Me: Here's chapter 2! Hope you enjoy it!

Joe: Looks like I was unlucky. This chapter is even worse! If that's possible...

Me: Shut up, you! By the way, the song this time is Teenage Kicks. Enjoy!

Joe: They won't...

"Ah, Paris!" cried Dojo. "I remember now! I hid it on the Eiffel Tower!" He flew over the tower, allowing Joe to jump off. Joe took the small object from the top of the tower, but saw another hand on it.

"Joe Thunder, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown."

"Name your challenge, Chase," growled Joe.

"Race to the top of the tower. First to the top wins. My Sword of the Storm for your Eye of Dashi."

"Let's go!" shouted the two of them together. "Xiaolin Showdown!" They found themselves at the bottom of the tower. It rose high above the clouds. Dojo and the monks stood on a platform at the top.

"GON YI TAMPI!" The two started jumping up the bars sticking out of the tower.

"Eye of Dashi!" Chase was hit square in the chest and fell backwards. He grabbed a bar and swung back up again, gradually overtaking Joe. They made slow progress, always upwards. After they got about halfway up, music came as if from no-where.

"No, not now!" shouted Joe angrily. He carried on up, but found his mouth opening.

Xiaolin Showdown that's so hard to win
'Cos my resistance is wearing thin
Chase Young challenged me to a race
So I just gotta put on a brave face

I gotta fight, I gotta fight, oh yeah I gotta fight!
Even if I have to run through the night!

All right!

I'm gonna climb up the Eiffel Tower
To get the Wu with awesome power
I need to win it oh I need it bad
It's the best Wu that we've ever had


I gotta fight, I gotta fight, oh yeah I gotta fight!
Even if I have to run through the night!

All right!

I gotta fight, I gotta fight, oh yeah I gotta fight!
Even if I have to run through the night!

All right!

"These are your new tactics?" called Chase. While singing, Joe hadn't made any progress, and was far behind. He growled and climbed even faster, gaining on Chase.

"Sword of the Storm!" Joe found himself pried from the tower. He hovered in mid-air for a moment, Chase grinning down at him. Then he fell. It was far enough to fall off the Eiffel Tower normally, but now it was at least twenty times higher. He fell, and kept falling. The ground loomed ever closer. Kimiko gasped. Dojo cried silently. Raimundo covered his eyes and Clay took off his hat, holding it in front of him. Omi, however, shouted down.

"Instincts of the tiger, Joe! Instincts of the tiger!" Joe tore his eyes away from the rapidly growing ground, timed it carefully and grabbed a bar. He hung just ten feet from the ground. A second too late and he would've been dead. Chase Young laughed and took the Wu from the top of the tower.

"Now that was awful," said Joe as they flew away from France. "I mean, couldn't I at least get some good lyrics?" This got a laugh from everyone, except Omi, who looked puzzled.

"Why do the words you said matter?"

"I'll tell you when you're older," said Joe solemnly, then burst out laughing. The others followed suit. Omi raised one eyebrow in confusion.

Joe: As if I'd loose to Chase Young!

Me: Are you ever going to shut up?

Joe: Nope!

Me: R&R. And ignore him.

Joe: Don't do it!
