I don't own Xiaolin Showdown, as I already said. I wrote this after one review. Thanks to SpringFairy12 for my first review!

"Did you get the Shen Gon Wu?" asked Master Fung desperately when they arrived at the temple.
"No, Master," replied Omi sadly. "But it's not the end of the world, right?"
"Whichone was it?"
"The Beanstar," replied Dojo.
"Then it is the end of the world!"
"But, before that," said Raimundo, breaking the silence. "Maybe you could look at Joe?" The Dragon of Thunder was lying with his eyes closed on Dojo's back.
"Oh dear, what happened?" asked Master Fung.
"He was fighting Hannibal who, using the Moby Morpher, turned into Kimiko, and then burned him real bad," said Clay. Master Fung carried him to the Medical Room.
"Well, time for me to check the scrolls," sighed Dojo. He went towards the main part of the temple. Omi, Raimundo and Clay looked at each other.
"Hey, where's Kimiko?" asked Clay, scratching his head.
"Will he be okay, Master Fung?" the young Japanese girl asked. The old monk looked at the boy lying on the bed.
"His rib cage has been burned through," he replied. "If Chase Young had not interfered, Hannibal would have reached his heart and killed him."
"Oh my God!" the girl cried, and sat down suddenly. "Can you help him?"
"Not unless the Heart of Light reveals itself. Using its powers, I could repair his ribcage and revive him, but it is the only way." He left the room as Kimiko began sobbing.
"I am most troubled by Kimko's behaviour," said Omi at breakfast the next day. "She has not left the Medical Room since we got back."
"What's wrong with that, partner?" asked Clay.
"Why is she so concerned?"
"Didn't you know?" the cowboy replied. "She's in love with him."
"WHAT!" The table wobbled when Raimundo stood up. "What are you talking about?"
"Why am I the only person who knows?" muttered Clay.
"Stop everything!" cried Dojo, appearing suddenly. "The Heart of Light has revealed itself!"
"We must retrieve this Shen Gon Wu!" shouted Omi, leaping onto the table. "Hm... the table is rather soft…"
"Omi! That's my fried egg!" the Dragon of Earth yelled. "Why can't you lot stay out of my breakfast!"
Half an hour later they were flying over London.
"Ah yes, it's somewhere around there," said Dojo, pointing at Big Ben.
"According to the 'Ancient Guide to Females'," said Omi, flicking through the pages. "Kimiko will be happier if we help her… 'boyfriend'. Turn to page three hundred and seven."
"Good thing Kim's not here," whispered Raimundo to Clay. "Or Omi would be one dead monk."
"Ah! A 'boyfriend' is a boy that a girl feels strongly about, i.e. 'loves'. The world is full of strange ideas," Omi said, scratching his head in confusion.
"There's the Heart!" cried Dojo. The monks saw a small figure moving towards it.
"Oh no! We must get this Shen Gon Wu before Hannibal does!" Omi shouted. Raimundo stood up on Dojo's back.
"Wudai Star, WIND!" he called. A gust of wind swept the Heart into the air and back to Raimundo.
"Come on! We must return to the temple, before it's too early!" the Dragon of Water told Dojo.
"You mean late, right?"
"Master Fung! We got the Heart!" cried Omi. He ran towards the Medical Room, the other three following.
"Omi! Give Kimko the Heart!" said Master Fung. The girl grabbed the Wu.
"Heart of Light!" she shouted, and pushed it against Joe's body. As they watched, his ribs healed and the wounds closed. After a minute, there was no evidence they'd even existed. The boy sat up with a gasp.
"DAMMIT!" he shouted.
"What in tarnation?" Clay said.
"I lost the damn Wu to a bean!" the boy raged. "A BEAN!" He jumped out of his bed and disappeared.
"Now, young monks, we must remember that Hannibal does indeed have the Beanstar. You must retrieve it before he activates it, fulfilling his heart's desire." He was interrupted by a grunt from outside. They left the room and found Joe attacking some dummies.
"Stupid bean taking the stupid Wu. If I'd hit him again I could have won."
"I'm thinking it's best to leave him alone now," muttered Raimundo, and all of them except Kimiko entered the temple. She sat down on a nearby bench as Joe ripped through the dummies.
"Lightning Storm, Thunder!" he shouted. A group of dummies were blown apart by electricity.

Yeah, let's end Chapter 2 with some dummy-related violence. R&R.
