UXD: Hello again people! Thanks for R&R, still haven't broken the record (Well...I did, but only because I review it myself, but that doesn't count!) Here's chapter 16!
Dojo: NEW WU ALERT!
UXD: Dojo…The chapter hasn't started yet…
Dojo: Huh? I thought it did?
Ryan: (Sarcastic tone) Yes Dojo, the chapter starts before the title and disclaimer…
Dojo: Okay Ryan! No need to be like that! Just because we caught you sleeping with Kimiko
Ryan: (Blushing) Grrrrrr!
Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown
Dojo: Now can I start?
UXD: Yes! After the title…
Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
16: Frozen Wasteland
"Shen Gong Wu Alert!" yelled Dojo as he burst into the kitchen. Ryan and Kimiko broke out of the kiss and looked over at him.
"Err…Sorry to disturb you…" said Dojo, as he noticed Kimiko's knuckles turning white again.
"What is it?" growled Kimiko,
"It's a new Shen gong wu…" stuttered Dojo as he opened the Wu scroll, "It's the Heart Devine, It allows it's user to heal illness and wounds"
"Kimiko" whispered Ryan holding her hand, "Calm down, we can continue it later…"
Kimiko managed to put a smile on her face.
"We are going in 5 minuets" said Dojo, slivering out of the kitchen "Make sure you wrap up warm! It's cold up north!"
"Okay!" called Ryan "Come on, Kimiko, we need to get ready"
A few miles from the north pole…
Dojo flew over the frozen wastelands of the Arctic, the winds howling at speeds strong enough to capsize a boat.
"H-h-here we are…" shivered Dojo "T-t-the winter wonder l-l-land of the A-a-arctic"
"S-s-so much for the s-s-sunny day…" shivered Kimiko.
"C-c-couldn't you and D-d-dashi have hidden it somewhere w-w-warmer?" shivered Raimundo.
A sudden gust of wind almost knocked them all off Dojo's back,
"H-h-hold on, kids!" called Dojo "I-i-i'm going to have to make an emergency l-l-landing!"
They looked around from where Dojo landed, for miles around there was nothing but white flurry.
"O-o-oh great!" sighed Kimiko "W-w-we're in the middle of n-n-nowhere, with no i-i-idea where the S-s-shen gong wu is…"
"I-i-it's too risky to s-s-stay here for too long in this w-w-weather…" shivered Clay "O-o-our best bet is to search on a-a-and under the ice sheet"
"O-o-okay!" shivered Omi "I h-h-have a plan! I will take the S-s-silver Manta Ray and s-s-search under the ice"
"O-o-okay, I-i-i will go across the ice in the T-t-tunnel Armadillo" shivered Ryan as he pulled out the Tunnel Armadillo.
"O-o-okay" shivered Raimundo "M-m-me and Kimiko will search from the sky on D-d-dojo"
Ryan looked up at Raimundo.
"W-w-what?" shivered Ryan.
"K-k-kimiko is going with m-m-me" shivered Raimundo.
"No" shivered Ryan "S-s-she's coming with m-m-me"
"No" said Raimundo as he gave Ryan a dark stare, "Me"
"No" said Ryan giving Raimundo the same look, "Me"
"No, Me"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"I know" said Ryan "Let's l-l-let Kimiko d-d-decide!"
They both looked at Kimiko, who had her hand on her forehead.
"I will g-g-go with Ryan" shivered Kimiko.
"The l-l-lady has spoken!" said Ryan. Raimundo growled at Ryan as he gave him a smug grin.
"Come on R-r-rai" shivered Clay "Let's get on D-d-dojo and go"
Raimundo grumbled to himself as he and Clay got on Dojo. Omi got out the Silver Manta Ray and held it in the air.
"S-s-silver Manta Ray!" shouted Omi. The silver Shen gong wu flew into the air, and with the bright flash, a giant silver craft appeared in front of them.
"See you l-l-later! C-c-crocodile!" called Omi, as he leaped into the cockpit of the Silver Manta Ray.
"It's A-a-alligator!" shouted Raimundo as Dojo took off.
"C-c-come on Kimiko!" shivered Ryan as he threw the Tunnel Armadillo on the ground, "T-t-tunnel Armadillo!"
There was another bright flash as the Tunnel Armadillo grew in size.
"L-l-lets get in before w-w-we freeze to death" shivered Ryan as he jumped in to the front seat; Kimiko jumped in next to him and closed the cockpit. The drill on the front of the Armadillo began to spin as it accelerated through the snow drifts.
"Seen anything yet?" said Kimiko as she looked out into the white flurry.
"No, nothing…" sighed Ryan as she strained his eyes, trying to see where he was going.
"Do you think the others have found it?" said Kimiko as she looked over at Ryan,
"I doubt it…" said Ryan "It is impossible to see anything from where Raimundo, Clay and Dojo are, and Omi had to search the dark passages of the caverns"
Kimiko sighed as she looked back out the window.
"Hey Kimiko?" said Ryan "You couldn't heat things up in here with you element could you? I'm freezing my ass off in here…"
Kimiko looked over at Ryan, giving him a sly grin. She got up from her seat and moved behind Ryan.
"Err…Kimiko?" said Ryan as he looked into her seat, seeing that she wasn't there, "Are you going to heat things up?"
He felt hands move across his shoulders and down his chest.
"Err…You may have misunderstood the meaning of heat things up…" said Ryan as Kimiko moved around his seat and sat on his lap.
"Are you sure you don't want me to…Heat things up?" said Kimiko as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him on the cheek.
"Never mind…" sighed Ryan as Kimiko pulled his head down and kissed him. Ryan smiled as he cradled her in his lap.
"So this trip hasn't been a total waste of time then…" said Ryan, as he stared into her eyes.
"Let's hope nothing interrupts us this time…" said Kimiko as she stroked Ryan's face.
There was a sudden loud cracking noise, which made Ryan and Kimiko jump.
"What was the hell!" said Ryan as he looked up,
"I may have spoke too soon…" sighed Kimiko as she got up from Ryan's lap and looked out the window. There was another loud cracking noise.
"There it was again!" said Ryan.
Ryan stopped the Armadillo and opened the cockpit.
"I can't see anything" said Kimiko as she looked around.
"I have a bad feeling about this…" said Ryan as the ground began to sink under them.
"Kimiko!" cried Ryan "Thin ice!"
Before either of them could react, the ground gave way, and Ryan and Kimiko plummeted down beneath the ice and into the darkness.
"Ugh…" groaned Kimko as she came round, "My head…"
She stood up, brushing the snow off her clothes, and looked around the icy cave.
"Where are we?" said Kimiko, she looked up at the hole that they fell through, they had fallen quite a distance. She looked to the left and saw that the Tunnel Armadillo had deactivated, lying a few feet away from it was Sword of the Tempest.
"Ryan's Sword…Ryan!" cried Kimiko as she dashed over, and picked up the sword. She looked around and saw that Ryan was nowhere to be seen.
"Ryan!" cried Kimiko as she looked around, "Where are you?"
"Mumpp!" said a muffled voice from behind her; she got up and spun around.
"Ryan?" said Kimiko, there was movement coming from a pile of snow. She began to dig away at the snow and found the half frozen face of Ryan looking up at her.
"H-h-hello!" shivered Ryan.
"Are you okay?" said Kimiko as she brushed the snow off him and helped him to his feet.
"I'm fine…" said Ryan "Now then, we have to work out how to get out…"
"You can use you element to fly us out" said Kimiko
"Ok then" said Ryan "Hold on to me and…"
Ryan stopped and looked towards a path that led deep into the caverns.
"What's wrong?" said Kimiko
"There's something down there…" said Ryan as he picked up the Sword of the Tempest and the Tunnel Armadillo. He moved towards a small hole in the wall and saw that there was a passageway on the other side. They both climbed through and began to walk down the passage. The ice in the caves sparkled as Ryan and Kimiko walked by, the light of the sun filtered through the snow on the ground and through the ice, making the area glow a brilliant blue. Kimiko looked around, admiring the light show.
"How do you know there is something down here…" said Kimiko.
"Hyelin powers…" muttered a voice.
"What was that?" gasped Kimiko.
"What?" said Ryan looking back at her.
"You said something…" she replied
"I didn't say anything" said Ryan as he continued to walk down the corridor, leaving Kimiko standing there, staring at him. Suddenly, memories of Kimiko's suspicions of him came rushing back.
"Did he say…Hyelin powers…First the eyes…Now Hyelin powers?"
Kimiko shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought.
"No…He can't be…Come on Kimiko…Try to ignore them…"
"Hey Kimiko!" called Ryan from ahead, "Hurry up!"
Kimiko said nothing as she walked towards Ryan.
"You okay?" said Ryan as Kimiko walked past him.
"I'm fine…" said Kimiko, as she and Ryan continued to walk down the corridor.
UXD: R&R everybody!
Ryan: Let's make this interesting, I bet you than no one can guess who will be in the next showdown!
UXD: What if they guess correctly?
Ryan: They get to introduce Chapter 17!
UXD: Hmm… (Shrugs shoulders) Yeah okay! All you have to do is guess who will be in the showdown! Closest answer wins! (Clue: Xiaolin Showdown Tsunami (4 people)) Oh! And don't forget to R&R!
