Hey everyone! Thank's for R&R, I've been watching the new episodes, and I have managed to include some new wu! The UK have almost caught up with the USA with Xiaolin Showdown, I think they are planning to run the programms together at the same time…Well whatever! Let's get on with the story…

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown


Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child

42: Brain Strain

The sun shone through the gap in the curtain and into Kimiko's room. The light shone onto her make-up mirror which reflected it right into Kimiko's face. She groaned as she opened her eyes, the light stung her eyes which helped her wake up. All night she had been thinking of a way to save Ryan. She had gone through every Shen gong wu in her head, but each one had there own disadvantages. The Sapphire Dragon would have worked, but Dojo had misplaced the Emperor Scorpion. The Zing-Zom Bone or Woozy Shooter probably won't have an effect on them and the Sphere of Yin would have helped, but Chase has it. The Kuzusu Atom would render him to a pile of dust and the Rio Reverso, who knows what that would turn Ryan into.


She got dressed clothes and walked to the kitchen. She saw that the others were already up and by the look in their eyes, they had the same night's sleep she had.

"Good morning, Kimiko" said Omi "How did you sleep last night?"

"Not so good…" yawned Kimiko as she sat at the table.

"I still have no idea how to get Ryan…" yawned Raimundo as he almost fell asleep and fell into his breakfast.

"This problem is trickier than untangling my Aunty May's spaghetti…" yawned Clay as he lazily put food in his mouth. Kimiko groaned as she banged her head on the table.

"Were not getting any where like this…" she groaned "Are we sure there isn't one thing that we haven't thought about?"

The others thought about it for a moment, when suddenly Omi came up with an idea.

"Ah ha!" he said as he leaped of his chair and ran of towards the vault, "I have got the best idea ever!"

Kimiko dashed from her space, without finishing her breakfast, and ran after him shouting, "Come on guy! Omi may be on to something!"

Raimundo got up and followed her out of the room; Clay on the other hand didn't leave the room until he had a handful of bacon.

"What do you think he's thought of?" said Raimundo as he, Kimiko and Clay ran to the vault.

"Only one way to find out" said Clay as the stopped at the vault door to catch their breath. From inside the vault, they heard the rumbling of the vault floor, followed by the sound of footsteps. Then they heard Omi shout out loud and clear, "Fountain of Hui!"

"Uh oh!" said Clay as they rushed to open the door to the vault.


The ran into the vault and saw Omi sitting under the blue water of the Fountain of Hui as it flowed out, covering Omi in a blue light. Suddenly Omi began to cry out in pain as the power of the Wu began to surge through his brain. It felt like every nerve in his head was swelling up. He felt his brain push against his skull with the force that would make it burst. His head would have exploded if Clay didn't lasso him away from the Fountain.

"Omi!" said Kimiko as Clay released Omi from the lasso, "What are you doing? Are you alright?"

"Themoonweighsaproximately73500000000000000000000Kgs…TheHeroShrew'sbackbonecansupportafullygrownhumanbeing…KonamiarecurrentlyinproductionofaXiaolinShowdownvideogamefor2006…PlatinumistheeasiestmetaltoturnintoGold,butPlatinumismorevaluablethanGold…" said Omi, his lips were moving so fast, they were just a blur.

"He's fine…" sighed Raimundo as he tried to make sense of what Omi was blabbering on about, "Well, as fine as Omi goes…"

"Well Omi?" said Clay "Can you think of anything?"

Omi has used the Fountain of Hui twice, once when they were attack by Jack's army of green monkeys and the other when he and Chase looked for an answer to destroy the spiders. He knew how to control the surge of information flowing through his mind, so he tried to slow it down so he could speak normally.

"Not yet…" groaned Omi, rubbing his head, "I'm still trying to…Lightningisroughly

5.42timeshotterthanthesurfaceofthesun…make sense of what I'm thinking about"

Kimiko groaned as she slapped her hand on her forehead.

"Look's like we are back to square one…" she groaned

"Look's like it…" sighed Clay as he sat down on the floor.

"Don't worry my friends" said Omi as he put the Fountain of Hui back in the vault, "I'm sure that we will think of something…TheNileisthelongestriverintheworldmeasuringnearly6695Kmlong…Wow! I didn't know that!"


Back at Chase's Lair…

Ryan groaned as he crawled out of bed. He didn't get hardly any sleep last night because of Katnappè. All night she was purring in his ear, stroking his hair, hugging him, kissing him, etc. Ryan would have thought after the first hour of him completely ignoring her, she would have got the message. He gave a small sigh as he got up and picked up the Sword of the Tempest. He looked over at his bed; Katnappè was asleep on the other end of the bed. As soon as she fell asleep that night, Ryan moved as far away from her as possible, which wasn't very far considering it wasn't a very large bed.

"Okay…" thought Ryan as he tiptoed towards the door, "All I have to do is to leave the room without waking her up…"

He was getting closer to the door; the door handle was within arms reach. He took another quick peek at Katnappè, her ears twitched, but she showed no sigh of waking up. He carefully opened the door, trying so hard not to make it creak. When the door was wide enough he began to step through, but was stopped half way by a voice behind him.

"Where are you going, hot stuff?" said the voice.

"Damn it!" thought Ryan as he looked around, Katnappè was sitting up in bed, smiling sweetly at him "I don't need this!"

"Nowhere that concerns you, Katnappè…" growled Ryan as he turned his back to her. Katnappè gave a sigh as she fell back onto the bed. She slowly slid out of bed and walked over to him.

"That's what I like about you…" sighed Katnappè as she moved her arms around his chest, "You're so…Mysterious"

Ryan groaned as he broke out of her hug and walked out of the room.

"I had fun last night…" said Katnappè purring as she inspected her nails, "Did you have fun last night?"

"Yes…I had fun…" growled Ryan in a sarcastic tone as he walked down the corridor, "…Not!"

"Okay then, lion boy…" sighed Katnappè who obviously didn't hear Ryan say "Not", "I will be seeing you later on for some more fun…"

She gave small giggle as she went back into Ryan's room, leaving Ryan in the corridor.

"Ugh… I thought I was going to throw up…" groaned Ryan as he walked off into the darkness of Chase's lair.


Ryan walked into the dinning room where Wuya, Vlad and Tubbimura were already there eating breakfast.

"Good Morning, Master Young" said Tubbimura as he got up from the table, bowed towards him and sat back down to eat his breakfast.

"Morning Tubbimura…" sighed Ryan as he walked past him.

"Hello Ryan!" said Vlad as he looked over to him.

"Hello Vlad…" sighed Ryan. He walked past Wuya who gave him a quick dark glare. He sat down next to her and helped himself to the food that was already there in front of him. He looked over at Wuya; he knew that being in Wuya's present pissed her off. She had been jealous of Ryan ever, since he replaced her as Chase's favourite person for world domination.

"Morning Wuya…" said Ryan in a quite voice, without looking up. Wuya gave a small grunt as she gave Ryan a brief glance.

"Morning Ryan…" grumbled Wuya as she went back to her breakfast. There was the rumbling of a door as Chase walked into the room, he walked over to the table and sat down. He opened a can of Low Mang Lone soup and poured it into a bowl. Ryan watched him as he slowly scooped the soup with a spoon and eats it.

"How anyone could live where their diet is mainly soup…Must do wonders for his digestion, just eating fluids…" thought Ryan as he looked at his breakfast. Chase gave a small chuckle as he looked up from his soup; he turned his head at Ryan who quickly looked way. Ryan blushed as he remembered that Chase had mind reading abilities.

"Ryan, today you're going to do a highly advanced training" said Chase as he went back to his soup.

"Yes father" said Ryan, "Where am I going today? Brazil? Australia? Maybe Hawaii?"

"This isn't a travel agency, Ryan…" sighed Wuya to herself. Chase got up from his seat and walked towards the training room.

"Come Ryan, your challenge waits…"
