Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
49: This Time, Its Personal!
Raimundo, Clay and Omi dashed into the vault and began checking which Wu had been taken.
"Guys!" called Raimundo as he began looking through the drawers, "Check on the Ring of Nine Dragons, the Ying Yo-Yo and the Yang Yo-Yo!"
After a few moments, Omi came up from the deeper part of the vault, along with Clay.
"Well then?" said Raimundo "What's the news?"
"Both Yo-Yos are gone!" said Omi.
"Along with the ring, partner!" said Clay from behind him.
"Damn it!" yelled Raimundo as he punched the wall, "The Star Hanabi and the Two Ton Tunic is gone as well!"
"Who would only steal the items necessary to getting Ryan back?" said Omi.
"Maybe it was Chase?" said Clay "He needs Ryan to conquer the world"
"No…It wasn't Chase" said Raimundo "It wasn't anyone from the Heylin side"
"Then who?" said Omi. Raimundo thought for a moment and looked back at the others.
"Where's the Golden Tiger Claws?" demanded Raimundo.
"Dojo lost them…" groaned Omi.
"Damn!" said Raimudo "Okay then, what's the fastest transport Wu that we have?"
"Either the Shen-Ga-Roo or the Crouching Cougar" said Clay.
"Okay then!" said Raimundo as he grabbed the Shen-Ga-Roo and the Sword of the Storm, "Grab some Wu! We're going to follow the Silver Manta Ray!"
"How?" said Clay as he got the Third Arm Sash out, "The Silver Manta Ray would be over the hill and far away by now"
"I have a pretty good idea where it could have gone" said Raimundo as he ran out of the vault.
"Wait for me!" called Omi as he ran after him, stuffing the Orb of Tornami in his pocket.
Just outside Chase's Lair…
The Silver Manta Ray flew down through the black clouds, towards Chase's lair. It did one lap around the volcanic summit to check for whether there was anyone guarding the front door, but there was no one there.
"Hmm…No one's guarding the entrance…All clear…"
The Silver Manta Ray landed softly on the cliff side, not knowing that a dark figure was watching it land from the shadows.
"Hmm…" thought the figure, "We've been expecting you…Kimiko"
The cockpit of the Silver Manta Ray opened, revealing Kimiko in the pilot seat. She climbed out of cockpit and looked up at the giant, evil face that was carved in the mountain side. There was a rumbling noise as the front door rumbled open, revealing the deep, dark passageways of Chase's lair.
"I can no longer wait…" said Kimiko as she gritted her teeth, "I want Ryan back, and I want him back now!"
Kimiko squinted as she moved around the dimly lit passageways. The door behind her began to rumble as it closed, making Kimiko jump. Once the door behind her closed, the torches around her suddenly lit up, bathing the whole area in light. Kimiko looked on ahead and watched as the rest of the torches light up, revealing more of the corridor. She slowly began walking down the corridor, keeping her ears and eyes open for anything or anyone that may be spying on her. She began to pick up the pace as she got deeper into the lair, she couldn't see or hear anyone, but she could feel that someone was watching her from the shadows. After a minute of walking around aimlessly, she eventually came to a big black door that was open slightly. She carefully crept up to the door and peeked in, she couldn't see who was in there because the room was quite dark, but she heard voices coming from the darkness.
"So what will happen after Ryan has past all of his tests and training?" said a dark female voice.
"We will begin the next phase of my ultimate plan" said a dark male voice "I will unleash a massive wave of evil on the world, fifty times stronger than Ryan"
"Fifty times stronger!" gasped Kimiko quietly.
"Once the Xiaolin Monks are out the way, the wave of evil will crush anything or anyone who will get in our way!" said the male voice "After 1500 years, the Great Heylin War will return…"
"Where are we going to conquer first?" said the female voice.
"Hmm…I was thinking we would conquer China first, and then we move on to crush Japan!" said the male voice.
"Japan!" gasped Kimiko as he moved away from the door, "Japan will be crushed?"
She was about to move towards the door again, when she saw in the corner of her eye a black blur move quickly behind her. She turned around; balls of fire burning around her hands lighting up the corridor, but it was empty. Her heart began to race as she noticed something moving in the shadows, and began to move backwards down the corridor, keeping her eyes on the spot where she saw the movement. Then from nowhere, a silvery streak shot out of the darkness and headed straight for Kimiko. Within a split second of noticing it, Kimiko yelled at the top of her voice, "Two Ton Tunic!"
There was a loud clang as the metal blade struck Kimiko's now rock hard armour. But the force of the impact had knocked her over, and before she was able to get back on her feet, the person that had attacked her had vanished back into the shadows. Her breathing was heavy and her pulse was beating even faster as she got to her feet and looked around. She knew that the person who attacked her was still around here and was watching her every move. Just as she was about to move on forward, a voice spoke out behind her,
"Very clever, Kimiko"
She immediately spun around on the spot, only to have her head meet with someone's fist. There was a loud thud as her body fell limp on the floor, her head screaming with pain.
"Very clever indeed…But the defeat of the Xiaolin Monks is inevitable…"
The voice echoed in her head as she slowly slipped into unconsciousness.
"Damn…it…" groaned Kimiko with the last of her energy, "Not…again…"
After saying that, her neck gave way, letting her head fall to the floor. Before she became completely unconscious, an evil laugh echoed in her ears as her vision grew dark and then blacked out completely.
"So who did you capture?"
"I captured Kimiko; there was no sign of the others though"
"Well done Ryan, did you remove any weapons from her?"
"Yes father, she had the Two Ton Tunic, the Ying Yo-Yo, the Yang Yo-Yo, the Silver Manta Ray and the Ring of the Nine Dragons"
"Okay then, now what shall we do with her?"
"It won't be long before the others turn up for her, we will just keep her for bait"
"Very well, we will wait in the main hall for them, leave Katnappè to guard her"
"Okay…Katnappè?"
"Yes, Ryan?"
"Keep an eye on her"
"Anything for you, Ryan"
"Whatever…"
Kimiko groaned as those voices echoed around her head. She was still dazed, so she couldn't tell who was talking, or whether there were people there at all, she could have just been hearing things. Her head was still throbbing with pain from when she was knocked out, but her vision was slowly coming back to her. She looked around the room she was in, she saw lying on her back in the same room that she was imprisoned in last time she was captured. The feeling returned to her arms and legs, and slowly she got up to her feet. She looked around the dimly lit room.
"Captured…Again…" sighed Kimiko.
"Well, Well, Well…" said a voice from behind her, "I see you have woken up from you catnap"
Kimiko turned around, and looked at the person who was behind her. Her hands flared up when she saw who it was.
"Katnappè!" she growled as Katnappè walked towards her, grinning at her.
R&R! See you whenever!
