Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
46: The Ring, the Ying and the Yang
Kimiko shot like a rocket into the Wu Vault, followed by Clay.
"Omi! Rai!" shouted Kimiko, making Raimundo and Omi jump. Clay walked into the room behind her panting.
"How…Do you…Run so…fast?" he gasped as he sat down beside Omi.
"Never mind!" shouted Kimiko "What is the plan?"
"This is my plan" said Omi as he got to his feet, "You said something about Ryan having two people in him, good and bad. So I propose that we combine the dimensional Chi distorting powers of the Ying Yo-Yo and Yang Yo-Yo and the magical biological splitting abilities of the Ring of the Nine Dragons, we create a split in the space-time continuum between our world and the Ying-Yang world. By concentrating our chi into the split, we can create a black hole strong enough to split Ryan's chi in two. Then by forcing the ring on Ryan and activating it, Ryan's body will split into two separate people! Not only will Dark Ryan be at half strength, but we will have us four plus Ryan's good half to fight him with!"
Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay stared at Omi with clueless faces.
"Say what?" said Kimiko.
"He's still full of the Fountain of Hui" sighed Raimundo as he watched Omi continue talk his head off.
"I'm on it…" sighed Clay as he got out the Orb of Tornarmi, "Orb of Tornarmi!"
A blast of water hit Omi, sending him sliding across the vault floor.
"Hey! What was that for?" complained Omi as he got up from the floor.
"Can you tell us your plan again?" said Kimiko "In English?"
"Okay! Okay! Please be getting down from my back!" said Omi as he shook the water from his clothes.
"Come on Omi!" said Kimiko "We need to know about that plan! And say it in way that we can understand it!"
"Okay, we all know that the Ring of the Nine Dragons can split you up"
"Yes" said Clay as he sat back down.
"And we know that the Ying Yo-Yo and the Yang Yo-Yo can split people's chi"
"Okay…" said Raimundo as he sat down next to Clay.
"So, by combining the Yo-yos and the ring, we can separate Ryan from his dark side!"
"Hmm…" thought Raimundo "It could work…"
"That is what you think…" said Omi "Kimiko? What do you think?"
"That is the best plan ever!" said Kimiko as she hugged Omi "Well done you clever little monk!"
"Thank you, Kimiko" said Omi as he managed to get out of Kimiko's grasp, "As usual, I have formulated the perfect plan!"
"Well whatever…" sighed Raimundo as he got up and walked out of the vault, "Master Fung said that he was going to do his advanced training sessions today anyway so we can't go now"
They all stepped out of the vault and headed towards the training grounds.
"Young monks!" called Master Fung "It is time for your advanced training"
Omi sped off at top speed, followed by Raimundo and Clay, leaving Kimiko walking by herself. She sighed as she looked up into the sky. After their new training, they will head out to Chase's lair again, beat Chase, get Ryan back and everything will be back to normal.
"Hey Kimiko!" called Omi "Come on!"
Kimiko jumped slightly as she came back to reality, she quickened her pace,
"I'm coming Omi!" called Kimiko "I'm coming…"
"Young monks, your training awaits…" said Master Fung. The monks gasped as they entered the training grounds. The grounds have been completely transformed into a humongous obstacle course. There were tall, thin walkways and platforms suspended over burning flames, a deep, dark canyon filled with pits and traps, an underwater labyrinth with more traps and an obstacle course filled with giant fans that blew winds that rivalled a hurricane.
"What the hell?" gasped Kimiko as she looked at the new training grounds, "I thought we were training ourselves, not killing ourselves!"
"I've seen mad bulls that were safer!" gasped Clay as he looked down into the canyon.
"In order to combat our new foe" said Master Fung as he walked between each of the four extremely dangerous obstacle courses, "I have constructed theses challenges; each one will test your strength and endurance to the extremes"
"Let me guess…" said Raimundo "You got this training course from Master Monk Guan…"
"Yes, he and Chucky were here only minuets ago" said Dojo.
"Are you saying that these will help us fight Ryan and Chase?" said Omi.
"Yes, what you see before you is the same level of peril that you will face when you go against Ryan and Chase"
The monks gulped as Master Fung pushed a button on a nearby wall, suddenly the platforms that were above the fiery pit began to move around, the fans began to blow harder and the water in the underwater maze began to swirl around.
"You may not use Shen Gong Wu, Wudai weapons or elemental Wu to help you" said Master Fung.
"So much for that…" sighed Raimundo as he removed the Crest of Condor from his pocket.
"Monks, take your positions!" said Dojo.
The monks stood at the starting lines of each of their challenges. Kimiko got the fiery pit, Raimundo got the passageway with giant fans, Clay got the canyon and Omi got the underwater maze. Master Fung and Dojo however, were safely out the way on a raised platform that overlooked each of the challenges.
"Your task is pass through the obstacle course and reach the other side"
"Boy, I've never seen them so tense!" said Dojo as he looked at the monks; Kimiko was sweating like mad, probably not because of the fire. Raimundo panicked slightly as he tried to think of a way he could fight the strong winds, Clay gave a worried face as he stared into the gloomy canyon. Omi on the other hand was very calm, doing his pre-training excises.
"Dear god…"thought Kimiko as climbed up onto one of the tall platforms "How the hell did I end up doing this? Okay, calm down…Remember; this is for Ryan's sake…"
"I am a brave and noble Xiaolin Dragon!" thought Omi as he stepped towards the underwater maze, "There is no challenge that I can't over come!"
"Okay, easy does it…" thought Clay as he descended into the canyon, "Just take it one step at a time…"
"Okay, I can do this!" thought Raimundo as he walked into the entrance of the obstacle course "Remember, this is for Kimiko's sake…"
"Ready monks?"
"Ready!" called the four of them together, "Gong Yi Tampi!"
Kimiko took a running jump; she flew through the air and landed on another platform. The platform shook under her weight, making her lose her balance slightly. She looked down into the burning pit; the flames licked at the platform supports. If she took one false step or if the platform gave way, she would be cooked. She jumped down to a lower platform, this one was smaller and it shook more than the first one. She felt the heat burn at her feet and legs as she felt the platform heat up beneath her. She then skilfully leapt onto another platform; she heard the platform groan as it tilted slightly, almost tipping her into the fire.
"Whoa!" gasped Kimiko as she froze, the platform shook some more, she thought that it was going to give way, but it didn't.
"Whew…" sighed Kimiko "That was a close one!"
The platform suddenly split into two, sending Kimiko falling towards the flames. In a split second she reached out towards one of the two parts of the platform and by pure luck, she managed to grab the part that wasn't falling towards the fire. She gasped as she looked down into the pit and saw the other part of the platform burn below her.
"Damn it!" cried Kimiko as she tried to pull herself back up onto the platform. She managed to climb back up when she smelt the smell of burning rubber. She looked down and saw that her shoes have caught fire.
"Oww" groaned Kimiko as she beat out the flames, "Those were my best shoes…I hope the others are having better luck than me…"
