"Which one is it this time?" Raimundo asked.
Kimiko pulled the scroll out of her backpack and took a look.
"The Thorn of Thunderbolt." Kimiko read. "It's a dagger that shoots lightning bolts in rings."
"Sounds a lot like the Eye of Dashi." Clay pointed out.
"Well it is very similar, but stronger. Much stronger." Dojo explained.
Kailani's eyes shimmered with mischief.
"Come on Wuya! We've got a Shen Gong Wu to capture." Jack said, climbing into his Giant Transforming Robot.
He revved up the engine, as Wuya floated in. Jack pushed another button on his watch, opening a large door in front of them. He slammed down on the gas and the vehicle took off.
"Everybody. Spread out and search." Kimiko said.
They all spread out and began looking for the Thorn of Thunderbolt. It didn't take long for Raimundo to see it wedged between two rocks at the base of a cliff. He picked it up and held it in the air.
"You guys! I found it!" He called out proudly.
"And now you lost it." Jack laughed from behind him as he snatched it out of his hands and hovered it just out of Raimundo's reach.
"Hey no fair, you cheated!" Raimundo said angrily.
"Being evil, it's what I do." Jack whispered.
Raimundo suddenly smiled.
"Well that might be something you should reconsider." He said.
"Jack! look out!" Wuya shouted.
Jack turned around just in time to see Omi jump on top of him and grab the Shen Gong Wu. He tumbled down with Jack hot on his trail.
"Jack-bots! Attack!" Jack ordered.
The robots flew in and kept the rest of the Apprentices busy. All accept Kailani since Jack had told them not to attack her.
"Kailani catch!" Omi yelled to her.
He tossed her the Thorn of Thunderbolt just before Jack made a grab for it. Kailani caught it and looked up in panic.
"Good job Kailani! Now give it to me and we can get out of here!" Dojo said.
Kailani looked at Dojo and was about to throw it to him.
"Wait!" Now Jack spoke. "Kailani, hand it over." He ordered, and held out his hand.
Kailani looked at Jack.
They all noticed her hesitating.
"Kailani! What are you doing? Don't give that to Jack Spicer! He's evil!" She reminded her.
"How do you know she's so good." Jack said to Kimiko.
"She can't be because…" Kimiko trailed off.
"He's right Kimiko." Kailani said. "But I'm not evil either. I don't think. I just don't know! I…I…I NEED TO BE ALONE!" She yelled frustrated.
She tossed the Shen Gong Wu over her shoulder and ran the other way. Kimiko attempted to follow, but felt something tug on her robe. She turned around to see Omi holding her back.
"You cannot choose her destiny for her. She must learn for herself. That is what Master Fung would say." He said wisely.
"You know he's right Kimiko. She has to make her own decision this time." Clay told her.
Suddenly they heard the sound of Jacks heli-bot start up. Kimiko grabbed his boot before he could get away.
"No! You heard what Omi said." Kimiko said.
"Just let me go. I know what I'm doing." Jack said solemnly.
To everyone's surprise, she let Jack go.
Jack flew around in the woods where Kailani had disappeared with no luck. Then he heard a strange sound. It sounded as if someone were playing a guitar. He followed the sound to a large tree in the forest. In the midst of the leaves, he saw Kailani sitting cross-legged on a branch, playing a wooden guitar. He listened to the depressing melody for awhile, until the song had finished. Kailani strummed one last time and dropped the guitar. It fell from the tree to the ground and shattered. Kailani pulled her knees in close and sobbed. Jack flew up slowely and say on the branch a few feet away. Kailani looked up, tears streaming down her face, ruining the eyeliner design. When she saw Jack, she buried her head again, rustling her bangs.
"Go away Jack. I said I wanted to be alone. I'm too confused right now." Kailani mumbled.
"I won't talk. I just want to be with you." Jack said quietly.
"You can't help me. No one can." Kailani said.
"I know." Jack replied.
"Then why are you here? Why won't you leave?" Kailani's voice was still muffled, but she had stopped crying and started whimpering.
"I'm not sure. But I know I should be here." Jack answered.
"Do you hate me for not giving you the Shen Gong Wu?" Kailani asked.
She had completely stopped crying, but kept her face down.
"Why should I be?" Jack said.
Kailani sighed. "Just leave already Jack."
Jack finally stood up and extended the propellers of his heli-bot. He turned back to look at her one last time.
"By the way, I never just liked you because I thought you were pretty. I'm not that shallow." He said before taking off.
When Kailani heard this, she sat up and tried to follow him. It was too late. He was just a dot in the sky.
Jack finally returned to the Xiaolin Apprentices.
"I know you're upset Jack, but remember what we came here for." Wuya said to him.
"Right." He mumbled.
This time, his eyes showed true anger. He grabbed the Thorn of Thunderbolt from where it had been thrown. The Apprentices made a half-hearted dive for it, but with no success. All they could do was stand stunned, and watch their prize slip away.
