Hello everyone! I'm back! I'd like to thank everyone who had R&R! I'd like to also thank Hanbags for using the idea that I told her (Well...I say me, I really mean Ryan!) Anyway, I have something to tell you, I have finished writing up the The Legend of the Thunder Child and I have begun on the sequel, The Legend of the Thunder Child II: The Blood of the Dragon! I would tell you what happens in it...but I may spoil what will happen in this story! Anyway, back to the story...Err...Where were we? Ah yes! Ryan had challenged Jack Spicer to a Xiaolin Showdown! So what are you waiting for...Oh, your waiting for me to stop talking...

Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
07: Xiaolin Shock-down
When a blinding flash filled the air, the entire landscape changed around them. The land flattened to form a huge runway, and at the end was the Hollywood sign.
On a pillar next to the runway, the Xiaolin monks looked down at Ryan and Jack who were standing at the starting line.
"Hey!" said Raimundo "Did Master Fung gave Ryan Xiaolin Armour?"
Omi looked at the others, they were all wearing their blue Xiaolin Armour, and Ryan was still in his green t-shirt and red trousers.
"Hey, don't you have some weird clothes that your supposed to wear during the showdown?" said Jack
"Don't worry about it…" said Ryan with a smirk on his face "I came prepared…"
He clicked his fingers and suddenly, black strips of cloth came out of nowhere and wrapped themselves around Ryan's legs, up his body, around his arms and finally round his head, binding him like a mummy. His shoes became black boots, black gloves appeared on his hands and red bandana appeared around his head.
"Whoa…" gasped Raimundo as his mouth dropped to the floor.
"Wow!" gasped Clay "Check out his showdown duds!"
"What! I am a Wudai Warrior and he is an apprentice!" shouted Omi "How come he gets better armour!"
"GONG YI TAMPI!"
"So long, loser!" shouted Jack, as he activated his heli-bot and flew off towards the finish.
"Hey! That's my line! Wind!" shouted Ryan as a gust of wind lifted him of the ground, pushing him forward through the air.
"Go, Ryan!" cheered Kimiko
"You can do it!" called Clay
Jack looked behind him; Ryan was closing in on him.
"Let's see how good you really are!" he called back "Tongue of Sai Ping! Birds! Attack!"
Suddenly the sky filled with birds, all squawking angrily at Ryan.
"Ha!" laughed Ryan flying straight at the flock of birds, "Your birds can't stop me!"
"Ryan! Be careful!" called Kimiko
"Wind!" and with those words a blast of wind blew out of Ryan's hands blowing the birds away.
"Now it's my turn!" said Ryan, pulling the Sword of the Tempest out of its holder on his back, "Sword of the Tempest!"
A thunder bolt, exactly the same as the one that hit Raimundo yesterday, shot out of the sword and hit Jack's heli-bot, short circuiting it and making it malfunction.
"NO! My heli-bot!" cried Jack as he fell out of the sky "Argggggggggh!"
There was a loud SMACK as Jack hit the floor.
"Ooooh…" said Raimundo
"That had got to hurt!" said Kimiko
"So long, sucker!" shouted Ryan as he flew through the "O" and with a blinding flash the landscape returned to normal.
When the light returned to normal, the Xiaolin monk looked up at Ryan, he had the Sword of the Tempest on his back, the Tongue of Sai Ping in one hand and the Wings of Huricun in the other.
"You did it, Ryan!" said Kimiko, running up to him and thrusting her arms around him, "You were amazing!"
"Nice one, partner!" said Clay as he and Ryan hi-fived, "You showed Spicer who's boss!"
"You did very well…considering…" said Omi.
Ryan, Clay and Kimiko gave Omi a disgruntled look,
"What do you mean "Considering"?" said Ryan
"Considering you aren't a Wudai Warrior…"
Ryan and Kimiko groaned as they rolled their eyes.
"Don't worry about him now, Ryan" whispered Kimiko, "You can batter him when we get to the temple…"
Ryan and Kimiko sniggered to themselves; Ryan then turned around and saw that Raimundo was looking at him with a slightly envious look on his face.
"You did quite well for your first showdown…" said Raimundo, his voice had the same hint of sarcasm from last night's argument, "Where did you get the showdown armour?"
Ryan thought for a moment, just like the Sword of the Tempest, Ryan didn't really know how he got his armour, because of his amnesia.
"Err…" thought Ryan, trying to think of an excuse, "I…customised it myself…"
"Come guys!" called Dojo as he super sized, "Let's get back to the temple, I want make sure I'm not late for my nap!"
"Err, Dojo? You do know we only woke up 2 hours ago?" said Kimiko looking at her watch.
"Whatever…" said Raimundo, jumping onto Dojo "Let's just get back to the temple"
Back at the Temple…
"Ah, how was you Shen gong wu hunt?" asked Master Fung as the Xiaolin Monks arrived back at the temple.
"Ryan sacked his first Shen gong wu!" said Omi
There was a brief silence as everyone looked at Omi.
"I'm guessing he means bagged…" said Raimundo.
"Congratulations, young one" said Master Fung.
"Thanks, Master Fung" said Ryan as he handed over the Tongue of Sai Ping and the Wings of Huricun.
"Thank you Ryan" said Master Fung as he walked off with the wu, "You may wait for me at the training grounds"
They all walked off towards the training grounds. But just as Ryan was about to go round the corner, Master Fung called him back.
"What is it, Master Fung?" said Ryan walking back to him,
"Don't you have anything else to give me?" said Master Fung looking at his sword.
Ryan reached over his back and pulled out the Sword of the Tempest,
"Do I have to?" sighed Ryan, handing over the sword to Master Fung, "I've had it for as long as I can remember…"
"I know, and I'm sorry, but it's the rules" said Master Fung "Now go join you friends on the training ground"
Meanwhile, in a basement / evil lair…
"Stupid Xiaolin losers!" cursed Jack as he worked on his latest "evil" invention, "First Chase gets Wuya, Cyclops, Vlad, Katnappè and Tubbimura, then the Dragons get that new person…Grrrr…Ryan thinks he is so cool, short circuiting my heli-bot…"
"It could be worse…" said a voice from the shadows, "You could have been destroyed when I had the chance…"
"Wuya…" sighed Jack "Will you stop annoying me! All you do is…WUYA!"
Jack turned around and saw the figure of Wuya step out of the shadows,
"H…Hey Wuya!" stuttered Jack "W…w…why are you here?"
"Silence, worm!" said a voice from behind Wuya,
"Chase Young!" gasped Jack as his eyes went as big as saucers, "I'm honoured that you have come to my lair, can I get you anything? Drink? Pudding cup?"
"Quiet!" said Chase "I'm not here for anything concerning you, I'm here for info on Ryan"
"Ryan? That new kid on the Xiaolin Loser team?" said Jack "What about him?"
"I wasn't in that showdown for the Wing's of Huricun, so I don't know the full extent of his abilities"
"Well Chase" said Jack "I can tell you what I know, but it is going to cost you…"
"What is it that you want?" said Chase
"A load of Shen Gong Wu"
"How about I let you live?" said Chase as he picked Jack up by the throat,
"Okay!" chocked Jack "He seems to be able to control electricity, he can fly like Raimundo, and…Err…he had a new Shen gong wu that didn't become active!"
Chase dropped Jack, picked up the Reversing Mirror that was lying on the table, and walked out of the lair,
"Bye, Chase!" coughed Jack as he looked up from the floor "You're free to visit! Don't be a stranger!"
"Ryan seems to have made good progress" thought Chase as he opened a portal to his lair "It won't be long before it's time…Then I will finally have my revenge on the Xiaolin Warriors…"
Back at the temple…
"Well done, young monks" said Master Fung, "You have defiantly improved since our last training session"
Clay, Raimundo, Kimiko, Omi and Ryan all sat down in front of Master Fung,
"Ryan, keep up the good work and you will make Wudai Warrior in no time"
"Thanks, Master Fung" said Ryan as he looked at Omi, who looked like he was about to break out in a speech on how he could help him become a Wudai Warrior faster.
"Now what?" said Ryan turning to Kimiko as she got up.
"I got bad news…" she sighed "It is time to do our chores now…"
Everyone groaned as Master Fung left the grounds and came back with the Shen gong wu chest,
"Do not worried, 5 pairs of hands are better than 4, you should be done before dinner" said Master Fung as he opened the chest. "Omi, you will take the Orb of Tornarmi and clean the Main Hall"
"Yes Master Fung!" said Omi as he grabbed the Orb of Tornarmi and ran off to the Main Hall.
"Raimundo, you will take the Third Arm Sash and clean the dishes"
"Okay…" sighed Raimundo as he took the Sash and walked off to the kitchen.
"Clay, you will take the Jet Bootsu and dust the temple lanterns"
"I'm on it, partner" said Clay as he put the Jet Bootsu on and flew off,
"Kimiko, you will take the Lotus Twister and tidy the Dormitory area"
"Ok, Master Fung" said Kimiko as she walked off towards the Dormitory waving her over stretched hand, "See you later, Ryan!"
"So what am I doing?" said Ryan as he looked at Master Fung,
"You, Ryan, will sweep the temple paths with the Wing's of Huricun"
Ryan and Master Fung stood at the end of one of the paths that led through the temple. Being early winter, the path was covered in a thick layer of orange and brown leaves.
"The path here is about 100 meters" said Master Fung "It would take an average person about 20 to 30 minuets to sweep the whole path"
"And there is more than one path in the temple" said Ryan "I could be here all night…"
"Yes, but if you use the Wing's, it could be done sooner than you think"
"Ok then, let's give it a try…" said Ryan stepping towards the path and held the wings out, "Wing's of Huricun!"
With a strong swing of the staff, a blast of wind came out of the blades that were on the end of the staff. As the wind shot down the path, they began to swirl around forming a small tornado, sucking up the leaves.
"Cool…" said Ryan as he watched the wind blow out of the temple.
"Now, using the staff" said Master Fung, as he walked away into the temple, "Blow the leaves out of the temple"
"No worries!" said Ryan "I'll get it done"
