I do not own Xiaolin Showdown, or any related material. This chapter sucks, I know. I was really tired when I wrote it, but I wanted to add another chapter in while I had the chance. So please, keep in mind that I was wicked tired, so that is why this is not a good chapter XD.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The four young monks surrounded the table, devouring the food that was on it. Dojo was having his own meal, when suddenly his body started freaking out. He caught the attention of the monks.

"You ok Dojo?" Raimundo asked, concerned for his reptilian friend.

"Yeah," Dojo replied, "But we got a new Shen Gong Wu revealing itself!"

"Dang nabit!" Clay shouted, slamming down his fork. He had just finished a large steak and was about to bite into another one. "I hate it when they activate during chow time."

"Let us get going!" Omi said, excitedly. "It costs alot to buy time."

"Uh..." Clay, Kimiko, and Dojo replied simutaneously, unable to decipher what Omi had just said.

"I think he means time is money," Rai translated.

"Oh," they said unanimously.

Dojo sliced through the warm air, flying at a fast pace towards their destination. His green scales sparkled in the sunlight, glistening brightly. The four young Dragons rode on his back, each dressed in their civilian clothing, sans Omi who always wore his Xiaolin robes. "So what is the Shen Gong Wu?" Clay asked, wondering what it was they were after.

"The Switching Serpent," Kimiko replied, looking at the scroll. It displayed a picture of a green snake, biting it's own tail, in the shape of a sideways figure eight. It was large enough for a person to use one of the loops as a handle. Kimiko continued, "It allows you to switch powers and abilities with someone else by getting them to hold onto the other end."

"Ooo, a most wonderous Shen Gong Wu," Omi said, admiring the image of the Switching Serpent.

"Let's just hope Jack Spicer doesn't show up," Raimundo added, "He's the only person besides us and Clay's sister who has any Shen Gong Wu." Raimundo held tighter onto Dojo's back, deep in thought. This was his first mission as team leader, and he wanted it to go as smoothly as possible.

"That Jack Spicer, he makes me madder then a porcupine with a hangnail," Clay said.

"Hold on kids, we're here," Dojo said as he descended into a small jungle area. Landing in the only open area he could find, Dojo shrunk back into his small, normal form. "We'll have to take the Crouching Cougar from here, I can navigate between all these trees."

"Crouching Cougar!" Omi said, pulling out the Shen Gong Wu. It turned into a large cat-like machine, and the monks all hopped on its back. "Let's go!"

After riding through the jungle for a mile, Raimundo noticed something strange sticking out of a tree. "There it is!" he yelled, "The Switching Serpent!"

"Thanks for the heads up, Xiaolin Losers!" came a voice from above the trees. There was a sound of helicopter blades spinning, and down descending Jack Spicer. Not wasting any time, he shouted, "Jack Bots, attack!" pointing at the monks. Ten Jack Bots came out of the trees, heading straight for the monks.

Raimundo leaped off the Crouching Cougar, his arms extended behind him. Bringing them forward, he shouted, "Shoku Sky - Wind!" Gale force winds shot out, sending four Jack Bots crashing into the ground.

Clay leapted down, and pulled up his left sleeve. "Longhorn Taurus!" he shouted, and his elemental Shen Gong Wu formed around his left arm. Facing down two Jack Bots, he pulled out his Wudai Weapon. "Big Bang Meteorang!" he said as he tossed it at the Jack Bots. It tore through them easily, causing them to explode into masses of fire and metal.

"Cat's Eye Draco!" Kimiko shouted, as her own elemental Shen Gong Wu formed around her left arm. Reaching into her small purse-like weapon, she yelled, "Arrow Sparrow!" and tossed a few small metal sparrows at the remaining four Jack Bots. The Arrows ignited, and combined into a giant fireball. The fireball crashed into the bots, exploding.

Omi, not wasting time with the Jack Bots, quickly ran to reach the Switching Serpent. Flipping and jumping, he managed to reach it at the same moment Jack Spicer did. "Jack Spicer," he said, "I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! I wager my Mantis Flip Coin for your Monkey Staff."

"The game is tag," Jack interrupted, smiling evily.

"Omi, don't!" Raimundo tried to warn him, but it was too late.

"Let's go! Xiaolin Showdown!" Omi and Jack shouted in unison. Suddenly, the trees began to grow rapidly, the limbs widening and stretching into odd positions. Omi stood on the ground in his blue and gold ninja-esque Showdown uniform. The other monks were on a platform a few yards away, ready to watch the Showdown. Jack stood ten feet away from Omi, eager to start. "Gong Yi Tanpai!" they both yelled, and the Showdown began.

"Monkey Staff!" Jack yelled, getting down to business. His arms enlongated and his face morphed, turning more monkey-like. A tail sprung out of his backside, and he leapt staight at Omi, trying to get an early win.

"Shadow Slicer!" Omi shouted, creating a hologram of himself. He expected Jack to get confused, allowing him to tag him.

Jack closed his eyes and breathed in deep in his nose. Using his monkey sense of smell, he immediately was able to figure out which was the real one. Diving for the hologram, he faked being tricked. Just as the real Omi went to tag him, Jack reaching back with his tail, hitting Omi on the back. Suddenly, the trees degrew, forming into their original heights. Omi and the other monks changed back into their previous clothing. Jack took to the air, carrying the Monkey Staff, Shadow Slicer, and the Switching Serpent.

"You thought you fooled me, losers! Little did you expect that I would be smarter as a monkey!" Jack laughed as he rose into the air.

"You really are an idiot," Kimiko sighed.

"An idiot that get's things done!" Jack replied, oblivious to his insulting himself.

Omi hung his head in shame as the others gathered around him. "I am sorry," he said sadly, "I let you all down."

"Don't worry about it, little dude," Raimundo told him, placing his hand on Omi's shoulder, "We'll get him next time."

"Yeah, besides, Jack deserves a snake Shen Gong Wu anyways" Clay added, "seeing as he is one."

The four monks rode back to the small clearing on the Crouching Cougar, and Dojo grew, allowing them to get on his back. "Next stop, Xiaolin Temple," he said as he took off.

As soon as they landed, Omi headed straight for his "room".

"Wow," Kimiko said, "Omi is really taking this hard."

"Yeah, I know," Rai replied, "I wonder what's bothering him." Raimundo thought about going and asking Omi what was wrong, but decided to let him have some space. He knew that is what he would want if it had happened to him.

Omi sat in his room, meditating. Why have I been acting so careless? he thought to himself, Focus Omi. You cannot let yourself make mistakes like this. How are the others supposed to know you are the best when you keep acting like the worst? Next time we will not loose to Jack Spicer. No way. You'll see Jack Spicer, next time the shoe will be put on with the other hand.
