Well I'm back ready to start chapter 4, here we go;
Chapter 4,
Xiaolin Temple, China; 9:00am
The Xiaolin Dragons awoke to a rainy morning. Kim, Rai, Omi, and Clay all were eating in the kitchen. After several minutes they noticed that Maya hadn't came to eat breakfast so they all went to her room. What they found was very disturbing. Maya's bed was not disturbed even the slightest bit. Her Journal was opened to her last journal entry. And her bedroom window was closed, when it should have been open. The four Apprentices ran to Master Fung.
"Master Fung, we've got some bad news!" Kimiko shouted.
"What is wrong young monks, surely it cannot be as bad as you think?" Master Fung responded.
We can't find Maya anywhere," the four Apprentices shouted at once.
Master Fung's eyes widened "This is most troubleing..." Master Fung began but Dojo came in and interrupted him.
Master Fung a new shen gong wu has been activated, it's the Heart of Gold whoever wears it will be able to manipulate his or her size and shape at will." Dojo said.
"Then we must retrieve it before the forces of darkness," Master Fung responded.
But what about Maya," Raimundo asked.
"We will have to worry about that later, right now we must retrieve the Heart of Gold." Master Fung answered seriously.
The four Apprentices went to get changed. After a couple of minutes they were in the air heading for Antarctica. Everyone was wearing parkas, thick hats, multiple layers of pants and thick boots.
Chase Young's Layer, The Land of Nowhere: 9:30am
Chase Young walked into the dungeon of his lair, where Maya was chained to the wall. The girl was slumped on the floor unconscious, breathing raggedly she slowly opened her eyes.
W-what do you want with me Chase, I can't do anything for you?" Maya asked tiredly.
"I want to make you like me a servant of the forces of evil," Chase said grinning madly.
"Well that's so not going to happen you puta. I don't work for the bad guys got it!"
That's unfortunate because you don't have a choice in the matter, for I know the Acurian Curse." Chase responded. "Nairuca Esruc(Acurian Curse)," Chase said.
Maya's eyes turned ice blue. Her hair turned white, and her robe turned black with a red belt and red trim.
"Now go after the Heart of Gold, and if neccessary destroy the Xiaolin Warriors." Chase said.
Maya bowed and ran quickly out of Chase's lair.
Antarctica; 10:30am
In Antarctica the Xiaolin Dragons were searching for the Heart of Gold, as they spotted the Heart of Gold Raimundo was about to grab it when Jack Spicer interrupted the search.
"Back off Xiaolin Loser's this Wu is mine," Jack exclaimed.
"No you don't," Clay responded roughly.
Oh yes I...Hey where's the fifth Xiaolin Loser, did she call it quits?" Jack said mockingly.
"She's missing, but we don't need her to kick your butt." Kimiko answers angrily.
Suddenly a thunderous shockwave knocks Jack out of the sky and the Kim, Rai, Omi, and Clay onto the ground sending a cloud of ice into the air.
"What the hell was that," Rai exclaimed.
I don't know but whatever it was we'd better be ready," Kimiko explained.
Maya stepped out of the icy column grinning "Ooops, I missed. But don't worry I'll hit you eventually." she said her voice dark and emotionless.
"M-Maya what are you doing?" Raimundo asked confusedly.
What does it look like?" Maya responded evilly.
"Come on stop playing around Maya we've got a shen-gong-wu to grab!" Kimiko tries to reason.
My thoughts exactly," she responded darting towards Raimundo.
Maya tried to kick Rai, but he blocked it. She kept attacking him punching, kicking, amazing moves that only Master Fung could have taught her, with a slightly darker aura added to them.
"Please stop," Rai said to Maya after dodging a 'Meteor Kick' "I don't want to hurt you!"
Phht, like you could even try." she said " 'Thunder Flare Kick'!" Maya yelled as she swung her leg at Rai unleashing a thunderous electrical blast, which hit him head on blasting him into a snowy wall of ice, burying him in the process.
Omi leapt towards Maya "Please stop I do not wish to hurt you," Omi explained taking the 'Repulse the Monkey' stance.
You hurt me, with what your pitifull 'Repulse the Monkey' attack. Yeah right, 'Dark Thunderbolt'!"
The dark blast of thunder knocked Omi far away from Maya.
"Clay give up now 'cause we all know you won't hurt a girl." she said drop kicking Clay away as well.
Maya, you're my best friend we don't have to fight." Kimiko tried to reason.
"Oh, yeah we do. Time to find out who's the best girl in the group?" Maya explained taking a menacing looking fighting stance.
Alright, we'll do this your way but if you expect me to go easy on you just because we're best friends you're sadly mistaken." Kimiko responded taking a moderately menacing fighting stance.
"Fire Bomb," Kimiko shouted throwing a rapidly burning fireball at Maya.
Thunder Shield," Maya shouted bringing up a blue electrical shield which reflected the attack.
"Fire Burst," Kimiko shouted as Kimiko slammed her hands into the ice creating a bursting trail of flames that swarmed towards Maya.
Nice try Kim', but this battle's over. 'Dark Thunder Strike'!" Maya shouted as the sky went black and fired a black red trimmed thunderbolt out of the sky striking Kimiko, electrocuting her in the process.
Her robe's were almost completely destoyed leaving her body almost completely burned.
Smirking Maya grabbed the Heart of Gold, and disappeared off of the frozen waistland of Antarctica. Raimundo, Clay, and Omi got up cold, shivering, and coughing they all carried Kimiko over to Dojo. And after boarding him were flown back to the temple, where Master Fung placed Kimiko in the infermary.
Xiaolin Temple, China: 10:30pm
The three boys were hanging out in Raimundo's room, pondering Maya's strange behavior.
"Whaddya think's up with Maya Rai," Clay asked the sulking Brazilian teen sitting by the window.
Yes what do you think is 'down' with Maya Raimundo," Omi also asked.
However Raimundo was deep in thought, not noticing or hearing his friends talking.
In Raimundo's Mind
Rai was speaking with his dragon element of wind.
How could she do this to us, how could she turn evil and she hasn't even been with us for a long time.
Perhaps it isn't what you think, perhaps she is under some kind of curse? One where only your true loves first kiss can break it.
What kind of curse is it?
You've studied it before, just think back to when you once loved Kimiko.
Who said I was over her.
You can't have the both of them, sometime in the not so distant future you will have to choose one or the other.
But I can't, I don't want to break either of their hearts.
I know but you will have to do it.
The Acurian Curse is the problem, I can't...wait the Acurian Curse where'd that come from.
It's the curse Maya has been inflicted with.
But how did I do that?
It's your connection to her, that is all I can tell you.
And the mental conversation ended there.
Xiaolin Temple, Japan: 11:00pm
Raimundo ran to Master Fung as fast as he could.
"Master Fung I know what's wrong with Maya," he exclaimed loudly.
What do you believe is wrong with her young monk," Master Fung asked.
"She's affected by the Acurian Curse, and only I can save her." Raimundo responded.
You do realise that once the Acurian Curse is broken you and Maya will be binded by an eternal magical seal of love that can never be broken." Master Fung said.
"Yeah I know, but..." Raimundo was interrupted by a loud crash coming from the shen-gong-wu vault.
What was that," Master Fung asked.
"I don't know but whatever it is, it can't be good." Rai said as he and Master Fung ran to the shen-gong-wu vault.
When they got there Maya, Jack Spicer, Vlad, Wuya, Le Mime, Katnappe, Tubbimura, and Cyclops were stealing shen-gong-wu, and Clay & Omi were there trying to stop them.
Maya glanced at them "Vlad, Sphere of Yun immediately." at that Vlad trapped Master Fung within the magic of the Sphere of Yun.
You will pay for this," Omi shouted and leapt at Maya.
"Humpph, 'Chaos Thunder Blast'!" Omi was burned beyond belief, and knocked unconscious.
Clay charged at Maya "Eathquake Surge- Earth" Clay shouted as he stomped his foot on the ground sending a powerful shockwave at her.
Destructive Thunder Wave," Maya said while firing a powerful blast of dark thunder energy at Clay which resulted in the same thing that happend to Omi.
"Maya I may love you but I am not afraid to take you on," Rai said.
Sorry Rai but we can't fight now but here's something to remember me by. 'Thunderstorm of Chaos'!" A powerful thunderstorm whipped up and knocked Rai into a wall.
And then the whole group of villains dissappeared with the shen gong wu through the magic of the Golden Tiger Claws.
