A Xiaolin Showdown Story

Maxine Spicer's Xiaolin Adventure's

Chapter 14

The Last Temptation of Raimundo


~Normal POV~

The evening moon had risen in the sky as the sun set over the mountains. There was still some light in the sky as the Xiaolin monks were working on a new meditation garden. Master Fung was pleased with the spot. Everyone was working hard, but Rai had other plans in mind to get the work done faster. He put on the Jetbootsu, took the Orb of Tornomi from Omi, activated it and flew out of control. He was wiggling around in a way that was similar to a cartoon character holding an out of control garden hose. Rai ended up flying into all his friends who flew in the air landing on top of Mater Fung. Rai stood up saying the Orb was defected but Kimiko argued back and Omi had doubts of Raimundo's middle name being discipline as he said it was. Just then, Dojo pointed to a flying comet in the sky. Rai thought it was no big deal but Master Fung mentioned to never judge things by how they look.

Taking out the Falcon's Eye Master Fung got a good look at the comet; which unfortunately wasn't anything good. The comet was the rare and evil Heylin comet that would continue to fly through the sky for three whole days. Until it passed no Shen Gong Wu was to be used. Then Rai made a comet about how they'd have to do their chores without the help of Wu.


At the Spicer Residence, Jack was looking through his giant telescope. Similar to one seen at an observatory. Wuya explained to Jack about the comet. With it flying through the sky the monks would be tempted to use their Wu. If any of them did there would be dire and most evil consequences. Jack wanted to know if they could use their Wu but Wuya made it clear that no Shen Gong Wu should be touched.

"Even the Monkey Staff?" Jack asked with plea.

"Especially the Monkey Staff!" Wuya told him.

"Being evil is all so complicated." Jack complained looking through the telescope again.

Wuya phased through the telescope going straight at Jack while explaining how the Shen Gong Wu would develop a mind of their own during the comet's presence. She phased through Jack freaking him out going on about how the pair should take advantage of this opportunity to help evil along.


Back on the temple grounds Master Fung reminded the monks about not using any Wu for three days. Till the comet passed there was no telling what could happen when using it. Then Omi began bragging.

"I know I speak for everyone when I say you have my word." He began. "In fact, there is no better test of our willpower and bare hands we can accomplish anything."

"I'm glad you feel that way. For our natural garden would feel more natural if the rocks and stream were over there." Master Fung said.

Shock came from everyone followed by anger and annoyance. Unlike Omi who game a big smile and a thumbs up. He was slightly embarrassed but didn't show it.


Back at Jack's house, the time had come to enact Wuya's plan to test the monk's willpower over the Shen Gong Wu. She flew up to Jack and told him to fire the laser; however, Jack was fast asleep at the controls. Wuya called his name a couple times waking him up with a scream. He complained to Wuya about when he saw her face it was like coming out of a nightmare and going into one. Her response was to shut up and fire the laser. She'd do it herself if she had any hands. With the push of a button and the right angle trajectory Jack fired a bright green laser into space. Striking the Heylin Comet, knocking a piece of it down to Earth.

It flew at a speed equal to that of a jet plane and rocket towards a mountain. Upon impact a massive volcano was triggered releasing a blast of light that shot up into the sky and lava that was heading straight was a local town.


At the temple, Rai was walking to his room exhausted from working on the new meditation garden.

"I'd like to meet the dude who said hard work was good for you. I'd pop him on the nose." He said crashing into a large pillow. "That is if I can raise my arms." Sitting up Rai was browsing on his phone when he got an alert about a volcano in his hometown of Brazil.

Quickly, he rushed to wake the others to help him save his home, but they were out cold from exhaustion. Left with no other choice Rai went to the vault, grabbed the Golden Tiger Claws and Sword of the Storm, and went to save his hometown. Thanks to the Golden Tiger Claw Rai landed in Brazil to witness the lava coming down at full speed while on the other side of a river was everyone cowering in fear. Rai had to act fast. He took the Sword of the Storm summoning its power to create a wind tornado that lifted up the water from a flowing river. The water was mixed with the wind tornado that Raimundo controlled. He sent the water-nado towards the lava creating this wall that moved the lava in another direction. The people cheered and praised Raimundo for saving them. In honor of his heroic deed a celebration was held.

Raimundo didn't return to the temple until dawn the next day. He landed in the vault, tired but feeling good as he went to put away the Wu. He was about to put away the Sword of the Storm when he began to glow and the ribbon wrapped tightly around his arm.

"That's weird." Rai said.

He tried pushing the sword off and luckily he got it off; unfortunately, the Golden Tiger Claws weren't coming off as easy. No matter how hard Rai tried the Wu would not remove itself from his right hand.

"Maybe we can talk this over?" He said to the Wu which glowed, shook and acted off on there on. They teleported Rai into his bedroom.

"What do you want? Help! Help!" Rai was silenced by the claws. He was now a prisoner of the Golden Tiger Claws.


Outside, the monks were working hard on the garden doing various jobs. Raimundo joined them wearing a glove over his right hand. He wanted to keep the claws a secret but it didn't last long. He was caught with the evidence stuck on his hand. He tried explaining what happened with the volcano and his hometown but nobody would believe him. Well Maxine thought he was telling the truth and so did Omi. about the can't control the Wu part.

Suddenly, its a game of cat and mouse. Rai was being teleported around the yard while the monks chased him. Had Clay not roped his ankle they never would have gotten hold of Rai. He claimed the Wu had a mind of its own and he couldn't control it. Clay quickly wrapped his hand up with rope.

"We will need to keep a careful watch on our rebellious monk. As his self control is no longer in control." Said Master Fung.

"Uh when was it ever in control?" Said Kimiko.

"Come on Kimiko give the guy a break." Said Maxine.

"We must not allow him near anymore Shen Gong Wu. Until the comet has passed." Master Fung spoke while looking up at the sky as the comet was passing by overhead.


It was decided that Rai would be watched overnight to ensure he couldn't get into the vault. For his own safety he was tied up and kept in his room. Omi and Maxine would take first watch. Kimiko and Clay would take the next tomorrow night. While Rai tried to sleep Omi poked his face waking him up.

"I was just making sure you are asleep." Omi said happily.

"Omi, how's he suppose to sleep if you keep waking him every few seconds?" Maxine said.

"Then how will I know?" He asked her.

"You'll know its not hard to miss." She replied sitting besides Rai while Omi sat on Rai.

The pair looked out the window. Seeing the comet fly by through the sky.

"Hard to believe a comet could bring so much misfortune to magical objects. Sure I've learned about asteroids and comets in Science class but nothing like this. Its unlike anything I've ever studied. All this talk about magic and Shen Gong Wu and Showdowns. Sometimes I find it hard to believe this is my life now." Maxine told Omi.

"It is true, the life of a Xiaolin monk is no laughing matter. We do everything we can to ensure the forces of evil do not get their hands on Shen Gong Wu and use them for evil. Do you have any regrets Maxine?" Omi asked her.

Maxine thought for a moment then gave a reply. "Honestly, this was the best thing to happen to me. I may not be an apprentice yet and I don't have any special powers but I'm glad to help you guys anyway I can."

The two shared a smile then got comfortable. It was going to be a long night watching Raimundo or so they thought. The pair fell asleep a short while later giving the claws a chance to cut the ropes, make sure the coast was clear before teleporting Rai into the vault. Maxine and Omi were so tired they didn't even realize what was happening. In the vault, the claws guided Rai down the stairs. Opening a drawer the claws grabbed and activated the Third Arm Sash which wrapped around Rai's body. He grew a muscular arm and chest. The Sash reached into another drawer to grab more Wu. That was when Raimundo began to wake up. He saw the Sash holding the Orb of Tornami so he fought back smashing the Shah into the pillar till the Sash dropped it.

Course that didn't stop the claws from putting the Helmet of Jong on top of Rais head. Rai goes toppling down the stairs, lands at the bottom and then begins punching at the Golden Tiger Claws. He starts screaming which alerts the monks who hurry out to the vault. Just as Rai comes out.

"Help I'm being Wu napped!" He cries.

"I warn you Shen Gong Wu you are no match for a Xiaolin warrior!" Omi said as he jumped to attack only to get thrown back. The Helmet of Jong's eyes glowed as it attacked with the Orb spraying Clay back. Kimiko and Maxine jumping in the air and began throwing punches at Rai's back. The Sash used the Orb again to push Kimiko back but Maxine kept fighting.

"Rai Ii don't wanna hurt you but you need to fight this." She said.

"I'm trying! This Wu is too strong!" He replied as the claws moved the helmet forward on his face. Changing Rai's face into an aggressive one.

Maxine jumped forward to fight some more but was washed away by the Orb's power.

Not far away Jack and Wuya saw the progress on Raimundo and the unconscious washed up monks. Wuya started going on about how Rai would lose his willpower allowing her to cease control over Rai's body to become a powerful being.


The following morning the monks were working in the garden. They felt bad about Rai but also annoyed with him. Had he not used the Wu in the first place this wouldn't have happened. Just then, Dojo flew down with an important news update.

"Hey kids news update. I did a little recon on Brazil and it turns out there was a lava flow. If it wasn't for a certain hero we all know one village would be toast." He explained.

"So Raimundo was telling the truth? Well that's a first." Kimiko said.

"I knew it, I knew he was telling the truth." Maxine said.

"I should have believed him." Said Omi.

"All of us cept Maxine should have little partner." Clay said.

"Yes but he needed a true friend and all he had was me." Omi said.

"And me, keep in mind I was on watch with you Omi." Maxine told him. *sigh* "I just hope we can find and help Raimundo before things get any worse."


Elsewhere, Raimundo was wandering the land, dragging the claw on the ground. He was exhausted but the Wu would not let him rest. Clearly the Wu wanted more and that's just what they were going to get. Jack popped up in his drill vehicle in front of Rai.

Wuya came floating out and spoke. "Raimundo, we have a present for you. Go ahead Jack."

"We're just going to give Raimundo the Glove of Jisaku? No fight, no deposit, nothing?" Questioned Jack.

"That's exactly what we're going to do, do it." Wuya told him.

"I don't get it." Said Jack.

"Super evil boy genius huh?"

"Hey who else would be smart enough to cheat on an IQ test?"

Using a pair of plyers, Jack moved the Glove of Jisaku towards Raimuno then crawled backwards away.

"No I can't!" Said Rai.

"Yes you can!"

"No, you can't make me!"

Rai was fighting against himself for control, and loosing.

"See, Raimundo's will is already growing weak." Wuya told Jack.

Rai was forced to walk towards the Wu then tripped by the Third Arm Sash that slid his body and arm right into the Glove. Growing his arm to match the other and his body grew twice as big making Jack sick to his stomach. He had to hold back the need to vomit.

"Rai wait!" Came Kimiko's voice. "You can't go with them!"

The monks came flying in after searching half the morning and afternoon for Raimundo. Dojo came flying down, landing, allowing for a better chance to confront Rai.

"Its fighting time right?" Asked Jack.

"Sit still silly boy." Wuya replied.

"Raimundo, we are sorry about all the things we said!" Said Omi.

"Yeah and we're sorry about not believing you about how you saved your hometown buddy." Said Clay walking towards Rai.

"Come on Rai, you've got to come back. We want to help you." Maxine said.

"Please come back to the temple so we can have you uh de-wu." Kimiko said.

"I. Can't! I'm trying!" Said Rai struggling to fight the Wu.

"Raimundo you may look strange on the outside, but I know inside you are a Xiaolin warrior." Omi explained holding a hand out for his friend.

"Thanks Omi." Rai said taking hold of Omi's hand.

Dojo flew the monks back too the temple while Jack started complaining to Wuya about the plan being a big flop and this was stupid. But Wuya replied saying this was going exactly as she had planned.


Back at the temple, the monks were in the dinning room having a nice meal.

"Raimundo, you are looking much better. Your inner warrior is having much self control over the Shen Gong Wu." Omi told Rai who looked in a daze.

He began to argue with himself, yelling, name calling then it stopped. The monks gathered around to talk about the current situation Raimundo was going through.

"Uh can we be perfectly Frankenstein with you?" Said Dojo to Omi.

"Yeah Rai doesn't look too good. He looks patched together." Said Clay.

"Not to mention huge freakish and scary." Said Kimiko.

"I hate to admit it but even I'm getting a little creeped out, and I watch horror movies." Maxine threw out.

"Remember ugly is only skin deep." Omi said. "Dojo is a hideous fire breathing dragon but we look past that."

"Ouch, cute innocent dragon caught in the dismast." Said Dojo.

The conversation was cut short when Rai jumped through the roof to the yard in front of the monks.

"We better keep an eye on him." Maxine said.

"Yeah at a safe distance." Kimiko said.

"Not to worry I hide all our Shen Gong Wu. He will have no way to find them even if he tried." Said Omi or so he thought.

Raimundo's hand began to shake then it raised itself in the air. Activating itself, summoning the hidden Shen Gong Wu.

"Oh no it is the Glove of Jisaku. It is attracting all the Wu I hide." Said Omi getting knocked into the air before falling on his bottom when the Monsoon Sandals flew past him. The Wu attached itself to Raimundo in various ways. Sort ofa merge to his body creating some strange Wu costume on his large body.

"We have to do something while there's still something of Rai left to save." Said Kimiko.

"Raimundo, remain calm we have everything under control." Said Omi getting knocked over by the Serpents Tail.

"Hold it right there you are going nowhere partner. Not without going through us first." Said Clay running in front of Rai.

Unfortunately, using the Serpents Tail and Longy Kite Rai flew through his friends taking off into the sky.

"Uh perhaps that was not the best choice of words?" Said Omi.


Eventually Raimundo landed in front of Jack's house. He stood in place looking empty and brainless. Wuya flew around his head, going on about her plan.

"It won't be long until I posses his body all to myself. Soon Ii will be the most powerful creature on Earth."

"Uh but I get to keep the Monkey Staff?" Asked Jack.

"I'll put this in a way you can understand. You can be my first loyal subject or the first boy genius I destroy." Wuya told Jack.

"I choose, loyal subject?" Jack replied holding the Monkey Staff out.


Back at the temple, everyone was looking up at the sky.

"The Heylin comet has at last past. It is now safe to use the Sheng Gong Wu to rescue Raimundo." Master Fung told the monks.

"Yeah what's left of them." Clay told him.

"But how can we stop him? He beat us before and he's only gotten stronger and grosser." Kimiko pointed out.

"Way to lay down the love Kimiko." Said Maxine.

"Remember it will be five against one." Said Omi.

"Wait a minute five?" Asked Clay.

"I still believe Raimundo will be fighting with us from inside." Said Omi.


Back at Jack's Wuya was observing Raimundo. Waiting for the moment when she could take over his body. Upon closer inspection looking deep in his eyes, Wuya saw her moment.

"The time has come. His body has lost all self-will. Say goodbye to Raimundo and hello to your Empress of Evil. (evil laugh)"

"Um once you become Raimundo are you a he or a she?" Jack asked getting Wuya upset. "I just want to get my pronouns straight."

"Not so fast! I demand that you release Raimundo at once!" Came Omi's voice.

Jack and Wuya turned to see Omi, Kimiko, Clay and Maxine standing before them in fighting stances.

"Jack stop them!" Said Wuya.

"My Jack-bots are in the shop for a tune up." Jack said trying to avoid doing anything he didn't want to.

"Oh you wimp!"

The monks came charging at the pair.

"Fine, I'll handle this myself!" She said entering Raimundo's head giving herself control over his body. "I'm afraid you are too late."

"Wuya?" Asked Maxine.

"In the Wu." She replied striking a pose.

"Wuya we challenge you to five way all or nothing cosmic class Xiaolin showdown for Raimundo!" Omi cried out.

"Um is that possible?" Asked Clay.

All heads turned to Dojo who was looking though the rule book.

"According to the official rule book you can be played for if your over one half Wu and look kind of freakish its on page one twenty one." Dojo replied angering Wuya.

"We wager the Tangled Web Comb, Lotus Twister, Lightning Locket and Fit of Tebugone against your Helmet of Jong, Third Arm Sash, Mantas Flip Coin and Longy Kite!"

"Agreed, the game is steal the Wu! Whoever steals all the Wu first wins!" Said Wuya.

"Let's go Xiaolin Showdown!" Omi cried out activating the showdown.


The Earth below everyone's feet began to shake and crack and rise into the air. A gust of strong wind blew over Jack and Maxine's house. Sucking it up, breaking it up into little pieces which upset Jack. The pieces flew around in the air like articles of dust or balloons floating through. The wind blew the pieces into a large globe of the Earth. Creating different landmarks from other countries. The monks landed on the ground in fighting stances. Magically changing into their showdown uniforms, standing face-to-face against Wuya, in Raimundo's body.

"Dojo will be the keeper of the Wu until all is done." Omi announced.

"Really?" Said a surprised Dojo. "I've never been part of a Showdown before."

"Just find a place where you won't get in the way partner." Said Clay.

Dojo grew large and flew over to Hawaii.

"Gong Yi Tempi!" Everyone cried out.

Clay went first, using the Fist of Tebugone while Wuya used the Third Arm Sash. Both took off but the Sah gave Clay one good punch sending him flying into Big Ben's clock. One Wu in the bag for Wuya who tossed it towards Hawaii. Where Dojo was sipping a coconut then hit in the head with the Fist of Tebugone. Jack cheered Wuya on over at Easter Island.

Kimiko took jumped into action, landing right on the Great Wall of China. She summoned the Tangle Webbed Comb but her attack missed thanks Wuya's use of the Mantas Flip Coin. Jump tumbled through the air till she landed behind Kimiko. Grabbing Kimiko's hand with the Wu in her palm, Wuya lifted Kimiko in the air, took one big blow at her and Kimiko blew back crashing into a mini island.

"And now I have two." Said Wuya.

"Yes, you got this Wuya!" Jack cried out.

Omi went next against Wuya. He used the Lotus Twister to stretch out his arms and Wuya used the Third Arm Sash. Both the sash and Omi's arms stretched out towards each other. Both missing the other by that much. Just a couple inches. Wuya used the Mantas Flip Coin to get the jump on Omi. Who jumped over Omi who slid away from Wuya, but not before Wuya grabbed and pulled the Lotus Twister from his hand. Then she tossed him aside towards Clay.

"Careful Omi, we've only got one Wu left." Said Clay.

Kimiko and Maxine slid near the boys standing in fighting stance.

"What do we do now?" Maxine asked.

"She can see our every move. We must confuse her." Omi replied.

The four began attacking Wuya. Hit and knocking off as much Wu from Rai's body as they could. Tossing the Wu Dojo's way. The poor little dragon quivered in fear as Wu fell from the sky. Luckily, nothing landed on him but they came close. Wuya let out a scream, activated the Shroud of Shadows and started attacking everyone. Wuya took a couple good wacks at the monks. Knocking Omi, Clay, and Kimiko down for the count but not Maxine. She stayed down until Wuya turned visible. Then Maxine quickly got up, used the Lightning Locket to attack. Wuya avoided each attack with the Mantas Flip Coin. Maxine kept shooting lightning at her but Wuya continued to dodge until the two were facing one another.

"Face it child, you can't win against me. I've got a powerful body, plenty of Wu at my disposal, and what have you got? One simple Wu at your disposal. You are nothing like the others and you never will be." She told Maxine.

"Your wrong! I may not be on the same level as the others but they see me as one of them. I am part of the Xiaolin warriors and I will never give up." Maxine said with determination. Her hands balled up into fists.

"Do you really think you can stop me by yourself?" Wuya asked Maxine.

"Maybe not, but I'm going to try." A surge of electricity built up within her. She was serious about fighting Wuya, defending her friends and saving another. Even if no one else saw it.

Wuya laughed a loud saying Maxine was just a girl. A simple child who was just as disappointing as Jack. What made her so special? he stood no chance against someone as powerful as Wuya. Especially when she had no special power. That was the trigger. Maxine felt more of that electrical charge surge through her body.

"You think I'm a disappointment?" She said. "Then let me open your eyes!"

Maxine let out a loud scream, fists balled and charged with electricity as she ran straight at Wuya, jumped and gave the hardest, toughest punch at Wuya right in the chest. Sent that old witch flying backwards into the Eiffel Tower. Maxine landed on her feet taking a couple heavy breathes as she starred down at Wuya.

"Don't. Call. Me. A. Disappointment." She said in a deep threatening tone.

The others woke up in time to see Maxine glowing with an electrical current running round her hands while Wuya slowly recovered from the crash. It came as a shock for everyone. Not because of Wuya's current predicament but because of Maxine.

"I don't believe it. Maxine has gained her elemental power." Said Omi.

"And Wuya's getting back up." Said Kimiko pointing out the obvious.

"How can we stop the unstoppable?" Asked Clay.

"By relying on a friend whom we cannot see but I know is still there." Omi replied.

The three monks got into Dragon X Kuma Formation awakening their friend from within. Giving him the strength he needed to fight back for control of his body. Rai ripped off the Wu that had stuck itself to him. He ripped and pulled everything off until Wuya was rejected from his body. Ending the Showdown.


Jack and Maxine's house was reverted back to its original form and Raimundo returned to his normal form.

"Good to have you back." Said Omi.

"Sorry we ever doubted you." Said Kimiko.

"You sure had us worried for a spell." Said Clay.

"Nice job back there." Said Maxine.

"Hey usually I'm the one who messes up a xiaolin Showdown. Looks like the shoe is on a different foot. If you had a foot." Jack told Wuya earning himself a phase through the head by her knocking him out.


Soon the monks and Dojo returned to the temple where they sat down for a good meal. Everyone including Raimundo was glad to have him back to normal. Master Fung walked into the room with Dojo on his shoulder. Pleased that Rai had accepted his friends apologies for not believing him. Before Omi could speak Master Fung had something to give Maxine.

"Young monk, for your courage and dedication and for not giving up on yourself, I am pleased to present to you the sash of an apprentice." He spoke holding out a sash toward Maxine who looked speechless and surprised.

"Th-This is for me? I-I'm an apprentice now?"

"You are, I am proud of you. Not only did you stand up to Wuya but you also discovered your hidden elemental power. One that was hidden within you just waiting to come out. For those reasons you have proven yourself ready for the next level as a Xiaolin apprentice, congratulations."

Taking the belt from Master Fung Maxine starred at the belt before a huge smile came on her face. "Thank you Master Fung, thank you." "Check it out you guys, I did it!"

Everyone cheered for Maxine's accomplishment. Gathering in for a group hug.

"I am pleased that everything turned out alright in the end." Said Omi.

"And my parents are going to be pleased when I tell them the great news." Said Maxine.

And that's a wrap~!
