Chapter 2-

Somewhere in another dimension one is waiting for the day. The day they can escape their eternal torment and be free. The day is both close at hand and far away it seems. When the day comes, this world, your world is doomed for eternity.

Raimundo awoke with a start, his breath caught in his throat. He gasped for much-needed air.

What the Hell was that dream about? He thought.

The Brazilian wearily looked at the clock. It read 4:54. He glanced around and vaguely wondered if any of the others had that dream. It wasn't as if he could brush it off. The dream came to him last night too. The Dragon of the Wind hastily got up and checked on the other Dragons. They were all sleeping peacefully; their dreams were unmarred by ominous voices, dark shapes, and a world on fire.

It's just a dream; he thought with a sigh and went to get a drink of water. After that he couldn't get back to sleep.

Just like last night no sleep, he thought and rolled over again. Last night he tossed and turned restlessly after the dream had startled him awake. His only saving grace was the fact that he had awoken early in the morning instead of a few hours after he had gone to sleep. It was the exact same time as last night as well. Was that just a coincidence too?

Sighing he got up and went to go get breakfast. If he wasn't going to get any more sleep, he might as well not try.

About two hours later the others finally got up to find Raimundo had already gotten up, eaten breakfast, and was now practicing his element, out of sheer boredom.

"Took you guys long enough," he sighed as he came up to them as they ate.

"Why are you up already?" Kimiko asked as she poured her milk into her cereal, "You're usually the last one up."

"Yeah," Clay and Omi agreed eating their own cereal.

Raimundo sighed and stared at them for a moment. Should he tell them or not? There was only quiet as Raimundo thought about it.

"I've been having this weird dream lately, that's all," Raimundo sighed and went to leave the kitchen.

"And that makes you be up early in the morning?" Master Fung asked as he came up to them.

"I wasn't getting any sleep," Raimundo sighed, "So I decided not to try."

"What's this dream about?" Master Fung asked.

Raimundo stood quiet for a moment, thinking hard.

What was that dream really about? The world being doomed? He thought.

"I guess... it was about..." Raimundo sighed, finding it hard to think of the exact words to say to them, "Something getting out, the end of the world maybe, I'm not really sure myself."

"Something getting out?" Master Fung questioned.

"Look it was just a dream," Raimundo snapped annoyed and yelled, "Why are you asking me!"

The Brazilian angrily left the room.

"Master Fung, why were you asking about Raimundo's dream?" Omi asked eating his cereal.

"It could have been a premonition," Master Fung sighed, "There are other things in other dimensions that if they got into this world, there'd be dire consequences."

"Do you think that Raimundo could have had a premonition when no one else has?" Kimiko asked, thinking aloud, "And why Raimundo?"

"I don't know," Master Fung sighed, "But it's worth looking into. Why don't you monks ask him some more about the dream later, when he calms down."

"Why'd he get so riled up about it anyway?" Clay sighed finishing his cereal and going over to put the bowl in the sink.

"That's a good question," Master Fung said as he left, "Maybe you should ask him."

Two hours later and Raimundo was still in a bad mood.

"Shen-gong-wu alert!" Dojo yelled as he came out carrying the scroll and followed by Master Fung.

"Just great!" Raimundo yelled sarcastically as they all circled around Dojo to see the new wu.

"Oh no!" Dojo yelped as he saw the image on the scroll.

The image showed a figure that transformed into something else, different things really and they all weren't good things.

"What's that?" Omi asked watching the figure.

"The Demonic Pendent!" Dojo shrieked and hid himself under Clay's hat.

"What about this pendent?" Clay asked, still watching the scroll.

"Why would Dashi make something like that?" Kimiko wondered aloud.

"It was an accident," Dojo told them, "Dashi had meant to create something else. When he realized what he actually made he hid it right away. I thought that thing would never be found again!"

"Young monks you must go and find this before someone else does," Master Fung said gravely, locking his eyes with Dojo's.

"Yeah, we'd better!" Kimiko said, taking her eyes off the scroll and looking to Master Fung, "And we know what you mean!"

They quickly ran to the vault to prepare for their trip.

Raimundo grabbed the Sword of the Storm, Kimiko the Tangled Web Comb, Omi the Eye of Dashi, and Clay grabbed The Two Ton Tunic.

"All right kiddies, let's go!" Dojo shouted when they were back outside and he turned into his larger version, "This one's going to be hard."

The four Dragons quickly jumped onto Dojo's back.

"Dojo, you must not forget this," Master Fung said handing a gold necklace to Raimundo.

"Why are you handing this to me?" Raimundo asked as he took it.

"You will need this to get where you're going," Master Fung explained, "I hand it to you because I think you are the most able to have it."

"Ummm...thanks," Raimundo said puzzled and looked at the necklace.

"Put it on," Master Fung told him

He hastily put it around his neck and tucked it under his shirt.

"Good-bye and good luck on your journey," Master Fung told them all and then they were on their way.
