This fanfic is based on my character Dav Spathi from Smurf Chan's fiction masterpiece 'The Time Has Come'. So enjoy, this is events that happened to Dav before to joined the other Xiaolin warriors in the fight against Chase Young.

Welcome To My Life- Simple Plan

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be ok!

Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like
What it's like!

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Dav Spathi's Song

Chapter 1: Hell, Fire and Brimstone

"Now young dragon we will learn the way of the 'flame arts'. It is a very complicated and lengthy technique but once you have mastered it, it will help you in your fight for the Shen Gong Wu"

"No offence Sensei but I already know how to use the 'flame arts'. Its the one thing my father taught me that is useful"

"How long have you known of this way of fighting?" asked the old monk in a surprised tone

"'Bout four years give or take, now about those Wu I have to find, where is the next one?"

"Patience young dragon, you will find the fabled Flame Sabre on top of Yutzee mountain where the feared Ying-Tow Ice Demon resides. However do not think just because you have an element advantage over your opponent that it will be an easy victory"

"Fire, Ice demon, mountain, sabre gotcha! I'm going, going, gone" The Young Warrior disappeared in a flash of intense crimson flames that lingered for a few seconds after he disappeared and then died away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A wall of fire appeared from the ground and the warrior appeared at the foot of a great mountain where a long trail stretched all the way to the peak of the mountain. A another young man wearing red robes and a hood approached the teen with a quarterstaff clutched in his left hand.

"Dav, your going up the mountain?"

"Sure am, apparently there's a demon guarding a Shen Gong Wu up there and its my job to get it. Piece of cake, anyway why are you here Rad?"

"To guard the entrance of the mountain my friend, so we are going to have to duel. Prepare yourself for combat!"

"Bring it!" yelled Dav as he took a silver rod from the side of his right leg and held above his head. The rod that was no longer than a pencil expanded, creating a five foot quarterstaff.

Rad was the first to strike as he spun his weapon above his head and brought it down to meet Dav's which was held in a defensive diagonal position. Dav used the quarterstaff as a pole vault and launched himself above Rad and landed behind him, sweeping his legs from under him with his staff. Rad responded by kicking Dav's leg and then connecting with a leg sweep with the other, causing Dav to hit the floor as well. Both fighters rolled away from their opponent and returned to their feet to continue their duel.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of five black clad figures stood around a rocky plain as one held a sword that curved at the end. The men were dressed as assassins and each held weapons which suggested as much.

"Listen Vipers, the boy is to journey up this mountain and retrieve a sword, but we are to stop him. Not only a boy, but a boy of untapped power the master said, what is more is that more of them exist around the world but we must worry only about this one"

The other Vipers nodded to their boss and advanced up the mountain.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wow, you've improved Rad"

"As have you"

Rad took a quarterstaff jab to the chest but he rolled to the side to avoid a second and counterattacked with a sweeping blow which caught Dav across the head. Dav and Rad clashed staffs and pushed with all their power to gain the upper hand and Rad over powered Dav and knocked him to floor. Not wasting time Dav leapt to his feet, knocked away his weapon and delivered a straight roundhouse kick to the stomach. Rad collapsed to one knee and grinned.

"Very well Dav, go on ahead and good luck against the demon" Rad said with a handshake.

Dav nodded to his guardian friend and started the long trek up the mountain using his quarterstaff as a walking stick. He walked for what seemed half an hour without an end to the trail in sight. As he continued up the path a figure in black clothing leapt from the trees lining the track and took a knife from inside his robes. Dav still didn't notice as the assassin with great speed and guile crept up on him and brought the knife upwards to strike. Dav turned just in time to see the deadly blade thrust down toward his head so he rose his arm to protect himself and the knife penetrated his arm's flesh and drew crimson blood.

Acting on instinct and adrenaline Dav used his uninjured arm to land a powerful punch to the gut that made the assassin stagger. The assassin however recovered quickly and went for a second strike, this time to the chest which barely missed its target and Dav stumbled backwards and hit the floor. His chest tightened with fear and sweat began to show on his forehead as the assassin drew in for the next and possibly last strike. He closed his eyes as the silver blade shot for his heart as the assassin went for the instant kill but something unexpected happened.

Dav's eyes shot open and his once blue pupils were now fire red with flames shining in his eyes and around his eyes.

"NO!"

Dav extended his good arm and his hand which was now engulfed with fire. A huge, column of fire erupted from the palm of his hand and engulfed his stunned attacker. The once alive assassin slammed into the ground, a smell of seared flesh lingered strongly in the air from the charred corpse. The flame from his hand and the glint in his eyes disappeared, his wounded arm still slowly dripping blood. He started to breathe heavily and then his eyes grew too heavy to stay open and then he blacked out with the burnt remains of the killer at the other side of the mountain trail, all the while the horrific smell lingered.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The intense Brazilian sun beat down on Mt. Yutzee as Dav, the young Xiaolin Dragon Warrior of Fire began to stir. He sat up rubbing his aching head as he noticed the ever present corpse that was burnt beyond recognition. His stomach turned and he felt the urge to throw up from the sheer sight of the horrible charred body and the equally as unbearable stench. He averted his gaze to his Quarterstaff which he discarded when the assassin first struck, hw went to pick it up when he felt a sharp throbbing in his arm, the wound that the attacker had made had eventually stopped bleeding but it was still exposed and hurting like hell.

He ripped the sleeve off the injured arm and tied it tightly to the wound, applying as much pressure as he could all the while asking in the back of his mind how he did what he did. He decided to not think about it and tell his Master everything when, if he returned. Picking up the quarterstaff with his good arm he resumed his trek up the mountainside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The boy lives Python, and he is heading this way. What shall we do?" said one assassin to the leader Python.

"Find out what happened to the Viper that attacked him and let him journey to get the prize he seeks, when he is victorious and off guard we shall strike and extinguish him, permanently" The leader said to his men as they watched the warrior of fire from a hidden canopy in the tree tops.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"At last, the top of the mountain" Dav panted as he flung the Quarterstaff aside and rested against a large rock to rest. The sun soon set as he drifted off into a light sleep unaware of the danger that lurked in the Mountain Temple, the ice demon god Ying-Tow or known to the locals as 'Malficet'.

We woke up the next morning and noticed that the temperature had dropped significantly and there was ice and snow of all things coating much of the volcanic ground around him. Shivering he stood up and drew from their place on his lower back, his prized possessions the Twin Sabre C24 Handguns.

He walked slowly from his resting place to a large stone temple and it seemed to get colder as he drew closer, much colder. He entered the temple through a towering doorway into a central chamber that contained nothing but a pedestal with a long bladed sword with a fiery glint in its surface that Dav recognised from the legends, the Flame Sabre. Forgetting about anything else he sprinted forward and grasped the hilt of the sword, taking a few practise swings with it.

"This is great, better than the legend says, hey what the..."

Before he could finish four assassins appeared into the chamber, as if from no where and drew their respective weapons, each wielding a long, curved very sharp sword.

"So, you are you boy who is to be assassinated, such a young man too but still orders are orders. I don't what you did to the Viper Assassin who tried to get rid of you before but it won't happen again, I assure you. Kill him and make it quick" instructed the head Viper who with his men advanced on Dav.

He could barely defeat one, so how is he going to manage against four? That's what whirled around inside his head as they approached. Suddenly a ferocious icy blizzard swept through the temple and chilled Dav to the bone who raised his good arm to protect his face. As he lowered it again everyone of the assassins were encased in a tomb of solid ice, not looking like they were ever going to move or breathe again. One of the blocks smashed as a huge clawed arm cut through the ice like a hot knife through butter, the ice and person trapped inside shattered, scattering ice and bits of body everywhere. The others followed suit as the arm destroyed them one by one and then the demon emerged from the shadows, towering above Dav with snow white skin, four gigantic clawed arms and a hideous head. It noticed Dav and drew in a huge amount of air and then exhaled, sending another icy blizzard surging toward the fire warrior.

"Lets see if this thing works... FLAME SABRE"

A stream of flame expelled from the tip of the blade and spiralled around Dav's body to protect him from the blizzard. The demon bellowed in fury as it advanced, flailing it's clawed arms to catch its prey. Dav ducked to avoid a swipe and made a break for the monster itself which noticed his approach and attacked again. A large arm slammed into his side, sending him across the chamber and slamming into the wall opposite.

"Better change strategy" he thought to himself as tried to remember past training sessions with his master.

"Do not be hasty in making an attack, sometimes the best offence is defence, especially when faced with difficult odds"

Returning to his feet he clutched the Flame Sabre in both hands and took a defensive stance anticipating his enemies attack. It once again flailed its arms to attack Dav but this time he rolled out of harms way and activated the Wu again.

"Flame Sabre"

Flames from the edge of the blade flew towards the ice demon and collided with it's face, it released a thunderous cry and began to throw large ice stalagmites towards Dav who ran the perimeter of the room to avoid the ice projectiles of death that smashed into small pieces as they hit the wall. Dav looked at his blade and then an idea struck him, his fists burst into flame and they surrounded his body, Flame Arts. He combined the sheer power of the Flame Arts technique with the Flame Sabre to create a massively powerful attack.

"Flame Arts, Flame Sabre... Inferno Strike!"

After shouting he leapt as high as he could into the air and then executed a forward flip in the air which caused huge fiery shockwaves to pulse toward Ying-Tow and connect with it's massive snow white form. To finish his attack Dav plummeted back toward the ground and landed with such force that the stone under his feet cracked and his feet dug into the solid earth, a wall of intense flame shot toward Ying-Tow and collided with the demon and it unleashed its full force. Exploding, causing a massive shell of fire to rise up from Ying-Tow and destroy not only the Ice Demon but the entire derelict temple as well.

Dav picked himself up from the scorched earth and looked around at his handy work. He grinned, attached the Flame Sabre to his back and headed back down the trail to tell his master about the eventful trip, to his home.
