Xiaolin Temple, China; 3:15am

Maya's P.O.V.

xxx

I tossed and turned in my bed but I couldn't go to sleep, so I got up and slipped quietly outside. Silently I began training "Fist of the West!" I shouted as I thrust my fist west which resulted in a sonicboom being emited which sped toward a tree. A loud crunch resulted from the impact which sent splinters flying.

Seeing my opportunity to turn the splinters into an attack I lept into action, summoning a small bit of chi I focused on the splinters. "Colorful Sparkle," I said as the splinters began to glow like they were fireworks.

I whipped my hands around my head and thrust them to the gorund, the glowing splinters went in the same motion as my hands and when the hit the ground they exploded into sparks of color.

After an hour of training I headed back to my room when I heard a noise coming from the

shen gong wu vault, so I ran there as fast as I could. When I got there Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay, and Omi were already there. I saw a boy with red hair, wearing black make-up, and a gothic outfit trying to steal the shen gong wu.

"Who is this joker Kim'," I asked.

"That's Jack Spicer, one of our most unwelcome of guests." Omi answered and prepared to take Spicer on.

"Hold on Omi I'll take on this pinche pendeja y fresa(stupid preppy asshole)," I answered.

Normal P.O.V.

Jack looked dumb founded at what she said "Can somebody get me a translator and who is this chick? Somebody new to the xiaolin loser team?"

"Don't ever call me a chick and I called you a stupid preppy asshole you puta(bitch)," Maya shouted.

And then she leapt at Jack, with a fire in her eyes she shouted "Mantis Kick!" Turning her body counter clock wise she gave Jack a devastating kick to the stomach, which sent Jack flying through the roof.

The others stared at her obviously impressed with her head-on attack, turning back to look at them she raised an eyebrow and said "What?"

Just then Dojo ran in with the ancient scroll of shen gong wu "We've got a live one here a classic 9.8 shen gong wu alert!" Dojo shouted.

Master Fung came in and taking the scroll from dojo unravelled it "It's the Winges Sandals. The sandals grant anyone who dons them the power to soar at tremendous speeds."

After changing their clothes the five dragons return to the vault. Everyone except Kimiko was wearing the usual. Kimiko had long grey hair which was streaked with black highlights and trailed down her strong back. She wore a white short sleeve shirt with a golden crescent moon in the center

of it, she wore hot pink pants with torn knees, and black boots.

Master Fung handed each of them two shen gong wu. To Kimiko he gave the Tabgle Web Comb, and Star Hanabi. To Raimundo he gave the Sword of the Storm, and Eye of Dashi. To Clay he gave the Third Arm Sash, and the Lasso Boa Boa. To Omi he gave the Orb of Tornami, and the

Crystal Glasses. To Maya he gave the Thorn of Thunderbolt, and the Mantis Flip Coin.

Dojo called out, "Come on. Times a wasting. Let's move." He grows to his 40 foot self, and the team gets on. After a minute they're all in the air "Where are we headed Dojo," Maya asked.

"Los Angeles, California one of the greatest surfing spots in the world." Hearing that answer made Maya a little queasy.

Moments later they were on a beach looking for the sandals, Omi spotted them at the edge of the beach. However he noticed Jack Spicer flying in to grab them, "I'll take him Omi he ruined my sleep anyway's. Mantis Flip Coin!" With that she leapt high into the air and landed just as Jack touched it, touching it also she said "Hey preppy boy I challenge you to a Shen Yi Bu Dare. My Thorn of Thunderbolt & Mantis Flip Coin against your Changing Chopsticks & Lottus Twister,"

"Fine I accept name your game, and I am not a PREPPY!" He shouts.

"The game is Island Hopping first to make it to the fifth island wins," Maya explains.

"Gong Yi Tampai," they both shouted as the scenery shifted.

Off the two went running through various obstacles to get to the next island, "Thorn of Thunderbolt! THUNDER!" Maya said as she blasted a clear pathe for her to get through "Mantis Flip Coin!" she said as she leapt to the next island.

Jack summoned 27 Jack-bot's and they all went after her, just as she made it to the third island the Jack-bots caught up. "Very good Jack," she said kind of impressed "But not good enough!" She shouted angrily "Short Circuit Blast!" All of Jack's robot's were fried and Maya had gotten to the fifth island, ending the showdown.

"Not bad Maya," Clay said tipping his hat.

"You were a 'Shock to Jack's System', now that's what I call Gurl Power." Kimiko congratulated.

"That was very impressive Maya in fact I couldn't have done better myself." Omi boasted.

"That was some pretty smooth moves out there Maya," Raimundo said.

Maya blushed "Eh, it was nothing."
