?" said Dojo as he, Omi, Clay and Raimundo as they walked into the area, "We had no…Hey! It's Spicer! And it's the Wing's of Huricun!"
Kimiko managed to catch up with the others, and to push her way through the others.
"Ryan!" shouted Kimiko "You need to challenge him to a…"
"A Xiaolin Showdown!" interrupted Ryan "I wager the Sword of the Tempest!"
"Oh great! Your one of those Xiaolin losers…Okay, I wager the Tongue of Sai Ping!" said Jack
"The challenge is a race to the Hollywood sign" said Ryan "First through the "O" wins!"
"Ok, let's do this!" said Jack.
"Let's go! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"
Jack Spicer has finally appeared! But who will win the Wings of Huricun? Place your bets now!Before I go, I have bad news...I'm going to be busy all the way up to the weekends, soI will be unable to post the next chapters, but don't worry because I may be able to update this weekend, if not, I guarantee Monday!
