Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child
52: Forgotten Feelings
The blinding light died down, and when Ryan got his sight back, he looked around to try and recognise which memory he was in. He was in a dark corridor, moonlight shone from a window. He walked up to the window and looked out, in the distance was mountains covered in mist.
"Where the hell am I?" said Ryan to himself.
"Hello?" said a voice from behind him. He turned around and saw Kimiko walking towards him.
"Kimiko?" said Ryan "Where are we?"
Kimiko looked at him; her face had a combination of fear and confusion.
"Don't you remember?" said Kimiko as she cautiously moved around Ryan, "This is the temple"
"Hmm…" said Ryan "It seems we inside the wrong memory"
"If this is my memory, then where is Chase?" said Kimiko.
"He is probably in someone else's memory" said Ryan. He sighed as he walked past Kimiko. She moved back, expecting Ryan to do something to her, but he didn't, he just continued through the temple. After a while, Kimiko decided to go after him.
"Err…Ryan?" said Kimiko, walking behind him, but staying out of his reach just in case he tried to kill her again, "Why didn't you kill me?"
Ryan stopped in his tracks and looked over at her.
"I don't know…" said Ryan "Something stopped me…But don't think I'll will go soft on you next time!"
He walked on, leaving Kimiko slightly shaken.
"Something stopped him…" she sighed as she watched Ryan turn the corner.
"Hey Kimiko" called Ryan from ahead, "If it's your memory, which one is it?"
Kimiko walked over to Ryan who was looking around the temple grounds.
"Err…I don't know" said Kimiko.
"That was…Amazing…" said a voice, coming from the dormitory, "You're a really good kisser…"
"Did you say something?" said Ryan.
"No" said Kimiko as she looked towards the dormitory, "It came from in there"
"I know I am…" said another voice from the dormitory.
"Hey!" said Ryan "That voice…That was me"
Ryan and Kimiko walked to the dormitory and looked in, each room was quiet, but there was noise coming from the fifth room at the end.
"Okay…" said Ryan as he looked at Kimiko, "I'm starting to remember…That was my room, right?"
"Yeah" said Kimiko as she and Ryan moved closer to Ryan's room. Ryan placed a hand on the curtain and began to pull it back, but was stopped by Kimiko.
"Ryan! What are you doing?" whispered Kimiko. Ryan shook her hand off his.
"We're invisible to everyone in our memory" said Ryan as he pushed her out the way and pulled back the curtain to Ryan's room. They looked into the room, and right in front of them, saw themselves lying on Ryan's bed together. Ryan was lying on the bed with his arms around Kimiko; both of them were slightly out of breath.
"That us?" said a slightly shocked Ryan as he looked at Kimiko behind him. He then looked at the other Kimiko who was on the floor as she rolled over to the other Ryan; she kissed him on the cheek and rested her head on his neck.
"Ryan…You make me the happiest girl ever…" whispered Kimiko as she ran her hand over his chest.
"Yeah…" sighed Ryan as he put his other arm around her, she sighed as she snuggled into Ryan's warm embrace, "To think that we only known each other for a short amount of time…"
"Yeah…I wonder what the future will have in stall for us"
"We could always use the Crystal Glasses?"
Kimiko thought about that for a moment, she smiled as she felt Ryan's hands move through her hair.
"Nah…Let's let the future surprise us"
Ryan yawned as he looked at the clock, 11:47.
"Well Kimiko…Looks like you have successfully exhausted me…" yawned Ryan as his eyes began to close. Kimiko looked up at Ryan, her blue eyes looking into his.
"Night Ryan…I love you…"
"Night Kimiko…" whispered Ryan as he gave her one last passionate kiss, "I…love…you…zzzzz…"
Kimiko didn't react to him falling asleep, she was already fast asleep.
"That was one of the best moments of my life…" sighed Kimiko as she walked away from the room, "You really did make me the happiest girl ever, Ryan"
She looked over at Ryan, but he had disappeared.
"Ryan?" said Kimiko as she walked out of the dormitory. She saw Ryan was in the middle of the training grounds looking up at the moon.
"Ryan?" said Kimiko as she cautiously approached him, "Are you okay?"
She was about to walk towards him, when the scenery around them began to dissolve into black and white. Ryan turned around and looked at Kimiko, but his eyes were no longer filled with evil, more with sincerity.
"Kimiko…" said Ryan "I'm sorry…I'm sorry for everything that has happened"
"Okay…" said Kimiko raising an eyebrow, "First you're trying to kill me, now this…"
The black and white scenery then began to disappear into a bright light.
"Kimiko, we are going back to Chase's lair" said Ryan "Don't worry about me; I know what I must to do now…"
Kimiko was about to reply, but the intensity of the light increased, making Kimiko cower backwards shielding her eyes from the light.
Back in Chase's Lair…
"Hey Kimiko!" said Raimundo as he shook Kimiko's shoulder as she lay unconscious on the ground, "Yo! You in there?"
Kimiko gave a small groan as she slowly woke up.
"Oh!" sighed Omi with relief, "Thank Dashi's ghost! You are okay!"
There was another groaning noise from behind them, Omi, Clay and Raimundo turned around and saw that Ryan was waking up as well.
"Ugh…" groaned Ryan as he rubbed his head, "Shen gong wu should come with a health warning…"
"Ryan, you dirty snake!" growled Clay "You're not coming any closer!"
"Yeah, whatever…" said Ryan as he got to his feet and brushed dirt of his clothes. Omi, Clay and Raimundo were watching him with confused looks on their faces.
"What's up with Ryan?" said Raimundo.
"I don't know" said Kimiko as she got to her feet, "He changed when we saw my memory"
"Your memory?" said Omi.
"We accidentally went into my memory" said Kimiko as she looked over at Ryan who was walking towards Chase.
"So Ryan?" said Chase "You know what to do now…"
"Yes father" said Ryan as he grinned, Kimiko saw it wasn't Ryan's evil grin though.
"Now kill them!" said Chase "And join me at my side and together we will conquer the world!"
Ryan turned towards the monks and waved his hand, pillars of earth shot out of the ground, trapping the dragons in a cage. They tried everything to get out, but they couldn't even scratch the pillars. The all looked over at Ryan as he began to build up a large ball of electricity in his hands.
"Uh oh…" said Omi "Looks like this is it…"
"Never thought I'd go out like this…" sighed Clay.
"There is enough voltage in here to kill you all!" said Ryan as he aimed the ball at the monks. Ryan gave a small laugh as he began to countdown, "3…2…1…"
At the last moment, he spun around to face Chase.
"Thunder Ball! Lightning!" shouted Ryan. The ball of electricity flew from Ryan and shot right at Chase. Chase jumped out of the way just before the ball hit him, sending sparks flying everywhere.
"What?" gasped the monks.
"Bet you didn't see that coming!" said Ryan as he looked back at the monks.
"Ryan! How dare you defy me!" said Chase as he got to his feet.
"Thank you for reminding me who I am, Chase" said Ryan as he looked over at Kimiko, the pillars lowered back into the ground, setting them free.
"I am Ryan Young, the ultimate warrior!" said Ryan in a loud, pride voice "And the ultimate warrior doesn't take orders from anyone!"
"You mean?" said Kimiko as she moved towards Ryan.
"That's right Kimiko" said Ryan as he smiled at her, "I'm back, baby!"
Kimiko couldn't believe her ears; she had to pinch herself to check if she was asleep. She smiled as she felt like she was going to cry with happiness, a few tears escaped her eyes as she smiled back at him.
"You're double-crossing me?" said Chase.
"Damn right!" said Ryan. "That's what evil geniuses do…"
There was a brief silence as Chase looked at him.
"He he he…" chucked Chase.
"He's up to something" said Clay "Keep your guard up!"
"Ha ha ha!" laughed Chase "You forget that I have complete mind control over you!"
Chase continued to laugh as he pulled out the Shadow of Fear.
"Uh oh…I forgot about that" gasped Ryan.
Ryan is back on the Xiaolin side, but can they get out of Chase's lair in one piece? R&R everyone! Thank you, see you whenever!
