Alright Lunar Lilly Muse, I'm updating! Better get to work on your update! Okay so next chapter, R&R and enjoy:

"DO YOU GUYS SEE THIS RASH? WE'VE GOT A SHEN GONG WU ALERT!" Dojo yelled holding up a very red tail.

"Ew Dojo!" Kimiko said turning her head away. "No one wants to see that!"

"Actually I'm incredibly fascinated by it." Ember said sarcastically.

"Come on guys hop on!" Dojo said super-sizing himself.

"So which wu is it?" Omi asked as Dojo took off.

"It's called the kitten claws. It's a metal glove with retractable claws." He explained.

"How can a glove be made of metal?" Clay asked.

"It's incredibly flexible. Since its metal it's been described as flexible as aluminum but as stronger than steel.The claws on that thing come out the shred through anything." Dojo told us.

"A metal glove. Interesting." I said thinking out loud. "Must be uncomfortable."

"Stronger than steel…Think it can stand the heat?" Ember asked pointing to herself.

"It probably could but you're assuming we're going to get. There's always Spicer." Dojo said.

"That whiny boy you told me about? Oh yeah he sounds like a real threat." Ember said in her usual sarcastic manner.

"Speaking of Spicer…Over there!" Kimiko shouted pointing off into the distance at Jack. He was hovering the in air with his heli-bot and ready to go after the wu.

"Jack-bots, ATTACK!" He ordered and the robots came after us, obviously they were no match for any of us. Dojo swerved and we attacked. Easy as that.

At the exact moment Jack spotted the wu we dropped off Dojo and made a run for it. Ember was the fastest and reached it first and touched the wu the exact same time Jack did.

"Give me that!" She exclaimed trying to pull it away from him. She was "winning" the tug-of-war but Jack wasn't letting go anytime soon.

"We have to have a showdown!" Jack told her, the wu had been glowing for quite some time.

"I don't play by the rules." She said and pulled it even harder almost getting it.

"You have to have a showdown!" I shouted at her.

"Fine." She sighed loudly.

"Okay then." Jack agreed. "Then…Um…What's your name?"

"Ember."

"Alright then, Ember, I challenge you to a xiaolin showdown!"

"I accept whiny-boy-Spicer." Ember said with no enthusiasm. I can understand not wanting to do a showdown and to just the take the wu, but it was her first showdown, she had to have some enthusiasm.

"I wager my monkey staff against your…What do you have anyway?" Jack asked.

"Do we have to use any wu? Let's just get this over with so I can kick your ass."

"Fine, no wu." Jack scowled.

"Well what's the challenge?"

"Race across the valley. First to reach the wu wins." Jack explained.

"LET'S GO XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" And the world started to change. A strip of land where Ember and Jack were standing grew high above us. Soon the rock we were standing on became towering cliffs above them. The trees disappeared and at the end of the long race the kitten claws were resting on a small stone pillar.

"GONG YE TEN PI!" Jack shouted, Ember however said nothing and took off for the claws.

"Hey! Cheater!" Jack said and ran off after her. I was expecting Jack to be slow, but I guess after running away all the time you get pretty fast. Ember was really fast too. Perhaps because she was always being hunted by that Jim guy. Or at least I thought she was…

As Ember reached her top speed something strange began to happen. It was a slow change at first. It started off as just her skin starting to turn reddish. Then it caught fire! The fire surrounded her body until it was just a big burning blaze. The fire starting to go down. Not like it was dying, but it went down in height. When it was very low to the ground it changed even more until it was a completely different shape. It was a bird. A big bird that was completely engulfed in flames. Ember was no where to be seen…She WAS the bird!

Jack had stopped to watch the transformation. Of course as soon as "Ember-bird" took off flying at top speed he started again. He knew it was pointless, he'd just picked up speed she was almost there. The bird dove down and grabbed the metal glove in her fiery talons and flew off towards the sky. The world changed back to normal except for the bird which was still flying around victoriously.

Jack just stood there with a stupid face watching her rip through the skies. The bird flew over us monks and dropped something silver and shiny. And just as I was about to catch it Jack made him move. He dove at us and grabbed the claws and started running away when a bird blocked his path.

Where the bird, Ember, lay on the floor a huge fire flared up in the air and when it faded she was standing there glaring at him. So she was the bird. I had just been assuming.

"Hand it over sissy boy." She demanded.

"Make me!" He said like a child.

"Oh I will." Ember said glaring.

"Fine just try and take it back you flaming misfit." He retorted. It didn't sound to harsh to me, but Ember's ears took a little hard.

Ember's hand darted forward and grabbed the claws. Then she pushed Jack down and held down there with her foot. It all happened so fast he didn't have time to react. And we just weren't thinking. She used her teeth to grab the tip of the middle finger on her glove and pull it off. She spit it to the side and shoved on the metal glove.

"Kitten claws." She said clearly and five metal point shot out of the tips of the glove. She lowered the claws right above Jack's face ready to gouge his eyes out. And the whole thing happened so fast he hardly had time to think. "Take it back." She whispered threateningly.

"Don't hurt me!" Was all he could scream. Fortunately we snapped out of it.

"Ember no!"

"Just leave him!"

We all shouted but she was still trying to blind him. He was using both hands to hold her wrist and push and keep her hand away.

"Ow! What are you doing to my hands!" Jack asked. Of course. He was holding her wrist and anyone who touches her skin gets a nasty burn.

"TAKE IT BACK!" She screamed at him.

"Fine! OW! I take it back!" He screamed like a whiny boy just as me and then others arrived to stop her. Thankfully she stopped on her own and got off him. Jack got up and started to run.

"Get back here!" She yelled at him.

"Why?" He said cowardly.

"Give me all your shen gong wu!" She shouted back. Was she going to mug him or something? Sounded good to me but he took off in the air and flew away. Even though she was feet away I could feel her tensing eager to go after him.

"So…You're a bird?" Omi asked after the silence.

"Not really. Since I'm literally bonded to fire I can turn into fire. And once in my fire form I can shape shift into something else. I could choose to look like a flaming human or something, but I've always gone with a bird." She explained.

"Cool." I said.

"Hey, would that whiney boy be some-how related to John and Lori Spicer? You know the famous ones?" She asked. (A/N: Made up those names.)

"Yeah he's their son." Clay answered.

"You're kidding! THE John and Lori Spicer are the parents of that little wuss?" She asked once more.

"Yes he is." Kimiko answered.

"Interesting." She said back and there was another silence. After seeing Ember's temper get like that we were all a little freaked out at the moment. Fortunately Dojo saved us by super sizing and flying us out of there. And still I wonder while looking back, how was it possible for me to miss it?

Originally, Ember was going to lose the showdown then go after Jack. But I kinda spaced out and kept writing and by the time I caught it I had already written to much to just erase it. Anyway I think it works. And I have to say, I think I've could've done better. I know I'm always criticizing myself but still I think this chapter has room for much improvement. Well hopefully you will disagree. Review please!
