Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
21: Darkness…Thy name is Ryan
On a cliff top over looking the temple…
"Hmm…" thought Chase as he looked down at the temple from the cliff top,
"So what's new?" said Wuya from behind him.
"Ryan has been coming along nicely, he is defiantly faster than the Dragon of Earth, he has beaten the Dragon of Wind with his own element, and he has proven to have more skill than the Dragon of Water…"
"So where's the problem?" said Wuya as she moved towards the cliff edge to look at the temple.
"It is the Dragon of Fire…" said Chase, "I didn't expect for them to develop a Chi Bond…"
"A…Chi Bond?" said Wuya. Chase was quiet for a moment as he looked down at the temple.
"We need to test Kimiko's strength…" said Chase as he pulled out the Shadow of Fear, "And I need you to do it, Wuya…"
Wuya gave him a surprised look, but then gave him a suspicious look.
"Hmm…" thought Wuya "I don't know…"
"I will give you some of your powers back to use against her..."
"Deal!"
"Excellent…" said Chase with an evil grin spreading across his face, "Soon…All hell will be let lose on the temple…"
Back at the Temple…
"That was…Amazing…" sighed Kimiko as she rolled across the bed, "You're a really good kisser…"
"I know I am…" said Ryan as he lay next to her. She rolled over and kissed Ryan on the cheek and rested her head on his neck. Ryan smiled as he put his arm around her.
"Ryan…You make me the happiest girl ever…" whispered Kimiko as she ran her hand over his chest.
"Yeah…" sighed Ryan as he put his other arm around her, she sighed as she snuggled into Ryan's warm embrace, "To think that we only known each other for a short amount of time…"
"Yeah…I wonder what the future will have in stall for us"
"We could always use the Crystal Glasses?"
Kimiko thought about that for a moment, she smiled as she felt Ryan's hands move through her hair.
"Nah…Let's let the future surprise us"
Ryan yawned as he looked at the clock, 11:47.
"Well Kimiko…Looks like you have successfully exhausted me…" yawned Ryan as his eyes began to close. Kimiko looked up at Ryan, her blue eyes looking into his.
"Night Ryan…I love you…"
"Night Kimiko…" whispered Ryan as he gave her one last passionate kiss, "I…love…you…zzzzz…"
Kimiko didn't react to him falling asleep, she was already fast asleep.
On the cliff top over looking the temple…
"Finally, they are all asleep…" said Chase as he held the Shadow of Fears high in the air, "At midnight…You will see my evil world conquering plan in action…"
Wuya gave an evil chuckle.
"When I give the signal…You will go to the temple and find Kimiko" said Chase
"Make sure that you fight her alone and that she doesn't use Shen Gong Wu, but do not kill her…"
The clouds above them began to gather around them, the wind began to pick up and thunder began to rumble in the air.
"It is time…" grinned Chase, "Finally…After almost a year of planning and working…I will finally see the demise of the Xiaolin Monks…"
Back at the Temple…
"Whoa…" groaned Ryan as he woke up, his head slightly dizzy. He turned his head and looked at his clock, 12:00. He could feel that his body was exhausted, but something in the back of his mind compelled him to get up. He looked down at Kimiko who had her head on his chest; she let out a small sigh as her body twitched slightly.
"Sorry Kimiko…" whispered Ryan as he gently lifted her off him and laid her in his bed, "Aww…She looks so cute when she's asleep..."
He put on his robes and walked out his room.
"What is wrong with me?" groaned Ryan as he walked through the temple grounds, "Why do I feel so…angry?"
His body was becoming weak; he could feel his legs giving way beneath him. He collapsed onto his knees; his head was pounding as pain as something began to spread through his body. A voice suddenly echoed in his head, "You know who you are…"
"What?" said Ryan.
"You understand what you must do…"
"What's going on?" groaned Ryan "Why am I feeling hatred?"
"Death to the Xiaolin Dragons…"
"Death…To the…Dragons?" stuttered Ryan.
"Death to your enemies…Raimundo…Clay…Omi…"
"No…" said Ryan
"Death…to Kimiko!"
"No!" gasped Ryan, his head felt like it was on fire. He struggled to his feet, when suddenly a strange feeling spread through his body, Ryan began to lose control of his body, as if something was taking over.
"This is your purpose in life…The reason why you were created…" Said the voice "You can't escape it…"
"No! I won't kill them, I…Ugh…" gasped Ryan as he tried to fight the feeling, but was losing badly.
"Kill the monks…leave no survivors…"
Ryan looked up from the floor.
"Yes…Kill…The monks… Kill…Them all" said Ryan as he turned towards the temple with an evil grin on his face, "Kill…Kimiko!"
"Ryan?" yawned Kimiko as woke up and reached out to try and find Ryan, "Ryan? Where are you?"
She looked up and saw that he wasn't there; she then looked at the clock, 12:02.
"What the hell is he doing up at this hour…" groaned Kimiko.
She put on her clothes and walked out onto the Temple grounds. The cold night air blew, making her shiver.
"Don't know how he can stand this…" shivered Kimiko as she looked around. Thunder rumbled in the distance, Kimiko looked up and walked towards one of the temple buildings.
"He's here…" said Kimiko, "I can feel his Chi…"
She looked up into the sky, storm clouds were gathering.
"He has fully charged himself with his Chi!" gasped Kimiko "What the hell is he doing!"
Suddenly, lightning struck one of the temple towers, making it burst into flames. The fire burnt a large hole in the side. Kimiko gasped as she leaped backwards to doge the falling embers. She looked up and saw a figure was standing in the burning remains of the tower.
"Ryan!" gasped Kimiko, the figure looked down at her, his eyes radiating with evil, leaped down from the tower and landed on the roof of the temple below.
"Ryan! What the hell are you doing!" shouted Kimiko. Ryan looked down at her; an evil grin was on his face.
"Ah…Kimiko…My first kill…"
He held out his hand and pointed to the building to the left of her.
"Be the first to witness my true power!" he said "Thunder Ball! Lighting!"
A bolt of lighting shot out his hand and hit the building, causing it to explode and burst into flame. Kimiko ducked to avoid the falling rubble.
"Ryan!" cried Kimiko "What's wrong? Why are you doing this?"
"What in tar nation is going on?" shouted Clay as he, Raimundo, Omi, Dojo and Master Fung came rushing out of the Temple.
"It's Ryan!" cried Kimiko "Something's wrong!"
"The rest of my victims have turned up…" said Ryan "There will be no escape…and no mercy!"
He leaped down, sending bolts of lighting at the others as he fell.
"What are we going to do!" screamed Dojo as he dived for cover under a pile of rubble.
"I know what I'm going to do!" yelled Raimundo as he cracked his knuckles and leaped towards Ryan, "Typhoon Boom! Wind!"
"Tut, Tut Raimundo…" sighed Ryan as the blast of wind hit him, "You should know that your element is no good against me…"
"Seismic Kick! Earth!" shouted Clay as he stomped the ground causing the tiles on the floor to fly at Ryan, who evaded each shot with ease.
"Clay, your moves are too slow…" taunted Ryan.
"Leopard Attack!" cried Omi as he dived at Ryan.
"Kangaroo Counter Kick!" cried Ryan as he grabbed Omi by the head, and spun kicked him into Clay and Raimundo.
"Tangle Web Comb!" yelled Kimiko, the comb shot out its hairy tendrils at Ryan, binding his arms to his waist.
"Ryan! What are you doing!" yelled Kimiko, "Why are you doing this!"
Ryan looked at her; his eyes momentarily stopped glowing.
"I…don't…know…" said Ryan in a weak voice, "I…can't…control…it…"
