Hello again, Thanks to all the people who R&R! I saw the Wudai moves last night, they are okay, but the Wudai Orion Formation was so cool! It's easy to make up Wudai moves, its Wudai, (Something space related, e.g. Neptune, Mars, Star or Crater), then the element! The Wudai moves will appear in my next story, but enough of my blabbering, lets get on with the story!

Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child

35: Echoes of Lost Love

Back in Chase's lair…

"Ugh…" groaned Ryan as he came round. He looked around and saw that he was back in Chase's training room; he looked up and saw that Chase was glaring down at him.

"You failed the training mission!" he growled as Ryan got to his feet.

"Well I'm sorry!" complained Ryan "I heard a strange voice, and my arm is killing me!"

Chase sighed as Ryan picked up the Sword of the Tempest and put it in it holder.

"You will now do another training exercise" said Chase "This time you will try and conquer Japan"

"What?" groaned Ryan "I've been training all morning! I've conquered France, the USA, China and England! Can I at least take a break?"

"Grrrr…" growled Chase, "Very well…"

"Thank you, father" said Ryan bowing. Chase bowed back and walked out of a door at the back of the room. Ryan turned around and walked towards a door on the other side of the room. The door closed, and Ryan began walking towards his room.

"Ow…" groaned Ryan rubbing his arm, as he walked down the dark and gloomy passage way, "My arm…It's like someone tried to slit my wrist with glass…"

"Not long now…"

"Huh?" said Ryan turning around; he was all alone in that corridor. He shrugged his shoulders and continued down the corridor.

"Soon my pain will be gone…"

"Who's there?" said Ryan as he spun around, the light that shone from the torches casts shadows down the corridor, but there was still no sign of anyone. He turned around and continued down the corridor.

"Ryan…Because of you…I no longer fear death…Goodbye…Forever…"

"I'm warning you!" yelled Ryan as she spun around, his fists cracking with green sparks, "Whoever's there, knock it off!"

His charged fists lit up the corridor behind him; there was still no one behind him.

"Hello, new partner in evil" said a voice behind. Ryan jumped ten feet into the air as someone's hand touched him on the shoulder. There was a banging noise as he hit the ceiling and fell to the ground.

"Oh…" said the voice as he looked over Ryan, "Sorry!"

"Vlad!" shouted Ryan as he got up from the floor "Was it you? Was it you doing those voices?"

"Voices?" said Vlad "I hear no voices"

"Oh…" said Ryan as he walked down the corridor, "Okay, sorry about that"

"Don't worry, Master Young" said Vlad bowing.

"Please…" sighed Ryan "Call me Ryan"

Ryan turned to the left, opened a pair of black doors and walked into the room. Unlike the corridors of Chase's lair, this room was better lit than the others. There was a large black bed on one side and a large collection of evil looking weapons and items.

"Ahh…" sighed Ryan, "My old room, just how I left it…"

He walked over to the wall of weapons and saw that there was a blank space on the wall. He pulled the Sword of the Tempest off his back and put it on the wall. He then walked over to his bed and flopped onto it.

"Being the son of an evil genius is the best…" sighed Ryan as he rolled onto his back "You get what you want…People fear and respect you…But…Something is missing"

He sat up and closed his eyes, putting himself in a meditative state. As he felt his body relax, a strange image entered his mind. A person lying on the ground soaked in blood. There was something about that person that Ryan found familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Ryan!" called a voice from the doorway; Ryan opened his eyes, losing the image into the void of his mind. He looked over towards the door, Wuya walked into his room.

"Ryan, Chase wants you in the training room" said Wuya, her eyes glared at him, filled to the brim with hatred.

"Ahem…" coughed Ryan. Wuya groaned as she slapped her forehead.

"Chase wants you in the training room…Master Young…" growled Wuya.

"Thank you Wuya" chucked Ryan; he didn't like being called Master Young, but he enjoyed seeing Wuya being humiliated by it. He got off his bed and walked out the door with Wuya, who was muttering and cursing under her breath.

Back at the temple…

"Do you think she will be okay?" said a voice in the darkness.

"She will be fine now" said another voice "The Heart Devine will help her recover"

"Good thing we found her" said a third voice "Another hour and she would have been dead"

Kimiko began to open her eyes; she looked around the room and saw that Raimundo, Clay, Omi and Master Fung were standing over her. She looked down at her wrist and saw that it was wrapped up in bandages and the Heart Devine was tied to her arm.

"Kimiko?" said Omi as he looked at her, "She's waking up!"

"Guys…" groaned Kimiko.

"Shh!" said Master Fung, resting his hand on her forehead, "Please Kimiko, you need to rest"

"Kimiko" said Raimundo "What did you do to yourself? Why did you try to kill yourself?"

Kimiko looked away from them and began to cry.

"I'm so sorry…" cried Kimiko "I just wanted it to end…"

"Kimiko" said Omi grabbing her hand, "I know it seems hard, but you mustn't throw your life away"

"I know…" cried Kimiko "I want to let go…But I…I…"

Kimiko couldn't finish the sentences because she burst into more tears. Raimundo moved around the bed and held her other hand.

"We know…" he said quietly, "I know you feel bad about losing Ryan, but how would we feel if we lost you too?"

Kimiko felt more tears fall from her eyes. She looked back up at the ceiling and closed her eyes.

"Kimiko?" said Raimundo; a worried look was on his face.

"I'm…fine…" groaned Kimiko, a small smile began to grow across her face as she looked up at Raimundo, "Thanks…for being there…for me…"

Her head began to sink into the pillow behind her as she dozed off.

"Psst!" whispered Clay to Raimundo and Omi, "Maybe we should leave her alone for a bit…"

Raimundo and Omi nodded as they followed him out of the room.

"Grr!" growled Raimundo, he cracked his knuckles as they walked down the corridor, "If I ever see that bastard again, I'll give him a lesson that he will never forget!"

"Ooooo! A lesson!" said Omi, looking at Raimundo, "What are you going to teach him?"

Raimundo was about to explode with anger, when Clay stopped him and said,

"He's going to teach him never mess with the Xiaolin monks"

"Yes!" said Omi as he ran ahead towards the training grounds, "We must prepare for our next battle against our new foe, Ryan Young!"

"How?" said Raimundo "He knows all of our weakness!"

"Plus, he was designed by Chase to exploit our weakness to their fullest!" said Clay

"Maybe…" sighed Omi "But that has never stopped us before! Next time, I'll give him a Leopard Attack! Followed by a Tsunami Strike! Then a Repulse the Monkey!"

Raimundo and Clay watched Omi as he leaped about the grounds, showing them every move he knew.

"BLACHOO!" sneezed Dojo as he slivered from the Temple.

"Eww..." said Omi as he saw the five foot blast of snot that just flew out of Dojo's nose, "That is most disgusting!"

"Err…Blachoo?" said Raimundo as they all looked at him.

"Sorry…" sniffed Dojo "We got a new Shen Gong Wu! And by the look of this Wu cold, it's not a good one…"

"What is it, partner?" said Clay as Dojo pulled out the scroll.

"It's a Wu that is almost as dangerous as the Sapphire Dragon; it's called the Crystal of Demonica!"

"Dangerous, huh?" said Omi "What does it do?"

"It can curse people and make them mutate into horrible demons" shuddered Dojo as he put the scroll away, "Imagine what Chase or Jack would do with it if they got it…"

"Well what are we waiting for!" said Omi as he ran off towards the Wu vault, "Let's get going!"

R&R everyone! I'm really excited about the next story cuz I have came up with the greatest Xaiolin Showdown EVER! It is an eight way showdown, Clay, Omi, Raimundo and Kimiko Vs… (Drum roll)…three of their greatest foes (Not Chase, Wuya, Jack or Roy Bean!) and a fourth mysterious entity using the Sapphire Dragon…If you want to know more, you'll have to wait until "The Blood of the Dragon"…Okay, I'm off to watch "The Life and Times of Hannibal Roy Bean" now! Bye!
