"Well, what might happen?" Clay wondered aloud.

"What is the opposite of going wherever you want?" Omi asked.

"Well don't forget the Serpent's Tail." Dojo added.

"Look, can we just forget about Raimundo and focus on Wuya?" Talking about Raimundo was making Kimiko shake, but she wasn't sure if it was from keeping anger in or tears. Or both.

After hesitating a moment, Omi nodded. As concerned as he was for Raimundo right now, Wuya was a great threat and it was his duty to stop her. Anyway, Raimundo could probably wait.

Clay got up. He figured Raimundo was as good as dead. There was no possible way any of them could find out where he went. For all they knew, he had vanished off the face of the earth. If only he knew . . . .

Dojo grew to his full size. "All aboard!"

"Wait!" Omi glanced at the shards of the Reversing Mirror. "It may be wise to take these. Maybe it can be fixed."

"I doubt it," Kimiko grumbled, but Clay knelt down, took off one of his gloves, and swept the shards into it. Then they all boarded Dojo and took off for the temple. The scenery never changed. The wasteland of darkness had covered the planet. When they arrived at the temple, Master Fung and the monks were waiting for them in the yard of dead grass. Master Fung did not need to ask what happened or why they where back.

"Dojo, you know where to go," he said briskly. Dojo looked very nervous, but he nodded.

"Master Fung, how do we defeat Wuya?" Omi asked.

"You and the others will remain here. This has gone too far for you to handle."

"But we're Xiaolin apprentices!" Kimiko protested.

"Even so, you are too young and inexperienced to fight Wuya. Please do as you are told."

"No!" Omi cried. "Please Master Fung, you will have a better chance if-"

But Clay clapped a hand over Omi's mouth. "We understand, Master Fung, sir. We'll stay."

Omi's eyes grew bigger than dinner plates. Kimiko's jaw dropped open. Master Fung nodded. "Thank you, Clay." He and the other monks got on Dojo and flew off.

Once they were out of sight, Kimiko started yelling at Clay. "WE UNDERSTAND? ARE YOU CRAZY? WE'RE JUST GOING TO STAND HERE AND WAIT FOR WUYA TO DESTROY EVERYTHING? IF YOU THINK I'M JUST-"

"Do you have any idea who you sound like?" Clay interrupted. "Raimundo shared your exact opinion the night of Mala Mala Jong. And when he ran off to fight, all he accomplished was revealing our location."

Kimiko was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth to say something else, but Clay spoke before she could say it. "Don't worry, I don't have any intention of just waiting here for the end of the world. We can try to come up with a sure way to take care of Wuya if Master Fung and the monks can't beat her."

Omi pushed Clay's hand away from his now smiling mouth. "Now you are speaking!"

"Talking?" Kimiko offered.

"That too!"

Kimiko smiled and nodded at Clay. "That sounds good to me too."

They went into the temple. Clay and Kimiko got out the ancient scroll of Shen-Gong-Wu and leafed through it to see if it had anything. Omi sat down on the floor and meditated. Five minutes later, Omi suddenly leaped to his feet yelling out "Ah ha!", scaring the crap out of Clay and Kimiko, who both jumped and dropped the scroll. Omi's face was bright with excitement. "The Heart of Jong! It brings inactive objects to life! What if we killed Wuya using it and the . . ." Then he remembered why Clay was only wearing one glove and his face fell. ". . .Reversing . . . Mirror."

He sighed. Kimiko patted his back. "It would have been a great idea if the Reversing Mirror wasn't broken."

Clay held the glove level to his eyes for a moment, then dumped the contents onto the table. "Maybe we can fix it."

Kimiko picked the scroll back up. "Maybe we can use a Shen-Gong-Wu to do it." While Kimiko looked, Omi and Clay worked on fitting the shards together. When they got a little more than half of the Reversing Mirror fragments in place, Kimiko found something.

"Here!" She spread the scroll on the table by the remains of the Reversing Mirror and pointed at the picture. "The Phoenix's Tear! Fixes broken bone, skin, glass, ceramics, and pretty much anything." In the picture, a figure was pointing a gem at its elbow, which was bent the wrong way. The gem glowed and shot out a beam of light at the elbow. In a moment the elbow went back to normal and the glowing stopped. The figure flexed the elbow's movement.

"Great! Now we've just gotta find it!" Clay exclaimed.

"But this is the Reversing Mirror." Omi pointed out. "What if the Phoenix's Tear only makes things worse?"

"The Reversing Mirror isn't active, remember?"

Omi started talking very fast. "Yes, but it was recently used so it still could be active, like when the Tiger Claws were used, and then the Serpent's Tail and the Reversing Mirror and who knows what happened to Raimundo? So if the Reversing Mirror is still active and we use the Phoenix's Tear, what if we only accomplish breaking what is left of the Reversing Mirror and the Phoenix's Tear . . . "

He paused to rub his temples. "Ohhhh, combining Shen-Gong-Wu has become most complicated since Raimundo vanished."

"Don't worry about it, Omi" Kimiko said. "Without Dojo, we could never find the Phoenix's Tear anyway. And even if we had him, what are the chances of it revealing itself right now?"

Then she frowned. "Or maybe we should worry about it. Wuya's going to rule the world pretty soon after all. Since we don't have anything else to do to help, why don't we look for it ourselves? And maybe while we're looking, a better idea will come to us."

Clay shrugged. "Why not?"

Omi nodded. "I am up with that!"

"It's down with that, Omi." Kimiko corrected.

Kimiko brought out one of her backpacks and a flat plastic container just a little bigger than the Reversing Mirror. They carefully transferred the sort-of fixed part of the Reversing Mirror into it, then fitted in the rest of the shards. It was still useless, but at least now it looked a bit like it did before. After packing the container into the backpack along with some other Shen-Gong-Wu, they grabbed some Shen-Gong-Wu that was used to fly, and went outside.

"Longi Kite!" Clay yelled.

"Jet Bootsu!" Kimiko shouted.

Clay picked up Omi, and they were off.
