UXD: Hey Omi! How's it going?

(Omi quickly sends today's update so UXD can't read the Authors Comment)

Omi: Do not worry, dear friend! I have done a well done job!

28: Xiaolin Tactics

Raimundo, Clay and Omi sat cross legged in the mediation room, waiting for Ryan to join them and share the information on Kimiko's whereabouts. After ten minutes, Ryan came in carrying a scroll, followed by Master Fung and Dojo.

"So?" said Raimundo "What's the plan?"

Ryan sat down near them and laid the scroll on the floor.

"As you know" said Master Fung "Chase has been out main enemy for quite awhile now"

"So we have taken the liberty to draw out the layout of Chase's lair" said Dojo pointing at the scroll that Ryan had lain out, "These plans however, are based on our trips to his lair, so they are not very accurate and we don't have the whole place covered"

"Can we can the talk and start the planning!" said Ryan "Every second we waste could cost us Kimiko's life!"

Everyone looked at him.

"Thank you" said Ryan "Okay, here's the plan, we first storm the lair"

"We're going to make this a Hit and Run mission" said Dojo "We will head through the front door and into the lair"

"Once in the lair we will split into two teams" said Ryan as he ran his finger across the blueprints of Chase's lair, "Team Rescue and Team Steal"

"Team Steal?" said Raimundo as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes" said Ryan looking up at him, "Team Steal will head here"

He ran a finger towards a room on the left side if the lair.

"According to Omi, who once worked with Chase" said Dojo as he looked at a blushing Omi, "This is were he keeps his Wu"

"Yes, Thank you Dojo" said Ryan "Anyway, Team Rescue will head here"

He moved his hand towards a large circular room on the right.

"Omi said that this is where Chase is normally when he does things like this"

"Okay, partner" said Clay "What will each team do?"

"I'm guessing Team Rescue will go after Kimiko" said Raimundo.

"Right" said Ryan "Team Steal will head here to get a Shen Gong Wu…"

"The Shadow of Fear!" said Omi jumping to his feet.

"You guys catch on fast" said Ryan as he looked up at them "We leave as soon as we are ready! Any questions?"

"Yes" said Clay "Who's going in which teams?"

"You, Raimundo and Omi will be in Team Steal" said Ryan as he rolled the scroll up, Raimundo, Clay and Omi looked at him with a shocked faces.

"What!" gasped Omi.

"You are not going against Chase alone!" said Clay.

"I don't care" said Ryan getting up, "I'm going after her myself…But this time it's personal!"

"Oh no you don't!" said Raimundo as he stood up, "I am not leaving you to get her on your own!"

"Look! You said that this happened because I messed up!" said Ryan "So I'm going to go and fix this myself!"

"Ryan" said Master Fung "You plan is good, but you choice to face Chase alone is unwise, remember, there is strength in numbers"

"But…" said Ryan.

"I recommend that you take Raimundo with you"

Ryan gave a disgruntled grunt as he thought for a moment.

"Fine…Raimundo, you're with me…"

"Okay!" said Omi "Let's be doing this!"

"Let's do this Omi…" sighed Dojo

"That's what I said!"

Later…

They were speeding towards Chase's lair on the Silver Manta Ray.

"Dojo!" called Ryan "What's our ETA?"

Dojo looked back from the controls of the Silver Manta Ray.

"ETA? What the hell does that mean?" said Dojo.

"Estimated Time of Arrival?" called Ryan. Dojo still looked at him as if he was speaking a different language.

"When do we get there, simpleton?"

"Oh! About five minutes!" said Dojo "As if flying the Silver Manta Ray was hard enough for me with my small arms…Now he wants me to understand his flying lingo…"

Ryan ignored him as he looked back at the others and the pile of Wu that they had brought with them.

"Okay…" said Omi "I will take the Orb of Tornami and the Ruby of Ramsies"

"I'll take the Third Arm Sash and the Fist of Temigong" said Clay

"That leaves the Sword of the Storm and the Heart Devine for you Raimundo, and the Sword of the Tempest for me" said Ryan as he polished his sword.

"Okay" said Raimundo as he gathered his Wu, "I'm ready"

"Me too" said Omi, "How about you Clay?"

"Me?" said Clay as he wrapped the Third Arm Sash around him, "I'm as ready as a bull that hasn't had a rodeo in a month"

"Okay…" said Ryan "As soon as we land, we rush in, we want to finish this as soon as possible"

"He we are!" called Dojo, they all looked out of the front window. Chase's lair loomed over them as they approached the main entrance.

"Okay!" said Ryan as the cockpit opened up, "Get ready!"

They approached the cliff ledge and jumped down, the Silver Manta Ray shrunk and landed in Ryan's hands.

"Come on!" shouted Ryan "Let's go before someone sees us!"

They all sped through the front door, not knowing that two people watched them arrive from on top of the cliff.

"They are right on time…"

"What shall we do with them?"

"Make sure that Ryan and Raimundo get to Kimiko, capture the others alive"

"Come on!" said Ryan as he ran down the corridor, the others closely following him, "Which way now, Dojo?"

"Left, then straight!" said Dojo as he clung onto Ryan's head. They turned left and ran straight into the main hall.

"Whoa…" gasped Ryan as he looked up at the magnificent buildings that made up Chase's lair, "Chase has got THE best lair ever…"

"Uh oh…" said Raimundo pointing up the main stairs "We got company!"

An assortment of jungle cats began to walk out from the shadows, licking their lips at them.

"AHH!" screamed Dojo as he dived under Clay's hat.

"Ha!" laughed Ryan as he pulled out the Sword of the Tempest, "Jungle cats…Mere Kittens to us!"

"Don't get too cocky, Ryan!" said Raimundo as he raised the Sword of the Storm. The jungle cats stood up on their hind legs and began to morph into human warriors of all sorts of shapes and sizes.

"Uh huh…" said Ryan with a surprised look on his face, "That's something you don't see everyday…"

The warriors lunged at them.

"Remember!" shouted Ryan as he leaped into the nearest warrior, "We split at the top of the stairs!"

Omi was next to jump into the fray, his large head shouting at that the top of his voice, "Tornado Strike! Water!"

"Typhoon Boom! Wind!" shouted Raimundo as he blew a few warriors back.

"Third Arm Sash! Earth!" shouted Clay as his third arm shot out, punching a nearby warrior out of his way.

"Thunder Ball! Lightning!" cried Ryan, firing balls of lighting at every warrior he could find.

"Guys!" called Raimundo "There's more coming! Let's get moving!"

They all began to run up the stairs, when Omi called out behind them.

"Ah! Guys! A little help!"

They turned to see that Omi was being held by one of the warriors,

"Leave this to me!" said Ryan as he leaped into the air. He landed within a few feet of Omi and the warrior, and with a swift movement of his foot he cried, "Repulse the Monkey!"

His foot hit the warrior right in the face, sending him down the stairs.

"You okay?" said Ryan as he helped Omi up.

"Yeah…" said Omi looking at Ryan, "Err…Where did you learn Repulse the Monkey?"

"I don't know" said Ryan as they ran up the rest of the stairs, "I've always known it…"

Omi was about to reply, when Dojo slivered out from under Clay's hat.

"Come on guys!" said Dojo as he pointed down a corridor, "Ryan and Raimundo, you go that way! I will go with Clay and Omi to help find the Wu!"

"Okay! Let's move!" said Ryan as he and Raimundo ran down the corridor, while Clay and Omi ran down a corridor to the right of the first corridor.

"I'm coming Kimiko…" said Ryan gritting his teeth, "Hold on a little while longer…"

He began to pick up his pace, not knowing that he and the others were walking into…a trap.

What's going to happen? Get ready for the next chapter, which I think is one of the biggest chapters that I have every written! Finally, Ryan's past is revealed! Oh! Don't forget to R&R please! See you whenever!
