Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
10: The Rainbow Crown
"Stop everything!" cried Dojo "We got a class 5 Shen Gong Wu alert!"
"And just when I was winning…" groaned Omi, who managed to evade Raimundo's stretchy arms longer than any one else.
"What we got?" said Clay, as he as they all moved towards Dojo as he got out the Shen Gong Scroll.
"It's the Rainbow Crown" said Dojo as he opened the Shen gong scroll, "It allows it's user to recall any memory, used to counter the affects of the Wushan Geyser"
"Hey Ryan" whispered Kimiko, nodding her head way from the others, "Come over here…"
"What is it?" said Ryan when he and Kimiko were out of earshot of the others.
"If we get that Wu" said Kimiko "We could us it to get you memory back!"
Ryan's face lit up,
"Yeah! Your right!" said Ryan. He turned around and dashed towards Dojo.
"Come on, Dojo!" he said "Let's get going!"
Dojo super sized himself and the monks jumped on.
"Hold on tight!" said Dojo as he took off "We're heading back to New York city!"
Skies over New York City…
Chase Young stood on the highest point of the Empire State building, over looking New York. He looked up and saw a small green speck weave its way towards him. He lifted the Eagle Scope to his eyes and gazed at the speck.
"Ah…The monks have arrived right on time…" he said to himself as he zoomed in on Dojo's back, "Ryan is with them as well…Perfect…Time to see how effective my plan is…"
"Back in New York city!" said Raimundo as he looked down at the roads below.
"After getting the Rainbow Crown, I'd like to get in touch with Jermaine again…" said Omi
"Where is the Crown then, Dojo?" said Ryan, climbing over Dojo's head to get a better view.
"It's hidden over there!" said Dojo, pointing towards the Statue of Liberty.
"Hey!" said Omi "It is the statue of the great warrior!"
"Okay…" said Raimundo "Let's just get the crown…"
They landed on the island and jumped off Dojo.
"Okay guys!" said Dojo "The crown is somewhere on this island"
"I want to search the top of the statue!" said Omi jumping up and down excitedly.
"I'll go too" said Ryan as he and Omi went off towards the stairs.
"Ok then, me, Rai and Kimiko will search the lower part" said Clay "Let's split up!"
After a minuet or so, Ryan and Omi were at the top of the statue.
"Omi…Could you…Slow down…" gasped Ryan as he climbed the last step.
"Wow! Cold dud!" said Omi as he admired the view, "I can see all of New York from up here!"
Ryan was too exhausted to correct him.
"Come on…" gasped Ryan "Let's look for it…"
After almost half an hour of looking around, they were getting nowhere.
"Omi!" called Ryan "This is pointless! The others may have found it by now!"
"Okay!" called Omi from somewhere, "But we still haven't checked on top of the statue!"
"Okay, I'll look there and then we head back down!" said Ryan as he climbed up onto the statue roof.
"Now…If I was a Rainbow Crown…" thought Ryan as he looked around, "Where would I be?"
"How about behind you?" said a voice from behind him.
Ryan looked behind him, on the top of Lady Liberty's lantern was a man; he had black hair, evil brown eyes and was wearing ancient combat armour.
"Who are you?" said Ryan as he cautiously turned around to face him.
"I am Chase Young" said the man "And I know all about you…Ryan…"
"Really?" said Ryan "What do you know about me?"
Chase smiled with an evil grin, "I know that you're here seeking the Rainbow Crown, in hope that it can cure you of you amnesia"
"How…How do you know?" gasped Ryan.
"I know many things" grinned Chase "Such as the exact location of the Rainbow Crown"
"Where is it?" said Ryan "Tell me!"
"What if you joined me, I will show you where the Rainbow Crown is…"
Ryan thought about that for a brief moment,
"Nah, I don't need you help; I'll find it myself…"
"Oh well…" sighed Chase as he pulled something out from behind him, "What am I going to do with this then?"
Ryan looked up, in Chase's left hand was a crown of small disks, all linked together and each disk was a different colour.
"Is that…" gasped Ryan "The Rainbow Crown?"
Chase grinned as he waved it in his face, "My offer still stands…"
Ryan began to get angry, "Hand it over, unless you want to feel my foot up your backside!"
"If you want it so badly…" said Chase as he handed the crown towards Ryan "Why don't you try and take it?"
"Very well…" said Ryan calmly, as he held his arm out and grasped the crown with his hand. The crown began glow with gold light.
"Chase Young! I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!"
"We will play "King of the Hill", first to fall off the statue wins!" said Chase "We will play only for the crown"
"I wager the Sword of the Tempest!" said Ryan
"I wager the Reversing Mirror!" replied Chase
"Okay then! You're on!" said Ryan
"Let's go! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"
The statue began to shake and rise out of the ground. The statue rose higher and higher until they were above the clouds. There was a sudden flash as Ryan's Xiaolin Armour appeared on him.
"Ready?" said Chase as he gave Ryan an evil grin,
"Ready when you are…" said Ryan.
"GONG YI TAMPI!"
Ryan shot at Chase, swinging his sword wildly at him. Chase evaded each swing with ease, with the blade only missing him by mere inches.
"You sword technique is un-refined" said Chase, stopping the blade with his bare hands. Ryan jumped back away from him.
"You haven't seen what else I can do yet!" said Ryan as he put the sword in its holder on his back.
"Go on then…" said Chase as he moved around Ryan, "Show me what you got!"
Ryan charged at Chase and leaped into the air,
"Tiger Hunting Mouse!" yelled Ryan as he dived at Chase. He blocked Ryan's attack and countered it with one of his own moves.
"Grasshopper Jumping High!"
Ryan and Chase then began swapping moves with each other, along with a barrage of fists and kicks.
"Deer Walking Backwards!"
"Spider Catching Fly!"
"Robin Eating Worm!"
"Snake Taking Nap!"
After twenty strangely named moves, Ryan and Chase jumped away from each other.
"Your combat skills are impressive" said Chase "You skills may even surpass Omi…"
"I'm not finished yet" said Ryan "I still have an ace up my sleeve!"
Ryan suddenly darted at Chase, pulling out his sword.
"Sword of the Tempest!" cried Ryan, as a thunder bolt shot out of the sword directly at Chase.
"Too obvious…" sighed Chase as he stood their, pretending that he didn't notice the bolt coming straight at him, "Reversing Mirror!"
The thunder bolt bounced of the mirror and hit Ryan square in the chest.
"Ugh!" cried Ryan as he shot backwards, hitting the ground with a thud and slid off the platform.
There was a sudden flash, and the statue returned back down to earth. Ryan opened his eyes, by chance he managed to grab onto the edge of the statue.
"Uh oh!" gasped Ryan as he looked down, he realised that he was hanging on a ledge that was very far from the ground.
"You have come along very well, Ryan" said Chase as he looked down at Ryan.
"Okay! Okay!" said Ryan "You win!"
Chase grinned down at him as he put the Rainbow Crown right in front of Ryan's face.
"One day…You will have this crown" said Chase, "And then the truth shall be revealed…"
Ryan looked up at Chase with a clueless look on his face.
"Goodbye Ryan!" said Chase as he began to fade away, "We will meet again…"
"Great!" groaned Ryan as Chase disappeared completely into thin air, "He could have at least given me a hand on getting back up!"
"Ryan!" called a voice from somewhere, "Ryan, where are you?"
"Kimiko?" called Ryan "I'm over here!"
Kimiko appeared and looked down at him.
"Ryan…" giggled Kimiko "There's no time to be hanging around…"
"Oh, ha ha ha!" laughed Ryan sarcastically "Can you help me up?"
"Did you have any luck finding the crown?" said Raimundo as Kimiko helped Ryan back onto the ledge.
"Well…Yes…" sighed Ryan "But Chase Young got here first…"
"It was very unwise to go against Chase yourself" said Omi "Only I have a chance of beating him"
Ryan sighed as he walked past them with a glum look on his face.
"Ryan?" said Kimiko "You okay?"
"I'm fine…" sighed Ryan quietly as he looked out over New York.
"Come on" said Dojo "If we go now, we can get home in time for dinner…and chores"
Everyone groaned as Dojo super sized and everyone climbed on.
